Profit Forecast Requirements under the Takeovers Code and the Listing Rules

Beijing Pan-China Assets Appraisal Company Limited (the “ Valuer ”) was engaged by the Company to conduct valuation of the Target Companies for the purpose of the Proposed Acquisitions. The valuation of each of the Target Companies was prepared by the Valuer based on income approach (the “ Valuation ”). Pursuant to Rule 14.61 of the Listing Rules and Rule 11.1(a) of the Takeovers Code, any valuation of assets (other than land and buildings) acquired by a listed issuer based on discounted cash flows or projections of profits, earnings or cash flows will normally be regarded as a profit forecast. Accordingly, the Valuation constitutes a profit forecast under Rule 14.61 of the Listing Rules and Rule 11.1(a) of the Takeovers Code (the “ Profit Forecast ”), and therefore, the Company is required to comply with Rules 14.60A and 14.62 of the Listing Rules and Rules 10 and 11 of the Takeovers Code.

Pursuant to Rules 14.60A and 14.62 of the Listing Rules and Rule 10 of the Takeovers Code, financial advisers must satisfy themselves that the forecast has been prepared by the directors with due care and consideration, and auditors or reporting accountants must satisfy themselves that the forecast, so far as the accounting policies and calculations are concerned, has been properly compiled on the basis of the assumptions made.

For the purpose of complying with the requirements under Rule 14.62 of the Listing Rules and Rule 10 of the Takeovers Code, the Profit Forecast has been reported on in accordance with the Listing Rules and the Takeovers Code and the requisite reports from WUYIGE Certified Public Accountants LLP (“ WUYIGE ”), the auditor of the Company, and Veda Capital Limited (“ Veda Capital ”), the financial adviser of the Company, have been lodged with the Stock Exchange and the Executive and included in Appendix II to this announcement.

The following are the principal assumptions, including commercial assumptions of the Valuation, prepared by the Directors, endorsed by the Valuer and reviewed by WUYIGE and Veda Capital pursuant to Rule 10.2 of the Takeovers Code, and set out in the valuation reports summary set forth as Appendices I(A) to (C) to this announcement.

Assumptions of Valuation

  • (I) General assumptions:

  • Transaction assumption: all assets to be valued are assumed to be in the transaction process and valuers conduct the valuation according to simulated market conditions such as transaction conditions of the assets to be valued.

– 11 –

  1. Open market assumption: open market assumption is an assumption about conditions of a market into which assets are proposed to be entered and effects of such market conditions on assets. An open market means a well-developed, comprehensive and competitive market with willing buyers and willing sellers acting voluntarily and rationally at arms’ length, having sufficient opportunities and time to obtain market information and under no compulsion or restrictions to buy or sell.

  2. Continuous use assumption: continuous use assumption is an assumption made on the conditions of the market where the assets are intended to enter into as well as the status of the assets in such market conditions. It is first assumed that the assets to be appraised are in use, and it is further assumed that the assets that are in use will be used continuously. Under continuous use assumption, no consideration is given to the conversion of the use of the assets or utilisation of the assets under the best condition. Thus, the valuation results are subject to a restricted scope of applicability.

  3. Going concern assumption: it is an assumption made by taking the whole assets of an enterprise as the appraised entity. In this way, the enterprise operates continually in pursuit of its operation objective under its external environment as the main operating entity. The management of the enterprise is responsible for and capable of taking responsibility. The enterprise operates legally and makes appropriate profits to maintain the capability of going concern.

  4. (II) Valuation assumptions under the income approach:

  5. There is no significant change in the relevant existing laws, regulations and policies of the country, or in the macroeconomic conditions of the country. There is no significant change in the political, economic and social environment in which the parties to this transaction are situated, and there are no material adverse impacts arising from other unforeseeable factors or force majeure.

  6. Assuming the company to operate as a going concern based on the actual status of the assets as at the valuation base date.

  7. Assuming the management of the company to be responsible and have the capability to take on their duties.

  8. Assuming the company to comply with all related laws and regulations unless otherwise stated.

  9. Assuming the accounting policy to be adopted by the company in the future to be fundamentally consistent in all material aspects with the one adopted when compiling the valuation report.

– 12 –

  1. Assuming the company to maintain the existing business scope and mode on the basis of the present management mode and level.

  2. There will be no material changes to the interest rates, exchange rates, tax bases, tax rates and policy charges.

  3. There will be no material adverse impacts on the enterprise arising from other force majeure or unforeseeable factors.

  4. Assuming the estimated annual cash flows of the company to be generated during the period.

  5. Assuming the products and services of the enterprise maintain existing competitive status in the market subsequent to the valuation base date.

  6. 11 Hefei New Energy obtained the high and new technology enterprise qualification certificate (高新技術企業資格證書) on 5 December 2016 for a validity period of three years. It is assumed that Hefei New Energy will continue to obtain such certificate upon expiry of the validity period.

  7. Assuming the “Notice on “1+3+8” Policy System (Trial) for Fostering Industry Development in Tongcheng issued by the Tongcheng Municipal People’s Government (桐城市人民政府關於印發桐城市 扶持產業發展「1+3+8」政策體系(試行)的通知)” (Tong Zheng Fa [2016] No. 42) in the file of the Tongcheng Municipal People’s Government and its policy for refund of land use tax will continue to be in force, Tongcheng New Energy is able to enjoy the refund of land use tax on a perpetual basis.

WUYIGE has reviewed the accounting policies and calculations adopted in arriving at the Valuation and is of the opinion that, so far as the accounting policies and calculations are concerned, the Valuation has been properly compiled in accordance with the assumptions made by the Directors set out above and is presented on a basis consistent in all material respects with the accounting policies adopted in preparing the financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2016.

– 13 –

The Valuation has been prepared by the Valuer. The Valuer has reviewed the financial information of the respective Target Companies as of May 2017 provided by the auditor, the explanatory materials and forecast information of the respective Target Companies, and obtained confirmation from the respective Target Companies on realization of the forecast operating information, and confirms that there was no material change in the assumptions, basis, accounting policies and methods of the Valuation adopted in the valuation reports during the period from 31 October 2016 to 31 May 2017. Accordingly, there was no material change in the appraised value of the respective Target Companies as at 31 May 2017 as compared to those set out in the valuation reports. The Valuer will also review the then current valuation of the respective Target Companies or may update the valuation in accordance with Rule 11.4 of the Takeovers Code in the circular to be despatched to the Shareholders.

The Valuation has also been reported on by Veda Capital in accordance with Rule 11.1(b) of the Takeovers Code. On the basis of the review work conducted by it which includes reasonableness checks to assess the relevant experience and expertise of the Valuer, review and discussion with the Valuer of the qualifications, experience, expertise and relevant track records of the Valuer, Veda Capital is satisfied that the Valuer has the qualifications and experience to compile the Valuation.

Veda Capital has reviewed the reports of the Valuation and discussed with the Directors, the management of the Company and the Valuer regarding the reports of the Valuation, including, in particular, the valuation approach, basis and assumptions. On the basis of the aforesaid work done by Veda Capital, Veda Capital is of the opinion that the basis and assumptions set out therein have been prepared by the Directors with due care and consideration and objectivity, and on a reasonable basis.

A letter from WUYIGE and a letter from Veda Capital are included in Appendix II to this announcement for the purpose of Rule 14.62 of the Listing Rules.

V. VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

(I) General assumptions:

  1. Transaction assumption: all assets to be valued are assumed to be in the transaction process and valuers conduct the valuation according to simulated market conditions such as transaction conditions of the assets to be valued.

  2. Open market assumption: open market assumption is an assumption about conditions of a market into which assets are proposed to be entered and effects of such market conditions on assets. An open market means a well-developed, comprehensive and competitive market with willing buyers and willing sellers acting voluntarily and rationally at arms’ length, having sufficient opportunities and time to obtain market information and under no compulsion or restrictions to buy or sell.

  3. Continuous use assumption: continuous use assumption is an assumption made on the conditions of the market where the assets are intended to enter into as well as the status of the assets in such market conditions. It is first assumed that the assets to be appraised are in use, and it is further assumed that the assets that are in use will be used continuously. Under continuous use assumption, no consideration is given to the conversion of the use of the assets or utilisation of the assets under the best condition. Thus, the valuation results are subject to a restricted scope of applicability.

  4. Going concern assumption: it is an assumption made by taking the whole assets of an enterprise as the appraised entity. In this way, the enterprise operates continually in pursuit of its operation objective under its external environment as the main operating entity. The management of the enterprise is responsible for and capable of taking responsibility. The enterprise operates legally and makes appropriate profits to maintain the capability of going concern.

– 19 –

(II) Valuation assumptions under the income approach:

  1. There is no significant change in the relevant existing laws, regulations and policies of the country, or in the macroeconomic conditions of the country. There is no significant change in the political, economic and social environment in which the parties to this transaction are situated, and there are no material adverse impacts arising from other unforeseeable factors or force majeure.

  2. Assuming the company to operate as a going concern based on the actual status of the assets as at the valuation base date.

  3. Assuming the management of the company to be responsible and have the capability to take on their duties.

  4. Assuming the company to comply with all related laws and regulations unless otherwise stated.

  5. Assuming the accounting policy to be adopted by the company in the future to be fundamentally consistent in all material aspects with the one adopted when compiling the valuation report.

VI. VALUATION METHOD

(I) Selection of valuation methods

The asset-based approach is the valuation method by which the value of the appraised entity is determined by reasonably assessing the values of every assets and liabilities items, both on and off balance sheet, on the basis of the balance sheet. Taking into account the circumstances of this valuation, the appraised entity can provide and the valuers can collect externally the information required by the asset-based approach, so that thorough investigation and valuation can be conducted on the assets and liabilities of the appraised entity. Therefore, the asset-based approach is applicable to this valuation.

The income approach is based on the expected utility theory of economics. In other words, from the perspective of the investors, the enterprise value lies in the future income expected to be generated for the enterprise. Despite the absence of the direct use of comparable in the actual market for stating the prevailing fair market value of the appraised entity, the income approach assesses the value of an asset by its expected profitability, which is the essential basis for determining the prevailing fair market value of the asset. As such, it can completely reflect the overall value of an enterprise and its valuation conclusion is more reliable and convincing. From the perspective of applicable conditions of the income approach, since the enterprise is profitable in its own right and the management of the appraised entity has provided the profit forecast for the future years, according to the historical operating data of the enterprise and the internal and external operating environment, the future level of profit of the enterprise can be reasonably forecasted. In addition, the risk of future income can be reasonably quantified. Therefore, the income approach has been adopted in this valuation.

The market approach determines the prevailing fair market value of the appraised entity by referring to comparables in the market. This approach is direct in terms of valuation perspective and valuation methods, and the valuation process is intuitive. The data for the valuation is from market, making the result convincing. Given the lack of a fully-developed and active capital market in China, it is difficult to accurately quantify and rectify the degree of similarity between the comparable listed companies and the transaction cases with the appraised entity. As such, the accuracy of the result of valuation under the market approach is difficult to be measured in a precise manner. Further, valuation under the market approach is based on one point of time on the valuation reference date in the capital market, without regard to the cyclical fluctuation of the market. As such, the market approach is not adopted for this valuation.

Accordingly, the asset-based approach and the income approach have been selected for this valuation.

(II) Introduction of the Specific Valuation Methods

I) Asset-based Approach

The asset-based approach, which is a method for appraising enterprise values, refers to the method for determining the value of the appraised entity based on the reasonable valuation of the value of assets and liabilities of an enterprise on the basis of the balance sheet of the appraised entity as of the valuation base date. The process of valuation of different types of assets and liabilities is as follows:

1. Valuation of Current Assets and Liabilities

Current assets of the appraised entity include cash and cash equivalent, notes receivable, accounts receivable, prepayments, other receivables, inventories, and other current assets; while liabilities include current liabilities and non-current liabilities, current liabilities include short term borrowings, notes payable, accounts payable, receipts in advance, staff remuneration payable, tax payable, interest payable, other payables and non-current liabilities due within one year, and non-current liabilities include long-term borrowings.

  • (1) cash and cash equivalent: it includes cash on hand, bank deposits and other cash equivalent. The appraised value of which was determined as the verified book value which was arrived at after checking cash inventory and the verification of bank reconciliation statements, bank confirmations, and other proofs of cash and bank balances. Funds denominated in foreign currencies are translated into RMB at the exchange rate by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange as at the valuation base date.

  • (2) Notes receivable: notes receivable refer to the bankers’ acceptance received by enterprises for selling products or rendering services, etc. All notes receivable in the scope of valuation are bankers’ acceptance (or include bankers’ acceptance and commercial acceptance). For notes receivable, the valuer checked the book records and the register of notes receivable, and took inventories of and verified the notes receivable. Corresponding sales contracts and delivery orders (shipping orders) as well as other original records were also checked for certain notes receivable of large amount. The appraised value was then determined at the verified book value after verification.

– 22 –

  • (3) Accounts receivable and other receivables: the appraised value shall be determined based on the recoverable amount of each account receivable provided that the amount of each of the accounts receivable is duly verified. If there is a good reason to believe that all the amount can be recovered, the appraised value shall be calculated at the total amount of all accounts receivable; for the partial amount which is probably irrecoverable, in the event that it is difficult to confirm the amount of irrecoverable receivables, historical information and on-site investigation are used to provide details of the situation, specifically analyze the amount, time and reasons of loans, recovery of the amounts, as well as the debtor’s capital, credit and current situation of operating management to estimate the partial amount which is probably irrecoverable in accordance with the aging analysis method as the appraised value calculated after deduction of the loss from risk; with regard to those which have conclusive evidences proving that the receivable cannot be recovered, the appraised value will be nil.

  • (4) Prepayments: the appraised value shall be determined based on the value of assets or rights from corresponding goods that can be recovered. For recoverable goods or rights, the verified book value is taken as the appraised value.

  • (5) Inventories:

Purchased inventories: refer to raw materials. Its appraised value shall be calculated by adding the prevailing market prices with reasonable freight and miscellaneous charges, then deducting relevant wear and tear. The purchase date of the raw materials and those materials in transit at the warehouse included in this valuation is close to the valuation base date with slight movements in prices. Thus, the verified book value is taken as the appraised value in this valuation.

Finished goods: valuation methods applicable for finished goods include cost approach and market approach, whereas the market approach was adopted in this valuation. By market method, finished goods are valued by reference to their total costs plus the likely amount of profits to be arising from their sales, or the finished goods are valued below cost, depending on the market conditions of the particular finished goods. For fast moving products, appraised values were determined according to their factory selling price less

– 23 –

operating expenses and all taxes; for products with normal sales, appraised values were determined according to their factory selling price less operating expenses, all taxes and appropriate amounts of net profit after tax; for products with poor marketability, appraised values are determined according to their factory selling price less operating expenses, all taxes and net profit after tax.

Goods in process: for the goods in process and semi-finished goods with a lower degree of finishing, the verified book value is taken as the appraised value given the short time inputs in terms of labor and material expenses as well as the slight change in value.

  • (6) Other current assets: refer to the input tax amount to be deducted. On the basis of verifying correctness conducted by the valuers, the book value after verification is recognised as the appraised value.

  • (7) Liabilities: the appraised value of liabilities shall be determined based on the liability items and amounts actually to be assumed by the appraised entities (realized based on the valuation purpose) provided that such liabilities were duly checked and verified.

2. Valuation of buildings and structures

Given the specific purpose of this valuation and the characteristics of each building to be valued, the cost method was adopted for valuation of building assets based on their different functions, structural characteristics and nature of use.

Appraised value = full replacement price (tax exclusive) × newness rate

  • (1) Full replacement price (tax exclusive)

Full replacement = construction and installation cost + price (tax preliminary cost and other cost + capital exclusive) cost – value-added tax deductible

  • A. Construction and installation cost

As for buildings and structures with higher value, the valuers select typical projects in accordance with the specific conditions of the appraised buildings and collect information

– 24 –

including final account for completion, completion acceptance, and construction drawings of the typical projects to verify the construction workload. Cost of civil projects and various installation costs, and in turn the total construction and installation cost are calculated under the local quota standard and relevant charging document. The construction and installation cost for low-valued and simple buildings and structures is calculated by the per-square-meter cost method. For buildings lacking final accounts for completion or other information, the construction and installation cost is calculated through the re-budgeting method or the simulation approach to adjust and confirm the direct expenses. The construction cost of each of the major and typical buildings as at valuation base date is calculated in accordance with the quota and relevant charging standards in the project budget report issued by Bengbu Design & Research Institute for Glass Industry* (蚌埠玻璃工業設計 研究院), 2009 Pricing Quota and Consolidated Unit Price for “Construction, Decoration and Installation Project of Anhui Province (Commonly-Used Handbook)” (2009“安徽 省建築、裝飾裝修工程及安裝工程(常用冊)” 計價定額綜 合單價), Notice on the Adjustment of the Prevailing Basis of Computing Prices in Anhui Province to Implement Valueadded Tax and to Replace Business Tax in the Construction Industry (關於建築業營業稅改增值稅調整我省現行計依 據的通知) (Jian Biao [2016] No. 67), Zao Jia [2016] No. 11 Implementation Opinion on the Adjustment of the Prevailing Basis of Computing Prices to Implement Value-added Tax and to Replace Business Tax (關於營業稅改徵增值稅調 整現行計價依據的實施意見) issued by Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of Anhui Province and Information on Construction Project Cost of Hefei (合肥 市建設工程造價信息) on the valuation base date as well as the price adjustment documents and market price of various materials.

  • B. Preliminary cost and construction-related expenses

Preliminary cost and other cost include management cost of the contractor, cost of feasibility research, cost of engineering investigation and design and cost of construction supervision. Preliminary cost and other cost are determined in accordance with industrial standards and the charging regulation of the relevant national authorities.

– 25 –

C. Capital cost

Capital cost: capital cost refers to the loan interest of the construction investment during the construction period, interest rate adopted in the calculation is the interest rate released by the People’s Bank of China on the valuation base date and a construction period is based on the normal work cycles, assuming capital will be equally injected:

= Capital cost (construction and installation cost + preliminary cost and other cost) × reasonable construction period × loan interest × 50%

D. Value-added tax deductible

The value-added tax valuation method was adopted for calculation of the construction and installation cost of buildings to be valuated, the corresponding value-added tax deductible was calculated at the rate of 11%; for preliminary cost (other than management cost of the contractor which are not deductible), the value-added tax deductible will be calculated at the rate of 6%.

Value-added tax = total construction and installation deductible cost/1.11 × 11% + preliminary cost (other than management cost of the contractor)/1.06 × 6%

(2) Determination of Newness rate

The method used to calculate the newness rate of buildings and structures varies with their types and value. For important and high-valued buildings and structures, the calculation adopts the comprehensive newness rate approach which uses both the inspected newness rate and the theoretical newness rate for calculation. The comprehensive newness rate is the weighted average of the two results. For common buildings and structures, life-based method is used and adjustment will be made depending on the specific inspection situation.

Calculation formula:

Newness rate = inspected newness rate × 0.6 + theoretical newness rate × 0.4

– 26 –

Inspected newness rate

There are three major factors that can affect the newness rate of a building (structure, decoration and equipment). A standard score is given to each factor based on its impact on the construction cost of the buildings and structures. Separate score based on inspection conditions are used to calculate the inspected newness rate.

Calculation of theoretical newness rate

Theoretical = (1 – life in use/economic useful life) × newness rate 100%

  • (3) Determination of appraised value

= Appraised value full replacement price (tax exclusive) × newness rate

3. Valuation of assets in the equipment class

Valuation of machineries and equipment mainly adopts the cost method, which is used to determine the appraised value of machineries and equipment through estimating the updated replacement cost of brand new machineries and equipment, with the deduction of the actual depreciation, functional depreciation, and economic depreciation on the basis of its determined comprehensive newness rate. The calculation formula adopted in the valuation is as follows:

= Appraised value full replacement value × newness rate

In which: replacement value of equipment generally consists of all reasonable direct and indirect costs required for repurchasing or constructing brand new assets of the same functions with the appraised entity, such as purchase price, transportation and miscellaneous cost, equipment foundation cost, installation and testing cost, preliminary cost and other cost as well as capital cost.

– 27 –

Pursuant to the “Provisional Regulations of the PRC on Value-Added Tax (中華人民共和國增值稅暫行條例)” (Order No. 538 of the State Council of the PRC), starting from 1 January 2009, companies in relevant industries shall adopt consumption value-added tax system to replace production value-added tax system. Under the new system, value-added tax contained in the fixed assets purchased by a company will be deductible in the incremental value-added tax paid for the sale of the company’s products or can be carried forward to next year if not deductible in current year. Therefore, the full replacement price is calculated based on the tax exclusive price in this valuation.

  • (1) Determination of full replacement price

  • A. Self-made equipment and non-standard equipment

The full replacement price of equipment is determined in accordance with the information of original construction project and finance settlement, and based on the raw materials cost, equipment cost, tools and spare parts cost on the base date, current labor cost price, specialized production cost as well as the corresponding capital cost, tax and profit.

B. Equipment purchased

The full replacement price of equipment with higher value mainly includes purchase price of equipment (tax exclusive) (prevailing price of non-standard equipment), transportation and miscellaneous cost, installation and testing cost and capital cost; for general equipment with lower value and transportation cost and not requiring installation, the full replacement price is determined by reference to the prevailing market purchase price or prevailing price of non-standard equipment.

  • a. Determination of purchase price of equipment

Purchase price of equipment is mainly determined by making inquiries to manufacturers or trading companies, or by reference to the “2016 Quotations Catalog for Electromechanical Products (2016年機電產品報價目 錄)” and other price information, as well as the recent contract price for similar equipment. For the equipment whose purchase price is not available, the purchase price is calculated using the change rate of price of equipment of the same type in the same year.

– 28 –

  • b. Determination of transportation and miscellaneous cost

Transportation and miscellaneous cost of equipment includes loading and unloading fee, transportation fee, custody fee, insurance fee and other related fees incurred from the place of delivery to the installation site of the equipment, including short-distance transportation fee for shipping equipment to railway stations and docks. Transportation fee with actual calculation basis are determined according to the actual basis or are otherwise determined based on the purchase price of equipment (tax exclusive) by reference to the “Manual of Data and Parameters Commonly Used in Assets Valuation (資產評估常用數據與參數手冊)”. If the supplier is responsible for transportation (included in the purchase price) according to the delivery conditions, the transportation and miscellaneous cost shall not be considered.

  • c. Determination of installation and testing cost

Installation and testing cost include fees incurred in post-processing of equipment foundation, and installation and testing. According to the equipment characteristics and industry practices of the appraised entity, the installation and testing cost is determined by reference to the “Manual of Data and Parameters Commonly Used in Assets Valuation (資產評估常用 數據與參數手冊)”; For small-sized equipment not requiring installation, the installation and testing cost shall not be considered.

  • d. Other costs of project construction

Other costs of the project construction consist of management cost of the contractor, construction supervision cost, environmental appraisal cost, project proposal cost and feasibility research cost, investigation and design cost, agent service cost for bidding and joint trial operation cost.

– 29 –

e. Capital cost

= Capital cost equipment replacement costs × reasonable construction period (year) × loan interest rate per annum × 1/2

According to scale of installed capacity of this project, the reasonable construction period is determined as two years.

C. Vehicles

The prices of vehicles as at the valuation base date are determined by making reference to recent vehicle market price information including market and online information on vehicles. On such basis, capitalized expenses including vehicle purchase tax and license fees will be calculated according to the “Interim Regulations on purchase tax of vehicles of the People’s Republic of China (中華人民共和 國車輛購置稅暫行條例)” and the provisions of the relevant local departments, in order to determine the replacement costs:

Replacement cost

  • = current purchase price (tax exclusive) + vehicle purchase tax + license fees

  • = Current purchase price (tax inclusive)/(1+17%) × (1+10%) + license fees

Where: 10% represents the tax rate of vehicle purchase tax, and 17% represents the tax rate of value-added tax (VAT).

  • ① Determination of vehicle purchase price: The determination is made by making reference to the market prices of the latest transactions of comparable models of vehicles in places where the vehicles are located. Other costs are determined in accordance with the standards for fees charged by the management department of vehicles.

– 30 –

  • ② D e t e r m i n a t i o n o f v e h i c l e p u r c h a s e t a x : T h e determination is made according to the relevant provisions of the Notice of the State Administration of Taxation, Ministry of Finance and People’s Bank of China on Relevant Issues Concerning the Administration of Collection of Vehicle Purchase Tax (國家稅務總局 財政部中國人民銀行關於車輛購置稅徵繳管理有關問 題的通知) (Guo Shui Fa [2009] No. 127).

= Vehicle purchase tax taxable price × 10%

Of which the taxable price does not include VAT price.

  • ③ Determination of license fees: The determination is made according to the relevant provisions of the places where the vehicles are located, and on the basis of the substance and amount of such expenses.

Some vehicles are valuated using the market approach. For very old vehicles or vehicles of out-of-production models, and those irreplaceable models, the appraised value is determined by making reference to recent second-hand vehicle market quotations and prices.

  • (2) Valuation of newness rate

The comprehensive newness rate is appraised by way of the technically assessed grading approach in combination with the theoretical newness rate determined using service life approach.

  • A. Major production equipment and large-scale equipment

Newness rate = (economic service life – serviced life)/ determined economic service life × 100% using service life approach

– 31 –

Newness rate determined using on-site inspection approach: The newness rate is determined by conducting the on-site inspection of various components of the equipment by the valuers and appraising each part of the equipment.

  • Newness rate = newness rate under the service life approach × 40% + newness rate under the technically assessed approach × 60%

  • B. The theoretical newness rate for ancillary equipment and electronic equipment with lower value is mainly determined using the service life approach, based on which adjustments are then made according to the utilization rate, loading, maintenance and service as well as original manufacturing quality of the equipment.

Theoretical = (economic service life – serviced life)/ newness rate economic service life × 100%

  • C. Vehicles

In accordance with the Provisions on the Standards for Compulsory Retirement of Motor Vehicles (機動車強制報廢 標準規定) with effect from 1 May 2013, some motor vehicles are subject to compulsory retirement standards in service life and recommended retirement standards in driving mileage, while the compulsory retirement regulation in service life was cancelled for certain motor vehicles, for which there is no limitation on service life.

Vehicles have economic service life as impacted by vehicle emission environmental policy, together with the gradually increased maintenance costs in the later period of their service life. The newness rate adopted in the valuation of vehicles is the lower of the newness rate under the service life approach and mileage-based newness rate calculated based on the specified driving mileage.

Newness rate = (1 – serviced life ÷ economic service under the life) × 100% service life approach

– 32 –

Mileage-based = (1 – mileage travelled ÷ mandatory
newness rate driving mileage) × 100%
Newness rate = Min (Newness rate under the service
life approach, Mileage-based newness
rate)

Finally, the newness rate is adjusted in consideration of the conditions such as the appearance, overall structure, engine structure, circuit system, braking performance and exhaust emission of the vehicles upon on-site inspection.

4. Valuation of the project under construction

Within the scope of the valuation, the cost approach was adopted as the valuation method of the project under construction. In terms of the project under construction which is undergoing normal construction and has not been completed, the enterprise shall make payment according to the progress of the project and the terms of contracts. Upon investigation and verification of the project’s image progress and provided that the reasonableness of the project budget is confirmed, the appraised value is determined by the verified and adjusted book value plus the re-measured cost of capital. The financing cost (interest) and other costs included in the book value are appraised as zero.

Calculation formula:

= Appraised value book value × comprehensive adjustment coefficient + re-measured cost of capital

5. Valuation of land use right

The approach applicable for valuation of the land use right of the valuation target is selected upon analysis according to the features and specific conditions of the valuation target and actual conditions of the project, in accordance with the “Regulations for Valuation of Urban Lands (城鎮土地估價規程)” and in view of the land market in the regions where the valuation target is located and the relevant information gathered by the land valuers.

If the valuation target is for industrial purpose, the standard floorprice coefficient correction approach, market comparison approach and cost approximation approach can be adopted for valuation, while the residual approach and income approach are not suitable.

– 33 –

As the benchmark land premium of the land parcel entrusted for valuation was published earlier, it is not suitable for adoption of standard floor-price coefficient correction approach in the valuation.

As there are recent transaction cases in the market of the region where the land parcel entrusted for valuation is located, the market comparison approach can be adopted for valuation.

As the parameters such as land expropriation compensation standard and relevant tax standard in the region where the land parcel entrusted for valuation is located, are available, the cost approximation approach can be adopted for valuation.

In view of the above, the market comparison approach and cost approximation approach are adopted for the valuation.

6. Valuation of other intangible assets

The valuation methods for patented technology mainly include the market approach, cost approach and income approach.

The market approach is a common and effective method for countries and regions with relatively developed technological and capital markets. Under this valuation method, the same or similar patented and proprietary technologies in the market are selected as references, and comparison and adjustment are made in relation to the price difference between the patented and proprietary technologies with the references through stimulation taken into account of various factors affecting the value such as the functions of the patented and proprietary technologies. By analyzing the results of various adjustments, the value of the patented and proprietary technologies was determined.

The market approach is used to valuate patented and proprietary technologies on the condition that the relatively public market data and the comparable references are available, and such references have clear influential factors on value which can be quantified. Functional simulation method is largely used in the market approach. As China’s patented and proprietary technologies market is still under development at present, the environment for protection of such technologies is also less regulated. Meanwhile, the piracies of products based on patented and proprietary technologies make it relatively difficult to collect fair transaction data of such products. Therefore, it is rather difficult to apply the market approach in the valuation of patented and proprietary technologies in China at present.

– 34 –

The cost approach is the most mature method to valuate the value of patented and proprietary technologies application. As there is no explicit socialized market for self-use patented and proprietary technologies within some enterprises and industry or their market capacity or demand is low, it is usually difficult to determine the value of products based on the patented and proprietary technologies by reference to the sale of such products (the revenue of products based on the dedicated or self-use patented and proprietary technologies are mostly implied in the overall benefits of the enterprise or industry). Therefore, the adoption of cost approach for valuation is relatively objective and feasible. In addition, for products based on patented and proprietary technologies which have not been launched on the market, the adoption of cost approach for valuation is more persuasive. To give less consideration of the creative value of products based on patented and proprietary technologies is the disadvantage of cost approach. Therefore, the accuracy of forecast about the maintenance cost of such products will have certain effect on the value of patented and proprietary technologies.

The present earning value approach is the most common method for the valuation of technological intangible assets. As the technological development itself is the investment for the future and its value is finally presented by the future return. The key of present earning value approach is to define the future earnings generated from the technology entrusted for valuation, which is usually conducted through earning sharing approach. In the application of earning sharing approach, there are two kinds of specific calculation methods, namely the net earning sharing approach and sales revenue sharing approach, with reference to the matching relation between the sharing base and sharing ratio in the international trade. Upon the comprehensive analysis, the sales revenue sharing approach was adopted for the valuation of the technologies of CNBM (Hefei) New Energy Company Limited* to calculate the appraised value of the appraised entity for the following reasons:

The technology royalty is usually calculated based on sales revenue of products produced using the technology in a technology contract. As the sales revenue is based on the sales contract and evidenced by the sales invoice, it is easier to be verified, while the accounting profit is determined based on the revenue net of various costs and taxes. The reasonableness of various costs is controlled by the technology implementing party with a relatively complicated process of calculation, which can easily cause disputes between the technology owner and licensed implementing party, thus adding the cost of verification.

– 35 –

From the perspective of valuation of technological intangible assets, it is not appropriate to calculate the technology sharing based on the net accounting profit. The net accounting profit is determined based on revenue net of various costs and taxes, which represents an accounting treatment in compliance with the requirement of the accounting principle, on the premise of ongoing concern and upon applying the principle of prudence. In particular, the research and development expense of self-created technological intangible assets can be recognized as the expense in the profit or loss when it satisfies the requirement of the above principle. Therefore, the asset valuation is required for the technological intangible assets entrusted for valuation which have a book value of zero.

Moreover, the valuers are of the view that the achievement of technological results is conditional on the input of these technological development expenses. Such research and development investment may fall within the definition of assets during asset valuation of technological results. The technological development is a creative activity and there is great uncertainty as to whether it succeeds, which usually generate a weak correspondence between the technological results and technological investment.

More importantly, the core technology of high technology industry has become the necessary condition for the survival and progress of the industry. The value of the technology is partially represented in the cost of products produced, which is widely accepted in the practical operation of technology. For a specific enterprise, the value of technology depends on the operating profit brought about to the enterprise by application of relevant technology to a certain extent. However, in respect of the value of technology itself, it is not proportional to the profit of enterprise. Therefore, another method, namely sales revenue sharing approach, is usually more commonly used in the practice. On the one hand, the selling price or sales revenue is comparatively more public information which can be easily accessed; on the other hand and more importantly, the selling price covers cost and profit and represents a comprehensive value category. Therefore, the method is more commonly used in the technological asset valuation is by virtue of its widely-accepted reasonableness and feasibility.

The process of the earning sharing approach in this valuation is as follows: firstly, to forecast the sales revenue generated each year by the technological products produced using the technology entrusted for valuation within the economic life of technology in future; then to multiply an appropriate technology sharing ratio of the technology entrusted for valuation in the sales revenue; and thirdly, to discount

– 36 –

the revenue share each year with an appropriate opportunity cost of capital (being the discount rate), the sum of the present value generated accordingly serves as the appraised present value of the technology entrusted for valuation. Its basic formula is as follow:

Of which: P – Appraised value of intangible assets

K – Sharing ratio of sales revenue of intangible assets

Ri – Sales revenue of the technological products for the phase i n – term of the earning

r – discount rate

7. Valuation of other non-current assets

The valuers at first check the general ledger, the detailed accounts, the accounting statements and the valuation list. The relevant goods purchased with such amount have been delivered before the valuers conduct an on-site inspection. The valuers inspect the fixed assets and adopt the book value as the appraised value upon verification.

II) Income Approach

The discounted cash flow (DCF) approach has been adopted for this income approach valuation, while free cashflow of the entity has been selected. The value of the entire equity interests is obtained indirectly through the valuation of the overall value of the entity.

This valuation is based on free net cashflow of the entity for certain years in the future. The value of overall operating assets of the entity, calculated through adding up the discounted values with the adoption of an appropriate discount rate, is added to surplus assets and non-operating assets less interest-bearing liabilities in order to derive the value of the entire equity interests.

1. Calculation model

E = V – D Formula 1 V = P + C + C + E[’] Formula 2 1 2

E = V – D

– 37 –

In the above formulas:

  • E: Value of the entire equity interests;

  • V: Overall value of entity;

  • D: Appraised value of interest-bearing liabilities;

  • P: Appraised value of operating assets;

  • C1: Appraised value of surplus assets;

  • C2: Appraised value of non-operating assets;

  • E’: Appraised value of long-term equity investment (not considered in cashflow).

In which, P , the appraised value of operating assets in Formula 2, is calculated with the formula as follows:

==> picture [364 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

The first half of the above formula is the value of explicit forecast period while the other half is the value of perpetual period (final value)

In Formula 3:

Rt: Free cashflow of entity of the t-th explicit forecast period;

  • t: Number of explicit forecast period 1, 2, 3,..., n;

  • r: Discount rate;

  • Rn+1: Free cashflow of entity in perpetual period;

  • g: Growth rate of perpetual period, g = 0 in this valuation;

  • n: The last year of explicit forecast period.

2. Determination of key parameters in the model

  • 1Determination of expected income

Free cashflow of entity is taken as the quantitative indicator of the expected income of the entity in this valuation.

– 38 –

Free cashflow of entity refers to the total of all cashflow after payment of operating expenses and income tax and before cash payment to those who claim against the company. Its calculation formula is as follows:

Free cashflow of = net profit after tax + depreciation and entity amortisation + interest expense × (1 – tax rate T) – capital expenditure – working capital movement

  • 2Determination of income period

Income period in appraising enterprise value normally refers to the number of years in the future in which the enterprise can obtain income. To derive a reasonable forecast of future income, the income period of an enterprise can be categorised as definite and indefinite according to the characteristics of production and operation of an enterprise and relevant laws, regulations, contracts and agreements.

The perpetual period is adopted as the income period in this valuation. Of which, the first phase is the period from 1 November 2016 to 31 December 2021, during which the income is changing based on the operation status and planning of the appraised entity; the second phase starting from 1 January 2022 is the phase of perpetual operation, during which the profitability of the appraised entity will remain stable.

  • 3Determination of discount rate

There are various methods and ways to determine discount rate. Based on the principle of consistency between income amount and discount rate, the income amount is valued using the free cashflow of the entity in this valuation, and thus the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is selected to determine the discount rate.

  • 4Determination of appraised value of interest-bearing liabilities

The interest-bearing liabilities include long-term and short-term borrowings of the enterprise, which are determined based on the market value.

– 39 –

  • 5Determination of appraised value of surplus assets and nonoperating assets (liabilities)

Surplus assets refer to assets that are not directly related to the income of the enterprise and in excess of the amount needed to operate such enterprise, which generally refer to excess cash and cash equivalent and financial assets held for trading, etc. Nonoperating assets refer to assets that are not directly related to the income of the enterprise and not profit-generating. Separate valuation is carried out for such assets.

(II) The valuation results based on the income approach

Upon valuation based on the income approach, the value of the entire equity interest in CNBM (Hefei) New Energy Company Limited* was RMB307,825,000, representing an appreciation of RMB133,345,000 or 76.42% over the book value of net assets of RMB174,480,000.

(III) Finalization of the valuation results

The asset-based approach, which appraises the fair market value of the assets from the perspective of the asset replacement, can only reflect the intrinsic value of assets of the entity, and cannot fully and reasonably demonstrate the comprehensive profitability of various assets and corporate growth. It also cannot cover the value of the intangible assets, including contract performance, customer resources, patents, goodwill and human resources.

– 48 –

The income approach, which appraises the corporate value by discounting the expected income, taking into account of not only the assets of the entity measured based on the accounting principles, but also the resources actually possessed or controlled by the entity which cannot be presented in the balance sheets, which include contract performance, customer resources, sales network, potential projects, corporate qualifications, human resources and strong R&D capability, while the contribution arising from the above resources is reflected in the net cash flow of the entity. Therefore, the valuation conclusion arrived at by using the income approach can better demonstrate the overall growth and profitability of the entity.

We believe that the asset value is normally not based on the costs for reacquisition and re-construction of such assets but the expectation for future income by market participants. Upon investigation on the financial position of the appraised entity and analysis on the operation situation, and considering the appraised entity, valuation purpose and applicable value types, the valuers, after comparison and analysis, are of the opinion that the valuation conclusion based on the income approach can reflect the embedded value of the entity more comprehensively and reasonably. As such, the valuation results arrived at using the income approach were adopted as the final valuation conclusion.

(IV) Finalisation of the valuation results

Upon valuation and under the assumptions of this report, the market value of the entire equity interest in CNBM (Hefei) New Energy Company Limited* was RMB307,825,000 (RMB Three Hundred and Seven Million, Eight Hundred and Twenty Five Thousand) as at 31 October 2016, the valuation base date.

XI. NOTES ON SPECIAL ISSUES

The valuation and estimation of the following issues are beyond the practicing capacity and capability of our Company’s valuers. However, these issues may actually affect the valuation conclusion. Thus, users of this valuation report should pay particular attention to the followings:

  • (I) The “appraised value” referred to herein is a fair valuation presented for the purpose set out expressly herein on the assumption that the assets entrusted for valuation maintain their uses on a going concern basis with conditions and external economic environments on the valuation base date, which shall bear no liability for any other purposes.

– 49 –

  • (II) The valuation conclusion in the report reflects the fair value of the appraised entity for the purpose of the valuation set out herein under the principle of an open market, and does not include any fees or taxes that shall be borne in the ownership registration or change of such assets or makes no tax adjustments for the value addition of the assets valuation. The valuation conclusion shall not be deemed as a guaranteed realizable price of the appraised entity.

  • (III) Premiums or discounts caused by factors such as controlling interest and minority interest have not been taken into consideration in the valuation results, nor has the effect of the liquidity of the equity interest entrusted for valuation on the valuation results.

  • (IV) Where there are any changes in the number of assets and price standards within the effective term after the valuation base date and up to 30 October 2017, proper adjustments shall be made to the valuation conclusion instead of direct utilisation.

V. VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

(I) General assumptions:

  1. Transaction assumption: all assets to be valued are assumed to be in the transaction process and valuers conduct the valuation according to simulated market conditions such as transaction conditions of the assets to be valued.

  2. Open market assumption: open market assumption is an assumption about conditions of a market into which assets are proposed to be entered and effects of such market conditions on assets. An open market means a well-developed, comprehensive and competitive market with willing buyers and willing sellers acting voluntarily and rationally at arms’ length, having sufficient opportunities and time to obtain market information and under no compulsion or restrictions to buy or sell.

  3. Continuous use assumption: continuous use assumption is an assumption made on the conditions of the market where the assets are intended to enter into as well as the status of the assets in such market conditions. It is first assumed that the assets to be appraised are in use, and it is further assumed that the assets that are in use will be used continuously. Under continuous use assumption, no consideration is given to the conversion of the use of the assets or utilisation of the assets under the best condition. Thus, the valuation results are subject to a restricted scope of applicability.

  4. Going concern assumption: it is an assumption made by taking the whole assets of an enterprise as the appraised entity. In this way, the enterprise operates continually in pursuit of its operation objective under its external environment as the main operating entity. The management of the enterprise is responsible for and capable of taking responsibility. The enterprise operates legally and makes appropriate profits to maintain the capability of going concern.

(II) Valuation assumptions under the income approach:

There is no significant change in the political, economic and social environment in which the parties to this transaction are situated, and there are no material adverse impacts arising from other unforeseeable factors or force majenre.

– 54 –

  1. Assuming the company to operate as a going concern based on the actual status of the assets as at the valuation base date.

  2. Assuming the management of the company to be responsible and have the capability to take on their duties.

VI. VALUATION METHOD

(I) Selection of valuation methods

The asset-based approach is the valuation method by which the value of the appraised entity is determined by reasonably assessing the values of every assets and liabilities items, both on and off balance sheet, on the basis of the balance sheet. Taking into account the circumstances of this valuation, the appraised entity can provide and the valuers can collect externally the information required by the asset-based approach, so that thorough investigation and valuation can be conducted on the assets and liabilities of the appraised entity. Therefore, the asset-based approach is applicable to this valuation.

– 55 –

The income approach is based on the expected utility theory of economics. In other words, from the perspective of the investors, the enterprise value lies in the future income expected to be generated for the enterprise. Despite the absence of the direct use of comparable in the actual market for stating the prevailing fair market value of the appraised entity, the income approach assesses the value of an asset by its expected profitability, which is the essential basis for determining the prevailing fair market value of the asset. As such, it can completely reflect the overall value of an enterprise and its valuation conclusion is more reliable and convincing. From the perspective of applicable conditions, since the enterprise is profitable in its own right and the management of the appraised entity has provided the profit forecast for the future years, according to the historical operating data of the enterprise and the internal and external operating environment, the future level of profit of the enterprise can be reasonably forecasted. In addition, the risk of future income can be reasonably quantified. Therefore, the income approach has been adopted in this valuation.

The market approach determines the prevailing fair market value of the appraised entity by referring to comparables in the market. This approach is direct in terms of valuation perspective and valuation methods, and the valuation process is intuitive. The data for the valuation is from market, making the result convincing. Given the lack of a fully-developed and active capital market in China, it is difficult to accurately quantify and rectify the degree of similarity between the comparable listed companies and the transaction cases with the appraised entity. As such, the accuracy of the result of valuation under the market approach is difficult to be measured in a precise manner. Further, valuation under the market approach is based on one point of time on the valuation reference date in the capital market, without regard to the cyclical fluctuation of the market. As such, the market approach is not adopted for this valuation.

Accordingly, the asset-based approach and the income approach have been selected for this valuation.

(II) Introduction of the Specific Valuation Methods

I) Asset-based Approach

The asset-based approach, which is a method for appraising enterprise values, refers to the method for determining the value of the appraised entity based on the reasonable valuation of the value of assets and liabilities of an enterprise on the basis of the balance sheet of the appraised entity as of the valuation base date. The process of valuation of different types of assets and liabilities is as follows:

1. Valuation of Current Assets and Liabilities

Current assets of the appraised entity include cash and cash equivalent, notes receivable, accounts receivable, prepayments, other receivables, inventories, and other current assets; while liabilities include short term borrowings, notes payable, accounts payable, receipts in advance, staff remuneration payable, tax payable, interest payable, and other payables.

  • (A) Cash and cash equivalent: it includes cash on hand, bank deposits. The appraised value of which was determined as the verified book value which was arrived at after checking cash inventory and the verification of bank reconciliation statements, bank confirmations.

  • (B) Notes receivable: notes receivable refer to the bills received by enterprises for selling products or rendering services, etc. All notes receivable in the scope of valuation are bankers’ acceptance. For notes receivable, the valuer checked the book records and the register of notes receivable, and took inventories of and verified the notes receivable. Corresponding sales contracts and delivery orders (shipping orders) as well as other original records were also checked for certain notes receivable of large amount. The appraised value was then determined at the verified book value after verification.

– 57 –

  • (C) Accounts receivable and other receivables: the appraised value shall be determined based on the recoverable amount of each account receivable provided that the amount of each of the accounts receivable is duly verified. If there is a good reason to believe that all the amount can be recovered, the appraised value shall be calculated at the total amount of all accounts receivable; for the partial amount which is probably irrecoverable, in the event that it is difficult to confirm the amount of irrecoverable receivables, historical information and on-site investigation are used to provide details of the situation, specifically analyze the amount, time and reasons of loans, recovery of the amounts, as well as the debtor’s capital, credit and current situation of operating management to estimate the partial amount which is probably irrecoverable in accordance with the aging analysis method as the appraised value calculated after deduction of the loss from risk; with regard to those which have conclusive evidences proving that the receivable cannot be recovered, the appraised value will be nil. The provision for bad debts on the accounts shall be accounted for as zero.

  • (D) Prepayments: the appraised value shall be determined based on the value of assets or rights from corresponding goods that can be recovered. For recoverable goods or rights, the verified book value is taken as the appraised value. Where there is conclusive evidence that the corresponding goods cannot be recovered, or the corresponding assets or interests cannot be formed, the appraised value of such prepayments will be nil.

  • (E) Inventories

Purchased inventories: mainly include raw materials and turnover materials. For the purchased inventories with short inventory period, high marketability and stable market price, the verified book value is taken as the appraised value; for the purchased inventories with long inventory period, low marketability and fluctuating market price, the appraised value shall be determined at the prevailing price in the public market on the valuation base date plus any normal purchase cost.

– 58 –

Finished goods: valuation methods applicable for finished goods include cost approach and market approach, whereas this valuation adopted the market approach. By market method, finished goods are valued by reference to their total costs plus the likely amount of profits to be arising from their sales, or the finished goods are valued below cost, depending on the market conditions of the particular finished goods. For fast moving products, appraised values were determined according to their factory selling price less operating expenses and all taxes; for products with normal sales, appraised values were determined according to their factory selling price less operating expenses, all taxes and appropriate amounts of net profit after tax; for products with poor marketability, appraised values are determined according to their factory selling price less operating expenses, all taxes and net profit after tax; for products that are slow-moving, overstocked and sold with discounts, the appraised values shall be determined according to their net realizable values.

Goods in process: after the verification, the carrying-forward of the costs of goods in process which is accounted for at the actual costs (comprising raw materials for production, manufacture cost, auxiliary material and labor cost and other costs), was timely and complete with accurate amounts, and the production cycle was short. Valuers are of opinion that, as the book value of the goods in process is basically able to reflect its present value upon verifying the composition of its cost and the accounting situation, the book value after verification is recognised as the appraised value.

  • (F) Other current assets: on the basis of verifying correctness, the valuers verified the company’s tax forms by checking the tax types, tax rates, tax amounts and payment rates applicable to the enterprise, and ascertained the correctness and truthfulness of the amounts declared by reviewing the tax vouchers. As verified, the tax amounts are consistent with those declared. Therefore, the book value after verification is recognised as the appraised value.

  • (G) Liabilities: the appraised value of liabilities shall be determined based on the liability items and amounts actually to be assumed by the appraised entities (realized based on the valuation purpose) provided that such liabilities were duly checked and verified. Those liability items not actually to be assumed shall be calculated as zero.

– 59 –

2. Valuation of buildings and structures

Given the specific purpose of this valuation and the characteristics of each building to be valued, the cost method was adopted for valuation of building assets based on their different functions, structural characteristics and nature of use.

= Appraised value full replacement price (tax exclusive) × newness rate

  • (1) Full replacement price (tax exclusive)

Full replacement = construction and installation cost + price (tax preliminary cost and other cost + capital exclusive) cost – value-added tax deductible

  • A. Construction and installation cost

As for buildings and structures with higher value, the valuers select typical projects in accordance with the specific conditions of the appraised buildings and collect information including final account for completion, completion acceptance, and construction drawings of the typical projects to verify the construction workload. Cost of civil projects and various installation costs, and in turn the total construction and installation cost are calculated under the local quota standard and relevant charging document. The construction and installation cost for low-valued and simple buildings and structures is calculated by the per-square-meter cost method. For buildings lacking final accounts for completion or other information, the construction and installation cost is calculated through the re-budgeting method or the comparison approach to adjust and confirm the direct expenses. The construction cost of each of the major and typical buildings as at valuation base date is calculated in accordance with the quota and relevant charging standards in the project budget report issued by Bengbu Design & Research Institute for Glass Industry*, 2009 Pricing Quota and Consolidated Unit Price for Construction, Decoration and Installation Project of Anhui Province (Commonly-Used Handbook)” (2009「安徽 省建築、裝飾裝修工程及安裝工程(常用冊)」計價定額 綜合單價), Notice on the Adjustment of the Prevailing Basis of Computing Prices in Anhui Province to Implement Valueadded Tax and to Replace Business Tax in the Construction Industry (《關於建築業營業稅改增值稅調整我省現行計 依據的通知》) (Jian Biao [2016] No. 67), Zao Jia [2016] No. 11 Implementation Opinion on the Adjustment of the

Prevailing Basis of Computing Prices to Implement Valueadded Tax and to Replace Business Tax (關於營業稅改徵增 值稅調整現行計價依據的實施意見) issued by Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of Anhui Province and Information on Construction Project Cost of Anqing (安 慶市建設工程造價信息) on the valuation base date as well as the price adjustment documents and market price of various materials.

  • B. Preliminary cost and construction-related expenses

Preliminary cost and other cost include management cost of the contractor, cost of feasibility research, cost of engineering investigation and design and cost of construction supervision. Preliminary cost and other cost are determined in accordance with industrial standards and the charging regulation of the relevant national authorities.

  • C. Capital cost

Capital cost: capital cost refers to the loan interest of the construction investment during the construction period, interest rate adopted in the calculation is the interest rate released by the People’s Bank of China on the valuation base date and a construction period is based on the normal work cycles, assuming capital will be equally injected:

= Capital cost (construction and installation cost + preliminary cost and other cost) × reasonable construction period × loan interest × 50%

D. Value-added tax deductible

The value-added tax valuation method was adopted for calculation of the construction and installation cost of buildings to be valuated, the corresponding value-added tax deductible was calculated at the rate of 11%; for preliminary cost (other than management cost of the contractor which are not deductible), the value-added tax deductible will be calculated at the rate of 6%.

Value-added tax = total construction and installation deductible cost/1.11 × 11% + preliminary cost (other than management cost of the contractor)/1.06 × 6%

– 61 –

(2) Determination of Newness rate

The method used to calculate the newness rate of buildings and structures varies with their types and value. For important and high-valued buildings and structures, the calculation adopts the comprehensive newness rate approach which uses both the inspected newness rate and the theoretical newness rate for calculation. The comprehensive newness rate is the weighted average of the two results. For common buildings and structures, life-based method is used and adjustment will be made depending on the specific inspection situation.

Calculation formula:

Newness rate = inspected newness rate × 0.6 + theoretical newness rate × 0.4

Inspected newness rate

There are three major factors that can affect the newness rate of a building (structure, decoration and equipment). A standard score is given to each factor based on its impact on the construction cost of the buildings and structures. Separate score based on inspection conditions are used to calculate the inspected newness rate.

Calculation of theoretical newness rate

Theoretical = (1 – life in use/economic useful life) × newness rate 100%

  • (3) Determination of appraised value

= Appraised value full replacement price × newness rate

3. Valuation of assets in the equipment class

Valuation of machineries and equipment mainly adopts the cost method, which is used to determine the appraised value of machineries and equipment through estimating the updated replacement cost of brand new machineries and equipment, with the deduction of the actual depreciation, functional depreciation, and economic depreciation or on the basis of its determined comprehensive newness rate. The calculation formula adopted in the valuation is as follows:

= Appraised value full replacement price × newness rate

– 62 –

In which: replacement value of equipment generally consists of all reasonable direct and indirect costs required for repurchasing or constructing brand new assets of the same functions with the appraised entity, such as purchase price, transportation and miscellaneous cost, equipment foundation cost, installation and testing cost, preliminary cost and other cost as well as capital cost.

Pursuant to the “Provisional Regulations of the PRC on Value-Added Tax (中華人民共和國增值稅暫行條例)” (Order No. 538 of the State Council of the PRC), starting from 1 January 2009, companies in relevant industries shall adopt consumption value-added tax system to replace production value-added tax system. Under the new system, value-added tax contained in the fixed assets purchased by a company will be deductible in the incremental value-added tax paid for the sale of the company’s products or can be carried forward to next year if not deductible in current year. Therefore, the full replacement price is calculated based on the tax exclusive price in this valuation.

  • (1) Determination of full replacement price

  • A. Self-made equipment and non-standard equipment

The full replacement price of equipment is determined in accordance with the information of original construction project and finance settlement, and based on the raw materials cost, equipment cost, tools and spare parts cost on the base date, current labor cost price, specialized production cost as well as the corresponding capital cost, tax and profit.

  • B. Equipment purchased

The full replacement price of equipment with higher value mainly includes purchase price of equipment (tax exclusive) (prevailing price of non-standard equipment), transportation and miscellaneous cost, installation and testing cost and capital cost; for general equipment with lower value and transportation cost and not requiring installation, the full replacement price is determined by reference to the prevailing market purchase price or prevailing price of non-standard equipment.

– 63 –

  • a. Determination of purchase price of equipment

Purchase price of equipment is mainly determined by making inquiries to manufacturers or trading companies, or by reference to the “2016 Quotations Catalog for Electromechanical Products (2016年機電產品報價目 錄)” and other price information, as well as the recent contract price for similar equipment. For the equipment whose purchase price is not available, the purchase price is calculated using the change rate of price of equipment of the same type in the same year.

  • b. Determination of transportation and miscellaneous cost

Transportation and miscellaneous cost of equipment includes loading and unloading fee, transportation fee, custody fee, insurance fee and other related fees incurred from the place of delivery to the installation site of the equipment, including short-distance transportation fee for shipping equipment to railway stations and docks. Transportation fee with actual calculation basis are determined according to the actual basis or are otherwise determined based on the purchase price of equipment (tax exclusive) by reference to the “Manual of Data and Parameters Commonly Used in Assets Valuation (資產評估常用數據與參數手冊)”. If the supplier is responsible for transportation (included in the purchase price) according to the delivery conditions, the transportation and miscellaneous cost shall not be considered.

  • c. Determination of installation and testing cost

Installation and testing cost include fees incurred in post-processing of equipment foundation, and installation and testing. According to the equipment characteristics and industry practices of the appraised entity, the installation and testing cost is determined by reference to the “Manual of Data and Parameters Commonly Used in Assets Valuation”;

For small-sized equipment not requiring installation, the installation and testing cost shall not be considered.

– 64 –

  • d. Other costs of project construction

Other costs of the project construction consist of management cost of the contractor, construction supervision cost, environmental appraisal cost, project proposal cost and feasibility research cost, investigation and design cost, agent service cost for bidding and joint trial operation cost.

  • e. Capital cost

  • =

  • Capital cost equipment replacement costs × reasonable construction period (year) × loan interest rate per annum × 1/2

According to the scale of this project, the reasonable construction period is determined as two years.

C. Vehicles

The prices of vehicles as at the valuation base date are determined by making reference to recent vehicle market price information including market and online information on vehicles. On such basis, capitalized expenses including vehicle purchase tax and license fees will be calculated according to the “Interim Regulations on purchase tax of vehicles of the People’s Republic of China (《中華人民共和國車輛購置稅暫行條例》)” and the provisions of the relevant local departments, in order to determine the replacement costs:

Replacement cost

= current purchase price (tax exclusive) + vehicle purchase tax + license fees = Current purchase price (tax inclusive)/ (1 + 17%) × (1 + 10%) + license fees

Where: 10% represents the tax rate of vehicle purchase tax, and 17% represents the tax rate of value-added tax (VAT).

  • ① Determination of vehicle purchase price: the determination is made by making reference to the market prices of the latest transactions of comparable models of vehicles in places where the vehicles are located. Other costs are determined in accordance with the standards for fees charged by the management department of vehicles.

– 65 –

  • ② Determination of vehicle purchase tax: the determination is made according to the relevant provisions of the Notice of the State Administration of Taxation, Ministry of Finance and People’s Bank of China on Relevant Issues Concerning the Administration of Collection of Vehicle Purchase Tax (Guo Shui Fa [2009] No. 127) (《國家稅務總局財政部中國 人民銀行關於車輛購置稅徵繳管理有關問題的通知》(國稅 發[2009])127號文).

Vehicle purchase tax = taxable price × 10%

Of which the taxable price does not include VAT price.

  • ③ Determination of license fees: The determination is made according to the relevant provisions of the places where the vehicles are located, and on the basis of the substance and amount of such expenses.

Some vehicles are valuated using the market approach. For very old vehicles or vehicles of out-of-production models, and those irreplaceable models, the appraised value is determined by making reference to recent second-hand vehicle market quotations and prices.

  • (2) Valuation of newness rate

The comprehensive newness rate is appraised by way of the technically assessed grading approach in combination with the theoretical newness rate determined using service life approach.

  • A. Major production equipment and large-scale equipment

Newness rate = (economic service life – serviced life)/ determined economic service life × 100% using service life approach

– 66 –

Newness rate determined using on-site inspection approach: The newness rate is determined by conducting the on-site inspection of various components of the equipment by the valuers and appraising each part of the equipment.

  • Newness rate = newness rate under the service life approach × 40% + newness rate under the technically assessed approach × 60%

  • B. The theoretical newness rate for ancillary equipment and electronic equipment with lower value is mainly determined using the service life approach, based on which adjustments are then made according to the utilization rate, loading, maintenance and service as well as original manufacturing quality of the equipment.

Theoretical = (economic service life – serviced life)/ newness rate economic service life ×100%.

  • C. Vehicles

In accordance with the Provisions on the Standards for Compulsory Retirement of Motor Vehicles (《機動車強制 報廢標準規定》) with effect from 1 May 2013, some motor vehicles are subject to compulsory retirement standards in service life and recommended retirement standards in driving mileage, while the compulsory retirement regulation in service life was cancelled for certain motor vehicles, for which there is no limitation on service life.

Vehicles have economic service life as impacted by vehicle emission environmental policy, together with the gradually increased maintenance costs in the later period of their service life. The newness rate adopted in the valuation of vehicles is the lower of the newness rate under the service life approach and mileage-based newness rate calculated based on the specified driving mileage.

Newness rate = (1 – serviced life ÷ economic service under the life) ×100% service life approach = Mileage-based (1 – mileage travelled ÷ mandatory newness rate driving mileage) ×100%

– 67 –

Newness rate

= Min (Newness rate under the service life approach, Mileage-based newness rate)

Finally, the newness rate is adjusted in consideration of the conditions such as the appearance, overall structure, engine structure, circuit system, braking performance and exhaust emission of the vehicles upon on-site inspection.

4. Valuation of the project under construction

The project under construction-equipment installation project within the scope of valuation represents the equipment of the testing center under construction. As at the valuation base date, it referred to certain payments for equipment prepaid by the enterprise. Upon verification, it is less than half year from its commencement date to the valuation base date. According to the reported amount for the project under construction and upon checking the account and the physical assets, the verified book value is adopted as the appraised value, after confirming that there is no duplicate calculation between the project under construction and the associated asset items.

5. Valuation of land use right

The approach applicable for valuation of the land use right of the valuation target is selected upon analysis according to the features and specific conditions of the valuation target and actual conditions of the project, in accordance with the “Regulations for Valuation of Urban Lands (《城鎮土地估價規程》)” and in view of the land market in the regions where the valuation target is located and the relevant information gathered by the land valuers.

If the valuation target is for industrial purpose, the standard floorprice coefficient correction approach, market comparison approach and cost approximation approach can be adopted for valuation, while the residual approach and income approach are not suitable.

As the benchmark land premium of the land parcel entrusted for valuation was published earlier, it is not suitable for adoption of standard floor-price coefficient correction approach in the valuation.

As there are recent transaction cases in the market of the region where the land parcel entrusted for valuation is located, the market comparison approach can be adopted for valuation.

– 68 –

As the parameters such as land expropriation compensation standard and relevant tax standard in the region where the land parcel entrusted for valuation is located, are available, the cost approximation approach can be adopted for valuation.

In view of the above, the market comparison approach and cost approximation approach are adopted for the valuation.

6. Valuation of intangible assets – patented and proprietary technologies

(1) Externally purchased intangible assets

For externally purchased intangible assets, the valuers learned about the main functions and features of the above intangible assets, verified the purchase contracts, invoices, payment vouchers and other information of the intangible assets, and made inquiries to the software suppliers. The contracts, invoices and title documents of the software intangible assets are complete and there is no title dispute.

For the software purchased externally which was available on the market and without upgrade version as at the valuation base date, its appraised value was determined based on the market price of the software of the same type on the valuation base date. For the software purchased externally which is available on the market but in the form of an upgraded version, its appraised value is determined by deducting the software upgrade cost from the prevailing market price.

  • (2) Non-patented technology, patents and others

The valuation methods for patented technology mainly include the market approach, cost approach and income approach.

The market approach is a common and effective method for countries and regions with relatively developed technological and capital markets. Under this valuation approach, the same or similar patented and proprietary technologies in the market are selected as references, and comparison and adjustment are made in relation to the price difference between the patented and proprietary technologies with the references through analogy of various factors affecting the value such as the functions of the patented and proprietary technologies. By analyzing the results of various adjustments, the value of the patented and proprietary technologies was determined.

– 69 –

The market approach is used to valuate patented and proprietary technologies on the condition that the relatively public market data and the comparable references are available, and such references have clear influential factors on value which can be quantified. Functional analogy method is largely used in the market approach. As China’s patented and proprietary technologies market is still under development at present, the environment for protection of such technologies is also less regulated. Meanwhile, the piracies of products based on patented and proprietary technologies make it relatively difficult to collect fair transaction data of such products. Therefore, it is rather difficult to apply the market approach in the valuation of patented and proprietary technologies in China at present.

The cost approach is the most mature method to valuate the value of patented and proprietary technologies application. As there is no explicit socialized market for self-use patented and proprietary technologies within some enterprises and industry or their market capacity or demand is low, it is usually difficult to determine the value of products based on the patented and proprietary technologies by reference to the sale of such products (the revenue of products based on the dedicated or self-use patented and proprietary technologies are mostly implied in the overall benefits of the enterprise or industry). Therefore, the adoption of cost approach for valuation is relatively objective and feasible. In addition, for products based on patented and proprietary technologies which have not been launched on the market, the adoption of cost approach for valuation is more persuasive. To give less consideration of the creative value of products based on patented and proprietary technologies is the disadvantage of cost approach. Therefore, the accuracy of forecast about the maintenance cost of such products will have certain effect on the value of patented and proprietary technologies.

The present earning value approach is the most common method for the valuation of technological intangible assets. As the technological development itself is the investment for the future, its value is finally presented by the future return. The key of present earning value approach is to define the future earnings generated from the technology entrusted for valuation, which is usually conducted through earning sharing approach. In the application of earning sharing approach, there are two kinds of specific calculation methods, namely the net earning sharing approach and sales revenue sharing approach, with reference to the matching relation between the sharing base and sharing ratio in the international trade. Upon the comprehensive analysis, the

– 70 –

sales revenue sharing approach was adopted for the valuation of the technologies of CNBM (Tongcheng) New Energy Company Limited* to calculate the appraised value of appraised entity for the following reasons:

The technology royalty is usually calculated based on sales revenue of products produced using the technology in a technology contract. As the sales revenue is based on the sales contract and evidenced by the sales invoice, it is easier to be verified, while the accounting profit is determined based on the revenue net of various costs and taxes. The reasonableness of various costs is controlled by the technology implementing party with a relatively complicated process of calculation, which can easily cause disputes between the technology owners and licensed implementing party, thus adding the cost of verification.

From the perspective of valuation of technological intangible assets, it is not appropriate to calculate the technology sharing based on the net accounting profit. The net accounting profit is determined based on revenue net of various costs and taxes, which represents an accounting treatment in compliance with the requirement of the accounting principle, on the premise of ongoing concern and upon applying the principle of prudence. In particular, the research and development expense of self-created technological intangible assets can be recognized as the expense in the profit or loss when it satisfies the requirement of the above principle. Therefore, the asset valuation is required for the technological intangible assets entrusted for valuation which have a book value of zero.

Moreover, the valuers are of the view that the achievement of technological results is conditional on the input of these technological development expenses. Such research and development investment may fall within the definition of assets during asset valuation of technological results. The technological development is a creative activity and there is a great uncertainty as to whether it succeeds, which usually generate a weak correspondence between the technological results and technological investment.

More importantly, the core technology of high technology industry has become the necessary condition for the survival and progress of the industry. The value of the technology is partially represented in the cost of products produced, which is widely accepted in the practical operation of technology. For a specific enterprise, the value of technology depends on the operating

– 71 –

profit brought about to the enterprise by application of relevant technology to a certain extent. However, in respect of the value of technology itself, it is not proportional to the profit of enterprise. Therefore, another method, namely sales revenue sharing approach, is usually more commonly used in the practice. On the one hand, the selling price or sales revenue is comparatively more public information which can be easily accessed; on the other hand and more importantly, the selling price covers cost and profit and represents a comprehensive value category. Therefore, this method is more commonly used in the technological asset valuation by virtue of its widely-accepted reasonableness and feasibility.

The process of the earning sharing approach in this valuation is as follows: firstly, to forecast the sales revenue generated each year by the technological products produced using the technology entrusted for valuation within the economic life of technology in future; then to multiply an appropriate technology sharing ratio of the technology entrusted for valuation in the sales revenue; and thirdly, to discount the revenue share each year with an appropriate opportunity cost of capital (being the discount rate), the sum of the present value generated accordingly serves as the appraised present value of the technology entrusted for valuation. Its basic formula is as follow:

Of which: P – Appraised value of intangible assets

K – Sharing ratio of sales revenue of intangible assets Ri – Sales revenue of the technological products for the phase i

n – term of the earning

r – discount rate

7. Valuation of deferred income tax assets

Deferred income tax assets are recognized by the enterprise based on the calculation results of the temporary difference and the applicable income tax rate. The accounting content includes a deductible temporary difference arising from the book value of assets which is lower than its tax base. The valuers investigated and learned about the reasons and generation of such difference. For those generated due to provision for bad debts of receivables, the appraised value is determined based on the re-verified and calculated amount.

– 72 –

8. Valuation of other non-current assets

The valuers have reviewed the relevant contracts and bookkeeping vouchers and confirmed the authenticity of other non-current assets and the truthfulness and accuracy of the carrying amounts. The appraised value was determined in accordance with the book value thereof.

II) INCOME APPROACH

The discounted cash flow (DCF) approach has been adopted for this income approach valuation, while free cashflow of the entity has been selected. The value of the entire equity interests is obtained indirectly through the valuation of the overall value of the entity.

This valuation is based on free net cashflow of the entity for certain years in the future. The value of overall operating assets of the entity, calculated through adding up the discounted values with the adoption of an appropriate discount rate, is added to surplus assets and non-operating assets less interest-bearing liabilities in order to derive the value of the entire equity interests.

1. Valuation model

DCF approach has been adopted for this valuation, i.e. the free cashflow of the entity is the quantitative indicator for the enterprise’s expected income, and the corresponding Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) model has been adopted for calculating the discount rate.

2. Calculation formula

E = V – D Formula 1 V = P + C1 + C2 + E[’] Formula 2

In the above formulas:

  • E: Value of the entire equity interests;

  • V: Value of entity;

  • D: Appraised value of interest-bearing liabilities;

  • P: Appraised value of operating assets;

  • C1: Appraised value of surplus assets;

  • C2: Appraised value of non-operating assets; E’: Appraised value of long-term equity investment.

– 73 –

In which, P, the appraised value of operating assets in Formula 2, is calculated with the formula as follows:

==> picture [372 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

The first half of the above formula is the value of explicit forecast period while the other half is the value of perpetual period (final value)

In Formula 3:

Rt: Free cashflow of entity of the t-th explicit forecast period;

t: Number of explicit forecast period 1, 2, 3,..., n;

  • r: Discount rate;

  • Rn+1: Free cashflow of entity in perpetual period;

  • g: Growth rate of perpetual period, g = 0 in this valuation;

  • n: The last year of explicit forecast period.

3. Determination of income period

Income period in appraising enterprise value normally refers to the number of years in the future in which the enterprise can obtain income. To derive a reasonable forecast of future income, the income period of an enterprise can be categorised as definite and indefinite according to the characteristics of production and operation of an enterprise and relevant laws, regulations, contracts and agreements.

4. Determination of expected income

Free cashflow of entity is taken as the quantitative indicator of the expected income of the entity in this valuation.

Free cashflow of entity refers to the total of all cashflow after payment of operating expenses and income tax and before cash payment to those who claim against the company. Its calculation formula is as follows:

Free cashflow of = net profit after tax + depreciation and entity amortisation + interest expense × (1 – tax rate T) – capital expenditure – working capital movement

– 74 –

5. Determination of discount rate

There are various methods and ways to determine discount rate. Based on the principle of consistency between income amount and discount rate, the income amount is valued using the free cashflow of the entity in this valuation, and thus the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is selected to determine the discount rate.

6. Determination of value of interest-bearing liabilities

The interest-bearing liabilities include long-term and short-term borrowings of the enterprise, which are determined based on the market value.

7. Determination of value of surplus assets and non-operating assets

Surplus assets refer to assets that are not directly related to the income of the enterprise and in excess of the amount needed to operate such enterprise, which generally refer to excess cash and cash equivalent and financial assets held for trading, etc. Non-operating assets refer to assets that are not directly related to the income of the enterprise and not profit-generating. Separate valuation is carried out for such assets.

(II) The valuation results based on the income approach

Upon valuation based on the income approach, the value of the entire equity interest in CNBM (Tongcheng) New Energy Company Limited* was RMB221,651,100, representing an appreciation of RMB11,561,100 or 5.50%.

(III) Finalization of the valuation results

The asset-based approach, which appraises the fair market value of the assets from the perspective of the asset replacement, can only reflect the intrinsic value of assets of the entity, and cannot fully and reasonably demonstrate the comprehensive profitability of various assets and corporate growth. It also cannot cover the value of the intangible assets, including contract performance, customer resources, patents, goodwill and human resources.

The income approach, which appraises the corporate value by discounting the expected income, taking into account of not only the assets of the entity measured based on the accounting principles, but also the resources actually possessed or controlled by the entity which cannot be presented in the balance sheets, which include contract performance, customer resources, sales network, potential projects, corporate qualifications, human resources and strong R&D capability, while the contribution arising from the above resources is reflected in the net cash flow of the entity. Therefore, the valuation conclusion arrived at by using the income approach can better demonstrate the overall growth and profitability of the entity.

– 84 –

We believe that the asset value is normally not based on the costs for re- acquisition and re-construction of such assets but the expectation for future income by market participants. Upon investigation on the financial position of the appraised entity and analysis on the operation situation, and considering the appraised entity, valuation purpose and applicable value types, the valuers, after comparison and analysis, are of opinion that the valuation conclusion based on the income approach can reflect the embedded value of the entity more comprehensively and reasonably. As such, the valuation results arrived at using the income approach were adopted as the final valuation conclusion.

(IV) Finalisation of the valuation results

Upon valuation and under the assumptions of this report, the market value of the entire equity interest in CNBM (Tongcheng) New Energy Company Limited* was RMB221,651,100 (RMB Two Hundred Twenty-one Million, Six Hundred and Fifty-one Thousand and One Hundred) as at 31 October 2016, the valuation base date.

XI. NOTES ON SPECIAL ISSUES

The valuation and estimation of the following issues are beyond the practicing capacity and capability of our company’s valuers. However, these issues may actually affect the valuation conclusion. Thus, users of this valuation report should pay particular attention to the followings:

  • (I) The “appraised value” referred to herein is a fair valuation presented for the purpose set out expressly herein on the assumption that the assets entrusted for valuation maintain their uses on a going concern basis with conditions and external economic environments on the valuation base date, which shall bear no liability for any other purposes.

  • (II) The valuation conclusion in the report reflects the fair value of the appraised entity for the purpose of the valuation set out herein under the principle of an open market, and does not include any fees or taxes that shall be borne in the ownership registration or change of such assets or makes no tax adjustments for the value addition of the assets valuation. The valuation conclusion shall not be deemed as a guaranteed realizable price of the appraised entity.

V. VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

(I) General assumptions:

  1. Transaction assumption: all assets to be valued are assumed to be in the transaction process and valuers conduct the valuation according to simulated market conditions such as transaction conditions of the assets to be valued.

  2. Open market assumption: open market assumption is an assumption about conditions of a market into which assets are proposed to be entered and effects of such market conditions on assets. An open market means a well-developed, comprehensive and competitive market with willing buyers and willing sellers acting voluntarily and rationally at arms’ length, having sufficient opportunities and time to obtain market information and under no compulsion or restrictions to buy or sell.

  3. Continuous use assumption: the continuous use assumption is an assumption made on the conditions of the market where the assets are intended to enter into as well as the status of the assets in such market conditions. It is first assumed that the assets to be appraised are in use, and it is further assumed that the assets that are in use will be used continuously. Under continuous use assumption, no consideration is given to the conversion of the use of the assets or utilisation of the assets under the best condition. Thus, the valuation results are subject to a restricted scope of applicability.

  4. Going concern assumption: it is an assumption made by taking the whole assets of an enterprise as the appraised entity. In this way, the enterprise operates continually in pursuit of its operation objective under its external environment as the main operating entity. The management of the enterprise is responsible for and capable of taking responsibility. The enterprise operates legally and makes appropriate profits to maintain the capability of going concern.

(II) Valuation assumptions under the income approach:

  1. There is no significant change in the relevant existing laws, regulations and policies of the country, or in the macroeconomic conditions of the country. There is no significant change in the political, economic and social environment in which the parties to this transaction are situated, and there are no material adverse impacts arising from other unforeseeable factors or force majenre.

– 89 –

  1. Assuming the company to operate as a going concern based on the actual status of the assets as at the valuation base date.

  2. Assuming the management of the company to be responsible and have the capability to take on their duties.

  3. Assuming the company to comply with all related laws and regulations unless otherwise stated.

  4. Assuming the accounting policy to be adopted by the company in the future to be fundamentally consistent in all material aspects with the one adopted when compiling the valuation report.

  5. Assuming the company to maintain the existing business scope and mode on the basis of the present management mode and level.

  6. There will be no material changes to the interest rates, exchange rates, tax bases, tax rates and policy charges.

  7. There will be no material adverse impacts arising from other force majeure or unforeseeable factors.

  8. Assuming the estimated annual cash flows of the company to be generated during the period.

  9. Assuming the products and services of the enterprise maintain existing competition status in the market subsequent to the valuation base date.

VI. VALUATION METHOD

(I) Selection of valuation methods

The asset-based approach is the valuation method by which the value of the appraised entity is determined by reasonably assessing the values of every assets and liabilities items, both on and off balance sheet, on the basis of the balance sheet. Taking into account the circumstances of this valuation, the appraised entity can provide and the valuers can collect externally the information required by the asset-based approach, so that thorough investigation and valuation can be conducted on the assets and liabilities of the appraised entity. Therefore, the asset-based approach is applicable to this valuation.

– 90 –

The income approach is based on the expected utility theory of economics. In other words, from the perspective of the investors, the enterprise value lies in the future income expected to be generated for the enterprise. Despite the absence of the direct use of comparable in the actual market for stating the prevailing fair market value of the appraised entity, the income approach assesses the value of an asset by its expected profitability, which is the essential basis for determining the prevailing fair market value of the asset. As such, it can completely reflect the overall value of an enterprise and its valuation conclusion is more reliable and convincing. From the perspective of applicable conditions of the income approach, since the enterprise is profitable in its own right and the management of the appraised entity has provided the profit forecast for the future years, according to the historical operating data of the enterprise and the internal and external operating environment, the future level of profit of the enterprise can be reasonably forecasted. In addition, the risk of future income can be reasonably quantified. Therefore, the income approach has been adopted in this valuation.

The market approach determines the prevailing fair market value of the appraised entity by referring to comparables in the market. This approach is direct in terms of valuation perspective and valuation methods, and the valuation process is intuitive. The data for the valuation is from market, making the result convincing. Given the lack of a fully-developed and active capital market in China, it is difficult to accurately quantify and rectify the degree of similarity between the comparable listed companies and the transaction cases with the appraised entity. As such, the accuracy of the result of valuation under the market approach is difficult to be measured in a precise manner. Further, valuation under the market approach is based on one point of time on the valuation reference date in the capital market, without regard to the cyclical fluctuation of the market. As such, the market approach is not adopted for this valuation.

Accordingly, the asset-based approach and the income approach have been selected for this valuation.

– 91 –

I) Asset-Based Approach

The asset-based approach, which is a method for appraising enterprise values, refers to the method for determining the value of the appraised entity based on the reasonable valuation of the value of assets and liabilities of an enterprise on the basis of the balance sheet of the appraised entity as of the valuation base date. The process of valuation of different types of assets and liabilities is as follows:

1. Valuation of Current Assets and Liabilities

Current assets of the appraised entity include cash and cash equivalent, inventories and other current assets; while liabilities include short term borrowings, accounts payable, receipts in advance and other payables.

  • (1) Cash and cash equivalent: includes bank deposits. The appraised value of which was determined as the verified book value which was arrived at after the verification of bank reconciliation statements, bank confirmations.

  • (2) Inventories

Purchased inventories: refer to raw materials and materials in transit at the warehouse. Its appraised value shall be calculated by adding the prevailing market prices with reasonable freight and miscellaneous charges, then deducting relevant wear and tear. The raw materials and those materials in transit at the warehouse included in this valuation are the inventories newly purchased as at the valuation base date. The book value is recognized as the appraised value after the valuers confirm the correctness of quantities and fairness of unit prices on the books.

Finished goods: all finished goods were newly purchased from Far East Optoelectronics Company Limited* (遠東光電股份有限 公司) at the end of October 2016. The book value is recognized as the appraised value after the valuers confirm the correctness of quantities and fairness of unit prices on the books.

– 92 –

  • (3) Other current assets: On the basis of verifying correctness, the valuers verified the company’s tax forms by checking the tax types, tax rates, tax amounts and payment rates applicable to the enterprise, and ascertained the correctness and truthfulness of the amounts declared by reviewing the tax vouchers. As verified, the tax amounts are consistent with those declared. Therefore, the book value after verification is recognised as the appraised value.

  • (4) Liabilities: the appraised value of liabilities shall be determined based on the liability items and amounts actually to be assumed by the appraised entities (realized based on the valuation purpose) provided that such liabilities were duly checked and verified. Those liability items not actually to be assumed shall be calculated as zero.

2. Valuation of buildings and structures

Given the specific purpose of this valuation and the characteristics of each building to be valued, the cost method was adopted for valuation of building assets based on their different functions, structural characteristics and nature of use.

Appraised value = full replacement price (tax exclusive) × newness rate

(1) Full replacement price

Full replacement = construction and installation cost + price (tax preliminary cost and other cost + capital exclusive) cost – value-added tax deductible

  • A. Construction and installation cost

As for buildings and structures with higher value, the valuers select typical projects in accordance with the specific conditions of the appraised buildings and collect information including final account for completion, completion acceptance, and construction drawings of the typical projects to verify the construction workload. Cost of civil projects and various installation costs, and in turn the total construction and installation cost are calculated under the local quota standard and relevant charging document. The construction and installation cost for low-valued and simple buildings and structures is calculated by the per-squaremeter cost method. For buildings lacking final accounts for completion or other information, the construction and installation cost is calculated through the re-budgeting

– 93 –

method or the comparison approach to adjust and confirm the direct expenses. The construction cost of each of the major and typical buildings as at valuation base date is calculated in accordance with Jiangsu Construction and Decoration Project Pricing Quota (2014)(《江蘇省建築與裝飾工程計價定額 (2014)》), Jiangsu Installation Project Pricing Quota (2014) (《江蘇省安裝工程計價定額(2014)》), Jiangsu Province Construction Project Charge Quota (2014)(《江蘇省建設工 程費用定額(2014)》), Notice of Jiangsu Housing&UrbanRural Development Department on the Adjustment of the Prevailing Basis of Computing Construction Prices in Jiangsu Province to Implement Value-added Tax and to Replace Business Tax in the Construction Industry (Su Jian Jia (2016) No. 154) (《省住房城鄉建設廳關於建築業實施營改增後江 蘇省建設工程計價依據調整的通知》(蘇建價[2016]154號)) and Circular of Jiangsu Housing & Urban-Rural Development Department on Unit Labor Cost of Construction Work (Su Jian Han Jia (2016) No. 570) (《省住房城鄉建設廳關於發佈 建設工程人工工資指導價的通知》(蘇建函價[2016]570號), and other relevant charging standards and price adjustment documents as well as with Information on Construction Project Cost of Wuxi (無錫市建設工程造價信息) on the valuation base date.

B. Preliminary cost and construction-related expenses

Preliminary cost and other cost include management cost of the contractor, cost of feasibility research, cost of engineering investigation and design and cost of construction supervision. Preliminary cost and other cost are determined in accordance with industrial standards and the charging regulation of the relevant national authorities.

C. Capital cost

Capital cost: capital cost refers to the loan interest of the construction investment during the construction period, interest rate adopted in the calculation is the interest rate released by the People’s Bank of China on the valuation base date and a construction period is based on the normal work cycles, assuming capital will be equally injected:

– 94 –

Capital cost

  • = (construction and installation cost + preliminary cost and other cost) × reasonable construction period × loan interest × 50%

D. Value-added tax deductible

The value-added tax valuation method was adopted for calculation of the construction and installation cost of buildings to be valuated, the corresponding value-added tax deductible was calculated at the rate of 11%; for preliminary cost (other than management cost of the contractor which are not deductible), the value-added tax deductible will be calculated at the rate of 6%.

Value-added tax = total construction and installation deductible cost/1.11×11% + preliminary cost (other than management cost of the contractor)/1.06 × 6%

(2) Determination of Newness rate

The method used to calculate the newness rate of buildings and structures varies with their types and value. For important and high-valued buildings and structures, the calculation adopts the comprehensive newness rate approach which uses both the inspected newness rate and the theoretical newness rate for calculation. The comprehensive newness rate is the weighted average of the two results. For common buildings and structures, life-based method is used and adjustment will be made depending on the specific inspection situation.

Calculation formula:

Newness rate = inspected newness rate × 0.6 + theoretical newness rate × 0.4

– 95 –

Inspected newness rate

There are three major factors that can affect the newness rate of a building (structure, decoration and equipment). A standard score is given to each factor based on its impact on the construction cost of the buildings and structures. Separate score based on inspection conditions are used to calculate the inspected newness rate.

Calculation of theoretical newness rate

Theoretical = (1 – life in use/economic useful life) × newness rate 100%

  • (3) Determination of appraised value

= Appraised value full replacement price (tax exclusive) × newness rate

3. Valuation of equipment

Valuation of machineries and equipment mainly adopts the cost method, which is used to determine the appraised value of machineries and equipment through estimating the updated replacement cost of brand new machineries and equipment, with the deduction of the actual depreciation, functional depreciation, and economic depreciation or on the basis of its determined comprehensive newness rate. The calculation formula adopted in the valuation is as follows:

= Appraised value full replacement price × newness rate

In which: replacement value of equipment generally consists of all reasonable direct and indirect costs required for repurchasing or constructing brand new assets of the same functions with the appraised entity, such as purchase price, transportation and miscellaneous cost, equipment foundation cost, installation and testing cost, preliminary cost and other cost as well as capital cost.

Pursuant to the “Provisional Regulations of the PRC on Value-Added Tax (中華人民共和國增值稅暫行條例)” (Order No. 538 of the State Council of the PRC), starting from 1 January 2009, companies in relevant industries shall adopt consumption value-added tax system to replace production value-added tax system. Under the new system, value-added tax contained in the fixed assets purchased by a company

– 96 –

will be deductible in the incremental value-added tax paid for the sale of the company’s products or can be carried forward to next year if not deductible in current year. Therefore, the full replacement price is calculated based on the tax exclusive price in this valuation.

Valuation of machineries and equipment

  • (1) Determination of full replacement price of machineries and equipment

= Full replacement p u r c h a s e p r i c e o f e q u i p m e n t + price transportation and miscellaneous cost + equipment foundation cost + installation and testing cost + preliminary and other costs + capital cost – input value-added tax deductible

For separately-purchased small equipment and equipment not requiring installation, full replacement price = purchase price of equipment + transportation and miscellaneous cost – input valueadded tax deductible. If transportation and miscellaneous cost and installation cost are contained in purchase price of equipment, the replacement value equals the purchase price (tax exclusive).

  • A. Purchase price of equipment

Purchase price of equipment still in circulation on the market is determined directly by its prevailing market price; for equipment that is obsolete, with discontinued production or not in circulation in the market, the purchase price of the equipment to be appraised is analyzed and determined after taking into comprehensive consideration of the differences in performance, technical parameters and useful functions relative to similar equipment.

B. Transportation and miscellaneous cost

Transportation and miscellaneous cost of domestic equipment refers to transportation cost incurred from the place of production or distribution to the installation site of equipment. In this valuation, transportation and miscellaneous cost is calculated by different rates depending on the distance between the manufacturer and the location of the equipment as well as the equipment’s weight, shape and size.

– 97 –

C. Equipment foundation cost

The equipment foundation cost is calculated by different installation rates depending on the features of the equipment on the basis of the purchase price and with reference to the Methods for Preparation of Estimates of Construction Projects and Indexes for Estimates in the Machinery Industry (機器工業建設項目概算編制辦法及各項概算指標), but it is no longer considered in the calculation of full replacement price of equipment if separate equipment foundation is not needed or unified foundations have been built when constructing the factories.

D. Installation and testing cost

The charge is calculated on the basis of the purchase price on different installation rates depending on the features, weights and difficulty in installation of the equipment.

For small equipment not requiring installation, installation and testing cost shall not be considered.

E. Preliminary and other costs

Preliminary and other costs include management cost of the contractor, cost of engineering surveying and design, cost of construction supervision, management cost of bidding, preliminary consultation cost of construction project and environmental evaluation cost.

The calculation method is to multiply the project cost or purchase price of equipment by corresponding rates which are calculated under the regulations in Charging Standards for Project Investigation (工程勘察取費標準) (Fa Gai Jia Ge [2007] No. 670) issued by National Development and Reform Commission and Ministry of Construction, Charging Standards for Project Design (工程設計取費標準) (Ji Jia Ge [2002] No. 10), Charging Standards for Bidding Agency (招 標代理取費標準) (Ji Jia Ge [2002] No. 1980) and Document (Ji Jia Ge [2002] No. 125) issued by State Planning Commission and Ministry of Construction. Preliminary and other cost are not considered in this valuation.

– 98 –

F. Capital cost

The capital cost was calculated evenly over the construction period according to the reasonable construction period of the project and based on the loan interest rate applicable on the valuation base date. For large and medium-sized equipment with a reasonable construction period of more than 6 months, the capital cost shall be calculated according to the following formula:

  • =

  • Capital cost (purchase price of equipment + Transportation and miscellaneous cost + Installation and testing cost + foundation cost + other cost) ×loan interest rate × construction period × 1/2

The construction period is calculated based on normal construction cycles, assuming capital will be equally injected.

The corresponding loan interest rate shall be determined in accordance with the length of reasonable construction period.

  • (2) Determination of comprehensive newness rate

  • A. For large and key equipment, the newness rate was determined based on both the inspected newness rate and the theoretical newness rate according to the weight:

    • =

    • Comprehensive inspected newness rate × 0.6 + newness rate theoretical newness rate × 0.4

    • ① Inspected newness rate

The Inspected newness rate is determined mainly according to the actual conditions of the equipment of the enterprise, by on-site inspection and scoring various aspects of the equipment one by one, including technical conditions, the operating circumstance thereunder and maintenance of the equipment.

– 99 –

② Theoretical newness rate

Theoretical newness rate is determined by reference to the economic service life (or remaining service life) and the serviced life of the equipment.

Theoretical = (economic service life – serviced life)/ newness economic service life × 100% rate

For equipment whose serviced life were longer than the economic service life, the following formula was applied:

Theoretical = remaining service life/(serviced life + newness remaining service life) × 100% rate

  • B. For equipment of lower value with light and simple structure and normal use, the newness rate was determined by means of service life approach based on the service time with consideration of its maintenance condition.

  • (3) Calculation of the appraised value

= The appraised full replacement price × comprehensive value newness rate

Valuation of Electronic and Office Equipment

  • (1) Determination of full replacement price for electronic equipment

Electronic equipment represents mostly office equipment of the enterprise such as air conditioners, TV sets, computerbased printing and invoicing system, water heaters, viscometers, computers and others. The distributors of the electronic equipment undertake the delivery, installation and setup of such equipment. Their replacement cost are determined by direct reference to their purchase price (tax exclusive).

  • (2) Determination of newness rate

For electronic and office equipment, the comprehensive newness rate is determined mainly according to the economic service life. For large electronic equipment, when determining the newness rate, the valuers also comprehensively consider other factors

– 100 –

including the work environment surrounding the equipment and the operating conditions of the equipment.

(3) Determination of appraised value

Appraised value = full replacement price × newness rate

4. Intangible assets – valuation of land use rights

The approach applicable for valuation of the land use right of the valuation target is selected upon analysis according to the features and specific conditions of the valuation target and actual conditions of the project, in accordance with the “Regulations for Valuation of Urban Lands (《城鎮土地估價規程》)” and in view of the land market in the regions where the valuation target is located and the relevant information gathered by the land valuers.

According to the “Regulations for Valuation of Urban Lands (《城鎮土 地估價規程》)”, the valuation approaches include market comparison approach, income capitalization approach, residual approach, cost approximation approach and standard floor-price coefficient correction approach. Technical specifications for land price valuation shall be observed in selecting a valuation approach and a proper one will be determined in the light of the respective applicability and practicality of each approach and in consideration of the detailed features and valuation purposes. Therefore, upon the on-site survey by the valuers, based on the features of the valuation target, the valuation purpose, the region where the land parcel is located and other conditions, standard floor-price coefficient correction approach and market comparison approach were adopted in this valuation to calculate the price of the land parcel entrusted for valuation.

5. Valuation of project under construction

As the project under construction entrusted for valuation was the contribution to CNBM (Yixing) New Energy Company Limited by Far East Optoelectronics Company Limited in the form of a package comprising the photovoltaic glass production line and its corresponding complementary assets and liabilities as at 28 October 2016, Zhongjing

– 101 –

Minxin (Beijing) Assets Evaluation Co., Ltd. (中京民信(北京) 資產評估有限公司) had valuated such physical assets and issued the Jing Xin Ping Bao Zi (2016) No. 276 Valuation Report (京信評報字 (2016)第276號評估報告), and the valuation base date of which was 30 April 2016. Such valuation report had been filed with China National Building Material Group Corporation and the financial personnel of CNBM (Yixing) New Energy Company Limited had recorded the corresponding book value based on the appraised value therein.

The equipment charges and capital cost under the project under construction were calculated again in this valuation.

II) Income Approach

The discounted cash flow (DCF) approach has been adopted for this income approach valuation, while free cashflow of the entity has been selected. The value of the entire equity interests is obtained indirectly through the valuation of the overall value of the entity.

This valuation is based on free net cashflow of the entity for certain years in the future. The value of overall operating assets of the entity, calculated through adding up the discounted values with the adoption of an appropriate discount rate, is added to surplus assets and non-operating assets less interest-bearing liabilities in order to derive the value of the entire equity interests.

1. Valuation model

DCF approach has been adopted for this valuation, i.e. the free cashflow of the entity is the quantitative indicator for the expected income of the entity, and the corresponding Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) model has been adopted for calculating the discount rate.

2. Calculation formula

E = V – D Formula 1 V = P + C1 + C2 + E[’] Formula 2

– 102 –

In the above formulas:

  • E: Value of the entire equity interests;

  • V: Value of entity;

  • D: Appraised value of interest-bearing liabilities;

  • P: Appraised value of operating assets;

  • C1: Appraised value of surplus assets;

  • C2: Appraised value of non-operating assets;

  • E’: Appraised value of long-term equity investment.

In which, P, the appraised value of operating assets in Formula 2, is calculated with the formula as follows:

==> picture [372 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

The first half of the above formula is the value of explicit forecast period while the other half is the value of perpetual period (final value)

In Formula 3:

  • Rt: Free cashflow of entity of the t-th explicit forecast period;

  • t: Number of explicit forecast period 1, 2, 3,..., n;

  • r: Discount rate;

  • Rn+1: Free cashflow of entity in perpetual period;

  • g: Growth rate of perpetual period, g = 0 in this valuation;

  • n: The last year of explicit forecast period.

3. Determination of income period

Income period in appraising enterprise value normally refers to the number of years in the future in which the enterprise can obtain income. To derive a reasonable forecast of future income, the income period of an enterprise can be categorised as definite and indefinite according to the characteristics of production and operation of an enterprise and relevant laws, regulations, contracts and agreements.

4. Determination of expected income

Free cashflow of entity is taken as the quantitative indicator of the expected income of the entity in this valuation.

Free cashflow of entity refers to the total of all cashflow after payment of operating expenses and income tax and before cash payment to those who claim against the company. Its calculation formula is as follows:

– 103 –

Free cashflow of = net profit after tax + depreciation and entity amortisation + interest expense × (1 – tax rate T) – capital expenditure – working capital movement.

5. Determination of discount rate

There are various methods and ways to determine discount rate. Based on the principle of consistency between income amount and discount rate, the income amount is valued using the free cashflow of the entity in this valuation, and thus the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is selected to determine the discount rate.

6. Determination of value of interest-bearing liabilities

The interest-bearing liabilities include long-term and short-term borrowings of the enterprise, which are determined based on the market value.

7. Determination of value of surplus assets and non-operating assets

Surplus assets refer to assets that are not directly related to the income of the enterprise and in excess of the amount needed to operate such enterprise, which generally refer to excess cash and cash equivalent and financial assets held for trading, etc. Non-operating assets refer to assets that are not directly related to the income of the enterprise and not profit-generating. Separate valuation is carried out for such assets.

(II) The valuation conclusion based on the income approach

Upon valuation based on the income approach, the value of the entire equity interest in CNBM (Yixing) New Energy Company Limited* was RMB345,238,300, representing an appreciation of RMB24,761,500 or 7.73%.

(III) Finalization of the valuation results

The asset-based approach, which appraises the fair market value of the assets from the perspective of the asset replacement, can only reflect the intrinsic value of assets of the entity, and cannot fully and reasonably demonstrate the comprehensive profitability of various assets and corporate growth. It also cannot cover the value of the intangible assets, including contract performance, customer resources, patents, goodwill and human resources.

The income approach, which appraises the corporate value by discounting the expected income, takes account of not only the assets measured based on the accounting principles, but also the resources actually possessed or controlled by the entity which cannot be presented in the balance sheets, which include contract performance, customer resources, sales network, potential projects, corporate qualifications, human resources and strong R&D capability, while the contribution arising from the above resources is reflected in the net cash flow of the entity. Therefore, the valuation conclusion arrived at by using the income approach can better demonstrate the overall growth and profitability of the entity.

– 111 –

We believe that the asset value is normally not based on the costs for re- acquisition and re-construction of such assets but the expectation for future income by market participants. Upon investigation on the financial position of the appraised entity and analysis on the operation situation, and considering the appraised entity, valuation purpose and applicable value types, the valuers, after comparison and analysis, are of opinion that the valuation conclusion based on the income approach can reflect the embedded value of the entity more comprehensively and reasonably. As such, the valuation results arrived at using the income approach were adopted as the final valuation conclusion.

(IV) Finalisation of the valuation results

Upon valuation and under the assumptions of this report, the market value of the entire equity interest in CNBM (Yixing) New Energy Company Limited* was RMB345,238,300 (RMB Three Hundred and Forty-five Million, Two Hundred and Thirty-eight Thousand and Three Hundred) as at 31 October 2016, the valuation base date.

XI. NOTES ON SPECIAL ISSUES

The valuation and estimation of the following matters are beyond the practicing capacity and capability of our company’s valuers. However, these issues may actually affect the valuation conclusion. Thus, users of this valuation report should pay particular attention to the followings:

  • (I) The “appraised value” referred to herein is a fair valuation presented for the purpose set out expressly herein on the assumption that the assets entrusted for valuation maintain their uses on a going concern basis with conditions and external economic environments on the valuation base date, which shall bear no liability for any other purposes.

  • (II) The valuation conclusion in the report reflects the fair value of the appraised entity for the purpose of the valuation set out herein under the principle of an open market, and does not include any fees or taxes that shall be borne in the ownership registration or change of such assets or makes no tax adjustments for the value addition of the assets valuation. The valuation conclusion shall not be deemed as a guaranteed realizable price of the appraised entity.

  • (III) Premiums or discounts caused by factors such as controlling interest and minority interest have not been taken into consideration in the valuation results, nor has the effect of the liquidity of the equity interest entrusted for valuation on the valuation results.

– 112 –

  • (IV) Where there are any changes in the number of assets and price standards within the effective term after the valuation base date and up to 30 October 2017, proper adjustments shall be made to the valuation conclusion instead of direct utilisation.

  • (V) References to reports issued by other institutions:

None.

  • (VI) Limitations on the valuation procedures:

  • I) In this valuation, the asset valuers did not conduct any technical testing for all kinds of equipment in respect of their technology parameters and performance as at the valuation base date, and only make conclusions through on-site inspection on the assumption that all related technical information and the track records provided by the appraised entity are true and valid.

  • II) In this valuation, the asset valuers did not conduct any technical testing for various buildings (structures) in respect of their concealed works and internal structure (other than the observable parts with unaided eyes). The valuation conclusion on buildings is made through onsite survey without any testing instrument aid and assuming that the relevant construction information provided by the appraised entity is true and valid.

(VII) Others

  • (1) On 28 October 2016, Far East Optoelectronics Company Limited made a contribution to CNBM (Yixing) New Energy Company Limited by way of a package including the photovoltaic glass production lines and corresponding complementary assets and liabilities. The physical assets have been appraised by Zhongjing Minxin (Beijing) Assets Evaluation Co., Ltd.* (中京民信(北京)資產評估有限公司) which issued the valuation report (Jing Xin Ping Bao Zi (2016) No. 276) with the valuation base date being 30 April 2016.

The appraised entity undertakes that such buildings are actually possessed, controlled and utilized by itself and are free from any legal dispute as of 31 October 2016, the valuation base date. In the event of any real estate dispute derived from relevant property right and land use right of lands occupied by relevant buildings as well as any corresponding legal consequence, all liabilities shall be assumed by the appraised entity and not be related to the valuation institution.

The following is the text of a report received from the reporting accountant of the Company, WUYIGE Certified Public Accountants LLP, addressed to the Directors and for the sole purpose of inclusion in this announcement.

7 August 2017

The Board of Directors No. 9 Tang Gong Zhong Lu Xigong District Luoyang Municipal Henan Province The PRC

Report on the discounted future cash flows and profit guarantee figures in connection with the business valuations of (1) CNBM (Hefei) New Energy Company Limited (中建材(合肥)新能源有限公司) (“Hefei New Energy”); (2) CNBM (Tongcheng) New Energy Company Limited (中國建材桐城新能 源材料有限公司) (“Tongcheng New Energy”); and (3) CNBM (Yixing) New Energy Company Limited* (中建材(宜興)新能源有限公司) (“Yixing New Energy”)

To the Board of Directors of Luoyang Glass Company Limited (the “ Company ”)

We have reviewed the accounting policies adopted and arithmetical calculations of (i) the discounted future estimated cash flows; and (ii) the profit guarantee amounts of (a) Hefei New Energy; (b) Tongcheng New Energy; and (c) Yixing New Energy for the financial years ending 31 December 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 (the “ Profit Guarantee Figures ”), on which the valuation (the “ Valuation ”) prepared by Beijing Pan-China Assets Appraisal Co. Ltd. (北京天健興業資產 評估有限公司) dated 10 April 2017 in respect of the three target companies, namely, Hefei New Energy, Tongcheng New Energy, and Yixing New Energy (the “ Target Companies ”) as at 31 October 2016 is based. The Target Companies were incorporated in the PRC with limited liability. The Valuation is prepared based in part on the discounted future cash flows and is regarded as a profit forecast under paragraph 14.61 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Listing Rules ”) and Rule 11.1(a) of the Code on Takeovers and Mergers issued by the Securities and Futures Commission (the “ Takeovers Code ”). We also understand that the Profit Guarantee Figures are required to be reported on under Rule 10 of the Takeovers Code.

– 117 –

Directors’ Responsibilities for the Discounted Future Estimated Cash Flows and the Profit Guarantee Figures

The directors of the Company (the “ Directors ”) are responsible for the preparation of the discounted future estimated cash flows and the Profit Guarantee Figures in accordance with the accounting policies, bases and assumptions determined by the Directors and as set out in the Valuation (the “ Assumptions ”). This responsibility includes carrying out appropriate procedures relevant to the preparation of the discounted future estimated cash flows and the Profit Guarantee Figures for the Valuation and applying an appropriate basis of preparation, and making estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Reporting Accountants’ Responsibilities

It is our responsibility to form an opinion on the accounting policies and arithmetical accuracy of the calculations of the discounted future estimated cash flows and the Profit Guarantee Figures on which the Valuation is based and to report solely to the Directors as required by Rule 14.62(2) of the Listing Rules and Rule 10.3(b) of the Takeovers Code, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

Our engagement was conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000, “Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information”. We examined the consistency of accounting policies adopted and the arithmetical accuracy of the discounted future estimated cash flows and the Profit Guarantee Figures under the Valuation. Our work has been undertaken solely to assist the Directors in evaluating whether the Assumptions, so far as the accounting policies and calculations are concerned, has been properly compiled in accordance with the Assumptions made by the Directors. We have re-performed the arithmetical calculations and compared the compilation of the discounted future cash flows and the Profit Guarantee Figures with the bases and assumptions.

We are not reporting on the appropriateness and validity of the bases and assumptions on which the discounted future cash flows and the Profit Guarantee Figures are based and our work does not constitute any valuation of the Target Companies or an expression of an audit or review opinion on the Valuation.

The Assumptions include hypothetical assumptions about future events and management actions which cannot be confirmed and verified in the same way as past results and these may or may not occur. Even if the events and actions anticipated do occur, actual results are still likely to be different from the Valuation and the variation may be material. Accordingly, we have not reviewed, considered or conducted any work on the reasonableness and validity of the Assumptions and do not express any opinion whatsoever thereon.

– 118 –

Opinion

Based on the foregoing, in our opinion, the discounted future cash flows and the Profit Guarantee Figures, so far as the accounting policies and arithmetical calculations are concerned, have been properly compiled in all material respects, in accordance with the Assumptions.
