Page 8: CENTILLION ENVIRONMENT & RECYCLING LIMITED€¦ · DEFINITIONS In this Circular, the following definitions apply throughout unless otherwise stated: Assignment Consideration: Shall

2. BACKGROUND

2.1 Description of CI China

The Company holds the entire issued share capital of CI China. CI China is a private limited

company incorporated in Singapore on 21 February 2003 and its principal activities are general

wholesale trading (including general importers and exporters) and being an investment holding

company.

The bulk of the assets of CI China is its shares in its wholly-owned subsidiary, CER Wuxi. CER

Wuxi is a limited liability company incorporated in Wuxi New District, the PRC and is currently

in the business of the collection and recycling of waste in the PRC. CER Wuxi holds the land use

rights of Lot 60-1, Block B of Wuxi National High-Tech Industrial Development Zone, which

comprises an area of 76,394.8 square meters, through to 21 September 2053 (the “High-Tech

Zone Land”).

In June 2009, CER Wuxi completed the construction of the Plant on the High-Tech Zone Land,

which has been in operation since 31 December 2009. The Plant has a built up area of 26,777.48

square metres and comprises 10 buildings (1 administration building, 1 chemical process plant,

1 mechanical plant, 1 warehouse, 1 main guard house and 5 ancillary buildings) and the

construction cost of the Plant and its land use right amounted to approximately RMB 129.6

million.

In the latest completed financial quarter from October 2010 to December 2010, CI China

incurred a loss of S$501,000, solely attributable to CER Wuxi.

2.2 Description of the Purchaser

Win Early Holdings Limited (the “Purchaser”) is a company incorporated in the British Virgin

Islands on 7 January 2008 and it is an investment holding company having its registered office

at P.O. Box 957, Offshore Incorporations Centre, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, and

its correspondence address at 5/F Heng Shan Centre, 145 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong

Kong.

The original shareholder and director of the Purchaser since the date of incorporation was Ms

Sit Kwok Hung, a Chinese National. Ms Sit Kwok Hung subsequently stepped down as director

when she sold the entire paid up share capital of the Purchaser to Ms Chen Xiao on 7 January

2011.

Ms Chen Xiao currently is the sole director and shareholder of the Purchaser with effect from 7

January 2011. She is a Chinese national. Ms Chen Xiao and her family have investments in

companies in the construction industry in China and Ms Chen Xiao is expanding her investment

to the recycling of waste business in China by purchasing CI China through the Purchaser.

At the completion of the Proposed Disposal, Win Early Holdings Limited will hold 100% of the

equity in CI China.

2.3 Background of the Proposed Disposal

The Company had appointed an independent agent, Boom State Investments Limited, a

company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on 2 April 2007 (“Agent”) to solicit potential

interests in buying either the property of CER Wuxi or the equity interest in the CI China Group.

The primary business of the Agent is to provide consultancy services to foreign companies in

China and the sole shareholder and director of the Agent is Ms Zhu Tao, who is a Chinese

national. Ms Zhu Tao was introduced to a director of the Company, Mr Eddie Chng, at a business

meeting in China in early 2009. The Agent was subsequently appointed by the Company in mid

2009 to source for potential buyers to take over the Company’s business in China and the Agent

had been actively looking for a suitable purchaser for the Company since their appointment.

6

Page 9: CENTILLION ENVIRONMENT & RECYCLING LIMITED€¦ · DEFINITIONS In this Circular, the following definitions apply throughout unless otherwise stated: Assignment Consideration: Shall

In late 2010, the Agent initiated and established the discussion relating to the Proposed Disposal

with the Purchaser which concluded with the execution of the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

Although the Company had met earlier in 2009 at a business function, neither the Company nor

the Directors have had any dealings with the Purchaser or its directors or substantial

shareholders prior to the Proposed Disposal.

As the Agent assisted the Company in securing the Purchaser for the Proposed Disposal and

facilitated the agreement between the Company and the Purchaser, the Company had agreed

to pay the Agent a commission equivalent to 10% of the gross consideration (before deduction

of CER Wuxi’s outstanding bank loans) which amounted to RMB 8.5 million (“Commission”).

The Commission is payable by the Company to the Agent upon Completion of the Proposed

Disposal. Ms Zhu Tao is not related to any substantial shareholders or the directors of the

Company.

Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to dispose of 100% of its

equity in CI China and assign the Debt to the Purchaser upon the terms and conditions more

particularly described in paragraph 3 below.

2.4 Rule 1006 of the Listing Manual

The relative figures of the Proposed Disposal, computed according to Rule 1006(a) to (d) of

Chapter 10 of the Listing Manual based on the Company’s latest audited consolidated financial

statements for FY 2010, are as follows:–

Rule 1006 Computations Percentage

Rule 1006(a) Net Asset Value of the assets to be disposed of compared with the

Group’s Net Asset Value1

46.4%1

Rule 1006(b) Net Loss attributable to the asset disposed of compared with the

Group’s net profits2

61.25%2

Rule 1006(c) Aggregate value of the consideration received compared with the

Group’s market capitalization based on the total number of used

shares excluding treasury shares (as at the market day preceding

the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement)3

24.3%3

Rule 1006(d) Number of equity securities issued by the Company as consideration

for the acquisition, compared with the number of equity securities

previously in issue

Not applicable

to a disposal

Notes:

1. The Net Asset Value of the assets to be disposed under the Proposed Disposal is S$11,244,000, compared with

the Group’s Net Asset Value of S$24,215,000.

2. Net loss attributable to CI China Group was S$11.7 million over the Group’s Consolidated Net loss of S$19.1 million.

3. Using the weighted average market price on 13 January 2011, the aggregate value of the consideration received

was S$10,043,000, compared with the Group’s market capitalization based on the total number of used shares

excluding treasury shares of S$41,367,000.

As the relative figures under Rules 1006(a), (b) and (c) above exceed 20%, the Proposed

Disposal constitutes a major transaction by the Group under Chapter 10 of the Listing Manual

and is subject to the approval of the Shareholders.

Page 10: CENTILLION ENVIRONMENT & RECYCLING LIMITED€¦ · DEFINITIONS In this Circular, the following definitions apply throughout unless otherwise stated: Assignment Consideration: Shall

3. PRINCIPAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PROPOSED DISPOSAL

3.1 Sale and Purchase Agreement and Assignment of Debt

3.1.1 Under the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Company will sell and the Purchaser will

purchase the entire issued share capital of CI China.

3.1.2 In addition to the sale of the entire issued share capital of CI China, the Company under

the Sale and Purchase Agreement will also assign the Debt (as defined below) to the

Purchaser upon Completion of the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

The Company had on various occasions provided loans to the CI China Group to fund

their several transactions/investments. These transactions were primarily denominated in

S$ and US$ and the Company had provided the loan in the currency required for the

particular transaction/investment. As at the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, CI

China owes the Company S$28,407,716.74 and US$533,842.44 (the “Debt”).

3.2 Consideration for the Proposed Disposal

3.2.1 Consideration and Assignment Consideration

In the negotiations between the Company and the Purchaser, the Purchaser had agreed

to pay RMB 85 million for CI China without assuming the Loan and the Debt. It is

subsequently agreed between the parties that the Purchaser will buy the entire issued

and paid up share capital of CI China at the consideration of RMB 60 million and

concurrently assuming the Loan of approximately RMB 25 million. The Purchaser had

requested for the consideration of the Proposed Disposal to be structured such that it

shall comprise:–

(i) a cash payment in the sum of S$1.00 by the Purchaser to the Company for the

transfer of the Sale Shares (the “Consideration”); and

(ii) a cash payment in the sum of US$9,105,256 (RMB60 million) by the Purchaser to

the Company for the assignment of the Debt from the Company to the Purchaser

(the “Assignment Consideration”),

to be paid in accordance with the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

The Purchaser has delivered an aggregate sum of US$1,517,542 (RMB10 million) to the

Company as a non-refundable deposit at the time of execution of the Sale and Purchase

Agreement (the “Deposit”). The Deposit shall, at Completion, be available for offsetting

against the Assignment Consideration. Should Completion not take place in accordance

with the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement (other than as a result of any wilful

default on the part of the Company), the Parties agree that the Deposit is not a penalty

but represents a genuine pre-estimate of the loss, damage, inconvenience and

opportunity costs which will be suffered by the Company.

3.2.2 Adjustment of the Assignment Consideration

The Assignment Consideration is subject to certain adjustments in accordance with the

Sale and Purchase Agreement, which provides for, inter alia, the following changes during

the period from the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement to the date of Completion:

(a) all costs, claims, expenses and all other liabilities in respect of, relating to or incurred

by CI China Group;

(b) all revenue earned or accrued to the CI China Group; and

(c) changes in shareholder loan from the Company to CI China Group.

3.2.3 Basis

The consideration for the Proposed Disposal was arrived at after arms’-length

negotiations between the Company and the Purchaser, and on a “willing-buyer, willing-

seller” basis.

The net asset value of the CI China Group was stated in the 30 June 2010 audited

consolidated financials of the Group as S$11,244,000 and was revised to S$8,450,000 as

at 31 December 2010. The reduction in the net assets was principally due to further

operating losses incurred, depreciation of RMB and repatriation of excess cash during the

half year ended 31 December 2010. A breakdown of the depreciation of the net asset

value of CI China Group as reported in the Group’s consolidated balance sheet is set out

below:–

S$’000

Net Asset of CI China Group as at 30 Jun 2010 11,244

Operating losses during half year ended 31 Dec 2010 (971)

Foreign Currency translation difference for CI China Group (1,155)

Repatriation of excess cash from CI China Group (668)1

Net Asset of CI China Group as at 30 Dec 2010 8,450

1. Subsequent to prior financial year ended on 30 June 2010, in August 2010, CER Wuxi refinanced its secured

RMB working capital loan of RMB 15 million (S$3.1 million) with another lender in PRC. The new loan facility

is a revolving credit line for up to RMB 25 million (S$5 million), available until 1 August 2015 and secured

by a mortgage over its land use right and buildings in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, PRC. On 23 August 2010,

CER Wuxi had drawn down the maximum loan quantum of RMB 25 million (S$5 million). Following the

drawdown, from September to December 2010, excess cash of approximately S$668,000 had been remitted

to the Company as repayment against amount owed to the Company.

past three years are set out below:–

The auditors of CI China and CER Wuxi are KPMG LLP Singapore and Fangzheng

Accountants, Co Ltd, Jiangsu, PRC respectively.

Taking into account the net asset value of CI China Group of S$8,450,000 (comprising

assets available for sale of S$13,995,000 (which is inclusive of the non-current assets of

CER Wuxi) less liabilities available for sale of S$5,545,000) as at 31 December 2010, the

Directors are of the opinion that the Consideration and the Assignment Consideration

represents a fair value for the equity interest of CI China and the assignment of the Debt

for reasons stated below:–

(i) CI China Group has been making losses since January 2005 and the accumulated

loss incurred by CI China Group as of 30 June 2010 is approximately S$23 million

(of which included a total loss of S$10,547,000 being provision for impairment of

fixed assets);

(ii) CER Wuxi had not been effective in securing business in China which results in the

significant underutilisation of its invested capacity. If the Company continues to hold

its investment in CI China Group without improving its performance, the Group will

continue to suffer the losses incurred by CI China Group amounting to

approximately S$500,000 per quarter;

10

Page 13: CENTILLION ENVIRONMENT & RECYCLING LIMITED€¦ · DEFINITIONS In this Circular, the following definitions apply throughout unless otherwise stated: Assignment Consideration: Shall

(iii) the Company had been evaluating its options in respect of its investment in CI China

Group since FY2009 and announced its intention to exit the China market and cease

operations in China in May 2010. The Company had been actively seeking for

purchasers interested in taking over its operations in China and/or in buying over CI

China Group. The purchase price offered by the Purchaser for the Proposed

Consideration is the best offer the Company has received; and

(iv) the net asset value of CI China Group is close to the Consideration together with the

Assignment Consideration from the Proposed Disposal.

3.2.4 Valuation

As the bulk of the assets of CI China is in CER Wuxi and the non-current assets of CER

Wuxi represents the bulk of the total assets of CER Wuxi, Jiangsu Jin Ning Da Real

Estate Evaluation and Consultant Co., Ltd (the “Valuer”) was commissioned by CER

Wuxi to conduct an independent professional valuation of the non-current assets

(comprising valuation of High Tech-Zone Land and the Plant) of CER Wuxi.

The Valuer was a Registered Land Appraiser and a Registered Real Estate Appraiser with

the Jiangsu Land Appraisers Society and the Ministry of Housing of Urban-Rural

Development of PRC, respectively.

As at 28 July 2010, the non-current assets of CER Wuxi was estimated to be valued at

approximately RMB128 million (approximately S$25 million). This valuation was arrived at

based on the value of the land use rights of the Property and the value of the real

properties of CER Wuxi. In valuing the land use rights of the Property, the Valuer

considered the tender cost of the Property taking into account market adjustments for

taxes imposed by the relevant authorities and the remaining useful life of the land use

rights. In valuing the real properties of CER Wuxi, the Valuer took into account the

replacement construction cost of the Property (including all fittings) as well as the process

equipment and furniture.

Having considered indicative offers, CI China Group had written down the value of the

assets with CI China Group to their respective estimated net realisable values by S$9.5

million during the year ended 30 June 2010. The aforesaid writing down of the value of

the assets of the CI China Group was approved by the audit committee of the Company

(“Audit Committee”) when the Audit Committee approved the financial statements of the

Company for the year ended 30 June 2010.

3.2.5 Payment

On Completion and against compliance with the provisions of the Sale and Purchase

Agreement, the Purchaser shall deliver payment of the Consideration and the balance of

the Assignment Consideration to the Company by cashier’s order or banker’s draft drawn

on a bank licensed in Singapore and made out in favour of the Company, or in such other

manner as may be agreed between the Company and the Purchaser in writing.

The Parties agreed that all amounts payable under the Sale and Purchase Agreement

shall be payable for value, in the currency of US Dollars. All amounts payable shall be

converted from RMB into US Dollars at the Relevant Exchange Rate.

4. RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION

CI China Group operated at a loss of approximately S$11.7 million for the financial year ended

30 June 2010, and based on the financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2010,

CI China Group has an accumulated loss of approximately S$23 million for the financial year

ended 30 June 2010.

The loss recorded by CI China Group was partly due to CER Wuxi not being able to collect and

process at an optimal level of electronic waste.

The future of the waste recycling industry in the PRC remains uncertain and the Company is not

confident that the prospects of CI China Group will improve in the foreseeable future.

The Board believes that the Proposed Disposal will relieve the Company from further exposure

to the financial losses of CI China Group which amounts to approximately S$500,000 per

quarter. The Board does not expect the Proposed Disposal to disrupt the normal business

operations of the Group, which focus on the USA and Europe.

The Proposed Disposal will enable the Company to reduce its borrowings and to redeploy its

working capital more efficiently towards developing the existing businesses of the Company. It

is in line with the Company’s strategy to unlock the value of its assets and to focus on its core

competencies. The management intends to seek other opportunities that will improve the

earnings of the Group.
