CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

INTRODUCTION

On 8 August 2007, the Board announced that the Company’s principal operating subsidiary, Sang Fei, has on the same date entered into the Xenium Licence Agreement with Sang Da Electronics and the Comprehensive Services Agreements with P-Marshall Singapore and P-Marshall HK.

The Board also announced that as a result of anticipated increase in the volume of transactions between Sang Fei and the CEC Group following the completion of the disposal of the mobile handsets business by the Philips Group to CEC, the Company has applied to the Stock Exchange for the revision of the annual caps for certain continuing connected transactions between Sang Fei and the CEC Group pursuant to the Business Services Agreement.

* For identification purpose only

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Sang Da Electronics is a subsidiary of CEC and a substantial shareholder of Sang Fei holding 25% of its equity interest. Each of P-Marshall HK and P-Marshall Singapore is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sang Da Electronics. CEC is the Company’s ultimate controlling Shareholder, holding 74.98% interest in the Company. Therefore, all of Sang Da Electronics, P-Marshall HK, P-Marshall Singapore and CEC are connected persons of the Company. Accordingly, the transactions contemplated under the Xenium Licence Agreement, the Comprehensive Services Agreements and the Business Services Agreement are continuing connected transactions of the Company.

As the expected aggregate consideration payable by the Group under the Xenium Licence Agreement and the Comprehensive Services Agreements on an annual basis and the proposed revised annual caps for the various continuing connected transactions under the Business Services Agreement on an annual basis will exceed the 2.5% threshold under Rule 14A.34 of the Listing Rules, the transactions contemplated under the Xenium Licence Agreement and the Comprehensive Services Agreements and the related proposed annual caps as well as the revision of the annual caps for the various continuing connected transactions under the Business Services Agreement are subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders.

An Independent Board Committee has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Xenium Licence Agreement, the Comprehensive Services Agreements and the revision of the annual caps of the various continuing connected transactions contemplated under the Business Services Agreement. In this respect, Altus has been appointed as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with further information relating to the Xenium Licence Agreement, the Comprehensive Services Agreements and the various continuing connected transactions contemplated under the Business Services Agreement, the letter from Altus containing its advice to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders, the letter from the Independent Board Committee containing its recommendation to the Independent Shareholders and the notice of the SGM.

XENIUM LICENCE AGREEMENT

Date : 8 August 2007 Parties : Sang Da Electronics Sang Fei

Pursuant to the Xenium Licence Agreement, Sang Da Electronics agreed to procure the licensing of the “ Xenium ” mark to Sang Fei for the exclusive use by Sang Fei in its design, manufacture, promotion, sales and marketing of mobile handsets. In addition, Sang Da Electronics agreed to provide, and procure the provision of, sales channels services to Sang Fei. Subject to the approval by the Independent Shareholders at the SGM, the Xenium Licence Agreement shall be for a term of three years commencing from the date of the SGM. The SGM will be held on 14 September 2007.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The royalty for the licensing of the “ Xenium ” mark shall be calculated based on a fixed rate for every unit of mobile handset bearing the “ Xenium ” mark sold. The maximum royalty payable shall be RMB13.5 million for the period commencing from the effective date of the Xenium Licence Agreement until 31 December 2007, RMB16 million for 2008, RMB17.5 million for 2009 and RMB4.2 million for the period commencing from 1 January 2010 until the expiry of the Xenium Licence Agreement. Such amounts have been set as the proposed annual caps for the transactions contemplated under the Xenium Licence Agreement. As a complementary service to the licensing of the “ Xenium ” mark, the sales channels service will be provided by the Sang Da Group to Sang Fei free of charge.

The consideration was determined and agreed between the parties after arm’s length negotiations with reference to market rates. In determining the proposed annual caps for the Xenium Licence Agreement, the Company has taken in account the historical sales volume of “ Xenium ” mobile handsets, the anticipated sales volume of “ Xenium ” mobile handsets during the term of the Xenium Licence Agreement. As the global consumer communications products market is expected to maintain its growth momentum in the coming years, it is expected that the sales volume of “ Xenium ” mobile handsets will grow steadily during the term of the Xenium Licence Agreement.

COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES AGREEMENTS

On 8 August 2007, Sang Fei also entered into the Singapore Services Agreement with P-Marshall Singapore and the HK Services Agreement with P-Marshall HK, pursuant to which P-Marshall Singapore and P-Marshall HK agreed to provide various business support services to Sang Fei. Such business support services include information technology services, human resources services, office space leasing services and such other business support services as Sang Fei may from time to time require. The Comprehensive Services Agreements do not impose any obligations on the part of Sang Fei to use any business support services to be provided by P-Marshall Singapore and P-Marshall HK.

Subject to the approval by the Independent Shareholders at the SGM, the Comprehensive Services Agreements shall be for a term of three years commencing from the date of the SGM.

The charges of the business support services to be provided by P-Marshall Singapore and P-Marshall HK under the Comprehensive Services Agreements shall be the actual costs incurred by P-Marshall Singapore and P-Marshall HK for the provision of such services.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

It is expected that total consideration payable by Sang Fei under the Comprehensive Services Agreements during the term of the Comprehensive Services Agreements will not exceed the respective amounts set out in the following table. Accordingly, those amounts have been set as the proposed annual caps for the total consideration payable by Sang Fei under the Comprehensive Services Agreements:

Period Amount
(RMB’000)
From the commencement date of the Comprehensive Services
Agreements to 31 December 2007 42,120
For the year ending 31 December 2008 56,160
For the year ending 31 December 2009 56,160
From 1 January 2010 to the expiry of the Comprehensive
Services Agreements 14,040

In arriving at the proposed annual caps for the Comprehensive Services Agreements, the Company has taken into account the anticipated scope of business support services that Sang Fei is going to obtain from P-Marshall Singapore and P-Marshall HK. Since P-Marshall Singapore and P-Marshall HK will charge Sang Fei the actual costs incurred by them in providing the services, the Company has also taken in account the historical and anticipated costs of such services.

REASONS FOR ENTERING INTO THE XENIUM LICENCE AGREEMENT AND THE COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES AGREEMENTS

Sang Fei is the principal operating subsidiary of the Company which is primarily engaged in the manufacturing and sales of mobile handsets and other portable electronic products for the Philips Group. On 12 February 2007, CEC, the ultimate controlling shareholder of the Company, announced that it had entered into an acquisition agreement with Royal Philips Electronics, pursuant to which CEC agreed to acquire the mobile handsets business of the Philips Group. As part of the acquisition, Sang Da Group acquired ownership of the “ Xenium ” mark. With the licence to use the “ Xenium ” mark, Sang Fei will be able to manufacture and sell mobile handsets bearing the “ Xenium ” mark after CEC’s acquisition of the mobile handsets business of the Philips Group. In addition, as Sang Da Group has extensive sales channels within and outside the PRC for the distribution of communications and electronic products and has substantial experience in promoting and marketing communications and electronic products globally, the provision of sales channels services by the Sang Da Group can facilitate Sang Fei in establishing its global business network effectively and efficiently.

Exploring business opportunities in and expanding into overseas markets have always been Sang Fei’s business objectives and development strategies. Whilst the provision of sales channels services by the Sang Da Group can facilitate Sang Fei in establishing its global business network effectively and efficiently, the provision of business support services by P-Marshall HK and P-Marshall Singapore under the Comprehensive Services Agreements will

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

enable Sang Fei to build up its international presence and global business network in a more effective and efficient manner. By engaging the business support services to be provided by P-Marshall HK and P-Marshall Singapore, Sang Fei is able to leverage on the market experience and the economies of scale of P-Marshall HK and P-Marshall Singapore so that it can obtain the business supporting services at competitive rates.

The Directors considered that the Xenium Licence Agreement and the Comprehensive Services Agreements were entered into on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group. The Directors also considered that their terms are fair and reasonable and that the entering into of the Xenium Licence Agreement and the Comprehensive Services Agreements is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

REVISION OF ANNUAL CAPS FOR CERTAIN CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS UNDER THE BUSINESS SERVICES AGREEMENT

Background

On 17 June 2004, Sang Fei entered into the Business Services Agreement with CEC to set out the framework for the ongoing business relationship between the CEC Group on the one hand and Sang Fei on the other.

Reference is made to the circular of the Company dated 8 January 2007, which set out details of the Business Services Agreement.

Pursuant to the Business Services Agreement, Sang Fei supplies products (including mobile handsets), raw materials and samples to the CEC Group and the CEC Group supplies raw materials and provides various support services, including after sales and maintenance services and renovation services, to Sang Fei.

The Business Services Agreement was approved by the independent shareholders of the Company at the special general meeting of the Company held on 14 July 2004 and the renewal of the Business Services Agreement to extend until 31 December 2009, together with the applicable annual caps for the transactions contemplated thereunder, were approved by the independent shareholders of the Company at the special general meeting of the Company held on 26 January 2007.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Proposed Revised Annual Caps

Following CEC’s acquisition of the mobile handsets business of the Philips Group and with the licence to use the “ Xenium ” mark, the business model of Sang Fei and the cooperation model between Sang Fei and the CEC Group will be adjusted in order to better capitalise the new business opportunities. It is expected that as a result of such adjustments, the amount of consideration receivable by Sang Fei from the CEC Group for the sales of products, raw materials and samples, the amount of consideration payable by Sang Fei to the CEC Group for the purchase of raw materials and the amount of consideration payable by Sang Fei to the CEC Group for the after sales and maintenance services and the renovation services for the three financial years ending 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 will increase to amounts not exceeding those as set out in the following table. Accordingly, those amounts have been set as the proposed revised annual caps for the relevant continuing connected transactions.

Type of transaction 2007 2008 2009
(RMB’000) (RMB’000) (RMB’000)
Sales of products, raw materials

Reasons for the revision of annual caps

  • (i) Sale of products, raw materials and samples

In arriving at the above annual caps for the sales of products, raw materials and samples, the Company has made reference to the historical sales volume of products, raw materials and samples to the CEC Group, the historical sales volume of mobile handsets, raw materials and samples to the Philips Group and the anticipated sales volume of products, raw materials and samples to the CEC Group after completion of CEC’s acquisition of the mobile handsets business of the Philips Group.

Before CEC’s acquisition of the mobile handsets business of the Philips Group, Sang Fei would sell “ Philips ” mobile handsets to members of the Philips Group, which would then resell

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

such “ Philips ” mobile handsets to their distributors in all over the world. CEC Group was previously one of the major distributors of “ Philips ” mobile handsets. Following CEC’s acquisition of the mobile handsets business of the Philips Group, CEC Group will continue to be one of the major distributors of “ Philips ” mobile handsets. As such, a substantial portion of “ Philips ” mobile handsets which would, before the acquisition, be sold to the Philips Group for resale, will now be sold to the CEC Group directly. As a result, it is expected that the sales volume of Sang Fei to the CEC Group will increase substantially in 2007. As the global consumer communications products markets is expected to maintain its growth momentum in the coming years, it is expected that the sales volume to the CEC Group will continue to show an upward trend.

In determining the expected increase in sales of products, raw materials and samples to the CEC Group, the Company has taken into account the expected sales volume of mobile handsets (including Sang Fei’s own brand and “ Philips ” mobile handsets) and the estimated proportion of products to be distributed by the CEC Group. The Company has also taken into account the historical sales volume of “ Philips ” mobile handsets to the Philips Group in 2006. For the year ended 31 December 2006, the total consideration received by Sang Fei from the Philips Group for the sales of mobile handsets, raw materials and samples was RMB2,981 million. Following CEC’s acquisition of the mobile handsets business of the Philips Group, CEC Group will take up a substantial portion of the sales which, if the acquisition did not take place, would be made to the Philips Group.

(ii) After sales and maintenance services

Before the disposal of its mobile handsets business, the Philips Group engaged the CEC Group to provide after sales and maintenance services to its customers.

Following the disposal by the Philips Group of its mobile handsets business, Sang Fei, as the manufacturer of “ Philips ” mobile handsets, will provide warranty services to its customers directly. In order to discharge its product warranty obligations, Sang Fei will engage the CEC Group to provide after sales and maintenance services which CEC Group had previously provided to the Philips Group. As a result, it is expected that the total consideration payable by Sang Fei to the CEC Group for the provision of after sales and maintenance services will increase accordingly.

The demand for after sales and maintenance services depends on the sales of Sang Fei manufactured mobile handsets. As the global communications products market is expected to maintain its growth momentum in the coming years, it is expected that the volume of mobile handsets to be supplied by Sang Fei will grow steadily. Therefore, the demand for after sales and maintenance services by the Group is also expected to grow.

In determining the proposed annual caps for the three years ending 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009, the Company has taken into account the expected sales volume of “ Philips ” mobile handsets over the period and the historical repair rate of “ Philips ” mobile handsets.

– 12 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(iii) Purchase of raw materials

Before CEC’s acquisition of the mobile handsets business of the Philips Group, the CEC Group was one of the raw material suppliers of the Philips Group, and the Philips Group was one of the raw materials suppliers of Sang Fei. Sang Fei purchased from the Philips Group and its approved suppliers the raw materials used for the manufacture and the maintenance of mobile handsets. For the years ended 31 December 2006, the total consideration paid by Sang Fei to the Philips Group for the purchase of raw materials were RMB226 million.

Following CEC’s acquisition of the mobile handsets business of the Philips Group, instead of sourcing its required raw materials from the Philips Group and its approved suppliers, Sang Fei will source the required raw materials directly from the CEC Group. This new business arrangement will increase Sang Fei’s total purchase volume from the CEC Group.

CEC is a nationwide electronics and information technology conglomerate focusing on communications/consumer electronics, semiconductor and software sectors in the PRC. In order to leverage on the advantage of economies of scale enjoyed by the CEC Group to the fullest extent, Sang Fei intends to further increase its purchase volume of raw materials from the CEC Group. For the year ended 31 December 2006, the Group’s total expenses on raw materials and consumables used was approximately RMB3,158 million and the Group’s total purchase volume of raw materials from the CEC Group was approximately RMB4.63 million. It is expected that the proportion of raw materials to be sourced from the CEC Group will increase over the term of the Business Services Agreement as a result of the reasons set out above.

In arriving at the above revised annual caps for the three years ending 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 in respect of the total consideration payable by the Group to the CEC Group for the purchase of raw materials, the Company has taken into account the historical transaction volume, the additional raw materials that Sang Fei would source from the CEC Group as a result of the new business arrangement, the growth in the sales volume of Sang Fei’s products and the expected increase in the costs of raw materials.

(iv) Renovation services

In view of the expected growth in Sang Fei’s business, Sang Fei plans to further expand and improve its production facilities during 2007 in order to provide an efficient production environment which meets the substantial production needs. It is expected that the amount payable by the Group to the CEC Group for the renovation services provided by members of the CEC Group will not exceed RMB15 million for the financial year ending 31 December 2007. Accordingly, this amount has been set as the proposed revised annual cap for this continuing connected transaction for 2007. The existing annual caps for this continuing connected transaction for each of the two financial years ending 31 December 2008 and 2009 of RMB10 million will remain unchanged.

In determining the proposed revised annual cap for 2007 for this continuing connected transaction, the Company has taken into account the historical costs of renovation services, the planned expansion of production and office premises and the planned renovation of the existing production premises.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED UNDER THE BUSINESS SERVICES AGREEMENT

Sang Fei is primarily engaged in the manufacturing and sales of mobile handsets and other portable electronics products in the PRC. The CEC Group is one of the distributors of Sang Fei manufactured mobile handsets. Besides, the CEC Group has been supplying raw materials and providing other support services to Sang Fei under the Business Services Agreement. The transactions contemplated under the Business Services Agreement are therefore vital and integral to the business operations of Sang Fei.

The Board considers that the revision of the annual caps of the various continuing connected transactions contemplated under the Business Services Agreement is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Such transactions have been entered into, and will continue to be carried out, on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Sang Da Electronics is a subsidiary of CEC and a substantial shareholder of Sang Fei holding 25% of its equity interest. Each of P-Marshall HK and P-Marshall Singapore is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sang Da Electronics. CEC is the Company’s ultimate controlling Shareholder, holding 74.98% interest in the Company. Therefore, all of Sang Da Electronics, P-Marshall HK, P-Marshall Singapore and CEC are connected persons of the Company. Accordingly, the transactions contemplated under the Xenium Licence Agreement, the Comprehensive Services Agreements and the Business Services Agreement are continuing connected transactions of the Company.

As the expected aggregate consideration payable by the Group under the Xenium Licence Agreement and the Comprehensive Services Agreements on an annual basis and the proposed revised annual caps for the various continuing connected transactions under the Business Services Agreement on an annual basis will exceed the 2.5% threshold under Rule 14A.34 of the Listing Rules, the transactions contemplated under the Xenium Licence Agreement and the Comprehensive Services Agreements and the related proposed annual caps as well as the revision of the annual caps for the various continuing connected transactions under the Business Services Agreement are subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders.

LETTER FROM ALTUS

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion and recommendation with regard to the Continuing Connected Transactions, we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Acquisition by CEC Group of Philips Group’s mobile handset business

CEC, the ultimate controlling Shareholder which holds 74.98% interest in the Company, entered into an acquisition agreement with Royal Philips Electronics, for the acquisition of the mobile handset business of the Philips Group. As part of the acquisition, Sang Da Group acquired the ownership of the “ Xenium ” mark. It is intended that Sang Fei will be granted the licence to manufacture and sell mobile handsets under the “ Xenium ” mark directly to distributors worldwide.

1. Xenium Licence Agreement

  • A. Background and reasons for the Xenium Licence Agreement

Sang Fei, the principal operating subsidiary of the Company, is primarily engaged in the manufacturing and sales of mobile handsets and other portable electronic products for the Philips Group.

On 8 August 2007, Sang Da Electronics, a subsidiary of CEC and a substantial shareholder of Sang Fei holding 25% of its equity interest, and Sang Fei entered into the Xenium Licence Agreement. Pursuant to the Xenium Licence Agreement, Sang Da Electronics agreed to procure the licensing of the “ Xenium ” mark to Sang Fei for the exclusive use by Sang Fei in its design, manufacture, promotion, sales and marketing of mobile handsets and to provide Sang Fei with sales channel services. As a complementary service to the licensing of the “ Xenium ” mark, the sales channel service will be provided by the Sang Da Group to Sang Fei for free.

We are of the view that the entering into of the Xenium Licence Agreement is incidental to the change in business and cooperation arrangements between Sang Fei and CEC Group following the acquisition of Philips Group’s mobile handset business by CEC. It is therefore reasonable and in line with the business objectives and strategies of Sang Fei.

  • B. Terms of the Xenium Licence Agreement and the relevant proposed caps

The Xenium Licence Agreement is for a term of three years commencing from the date of the SGM, which will be held on 14 September 2007.

Pursuant to the Xenium Licence Agreement, royalty is payable by Sang Fei to Sang Da Group for the licensing of the “ Xenium ” mark. The royalty was determined and agreed between the parties after arm’s length negotiations with reference to

– 21 –

LETTER FROM ALTUS

market rates and is calculated based on a fixed rate for every unit of mobile handset bearing the “ Xenium ” mark sold. Based on our discussions with the management of the Company, the royalty fee payable per unit amounts to around 1% of the average sale price of the mobile handsets. The proposed annual caps for royalty payable during the term of the Xenium Licence Agreement are as follow:

Period Amount % change
RMB
From the effective date of the Xenium
Licence Agreement until 31 December 2007 13.5 million
1 January 2008 to 31 December 2008 16.0 million 18.5%
1 January 2009 to 31 December 2009 17.5 million 9.4%
1 January 2010 to the expiry of the Xenium
Licence Agreement 4.2 million (76.0%)

When determining the proposed annual caps, the Company has taken into account: (i) the historical sales volume of “ Xenium ” mobile handsets; (ii) the anticipated sales volume of “ Xenium ” mobile handsets; and (iii) the expected future growth in the global consumer communications products market.

To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the terms and the proposed annual caps, we have taken into account the following:

  • a. According to ABI Research, a research company based in the United States of America with focus on, among others, mobile wireless, multimedia and emerging technologies, cumulative royalty rates for consumer devices is about 5%. It is forecasted that the total handset royalty revenues will reach US$10.0 billion in 2010, with average cumulative royalty rates of between 3.8% and 8.5%, depending on the technologies in question. On this basis, we are of the view that the royalty rates payable by Sang Fei to Sang Da Group are lower than the prevailing and the projected royalty rates in the market and hence are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

  • b. We noted that the annual cap for royalty for the period from the effective date of the Xenium Licence Agreement until 31 December 2007, which is approximately three months, is comparatively higher than the annual caps for 2008, 2009 and the remaining terms of the agreement in 2010. We also noted that the annual cap for royalty for the period from 1 January 2010 to the expiry of the Xenium Licence Agreement is comparatively lower than the annual caps of the previous years.

– 22 –

LETTER FROM ALTUS

Having discussed with the management of the Company, we understand that:

  • i. after the Philips Group released its intention to dispose of its mobile handsets business in late 2006, a number of distributors of “ Philips ” mobile handsets (including the “ Xenium ” mobile handsets) held up their orders due to uncertainties toward the business reorganization. It is anticipated that orders from distributors will be resumed and substantial backlog orders will be received in the fourth quarter of 2007. Correspondingly, the royalty fee payable for the three months ending 31 December 2007 is expected to be higher; and

  • ii. the sales volume of Sang Fei is subject to seasonal factors where sales are normally higher in the fourth quarter due to orders placed in conjunction with the Christmas and Chinese Lunar New Year seasons. Therefore, the royalty fee payable for the period ending 31 December 2007 is expected to be relatively higher while for the period from 1 January 2010 until the expiry of the Xenium Licence Agreement is expected to be lower.

To this end, we have reviewed: (i) the sales projection of “ Xenium ” mobile handsets; and (ii) records of historical sales volume of Sang Fei in the past two years. The findings are consistent with the above and on this basis, we are of the view that the annual caps under the Xenium Licence Agreement are reasonably arrived at.

  • c. According to Wireless Intelligence, an independent researcher and consulting company based in the United Kingdom, the number of mobile handset users globally has been growing at a rapid pace where it increased from about 1.38 billion in 2003 to about 1.71 billion in 2004, representing a growth of about 23.9%; then to about 2.18 billion in 2005, representing a growth of about 27.5%. The number of users further increased to about 2.5 billion in 2006, representing a growth of about 14.7%. The projected annual growth of the annual caps above is therefore in line with market trends.

  • d. As a complementary service to the licensing of the “ Xenium ” mark, the sales channel service will be provided by the Sang Da Group to Sang Fei for free. In view of Sang Da Group’s extensive sales channels within and outside of the PRC for the distribution of communications and electronic products and its substantial experience in promoting and marketing communications and electronic products globally, we are of the view that the sales channels service to be provided by Sang Da Group to Sang Fei will facilitate Sang Fei’s establishment of its global presence and network, which is beneficial to the Shareholders and the Company as a whole.

– 23 –

LETTER FROM ALTUS

Based on the above, we are of the view that the terms of the Xenium Licence Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group. We also consider that the terms and the proposed annual caps under the Xenium Licence Agreement are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

3. Comprehensive Services Agreements

  • A. Background and reasons for the Comprehensive Services Agreements

The Comprehensive Services Agreements, comprising the Singapore Services Agreement and the HK Services Agreement, were also entered into on 8 August 2007. Pursuant to the Comprehensive Services Agreements, P-Marshall Singapore and P-Marshall HK, both being wholly-owned subsidiaries of Sang Da Electronics, agreed to provide various business support services to Sang Fei. These include information technology services, human resources services, office space leasing services and such other business support services, as Sang Fei may require from time to time.

P-Marshall Singapore and P-Marhsall HK have extensive market experience, resources and global business network that can facilitate Sang Fei’s expansion into overseas markets and exploration of worldwide business opportunities. Given that Sang Fei does not have the relevant resources and networks in these areas, we believe it is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole that Sang Fei engages the services to be provided by P-Marshall Singapore and P-Marshall HK.

  • B. Terms of the Comprehensive Services Agreements and the relevant proposed caps

The Comprehensive Services Agreements are for a term of three-year commencing from the date of the SGM.

Pursuant to the Comprehensive Services Agreements, P-Marshall Singapore and P-Marshall HK will provide various business support services to Sang Fei as it may require from time to time. However, Sang Fei is not obliged to use any of such services. The charges of business support services payable by Sang Fei to P-Marshall Singapore and P-Marshall HK will be based on actual costs incurred.

– 24 –

LETTER FROM ALTUS

The proposed annual caps during the term of the Comprehensive Services Agreements are as follow:

Period Amount % change
RMB
From the effective date of the Comprehensive
Services Agreements until 31 December 2007 42.12 million
1 January 2008 to 31 December 2008 56.16 million 33.3%
1 January 2009 to 31 December 2009 56.16 million Nil
1 January 2010 to the expiry of the
Comprehensive Services Agreements 14.04 million (75.0%)

To determine the proposed annual caps, the Company has taken into account: (i) the anticipated business support services which Sang Fei will require; and (ii) the anticipated costs of such services provided by P-Marshall Singapore and P-Marshall HK.

To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the terms and the proposed annual caps, we have taken into account the following:

  • a. According to the management of the Company, for the year ending 31 December 2007, the Company will require P-Marshall Singapore and P-Marshall HK to provide substantial amount of services to set up its global business operation. Therefore, it is anticipated that the amount payable by Sang Fei for services during this period will be relatively higher.

  • b. As Sang Fei has not previously engaged business services from P-Marshall Singapore and P-Marshall HK, no historical costs are available for comparison. Nevertheless, prices offered by them are expected to be competitive given their market experience and economies of scale. In any event, Sang Fei will compare the costs of services from P-Marshall Singapore and P-Marshall HK with those from other service providers so as to ensure prices payable to P-Marshall Singapore and P-Marshall HK are no less favourable than those offered by third parties.

  • c. We noticed that the proposed cap for the period from 1 January 2010 to the expiry of the Comprehensive Services Agreements is significantly lower than the annual caps for the other periods. The reason for such assumption is that Sang Fei intends to leverage on its business dealings with P-Marshall Singapore and P-Marshall HK to build up its own international presence and global business networks. It is expected that during the third year of the Comprehensive Services Agreements, Sang Fei would have developed its own business support service teams and

– 25 –

LETTER FROM ALTUS

with all relevant support systems in place. Therefore, the proposed cap for the period from 1 January 2010 to the expiry of the Comprehensive Services Agreements is substantially lower than the previous years.

Based on the above, we are of the view that the terms of the Comprehensive Services Agreements are on normal commercial terms and are conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group. We also consider that the terms and the proposed annual caps under the Comprehensive Services Agreements are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

4. Revision of the annual caps for various continuing connected transactions under the Business Services Agreement

  • A. Background and reasons for the revision of the annual caps

CEC’s acquisition of the mobile handsets business of the Philips Group would result in a change in business relationship between CEC Group and Sang Fei. Prior to the acquisition, Sang Fei, having manufactured the “ Philips ” mobile handsets, would sell them to members of the Philips Group. Following the acquisition, Sang Fei would instead sell to CEC Group which will act as the major distributor of “ Philips ” mobile handsets.

There existed also other incidental services previously conducted with Philips Group which, upon the aforesaid acquisition, will be conducted with CEC Group. These include arrangements relating to provision of after sales and maintenance services and purchase of raw materials.

Due to the above, it is expected that the amount of consideration receivable and payable between Sang Fei and CEC Group for the ongoing connected transactions as contemplated under the Business Services Agreement will increase substantially for the three years ending 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 and will exceed their existing annual caps. The ongoing connected transactions under the Business Services Agreement that require adjustments in annual caps include: (i) sale of products, raw materials and samples; (ii) purchase of raw materials; (iii) after sales and maintenance services; and (iv) renovation services.

The table below sets out the existing annual caps for the transactions (only taken into account Sang Fei’s own branded mobile handsets) and the proposed new caps for the transactions (taken into account both Sang Fei’s own branded mobile handsets and “ Philips ” mobile handsets, including “ Xenium ” mark handsets) for the three years ending 31 December 2009:

Notes:

  • (2) The proposed new caps for the year ending 31 December 2007 in respect of “ Philips ” mobile handset business (including “ Xenium ” mobile handsets) cover approximately only 3 months commencing from the date of the SGM.

**Existing ** **approved annual ** **approved annual ** caps
**for ** the year ending **Proposed ** **new annual ** caps for

% change 20.0% 20.0% 38.9% 11.4%

To access the fairness and reasonableness of the proposed new caps, we have first considered the basis of determining the proposed annual cap for the year ending 31 December 2007, which set out as follow:

  • a. The existing approved cap of RMB9.6 million for the year ending 31 December 2007 in respect of the manufacture and supply of Sang Fei’s own branded mobile handsets and semi-finished products to CEC Group.

  • b. A number of distributors of “ Philips ” mobile handsets (including the “ Xenium ” mobile handsets) held up their orders due to uncertainties toward the business reorganization of the Philips Group. It is anticipated that orders from distributors will be resumed and substantial backlog orders will be received in the fourth quarter of 2007.

  • As a reference, for the year ended 31 December 2006, the total consideration received by Sang Fei from the Philips Group for the sale of mobile handsets, raw materials and samples was RMB2,981 million. To the best of knowledge and information of the Company, prior to the acquisition, CEC Group’s distribution of “ Philips ” mobile handsets accounted for a substantial portion of the total distribution. Following CEC’s acquisition of the mobile handsets business of the Philips Group, CEC Group will continue to take up a similar portion of the sales.

  • c. Prior to CEC’s acquisition of the mobile handsets business of the Philips Group, Sang Fei would sell “ Philips ” mobile handsets to members of the Philips Group for resale to distributors worldwide. Following the acquisition, Sang Fei would sell “ Philips ” mobile handsets directly to distributors worldwide, including CEC Group. Hence, Sang Fei would be able to enjoy the price mark-ups between Sang Fei’s sale price to Philips Group and Philips Group’s sale price to the distributors. Accordingly, under the new business arrangement, the revenue amount for “ Philips ” mobile handsets to be sold to CEC Group for the year ending 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 is expected to be higher.

LETTER FROM ALTUS

In relation to the above, we have reviewed the sales projection of Sang Fei for the sale of “ Philips ” mobile handsets for the year ending 31 December 2007 and compared to that of the actual sales of “ Philips ” mobile handsets to the Philips Group by Sang Fei in 2006. The substantial increase in the proposed new cap is partly attributable to such price mark-ups previously not available.

  • d. By leveraging on the business dealings with P-Marshall Singapore and P-Marshall HK to build up its own international presence and global business networks, Sang Fei intends to carry out a series of marketing activities to restart the “ Philips ” mobile handsets business under the term of the Comprehensive Services Agreements. According to the management, in the next few months, a number of new models will be launched, it is therefore anticipated that there will be an increase in sales during the fourth quarter of 2007.

  • e. Despite more competition and challenges, the global mobile communication market maintained a robust 14% growth in 2006 and is expected to continue to grow at a steady pace. When considering the proposed annual caps, due to the backlog orders mentioned above, the management estimated that sales volume of mobile handsets will have an estimated growth of around 15% from 2006 while the business growth of Sang Fei in 2008 and 2009 will maintain at around 10% per annum, which are in line with the expected market growth.

Based on the above, we are of the view that the proposed new cap for the sale of mobile handsets, raw materials and samples for the year ending 31 December 2007 is fair and reasonable.

In respect of the new cap for the year ending 31 December 2008, which represents about 38.9% growth from 2007, we would like to remind that the proposed new cap for 2007 in relation to the “ Philips ” handset business covers only about three months commencing from the date of the SGM. Having taken into account: (i) the historical sales volume of mobile handsets, raw materials and samples to the Philips Group of RMB2,981 million in 2006; (ii) the expected sales of mobile handsets, raw materials and samples to CEC Group; (iii) an expected annual business growth of around 10%; and (iv) the additional mark-ups as mentioned above that was not previously available to Sang Fei prior to the acquisition, we are of the view that the proposed cap for the year ending 31 December 2008 is fair and reasonable.

For the proposed cap of 2009, representing about 11.4% growth from 2008, we are of the view that such projected growth is in line with the market growth and the expected annual business growth of Sang Fei. On this basis, we are of the view that the proposed caps for the three years ending 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Before the disposal of its mobile handsets business, the Philips Group engaged CEC Group to provide after sales and maintenance services to its customers. Following the disposal, Sang Fei, as the manufacturer of “ Philips ” mobile handsets, will engage CEC Group to provide after sales and maintenance services. Therefore, it is expected that the total consideration payable by Sang Fei to CEC Group for the provision of after sales and maintenance services will increase accordingly.

To access the fairness and reasonableness of the proposed new caps, we have considered the following:

  • a. The projected sales volume of Sang Fei’s own branded and “ Philips ” mobile handsets for the year ending 31 July 2007 is expected to increase at around 15% from 2006 while in 2008 and 2009 will maintain at a steady growth of about 10%. We are of the view that the projected sales volume increase of Sang Fei’s own branded and “ Philips ” mobile handsets is fair and reasonable as it is in line with the overall market growth.

  • b. As discussed with the management, the estimation of the proposed new caps were based on the historical repairing rates of the “ Philips ” mobile handsets. We have reviewed the historical repairing records summary of Sang Fei’s mobile handsets for the year ended 31 December 2006 and the six months ended 30 June 2007 and found that the repairing rates were consistent with those adopted for the estimation. Therefore, we are of the view that the expected repairing rates adopted when calculating the proposed new caps are fair and reasonable.

  • c. We have also reviewed Sang Fei’s average costs of repairing in the past two years and are of the view that the expected average repairing costs per unit adopted by Sang Fei in calculating the proposed new caps are fair and reasonable.

Based on the above, we are of the view that the proposed new caps for the after sales and maintenance services for the year ending 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 are in ordinary course of business and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

% change 20.0% 20.0% 41.5% 12.1%

To access the fairness and reasonableness of the proposed new caps, we have considered the following:

  • a. Before CEC’s acquisition of the mobile handsets business of the Philips Group, the CEC Group was one of the raw material suppliers of the Philips Group, and the Philips Group was one of the raw materials suppliers of Sang Fei. Sang Fei purchased raw materials from the Philips Group and its approved suppliers for the manufacture and maintenance of mobile handsets. Following CEC’s acquisition of the Philips Group’s mobile handsets business, Sang Fei will source the required raw materials directly from CEC Group. This new business arrangement will therefore increase the purchase volume of Sang Fei from CEC Group substantially and is reasonable.

  • b. CEC is a nationwide electronics and information technology conglomerate focusing on communications/consumer electronics, semiconductor and software sectors in the PRC. For the year ended 31 December 2006, the Group’s total expenses on raw materials and consumables used was approximately RMB3,158 million and the Group’s total purchase volume of raw materials from CEC Group was approximately RMB4.63 million, representing merely approximately 0.15% of the total expenses on raw materials and consumables of the Group. Under the new business arrangement, Sang Fei intends to further increase its purchase volume of raw materials from CEC Group (on a non-committed basis) and leverage on the advantage of economies of scale enjoyed by CEC Group. We consider such intention is reasonable and is in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

  • c. To arrive at the proposed new cap for the year ending 31 December 2007, it is expected that the proportion of raw materials to be sourced from CEC Group for the year ending 31 December 2007 will account for about 30% of the total expenses on raw materials and consumables of the Group in 2006, having taken into account an expected annual business growth rate of about 10% and the historical purchases of raw materials from CEC Group and the Philips Group.

LETTER FROM ALTUS

For the reasons as detailed under the paragraph headed “ B. Proposed annual caps – Sale of products, raw materials and samples ” above, such as the backlog orders and new models of mobile handsets, it is estimated that of the above-mentioned 30% of the total expenses, of which about 75% will be recognized during the fourth quarter of 2007, which forms the proposed annual cap for the year ending 31 December 2007.

  • d. For the proposed new cap for the year ending 31 December 2008, which represents about 41.5% increase from 2007, it was principally due to the fact that the proposed cap for 2007 only covers about three months figures (see point c. above). Having taken into account the expected annual business growth of about 10%, we are of the view that the proposed new caps for the year ending 31 December 2008 and 2009 are fair and reasonable.

  • E. Proposed annual caps – Renovation services

In anticipation of further growth in business under the new business arrangement, Sang Fei intends to further expand its production facilities and office during the period from the expected date of the SGM to 31 December 2007 to ensure sufficient production capacity and to have an efficient production environment to cope with the substantial production needs. Having considered the quality of the CEC Group’s renovation work performed to its premises in the past, Sang Fei intends to retain members of the CEC Group to undertake its future renovation works.

The proposed new caps for the three years ending 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009 are RMB15 million, RMB10 million and RMB10 million respectively. The proposed new cap for the year ending 31 December 2007 has increased from the existing approved cap of RMB10 million to RMB15 million while the annual caps for the two years ending 31 December 2008 and 2009 will remain unchanged.

The revision of the annual cap in 2007 is based on the estimation of fitment costs on the new office premises to be leased from CEC Group. As the upcoming new office premises renovation will be a major expansion project as compared to those routine renovation works performed in the past, it is reasonable for Sang Fei to expect higher renovation expenditure for the project.

– 32 –

LETTER FROM ALTUS

Having considered the (i) production capacity and environment required to cope with the growth in business under the new business arrangement between Sang Fei and CEC Group; (ii) the engagement of members of the CEC Group for major renovation services will be on a tender basis and the terms will be comparable, if not lower than, those of the other tenders and on normal commercial terms; (iii) the quality of the CEC Group’s renovation work has been consistent and of high quality; and (iv) any major renovation work by CEC Group will be monitored by independent third party surveyors, we are of the view that the terms of the engagement of the CEC Group for renovation services for Sang Fei’s factory premises and office are fair and reasonable and such arrangement is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the above principal factors, we are of the view that the terms of the Xenium Licence Agreement and the Comprehensive Services Agreements as well as the revision of the annual caps for the various continuing connected transactions under the Business Services Agreement are fair and reasonable, and that the entering into of the Xenium Licence Agreement and the Comprehensive Services Agreements as well as the revision of the annual caps for the various continuing connected transactions under the Business Services Agreement are in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole. We would therefore advise the Independent Shareholders and the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Xenium Licence Agreement, the Comprehensive Services Agreements and the revision of the annual caps for the various continuing connected transactions contemplated under the Business Services Agreement.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Altus Capital Limited Arnold Ip Sean Pey, Chang Executive Director Executive Director
