LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED CHANGE OF AUDITORS
The Board announced on 30 January 2013 that HLM & Co. has resigned as the auditors of the Company with effect from 16 January 2013. The Board proposed to appoint HLM CPA Limited as the new auditors of the Company to fill the vacancy arising from the resignation of HLM & Co. and to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company. Pursuant to the Articles, the appointment of new auditors is subject to approval by the Shareholders at the Special General Meeting.
REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED CHANGE OF AUDITORS
The Company was informed by HLM & Co. that the practice of HLM & Co. as partnership was reorganised into a limited company named HLM CPA Limited on 16 January 2013. Owing to this reason, HLM & Co. has resigned as auditors of the Company with effect from 16 January 2013.
SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING
A notice convening the Special General Meeting of the Company to be held at 13/F, Admiralty Centre, Tower II, 18 Harcourt Road, Admiralty, Hong Kong on Friday, 1 March 2013, at 11:00 a.m. is set out on pages 5 to 6 of this circular.
A form of proxy for the Special General Meeting is enclosed herewith. Whether or not you intend to attend and vote at the Special General Meeting in person, you are requested to complete the form of proxy and return it to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Union Registrars Limited, 18th Floor, Fook Lee Commercial Centre, Town Place, 33 Lockhart Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the Special General Meeting. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the Special General Meeting or any adjourned meetings should you so wish.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Listing Rules, all votes to be taken at the Special General Meeting will be by poll.
RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Group. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
contained in this document is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this document misleading.
RECOMMENDATION
HLM & Co. has been the auditors of the Company since 2010. Its resignation as auditors of the Company was due only to its reorganisation from a partnership into a limited company. Save for the change in its practice status, the practice of HLM CPA Limited is the same as that of HLM & Co.. The Directors consider that the proposed appointment of HLM CPA Limited as the auditors of the Company is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole, as it will provide continuity and minimum interruption to the operation of the Company. Accordingly, the Directors recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Special General Meeting.
Yours faithfully,
By order of the Board of
Wai Chun Group Holdings Limited Lam Ching Kui
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
