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 and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

The 200 million New Domestic Shares represent:
-
(i) approximately 22.59% of the total issued Domestic Shares as at the Last Trading Day;
-
(ii) approximately 13.06% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Last Trading Day;
-
(iii) approximately 18.43% of the total issued Domestic Shares as enlarged by the issue of the New Domestic Shares; and
-
(iv) approximately 11.55% of the total issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the New Domestic Shares.
Prior to enter into the Subscription Agreements, the Company has made enquiries with the existing holders of the Domestic Shares regarding their intention to subscribe for New Domestic Shares and the number of New Domestic Shares which they intended to subscribe. Among the existing holders of Domestic Shares, only Gaoxiang Investment and Mr. Xiao (being the ultimate beneficial owner of Xi’an Tian An Investment Co., Ltd.* (西安天安投資有限公司) which is owned as to 60% by Mr. Xiao and 40% by his mother) had informed the Company of their intention. Mr. Chen had informed the Company that Mr. Zhang Jiandong and Ms. Jin Rongfei, both of whom are business contacts of Mr. Chen, intended to invest in the Company by subscribing for the New Domestic Shares. The Company therefore negotiated with the Subscribers and entered into the Subscription Agreements with them.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
4. Subscription Price and payment terms
The Subscription Price of RMB0.21 (equivalent to approximately HK$0.248) per New Domestic Share represents:
-
(i) a discount of approximately 96.65% to the closing price of HK$7.400 per H Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
-
(ii) a discount of approximately 96.44% to the average closing price of HK$6.966 per H Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
-
(iii) a discount of approximately 96.22% to the average closing price of HK$6.563 per H Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last ten trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
-
(iv) a premium of approximately 336.87% over the net asset value of the Company of approximately RMB0.04807 per Share based on the Company’s unaudited consolidated net asset value attributable to owners of the Company of approximately RMB73,596,000 as at 30 June 2017; and
-
(v) a discount of approximately 96.09% to the closing price of HK$6.350 per H Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date.
The net Subscription Price, after deduction of relevant expenses, is approximately RMB0.205 per New Domestic Share.
The total Subscription Price is to be satisfied by each Subscriber by way of bank transfer or such other method, e.g., by cheque or remittance, as the Company and each Subscriber may agree.
The Subscription Price of RMB0.21 (equivalent to approximately HK$0.248) per New Domestic Share was determined principally with reference to the net asset value of the Company as at 30 June 2017 of RMB0.04807 per Share, the financial performance of the Company and the non-listing status of the New Domestic Shares. The Domestic Shares are not listed and therefore there is no publicly available trading price. Since the trading price of the H Shares was the only publicly available information regarding the price of the Shares, the Directors have also taken into account the then prevailing market capitalisation (i.e., market price) of the H Shares as of the Lasting Trading Date, but considered that it shall not be a principal nor material factor given the fact that the Domestic Shares and the H Shares are different classes of Shares and the Domestic Shares are not listed on any stock exchange. In setting the Subscription Price, apart from the net assets value of the Company as at 30 June 2017 and the par value of RMB0.1 of the Shares as the Company is prohibited by the relevant PRC law to issue new Shares at a price below its par value, the other key factor considered by the Company was its funding requirements for those purposes as described in the section headed “Use of proceeds” in this letter. While the level of discount to market price of H Shares is not considered to be a key factor, a subscription price at a level of premium to the net asset value of the Company as at 30 June 2017 at which the Company’s funding requirements can be satisfied is considered to be a key factor of the Company in determining the Subscription Price. In view of the above, the Directors
- 8 -
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
(including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Subscription Price, being a premium of approximately 336.87% over the net asset value of the Company’s unaudited consolidated net asset value as at 30 June 2017, is fair and reasonable. On the other hand, taking into account the non-listing status of the New Domestic Shares, the relatively weak financial performance of the Group in recent financial years, the benefits of the issue of Domestic Shares and the fact that there is no better financing alternatives available to the Group as disclosed in the section headed “Reasons for and the benefits of the issue of the New Domestic Shares” of this letter, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Subscription Price, being a discount of approximately 96.65% to the closing price of H Shares on the Last Trading Day, is fair and reasonable.
5. Conditions precedent
Completion of each of the Subscription Agreements is conditional upon the satisfaction of the conditions below:
-
(i) the obtaining by the Company of the approval by the Independent Shareholders for the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder in accordance with the Articles of Association of the Company and the relevant laws and regulations;
-
(ii) the obtaining by the Company of all consents and approvals required for the issue of the New Domestic Shares from the relevant regulatory authorities (if any); and
-
(iii) each of the parties to the Subscription Agreement has not committed a material breach of the terms thereof.
As advised the PRC legal adviser of the Company, the issue of the New Domestic Shares shall be approved by the Department of Commerce of Shaanxi Province (陝西省商務廳) and does not require to be approved by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (中國證券監督管理委員會). Following the obtain of the approval of the Department of Commerce of Shaanxi Province (陝西省商務廳), the Company will undertake the registration procedures with the Department of Industry and Commerce (工商行政管理 部門).
If any of the above conditions is not satisfied on or before 30 June 2018 (or such other date as may be agreed by the parties to the Subscription Agreement), the Subscription Agreement shall be terminated and, save for any antecedent breach, the rights and obligations of each of the parties to the Subscription Agreement shall cease and determine.
6. Completion
Each Subscription Agreement is to be completed within three business days after the satisfaction of the conditions, or at such other date as may be agreed between the Company and the Subscriber.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
USE OF PROCEEDS
The gross proceeds from the issue of the New Domestic Shares will be RMB42 million. The estimated net proceeds from the issue of the New Domestic Shares will be approximately RMB41 million. The Board intends that the net proceeds will be used as follows:
-
(i) approximately RMB30 million for the research and development, trial production, production, marketing and general working expenses of new models of antennas including antennas manufactured by the use of new materials, WIFI antennas and 5G antennas;
-
(ii) approximately RMB10 million for the research and development, trial production, production, marketing and general working expenses of heavy-lift unmanned gyroplane and mini commanding and monitoring unmanned gyroplane by Haitian Aerospace; and
-
(iii) approximately RMB1 million for the research and development, trial production, production, marketing and general working expenses of underwater surveillance equipment by Haitian Marine.
The amount of proceeds allocated to the above business segments of the Group is determined based on the respective business plan and estimation on funding requirements. Further information regarding the above business segments of the Group is as follows:
1. Business plan
(i) Sales of antennas products and related services
Leveraging on years of experience in the mobile communication industry, together with its own technical experience accumulated over the years, and after devoting substantial resources to development and research in recent years, the Company has now been developing a series of antennas products with new materials which are characterised by new broadband, multiple-beam, high gain and full-angle coverage through integrating new dielectric materials with communication technology. These products are energy-saving and environment-friendly, and can increase access capacity by 3 to 4 times in practical uses. Coupled with wider coverage and better user internet perception, these products represent a technical innovation on traditional antennas design. The new antennas products will be widely used in 3G, 4G network optimisation, 5G network construction, emergency communication support, WIFI hot coverage and other areas. Currently, some of the products have been substantially finalised and will be gradually put into market after pilot launch. It is expected that this will greatly improve the Company’s operating condition in mobile communication products, and increase the Company’s revenues generated from the communication industry.
(ii) Sales of unmanned aerial products
With unceasing efforts, the Company has completed UAV simulation test for largeloaded UAV products; and for multi-axis rotor UAV, the Company has completed research and development of industrial UAV and has started to launch related marketing activities. With the

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ISSUE OF THE NEW DOMESTIC SHARES
The issue of the New Domestic Shares represents a good opportunity not only for raising capital for the Group to fulfill its capital requirements in expansion and development of businesses, but also for strengthening the financial position of the Group. Besides, the Board considers that the issue of the New Domestic Shares will broaden the capital and shareholder base of the Company and, at the same time, increase the net asset value per Share, notwithstanding the dilution effect to the percentage in shareholding of the existing Shareholders as a whole. As disclosed in the section headed “Effects on the shareholding structure of the Company as a result of the issue of the New Domestic Shares” of this letter, upon completion of the Subscription, the shareholding interests of the existing public Shareholders would be diluted by approximately 1.10%.
Based on the unaudited management accounts of the Company, as at 31 December 2017, the Company had cash and bank balance of approximately RMB15.60 million, of which approximately RMB7.88 million is unutilized proceeds from the issue of 92,000,000 new H Shares completed on 15 December 2016 as detailed in the announcement of the Company dated the same day, which shall be used in accordance with the use of proceeds so disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 21 August 2016 and the balance of approximately RMB7.72 million is to be used for general working capital of the Group.
The Company has considered alternatives for the Group to raise funds other than through the issue of the New Domestic Shares, including but not limited to, debt financing and equity financing. Regarding debt financing, the Directors are of the view that debt financing will inevitably incur additional finance costs to the Group, which may have adverse impacts on the financial performance of the Group. The Company has approached not less than five banks for bank financing but none of them proceeded further as the Company was not able to offer acceptable securities. On the other hand, pre-emptive issues (such as rights issue and open offer) usually will incur higher costs, which include underwriting commissions, documentation preparation costs and professional fees. Furthermore, having considered that issue of new H Shares requires the approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the timing of its approval is uncertain, whereas the issue of new Domestic Shares requires the approval of the Department of Commerce of Shaanxi Province* (陝西省商務廳) which in general will take less than 30 days, the Company has considered but decided not to issue H Shares. Given the liquidity of the Shares and loss-making track record of the Group, it would be difficult for the Company to identify potential underwriter or placing agent as the Company understands that liquidity is one of the major factors that investors will commonly consider in making investment decisions. The Company hence did not consider pre-emptive issues to be desirable alternatives to the issue of the New Domestic Shares.
Having considered the foregoing reasons for and benefits of the issue of the New Domestic Shares, the Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors who will form their view after taking into consideration of the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser) are of the view that the terms of the Subscription Agreements are fair and reasonable, and the Subscription Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including the issue of the New Domestic Shares) are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS CONDITIONAL SUBSCRIPTION OF NEW DOMESTIC SHARES BY THE SUBSCRIBERS BEING A CONNECTED PERSON
INTRODUCTION
We refer to our engagement as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Subscription Agreements 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 of the Company dated 2 February 2018 to the Shareholders (the “ Circular ”), of which this letter forms part. Terms used herein have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular unless otherwise stated.
Reference is made to the announcement dated 10 October 2017, the Company and the Subscribers entered into the Subscription Agreements, pursuant to which the Company has conditionally agreed to allot and issue, and the Subscribers have conditionally agreed to subscribe for an aggregate of 200,000,000 New Domestic Shares at an aggregate cash consideration of RMB42,000,000 (being RMB0.21 per New Domestic Share). The New Domestic Shares represent (i) approximately 22.59% of the total issued Domestic Shares as at the Last Trading Day; (ii) approximately 13.06% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Last Trading Day; (iii) approximately 18.43% of the total issued Domestic Shares as enlarged by the issue of the New Domestic Shares; and (iv) approximately 11.55% of the total issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the New Domestic Shares.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Subscriber, Mr. Xiao, is an executive Director of the Company and therefore a connected person of the Company.

The Independent Board Committee, comprising all of the independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Zhang Jun, Professor Shi Ping, Mr. Tu Jijun, and Dr. Lam Lee G., has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders on (i) whether the terms of the Subscription Agreements are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; (ii) whether the Subscription by the Connected Subscribers is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; and (iii) how the Independent Shareholders should vote in respect of the resolution(s) to approve the Subscription and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the Class Meetings and EGM.

In the last two years, Donvex Capital Limited has not acted as an independent financial adviser to the then Independent Board Committee and Independent Shareholders of the Company for any transaction.
We are independent from and not connected with the Group pursuant to Rule 17.96 of the GEM Listing Rules and, accordingly, are qualified to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Subscription Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

We have assumed that all statements, information, opinions and representations contained or referred to in the Circular, which have been provided by the Directors and management of the Company and for which they are solely and wholly responsible, were true and accurate at the time they were made and continue to be true until the date of the Class Meetings and EGM.
The Directors have collectively and individually accepted full responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in the Circular and have confirmed, having made all reasonable enquiries, which to the best of their knowledge and belief, that the information contained in the Circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no material facts and representations the omission of which would make any statement in the Circular or the Circular misleading.

LETTER FROM DONVEX CAPITAL
We consider that we have reviewed sufficient information to reach an informed view regarding the Subscription, and to justify reliance on the accuracy of the information contained in the Circular and to provide a reasonable basis for our recommendation. We have not, however, for the purpose of this exercise, conducted any form of independent in-depth investigation or audit into the businesses or affairs or future prospects of the Group, nor have we considered the taxation implication on the Group.
Our opinion is based on the financial, economic, market, and other conditions in effect and the information made available to us as at the Latest Practicable Date. Shareholders should note that subsequent developments (including any material change in market and economic conditions) may affect and/or change our opinion, and we have no obligation to update this opinion to take into account events occurring after the Latest Practicable Date or to update, revise, or reaffirm our opinion. In addition, nothing contained in this letter should be construed as a recommendation to hold, sell, or buy any Shares or any other securities of the Company.
This letter is issued for the information for the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders solely in connection with their consideration of the Subscription, and, except for its inclusion in the Circular, is not to be quoted or referred to, in whole or in part, nor shall this letter be used for any other purpose, without our prior written consent.
PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED
1. Background of and reasons for the Subscription by the Connected Subscribers
(1) Information on the Group
The Group develops, manufactures, and sells antennas, unmanned aerial products, and underwater surveillance equipment in the PRC. In addition, the Group is also engaged in the sales of construction related products. The Group has established processing centers in Xi’an to provide full range processing services on antennas, underwater surveillance equipment, and related products.
The table below sets forth a summary of the consolidated financial information of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2017 (the “ 2017 Interim Report ”) and the two years ended 31 December 2015 and 2016 (the “ 2016 Annual Report ”) as extracted from the Company’s 2017 Interim Report and 2016 Annual Report respectively:

| Cash and cash equivalents | 22,427 | 36,269 | 30,977 |
| Net assets | 76,460 | 84,434 | 73,436 |
According to the 2016 Annual Report, the revenue of the Group increased from RMB23.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2015 to RMB36.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2016, mainly due to the growth of the sales of construction related products. The loss of the Group increased from RMB21.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2015 to RMB37.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2016, mainly attributable to the decrease in the gross profit and increase in the impairment loss of trade receivables for the segments of antenna products and underwater surveillance. The Directors advised us that the trade receivables aforementioned had been overdue for at least one year and, regardless of the demand for payment from the Group, the recoverable amount was still very low. As such, the Group recognized full amount of impairment loss on these trade receivables. With reference to 2017 Interim Report, several legal cases were carried out by the Company against customers for outstanding trading debts as at 30 June 2017.
As at 30 June 2017, the Group recorded net assets and cash and cash equivalents RMB76.5 million and RMB22.4 million respectively. We noted that cash and cash equivalents represented a substantial decrease as at 30 June 2017 as compared to that as at 31 December 2016. The decrease was mainly attributable to the increase in the net cash used in operating activities and the repayment of borrowings.
Of all the cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2017, approximately RMB11.5 million will be used as general working capital for the expansion of overseas markets and imports of raw and auxiliary materials, as announced by the Company on 21 August 2016. The remaining cash and cash equivalents amounted to approximately RMB10.9 million will be paid for the working capital of the Group including but not limited to research and development, production, marketing, and general working expenses of business development mentioned under the paragraph headed “Use of proceeds”.
With reference to the 2017 Interim Report, the Group recorded revenue of RMB26.0 million and a net loss of RMB8.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2017, which was mainly attributable to the low profit margin and high general administrative costs.

LETTER FROM DONVEX CAPITAL
We note that the Company prepared capital budgets in accordance with the business plans and the estimation on funding requirements of different segments. Considering the expenses on the research and development activities, the manufacturing costs, and the marketing expenses in three respective segments, the Company allocated the budgets of RMB30.0 million, RMB10.0 million, and RMB1.0 million to segments of antennas, unmanned aerial products, and underwater surveillance equipment respectively.
(4) Business plan of the Group
Antenna
The civil antennas businesses contributed revenue of approximately RMB1.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2017, representing a decrease of 15.6% from the corresponding period in year 2016.
Due to the increasing demand in the stability of network operations, the Company is gradually switching from the civil antennas businesses to WIFI hot coverage and 5G antennas businesses, concentrating on high-end wireless products.
With the sufficient investment in the research and development activities in previous years, the Company has now been developing new antennas which are more energy-saving and can increase the capacity and speed for wireless communication in practical use. While some of the products have been substantially finalized and will be gradually put into market after pilot launch, the other new antennas are still under functional testing. It is expected that costs on the functional testing to be incurred would be approximately RMB15.5 million immediately after the Latest Practicable Date. The Company will promote the new products to the target markets such as the corporations in aviation industry and fire services industry, which would incur marketing expense of approximately RMB3.0 million immediately after the Latest Practicable Date.
Unmanned aerial products
Products under unmanned aerial products are currently divided into large-loaded UAV and multi-axis rotor UAV.
For multi-axis rotor UAV, the Company has already completed research and development of industrial UAV and promoted the products since December 2016, and the Company is still a major supplier of such products to the major cities in Shaanxi Province by far. For the six months ended 30 June 2017, the multi-axis rotor UAV contributed revenue of approximately RMB0.8 million.
For large-loaded UAV, despite that there was no revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2017, the Company has completed the establishment of aircraft flight control system and will perform flight tests and functional testing. According to the timeline for using the proceeds mentioned under the paragraph headed “Use of proceeds”, it is expected that the costs on the debugging of the system and the execution of tests to be incurred would be RMB6.0

LETTER FROM DONVEX CAPITAL
million immediately after the Latest Practicable Date. The Company estimated that the largeloaded UAV would pass the flight tests and functional testing in year 2018, and the products would be launched worldwide via the Company’s subsidiary in Hong Kong thereafter, generating marketing expenses of approximately RMB0.5 million immediately after the Latest Practicable Date.
Underwater surveillance equipment
In the coming years, the Company will focus on the research and development of the new underwater camera equipment, camera platform equipment, information accessing equipment, waterproof technical equipment, and other products. The Company is now optimizing the models, and the estimated costs of optimization would be approximately RMB0.3 million immediately after the Latest Practicable Date. After the optimization, the Company would promote the products to scientific institutions, and would generate marketing expenses of approximately RMB0.2 million immediately after the Latest Practicable Date.
(5) Financial alternatives available to the Group
The Company has not conducted any equity fund raising activities in the past twelve months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
Debt Financing
The Directors have considered financing alternatives such as debt financing. The Directors advised us that the debt financing may not be feasible for the Group for the following reasons:
-
(i) debt financing may further incur financial costs and increase the interest burden for the Group;
-
(ii) the Group concentrated on the research and development activities of high-end wireless products, UAV, underwater surveillance equipment, and the relevant products will be launched into the market in June 2018 at the earliest. The Group may be unfeasible to obtain any bank borrowings due to the consistent loss position of the Group; and
-
(iii) the Group’s financial risk would increase due to the increase in the leverage of the Group and the consistent loss-making performance.
Rights issue and open offer
We note that rights issue and open offer will give an opportunity to all Shareholders to participate in the subscription of new Shares to be issued by the Company. However, the Directors advised us that it is not feasible for the Company to carry out the rights issue and open offer for the following reasons:
- 28 -

The Directors consider that the Review Period from October 2016 to October 2017 (up to and including the Last Trading Day) is reasonable and meaningful so as to show the trading liquidity of the Shares. As illustrated in the table above, the average daily trading volume of the Shares during the Review Period was thin. Save for October 2016, the volume of Shares traded during the entire Review Period was below 2.00% of the total number of issued Shares as at the end of the month/period. It means the trading of the Shares is not considered as active.

(ii) due to the existing loss position of the Company, the Company encountered difficulties in finding an independent underwriter in Hong Kong which is interested in fully underwriting rights issue and open offer of the Company for raising the proposed amount of funds. Additionally, it would incur additional costs in underwriting commissions.
-
(iii) the rights issue and open offer involves a relatively longer time for completion. The Directors planned to pay approximately RMB32.7 million, or 77.86% of the aggregate gross proceeds, for the working capital of the Group including but not limited to research and development, production, marketing, and general working expenses of the products mentioned under the paragraph headed “Use of proceeds” in 2018. Due to (a) the insufficient cash and cash equivalents of the Group as at 30 June 2017 for the working capital; (b) the consistent loss position of the Company; and (c) longer time to complete the rights issue and open offer, the Directors are of the view that the rights issue and open offer may lead to the failure to finance the business development or future payment commitment in a timely manner.
-
(iv) issue of new H Shares requires the approval of China Securities Regulatory Commission and the timing of its approval is uncertain. The uncertainty may consequently affect the Company’s strategy implementation on a timely basis. On the other hand, the issue of New Domestic Shares requires the approval of the Department of Commerce of Shaanxi Province, which will take less than 30 days in general.
Placement
Regarding the viability of placement of new Shares in Hong Kong to independent investors, the Director advised us that, since the Group continued to record loss for two years after having several equity fund raising activities carried out in the last two years immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date, the independent investors may find the placement of new Shares less attractive. In addition, in consideration of the thin trading volume of the Shares during last twelve months, the Directors consider that it may be difficult to seek Independent Third Parties to subscribe new shares with acceptable placing fee and on fully underwritten basis.
Taking into account the above, in particular, (i) the difficulties for the Company to secure loan facility from financial institutions at favorable financing terms given its consistent loss-making performance; (ii) the difficulties for the Company to procure underwriter(s) for the pre-emptive issues, or even if such an independent underwriter was identified, the rights issue and open offer would possibly incur additional underwriting commission and take longer time to complete; and (iii) uncertain timing on the issue of new H Shares, we concur with the Director’s view that the Subscription is more appropriate as compared to other alternative fund raising methods as stated above for the Group.

LETTER FROM DONVEX CAPITAL
(6) Reasons for and benefits of the Subscription by the Connected Subscribers
The Company is a PRC based company and has been listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since October 2003. The Group develops, manufactures, and sells antennas, unmanned aerial products, and underwater surveillance equipment. The Group has established processing centers in Xi’an to provide full range processing services on antennas, underwater surveillance equipment, and related products.
As advised by the Directors, the Company will continue to require funds to invest in the research and development activities of antennas, unmanned aerial products, and underwater surveillance equipment. With reference to our discussion with the management of the Company and the information in respect of the use of proceeds, we note that the Company is gradually switching from the civil antennas businesses to WIFI antennas and 5G antennas businesses, concentrating on high-end wireless products to cope with the increasing demand in the stability of network operations. We also note that the large-loaded UAV is still under the research and development stage and has not been launched into the market. Having considered other fund raising alternatives mentioned under the paragraph headed “Financial alternatives available to the Group”, the Directors advised us that the Subscription could help to fulfill the on-going capital expenditure needs of the Company to capture potential business opportunities and thus further expand the Company’s business.
In addition, we are of the view that the Subscription will provide an incentive to maintain ongoing relationships with the Connected Subscribers, as Mr. Xiao and Mr. Chen, the executive Directors of the Company and the key support for the business expansion of the Company, will continue to contribute significant business experience to the Company. Another benefit from the Subscription is that Mr. Xiao and Mr. Chen continue to provide their financial support to the Company when the Company is currently facing financial difficulties. We consider that the Subscription will be beneficial to the long-term growth and development of the Group.
Having considered that (i) the majority of the proceeds from the Subscription will be utilised for funding the development and operating costs of new models mentioned under the paragraph headed “Use of proceeds” above; (ii) the Subscription will enable the Group to capture potential business opportunities and thus further expand the Company’s business; and (iii) the Subscription is the most appropriate fund raising method currently available to the Group as explained under the paragraph headed “Financial alternatives available to the Group” above, we are of the view that the reasons for the Subscription by the Connected Subscribers are justifiable and fair and reasonable, and the Subscription is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

-

LETTER FROM DONVEX CAPITAL
As advised by the Directors, the Subscription Price was determined with reference to the net assets value of the Company as at 30 June 2017 of RMB0.04807 per Share, the financial performance, and the non-listing status of the Domestic Shares. The Domestic Shares are not listed and hence the fair value is not available. Having considered the premium over the net assets value of the Company, the benefits of the issue of Domestic Shares, and the available alternatives for the fund raising, the Directors are of the view that the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable.
To further assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, we set out the following analysis for illustrative purposes:
(1) Review of H Share price
The chart below demonstrates the daily closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange during the period commencing from 11 October 2016 up to and including the Last Trading Day (the “ Review Period ”), being approximately one year period prior to and including the Last Trading Day.

As shown by the above table, during the period from 11 October 2016 to 26 May 2017, the closing price of the Shares fluctuated in a range of between HK$1.290 and HK$1.790. Since 29 May 2017, the closing prices of the Shares were on an upward trend and reached HK$7.400 per Share on the Last Trading Day. The reason for the upward trend of the closing price of the Shares was unknown to us since:
-
(i) the Directors were not aware of any reasons leading to the fluctuation of the Share prices during the period from 29 May 2017 to the Last Trading Day;
-
33 -
LETTER FROM DONVEX CAPITAL
-
(ii) we have reviewed all the announcements disclosed between 29 May 2017 and the Last Trading Day, and we were not aware of any information which led to abrupt rises of the share prices during the aforementioned period; and
-
(iii) the changes in closing prices were not supported by the financial performance of the Group in view that the Group continued to record losses during the Review Period.
However, given that the Domestic Shares are not listed and tradable on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, setting the Subscription Price at a deep discount to the market price of the H Shares could encourage more interests for the Subscribers to participate in the Subscription. As such, we are of the view that it is fair and reasonable to set the Subscription Price of RMB0.21 per Share.
(2) Market comparison with other share subscription exercises
As part of our analysis to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Subscription, we have identified an exhaustive list of 6 transactions (the “ Market Comparables ”) based on the following criteria: (i) subscription of new domestic shares by companies listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange during the twelve-month period from 11 October 2016 up to the date of the Subscription Agreements and had proceeded to completion on or before the date of the Subscription Agreements; and (ii) share subscription transactions by connected person(s).
We consider that a review period of twelve months prior and up to the date of the Subscription Agreements is appropriate to capture the recent market practice given that such period is sufficiently recent to demonstrate the prevailing market practices prior to and including the Last Trading Day. Despite the differences of the business nature, market capitalization, financial performance, financial positions, and use of proceeds between the Company and the Market Comparables, the Market Comparables could provide a general reference for the recent common market practice of listed companies in the subscription of new domestic shares. As such, we are of the view that such exhaustive list of Market Comparables is a sufficient and representative sample to be taken as a general reference of the recent market practices in relation to subscription of New Domestic Shares.

As shown by the table above, the subscription prices of the Market Comparables ranged from:
-
(i) a discount of approximately 6.65% to a premium of approximately 270.91% to/over the respective net asset value attributable to owners of the company as at the date of announcement per share (the “ NAV per share ”), with an average of a premium of approximately 82.68%; and
-
(ii) a discount of approximately 24.75% to a premium of approximately 27.62% to/over the respective closing price per H share price as at the date of announcement, with an average of a premium of approximately 2.16%.
-
35 -
LETTER FROM DONVEX CAPITAL
Despite that the Company’s discount of the Subscription Price to the closing price per H share as at the date of announcement is far below the range of the premium/discount of the Market Comparables, the Subscription Price is considered fair and reasonable after taking into account the following:
-
(i) the Domestic Shares are not listed and there is no publicly available trading price. Hence, it is unnecessary to evaluate the discount of the Subscription Price to the closing price per H Share as at the date of the announcement; and
-
(ii) as the Company cannot raise funds through other alternatives stated under the section “Financial alternatives available to the Group”, it can only raise funds for research and development, manufacture, and marketing and general working capital by issuing new Domestic Shares. It is reasonable to set the Subscription Price at a deep discount to the H Share price in order to attract Subscribers to raise funding to capture such opportunity.
Taking into account (i) the use of proceeds; (ii) the fund raising alternatives; (iii) the liquidity of the Domestic Shares; and (iv) the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, we are of the view that the terms of the Subscription Agreements are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
(3) Alternative methods to evaluate the Subscription Price
Alternative methods have not been used to evaluate the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price for the following reasons:
-
(i) as the Domestic Shares are merely subscribed by the respective Subscribers, the Subscription Price could be arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Subscribers;
-
(ii) we concurred with the Directors’ view that a subscription price at a level of premium to the net asset value of the Company as at 30 June 2017 was considered to be a key factor of the Company in determining the Subscription Price; and
-
(iii) we noted that the Subscription Price represented a premium over the unaudited net asset value as at 30 June 2017 per Share, as depicted in the section headed “Evaluation of the Subscription Price”.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the view that it is unnecessary to use alternative methods to evaluate the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price.

4. Dilution effect on the shareholding interests of the existing public Shareholders
As depicted by the table under the section headed “Effects on the Shareholding Structure of the Company as a result of the issue of the New Domestic Shares” of the Letter from the Board, upon completion of the Subscription (including the Subscription by the Connected Subscribers), the shareholding interests of the existing public Shareholders would be diluted by approximately 1.10%. Nonetheless, in view of (i) the reasons for the Subscription by the Connected Subscribers and the possible benefits to be brought into the Company, details of which are set out under the section headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Subscription by the Connected Subscribers” of this letter; and (ii) the terms of the Subscription Agreements being fair and reasonable, we are of the view that the aforementioned level of dilution to the shareholding interests of the existing public Shareholders is acceptable.
5. Financial effects of the Subscription
Working capital
With reference to the 2017 Interim Report, the unaudited consolidated current assets and consolidated current liabilities of the Group were approximately RMB69.9 million and RMB23.4 million respectively as at 30 June 2017, resulting in a current ratio (defined as current assets divided by current liabilities) of approximately 2.99 times.
Given that the Subscription will provide the net working capital of approximately RMB41.0 million to the Group upon completion, it is expected that both the cash position and the net current assets position of the Group will be enhanced immediately upon completion.
Gearing ratio
The gearing ratio of the Group is measured as bank borrowings over the total assets of the Group. As advised by the Directors, it is expected that, upon the issue of the new shares under the Subscription, the Group’s total assets will increase by the amount of the net proceeds received thereunder, while the Group’s liabilities will not be affected. Accordingly, it is expected that the gearing ratio of the Group would be improved immediately upon the issue of the New Domestic Shares under the Subscription.
In view of above, we consider that the Subscription is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.
RECOMMENDATION
Having taken into consideration the factors and reasons as stated above, we are of the opinion that (i) the terms of the Subscription Agreements are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; (ii) the connected transaction is on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company; and (iii) the Subscription by the Connected Subscribers is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM DONVEX CAPITAL
Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) to be proposed at the Class Meeting and the EGM to approve the Subscription by the Connected Subscribers and the transactions contemplated thereunder and we recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) in this regard.
Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Donvex Capital Limited Doris Sy Director
