REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE PHYSICAL ASSETS TRANSFER AGREEMENT

In addition, the government's recovery price of the Target Assets is expected to be higher than the evaluated acquisition price of the Target Assets by Guangdong Equipment Company. Therefore, the subsidiary of the Company will obtain clear economic benefits by acquiring and further transferring the Target Assets to the government for storage.
