7. FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS REPORT

The detailed use of proceeds from the Proposed Placing of A Shares are set out in paragraph 2(9) headed “Use of Proceeds” in Section II of this circular. Details in relation to the use of proceeds are further set out in the Feasibility Analysis Report, a copy of which is set out in Appendix III to this circular, and are summarized as follows:

(I) Automation equipment industrialization projects

It is one of the major missions of the PRC government to vigorously develop automation manufacturing equipment during the “Twelfth Five-Year” period, as automated and intelligent production is the major trend of the manufacturing industry upgrade in the future.

There is huge demand in the automation manufacturing equipment market in the PRC. However, domestic enterprises are relatively underdeveloped in this technology-, talent- and capital-intensive industry, as their American, Japanese and European peers have long dominated the markets of the related products. Since 1994, when the approval of the former State Economic and Trade Commission to establish the “national production technology development center” was obtained, the Company has long been engaged in the development, manufacturing and sales of industrial automation equipment, and possessed high-end core technologies in the sector of industrial robots and complete automation equipment in the PRC.

The Company intends to use proceeds from the Proposed Placing of A Shares towards the automation equipment industrialization projects to be implemented by Technology Development Company in Nanjing Economic and Technological Development Zone. The construction period of this project is expected to be 24 months.

The proceeds will be mainly used for such projects as industrial robots, automatic transmission equipment, and automatic filling equipment. The implementation of the above projects will enable the Company to expand its existing production capacity, further boost its business scale and core competitiveness, break the monopoly by its foreign rivals, and lay a solid foundation for its rapid and sustainable growth in both revenue and profit in the future.

The total investment for these projects is RMB615,630,000 and is intended to be funded out of the proceeds from the Proposed Placing of A Shares. The estimated annual profit growth of this project is RMB170,861,000, with promising economic benefits.

(III) Traffic electronic equipment industrialization projects

China is now in the process of large-scale urbanization. With fast-rising car ownerships, and increasing supply-and-demand imbalance in urban public transport, there is an increasingly urgent need for construction of railway transit. On 5 September 2012, the National Development and Reform Commission revealed feasibility reports on 13 railway lines, with aggregated length of 396.39 kilometers and approved investments of RMB250.496 billion. The said railway lines are expected to be fully completed by 2017, and contribute additional investments of RMB50 billion per year to railway transit construction.

It is projected that China will have an average of 25-35 railway transit projects in respect of the automatic fare collection (AFC) system, the ticket clearance management center (ACC) system, and communication system integration in the coming five years. After eight years of development in the railway transit industry, the Company possesses complete project implementation capabilities in respect of AFC systems, ACC systems and communications systems integration, with fully proprietary intellectual property rights to the AFC systems, ACC systems and relevant terminal equipment, and has developed various product series to meet different users’ demands. During recent years, with its expanding business scale and rising contract reserves, the Company has seen its demand for subsequent investment substantially increase in order to consolidate its leading position in the market.

The Company intends to use proceeds from the Proposed Placing of A Shares towards the traffic electronic equipment industrialization projects to be implemented by Information Industry Company in Nanjing Economic and Technological Development Zone. The construction period of this project is expected to be 24 months.

The proceeds from the Proposed Placing of A Shares will be mainly used towards AFC systems, ACC systems and dedicated railway transit communication systems. The implementation of these projects will enable the Company to further increase its technological edge, gain larger market shares and strengthen its leading position in the industry.

The total investment for these projects is RMB149,550,000, and is intended to be funded out of the proceeds from the Proposed Placing of A Shares. The estimated annual profit growth of this project is RMB44,502,000, with promising economic benefits.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(IV) R&D center project

The Company intends to use proceeds from the Proposed Placing of A Shares towards the R&D center project to be implemented by Technology Development Company in Nanjing Economic and Technological Development Zone. The construction period of this project is expected to be 24 months.

Upon completion, this project will be positioned as a technology, design and R&D center for high-end electronic equipment, which can provide strong technical support for the Company to maintain its technological edge and achieve sustainable growth.

Through implementing the R&D center project, the Company can build up its R&D strength, consolidate its technological resources, expand its research domains, further boost its technological edge in the industry, enhance product quality and its comprehensive competitiveness. The R&D center project will drive the continued growth and development of the Company.

The total investment for this project is RMB209,960,000, RMB209,380,000 of which is intended to be funded out of the proceeds from the Proposed Placing of A Shares.

(V) Replenishment of working capital

The high-end electronic equipment industry in which the Company operates is technology-, talent- and capital-intensive in nature. The Company has not engaged in equity financing activities since it raised funds through initial public offering in 1996. The Company funds its development mainly with its own accumulated profits and bank loans.

In recent years, the Company has been focused on the development of the high-end electronic equipment industry and achieved sustained and fast growth in principal businesses. With the expansion of business scales, the Company’s needs for capital to fund its day-to-day operations and development have also been growing. After completion of the Proposed A Shares Placing, the production scales of the Company’s automation equipment, communication equipment and electronic traffic equipment businesses will be further expanded and the Company’s market shares will be larger, leading to stronger capital needs in future.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE PROPOSED PLACING OF A SHARES AND THE NEIIC SUBSCRIPTION

The Directors (including independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the Proposed Placing of A Shares and the NEIIC Subscription will further enhance the comprehensive strength and core competitiveness of the Company, consolidate its position as the market leader, realize the Company’s development strategy on integration and optimisation of the industrial chain, boost its results and bring higher returns to the Shareholders.

Furthermore, supplementing the working capital of the Company with the proceeds from the Proposed Placing of A Shares will help strengthen the Company’s financial health and optimize its financial structure by directly improving the Company’s cash flow status and reducing its finance expenses.

Taking into account the above, the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) considers that it is in the interest of the Company to enter into the Proposed Placing of A Shares and the NEIIC Subscription and that the terms of the NEIIC Subscription Agreement have been negotiated at arm’s length and on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As depicted by the above table, the Group’s turnover improved significantly from 2010 to 2011. The Group’s profit and total comprehensive income for the period also increased significantly by approximately fourteen times from approximately RMB7.7 million in 2010 to approximately RMB116.1 million in 2011. As advised by the Directors, such increase was due to the great strides in principal businesses such as electronic manufacturing products, electronic intelligent products, electronic equipment products and the increase in share of profits of associates.

From the above table, we also noted that the Group’s cash and cash equivalents has decreased in the past two financial years. In addition, the Group’s total liabilities and bank borrowings as at 30 June 2012 increased as compared to the same as at 31 December 2010.

LETTER FROM GUANGDONG SECURITIES

With reference to the 2012 Interim Report and as advised by the Directors, in the second half of the year, the Company will steadily push forward the adjustment to business structure, corporate structure, assets structure and personnel structure, proceed with the reorganization and integration of the specialized subsidiaries of the Company, so as to rationalize equity relationship, optimize business layout, consolidate the business segment centering on electronic equipment and electronic manufacturing and expand the consumer electronics business. The Company will continue to increase research investment to enhance independent innovation capability and improve the technical added value of products to raise the competitiveness of its products.

Information on NEIIC

With reference to the Board Letter, NEIIC is principally engaged in the research and development, services and transfer of electronic information technologies; research and development, manufacture, sale and relevant services of electronic products; design, construction and relevant services of electronic engineering; investment in real estate; property management; industrial investment and assets operation and management services.

Financing alternatives available to the Group

As referred to in the Board Letter, the Company had not conducted any fund raising activities in the past 12 months immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date.

Upon our enquiry with the Directors in this respect, we understand that the Directors have considered both debt and equity financing as fund raising methods for the Group from Hong Kong capital market and/or PRC capital market. In relation to debt financing, the Directors advised us that in light of that (i) the debt financing may incur interest expenses as compared to equity financing; and (ii) the Company does not prefer to increase the Group’s gearing level and create additional debt liabilities to the Group, debt financing is considered to be less preferable for the Group at present.

The Directors advised us that having considered the Group mainly operates in the PRC with most of the transactions denominated and settled in RMB and the funding requirement of the Group in RMB to finance the Projects, it will be in the interest of the Company to issue new A Shares to obtain the funding directly in RMB. In the event that, the Company conducts fund raising activities by issuance of new H Shares in Hong Kong, the Company is required to convert the foreign currencies raised from such issue to RMB, as well as to go through relevant procedures and approvals as required by the relevant PRC rules and regulations to transfer the proceeds back to the PRC for the Group’s uses.

LETTER FROM GUANGDONG SECURITIES

Furthermore, according to the Measures for Administration of the Issue of Securities by Listed Companies and the Implementation Rules for the Non-Public Issuance of Shares by Listed Companies issued by the CSRC (the “ Measures ”), the non-public issuance of new A shares is generally subject to a lock-up period of not less than (i) 36 months period for (a) the controlling shareholders, their beneficial owners, or their associates; (b) investors who obtain the control power upon the completion of the issuance; and (c) strategic investors as introduced by the board of the company; or (ii) 12 months period for the other investors from the date of the completion of the issuance. With reference to the Board Letter, the A Shares to be subscribed by NEIIC shall not be transferable for a period of 36 months from the date of completion of the Proposed Placing of A Shares. The A Shares to be subscribed by other target subscribers apart from NEIIC are not transferable for a period of 12 months from the date of completion of the Proposed Placing of A Shares. However, there is no similar compulsory regulatory requirement in relation to lock-up for H shares listed in Hong Kong. In light of the aforementioned, the Directors are of the view that the issuance of new A shares has limited the negative impact to the A Share market price of the Company with a lock-up period.

With regard to equity financing, the Directors advised us that although both open offer and rights issue would allow Shareholders to maintain their respective pro-rata shareholdings in the Company and at the same time strengthening the capital base of the Company, such fund raising exercises (i) require the Company to procure commercial underwriting; and (ii) in general, are relatively more time consuming as compared with any placing and/or subscription of new Shares.

Having considered the above, the Directors are of the opinion that the Proposed Placing of A Shares is the most appropriate fund raising method currently available for the Group.

Reasons for the Proposed Placing of A Shares and use of proceeds

With reference to the Board Letter, the Directors are of the view that the Proposed Placing of A Shares and the NEIIC Subscription will further enhance the comprehensive strength and core competitiveness of the Company, consolidate its position as the market leader, realize the Company’s development strategy on integration and optimisation of the industrial chain, boost its results and bring higher returns to the Shareholders.

The implementation of the projects to be financed by the proceeds from the Proposed Placing of A Shares will further increase the Company’s production capacity and market shares in key regions, further expand the Company’s market influence, create new profit sources, enhance the Company’s technology development strengths, improve product quality and reduce production costs, which will in turn enhance the Company’s profitability and core competitiveness.

LETTER FROM GUANGDONG SECURITIES

Furthermore, supplementing the working capital of the Company with the proceeds from the Proposed Placing of A Shares will help strengthen the Company’s financial health and optimize its financial structure by directly improving the Company’s cash flow status and reducing its finance expanses.

The proceeds raised will not exceed RMB1,320 million through the Proposed Placing of A Shares. After deduction of the relevant expenses, the net proceeds will be used in the automation equipment industrialization project of Technology Development Company, communication equipment industrialization project of Technology Development Company, traffic electronic equipment industrialization project of Information Industry Company and R&D center project of Technology Development Company (the “ Projects ”); and to supplement working capital as set forth under the sub-section headed “use of proceeds” in the Board Letter. Details of the Projects are set out in the section headed “Feasibility analysis report” of the Board Letter.

Having considered the above, we consider that the Proposed Placing of A Shares (including the NEIIC Subscription) is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

(2) The NEIIC Subscription Agreement

On 7 November 2012, the Board passed written resolutions pursuant to which it was resolved that, among other things, subject to Shareholders’ approval, the Company will apply to the CSRC for the non-public issuance of no more than 260,500,000 additional A Shares, representing approximately 63.07% of all the A Shares currently in issue or 38.68% of the total issued A Shares as enlarged by the Proposed Placing of A Shares, at a subscription price of not less than RMB5.07 (approximately HK$6.24) per A Share. It is proposed that the A Shares under the Proposed Placing of A Shares will be issued to no more than ten investors including NEIIC.

On the even date, the Company and NEIIC entered into the conditional NEIIC Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which, NEIIC has agreed to subscribe for the new A Shares at a total subscription price of RMB200 million (approximately HK$246 million), at a price of not less than RMB5.07 per share. The maximum number of new A Shares to be subscribed under the NEIIC Subscription Agreement is 39,447,732 A Shares. The subscription price for NEIIC will be the same as the subscription price for other investors under the Proposed Placing of A Shares.

LETTER FROM GUANGDONG SECURITIES

The Minimum Issue Price

As stated in the Board Letter, the issue price per A Share will not be less than 90% of the average trading price of the A Shares in the 20 trading days immediately preceding the Pricing Base Date (the “ Pricing Basis ”), i.e. RMB5.07 per A Share (the “ Minimum Issue Price ”) (the average trading price of the A Shares in the 20 trading days immediately preceding the Pricing Base Date = the total amount traded in the 20 trading days immediately preceding the Pricing Base Date of the A Shares/the total volume traded in the 20 trading days immediately preceding the Pricing Base Date of the A Shares). The exact issue price will be determined by the Board (pursuant to the authorization granted by the Shareholders’ general meeting) after obtaining the approval of the CSRC for the Proposed Placing of A Shares with reference to bid prices offered by target subscribers. The issue price of the Proposed Placing of A Shares will be adjusted correspondingly in case of ex-rights or ex-dividend during the period from the Pricing Base Date to the issue date.

The Minimum Issue Price represents:

  • (a) a premium of approximately 7.64% over the closing price of RMB4.71 per A Share as at the Latest Practicable Date;

  • (b) a discount of approximately 7.65% to the closing price of RMB5.49 per A Share as quoted on from the Bloomberg on the Pricing Base Day;

  • (c) a discount of approximately 8.32% to the average closing price of RMB5.53 per A Share as quoted from Bloomberg for the last five trading days up to and including the Pricing Base Day; and

  • (d) a discount of approximately 7.82% to the average closing price of RMB5.50 per A Share as quoted from Bloomberg for the last ten trading days up to and including the Pricing Base Day.

We noted that the pricing basis for the Proposed Placing of A Shares complies with the the Measures issued by the CSRC, which requires the A share issue price to be not less than 90% of the average trading price of A shares during the period of 20 trading days prior to the pricing base day, being (i) the announcement date of the board resolution(s) in relation to the issue of A shares; or (ii) the announcement date of the resolution(s) in the shareholders’ meeting in relation to the issue of A shares; or (iii) the first day of the issue period.

LETTER FROM GUANGDONG SECURITIES

In addition, we have searched through the website of the Stock Exchange regarding the pricing of the announced placing/subscription of new A shares by the companies with H shares listed on main board of the Stock Exchange and A shares listed on the stock exchange in the PRC (the “ Comparable Pricing ”) and identified to the best of our knowledge and as far as we are aware of, during the period from 1 January 2012 to the date of announcement in relation to the Proposed Placing of A Shares, 6 relevant transactions as set out below (Shareholders should note that the businesses, operations and prospects of the Company are not the same as the companies listed below. However, for the purpose of providing Shareholders with a general reference for common recent market practice of companies with H shares listed on main board of the Stock Exchange and A shares listed on the stock exchange in the PRC in transactions which involved placing/subscription of new A shares, we consider the Comparable Pricing to be exhaustive and fair and representative samples):

Date of
Company name Stock code announcement
Aluminum Corporation of China Limited 2600 8 March 2012
Bank of Communications Company Limited 3328 15 March 2012
Jingwei Textile Machinery Company Limited 350 12 April 2012
Air China Limited 753 27 April 2012
China Southern Airlines Company Limited 1055 11 June 2012
China Eastern Airlines Corporation Limited 670 11 September 2012

We noted that the Comparable Pricing are also complied with the Measures and the Pricing Basis is in line with the market practice, i.e. the issue price per A Share would not be less than 90% of the average trading price of the A shares in the 20 trading days immediately preceding the pricing base date.

In addition, NEIIC will not participate in any price bidding process, and has agreed to accept the result of the price bidding process. The subscription price for A Shares applicable to NEIIC will be the same as the price applicable to other target subscribers. Details of the safeguards to prevent NEIIC participating in any price bidding process (the “ Safeguards ”) is set out in the section headed “2. Structure of the proposed placing of A Shares” of the Board Letter. We consider that should the Safeguards be strictly followed and executed, NEIIC would likely to be prevented from participating in any price bidding process.

Having taken into account that (i) the Pricing Basis complies with the Measures and is in line with the market practice; and (ii) the subscription price to NEIIC will be the same as the price applicable to other target subscribers, we consider that the Pricing Basis is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

LETTER FROM GUANGDONG SECURITIES

Lock-up period

The shares to be subscribed by NEIIC are not transferable within 36 months from the completion date of the Proposed Placing of A Shares. As aforementioned, the Directors are of the view that the issuance of new A shares has limited negative impact to the A Share market price of the Company with a lock-up period.

Having considered the above, we are of the view that the terms of the NEIIC Subscription Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

(3) Dilution effect on the shareholding interests of the existing public Shareholders

LETTER FROM GUANGDONG SECURITIES

As depicted by the table above, the shareholding interests of the existing public Shareholders in the Company would be diluted by approximately 13.92 percent point immediately after completion of the Proposed Placing of A Shares. Taking into account (i) the reasons for and benefits of the Proposed Placing of A Shares; and (ii) that the terms of the NEIIC Subscription Agreement being fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned, we are of the view that the aforementioned level of dilution to the shareholding interests of the existing public Shareholders is acceptable.

(4) Financial effects of the NEIIC Subscription

Effect on net asset value and gearing

With reference to the 2012 Interim Reports, the unaudited consolidated net asset value and the gearing ratio (the ratio of total liabilities to total assets) of the Group as at 30 June 2012 were approximately RMB1,615.1 million and 45.2% respectively. As confirmed by the Directors, the NEIIC Subscription would increase the total assets and net asset value of the Group.

Since the total assets of the Group is expected to increase while the Group total liabilities would remain unchanged as a result of the NEIIC Subscription, the Directors expected that the NEIIC Subscription would improve the Group’s gearing position.

Effect on working capital

As confirmed by the Directors and aforementioned, part of the net proceeds from the NEIIC Subscription will be applied as replenishment of working capital of the Company. As such, the Directors expected that the NEIIC Subscription would increase the working capital of the Group.

It should be noted that the aforementioned analyses are for illustrative purpose only and do not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will be upon completion of the NEIIC Subscription.

Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the NEIIC Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and we recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution in this regard.

(II) Changes to utilisation of proceeds from previous fundraising exercise in actual investment projects

As of 31 December 2000, an aggregate amount of RMB10,720,100 was invested in the hybrid fiber cable telecommunication project (“HFC Project”), and the remaining RMB21,601,900 had not been invested in this project; and an aggregate amount of RMB10,660,000 was invested in the digital laser video disc player project (“DVD Project”) (RMB460,000, RMB5,000,000 and RMB5,200,000 were invested in the project in 1997, 1998 and 1999 respectively), and the remaining RMB19,140,000 had not been invested in this project. As the HFC Project was liquidated in 2000 and the DVD Project was transferred to Panda Electronics Group Limited during the assets restructuring of the Company in 2000, these two projects required no further investment from the Company and the plan for use of the proceeds required change accordingly.

As considered and approved by the 16th meeting of the third board of directors of the Company and the third supervisory committee of the Company and approved by the 2000 annual general meeting of the Company, the Company changed the use of proceeds of RMB21,601,900 raised from H share issue (originally intended for the HFC Project) and RMB19,140,000 raised from A share issue (originally intended for the DVD Project), by investing RMB4,200,000 in MPower Batteries (Nanjing) Co., Ltd and using the balance of RMB36,541,900 to supplement working capital. Jiangsu Nanjing Yongheng Law Firm expressed an opinion on the legitimacy of the voting results of the 2000 annual general meeting of the Company and issued the Ning Yong Lv Gu Zi (2001) No.10 report.

The resolutions of the board of directors, the supervisory committee and the annual general meeting of the Company in relation to the change to use of the proceeds raised were published on Shanghai Securities News, China Securities Journal, Wen Wei Po and Hong Kong iMail as designated by the securities regulatory authorities.

(III) Status of actual utilisation of proceeds from previous fundraising exercise

  • (IV) Status of transfer or replacement of investment projects utilising proceeds from previous fundraising exercise

  • According to the Prospectus, RMB64,644,000 of the proceeds was used for “establishment of the joint venture by the Company and Japan Sharp”. Nanjing Sharp Electronics Co., Ltd. (“NSEC”) was jointly established in 1996 by the Company and Japan Sharp Co., Ltd. (“Japan Sharp”). It is principally engaged in the consumable electronics industry, namely, production and sale of liquid crystal televisions, projecting televisions, large-screen colour televisions and sound equipment and provision of related after-sale services. However, since there was very keen competition and high risks in the consumable electronics industry in which NSEC was engaged, the Company entered into an agreement with Japan Sharp, pursuant to the approval by the 2005 first extraordinary general meeting, to transfer its 8.72% equity interests in NSEC for a consideration determined on the basis of the appraised value in the Valuation Report through arms’ length negotiation between the Company and Japan Sharp. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company recovered the investment of RMB82,282,000 and realised a gain on disposal of investment totalling RMB6,366,300 on 28 October 2005.

According to the resolution passed at the 2005 first extraordinary general meeting, the capital recovered from this equity transfer was used for development of the Company’s principal operations. The equity transfer transaction was disclosed on 17 October 2005 in China Securities Journal, Shanghai Securities News and Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao and The Standard.

  1. RMB28,800,000 of the proceeds was used for the “multi-media colour television and digital colour television” project. According to resolutions passed at the Company’s 2000 extraordinary general meeting, the Company transferred equity interests relating to television business of eight independent legal persons to Nanjing Panda Group Co. Ltd. at a price of RMB121.97 million and realised a gain of RMB18,039,200.

(v) Status of idle proceeds

As at 30 September 2012, there are no uses of temporary idle funds comprising proceeds raised from the previous fundraising exercise for other purposes.

FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS REPORT

APPENDIX III

2. Necessity of project construction and development prospect

It is one of the major missions of the PRC government to vigorously develop automation manufacturing equipment during the “Twelfth Five-Year” period, as automated and intelligent production is the major trend of the manufacturing industry upgrade in the future. At present, an industrial system for automation equipment mainly involving new types of sensors, intelligent control systems, industrial robots and complete automatic production lines has basically taken shape. In 2010, as part of the automation manufacturing equipment industry, industrial automation control systems and instruments and apparatus, CNC machine tools, industrial robots and their systems posted sales revenue of over RMB300 billion. According to the state’s Twelfth Five-Year Development Plan for the High-end Equipment Manufacturing Industry (《高端裝備製造業 「十二五」發展規劃》) and Special Twelfth Five-Year Plan for the Development of Intelligent Manufacturing Technology (《智能製造科技發展「十二五」專項 規劃》), the automation manufacturing equipment industry will generate sales revenue of more than RMB1,000 billion by 2015, with an average annual growth rate of over 25% and industrial added value rate of 35%. By 2020, the automation manufacturing equipment industry in the PRC will become a leading industry with international competitiveness, whose sales revenue will exceed RMB3,000 billion and automation will be realized throughout the manufacturing process. Meanwhile, production efficiency, technological level and quality of products will be remarkably enhanced, and consumption of energy and resources as well as emission of pollutants will be notably reduced.

There is huge demand in the automation manufacturing equipment market in the PRC; however, domestic enterprises are relatively underdeveloped in this technology-, talent- and capital-intensive industry, as their American, Japanese and European peers have long dominated the market of the related products. Since 1994 when obtaining the approval of the former State Economic and Trade Commission to establish the “national production technology development center”, the Company has long been engaged in the development, manufacturing and sales of industrial automation equipment, and possessed high-end core technologies in the sector of industrial robots and complete automation equipment in China.

FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS REPORT

APPENDIX III

2. Necessity of project construction and development prospect

The communications industry is a strategic, fundamental and leading industry which fully props up the economic and social development. Characterized by high technological threshold, strong penetration and notable guiding effect, the communication industry is a key driver of the transformation and upgrade of traditional industries, strategic adjustment to the economic structure, and enhancement of the state’s informatization level. According to the Decision of the State Council on Accelerating the Fostering and Development of Strategic Emerging Industries (《國務院關於加快培育和發展戰略性新興產業的決定》) and the Twelfth Five-Year Development Plan for the Communication Industry (《通信業「十二五」發展規劃》) promulgated by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the focus will be placed on furthering universal services in information communication and boosting capabilities in security and emergency guarantees.

The Company’s mobile satellite communications engineering research center is at the national level and the Company possesses strong research and development capabilities in respect of emergency satellite communications, satellite panel antenna communication systems and new-generation dedicated mobile communication systems. With the development of society and rising living conditions of the people, the need for communication guarantee in case of various emergencies has become increasingly urgent. Having been tested by a number of significant emergencies in recent years, the central government and local authorities at all levels have continuously stepped up efforts in construction of the emergency communication system, establishing provincial- and municipal-level emergency command platforms in civil air defense and public security, and achieving admirable effects, with promising market prospects.

The proceeds will be mainly used for such projects as emergency communication, satellite panel antenna communication systems and new-generation dedicated mobile communication systems. The implementation of the above projects will enable the Company to expand the production capacity of the above products, further strengthen its technological edges and rapidly increase market shares to pave the way for leapfrog development.

2. Necessity of project construction and development prospect

China is now in the process of large-scale urbanization. With fast-rising car ownerships, and increasing supply-and-demand imbalance in urban public transport, there is an increasingly urgent need for construction of railway transit. So far, there are 13 cities in total running railway transits, with length of railways in operation amounting to 1,677 kilometers and 1,102 operational stations. As of September 2012, 33 cities nationwide had urban railway projects under construction, involving a total length of 2,200 kilometers. On 5 September 2012, the National Development and Reform Commission revealed the feasibility reports on 13 railway lines, with aggregated length of 396.39 kilometers and approved investments of RMB250.496 billion. The said railway lines are expected to be fully completed by 2017, and contribute additional investments of RMB50 billion per year to railway transit construction.

— 60 —

FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS REPORT

APPENDIX III

It is projected that China will have an average of 25-35 railway transit projects in respect of the automatic fare collection (AFC) system, the ticket clearance management center (ACC) system, and communication system integration in the coming five years. After eight years of development in the railway transit industry, the Company possesses complete project implementation capabilities in respect of AFC systems, ACC systems and communications systems integration, with fully proprietary intellectual property rights to the AFC systems, ACC systems and relevant terminal equipment, and developed various product series to meet different user demands.

In recent years, with expanding business scale and rising contract reserves, the Company has seen its demand for subsequent investment substantially increase in order to consolidate its leading position in the market. The proceeds will be mainly used for the AFC systems, ACC systems and dedicated railway transit communication systems. The implementation of the above project will enable the Company to further expand its technological edges, gain larger market shares and strengthen its leading position in the industry.

3. Economic evaluation

According to the feasibility study report on the traffic electronic equipment industrialization project, the estimated annual profit growth of such project totals RMB44,502,000, with promising economic benefits.

4. Approvals relating to project initiation, land and environmental protection and the progress thereof

All the relevant procedures relating to the filing, environmental protection and land associated with the project are being applied for and handled.

APPENDIX III

(IV) R&D center project

Total investment: RMB209.96 million

Entity to implement the project: Technology Development Company

Project construction period: 24 months

Location for project implementation: Nanjing Economic and Technological Development Zone

Project construction objective: Upon completion, this project will be positioned as a technology, design and R&D center for high-end electronic equipment, which can provide strong technical support and guarantee for the Company to maintain its technological edge and achieve sustainable growth.

All the relevant procedures relating to the filing, land and environmental protection associated with the project are being applied for and handled.

This project, instead of generating direct economic benefits, can build up the Company’s R&D strength, consolidate technological resources, expand research domains, further boost the Company’s technological edge in the industry, enhance product quality and its comprehensive competitiveness, and serve as a driver for the continued growth and development of the Company.

(V) Supplementing working capital

The high-end electronic equipment industry in which the Company operates is technology-, talent- and capital-intensive in nature. So far, the Company has not engaged in equity financing activities since it raised funds through initial public offering in 1996. The Company funds its development mainly with its own accumulated profits and bank loans.

In recent years, the Company has been focused on the development of the high-end electronic equipment industry and achieved sustained and fast growth in principal businesses. With the expansion of business scales, the Company’s needs for capital to fund its day-to-day operation and development have also been growing. After the non-public issuance is completed, the production scales of the Company’s automation equipment, communication equipment and traffic electronic equipment businesses will be further expanded and market shares will be larger, leading to stronger capital needs in future.

— 62 —

FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS REPORT

APPENDIX III

To supplement the working capital with part of the proceeds will not only satisfy the Company’s capital needs to support the sustainable development of its principal activities, but will help lower the Company’s liquidity risk and strengthen its risk-resistant ability and competitiveness.

III. IMPACT OF THE NON-PUBLIC ISSUANCE ON THE COMPANY’S OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL SITUATIONS

(I) Impact on the Company’s operation and management

The proceeds from the fundraising will be used in the automation equipment industrialization project, communication equipment industrialization project, traffic electronic equipment industrialization project and R&D center project and to supplement working capital. The implementation of the project to be financed by the proceeds may further increase the Company’s production capacities and market shares in key regions, further expand the Company’s market influence, create new profit sources, enhance its technology development strengths, improve product quality and reduce production costs, which will in turn enhance the Company’s profitability and core competitiveness.

(II) Impact on the Company’s financial position

Upon receipt of the proceeds from the issuance, the Company’s net assets will increase and the gearing ratio will fall. As it takes time for the projects to be financed by the proceeds to be implemented, the Company’s return on net assets will be diluted during the construction period of such projects. After the projects commence production, favourable cash flow and profits will be generated, which will improve the Company’s financial structure and enhance the Company’s abilities to prevent financial risks and raise capital indirectly. Furthermore, supplementing the working capital will help strengthen the Company’s financial health and optimize its financial structure by directly improving the Company’s cash flow status and reducing finance expenses.
