We refer to the Composite Document issued jointly by the Offeror and the Company dated 3 December 2025 of which this letter forms part. Unless the context requires otherwise, terms used in this letter shall have the same meaning as those defined in the Composite Document.
We have been appointed by the Board to form the Independent Board Committee to consider and to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether or not the Offer is fair and reasonable and to make a recommendation as to the acceptance of the Offer.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE
We, being the members of the Independent Board Committee, have declared that, we are independent and do not have any conflict of interest in respect of the Offer and are therefore able to consider the terms of the Offer and to make recommendations to the Independent Shareholders.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Having considered the terms of the Offer and the advice from the Independent Financial Adviser, in particular the factors, reasons and recommendations as set out in its letter in the Composite Document, we consider that the Offer is not fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Shareholders not to accept the Offer. The Independent Shareholders are recommended to read the full text of the “Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser” as set out in the Composite Document.
However, for those Independent Shareholders who are considering to realise all or part of their holdings in the Shares, they should closely monitor the market price and liquidity of the Shares during the period of the Offer.

1. Financial information of the Group and outlook
1.1 Historical financial information of the Group
The Company is a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 6 November 2015 as an exempted company with limited liability. The Group is principally engaged in provision of electrical and mechanical engineering services in Macau and Hong Kong. The scope of the Group's electrical and mechanical engineering services mainly consisted of supply, installation and maintenance of electrical system, for new and existing buildings in the projects of commercial and residential development, hotel development, casino development, hotel renovation and sports venue in Macau and Hong Kong and trading of electrical cables.
Set out below is a summary of the financial information of the Group for the two years ended 31 December 2023 and 2024 as extracted from the annual report of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2024 (the "2024 Annual Report") and the six months ended 30 June 2024 and 2025 as extracted from the interim report of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (the "2025 Interim Report"), respectively:

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
Financial performance for the six months ended 30 June 2024 ("6M2024") and the six months ended 30 June 2025 ("6M2025")
Based on the 2025 Interim Report, revenue of the Group decreased by approximately 57.7% from approximately HK$50.9 million for 6M2024 to approximately HK$21.5 million for 6M2025. The revenue for 6M2025 mainly comprised approximately HK$19.1 million from provision of electrical and mechanical engineering services and approximately HK$2.4 million from trading of electrical cables. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to the sluggishness in the construction markets of Hong Kong and Macau. The slow economic recovery, global economy's uncertainties and elevated borrowing costs have led to the continuous sluggishness.
Notwithstanding the decrease in revenue in 6M2025, the gross profit of the Group increased from approximately HK$2.0 million for 6M2024 to approximately HK$3.8 million for 6M2025, representing an increase of approximately 88.7% and the gross profit margin also increased from approximately 3.9% in 6M2024 to approximately 17.6% in 6M2025. The increase in gross profit margin was mainly attributable to the trading of electrical cables segment. The Directors consider that the gross profit margin of construction projects has been impacted severely by the downturn of the construction market. The Group is striving to implement various cost-saving measures to achieve a higher gross margin of the Group.
The Group recorded profit attributable to owners of the Company for 6M2025 of approximately HK$0.2 million versus loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$7.4 million for 6M2024 which was resulted from (1) increase in gross profit as stated above; and (2) the reversals of impairment losses under expected credit loss ("ECL") model, net increased from approximately HK$0.2 million in 6M2024 to approximately HK$6.5 million in 6M2025.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
Financial performance for the year ended 31 December 2023 ("FY2023") and the year ended 31 December 2024 ("FY2024")
We noted from the 2024 Annual Report that the Group recorded revenue of approximately HK$91.7 million for FY2024, representing a decrease of approximately HK$167.2 million or 64.6% as compared to approximately HK$258.9 million for FY2023. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to decrease in contribution of revenue from public properties, one of the property categories to which the Group provides electrical and mechanical engineering services, from approximately HK$238.3 million in FY2023 to approximately HK$63.9 million in FY2024, representing a decrease of approximately HK$174.4 million or 73.2%. Such decrease was mainly attributable by the largest project on hand (a sport venue development project in Hong Kong) with contract sum over HK$300 million started in 2021 being at completion stages in FY2024 and the Group faced operational challenges including other existing project delays and increasing competition which affected its tendering and the project revenue booked in FY2024. Based on our discussion with the Company, we understand that (i) the value of construction projects currently on hand has decreased during FY2024 as compared to FY2023, primarily as a result of the aforementioned project reached its completion stage in FY2024; and (ii) the aggregate contract amount of tenders in which the Company has participated or applied to has declined, attributable to the increased competition in the construction industry in Hong Kong.
Notwithstanding the decrease in revenue, the gross profit of the Group increased from approximately HK$19.5 million for FY2023 to approximately HK$23.5 million for FY2024, representing an increase of approximately 20.5%. The gross profit margin increased from approximately 7.5% in FY2023 to approximately 25.6% in FY2024 which was attributable to (1) cost saving measurements implemented in Macau and Hong Kong; and (2) revaluation of budget project cost in the sport venue development project in Hong Kong.
The Group recorded a change in profit attributable to owners of the Company to approximately HK$3.8 million for FY2024 from loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$8.0 million for FY2023, mainly attributable to (1) increase in gross profit as stated above; (2) there is a change from impairment losses under ECL model of approximately HK$3.7 million in FY2023 to reversal of impairment losses under ECL model of approximately HK$2.1 million in FY2024; and (3) reduction of other losses from approximately HK$2.8 million in FY2023 to nil in FY2024.

1.2 Outlook and prospects of the Group
As stated in 2025 Interim Report, considering the latest situation of Macau and Hong Kong economies from the continued weak property market sentiment in Macau and Hong Kong, the Directors expect a challenging business environment in the coming years. The Group recognized the need to diversify its revenue streams in the future. Thus, the Group continues to expand its business to trading of construction materials. In view of the rapidly increasing demand for electric vehicles ("EV") charging facilities, the Company will focus on the E&M work of this aspect, positioning it well for its future growth, and reinforcing its status as a trusted provider of EV charging solutions. The Management is prudently assessing and evaluating the E&M markets in Macau and Hong Kong and will continue to strive for capturing the new market for E&M engineering services. Leveraging its extensive service provision in this sector, the Group has established a solid industry network, which provides a substantial foundation for the new cable trading venture. The Group will focus on sourcing high-quality electrical cables with the aim of establishing the Group as a reliable distributor within the Hong Kong construction market. As disclosed in the 2025 Interim Report, the Group has recorded approximately HK$2.4 million of revenue from the trading of electrical cables segment. As advised by Management, the Company has secured contracts amounting to not less than HK$30 million from the trading of electrical cables, the contracts of which are expected to be completed in the year ending 31 December 2026.
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
In light of the rapidly growing demand for EV charging infrastructure, the Group will strategically focus its E&M expertise on this high-growth sector. This pivot is designed to position the Company for sustained future growth and solidify its status as a trusted and leading provider of EV charging solutions. The EV charging solution business will be delivered through a streamlined model encompassing hardware provision and expert installation, drawing directly on the deep E&M engineering heritage of the Group. It is strategically concentrating on the private residential segment with existing parking facilities, a market with acute demand but currently limited quality service providers, thereby presenting a substantial and immediate opportunity.
Based on the information published on the website of the Environmental Branch – Environmental and Ecology Bureau of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region¹ (the “HK Government”), the HK Government has implemented various measures and financial initiatives to promote the use of electric vehicles, such as the “Fast Charger Incentive Scheme” launched in 2025 to support the rising number of electric vehicles. As at the end of September 2025, the total number of EV chargers for public usage amounted to approximately 15,578 in Hong Kong, with the target of providing additional 3,000 EV chargers by the end of 2028. In parallel, data disclosed on the website of the Government Portal of Macau Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China² indicated that, as at 31 July 2025, the number of new registrations of motor vehicles decreased by 2.9% year-on-year, while the proportion of EV growing by 7.5 percentage points to 37.9%, demonstrating the growing trend in EV adoption.
According to the Hong Kong Census and Statistics Department, the value of construction works at locations other than sites – special trades (carpentry, electrical equipment, ventilation, gas and water fitting installation and maintenance etc) for main contractor and sub-contractor in 2024 were approximately HK$35,444 million and HK$86,353 million respectively, representing a 4.1% and 2.8% growth comparing with 2023.
According to the Government of Macao Statistics and Census Service, in 2024, the construction industry’s revenue increased by 3.7% year-on-year to MOP54.66 billion, of which revenue from contracted projects was MOP53.37 billion, representing an increase of 2.4%; total expenditure increased by 4.2% to MOP50.61 billion. Industry profits decreased by 1.8% year-on-year to MOP4.04 billion, and the total added value was MOP12.98 billion, representing a decrease of 10.0%.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
Based on the aforesaid, we consider that the industry of the Group's business has moderate growth but with increasing competition, while the Group continues to face operational challenges which reflected in its revenue decrease in FY2024 and 6M2025. Nevertheless, the increasing demand of EV charging solutions, coupled with the measures introduced by the HK Government, the increasing EV adoption in Macau and the Group's effort to continue to capture the growing demand of EV charging solutions as shown by the increasing revenue recognised from the trading of electrical cables as abovementioned, may also drive the growth of the Group's business in future.

First Review Period
During the First Review Period, the closing price of the Shares remained largely stable ranging from the lowest closing price of HK$0.045 per Share up to the highest closing price at HK$0.116 per Share (“First Review Period Price Range”), with an average of HK$0.063 per Share. The Offer Price of HK$0.11 represents a premium of approximately 74.6% over the average closing price during the First Review Period.
Second Review Period
The Second Review Period recorded closing price ranging from HK$0.48 to HK$0.61 (the “Second Review Period Price Range”), with an average closing price of HK$0.539 per Share. During the Second Review Period, the closing price of the Shares experienced a notable increase upon the resumption of trading on 4 December 2025 after the Joint Announcement has been published, with the closing price surging from HK$0.103 on 25 November 2025 to HK$0.485 on 4 December 2025. Based on our discussion with Management, save for the publication of the Joint Announcement, the Management were not aware of any material matters potentially caused the aforesaid movement. We consider that the notable increase in closing price per Share were primarily attributable to the market reaction and anticipation to the Offer following release of the Joint Announcement, which could be a temporary reaction to the Offer as they may not be supported by the Group’s underlying fundamentals, and it may or may not persist after the Offer Period. Shareholders should closely monitor the market prices of the Shares before deciding whether to sell their Shares in the open market or accept the Offer. Apart from the brief spike, the overall performance of the closing prices were generally stable.
Shareholders should note that the information set out above is not an indicator of the future performance of Shares and that the price of Shares in the future may increase or decrease from its closing price as at the Latest Practicable Date.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
Notes:
- Calculated based on the total number of the Shares in issue at the end of month/period.
- Calculated based on the total number of the Shares held by public shareholders as at the end of each month/period.
- During the Review Period, the trading in the Shares had been halted on 26 November 2025 and trading was resumed on 4 December 2025.
As set out in the table above, during the First Review Period, the percentage of average daily number of Shares traded relative to the total number of Shares in issue ranged from approximately 0.01% to 0.24%, with an average of approximately 0.06%. It is noted that in 9 out of the 12 months, the trading percentage falls below the average of 0.06%. In addition, the percentage of average daily trading volume to the total number of Shares held by public shareholders ranged from approximately 0.02% to 0.96%, with an average of approximately 0.23%, and it is noted that 9 out of the 12 months recorded a percentage below of the aforesaid average of 0.23%. It is further noted, during the First Review Period, there were a total of trading days, of which 53 days recorded no trading of Shares.
It is noted that, during the First Review Period, November 2025 recorded a comparatively high trading volume than other months from 25 November 2024 to October 2025, accounting for approximately 0.24% to the total number of Shares in issue and 0.96% to the number of Shares held by public Shareholders (versus the average of approximately 0.06% to the total number of Shares in issue and 0.23% to the number of Shares held by public Shareholders from 25 November 2024 to October 2025). Based on our further review, the high trading volume was primarily attributable to the trading activity on 18 and 19 November 2025, which recorded volumes of approximately 24,980,000 and 20,480,000 respectively. As advised by the Management, they are not aware of any material events that could have contributed to the aforesaid elevated trading activity.
During the Second Review Period, the percentage of average daily trading volume of the Shares relative to the total number of Shares in issue were approximately 2.26%, and approximately 9.04% relative to the total number of Shares held by public Shareholders.
Given the percentage of average daily trading volume to total number of Shares in issue and to total number of Shares held by public Shareholders generally remained below 0.1% during the First Review Period, we consider that the trading liquidity of the Shares have been thin in the open market, which may impose limitation on potential investor participation. In this context, Shareholders shall be aware that, depending on their shareholding size, when attempting to realise their investment or dispose their Shares in the open market could potentially exert downward pressure on the price of the Shares causing the sale proceeds from the disposal in the open market to be lower than Offer Price.

3.4 Market comparable analysis
With a view to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Offer Price, we have also conducted market comparable analysis by comparing the price-to-earnings ratio (the “P/E Ratio”) and the price-to-book ratio (the “P/B Ratio”) of the Company as implied by the Offer Price and based on the closing price of the Share on the Last Trading Day against that of other listed companies on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange that engages in similar business to those of the Group.
Based on the unaudited net asset value attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$213,164,000 as at 30 June 2025, the P/B ratio of the Company based on the closing price on the Last Trading Day and the Offer Price, would be approximately 0.97 and 1.03 times, respectively.
For the purpose of our analysis, we have identified comparable companies based on the following criteria: (a) the shares of which are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange; (b) the listed company(ies) that principally engaged, with over 50% of their revenue generated from the provision of electrical and mechanical engineering works in Hong Kong and/or Macau, which are of a similar nature as the Company; (c) the market capitalization of which ranged between HK$100 million to HK$2,000 million as at the Last Trading Day, determined with reference to the market capitalization of the Company during the Review Period, which ranged between approximately HK$90 million to HK$1,220 million based on the lowest and highest closing price recorded; and (d) the trading of shares of the subject companies were not suspended on the Last Trading Day and Latest Practicable Date (the “Criteria”). Companies that fall into the aforesaid Criteria but recorded net liabilities as at the latest financial year/period have been excluded for the purpose of this analysis.
Based on the Criteria, we have identified an exhaustive list of 11 comparable companies (the “Comparable Companies”). The table below sets out the P/E Ratio and the P/B Ratio of the Company for comparison purposes.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
It is noted from the above table that the Comparable Companies recorded P/E Ratio between approximately 4.69 times to 51.80 times with an average of approximately 20.46 times. The Company's P/E Ratio based on the Offer Price would be approximately 57.86 times which is higher than all of the Comparable Companies.
The P/B Ratio of the Comparable Companies were between approximately 0.11 times to 3.53 times with an average of approximately 1.25 times. The Company's P/B Ratio based on the Offer Price would be approximately 1.03 times which is lower than the average of the Comparable Companies.
3.5 Summary of our analysis
Notwithstanding (a) the Offer Price represents a premium of approximately 6.36% over the closing price of HK$0.103 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day; (b) the Company's P/E Ratio based on the Offer Price would be approximately 57.86 times which is higher than all of the Comparable Companies, we consider the Offer Price to be not attractive after taking into account of (a) the closing price of the Shares increased significantly in the Second Review Period which the Offer Price is at a notable discount of approximately 79.5% to the average closing price of Shares during the Second Review Period and substantially below the closing Share price of HK$0.60 as at the Latest Practicable Date; (b) the historical trading liquidity of the Shares has been generally low in the open market during the First Review Period, but both price and liquidity has increased since the publication of the Joint Announcement during the Second Review Period which may be attributable to market reactions to the Offer and/or prospects of the Group being controlled by the Offeror after the Offer, such level of liquidity and/or price may or may not be sustainable; (c) the Company's P/B Ratio based on the Offer Price would be approximately 1.03 times which is lower than the average of the Comparable Companies.
In summary, (i) the Shares of the Company demonstrated thin liquidity during the First Review Period; (ii) the Offer Price represents a premium to historical closing price, thereby providing an incentive for Shareholders to realise their investment; and (iii) P/E Ratio of the Company, implied by the Offer Price, are above the average of peers. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, after taken into account the recent performance of the Shares and trading liquidity which increased significantly during the Second Review Period, though potentially a temporary reaction, the Offer Price now represents a substantial discount of approximately 79.5% to the average closing price during the Second Review Period (as compared to the premium of approximately 75.0% over the average closing price during the First Review Period) and P/B Ratio of the Company, implied by the Offer Price, are below the average of peers, we consider the Offer Price to be not fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
Nevertheless, the Independent Shareholders should also note that (i) there is no guarantee that the Share price will sustain at a level above the Offer Price and/or after the Offer Period; and (ii) the Independent Shareholders (regardless to their amount of shareholdings) may not be able to realise their investments in the Shares at a price higher than the Offer Price when they are going to dispose of their partial or entire holdings. In such circumstances, the Offer might provide an exit alternative for the Independent Shareholders who would like to realise their investments in the Shares at the Offer Price.
RECOMMENDATION
Having considered the abovementioned principal factors and reasons for the Offer, including:
(a) our analysis on the historical financial performance and position of the Group, which highlights ongoing challenges faced by the Group in sustaining business scale as the historical revenue has continued to decline, as discussed under paragraph headed "1. Financial information of the Group and outlook";
(b) the Company's target to leverage its E&M expertise to cater for the fast-growing EV charging industry, a segment with strong potential demand yet requires extensive market penetration to differentiate from existing market participants and effectively contribute to the Group's long-term growth;
(c) the Offer Price represents a premium of approximately 6.36% over the closing price of HK$0.103 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
(d) after the Acquisition, the Company may be able to benefit from Mr. Yao's profound experience in business operations, though his background may not be in the exact same line of business as the Group, he has built substantial experience and cultivated professional network in PRC and his management capabilities and client relations skills would be able to support the Group's existing principal business, contribute meaningfully to the Company's strategic direction and achieve sustainable long term growth, which is expected to exert positive influence to the Company's overall performance and prospects;
(e) the Company's P/E Ratio based on the Offer Price would be approximately 57.86 times which is higher than all of the Comparable Companies;
- 51 -
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
(f) the Company's P/B Ratio based on the Offer Price would be approximately 1.03 times which is lower than the average of the Comparable Companies;
(g) the closing price of the Shares increased significantly in the Second Review Period which the Offer Price is at a notable discount to the average closing price of Shares during the Second Review Period and substantially below the closing Share price of HK$0.60 as at the Latest Practicable Date; and
(h) the historical trading liquidity of the Shares has been generally low in the open market during the First Review Period, but both price and liquidity has increased since the publication of the Joint Announcement during the Second Review Period which may be attributable to market reactions to the Offer and/or prospects of the Group being controlled by the Offeror after the Offer, such level of liquidity and/or price may or may not be sustainable,
we are of the opinion that in particular taken into account of the Company may be able to benefit from Mr. Yao's profound experience in business operations after the Acquisition in supporting the existing principal business of the Group; the closing price of the Shares increased significantly in the Second Review Period and the recent closing price of the Shares indicating that acceptance of the Offer would result in Shareholders receiving substantially less in return than they would by disposing their Shares in the market, as well as the performance of the Group remained mediocre shown by the diminishing revenue, the Offer to be not fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned. The Independent Shareholders are recommended to sell their Shares in the open market instead of accepting the Offer, if the net proceeds from the sale of such Shares in the open market would exceed the net proceeds receivable under the Offer. Taking into account the factors above, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders not to accept the Offer. In view of the recent volatility of the closing share price during the Second Review Period, Independent Shareholders who wish to take the opportunity of the market price of the Shares to realise their investment in the Shares in the open market are reminded to closely monitor the market price and the trading liquidity of Shares during the Offer Period.
