I am delighted to inform you that Cassian has entered into a conditional agreement to acquire the entireissued share capital of Praise Ease. Praise Ease is the Hong Kong based holding company of Zhong Tian, amobile phone manufacturer based in Shenzen, PRC.

The consideration for the Praise Ease Acquisition is to be satisfied by the issue of 70,000,000 New OrdinaryShares to the Vendors, credited as fully paid at 20p on Completion, therefore valuing such consideration at£14,000,000. A deferred consideration of up to 15,000,000 additional New Ordinary Shares will be payabledependent on profits for the year ending 30 June 2007. Further details can be found in paragraph 13.7 of PartVI of this document.

In connection with the Praise Ease Acquisition, the Company is also proposing the following:

• the Consolidation, by which every ten issued Ordinary Shares of 1p will be consolidated so as tobecome one ordinary share of 10p;

• the Albany Subscription;

• the Company change its name to ZTC Telecommunications plc;

• to seek a waiver of Rule 9 of the City Code as a result of the Acquisition (“Waiver”); and

• to apply for admission of the Enlarged Share Capital to AIM.

The Proposals are conditional, inter alia, on Shareholder approval. The purpose of this document is to giveyou details of the Proposals and to recommend you vote in favour of the Resolutions to be proposed at theEGM, notice of which is set out at the end of this document, and to make the Call in order to effect the PraiseEase Acquisition.

The Praise Ease Acquisition will result in the Concert Party owning more than 30 per cent. of the EnlargedShare Capital, and so would require an offer to be made by the Concert Party unless a waiver of this rule isgranted by the Panel. The waiver by the Panel of the application of Rule 9 requires the approval of theShareholders. In addition, the Directors consider it appropriate to change the Company’s name onCompletion to ZTC Telecommunications plc to reflect the Praise Ease Acquisition.

2. BACKGROUND

Cassian was incorporated in 2000 as a cash shell in order to identify a single transaction whereby theCompany would acquire, or would be acquired by, an undertaking suitable for admission to the Official Listor AIM.

Under the terms of the Offer for Subscription in Cassian in 2000, the directors of the Company undertook toconvene a general meeting of the Company to consider the future of the Company if no suitable transactionhad been identified within 30 months of the date of that document. That period expired on 29 May 2003, buthas been extended by a series of resolutions passed at a number of general meetings of the Company andnow expires on 31 March 2007.

Cassian has not carried on any trade or business since its incorporation in 2000 and has no employees. TheDirectors believe that Praise Ease is a suitable acquisition for the Company. Following Admission, theCompany’s business will become that of Praise Ease.

3. REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION

Zhong Tian, the trading subsidiary of Praise Ease, is located in the Longgang District of Shenzhen, Chinaand designs, assembles and distributes mobile telephone handsets. The company, founded in June 2003,commenced business as an OEM handset distributor with an initial focus on southern China. The scope andnature of the business changed fundamentally in 2005, when Zhong Tian was awarded a handsetmanufacturing license, enabling the company to design, assemble and market its own handsets under the“ZTC” brand. The company has developed an extensive distribution network in China and achieved sales ofRMB195 million (around £13 million) and net profit of RMB26 million (around £1.7 million) in the yearended June 2006.

In order to manufacture mobile handsets in the PRC, a company is required to be issued with a governmentlicence. At the end of October 2006 the central government had issued a total of 80 manufacturing licencesof which, the Proposed Directors believe, 24 are estimated to be currently active. The remaining licenceholders include eight foreign firms such as Siemens and Ericsson with the balance being domestic. Theacquisition of a manufacturing licence has improved Zhong Tian’s competitive position, enabled it to directlycontrol many of its costs leading to an increased profit margin and has created the opportunity tomanufacture for OEM’s to fully utilise its production capacity if necessary.

In addition to revenues from the sale of mobile handsets, on 10 March 2006 Zhong Tian entered into anagreement with SINA.COM (“SINA”), one of the largest internet portals and wireless content providers inChina. The agreement allows for SINA’s customised software to be embedded in Zhong Tian java enabledphones allowing access to the portals’ wireless value added multimedia services. Zhong Tian and SINA sharethe revenues generated by these services.

The Praise Ease Acquisition and Admission will assist Zhong Tian in its development by:

• providing capital to assist Zhong Tian in developing new product designs and expanding into new andexisting markets;

• raising the profile of Zhong Tian generally and within its sector; and

• enabling Zhong Tian to attract and retain good quality high level staff by offering equity incentivesthrough employee share options.

The Directors have no plans for the redeployment of the Company’s fixed assets nor plans to move PraiseEase’s or Zhong Tian’s operations from their current locations. As a result of the Proposals the Company’sbusiness model will become that of Praise Ease.

4. DETAILS OF THE PRAISE EASE ACQUISITION

The Company has conditionally agreed to acquire the entire issued share capital of Praise Ease pursuant tothe Praise Ease Acquisition Agreement.

The consideration for the Praise Ease Acquisition is to be satisfied by the issue, credited as fully paid, of70,000,000 New Ordinary Shares at 20p per share to the Vendors, and up to a further 15,000,000 NewOrdinary Shares depending on the post tax profits of Zhong Tian for the year ending 30 June 2007 beingequal to RMB35,000,000. In the event that such post tax profits for the period are less than RMB35,000,000the Deferred Consideration will decrease on a stepped basis. In the event that such post tax profits for theperiod are less than RMB27,500,000, no Deferred Consideration will be payable.

The Initial Consideration Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the New Ordinary Shares.

The Praise Ease Acquisition is conditional, inter alia, on:

• the passing at the EGM of the Resolutions;

• obtaining the Waiver; and

• Admission.

Summaries of the principal terms of the Praise Ease Acquisition Agreement and the Admission Agreementare set out in paragraphs 13.7 and 13.11 respectively of Part VI of this document.

6. NOTICE OF CALL

There are 201,915,000 A Shares in issue. The A Shares (which have a nominal value of 2p each) have exactlythe same rights as the Ordinary Shares (which have a nominal value of 1p each) as to voting, income andcapital rights. Under the terms of the Scheme all of the A Shares were issued credited as partly paid as to0.5p per share. When the balance of 1.5p per A Share is paid up by or on behalf of the holder thereof suchfully paid A Share of 2p will automatically be divided into one fully paid Ordinary Share (of 1p) and onefully paid Deferred Share (of 1p).

The Company is calling the balance of 1.5p due on each of the A Shares. The Call will therefore raise£3,028,725 before expenses.

The Directors have the power to make the Call at any time, although the Partly Paid Shareholders will recallthat the Prospectus envisaged the call being made in anticipation of either making an acquisition or beingacquired, and the consequent admission of the Company to the Official List or AIM. A potential investeecompany (i.e. Praise Ease) has now been identified and it is the intention of the Directors to make anapplication for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM.

The Call is conditional on the Resolutions and the Class Meeting Resolution being passed.

The Call and consequences of non-payment

This document constitutes notice by the Company to the Partly Paid Shareholders that, by a resolutionof the Directors of the Company passed on 13 February 2007 and in accordance with the Articles ofAssociation of the Company, all of the Partly Paid Shareholders are required to pay up the balance of1.5p per share payable on the A Shares held by them. The Partly Paid Shareholders should be awarethat, if they fail to pay the Call, they will forfeit the 0.5p per A Share already paid and the A Sharesheld by them.

The Call is conditional upon the Resolutions and the Class Meeting Resolution all being duly passedon or before 31 March 2007. If such resolutions have not been duly passed by 31 March 2007, themoney raised by the Call will be returned, without interest, by post to the holders of Partly Paid Sharesat the risk of such holders.

Holders of A Shares should note that failure to pay the unpaid balance will, provided the Resolutionsand the Class Meeting Resolution are all duly passed on or before 31 March 2007 and following anotice of forfeiture being served upon defaulting shareholders, render them liable to forfeiture of theirA Shares. In that event they will be sold to Albany, at a price of 1.5p per share. In the case of forfeiture,a defaulting shareholder of A Shares will receive no payment and, in particular, will not receive thereturn of the 0.5p per A Share already paid. However, whilst defaulting shareholders wouldtechnically remain liable to pay the balance of 1.5p per A Share following their forfeiture, it would bethe Directors’ intention to waive enforcement of the payment of such balance on their sale to Albany.

Your attention is drawn to the Risk Factors set out in Part III of this document.

How to pay the Call

The total number of A Shares registered in your name and the aggregate amount which you are required topay pursuant to the Call is shown at the top of the enclosed Call Letter.

Under the Money Laundering Regulations 2003, Capita IRG Plc (Capita) may be required to check theidentity of persons who are required to pay in excess of the sterling equivalent of Euro 15,000(approximately £10,007) under the Call.

Capita may therefore undertake electronic searches for the purposes of verifying identity. To do so Capitamay verify the details against the Partly Paid Shareholder’s identity, but also may request further proof ofidentity. Capita reserve the right to withhold any entitlement (including any refund cheque) until suchverification of identity is completed to its satisfaction.

The Call has been fully underwritten by the Albany for no fee. Albany has reserved the right to sub-underwrite its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement.

The Underwriting Agreement provides that Albany shall also subscribe at 20p per share for such number ofNew Ordinary Shares as would result in Albany’s aggregate holding of New Ordinary Shares (when addedto any New Ordinary Shares acquired by Albany by reason of it underwriting the Call) being 5,000,000 NewOrdinary Shares.

The Directors will notify Albany of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement. Albany willdetermine the allocation, if any, it will make to sub-underwriters.

Share Consolidation

In order to improve marketability of the Company’s shares, the Company is proposing to consolidate ten ofeach Ordinary Shares into one New Ordinary Share of 10p each with effect from 6.00 p.m. on 15 March2007. Thus, following the Consolidation, Shareholders and Partly Paid Shareholders who have responded tothe Call Letter will own one tenth of the number of Existing Ordinary Shares or, as the case may be, A Sharesthat they currently own. Fractions arising from the Consolidation will be aggregated and sold in the marketand the net sale proceeds will be retained and applied for the benefit of the Company.

Every ten of the unissued Existing Ordinary Shares will be consolidated into one New Ordinary Share of10p.

All of the New Ordinary Shares will be in registered form and no temporary document of title will be issued.

The Non-Employee Warrant Proposal

On 19 December 2006 a letter was sent by Edward Vandyk to all of the holders of Warrants and FurtherSubscription Rights (other than the Employees) in which it was proposed that one-eighth of all the Warrantsand all of the Further Subscription Rights (other than, in each case, those held by the Employees) and theWarrants arising on the exercise of such Further Subscription Rights be exercised at 2p per share and that theremaining seven-eighths of all the Warrants and all of the Further Subscription Rights (other than those heldby the Employees) be cancelled by executing a deed of cancellation in consideration of the Companyagreeing to pay two-sevenths of a penny for every Warrant cancelled and one and three-sevenths of a pennyfor every Further Subscription Right cancelled (“the Non-Employee Warrant Proposal”).

In other words, under the Non-Employee Warrant Proposal:

• for every block of eight Warrants held a holder of Warrants would exercise one Warrant and wouldpay 2p for the one Ordinary Share deriving from such exercise and would receive an aggregate of 2pas consideration for the remaining seven Warrants in such block i.e. there would be no net cost to aholder of Warrants; and

• for every block of eight Further Subscription Rights held a holder of Further Subscription Rightswould exercise one Further Subscription Right and the four Warrants arising on the exercise of suchFurther Subscription Right and would pay 10p for the five Ordinary Shares deriving from suchexercise and would receive an aggregate of 10p as consideration for the remaining seven FurtherSubscription Rights in such block i.e. there would be no net cost to a holder of Further SubscriptionRights.

Where the number of Warrants or Further Subscription Rights held by a holder was not an exact multiple ofeight the number of Warrants or Further Subscription Rights held over and above the nearest (but lower)multiple of eight would be cancelled for nil consideration.

The Company realised that holders of Warrants or Further Subscription Rights may not wish or be able towrite a cheque in order to exercise his Warrants or Further Subscription Rights and the Warrants arising onthe exercise of such Further Subscription Rights and so the Company arranged for these amounts to be paidon behalf of such holders on the basis that any amounts paid would be repaid out of the proceeds ofcancellation of the Warrants and Further Subscription Rights because, for each holder, the cost of exercisingWarrants or Further Subscription Rights and the Warrants arising on the exercise of such FurtherSubscription Rights would be the same as proceeds of cancellation to be received by each such holder.

The Non-Employee Warrant Proposal was accepted by the holders of 41,531,250 Warrants (which, togetherwith the 31,250,000 Warrants that were held by Employees, represented 89.1 per cent. of the number ofWarrants in issue) and 6,750,000 Further Subscription Rights (which, together with the 6,250,000 FurtherSubscription Rights that were held by Employees, represent 100 per cent. of the number of FurtherSubscription Rights in issue). Accordingly, as result of such acceptance of the Non-Employee WarrantProposal 5,191,405 Warrants representing 6.4 per cent. of the number of Warrants in issue) and 843,750Further Subscription Rights (and the four Warrants arising on the exercise of such Further SubscriptionRight) were exercised resulting in a total of 9,410,155 Ordinary Shares being issued.

The Employee Warrant Proposal

It was originally envisaged that all holders of Warrants and Further Subscription Rights would be treated thesame i.e. the Warrant Proposal would apply to everyone. However, the Company was advised that whereholders could be said to have received their Warrants or Further Subscription Rights by virtue of theiremployment a charge to income tax would arise by reference to the value of the Ordinary Shares issued. TheCompany could then have to account to HMRC for PAYE and national insurance on the amount charged toincome tax. In other words, structuring the warrant proposals that way in relation to employees would resultin an immediate requirement for the Company to make a cash payment. The Company was advised that forincome tax purposes directors are treated as in employment by the Company and therefore that this treatmentwould apply to any Ordinary Shares issued under the Non-Employee Warrant Proposal to any of theEmployees.

The Non-Employee Warrant Proposal was therefore modified for the Employees and, instead, each of theEmployees received one Employee Warrant for every two Warrants held and five Employee Warrants forevery two Further Subscription Rights currently held. The Company was advised that this proposal (“theEmployee Warrant Proposal”) would not result in an immediate requirement for the Company to make a cashpayment. The tax treatment would still be the same when the Employee Warrants are exercised, and it wastherefore a condition of the issue of the Employee Warrants that the recipient of the Employee Warrantsindemnified the Company against liability for tax, and enters into a separate election available regardingnational insurance whereby the Company’s national insurance liability on such exercise is transferred to therecipient of the Employee Warrants. In the letter sent to Warrantholders on 19 December 2006 it was statedthat the implementation of the Employee Warrant Proposal would be conditional on Admission. However, asit is the intention of the Directors to wind up the Company if Admission does not take place, it wasconsidered that it would be appropriate to implement the Employee Warrant Proposal before this documentwas sent to Shareholders.

Edward Vandyk and I each held 12,500,000 Warrants and 3,125,000 Further Subscription Rights. Therefore,under the Employee Warrant Proposal we each received 14,062,500 Employee Warrants. Alan Pereira held1,250,000 Warrants (and no Further Subscription Rights) and so under the Employee Warrant Proposal hereceived 625,000 Employee Warrants. Giles Baker held 5,000,000 Warrants (and no Further SubscriptionRights) and so under the Employee Warrant Proposal he received 2,500,000 Employee Warrants.

** Being one half five times the number of Further Subscription Rights held by employees, as each Further Subscription Right isconvertible into one Ordinary Share and four Warrants.

Remaining Warrants and Further Subscription Rights

As result of the implementation of the Non-Employee Warrant Proposal and the Employee Warrant Proposal,8,912,500 Warrants remain unexercised and there are no longer any Further Subscription Rights in issue.

11. WAIVER OF RULE 9 OF THE CITY CODE

The terms of the Proposals set out in this letter give rise to certain considerations under the City Code. Briefdetails of the Panel, the City Code and the protection they afford are given below.

The City Code does not currently have the full force of law. It has, however, been acknowledged by bothgovernment and other regulatory authorities that those who seek to take advantage of the facilities of thesecurities markets in the United Kingdom should conduct themselves in matters relating to takeovers (andrelated transactions) in accordance with high business standards and according to the City Code.

The City Code is issued and administered by the Panel. The City Code applies to all listed or unlisted publiccompanies registered in the United Kingdom (and to private companies in certain circumstances) and, wherenot listed on a regulated market, are considered by the Panel to have their place of central management andcontrol in the United Kingdom. The Company is a public company registered in the United Kingdom andmanaged and controlled in the United Kingdom and as such its Shareholders are therefore entitled to theprotections afforded by the City Code.

Under Rule 9 of the City Code, where any person acquires, whether by a single transaction or a series oftransactions over a period of time, an interest in shares which (taken together with shares in which personsacting in concert with him are interested) carry 30 per cent. or more of the voting rights of a company, thatperson is normally required by the Panel to make a general offer, in cash, to the shareholders of that companyto acquire the balance of the equity share capital and any other class of transferable security carrying votingrights of the company at the highest price paid by that person or any person acting in concert with him in theprevious 12 months.

Rule 9 of the City Code further provides that, inter alia, where any person who, together with persons actingin concert with him is interested in shares which in aggregate carry, not less than 30 per cent. of the votingrights of a company but does not hold shares carrying not more than 50 per cent. of such voting rights andsuch person, or any such person acting in concert with him, acquires an interest in additional shares whichincrease his percentage of shares carrying voting rights, such person is normally required by the Panel tomake a general offer to the shareholders of that company to acquire the balance of the equity share capitaland every other class of transferable security carrying voting rights of the company at the highest price paidby that person or any person acting in concert with him in the previous 12 months.

Under the City Code, a concert party arises when persons who, pursuant to an agreement or understanding(whether formal or informal), co-operate to obtain or consolidate control of that company. Under the CityCode, control means an interest, or aggregate interests, in shares carrying 30 per cent. or more of the votingrights of a company, irrespective of whether the interest or interests gives de facto control.

As a result of the issue of the Initial Consideration Shares, the Concert Party will increase their interests fromno previous interest to an interest in 70,000,000 Shares, being 74.7 per cent. of the Enlarged Share Capital(assuming no new Shares are issued pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement). Upon the issue of theDeferred Consideration and the exercise of options held by the Concert Party in accordance with their terms,the aggregate holding of the Concert Party would be 78.5 per cent. (assuming no New Ordinary Shares areissued pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and no other New Ordinary Shares are issued in the interim).

The Panel has been consulted and has agreed that it will not require the members of the Concert Party,individually or collectively, to make a general offer under Rule 9 of the City Code in cash for OrdinaryShares in the Company which might otherwise arise as a result of the issue of the New Ordinary Shares andOptions (as detailed below) to the Concert Party pursuant to the Proposals, subject to Resolution 2 (as setout in the notice convening the Extraordinary General Meeting) being passed on a poll by the IndependentShareholders.

PART II

Information on Zhong Tian Communications Equipment Co., Ltd

INTRODUCTION

Zhong Tian, located in the Longgang District of Shenzhen, PRC designs, assembles and markets mobiletelephone handsets under the “ZTC” brand. The company, founded in June 2003 by its major shareholderCharles Huang, commenced business as an OEM handset distributor with an initial focus on southern PRC.The scope and nature of the business changed fundamentally in 2005, when Zhong Tian was awarded a GSMhandset manufacturing license, enabling the company to design, assemble and market its own handsets underthe “ZTC” brand. These events, in combination with the concurrent development of an extensive distributionnetwork, allowed the company to considerably increase revenues to RMB195 million and net profits toRMB26 million in the year ended June 2006.

In addition to revenues from the sale of mobile handsets, on 10 March 2006 Zhong Tian entered into anagreement with SINA, one of the largest internet portals and wireless content providers in China. Theagreement allows for SINA customised software to be embedded in Zhong Tian java enabled phonesallowing access to the portals’ wireless value added multimedia services. Zhong Tian and SINA will sharethe revenues generated by these services.

Zhong Tian’s handsets are primarily aimed at the estimated 800 million Chinese who reside in the lesserdeveloped north, central and western regions of PRC. This focus is achieved through Zhong Tian’s strategyof producing handsets that are “Fashionable, Economical and Practical”:

• Fashionable – the company manufactures small batches of a wide variety of phones which can bequickly introduced to the market to cater for changing fashions and market conditions.

• Economical and Practical – the company focuses on a relatively low price product range toaccommodate the more cost sensitive consumers in the less developed parts of the PRC.

Zhong Tian has targeted this geographical area as a major business opportunity for the following reasons:

• The PRC government is promoting strong growth policies outside the major urban areas to addressthe wealth divide and to develop infrastructure services. Market forces are also driving growth in theseareas as businesses relocate to lower cost areas. Per capita income is increasing.

• China Mobile Limited (“China Mobile”) has identified the rural market as one of its three key revenuegrowth drivers. In areas where there are large rural populations China Mobile has strengthened theconstruction of infrastructure including telecommunications networks and sales channels, activelydeveloped products and services targeting rural customers and launched sales packages that fit theunique mobile telephony useage characteristics of rural areas.

• The penetration rate in the rural areas has been estimated by China Mobile to be 11.5 per cent.(source: China Mobile, www.chinamobileltd.com)

The Proposed Directors believe that the above factors have the potential to considerably increase mobilephone penetration in these targeted areas.

In addition to selling handsets within the PRC, it is the Proposed Directors’ intention to develop overseassales in the medium term.

KEY STRENGTHS

The Directors and Proposed Directors believe the key strengths of the Enlarged Group include the following;

• ownership of the GSM manufacturing licence;

• a wide product range and a development team with the ability to respond competitively to changingmarket trends; and

• an extensive distribution network in the central and western provinces and rural areas, the nextemerging major business opportunity in the mobile phone business in China.

The Directors and Proposed Directors believe that these key strengths will allow the Enlarged Group topursue its growth strategy, to capitalise on current market trends, consolidate and increase market share,revenues and profits within the Chinese mobile market.

OPERATIONS

Zhong Tian was granted a GSM handset manufacturing licence in July 2005 and commenced independentproduction and marketing under the “ZTC” brand in August 2005. Zhong Tian buys mobile phonecomponents from suppliers and assembles new generation ‘ultra-slim’ handsets using its own and contractedouter-casing designs. The company, which also assembles for OEMs, produced 748,930 handsets in thetwelve months to 30 June 2006. Zhong Tian was credited with ISO9001 (2000 edition) on 17 January 2006.

At June 2006 the company had over 280 employees based in some 4,000sqm of workshop floor space. Thefacility is located on an industrial park site which is on a long term lease.

The components are supplied by multiple suppliers, and the outer-casing is mainly designed by Zhong Tian’sdesign team (and sub-contractors) based in Shenzhen City. In order to minimise the risks associated withreliance on a small number of suppliers, Zhong Tian has a minimum of two suppliers for its criticalcomponent parts namely, main boards, cameras, displays and outer casings. Apart from a main boardsupplier located in Shanghai all other critical component suppliers are located in Shenzhen within a seventykilometre radius of the factory.

Currently there are four labour-intensive assembly lines, operating one shift, with an output potential of 80-120 handsets per hour each, depending upon the complexity of the handset. This equates to a potential annualcapacity of 600,000-900,000 handsets based on a 46 week year. An increase in capacity could be achievedthrough overtime and/or the introduction of a second shift when demand has grown sufficiently.

Products

The company’s handsets typically retail in the RMB800-RMB2000 (approximately £50 – £130) price rangewhich is at the low-cost end of the market. Specifications for the cheaper end of the recent or current mobilephone product range usually contain a 1.6'' colour screen, music audio and a camera with 300K pixelresolution whilst the more expensive handset has a 2.8'' screen, music audio, video, MMS & PDA functionand camera with at least 2.0 million pixels. In the year ending 30 June 2006, Zhong Tian introduced twentyfour new handsets, including ten customized models, under the “ZTC” brand which represented thecompany’s complete range at that time.

Retail & Distribution

The marketing strategy has focused on developing an extensive retail and distribution network concentratingon smaller cities and rural areas rather than the major urban areas where cell phone penetration rates are high.Zhong Tian currently has distribution agreements, which are typically of twelve months duration, with:

• three wholesalers who are entitled to market nationally but focus on urban areas;

• thirty nine provincial distributors with at least one distributor in 23 of the 30 provinces of China.Included are ten core distributors covering Jiangsu, Hunan, Heilongjiang, Zhejiang, Liaoning,Sichuan, Hubei, Henan, Shandong and Shaanxi provinces. Three of these core distributors are locatedin the east with the balance being north, central and western provinces. The core distributors in turn

Page 27: CASSIAN INVESTMENTS PLC - Perfect Informationfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/7756127ad00288e2... · 2007-03-13 · Corporate Synergy Plc will not be offering advice and will

collectively have 564 outlets. The core distributors are obligated to install exclusive ZTC brandedcounters, at Zhong Tian’s expense, in each of its outlets; and

• the distributors tend to have a combination of owned outlets and distribution agreements with somewell established national electronic & electrical wholesalers. For example these include certain outletsof Gome Appliance Inc in Shaanxi and Sichuan, Five Star Appliance in Shenzhen, and Carrefour inShanghai.

After sales service, repairs and maintenance have been outsourced to a Shenzhen based company, ShenzhenMobile Care Communications Technology Company Limited (“MCCTC”), who specialise in such activitiesfor multiple handset brands. MCCTC has developed a service network covering approximately seventy citiesin twenty seven provinces and has developed a relationship with China Post to facilitate timely delivery ofdistributors and end users. All products are sold on the basis of a twelve month warranty whereby ZhongTian is responsible for repair and maintenance costs during this period.

THE MARKET

As at the end of September 2006, the PRC had approximately 443.1 million mobile phone subscribers,accounting for approximately 33.9 per cent. of the population. Although the PRC is already one of the largestmobile phone markets in the world, its penetration rates are almost half of those in more mature markets suchas the USA and UK. (source: MII, www.mii.gov.cn)

The Proposed Directors believe that in time the Chinese mobile penetration rate will increase to rates enjoyedby mature markets of in excess of 70 per cent. in the USA and over 100 per cent. in Western Europe. Thisimplies a long term subscriber population in the PRC of more than 900 million. On this basis over time thePRC has the potential to add a further 457 million subscribers to the base as at 30 September 2006. It is alsolikely that a large number of these new subscribers will be located outside the well developed eastern regionand major cities of China where penetration rates are already at mature levels. Penetration rates in selecteddeveloped areas in the PRC as at 30 September 2006:

– Beijing 106 per cent.

– Shanghai 88.2 per cent.

– Guangdong Province 77 per cent.

– Zhejiang Province 59.9 per cent.

The recorded penetration rates in the provinces of Zhong Tian’s core distributors are:

– Jiangsu 37.8 per cent.

– Hunan 22.3 per cent.

– Heilongjiang 32.2 per cent.

– Zhejiang 59.9 per cent.

– Liaoning 37.7 per cent.

– Sichuan 22.7 per cent.

– Hubei 27.8 per cent.

– Henan 23.4 per cent.

– Shandong 27.8 per cent.

– Shaanxi 29.8 per cent.

(Source www.mii.gov.cn)

China Mobile has also estimated that in areas where the population is largely rural the penetration rate isapproximately 11.5 per cent. (source: China Mobile, www.chinamobileltd.com).

STRATEGY

The strategy of the Enlarged Group will be to focus on:

• investing in its brand through staff training, advertising (billboards, internet, newspapers) and event andpersonality sponsorship to increase brand awareness;

• continuing to invest in new products;

• establishing additional and improved distribution and sales outlets. In particular the company will focus onthe major service providers such as China Mobile in its targeted areas which could result in more rapidmarket penetration;

• increasing production capacity in the medium term by utilising existing infrastructure to add an additionalfour assembly lines to meet future sales growth. This will allow the company to maintain its cost advantagein producing its own handsets, thereby protecting margins;

• the preparation of an application in 2007 for a CDMA manufacturing licence and to prepare for theregistration for the application of a 3G manufacturing licence the timing of which is still uncertain. Thecompany is likely to take a low risk approach in respect to these licences by exploiting its ability tomanufacture for OEM’s and becoming comfortable with the technology before it develops its own low costhandsets utilizing these technologies; and

• exploiting the cost advantages that Zhong Tian may obtain to develop overseas markets with similarcharacteristics to China’s, such as Indonesia, India, and Africa.

The Directors and Proposed Directors believe that this strategy will entrench Zhong Tian’s current market positionand drive sales volume growth to capitalise on current trends and to increase market share and brand awareness.

The Proposed Directors believe that their collective experience in the telecommunications industry, combined withskills in the areas of finance and management, provide a solid platform to implement the Company’s businessstrategy successfully.

Risks relating to PRC

Ordinance 10 Regulations

The approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, or the CSRC, may be required in connectionwith this transaction under a recently adopted PRC regulation. Any requirement to obtain prior CSRCapproval could delay this transaction and a failure to obtain this approval, if required, could have a materialadverse effect on the business, operating results, reputation and trading price of the Company’s shares. Theregulation also establishes more complex procedures for acquisitions conducted by foreign investors whichcould make it more difficult to pursue growth through acquisitions.

On 8 August 2006, six PRC regulatory agencies, namely, the PRC Ministry of Commerce, the State AssetsSupervision and Administration Commission, or SASAC, the State Administration for Taxation, the StateAdministration for Industry and Commerce, the CSRC, and the SAFE, jointly adopted the Regulations onMergers and Acquisitions of Domestic Enterprises by Foreign Investors, or the New M&A Rule, whichbecame effective on 8 September 2006. This New M&A Rule purports, among other things, to requireoffshore special purpose vehicles, or SPVs, formed for overseas listing purposes through acquisitions of PRCdomestic companies and controlled by PRC companies or individuals, to obtain the approval of the CSRCprior to publicly listing their securities on an overseas stock exchange. On 21 September 2006, the CSRCpublished a notice on its official website specifying documents and materials required to be submitted to itby SPVs seeking CSRC approval of their overseas listings. Zhong Tian’s PRC counsel, Boss & Young is ofthe opinion that: (1) The CSRC is the competent authority to administer overseas listings of SPVs, (2) giventhe fact that Zhong Tian has completed the restructuring and the establishment of itself as a wholly foreignowned enterprise (“WFOE”) and commenced the overseas listing process before 8 September 2006, the datewhen ordinance 10 became effective, it is not necessary for Zhong Tian to submit an application for CSRCapproval and (3) no detailed implementation rules or other formal interpretation is available to PRC counselto arrive at a different opinion. While the application of the New M&A Rule remains unclear, the Directorsand Proposed Directors believe, based on the advice of Zhong Tian’s PRC counsel, Boss & Young, thatCSRC approval is not required in the context of this transaction. However, the Company cannot assurepotential investors that the relevant PRC government agency, including the CSRC, would reach the same

conclusion as the Company’s PRC counsel. If the CSRC or other PRC regulatory body subsequentlydetermines that Praise Ease needed to obtain the CSRC’s approval for this transaction, the Company mayface sanctions by the CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies. In such event, these regulatory agencies mayimpose fines and penalties on Zhong Tian’s operations in the PRC, limit its operating privileges in the PRC,or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financialcondition, results of operations, reputation and prospects, as well as the trading price of the Company’sshares. The CSRC or other PRC regulatory agencies may also take actions requiring the Company, or makingit advisable for the Company, to halt the transaction.

The New M&A Rule also established additional procedures and requirements that could make merger andacquisition activities by foreign investors more time-consuming and complex, including requirements insome instances that the Ministry of Commerce be notified in advance of any change-of-control transactionin which a foreign investor takes control of a PRC domestic enterprise. In the future, the Company may growits business in part by acquiring complementary businesses, although it does not have any plans to do so atthis time. Complying with the requirements of the New M&A Rule to complete such transactions could betime-consuming, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval from the Ministry ofCommerce, may delay or inhibit the Company’s ability to complete such transactions, which could affect itsability to expand its business or maintain its market share.

Economic considerations

The economy of China has been historically a planned economy subject to five year and annual plansadopted by the central authorities, which set forth economic goals. Although the majority of the means oftelecommunication and information services are still controlled by the state, the importance of the state plansin the allocation of resources and productivity growth in the Chinese economy is diminishing as a result ofgreater decentralisation and utilisation of market forces in the allocation of resources. Only recently has theChinese Government encouraged substantial private economy activity and there can be no assurance that theChinese Government’s pursuit of economic reforms will be consistent or effective. However, it is consideredthat China’s admittance into the World Trade Organisation will encourage the Chinese Government tocontinue to pursue its current strategy of encouraging private economic activity. Many of the reforms areunprecedented or in an experimental stage and are expected to be refined. There is no assurance that thecontinued introduction of such reforms will not have an adverse effect upon the business, operations andprofitability of the Enlarged Group. In addition, the economy of China differs from the economies of mostdeveloped countries in many respects including governmental involvement, level of development, growthrate, controls on foreign exchange and allocation of resources.

The economy of China has experienced significant growth in the past twenty years but growth has beenuneven both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. Economic growth has beenaccompanied by a period of high inflation. The Chinese Government has implemented various measuresfrom time to time to control inflation and restrain the rate of economic growth. The Enlarged Group’soperating results and financial condition may be adversely affected by changes in the rate or method oftaxation, imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion and remittance abroad and statepolicies affecting the Enlarged Group’s customers.

The Chinese economy has experienced high growth over the last few years, due to political and economicliberalisation, which has led to a vastly increased level of domestic consumer spending. However, a downturnin the performance of the Chinese economy may lead to a decline in this spending which could adverselyaffect the financial performance of the Enlarged Group.

The Chinese Government may also seek to regulate or restrain the telecommunication and informationservices industry in China through measures such as adoption and enforcement of laws, regulations andtaxes. These regulations or restraints may significantly constrain the flexibility and ability of the Companyto expand its business operations or maximise its profitability.

BVI shareholders

As a result, Tomorrow’s Focus Ltd will be able to exercise control over all matters requiring approval byshareholders of the Company including the election of directors and approval of mergers, consolidations,sales of assets, recapitalisations and amendments to the Articles of Association. Tomorrow’s Focus Ltd maytake actions with which investors do not agree, including actions that delay, defer or prevent a change ofcontrol, and could cause the price that investors are willing to pay for Ordinary Shares to decline.

Tomorrow’s Focus Ltd is an investment holding company incorporated under the laws of the British VirginIslands and is wholly owned by Charles Huang.

Political and social considerations

The PRC has been undergoing a series of political reforms since 1978. Such reforms have in the past resultedin significant economic growth. However, there can be no assurance that any future reform policy of the PRCGovernment will be effective. The Company’s business may be affected by such future reforms.

Legal considerations

Since 1979, many laws and regulations dealing with economic matters with respect to general and foreigninvestments have been amended and promulgated in the PRC. In 1982, PRC’s National People’s Congressamended the constitution to attract foreign investments and to safeguard the “lawful rights and interests” offoreign investors in the PRC. Since then, the trend of legislation has been to enhance the protection affordedto foreign investors and to allow more active control by foreign investors of FIEs in PRC. However, despitesignificant improvements in its legal system, the legal system is still not sufficiently comprehensive whencompared to the legal systems of certain developed countries. There still exist difficulties in obtaining swiftand equitable enforcement and in obtaining enforcement of judgments by a court of another jurisdiction inthe PRC. Further, as a result of political changes, the interpretation of statutes and regulations may be subjectto government policies reflecting domestic political and social change. Such uncertainties may affect theEnlarged Group’s operations and accordingly, its profitability.

Many laws and regulations in China are promulgated in broad principles and the Government has graduallylaid down implementation rules and has continued to refine and modify such laws and regulations. As thesystem develops, the promulgation of new laws or the refinement or modification of existing laws may affectforeign investors.

Furthermore, the PRC legal system is based on written statutes. Prior court decisions may be cited forreference but have limited precedent value. Although PRC legislation and regulations have significantlyenhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investment in China, the interpretations ofmany laws, regulations and rules by PRC courts are not always uniform and enforcement of these laws,regulations and rules involve uncertainties, which may limit legal protections available to the Company. Inaddition, any litigation in China may be protracted and result in substantial costs and diversion of resourcesand management attention of the Company.

The Company’s Proposed Directors predominantly reside in China and all or substantially all of the assetsof the aforesaid persons are allocated in China. It may prove difficult for investors to effect service of processupon those members of the Enlarged Group established in China or those executive Directors residing inChina or to enforce against them in China any judgments obtained from non-Chinese courts.

China does not have treaties providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of the courtsof the British Virgin Islands, or the United Kingdom. Nor has China acceded to the Hague Convention onJurisdiction and Foreign Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters. Article 318 of the Advisory Opinionof the Supreme People’s Court on Several Issues concerning Application of Civil Procedure Law of the PRCprovides that “where a party applies to a competent Intermediate People’s Court of the PRC for recognitionand enforcement of a legally effective judgment or written order made by a foreign court, if the country inwhich such foreign court is located and the PRC have not concluded or acceded to an international treaty andhave no reciprocal relations, the party may initiate a new suit in a people’s court which has sufficientjurisdiction. Based on the same set of facts, a people’s court will substantively re-examine the case andrender a judgment”. In reality, this procedure is not an example of recognising and enforcing foreignjudgments or written orders, since it is an independent judgment made by the people’s court after exercisingsufficient jurisdictional power and undertaking substantive re-examination of the facts of the case. Therefore

31

Page 32: CASSIAN INVESTMENTS PLC - Perfect Informationfedownload.perfectinfo.com/docroot/pdf/7756127ad00288e2... · 2007-03-13 · Corporate Synergy Plc will not be offering advice and will

recognition and enforcement in China of judgments of a court in any of these jurisdictions in relation to anymatter not subject to a binding arbitration provision may be difficult or impossible.

Devaluation or appreciation in the value of the Renminbi or restrictions on convertibility of the Renminbi

The revenues and expenses of the Enlarged Group will be mainly denominated in Renminbi. The externalvalue of the Renminbi is subject to changes in policies of the PRC Government and to internationaleconomic and political developments. Since 1994, the conversion of the Renminbi into foreign currencies,including Hong Kong Dollars and US Dollars, has been based on rates set by the People’s Bank of Chinawhich were set daily based on the previous day’s interbank foreign exchange market rates and currentexchange rates on the world financial markets. On 21 July 2005 the PRC Government revalued the Renminbiand moved to a managed floating exchange rate with reference to a basket of currencies. This change inpolicy has resulted in an approximately 2.1 per cent. appreciation of the Renminbi against the US Dollar.While the international reaction to the Renminbi revaluation has generally been positive, there remainssignificant international pressure on the PRC government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy,which could result in a further and more significant appreciation of the Renminbi against the US Dollar.Although there is a risk that the Renminbi may be devalued again against US Dollar or other currencies it ispossible that the Renminbi may appreciate as a result of it being permitted to continue on a full or limitedfree float. Such circumstances could have an adverse effect on the Enlarged Group’s business and operatingresults. In addition, financial markets in many Asian countries have in the past experienced severe volatility.As a result some Asian currencies have been subject to significant devaluation from time to time. Thedevaluation of some Asian currencies may have the effect of rendering exports from China more expensiveand less competitive. An appreciation in the value of the Renminbi could have a similar effect. To increasecompetitiveness, there is pressure on the PRC Government to devalue the Renminbi. Such devaluation of theRenminbi could result in volatility within Asian currency and capital markets.

Under the current regulations on foreign exchange control in China, FIEs are allowed to distribute theirprofits or dividends in foreign currencies to foreign investors through designated foreign exchange bankwithout the prior approval of the SAFE. However, the exchange of the Renminbi into foreign currencies forcapital items such as direct investment, loans and security investment is under strict control and requires theapproval of the SAFE. The distribution of the Enlarged Group’s profits and dividends may be adverselyaffected if the PRC Government imposes greater control on the ability of the Renminbi to exchange intoforeign currencies. There can be no assurance that the Enlarged Group will be able to obtain sufficientforeign exchange to pay dividends or satisfy other foreign exchange requirements in the future.

Exchange rate risk

The Company’s share price will be quoted in £ sterling. However, the market for its products and servicesare denominated in RMB. As a result, movements in foreign exchange rates may cause a mismatch betweenactual returns and investors’ expectations of returns, and also affect the share price.

Volatility of share price

The trading price of the New Ordinary Shares may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a numberof events and factors, Company specific or otherwise, such as variations in operating results, changes infinancial estimates, recommendations by securities analysts, the operating and share price performance ofother companies that investors may deem comparable to the Company, news reports relating to trends in theCompany’s markets and the condition from time to time of the World economy or relevant local economies.These factors may adversely affect the trading price of the New Ordinary Shares, regardless of theCompany’s operating performance.

Realisation of investment

Potential investors should be aware that the value of shares and income from them can go down as well asup, that Admission of the New Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM should not be taken as implying that therewill be a liquid market in the New Ordinary Shares and that the market price of the New Ordinary Sharesmay not reflect the underlying value of the Company. An investment in the New Ordinary Shares may thusbe difficult to realise.

Dependence on key executives and personnel

Zhong Tian depends upon the expertise and continued service of certain key executives and other personnel,and in particular the Chief Executive, Charles Huang. In addition, Zhong Tian’s ability to expand itsoperations to accommodate its anticipated growth may also depend on its ability to attract and retainadditional qualified personnel. If Zhong Tian is unable to attract and retain such personnel, it may be difficultfor it to manage its business and meet its objectives, and its financial condition may be adversely affected.

Seasonality of sales and dependence on timeliness of suppliers

Zhong Tian experiences seasonality in its sales which affect its net working capital cash balances. Inaddition, production and sales can be delayed due to delays in the delivery of raw material from its suppliers.

Company strategy

The beliefs of the Directors and the Proposed Directors are based on the Enlarged Group achieving its statedstrategy. There is no certainty that the strategy devised by management can be successfully implemented.

Major contracts

Zhong Tian’s trading agreements are governed by PRC law. No absolute guarantee can be given that theexisting contracts would not be breached by major suppliers or major distributors or would be renewed uponexpiration.

Further, absolute guarantee cannot be given as to the success Zhong Tian would have in being able to relyupon the terms of existing trading agreements or to enforce the same in event of breach. However, themanagement of Zhong Tian is confident that there are sufficient alternative suppliers and distributors in themarket.

Loss of Licence

Under PRC laws, the minimum required registered capital for a company such as Zhong Tian operating as amobile phone handset manufacturer is RMB 200 million. The paid-in capital of Zhong Tian as at the datehereof is RMB 30,348,000. According to Zhong Tian’s Articles of Association, Zhong Tian shall contributeits registered capital of RMB 200 million in full by no later than 31 December 2009.

Zhong Tian is at risk of having its business licence withdrawn by the relevant authority, and its certificate ofapproval invalidated, if it does not increase its paid-in capital to the required minimum of RMB 200 millionby 31 December 2009 or fails to obtain a permit for extension of its capital contribution time limit from thecompetent authority.

The Directors and the Proposed Directors believe that the required capital contribution can be made by31 December 2009 from funding available to the Company (including the capitalisation of any profits, bothfrom the year to 30 June 2006 and subsequent years). The capitalisation of any profits may however have aneffect on the Company’s ability to pay dividends in the short term.

Competition

The market for telecommunication equipment generally in the PRC is very competitive. The Directors andProposed Directors believe that the principal competitive factors are:

Functions and designs, performance/cost ratio, brand name recognition, distribution, after sales service, shortlead time in product development and product quality.

Zhong Tian is currently competing with both foreign and local companies including Nokia, Motorola,Samsung, Bird, Haier, Amoi, Konka and Lenovo.

Intellectual Property Rights

Zhong Tian has applied for design patent protection in the PRC for all the handset models currently on salebeing 46 in total, of which 8 have been granted. The Proposed Directors have no reason to believe that theremaining design patent applications will not be granted. The company has also developed important know-

34

how and confidential information in relation to its business. It is possible that third parties may copy thedesigns of the handsets and other rights. To the extent that the company can demonstrate that its rights areprotected it may prove necessary for it to take action against infringers which could lead to substantial costsbeing incurred as well as being a very time consuming process for senior management of the company. Anyinfringement actions that may need to be taken have no guarantee of success. Know how and confidentialinformation retains its value only for as long as it remains secret and confidential and disclosure of the samecould have an adverse impact on the company.

The Proposed Directors do not believe that any of the handset models currently in production infringe therights of any third party. The Proposed Directors believe that where it is using third party technology orwhere it is purchasing third party components either it or the third party component supplier is validlylicensed to exploit the relevant technology.

The company has had searches undertaken in relation to design patents but cannot by the nature of the mobiletelephone market undertake truly comprehensive searches in relation to all intellectual property rightsrelating to mobile telephones and their component parts. Accordingly, third parties may assert claims thatthe company has infringed their intellectual property rights. Any such claims, whether they are with merit orotherwise are likely to be expensive and time consuming to defend and/or settle. There is also a risk that ifany action is successful then the company may not be able to continue to use such rights and may need tosource components from others and/or redesign its own products which could also be time consuming andcostly.

The company is a party to agreements with various component suppliers. Each of the contracts with thoseparties deals with responsibility for payment of royalties. The company has no reason to believe that thecomponent suppliers have not paid all royalties due to third parties but if they have not, then it is possiblethat the owners of those licensed rights could make claims against the company for any unpaid royalties.

Insurance

The insurance policies in place as from Admission are considered by the Proposed Directors to beappropriate and adequate taking into account the nature and scale of Zhong Tian’s activities and Chinesebusiness practice. However, due to the limited availability of insurance products in the PRC, the insurancecover obtained may not be of the same standard as one would expect of a UK domestic business.

Forward-looking statements

Certain statements in this document may constitute forward-looking statements relating to such matters asprojected financial performance, business prospects, new products and services and similar matters. Avariety of factors could cause the Company’s actual results and experience to differ materially from theanticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company’s forward looking statements.

Investment Risk

Potential investors should be aware that the value of shares can go down as well as up and that an investmentin a share which is to be traded on AIM may be less realisable and may carry a higher degree of risk than aninvestment in a share quoted on the Official List of the United Kingdom Listing Authority. The price whichinvestors may realise for their holding of New Ordinary Shares, and when they are able to do so, may beinfluenced by a large number of factors, some of which are specific to the Company and others of which areextraneous.

The risk factors listed above do not necessarily comprise all those associated with an investment in theCompany.

Notes to the financial information

1. General

The principal activity of Praise Ease is the holding of investments.

Praise Ease was incorporated on 14 March 2005 in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

The only subsidiary of Praise Ease at 30 June 2006 is Shenzhen Zhong Tian CommunicationEquipments Limited (Zhong Tian).

2. Basis of preparation

The financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention, which are measuredat fair values and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and InternationalFinancial Reporting Interpretations Committees interpretations (IFRIC) (collectively IFRSs) issuedby the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The preparation of financial information in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain criticalaccounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities anddisclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial information and the reportedamounts of revenue and expenses during the relevant period. Although these estimates are based uponmanagement’s best knowledge of current event and actions, actual results may differ from thoseestimates.

3. Accounting policies

The following principal accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the RelevantPeriod in dealing with items, which are considered material in relation to the financial information:

(a) Basis of consolidation

The directors are of the opinion that consolidated financial statements of the Group will presentmore fairly the results and state of affairs of the Group if the merger method of consolidationis adopted. Under the merger method, the Group financial statements merge the financialstatements of Praise Ease and its subsidiary undertakings as if they had always been so owned.On this basis, Praise Ease has been treated as the holding company of its subsidiary companiesfor the financial years presented rather than from the date of its acquisition.

All significant inter-company transactions and balances within the Group are eliminated in thepreparation of the consolidated financial statements.

(b) Impairment of non-financial assets

Impairment tests on goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful economic livesare undertaken annually on 30 June. Other non-financial assets are subject to impairment testswhenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not berecoverable. Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount (ie. the higherof value in use and fair value less costs to sell), the asset is written down accordingly.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, theimpairment test is carried out on the asset’s cash generating unit (ie. the lowest group of assetsin which the asset belongs for which there are separately identifiable cash flows).

Impairment charges are included in the administrative expenses line item in the incomestatement, except to the extent they reverse gains previously recognised in equity.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

(c) Foreign currencies

Except for the accounting treatment of paid-in capital, foreign currency transactions aretranslated into Renminbi (RMB) at the exchange rates stipulated by People’s Bank of China(“the stipulated exchange rates”) on the first day of the month in which the transactions tookplace. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheetdate are translated into RMB at the stipulated exchange rates at the balance sheet date.Exchange differences arising from these translations are expensed, except for those attributableto foreign currency borrowings that have been taken out specifically for the construction offixed assets, which are capitalised as part of the fixed asset costs.

Contributions to paid-in capital made in foreign currencies are translated into the RMBdenominated paid-in capital account at the stipulated exchange rates at the contribution dates.Translation differences arising from the use of different exchange rates to translate the relevantassets and paid-in capital are recorded as capital surplus.

(d) Financial assets

The Group classifies its financial assets into one of the following categories, depending on thepurpose for which the asset was acquired. The Group’s accounting policy for each category isas follows:

Loans and receivables: These assets are non-derivative financial assets with fixed ordeterminable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise principally throughthe provision of goods and services to customers (trade debtors), but also incorporate othertypes of contractual monetary asset. At each balance sheet date subsequent to initialrecognition, they are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less anyidentified impairment losses.

(e) Financial liabilities

Trade payables and other short-term monetary liabilities, which are recognised at amortisedcost.

Bank borrowings, which are initially recognised at the amount advanced net of any transactioncosts. Such liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interestrate method, which ensures that any interest expense over the period to repayment is at aconstant rate on the balance of the liability carried in the balance sheet. Interest expense in thiscontext includes initial transaction costs and premium payable on redemption, as well as anyinterest or coupon payable while the liability is outstanding.

(f) Leased assets

Where substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of a leased asset havebeen transferred to the Group (a finance lease.), the asset is treated as if it had been purchasedoutright. The amount initially recognised as an asset is the present value of the minimum leasepayments payable over the term of the lease. The corresponding lease commitment is shown asa liability. Lease payments are analyzed between capital and interest. The interest element ischarged to the income statement over the period of the lease and is calculated so that itrepresents a constant proportion of the lease liability. The capital element reduces the balanceowed to the lessor.

Where substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership are retained by thelessor, (an operating lease.), the total rentals payable under the lease are charged to the incomestatement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The land and buildings elements of property leases are considered separately for the purposesof lease classification.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

(g) Employee benefits

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution retirement plans are recognised as anexpense in the income statements as incurred.

(h) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment.

Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset,as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the itemwill own to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repair andmaintenance costs are charged to the income statement during the financial year in which theyare incurred.

An asset is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if its carrying amount is higherthan the asset’s estimated recoverable amount.

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated at rates sufficient to write off their cost net ofexpected residual value over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The usefullives and residual value are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.The principal annual rates are as follows:

Buildings 4.5%Machinery 18%Motor vehicles 18%Furniture, fixtures and equipment 18%

Construction in progress for production, rental or administrative purposes, or for purposes notyet determined, are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. No depreciation isprovided in respect of construction in progress. Cost includes professional fees and, forqualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Group’s accountingpolicy. When the assets are ready for their intended use, they are transferred to the appropriateasset category at which time depreciation commences and is provided at the rate relevant to thatasset category.

The gain or loss on disposal of a fixed asset is recognised in the income statement.

(i) Interests in leasehold land held for own use under operating leases

Interests in leasehold land held for own use under operating leases represent up-front paymentsto acquire long-term interest in lessee-occupied properties. These payments are stated at costand are amortised over the lease term on a straight-line basis to the income statement.

(j) Inventories

Inventories are initially recognised at cost, and subsequently at the lower of cost and netrealisable value. Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costsincurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

First-in-first-out cost is used to determine the cost of ordinarily interchangeable items.

(k) Income taxes

Income taxes for the year comprise current tax and deferred tax. Current tax is based on theprofit or loss from ordinary activities adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowablefor income tax purposes and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted orsubstantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

(k) Income taxes (continued)

Deferred tax arises from temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets andliabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for tax purposesand is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Except for recognised assets andliabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profits, deferred tax liabilities arerecognised for all temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent thatit is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporarydifferences can be utilised. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates expected to apply in theperiod when the liability is settled or the asset is realised based on tax rates that have beenenacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date.

Income taxes are recognised in the income statement except when they relate to items directlyrecognised in equity in which case the taxes are also directly recognised in equity.

(l) Revenue recognition

Revenue from sales of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership ofthe goods are transferred to the customer, when the group neither retain continuing managerialinvolvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over goodssold, when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow tothe group and when the relevant amount of revenue and costs can be measured reliably.

Revenue from provision of service is recognised when services are rendered in accordance withthe terms of service contracts and in stages as separately identifiable phases of a project arecompleted. Foreseeable losses on projects in progress are recognised in full when identified.

(m) Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Group has alegal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, which will probably result inan out flow of economic benefits that can be reasonably estimated.

Where it is not probable that an out flow of economic benefits will be required, or the amountcannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless theprobability of out flow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, the existence ofwhich will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more futureevents, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of out flow ofeconomic benefits is remote.

The Group is exposed through it operations to one or more of the following risks:

• Foreign currency risk

• Liquidity risk

• Credit risk

The policy for managing these risks is set by the board. The policy for each of the above risks isdescribed in more detail below.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign exchange risk arises because the Group sold its products to overseas markets which thetransactions are denominated in US dollars or HK dollars. However, since the overseas sales amountaccounts for an insignificant portion of total sales, the foreign currency risk exposure is notsignificant.

Liquidity risk

Cash budgets are set out in advance, enabling the Group’s cash requirements to be anticipated. TheGroup maintains good relationships with the major banks locally and foresees no difficulties in raisingnew bank borrowings, if needed, to meet planned future cash requirements and short-term cashshortages.

Credit risk

The Group is mainly exposed to credit risk from credit sales. It is the Group’s policy, implemented bythe group’s management, to assess the credit risk of the new customers before entering contracts. TheGroup closely monitors the creditability of its existing customers and will require the advancepayment if necessary. The Group will terminate business with customers with a poor credit history.The Group’s management considers the above measures to be sufficient to control the credit riskexposure.

The Group does not enter into complex derivatives to manage credit risk.

The Share Option Plan is an unapproved share option plan. The Share Option Plan doesnot benefit from the same tax treatment as an Enterprise Management Incentives (EMI) plan.

The exercise of an Option may be conditional upon such objective performance criteria as shall bedetermined by the board of the Company, in its absolute discretion.

The price per share payable on exercise of an Option shall be determined by the board of the Companybut shall not be less than the greater of a) the average of the middle-market quotations of a fully-paidordinary share in the capital of the Company (“Share”) as derived from the prices quoted on AIM forthe Shares in question for the 10 dealing days immediately preceding the date of grant and b) themiddle-market quotation of the Share as derived from the prices quoted on AIM for the date of grant(which in relation to an Option granted with effect from the date of initial admission of the sharecapital of the Company to AIM shall be deemed to be the introduction price per share at which suchshare capital is admitted to AIM) and c) in the case of a right to subscribe for a Share pursuant to theShare Option Plan or any other share option or share incentive plan (“Subscription Option”), anominal value of the Share.

6.3 Eligibility

The board of the Company shall have an absolute discretion as to the selection of persons to whoman Option is granted. An Option shall not be granted to any person unless he is an Executive.

An Option shall not be granted to any person within the period of 6 months ending with a date onwhich that person is bound to retire in accordance with the terms of his contract of employment orletter of appointment.

No Option shall be granted to a director of the Company unless such a grant has been approved bythe remuneration committee of the Company (or such other committee to which the Company maydelegate responsibility) (“Committee”).

6.4 Timing of awards

An Option may only be granted at any time within the period of 42 days beginning with the date onwhich the Share Option Plan is approved by shareholders at a general meeting (“CommencementDate”) and thereafter during the period of 42 days following the date of notification to the LondonStock Exchange of the annual or half-yearly results of the Company and within a period of 14 daysimmediately after the person to whom is granted becomes an Executive and/or at any other time, onlyif the Committee considers the circumstances to be exceptional.

18 Material changes

18.1 Save as set out in Parts I and IV of this document and save for the acquisition of Praise Ease, therehas been no material change in the financial or trading position of the Company since 30 June 2006being the date of the last audited accounts of the Company.

18.2 Save as set out in Part V of this document there have been no material changes in the financial ortrading position of Praise Ease since 30 June 2006, being the date of the last audited accounts of PraiseEase.

19 Taxation

The comments set out below are based on existing law and what is understood to be current practice of HMRevenue & Customs. They are intended as a general guide only and apply only to Shareholders who areresident and ordinarily resident in the UK for tax purposes who hold shares as investments, who are theabsolute beneficial owners of those shares, and who are not employees or connected with employees of theCompany.

Any person who is in any doubt as to their tax position or who is subject to taxation in any jurisdictionother than the UK, should consult their own professional advisers immediately.

19.1 Dividends

Dividends paid by the Company will not be subject to withholding tax.

Dividends paid by the Company will carry an associated tax credit equal to one-ninth of the cashdividend paid. An individual Shareholder resident in the UK for tax purposes will be taxable on thetotal of any dividend received and the related tax credit (the “gross dividend”).

The gross dividend forms the “top slice” of an individual’s income for the purposes of ascertainingthe rate of income tax applicable to the gross dividend. To the extent that the gross dividend falls tobe charged at a rate less than the higher rate, the Shareholder will be liable to tax on the gross dividendat the rate of 10 per cent. The tax credit will fully satisfy such Shareholder’s income tax liability inrespect of this part of the gross dividend.

To the extent that the gross dividend falls to be charged at the higher rate, the Shareholder will beliable to tax on the gross dividend at the rate of 32.5 per cent. After taking into account the 10 percent. tax credit, such an individual will be liable to pay additional income tax at the rate of 22.5 percent. of the gross dividend (which is equal to 25 per cent. of the amount of the dividend received).

Subject to certain exceptions, a Shareholder which is a company resident for tax purposes in the UKwill not be taxable on dividends paid by the Company and received by that Shareholder.

19.2 Taxation of Chargeable Gains

A subsequent disposal of the New Ordinary Shares by persons resident or ordinarily resident in theUnited Kingdom in a tax year which gives rise to gains may be liable to capital gains tax (individualsand trustees) and corporation tax (companies). Liability to tax and the rate of tax will depend on theShareholder’s circumstances and the availability of exemptions or allowable losses.

Indexation allowance, which increases the acquisition cost of an asset in line with the rise in the retailprice index, may be available for corporate Shareholders during the period of ownership.

For individuals and trustees, taper relief may be available to reduce the amount of a chargeable gainaccording to how long the asset has been held.

Shares traded on AIM are treated as “unlisted” for the purposes of capital gains tax taper relief andconsequently the New Ordinary Shares may qualify as “business assets” in the hands of individualShareholders, provided the other criteria for qualification are also satisfied.

Rule 25.2(iv)

Generally, a loss realised on the disposal of assets may be set against other gains made during the taxyear or carried forward and set against gains in future tax years.

Different tax treatment applies to persons who trade in securities.

19.3 Inheritance Tax

If any Shareholder is regarded as domiciled in the UK for inheritance tax purposes, inheritance taxmay be payable in respect of the New Ordinary Shares on the death of the Shareholder or on any giftof the New Ordinary Shares, subject to available exemptions and reliefs. Shares traded on AIM aretreated as unquoted for Business Property Relief (BPR) purposes and consequently the New OrdinaryShares may qualify for 100 per cent. BPR if held for 2 years or more, provided the other criteria forqualification are also satisfied.

19.4 Stamp Duty and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax

No stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (“SDRT”) will generally be payable on the issue of the NewOrdinary Shares.
