DISCLOSEABLE AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the Announcement.

On 15 August 2014, the Agreement was entered into between Sunny Nominees (as the vendors) and Sunny Optics (as the purchaser) pursuant to which Sunny Nominees, acting on behalf of Sunny Staff Shareholders, have agreed to sell the Equity Interests to Sunny Optics at a consideration of RMB351,372,444.7 in cash. The Equity Interests represent the entire registered and paid-up capital of Sunny Group which are wholly owned by Sunny Staff Shareholders beneficially as at the Latest Practicable Date.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Mr. Wang is a non-executive Director and is therefore a connected person of the Company. Given Mr. Wang is one of Sunny Staff Shareholders and one of the beneficiaries under the trust arrangement of the Equity Interests, Sunny Nominees, being the trustees thereof, are therefore the associates of Mr. Wang and connected persons of the Company. Since Mr. Wang is able to control more than 30% of the equity interests in Sunny Group, Sunny Group is hence the associate of Mr. Wang and a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the Acquisition constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules and is subject to reporting and announcement requirements and the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM by way of poll.

The Board is of the view that the terms of the Agreement are fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The EGM will be convened and held to approve the Acquisition.

The Independent Board Committee has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders on the terms of the Agreement and the Acquisition.

An independent financial adviser, Messis Capital, has been appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders as to whether or not the terms of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

The purpose of this circular is to:

  • (a) provide the Shareholders with further details of the Agreement and the Acquisition and the valuation report of the Properties;

  • (b) set out the opinion of Messis Capital to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the terms of the Agreement and the Acquisition;

  • (c) set out the recommendation of the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders in respect of the terms of the Agreement and the Acquisition; and

  • (d) give the Shareholders the Notice of the EGM for the Independent Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the Acquisition.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

THE AGREEMENT AND THE ACQUISITION

The Agreement

The Agreement dated 15 August 2014 was entered into between the following parties in relation to the sale and purchase of the Equity Interests:

Vendors: Sunny Nominees who hold the Equity Interests on trust for the Sunny Staff Shareholders Purchaser: Sunny Optics, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company Subject matter: Following the Completion, Sunny Group will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Sunny Group’s principal assets are the Properties and its 25.0% and 12.2% equity interests in Sunny Huitong and Zhenxing Yiqi, respectively

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Wang is a non-executive Director. Furthermore, Mr. Wang owns personally, indirectly through corporations and by being one of the trustees and one of the beneficiaries of the Sunny Group Employee Offshore Trust in respect of a total of 422,756,060 Shares, representing approximately 38.54% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Mr. Wang is therefore also a substantial shareholder of the Company. As such, Mr. Wang is a connected person of the Company. Given Mr. Wang is one of the Sunny Staff Shareholders and one of the beneficiaries under the trust arrangement of the Equity Interests, Sunny Nominees, being the trustees thereof, are therefore the associates of Mr. Wang and connected persons of the Company. Since Mr. Wang is able to control more than 30% of the equity interests in Sunny Group, Sunny Group is hence the associate of Mr. Wang and a connected person of the Company.

Consideration of the Acquisition

The consideration for the purchase of the Equity Interests is RMB351,372,444.7 which will be paid by Sunny Optics from its internal resources. The consideration will be satisfied in cash in the following manners:

  • (a) RMB10,000,000.0 shall be payable by Sunny Optics to Sunny Group as part payment of the consideration within three Business Days from the date of the EGM; and

  • (b) RMB341,372,444.7 shall be payable by Sunny Optics to Sunny Group upon Completion.

– 12 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Sunny Huitong has its own management team with extensive experience and expertise in financing services and its own customer base in Yuyao City, Zhejiang Province, the PRC as disclosed above. Since its establishment up to the financial year ended 31 December 2013, Sunny Huitong has recorded net profit, the Group is therefore not required and does not intend to inject any additional funding to support the business operation of Sunny Huitong. Upon Completion, the Company will not take any active role in the business and operations of Sunny Huitong and the Company has no present intention to nominate any director to Sunny Huitong. The Group will remain to be a passive investor of Sunny Huitong after the Acquisition. The Directors have no present plan to introduce any change to Sunny Huitong’s existing business and expect that its operation will continue to operate independently from the Group in terms of management, operation and finance.

The investment in Sunny Huitong enables the Group to facilitate the provision of financing services to the Group’s suppliers so as to allow these suppliers to improve their productivity and service and product quality. The Directors are of the view that the improvement of productivity and service and product quality of these suppliers would drive the stable supply of quality services and goods, thereby guaranteeing the quality and productivity of the Group’s own productions, bringing long term benefit to the Group and the Shareholders. The Directors believe that the Group’s exposure to credit risk and default risk inherent to Sunny Huitong’s business operation is minimal since Sunny Huitong has an independent and comprehensive internal control and risk management system and the credit performance of these suppliers are generally good since they are selected as the Group’s suppliers based on, among other things, their credit history, financial background, reputation and corporate background.

It commenced its business operation on 15 October 2003 and mainly provides strategic, planning, marketing and research and development advisory services to domestic high technology instrument companies.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Reasons for and benefits of the proposed Acquisition

Reference is made to the Prospectus and the announcements of the Company dated 22 November 2007, 9 October 2008, 4 January 2010 and 21 December 2012 regarding the continuing connected transactions entered into between the Group and Sunny Group. The Board considers that the Acquisition is beneficial to the Company for the following reasons:

  • (a) expand production facilities – in line with the Group’s business development strategies, the Properties will be used for the development of existing and future production lines for products which the Directors considered to be drivers of business growth, in particular, for the manufacture of vehicle lens sets, infra-red products and analytical instruments;

  • (b) eliminate continuing connected transactions – upon Completion, Sunny Group will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Compliance cost of the Group to be incurred in relation to the continuing connected transactions between the Group and Sunny Group will be eliminated, thus improving the overall competitiveness and management efficiency of the Group;

  • (c) reduce the potential risk of competition – the Acquisition allows the Group to retain experienced personnel. Sunny Staff Shareholders, the beneficial owners of Sunny Group, are employees or ex-employees of the Group, who possess the industry experience and technical knowledge to manufacture and produce competing products;

  • (d) strengthen future capability of supply chain management – the Group will utilize the microcredit license held by Sunny Huitong after the Acquisition, enabling the Group to provide financing services to the Group’s suppliers in Yuyao City, Zhejiang Province, the PRC, thereby improving the standard and capacity of the products and services provided by the suppliers; and

  • (e) enhance the overall management effectiveness of the Group’s operation – given that certain Properties are located adjacent to the existing major production facilities of the Group in Yuyao City, Zhejiang Province, the PRC, the Board could maximize the flexibility and practicability in its strategic planning and development for the Group by managing the land use right, such as sewage system, around the local area.

In light of the benefits above, the Board considers the acquisition of the entire Sunny Group, in addition to acquiring the Properties, would be more beneficial to the Group and the Shareholders as a whole. The Board believes that the terms of the Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable, and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Financial effects of the Acquisition

Upon Completion, Sunny Group will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the investments in Sunny Huitong and Zhenxing Yiqi will be recognized as available-for-sale investments in the Company’s consolidated financial statements under the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards.

Furthermore, Mr. Wang owns personally, indirectly through corporations and by being one of the trustees and one of the beneficiaries of the Sunny Group Employee Offshore Trust in respect of a total of 422,756,060 Shares, representing approximately 38.54% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Mr. Wang is therefore also a substantial shareholder of the Company. As such, Mr. Wang is therefore a connected person of the Company. Given Mr. Wang is one of the Sunny Staff Shareholders and one of the beneficiaries under the trust arrangement of the Equity Interests, Sunny Nominees, being the trustees thereof, are therefore the associates of Mr. Wang and connected persons of the Company, Since Mr. Wang is able to control more than 30% of the equity interests in Sunny Group, Sunny Group is hence the associate of Mr. Wang and a connected person of the Company.

Accordingly, the Acquisition constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules and is subject to reporting and announcement requirements and the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM by way of poll.

GENERAL

Each of Mr. Wang, Mr. Ye and Mr. W. Wang, being one of the Directors, one of the substantial shareholders of the Company and one of the Sunny Staff Shareholders, has an interest in the Agreement and the Acquisition. As such, Mr. Wang, Mr. Ye and Mr. W. Wang had abstained from voting on the resolution(s) of the Board approving the Agreement and the Acquisition. Save as aforesaid, none of the other Directors have any material interest in the Agreement and the Acquisition, and therefore none of them had abstained from voting on the resolution(s) of the Board approving the Agreement and the Acquisition.

An Independent Board Committee consisting all of the independent non-executive Directors, who have no interest in the Acquisition, has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether or not the terms of the Agreement and the Acquisition are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole. Messis Capital has been appointed as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this regard.

To: The Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders of Sunny Optical Technology (Group) Company Limited

Dear Sir or Madam,

CONNECTED TRANSACTION

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the “ Letter from the Board ”) contained in the circular (the “ Circular ”) of the Company to the Shareholders dated 31 August 2014, of which this letter forms part. Capitalized terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as defined in the Circular unless the context requires otherwise.

On 15 August 2014, Sunny Optics (as the purchaser) and Sunny Nominees (as the vendors) entered into the Agreement, pursuant to which Sunny Nominees, acting on behalf of Sunny Staff Shareholders, have agreed to dispose of and Sunny Optics agreed to purchase the Equity Interests at a consideration of RMB351,372,444.7 in cash. The Equity Interests represent the entire registered and paid up capital of Sunny Group which are beneficially wholly owned by Sunny Staff Shareholders as at the Latest Practicable Date.

As the relevant percentage ratios calculated pursuant to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Acquisition exceed 5% but are less than 25%, the Acquisition constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Mr. Wang, one of the Sunny Nominees, is a non-executive Director. Furthermore, Mr. Wang owns personally, indirectly through corporations and by being one of the trustees and one of the beneficiaries of the Sunny Group Employee Offshore Trust in respect of a total of 422,756,060 Shares, representing 38.54% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Mr. Wang is therefore also a substantial Shareholder. As such, Mr. Wang is a connected person of the Group. Given Mr. Wang is one of the Sunny Staff Shareholders and one of the beneficiaries under the trust arrangement of the Equity Interests, Sunny Nominees, being the trustees thereof, are therefore the associates of Mr. Wang and connected persons of the Company. Since Mr. Wang is able to control more than 30% of the Equity Interests in Sunny

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

Group, Sunny Group is hence a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The transactions contemplated under the Agreement also constitute connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and the Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements pursuant to the Listing Rules. Given each of Mr. Wang, Mr. Ye, and Mr. W. Wang has an interest in the Agreement and the Acquisition, Mr. Wang, Mr. Ye, and Mr. W. Wang and their respective associates (including Equity Trust (HK) Limited), who, so far as the Directors were aware and based on publicly available information, were together interested in 426,044,060 Shares (representing approximately 38.84% of the voting rights of the Company) as at the Latest Practicable Date, will abstain from voting on the relevant resolution(s) to be proposed at the EGM for approving, among other things, the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

The Independent Board Committee comprising Dr. Liu Xu, Mr. Zhang Yuqing and Mr. Chu Peng Fei Richard, being all the independent non-executive Directors, has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders on the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. We, Messis Capital Limited, have been appointed as the independent financial adviser to give advice and make recommendation to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders as to whether the terms of the Agreement are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms, in the ordinary and usual course of business and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and whether the Independent Shareholders should vote in favor of the resolution(s) to approve the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the EGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Messis Capital did not have any relationship with or interest in the Company that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to the independence of Messis Capital. In the last two years, there was no engagement between the Group and Messis Capital. Apart from normal professional fees paid or payable to us in connection with this appointment as the independent financial adviser, no arrangements exist whereby we had received any fees or benefits from the Company. Accordingly, we are qualified to give independent advice in respect of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

– 25 –

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

Province and the industry employed more than 3,718 workers as at 30 June 2014. In addition, the GDP of Ningbo increased by approximately 8.1% in 2013 as compared to that of the previous year. The nominal GDP per capita in Ningbo was RMB93,176 in 2013, which is significantly higher than RMB41,805 for the PRC and RMB68,462 for Zhejiang Province. The strong growth of local economy also contributes to the development of the microcredit market in such area.

The principal types of risks inherent to the business of Sunny Huitong included credit risk, market risk, operational risk and liquidity risk arising from its financing services. As advised by the management of the Group, Sunny Huitong has implemented a robust risk management system to control related risks, which generally include preliminary assessment, due diligence, physical inspection and ongoing monitoring. Most of the management of Sunny Huitong have extensive experiences in banking and financing sector and related risk control. According to the appraisal by the Financial Authority of Ningbo Government in 2012, Sunny Huitong was awarded outstanding among around 20 microcredit enterprises in Ningbo city due to its performance.

As advised by the management of the Company, Sunny Group is only a passive investor who is not involved in the management and business operation of Sunny Huitong. Upon Completion, the Company will not take any active role in the business operations of Sunny Huitong and the Company has no present intention to nominate any director to Sunny Huitong. Furthermore, the Directors have no present plan to introduce any change to Sunny Huitong’s existing business. Accordingly, the microcredit business of Sunny Huitong will not have any material impact on the Group’s working capital needs.

In light of (i) Sunny Huitong has been profitable since its establishment; (ii) the microcredit market in the PRC and economy of Ningbo has experience significant growth in recent years; (iii) Sunny Huitong has implemented a robust risk management system to control related risks; (iv) most of the management of Sunny Huitong have extensive experiences in banking and financing sector and related risk control; (v) Sunny Huitong was awarded outstanding according to the appraisal by the Financial Authority of Ningbo Government in 2012 due to its performance; and (vi) the Group will remain as a passive investor of Sunny Huitong and will not involve in the management and business operation of Sunny Huitong, we consider that the Group could benefit from the business development of Sunny Huitong after the Completion.

– 26 –

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

As advised by the management of the Company, Sunny Group is only a passive investor who is not involved in the management and business operation of Zhenxing Yiqi. Upon Completion, the Company will not take any active role in the business and operations of Zhenxing Yiqi and the Company has no present intention to nominate any director to Zhenxing Yiqi. Furthermore, the Directors have no present plan to introduce any change to Zhenxing Yiqi’s existing business. The Directors consider that Zhenxing Yiqi will provide consulting services to the Group’s instruments business after Completion which will improve the productivity and quality of relevant products.

Having considered that (i) Sunny Group only holds 12.2% equity interests in Zhenxing Yiqi; (ii) the business scale of Zhenxing Yiqi is relatively small; (iii) Zhenxing Yi recorded profits for the recent years; and (iv) Zhenxing Yiqi will provide consulting services to the Group’s instruments business after Completion which will improve the productivity and quality of relevant products after Completion, we consider that the Group’s business could benefit from its investment in Zhenxing Yiqi after Completion.

3. Reasons for and benefits of entering into of the Agreement

The Group currently leases the properties owned by Sunny Group for the use of dormitory, office, industrial facilities and car parking spaces. According to the announcement of the Company dated 21 December 2012, the Group had entered into tenancy renewal agreements with Sunny Group on the same day for the renewal of tenancy agreements for several properties owned by Sunny Group at that time for a term of three years ending 31 December 2015. Upon Completion, Sunny Group will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company so that the transactions contemplated under the aforesaid tenancy renewal agreements will cease to be continuing connected transactions for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As advised by the management of the Company, the Acquisition will eliminate the compliance cost in relation to the continuing connected transactions between the Group and Sunny Group and thus to improve the overall competitiveness and management efficiency of the Group.

Furthermore, certain Properties are located adjacent to the Group’s existing major production facilities and headquarter in Yuyao City, Zhejiang Province, the PRC. Therefore, the Acquisition will enable the Group to enhance the strategic planning and development of those properties around its headquarter by managing respective land use rights. For instance, the water sewage system of all production facilities in and around the Group’s headquarter could under the unify planning of the Group so as to improve the overall management effectiveness of the Group after completion of the Acquisition.

In addition, we understand from the management of the Company that certain Properties will be used for the expansion of the Group’s production facilities as well as facilitating the Group’s business development after completion of the Acquisition. Please refer to the paragraph headed “2. Background of Sunny Group” for the detailed usage of each Property. Based on our discussion with the management of the Company, we understand that it is the Group’s business strategies to continue the in-depth exploration of its existing businesses and increase its sales of relevant products through further expansion and optimization of its existing sales channels. As such, we are of the view that the Acquisition and aforesaid use of the Properties are in line with the Group’s development strategies.

– 27 –

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

After the Completion, Sunny Huitong, who possesses the microcredit license will serve as a platform to provide financing services to the Group’s suppliers in Yuyao City, Zhejiang Province, the PRC. The management of the Company considers that the financing platform provided by Sunny Huitong will strengthen the financial position of the Group’s suppliers, which will in turn improve the standard and capacity of the products and services provided by them. The Directors are of the view that the improvement of productivity and service and product quality of these suppliers would drive the stable supply of quality services and goods, thereby guaranteeing the quality and productivity of the Group’s own productions, bringing long term benefit to the Group and the Shareholders. The Directors believe that the Group’s exposure to credit risk and default risk inherent to Sunny Huitong’s business operation is minimal since Sunny Huitong has an independent and comprehensive internal control and risk management system and the credit performance of these suppliers are generally good since they are elected as the Group’s suppliers based on, among other things, their credit history, financial background, reputation and corporate background.

As advised by the management of the Company, the Acquisition will allow the Group to retain Sunny Staff Shareholders, who are experienced personnel with the industry experience and technical knowledge to manufacture and produce competing products.

Having considered that the Acquisition (i) will eliminate the continuing connected transactions between the Group and Sunny Group and thus to improve the overall competitiveness and management efficiency of the Group; (ii) enable the Group to enhance the strategic planning and development of those properties around its headquarter by managing respective land use rights; (iii) in line with the Group’s development strategies; (iv) strengthen the financial position of the Group’s suppliers by utilizing the financing platform provided by Sunny Huitong, which will in turn improve the standard and capacity of the products and services provided by them; (v) the Group could benefit from the business development of Sunny Huitong after Completion, details of which are set out in the paragraph headed “Information on Sunny Huitong”; and (vi) the Group’s business could benefit from its investment in Zhenxing Yiqi after Completion, details of which are as set out in the paragraph headed “Information on Zhenxing Yiqi” above, we are of the view that the entering into of the Agreement and the Acquisition are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Given that the Consideration was determined with reference to the unaudited net asset value of Sunny Group as at 25 July 2014 as referred to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, a principal component of which was the appraised value of the Properties, we have reviewed the valuation report (the “ Property Valuation Report ”) prepared by Jones Lang as set out in Appendix I to this circular and discuss with them regarding the methodology of and the principal bases and assumptions adopted for the valuation of the Properties.

The Property Valuation Report has been prepared by the Jones Lang in compliance with all requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Listing Rules, the RICS Valuation – Professional Standards published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, the HKIS Valuation Standards published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors, and the International Valuation Standards published by the International Valuation Standards Council.

We have enquired into the Jones Lang in depth regarding how the appraised value of the Properties was arrived at. We noted that the Jones Lang had considered various methodologies in preparing the Property Valuation Report, including the cost approach and direct comparison approach. Due to the nature of the buildings and structures of the property interests of the Properties A, B and C and the particular locations in which they are situated, there are unlikely to be relevant market comparable sales readily available, so that their respective property interests have been valued by the cost approach with reference to their depreciated replacement cost. Depreciated replacement cost is based on an estimate of the market value for the existing

use of the land, plus the current cost of the replacement (reproduction) of the improvements, less deductions for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimization. As advised by Jones Lang, they have made reference to the sales evidence as available in the locality in arriving at the value of the land portion. The appraised values of the Properties D, E and F were arrived at by using the direct comparison approach assuming sale of such property interests in their existing state with the benefit of immediate vacant possession and by making reference to comparable sales transactions as available in the relevant market. Appropriate adjustments and analysis are considered to the differences in location, size and other characters between the comparable properties and the subject property.

In general, we understand that the Jones Lang is satisfied with (i) the rationality of the bases and assumptions in arriving at the property valuation; and (ii) the appropriateness and accuracy of the estimates and calculations. During the course of our discussion with the Jones Lang, we did not identify any major factor which caused us to doubt the fairness and reasonableness of the principal bases and assumptions adopted in the Property Valuation Report.

For our due diligence purpose, we reviewed and enquired Jones Lang’s qualification and experience in relation to the performance of the valuation. We noted that Jones Lang has extensive experience in performing valuation for transactions of listed companies as well as the initial public offering cases in Hong Kong and the PRC. Jones Lang confirmed that it is independent from the Company. Jones Lang also confirmed that all relevant material information provided by the Company had been incorporated in the Property Valuation Report and there were no other material relevant information or representations relating to Properties provided or made by the Company to Jones Lang not having been included in the valuation. In addition, we also reviewed the terms of Jones Lang’s engagement and noted that the scope of work is appropriate to the opinion required to be given and we are not aware of any limitation on the scope of work which might have an adverse impact on the degree of assurance given by the Property Valuation Report.

In order to further assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration, we have also discussed with the management of the Company regarding the valuation of long-term equity investment of Sunny Group, which is also a major component of the unaudited net asset value of Sunny Group. The long-term equity investment of Sunny Group as at 25 July 2014 includes its 25% equity interests in Sunny Huitong and 12.2% equity interests in Zhenxing Yiqi. After our discussion with the management of the Company and reviewing the unaudited management accounts of Sunny Huitong and Zhenxing Yiqi, we understand that valuation of the equity investment of Sunny Group in Sunny Huitong and Zhenxing Yiqi was determined by reference to its proportionate equity interests in the unaudited net asset value of Sunny Huitong and Zhenxing Yiqi and therefore is considered by us to be fair and reasonable.

Net asset value, which reflects the equity value of an entity, is commonly used as a reference for the basis of the consideration for the acquisition of the equity interests in a company. The net asset value is also commonly adopted as a basis of the consideration for the acquisition of the equity interest in microcredit and financing companies. For instance, according to the announcement of Credit China Holdings Limited (Stock code: 8207) dated 11 August 2014, the consideration of its acquisition of 49% equity interest in a microfinance company in Hainan Province was also determined with reference to the net assets value of such target company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, other than the Properties of approximately RMB181.7 million, Sunny Group had (i) current assets of approximately RMB201.0 million mainly comprising cash in hand of approximately RMB15.1 million, short-term investment of approximately RMB156.5 million and account receivables of approximately RMB29.4 million; and (ii) non-current assets mainly comprising long-term equity investment of approximately RMB61.1 million, construction in progress of approximately RMB23.8 million and other fixed assets of approximately RMB50,000, which were partially offset by the current liabilities of approximately RMB114.4 million and non-current liabilities of approximately RMB1.9 million. The short-term investment comprised several contracts of structured deposits which Sunny Group entered with various banks. The entire combined contracts have been designated as financial assets as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the expected return rate of the investment ranged from 2.35% to 4.9% per annum. Having considered that (i) the components of the current assets of Sunny Group are cash, short-term investment and account receivables, among which the short-term investment was recognised by its market value; (ii) the unaudited net asset value of Sunny Group as at 25 July 2014 already been adjusted for the market value of the Properties; and (iii) the long-term equity investment of Sunny Group was recognised by reference to its proportionate equity interests in the unaudited net asset value of Sunny Huitong and Zhenxing Yiqi, we are of the view that it is appropriate to use the unaudited net asset value of Sunny Group as the basis of the Consideration.

Taking into account that (i) the Consideration was determined with reference to the unaudited net asset value of Sunny Group as at 25 July 2014 as referred to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements; (ii) principal bases and assumptions adopted by Jones Lang in appraising the Properties are fair and reasonable; (iii) the valuation of the equity investment of Sunny Group in Sunny Huitong and Zhenxing Yiqi was determined by reference to its proportionate equity interests in the unaudited net asset value of Sunny Huitong and Zhenxing Yiqi and therefore is considered by us to be fair and reasonable; and (iv) the reasons for and benefits of entering into of the Agreement as set out above, we are of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

Conditions precedent of the Agreement

  • (g) the passing of the necessary resolution(s) by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM to approve the Agreement and the transactions contemplated under the Agreement; and

In exercising the right of waiver, the Board will act in the interest of Sunny Optics, the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole and will only waive any conditions precedent on minor issues or on issues that will not affect the substance of the Acquisition.

In the event that any of the conditions shall not have been fulfilled or waived on or before the Long Stop Date or such later date as agreed by the parties to the Agreement in writing, the Agreement shall cease to be of any effect save in respect of claims arising out of any antecedent breach of the Agreement.

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

Upon Completion, the Sunny Group will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

5. Financial Effects of the Acquisition

Earnings

Upon Completion, Sunny Group will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and its result will be consolidated in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

In view of the track record of financial performance of Sunny Group and the synergies gained from the Acquisition, we consider that the Acquisition could enhance the financial results of the Group going forward.

Working capital

Since the Company will satisfy the Consideration in cash by the internal resources of the Group, the Group’s working capital would be reduced due to the Acquisition.

It should be noted that the aforementioned analysis are for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will be upon Completion.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the above mentioned principal factors and reasons, we consider that the terms of the Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned, and that the Acquisition is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Shareholders, as well as the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders, to approve the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

The following is the text of a letter, summary of values and valuation certificates, prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this document received from Jones Lang LaSalle Corporate Appraisal and Advisory Limited, an independent valuer, in connection with its valuation as at 31 May 2014 of the properties held by Sunny Group Co., Ltd.

31 August 2014

The Board of Directors

Sunny Optical Technology (Group) Company Limited (the “Company”)

Unit 603, 6th Floor Grand City Plaza 1-17 Sai Lau Kok Road Tsuen Wan New Territories Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

On 15 August 2014, the Agreement was entered into between Sunny Nominees (as the vendors) and Sunny Optics (as the purchaser) pursuant to which Sunny Nominees, acting on behalf of Sunny Staff Shareholders, have agreed to sell the Equity Interests to Sunny Optics at a consideration of RMB351,372,444.7 in cash.

In accordance with your instructions to value the properties held by Sunny Group Limited (舜宇集團有限公司, “Sunny Group”), we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the capital values of the property interests as at 31 May 2014 (the “valuation date”).

Our valuation is carried out on a market value basis. Market value is defined as “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

We have valued the property interests of property nos. 4 to 6 in Group I by direct comparison approach assuming sale of the property interests in their existing state by making reference to comparable sales transactions as available in the relevant market. Appropriate adjustments and analysis are considered to the differences in location, size and other characters between the comparable properties and the subject properties. The existing tenancies are also taken into account in arriving at the valuation.

– 34 –

APPENDIX I

VALUATION REPORT

Where, due to the nature of the buildings and structures of the property interests of property nos. 1 to 3 in Group I and the particular locations in which they are situated, there are unlikely to be relevant market comparable sales readily available, the property interests have been valued by the Cost Approach with reference to their depreciated replacement cost.

Depreciated replacement cost is defined as “the current cost of replacing an asset with its modern equivalent assent less deductions for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimization”. It is based on an estimate of the market value for the existing use of the land, plus the current cost of the replacement (reproduction) of the improvements, less deductions for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimization. In arriving at the value of the land portion, reference has been made to the sales evidence as available in the locality. The depreciated replacement cost of the property interest is subject to adequate potential profitability of the concerned business. In our valuation, it applies to the whole of the complex or development as a unique interest, and no piecemeal transaction of the complex or development is assumed.

We have attributed no commercial value to property no. 7 in Group II, which has not been assigned to Sunny Group as at the valuation date, thus the title of the property is not vested in Sunny Group.

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the seller sells the property interests in the market without the benefit of a deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement, which could serve to affect the values of the property interests.

No allowance has been made in our report for any charge, mortgage or amount owing on any of the property interests valued nor for any expense or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect their values.

In valuing the property interests, we have complied with all requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited; the RICS Valuation – Professional Standards published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors; the HKIS Valuation Standards published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors; and the International Valuation Standards published by the International Valuation Standards Council.

We have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the Company and Sunny Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as tenure, planning approvals, statutory notices, easement, particulars of occupancy, lettings, and other relevant matters.

We have been shown copies of various title documents including State-owned Land Use Rights Certificate, Building Ownership Certificate, Real Estate Title Certificate and official plans relating to the property interests and have made relevant enquiries. Where possible, we have examined the original documents to verify the existing title to the property interests in the

– 35 –

APPENDIX I

VALUATION REPORT

PRC and any material encumbrance that might be attached to the property interests or any tenancy amendment. We have relied considerably on the advice given by the Company’s PRC legal advisers – Guantao Law Firm, concerning the validity of the property interests in the PRC.

We have not carried out detailed measurements to verify the correctness of the areas in respect of the properties but have assumed that the areas shown on the title documents and official site plans handed to us are correct. All documents and contracts have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations. No on-site measurement has been taken.

We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of the properties. However, we have not carried out investigation to determine the suitability of the ground conditions and services for any development thereon. Our valuation has been prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no unexpected cost and delay will be incurred during construction. Moreover, no structural survey has been made, but, in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defect. We are not, however, able to report whether the properties are free of rot, infestation or any other structural defect. No tests were carried out on any of the services.

Inspection of the properties was carried out in May 2014 by Mr. Peter Cao and Ms. Winnie Xu. Mr. Peter Cao is a China Certified Real Estate Appraiser and has more than 13 years’ experience in the valuation of properties in the PRC. Ms. Winnie Xu is a China Certified Public Valuer and has 3 years’ experience in the valuation of properties in the PRC.

We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company and Sunny Group. We have also sought confirmation from Sunny Group that no material factors have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to arrive an informed view, and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.

Unless otherwise stated, all monetary figures stated in this report are in Renminbi (RMB).

Our valuation is summarized below and the valuation certificates are attached.

Yours faithfully, for and on behalf of Jones Lang LaSalle Corporate Appraisal and Advisory Limited Eddie T. W. Yiu

MRICS MHKIS RPS (GP) Director

Note: Eddie T.W. Yiu is a Chartered Surveyor who has 20 years’ experience in the valuation of properties in Hong Kong and the PRC as well as relevant experience in the Asia-Pacific region.
