CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been established as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high investment risk may be attached. In particular, companies may list on GEM with neither a track record of profitability nor any obligation to forecast future profitability. Furthermore, there may be risks arising out of the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM and the business sectors or countries in which the companies operate. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

The principal means of information dissemination on GEM is publication on the internet website operated by the Stock Exchange. GEM-listed companies are not generally required to issue paid announcements in gazetted newspapers. Accordingly, prospective investors should note that they need to have access to the GEM website at www.hkgem.com in order to obtain up-to-date information on GEM-listed issuers.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR INVESTMENT IN XIAOXIANG TRAVELING

The Group always aims at shareholder value enrichment through diversification of business. As the economic development of Nanyue District, Hengyang City is growing rapidly, the Group believes that investment in Xiaoxiang Traveling provides a good opportunity for the Group to benefit from the exponential economic growth of the district. As the project of Hengshan Terminal belongs to Xiaoxiang Traveling, the rental income derived from the letting of shops, car park fee and potential service charge will provide another constant income stream to the Group.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER GEM LISTING RULES

As both the asset test ratio and the consideration test ratio exceed 5% but are below 25%, the transaction of entering into the JV Agreement constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company pursuant to Rule 19.07 of the GEM Listing Rules. The transaction is subject to the disclosure requirements pursuant to Rule 19.34 and 19.38 of the GEM Listing Rules.

Save for the entering into of JV Agreement, the Group has no other transaction with BJZYCY within a 12 month period. The transaction is thus not subject to Rule 19.22 of the GEM Listing Rules.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Your attention is also drawn to the additional information contained in the appendix to this circular.

Yours faithfully, By order of the Board Beijing Beida Jade Bird Universal Sci-Tech Company Limited Xu Zhen Dong Chairman
