1. INTRODUCTION

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with further information in relation to the Continuing Connected Transactions, to set out the recommendations of the Independent Board Committee and the letter of advice from Altus Capital Limited to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders.

A resolution to approve the Continuing Connected Transactions and the Cap Amounts will be proposed at the Special General Meeting to be held on Monday, 24 May 2004. In accordance with the Listing Rules, Mr. Siu and his associates (as defined by the Listing Rules) will be required to abstain from voting on the resolution to approve the Continuing Connected Transactions and the Cap Amounts. The Identified Shareholders who hold approximately 23.16% of the issued shares of the Company have agreed to abstain from voting at the Special General Meeting.

2. BACKGROUND

The Group is principally engaged in manufacturing and trading of magnetic components. Datatronics Romoland is a supplier of magnetic products to the military and aerospace industries in the US. Datatronic and Datatronics Romoland entered into the Master Supply Agreement on 6 June 2001 in respect of supply of magnetics to Datatronics Romoland. A 2nd Master Supply Agreement for a further terms of three years from 1 January 2004 and on effectively the same terms and conditions of the original one (except that the term is a fixed term for three years from 1 January 2004 with no provision for automatic extension) was entered into on 7 April 2004. As Datatronics Romoland is a company owned as to approximately 96.5% by Mr. Siu, the Continuing Connected Transactions constitute connected transactions for the Company under Chapter 14A of the revised Listing Rules which came into effect on 31 March 2004.

Prior to the listing of the Company on the Stock Exchange in June 2001, the Company applied for and was granted by the Stock Exchange the Waiver. The Waiver is for a term of three financial years expiring on 31 December 2003. The Waiver specifies, among other things, the annual limit which the Continuing Connected Transactions shall not exceed for the three financial years ending 31 December 2003. The Company made disclosure by announcement dated 15 January 2004 of the Continuing Connected Transactions to be taken place in the four months ending 30 April 2004 for the total amount of less than HK$10,000,000. The trading of the Company’s shares on the Stock Exchange has been suspended since 15 August 2002 at the request of the Company and will continue to be suspended until further notice.

3. THE CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

3.1 Terms of the Continuing Connected Transactions

The major terms and conditions of the Master Supply Agreement have been summarized in page 50 of the Company’s prospectus dated 12 June 2001:

The Master Supply Agreement is for an initial term of three years from 1 January 2001 and shall continue thereafter until terminated by either party giving to the other party not less than three months’ written notice. Pursuant to the Master Supply Agreement, the selling prices of the magnetics under the Master Supply Agreement are to be agreed between Datatronic and Datatronics Romoland. The Group will determine the price of the magnetics

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

required by Datatronics Romoland according to its pricing policy of obtaining a reasonable profits margin for its sales in accordance with the prevailing market conditions, on normal commercial terms and at arm’s length basis. The Group is granted a first refusal right by Datatronics Romoland to the effect that if Datatronic declines to supply the magnetics, Datatronics Romoland may source the same from any third-party supplier, provided that the terms of purchase shall not be more favourable than those offered to Datatronic.

The Group currently offers credit sales to Datatronics Romoland with a term of payment of 90 days, which is the same to other customers. The balances of accounts receivable from Datatronics Romoland was approximately HK$4 million, HK$4.1 million and HK$10.1 million as at 31 December 2001, 31 December 2002 and 31 December 2003 respectively, which are generally in line with the growth in sales to Datatronics Romoland.

3.2 The amounts of the Continuing Connected Transactions for the years 2001, 2002 and 2003

Set out below are the amounts of the Continuing Connected Transactions for the years 2001, 2002 and 2003.

Financial year	Financial year	Financial year	Financial year
	ended 2001	ended 2002	ended 2003
	HK$’000	HK$’000	HK$’000
Aggregate consideration of the
Continuing Connected Transactions	16,838	14,447	21,679
Total turnover of the Group	163,986	115,381	144,654
Percentage of aggregate consideration
of the Continuing Connected
Transactions to total turnover of
the Group	approx. 10.3%	approx. 12.5%	approx. 15%

Due to the global economic downturn in the year 2002, the total sales of the Group and Datatronics Romoland experienced significant decline. The total turnover of the Group (excluding sales to Datatronics Romoland) decreased from around HK$147.1 million to HK$100.9 million (a drop of approximately 31.4%) and the sales to Datatronics Romoland decreased from around HK$16.8 million to HK$14.4 million (a drop of approximately 14.3%).

4. REASON FOR THE CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

There has been a progressive growth in the purchase orders of magnetics placed by Datatronics Romoland with the Group relative to the other customers of the Group as a whole. During the year ended 31 December 2001, the Group received purchase orders of magnetics from Datatronics Romoland in the total amount of approximately HK$16.8 million, representing about 10.3% of the total turnover of the Group. During the year ended 31 December 2002, the Group received purchase orders of magnetics from Datatronics Romoland in the total amount of approximately HK$14.4 million, representing about 12.5% of the total turnover of the Group. The business of the Group recovered steadily in the year 2003 as with

– 3 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the global economy in general. For the year ended 31 December 2003, Datatronics Romoland placed purchase orders in the total amount of approximately HK$21.68 million for the Group’s magnetics. For the two months from 1 January 2004 to 29 February 2004, Datatronics Romoland placed purchase orders in the total amount of approximately HK$6.3 million for the Group’s magnetics. Based on the current financial projections and the information on the value of purchase orders on hands provided by Datatronics Romoland, the Board expect that additional purchase orders of magnetics will be placed by Datatronics Romoland during the remainder of the year ending 31 December 2004 and onward. Accordingly, it is expected that the total amount of purchase orders from Datatronics Romoland for the whole year ending 31 December 2004 will amount to about HK$39 million.

As far as the Board are aware, Datatronics Romoland is one of the few suppliers of high reliability and military magnetic components to the US military and aerospace industries and the Group is the sole supplier of high reliability and military components to Datatronics Romoland. The continuation of regional military conflicts and instabilities will result in the US government purchasing more high-technology weapons like missiles and fighters, the manufacturing and maintenance of which requires high reliability magnetic components. Moreover, under the 2nd Master Supply Agreement, the Group is granted a first refusal right by Datatronics Romoland to the effect that only if the Group declines to supply the magnetics, Datatronics Romoland may source the same from any third-party supplier, provided that the terms of purchase shall not be more favourable than those offered to the Group. As a result, the Directors believe that Datatronics Romoland will continue to purchase from the Group and the volume will continue to grow.

Besides Datatronics Romoland, the Group’s customers are mainly in the telecommunication and networking industries. Due to the slowing down in demand for the Group’s products in these industries, the sales to customers in these industries by the Group grows relatively slowly as compare to the growth in the sales to Datatronics Romoland. Therefore, there is an increase in the proportion of sales to Datatronics Romoland relative to the total turnover of the Group experienced in the past years.

Based on the above and on the projection provided by Datatronics Romoland, the Directors expect that the sales to be made to Datatronics Romoland will continue to grow for the years ending 31 December 2004, 2005 and 2006. The projected amounts of the Continuing Connected Transactions for the three years ending 31 December 2006 are as follows:

Projection for the year	Projection for the year	Projection for the year
ending 31/12/2004	ending 31/12/2005	ending 31/12/2006
HK$’000	HK$’000	HK$’000
39,000	48,360	56,940

The Directors are of the view that the 2nd Master Supply Agreement has been entered into on normal commercial terms, in the ordinary course of business of the Group and is fair and reasonable to the Shareholders taken as a whole and it is in the interest of the Company to continue the Continuing Connected Transactions upon the same terms and conditions set out in the 2nd Master Supply Agreement. Based on the above projection, the Directors propose that the Cap Amounts of the Continuing Connected Transactions for the 3 years ending 31 December 2004, 2005 and 2006 be HK$39 million, HK$49 million and HK$57 million respectively.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

5. INDEPENDENT SHAREHOLDERS’ APPROVAL

As Datatronics Romoland is a company owned as to approximately 96.5% by Mr. Siu who together with his spouse hold 75% of the issued shares of the Company through Onboard Technology Limited, the Continuing Connected Transactions constitute connected transactions for the Company under Chapter 14A of the revised Listing Rules and would (if not exempted thereunder) require approval of the Independent Shareholders of the Company pursuant to rule 14A.48 of the revised Listing Rules.

The Company will ensure that the Continuing Connected Transactions is in compliance with the provisions of Chapter 14A of the revised Listing Rules and in particulars rules 14A.35 to 14A.41 and 14A.46 governing continuing connected transactions.

The Company would seek approval of the Independent Shareholders of such Continuing Connected Transactions pursuant to rules 14A.35 and 14A.48 of the revised Listing Rules for a period of three financial years ending 31 December 2006.

6. RECOMMENDATIONS

The Independent Board Committee, having taken into account the advice of Altus Capital Limited, considers that the terms of the Continuing Connected Transactions and the Cap Amounts are fair and reasonable insofar as the Independent Shareholders are concerned. Accordingly, it recommends that the Independent Shareholders vote in favour of the resolution to approve the Continuing Connected Transactions and the Cap Amounts.

7. SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

A Special General Meeting of the Company will be convened to approve the Continuing Connected Transactions and the Cap Amounts for the three financial years ending 31 December 2006.

The Board has appointed the Independent Board Committee to consider and advise the Independent Shareholders on the terms of the Continuing Connected Transactions and the Cap Amounts. An independent financial adviser Altus Capital Limited has been appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders.

As the independence of the Identified Shareholders has not been established beyond doubt and while the inquiry on the public float issue by the Stock Exchange is still on-going, the Identified Shareholders who hold approximately 23.16% of the issued shares of the Company have agreed to abstain from voting at the Special General Meeting. In the circumstances, Mr. Siu, the Identified Shareholders and their respective associates will not vote at the Special General Meeting.

Pursuant to Bye-law 66 of the Company, a poll may be demanded by the chairman of the meeting or by at least 3 members present in person (or in case of a member being a corporation by its duly authorized representative) or by proxy for the time being entitled to vote at the meeting or by a member or members present in person (or in case of a member being a corporation by its duly authorized representative) or by proxy and representing not less than one-tenth of the total voting rights of all members having the right to vote at the meeting or by a member or members present in person (or in case

of a member being a corporation by its duly authorized representative) or by proxy and holding shares in the Company conferring a right to vote at the meeting being shares on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less than one-tenth of the total sum paid up on all shares conferring that right. The vote will be taken by poll. Mr. Siu and his spouse through Onboard Technology Limited control 75% of the voting right in respect of their shares in the Company.

A notice convening the Special General Meeting to be held at 15th Floor, North Point Industrial Building, 499 King’s Road, North Point, Hong Kong on Monday, 24 May 2004 at 11:00 a.m. is set out on page 18 of this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the Special General Meeting, please complete and return the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to Hong Kong Registrars Limited at Rooms 1712-16, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding such meeting. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the meeting should you so wish.

Yours faithfully, By order of the Board Sheung Shing Fai Executive Director

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL LIMITED

Set out below is the text of the letter from Altus Capital Limited to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders prepared for inclusion in this Circular:

ALTUS CAPITAL LIMITED

8/F Hong Kong Diamond Exchange Building 8 Duddell Street, Central

Hong Kong

7 May 2004

To the Independent Board Committee and Independent Shareholders

Dear Sirs

CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

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 Continuing Connected Transactions, particulars of which are set out in the “Letter from the Board” (the “Letter”) contained in the circular to the Shareholders dated 7 May 2004 (the “Circular”) and in which this letter is reproduced. Unless the context requires otherwise, terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as given to them under the definitions section of the Circular.

Datatronic and Datatronics Romoland entered into the Master Supply Agreement on 6 June 2001 in respect of supply of magnetics to Datatronics Romoland. As Datatronics Romoland is a company owned as to approximately 96.5% by Mr. Siu, the Continuing Connected Transactions constitute connected transactions for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

BASIS OF OUR OPINION

In formulating our opinion, we have relied to a considerable extent on the information, statements, opinion and representations supplied to us by the Company and the directors of the Company and we have assumed that all such information, statements, opinions and representations contained or referred to in the circular were true and accurate and complete at the time they were made and continue to be true at the date of the circular, and we have relied on the same. We have also assumed that all statements of belief, opinion and intention of the directors of the Company as set out in the Letter were reasonably made after due and careful inquiry. We have also sought and obtained confirmation from the Company that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided and referred to in the circular. We have also discussed with the management of the Company their plans for the Group and the prospects of the businesses of the Group.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL LIMITED

We consider that we have been provided with, and we have reviewed, all currently available information and documents which are available under present circumstances to enable us to reach an informed view regarding the Continuing Connected Transactions and to justify reliance on the accuracy of the information contained in the Circular so as to provide a reasonable basis of our opinion. We have no reason to suspect that any material facts or information (which is known to the Company) have been omitted or withheld from the information supplied or opinions expressed in the Circular nor to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information and facts, or the reasonableness of the opinions expressed by the Company and the directors of the Company which have been provided to us. We have not, however, carried out any independent verification on the information provided to us by the directors of the Company, nor have we conducted an independent in-depth investigation into the business and affairs of the Group.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our recommendation in respect of the terms of the Continuing Connected Transactions, we have taken the following principal factors and reasons into consideration:

1. Background and reasons for the Continuing Connected Transactions

The Group is principally engaged in manufacturing and trading of magnetic components. Datatronics Romoland is a supplier of magnetic products to the military and aerospace industries in the US and the Group is the sole supplier of magnetic components to Datatronics Romoland. The Group and Datatronics Romoland from time to time conduct transactions on an order by order basis, on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary course of business of the Group. Datatronic and Datatronics Romoland entered into the Master Supply Agreement on 6 June 2001 in respect of supply of magnetics to Datatronics Romoland. A 2nd Master Supply Agreement for a further terms of three years from 1 January 2004 and on effectively the same terms and conditions of the original one (except that the term is a fixed term for three years from 1 January 2004 with no provision for automatic extension) was entered into on 7 April 2004. Since Mr. Siu is the controlling shareholder of the Company and Datatronics Romoland, the Continuing Connected Transactions constitute connected transactions for the Company under the Listing Rules.

The Stock Exchange has granted a waiver to the Company from strict compliance with Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules which were in force immediately prior to 31 March 2004 in respect of the Continuing Connected Transactions for three financial years ended on 31 December 2003 with the conditions stated in the prospectus of the Company dated 12 June 2001 (“Prospectus”) and a cap amount of not exceeding 15% of the total turnover of the Group for the relevant year.

As stipulated in the Prospectus, the previous waiver granted by the Stock Exchange to the Company was subject to a number of conditions, among others, the annual review by the auditors of the Company (the “Auditors”) as to whether i) the Continuing Connected Transactions have received the approval of the Board; ii) the Continuing Connected Transactions were conducted in accordance with the pricing policies of the Group; and iii) the cap amount has not been exceeded. Based on the letters to the Company from the Auditors dated 25 April 2002 and 30 April 2003 (the “Auditors’ Letters”), we have learnt that the Auditors have duly examined the supporting invoices and other relevant documents relating to the Continuing Connected Transactions. The Auditors noted in the Auditors’ Letters that the Board has approved the Continuing Connected Transactions

– 9 –

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL LIMITED

conducted and confirmed to the Board that either no exception was noted or the Continuing Connected Transactions conducted were in accordance with the Group’s pricing policies and that the respective amount of the Continuing Connected Transactions for each of the year in the relevant period have not exceeded the cap amount under the previous waiver.

In view of the above, it can be demonstrated that the Company has a track record of endeavouring to fulfill strictly the requirements and conditions specified under the previous waiver.

2. Major terms of the Continuing Connected Transactions

The major terms and conditions of the Continuing Connected Transactions have been summarised in page 50 of the Prospectus:

The Master Supply Agreement is for an initial term of three years from 1 January 2001 and shall continue thereafter until terminated by either party giving to the other party not less than three months’ written notice. Pursuant to the Master Supply Agreement, the selling prices of the magnetics under the Master Supply Agreement are to be agreed between Datatronic and Datatronics Romoland. The Group will determine the price of the magnetics required by Datatronics Romoland according to its pricing policy of obtaining a reasonable profits margin for its sales in accordance with the prevailing market conditions, on normal commercial terms and at arm’s length basis. The Group is granted a first refusal right by Datatronics Romoland to the effect that if Datatronic declines to supply the magnetics, Datatronics Romoland may source the same from any third-party suppliers, provided that the terms of purchase shall not be more favourable than those offered to Datatronic.

According to the management, the Group currently offers credit sales to Datatronics Romoland with a term of payment of 90 days, which is similar to other customers.

The directors of the Company are of the view that the 2nd Master Supply Agreement has been entered into on normal commercial terms, in the ordinary course of business of the Group and is fair and reasonable to the Shareholders taken as a whole and it is in the interest of the Company to continue the Continuing Connected Transactions upon the same terms and conditions set out in the 2nd Master Supply Agreements. Under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, the Continuing Connected Transactions normally require disclosure and/or Independent Shareholders’ approval on each occasion they arise.

We have reviewed samples of copies of purchase orders and the bills of materials list of i) the Continuing Connected Transactions; and ii) transactions entered into between the Group and other independent third parties. We have calculated the gross profit margin and noted that the gross profit margins from the Continuing Connected Transactions are comparable to those obtained from independent customers as reviewed by us. We are therefore of the opinion that the sales under the Continuing Connected Transactions are no more favourable to Datatronics Romoland than those sales to other customers of the Group.

On the basis that the Continuing Connected Transactions (i) was entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and on normal commercial terms; and (ii) the gross profit margins of the Continuing Connected Transactions are comparable to those obtained from independent customers, we consider that the Continuing Connected Transactions provide the Group with additional source of income and is in the interest of the Group and the Shareholders.

3. Cap Amount

As stated in the Letter, the Cap Amount for the Continuing Connected Transactions will not exceed HK$39,000,000, HK$49,000,000 and HK$57,000,000 for each financial year until the year ending 31 December 2006.

Furthermore, as stated in the Letter, there has been a progressive growth in the purchase orders of magnetics placed by Datatronics Romoland with the Group relative to the other customers of the Group as a whole.

For the year ended 31 December	Purchases placed by Datatronics Romoland
	(HK$’000)
2001	16,838
2002	14,447
2003	21,679

The directors of the Company consider that the business of the Group recovered steadily in the year 2003 as with the global economy in general. The unaudited turnover for the six months ended 30 June 2003 increased by 17.9% over the corresponding period of last year. For the year ended 31 December 2003, Datatronics Romoland placed purchase orders in the total amount of approximately HK$21.68 million for the Group’s magnetics. During the two months ended 29 February 2004, Datatronics Romoland placed purchase orders in the total amount of approximately HK$6.3 million for the Group’s magnetics. Based on the current financial projections and the information on the value of purchase orders on hands provided by Datatronics Romoland, the directors of the Company expect that additional purchase orders of magnetics will be placed by Datatronics Romoland during the remainder of the year ending 31 December 2004 and onward.

The directors of the Company consider that continuation of regional military conflicts and instabilities has led to an increase in demand of magnetic products from the military and aerospace industries in the US, which in turn raised the demand of Datatroncs Romoland for the Group’s products.

Based on the above and on the projected purchases for the three years ending 31 December 2006 provided by Datatronics Romoland, the directors of the Company expect that the sales to be made to Datatronics Romoland will continue to grow for the years ending 31 December 2004, 2005 and 2006. The projected amounts of the Continuing Connected Transactions for the three years ending 31 December 2006, which, according to the directors of the Company, are based on the development of new products by Datatronics Romoland, the increase in demand in existing products of Datatronics Romoland and the expected increase in defence budget of the government

of US, are US$5.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$39,000,000), US$6.2 million (equivalent to approximately HK$48,360,000) and US$7.3 million (equivalent to approximately HK$56,940,000). The directors of the Company, therefore, propose that the Cap Amount for the coming three financial years ending 31 December 2006 to be HK$39,000,000, HK$49,000,000 and HK$57,000,000 respectively. Having considered the sales made to Datatronics Romoland for the two months ended 29 February 2004 and the projections made by the Company, we consider that the Cap Amount is justifiable.

In view of the above, we concur with the view of the directors of the Company that the Cap Amount of HK$39,000,000, HK$49,000,000 and HK$57,000,000 for the coming three financial years ending 31 December 2006 does offer greater flexibility of the Group and is justifiable.

4. Independent Shareholders’ approval

As Datatronics Romoland is a company owned as to approximately 96.5% by Mr. Siu, the Continuing Connected Transactions constitute connected transactions for the Company under Chapter 14A of the revised Listing Rules. The Company would seek the approval of the Independent Shareholders for the Continuing Connected Transactions pursuant to rules 14A.35 and 14A.48 of the revised Listing Rules for a period of three financial years ending 31 December 2006. Furthermore, the Company will ensure that the Continuing Connected Transactions is in compliance with the provisions of Chapter 14A of the revised Listing Rules and in particulars rules 14A.35 to 14A.41 and 14A.46 governing continuing connected transactions.

On this basis, we consider that the Company has taken appropriate measures to govern itself in carrying out the Continuing Connected Transactions, thereby safeguarding the interest of the Independent Shareholders thereunder.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the above principal factors and reasons, we are of the view that the Continuing Connected Transactions are in the usual and ordinary course of business of the Company and the terms and conditions of the Continuing Connected Transactions, including the Cap Amount, are on normal commercial terms and fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and are in the interest of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders and recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution to approve the Continuing Connected Transactions and the Cap Amount to be proposed at the Special General Meeting.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of

Altus Capital Limited Kevin Chan
