The considerations of the Agreements were determined after arm’s length negotiations between the parties thereto with reference to the then prevailing market price of quartz sand. The Directors confirmed that the quartz sand prices offered to Zhonglian Glass were not lower than those offered by Yinan Huacheng to other third parties.

The considerations of the Agreements were payable within 3 days upon receipt of the quartz sand by Zhonglian Glass. According to the record of Yinan Huacheng, Yinan Huacheng has supplied 10,529 tons, 9,316 tons and 9,334 tons of quartz sand to Zhonglian Glass pursuant to the 1st Agreement, 2nd Agreement and 3rd Agreement respectively with a total consideration of RMB1,950,683.35. Zhonglian Glass has fully settled the considerations under the Agreements before December 2010.

REASONS FOR ENTERING INTO THE AGREEMENTS

Yinan Huacheng is situated at Yinan, Shandong Province, which is far away from the factories of Zhonglian Glass. Yinan Huacheng was not a supplier of Zhonglian Glass before the transactions contemplated under the Agreements. Due to certain unforeseen problem with the quartz sand suppliers of Zhonglian Glass, Yinan Huachent has agreed to temporarily supply quartz sand to Zhonglian Glass at the latter’s requests in January, April and June 2010.

The terms of the Agreements were determined after arm’s length negotiation between the parties thereto. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the sale of quartz sand and the terms of the Agreements are in the ordinary course of business and on normal commercial terms, and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As mentioned above, Zhonglian Glass is a connected person of the Company. The transaction contemplated under each of the Agreements constitutes a connected transaction of the Company.

The consideration of each of the 1st Agreement, 2nd Agreement and 3rd Agreement is less than HK$1,000,000. According to Rule 14A.31(2) of the Listing Rules, each of these individual Agreements is exempt from the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements. However, when the Agreements are aggregated pursuant to Rule 14A.25 of the Listing Rules, each of the applicable percentage ratios after aggregation is more than 0.1% but less than 5%. Therefore, the Agreements are subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but exempt from the independent shareholders’ approval requirements according to Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Messrs. Shen Anqin, Bao Wenchun and Guo Yimin, the then non-executive Directors of the Company, have abstained from voting to approve the Agreements at the Board meetings due to the fact that they were nominated by CLFG and were regarded not independent to make any recommendation to the Board.

The inadvertent omission of announcing the Agreements was discovered when the Group was preparing its consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010. Shortly after the discovery, the Company has then prepared this announcement to rectify the matter.
