Applaud is a British Virgin Islands corporation that has no assets other than its ownership of 48.58% of equity interest in Jinheng Automotive Safety Technology Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands corporation (“Jinheng Holdings”).  Wonder BVI and Yearcity acquired the Applaud Shares for a total consideration of HK$115,449,757.80 (approximately US$14.87 million) in January 2010. The closing of the Applaud Agreement is conditioned upon the Closing of the Vital Glee Agreement.

Jinheng BVI is a holding company without any active operations or assets except (i) its 100% equity ownership of Jinheng (Hong Kong) Ltd., a holding company with no active business operations (“Jinheng HK”); (ii) its indirect (through Jinheng HK) 100% equity ownership of Jinzhou Jinheng Automobile Safety System Co., Ltd. (“Jinzhou Jinheng”), a Chinese corporation primarily engaged in the design, manufacturing and sale of automobile airbags and safety belts; (iii) its 55.56% indirect (through Jinheng PRC and Jinheng HK) equity ownership of Shenyang Jinbei Jinheng Automobile Safety System Co., Ltd., a Chinese corporation primarily engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of automobile airbags and related parts; (iv) its 100% equity ownership of Beijing Jinheng Sega Automotive Spare Parts Limited, a Chinese corporation engaged in the manufacture and sale of automobile steering wheels; and (v) its 90% equity ownership of Harbin Hafei Jinheng Automotive Safety System Co., Ltd., a Chinese corporation engaged in the manufacture and sale of airbags and other automobile parts.

The first installment payment of HK $339 million (approximately US$43.66 million) will be made within seven business days after the satisfaction of all the closing conditions (except for the payment of such first installment payment) as set forth in Section 4.1 of the Vital Glee Agreement. Vital Glee also will issue three non-interest bearing promissory notes in the respective amount of HK $169.5 million (approximately US$21.83 million), HK $169.5 million (approximately US$21.83 million) and HK $452 million (approximately US$58.22 million) to Jinheng Holdings at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Vital Glee Agreement (the “Closing”), which will become payable at the 30th, 90th and 180th days after the Closing, respectively. Vital Glee will pledge shares of Jinheng BVI to secure the payment of the promissory notes pursuant to a share pledge agreement to be entered into at the Closing.

In addition, Vital Glee and Jinheng Holding will each deliver to the other party a fairness opinion issued by an independent third party before Jinheng delivers the circular to its shareholders as required under The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The Company will fund the proposed acquisition through cash on hand and bank loans. The closing of the Vital Glee Agreement is conditioned upon the Closing of the Applaud Agreement.
