Completion of the Creditor's Rights Transfer Agreement II is subject to the obtaining of respective necessary approvals from relevant decision-making authorities, such as general meeting(s), shareholders' meeting(s) and/or board meeting(s) by Vendor I, Vendor II and the Purchaser in accordance with laws or the provisions of its articles of associations.

The completion of the Creditor's Rights Transfer Agreement II is not inter-conditional to the completion of the Creditor's Rights Transfer Agreement I.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Vendor II and the Purchaser held its respective board meeting to approve the transactions contemplated under the Creditor's Rights Transfer Agreement II. Other than the Shareholders' approval of the Company as required under the Listing Rules, all conditions precedent have been fulfilled.

Other terms:

Vendor II undertakes that, there are no defects in the title to the Creditor's Rights II, and any third party shall not claim any rights against the Purchaser in respect of the Creditor's Rights II.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ENTERING INTO CREDITOR'S RIGHTS TRANSFER AGREEMENTS:

The creditor's rights to be transferred in accordance with the Creditor's Rights Transfer Agreement I and the Creditor's Rights Transfer Agreement II are mainly receivables of engineering projects. The Group has already used its best endeavors to request the project clients to repay the outstanding fees. However, the project clients expressed the prolonged effect of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has deteriorated their operations and their cash flows, as such, the Board anticipates that the relevant repayments will not be made in the near future. Upon Completion, the transactions will provide a cash inflow for the Group, which will be conducive to the revitalization of the Group's assets, optimization of asset structure, maintenance of liquidity and focus on the development of its principal business.

The Board has also considered the scenario that the Company assigns the creditor's rights to an independent third party. The Company had approached 5 banks for non-recourse factoring loans. However, due to the prevailing market conditions, after a preliminary assessment by the banks, the banks may not be willing to providesuch loans, even if they do, such loans would factor a discount to the net asset value of the creditor's rights and might impose other fees, charges and/or interests, which are worse off compared with the consideration the Purchaser offered. In addition, the Purchaser has a better understanding on the details of the receivables and the project clients, it will save time for due diligence and improve the certainties for the Company in obtaining the payment.

The Directors of the Company (excluding the independent non-executive Directors, who will reach an opinion on the terms of the Creditor's Rights Transfer Agreement I and the Creditor's Rights Transfer Agreement II after taking account into the opinions of the independent financial adviser) are of the opinion that, the terms of the Creditor's Rights Transfer Agreement I and the Creditor's Rights Transfer Agreement II are fair and reasonable, the transactions contemplated thereunder are conducted on ordinary commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The decrease in revenue was mainly caused by the decline in system integration and intelligent terminal sales resulting from the decrease in successful project bids in 2019 by the Company.

3. Commercial approaches

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the basis of the considerations of the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II (the "Considerations"), which have been determined based on the net asset value of the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II after bad debt provisions were made, we have conducted our own search, on a best effort basis, to review comparable transactions in close proximity to the transfer of creditor's rights. Our selection criteria are as follows:

The transactions were made by the companies listing on the HKEX with independent third parties;

The transactions became effective within 1 year from the Latest Practicable Date;

The transactions were in relation to transfers of accounts receivables; and

Sufficient financial information, inter alia, the basis of consideration and the net asset value of accounts receivables, are available on the relevant public documents.

Abstracts of the comparable transactions are set out in the table below:

Based on the results above, the determining factors mainly include assets value of the receivables and the possibility of the collection of the receivables, which per se reflects in the net asset value after bad debt provisions were made. Therefore, the basis of Considerations is in line with the basis of the considerations adopted in the above comparable transactions. Furthermore, the above has demonstrated that transfer of receivables based on asset value is a conventional fund-raising scheme adopted by corporations.

Having considered the above, we are of the opinion that the transfer of the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II is in the ordinary course of business of the Group, the Creditor's Rights Transfer Agreement I and the Creditor's Rights Transfer Agreement II are on normal commercial terms and the basis of Considerations is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and is in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole from a comparable perspective.

4. Evaluation of the net asset value of the creditor's rights

The Company had made bad debt provisions of the accounts receivables under the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II pursuant to PRC accounting standards. As a result, the net asset values of the accounts receivables under the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II after bad debt provisions made were RMB153,311,928.00 and RMB352,346,262.23 respectively as at 30 November 2020.

The PRC Auditor was appointed by the Company to audit the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II and had issued PRC Auditor's Reports, which are two auditor's reports (Su Guo De Zhuan Shen Zi€ᘽ਷ᅃਖ਼ᄲο[2020] No. 2018 and No. 2019) dated 31 December 2020. According to the PRC Auditor's Reports, the carrying balances of the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II were RMB166,643,400.00 and RMB379,235,422.77 as at 30 November 2020 respectively. Bad debt provisions were made based on the receivable aging, and the net asset values after bad debt provisions made were RMB153,311,928.00 and RMB352,346,262.23 respectively.

The considerations of the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II are RMB153,311,928.00 and RMB352,346,262.23 respectively, which match the corresponding audited net asset values and have been arrived at arm's length negotiation between Vendor I and the Purchaser as well as between Vendor II and the Purchaser.

We have reviewed the qualifications of the PRC Auditor. Based on the business license and the qualification certificate authorized by the Department of Finance of Jiangsu Province €Ϫᘽ޲ৌ݁ᝂin the PRC Auditor's Reports, the PRC Auditor is authorized to, inter alia, audit corporate financial statements and issue audit reports. The details of qualification are also available on the website of the Department of Finance of Jiangsu Province at http:// czt.jiangsu.gov.cn.

We have performed due diligence on the audited results of the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II regarding, among other things, the basis of the relevant accounting treatments adopted by the Company and the relevant accounting regulations in PRC accounting standards. According to the 2019 Annual Report, the rates applied to the bad debt provisions of engineering from non-related party and sales receivables are based on the accounts receivable aging. We have learned from the past annual reports of the Companythat the relevant accounting treatments have not changed for the past 7 years. Details of which are as follows:

Aging

Provision Proportion

Within 1 year

4.00%

1 to 2 years

8.00%

2 to 3 years

30.00%

Over 3 years

100.00%

In assessing the appropriateness of the accounting treatments, we have reviewed the PRC accounting regulations for enterprises (the "Accounting Regulations") issued by the Ministry of Finance of the People's Republic of China €ʕ਷ɛ͏΍ձ਷ৌ݁௅ which is available on its website athttp://kjs.mof.gov.cn/kuaijifagui/200806/t20080618_46254.htm. Based on the Accounting Regulations article 53, companies are allowed to decide the rate of bad debt provision upon own management judgement, set a 100% provision on receivables aged over 3 years, and they are required to clearly state the accounts receivable aging and the method for calculating the bad debt provision. As a result, it is in our opinion that the accounting treatments of the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II are appropriate and in line with the prevailing relevant accounting regulations.

We have also cross-checked the bad debt provisions by conducting our own calculations based on the abovementioned accounting treatments adopted by the Company and the aging of relevant receivables stated in the PRC Auditor's Reports. As such, the formula of the sum of the bad debt provisions is as follows:

A x B + A1 x B1 + A2 x B2

  • A, A1, A2 = amount of the corresponding receivable aging

  • B, B1, B2 = corresponding provision proportion adopted by the Company set out in the table above

Details of the bad debt provisions of the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II are set out as follows:

In addition, we have also reviewed the audited bad debt provision of the Creditor's Rights I as at 31 December 2019, 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2017 stated in the same section. Moreover, its is learnt from the management of the Company that all bad debt provisions are reviewed annually after the financial year end date of 31 December. As a result, we are of the opinion that such provision was in line with the aforementioned accounting treatments of the Company and concur the provision made as at 31 December 2019 was the same as at 30 November 2020.

Based on the said formula, the total bad debt provisions of the Creditor's Rights Transfer Agreement II as at 30 November 2020 was approximately RMB26.89 million, which matches the audited result stated in the section "Details of the Creditor's Rights II to be disposed" in the Circular.

Similar to the Creditor's Rights I, we have also reviewed the audited bad debt provisions of the Creditor's Rights II as at 31 December 2019, 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2017 stated in the same section and have learnt from the management of the Company that all bad debt provisions are reviewed annually after the financial year end date of 31 December. As a result, we are of the opinion that such provisions were in line with aforementioned accounting treatments of the Company and concur the provisions made as at 31 December 2019 were the same as at 30 November 2020.

Having considered the above, we concur the accounting treatments adopted in the PRC Auditor's Reports, inter alia, the rates and formula of bad debt provisions, are in line with the accounting practice of the Company in arriving the net asset values of the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II after bad debt provisions were made. As a result, the Consideration is fair and reasonable as far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned as a whole from the accounting perspective.

5. Evaluation from cost of funding perspective

We reckon that despite the provisions were made in accordance with PRC accounting standards, it does not affect the legal rights for the Company to collect the receivables in full pursuant to the terms and conditions of each contract. Alternatively, we view that the transfer of creditor's rights for a cash inflow is de facto non-recourse receivable factoring, and we evaluate the fairness of the transfer of the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II under a similar background.

In a factoring scenario, the transactions contemplated equal to a borrower borrows RMB505,658,190.23 (the sum received under the transfer of the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II in this case) and repays RMB545,878,822.77 (the aggregate carrying balance of the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II in this case) after certain period of time. The difference of RMB40,220,632.54 between the numbers above would be regarded as the imputed interest payment and thus the total imputed interest rate would be approximately 7.95% of the sum borrowed of RMB505,658,190.23.

According to the 2020 Interim Report, the secured bank borrowings of the Group were repayable within 3 years and the annual interest rates were between 4.9% and 5.35%. However, the Group would still be required to top up any differences between the amount received from liquidating the assets and the amount borrowed, if defaulted. Under the transfer of the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II to the Purchaser, Vendor I and Vendor II would not be liable to top up any differences between the actual amount received and the carrying balance of receivables under the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II, hence, such transfer of creditor's rights is on a non-recourse basis. However, we continue to reference to the high end of the interest rate that the Group was paying at 5.35% per annum for prudent sake.

Based on the annual interest rate that the Group was paying at 5.35% per annum, the said 7.95% would be equal to a borrowing period of approximately 1.49 years. With this time frame serves as a benchmark, the Company would be in a better financing situation under the transfer of the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II if the aggregate carrying balance under the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II of RMB 545,878,822.77 be fully repaid after 1.49 years from their respective debtors, or be in a worst-off situation if it is less than 1.49 years.

In this regard, we understand from the management of the Group and pursuant to the terms of each of the contracts of the projects under the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II that the uncollected receivables upon the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II do not have definitive repayment schedules specified in the contracts. Given the fact that the rights to request for payments are subject to the actual progress of the relevant engineering projects and the repayments depend on the funding schedule of the government, as the case may be, the management of the Group cannot ascertain the repayment timeframe of the receivables in question. Based on the above, we consider the transfer of the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II to the Purchaser would be in a better financing situation for the Group. In addition, the Group could revitalize and optimize the asset structure of the Group by deposing potentially bad debts for an acceptable cash amount.

Having considered (i) the discount arising from the bad debt provisions borne by the Group of RMB40,220,632.53 only represents 1.49 years of interest payment from a factoring scenario based on the prevailing interest rate paid by the Group; (ii) the management of the Group cannot ascertain the repayment timeframe of the receivables in question; (iii) the transfer of the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II would be in a better financing situation of the Group compared with receivable factoring and could revitalize and optimize the asset structure of the Group, we are of the opinion that the terms under the transfer of the Creditor's Rights Agreement I and the Creditor's Rights Agreement II are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole from the financing cost analysis perspective.

6. Reasons for and benefits of the transfer of creditor's rights

With reference to the letter from the Board in the Circular, the Board is of the opinion that there are uncertainties in collecting the payments of receivables of such engineering projects, and thus the entering into the Creditor's Rights Transfer Agreement I and the Creditor's Rights Transfer Agreement II is considered to be in the interests of the Company due to the provision of a cash inflow for the Group, which will be conducive to the revitalization of the Group's assets, optimization of asset structure, maintenance of liquidity and focus on the development of its principal business.

As mentioned in the 2020 Interim Report and the 2019 Annual Report, the Company largely reduced its cash level from approximately RMB532.96 million to RMB163.44 million, which was mainly due to, inter alia, the Group's acquisition of Nanjing Dongbang Equipment Co., Ltd.* €یԯਗԞༀ௪Ϟࠢʮ̡ in the year ended 31 December 2019. The level of accounts receivables is much higher than that of cash at bank and on hand. As of 30 June 2020, the accounts receivable was approximately RMB979.07 million while the cash at bank and on hand was approximately RMB154.16 million. As a result, we concur that the Considerations of approximately RMB505.66 million will be conducive to optimize the asset structure of the Company by transforming the accounts receivables into a cash inflow.

As mentioned in the section " 5. Evaluation from cost of funding perspective" in this letter, and we have discussed with the management of the Group and noted that the Company has already used its best endeavors, inter alia, via phone calls and visits, to request the project clients to repay the outstanding fees. However, the project clients expressed the prolonged effect of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has deteriorated their operations and their cash flows. Also, other than the clients which are per se project companies dedicated to single project, the Company has decided not to engage in new businesses with the clients in relation to the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II until their credibility is improved. Such internal credit policy is in line with the decision to transfer the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II that after considering both recoverability of the specific project receivables and the credit worthiness of corresponding clients, the management of the Company believes the transfer of the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II is beneficial to the Company.

With reference to the letter from the Board in the Circular, we have learned that the Board has also considered the scenario that the Company assigns the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II to an independent third party. In fact, the Company had approached 5 banks for non-recourse factoring loans. However, due to the prevailing market conditions, the banks may not be willing to provide such loans, even if they do, they would factor a discount to the net asset value of the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II and might impose other fees, charges and/or interests and thus the preliminary assessment on such offer is worse off compared with the considerations offered by the Purchaser. In contrast, given the Purchaser already has a better understanding on the details of the receivables and the project clients, it will save time for due diligence and improve the certainties for the Company in collecting payment.

As such, taking into account (i) the transfer of the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II could revitalize and optimize the asset structure of the Group; (ii) the Group has used its best endeavors to request for the repayments upon the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II; (iii) the Group has decided not to engage in new businesses until the relevant clients have improved their credibility; and (iv) the higher costs of transferring to independent third parties, we are of the view that the background of the Creditor's Rights Transfer Agreement I and the Creditor's Rights Transfer Agreement II are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

7. Possible financial effects of the transfer of creditor's rights

Set out below is the summary of financial effects upon completion of the transfer of the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II. It should be noted that the analyses below are for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will be upon the Completion.

Earnings:

With reference to the letter from the Board in the Circular, it is not expected to have any financial impact on the Company due to the fact that the Considerations are equal to the audited net asset values as at 30 November 2020.

Total assets value:

As stated in the sections "Financial and business overview of the Group" and "Reasons for and benefits of the transfer of creditor's rights" above, the total asset value, cash at bank and on hand and accounts receivable of the Company as at 30 June 2020 were approximately RMB4.46 billion, RMB154.16 million and RMB979.07 million, respectively.

Upon completion, it is presumed that the asset structure will be improved that the total asset value of the Company will remain at the same level, but cash at bank and on hand be will be approximately RMB659.82 million, as calculated by adding up theConsiderations and the cash at bank and on hand as at 30 June 2020; and accounts receivable will be approximately RMB473.42 million, as calculated by subtracting the Considerations from accounts receivable.

We are of the view that the transfer of the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II will have an overall positive financial effect on the Group and be in the interest of the Group and its Shareholders as a whole.

RECOMMENDATION

Having taken into consideration the factors and reasons as stated above, we are of the opinion that:

  • (i) the terms of the Creditor's Rights Transfer Agreement I and the Creditor's Rights Transfer Agreement II are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable;

  • (ii) the transfer of receivables based on asset value is an adopted commercial practice and is in line with comparables;

  • (iii) the net asset values of the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II after bad debt provisions made are fair and reasonable;

  • (iv) the transfer of creditor's rights is fair and reasonable from a financing cost analysis perspective to ascertain the cash inflow timeframe;

  • (v) the cash at bank and on hand of the Company dropped largely by approximately 69.33% on a year-over-year basis as at 31 December 2019 and remained at the similar cash level since then; and

  • (vi) the transfer of the Creditor's Rights I and the Creditor's Rights II could revitalize and optimize the asset structure of the Group;

As such we consider the Creditor's Rights Transfer Agreement I, the Creditor's Rights Transfer Agreement II and the transactions contemplated thereunder are in the ordinary and usual course of business, on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favor of the resolution(s) to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Creditor's Rights Transfer Agreement I, the Creditor's Rights Transfer Agreement II and the transactions contemplated thereunder and we recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favor of the resolution(s) in this regard.
