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
Consideration
The total consideration of HK$5,700,000 consists of:
-
(i) HK$1,000,000 which shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Vendor upon Completion;
-
(ii) HK$2,000,000 which shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Vendor within three (3) months upon Completion; and
-
(iii) HK$2,700,000 which shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Vendor within six (6) months upon Completion.
The total consideration of HK$5,700,000 has been arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the parties with reference to, amongst other things, (i) the unaudited consolidated pro forma net liabilities of SHL after taking into account the Previous Disposal and the pre-Completion adjustment for impairment of assets of SHL Group of approximately HK$70,171,000 as at 30 June 2011 as shown in the unaudited pro forma financial information of SHL; and (ii) the factors set out in the paragraph headed “Reasons for the Disposal” below.
Having considered the above and the factors set out in the paragraph headed “Reasons for the Disposal” below, the Directors consider that the terms of the Agreement and the Disposal are on normal terms, which are fair and reasonable, and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Conditions Precedent
Completion is conditional upon the fulfillment (or, where relevant, waiver) of the following conditions:
-
(i) the passing of ordinary resolution(s) by the Shareholders at the SGM to approve the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules and applicable laws and regulations, if necessary;
-
(ii) all necessary consents, authorisations, licences and approvals required to be obtained on the part of the Purchaser and the Vendor in respect of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder having been obtained;
-

– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Purchaser may in writing waive any of the conditions specified above (save and except for conditions (i) and (iv)) on or before the Long Stop Date. If all the conditions specified above have not been satisfied or waived by 12:00 noon on the Long Stop Date (or such later date to be agreed between the parties to the Agreement in writing), then the Agreement shall automatically terminate and be deemed void and of no effect without any of the parties being liable to any other party in any way and neither the Company nor the Purchaser shall be obliged to complete the Agreement.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the conditions precedent had been satisfied.
Completion
Completion shall take place within three Business Days after the date of fulfillment (or, where relevant, waiver) of the conditions above or such other date as the parties may mutually agree.
TECHNICAL SERVICE AGREEMENT
As announced by the Company in the Circular, the acquisition of Country Praise Enterprises Ltd. (“ CPE ”) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “ CPE Group ”) which is principally engaged in, amongst others, the development and operation of electronic payment tool, (the “ Acquisition ”) represented an excellent opportunity for the Group to deploy the application of the 2D barcode technology developed by SST to the fast-growing electronic payment service industry in the PRC. The application of the 2D barcode technology currently serves as a competitive advantage in the business of the Remaining Group as the 2D barcode technology can be applied as an effective means of authentication as well as an efficient, reliable and secure means of transmission and recording of transaction data in an electronic payment process. However, upon Completion, the Group shall cease to hold any interest in SHL, and SHL shall cease to be a subsidiary of the Company.
In order to ensure that the Remaining Group can continue to enjoy the business synergies brought about by the aforesaid 2D barcode technology, SST will enter into the Technical Service Agreement with the Company or its subsidiary before Completion. Pursuant to the Technical Service Agreement, SST shall provide to the Remaining Group for two years at nil consideration 2D barcode technical services which shall be applied solely to the Group’s third party payment business, including but not limited to the prepaid card business of the Company and its future development.
The management of the Company is of the view that upon the expiration of the Technical Service Agreement, the Company will reassess whether to renew the Technical Service Agreement or to adopt more advanced technology based on the market condition and technology development, and in the event that the Company decides to renew the Technical Service Agreement upon its expiration, the management of the Company perceives no difficulty in renewing the Technical Service Agreement after two years as it is expected that the business relationship between the Company and the Purchaser will be more solid and well-established during the two years of business cooperation under the Technical Service Agreement.
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Furthermore, the management of the Company is of the view that there will be no material impact resulting from the Disposal on the Remaining Group’s pre-paid card business. Before the Acquisition, the operational statistics of the CPE Group, including but not limited to the number of prepaid cards sold, the sales of prepaid cards and the transaction amounts of prepaid cards, showed significant growth since August 2008 (being the date of the establishment of CPE Group’s first subsidiary) which demonstrated the prepaid card business of CPE Group is sound and viable even without the synergies brought by the 2D barcode technology.
INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
The Company is an investment holding company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in (i) the development and operation of electronic payment tool; (ii) the design, research, development, manufacturing and sale of optical image capturing devices and related barcode reader equipment; (iii) trading of computers and communication equipment; and (iv) the operation of a prepaid card business in the PRC including the issue of different kinds of prepaid cards, some of which being multi-functional.

GAIN ON THE DISPOSAL

Based on the unaudited consolidated pro forma net liabilities of SHL of approximately HK$70,171,000 (after taking into account of the Previous Disposal and the pre-Completion adjustment for the impairment of assets of SHL Group) as at 30 June 2011, there is an expected gain of approximately HK$44,078,000 from the Disposal which is calculated with reference to the consideration of HK$5,700,000, the unaudited consolidated pro forma net liabilities of SHL of approximately HK$70,171,000 (after taking into account of the Previous Disposal and the pre-Completion adjustment for the impairment of assets of SHL Group), the Sale Loan of approximately HK$36,316,000, the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the Disposal of approximately HK$2,000,000 and the release of foreign currency translation reserves of approximately HK$6,523,000. The exact amount of gain from the Disposal will be calculated on the basis of the relevant figures as at the date of Completion and therefore will be different from the above amount. It is expected that the gain from the Disposal will be reflected in the consolidated accounts of the Group for the year ending 31 December 2011.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REASONS FOR THE DISPOSAL
The reasons for the Disposal are as follows:
(i) Financial position of SHL
SHL has unaudited consolidated pro forma net liabilities of approximately HK$70,171,000 (after taking into account of the Previous Disposal and the pre-Completion adjustment for the impairment of assets of SHL Group) as at 30 June 2011. In addition, for the two years ended 31 December 2010, SHL suffered an unaudited consolidated net loss after tax of approximately HK$44,071,000 and HK$73,536,000 respectively. For the six months ended 30 June 2011, SHL suffered an unaudited consolidated net loss after tax of approximately HK$27,628,000. Disposing SHL will help the Group to dispose of a loss-making subsidiary.
(ii) Re-allocation of resources
As mentioned in its 2010 annual report and 2011 interim report, which were published after the date of the Circular, the Group would carefully assess and differentiate the performances of its various business lines. For those loss-making or less profit-making lines, the Group would review the situations and come up with appropriate remedial actions so as to strike for the most benefits to the Shareholders. The Group was also cautious towards its future business plan and would concentrate on the profitable businesses in order to establish a stable revenue stream and achieve profitable results for the Group. Given the fact that business carried out by SHL and its subsidiaries had recorded an unaudited consolidated net losses after tax of approximately HK$44,071,000 and HK$73,536,000 respectively for the two years ended 31 December 2010 and an unaudited consolidated net loss after tax of approximately HK$27,628,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2011, the management of the Company considers the Disposal as an appropriate remedial action to stop the Company from further loss-making.
Upon Completion, the principal activities of Remaining Group consist of (i) the development and operation of electronic payment tools; (ii) the trading of computers and communication equipment; and (iii) the operation of a prepaid card business in the PRC including the issue of different kinds of prepaid cards, some of which being multi-functional. Based on the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group as at 30 June 2011, the CPE Group had recorded an unaudited consolidated turnover and a net profit of approximately HK$52.7 million and HK$3.69 million respectively. As SST shall provide 2D barcode technical services to the Remaining Group under the Technical Service Agreement, the management of the Company believes that the Disposal could enable the Group to reallocate its resources from a loss-making business to the fast-growing third party payment service business in the PRC.
– 12 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
It is the intention of the management of the Company that the Company will continue its remaining business upon Completion. The Directors confirmed that the Company has not entered into, and will not enter into, any agreement, arrangement, understanding or negotiation to dispose or discontinue its existing business after Completion.
(iii) Removal of qualified audit opinion
The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2010 were qualified solely due to the limitation of audit scope arising from the financial information of SHL Group. As such, the Disposal will be a step towards the removal of the qualified audit opinion of the Company.
The Disposal is determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Purchaser. Taking into account of the above reasons, the Directors are of the view that the Disposal represents an opportunity to streamline the Group’s business and re-allocate management resources after the Disposal to other business segments which may have better growth potential.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Group intends to utilize the proceeds of HK$5,700,000 from the Disposal for the general working capital of the Remaining Group.
FINANCIAL EFFECTS ON ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group as set out in Appendix III to this circular, the Group’s total assets would decrease by approximately HK$274,489,000 from approximately HK$1,636,552,000 to approximately HK$1,362,063,000 and the Group’s total liabilities would decrease by approximately HK$265,915,000 from approximately HK$1,292,471,000 to approximately HK$1,026,556,000 as if the Disposal had been completed on 30 June 2011.
FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE REMAINING GROUP
Upon Completion, the Remaining Group is principally engaged in, amongst others, the development and operation of electronic payment tools, including the distribution and acceptance of the prepaid card, payment making via the internet and mobile phone network in the newly electronic payment process for provision of a safe and convenient payment platform for the community of the widely electronic business trading activities. Third party payment business is one of the most rapidly developing emerging industries in the recent years in the PRC. The Directors consider this is a very profitable business channel and provides tremendous opportunities available in the market of the foreseeable future. The Remaining Group will further expand the operation and sales network of its electronic payment services across the PRC, aiming to build up a consolidated multi-channel payment platform in the PRC.
– 13 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
As mentioned in the paragraph headed “Reasons for the Disposal” above, the management of the Company considers the Disposal as an appropriate remedial action to stop the Company from further loss-making and the Directors are of the view that the Disposal represents an opportunity to streamline the business and re-allocate management resources to other business segments which may have better growth potential. It is expected that the Company will be a profit-making entity and will give the Shareholders a good return on investment in the future.
GEM LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
According to the 2011 interim report of the Company, the turnover attributable to the business of the Remaining Group was approximately HK$52.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2011 which accounted for approximately 53.0% of the Group’s total turnover for the six months ended 30 June 2011. Furthermore, according to the Circular and the announcements made by the Company dated 22 July 2011 and 23 October 2011, the prepaid card business during the two periods from 1 October 2010 to 31 March 2011 and from 1 April 2011 to 30 September 2011 achieved the targets as specified in the paragraph headed “adjusted consideration scenario 1” and “adjusted consideration scenario 2” accordingly in the Circular which included (a) the monetary amounts of prepaid cards issued by CPE Group which exceeded RMB200,000,000 and RMB330,000,000 respectively; (b) the number of pre-paid cards issued by CPE Group which exceeded 185,000 and 380,000 respectively; and (c) the aggregate transaction amounts executed under the prepaid cards issued by CPE Group which exceeded RMB135,000,000 and RMB250,000,000 respectively. Accordingly, the Directors are of the view that the Remaining Group will have sufficient operations upon the Disposal as required under Rule 17.26 of the GEM Listing Rules.
Upon Completion, the principal activities of the Remaining Group consist of (i) the development and operation of electronic payment tools; (ii) the trading of computers and communication equipment; and (iii) the operation of a prepaid card business in the PRC including the issue of different kinds of prepaid cards, some of which being multi-functional. Based on the unaudited management accounts of the Remaining Group as at 30 June 2011, after taking into account of the Previous Disposal and the Disposal, the percentages of cash balances of approximately HK$155.6 million to the total assets of approximately HK$1,362.1 million and to the net assets of approximately HK$334.6 million of the Remaining Group for the six months ended 30 June 2011 were only approximately 11.4% and 46.5% respectively. Accordingly, the Board believes that the Company is not a cash company according to the provision of Rule 19.82 of the GEM Listing Rules.
As one of the applicable percentage ratios as defined under Rule 19.07 of the GEM Listing Rules in respect of the Disposal exceeds 75%, the Disposal constitutes a very substantial disposal for the Company under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules, and is therefore subject to the requirements of reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval. To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors and having made all reasonable enquiries, neither the Purchaser nor its ultimate beneficial owners hold any Shares and no Shareholder has a material interest in the Disposal. Accordingly, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolution to approve the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the SGM.

Upon Completion, the Remaining Group consists of the Company, an investment holding company, and the Country Praise Enterprises Ltd. (“ CPE ”) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “ CPE Group ”), and is principally engaged in, amongst others, the development and operation of electronic payment tools. As the acquisition of the CPE Group was completed on 28 February 2011, we hereby set out below the management discussion and analysis of the Remaining Group for the period from 28 February 2010 to 30 June 2011 (the “ Relevant Period ”). The following financial information is based on the financial information of the Remaining Group as set out in Appendix III to this circular.
Business Review
The Remaining Group is principally engaged in (i) the development and operation of electronic payment tools; (ii) the trading of computers and communication equipment; and (iii) the operation of a prepaid card business in the PRC including the issue of different kinds of prepaid cards, some of which being multi-functional. Just after the completion of the acquisition of the CPE Group on 28 February 2011, the CPE Group started to contribute to the Remaining Group’s performance positively. Reference is made to the Circular and the announcements made by the Company dated 22 July 2011 and 23 October 2011, the prepaid card business during the two periods from 1 October 2010 to 31 March 2011, and from 1 April 2011 to 30 September 2011 achieved the targets as specified in paragraph headed “adjusted consideration scenario 1” and “adjusted consideration scenario 2” accordingly in the Circular which included (a) the monetary amounts of prepaid cards issued by CPE Group exceeded RMB200,000,000 and RMB330,000,000 respectively; (b) the number of pre-paid cards issued by CPE Group exceeded 185,000 and 380,000 respectively; and (c) the aggregate transaction amounts executed under the prepaid cards issued by CPE Group exceeded RMB135,000,000 and RMB250,000,000 respectively.

APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
The Remaining Group is also in the process of making an Application. With reference to the announcement dated 31 August 2011, the Application has successfully passed the documents initial vetting process and accordingly accepted by the operations office of the People’s Bank of China. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company was waiting for the result of the Application.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors were not aware of any circumstance that the Payment Service Rules would restrict the continued operation of foreign invested payment institutions, including the Company, which have already been carrying on payment services and under the process of the Application. To their best knowledge, information and belief, the Directors are not aware that those companies whose Application has been accepted and is being processed are required to suspend its payment business or the sales of new prepaid cards until the Certificate is granted. In addition, the operations office (營業管理部) of the People’s Bank of China did not require such suspension of the Company, whether at the time of the Company’s submission of the Application, at the Company’s subsequent passing of the documents initial vetting process or in the published notice of acknowledgement of receipt of the Company’s Application.
The Directors are of the view that the Company has met the strict requirements of the Application and has not been subject to any penalty for its business activities in providing or utilizing payment services in the past three years. In addition, before accepting the Application, the operations office of the People’s Bank of China had reviewed the documents submitted by the Company. The Company has passed the documents initial vetting process without being notified of any outstanding matters to be followed up. Therefore, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors were not aware of any material uncertainty which would preclude the Company from obtaining the Certificate.
However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining the Certificate in order to continue its provision of payment services in the PRC. In the event that the Company receives any negative feedback from the People’s Bank of China, it will be dealt with promptly and an announcement will be made as soon as practicable to inform the Shareholders and potential investors of the Company accordingly. In addition, increasing compliance standards in relation to permits, licences, approvals and/or certificates in general or change of interpretation of any existing laws or regulations will make it more restrictive for the Company to conduct any part of its business, which may adversely affect the Company’s operation and profitability.
As to the business segment of trading of computers and communication equipment, it accounts for a significant part of the Remaining Group’s total revenue as at the Latest Practicable Date and is expected to continue generating a stable revenue stream and achieving profitable results for the Remaining Group. The Remaining Group will further concentrate its resources on this profitable segment by leveraging its stable growth potential.

Dear Sirs,
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of SYSCAN Holdings Limited (“ SHL ”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “ SHL Group ”) as at 31 December 2008, 31 December 2009, 31 December 2010, and 30 June 2010 and 30 June 2011, and the related consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the years/periods then ended. This financial information, which has been prepared under the same accounting policies of China Innovationpay Group Limited (the “ Company ”), is the responsibility of the directors of the Company. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this financial information based on our review.
Scope of review
Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2400 “Engagements to Review Financial Statements” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. This Standard requires that we plan and perform the review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the financial information is free of material misstatement. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of personnel of the Company and analytical procedures applied to financial data and thus provide less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

1. Limitation of scope – disposal of associates
-
(i) As explained in note 31(b) to the Company’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2008, on 30 April 2008 (the “ Disposal Date ”), the SHL Group disposed of its 40% equity interests in an associate, 深圳旭感和誠信息技 術有限公司 (Shenzhen SYSCAN Hecheng Info-tech Co., Ltd., “ Shenzhen SYSCAN ”), to an independent third party (the “ Acquirer ”) in return for the Acquirer to assume the liability amount due from the SHL Group to Shenzhen SYSCAN of approximately HK$13,129,000, resulting in a loss on disposal of approximately HK$529,000 in the SHL Group’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income. We were not provided with sufficient and appropriate evidence, or were unable to carry out alternative audit procedures, on the value of the SHL Group’s share of net assets of Shenzhen SYSCAN, the amount due to Shenzhen SYSCAN as at the Disposal Date and the share of losses of Shenzhen SYSCAN of HK$Nil for the period ended the Disposal Date. Consequently, we were unable to satisfy ourselves as to whether the loss on disposal of approximately HK$529,000 arising thereon and the SHL Group’s share of Shenzhen SYSCAN’s profit or loss of HK$Nil for the period up to the Disposal Date were fairly stated. Any adjustments to the above figures might have a significant consequential effect on the results for the year ended 31 December 2008.

(ii) Assets classified as held for sale with carrying amount of approximately HK$99,488,000 included in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2009 represented the SHL Group’s 45% equity interest in a then associate, SYSCAN Manufacturing Limited, and its subsidiary (collectively referred to as “ SML Group ”). The SHL Group’s 45% equity interest in SML Group was disposed of during the year ended 31 December 2010 and the details of this transaction were disclosed in the Company’s circular dated 8 February 2010. Gain on disposal of associates of approximately HK$1,414,000 included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the period/year ended 30 June 2010 and 31 December 2010, was based on the net assets value of SML Group attributable to the SHL Group as at the date of disposal of approximately HK$99,488,000. The above-mentioned net assets value was calculated based on the management accounts of SML Group as at the date of disposal. As the SHL Group was unable to access the books and records subsequent to the disposal of SML Group, we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence relating to the financial information of SML Group and there were no other satisfactory audit procedures that we could adopt to satisfy ourselves whether assets classified as held for sale of approximately HK$99,488,000 as at 31 December 2009, the net assets value of SML Group attributable to the SHL Group as at the date of disposal of approximately HK$99,488,000, the SHL Group’s share of SML Group’s profit or loss of HK$Nil for the period up to the date of disposal and gain on disposal of associates of approximately HK$1,414,000 for the period/year ended 30 June 2010 and 31 December 2010

The aforesaid losses on disposals of subsidiaries were calculated based on the management accounts of the two disposed subsidiaries as at the respective dates of disposals.

The above-mentioned transfer led to the reduction of the SHL Group’s interest in GYB from 100% to 30% and GYB became an associate of the SHL Group with carrying amount of approximately HK$29,906,000. Pursuant to the above, a loss on deemed disposal of a subsidiary of approximately HK$3,939,000 was recognised in the consolidated profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2010.
