LETTER FROM THE BOARD

LEASEBACK

The Vendor as tenant entered into the Tenancy Agreement dated 11 July 2007 with the Purchaser as landlord, pursuant to which the Vendor will lease back the Properties based on the following principal terms:

  • Term : Subject to the approval from Independent Shareholders, commencing from the day the Purchaser having obtained the title of the Properties by having the real estate title certificate concerning the Properties being issued in the name of the Purchaser, and ending on 31 December 2009.

  • Premises : Two factory buildings with a total gross floor area of 21,985.37 sq.m. erected on the Land. The Vendor may, upon giving one-month advance notice to the Purchaser, reduce the renting area.

  • Rental : RMB12 per sq.m., totaling RMB263,824 (equivalent to approximately HK$270,755) per month during the tenancy term.

The rent was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Vendor and the Purchaser with reference to the location and conditions of the Properties. As advised by the Valuer, the rental value is below the current market rent. In case the renting area is reduced, the rent shall be adjusted accordingly in proportion to the reduced renting area.

The Properties have been occupied by the Group as office and production base.

The Company intends to satisfy the rent payable under the Tenancy Agreement with internal resources of the Company. The rental may be subject to adjustment in case of the leased area has been reduced.

Conditions

The Tenancy Agreement shall be effective when both of the following conditions have been fulfilled: (1) the date of the Independent Shareholders’ approval on the Leaseback; and (2) the Purchaser having the real estate title certificate concerning the Properties being issued in the name of the Purchaser.

Annual Caps of the Tenancy Agreement

The annual caps for each of the financial years ended 31 December 2007, 2008, 2009 will be approximately RMB1,320,000, RMB3,166,000 and RMB3,166,000 respectively.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE DISPOSAL AND LEASEBACK

The Company intends to relocate its production base with a view to improve the logistic management within the factory zone and to enhance production efficiency.

After the Disposal, the Company plans to relocate its production base to the parcel of land at Hangcheng Industrial Park, Xinqiao Village, Danshui Town, Huiyang District, Guangdong Province, the PRC with a total area of approximately 220,000 sq.m. The parcel of land was acquired by the Group on 19 March 2007. The site where the land is situated has a well developed transport and road network which represents a significant advantage to the Group.

The Company intends to relocate its production base to the above site step by step and is planning to build new production facility at the above site. As the production facility at the above site is expected to be completed at the end of 2008, the Leaseback will allow the Group to maintain its production at the Properties for the time being. As the Purchaser agrees that the Group may reduce the renting area of the Properties during the term of the tenancy, it offers flexibility to the Group to relocate its production base by phases.

The terms of the S&P Agreement and the Tenancy Agreement were arrived at after arm’s length negotiation and are on normal commercial terms. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the S&P Agreement and the Tenancy Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

The Disposal constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules as the applicable percentage ratios for the Disposal is more than 5%. The Purchaser, OCT Properties, is a non-wholly owned subsidiary of OCT Group. OCT Group is the ultimate shareholder of 100% interest in OCT (HK) (OCT (HK) owns 100% equity interest in Pacific Climax Limited, which is the controlling shareholder of the Company). Thus, the Purchaser is a connected person of the Company within the meaning of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Disposal constitutes a connected transaction, and the Leaseback constitutes a continuing connected transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules. As the consideration of the Disposal is more than HK$10,000,000 and the applicable percentage ratios for the Disposal is more than 2.5%, the Disposal is subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules. Under the Tenancy Agreement, the aggregate annual rent payable by the Group to OCT Properties is approximately RMB3,166,000. As the applicable percentage ratio is, on annual basis, less than 2.5%, the Tenancy Agreement is not subject to Independent Shareholders’ approval requirement but are subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under the Listing Rules. However, as the Leaseback is resulting from the Disposal which is subject to, inter alia , the Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules, for the sake of prudence, the Company elects to voluntarily submit the Leaseback to the Independent Shareholders for their approval.

Pacific Climax Limited and its associates, which at the Latest Practicable Date held approximately 67.185% of the Company’s issued share capital, will abstain from voting on the resolutions to approve the Disposal and the Leaseback at the EGM.

INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE

The Independent Board Committee, comprising all of the independent non-executive Directors, has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Disposal and the Leaseback, and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

Having regard to the opinion of Hantec which is set out on pages 13 to 18 of this circular, the Independent Board Committee is of the opinion that the terms of the Disposal and the Leaseback are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and the Disposal and the Leaseback is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

To the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders

Dear Sirs,

DISCLOESABLE AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTION

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our engagement as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders on the Disposal and the Leaseback, details of which are contained in the Letter from the Board (the “ Letter from the Board ”) contained in the circular (the “ Circular ”) of the Company to the Shareholders dated 30 July 2007, of which this letter forms part. Terms used in this letter have the same meanings as defined in the Circular unless the context otherwise requires.

On 11 July 2007, the Vendor, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the S&P Agreement with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Vendor conditionally agreed to sell the Properties to the Purchaser at an aggregate consideration of RMB50,600,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$51,929,000). The Vendor and the Purchaser also entered into the Tenancy Agreement pursuant to which the Purchaser (as landlord) agrees to lease back the Properties to the Vendor (as tenant) at a monthly rental of approximately RMB263,824 (equivalent to approximately HK$270,755) for a fixed term up to 31 December 2009.

The Purchaser, OCT Properties, is a non-wholly owned subsidiary of OCT Group which is the ultimate shareholder of OCT (HK) (OCT (HK) owns 100% equity interest in Pacific Climax Limited, which is the controlling shareholder of the Company). Thus, the Purchaser is a connected person of the Company within the meaning of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Disposal constitutes a connected transaction, and the Leaseback constitutes continuing connected transactions for the Company under the Listing Rules. As the consideration of the

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Disposal is more than HK$10,000,000 and the applicable percentage ratios for the Disposal is more than 2.5%, the Disposal is subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules. Under the Tenancy Agreement, the aggregate annual rent payable by the Group to OCT Properties is approximately RMB3,166,000. As the applicable percentage ratio is, on annual basis, less than 2.5%, the Tenancy Agreement is not subject to Independent Shareholders’ approval requirement but are subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under the Listing Rules. However, as the Leaseback is resulting from the Disposal which is subject to, inter alia, the Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules, for the sake of prudence, the Company elects to voluntarily submit the Leaseback to the Independent Shareholders for their approval. Pacific Climax Limited and its associates will be required to abstain from voting on the resolutions to approve the Disposal and the Leaseback at the EGM.

The Independent Board Committee has been established to advise whether the terms of the Disposal and the Leaseback are fair and reasonable and whether the Disposal and the Leaseback are in the interests of the Company and its Independent Shareholders as a whole and to advise the Independent Shareholders on how to vote. The Independent Board Committee comprising Ms. Wong Wai Ling, Mr. Chen Xiangdong and Mr. Xiao Yongping, all being independent non-executive Directors, has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders in this respect.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We have not, however, carried out any independent verification of the information provided by the Directors and management of the Company, nor have we conducted an independent investigation into the business and affairs of the Group.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT

The principal factors and reasons that we have taken into consideration in assessing the terms of the S&P Agreement and the Tenancy Agreement and arriving at our opinion are set out as follows:

1. Background and reason for the Disposal and the Leaseback

As set out in the circular of the Company dated 10 April 2007, the Group acquired a parcel of land at Hangcheng Industrial Park, Xinqiao Village, Danshui Town, Huiyang District, Guangdong Province, the PRC with a total area of approximately 220,000 sq.m. (the “ Land ”) in order to facilitate the Group’s production expansion and the Group might consider to relocate the Group’s operation in Shenzhen to the new production base.

The Company plans to relocate its production base to the Land with a view to improve the logistic management within the factory zone and to enhance production efficiency. The site where the Land is situated has a well developed transport and road network which represents a significant advantage to the Group. In view of such relocation plan, the Directors consider that it is a good opportunity for the Group to dispose of the Properties.

The Company intends to relocate its production base to the Land step by step and is planning to build new production facility at the above site. As the production facility at the above site is expected to be completed at the end of 2008, the Leaseback will allow the Group to maintain its production at the Properties for the time being. As the Purchaser agrees that the Group may reduce the renting area of the Properties during the term of the tenancy, it offers flexibility to the Group to relocate its production base by phases.

In view of the above, the Disposal and the Leaseback is in line with the Group’s plan to relocate its operation in Shenzhen to the new production base in Huiyang District. We consider that the Disposal and the Leaseback are in line with the business development strategy of the Group and is in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

2. Terms of the Disposal

(a) Consideration

The consideration for the Disposal (the “ Disposal Consideration ”) is RMB50,600,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$51,929,000), which was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Vendor and the Purchaser with reference to the valuation of the Properties of RMB50,600,000 (equivalent to

– 15 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

approximately HK$51,929,000) as at 30 April 2007 (the “ Valuation ”) made by Savills Valuation and Professional Services Limited (“ Savills ”), an independent property valuer of the Group, which is set out in Appendix I to the Circular.

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Disposal Consideration, we have reviewed the Valuation and have discussed with Savills on the methodology adopted and assumptions used in arriving at the market value of the Properties as at 30 April 2007. Such a valuation equals to the Disposal Consideration. We understand that Savills has adopted direct comparison approach assuming sale in its existing state with the benefit of vacant possession and by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market. We have no reason to doubt the fairness and appropriateness of the methodology adopted and assumptions used by Savills in arriving at the Valuation.

In view that the Disposal Consideration equals to the Valuation, we consider that the Disposal Consideration is fair and reasonable so far as the Group and the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

(b) Payment terms

The Disposal Consideration shall be paid in cash by the Purchaser in the following manner:

  1. 50% of the Disposal Consideration shall be paid to the Vendor within 7 days from the date the S&P Agreement takes effect;

  2. the remaining 50% of the Disposal Consideration shall be paid within 7 days after completion of the procedures for the transfer of the Properties.

We consider it fair and reasonable that the balance of the Disposal Consideration will only be made upon completion of the procedures for the transfer of the Properties.

3. Terms of the Leaseback

(a) Rental

Under the Tenancy Agreement, the Group will have to pay monthly rental of approximately RMB263,824 or RMB12 per sq.m., payable in advance on the 5th day of each month during the tenancy term.

The rent was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Vendor and the Purchaser with reference to the location and condition of the Properties.

– 16 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Savills has reviewed the Tenancy Agreement and has confirmed that the rental payments by the Group to the Purchaser contemplated therein are below the market level under the current market condition. We understand from Savills that in providing their opinion on the market rental, they have conducted on-site visits to the Properties as well as market research on various premises in the locality of the Properties. The relatively low rent under the Tenancy Agreement indicates that the Group will lease the Properties at a favourable price from the Purchaser. As such, we consider that the rent under the Tenancy Agreement is on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable.

(b) Term

The term of the Tenancy Agreement will commence from the day after the Purchaser having obtained the title of the Properties by having the real estate title certificate concerning the Properties being issued in the name of the Purchaser, and ending on 31 December 2009. The Vendor may, upon giving one-month advance notice to the Purchaser, reduce the renting area. As the production facility at the Land is under construction and expected to be completed at the end of 2008, we consider that having a term ending a year later than the end of 2008 is in the interest of the Group to allow time for the relocation of the production facilities while at the same time, the term for the reduction of the renting area as mentioned above allows flexibility to the Group in case the Group’s needs of rental area in the Properties reduce as a result of the completion of construction of the production facility in Huiyang District.

(c) Annual caps

The annual cap for the Tenancy Agreement for each of the financial year ended 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 will be approximately RMB1,320,000, RMB3,166,000 and RMB3,166,000 respectively. The annual caps are determined by reference to the aggregate annual rent payable by the Group to OCT Properties under the Tenancy Agreement. For the annual cap for the financial year ended 31 December 2007, it is assumed that the Tenancy Agreement will come into force from 1 August 2007. According to the Company, it is expected that the Independent Shareholders’ approval on the Disposal and the Leaseback can be obtained and the Purchaser will obtain the title of the Properties in August 2007 and therefore, the term of the Tenancy Agreement will commence from August 2007. The annual caps for the three years ended 31 December 2009 represented rental payable under the Tenancy Agreement for 5 months, one year and one year. Since the annual cap for each of the three years ended 31 December 2009 is reached at the applicable rental under the Tenancy Agreement, which in turn is comparable to market level in the locality and are fair and reasonable as discussed above, we are of the view that the annual caps for the Tenancy Agreement are fair and reasonable.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

4. Financial effect of the Disposal on the Group

  • (a) Earnings

According to the audited accounts of the Group, the net book value of the Properties was approximately RMB13.9 million as at 31 December 2006. Accordingly, the Disposal at the consideration of RMB50.6 million will give rise to a gain of approximately RMB36.7 million (before tax and expenses) for the Group.

  • (b) Net asset value

As at 31 December 2006, the Group had an audited net assets of approximately RMB337.9 million. In view of the gain on disposal of approximately RMB36.7 million (before tax and expenses) mentioned above, the net asset value of the Group would have been increased by the same amount, representing an increase of approximately 10.9%.

  • (c) Cash position and gearing ratio

As set out in the annual report of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2006, the cash at bank of the Group was approximately RMB172.2 million. The net proceeds from the Disposal (after deducting tax and expenses of approximately RMB16.4 million) of approximately RMB34.2 million, which will be used as general working capital, will increase the cash at bank by approximately 19.9%. The Group had total borrowings of approximately RMB70.2 million as at 31 December 2006, representing a gearing ratio (defined as total borrowings over total assets) of approximately 11.3%. Since the net proceeds from the Disposal is higher than the book value of the Properties, the total asset value will increase by approximately RMB20.3 million and accordingly, the gearing ratio will show a decrease after the Disposal.

RECOMMENDATION

Having taken into account the principal factors and reasons referred to the above, we are of the opinion that the terms of the Disposal and the Leaseback are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and the Disposal and the Leaseback are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. We therefore advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Disposal and the Leaseback.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of

Hantec Capital Limited Kinson Li

Director

Dear Sirs,

In accordance with your instructions for us to value the property held by Huali Holdings (Group) Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the “Group”) in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), we confirm that we have carried out an inspection, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of value of the property as at 30 April 2007 for the purpose of disposal.

Our valuation of the property is our opinion of its market value 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”.

APPENDIX I

VALUATION REPORT

The market value is the best price reasonably obtainable in the market by the seller and the most advantageous price reasonably obtainable in the market by the buyer. This estimate specifically excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by specifically terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangements, joint ventures, management agreements, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value. The market value of a property is also estimated without regard to costs of sale and purchase, and without offset for any associated taxes.

We have valued the property by using the direct comparison approach by making reference to the comparable market transactions as available in the market assuming sales with the benefit of immediate vacant possession.

We have been provided with copies of title documents relating to the property, such as Real Estate Title Certificate. However, we have not inspected the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain the existence of any amendments which do not appear on the copies handed to us. In the course of our valuation, we have relied to a considerable extent on the information given by the Group and its PRC legal advisers, Win & Sun Law Firm, regarding the title to the property held by the Group.

We have relied to a considerable extent on information given by the Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, particulars of occupancy, floor areas and all other relevant matters. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificate are based on information contained in the documents provided to us and are therefore only approximations. We have not been able to carry out on-site measurements to verify the correctness of the floor areas of the property and have assumed that the floor areas shown on the documents handed to us are correct. We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Group which is material to our valuation. We have also sought confirmation from you that no material facts have been omitted from the information supplied.

We have inspected the exterior and where possible, the interior of the property. In the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. Moreover, no structural survey has been made, we are therefore not able to report that the property is 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 nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that all the property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect its value.
