Reasons for entering into the Renewed Van Telecom PRC Property Lease Agreement
The Group was in urgent need to expand its manufacturing capacities due to (i)
unexpected rapid growth in customers’ demand since the beginning of 2016 and (ii)
the increase in market share of the Group’s major customers which led to the increase
of orders from such major customers since mid-2016. However, a relatively long
construction period would be required to build new factories in the Group’s existing
manufacturing base, which might bring adverse effect to the Group’s relationship with
its customers. In order to shorten the period required for expansion of manufacturing
capacities, the rent of suitable premises which required minimal time for renovation and
decoration will be in the interest of the Group. As Van Telecom PRC is the registered
owner of the Factory Building, the Dormitories and the Additional Leased Properties
which was available for rent, the Directors (including the independent non-executive
Directors) considered it in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole
to rent the Factories, the Dormitories and the Additional Lease Properties from Van
Telecom PRC which would allow the Group to expand its manufacturing capacities in a
short period of time and avoid possible disruption to its business.
(2) NEW CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS
On 16 December 2016, the Company and Huizhou Youhua entered into the Huizhou Youhua
Purchase Agreement in respect of the supply of voice coil motors and linear motors by
Huizhou Youhua to the Group with the following principal terms:
The Huizhou Youhua Purchase Agreement
Date: 16 December 2016
Parties: (i) the Company (for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries)
(as purchaser)
(ii) Huizhou Youhua (for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries)
(as supplier)
Contract Period: 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2019
Subject: The Company agreed to purchase, or procure its Subsidiaries to
purchase, and Huizhou Youhua and/or its Subsidiaries agreed to
supply to the Company and/or its Subsidiaries voice coil motors
(“VCM”) and linear motors (“LM”) during the contract period.
Price determination: Prices for the VCM and LM will be determined with reference to
the price at which comparable types of VCM and LM sold to the
Group by suppliers which are Independent Third Parties under
normal commercial terms in the ordinary and usual course of
business, and such prices shall be no less favourable to the Group
than is available from suppliers which are Independent Third
Parties.

Annual caps
The annual caps of the transactions contemplated under the Huizhou Youhua Purchase
Agreement for the relevant periods are set out below:
1 January 2017 to 31 December 2017
1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018
1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019
(RMB) (RMB) (RMB)
Annual caps 37,000,000 37,000,000 37,000,000
The annual caps for the transactions under the Huizhou Youhua Purchase Agreement for
each of the year ending 31 December 2017, 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2019 were
determined with reference to:
(i) the projected demand of VCM and LM that the Group would purchase from Huizhou
Youhua for the production of camera modules for each of the year ending 31 December
2017, 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2019;
(ii) the prevailing market rates and historical price fluctuations of such electronic
components;
(iii) the historical transaction amounts for each of the year ended 31 December 2014 and 31
December 2015 and the ten months ended 31 October 2016; and
(iv) the expected growth in demand for the camera modules of the Group, taking into account
of the launch of new products and the resulting future increases in the purchases of VCM
and LM to be made by the Group from Huizhou Youhua for the Group’s production.
Such projection is assumed solely for determining the annual caps for the transactions
contemplated under the Huizhou Youhua Electronic Purchase Agreement and shall not be
regarded as any indication directly or indirectly as to the respective revenue, profitability or
trading prospects of the Group and/or Huizhou Youhua.
Historical transaction amounts
The historical transaction amounts between the Group and Huizhou Youhua for each of the
year ended 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2015 and for the period from 1 January 2016

Note: Before 29 May 2016, the transactions between the Group and Huizhou Youhua were not classified as
connected transactions under the Listing Rules as the entire shareholdings of Huizhou Youhua were held
by Independent Third Parties. On 29 May 2016, Shenzhen Handi (which is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Shenzhen CK which in turn is owned as to 90% by Mr. He and 10% by Mr Wang) acquired the then
70% shareholdings of Huizhou Youhua (“Acquisition”). After the Acquisition, no transaction between the
Group and Huizhou Youhua had occurred up to the date of this announcement.
Reasons for entering into the Huizhou Youhua Purchase Agreement
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) considered that it is in the
interest of the Group to purchase the VCM and LM from Huizhou Youhua pursuant to the
Huizhou Youhua Purchase Agreement for the following reasons:
(i) the purchases from Huizhou Youhua will be at competitive prices not less favourable
than those that the Group can obtain from suppliers which are Independent Third Parties;
(ii) Huizhou Youhua is familiar with the Group’s product specifications, standards and
requirements and the Group has confidence in the quality of the VCM and LM supplied
by Huizhou Youhua; and
(iii) the Directors considered that it is crucial for the Group to maintain the quality of the
VCM and LM for the Group’s existing and future production needs. In view of the
Group’s past purchasing experience with Huizhou Youhua, the Directors are of the view
that Huizhou Youhua can effectively fulfill the Group’s requirements of product quality.
In considering whether to purchase from Huizhou Youhua, the Group will seek quotations
from at least two suppliers which are Independent Third Parties offering the same or
comparable products. The Group will purchase the VCM and LM from Huizhou Youhua if the
price and quality of the products offered are comparable to or more favourable to the Group
than those offered by such Independent Third Parties for the same or comparable products.
The Huizhou Youhua Purchase Agreement will therefore give the Group flexibility to purchase
the VCM and LM it requires from Huizhou Youhua if it so wishes at competitive market
prices.
