– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiation between the Vendor and the Purchaser on normal commercial terms with reference to the state of the Aircraft, the current market conditions of the private jet industry and the audited net asset value of the Aircraft of approximately US$8,800,000 (equivalent to HK$68,640,000) as of 30 June 2011. The aforesaid audited net asset value of the Aircraft was based on a valuation report prepared by an independent valuer for audit purposes adopting the market value in continued use approach where market value is defined as the estimated amount at which the Aircraft should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently, and without compulsion. Market value in continued use is further defined as amount of money at which a given property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, in an appropriate marketplace, when neither is acting under compulsion and when both have reasonable knowledge of relevant facts, including installation and other turnkey costs and assumes that earnings support the value reported. The Directors consider that the terms and conditions of the Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Conditions precedent
Completion shall be conditional upon:
-
(a) the compliance by the Company with all applicable requirements under the Listing Rules including but not limited to the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders (other than those who are required to abstain from voting under the Listing Rules) at the EGM approving the entering into the Agreement and the performance of all the transactions contemplated thereunder by the Vendor;
-
(b) all necessary consents, authorisations and approvals (or waivers) of any kind having been obtained by the Vendor and the Purchaser for completion of the transactions contemplated under the Agreement; and

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company is required to warrant to the Purchaser that the Aircraft will be sold to the Purchaser free from all encumbrances.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Completion
Completion shall take place within three (3) Business Days after, among others, fulfillment of the conditions precedent set out in the Agreement.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL AND USE OF PROCEEDS
The Group is principally engaged in the provision of network solutions and project services, aircraft leasing and property investment business.
The Aircraft was acquired by the Group on 1 March 2010 at a consideration of HK$96,000,000. Since the acquisition of the Aircraft, the continuous downturns in broad global economic trend exerts negative effect on the private jet industry. The net losses (before and after taxation and extraordinary items) contributed by the Aircraft leasing business were HK$1,500,000 and HK$17,400,000 for the financial years ended 30 June 2010 and 2011 respectively. As such, the Disposal provides an opportunity for the Group to realize the value of the Aircraft in an unstable market environment.
As disclosed in the announcements of the Company dated 1 September 2010 and 3 January 2011, the Vendor as lessor leased the Aircraft to the Lessee pursuant to the Lease Agreement. By a termination deed dated 12 September 2011 entered into between the Vendor and the Lessee, the Vendor and the Lessee have agreed to terminate the Lease Agreement with effect from the date of such deed. Under the termination deed, the Vendor is not required to pay any compensation for the termination.
The net proceeds from the Disposal amount to approximately HK$68,200,000. The Group intends to apply the net proceeds from the Disposal as general working capital of the Group and for financing new investment opportunities (if any). As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not identified any investment opportunities in general. Therefore, the Company has not decided the specific amount of net proceeds to be applied for the general working capital and the new investments respectively.
Taking into account the abovementioned reasons, the Directors are of the view that the terms and conditions of the Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.
FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL
As a result of the Disposal, the Group will incur an unaudited gain of approximately HK$200,000, being calculated by reference to the Consideration of US$8,825,000 (equivalent to HK$68,835,000) and the audited net asset value of the Aircraft of approximately US$8,800,000 (equivalent to HK$68,640,000) (which was based on a valuation report prepared by an independent valuer for audit purposes) as at 30 June 2011. Save as aforesaid, there will be no material impact to the assets and liabilities of the Group.
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
LISTING RULES IMPLICATION
As the relevant percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposal are more than 25% but less than 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the EGM.
To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, after having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Shareholders has a material interest in the Disposal. Therefore, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the proposed resolution to approve the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the EGM.
EGM
The notice of the EGM is set out on pages 18 to 19 of this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Abacus Limited at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, as soon as possible but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the EGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy shall not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be) should you so wish but the authority of your proxy will be invalidated forthwith.
The results of the voting at the EGM will be announced by the Company following the conclusion thereof.
RECOMMENDATION
The Directors consider that the Agreement has been entered into on normal commercial terms after arm’s length negotiation and the terms of the Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board recommends that all Shareholders vote in favour of the proposed ordinary resolution to approve the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the EGM.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Your attention is also drawn to the additional information set out in the appendices to this circular.
Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of the Board of Vision Values Holdings Limited Tang Chi Kei Company Secretary

APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP
Upon the Completion, the Group will continue to engage in the provision of the network solutions and project services and property investment business.
The Directors believe there would be no adverse impact on the Group’s operation as a result of the Disposal. Further, the net proceeds from the Disposal would improve the Group’s financial position.
Business Review
- Network Solutions and Project Services (‘‘NSPS’’)
A reduction in turnover of HK$2,700,000 was recorded during the financial year ended 30 June 2011 (the ‘‘Financial Year’’). The drop was primarily due to decrease in revenue from network solutions services. Orders for network solutions worth several millions of Hong Kong dollars were shipped just before year-end date. However, the recognition of revenue from these orders depends on acceptances from customers which would only be available in next financial year.
Among the achieved revenue during the Financial Year, more than half was generated from the sales of both telecom and enterprise networking solutions and the remaining was generated from the project and engineering services.
During the Financial Year, the Group succeeded in selling synchronization solutions to different network operators. These network operators replaced their obsolete synchronization system with the new synchronization system which adopted the latest technology standard of IEEE1588v2 for packet network.
The positioning of the Group as a leading wireless solution provider was successful. This positioning helped the Group to become the business partner of Channelot (a mobile TV transmitter manufacturer in Israel) and SwissQual (a Swiss company providing performance monitoring and bench marking system for cellular operators) in Hong Kong providing the sales and after sales support service of their mobile TV transmitters and performance monitoring system in the local territory.
During the Financial Year, the Group had introduced the wireless LAN system to some campus and high end customers. However, the overall sales performance of this wireless LAN system was still behind the Company’s expectation. This is because the competition of wireless LAN system is very keen in the market with many low end products especially in the education segment. Currently, the Group has lost market share on wireless LAN solutions to those low end suppliers. The requirements of reliable wireless LAN system for the smartphone (e.g. iPhone) and tablet (e.g. iPad) is increasing and becomes obvious in the near future. The Group believes its strategy in offering high end wireless LAN solution is the correct direction.

APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
Apart from the wireless solution products, the Group had also started the sales of the first digital signage system from Cayin Technology in Hong Kong. The solution is not only based on wired connection but also through wireless LAN. The first system was sold to a university in Hong Kong. The client is going to deploy the Group’s digital signage solution throughout its campus in the coming months with an aim to minimize the use of paper in order to protect the environment.
The Group’s business of project service remained stable. The base stations commissioning work conducted for Nokia Siemens networks was completed during the Financial Year. The Group had started the tetra trunk radio system installation for one of the tetra trunk radio system vendors for its customers including the Hong Kong Government and public utilities. The Group hopes that the co-operation with these customers will enable it to broaden its revenue base.
- Aircraft Leasing Services
The Group’s sole private jet was leased out during the whole Financial Year pursuant to the Lease Agreement.
- Property Investment
During the Financial Year, the Group leased out its office unit in Beijing, the PRC to an Independent Third Party. The villa in Beijing, the PRC remained vacant.
Financial Review
- Results Analysis
For the Financial Year, revenue for the Group remained stable amounting to HK$30,500,000 (2010: HK$30,500,000). Around 87% of the Group’s total revenue was generated from the business segment of NSPS.
The dropped in employee benefit expenses was due to no equity-settled share-based payments for the Financial Year (2010: HK$10,200,000).
Depreciation increased to HK$8,000,000 (2010: HK$2,900,000) which was mainly attributed to the full year depreciation charge of the Aircraft which was acquired in March 2010.
An impairment loss on the Aircraft in the amount of HK$13,000,000 (2010: Nil) was recognised based on a valuation report prepared by an independent qualified valuer.
Loss for the year attributable to the equity holders of the Company was HK$19,500,000 (2010: HK$17,100,000).
- Liquidity and Financial Resources
As at 30 June 2011, the capital and reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company were HK$153,100,000 (2010: HK$171,400,000).
