CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the main board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE DISPOSAL

The Company entered into a State-owned Land Use Rights Grant Contract in 2001 to acquire the Land at the consideration of approximately RMB1 million. Built on the Land is the Group’s research and development building.

The Group has leased a piece of land as its headquarter with total usable area of 79,704.2 sq.m. at southwestern corner of Xi’an Gaoxin District Zhang Ba Si Road and Jinye Road (西安高新區丈八四路與錦業路交叉口西南角) for a term of 3 years commencing from 16 July 2009 and expiring on 15 July 2012 at the annual rental of RMB5,958,690. The Group will gradually relocate the departments now located at the Building to its headquarter after completion of the Disposal, and considers that it will have sufficient space for its operation. On the other hand, the Group intends to redeploy its assets and properties with a view to improving liquidity and consolidating its financial position. The Disposal will also save the maintenance expenses of the Building and the Equipment.

The Directors consider that the terms of the Agreement are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL

With reference to the audited accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2010, the aggregate net book value of the Assets was approximately RMB33.90 million as at 31 December 2010. It is estimated that the Disposal will result in a book profit of approximately RMB6.10 million with reference to the net book value of the Assets as at 31 December 2010 for the financial year ending 31 December 2011.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The proceeds of RMB40 million from the Disposal, after deducting expenses arising therefrom for approximately HK$1 million, will be used as to RMB24 million for repayment of bank loans and the balance will be used as general working capital of the Group.

GEM LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

The Disposal constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules, and therefore is subject to the notification and announcement requirements thereunder.

REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

Pursuant to Article 103 of the Articles of Association, the power of the Board in disposing the assets of the Company is limited to the approval of the disposal or rent of assets with an amount not exceeding 30% net asset value and in aggregate not exceeding 50% net asset value per annum as shown in the latest audited financial statements.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to Article 104 of the Articles of Association, the Directors shall not, without the prior approval of shareholders in general meeting, dispose or agree to dispose of any fixed assets of the Company if the aggregate of:

  • (i) the expected value of the fixed assets proposed to be disposed of; and

  • (ii) the total consideration received by the Company for all disposals of fixed assets which took place within the period of four months immediately preceding the proposed disposal,

exceeds 33% of the value of the Company’s fixed assets as shown in the latest balance sheet placed before the shareholders in general meeting.

As the amount of the Assets exceeds 30% of the net asset value of approximately RMB45.54 million and 33% of the value of fixed assets of approximately RMB115.96 million as shown in the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2010, the Disposal exceeds the limit of the power of the Board in disposing assets of the Company and is subject to the approval of the Shareholders in general meeting.
