REASONS AND BENEFITS FOR THE AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREUNDER

The principal activities of the Group are the production and sale of own-brand edible oil, non-branded edible oil and corn meal.

Corn Industry owns the Property but the land where the Property is located is owned by Sanxing Grease. Given that the State Land Administration of the PRC and the Housing Authority of the PRC were merged into the Real Estate Registration Center of the PRC, the ownership of land and property must be unified. Due to the complicated procedure of land transaction and huge transaction amount, the Board believes that the transfer of ownership of the Property is more in line with the overall interests of the Company and its Shareholders.

The Disposal is expected to generate a net gain of approximately RMB7,000,000 for the Group. The proceeds generated from the Disposal will be mainly used for its daily operation as working capital of the Group.

Given the aforesaid, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Agreement are normal commercial terms and fair and reasonable, and are in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
