On 20 June 2008, Huada Electronics entered into the Hua Da Business Services Agreement with CEC to set out the framework for the ongoing business relationship between the CEC Group on the one hand and Huada Electronics on the other after completion of the Huada Acquisition. Pursuant to the Hua Da Business Services Agreement, (i) CEC Group provides products processing, testing and assembling services to Huada Electronics and purchases integrated circuit cards and smart cards modules and chips from Huada Electronics; (ii) Huada Electronics purchases raw materials and modules from the CEC Group; and (iii) CEC Group provides canteen services to Huada Electronics.

On the same date, Huada Electronics entered into the Hua Da Deposit Services Agreement with CEC Finance pursuant to which CEC Finance provides deposit services to Huada Electronics.

The transactions contemplated under the Hua Da Business Services Agreement and the Hua Da Deposit Services Agreement and the relevant caps for the period commencing from the completion date of the Huada Acquisition until 31 December 2010 were approved by the then independent shareholders of the Company at a special general meeting held on 21 July 2008. The Huada Acquisition was completed on 9 September 2009. The Hua Da Business Services Agreement and the Hua Da Deposit Services Agreement took effect from the completion date of the Huada Acquisition and is effective until 31 December 2010.

In December 2009, the Company disposed of its entire interest in Sang Fei, its then principal operating subsidiary. Following completion of the Company’s disposal of its entire interest in Sang Fei, the principal activities of the Group has changed to the design, research and development and sale of integrated circuits. In order to streamline the continuing connected transactions between members of the Group (including Huada Electronics) and members of the CEC Group and to extend the scope of financial services to be provided by CEC Finance to the Group, the Company entered into the 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement with CEC and the Financial Services Agreement with CEC Finance which will, upon taking effect, supersede the Hua Da Business Services Agreement and the Hua Da Deposit Services Agreement.

The transactions contemplated under the 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement are, therefore, vital and integral to the business operations of the Group.

CEC Finance is a non-bank financial institution approved and regulated by the PBOC and CBRC. CEC Finance was established for the purpose of enhancing the centralised management of funds among members of the CEC Group and for improving the fund utilisation efficiency of the CEC Group as a whole. CEC Finance is permitted to provide various financial services such as deposit services, loan services, finance leasing and investment services to members of the CEC Group.

The main reasons and advantages for utilising the financial services provided by CEC Finance are as follows:

  • (i) The interest rates on deposits and financial assistance offered by CEC Finance to the Group will be no less favourable than those offered by other domestic commercial banks. The fees and commissions for the fee- and commission-based financial services provided by CEC Finance will not be higher than those charged by other domestic commercial banks or financial institutions.

  • (ii) CEC Finance is regulated by PBOC and CBRC and provides its services in accordance and in compliance with the rules and operational requirements of these regulatory authorities.

  • (iii) The Group is expected to benefit from CEC Finance’s better understanding of the operations of the Group which will allow expedient and efficient service provision. The Group also expects that as an intra-group service provider, CEC Finance will generally have a better and more efficient communication with the Group compared with other domestic commercial banks or financial institutions.

  • (iv) The Financial Services Agreement will provide the Group with the right and flexibility, which it may choose to utilise the different kinds of financial assistance provided by CEC Finance and secure an additional and stable financing for its operations.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors are of the view that the transactions contemplated under the 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement and the Financial Services Agreement will be conducted on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and that the terms of the 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement and the Financial Services Agreement and the proposed caps are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. None of the Directors have a material interest in the 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement and the Financial Services Agreement and therefore no Director is required to abstain from voting on the board resolutions approving the 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement and the Financial Services Agreement.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

CEC, which was interested in approximately 71.30% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, is the ultimate controlling Shareholder and hence a connected person of the Company. CEC Finance, being a subsidiary of CEC, is also a connected person of the Company.

The 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement and the Financial Services Agreement will, upon taking effect, supersede the Hua Da Business Services Agreement and the Hua Da Deposit Services Agreement.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios set out in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement are more than 5%, the 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement is subject to the reporting, annual review, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios set out in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Financial Services Agreement are more than 5% and that the Group may be required to provide security for certain types of financial assistance to be provided by CEC Finance, the Financial Services Agreement is subject to the reporting, annual review, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The Independent Board Committee comprises Mr. Chan Kay Cheung, Mr. Wong Po Yan and Mr. Yin Yongli, being all independent non-executive Directors. We have been appointed as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders as to whether the terms of the 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement and the Financial Services Agreement are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned, and are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

BASIS OF OUR OPINION

In formulating our opinion and recommendation with regard to the 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement and the Financial Services Agreement, we have relied to a considerable extent on the information, statements, opinions and representations supplied to us by the Company and the Directors and we have assumed that all such information, statements, opinions and representations contained or referred to in the Circular were true, accurate and complete at the time they were made and continue to be true, accurate and complete at the date of the Circular. We have assumed that all statements of belief, opinion and intention of the Directors as set out in the Letter were reasonably made after due and careful inquiry. We have also sought and obtained confirmation from the Company that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided and referred to in the Circular.

LETTER FROM ALTUS

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion and recommendation with regard to these continuing connected transactions, we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Background

On 19 July 2010, the Company has entered into the 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement pursuant to which CEC Group will provide products processing, testing and assembling services to the Group and purchase integrated circuit cards and smart cards modules and chips from the Group and the Group will purchase raw materials and modules from the CEC Group.

On the same day, the Company has entered into the Financial Services Agreement with CEC Finance pursuant to which CEC Finance will provide a range of financial services to the Group and the Group will utilise such financial services on a non-exclusive basis. The financial services to be provided by CEC Finance to the Group under the Financial Services Agreement include deposit services, financial assistance and fee- and commission-based financial services.

The 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement will, upon taking effect, supersede the Hua Da Business Services Agreement. The Financial Services Agreement will, upon taking effect, supersede the Hua Da Deposit Services Agreement. The Company entered into the 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement and the Financial Services Agreement with CEC and CEC Finance respectively to replace the aforesaid existing agreements in order to streamline the continuing connected transactions between members of the Group (including Huada Electronics) and members of the CEC Group and to extend the scope of financial services to be provided by CEC Finance to the Group.

Listing Rules implications

CEC, which was interested in approximately 71.30% of the issued share capital of the Company at the Latest Practicable Date, is the ultimate controlling Shareholder and hence a connected person of the Company. CEC Finance, being a subsidiary of CEC, is also a connected person of the Company.

The Group has no prior transactions with CEC, CEC Finance and their respective associates which required aggregation with the transactions contemplated under the 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement and the Financial Services Agreement under Rule 14A.25 of the Listing Rules.

– 23 –

LETTER FROM ALTUS

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios set out in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement are more than 5%, the 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement is subject to the reporting, annual review, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios set out in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Financial Services Agreement are more than 5% and that the Group may be required to provide security for certain types of financial assistance to be provided by CEC Finance, the Financial Services Agreement is subject to the reporting, annual review, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

2. Reasons for the non-exempt continuing connected transactions

A. 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement

Following completion of the Company’s disposal of its entire interest in Sang Fei in December 2009, the principal activities of the Group has been changed to the design, research and development and sale of integrated circuits, which is primarily carried out by Huada Electronics. Huada Electronics does not own facilities to perform the processing, testing and assembling procedures on integrated circuits products and these procedures are outsourced to specialised service providers which include members of the CEC Group. The Group will also purchase from members of the CEC Group raw materials and modules for the research and development of integrated circuit cards, smart cards and chips on a non-committed basis.

CEC is a nationwide electronics and information technology conglomerate established in 1989 and has been focusing on communications, consumer electronics, semi-conductor and software sector in the PRC. Over the years, the CEC Group has developed the technical expertise and has established itself as one of the major suppliers of various raw material and modules and one of the major providers of processing, testing and assembling services for other companies in the PRC, which includes Huada Electronics.

Huada Electronics has established a long term business relationship with the CEC Group and has been conducting on-going transactions with members of the CEC Group in its ordinary and usual course of business. The management advised that members of the CEC Group have been efficient in fulfilling majority of the outsourcing and purchase requirements of the Group, and the CEC Group has been providing the Group with high quality services and reliable supply of raw materials and modules at competitive prices throughout the years. The management therefore considers the CEC Group as an important supplier of the Group and it is commercially sensible to continue with such business relationship.

– 24 –

LETTER FROM ALTUS

In respect of the sale transactions, members of the CEC Group have been long term customers of the Group’s products, which include integrated circuit cards and smart card modules and chips. While the Group will continue to diversify its customer base, the CEC Group is one of the important customers. The sale prices will be determined based on arm’s length negotiations with reference to market rates and the prices to CEC Group shall be no less favourable than the prices of similar products offered to other third party customers. In any event, pursuant to the 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement, the Group is not obliged to sell its products to the CEC Group. The Group may sell its products to any third party customers if there is demand, at comparable or higher prices.

Based on the above, we are of the view that the transactions contemplated under the 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement are vital and integral to the Group’s business operations. It is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group and its Shareholders as a whole to enter into the 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement such that the Company has the option to continue to fulfill its outsourcing and purchase requirements from the CEC Group when its prices are competitive. This may ensure reliable supply in the event that the Group is not able to purchase the raw materials and modules from independent third party suppliers during time of supply shortage or when prices of independent third party suppliers are not competitive. It also provides the Group flexibility to sell its products to the CEC Group.

B. Financial Services Agreement

Pursuant to the Financial Services Agreement, CEC Finance will provide a range of financial services to the Group and the Group will utilise such financial services on a non-exclusive basis. CEC Finance is a non-bank financial institution approved and regulated by the PBOC and CBRC and is permitted to provide various financial services such as deposit services, loan services, finance leasing and investment services to members of the CEC Group. CEC Finance, as a regulated financial institution, is required to comply with all rules and operational requirements of the regulatory authorities. Therefore, the utilisation of the financial services provided by CEC Finance would not expose the Group to additional financial risk as compared to utilising financial services provided by other similar regulated financial institutions.

Huada Electronics has established business relationship with CEC Finance through utilising the deposit services offered by CEC Finance pursuant to the Hua Da Deposit Services Agreement. As an intra-group service provider, CEC Finance has also been providing various financial services to other members of the CEC Group for years. The management believes that CEC Finance has good understanding of the Group’s operations and this has enabled effective communication as compared to other domestic commercial banks and financial institutions which may be less familiar with the electronics industry.

– 25 –

LETTER FROM ALTUS

Under the Financial Services Agreement, the Group is neither obliged nor committed to carry out any transactions if the terms, interest rates on deposits and financial assistance, the fees and commissions for the fee- and commission-based financial services provided are less favourable in comparison to those offered by other domestic commercial banks or financial institutions. Hence, the Financial Services Agreement serves to provide the Group an additional and alternative source of financial services, while maintaining its flexibility to utilise them as and when necessary.

Based on the above, we are of the view that it is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group and its Shareholders as a whole to enter into the Financial Services Agreement such that the Group can have the flexibility to utilise the services provided by CEC Finance so long as the interest rates on deposits and financial assistance and the fees and commissions for the fee- and commissionbased financial services offered by CEC Finance are no less favourable than those offered by other domestic commercial banks or financial institutions.

3. Terms and proposed caps

A. 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement

(i) Terms of transactions

Products processing, testing and assembling services and purchase of raw materials and modules

We understand from the management that a majority of the products of the Group are proprietarily designed for specific applications and as a result, the raw material and modules used by the Group in its research and development and production processes (such as products processing, testing and assembling) are usually product-specific and heterogeneous with different specifications. The service charges and purchase prices are determined on arm’s length negotiation with reference to the prevailing market price for similar services and raw materials. We have compared samples of past purchase prices and relevant service charges for modules obtained from members of the CEC Group with those of similar products provided by independent third party service providers and found that the prices and service charges are comparable. We have also compared the purchase prices of raw material purchased from the CEC Group with those of similar products purchased from independent third party suppliers and found that the prices are comparable.

– 26 –

LETTER FROM ALTUS

Importantly, pursuant to the 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement, the Group is neither obliged nor committed to outsource or purchase only from members of the CEC Group if their prices are not competitive or their services are unsatisfactory. The Group is free to engage other third party service providers or suppliers to supply the Group with comparable services and products. All outsourcing and/or purchase transactions will be conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and on normal commercial terms.

Sale of products

The sale of products mainly refers to those sold by Huada Electronics to the CEC Group. The sale transactions under the 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement are entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and are on normal commercial terms. The sale prices will be determined based on arm’s length negotiation with reference to the prevailing market price of similar products.

We have reviewed samples of historical terms and sale price of products sold by Huada Electronics to the CEC Group and they are consistent with the price determination basis as mentioned above. We have also compared the sale prices of products sold by the Group to the CEC Group and the sale prices of similar products sold by the Group to independent third party customers and found that they are comparable.

Pursuant to the 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement, the Group is neither obliged nor committed to sell only to members of the CEC Group if prices are not comparable to prevailing market prices. The Group is free to sell its products to other third party customers at comparable or higher selling prices.

Based on the above, we are of the view that the terms of the transactions contemplated under the 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement are fair and reasonable.

  1. The historical amounts for the year ended 31 December 2008 is shown for reference only. The transactions between Huada Electronics and the CEC Group in 2008 did not constitute connected transactions of the Group as the Huada Acquisition was completed in September 2009.

The Group has utilised 70.1% of the approved annual cap of consideration payable to the CEC Group for the year ended 31 December 2009. For the five months up to 31 May 2010, the Group has utilised about 31.3% of the approved annual cap for the year ending 31 December 2010. If annualised for illustration purposes only, the utilisation rate will be 75.1%. In respect of consideration receivable from the CEC Group, the Group has utilised 96.0% of the approved annual cap for the year ended 31 December 2009. For the five months up to 31 May 2010, the Group has utilised about 53.4% of the approved annual cap for the year ending 31 December 2010. If annualised for illustration purposes only, the utilisation rate will be 128.2%. In view of this, the management has proposed an increase in such cap for the year ending 31 December 2010.

– 28 –

LETTER FROM ALTUS

We also noted that the historical amounts paid by the Group for the products processing, testing and assembling services and purchases of raw materials and modules were lower than the proposed caps for the years ending 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and for the six months ending 30 June 2013. According to the management, the increase in proposed caps as compared to historical amounts is mainly attributable to the expected increase in the Group’s production scale and new projects expected in the next few years.

In respect of consideration payable for products processing, testing and assembling services and purchase of raw materials and modules, the management has proposed a cap of RMB422.0 million for the year ending 31 December 2010 and thereafter a lower cap of RMB366.0 million for the year ending 31 December 2011. This lower cap is mainly due to forecasted decrease in processing and purchases for certain existing integrated circuit cards and smart cards module products as the end-market which uses these products is estimated to be progressively saturated during the year ending 31 December 2011. The management however believes that the utilisation of products processing, testing and assembling services as well as the purchase of raw materials and modules from members of the CEC Group to increase in the year ending 31 December 2012 and the six months ending 30 June 2013 based on future production plans in relation to new product introductions. Consequently, increasing caps have been proposed during these periods.

In respect of sale of products, the caps are proposed by the management based on current sales trend and projects in negotiation. In particular, the management has proposed that the cap for the year ending 31 December 2010 be revised up to RMB68.0 million from the existing cap of RMB43.2 million as the management has observed significant growth in the sales volume of smart card modules specifically used in rechargeable fuel cards sold to a member of the CEC Group during the first five months of 2010. It is expected that the growth momentum of sales to the CEC Group will continue in the second half of 2010. In particular, for the years ending 31 December 2011 and 2012 and the six months ending 30 June 2013, it is expected that there will be year-on-year increases of 30% in sales volume for products which include primarily the aforesaid smart card modules sold to a member of the CEC Group. In addition, other members of the CEC Group are expected to launch several new products in the next few years. The management expects that members of the CEC Group will remain one of the important customers of the Group between 2010 and 2013.

Based on the above, we are of the view that the assumptions and the proposed caps under the 2010-2013 Business Services Agreement for the years ending 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 and the six months ending 30 June 2013 are fair and reasonable.

LETTER FROM ALTUS

When proposing the maximum daily balance of deposits maintained by the Group with CEC Finance, the management has considered the average cash balance of the Group and the deposit services required by the Group. As at 31 December 2009, the Group had a cash and cash equivalent balance of approximately HK$397.4 million (equivalent to approximately RMB344.3 million). The proposed maximum daily balance of deposits of RMB80.0 million is equivalent to 23.2% of the aforesaid cash and cash equivalent balance, which in our view is reasonable.

The financial assistance provided by CEC Finance to the Group includes unsecured RMB and foreign currencies loans, finance leases, discounting of bank acceptance bills and commercial acceptance bills and factoring of account receivables. The Group may be required to provide security for certain types of financial assistance to be provided by CEC Finance. When proposing the maximum amount of financial assistance provided by CEC Finance to the Group, the management has taken into account the financial needs of the Group for its operations and business development and the expected transaction volume of the Group’s operating activities.

Fees and commissions payable by the Group to CEC Finance refers to the charges in relation to guarantee services, entrustment loans and entrustment investment services, approved insurance brokerage services, fund management, agency services and financial consultancy services to be provided by CEC Finance. When proposing the caps for the fees and commissions payables, the management has considered the followings factors: (i) possible utilisation of financial guarantees provided by CEC Finance for up to RMB80.0 million at prevailing market guarantee fee rate of up to 3% of the principal amount; and (ii) financial service fees in relation to possible entrustment loans services, entrustment investments services and miscellaneous financial services to be obtained from CEC Finance with an aggregate estimated amount of RMB1.3 million per annum.

Based on the above, we are of the view that the assumptions and the proposed caps under the Financial Services Agreement for the period commencing from the effective date of the Financial Services Agreement to 31 December 2010, the years ending 31 December 2011 and 2012 and the six months ending 30 June 2013 are fair and reasonable.
