CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED

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

3. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

SYSCAN Manufacturing was established by the Company as a wholly owned subsidiary to indirectly hold the entire interest in the Land Property through SYSCAN Optoelectronics, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SYSCAN Manufacturing. On 30 October 2007, the Company and SYSCAN Manufacturing entered into a share transfer agreement with Rise Billion pursuant to which the Company sold a 55% interest in SYSCAN Manufacturing to Rise Billion at a consideration of RMB126,500,000. SYSCAN Manufacturing ceased to be a subsidiary and became an associate of the Company in December 2007.

Both SYSCAN Manufacturing and SYSCAN Optoelectronics have not carried out any business activities other than property holding (in respect of SYSCAN Optoelectronics only) since their incorporation. As at the Latest Practicable Date, save and except the existing buildings erected thereon, the Land Property was idle and not being used by the Group. Please refer to “Appendix III – Valuation Report” for further details for the current occupancy status of the existing buildings. As such, the Disposal will not have any negative impact on the continuous operations of the Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

According to the share transfer agreement dated 30 October 2007 between the Company and Rise Billion in connection with the Group’s disposal of 55% shareholding interest in SYSCAN Manufacturing, the Group waived or set off all inter-company balances with SYSCAN Manufacturing and SYSCAN Optoelectronics which resulted in a gain for SYSCAN Manufacturing for the year ended 31 December 2007. No such gain was recorded for SYSCAN Manufacturing for the year ended 31 December 2008 and the losses represented the operating expenses incurred by SYSCAN Optoelectronics during that year.

Upon Completion, SYSCAN Manufacturing will cease to be an associate of the Company.

7. FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL

It is estimated that, upon Completion, the Group will record a profit from the Disposal of approximately HK$1,447,000 which will be recorded in the consolidated profit and loss accounts of the Group for the year ending 31 December 2010. The profit on the Disposal is calculated based on (i) the net proceeds of the Disposal of approximately HK$101,519,000; and (ii) the cost of assets to be disposed by the Group of approximately HK$100,072,000. Based on the Group’s unaudited pro forma statement of financial position illustrating the effect of the Disposal as if the Disposal had taken place on 30 June 2009, the Disposal would result in an increase of the total assets of the Group of approximately HK$3,172,000 and an increase in the total liabilities of the Group of approximately HK$1,725,000 subject to final audit.

8. INFORMATION ABOUT THE PURCHASER

The Purchaser is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability and is an investment holding company. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, and after making all reasonable enquiries, the Purchaser and its ultimate beneficial owners are Independent Third Parties and are not connected persons of the Company as defined under the GEM Listing Rules.

9. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the applicable percentage ratios as defined in the GEM Listing Rules are more than 25% but less than 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction of the Company under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the SGM to be convened. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, and after making all reasonable enquiries, the Purchaser does not hold any Shares and none of the Shareholders is required to abstain from voting for the resolution(s) to approve the Share Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the SGM.

The notice of SGM is set out on pages 42 to 43 of this circular. At the SGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed for the approval by the Shareholders of the Disposal. The votes to be taken at the SGM in respect of the ordinary resolution to approve the Disposal will be taken by poll and the results of which will be announced after the SGM.

Basis of opinion

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Investment Circular Reporting Engagements (HKSIR) 300 “Accountants’ Reports on Pro Forma Financial Information in Investment Circulars” issued by the HKICPA. Our work consisted primarily of comparing the unadjusted financial information with source documents, considering the evidence supporting the adjustments and discussing the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information with the directors of the Company.

Our work did not constitute an audit or review made in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing or Hong Kong Standards on Review Engagements issued by the HKICPA, and accordingly, we did not express any such assurance on the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information is for illustrative purpose only, based on the judgements and assumptions of the directors of the Company, and, because of its hypothetical nature, does not provide any assurance or indication that any event will take place in the future and may not be indicative of:

  • the financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2009 or any future date; or

  • the results and cash flows of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2008 or any future period.

Unit C, 21/F., Seabright Plaza, 9-23 Shell Street, North Point, Hong Kong.

Date: 29 January 2010

Dear Sir/Madam,

  • RE: Valuation of SYSCAN Industrial Park Erected on Site No. A724-0014, Shuitian Village, Shiyan Town, Bao’an District, Shenzhen Shi, Guangdong Province, the People’s Republic of China

In accordance with the instruction from SYSCAN Technology Holdings Limited (“the Company”) for us to value the property interest held by 深圳矽感光電有限公司 (SYSCAN Optoelectronic Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Limited)* located in the People’s Republic of China (“the PRC’), we confirm that we have carried out inspection, made relevant enquiries and investigations, and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of the property interests as at 8 December 2009 (“the valuation date”). We are also instructed to advise any variance of our valuation on the same basis as at 31 December 2009 which is indicated in our attached Notes No. 7.

Our valuation is our opinion of the market value which we would define as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which a property 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”.

In valuing the property interests of similar nature, in particular located in the PRC, we have normally adopted a combination of the market and depreciated replacement cost approach (“DRC”) in assessing the land portion of the property, and the buildings and structures standing on the land respectively. Hence, the sum of the two results represents the market value of the property as a whole.

  • For identification purpose only

APPENDIX III

VALUATION REPORT

In the valuation of the land portion, reference has been made to the sales evidence as available to us in the neighbourhood, and the standard land price in similar locations of Shenzhen.

In the valuation of the building portion, while we are applying the DRC approach, we identified a portion which is presently subject to a third party lease. We have valued the property interests in respect of Factory C by income method by which the amount of rent payable on the valuation date was capitalized for the residual period of the tenancy with due allowance for reversionary interest of this portion after expiry of the existing tenancy. Capitalization of full market rent or market value would be applied after the current lease expires. The comparison method is also adopted to obtain the full market rental values.

In the valuation of the buildings and structures on DRC approach, we were advised that the real estate title certificates have not been issued by the related Real Estate Administrative Bureau. In the absence of further information, we accordingly do not take into account the value of the buildings and structures, which were existing on site at the time of our inspection.

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the owner sells the property in the open market in its existing state without the benefit of deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement which would serve to increase the value of the property. In addition, we do not take into account any option, or right of pre-emption concerning or affecting the sale of the property and the possibility of forced sale situation in our valuation.

In valuing the land portion, we have assumed that the owner has free and uninterrupted right to use, occupy or assign the property interest for the whole of the unexpired term of the land use rights. Furthermore, we have also assumed that all consents, approvals and licences from the relevant PRC government authorities for development of the property interests were granted without onerous conditions or delay.

In the course of our valuation, we have not caused title searches to be made for the property interests at the relevant government bureau in the PRC. However, we have been provided with extracts of title documents relating to the property interests. We have not, however, searched the original documents to verify the ownership, encumbrances or existence of any subsequent amendments which do not appear on the copies handed to us. All documents have been used for reference only. All dimension, measurements, and areas included in the valuation certificate are based on information contained in the documents provided to us by the Company and therefore are only approximations.

We have relied to a very considerable extent on the information provided by the instructing party at the present and at our last valuation and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approval, statutory notice, easement, tenure, particulars of occupation, site and floor areas, and all other relevant matters which can affect the value of the property.

We have not carried out investigations on site to determine the suitability of ground conditions and services etc. for any future development, nor have we undertaken any ecological or environmental surveys. Our valuation is prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred during the construction period.

– 30 –

APPENDIX III

VALUATION REPORT

We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company. We were also advised by the Company that no material factors have been omitted from the information to reach an informed view, and have no reasons to suspect that any material information has been withheld.

We have relied on a copy of Real Estate Ownership Certificate (Document No. 05000050543) and Land Use Rights Contract in respect of the title and legal particulars of the property interests. However, no investigations have been made to verify or to ascertain the existence of any amendments, or departures which may not appear on the copies handed to us. In the absence of original documents to show the title of the property interests, we have been instructed to rely on this document and the information given by the instructing party regarding the title of the property. Meanwhile, we have relied on four copies of Legal Opinion dated 21 May 2006, 29 November 2007, 17 March 2009 and dated 28 January 2010 prepared by Guangdong Guang He Law Firm.

As per our last report, we made a site inspection on 2 March 2009 and no further inspection has been arranged for this report. The particulars of our last inspection were detailed in the attached valuation certificate, in respect of which we have been provided with such information as we have required for the purpose of our valuation.

No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amount owing on the property interest nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the interest is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect its value.

Unless otherwise states, all monetary figures stated in this report are in Renminbi (RMB).

In this valuation, we have complied with all the requirements contained in Chapter 8 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, and the HKIS Valuation Standards on the Properties (1st Edition) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors and effective from 1 January 2005.

Our valuation certificate is hereby enclosed.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Ascent Partners Transaction Service Limited Andy Wu Director FRICS FHKIS RPS

Note: Mr. Andy Wu is a chartered valuation surveyor, and a registered professional surveyor and has practised real estate valuation of properties in Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China for over 20 years.

The documents did not indicate the plot ratio, site coverage, and other development parameters. From a copy of the Construction Land Use Planning Permit, the indicative plot ratio is prescribed for 0.66. We have been advised by the instructing party that the plot ratio could be enlarged to 2.5. However, in the absence of documentary support for the increased plot ratio nor the details for the premium required for the modification, we take into account the original plot ratio of 0.66 in arriving at our valuation.

Pursuant to the Real Estate Ownership Certificate, the property is restricted for transfer and mortgage.

As per the construction completion acceptance permits, the structures were completed in 2002. While inspection, we also identified the following construction works which had ceased.

Recent enquiry showed that the works have not restored:

  • A 4 storey industrial block with completed building frame and

  • A site which is designed for another industrial block with some uncompleted foundation works and we were advised that the works also temporarily ceased.

Meanwhile, we also identified the following single storey structures close to Factory C and Office A as below:

APPENDIX III

VALUATION REPORT

  1. As per the updated Legal Opinion concerning the legal status of the property, some essentials of the title are summarized as below:

Status of Land

  • The current registered owner of the property is Shenzhen SYSCAN Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. The owner is under the concessionary grant, that is, the grant of land use right with concessionary land price or premium subject to certain restrictions including but not limited to restrictions of transfer and assignment. The restrictions would be removed if the owner pays back the price difference between the current market value of the property and the historical value of the property as of the granting of land use right.

  • There are no records showing any charges, or sealed order currently registered against the property.

Status of Building

The registration of title has not been completed for the buildings. Thus, the buildings would be subject to the restriction for transfer or disposal in the open market.

Since the buildings have been used and occupied for some time, the buildings probably have been awarded the completion acceptance permits and fire resistance acceptance permits. Securing these permits would allow the owner to mortgage and lease the properties.

Status of Lease

Leasing of the properties would need to comply with some stipulations such as settlement of land premium, receipt of completion acceptance permits and fire resistance permits, etc. Since the lease (details as shown in the above) has been registered, it is legally valid.

We have been recently updated that the existing legal and occupancy status remained unchanged at the time of this valuation.

  1. According to the title status of the property, we have assigned no commercial value to the property taking into account its restriction for free transfer, lease, and mortgage in the open market.

For indicative purposes and according to your instruction to provide our opinion of market value of the property on the assumption that the property is built to a plot ratio of 0.66, and free of further encumbrances, and could be freely assigned, transferred, mortgaged, and leased in the open market as at the date of the valuation was RMB210,000,000.00.

  1. The documentary support of the property is mainly sought from our information obtained from our last valuation and is summarized as below:
Real estate Ownership Certificate available
Land Use Right Grant Contract available
Land Planning Permit available
Completion Acceptance Permits advised available by Legal Opinion
Fire Resistance Acceptance Permits advised available by Legal Opinion
  1. As advised by the instruction party, the current property interest holder, 深圳矽感光電有限公司 (SYSCAN Optoelectronics Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd*) is 45% owned by the Company.

We have been recently updated that the existing title ownership status remained unchanged at the time of this valuation.

  1. We are further of the opinion that our valuation remained the same as at 31 December 2009.
