INTRODUCTION

The 15th meeting of the 5th Board of the Company was held at the conference room of the Company at No. 9 Tang Gong Zhong Lu, Xigong District, Luoyang, Henan Province, the PRC at 10:00 a.m. on 22 October 2007. 11 out of the 11 eligible Directors attended the meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the entering

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

into of two connected transaction agreements: (1) the acquisition of a 50% equity interest in Longxin Glass at a consideration of RMB35,000,000 and (2) the disposal of a 100% equity interest in Logistics Company at a consideration of RMB 70,363,714. The Directors, Mr. Zhu Leibo and Mr. Shen Anqin, have abstained from voting as Mr. Zhu is the general manager of CLFG and Mr. Shen is a director of CLFG. The remaining 9 Directors voted and approved unanimously the above two connected transaction agreements. Mr. Zhu Leibo, the Chairman of the Company, was authorised to sign these two agreements.

The Board believed that the acquisition of a 50% equity interest in Longxin Glass will result in the Company participating in the business of Longxin Glass directly and removing CLFG’s shareholding in Longxin Glass. The competing interest between CLFG and the Company will be eliminated. Further, in view of the comprehensive equipment and production lines of Longxin Glass, it will enhance the Group’s market position in the glass industry. Logistics Company holds cash and a piece of land. It has not carried out any operations. The disposal of Logistics Company represents a good opportunity for the Company to realise the land at a reasonable price and the proceeds obtained will improve the financial position and liquidity of the Company.

On 22 October 2007, the Company and CLFG entered into the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement and the Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement. Under the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire a 50% equity interest in Longxin Glass from CLFG at a consideration of RMB35,000,000 (approximately HK$36,144,500). Pursuant to the Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement, the Company agreed to sell a 100% equity interest in Logistics Company to CLFG at a consideration of RMB70,363,714 (approximately HK$72,664,607).

As CLFG is the controlling shareholder of the Company holding a 35.8% equity interest in the Company, the transactions contemplated under the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement and the Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement constitute connected transactions of the Company under the Listing Rules and the Listing Rules of Shanghai Stock Exchange for Securities. According to the Listing Rules and Rule 10.25 of the Listing Rules of Shanghai Stock Exchange for Securities, each of the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement and the Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement will be subject to the Independent Shareholders’ approval at the EGM. Furthermore, each of the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement and the Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement is subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements, including the appointment of an independent financial adviser, under the Listing Rules. Further, as the relevant percentage ratios are more than 5% but less than 25%, the transaction contemplated under the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement constitutes a discloseable transaction under Rule 14.06(2) of the Listing Rules.

The purpose of this circular is to give you, amongst other things, (i) further details of the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement and the Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement; (ii) the letter of advice from the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders; (iii) the letter of advice from Access Capital to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders and (iii) a notice of EGM for the purpose of approving the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement and the Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

Set out below is a summary of the principal terms of the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement and the Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement.

LONGXIN GLASS SHARE TRANSFER AGREEMENT

Date

  • 22 October 2007

Parties

  • (A) CLFG:

the controlling shareholder of the Company holding a 35.8% equity interest in the Company, thus a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules.

  • (B) Company

Details of the transaction

Pursuant to the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement, CLFG has agreed to sell its 50% equity interest in Longxin Glass to the Company at a consideration of RMB35,000,000 (approximately HK$36,144,500), which is to be satisfied by the Company wholly in cash.

Upon completion of this transaction, the Company will own a 50% equity interest in Longxin Glass. The other 50% equity interest in Longxin Glass will continue to be owned by Xinan Fada, an Independent Third Party.

Consideration

The consideration amounting to RMB35,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$36,144,500) was determined by the Company and CLFG after arm’s length negotiations with reference to the audited net asset value of Longxin Glass as at 31 August 2007, the financial position of Longxin Glass, the economic benefits to the Company after completion of the transaction which will be further elaborated in the section “Reasons and benefits of the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement” below, and the appraised value of approximately RMB80,755,000 by a PRC qualified surveyor, which is an independent third party to the Company and CLFG. The consideration of RMB35,000,000 represents a premium of approximately 4% of the attributable interest of Longxin Glass’ audited net asset value of approximately RMB33,536,000 as at 31 August 2007 and represents a discount of approximately 13% of the attributable appraised value of approximately RMB40,377,500.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The PRC auditor of the Company, Guangdong Hengxin Delu Certified Public Accountants Company Limited has issued an auditors’ report on Longxin Glass with the following “Emphasis of Matters”:

“We would like to draw your attention that as mentioned in Note 2 to this report, the financial statement of Longxin Glass has been prepared on a going concern basis assuming that Longxin Glass will remain in business in the current and the next financial year. As at 31 August 2007, Longxin Glass had an accumulated loss of RMB25,628,000 and had an overdue current loan of RMB38,718,000. As at 31 August 2007, Longxin Glass’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by RMB115,521,000. Longxin Glass has disclosed in Note 2 to this report its basis why this report should be prepared on a going concern basis notwithstanding the fundamental uncertainties underlying the going concern assumption. This paragraph does not affect our opinion on the financial statement of Longxin Glass.”

Note 2 to the above auditors’ report sets out the following:

“Notwithstanding that as at 31 August 2007, Longxin Glass had an accumulated loss of RMB25,628,000 and had an overdue current loan of RMB38,718,000 and Longxin Glass’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by RMB115,521,000, the directors of Longxin Glass are of the opinion that Longxin Glass should continue as a going concern and repay its debts when they become due on the following basis:

  • (i) Longxin Glass has obtained consents from the relevant financial institutes to renew the revolving credit facilities with an aggregate credit limit of RMB29,000,000 upon expiry in the next financial year; and

  • (ii) Longxin Glass will continue to be supported financially by CLFG, the ultimate shareholder.

The directors of Longxin Glass are of the opinion that Longxin Glass will have adequate liquidity to meet its future working capital and other operational needs. Therefore, this report is prepared on a going concern basis.”

Upon fulfillment of the conditions set out below, the consideration of RMB35,000,000 will be paid by the Company on or before 31 December 2007.

Based on the above reasons and taking into account of the matters relating to “Emphasis of Matters” set out above, the Board considers that the consideration is fair and reasonable and in the interests of both the Company and the Shareholders.

The consideration will be funded by internal resources of the Company and will be satisfied by the Company wholly in cash. The Company is contemplating a disposal under the Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement which will generate net proceeds of approximately RMB66,662,000 as further detailed below. These two agreements are not inter-conditional and even if the disposal of Logistics Company does not proceed, the Company has sufficient funds to satisfy the consideration for the Longxin Share Transfer Agreement out of its internal resources.

REASONS AND BENEFITS OF THE LONGXIN GLASS SHARE TRANSFER AGREEMENT

The Company is principally engaged in the production and sale of float flat glass and reprocessed automobile glass. Longxin Glass is engaged in a similar line of business. The acquisition of a 50% equity interest in Longxin Glass from CLFG will result in the Company participating in the business of Longxin Glass directly and removing CLFG’s shareholding in Longxin Glass. The competing interest between CLFG and the Company will be eliminated. Further, in view of the comprehensive equipment and production lines of Longxin Glass, it will enhance the Group’s market position in the glass industry.

In light of the basis of the consideration and the reasons and benefits resulting from the acquisition, the Directors consider that the transaction contemplated under the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement is on normal commercial terms and is fair and reasonable and in the interests of both the Company and its Shareholders.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE LONGXIN GLASS SHARE TRANSFER AGREEMENT

Effect on earnings

Longxin Glass’s audited profit after taxation amounted to approximately RMB9.6 million (approximately HK$9.9 million) for the eight months ended 31 August 2007.

Upon completion of the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement, Longxin Glass will be equity accounted for as an associate of the Company. Assuming the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement is approved by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM on 18 December 2007 and completion takes place on or before 31 December 2007, the Board expects that the contribution from Longxin Glass on the Group’s earnings for the year ending 31 December 2007 will be positive and immaterial.

— 6 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Effect on assets and liabilities

Since the consideration will be satisfied by internal resources of the Group, the Board expects that there will be no material effect on the consolidated total assets, total liabilities and net asset value of the Group upon completion of the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement although the Group’s cash and cash equivalent balances will be decreased to the extent of the consideration of RMB35,000,000.

After completion of the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement, the Company’s 50% equity interest in Longxin Glass will be equity accounted for and will be represented by a separate item under “Interest in associate(s)” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Therefore, there is no impact on the total liabilities of the Group as a result of the completion of the transaction contemplated under the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement.

The consideration represents approximately a 4% premium over the audited net asset value of the attributable interest in Longxin Glass and the Company will only account for 50% of Longxin Glass’ net asset value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INFORMATION RELATING TO LOGISTICS COMPANY

Logistics Company was incorporated in the PRC on 14 October 2007 and is decided to engage in warehousing storage (excluding dangerous goods), allocation and transportation of goods, logistics information services, consultation of logistic system design, consultation services of glass processing technology, sale of glass and related raw materials, steels, building materials and metals in the PRC. The registered capital of Logistics Company is RMB10,000,000. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Logistics Company holds cash and a piece of land (“Land”). The Land occupies an area of approximately 8.0 hectares located to the east of the Company’s factory area.

In preparation of the incorporation of the Logistics Company, the Company has commissioned an independent appraisal of the Land which valued the land at RMB67,363,714 on 8 October 2007. Under a separate audit work performed on Logistics Company prepared under the PRC Accounting Rules and Regulations, as at 19 October 2007, the audited net asset value of Logistics Company was RMB70,351,000.

REASONS AND BENEFITS OF THE LOGISTICS COMPANY SHARE TRANSFER AGREEMENT AND APPLICATION OF THE SALE PROCEEDS

As mentioned above, Logistics Company holds cash and the Land only. The Logistics Company is newly set up and has not carried out any operations. The Company does not have any specific plan regarding the Land. After due and careful consideration, the Directors believe that the disposal of Logistics Company represents a good opportunity for the Company to realise the Land at a reasonable price and the proceeds obtained will enhance the financial position and liquidity of the Company.

The Land was acquired by the Company in 1994 at approximately RMB17,697,000 and its carrying value was approximately RMB12,978,000 as at 31 August 2007. The Company’s total cost of investment in Logistics Company is approximately RMB15,978,000 comprising RMB3,000,000 cash and the Land. Upon disposal of Logistics Company, the Company will realise a gain of approximately RMB50,685,000, which is the difference between the consideration of RMB70,363,714 and the total of the Company’s total investment cost of approximately RMB15,978,000, business tax of approximately RMB2,991,000 (being 5.5% of the gross gain of RMB54,385,714) and a transaction levy of approximately RMB710,000. Given Logistics Company was established on 14 October 2007 and has no and will not have any operation by year end, the investment in Logistics Company by year end will only reflect the cost of investment of approximately RMB15,978,000 in the financial statements as at 31 December 2007. Accordingly, in the event that completion of the Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement takes place in 2007, such gain on disposal of approximately RMB50,685,000 will be reflected in the financial statements of the Company for the year ending 31 December 2007. The auditors of the Company has verbally confirmed that the calculation and the accounting treatment of the gain on disposal of approximately RMB50,685,000 are acceptable under International Financial Reporting Standards.

— 10 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Given the reasons mentioned above, the Directors consider that the transaction contemplated under the Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement is on normal commercial terms and is fair and reasonable and in the interests of both the Company and its Shareholders.

The disposal of Logistics Company will generate net proceeds of approximately RMB66,662,000, of which RMB35,000,000 will be used to fund the consideration of the transaction under the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement as mentioned above and the balance will be used to expand the general working capital and production capacity of the Group. The Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement and the Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement are not inter-conditional and even if the disposal of Logistics Company does not proceed, the Company has sufficient funds to satisfy the consideration for the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement out of its internal resources. In the event that the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement does not proceed, all proceeds generated from the disposal of Logistics Company will be used as general working capital of the Group.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE LOGISTICS COMPANY SHARE TRANSFER AGREEMENT

Effect on earnings

As Logistics Company holds cash and the Land only and has not carried out any operations, there will be no impact on the earnings of the Group upon completion of the Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement except for a gain on disposal of approximately RMB50,685,000 to be recognised by the Group.

Effect on assets and liabilities

The expected recognition of the gain on disposal of approximately RMB50,685,000 would have positive effects on the total asset and the net asset value of the Group. The disposal of Logistics Company will generate net proceeds of approximately RMB66,662,000 and accordingly the Group’s cash and cash equivalent balances will increase by the same amount.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As CLFG is a controlling shareholder of the Company holding a 35.8% equity interest in the Company, CLFG is a connected person of the Company. The transaction contemplated under the Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and the Listing Rules of Shanghai Stock Exchange for Securities. According to the Listing Rules and Rule 10.25 of the Listing Rules of Shanghai Stock Exchange for Securities, the Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement will be subject to the Independent Shareholders’ approval at the EGM.

LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL

III. BASIS AND ASSUMPTIONS OF THE ADVICE

In formulating our advice, we have relied solely on the statements, information, opinions and representations for matters relating to the Group contained in the Circular and the information and representations provided to us by the Company and/or its senior management staff and/or the Directors. We have assumed that all such statements, information, opinions and representations for matters relating to the Group contained or referred to in the Circular or otherwise provided or made or given by the Company and/or its senior management staff and/or the Directors and for which it is/they are solely responsible were true and accurate and valid at the time they were made and given and continue to be true and valid as at the date of the Circular. We have assumed that all the opinions and representations for matters relating to the Group made or provided by the Directors and/or the senior management staff of the Company contained in the Circular have been reasonably made after due and careful enquiry. We have also sought and obtained confirmation from the Company and/or its senior management staff and/or the Directors that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided and referred to in the Circular.

We consider that we have reviewed all currently available information and documents which are available to enable us to reach an informed view and to justify our reliance on the information provided so as to provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. We have no reason to doubt the truth, accuracy and completeness of the statements, information, opinions and representations provided to us by the Company and/or its senior management staff and/or the Directors and their respective advisers or to believe that material information has been withheld or omitted from the information provided to us or referred to in the aforesaid documents. We have not, however, carried out an independent verification of the information provided, nor have we conducted an independent investigation into the business and affairs of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

IV. PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In formulating our recommendation, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Background of the Group

  • 1.1 Principal business of the Group

The Group is a principally engaged in the production and sales of float flat glass and reprocessed automobile glass.

— 18 —

LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL

1.2 Financial performance of the Group

As stated in the Group’s 2006 annual report, the Group achieved audited consolidated income from principal operations of approximately RMB1,195.9 million (approximately HK$1,235.0 million) and a net loss of approximately RMB317.5 million (approximately HK$327.9 million) for the year ended 31 December 2006 prepared under the PRC Accounting Rules and Regulations, as compared to an audited consolidated income from principal operations of approximately RMB1,031.9 million (approximately HK$1,065.6 million) and a net profit for the year of approximately RMB4.9 million (approximately HK$5.1 million) for the year ended 31 December 2005.

As stated in Company’s 2006 annual report, the Group’s profitability was adversely impacted due to the over repaid growth of new capacities in the industry, the imbalanced supply and demand of glass and the intensified disordered market competition, which stood in contrast to the high prices of production materials leading to rising costs of production and declining selling prices. Overall, the average sales price of the Group’s float glass products has decreased by approximately 8.8% as compared to that for the year ended 31 December 2005 and coupled with the increase in the average cost of sales. During the year, the Group continued its efforts to adopt other production materials with lower costs and to develop new material which will cause a higher profit margin.

Shareholders should note that there are significant differences, including but not limited to the differences on “reversal of impairment losses on receivables”, “unrecognized loss from subsidiaries” and “difference in accounting for reused packing materials”, between the financial statements of the Group prepared in accordance with the PRC Accounting Rules and Regulations and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). Details of the reconciliation of the (loss)/profit attributable to the Group prepared in accordance with the PRC Accounting Rules and Regulations and IFRSs are set out in under the heading “Significant differences between the financial statements of the Group prepared in accordance with the PRC Accounting Rules and Regulations and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”)” in the Group’s 2006 annual report. To be consistent with the management discussion and analysis section as stated in the Group’s 2006 annual report, we have also used the financial information based on PRC Accounting Rules and Regulations for our analysis in this section.

— 19 —

LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL

As stated in the interim report of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2007, the Group recorded an unaudited operating income of approximately RMB689.8 million (approximately HK$712.4 million) and an unaudited net loss attributable to parent company’s shareholders of approximately RMB63.9 million (approximately HK$66.0 million) for the six months ended 30 June 2007 prepared under the PRC Accounting Rules and Regulations, as compared to the unaudited operating income of approximately RMB474.9 million (approximately HK$490.4 million), representing an increase of approximately 45.2% and an unaudited net loss attributable to parent company’s shareholders of approximately RMB156.8 million (approximately HK$161.9 million) for the six months ended 30 June 2006. For the six months ended 30 June 2007, the Group’s financial position improved with gross profit of approximately RMB40.5 million (approximately HK$41.8 million) compared to the gross loss of approximately RMB64.3 million (approximately HK$66.4 million) for the six months ended 30 June 2006.

As explained in the abovementioned interim report of the Group, despite the Group still recorded a net loss over the period due to various reasons including but not limited to the overtly large scale and rapid investment in the past coupled with shortage of capital and market change, the Group’s operating result has been significantly improved over the same period which was mainly attributable to the increase in both sales and selling price, effective control on cost, thus, the improvement in gross profit margin.

As stated in the announcement of the Company dated 25 October 2007, the Group recorded an unaudited operating income of approximately RMB416.2 million (approximately HK$429.8 million) and an unaudited net profit attributable to parent company’s shareholders of the Company of approximately RMB383,000 (approximately HK$395,500) for the nine months ended 30 September 2007 as compared to the unaudited operating income of approximately RMB317.5 million (approximately HK$327.9 million) and an unaudited net loss attributable to parent company’s shareholders of the Company of approximately RMB64.0 million (approximately HK$66.1 million) for the same period in 2006.

In August 2007, the PRC National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”) issued the “Elimination of existing small and low production capacity of float glass manufactures” (“做好淘汰落後平板玻璃生產能力有關工作的通知”). Such document reiterated the existing policy on float glass industry and to eliminate the small and low production capacity of float glass manufactures during the “Eleventh-five period” and to promote healthy development of the float glass industry. Since the situation of industry oversupply will be improved in the year 2007 due to the implementation of the aforesaid policy, the Directors believe that the overall glass business environment has improved when compared to the financial year ended 31 December 2006. In addition, the principal activities of the Company are mainly in manufacture and sales of float sheet glass, despite the short term negative impact to the float glass industry, the Directors expect that steady development of the PRC float glass industry in the future would in turn ensure a steady demand for float glass.

— 20 —

LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL

Taking into account that (i) the float glass industry in the PRC has gone through a period of cyclical downturn which, in turn, has accelerated the consolidation trend in the float glass industry in the PRC, with the elimination of certain smaller manufacturers; and (ii) the success of the Group’s initiative on improvement for profitability by adopting other production materials with lower costs and developing new material, we are of the view that the transaction contemplated under the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement is in line with the Group’s corporate strategy and NDRC’s policy to capture a larger share of the anticipated increase in float glass demand in the future.

2. The Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement

2.1 The terms of Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement

Pursuant to the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement, CLFG has agreed to sell its 50% equity interest in Longxin Glass to the Company at a consideration of RMB35,000,000 (approximately HK$36,144,500), which is to be satisfied by the Company wholly in cash. Upon completion of this transaction, the Company will own a 50% equity interest in Longxin Glass. The other 50% equity interest in Longxin Glass will continue to be owned by Xinan Fada, an Independent Third Party.

2.2 Consideration

The consideration amounting to RMB35,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$36,144,500) was determined by the Company and CLFG after arm’s length negotiations with reference to the audited net asset value of Longxin Glass as at 31 August 2007, the financial position of Longxin Glass, the economic benefits to the Company after completion of the transaction which will be further elaborated in the section “Reasons for and benefits to the transaction with respect to Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement” below in this letter, and the appraised value of approximately RMB80,755,000 as at 19 October 2007 by a PRC qualified surveyor, which is an independent third party to the Company and CLFG. The consideration of RMB35,000,000 represents a premium of approximately 4% of the attributable interest of Longxin Glass’ audited net asset value of approximately RMB33,536,000 as at 31 August 2007 and represents a discount of 13% of the attributable appraised value of approximately RMB40,377,500.

Upon fulfillment of the conditions set out in the “Letter from the Board”, the consideration of RMB35,000,000 will be paid by the Company on or before 31 December 2007.

Based on the above reasons, the Board considers that the consideration is fair and reasonable and in the interests of both the Company and the Shareholders.

— 21 —

LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL

Taking into account that (i) the consideration represented a slight premium to the attributable interests of Longxin Glass’s audited net asset value and a discount to the appraised value issued by the independent valuer; (ii) the historical financial performance of Longxin Glass, in particular, the turnaround of Longxin Glass to profitability for the eight months ended 31 August 2007; and (iii) the reasons for and benefits to the transaction under the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement set out as below in this letter, we are of the view that the consideration payable by the Company under the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

  • 2.3 Information relating to Longxin Glass

Longxin Glass was incorporated in the PRC in 2003. The registered capital of Longxin Glass is RMB88,000,000, of which CLFG and Xinan Fada each contributed 50%. Longxin Glass is principally engaged in the production and sale of float flat glass in the PRC.

Set out below is the financial summary of Longxin Glass based on its financial statements prepared in accordance with the PRC Accounting Rules and Regulations:

For the For the For the

Net asset value 100.3 57.5 67.1
  • 2.4 Reasons for and benefits to the transaction with respect to Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement

As stated in the “Letter from the Board”, the Company is principally engaged in the production and sale of float flat glass and reprocessed automobile glass. Longxin Glass is engaged in a similar line of business. The acquisition of a 50% equity interest in Longxin Glass from CLFG will result in the Company participating in the business of Longxin Glass directly and removing CLFG’s shareholding in Longxin Glass. The competing interest between CLFG and the Company will be eliminated. Further, in view of the comprehensive equipment and production lines of Longxin Glass, it will enhance the Group’s market position in the glass industry.

— 22 —

LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL

In light of the basis of the consideration and the reasons and benefits resulting from the acquisition, the Directors consider that the transaction contemplated under the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement is on normal commercial terms and is fair and reasonable and in the interests of both the Company and its Shareholders.

Taking into account the background to, and reasons for, the transaction contemplated under Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement is consistent with the Group’s corporate strategy to capture a larger share of the anticipated increase in float glass demand in the future, we concur with the Directors’ view that the transaction contemplated under Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement is on normal commercial terms and in the interests of both the Company and the Shareholders.

  • 2.5 Expect financial impact on the Group as the result of the transaction contemplated under Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement

  • 2.5.1 Total assets, total liabilities and net asset value

Since the consideration will be satisfied by internal resources of the Group, the Board expects that there will be no material effect on the consolidated total assets, total liabilities and net asset value of the Group upon completion of the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement although the Group’s cash and cash equivalent balances will be decreased to the extent of the consideration of RMB35,000,000.

After completion of the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement, the Company’s 50% equity interest in Longxin Glass will be equity accounted for and will be represented by a separate item under “Interest in associate(s)” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Therefore, there is no impact on the total liabilities of the Group as a result of the completion of the transaction contemplated under the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement.

The consideration represents approximately a 4% premium over the audited net asset value of the attributable interest in Longxin Glass and the Company will only account for 50% of Longxin Glass’ net asset value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

— 23 —

LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL

2.5.2 Earnings

Longxin Glass’s audited profit after taxation amounted to approximately RMB9.6 million (approximately HK$9.9 million) for the eight months ended 31 August 2007.

Upon completion of the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement, Longxin Glass will be equity accounted for as an associate of the Company. Assuming the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement is approved by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM on 18 December 2007 and completion takes place on or before 31 December 2007, the Board expects that the contribution from Longxin Glass on the Group’s earnings for the year ending 31 December 2007 will be positive and immaterial.

2.5.3 Effects on the cash position/gearing of the Group

As stated in the “Letter from the Board”, the consideration for the transaction contemplated under Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement will be satisfied by internal resources of the Group. Hence, the “Cash and cash equivalent” classified under current assets of the consolidated balance sheet of the Group will decrease to extent of the consideration of RMB35,000,000.

As the consideration will be settled by internal resources of the Group, it is expected to have no significant impact on the gearing ratio as result of the tranasction.

3. The Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement

  • 3.1 The terms of Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement

Pursuant to the Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement, the Company has agreed to transfer all of its 100% equity interest in Logistics Company to CLFG at a consideration of RMB70,363,714 (approximately HK$72,664,607), which is to be satisfied by CLFG wholly in cash. Upon completion of this transaction, the Company will have no interest in Logistics Company and Logistics Company will no longer be a subsidiary of the Company.

3.2 Consideration

The consideration amounting to RMB70,363,714 (equivalent to approximately HK$72,664,607) was determined by the Company and CLFG after arm’s length negotiations with reference to Logistics Company’s audited net asset value. The consideration of RMB70,363,714 represents a premium of approximately 0.02% of the Logistics Company’s audited net asset value of RMB70,351,000 as at 19 October 2007.

Upon fulfillment of the conditions set out in the “Letter from the Board”, 30% of the consideration of RMB70,363,714 (i.e. RMB21,109,114.2) will be paid by CLFG on or before 31 December 2007 and the remaining 70% of the consideration (i.e. RMB49,254,599.8) will be paid by CLFG on or before 20 April 2008.

Based on the reasons as stated in the “Letter from the Board”, the Board considers that the consideration is fair and reasonable and in the interests of both the Company and the Shareholders.

The Company has been informed that CLFG will fund the acquisition of Logistics Company by way of the following:

  • a. loan facilities provided by financial institutions;

  • b. conversion of current assets into cash (including land, shares and other assets); and

  • c. financial assistantce from CNBMG.

3.3 Information relating to Logistics Company

Logistics Company was incorporated in the PRC on 14 October 2007 and is decided to engage in warehousing storage (excluding dangerous goods), allocation and transportation of goods, logistics information services, consultation of logistic system design, consultation services of glass processing technology, sales of glass and related raw materials, steels, building materials and metals in the PRC. The registered capital of Logistics Company is RMB10,000,000. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Logistics Company holds cash and a piece of land (“Land”). The Land occupies an area of approximately 8.0 hectares located to the east of the Company’s factory area.

In preparation of the incorporation of the Logistics Company, the Company has commissioned an independent appraisal of the Land which valued the land at RMB67,363,714 on 8 October 2007. Under a separate audit work performed on Logistics Company prepared under the PRC Accounting Rules and Regulations, as at 19 October 2007, the audited net asset value of Logistics Company was RMB70,351,000.

  • 3.4 Reasons and benefits of the Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement and application of the sale proceeds

As mentioned in the “Letter from the Board”, Logistics Company holds cash and the Land only. The Logistics Company is newly set up and has not carried out any operations. The Company does not have any specific plan regarding the Land. After due and careful consideration, the Directors believe that the disposal of Logistics Company represents a good opportunity for the Company to realise the Land at a reasonable price and the proceeds obtained will enhance the financial position and liquidity of the Company.

— 25 —

LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL

The Land was acquired by the Company in 1994 at approximately RMB17,697,000 and its carrying value was approximately RMB12,978,000 as at 31 August 2007. The Company’s total cost of investment in Logistics Company is approximately RMB15,978,000 comprising RMB3,000,000 cash and the Land. Upon disposal of Logistics Company, the Company will realise a gain of approximately RMB50,685,000, which is the difference between the consideration of RMB70,363,714 and the Company’s total investment cost of approximately RMB15,978,000, business tax of approximately RMB2,991,000 (being 5.5% of the gross gain of RMB54,385,714) and a transaction levy of approximately RMB710,000. Given Logistics Company was established on 14 October 2007 and has no and will not have any operation by year end, the investment in Logistics Company by year end will only reflect the cost of investment of approximately RMB15,978,000 in the financial statements as at 31 December 2007. Accordingly, in the event that completion of the Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement takes place in 2007, such gain on disposal of approximately RMB50,685,000 will be reflected in the financial statements of the Company for the year ending 31 December 2007. The auditors of the Company have verbally confirmed that the calculation and the accounting treatment of the gain on disposal of approximately RMB50,685,000 are acceptable under IFRSs.

Given the reasons mentioned above, the Directors consider that the transaction contemplated under the Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement is on normal commercial terms and is fair and reasonable and in the interests of both the Company and its Shareholders.

The disposal of Logistics Company will generate net proceeds of approximately RMB66,662,000, of which RMB35,000,000, will be used to fund the consideration of the transaction under the Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement as mentioned above and the balance will be used to expand the general working capital and production capacity of the Group. The Longxin Glass Share Transfer Agreement and the Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement are not inter-conditional and even if the disposal of Logistics Company does not proceed, the Company has sufficient funds to satisfy the consideration for the Longxin Share Transfer Agreement out of its internal resources. In the event that the Longxin Share Transfer Agreement does not proceed, all proceeds generated from the disposal of Logistics Company will be used as the general working capital of the Group.

Taking into account (i) consideration is based on audited net asset value of Logistic Company; (ii) the background to, and reasons for, the transaction contemplated under Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement, in particular, the Company does not have specific plan regarding the Land; (iii) the potential financial effects on the Group as the result of the transaction contemplated under Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement as mentioned below, we are of the view that the transaction contemplated under Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement is on commercial terms and fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

— 26 —

LETTER FROM ACCESS CAPITAL

  • 3.5 Expect financial impact on the Group as the result of the transaction contemplated under Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement

  • 3.5.1 Total assets, total liabilities and net asset value

As mentioned in the “Letter from the Baord”, the Group will realise a gain of approximately RMB50,685,000 upon the disposal. Accordingly, the transaction contemplated under Logistics Company Share Transfer Agreement would have positive effects on the total assets and the net asset values of the Group. Given the Logistics Company is a newly set up company with no liabilities, the disposal will not have any effect on the total liabilities of the Group.

3.5.2 Earnings

As mentioned in the “Letter from the Board”, since Logistics Company holds cash and the Land only and has not carried out any operations, there will be no impact on the earnings of the Group as the result of the disposal except a gain on disposal of approximately RMB50,685,000 to be recognised by the Group.

  • 3.5.3 Effects on the cash position of the Group

Upon the disposal, Logistics Company will generate net proceeds of approximately RMB66,662,000 and accordingly the Group’s “Cash and cash equivalent” classified under the balance sheet of the Group will increase by the same amount.

RECOMMENDATION

After having considered the above principal factors and based on the information provided and the representations made to us, we consider the terms of the Transactions contemplated thereunder to be fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; and the Transactions are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend to the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolution(s) which will be proposed at the EGM to approve the Transactions.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of

No tests were carried out on any of the services.

We have not carried out on-site measurements to verify the correctness of the site areas of the property but have assumed that the site areas shown on the documents available to us are correct. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the attached valuation certificate are based on information contained in the documents provided to us and are, therefore, only approximations.
