LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Basis of consideration for the Acquisition

The Acquisition Consideration has been agreed between the Vendors and the Purchaser based on arm’s length negotiations with reference to, among other factors, the consolidated profit after taxation of the Target Group for the year ended 31 December 2006 of approximately RMB21.5 million (or approximately HK$21.5 million), (ii) the synergies to be brought about to the Group through the Acquisition and (iii) the expertise of the management team of the Target Group who have indicated their intention to stay with, and integrate into the other bio-science and pharmaceutical related operations of the Group.

The Acquisition Consideration values the Target Group at approximately HK$366.7 million, which represents a price-to-book multiple of approximately 2.5 times of the net asset value of the Target Group as at 31 March 2007. The price-to-book multiple of approximately 2.5 times represents a substantial discount to the average of prevailing price-to-book multiples of approximately 9.6 times (Source: Reuters as at 23 July 2007) of 16 comparable companies which were selected based on criteria including that the companies are (i) in the pharmaceutical and healthcare related industry; (ii) with operations in the PRC and (iii) currently listed in Hong Kong.

On the above basis, the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) considers the terms of the Acquisition Agreement (including the consideration for the Acquisition at HK$366.7 million) are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable, and in the interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

Consideration Shares

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 1,086,000,280 Listco Shares in issue.

The maximum number of 66,670,000 Consideration Shares that may be required to be allotted and issued under the Acquisition Agreement (if so elects by the Purchaser at its sole discretion) represent approximately 6.14% of the existing issued share capital and approximately 5.78% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company immediately after the Acquisition.

The aggregate nominal value and the aggregate market value of the maximum number of 66,670,000 Consideration Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date are HK$6,667,000 and HK$466,690,000 respectively.

The issue price of each Consideration Share is HK$5.50 which represents:

  • (a) a discount of approximately 17.4% to the closing price of HK$6.66 per Listco Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • (b) a discount of approximately 8.5% to the average closing price of HK$6.01 per Listco Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

  • (c) a premium of 414% to the audited net asset value of the Company of approximately HK$1.07 per Listco Share as at 31 March 2007; and

10

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (d) a discount of approximately 21.43% to the closing price of HK$7.00 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) considered that the issue price per Consideration Share is fair and reasonable.

Except for the restriction imposed on the Consideration Shares under the non-disposal undertaking disclosed below, the Consideration Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Listco Shares in issue on the date of allotment of the Consideration Shares.

An application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consideration Shares.

Shareholding structure

The following table sets out the existing shareholding structure of the Company and the shareholding structure immediately after the Acquisition Completion:

In addition, the investment in and acquisition of a manufacturing facilities which have already obtained GMP certification suitable for the production of bio-science related (including pharmaceutical) products would be more efficient (as this enables the Group to derive synergies from the existing production operation of, in the present case, Shenzhen Watsin) and cost-effective than constructing its own manufacturing facilities since the Company does not need to spend extra capital and time for planning and constructing a manufacturing facilities.
