LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASON FOR THE DISPOSAL

The Yole Group, as a predominant provider of mobile digital entertainment content specialising in the feature phone market in the PRC, is set to enter into the smart phone market, an irreversible global trend which requires enormous capital investment in technology enhancement and system re-deployment for the conversion into the smart phone market. Amid the recent high volatility in the global stock market and the unstable world economic situation, the Board adopts a cost leadership and more prudent approach to preserve capital strength for future investment opportunities. Having considered the offer of the Purchaser, the Board considers that the Disposal will further strengthen the cash position of the Group. The proceeds from the Disposal are intended to be used for general working capital of the Group. The Board is confident to further develop the Company into a leading mobile Internet provider as the Group, possessing hands-on experience and network, is immersed with ample opportunities to develop in the smart phone market in the PRC.

The Board considers that the terms of the S&P Agreement are fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms, and the entering into of the S&P Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL ON THE EARNINGS, ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE GROUP

Upon the Completion, Yole Wireless will cease to be a subsidiary of the Group and its financial results will cease to be consolidated into the consolidated accounts of the Group.

Earnings

Based on the unaudited consolidated accounts of Yole Wireless as at 30 September 2011, the Group expects to record a loss of approximately HK$51.0 million from the Disposal, which is calculated with reference to the Consideration less the carrying value attributable to the Sale Shares as at 30 September 2011 and the goodwill of approximately HK$71.9 million aroused upon acquisition of the Sale Shares by the Group.

According to the unaudited management accounts of the Yole Group for the year ended 31 December 2010 (as disclosed under the heading “Information about Yole Wireless” in this letter from the Board), the Yole Group recorded profit-making position. Upon the Completion, it is expected that the earnings of the Group would be decreased.

Assets and liabilities

Based on the total assets and total liabilities of the Yole Group as at 30 September 2011 as shown in the unaudited consolidated accounts of the Yole Group as at 30 September 2011, it is expected that the total assets and total liabilities of the Group will be decreased by approximately HK$61.3 million and HK$10.3 million respectively upon the Completion.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECT OF THE GROUP

Net2Gather (China) Holdings Limited (“Net2Gather”, or the “Group”) is a Mobile Internet service provider in China. The current principal activities of the Group are the provisions of (1) online gaming business (development of online games, sale of related auxiliary products and licensing of gaming services), (2) Mobile Internet business (content development, operation, marketing and distribution of mobile and social games with related services), and investment holding.

Net2Gather operates the online games platform through its subsidiary Moliyo Group, which has a database of more than 40 million subscribers for its existing award-winning online games. The veteran game developer has recently developed two next-generation and much-anticipated Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Games (MMORPGs), “Tales of Ocean Fantasy” and “Superhero”. These are expected to be launched in 2012. “Tales of Ocean Fantasy” and “Superhero” have already been named the “Most Anticipated Online Game” and “Best Self-Developed Online Game”, respectively, in China’s prestigious Golden Plume Awards. iPhone versions of these games are also being developed. The Board is confident that the two new games will make significant revenue contribution to the Group in the days ahead. Moliyo is dedicated to its two-pronged approach in enriching its gaming portfolio — self-development and licensing of well-received game titles from overseas developers. Moliyo is also one of the leading publishers in China’s online gaming industry, which generates scalable income to fuel the Moliyo’s development.

Net2Gather’s mobile internet business operates through its subsidiary Oberon Information Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. Its mobile game portfolio includes Oberon Media’s 1,200-plus casual games, which will be localised and marketed to capture the burgeoning Mobile Internet market. Invested by Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Oak Investment Partners, Oberon Media is one of the largest global social game developers, whose game solutions are adopted by some of the world’s innovative corporations, including Microsoft, AT&T, Electronic Arts, Orange France and Yahoo!. Thus far, two games have been completed porting and localisation, and were launched in China. The mobile team is also developing a multi-player mobile social game based on the Apple iOS and soon the Android platforms, both targeted at the fast growing smart phone market in China. Moreover, Net2Gather also intends to seek strategic partnerships with leading mobile content developers and publishers in North America and Japan in order to introduce quality mobile game titles into China.

The Group is committed to aggregating various Mobile Internet services into an integrated platform, including content (upstream), operating platforms (midstream) and distribution channels (downstream), via mergers and acquisitions. Net2Gather aims to build a cross-value chain of activities to enable people to come together in an online community in China that combines Mobile, Internet and Television platforms in line with the move towards convergence.
