The Consideration Shares will be issued and allotted subject to the approval of Independent ALT Shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting of a specific mandate to be granted to the Directors.

  • (a) all the warranties, representations, indemnities and undertakings given or made by the Vendor under the Sale and Purchase Agreement remain true and correct at all times as from the signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement up to the Completion Date;

  • (b) the passing by the Independent ALT Shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting of an ordinary resolution to approve the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated in the Sale and Purchase Agreement;

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

  • (c) the listing of, and permission to deal in, all the Consideration Shares being granted by the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange (and such permission and listing not subsequently being revoked prior to the delivery of definitive share certificate(s) representing the Consideration Shares);

  • (d) the entering into of a service agreement between Mr. Zhao Rui and the Company or its subsidiary (in a form to be agreed between Mr. Zhao Rui and the Company);

  • (e) the entering into of the Termination Agreement by the parties thereto; and

  • (f) all necessary approvals and consents from all relevant governmental, regulatory or other authorities and third parties in respect of the transactions contemplated in the Sale and Purchase Agreement having been obtained and not having been revoked.

Completion of the Sale and Purchase Agreement

Completion shall take place on the 5th business day after the fulfillment or satisfaction or waiver by the Company of all the Conditions Precedent.

If any of the Conditions Precedent has not been fulfilled or waived by the Company in its absolute discretion by 30th November, 2002 (or such later date as may be agreed in writing between the parties thereto), the Sale and Purchase Agreement shall from such date have no effect and no party shall have any liability under them (without prejudice to the rights of any party in respect of antecedent breaches).

Basis on which the Consideration was determined

The Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the parties thereto after taking into account, amongst other things, an analysis prepared by the management of the Company with reference to the underlying businesses and future prospects of Fusion Tech, the possible benefits from the synergetic effect between the businesses of the Company and Fusion Tech and a valuation report prepared by VC Partners (Asia) Limited, an independent valuation consulting firm in Hong Kong, dated 2nd January, 2002 valuing the entire equity interest in Xinganxian at HK$164,000,000 as at 31st December, 2001. In addition, in order to allow the Independent ALT Shareholders and the Independent Board Committee to have a better base to assess the transactions contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement, BMI Appraisals Limited, an independent business valuer, was appointed by the Company subsequent to the Announcement Date to report on the valuation of the entire equity interest in Fusion Tech as at 31st August, 2002, the amount of which is HK$100 million. The Consideration of HK$45.4 million represents a discount of approximately 0.66% to the value attributed to the 45.702% equity interest in Fusion Tech as at 31st August, 2002 as reported by BMI Appraisals Limited (the “Valuation”). In addition, the Consideration, if based on the closing price of HK$0.089 per ALT Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 5th September, 2002, of HK$27.1 million represents a significant discount of approximately 40.7% to the Valuation.

The Directors consider that the Sale and Purchase Agreement was entered into on normal commercial terms and the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are fair and reasonable so far as the Group and the Independent ALT Shareholders are concerned.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

The principal activity of the Company is investment holding and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the provision of supply chain and logistics related solutions and services, including research and development, consultancy, offering of software solutions, implementation, and turnkey solutions.

The Directors consider that, by entering into the Sale and Purchase Agreement, Fusion Tech will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which can capture the most benefits for the Group from the synergies arising from the increased cooperation between the Group and Fusion Tech in providing the total integrated logistics solutions and services to the customers. The logistics management technologies and solutions of the Group could most effectively be complemented and applied with the logistics consultancy and services of Fusion Tech in the marketplace securing every competitive edge to the Group as a one-stop supply chain and logistics solution provider in the Greater China Region.

Following the accession of the PRC into WTO, it is apparent that the logistics services will be one of the blooming industries in the PRC. Accordingly, the Directors believe that the increase in shareholding interest in Fusion Tech will enhance business cooperation between the Group and Fusion Tech and result in a synergetic effect that would be in the best interest of the Group and to the benefit of the ALT Shareholders as a whole.

INFORMATION ON FUSION TECH

Fusion Tech is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and is an indirect 54.298% owned subsidiary of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Fusion Tech is an investment holding company which indirectly holds 100% equity interest in Xinganxian and ALTJ which were established on 23rd October, 2000 and 13th June, 2002 respectively. The companies are principally engaged in the provision of the fourth parties logistics services, logistics management, development and implementation of supply chain technologies and the related consultancy services in the PRC.

After Completion, Fusion Tech will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The unaudited consolidated loss before and after tax of Fusion Tech for the period from 5th July, 2000 (being the date of incorporation of Fusion Tech) to 31st December, 2001 were approximately HK$286,000 and HK$286,000 respectively whereas the unaudited consolidated loss before and after tax of Fusion Tech for the six months ended 30th June, 2002 were approximately HK$384,000 and HK$384,000 respectively. The unaudited consolidated net tangible assets of Fusion Tech was approximately HK$110,000 as at 30th June, 2002.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Since Fusion Tech was incorporated in July 2000 and actually commenced its operation in 2001, thus the business of the Fusion Tech’s group of companies is currently in the development stage and operating under negative profitability. Nevertheless, the Company is of the view that, through Fusion Tech, it will be able to enter into the Chinese logistics service market and penetrate into major cities (including Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou and Chengdu) via 150 service points immediately, which creates a crucial value for the Company as the leading logistics services provider in the PRC. Up to the Latest Practicable Date, Fusion Tech and its subsidiaries have entered into three memoranda of understanding with prospective customers in Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Beijing for provision of logistics services. As such, the Directors consider that the acquisition of the remaining interest in Fusion Tech will bring along with favourable contribution to the Group.

On 4th September, 2000, Cyber Pilot has granted a shareholder’s loan to Fusion Tech in the sum of HK$10,000,000 which is still outstanding as at the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement. Cyber Pilot only became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company on 3rd January, 2002 upon exercise by the Company of the exchangeable notes, details of which was disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 8th June, 2001. The shareholder’s loan was granted by the previous sole shareholder of Cyber Pilot and it was pre-existing before Cyber Pilot became a subsidiary of the Company. The amount and terms of the shareholder’s loan remain unchanged since Cyber Pilot became a subsidiary of the Company.

REASONS FOR ENTERING INTO A SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH MR. ZHAO RUI

Mr. Zhao Rui is a director and the key management of Fusion Tech. In order to secure Mr. Zhao Rui’s dedication and long-term service to the Group, the Directors believe that the entering into of a service agreement with Mr. Zhao Rui would be in the best interest of the Group and to the benefit of the ALT Shareholders as a whole.

Mr. Zhao Rui, a director of Fusion Tech, owns 20% equity interest in Jinganxian which is principally engaged in the business of logistics services and technology provider in the PRC. The balance of the remaining 80% equity interest in Jinganxian is owned by Mr. Zhao Zhi, the brother of Mr. Zhao Rui. Jinganxian and Xinganxian entered into exclusive services agreements both on 10th November, 2000 that Xinganxian would provide logistics technology and marketing services to Jinganxian, in return, Jinganxian would pay to Xinganxian 90% of its profit before tax, if any. Up to the Latest Practicable Date, no service has been provided by Xinganxian to Jinganxian. Moreover, Jinganxian has been a loss-making company and accordingly, no consideration has been ever paid to Xinganxian under the exclusive services agreements. The unaudited loss before and after taxation of Jinganxian for the year ended 31st December, 2001 were approximately RMB1.9 million and RMB1.9 million respectively. The unaudited loss before and after taxation of Jinganxian for the six months ended 30th June, 2002 were approximately RMB0.65 million and RMB0.65 million respectively. The Directors are of the view that the exclusive services agreements entered into between Xinganxian and Jinganxian are on normal commercial terms. The Company will ensure that any services to be

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

provided by Xinganxian to Jinganxian pursuant to the exclusive services agreements will comply with the requirements of the Listing Rules. Each of Mr. Zhao Zhi and Mr. Zhao Rui has also undertaken, amongst other things, to procure the transfer of his equity interests in Jinganxian to Fusion Tech or its nominees at nominal value at the request of Fusion Tech. Upon the Completion and the transfer of such equity interests from Mr. Zhao Zhi and Mr. Zhao Rui, Jinganxian would be an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company will also ensure that such transfer will comply with the requirements of the Listing Rules.

GENERAL

27 September 2002

To the Independent Board Committee of Asia Logistics Technologies Limited

Dear Sirs,

We refer to our engagement to advise the Independent Board Committee in respect of the proposed connected, discloseable and share transaction of the Company announced on 5 September 2002 (the “Announcement”) which involves, inter alia, the purchase of 45,702 shares representing 45.702% of the issued share capital of Fusion Tech from the Vendor for a consideration of HK$0.4 million in cash and HK$45.0 million by way of issue and allotment of 300 million new shares of the Company (the “Consideration Shares”) at an issue price of HK$0.15 per Consideration Share (the “Transaction”). Unless defined otherwise, terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as those defined in the section headed “Definitions” in the circular of the Company dated 27 September 2002 (the “Circular”) of which this letter forms part. Furthermore, unless specified otherwise, the exchange rate adopted in this letter for currency conversion between HK$ and RMB is HK$1.00 = RMB1.07.

Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the equity interests of the Group in Fusion Tech will increase from approximately 54.298% immediately before completion of the Sale and Purchase Agreement to 100%, which will result in Fusion Tech becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Vendor is a substantial shareholder of Fusion Tech and is considered to be a connected person for the Company under the Listing Rules. Therefore, the entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement constitutes a connected transaction of the Company according to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and will be subject to the approval of the Independent ALT Shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Vendor, Mr. Lam Yan Chit, Humfry and their respective associates (as defined under the Listing Rules) do not have any shareholding interest in the Company. Should they purchase any ALT Shares prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting, they will abstain from voting on the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting to approve the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein.

LETTER FROM DTCFL

We have been appointed as the financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee to give an opinion as to whether the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are fair and reasonable so far as the interests of the Independent ALT Shareholders as a whole are concerned and on whether the Independent Board Committee should recommend the Independent ALT Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to approve the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein.

We consider that we have reviewed sufficient information to reach an informed view and to justify reliance on the accuracy of the information contained in the Circular and to provide a reasonable basis for our recommendation.

BACKGROUND OF THE COMPANY

At the time of listing of the Company on the Stock Exchange in October 1998, it was principally engaged in the operation of bowling recreation centres in major cities within Fujian Province of the PRC. In 2000, the Company went through a series of changes in its shareholding structure and in the composition of the board of Directors, and the principal business of the Company has been transformed into the provision of logistics technologies covering supply chain and logistics related services. Pursuant to the passing of a special resolution of the Company and the issuance of the certificate of incorporation by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands, the Company successfully changed its name from Wah Yik Holdings Company Limited to Asia Logistics Technologies Limited with effect from 31 July 2000.

LETTER FROM DTCFL

The Group has since undertaken a series of disposals and acquisitions and related activities in transforming its business into the provision of supply chain and logistics related services. In particular, the Group announced, on 3 January 2001, the acquisition of 51% interest in Han International Consulting Company Limited (“Han International”) the principal business of which, following completion of the acquisition, comprised the provision of consultancy services and sale of software management solutions in the PRC. The equity interests of the Group in Han International were increased to approximately 61.8% pursuant to the sale of certain assets and business by the Group to Han International in consideration of the allotment and issue of shares of Han International as announced on 12 December 2001 and the exercise of convertible notes issued to the Company by Han International on 21 January 2002. On 10 May 2002, the Company’s stake in Han International was reduced to 30% as a result of the subscription of new shares in Han International and the injection of assets into Han International by Legend Group Limited, one of the most prominent information technology equipment and consultancy services providers in the PRC.

On 8 June 2001, the Group announced that it had subscribed for two series of exchangeable notes in January and June of 2001 exchangeable, in two stages, for an aggregate of 100% share capital of Cyber Pilot which owned a 52.225% stake in Fusion Tech, a company, through its subsidiaries, engaged in the provision of fourth parties logistics services, logistics management, development and implementation of supply chain technologies and the related consultancy services in the PRC. Before the conversion of the exchangeable notes on 3 January 2002, the Group also acquired a 2.073% stake in Fusion Tech. Therefore, Cyber Pilot owned a total of 54.298% stake in Fusion Tech upon the conversion of the exchangeable notes.

On 16 October 2001, the Company further announced the acquisition of approximately 18.5% equity interests in New World CyberBase Limited, a company listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange principally engaged in the provision of one-stop-shop e-Business solutions including software products, application solutions, network solutions and information technology services in the Greater China Region. The Company further increased its equity interests in New World CyberBase Limited to approximately 27.5% in April 2002 by the subscription and underwriting of its rights issue.

As described in the “Letter from the chairman” in the Circular, the Group now positions itself as a provider of supply chain and logistics related solutions and services, including research and development, consultancy, offering of software solutions, implementation, and turnkey solutions.

LETTER FROM DTCFL

PRINCIPAL FACTORS CONSIDERED

Fusion Tech and the expected benefits from the Sale and Purchase Agreement

As disclosed in the Announcement, Fusion Tech is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands in July 2000, which commenced operations in 2001. Its business is currently in the development stage. The consolidated unaudited loss before and after tax of Fusion Tech for the six months ended 30 June 2002 was approximately HK$384,000 and HK$384,000 respectively while the consolidated unaudited net tangible asset value of Fusion Tech as at 30 June 2002 was approximately HK$110,000.

Fusion Tech indirectly holds 100% interests in two wholly foreign-owned enterprises established under the laws of the PRC, Xinganxian and ALTJ. Both companies are engaged in the provision of fourth parties logistics services, logistics management, development and implementation of supply chain technologies and related consultancy services in the PRC.

Xinganxian entered into exclusive agreements on 10 November 2000 with Jinganxian, a logistics services and technology provider in the PRC owned as to 20% by Mr. Zhao Rui and as to 80% by his brother, Mr. Zhao Zhi. Under these 15-year agreements, Xinganxian would provide logistics technology and marketing services to Jinganxian in return for 90% of Jinganxian’s profit before tax. As advised by the Directors, Xinganxian may also provide such services to customers other than Jinganxian. However, up to the Latest Practicable Date, no services have been provided by Xinganxian to Jinganxian or any other customers.

Jinganxian is principally engaged in the provision of road transportation and integrated logistics services. Jinganxian has been a loss-making company for the two years ended 31 December 2001. Mr. Zhao Rui and Mr. Zhao Zhi have each undertaken to procure the transfer of their equity interests in Jinganxian at nominal value to Fusion Tech or its nominees at the request of Fusion Tech.

ALTJ commenced operations in September 2002 to provide fourth party logistics services, logistics management, development and implementation of supply chain technologies and related consultancy services in the PRC. Up to the Latest Practicable Date, no revenue has been generated by ALTJ. As confirmed by the Directors, Fusion Tech will centralise its resources and provide services in the PRC through ALTJ. ALTJ will become the main operating arm of Fusion Tech’s group of companies.

Mr. Zhao Rui, a director and the key management of Fusion Tech, will enter into a service contract with Fusion Tech or its subsidiary in order to ensure the continued smooth running of operations upon Completion. The service contract will contain certain conditions and terms so that Mr. Zhao’s compensation will be based on the financial result and performance of Fusion Tech.

– 16 –

LETTER FROM DTCFL

We have been informed that the Directors foresee that, in providing the total integrated logistics solutions and services to the customers, there will be increased cooperation between the Group and Fusion Tech. The logistics management technologies and solutions of the Group could most effectively be complemented and applied with the logistics consultancy and services of Fusion Tech in the marketplace securing every competitive edge to the Group as a one-stop supply chain and logistics solution provider in the Greater China Region.

As stated in the “Letter from the chairman” in the Circular, following the accession of the PRC into the WTO, it is apparent that logistics services will be one of the blooming industries in the PRC. According to the “Business China” report published by the Economist Intelligence Unit, logistics costs in the PRC are currently many times those in the US and the European Union, due to inadequate transportation infrastructure and fragmented distribution networks. Wholly foreign owned logistics networks in the PRC are to be allowed by 2004. Foreign competition is expected to result in large-scale third party logistics providers. The outsourced transportation and logistics market in the PRC is estimated to be worth RMB39 billion in 2001, and forecasted growth in this market is expected to exceed 25% per annum over 2002 to 2003. Fusion Tech is mainly engaged in fourth party logistics businesses, serving these third party logistics providers, and is thus positioned to benefit as these third party logistics providers gain market share, as multinationals and large domestic companies lead the trend towards outsourcing their transport and logistics operations.

Through entering into the Sale and Purchase Agreement, Fusion Tech will become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Directors believe that the Group will then be in a most flexible position (both business-wise and regulatory-wise) in managing the increase in cooperation between the Group and Fusion Tech and be able to combine expertise, apply technologies, reengineer work processes and redistribute resources effectively. Through the network of Fusion Tech’s 150 service points in major cities in the PRC, the Group would be able to establish critical mass and a large coverage in the PRC to quickly and competently attract medium and large size customers from different kinds of industries. The Directors consider that this type of customers has more stable and recurring demand for services and has more resources for integrated supply chain management solutions.

In consideration of the factors set out above in respect of the benefits from the Sale and Purchase Agreement, we consider that the Sale and Purchase Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Independent ALT Shareholders as a whole. Although Fusion Tech is currently at the start-up stage of development, in view of the positive growth prospects for the PRC logistics industry, the potential for Fusion Tech’s substantial network of service points in the PRC, and the prospects for synergy between Fusion Tech and other businesses within the Group, we consider that the expected benefits from the Transaction are justifiable.

LETTER FROM DTCFL

Consideration of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the issue price of the Consideration Shares

Under the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Company would purchase from the Vendor 45,702 shares which represent 45.702% of the entire issued share capital of Fusion Tech at a consideration of HK$45,400,000, which is to be satisfied as to HK$400,000 by cash payable upon Completion and as to HK$45,000,000 by allotment and issuance of 300 million new shares of the Company at an issue price of HK$0.15 per ALT Share on Completion.

The Vendor is a company wholly owned by Mr. Lam Yan Chit, Humfry, who is a director of Fusion Tech. The Vendor and the Company have agreed that 30 million Consideration Shares representing 10% of the total number of the Consideration Shares will be delivered to the Vendor upon Completion, with the remaining 270 million Consideration Shares to be held in escrow. A further 150 million Consideration Shares representing 50% of the total number of the Consideration Shares will be released to the Vendor 6 months after Completion, and the remaining 120 million Consideration Shares representing 40% of the total number of the Consideration Shares will be released to the Vendor 12 months after Completion. The Directors are of the opinion, and we concur, that such arrangement will secure the Consideration Shares as a long-term investment of the Vendor in the Company thus reducing the potential price fluctuation of the ALT Shares. As confirmed by the Directors, Mr. Lam Yan Chit, Humfry will resign as a director of Fusion Tech after Completion.

As shown in the graph below, the issue price of the Consideration Shares is at a substantial premium of approximately 69% over the closing price of HK$0.089 per ALT Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 5th September 2002, the date of the Announcement. The issue price of the Consideration Shares is also at a substantial premium of approximately 39% over the average traded value per ALT Share of HK$0.108 over the six months to 5th September 2002.

LETTER FROM DTCFL

The Group originally paid approximately HK$78.56 million for its initial 54.298% stake in Fusion Tech (by way of acquiring a 2.073% stake from the Vendor and the conversion of the exchangeable notes into a 100% interest in Cyber Pilot in January 2002). This original purchase price valued a 100% stake in Fusion Tech at approximately HK$144.68 million.

The effective price to be paid by the Group for a 45.702% interest in Fusion Tech under the Sale and Purchase Agreement, based on the new share issue price of HK$0.15 per ALT Share, is HK$45.4 million. This purchase price values a 100% stake in Fusion Tech at approximately HK$99.34 million, which represents a discount of approximately 31.34% to the original price paid by the Group.

The effective price to be paid by the Group for a 45.702% interest in Fusion Tech under the Sale and Purchase Agreement, based on the closing price of HK$0.089 per ALT Share on 5 September 2002, the date of the Announcement, is HK$27.1 million. This purchase price values a 100% stake in Fusion Tech at approximately HK$59.30 million, which represents a discount of approximately 59.01% to the original price paid by the Group.

We are of the view that the above-mentioned discounts with reference to the original price paid by the Group are indicative only. The original price is not totally comparable to the price for the Transaction when taking into account (i) the market conditions at different points of time and; (ii) a premium originally paid for acquiring the controlling stake of Fusion Tech.

The Consideration was determined after arms length negotiations between the parties, taking into account the underlying businesses and future prospects of Fusion Tech, the potential benefits from synergy between the Group’s business and that of Fusion Tech and a valuation report on Xinganxian as at 31 December 2001 from VC Partners (Asia) Limited dated 2 January 2002. The Directors have confirmed that this valuation report was prepared for the purpose of preparation of the Company’s annual report and the evaluation on the conversion of the exchangeable notes. We are of the view that such report is not entirely relevant to the Transaction since it was dated 9 months ago. ALTJ had not yet been incorporated as at the date of valuation and subsequently the management of Fusion Tech has determined to use ALTJ as the main operating arm of Fusion Tech.

The effective price to be paid by the Group under the Sale and Purchase Agreement, based on the closing price of HK$0.089 per ALT Share on 5 September 2002, represents a substantial premium of approximately 53,800% over the consolidated unaudited net tangible asset value of Fusion Tech. However, it represents a significant discount of approximately 40.7% to the value of HK$100 million attributed to Fusion Tech as at 31 August 2002 (“the Valuation”) taking into account its future prospects by BMI Appraisals Limited (the “Valuer”), an independent business valuer. The Consideration to be paid by the Group under the Sale and Purchase Agreement based on the new share issue price of HK$0.15 per ALT Share represents a substantial premium of approximately 90,200% over the consolidated unaudited net tangible asset value of Fusion Tech and represents a discount of 0.7% to the Valuation. In view of the business potential of Fusion Tech as reflected in the valuation report prepared by the Valuer (the “Valuation Report”) and the positive growth prospects of the PRC logistics industry, we consider that the premium over the consolidated unaudited net tangible asset value is acceptable.

– 19 –

LETTER FROM DTCFL

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration, we have reviewed the methodology, bases and assumptions underlying the Valuation prepared by the Valuer.

(i) Methodology

As noted from the Valuation Report, there are two generally accepted valuation approaches to value Fusion Tech, namely (a) the Market Approach; and (b) the Income Approach. The Valuer considers that, given its start-up nature and in the absence of sufficient historical financial track record of Fusion Tech, the Income Approach is a more appropriate method of valuing the logistics business of Fusion Tech. Under this approach, the expected future economic benefits of Fusion Tech have been estimated using the discounted value of the future cash flows of Fusion Tech.

If the Market Approach is adopted in valuing Fusion Tech, relevant market comparables have to be obtained. However, those relevant market comparables had already been in operation for a number of years and are more mature than Fusion Tech, which lacks sufficient financial track record. As such, we concur with the Valuer’s view that the Income Approach is an appropriate method for the Valuation.

(ii) Factors considered in the Valuation Report

We noted that in arriving the Valuation, the Valuer has considered, inter alia, (a) the nature and businesses carried on by Fusion Tech and the history of the operation from its inception; (b) the business development plans of Fusion Tech; (c) the financial conditions of Fusion Tech; (d) the economic outlook and the industry outlook in general; and (e) the market-derived investment returns of entities engaged in similar lines of business. In addition, due to the changing environments in which Fusion Tech is operating, a number of assumptions has been established by the Valuer in order to support their valuation. We are of the view that the factors considered by the Valuer in arriving at the Valuation are adequate and appropriate and the assumptions adopted by the Valuer are fair and reasonable.

Despite the significant premium of the Consideration over the consolidated unaudited net tangible asset value of Fusion Tech, we consider the Consideration is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent ALT Shareholders are concerned based on the following reasons:

  • (a) the approximately 31.34% discount of the Consideration (based on the new share issue price of HK$0.15 per ALT Share) to the original price paid by the Group as explained above;

– 20 –

LETTER FROM DTCFL

  • (b) the approximately 40.7% discount of the Consideration (based on the closing price of HK$0.089 per ALT Share on 5 September 2002) to the Valuation in which we have reviewed the methodology, factors, bases and assumptions considered and/or adopted; and

  • (c) the significant premium of the issue price of the Consideration Shares of HK$0.15 per ALT Share over the prevailing ALT Share price.

Financial effects on the Group

The consolidated results of Fusion Tech will continue to be consolidated into the results of the Group as a wholly owned subsidiary from the date of Completion. The consolidated unaudited net tangible asset value of Fusion Tech as at 30 June 2002 was approximately HK$0.1 million, which represented less than 0.1% of the consolidated audited net tangible asset value of the Group of HK$278.8 million as at 31 December 2001. We are of the view that the Transaction will have no material adverse impact on the net tangible assets of the Group.

The unaudited consolidated loss before and after tax of Fusion Tech for the six months to 30 June 2002 was approximately HK$0.4 million, which represented approximately 1.6% of the audited consolidated loss after tax of the Group of HK$24.3 million as at 31 December 2001. We consider this comparison to be at best partially relevant, as 2001 represented a transition year for the Group, during which it sold its remaining bowling recreational businesses and made a number of new investments in order to build and develop its position in the logistics technology and services field in the PRC.

The Directors anticipate that as a result of the acquisition of 45.702% interest in Fusion Tech, a goodwill impairment of approximately HK$25 million may arise subject to the valuation of Fusion Tech in the result of the Group for the year ending 31 December 2002. In addition, the Directors expect that goodwill of approximately HK$45 million will arise as a result of the Transaction, such goodwill will be amortised according to the Group’s accounting policies of over 20 years by using straight line method. In summary, such goodwill impairment and goodwill amortisation, if required, would result in a one-off loss of approximately HK$25 million in the year ending 31 December 2002 and an additional amortisation charge of approximately HK$2.25 million per year. The Directors consider, and we concur, that such treatment is acceptable as the impairment and amortisation of goodwill are non-cash items which do not affect the operations of the Group.

– 21 –

LETTER FROM DTCFL

In view of the cash consideration of HK$400,000 for the Transaction, the Directors believe that the Transaction will have no material adverse impact on the Group’s cash flows. Furthermore, the Directors are also of the view that the Transaction will have a potential positive effect on the future earnings of the Group having considered (i) the business potential of Fusion Tech; (ii) the memorandum of understanding entered into with prospective customers by Fusion Tech and its subsidaries as mentioned in the “Letter from the chairman” in the Circular; and (iii) the positive growth prospects of the PRC logistics industry.

Shareholding dilution to existing ALT Shareholders

Based on the issue price of HK$0.15 per Consideration Share, a total of 300,000,000 ALT Shares will be issued by the Company representing approximately 8.98% of the existing issued ALT Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date and approximately 8.24% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by such issue. The interests of the existing ALT Shareholders will be diluted from 100% to approximately 91.76%. Although the existing ALT Shareholders will suffer a dilution in their shareholding, taking into account the earning potential of Fusion Tech as reflected in the business valuation of Fusion Tech, we believe that the dilution effect on the shareholding of the ALT Shareholders is acceptable.

CONCLUSION

Having considered the principal factors and reasons referred to the above, we consider that the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein are in the interests of the Company and the terms thereof are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent ALT Shareholders as a whole are concerned. Accordingly, we would advise the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent ALT Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Extraordinary General Meeting to approve the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of

Deloitte & Touche Corporate Finance Ltd Lawrence Chia Managing Director
