THE ACQUISITION
Details of the Auction
Longmen FRP has been declared bankrupt by the Intermediate People’s Court of Luoyang City of Henan Province due to its inability to repay its debts at maturity. On 26 December 2011, the Auction was held by 河南博利達拍賣有限公司 (Henan Bolida Auction Company Limited*) (the “ Auctioneer ”) at which the Assets owned by Longmen FRP were offered for bidding. Longmen Glass participated in the Auction and won the bid for the Assets at a consideration of RMB3,100,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$3,813,000).
Assets to be acquired
The Assets include but not limited to production plants, office buildings, assembly warehouses, canteen, cars and machineries (conical twin-screw plastic extruders, high-speed accurate mixers, crushers, water circulation system and power supply system, etc.).
Consideration, payment and delivery
The consideration of the Assets is RMB3,100,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$3,813,000), which was the reserve price of the Assets at the Auction. Longmen Glass intends to satisfy the consideration in cash from its internal resources. Longmen Glass entered into a transfer agreement in respect of the Assets with the administrator of Longmen FRP after the Auction, pursuant to which the guarantee deposit of RMB300,000 paid by Longmen Glass before the Auction becomes part of the consideration. The remaining consideration shall be settled in full before 10 January 2012. In addition, Longmen Glass and the Auctioneer also signed a confirmation after the Auction, where a commission of RMB155,000 is payable to the Auctioneer by Longmen Glass.
Longmen Glass shall carry out the handover and transfer formalities of the Assets within three working days after the settlement of the remaining consideration and upon receiving the civil ruling from the Intermediate People’s Court of Luoyang City of Henan Province.

REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION
Longmen Glass is planning for expansion of production and operation spaces. The Assets were situated at the principal place of business of Longmen FRP, the land use right of which is owned by Longmen Glass. Upon the completion of the Acquisition, the Assets can be conveniently transferred and utilized by Longmen Glass. The Acquisition will facilitate the expansion plans of Longmen Glass and hence brings better returns to the Group.
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Acquisition is on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
