MAJOR AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 13 June 2008, in which the Board announced that after trading hours on 6 June 2008, the Company entered into the Agreement with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and the Purchaser agreed to acquire (i) the Sale Shares, representing the entire issued share capital of Cableport as at the date of the Agreement for a consideration of HK$37,631,679.26; and (ii) the Shareholder’s Loan for a consideration of HK$22,368,320.74.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Following Completion, the Company will no longer have any interests in Cableport. Cableport will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and the assets, liabilities and financial results of Cableport will no longer be consolidated in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Since the applicable percentage ratios as calculated under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules represent 25% or more but less than 75% for the Company, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules which is subject to the requirements of reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Given the Purchaser was the controlling Shareholder holding 445,500,000 Shares, representing approximately 50.35% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the Agreement and the Latest Practicable Date, the Purchaser was a connected person of the Company as defined under the Listing Rules. As such, the Disposal also constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The Disposal is therefore subject to the requirements of reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval pursuant to Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, (i) further details of the Agreement and the Disposal; (ii) a letter from the Independent Board Committee in relation to the transactions contemplated under the Agreement and the Disposal; (iii) a letter of advice from the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the transactions contemplated under the Agreement and the Disposal; and (iv) the notice of SGM at which resolution will be proposed to be considered and if thought fit, approve, among other things, the transactions contemplated under the Agreement and the Disposal.

THE AGREEMENT

Date

6 June 2008

Parties

  • (1) the Company, as the vendor

  • (2) Leading Highway Limited, as the Purchaser

  • (3) Mr. Cheng, as the guarantor of the Purchaser

— 6 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Purchaser is an investment holding company wholly-owned by Mr. Cheng. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Purchaser owned 445,500,000 Shares, representing approximately 50.35% of the issued share capital of the Company. Apart from the Disposal, the Company has no prior transaction with the Purchaser and/or its ultimate beneficial owner which would require aggregation with the Disposal pursuant to Rule 14A.25 of the Listing Rules.

Subject of the Disposal

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company agreed to sell and the Purchaser agreed to acquire (i) the Sale Shares, representing the entire issued share capital of Cableport; and (ii) the Shareholder’s Loan.

Consideration

The total consideration payable for the Disposal is HK$60,000,000, of which HK$37,631,679.26 represents consideration for the sale of the Sale Shares and the balance of HK$22,368,320.74 represents the consideration for the assignment of the Shareholder’s Loan. The total consideration will be settled in cash upon Completion.

The consideration was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Parties with reference to the face value of the Shareholder’s Loan and the fair value of the entire interest in Cableport of approximately HK$36 million based on the preliminary business valuation of the entire interest in Cableport as at 31 May 2008 (as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 13 June 2008) prepared by Vigers during the course of negotiation of the Agreement.

Conditions precedent

Completion is conditional upon:

  • (a) the Shareholders having the right to attend and vote in general meetings and not excluded from voting under the Listing Rules approving the sale of the Sale Shares and the transactions contemplated under the Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules; and

  • (b) the Parties having obtained any and all other permits, approvals, authorisations and waivers as may be necessary or appropriate for the entering into and consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Agreement.

— 7 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The long stop date for the Disposal is 16 September 2008 pursuant to the Agreement, or such other date as the Parties may agree in writing. In the event that any of the above conditions shall not have been fulfilled or waived prior to such long stop date then the Purchaser and the Company shall not be bound to proceed with the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares nor the assignment of the Shareholder’s Loan. As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the conditions precedent had been fulfilled.

Completion

Completion shall take place on the second business day after the day on which the last of the above conditions is fulfilled or waived or 18 September 2008 pursuant to the Agreement, whichever is later (or provided that the conditions are fulfilled or waived, such later date as the Parties may agree in writing prior to Completion).

THE SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

After considering the earliest possible date of the SGM to approve the Disposal, the Parties entered into the Supplemental Agreement on 31 July 2008 pursuant to which the Parties agreed to amend the long stop date and the completion date of the Agreement. Pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement, the long stop date shall be extended from 27 August 2008 to 16 September 2008 and Completion shall take place on the second business day after the day on which the last of the conditions precedent is fulfilled or waived or 18 September 2008 (as opposed to the original agreed date on 29 August 2008), whichever is later (or provided that the conditions are fulfilled or waived, such later date as the Parties may agree in writing prior to Completion).

Save for the above, all other terms and conditions of the Agreement remain unchanged.

INFORMATION ON CABLEPORT

Cableport is an investment holding company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Cableport owns 60% equity interest in HHED, which in turn holds the right of management and operation of the Toll Road. Based on the business valuation prepared by Vigers as referred to in Appendix II to this circular, the market value of the entire equity interest in Cableport was approximately HK$35.2 million as at 31 May 2008.

The Toll Road is a highway located at the 320 National Highway in Hangzhou, connecting the traffic network between Zhejiang province to the provinces of Anhui and Jiangsu. It is a restricted grade one highway between Shanhusha and Jinjialing with a length of approximately 11.934 kilometers. Tolls are collected for all traffic running from Fuyang City to Hangzhou City. In January 2005, HHED entered into an agreement with the Hangzhou City Government pursuant to which the Hangzhou City Government agreed to pay HHED a daily compensation of RMB50,000 for the loss of toll receipts for the year ended 31

— 8 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

December 2005. The amount of compensation is subject to annual review by Hangzhou City Government and the agreement is subject to evaluation annually. As in June 2008, the amount of compensation receivable for the years ended 31 December 2006 and 31 December 2007 and the five months ended 31 May 2008 (other than the amount of HK$7,804,000 which had been received during the year ended 31 December 2006) amounted to approximately HK$37 million. Such outstanding amount was calculated on the assumption that the daily compensation at the amount of RMB50,000 has remained unchanged, has not been settled. In 2007, in the absence of any agreement with Hangzhou City Government and pending for a decision of the PRC court in respect of the litigation described below, such unsettled balance had not been reflected in the financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2007. Up to early July 2008, the Group had been in negotiation with the Hangzhou City Government as to the entitlement of the remaining amount of compensation. As stated in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2007 (“ 2007 Annual Report ”), the PRC lawyer of the Group has advised that a civil petition has been submitted by HHED to the PRC court against the Hangzhou City Government seeking a judgment on the compensation amount. Up to early July 2008, such court decision was still pending. As referred to in the 2007 Annual Report, the auditors of the Company had expressed a qualified opinion in the auditors’ reports on the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2007 on the basis that, among other things, they were unable to assess whether any impairment loss against the Toll Road operation rights was required and whether allowance was required in respect of the MI Receivables.

On 30 July 2008, HHED entered into the Compensation Agreement with the Hangzhou City Government pursuant to which Hangzhou City Government agreed to pay HHED a daily compensation of RMB50,000 for the year ended 31 December 2006 and RMB51,250 for the three years ending 31 December 2009 for the loss of toll receipts in the operation of the Toll Road. The amount of compensation receivable for the years ended 31 December 2006 and 31 December 2007 and the five months ended 31 May 2008 (other than the amount of HK$7,804,000 which had been received during the year ended 31 December 2006) pursuant to the Compensation Agreement amounted to approximately HK$41.3 million. Such outstanding amount was calculated on the assumption that the daily compensation of (i) RMB50,000 had remained unchanged for the year ended 31 December 2006; and (ii) RMB51,250 had remained unchanged for the year ended 31 December 2007 and the five months ended 31 May 2008, had not been settled. Despite the Compensation Agreement had been entered into between HHED and the Hangzhou City Government, the litigation between HHED and the Hangzhou City Government in relation to the government compensation has not been settled as at the Latest Practicable Date and that the timing and recoverability of the abovementioned compensation amount of approximately HK$41.3 million has remained uncertain.

The audited consolidated financial information of the Group as at 31 December 2007 has comprised the financial figures of Cableport Group. As at 31 December 2007, the consolidated net asset value attributable to the shareholders of Cableport was approximately

— 9 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

HK$44.1 million (“Cableport NAV”). Set out below are the financial information of the Cableport Group for the two years ended 31 December 2006 and 31 December 2007 respectively.

For the financial year ended
31 December 31 December
2006 2007
HK$ million HK$ million
Profit/(Loss) before taxation and extraordinary items 7.0 (2.4)
Profit/(Loss) after taxation and extraordinary items 5.8 (2.6)

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

Prior to Completion, the Group is principally engaged in the provision of limousine and airport shuttle transportation services in Hong Kong and management and operation of toll road in the PRC. For the year ended 31 December 2007, the Group recorded an audited net loss of approximately HK$6.0 million.

As set out in the announcement of the Company dated 12 February 2008, the Company agreed to acquire Smart Year Investment Limited (the “Acquisition”), which is principally engaged in investment holding with its subsidiaries principally engaged in the mining and processing of mineral resources. Over the past few years, a remarkable increase has been recorded in both the demand and prices of mineral resources. The Directors are optimistic about the future prospects and demand for natural resources and consider that the Acquisition would allow the Group to diversify into the natural resource industry which will in turn provide a new income source for the Group. It is the business strategy of the Group to place more focus in the natural resources business and the Disposal would allow the Group to divert its resources to a business which the Directors consider to be of better prospects.

Having taken into account of the above, the Directors consider that the Disposal represents a good opportunity for the Group to divest its interests in Cableport and receive additional cash for business with more growth potential.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL

Based on the Cableport NAV of approximately HK$44.1 million, it is estimated that the Company will record a loss of approximately HK$6.5 million as a result of the Disposal. The Cableport NAV of approximately HK$44.1 million included the MI Receivables. As stated in the 2007 Annual Report, the MI Receivables may be settled through dividends to be declared by HHED at the discretion of the directors of HHED. Given the ability of HHED to declare dividends is dependent on the profitability of HHED which in turn, is dependent on the actual amount of daily compensation to be received from the Hangzhou City Government,

— 10 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the Directors are of the view that the inclusion of the MI Receivables when determining the gain or loss on Disposal may not reflect the actual financial effect as the ability of the minority shareholders of HHED to repay the MI Receivables in the event that HHED is unable to declare sufficient dividends to realize the MI Receivables is in doubt. Accordingly, the Directors consider that, notwithstanding the estimated loss as a result of the Disposal, the Disposal still represents a good opportunity for the Group to divest the investment in

Cableport.

Following Completion, the Company will no longer have any interests in Cableport. Cableport will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and the assets, liabilities and financial results of Cableport will no longer be consolidated in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Based on the estimation of the management of the Company, the total assets of the Group is expected to be reduced by approximately HK$85.7 million and the total liabilities and the amount due to minority interest of the Group is expected to be reduced by approximately HK$1.3 million and approximately HK$77.9 million respectively. Accordingly, the net asset value of the Group is expected to be decreased by approximately HK$6.5 million as a result of the Disposal. In addition, save for the loss on Disposal of approximately HK$6.5 million, the Disposal is expected to have positive effects on the earnings, financial and cash resources of the Group going forward. In recent years, HHED, the subsidiary of Cableport which holds and operates the Toll Road, has witnessed increasing competition from the surrounding emerging alternate roads, putting pressure on its revenue and costs, and therefore profitability of its operation. The Disposal is conducive to the improvement of the Group’s future financial performance by mitigating loss from the Cableport Group and also helps in preserving financial and cash resources which the Group can allocate to other more profitable endeavors. The whole business segment of management and operation of toll road of the Group in the PRC will be terminated after the Disposal. The Company has no present intention to dispose any of its other existing businesses after the Disposal, subject to any good divesting opportunities in the future which are to the interests of the Company. There will not be any change to the composition of the Board after the Disposal.

The entire amount of the proceeds of the Disposal is intended to be used to finance part of the cash consideration of the Acquisition.

The Directors consider that the terms of the Agreement are fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Shareholders are concerned and the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

IMPLICATION OF THE LISTING RULES

Since the applicable percentage ratios as calculated under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules represent 25% or more but less than 75% for the Company, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules which is subject to the requirements of reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

— 11 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Given the Purchaser was the controlling Shareholder holding 445,500,000 Shares, representing approximately 50.35% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the Agreement and as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Purchaser was a connected person of the Company as defined under the Listing Rules. As such, the Disposal also constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The Disposal is therefore subject to the requirements of reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval pursuant to Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to the Listing Rules, the transactions contemplated under the Agreement and the Disposal are conditional on the approval by Independent Shareholders by way of poll at the SGM. The Purchaser, Mr. Cheng and their respective associates, with material interest in the Disposal, will be required to abstain from voting in relation to the resolution to approve, among other things, the transactions contemplated under the Agreement and the Disposal at the SGM.

SGM

A notice convening the SGM to be held on Mont Blanc Room, Pacific Place Conference Centre, Level 5, One Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, Hong Kong, on Tuesday, 9 September 2008 at 10:00 a.m. is set out on pages 48 to 49 of this circular for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing, with or without amendments, the resolution in respect of the transactions contemplated under the Agreement and the Disposal. A form of proxy for use by the Shareholders at the SGM is enclosed. Whether or not you intend to attend the SGM, you are requested to complete and return the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Secretaries Ltd., at 26/F, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the SGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the SGM or any adjournment thereof should you so wish.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors are of the opinion that the terms of the Agreement are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and that the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Directors recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution as set out in the notice of SGM to approve, among other things, the transactions contemplated under the Agreement and the Disposal at the SGM.

GENERAL

Your attention is drawn to the letter from the Independent Board Committee, the letter from the Independent Financial Adviser and the additional information set out in the appendices to this circular and the notice of SGM.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The following is the letter of advice to the Independent Board Committee and Independent Shareholders from Commerzbank, which has been prepared for the purpose of incorporation into this circular, setting out its advice to the Independent Board Committee and Independent Shareholders in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Agreement (as supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement) and the Disposal.

21st Floor, The Hong Kong Club Building 3A Chater Road, Central Hong Kong

9 August 2008

To the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders

Dear Sirs,

MAJOR AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the terms of the Agreement relating to the disposal of the Sale Shares and the assignment of the Shareholder’s Loan by the Company to the Purchaser, details of which, amongst other things, are set out in the circular dated 9 August 2008 (the “Circular”), of which this letter forms part. Terms defined in the Circular will have the same meanings when used in this letter unless the context requires otherwise.

On 6 June 2008, the Company, the Purchaser and Mr. Cheng (the sole beneficiary owner of the Purchaser) entered into the Agreement (as supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement dated 31 July 2008), pursuant to which the Company agreed to dispose of and assign, and the Purchaser agreed to acquire the Sale Shares and accept the Shareholder’s Loan at the cash consideration (the “Consideration”) of HK$60.0 million, comprising (i) HK$37,631,679.26 as the consideration for the Sale Shares and (ii) HK$22,368,320.74 as the consideration for the assignment of the Shareholder’s Loan.

Since the Purchaser is the controlling Shareholder, the Purchaser is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules and the Disposal constitutes a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As the relevant percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposal are more than 25% but less than 75% and the Consideration is more than HK$10.0 million, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction and a non-exempted connected transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Purchaser, Mr. Cheng and their respective associates, are required to abstain from voting in the resolution in connection with the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

Note 1: revenue from toll road operation for the three years ended 31 December 2007 is recognised on a receipt basis.

The Group mainly conducts its toll road operations in PRC through three joint ventures, namely Shanxi Xiangyi Road & Bridge Construction Ltd., Shanxi Linhong Road & Bridge Construction Ltd. (together, the “Shanxi Joint Ventures”) and HHED. The Shanxi Joint Ventures mainly conduct toll road and bridge operations in Xiangyi and Linhong, Shanxi Province, PRC, whereas HHED operates the Toll Road located at National Highway No. 320 in Hangzhou City, connecting the traffic between Zhejiang Province and Anhui Province and Jiangsu Province. The Toll Road is a restricted grade one national highway between Shanhusha and Jinjialing with a length of approximately 11.934 kilometres and tolls are collected for all traffic from Fuyang City to Hangzhou

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

City. As advised by the management of the Company, the Group had discontinued to recognise its share of losses of the Shanxi Joint Ventures due to the substantial loss incurred by the Shanxi Joint Ventures in the past years. As a result, the financial information relating to the Group’s toll road operations for the three years ended 31 December 2007 mainly referred to the financial performance of the Toll Road.

The operating rights of the Toll Road owned by HHED has a term of 30 years, commencing from 4 April 1994 to 3 April 2024. HHED is a Sino-foreign joint venture established in 1994 and its registered capital is owned as to 60% by Cableport and as to the remaining 40% by two independent PRC joint venture partners. As disclosed in the 2006 Annual Report, pursuant to Instruction No. 197 and No. (2003) 31 (the “Instruction”) issued by the Hangzhou City Government on 26 October 2003, commencing from 1 January 2004, all automobiles registered in Hangzhou City are exempted from toll payments. For purpose of compensating HHED the loss of toll receipts collected from automobiles under the Instruction, HHED, in January 2005, entered into an agreement with the Hangzhou City Government, pursuant to which, the Hangzhou City Government would grant a daily compensation of RMB50,000 (the “Initial Daily Compensation”) to HHED for the loss of toll receipts commencing from January 2005. The management of the Company has confirmed that the terms of the said agreement, including the Initial Daily Compensation for subsequent years, are subject to annual review of the Hangzhou City Government. Assuming that the Initial Daily Compensation of RMB50,000 has remained unchanged and excluding the compensation of approximately HK$7.80 million, being part of the total outstanding Initial Daily Compensation paid by the Hangzhou City Government for the year ended 31 December 2006 during 2006, the management of the Company estimated that, in June 2008, the aggregate Initial Daily Compensation outstanding for the two years ended 31 December 2007 and the five months ended 31 May 2008 would amount to approximately HK$37.0 million. In view of the said long outstanding initial compensation receivable from the Hangzhou City Government, the Company, in March 2007, submitted a petition to the PRC court against the Hangzhou City Government, seeking a judgement on such outstanding compensation. As disclosed in the 2007 Annual Report, the PRC court raised the first court hearing in February 2008. According to the Company’s legal advisers as to PRC law, the Hangzhou City Government has agreed that the said outstanding compensation from Hangzhou City Government will be settled when such amount is finalised between the Parties. Due to the lack of any agreement/settlement between the Group and the Hangzhou City Government, the said initial outstanding compensation from Hangzhou City Government was not reflected in the financial statements of the Company as contained in the 2007 Annual Report.

As disclosed in the section headed “Letter from the Board” of the Circular, on 30 July 2008, HHED entered into the Compensation Agreement with Hangzhou City Government pursuant to which, Hangzhou City Government agreed to pay HHED the Initial Daily Compensation of RMB50,000 for the year ended 31 December 2006 and RMB51,250 (the “Adjusted Daily Compensation”) for the three years ending 31

— 17 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

December 2009. The management of the Company estimated that, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the outstanding compensation (excluding the amount of HK$7.8 million received during 2006) under the Compensation Agreement for the two years ended 31 December 2007 and the five months ended 31 May 2008 would be increased to approximately HK$41.3 million (the “Adjusted Total Outstanding Compensation”). However, despite the recent entering into of the Compensation Agreement, the management of the Company has confirmed that, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the litigation between the HHED and the Hangzhou City Government in respect of the outstanding compensation from Hangzhou City Government (which amounted to the Adjusted Total Outstanding Compensation of approximately HK$41.3 million estimated by the management of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date) has not been settled and that the timing and recoverability of such outstanding compensation has remained uncertain.

Having considered (i) the uncertainty as to the timing and the amount relating to settlement of the Adjusted Total Outstanding Compensation by the Hangzhou City Government ; (ii) the avoidance of the Company from incurring further operating losses for the Toll Road after the Disposal and (iii) the intention of the Group to place more focus and resources in the development of its natural resources business, we concur with the Directors’ view that the Disposal forms part of the Group’s new business development strategy and, accordingly, the Disposal is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group.

2. Major terms and condition of the Agreement and Supplemental Agreement

Completion (as supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement) is subject to (i) the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the SGM as required under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and (ii) the parties to the Agreement having obtained the relevant permits, approvals, authorization and waivers for the entering into and consummation of the transactions contemplated under the Agreement. In the event that the abovementioned conditions precedent are not fulfilled or waived prior to 18 September 2008 (or such other date as the parties to the Agreement may agree in writing), the Purchaser and the Company shall not be bound to proceed with the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares nor the assignment of the Shareholders’ Loan. The cash Consideration will be settled upon Completion.

3. The Consideration

The Consideration is arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Parties with reference to the face value of the Shareholder’s Loan and the fair value of Cableport’s 60% equity interest in HHED. The consideration for the assignment of the Shareholder’s Loan is the same as the monetary value of the Shareholder’s Loan of approximately HK$22.4 million. The remaining Consideration of approximately HK$37.6 million represents the consideration for the Sale Shares, which is determined

— 18 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

with reference to the preliminary business valuation (the “Valuation”) of the Company’s attributable interest in HHED of approximately HK$36.1 million as at 31 May 2008 as performed by Vigers and disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 13 June 2008 (subsequently adjusted to approximately HK$35.2 million as stated in the Valuation Report). The consideration for the Sale Shares represents a premium of approximately 6.8% over the Valuation.

We have reviewed and discussed with Vigers regarding the methodology of, and bases and assumption adopted for the Valuation and noted that the Valuation is primarily calculated by discounting the future cash flow derived from the Toll Road and is based on a number of assumptions (details of which are disclosed in the Valuation Report contained in Appendix II to the Circular), with reference to, particularly (i) the economic outlook in general and the specific economic environment related to the Toll Road; (ii) the historical traffic flow of the Toll Road from 2005 to 2007; and (iii) the competitive advantages and disadvantages of the Toll Road and the potential diversion to its competitors. However, it is noted that the Valuation is based on the assumptions that (i) HHED will receive the Adjusted Daily Compensation of RMB51,250 from 2008 to 2024 and the Adjusted Total Outstanding Compensation of approximately HK$41.3 million (despite its uncertainty as to whether the outstanding and the future Adjusted Daily Compensation will be received from the Hangzhou City Government as discussed above) is recoverable; and (ii) the MI Receivables of approximately HK$52.7 million is not included. Given the declining business operations of the Toll Road and the aforesaid litigation relating to the payment of the Compensation (both outstanding and future) by the Hangzhou City Government, we consider that the said methodology is a reasonable approach in establishing the Valuation.

As disclosed in the 2007 Annual Report, the MI Receivables of approximately HK$52.7 million represented the unsecured amounts due from the two independent PRC joint venture partners of HHED and is interest-free with no fixed term of repayment. As disclosed in the 2007 Annual Report, the MI Receivables may be settled through the future dividends to be declared by HHED, the ability of which to declare dividend is dependent on both the future profitability of HHED from its daily operations and the aforesaid daily compensation to be received from the Hangzhou City Government . In view of the continuous decline in the Toll Road’s operations as a result of the growing competition from Hangqian Expressway (as detailed below) and the pending court decision relating to the outstanding compensation from Hangzhou City Government, not to mention the future settlement of the Initial Daily Compensation of RMB50,000 (which is increased to RMB51,250 under the Compensation Agreement) from 2008 to 2024, the Company’s auditors expressed a qualified opinion in this regard on the basis that they were not able to obtain financial information from these minority shareholders of HHED for the purpose of assessing their ability to repay the MI Receivables if HHED is not able to declare sufficient dividends to realise the MI Receivables. Accordingly, the relevant amount of allowance required in respect of the MI Receivables cannot be determined, we concur with the Valuer’s view not to include the MI Receivables in the calculation of the Valuation.

— 19 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Given that the Consideration represents a premium to the Valuation and the Valuation includes the Adjusted Total Outstanding Compensation of approximately HK$41.3 million which is subject to the decision of the PRC court, the failure to receive which will result in a further reduction in the Valuation (and in that case, the Consideration would represent an even higher premium over the Valuation), we consider that the Consideration is fair and reasonable and is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and the terms of the Agreement are on normal commercial terms.

4. Financial impacts of the Disposal

(i) Earnings

Based on the Cableport NAV as at 31 December 2007, the Group is expected to record a loss of approximately HK$6.5 million as a result of the Disposal. Following the Completion, Cableport will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and its assets, liabilities and financial results will no longer be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the whole business segment of management and operation of toll road of the Group in PRC will be terminated after the Disposal. Given the facts that it is doubtful as to whether the Company will receive the Adjusted Total Outstanding Compensation and the future Adjusted Daily Compensation relating to the Toll Road from the Hangzhou City Government and the Company has incurred operating expenses from the Toll Road, the Disposal will avoid the Group to incur further operating losses from the Toll Road and allow the Group to concentrate its resources in the development of its natural resources business.

(ii) Gearing and working capital

According to the 2007 Annual Report, the Group had net debt of approximately HK$71.9 million (being the aggregate of the Company’s interest-bearing borrowings of approximately HK$111.9 million, including bank borrowings of approximately HK$27.8 million and convertible notes of approximately HK$84.1 million, less the cash and bank balances of approximately HK$40.0 million) and equity attributable to the Shareholders of approximately HK$208.3 million as at 31 December 2007, the gearing ratio of the Group (expressed as a percentage of the Company’s net debt over equity attributable to Shareholders) was approximately 34.5%. Given that the Group will receive a cash consideration of HK$60.00 million upon Completion, the gearing ratio of the Group is expected to decrease accordingly.

— 20 —

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(iii) Net asset value

As disclosed in the section headed “Letter from the Board” of the Circular, upon Completion, the total assets of the Group is expected to be reduced by approximately HK$85.7 million, and the total liabilities and amount due to minority interest of the Group is expected to be reduced by approximately HK$1.3 million and approximately HK$77.9 million, respectively. Accordingly, the net asset value of the Group will be decreased by approximately HK$6.5 million as a result of the Disposal.

CONCLUSION AND ANALYSIS

As stated in the Valuation Report, the Toll Road has been under severe competition in recent years, particularly after the establishment of the Hangqian Expressway in 2005 which diverted the traffic flow from the Toll Road. From 2005 to 2007, the Toll Road recorded continuous decline in traffic flow from 874,259 in 2005 to 382,896 in 2007, or a decrease of approximately 56.2%. As a result, the Cableport Group’s results substantially decreased from profit after tax of approximately HK$5.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2006 to a loss of approximately HK$2.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2007. In addition, given that the travelling time from Fuyang City to Hangzhou City through Hangqian Expressway is shorter than the Toll Road, the management of the Company expected that the traffic using the Toll Road will be further reduced. Having considered (i) the historical performance of the Toll Road and the growing competition; (ii) the uncertainty as to the settlement of the outstanding compensation from, and the future payment of the Adjusted Daily Compensation of RMB51,250 by the Hangzhou City Government; (iii) the diversification of the Company’s business into the provision of limousine and airport shuttle transportation services in Hong Kong and the mining and processing of mineral resources as a result of the aforesaid factors; and (iv) the Company’s intention to use the proceeds from the Disposal to finance part of the Acquisition, we are of the view that the Disposal will not only represent an opportunity for the Group to divest its declining business in toll road operations and management in PRC but also prevent the Group from incurring further losses from the Toll Road and enable the Group to realise cash proceeds for its future expansion into the newly emerged natural resources business.

RECOMMENDATION

Based on the above principal factors and reasons, we consider that the Disposal is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and terms of the Agreement (as supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement) are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable in so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and the Disposal is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we would recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution in relation to the Agreement at the SGM.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

1. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

In year 2007, as the Group was uncertain when and how much it can recover from the claims against the Hangzhou City Government, while continuing the litigation, the Group had placed more effort in provision of limousine and airport shuttle transportation services in Hong Kong through Perryville Group and would further look for new investment opportunities. Currently the Group has contracts with over 40 hotels to supply its limousine rental services. Looking ahead, the demand of the highend limousine rental services is increasing in the PRC and the Perryville Group is now establishing footsteps in Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing to capture the market shares in these unexplored markets. Leveraging on our expertise and successful experience in Hong Kong, the Group is very optimistic about its future.

As stated in the announcement of the Company dated 12 February 2008, the Group signed a conditional agreement to acquire a company in Yunnan Province which is principally engaged in exploitation, processing and sale of copper, lead, zinc, arsenic, silver and other mineral resources. The completion of the Acquisition will be subject to certain conditions including the approval of the Shareholders. The Acquisition would allow the Group to further diversify its income base. In view of the increase in demand for natural resources in the world and the increase in the prices of mineral resources over the past years, the Group is optimistic about the future prospects and demand for natural resources. The strong and sustainable growth momentum of the PRC economy and the continuous development of the cities, infrastructure and real estate sectors, demand for mineral resources and their related products will continue to grow robustly. The Group will continue to look for good investment opportunities in the same or in different business areas in order to enhance the long-term value for the Shareholders. The Group will seek ways to further strengthen its capital and liquidity base to facilitate our further business expansion and organic business growth.

2. INDEBTEDNESS STATEMENT

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

At the close of business on 31 May 2008, being the latest practicable date for the purpose of ascertaining certain information relating to this indebtedness statement prior to the printing of this circular, the Enlarged Group had secured bank borrowings of approximately HK$23,422,000, finance lease obligations of approximately HK$4,935,000 and the principal amounts and the carrying amounts of the debt component of the convertible notes of HK$513,500,000 and approximately HK$280,088,000 respectively.

The secured bank borrowings of the Enlarged Group were guaranteed by former shareholder of Perryville Group Limited and related parties of such former shareholder.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The Directors are of the opinion that after taking account of the internal resources, available bank borrowing facilities, the net proceeds from the Disposal and based on the assumption set out in the preceding paragraph, the Enlarged Group, following the completion of the Acquisition and the Disposal, will have sufficient working capital, in the absence of unforeseen circumstances, for its present requirements, that is for at least the next 12 months from the date of this circular.

4. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors confirmed that there was no material adverse change in the financial or trading position of the Group since 31 December 2007, being the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Group were made up.

5. SUMMARY OF AUDIT OPINION

The following paragraphs are extracted from the independent auditor’s report that included in the 2007 Annual Report.

“Basis for qualified opinion

Included in the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2007 are toll road operation rights stated at an aggregate carrying amount of approximately HK$82,203,000 (2006: HK$81,414,000) held by Hangzhou Huanan Engineering Development Co. Ltd. (“HHED”), a subsidiary of the Company. As explained in note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, the directors of the Company have performed an impairment assessment of these toll road operation rights in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), and concluded that no impairment loss is required in respect of the toll road operation rights. The assessment was made based on the assumption that the Group will receive a daily compensation of RMB50,000 from the Hangzhou City Government, the PRC (“Government”) in future years. Other than the amount already received during the year ended 31 December 2006 as detailed below, the Group is still negotiating with the Government as to the remaining amount of compensation to be received by the Group, details of which are set out in notes 8 and 16 to the consolidated financial statements. Other than the compensation of HK$7,804,000 received in 2006, no further compensation has been received or recognized by the Group since then. The Group’s PRC lawyer has advised that a civil petition(「民事起訴狀」)was submitted to the PRC court against the Government seeking a judgement on the compensation amount, but the court decision is still pending. However, the Group’s PRC lawyer has further advised that the Government has agreed that compensation will be paid to the Group once the amount thereof is finalised. In the absence of an agreement between the Group and the Government, or the court decision, as to the final amount of daily compensation in respect of the years ended 31 December 2006, and 31 December 2007 and thereafter, we were unable to assess whether any impairment loss against the toll road operation rights is required.

— 24 —

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

In addition, included in the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2007 are deferred tax assets with an aggregate carrying amount of approximately HK$4,094,000 (2006: HK$4,048,000) in respect of the repairs and renovation costs and impairment loss on toll road operation rights as described in note 29 to the consolidated financial statements. The recoverability of these deferred tax assets is dependent on the ability of HHED to generate future taxable profits which in turn, is dependent on the amount of daily compensation to be received from the Government as described above. Because of the matter explained in the preceding paragraph, we were unable to assess whether these deferred tax assets should be reversed.

Included in the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2007 are amounts due from minority shareholders of HHED with an aggregate carrying amount of approximately HK$52,674,000 (2006: HK$48,872,000). As explained in note 22 to the consolidated financial statements, such amounts may be settled through dividends to be declared by HHED at the discretion of the directors of HHED. As stated above, the ability of HHED to declare dividends is dependent on the profitability of HHED which in turn, is dependent on the amount of daily compensation received from the Government. We were unable to obtain financial information regarding the minority shareholders to assess their ability to repay these amounts in the event that HHED is unable to declare sufficient dividends to realise the amounts due from the minority shareholders. Against this background, we were unable to assess whether allowance is required in respect of the amounts due from these minority shareholders.

There were no alternative audit procedures that we could adopt to satisfy ourselves that the carrying amounts in respect of the toll road operation rights, deferred tax assets and amounts due from minority shareholders of HHED are free from material misstatement. Any adjustment found to be necessary to these amounts would affect the net assets of the Group as at 31 December 2006 and 2007 and its loss for the years ended 31 December 2006 and 2007. The matters referred to above caused us to qualify our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2006.

Qualified opinion arising from limitation of audit scope

In our opinion, except for the effects of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had we been able to satisfy ourselves as to the matters set out in the basis for qualified opinion paragraphs above, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group as at 31 December 2007 and of the Group’s loss and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and have been properly prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.”

VALUATION REPORT ON CABLEPORT

APPENDIX II

BACKGROUND OF THE TOLL ROAD AND INTERESTS OF THE COMPANY

Toll Road — The Toll Road is located at 320 National Highway of Hangzhou, from Xihu region-Shanhusha to Jinjialing, with length of 11.9 kilometers. The main users of the Toll Road are those who frequently travel from Fuyang to Hangzhou.

VALUATION REPORT ON CABLEPORT

APPENDIX II

Toll Rate: The current toll rate applies to three different types of vehicles are shown as following:

Type 1 2 3
Weight of Vehicle_(Tons)_ Below 2 Over 2 and below 5 Over 5
Charge_(RMB)_ 10/vehicle 20/vehicle 30/vehicle

With reference to the discussion with management, the local vehicles(內地車)are not charged for the use of Toll Road, and the government will pay back RMB50,000 per day to the Toll Road as the compensation. In effect, the income of the Toll Road is generated from the toll rate of foreign vehicles(外地車), monthly ticket and other operating income.

In our course of investigation, we observed the following problem on the competitiveness of the Toll Road. Prior to 2005, the Toll Road was the main road from Fuyang to Hangzhou. However, it is found that the operation of 杭千高速公路 (Hangqian Expressway), which was established in 2005, may cause a possible diversion of traffic flow from the Toll Road. From 2005 to 2007, the Toll Road has recorded traffic flows of foreign vehicles(外地車)of 874,259, 472,806 and 382,896 per year respectively. Based on the historical traffic figures of the Toll Road, the number of vehicles in 2006 decreased by 46% as compared to the figures in 2005. The drop in 2007 has reduced to 19%. Since the traveling time could be shortened by driving through 杭千高速公路 (Hangqian Expressway) from Fuyang to Hangzhou, it is expected that the number of vehicle through the Toll Road would be further reduced in 2008. This is witnessed by a drop on the traffic flow from January 2008 to May 2008.

BASIS AND METHODOLOGY OF VALUATION

Our appraisal has been carried out on a market value basis. Market Value is defined as the estimated amount for which an asset should be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.

In arriving at our opinion of value, we make reference to three generally accepted approaches to value, namely; the Market Approach , the Cost Approach and the Income Approach .

Market Approach considers prices recently paid for similar assets, with adjustments made to indicate market prices to reflect condition and utility of the appraised assets relative to the comparable market transactions.

Cost Approach considers the cost to reproduce or replace in new condition the assets appraised in accordance with current market prices for similar assets, with allowance for accrued depreciation as condition or obsolescence present, whether arising from physical, functional or economic causes.

  • For identification purpose only

VALUATION REPORT ON CABLEPORT

APPENDIX II

Income Approach is the conversion of expected periodic benefits of ownership into an indication of value. It is based on the principle that an informed buyer would pay no more for asset than an amount equal to the present worth of anticipated future benefits (income) from the same or equivalent asset with similar risk.

Determination of the Valuation Approach

Market approach is not appropriate since market transactions on toll road interest may not be comparable in terms of their geographical locations, forms of operation and financial structure. Second, since the subject being appraised has “going-concern”, Cost approach will not be considered. Therefore, Income Approach is adopted in the valuation of the Toll Road.

Traffic Flow Estimation

Estimation on the number of vehicle flow of the Toll Road not only make references to the historical traffic records of Toll Road for the year 2005-2007 but also consider possible diversion of traffic flow by the neighboring highway. It is estimated that annual number of vehicle flow with capacity below 2 tons, capacity between 2 and 5 tons and capacity over 5 tons (excluding 5 tons) are 263,700, 41,000 and 26,650 in 2008 respectively. We also assumed the diversion impact on the traffic growth may be stabilized in 2010. The following set out the historical record of each types of vehicles:

Vehicles Below 2 tons 2 and 5 tons Over 5 tons
2005 702,349 111,294 60,616
2006 368,916 69,799 34,091
2007 304,669 47,435 30,792
2008 (January-May) 124,017 17,116 12,171

Cash Flow Projection

The value of the Toll Road is estimated by the Discounted Cash Flow method (DCF method) which captures the net present worth of all future economic benefits contributed by the Toll Road operation. The future economic benefits is measured by the free cash flow to equity (“FCFE”) which is the projected toll income after the deduction of operating expenses, financial charges, possible capital expenditure, working capital and repayment of loan.

Information Reviewed

Our valuation requires consideration of all relevant factors affecting the operation of the business and its ability to generate future investment returns. The factors considered in the valuation included, but were not limited to, the followings:

  • The business nature of the enterprise, business license, articles of association, business agreement and contracts;

— 29 —

VALUATION REPORT ON CABLEPORT

APPENDIX II

  • The economic outlook in general and the specific economic environment related to the Toll Road in Hangzhou;

  • Traffic track record of Toll Road from 2005 to 2007;

  • Financial statements of HHED for the year of 2005 to 2007;

  • Legal documents from the PRC Government on the approval of the Toll Road operation and toll rate being charged;

  • Inspection of the current condition of the Toll Road. However, we have not been commissioned to carry out a structural survey, nor to arrange for an inspection of the services such as electricity supply. Only a full structural survey can provide you with a view as to whether the building is free from defects or as to the possibility of latent defects which might affect our valuation.

  • The financial and business risk of the Toll Road including the trend of income and the related expense;

  • Competitive advantages and disadvantages of the Toll Road and potential diversion to other competitors.

We have reviewed the information required, which is considered sufficient for the issue of the valuation report of the type in question and we believe no material factor has been intentionally omitted or withheld from the given information in order to reach an informed view.

Assumptions

Assumptions considered to have significant sensitivity effects in this valuation were evaluated and validated in order to provide a more accurate and reasonable basis for arriving at our assessed value. Based on our experience in valuing businesses of similar nature, we consider the assumptions made in this valuation report to be reasonable.

Our major assumptions are listed as follows:

  • There will be no material adverse change in the political, legal, fiscal or economic condition in the PRC and other regions in which the enterprise carries on its business;

  • The enterprise will retain its key management, competent personnel and technical staff to support its ongoing operation;

  • Market trend and conditions for the Toll Road in related areas will not deviate significantly from the economic forecasts in general;

— 30 —

VALUATION REPORT ON CABLEPORT

APPENDIX II

  • Revenues of the Toll Road have taken into account of the toll incomes only. We have not made any estimates on impoundable as interest or other incomes. Growth rate on revenues is assumed to have 2% every five years from 2010;

  • It is observed that the toll rate of the Toll Road had not been changed from 1996 despite the inflation experienced in China. It is assumed that all charges will be same throughout the valuation period, and details is shown below:

Type 1 2 3
Charge_(RMB)_ 10/vehicle 20/vehicle 30/vehicle
  • The valuation is prepared on the assumption that the premises in relation to the Toll Road operation are in sound structural condition and that all services are free from defect;

  • We assumed the government compensation remains and the amount of compensation will have no change during the valuation period. We also assumed the outstanding compensation can be recovered;

  • We have also taken into account the view of the Company in relation to the collection of the MI Receivables in the valuation, and hence assumed that the MI Receivables are not recoverable in this valuation.

We have assumed the reasonableness of information provided and relied to a considerable extent on such information in arriving at our opinion of value.

Discount Rate

The discount rate being applied in the DCF model is 10.7%, which is the estimated required rate of return on equity invested in Toll Road operation in People’s Republic of China (PRC). We derived the discount rate based on the Capital Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”) which is given by:

Required rate of return on equity = Risk Free Rate + Estimated Beta x Market Risk Premium

In applying the CAPM to estimate the discount rate, we have made reference to the followings in our estimation:

  • i. The yield of the Hong Kong Exchange Fund Notes in estimating the Risk Free Rate;

  • ii. The market return in Hong Kong; and the return on equity of Hong Kong listed company which engaged in toll road industry or similar line of business in PRC and oversea;

  • iii. The firm specific risk of the Toll Road operation such as fluctuation of traffic flow as a result of possible diversion and the toll rate policy of other competitors.

— 31 —

VALUATION REPORT ON CABLEPORT

APPENDIX II

The required rate of return on equity estimated by CAPM explains only a portion of the total risk, the systematic risk, of an equity investment. We have considered appropriate adjustments to be made on the unsystematic risk or factors might affect the value of the assets being evaluated such as firm-specific risk.

OPINION OF VALUE

Based on the aforesaid investigation, analysis and appraisal method employed, it is our opinion that, as of 31 May 2008, the market value of the Interest is reasonably and approximately stated as Hong Kong Dollar Thirty Five Million One Hundred Ninety Thousand only (HKD35,190,000).

As a sensitivity test, the following set out the value of the Interest under the change of discount rate and the growth rate of the revenue. Under the sensitivity test of discount rate, it tested for the change of value of the Interest if the discount rate applied to the valuation of Toll Road has been adjusted upward or downward by 1%. Under the sensitivity test of growth rate on revenues, it tested for the value of the Interest if the estimated growth rate on revenues for each year adjusted upward or downward by 1%.

Discount rate Decrease by1% Increase by1%
Value of Interest HKD37,750,000 HKD32,850,000
Growth rate on revenues Decrease by1% Increase by1%
Value of Interest HKD34,700,000 HKD35,720,000

The opinion of value was based on generally accepted appraisal procedures and practices that rely extensively on the use of numerous assumptions and the consideration of many uncertainties, not all of which can be easily quantified or ascertained.

We hereby certify that we have neither present nor prospective interests in the assets or the value reported.

However, the Group and the Hangzhou City Government have not yet finalised the renewal agreement for the year of 2006 as agreement on reasonable amount of compensation could not be reached. The Group had obtained legal opinion from a PRC lawyer. As advised by the PRC lawyer of the Group, a civil petition was submitted to the PRC court against the Hangzhou City Government for judgement on the government compensation. Notwithstanding, an aggregate amount of HK$7,804,000 have been received from the Hangzhou City Government as partial payment of compensation during the year of 2006. In the meantime, the court decision has requested both parties to provide further information on toll traffic volume for its judgement.
