PROFIT FORECAST UNDER THE VALUATION REPORT

According to the Valuation Report, in preparing the valuation of the Target Group, the Valuer applied the discounted cash flow method under the income approach based on certain assumptions to appraise the value of the Target Group, which constitutes a profit forecast under Rule 14.61 of the Listing Rules and the requirements of Rule 14.60A and 14.62 of the Listing Rules are therefore applicable.

Major assumptions

  • . as advised by the Management, as at the Valuation Date, there is no other executed long-term contracts entered into by the Target Group, as a prudent measure, it is thus assumed that the Target Group will have no further business operation after the expiry of the sales contract in year 2025;

  • . the Target Group has sufficient liquidity and capability to achieve the business development;

  • . the Target Group has obtained all necessary permits, business certificates, licenses and legal approvals to operate the business and all relevant permits, business certificates, licenses and legal approvals to operate the business in the localities in which the Target Group operates or intends to operate would be officially obtained and renewable upon expiry with de minimis expenses;

  • . there will be sufficient supply of technical staff in the industry in which the Target Group operates or intends to operate, and the Target Group will retain competent management, key personnel and technical staff to support their ongoing operations and developments;

  • . there will be no major changes in the current taxation laws in the localities in which the Target Group operates or intends to operate and that the rates of tax payable shall remain unchanged and that all applicable laws and regulations will be complied with;

  • . there will be no major changes in the political, legal, economic or market conditions in the localities in which the Target Group operates or intends to operate, which would adversely affect the revenues attributable to and profitability of the Target Group;

  • . there will be no material changes in the relevant interest rates and exchange rates that would impact the Target Group's business; and

  • . there are no other assets or liabilities except the sales contract, no unusual obligations or substantial commitments, other than in the ordinary course of business and as reflected in the financials, nor any litigation pending or threatened, which would have a material impact on the value of the Target Group as of the Valuation Date.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Company is incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability and is an investment holding company. The Group is principally engaged in the design, development, manufacturing, subcontracting service and sales of LED beads and LED lighting products in the PRC.

As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2019, the industry outlooks and prospects have become highly challenging and uncertain for the Company following the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic. In particular, the Group and its customers are likely to be adversely impacted by the sluggish consumer electronics market conditions and the delay of product launches by downstream consumer electronics companies. The Company is monitoring the market situation and strives to mitigate any adverse impact it may face to the best of its ability. As a strategy to mitigate the adverse impact of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic, the Group is exploring other potential investment opportunities which can increase Shareholders' values.

According to the information which was published by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC (), in 2020 the number of electric bicycles which were manufactured in the PRC amounted to approximately 29.66 million, representing an increase of approximately 29.7% compared to 2019. Electric bicycles are commonly used in the PRC as a means to short to medium distance travelling and it is widely used in food delivery industry by riders. It is noted that the COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated the food delivery for restaurants, therefore further increased the demand for food delivery riders. Given the increasing demand and cultural climate, it is expected that there is substantial potential for the electric bicycles industry in the PRC.

On 15 May 2018, the State Administration for Market Regulation () and the Standardisation Administration () of the PRC promulgated the safety technical specification for electric bicycle () which became effective from 15 April 2019 pursuant to which the PRC government imposed more stringent requirements on the safety technical specification for electric bicycles and it is expected that there will be increase in demand for electric bicycles and charging stations which are in compliance with such specification.

According to the information which was published by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC (), in 2020 the sales of electric bicycles in the PRC amounted to approximately RMB92.58 billion, representing an increase of approximately 22.9% compared to 2019.

The life cycle of battery systems of the electric bicycles for riders, being one of its most important components, is relatively short. It is estimated that the battery needs to be charged 2-3 times per day. Battery charging is time consuming and the income of the food delivery riders is dependent on the battery charging speed. Fast charging battery solution can largely reduce the time required for charging and in turn raise the efficiency and income of food delivery riders. It is expected that fast charging battery solution will be a preferred choice by the fast growing food delivery industry in the PRC and there will be steady growing demand for electric bicycle battery systems in the PRC.

The Group has been developing optical electronic products which applies in consumer electronics products including mobile phones, electric vehicle panels and other smart electronic home appliances. The management believes that in order to enhance the popularity of smart devices and environmentally friendly electric vehicles, fast charging battery solution can be one of the key technologies to facilitate the trend. The development of fast charging battery solution will also create synergy with the Group's existing products and allow cross-selling in these electronic components in smart devices.

In view of the above, the Board is optimistic about the market potential for electric bicycles battery systems and related fast charging solution and the acquisition of the Target Group will serve as extension of the Group's business to mitigate the adverse impact of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic on the current business of the Group while bringing in potential investment opportunities which can increase Shareholders' values. Furthermore, as the Consideration is satisfied through the issue of the Consideration Shares, it will not impose immediate cash-flow burden to the Group.

Therefore, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and that the Sale and Purchase Agreement is on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATION

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition exceed 5% but are less than 25%, the Acquisition constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company which is subject to the notification and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

APPENDIX I - LETTER FROM THE COMPANY 'S REPORTING ACCOUNTANT

The following is the text of the report received from BDO Limited, Certified Public Accountants, the reporting accountant of the Company relating to the discounted future cash flows in respect of the Valuation for the purpose of inclusion in this announcement.

INDEPENDENT ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE ARITHMETICAL ACCURACY OF THE CALCULATIONS OF THE DISCOUNTED FUTURE CASH FLOWS IN CONNECTION WITH THE VALUATION OF TARGET GROUP

To the Board of Directors of HongGuang Lighting Holdings Company Limited

We refer to the discounted future cash flows on which the valuation (''Valuation'') dated 25 February 2021 prepared by Ravia Global Appraisal Advisory Limited with respect to the valuation of the fair value of 100% equity interest in GSR GO Holding Corporation (the ''Target Company'') and its subsidiary (collectively referred to as the ''Target Group'') as at 11 February 2021 is based. The Valuation is prepared based in part on discounted future cash flows and is regarded as a profit forecast under paragraph 14.61 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ''Listing Rules'')

Directors' Responsibility for the Discounted Future Cash Flows

The directors of HongGuang Lighting Holdings Company Limited (the ''Directors'') are solely responsible for the preparation of the discounted future cash flows in accordance with the bases and assumptions adopted by the Directors and set out in the Valuation. This responsibility includes carrying out appropriate procedures relevant to the preparation of the discounted future 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.

The 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'', 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

It is our responsibility to report, as required by paragraph 14.62(2) of the Listing Rules, on the calculations of the discounted future cash flows used in the Valuation.

We conducted our work in accordance with the terms of our engagement and 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 plan and perform our work to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether, so far as the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations is concerned, the Directors have properly compiled the discounted future cash flows in accordance with the bases and assumptions as set out in the Valuation. We performed procedures on the arithmetical accuracy and compilation of the discounted future cash flows in accordance with the bases and assumptions. Our work is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, so far as the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations is concerned, the discounted future cash flows have been properly compiled in accordance with the bases and assumptions adopted by the Directors as set out in the Valuation.

Other Matters

Without modifying our opinion, we draw your attention that we are not reporting on the appropriateness and validity of the bases and assumptions on which the discounted future cash flows are based and our work does not constitute any valuation of the Target Group or an expression of an audit or review opinion on the Valuation.

The preparation of the discounted future estimated cash flows on which the Valuation is based does not involve the adoption of accounting policies. The discounted future cash flows depend on future events and on a number of assumptions which cannot be confirmed and verified in the same way as past results and not all of which may remain valid throughout the period. Our work has been undertaken for the purpose ofreporting solely to you under paragraph 14.62(2) of the Listing Rules and for no other purpose. We accept no responsibility to any other party in respect of, arising out of or in connection with our work.

APPENDIX II - LETTER FROM THE BOARD

25 February 2021

Listing Division

The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited 12/F, Two Exchange Square,

8 Connaught Place, Central, Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

Re: Discloseable transaction proposed acquisition of the entire issued share capital of the Target Company involving issue of Consideration Shares under general mandate

We refer to the announcement of the Company dated 25 February 2021 of which this letter forms part (the ''Announcement''). Unless the context otherwise requires, terms defined in the Announcement shall have the same meanings when used herein.

We, the board of directors (the ''Board'') of HongGuang Lighting Holdings Company Limited, note that BDO Limited, Certified Public Accountants, the Company's auditor, has examined the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations of the discounted cash flow forecast, which do not involve the adoption of accounting policies, in the valuation report dated 25 February 2021 issued by Ravia Global Appraisal Advisory Limited (the ''Valuer'') regarding the valuation as at 11 February 2021 (the ''Valuation'') of the 100% equity interest in GSR GO Holding Corporation. Pursuant to Rule 14.61 of the Listing Rules, the Valuation constitutes a profit forecast (the ''Underlying Forecast'').

We have discussed with the Valuer about different aspects including the bases and assumptions in the Valuation based upon which the Underlying Forecast has been prepared, and reviewed the Valuation for which the Valuer is responsible. We have also considered the letter dated 25 February 2021 issued by BDO Limited, Certified Public Accountants and addressed to the Board of Directors that the Underlying Forecast, so far as the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations of the discounted cash flow forecast is concerned, has been properly compiled in all material respects in accordance with the bases and assumptions approved by the Directors.

We hereby confirm that, the Underlying Forecast, pursuant to the Valuation report, has been made after due and careful enquiry of the Board.

The purpose of this letter is solely for the strict compliance with Rule 14.62 of the Listing Rules. We, however, express no opinion in this letter on the actual results of the Underlying Forecast as the Underlying Forecast is based on hypothesis of future events.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of

HongGuang Lighting Holdings Company Limited

Chan Wing Kin

Executive Director
