PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE EGM

In view of the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic and recent requirements for prevention and control of its spread, the Company will implement necessary preventive measures at the EGM to protect attending Shareholders, Directors, proxies and other attendees from the risk of infection, including:

  1. Compulsory body temperature check will be conducted on every Shareholder, proxy and other attendees at the entrance of the EGM venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.2 degrees Celsius, or is exhibiting flu-like symptoms may be denied entry into the EGM venue or be required to leave the EGM venue.
  2. Attendees are required to wear surgical face masks inside the EGM venue at all times, and to maintain a safe distance between seats and as such, the Company may limit the number of attendees at the EGM as may be necessary to avoid over-crowding.
  3. No refreshments or drinks will be served.

Attendees who do not comply with the precautionary measures (1) and (2) above may be denied entry into the EGM venue, at the absolute discretion of the Company as permitted by law, or be required to leave the EGM venue in order to ensure the safety of the attendees at the EGM.

In the interest of all attendees' health and safety, the Company wishes to advise all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the EGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. As an alternative, by using forms of proxy with voting instructions duly completed, the Shareholders may appoint the Chairman of the EGM as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolutions at the EGM instead of attending the EGM in person.

The form of proxy is attached to this circular and can be downloaded from the Company's website (http://www.goodfriend.hk).

- 12 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. Price determination

The price of the CKD Components to be purchased and supplied under the CKD Components Agreement is to be determined by reference to:

  1. the price quotation for the same type of CKD Components (to be updated quarterly during the term of the CKD Components Agreement, or to be updated in other reasonable intervals as agreed between the Company and Taiwan FF) publicly provided by the CKD Components Supplier to its third party customers independent of the CKD Components Supplier; or
  2. in the event that the CKD Components Supplier is unable to determine the price quotation of the CKD Components on the basis stipulated in (i) above for any reason, the reasonable costs incurred by the CKD Components Supplier in producing the relevant CKD Components plus the sales margin adjusted or determined with reference to (a) or (b) below:
    1. the historical price quotation of the same type of CKD Components previously provided by the CKD Components Supplier to its third party customers independent of the CKD Components Supplier; or
    2. failing (a) above, the price quotation of similar CKD Components offered by third party manufacturers independent of the CKD Components Supplier;

provided that reasonable adjustments may be made to such price quotation taking into account factors including the difference in the sales region of the CKD Components, whether aftersales services would be provided and whether discounts would be offered due to increase in sales volume.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company and the CKD Components Purchaser or the CKD Components Supplier designated by the Company will only purchase or supply the relevant CKD Components from Taiwan FF and the CKD Components Suppliers or CKD Components Purchasers designated by Taiwan FF on terms no less favourable to the Group than those which the Group would have obtained from independent third party suppliers or purchasers.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Basis of determining the Proposed Annual Caps

Each of the projected Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the Transactions under the CKD Components Agreement was determined after taking into account factors including the following:

  1. the Group's positive view on the market outlook of the CNC Machine Tools industry;
    • CKD Components are the major components required to assemble and manufacture CNC Machine Tools. In the second quarter of 2020, as the economy of the PRC gradually recovers from the COVID-19 outbreak, there was an approximately 61% year-on-year increase in the orders for CNC Machine Tools produced by the Group.

6. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Taiwan FF is an associate of Hong Kong GF, the controlling shareholder of the Company, and therefore, Taiwan FF is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. The Transactions under the Agreements will be carried out in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and are expected to continue and extend over a period of time. The Transactions therefore constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As both Agreements are entered into by the Company with Taiwan FF, the continuing connected transactions contemplated under the CKD Components Agreement and the CNC Machine Tools Agreement will be aggregated for consideration under the Listing Rules and will be classified according to the larger of the supply transaction or the procurement transactions. For the supply transaction with Taiwan FF under the CKD Components Agreement, the highest applicable percentage ratio based on the Proposed Annual Caps thereof is less than 5%. For the two procurement transactions with Taiwan FF under the Agreements, the highest applicable percentage ratio based on the Proposed Annual Caps thereof, on an aggregated basis, exceeds 25% with an annual consideration of over HK$10 million, which are larger than the supply transaction. Accordingly, the Transactions under the Agreements will be classified according to the higher applicable percentage ratio of the procurement transactions, and all of the Agreements, the Transactions and the Proposed Annual Caps thereunder will be subject to the reporting, annual review, announcement, circular (including independent financial advice) and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Hong Kong GF (held as to 232,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 57.56% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date), Sunward Gold Global Investments Limited (a company held as to approximately 72.22% by Mr. Chu as at the Latest Practicable Date, which held as to 20,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 4.96% of the issued capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date) and any of their respective associates will abstain from voting in relation to the resolutions approving the Agreements, the Transactions and the Proposed Annual Caps thereunder at the EGM.

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL

The Former CKD Components Agreement and Former CNC Machine Tools Agreement

Reference is made to the announcement dated 26 May 2017 and the circular dated 27 June

2017 of the Company in relation to the continuing connected transactions under the Former CKD Components Agreement for the non-exclusive purchase and supply of CKD Components between the Company (or persons designated by the Company) and Taiwan FF (or persons designated by Taiwan FF) and the Former CNC Machine Tools Agreement for the exclusive sale of CNC Machine Tools by Taiwan FF (or persons designated by Taiwan FF) to the Company (or persons designated by the Company), and the rights to exclusive sale of Designated CNC Machine Tools by the Company (or persons designated by the Company) in the Sales Region, both entered into between the Company and Taiwan FF on 26 May 2017 respectively. The Former CKD Components Agreement and the Former CNC Machine Tools Agreement both expired on 12 July 2020. As the Company and Taiwan FF intend to continue to carry out the relevant transactions, the CKD Components Agreement and the CNC Machine Tools Agreement were entered into on 10 July 2020 to renew the above arrangements. For details of the CKD Components Agreement and the Former CNC Machine Tools Agreement, please refer to the paragraph headed ''2. Background of the Agreements'' in this letter.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATION

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Taiwan FF is an associate of Hong Kong GF, the controlling shareholder of the Company, and therefore, Taiwan FF is a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The Transactions under the Agreements will be carried out in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and are expected to continue and extend over a period of time. The Transactions therefore respectively constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As both Agreements are entered into by the Company with Taiwan FF, the continuing connected transactions contemplated under the CKD Components Agreement and the CNC Machine Tools Agreement will be aggregated for consideration under the Listing Rules and will be classified according to the larger of the supply transaction or the procurement transactions. For the supply transaction with Taiwan FF under the CKD Components Agreement, the highest applicable percentage ratio based on the Proposed Annual Caps thereof is less than 5%. For the two procurement transactions with Taiwan FF under the Agreements, the highest applicable percentage ratio based on the Proposed Annual Caps thereof, on an aggregated basis, exceeds 25% with an annual consideration of over HK$10 million, which are larger than the supply transaction. Accordingly, the Transactions under the Agreements will be classified according to the higher applicable percentage ratio of the procurement transactions, and all of the Agreements, the Transactions and the Proposed Annual Caps thereunder will be subject to the reporting, annual review, announcement, circular (including independent financial advice) and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

3. Terms of the Agreements

3.1 CKD Components Agreement

Under the CKD Components Agreement, the Company (or the CKD Components Supplier designated by the Company) may, on a non-exclusive basis, supply CKD Components to Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Purchaser designated by Taiwan

  1. for their production of CNC Machine Tools, which mainly comprise castings, including the counter balance that form the outer surface of the CNC Machine Tools. Meanwhile, the Company (or the CKD Components Purchaser designated by the Company) may also, on a non-exclusive basis, purchase CKD Components from Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Supplier designated by Taiwan FF) for the Company (or the CKD Components Purchaser designated by the Company)'s production of the CNC Machine Tools and these mainly consist of the integral components and parts of the CNC Machine Tools including the spindle head and table. In addition, the CKD Components proposed to be sourced from and those proposed to be sold to Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Supplier and/or the CKD Components Purchaser designated by Taiwan FF) are of different types and are not expected to overlap with each other.

  1. Supply of CKD Components by the Company (or the CKD Components Supplier designated by the Company) to Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Purchaser designated by Taiwan FF)

Pricing mechanism

The price of the CKD Components to be supplied under the CKD Components Agreement is to be determined by reference to:

  1. the price quotation for the same type of CKD Components, which would be updated quarterly during the term of the CKD Components Agreement, or in other reasonable intervals as agreed between the Company and Taiwan FF and publicly provided by the CKD Components Supplier to its third party customers independent of the CKD Components Supplier; or
  2. in the event that the CKD Components Supplier is unable to determine the price quotation of the CKD Components on the basis stipulated in (i) above for any reason, the reasonable costs incurred by the CKD Components Supplier in producing the relevant CKD Components plus the sales margin adjusted or determined with reference to (a) or (b) below:
    1. the historical price quotation of the same type of CKD Components previously provided by the CKD Components Supplier to its third party customers independent of the CKD Components Supplier; or
    2. failing (a) above, the price quotation of similar CKD Components offered by third party manufacturers independent of the CKD Components Supplier;

provided that reasonable adjustments may be made to such price quotation taking into account factors including the difference in the sales region of the CKD Components, whether aftersales services would be provided and whether discounts would be offered due to increase in sales volume.

- 35 -



LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL

The CKD Components Agreement provides that the Company and the CKD Components Supplier designated by the Company will only supply the relevant CKD Components to the CKD Components Purchasers on terms no less favourable to the Group than those which the Group would have obtained from independent third party purchasers. The Company and the CKD Components Supplier designated by the Company will not confirm any price quotation which does not meet such criteria. In this regard, we noted that the Group has internal control policy to confirm that the selling prices for the CKD Components are determined in accordance with the Company's pricing policy and will also make reference to the market price offered by industry counterparts for similar type of products.

In addition, all individual contracts for the sale of the CKD Components will be notified to the finance department of the Group, which keeps a record of connected transactions and controls the amount of such transactions. Periodic inspections of the internal control system of the Group will also be conducted by the Management to ensure that the Transactions conducted under the CKD Components Agreement will be conducted in accordance with the terms of the CKD Components Agreement, on normal commercial terms or better, and in accordance with the pricing policy of the Company.

We note that the Group currently does not regularly supply CKD Components to its customers as this is not the Group's main business strategy, hence the Group does not have a regularly published list of price quotations for CKD Components. During the period under the Former CKD Components Agreement, we noted the Group did not supply CKD Components to independent third party customers, except for providing CKD Components as aftersales services to its CNC Machine Tools customers. In this respect, we have reviewed five invoices of CKD Components supplied to Taiwan FF (and the CKD Components Purchaser designated by Taiwan FF) during the period between 2017 and 2018 while there was no transaction for the year ended 31 December 2019. We believe the selected invoices are a fair and representative sample as (i) the selected invoices represent all historical transactions between the Group and Taiwan FF during this period; and (ii) the invoices were cross checked against the master transaction list provided by the Company. In addition, we noted that the selling prices of the CKD Components were determined on a cost-plus basis, which the sales department would determine the sales margin with reference to the prevailing market price of similar CKD Components provided by independent third parties, which is consistent within the market and the production manager would be responsible to confirm the figures (i.e. the cost) on the price quotation. In assessing whether the sales margin determined by the Group is fair and reasonable, we have selected reviewed four price quotations of similar CKD Components provided by independent third parties to Taiwan FF on a random

- 36 -



LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL

sample basis for the period under the Former CKD Components Agreement. We confirmed that the sales margin determined by the Group of approximately 30% for the transaction under the Former CKD Components Agreement is comparable and not less favorable than the market norm, and as such we believe the sales margin determined by the Group is fair and reasonable.

On the basis of a cost-plus pricing mechanism, the Management believes and we concur that the Group will be protected from incurring any loss on the supply of CKD Components to Taiwan FF (and the CKD Components Purchaser designated by Taiwan FF) and therefore we are of the view that the cost-plus pricing mechanism in relation to the supply of CKD Components by the Company (or the CKD Components Suppliers designated by the Company) to Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Purchasers designated by Taiwan FF) is fair and reasonable.

In addition, we have also reviewed five contracts entered into between the Group and independent third party purchasers and noted the payment terms of the CKD Components Agreement were similar and comparable to and no less favorable than that with the independent third parties.

Order placing

It is stipulated in the CKD Components Agreement that the supply of CKD Components is on a non-exclusive basis. The Group shall only supply CKD Components to Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Purchaser designated by Taiwan FF) when such supply will not adversely affect the manufacturing arrangement or schedule of the Group. In this regard, the Group has internal control policy stating that when supplying CKD Components to Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Purchaser designated by Taiwan FF), the sales department of the Group is required to obtain a written acknowledgement from the production department that, at the time of transaction, the Group retains sufficient levels of CKD Components for its operation, and such sales would not affect the Group's manufacturing schedule. We have reviewed samples of such written acknowledgement and noted the manager of the production department would be required to provide such confirmation. Considering the above order placing procedures do not give preferential treatment to Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Purchaser designated by Taiwan FF)'s orders and will not likely bring disruption to the Group's own production activities, we are of the view that such order placing procedures are appropriate.

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL

In view of the pricing mechanism, payment terms and order placing procedures above, we are of the view that the terms of transaction contemplated under the CKD Components Agreement relating to the sale of CKD Components to Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Purchaser designated by Taiwan FF) are fair and reasonable.

  1. Purchase of CKD Components by the Company (or the CKD Components Purchaser designated by the Company) from Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Supplier designated by Taiwan FF)

Pricing mechanism

The price of the CKD Components to be purchased under the CKD Components Agreement is to be determined by reference to:

  1. the price quotation for the same type of CKD Components, which would be updated quarterly or in other reasonable intervals as agreed between the Company and Taiwan FF and publicly provided by the CKD Components Supplier to its third party customers independent of the CKD Components Supplier; or
  2. in the event that the CKD Components Supplier is unable to determine the price quotation of the CKD Components on the basis stipulated in (i) above for any reason, the reasonable costs incurred by the CKD Components Supplier in producing the relevant CKD Components plus the sales margin adjusted or determined with reference to (a) or (b) below:
    1. the historical price quotation of the same type of CKD Components previously provided by the CKD Components Supplier to its third party customers independent of the CKD Components Supplier; or
    2. failing (a) above, the price quotation of similar CKD Components offered by third party manufacturers independent of the CKD Components Supplier;

provided that reasonable adjustments may be made to such price quotation taking into account factors including the difference in the sales region of the CKD Components, whether aftersales services would be provided and whether discounts would be offered due to increase in sales volume.

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL

The CKD Components Agreement provides that the Company and the CKD Components Purchaser designated by the Company will only purchase the relevant CKD Components from the CKD Components Suppliers on terms no less favourable to the Group than those which the Group would have obtained from independent third party suppliers. The Company and the CKD Components Purchaser designated by the Company will not confirm any price quotation which does not meet such criteria. In this regard, in accordance with the internal control policy of the Group, the Group's selection committee comprising, amongst others, staff from planning and production department will be responsible for identifying and recommending suitable suppliers of CKD Components to the Group. Furthermore, as part of the selection and procurement process, at least two quotations will be sought from independent third party manufacturers for comparison and only the quotation with the most favourable terms will be selected.

In addition, all individual contracts for the purchase of the CKD Components will be notified to the finance department of the Group, which keeps a record of connected transactions and controls the amount of such transactions. Periodic inspections of the internal control system of the Group will also be conducted by the Management to ensure that the Transactions conducted under the CKD Components Agreement will be conducted in accordance with the terms of the CKD Components Agreement, on normal commercial terms or better, and in accordance with the pricing policy of the Company.

During the period under the Former CKD Components Agreement, we noted that the Company (or the CKD Components Purchaser designated by the Company) had obtained price quotations from independent third party suppliers on certain CKD Components which were similar to those sourced from Taiwan

  1. (or the CKD Components Supplier designated by Taiwan FF). We compared 16 sample invoices for purchases made by the Company (or the CKD Components Purchaser designated by the Company) from Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Supplier designated by Taiwan FF) against the equivalent published price quotations of similar products that Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Supplier designated by Taiwan FF) had sold to independent third parties, and we noted that the prices provided to the Company were comparable and no less favorable than those provided to independent third party purchasers. The sample invoices were randomly selected from and cross checked against the master transaction list provided by the Company, and we believe they are a fair and representative sample. In addition, we have also reviewed 14 contracts entered into between the Company (or the CKD Components Purchaser designated by the Company) and independent third party suppliers and noted the terms under the CKD Components Agreement were similar and comparable to and no less favorable than those. As such, we are of the view that (i) the pricing

mechanism in relation to purchase of CKD Components by the Company (or the CKD Components Purchaser designated by the Company) from Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Supplier designated by Taiwan FF); and (ii) the payment terms under the CKD Components Agreement are fair and reasonable.

Order placing

It is stipulated in the CKD Components Agreement that the purchase of CKD Components is on a non-exclusive basis. The CKD Components Agreement does not preclude the Group from purchasing CKD Components from independent third party suppliers. We understand from the Management that the Group will only source CKD Components from Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Supplier designated by Taiwan FF) when the Directors consider it beneficial to the Group, for example, when similar components cannot be obtained from independent third party suppliers, or when the terms offered by Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Supplier designated by Taiwan FF) are better than those the Group could obtain from its independent third party suppliers.

To assess the reasonableness of the terms under the CKD Components Agreement relating to the purchase of CKD Components by the Group from Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Supplier designated by Taiwan FF), we have reviewed the relevant contracts entered into between the Group and independent third party suppliers and noted that the payment terms offered by Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Supplier designated by Taiwan FF) were comparable to those of independent third party suppliers. The Management also confirmed that the procurement department will choose to purchase CKD Components from Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Supplier designated by Taiwan FF) only when its price, quality of product and the time of delivery are comparable to or more favourable than independent third party suppliers.

In view of the pricing mechanism, payment terms and order placing procedures above, we are of the view that the terms of transactions contemplated under the CKD Components Agreement relating to the purchase of CKD Components from Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Supplier designated by Taiwan FF) are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable.

3.2 CNC Machine Tools Agreement

Under the CNC Machine Tools Agreement, the CNC Machine Tools Purchaser may purchase from the CNC Machine Tools Seller, which shall, upon receiving the former's request, sell the Designated CNC Machine Tools to it on an exclusive basis. Further, the CNC Machine Tools Purchaser has the right to sell such Designated CNC Machine Tools in the Sales Region on an exclusive basis, and the CNC Machine Tools Seller shall authorise the CNC Machine Tools Purchaser to sell such Designated CNC Machine Tools in the Sales Region on an exclusive basis. The CNC Machine Tools Purchaser shall have the sole discretion to determine, according to actual circumstances, whether to source from the CNC Machine Tools supplier any CNC Machine Tools and determine the quantity of CNC Machine Tools to be sourced. The CNC Machine Tools Agreement is for a term of three years commencing from the Effective Date.

For detailed terms of the CNC Machine Tools Agreement, please refer to the section headed ''4. CNC Machine Tools Agreement'' in the ''Letter from the Board'' of this Circular.

Pricing mechanism

The price of the Designated CNC Machine Tools to be purchased by the CNC Machine Tools Purchaser under the CNC Machine Tools Agreement is to be determined by reference to:

  1. the price quotation for the same type of Designated CNC Machine Tools, which would be updated quarterly during the term of the CNC Machine Tools Agreement or in other reasonable intervals as agreed between the Company and Taiwan FF and publicly provided by the CNC Machine Tools Seller to its third party customers independent of the CNC Machine Tools Seller; or
  2. in the event that the CNC Machine Tools Seller is unable to determine the price quotation of the Designated CNC Machine Tools on the basis stipulated in (i) above for any reason, the reasonable costs incurred by the CNC Machine Tools Seller in producing the relevant Designated CNC Machine Tools plus the sales margin adjusted or determined with reference to (a) or (b) below:
    1. the historical price quotation of the same type of Designed CNC Machine Tools previously provided by the CNC Machine Tools Seller to its third party customers independent of the CNC Machine Tools Seller; or
      • 41 -



LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL

  1. failing (a) above, the price quotation of similar Designated CNC Machine Tools offered by third party manufacturers independent of the CNC Machine Tools Seller;

provided that reasonable adjustments may be made to such price quotation taking into account factors including the difference in the sales region of the Designated CNC Machine Tools, whether aftersales services would be provided and whether discounts would be offered due to increase in sales volume.

The CNC Machine Tools Purchasers may purchase CNC Machine Tools of a different specification from those specified under the CNC Machine Tools Agreement due to specific business needs that may arise from time to time. These CNC Machine Tools offer the level of precision and functions that are not available on the CNC Machine Tools that are specified under the CNC Machine Tools Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the price of other CNC Machine Tools (not being specified under the CNC Machine Tools Agreement) to be purchased by the CNC Machine Tools Purchaser under the CNC Machine Tools Agreement is to be determined by reference to terms under the paragraph headed ''Pricing mechanism'' above.

Under the CNC Machine Tools Agreement, the CNC Machine Tools Purchaser will only purchase the relevant Designated CNC Machine Tools from the CNC Machine Tools Sellers on terms no less favourable to the Group than those which the Group would have obtained from independent third party manufacturers. The CNC Machine Tools Purchaser will not confirm any price quotation which does not meet such criteria. With regard to the Group's internal control policy, a committee of the Group comprising, amongst others, experienced staff from the sales team and the production department will identify and recommend suitable suppliers, and evaluate the price quotation issued by the CNC Machine Tools Seller. The Group has to obtain at least two price quotations from independent third party manufacturers for comparison (if practicable) and only the quotation with the most favourable terms will be selected. Where no relevant quotation can be obtained from independent third party manufacturers, the quotation from CNC Machine Tools Seller will be evaluated against information of the same type of CNC Machine Tools sold by the CNC Machine Tools Seller to its independent third party customers and/or historical purchases of comparable CNC Machine Tools for which independent quotations were obtained.

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL

In addition, all individual contracts for the sale and purchase of the CNC Machine Tools will be notified to the finance department of the Group, which keeps a record of connected transactions and controls the amount of such transactions. Periodic inspections of the internal control system of the Group will also be conducted by the Management to ensure that the Transactions conducted under the CNC Machine Tools Agreement will be conducted in accordance with the terms of the CNC Machine Tools Agreement, on normal commercial terms or better, and in accordance with the pricing policy of the Company.

We understand from the Management that the Group will compare the pricing of Designated CNC Machine Tools from Taiwan FF under the CNC Machine Tools Agreement to the pricing of similar products from independent third party suppliers. In this regard, we have reviewed 18 sample invoices provided by Taiwan FF to the Group, which were randomly selected from and cross checked against the master transaction list provided by the Company, and we believe they are a fair and representative sample. We noticed that the Group will only place an order with Taiwan FF if it is beneficial to the Group, an example being that the Group can generate reasonable profit from trading the CNC Machine Tools, or if there is a requirement from customers demanding specific models of CNC Machine Tools which the Group may not be able to manufacture. We have also compared 18 sample invoices of the Group's purchases from the CNC Machine Tools Sellers against four price quotations of similar products that the CNC Machine Tools Sellers had sold to independent third parties and noted the prices are comparable and no less favourable to the Group.

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL

Commencing from June 2019, the Group started to purchase mass market CNC Machine Tools from Korean subsidiaries of Taiwan FF. We noted from the Management that since there are limited manufacturers of such kind of CNC Machine Tools, the Group is unable to obtain price quotations from independent third party manufacturers for comparison purpose. In addition, the Management further advised that since these regular CNC Machine Tools are tailor-made in nature based on specific customers' requirement, published price quotations for other mass market CNC Machine Tools may not be applicable for comparison purposes. We have reviewed the Group's operational mechanism in relation to purchase of mass market CNC Machine Tools and noted the Group will review and compare the production capability and capacity of independent third party manufacturers identified by the sales department before requesting for price quotation from the Korean manufacturing subsidiaries of Taiwan FF. For the mass market CNC Machine Tools, the Group will only place an order with Taiwan FF if (i) there is a requirement from customers demanding specific models of CNC Machine Tools which the Group may not be able to manufacture; and (ii) the Group can generate reasonable profit from trading the CNC Machine Tools. Having reviewed and compared (i) two sample invoices between the Group and its clients; and (ii) two related contracts between the Company and Taiwan FF which represented all of the mass market CNC Machine Tools transactions for the period under the Former CNC Machine Tools Agreement, we noted (i) the models and specifications of the CNC Machine Tools were specifically requested by the clients; and (ii) the Group had generated reasonable profit from trading the CNC Machine Tools as the selling price of the Korean manufactured CNC Machine Tools supplied by the Group to its clients is reasonably higher than the purchase price offered by Taiwan FF to the Group. Taking into account the above, as the historical price quotations of Designated CNC Machine Tools (except for mass market CNC Machine Tools) provided by Taiwan FF are comparable and no less favorable to the Group than those to independent third party manufacturers; and the Group will only place an order with Taiwan FF if (i) the models and specifications of the CNC Machine Tools were specifically requested by the clients; and (ii) the Group can generate reasonable profit from trading the CNC Machine Tools, we are of the view that the pricing mechanism in relation to the purchase of Designated CNC Machine Tools from the CNC Machine Tools Sellers is fair and reasonable.

Having (i) reviewed and compared the CNC Machine Tools Agreement with four contracts of similar CNC Machine Tools sold by Taiwan FF to independent third parties; and (ii) discussed with Management on the market norm in relation to payment terms within the machine tools industry, we conclude that the payment terms by Taiwan FF are comparable with market norm and no less favorable than those offered by independent third parties and therefore are fair and reasonable.

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL

Order placing

In addition to the Designated CNC Machine Tools, for other CNC Machine Tools which are not designated under the CNC Machine Tools Agreement, the CNC Machine Tools Purchaser has the right to request the CNC Machine Tools Seller to supply such CNC Machine Tools for the purpose of sale by the CNC Machine Tools Purchaser of such CNC Machine Tools in the Sales Region. The CNC Machine Tools Purchaser shall have priority in acquiring such CNC Machine Tools from the CNC Machine Tools Seller over other customers of the CNC Machine Tools Seller. However, the CNC Machine Tools Purchaser shall only purchase such products if it considers that the capacity of its own production is insufficient or it is reasonably beneficial to the CNC Machine Tools Purchaser to request the CNC Machine Tools Seller to supply the same.

According the Management, the CNC Machine Tools Purchaser will only source CNC Machine Tools from external manufacturers for the purpose of fulfilling customers' orders. The Group has internal control policy that before placing a purchase order from any suppliers for CNC Machine Tools, the procurement team of the Group would be required to obtain written acknowledgement from the production department to confirm whether either one of the following scenarios has occurred: (i) the production capacity of the CNC Machine Tools Purchaser at the time is insufficient to meet the demand from potential customers; or (ii) the CNC Machine Tools Purchaser's production facilities does not have the technical capability to produce such CNC Machine Tools as requested by potential customers.

Having reviewed the terms under the Former CNC Machine Tools Agreement, we noted the Company only encountered the latter scenario and in this regard, we have further reviewed samples of the written acknowledgement and noted the manager of the Group's production department would provide confirmation on a case-by-case basis for each transaction. After receiving such confirmation from the production department, the procurement team will make the purchase decision based on various factors such as price quotation, quality of finished products and timeliness of order delivery. Our observation is consistent with the Management's view that the CNC Machine Tools Purchaser will only purchase CNC Machine Tools from the CNC Machine Tools Sellers if the offer is comparable to or more favourable than independent third party manufacturers.

In view of the above pricing mechanism and order placing procedures, we are of the view that the terms contemplated under the CNC Machine Tools Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable.

4. Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Agreements

According to the Company's annual report for the year ended 31 December 2019, approximately 81.2% of the Group's revenue was derived from the CNC Machine Tools segment in 2019, representing a significant portion of the Group's business in terms of revenue. Therefore, entering into the CKD Components Agreement and CNC Machine Tools Agreement is in the usual and ordinary course of business activities of the Group.

Further, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the entering into of the CNC Machine Tools Agreement provides the Group with an alternative source of CNC Machine Tools and may enlarge the Group's customer base in the Sales Region. The Group will have the choice of sourcing under the CNC Machine Tools Agreement or from other third party suppliers in accordance with its procurement procedures. Under the CNC Machine Tools Agreement, the CNC Machine Tools Seller can only supply CNC Machine Tools to the CNC Machine Tools Purchasers at the CNC Machine Tools Purchasers' request and shall not approach any of its customers in the Sales Region directly.

4.1 CKD Components Agreement

The sales of CKD Components to Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Purchaser designated by Taiwan FF) under the CKD Components Agreement will provide the Group with an additional source of income and allow the Group to more efficiently utilise its production capacity and resources from time to time. Taking into account the pricing mechanism, order placing procedures, internal control policy of the Group and the corresponding procedures carried out by the Group as discussed under the paragraph headed ''3. Terms of the Agreements'' of this letter, the Management believes and we concur that the sale of CKD Components to Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Purchaser designated by Taiwan FF) under the CKD Components Agreement can provide the Group with an additional source of income without potentially causing disruptions to its business operations. It is thus beneficial to the Group.

The purchase of CKD Components from Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Supplier designated by Taiwan FF) under the CKD Components Agreement will provide an additional source of supply of CKD Components for the Group's manufacture of CNC Machine Tools. Taking into account the pricing mechanism, order placing procedures, internal control policy of the Group as well as corresponding procedures carried out by the Group as discussed under the paragraph headed ''3. Terms of the Agreements'' of this letter, the Management believes and we concur that the purchase of CKD Components arrangements with Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Supplier designated by Taiwan FF), which provides the Group with an additional supply source of CKD Components, enables the Group to manage its manufacturing arrangements and customer orders more efficiently.

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL

4.2 CNC Machine Tools Agreement

We have reviewed the Group's production capacity and historical utilisation rate during the three years ended 31 December 2019 and five months ended May 2020 and noted the Group had a relatively low utilisation rate for its CNC Machine Tools production facilities during such period. Despite the current slowdown, the Management is of the view that the utilisation of the Group's production capacity may improve significantly in the following years when there is a recovery of the CNC Machine Tools market from the Sino-U.S. trade war and the outbreak of the coronavirus (''COVID-19'').

The purchase of Designated CNC Machine Tools from the CNC Machine Tools Sellers under the CNC Machine Tools Agreement provides the Group with an alternative source of CNC Machine Tools, which enables the Group to capture new business opportunities and expand its ability to meet customers' demand when orders from potential customers exceed the Group's production capacity or capability from time to time.

In particular, the Management has observed that since mid-2019, there is a growing demand for mass market CNC Machine Tools supplied by Korean subsidiaries of Taiwan FF, replacing the traditional demand for high-end CNC Machine Tools. Despite the periodic drop in demand for CNC Machine Tools in 2019 due to the Sino- U.S. trade war, as well as the suspension of CNC Machine Tools production in the PRC and dampened global market sentiment caused by COVID-19 pandemic, the Management has observed that the demand for CNC Machine Tools has started to recover since March 2020, partly driven by the increasing demand for mass market CNC Machine Tools. Having reviewed historical purchase orders and future confirmed purchase orders from customers of the Group for the period under the CNC Machine Tools Agreement, we are of the view that demand for CNC Machine Tools, in particular mass market CNC Machine Tools from Korean subsidiaries of Taiwan FF, will increase incrementally, which is in line with the Management's expectation of a steady recovery and growth in the CNC Machine Tools industry.

Taking into account the pricing mechanism, order placing procedures, and internal control policy of the Group as discussed under the paragraph headed ''3. Terms of the Agreements'' of this letter, we are of the view that the purchase of Designated CNC Machine Tools from the CNC Machine Tools Sellers under the CNC Machine Tools Agreement can broaden the Group's product range which are readily available for sale to customers, and can further enhance the Group's ability to satisfy and meet potential increase in demand from existing as well as new customers. The abovementioned business strategy corresponds with the Group's vision to continuously strengthen its position as a major supplier of CNC Machine Tools through expansion of its customer base and product range.

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL

Despite a further decline in demand for high-end CNC Machine Tools products in early 2020 due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the Management maintained a positive outlook on the CNC Machine Tools industry as China's GDP experienced a year-on-year growth rate of approximately 6.1% in 2019 according to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, representing a generally stable economic development in China despite the periodic negative impact of the Sino-U.S. trade war. Furthermore, the Management also observed the uptake of demand in mass market CNC Machine Tools which indicated a recovery of the CNC machine market in PRC and a shift in customers' demand to adapt to the current economic environment. The Management will continue to strengthen the core competitiveness of the Group's business and remains optimistic on the long-term development prospects of the Group.

According to the sales announcement published by the Group dated 10 July 2020, the Group recorded sales revenue from CNC Machine Tools business amounted to approximately RMB293.5 million (sale volume amounted to 680 units) for the six months ended 30 June 2020, representing an decrease of approximately 28.3% from approximately RMB409.2 million (sale volume amounted to 838 units) during the same period in 2019.

The Management will continue to explore and capture various opportunities for the Group's development and strategic operation so as to increase the competitive edge of the Group. The Management is optimistic regarding the long-term development prospects of the Group.

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL

The low supply level of CKD Components to Taiwan FF (or persons designated by Taiwan FF) during the terms under the Former CKD Components Agreement was mainly due to the fact that (i) the Group had a relatively high utilisation rate for its self-manufactured CKD Components in meeting its CNC Machine Tools production schedule, resulting in limited residual capacity for the Group to produce additional CKD Components for Taiwan FF (or persons designated by Taiwan FF); and (ii) Taiwan FF (or persons designated by Taiwan FF) was able to source CKD Components for its own production needs from third party suppliers during the period.

The Management has determined the Proposed Annual Caps in respect of the supply of CKD Components to Taiwan FF (or persons designated by Taiwan FF) under the CKD Components Agreement based on the production capacity of the Company (or the CKD Components Supplier designated by the Company).

The Management advised that the Proposed Annual Caps in respect of the supply of CKD Components to Taiwan FF under the CKD Components Agreement are determined based on the historical quantity and pricing of orders, in particular, the transaction amount placed by Taiwan FF (or persons designated by Taiwan

  1. with the Company (or persons designated by Company) from 1 January 2020 up to 31 May 2020, which amounted to approximately RMB 0.254 million, while taking into account the steady recovery of the CNC Machine Tools market despite the negative impact of COVID-19. The demand for CNC Machine Tools declined inevitably during January and February 2020 due to travelling restrictions and temporary suspension of business of manufacturing plants in the PRC. Nevertheless, the Management advised that as indicated by Taiwan FF, the demand for their CNC Machine Tools has been recovering since March 2020 and the total transaction amount under the Former CNC Machine Tools Agreement in April and May 2020 exceeded the same period in 2019 by approximately 1.29 and 1.65 times respectively. Such demand is expected to remain steady during the term of the CKD Components Agreement due to the potential recovery of CNC Machine Tools market. As CKD Components are the major components required to assemble and manufacture CNC Machine Tools, the Group anticipates that the demand for CKD components would increase accordingly during the term of the CKD Components Agreement.

In assessing the reasonableness of the Proposed Annual Caps for the supply of CKD Components, we have made reference to (i) the historical transaction amounts between the Company (or persons designated by Company) and Taiwan

  1. (or persons designated by Taiwan FF) from 13 July 2017 to 31 May 2020, which was approximately RMB0.107 million, RMB0.718 million, nil and RMB0.254 million for the relevant financial periods under the Former CKD Components Agreement; and (ii) forecasted sales report prepared by the Management after discussion with Taiwan FF for the relevant financial periods of the Transactions under of the CKD Components Agreement. The forecasted demand for CKD Components for the relevant financial periods under the CKD Components Agreement is approximately RMB0.88 million, RMB2.01 million, RMB2.19 million and RMB1.25 million respectively.
    • 51 -



LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL

We have reviewed underlying calculations of the forecasted sales report which represented Taiwan FF's indicated demand of the CKD Components based on discussions in relation to their business plans. We also cross checked the forecasted sales report against the estimated residual production capacity of the Group for the relevant financial periods of the Transactions under of the CKD Components Agreement. Taking into account the above, we are of the view that the forecasted sales report for the relevant financial periods of the Transactions under of the CKD Components Agreement is prepared on a fair and reasonable basis.

As mentioned in the paragraph headed ''Pricing mechanism'' under the section headed ''3. Terms of the Agreements'', the CKD Components Agreement provides that the Company (or the CKD Components Supplier designated by the Company) will only supply the relevant CKD Components to the CKD Components Purchasers on terms no less favourable to the Group than those which the Group would have obtained from independent third party purchasers. As a result, the selling price for the CKD Components proposed by the Company (or the CKD Components Supplier designated by the Company) to Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Purchaser designated by Taiwan FF) will not be lower than the selling price proposed to other independent third party purchasers. In this regard, we noted that the Group has internal control policy to confirm that the selling prices for the CKD Components are determined in accordance with the Group's pricing policy and will also make reference to the market price for similar CKD Components offered by industry counterparts. Having interviewed the Management and reviewed the Group's internal control policy, we are of the view that the Group has in place sufficient internal control measures to safeguard the above practice as discussed under the paragraph headed ''3. Terms of the Agreements'' of this letter. Furthermore, with the continuing effects of the Sino- U.S. trade war, the Management expects the costs of production for CKD Components to rise, which will lead to a potential increase in estimated selling price of CKD Components.

As show in Table 1(b) above, the annualised Proposed Annual Caps involved a slight year-on-year increase of approximately 3.5%, 7.9% and 4.2% as the Management has also taken into account factors such as the potential increase in selling price backed by the anticipated demand for CKD Components as well as anticipated inflation during the term of the CKD Components Agreement to allow room for flexibility.

- 52 -



LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL

In addition, as mentioned above, the supply of CKD Components will depend on whether the Group has residual capacity to produce the CKD Components as requested by Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Purchaser designated by Taiwan FF). The Group would have to satisfy its own production schedule for manufacturing CNC Machine Tools before utilising its production capacity to supply the CKD Components to Taiwan FF (or the CKD Components Purchaser designated by Taiwan FF).

In light of the above, we are of the view that the Proposed Annual Caps for supply of CKD Components by the Company (or persons designated by the Company) to Taiwan FF (or persons designated by Taiwan FF) under the CKD Components Agreement are fair and reasonable.

As shown in Table 2(a) above, the Group had utilised approximately 60.4%, 61.9%, 33.9% and 16.3% of the historical approved caps for purchase of CKD Components by the Company (or persons designated by the Company) from Taiwan FF (or persons designated by Taiwan FF) for the period from 13 July 2017 to 31 December 2017, the two years ended 31 December 2018 and 2019, and the five months ended 31 May 2020 respectively.

The historical utilisation rate of CKD Components from Taiwan FF (or persons designated by Taiwan FF) increased slightly from approximately 60.4% during the period of 13 July 2017 to 31 December 2017 to approximately 61.9% for the year ended 31 December 2018. From 2018 onwards, the utilisation rates decreased and remained comparatively low up to 31 May 2020, where it decreased from approximately 61.9% to approximately 33.9% from 2018 to 2019 and further declined to approximately 16.3% for the period from 1 January 2020 up to 31 May 2020. According to the Management, the declining utilisation rates for the purchase of CKD Components from Taiwan FF (or persons designated by Taiwan FF) from 2018 to 2019 was mainly due to the decrease in demand for CNC Machine Tools and price pressure as a result of the Sino-U.S. trade war. The demand for CKD Components contracted further following the outbreak of COVID-19 in the first half of 2020 in light of travel restrictions and temporary closure of factories in the PRC, which disrupted the supply of CNC Machine Tools to end customers. The uncertainties of the CNC Machine Tools market amidst the slowdown in the global economy led to a significant decline in purchase orders for CNC Machine Tools, and in turn, declining historical utilisation rates for the purchase of CKD Components from Taiwan FF (or persons designated by Taiwan FF) by the Company (or persons designated by the Company) since 2018.

- 54 -



LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL

The decrease in historical utilisation rate of purchasing CKD Components from Taiwan FF (or persons designated by Taiwan FF) is also in line with the Group's strategy to localise the sourcing of CKD Components, considering the time and cost when sourcing from overseas. During the period under the Former CKD Components Agreement, the Group had sourced several CKD Components locally, for example, acrylic and adjust gib, which was previously purchased from Taiwan FF (or persons designated by Taiwan FF). The combination of factors above led to the decrease in historical utilisation rates.

The Management has determined the Proposed Annual Caps in respect of the purchase of CKD Components by the Company (or persons designated by the Company) from Taiwan FF (or persons designated by Taiwan FF) under the CKD Components Agreement based on the following factors:

  1. the Group's positive view on the market outlook of the CNC Machine Tools industry; and
    • CKD Components are the major components required to assemble and manufacture CNC Machine Tools. In the second quarter of 2020, as the economy of the PRC gradually recovers from the COVID-19 outbreak, there was an approximately 61% year-on-year increase in the orders for CNC Machine Tools produced by the Group. The Group anticipates that the demand for CNC Machine Tools would increase during the term of the CKD Components Agreement.
  2. the projected breakdown of orders for CKD Components from Taiwan FF (or persons designated by Taiwan FF) for each of the 3 years commencing from the Effective Date, which is based partly on the historical transaction amounts as a base and partly to cater for any potential increase in demand for CNC Machine Tools.

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL

Having considered (i) the decline in utilisation rates in the purchase of CKD Components from Taiwan FF (or persons designated by Taiwan FF) of the Former CKD Components Agreement during 31 July 2017 to 31 March 2020 as presented in Table 2(a); and (ii) the overall strategy of the Group to localise and diversify the sourcing of CKD Components, the Management has significantly reduced the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the purchase of CKD Components by the Company (or persons designated by the Company) from Taiwan FF (or persons designated by Taiwan FF) as compared to the historical annual caps. As mentioned in our above analysis, the Management observed an improvement in its CNC Machine Tools business since March 2020, they are generally optimistic of a potential recovery of the CNC Machine Tools market and anticipates a steady increase in demand for CKD Components from Taiwan FF during the term of the CKD Components Agreement.

As show in Table 2(b) above, the Proposed Annual Caps involved a slight year- on-year annualised increase of approximately 2.8%, 5.3% and 2.5% as the Management has also taken into account factors such as an anticipated increase in demand for CKD Components from Taiwan FF (or persons designated by Taiwan FF) and potential inflation during the term of the CKD Components Agreement to provide for flexibility.

To assess the reasonableness of the Proposed Annual Caps, we have reviewed (i) historical transaction amounts purchased from Taiwan FF (or persons designated by Taiwan FF) in relation to CKD Components from 13 July 2017 to 31 May 2020, which was approximately RMB27.331 million, RMB60.786 million, RMB38.609 million and RMB10.915 million for the relevant financial periods under the Former CKD Components Agreement; (ii) the confirmed purchase orders from the Group's customers of approximately RMB3.13 million from April to July 2020 which have been/are expected to be delivered during the second half of 2020; and (iii) the forecasted sales report prepared by the Management. The forecasted demand for CKD Components for the relevant financial periods under the CKD Components Agreement is approximately RMB21.60 million, RMB51.30 million, RMB54.0 million and RMB27.0 million respectively. We noted the forecasted sales are projected with reference to the Company's estimated production of approximately 800, 1,900, 2,000 and 1,000 units of CNC Machine Tools multiplied by the estimated average price of raw materials from Taiwan FF of approximately RMB 27,000 required to produce one unit of CNC Machine Tool for the relevant financial periods of the Transactions under the CKD Components Agreement. Taking into account the above, we are of the view that the forecasted sales report is prepared on a fair and reasonable basis.

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL

We concur with the Management that despite the historically low utilisation rate, it is reasonable to expect potential growth in demand for CKD Components from its customers during the period of the CKD Components Agreement. Further, we noted the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the purchase of CKD Components in the CKD Components Agreement are significantly reduced compared to the historical annual caps and is in line with the historical utilisation amounts as disclosed in Table 2(a). Additionally, as mentioned above, we considered the recovery of the CNC Machine market as indicated by the increase in the transaction amount under the Former CNC Machine Tools Agreement in April and May 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019.

Taking into account the above, we are of the view that the Proposed Annual Caps for purchase of CKD Components by the Company (or persons designated by the Company) from Taiwan FF (or persons designated by Taiwan FF) under the CKD Components Agreement are fair and reasonable.

As shown in Table 3(a) above, the Group had utilised approximately 10.0%, 3.4%, 0.7% and 4.9% of the historical approved caps for the purchase of Designated CNC Machine Tools by the CNC Machine Tools Purchasers from the CNC Machine Tools Sellers for the period from 13 July 2017 to 31 December 2017, the two years ended 31 December 2019 and five months ended 31 May 2020 respectively.

The historical utilisation rates for the purchase of Designated CNC Machine Tools from the CNC Machine Tools Sellers decreased significantly from approximately 10.0% for the period from 31 July 2017 to 31 December 2017, to approximately 0.7% for the period from 1 January 2020 to 31 May 2020. In 2017, the Group mainly relied on the CNC Machine Tools Sellers for the supply of its CNC Machine Tools in order to satisfy its customers' demand for high-end CNC machine tools, such as those manufactured in Europe. However, such demand for high-end CNC machine tools contracted significantly as the Sino- U.S. trade war has put significant pressure onto the business of end customers. Furthermore, in light of the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, businesses of end customers specialising in export have been severely affected, leading to further weakened demand for high-end European CNC machine tools supplied by the CNC Machine Tools Sellers.

Nevertheless, the historical utilisation recovered slightly for the period from 1 January 2020 to 31 May 2020, which comprised mostly purchase of mass market CNC Machine Tools. According to the Management, the upcoming demand for Designated CNC Machine Tools from the CNC Machine Tools Sellers comprises mostly mass market CNC Machine Tools.

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL

The majority of the Proposed Annual Caps in relation to the CNC Machine Tools Agreement represents the expected transaction amount for Korean manufactured mass market CNC Machine Tools, which has been estimated based on results from market research conducted by the Company and customer indications of approximately RMB5.34 million received. This growing demand for mass market CNC Machine Tools produced by Korean manufacturers since June 2019 are underpinned by the lower production costs and time, as well as reduced delivery costs due to closer proximity to end-customers compared to European manufacturers. The Management believes the trend of shift in demand from high-end to mass market CNC Machine Tools manufactured mainly in China and Korea will likely continue in light of the unstable geopolitical climate resulting from the Sino-U.S. trade war.

The Management has determined the Proposed Annual Caps in respect of the purchase of CNC Machine Tools from the CNC Machine Tools Sellers under the CNC Machine Tools Agreement as shown in Table 3(b) above based on the Group's positive view on the outlook of the Designated CNC Machine Tools industry during the term of the CNC Machine Tools Agreement. The Group anticipates that the PRC will continue to be the largest machine tools consuming country and the demand of machine tools would increase during the term of the CNC Machine Tools Agreement based on:

  1. the historical transaction amounts in respect of the purchase of the Designated CNC Machine Tools between the CNC Machine Tools Purchaser and the CNC Machine Tools Seller under the Former CNC Machine Tools Agreement, which show strong uptick trend in demand for machine tools in recent months brought by the demand for mass market CNC Machine Tools; and
  2. the growing demand for mass market CNC Machine Tools which is estimated based on results from market research conducted by the Company and customer indications received.
