Under each Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Consideration will be settled in four tranches (except for Hebei Guowei SPA, which will be settled in five tranches) by cash, details of which are set out as follows:
-
First tranche:
The first tranche (10%) of the Consideration shall be payable by the Purchaser into the Escrow Account within 10 Business Days after (a) the relevant Sale and Purchase Agreement having been entered into and taken effect and (b) the satisfaction of all Part A(1) Conditions (whichever is later).
The amounts held in the Escrow Account shall be released to the designated bank account of the relevant Vendor(s) within 10 Business Days after the satisfaction of all Part A(2) Conditions. - Second tranche:
The second tranche (50%) of the Consideration shall be payable by the Purchaser to the relevant Vendor(s) within 10 Business Days upon (a) the satisfaction of all of Part B Conditions and (b) the completion of the Transitional Period Audit of the relevant Target Company (whichever is later). - Third tranche:
The third tranche (20%) of the Consideration shall be payable by the Purchaser to the relevant Vendor(s) within 10 Business Days upon confirmation by the Purchaser of the completion of the remedial steps (''Remedial Steps'') relating to certain defects in the construction projects of the Target Company as set out in the relevant Sale and Purchase Agreement.
- 5 -
-
Fourth tranche:
The fourth tranche (20%) (except for Hebei Guowei SPA, which refers to 10%) of the Cash Consideration shall be payable by the Purchaser to the relevant Vendor(s) within 10 Business Days upon confirmation by the Purchaser of the completion of the Remedial Steps as regards the remaining defects as set out in the appendices to the relevant Sale and Purchase Agreement.
If any of the Remedial Steps as regards the remaining defects remain outstanding as at the deadline stipulated in the relevant Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser shall pay to the relevant Vendor(s) the fourth tranche amount, deducting any equivalent amount(s) corresponding to the outstanding matter(s) stipulated in the appendices to the Sale and Purchase Agreement within 10 Business Days from the deadline as stipulated in the appendices to the relevant Sale and Purchase Agreement. - Fifth tranche (for Hebei Guowei SPA only):
Under the Hebei Guowei SPA, the remaining 10% of the Consideration shall be payable one year after the date of Completion, if the Purchaser is satisfied that there is no breach of the Hebei Guowei SPA by the relevant Vendor (namely, Shijiazhuan Yakai). In the event of any breach of the Hebei Guowei SPA on the part of Shijiazhuang Yakai, the Purchaser is entitled to deduct from such 10% of the Consideration any damages and compensation arising from such breach.
The abovementioned payment mechanism (including the payments of the third to fourth (or fifth, for Hebei Guowei SPA) tranche Consideration after Completion) was determined between the parties upon arm's length negotiations, having taken into account, among other things, the following factors:
- there are a number of outstanding matters in the Sale and Purchase Agreements concerning the Target Companies which require the Vendors to take certain Remedial Steps and rectify, whilst such Remedial Steps may require approximately one to three months to complete;
- 6 -
- as disclosed in the ''Reasons for and Benefits of the Disposals - Working capital needs and reducing debt level'' section below, the Company has immediate financing needs to meet its existing obligations due in the near future and the earlier settlement of the first and second tranche of the Consideration would help the Company meet its immediate cash-flow needs prior to completion of all such Remedial Steps; and
- the Company has taken into account the financial results of CNNP, the parent company of the Purchaser and a company listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, as disclosed in the section headed ''Information on the Purchaser'' below and considered that the Purchaser should have sufficient financial resources to settle the Consideration in full.
In addition, pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreements, in the event that the Purchaser fails to pay any part of the Consideration (including any deferred Consideration for the second to fourth (or fifth, in the case of Hebei Guowei SPA) tranche of Consideration after Completion) within 30 days after the relevant amount(s) become due, the Purchaser shall:
- return to the relevant Vendor(s) all the Target Equity Interests that have already been transferred pursuant to the relevant Sale and Purchase Agreements; and
- pay the relevant Vendor(s) damages, including (a) an interest at an annual rate of 8% (calculated with reference to the outstanding amounts); (b) compensation with respect to the actual loss incurred by the Vendor(s) directly resulting from the breach on the part of the Purchaser; and (c) an additional amount of 20% of such actual loss incurred by the Vendor(s) as additional compensation.
The Board, having reviewed the state-owned background of the Purchaser and the financial results of CNNP, considered that the compensation mechanism described above would provide sufficient safeguards to the Vendor(s)'s interests in the Disposals. Therefore, the Board is satisfied that the payment terms as set out above are fair and reasonable, and are in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Basis of the | The aggregate Consideration was arrived at after arm's length | |||
Consideration: | negotiations between the Purchaser and the relevant Vendors, | |||
which is calculated according to the following formula: | ||||
Consideration = (1) + (2) - (3) + (4) - (5) + (6), where: | ||||
(1) | the business enterprise value of the Target Companies as at | |||
30 | June | 2019 of approximately RMB3,867 million | ||
(''Business Enterprise Value'') as stated in the valuation | ||||
report (the ''Valuation Report'') of the business enterprise of | ||||
the Target Companies as at 30 June 2019 conducted by an | ||||
independent valuer appointed by the Company, AVISTA | ||||
Valuation Advisory Limited (the ''Valuer''), adopting the | ||||
income approach; | ||||
(for the purpose of the Valuation Report, Business Enterprise | ||||
Value is equivalent to the value of all operating assets, | ||||
including long-term assets (e.g. solar power plants, machinery | ||||
and equipment) and net operating working capital) | ||||
(2) | the total non-operating assets of approximately RMB377 | |||
million of the Target Companies according to the unaudited | ||||
financial statements as at 30 June 2019, including but not | ||||
limited to value-added tax recoverable, restricted bank | ||||
deposits, amount due from the Remaining Group and other | ||||
non-current assets; | ||||

RMB4,155 million of the Target Companies according to |
the unaudited financial statements as at 30 June 2019, including but not limited to bank and other borrowings, amount due to the Remaining Group and other payables of the Target Companies as at 30 June 2019;

-
the dividends payments to the Vendors by the relevant Target Companies of approximately RMB197 million as disclosed in the sub-section headed ''Dividends Payment'' below; and
(Having considered the Business Enterprise Value in the Valuation Report (being item (1)) as one of the referencing factors for determination of the Consideration, and further considered the factors in items (2) to (5), the Board estimated the preliminary consideration for the transfer of the Target Equity Interests as approximately RMB625 million (the ''Estimated Value'')) - having considered the Estimated Value as the initial referencing basis of Consideration for negotiation with the Purchaser, upon rounds of arms' length commercial negotiation between the Vendors and the Purchaser taking into account, among other things, the bulk purchase of the 11 Target Companies, the parties finally agreed to the amount of Consideration of approximately RMB641 million, which is approximately RMB16 million higher than the Estimated Value.

VALUATION
According to the Valuation Report, the fair value (the ''Valuation'') of the Business Enterprise Value of the Target Companies as at 30 June 2019, prepared on an income approach, amounts to RMB3,867 million. In this respect, the Valuation constitutes a profit forecast for the purpose of Rule 14.61 of the Listing Rules (the ''Profit Forecast'') and, accordingly, the requirements under Rules 14.60A and 14.62 of the Listing Rules are applicable to the Disposals.
For the purpose of complying with Rule 14.62 of the Listing Rules, the principal assumptions upon which the Profit Forecast is based are as follows:
- there will be no major changes in the existing political, legal, fiscal and economic conditions in the regions that the Target Companies are operating;
- there will be no major changes in the current taxation law in the countries that the Target Companies are operating, that the rates of tax payable remain unchanged and that all applicable laws and regulations will be complied with;
- 18 -
- Exchange rates and interest rates will not differ materially from those presently prevailing;
- the Profit Forecast has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting estimates (i.e. assumptions and parameters adopted in the Profit Forecast) which have been arrived at after due and careful consideration by the Company's management;
- the availability of finance will not be a constraint on the forecast growth of the Target Companies' operation in accordance with the Profit Forecast;
- the Target Companies will retain and have competent management, key personnel, and technical staff to support their ongoing operation; and
- industry trends and market conditions for related industries will not deviate significantly from economic forecasts including but not limit to market relative factors adopted in the discount rate.
The Board has reviewed the principal assumptions upon which the Profit Forecast was based on and are of the view that the Profit Forecast was made after due care and enquiry. Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (''Deloitte''), the reporting accountant of the Company, has also examined the calculations of the discounted cash flows in which the Valuation prepared by the Valuer is based, which do not involve the adoption of accounting policies in its preparation.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSALS
Previous Disposal and Previously Proposed Subscription
The development of the business of the Group, in particular the construction of the solar power plants in the PRC, was extremely capital intensive. Whilst the Group operates a substantial level of clean energy businesses, one important factor that had hindered the Group's financial performance has been the high level of finance costs (i.e. interest expenses) associated with its high debt level. With reference to the published reports by the Company, the Group recorded finance costs amounting to RMB1,286 million in its 2018 annual report and RMB617 million in its 2019 interim report, respectively. As disclosed in the 2018 annual report and 2019 interim report of the Company, the Group was in a negative net cash position of RMB12,889.3 million and RMB13,014.9 million as at 31 December 2018 and 30 June 2019 respectively.
In light of the recurring financing needs (including the needs to pay off financial expenses) of the Company, back in September 2018, the Company had begun to seek additional capital and contemplate possible disposals in its continued efforts to reduce the overall debt-to-equitylevel, including (i) the Previous Disposal and (ii) the proposed subscription of subscription shares as disclosed in the announcements of the Company dated 30 January 2019, 28 February 2019, 29 March 2019 and 31 March 2019 (the ''Previously Proposed Subscription'').
In respect of the Previous Disposal, on 10 December 2018, Shunfeng Photovoltaic Holdings and Asia Pacific Resources entered into a sale and purchase agreement, pursuant to which Shunfeng Photovoltaic Holdings had sold, and Asia Pacific Resources purchased 100% of the equity interest in Jiangsu Shunfeng Photovoltaic Technology Company Limited. Although all proceeds from the Previous Disposal, which proceeded to completion, were used for the reduction of the Group's debt, it was insufficient to meet the financial need of the Company.
As disclosed in the circular of the Company dated 30 June 2019 in relation to the Previous Disposal, the Company intended to use the net proceeds from the Previous Disposal (after deducting relevant costs and expenses) as follows:
- RMB200 million of the consideration would be used as working capital of the Group (which would not be used to repay the outstanding amount of the third batch of outstanding convertible bonds issued by the Company and held by Peace Link in the principal amount of HK$2,148 million with a maturity date of 15 April 2024 (the ''Third CB''));
- 20 -
- RMB1,745 million of the consideration would be used to repay the relevant payables owed by the previous vendor's wholly-owned subsidiary, Shunfeng Photovoltaic Investments and payable to the disposal group, which were debts borrowed by the PRC Power Generation Business for the purposes of constructing solar power plants, repaying existing loans and interests and supplementing working capital; and
- HK$1,200 million of the consideration would be satisfied through Asia Pacific Resources taking assignment of a loan in the same amount lent to the Company by Sino Alliance Capital Ltd to Asia Pacific Resources.
In relation to (a), the Company has received the consideration of RMB200 million from Asia Pacific Resources, which has been applied to repay debts owed to financial institutions such as Shanghai Dazong Financial Leasing Co., Ltd* (上海大眾融資租賃有 限公司), Cinda Financial Leasing Co., Ltd (信達金融租賃有限公司), COSCO Shipping Leasing Co., Ltd* (中遠海運租賃有限公司), amounting to approximately RMB24.73 million, repayment of debt interest of approximately RMB109.58 million, paying construction payable of relevant creditors, operation and maintenance payables and land tax of approximately RMB65.69 million to CNBM Technology Corporation Limited (中 建材資訊技術股份有限公司), Anyi Construction Group Co., Ltd. (安宜建設集團有限公 司), Hebei Surpass Sun Electric Co., Ltd* (河北追日電氣股份有限公司), IT Electronics Eleventh Design & Research Institute Scientific and Technological Engineering Corporation Limited* (電子產業電子第十一設計研究院科技工程股份有限公司).
In relation to (b), an amount of RMB1.745 billion shall be payable by Asia Pacific Resources within three months after date of completion (namely, before 31 December 2019). The Company expects that such amount will be utilised in accordance with the sale and purchase agreement for the Previous Disposal as disclosed in the circular.
In relation to (c), the Company has already entered into a loan assignment agreement with Sino Alliance Capital Ltd which assigned a debt of HK$1,200 million to Asia Pacific Resources.
Furthermore, as disclosed in the circular, Peace Link entered into a legally binding deed of waiver and undertaking in favour of the Company on 24 March 2019, pursuant to which Peace Link agreed to waive the repayment and redemption obligations of the Company in respect of HK$1,948 million out of HK$2,148 million under the Third CB for no consideration. The Company has received a waiver and commitment deed from Peace Link, which waived the repayment and redemption obligation of the Company of HK$1,948 million under the Third CB.
- 21 -
In respect of the Previously Proposed Subscription, as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 31 March 2019, as there remained conditions that were not fulfilled or waived, and the Company had not received the subscriber's decision to extend the long stop date, and the Previously Proposed Subscription eventually lapsed on 31 March 2019.
Due to the Previously Proposed Subscription lapsed in March 2019, the Company therefore had begun to seek the possibility to dispose of the solar power plants business since April 2019, and published a voluntary announcement on 25 April 2019 on the possible disposal of certain power plants to raise funds for the Group. Having considered various potential buyers who expressed interests, the Company has finally decided that entering into the Disposals with the Purchaser will be most beneficial to the Shareholders' interests as a whole.
Working capital needs and reducing debt level
The Company has recorded a negative net cash position of RMB12,869.7 million as at 31 December 2017, RMB12,889.3 million as at 31 December 2018 and RMB13,014.9 million as at 30 June 2019.
In particular, the Group's negative net cash position of RMB13,014.9 million as at 30 June 2019 included cash and cash equivalents of RMB581.1 million, bank and other borrowings of RMB11,468.9 million, convertible bonds of RMB1,146.3 million, bonds payable of RMB822.1 million and lease liabilities of RMB158.7 million.
As at the date of this announcement, the Company has the following outstanding debt due on or before 31 December 2019, which the debts by the Target Companies are not inclusive:

The Company is in the process of negotiating with the relevant creditors to seek refinancing and/or extension of due dates of the debts listed out in the table above.
As disclosed in this announcement, the Consideration involves payment in cash of approximately RMB641 million. In addition, Dividends Payment of approximately RMB197 million and Relevant Payables of approximately RMB788 million will be paid by the Target Companies to the Remaining Group in cash. As such, the Company expects that the proceeds from the Disposal and such cash payments will help, among other things, the improvement of its balance sheet position by reducing its debt level.
Delay in receiving tariff subsidy and receivables from the State Grid
With reference to the Renewable Energy Law, on-grid tariff of renewable energy power generation projects shall be determined by competent pricing department of the State Council taking into account various factors and in accordance with the principle of promoting the development and utilisation of renewable energy, with timely adjustments made based on the development of technologies utilisation. Under the Renewable Energy Law, the higher costs incurred for purchasing electricity generated by renewable energy as compared to costs calculated on the basis of the average on-grid tariff for electricity generated by conventional energy sources shall be compensated by amounts collected from a renewable energy tariff imposed on the sale of electricity nationwide.
In August 2013, the National Development and Reform Commission (中華人民共和國國 家發展和改革委員會) issued the price reform (Reform [2013] No. 1638) which stipulated that where the benchmark grid price of solar power plant is higher than that of the local coal-fired unit benchmark price, renewable energy development fund (the ''Renewable Energy Development Fund'') shall subsidise enterprises the difference between the benchmarked prices.
Due to limited source of income of the Renewable Energy Development Fund, limited tariff subsidies have been released from the Renewable Energy Development Fund for renewable energy projects over the past two years. As at the date of this announcement, the Company has collected the subsidies for and until around October 2017, with an amount of RMB2,668 million in aggregate; in other words, subsidies for the solar power plants of the Group eligible for renewable energy tariff has been in arrears for nearly two years; and as at 30 June 2019, the Company has a subsidies receivable of RMB2,470 million and receivables on accrued revenue on tariff subsidy from the State Grid of approximately RMB2,142 million from the Group consolidated level and approximately RMB927 million from the Target Companies' level. Given the Company's limited bargaining power with the State Grid, the Company has been unable to take other effective measures to secure repayment of such receivables.
- 25 -
As a result of the delay in receiving tariff subsidies from the State Grid, the Group's operating cash flow has been impacted significantly, it has become necessary for the Company to seek for the possibilities to dispose of certain solar power plants (such as the Target Companies) to mitigate the Group's indebtedness level.
Immediate positive cash inflow
Subsequent to the lapse of the Previously Proposed Subscription and given the above financing needs, the Company needed to source positive cash inflow to meet its current financing needs. The Company has explored and considered other measures to improve the financial positions and operations of the Group, and to cope with the deteriorating cash flow condition of the Group due to delay in receiving trade subsidies and receivables from the State Grid, such as considering various potential buyers who had expressed interests in the assets of the Group.
The Disposals will generate an immediate cash inflow of approximately RMB1,626 million, which would significantly help the Company repay its debts that are due or will become due in approximately six months from the date of this announcement according to the use of proceeds in the section headed ''Use of Proceeds'' below. Besides, due to the substantial investments involved in the Disposals, there are limited potential purchasers who are capable of providing a reasonably sufficient amount of cash to acquire the Target Companies which meets the Company's financing needs, and at the same time ready to invest in the market of solar power plants. After the Board's careful consideration and negotiation with various potential buyers, the Board considered that the offer of the Purchaser is the most viable option and may be carried out in a relatively expeditious manner, and hence in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. As such, the Company eventually decided to proceed with the current Disposals.
Confirmation of the Board
Based on the above, the Board is of the view that the terms of the Disposals (including the Consideration and its terms of payment) are fair and reasonable, and the Disposals are in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSALS
Assuming Completion occurs on or before 30 June 2019 and for illustrative purpose, the Directors assessed that an unaudited loss before taxation from the Disposals of approximately RMB705 million will be recognised, which was determined based on certain factors including mainly the Consideration, the unaudited net asset value of the Target Companies prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as at 30 June 2019, the finance cost having been capitalised at the Group level as at 30 June 2019 and also the relevant terms and conditions of the Disposals, including but not limited to the repayment of Relevant Payables and Dividends Payment to the Vendors.
- 26 -
The Company considered that unaudited loss from the Disposals is primarily attributable to the factors set out below:
-
the operating income generated by the solar power generations of the Target Companies was less than the amount expected by the Company and hence the Company was unable to bargain a higher Consideration:
. in the PRC, the market generally takes 20 years as the determination life of solar power plants as this period represents the longest period for which each solar power plant in the PRC is entitled to subsidy from the PRC government. The solar power plants owned by the Target Companies, on average, still have 15 years as their remaining average life. Due to the restrictions on the supply of electricity in the solar power plants located within the PRC, the actual power generation did not reach the designed capacity of the solar power plants. No government subsidy can be received in respect of the wasted capacity of the solar power plants as a result of the restrictions, which brought negative impact on the income of the Target Companies. In the twelve months immediately preceding the valuation date of the Valuation Report (being 30 June 2019), the average rate of restriction is 8.85%, representing the difference between the maximum designed capacity of the solar power plants and the actual amount of power generated as a result of the restrictions on the supply. This power supply restriction resulted in a corresponding 8.85% decrease in the income generated by the solar power plants owned by the Target Companies as compared to the originally expected income. This contributes to a consequential decrease in the solar power plants' market values amounting to approximately RMB280 million in aggregate;
. in relation to the price of the electricity generated by the relevant solar power plants owned by the Target Companies, the market price was lower than the price originally approved by the National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC by RMB0.1 per kilowatt-hour. This discrepancy led to a corresponding decrease in the Target Companies' income by 9% as compared to the expected value, and hence a consequential decrease in their market values amounting to approximately RMB380 million in aggregate; and - in addition, the delay in receiving tariff subsidy and receivables from the State Grid and other commercial factors including but not limited to a discount due to lack of marketability of the relevant solar power plants resulted in a further difference of approximately RMB45 million.
As the above reasons are inherent in the market of solar power supply within the PRC, the Board considers that the issues stated above may not be adequately resolved in the near future.
- 27 -
Taking into account the above and considering the positive cash inflow to be generated by the Disposals which meets the Company's current financing needs, the Board considered that the Disposals are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
The actual gain or loss arising from the Disposals shall be determined based on the net asset value of the Target Companies as at the date of Completion. The above calculation and accounting treatment are subject to changes on the actual Completion date.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Disposals (after deducting relevant costs and expenses) to repay certain amounts payable of the Remaining Group, including repaying existing loans and interests, costs relating to the power generation business and construction fees, as well as supplementing the working capital of the Remaining Group.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Disposals as follows:
- RMB1,400 million to be used for the repayment of principals and interest of loans due by the Remaining Group, which mainly include Donghai Securities Co., Ltd. (東 海證券股份有限公司), True Bold Global Limited, 19 individual private bond holders, Sino Alliance Capital Ltd. and China Minsheng Banking Corp., Ltd Hong Kong Branch;
- RMB100 million to be used for paying engineering and equipment payables of the Remaining Group's power plant projects;
- RMB100 million to be used in paying the daily operation and maintenance costs, technical renovation costs and land tax; and
- RMB26 million to be used in paying daily management fees and professional fees incurred from this Disposals.

Dear Sirs,
We refer to the announcement of the Company dated 26 November 2019 (the ''Announcement'') of which this letter forms part. Unless the context otherwise requires, terms defined in the Announcement shall have the same meanings when used herein.

We have discussed with the Valuer about different aspects including the bases and assumptions based upon which the Valuation has been prepared, and reviewed the Valuation for which the Valuer is responsible. We have also considered the report dated 26 November 2019 from Deloitte regarding whether the Profit Forecast, so far as the accounting policies and calculations are concerned, have been properly complied with the bases and assumptions as set out in the Valuation Report.
Based on the above, pursuant to Rule 14.62(3) of the Listing Rules, we hereby confirm that the Profit Forecast under the Valuation Report has been made after due and careful enquiry of the Board.

Directors' Responsibility for the Discounted Future Estimated Cash Flows
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the discounted future estimated cash flows in accordance with the bases and assumptions determined by the directors and set out in the section headed ''Valuation'' in the Announcement (the ''Assumptions''). This responsibility includes carrying out appropriate procedures relevant to the preparation of the discounted future estimated cash flows for the Valuation and applying an appropriate basis of preparation; and making estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Our Independence and Quality Control
We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the ''Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants'' issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the ''HKICPA''), which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior.
Our firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 ''Quality Control for Firms that Perform Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance and Related Services Engagements'' issued by the HKICPA and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Reporting Accountants' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on whether the calculations of the discounted future estimated cash flows have been properly compiled, in all material respects, in accordance with the Assumptions on which the Valuation is based and to report solely to you, as a body, as required by Rule 14.62(2) of the Listing Rules, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.
Our engagement was conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised) ''Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information'' issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the assurance engagement to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the discounted future estimated cash flows, so far as the calculations are concerned, have been properly compiled in accordance with the Assumptions. Our work was limited primarily to making inquiries of the Company's management, considering the analyses and assumptions on which the discounted future estimated cash flows are based and checking the arithmetic accuracy of the compilation of the discounted future estimated cash flows. Our work does not constitute any valuation of the business enterprise value of the Target Companies.
- 47 -
Because the Valuation relates to discounted future estimated cash flows, no accounting policies of the Company have been adopted in its preparation. The Assumptions include hypothetical assumptions about future events and management actions which cannot be confirmed and verified in the same way as past results and these may or may not occur. Even if the events and actions anticipated do occur, actual results are still likely to be different from the Valuation and the variation may be material. Accordingly, we have not reviewed, considered or conducted any work on the reasonableness and the validity of the Assumptions and do not express any opinion whatsoever thereon.
Opinion
Based on the foregoing, in our opinion, the discounted future estimated cash flows, so far as the calculations are concerned, have been properly compiled, in all material respects, in accordance with the Assumptions.
