PROPOSED APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 8 February 2013, 19 February 2013, respectively, together with the poll result announcement dated 15 March 2013, in relation to the Removal and the SHINEWING Appointment. Further reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 25 April 2013 in relation to the Appointment.
PROPOSED APPOINTMENT OF ZHONGLEI AS AUDITORS
As at the Latest Practicable Date, SHINEWING is still going through its client acceptance procedures and cannot reach an agreed timetable with the Company for the annual audit. Further, the proposed audit fee of SHINEWING is not acceptable to the Company. In order to avoid further delay in the preparation and publication of the annual results announcement and the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2012, the Board will not appoint SHINEWING as the auditors of the Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Board proposes to appoint ZHONGLEI as the auditors of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2012. ZHONGLEI had informed the Board that before the completion of ZHONGLEI’s client acceptance procedures, including but not limited to the obtaining of satisfactory result of any pre-acceptance procedures which ZHONGLEI considers necessary in relation to the Observations, ZHONGLEI will not commence the audit of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012. ZHONGLEI estimated that the pre-acceptance procedures would be completed in 21 days from 25 April 2013. The Board considered that ZHONGLEI offered more favourable terms in its fee to act as the new auditors of the Group as compared with SHINEWING and that ZHONGLEI has provided the Company with a more definite estimate time for the completion of its client acceptance procedures.
