LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Brief summary of the CLFG Raw Material Sale Framework Agreement:

Pursuant to the CLFG Raw Materials Sale Framework Agreement, CLFG Group agreed to supply raw materials such as silicon powder to the Group at a price to be determined with reference to the prevailing market price at the time of particular transaction. The Group will seek to obtain market price information through various channels, which include (1) reference made to comparable transactions (if any) by independent third parties during the same period; (2) through communication and exchange of price information of relevant materials by various means, including but not limited to telephone conversations, emails and meetings with peers and business partners within the glass production industry. The main factors with which the relevant market prices are determined are the then demand and supply of raw materials including silicon powder in the area around Luoyang, distance between the location of buyers and sellers, as well as the quality of the raw materials including silicon powder. After collecting the market information, the terms including the pricing and payment terms will be used as benchmark for the transactions with CLFG Group. The final terms will then be assessed and approved by the finance department and relevant operations departments with reference to the aforesaid information. The prices offered to the Group by CLFG Group will not be less favourable than those offered to other independent third party(ies) on similar raw materials. In principle, the Group is required to pay for the goods delivered during the month in the following month.

The CLFG Raw Materials Sale Framework Agreement shall take effect upon obtaining approval by Independent Shareholders at the EGM as required by the Shanghai Listing Rules and shall have a term of 3 years from 1 January 2015 up to 31 December 2017.

The table below summarises the existing cap amounts for the three years ending 31 December 2014 for the existing agreement entered into between CLFG and the Company on 18 October 2011:

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The table below summarises the actual transaction amounts recorded for the two years ended 31 December 2013 and the nine months ended 30 September 2014:

For the For the year ended For the year ended nine months ended 31 December 2012 31 December 2013 30 September 2014 RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000 Actual transaction amounts 1,665 1,910 1,502

The Company determined that the proposed New Caps under the CLFG Raw Materials Sale Framework Agreement for the three years ending 31 December 2017 are RMB9,500,000 (inclusive of VAT), RMB9,500,000 (inclusive of VAT) and RMB9,500,000 (inclusive of VAT) respectively. The proposed New Caps were determined based on the estimated demand of the silicon powder after taking into account of (i) the selling prices and consumed amounts of the raw materials in the previous three years; and (ii) the reduction of supply of silicon powder due to the termination of production of a mining subsidiary of the CLFG Group. As compared with the actual transaction amounts for the nine months ended 30 September 2014, the proposed New Caps are higher because of the inclusion of VAT and transportation expenses in the transaction amounts in order to facilitate settlement of the relevant expenses and taxes. Since transportation expenses were high comparing to the cost of raw materials including silicon powder, the historical transaction amounts would have increased significantly if it included the transportation expenses.

HONG KONG LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the applicable percentage ratios for the CLFG Raw Materials Sale Framework Agreement exceed 0.1% but less than 5%, the transaction contemplated under the CLFG Raw Materials Sale Framework Agreement will be subject to the reporting, annual review and announcement requirements only but exempt from the independent shareholders’ approval requirement under Chapter 14A of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

Pursuant to the Shanghai Listing Rules, the transactions to be carried out under the CLFG Raw Materials Sale Framework Agreement (including the related proposed annual caps) are required to be approved by the Independent Shareholders.

The Directors are of the view that the CLFG Raw Materials Sale Framework Agreement has been entered into on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, the terms of CLFG Raw Materials Sale Framework Agreement and its New Caps are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders and the Company as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Notes:

  • (1) Based on the actual transaction amounts between Huayi Glass and the Company.

  • (2) Based on the aggregate actual transaction amounts between Huayi Glass and the Company and between Fangxing Science & Technology and the Company.

The Company determined that the proposed New Caps under the Ultra-thin Float Glass Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement for the three years ending 31 December 2017 are RMB214,000,000 (inclusive of VAT), RMB224,000,000 (inclusive of VAT) and RMB234,000,000 (inclusive of VAT) respectively. The proposed New Caps are higher than the actual transaction amount for the nine months ended 30 September 2014 because the proposed New Caps were determined based on the management’s internal projection with reference to the information provided by Fangxing Science & Technology on the estimated amount of ultra-thin float flat glass to be sold to Fangxing Science & Technology and its subsidiaries by the Group after taking into account (i) the anticipated increase in demand of Fangxing Science & Technology and its subsidiaries on the ultrathin float glass; (ii) the increase in production capacity of ultra-thin float glass of the Group in the future and (iii) the anticipated change in the selling price of the ultrathin float glass in the PRC with reference to the prevailing market price. The actual transaction amounts for the nine months ended 30 September 2014 was lower than the existing cap amounts because the glass melting furnace of one of the existing production lines entered into later service period and affected the quality of its ultra-thin float glass products, resulting in that part of the products could not satisfy the needs and requirement of Fangxing Science & Technology and its subsidiaries, therefore, the supply of the Company to Fangxing Scrience & Technology was lowered.

Notes:

(1) Based on the actual transaction amounts under the 1st Shenzhen Kaisheng Equipment Supply Agreement and the 2nd Shenzhen Kaisheng Equipment Supply Agreement.

The Company determined that the proposed New Caps under the CNBMG Engineering Equipment and Materials Supply Framework Agreement for the three years ending 31 December 2017 are RMB50,000,000, RMB300,000,000 and RMB300,000,000 respectively. The proposed New Caps were determined based on the estimated value of the equipment required for future engineering projects by the Company after taking into account (i) the implementation of the upgrade and transformation project of the Group and (ii) technologies involved and the complexity in the engineering projects.

As compared with the actual transaction amounts for the nine months ended 30 September 2014, the proposed New Caps for the two years ended 31 December 2017 (i.e. RMB300,000,000) are substantially higher, which is mainly because the Company plans to conduct cold repair and transformation of the production lines of Longhai Glass during the period between 2016 and 2017. In considering when a production line needs to conduct cold repair and transformation, the Group needs to consider the age of the glass melting furnace of the production line and assesses comprehensively the actual operating condition of the production line. If the maintenance of the production line is good and the actual operating condition is satisfactory, the production line may not require cold repair immediately even its usual service period has passed. As a result, the cold repair may take place during the period between 2016 and 2017. For the sake of prudence, each of the proposed New Caps for the two years ended 31 December 2017 reflects the expected cost of equipments required for the cold repair due to the uncertainty on the timetable of the execution of the cold repair.

The proposed New Caps were determined based on the engineering technical services demand by the expected future engineering projects of the Company after taking into account (i) the implementation of the new development project of the Group; (ii) technologies involved and the complexity and challenge of the technical work; and (iii) the expected price with reference to the prevailing market price for provision of such services. As compared with the actual transaction amounts for the nine months ended 30 September 2014, the proposed New Caps are higher due to (i) the plan to increase production lines as a result of potential new development projects of the Company in the future; (ii) the cold repair and transformation of the production lines of Longhai Glass to be conducted by the Company during the period between 2016 and 2017. As discussed under the section for “CNBMG Engineering Equipment and Materials Supply Framework” above, in deciding when a production line needs to conduct cold repair and transformation, the Group needs to consider the age of the glass melting furnace of the production line and assesses comprehensively the actual operating condition of the production line. If the maintenance of the production line is good and the actual operating condition is satisfactory, the production line may not require cold repair immediately even its usual service period has passed.

Date: 14 November 2014

Parties: (1) Yuantong Energy; and

(2) Longhao Glass

Implementation of previous connected transactions:

On 14 November 2013, Longhao Glass entered into the 2014 Piped Natural Gas Supply Framework Agreement with Yuantong Energy, pursuant to which the maximum transaction amount of RMB89,000,000 for the year ending 31 December 2014 has been set. Details of the 2014 Piped Natural Gas Supply Framework Agreement were set out in an announcement in relation to the connected transaction of the Company, which was published on the China Securities Journal ( 中國證券報 ), the Shanghai Securities News ( 上海證券報 ), the Securities Daily ( 證券日報 ) and the website of the Shanghai Stock Exchange (http://www.sse.com.cn) on 14 November 2013. The actual transaction amount was approximately RMB81,454,800 as of 30 September 2014.

Revision to the maximum transaction amount for the connected transactions in ordinary course of business for 2014 and the new maximum transaction amount for the connected transactions in ordinary course of business for 2015

In view of the demand from Longhao Glass for its production operation, Longhao Glass entered into the 2014 Piped Natural Gas Supply Supplemental Agreement with Yuantong Energy on 14 November 2014, pursuant to which the maximum transaction amount of natural gas supply will be revised to RMB124,000,000 for the year ending 31 December 2014. The maximum transaction amount will be increased by RMB35,000,000 and the revision requires approval by the Shareholders at the EGM.

— 25 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Reason for the revision to the maximum transaction amount

In 2014, Longhao Glass has begun to lease a 600t/d production line, resulting in a substantial increase of use of natural gas amount over its initial estimated amount at the time of contract, as a result the maximum transaction amount for the natural gas supply has to be increased.

In view of the demand from Longhao Glass for its transactions and its production operation in 2014, Longhao Glass entered into the 2015 Piped Natural Gas Supply Framework Agreement with Yuantong Energy on 14 November 2014, pursuant to which the maximum transaction amount of natural gas supply shall be RMB212,000,000 (inclusive of VAT) for the year from 1 January 2015 up to 31 December 2015. The maximum transaction amount requires approval by the Shareholders at the EGM.

As Yuantong Engery is not deemed as a connected person of the Company under the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the transaction contemplated under the 2014 Piped Natural Gas Supply Supplemental Agreement and 2015 Piped Natural Gas Supply Framework Agreement do not constitute connected transactions under the Hong Kong Listing Rules and are therefore exempted from reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements.

However, pursuant to the Shanghai Listing Rules, the 2014 Piped Natural Gas Supply Supplemental Agreement and the 2015 Piped Natural Gas Supply Framework Agreement are subject to the Independent Shareholders’ approval at the EGM.

The Directors are of the view that the 2014 Piped Natural Gas Supply Supplemental Agreement and 2015 Piped Natural Gas Supply Framework Agreement have been entered into on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, the terms of the 2014 Piped Natural Gas Supply Supplemental Agreement and the 2015 Piped Natural Gas Supply Framework Agreement and their respective New Caps are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders and the Company as a whole.

Dear Sirs,

DISCLOSEABLE AND CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS AND CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the New Project Agreements entered into between each of Longhai Glass and Longmen Glass, both being wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, and ERP Institute, respectively; and the Non-exempt CCT Agreements entered into between the Company with each of Fangxing Science &Technology and CNBMG respectively, details of which are contained in the Announcement and in the letter from the board (“ Letter from the Board ”) of the circular of the Company dated 15 December 2014 (the “ Circular ”) to the Shareholders. Capitalised terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as defined in the Circular unless the context requires otherwise.

LETTER FROM GOLDIN FINANCIAL

On 14 November 2014, Longhai Glass, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Longhai Glass Production Line Smoke Gas Dust Removal and Denitration Project Design and Installation Agreement and the Longhai Glass Production Line Smoke Gas Dust Removal and Denitration Project Equipment Agreement with EPR Institute, pursuant to which EPR Institute agreed to provide project design, construction and installation services for the purpose of the Longhai Smoke Gas Treatment Project at a consideration of RMB1,400,000, and agreed to supply whole set of equipment for the purpose of the Longhai Smoke Gas Treatment Project at a consideration of RMB3,800,000. On the same date, Longmen Glass, another wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Longmen Glass Production Line Smoke Gas Dust Removal and Denitration Project Equipment Agreement with EPR Institute, pursuant to which EPR Institute agreed to provide project design, construction and installation services for the purpose of the Longmen Smoke Gas Treatment Project at a consideration of RMB1,900,000 and agreed to supply whole set of equipment for the purpose of the Longmen Smoke Gas Treatment Project at a consideration of RMB4,500,000.

EPR Institute is an indirect non-wholly owned subsidiary of CNBMG, which directly owns 70.70% equity interest in CLFG, the controlling shareholder of the Company. Therefore, EPR Institute is an associate of CNBMG and hence regarded as a connected person of the Company. The transactions contemplated under the New Project Agreements constitute connected transactions of the Company under the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Rule 14A.81 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the transactions contemplated under the New Project Agreements should be aggregated with the transactions under the Previous Project Agreements. Since the post-aggregation applicable percentage ratios exceed 5%, the transactions contemplated under the New Project Agreements constitute the discloseable and connected transactions of the Company, and will be subject to the reporting, annual review, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

On the other hand, on 14 November 2014, the Group entered into the New CCT Agreements for the purposes of (i) renewing the Old CCT Agreements (all of which will expire on 31 December 2014) so as to ensure continuous provisions of goods and services to and from the Group; and (ii) coping with the operation needs and business development of the Group in light of its expected increase in production capacity of ultra-thin glass production line in the coming years, and the improvement of product quality and stability.

— 33 —

LETTER FROM GOLDIN FINANCIAL

Among the New CCT Agreements, the Ultra-Thin Float Glass Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement was entered between the Company and Fangxing Science & Technology, pursuant to which the Company agreed to supply ultra-thin float glass to Fangxing Science & Technology and its subsidiaries. Furthermore, the Company and CNBMG entered into the CNBMG Engineering Equipment and Materials Supply Framework Agreement, pursuant to which the CNBMG Group will supply equipment for float glass production to the Group. In addition, the Company entered into the CNBMG Engineering Technical Services Framework Agreement, pursuant to which the CNBMG Group will provide various technical services for the new development plans of the Group.

As Fangxing Science & Technology is indirectly owned as to 34.60% by CNBMG, the ultimate controlling shareholder of the Company, it is therefore an associate of CNBMG and both Fangxing Science & Technology and CNBMG are regarded as the connected persons of the Company. The entering into of the Non-exempt CCT Agreements constitutes continuing connected transactions of the Company. Pursuant to Chapter 14A of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the transactions contemplated under the Non-exempt CCT Agreements constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company. Since the proposed respective New Caps under the Non-exempt CCT Agreements are more than 5% of applicable percentage ratios, each of the Non-exempt CCT Agreements will be subject to the reporting, annual review, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of Hong Kong Listing Rules.

As a result, the EGM will be convened for the purposes of, among other things, seeking Independent Shareholders’ approvals by poll, for the New Project Agreements, each of the Non-exempt CCT Agreements and their respective New Caps. CNBMG, Fangxing Science & Technology and their respective associates will abstain from voting in the resolutions in respect of each of the New Projects Agreements, Non-exempt CCT Agreements and their respective New Caps at the EGM.

THE INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE

The Independent Board Committee comprising Mr. Huang Ping, Mr. Dong Jiachun, Mr. Liu Tianni and Mr. Jin Zhanping, being the independent non-executive Directors, has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders in relation to the New Project Agreements and Non-exempt CCT Agreements.

We, Goldin Financial, have been appointed by the Company as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to each of the New Project Agreements and the Non-exempt CCT Agreements, and to make recommendations as to, among others, whether the terms of the New Project Agreements and the Non-exempt CCT Agreements are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and as to voting in respect of the relevant resolution at the EGM. Our appointment has been approved by the Independent Board Committee.

LETTER FROM GOLDIN FINANCIAL

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

1. Discloseable and connected transactions

1.1. Background to and reasons for entering into the New Project Agreements

The Group is principally engaged in the production and sale of float sheet glass and ultrathin electronic glass.

On 14 November 2014, Longhai Glass, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Longhai Glass Production Line Smoke Gas Dust Removal and Denitration Project Design and Installation Agreement and the Longhai Glass Production Line Smoke Gas Dust Removal and Denitration Project Equipment Agreement with EPR Institute, pursuant to which EPR Institute agreed to provide project design, construction and installation services for the purpose of the Longhai Smoke Gas Treatment Project at a consideration of RMB1,400,000, and agreed to supply whole set of equipment for the purpose of the Longhai Smoke Gas Treatment Project at a consideration of RMB3,800,000.

On 14 November 2014, Longmen Glass, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Longhai Glass Production Line Smoke Gas Dust Removal and Denitration Project Design and Installation Agreement and the Longmen Glass Production Line Smoke Gas Dust Removal and Denitration Project Equipment Agreement with EPR Institute, pursuant to which EPR Institute agreed to provide project design, construction and installation services for the purpose of the Longmen Smoke Gas Treatment Project at a consideration of RMB1,900,000 and agreed to supply whole set of equipment for the purpose of the Longmen Smoke Gas Treatment Project at a consideration of RMB4,500,000.

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the smoke gas treatment projects herein refer to the smoke gas treatment system construction projects for the production lines of Longhai Glass and the production lines of Longmen Glass. Through the entering into of the New Project Agreements, the smoke gas treatment systems could be built up for Longhai Glass and Longmen Glass, which will have positive effects on energy saving, emission reduction and environment protection, and will comply with the relevant industry policies in the PRC and the relevant environmental protection planing requirements established by the local government.

— 36 —

LETTER FROM GOLDIN FINANCIAL

On the other hand, we noted that the PRC government has announced guidances and policies to raise the environmental protection concerns among industries. According to both 《大氣污染防治行動計劃》(Air Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan) and 《節能減排十二五規劃》(the Twelfth Five-year Plan for Energy Saving and Emission Reduction) issued on 12 September 2013 and 6 August 2012 respectively by the State Council, in order to reduce industrial emission and improve the air quality within the PRC region, the PRC government aims to among others, accelerate the desulphurisation and denitration in specific industries including the float glass production industry. Furthermore, the PRC governmental report of《平板玻璃工業十二五發展規劃》 (the Twelfth Five-year Development Plan for Sheet Glass Industry*) states that by 2015, it is expected that the main air pollutant release standard within the domestic sheet glass industry will be met by reducing energy consumption and monitoring the compliance with the air pollutant release standard of the industry. In particular, the PRC government further encouraged the development and application of smoke gas denitration system technology of glass production lines as one of the means in achieving the industrial emission reduction.

In order to comply with the requirements of the industrial policies and standards recently established by the Chinese government, the Company entered into a project design and construction agreement with Shenzhen Kaisheng Science and Technology Engineering Company Limited, an indirect non wholly-owned subsidiary of CNBMG, for the provisions of project design, construction and installation services for the purposes of the projects in respect of building a residual heat power generation boiler system and a smoke gas treatment system for the glass production lines of Longhao Glass, further details of which are set in the announcements of the Company dated 17 April 2014 and 20 May 2014 respectively. Such steps are therefore in line with the Group’s development strategy while aligning with the national policies on energy conservation and environmental protection. Through the entering into of the New Project Agreements, the construction and installation services for the smoke gas treatment system of the production lines of both Longhai Glass and Longmen Glass would commence. Subject to the completion of the construction and installation of the smoke gas treatment systems, the production lines of Longhai Glass, Longmen Glass and Longhao Glass will all become in compliance with the requirements of the above policies and standards

EPR Institute, an indirect non wholly-owned subsidiary of CNBMG, is principally engaged in the research on environmental protection technology, construction, supply of equipment and advisory. CNBMG is a wholly state-owned enterprise incorporated in the PRC and is one of the top 500 corporations worldwide in terms of revenue in 2014 as ranked by Fortune magazine, a business magazine published globally since 1929. As advised by the management of the Company, being the only platform of CNBMG serving

LETTER FROM GOLDIN FINANCIAL

environmental protection industry, EPR Institute owns advanced and reliable technologies in relation to air pollution control, wastewater treatment and solid waste management. With a Class A qualification in atmospheric environmental governance, its independent research and development of “ 玻璃熔窯煙氣脫硫技術 ” (“ Glass Melting Furnace Flue Gas Desulphurisation Technology ”) has won 國家級科技成果獎 (“ the National Science and Technology Achievement Award* ”). Upon the discussion with the management of the Company, the Chinese government has been placing increasingly strict requirements on the industrial emission level and hence, it is essential for the Company to acquire the project design, installation and construction services as well as advanced equipment from a reliable and experienced supplier in order to ensure its compliance with the national policies and maintain its competitiveness within the industry. When selecting the compatible supplier for the provisions of equipment and services for the purposes of Longhai Smoke Gas Treatment Project and Longmen Smoke Gas Treatment Project, the Company has primarily taken technical expertise and previous transaction experience into account. Given that the Group is highly satisfied with the quality of the project design, construction and installation services together with the equipment provided by the CNBMG Group for the purposes of building a residual heat power generation boiler system and a smoke gas treatment system for the glass production lines of Longhao Glass under the project design and construction agreement entered in April and May 2014 respectively, and that the outstanding expertise of EPR Institute accounts for the majority of the provision of the construction and installation services in relation to the smoke gas treatment system for the glass industry in the PRC, the Group has therefore selected ERP Institute to become the supplier. We have therefore conducted a research analysis on the background of EPR Institute, and noted that EPR Institute has competitive advantages over other suppliers within the glass industry in the PRC in various areas such as its long history of establishment and success in environmental protection system development. With over sixty years of establishment, EPR Institute has been involved in a number of leading research projects both domestically and internationally. For instance, the “600t/d 玻璃熔窯煙氣治理工程 ” (600 t/d glass furnace flue gas treatment project) participated by EPR Institute has passed the local examination in May 2014 and is the first project within the PRC glass industry that combines the technologies of high temperature dry sulphurisation, high temperature dust removal and SCR denitration in order to minimise the industrial emission during the glass production process. These achievements can therefore demonstrate the expertise of EPR Institute in providing design, construction and installation services for the environmental protection projects within the glass industry. Based on the long history of establishment of EPR Institute and its successful environmental protection development for the glass industry, we are of the view that it is fair and reasonable for the Company to select EPR Institute to become the supplier.

LETTER FROM GOLDIN FINANCIAL

Having taken into account that (i) it has been the Group’s development strategy to enhance the technology level and product quality while aligning with the national policies on energy conservation; (ii) the entering into of the New Project Agreements would facilitate the construction and installation of the smoke gas treatment system for the Group’s production lines in terms of the compliance with the industrial guidelines and policies; (iii) the satisfactory prior transaction experience with CNBMG Group; and (iv) given the background, long history of establishment and experience of EPR Institute, the smoke gas treatment systems for the Group’s production lines constructed by EPR Institute are expected to pass the Company’s internal examination and meet the national standards as stipulated under the New Project Agreements, we are of the view that the selection criteria for the supplier and the entering into of the New Project Agreements are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

1.2. Principal terms of the New Project Agreements

Pursuant to the Longhai Glass Production Line Smoke Gas Dust Removal and Denitration Project Design and Installation Agreement and the Longhai Glass Production Line Smoke Gas Dust Removal and Denitration Project Equipment Agreement with EPR Institute, EPR Institute agreed to provide project design, construction and installation services (“ Longhai Services ”) for the purpose of the Longhai Smoke Gas Treatment Project at a consideration of RMB1,400,000, and agreed to supply whole set of equipment (“ Longhai Equipment ”) for the purpose of the Longhai Smoke Gas Treatment Project at a consideration of RMB3,800,000.

Pursuant to the Longmen Glass Production Line Smoke Gas Dust Removal and Denitration Project Design and Installation Agreement and the Longmen Glass Production Line Smoke Gas Dust Removal and Denitration Project Equipment Agreement with EPR Institute, EPR Institute agreed to provide project design, construction and installation services (“ Longmen Services ”, together with Longhai Services, the “ Project Services ”) for the purpose of the Longmen Smoke Gas Treatment Project at a consideration of RMB1,900,000 and agreed to supply whole set of equipment (“ Longmen Equipment ”, together with Longhai Equipment, the “ Project Equipment ”) for the purpose of the Longmen Smoke Gas Treatment Project at a consideration of RMB4,500,000.

Other terms of the New Project Agreements are set out in the section headed “A. Discloseable and connected transactions” in the Board Letter.

LETTER FROM GOLDIN FINANCIAL

In respect of the Longhai Glass Production Line Smoke Gas Dust Removal and Denitration Project Design and Installation Agreement and the Longmen Glass Production Line Smoke Gas Dust Removal and Denitration Project Design and Installation Agreement, we noted that each of the considerations was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the parties with reference to the market prices for providing the above design, construction and installation services (“ Project Services ”).

In respect of the Longhai Glass Production Line Smoke Gas Dust Removal and Denitration Project Equipment Agreement and the Longmen Glass Production Line Smoke Gas Dust Removal and Denitration Project Equipment Agreement, each of the considerations was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the parties with reference to the market prices for supplying the above equipment (“ Project Equipment ”).

Upon enquiry with the management of the Group, we were given to understand that both the considerations for the Project Services and Project Equipments are based on various factors including but not limited to the production capacity and types of the production lines and the natures and types of raw materials used for glass production through the production lines, resulting in the difference of gas emission volume and therefore the requirements of certain types of equipment and services for the corresponding production lines. We further understood that there was no transaction entered into between the Group and independent third parties supplying equipments similar to the Project Equipment and/or offering similar services to the Project Services, and as advised by the management of the Group, EPR Institute has been providing services and supplying equipment for the majority of the smoke gas denitration systems of glass industry. Nevertheless, we have reviewed the agreement entered into between EPR Institute and an independent third party for the construction and installation of the smoke gas denitration system similar to that under the New Project Agreements, and have noted that the pricing terms are generally based on the production capacity and types of the production lines, the requirements of types of equipment and services for the corresponding production lines, while the payment terms are based on the delivery of the equipment and the project schedule, which are materially the same as the pricing terms and payment terms under the New Project Agreements. As further confirmed with the management of the Group, the terms including the pricing terms and the payment terms of the New Project Agreements offered to the Group are no less favorable than those offered to other independent third party(ies) under normal commercial terms.

LETTER FROM GOLDIN FINANCIAL

Having considered that (i) the terms of the New Project Agreements offered to the Group are no less favorable than those offered to other independent third party(ies); and (ii) each of the considerations of the Project Equipment and Project Services was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the parties, the terms of the New Project Agreements are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

2. Non-exempt CCT Agreements

2.1. Background to and reasons for entering into the agreements

The Group is principally engaged in the production and sale of float sheet glass and ultrathin electronic glass.

CNBMG is the ultimate controlling shareholder of the Company. The principal operations of CNBMG include research and development, wholesale and retail of building materials, auxiliary raw materials and production equipment, supply of small cars under the plan of its system; contraction of design and construction of new-model building material houses, factories and ornament and decoration engineering.

Fangxing Science & Technology is indirectly owned as to 34.6% by CNBMG, the ultimate controlling shareholder of the Company.

LETTER FROM GOLDIN FINANCIAL

2.1.1. The Ultra-Thin Float Glass Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement

On 18 October 2011, the Group entered into the Huayi Glass Product Sale Framework Agreement with Huayi Glass, a subsidiary of Fangxing Science & Technology, pursuant to which the Group agreed to supply ultra-thin float glass products to Huayi Glass, with annual caps of RMB181.51 million, RMB199.18 million and RMB237.29 million for each of the years ended 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. Subsequently, on 20 January 2014, the Group entered into the Product Sale Agreement (together with the Huayi Glass Product Sale Framework Agreement, known as the “ Old Non-exempt CCT Agreements ”), pursuant to which the Group agreed to supply ultra-thin float glass to Fangxing Science & Technology, with annual cap of RMB 24 million for the year ending 31 December 2014.

Instead of entering into agreements for each continuing connected transactions between the Group and Fangxing Science & Technology and its subsidiaries in relation to the sales of ultra-thin float glass, on 14 November 2014, the Group entered into the Ultra-Thin Float Glass Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement to set out the framework governing the key terms, conditions and the general pricing principles of the continuing connected transactions between the Group and Fangxing Science & Technology and its subsidiaries. As the sales of ultra-thin float glass is one of the Group’s principal businesses, with such sales to Fangxing Science & Technology and its subsidiaries having been conducted pursuant to the Old Non-exempt CCT Agreements, which serves as a source of sales revenue of the Group, while ultra-thin float glass is one of the major components of the products of Fangxing Science & Technology, we are of the view that the Ultra-Thin Float Glass Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement is in substance an extension of the Huayi Glass Product Sale Framework Agreement, one of the Old Non-exempt CCT Agreements, and that the transactions contemplated under the Ultra-Thin Float Glass Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement have been, and will be conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group.

The Key Laboratory has expertise in different aspects of glass production, in particular the areas of energy saving, environment protection and emission minimisation. Accordingly, by entering into the CNBMG Engineering Equipment and Materials Supply Framework Agreement and the CNBMG Engineering Technical Services Framework Agreement, the Group would be able to secure a reliable supply of advanced equipment and services for its future engineering projects. Furthermore, based on the fact that the Group is highly satisfied with the quality of services and equipment provided by the CMBMG Group in previous transactions, further details of which are set out in the section headed “1.1 Background to and reasons for entering into the New Projects Agreements” of this letter, it is reasonable for the Group to maintain a sustainable relationship with CNBMG Group in the long run. Nonetheless, the quality and emission level of the production lines of the Group would be enhanced to meet the international standard and national industrial requirement respectively. As such, we are of the view that the transactions contemplated under the CNBMG Engineering Equipment and Materials Supply Framework Agreement and the CNBMG Engineering Technical Services Framework Agreement are an integral part of the

LETTER FROM GOLDIN FINANCIAL

ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, which would facilitate the implementation of the engineering projects of the Group and therefore improve its business performance in the future.

Having considered the background and reasons as discussed above, we are of the view that the entering into of each of the Non-exempt CCT Agreements is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, and is in the interests of the Group and Shareholders as a whole.

2.2. Principal terms of the agreement

2.2.1. The Ultra-Thin Float Glass Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement

Pursuant to the Ultra-Thin Float Glass Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement, the Group has agreed to provide ultra-thin float glass to Fangxing Science & Technology and its subsidiaries at prices to be determined with reference to the prevailing market price at the time of particular transaction. The prices offered by the Group to Fangxing Science & Technology and its subsidiaries will not be less than those offered to the other independent third parties for the same or similar products. In principle, the payment shall be made before delivery of ultra-thin float glass to Fangxing Science & Technology and its subsidiaries or in other methods to be agreed by both parties to the Ultra-Thin Float Glass Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement.

In assessing the terms of the transactions under the Ultra-Thin Float Glass Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement, we were given to understand that the pricing terms of ultra-thin float glass were determined based on the delivery location of the buyer, as well as the grade, thickness, length and width of the glass products. We have therefore randomly selected and reviewed 2 sample invoices issued by the Group to Huayi Glass, a subsidiary of Fangxing Science & Technology, which were governed by the terms under the Huayi Glass Product Sale Framework Agreement, and compared them with the sample sales contracts engaged by the Group and other independent third parties providing the same glass products to the same delivery location within a period of six months from the date of delivery. Despite that the aggregated transaction amounts of these samples represented only approximately 5.97% for the total historical transaction amounts for the nine months ended 30 September 2014, given that (i) the transactions under these samples were transacted in 2014, which are recent and under similar market conditions; and (ii) the transactions under the samples cover different types of products where price comparison of such products with independent third party

— 44 —

LETTER FROM GOLDIN FINANCIAL

customers under the same criteria is available, we consider these samples reviewed for the purpose of assessing the pricing term using the transaction price between the Company and independent third parties are fair and representative. We noted that the prices offered by the Group to Huayi Glass under the Huayi Glass Product Sale Framework Agreement are not less than those offered to the independent third parties. In respect of the payment terms, the payment shall be made before the delivery of ultra-thin float glass to independent third parties, which is materially the same as that of the Huayi Glass Product Sale Framework Agreement. Given that the Ultra-Thin Float Glass Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement is in substance an extension of the Huayi Glass Product Sale Framework Agreement, we have compared the pricing terms and payment terms of both agreements and noted that such terms of the Ultra-Thin Float Glass Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement are materially the same as those of the Huayi Glass Product Sale Framework Agreement, and are not more favourable than those offered to the independent third parties.

Considering that (i) the transaction contemplated under the Ultra-Thin Float Glass Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement has been carried out by the Group in the ordinary and usual course of business; (ii) the terms of the Ultra-Thin Float Glass Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement are materially the same as those of the Huayi Glass Product Sale Framework Agreement; and (iii) the terms offered by the Group to Fangxing Science & Technology and its subsidiaries will not be more favourable than those offered to the independent third parties, we are of the view that the terms of the Ultra-Thin Float Glass Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement are fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned, and that the entering into of the Ultra-Thin Float Glass Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement is in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

2.2.2. The CNBMG Engineering Equipment and Materials Supply Framework Agreement

Pursuant to the CNBMG Equipment Purchase Framework Agreement, CNBMG Group has agreed to supply equipment to the Group for its engineering projects at a price to be determined with reference to the prevailing market price at the time of particular transaction. The prices offered to the Group by CNBMG Group will not be less favourable than those offered to the Group by other independent third parties on the same or similar equipment. In principle, the payment shall be made before the delivery of the equipment to the Company or other methods to be agreed by both parties to the CNBMG Engineering Equipment and Materials Supply Agreement.

LETTER FROM GOLDIN FINANCIAL

Upon discussion with the management of the Group, we understood that the equipment to be supplied under the CNBMG Engineering Equipment and Materials Supply Framework Agreement will be used for the future engineering projects of the Group in relation to its production and operating activities, including but not limited to (i) environmental protection projects for the production lines of the Group; and (ii) the cold repair of one of the production lines of the Group, respectively.

When assessing the pricing basis used for charging the equipment for the environmental protection projects, we have been provided with the agreement entered into between EPR Institute, being a subsidiary of CNBMG, and an independent third party in respect of the supply of equipment for the environmental protection projects, further details are set out in the paragraphs under the section headed “1.2 Principal terms of the New Project Agreements”. We were given to understand that the pricing terms of such agreement are generally based on the scale and type of the relevant projects, as well as the specific requirements of types of equipment and material for such relevant projects, which would directly determine the total cost of different types and quantities of project materials and project equipment to be required for such project. Despite there is no predetermined price list given the possibility of numerous combinations of the above criteria for an equipment, the price of the equipment offered to the Company is generally determined by applying a mark-up percentage onto the total cost of different types and quantities of project materials and project equipment to be required for such project, which the mark-up percentage will be subject to the arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the CNBMG Group with reference to the then market practice and no less favourable than those from independent third parties when supplying similar equipment. Due to the unavailability of a predetermined price list, we noted that it is the industrial pricing norm to adopt a price determination policy that takes mark-up percentage into account. We further noted that the Group will seek to obtain market price information through various channels, which include (i) reference made to comparable transactions (if any) by independent third parties during the same period; (ii) through communication and exchange of market information with at least two peers and/or customers within the glass production industry. After collecting the market information, the terms including the pricing and payment terms will then be assessed and approved by the Finance department and relevant operations department. In the event that no such market information for such specific equipment, the Company shall make reference to prices charged for other equipment with similar specifications. Considering that the pricing terms of the equipment are no less favourable than those from independent third parties and will be determined after communication and exchange

— 46 —

LETTER FROM GOLDIN FINANCIAL

of market information among peers and customers within the glass production industry in the PRC, we are of the view that the price determination is conducted in a fair and reasonable manner. In addition, the payment terms are to be determined between the Company and the CNBMG Group after arm’s length negotiations, which, as advised by the management of the Company, are with reference to the delivery of the equipment and the project schedule, we consider that the pricing terms and payment terms are materially the same as those under the CNBMG Engineering Equipment and Materials Supply Framework Agreement and are no less favourable than those offered by CNBMG to other independent third parties.

Regarding the cold repair to one of the production lines of the Group, CNBMG Group is a major contractor in the market which provides equipment required for cold repair of glass production lines and hence, there was no transaction entered into between the Group and independent third parties supplying similar equipement for the cold repair of the production lines. We were given to understand that for each production line, it is an industrial common practice to replace the furnace through cold repair at or near to the end of the production line’s useful life, which on average lasts for approximately eight to ten years. In order to assess the terms charged for providing equipment for conducting cold repair to the production line of the Group, we have reviewed the agreement entered into between the CNBMG Group and the independent third party supplying equipment to the cold repair of glass production lines. We noted that the pricing terms are generally based on the production capacity of the production lines, the requirements of types of equipment for the corresponding production lines and the types of the production lines, while the payment terms are based on the delivery of the equipment and the project schedule, which are materially the same as the pricing terms and payment terms under CNBMG Engineering Equipment and Materials Supply Framework Agreement. As such, we consider that the terms including the pricing terms and payment terms under the CNBMG Engineering Equipment and Materials Supply Framework Agreement in respect of the equipment for the cold repair of the production line are no less favourable than the principal terms offered by CNBMG Group to other independent third parties.

2.2.3. The CNBMG Engineering Technical Services Framework Agreement

Pursuant to the CNBMG Engineering Technical Services Framework Agreement, CNBMG Group (including CLFG Group) agreed to provide technical services to the Group including but are not limited to project feasibility study reports, project feasibility plans, design, organization and implementation of the project plans, engineering technical consulting, the installation of equipment required by the project, engineering construction and assisting the organisation in resuming production in response to accidental operational incidents, etc. The prices for the services to be rendered will be determined with reference to (i) the applicable State Price; or (ii) the market price, if there is no applicable State Price for any such services. The price for providing the same or similar services to independent third parties in Luoyang City or areas near Luoyang City will be considered when determining the market price. The Group shall pay for the services rendered by CNBMG Group during the year within one month upon the receipt of the payment notice in the first month of the following year from CNBMG Group.

When assessing the pricing basis used for charging the technical services to be rendered with regard to the environmental protection projects, as advised by the management of the Company, we noted that there was no transaction entered into between the Group and independent third parties supplying similar technical services for similar environmental protection projects. Alternatively, we have been provided with an agreement entered into between the CNBMG Group and an independent third party supplying technical services for the environmental protection projects, and noted that the pricing terms are generally based on the production capacity, the types and the locations of the production lines and therefore the required types of technical services and number of technical staff for the corresponding production lines, which are materially the same as the pricing

LETTER FROM GOLDIN FINANCIAL

terms under the CNBMG Engineering Technical Services Framework Agreement. While the payment terms of such agreement which is a one-off project, are based on the delivery of the equipment and the project schedule, we noted that the Group shall pay the price of the services rendered by CNBMG Group during the year within one month upon the receipt of the payment notice in the first month of the following year from CNBMG Group under the CNBMG Engineering Technical Services Framework Agreement. Having considered that the CNBMG Engineering Technical Services Framework Agreement is on a continuous basis for a term of three years and that the payment terms could be amended subject to the entering into of a supplemental contract for each single project and the Company confirmed that the payment terms will not be less favourable than those available to the Group offered by independent third parties we are of the view that the terms including the pricing terms and payment terms of the CNBMG Engineering Technical Services Framework Agreement in respect of the technical services for the environmental protection systems are no less favourable than those offered by CNBMG to other independent third parties.

CNBMG Group owns a number of leading research institutes among the glass industry and subsidiaries which are specialised in the design and contracting of the glass business related projects. These demonstrate the outstanding technological strength, high professional standard and practical experience of CNBMG Group and hence, there was no transaction entered into between the Group and independent third parties supplying similar technical services. In order to assess the terms charged for providing technical services for conducting cold repair to one of the production lines of the Group, we have reviewed the agreement entered into between the CNBMG Group and an independent third party supplying technical services for the cold repair of glass production line, and noted that the pricing terms are generally based on the production capacity, the types and the locations of the production lines and therefore the required types of technical services and number of technical staff for the corresponding production lines, which are materially the same as the pricing terms under the CNBMG Engineering Technical Services Framework Agreement. While the payment terms of such agreement which is a one-off project, are based on the delivery of the equipment and the project schedule, we noted that the the Group shall pay the price of the services rendered by CNBMG Group during the year within one month upon the receipt of the payment notice in the first month of the following year from CNBMG Group. Having considered that the CNBMG Engineering Technical Services Framework Agreement is on a continuous basis for a term of three years, and that the payment terms could be amended subject to the entering into of a supplemental contract for each single project and the Company confirmed that the payment terms will not

be less favourable than those available to the Group offered by independent third parties, we are of the view that the terms including the pricing terms and payment terms under the CNBMG Engineering Technical Services Framework Agreement in respect of the technical services for the cold repair of the production lines are no less favourable than those offered by CNBMG Group to other independent third parties.

Considering that (i) the transactions contemplated under the CNBMG Engineering Technical Services Framework Agreement will be carried out by the Group in the ordinary and usual course of business; and (ii) the terms including the pricing terms and payment terms under the CNBMG Engineering Technical Services Framework Agreement are no less favourable than those offered by CNBMG Group to other independent third parties, we are of the view that the terms of the CNBMG Engineering Technical Services Framework Agreement are fair and reasonable so far as the Group and the Independent Shareholders are concerned, and that the entering into of the CNBMG Engineering Technical Services Framework Agreement is in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

2.3. Historical transactions and proposed Annual Caps

2.3.1. The Ultra-Thin Float Glass Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement

The table below summarises (i) the existing cap amounts for each of the three years ended 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 respectively; (ii) the actual transaction amounts recorded for the two years ended 31 December 2013 and the nine months ended 30 September 2014; and (iii) the proposed New Caps for each of the three years ending 31 December 2015, 2016 and 2017 respectively, with respect to the transactions contemplated under the Ultra-thin Float Glass Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement:

LETTER FROM GOLDIN FINANCIAL

Notes:

  1. Based on the annual cap amounts as set out in the Huayi Glass Product Sale Framework Agreement dated 18 October 2011 entered into between the Company as supplier and Huayi Glass as purchaser.

  2. Based on the aggregate annual cap amount as set out in (a) the Huayi Glass Product Sale Framework Agreement dated 18 October 2011 entered into between the Company as supplier and Huayi Glass as purchaser; and (b) the Product Sale Agreement dated 20 January 2014 entered into between the Company as supplier and Fangxing Science & Technology as purchaser.

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the proposed New Caps were determined based on the management’s internal projection on the estimated amount of ultra-thin float flat glass to be sold to Fangxing Science & Technology and its subsidiaries by the Group after taking into account (i) the anticipated increase in demand of Fangxing Science & Technology and its subsidiaries on the ultra-thin float glass; (ii) the increase in production capacity of ultra-thin float glass of the Group in the future; and (iii) the anticipated change in the selling price of the ultrathin float glass in the PRC with reference to the prevailing market price.

It is noted that, with respect to the transactions contemplated under the Ultra-thin Float Glass Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement, (i) the actual transaction amounts demonstrate a downward trend, with actual transaction amount decreased from RMB88.56 million for the year ended 31 December 2012 to RMB27.33 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2014; (ii) there are shortfalls between the actual transaction amount and the corresponding existing annual cap for the respective year, with the actual transaction amount for the nine months ended 30 September 2014 representing only approximately 11.52% of the existing annual cap for the year ending 31 December 2014; and (iii) the actual transaction amount for the nine months ended 30 September 2014 only represents approximately 12.77% of the proposed New Cap for the year ending 31 December 2015. On the other hand, the proposed New Caps for the two years ending 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2017 represent modest growths of approximately 4.67% and 4.46% respectively over the corresponding New Cap for the prior year.

LETTER FROM GOLDIN FINANCIAL

We have discussed with the management of the Company with respect to the adoption of the aforesaid factors in determining the New Caps for the Ultra-thin Float Glass Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement, and the contrast between the New Caps and the actual transaction amount as illustrated above. In respect of the shortfall, in particular the actual transaction amount for the nine months ended 30 September 2014 represented only approximately 11.52% of the existing annual cap for the year ending 31 December 2014, we were given to understand that the glass melting furnace of one of the existing production lines entered into later service period which affected the quality of its ultra-thin float glass products, resulting in that part of the products cannot satisfy the needs and requirement of Fangxing Science & Technology and its subsidiaries, therefore, the supply of the Company to Fangxing Scrience & Technology was lowered. Furthermore, we were given to understand that the anticipated increase in demand of Fangxing Science & Technology and its subsidiaries on the ultra-thin float glass, which shall be used as glass substrates for its products, is derived from the expected increasing downstream demand for quality display components, being the primary products of Fangxing Science & Technology, for mobile devices and electronic devices with large panel displays.

Fangxing Science & Technology is principally engaged in the research and development, production and sale of indium-tin oxide (ITO) electropane, as well as online bi-layer coated glass, vacuum coated glass, processed glass products and new materials, etc. Based on our research conducted with the media coverage in the public domain, flat panel display such as liquid-crystal display (LCD) used as the display component of electronic devices, consists of, among other arch types, glass substrate coated with ITO. Such technology can also be found in smartphones, in which the capacitive touchscreen panels are made of insulators such as glass, and coated with transparent conducts including ITO.

We have researched on the information from the public domain with respect to the market of float glass in connection with the downstream market of mobile devices in the PRC. According to a news article published by Sina Tech (www. tech.sina.com.cn) on 14 October 2014, in the speech given by the Head of the School of Physics Sciences of the University of Science and Technology of China, who graduated with a Doctorial degree in physics and has over thirty years of experience in conducting professional research in various areas including the area of LCD, at《中國2014國際顯示產業高峰論壇》(China — Global Display Equipment Industry Summit, 2014*), it is analysed that the market share of the PRC in the flat panel display market is expected to reach 18.6%, and that the domestic production capacity of thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-

— 52 —

LETTER FROM GOLDIN FINANCIAL

LCD) is expected to become the second highest globally by 2015. According to the review of the domestic mobile phone market for 2013 published by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC (www.miit.gov.cn) on 7 March 2014, the number of mobile phones produced in the PRC in 2013 increased by about 24.1% year-on-year to about 579 million units, of which the number of smartphones increased by about 64.1% year-on-year to about 423 million units. Hence, the above figures demonstrate a robust growth in the demand and supply of high-end touchscreen smartphones in the PRC over the last two years, and suggest that the increasing trend will continue in the near future. According to a news article published by《每日經濟新聞》(National Business Daily, www.nbd.com.cn) on 10 November 2014, the domestic market of panel glass, or glass substrate used in the production of display units is dominated as to 90% by foreign manufacturers such as Corning Inc. from the United States and Asahi Glass Co., Ltd. from Japan. Notwithstanding the dominating position of these foreign manufacturers, on 16 October 2014, the National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC jointly issued the 《2014-2016年新型顯示產業創新發展行動計劃》(Development Action Plan for the New Model Display Equipment Industry, 2014 to 2016*), which states that it is part of the country’s plan for 2016 to raise the domestic procurement rate of the production of small and mid-size display units to 60%, and that of the production of large-size LCD and active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) display units to 30%, with the primary objective to boost the development of domestic manufacturers through encouraging domestic procurement of materials and components in the production value chain of display units. On the other hand, it is also mentioned in the same news article that it is probable that the PRC antimonopoly law will be enforced in the market of glass substrate, which has been dominated by a few foreign players. The enforcement of the anti-monopoly law will therefore further open up rooms and opportunities for the development of domestic glass manufacturers.

Based on the above factors, we consider that the downstream demand for domestic display units, being the primary products of Fangxing Science & Technology, is expected to increase, and potentially results in demand by Fangxing Science & Technology and its subsidiaries on the ultra-thin float glass, which is used as glass substrates, an essential component, for its products.

As such, we are of the view that the proposed New Caps under the Ultra-thin Float Glass Sale and Purchase Framework Agreement are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

LETTER FROM GOLDIN FINANCIAL

With respect to the transactions contemplated under the CNBMG Engineering Technical Services Framework Agreement, it is noted that (i) the actual transaction amounts for the nine months ended 30 September 2014 represents approximately 42.24% of the existing annual cap for the year ending 31 December 2014; (ii) the actual transaction amounts for the nine months ended 30 September 2014 represents approximately 51.53% of the proposed New Cap for the year ending 31 December 2015; and (iii) the proposed New Cap for the year ending 31 December 2016 represents a growth rate of approximately 33.33% over the proposed New Cap for the year ending 31 December 2015, while the proposed New Caps for each of the two years ending 31 December 2017 are equal.

We have discussed with the management of the Company with respect to adoption of the aforesaid factors in determining the New Caps for the CNBMG Engineering Equipment and Materials Supply Framework Agreement and the CNBMG Engineering Technical Services Framework Agreement. We were given to understand that the New Cap for the year ending 31 December 2015 for the CNBMG Engineering Equipment and Materials Supply Framework Agreement relates to the expected amount to be incurred for the environmental protection projects for the Group’s other production lines, on top of installations of smoke gas treatment systems provided to the production lines of Longhai Glass and Longmen Glass under the Longhai Glass Production Line Smoke Gas Dust Removal and Denitration Project Design and Installation Agreement and the Longhai Glass Production Line Smoke Gas Dust Removal and Denitration Project Equipment Agreement, respectively. Such engineering work to the Group’s production lines is part of the Group’s development strategy to align with the national policies on energy conservation through the environmental protection projects. We were also given to understand that the annual New Caps for each of the two years ending 31 December 2017 relate to the expected costs to be incurred for the cold repair for one of its production lines, with reference to the original production costs of such production line after taking into account the technology augmentations to be effected thereon. Due to the uncertainty over the timetable of the execution of the aforesaid cold repair, the New Caps for each of the two years ending 31 December 2017 represent the full expected costs to be incurred for the cold repair for prudence sake. It is also noted that the New Caps for each of the three years ending 31 December 2017 relate to the expected costs to be incurred for the relevant design, engineering and other technical services required for the transactions contemplated under the CNBMG Engineering Equipment and Materials Supply Framework Agreement.
