LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REPURCHASE MANDATE

At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase Shares subject to the criteria set forth in this circular. In particular, you should note that the maximum number of Shares that may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate will be such number which represents 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as of the date of passing of the resolution, subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules. The Repurchase Mandate will end on the earliest of the date of the next annual general meeting of the Company, the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by any applicable laws or the Articles and the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

In accordance with the Listing Rules, the Company is required to send to the Shareholders an explanatory statement, which is set forth in appendix I to this circular.

GENERAL MANDATE

At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with further Shares or to grant any offers, agreements or options which would or might require Shares to be issued, allotted or disposed of, representing up to 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as of the date of passing of the resolution.

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

Pursuant to Article 83(3) of the Articles, the Directors shall have the power from time to time and at any time to appoint any person as a Director either to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or as an addition to the existing Board. Any Director appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy shall hold office until the first general meeting of Shareholders after his appointment and be subject to re-election at such meeting and any Director appointed by the Board as an addition to the existing Board shall hold office only until the next following annual general meeting of the Company and shall then be eligible for re-election. Any Director appointed pursuant to Article 83(3) of the Articles shall not be taken into account in determining which particular Directors or the number of Directors who are to retire by rotation.

Pursuant to Article 84 of the Articles, at each annual general meeting one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement at an annual general meeting at least once every three years and shall then be eligible for re-election.

Mr. QIAN Pingfan will retire at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with Article 83(3) of the Articles and Mr. HUANG Guosheng and Mr. WENG Li will retire by rotation in accordance with Article 84 of the Articles. All retiring Directors, being eligible, would offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting. Details of such retiring Directors are set forth in Appendix II to this circular.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

A notice of the Annual General Meeting is set forth in appendix III to this circular. At the Annual General Meeting, resolutions will be proposed to approve, inter alia, the Repurchase Mandate, the General Mandate and the re-election of the Directors. The Annual General Meeting will be held at Alexandra Room, 2/F, Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong Limited, 5 Connaught Road, Central, Hong Kong on 26 May 2011 at 3:00 p.m..

VOTING BY WAY OF A POLL

According to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. Therefore, poll voting for all proposed resolutions of the Company will be proceeded with at the Annual General Meeting.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in this circular and confirm, having made all reasonable enquiries, that to the best of their knowledge and belief, there are no other facts the omission of which would make any statement contained herein misleading.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

This appendix contains particulars that are required by the Listing Rules to be included in an explanatory statement to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the Repurchase Mandate.

PROPOSED SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

It is proposed that the Directors be granted the Repurchase Mandate such that they may exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase up to 10% of the Shares in issue as of the date of passing of the relevant resolution. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 1,037,500,000 Shares and they were all fully paid up. Accordingly, the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full (being the repurchase of 10% of the Shares in issue as of the date of the passing of the resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate) would enable the Company to repurchase a maximum of 103,750,000 Shares (assuming no Share is issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the passing of the relevant resolution).

REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. Whilst it is not possible to anticipate in advance any specific circumstance in which the Directors might think it appropriate to repurchase Shares, the Directors believe that an ability to do so would give the Company additional flexibility that would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at that time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value for each Share and/or earnings for each Share. Shareholders can be assured that the Directors would only make such purchases in circumstances where they consider them to be in the best interests of the Company.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In making repurchases, the Company proposes to apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum of association, the Articles, the Listing Rules and the Companies Law. Under the Companies Law, Shares repurchased by the Company may only be paid out of profits or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose, or, if so authorised by its memorandum of association, the Articles and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital. Any premium payable on share repurchases may only be paid out of profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account, or, if so authorised by the Articles and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital. In accordance with the Companies Law, the Shares so repurchased would remain part of the authorised but unissued share capital of the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

IMPACT OF REPURCHASE

On the basis of the consolidated financial position of the Company as of 31 December 2010 (being the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Company have been made up) and in particular the working capital position of the Company at that time and the number of Shares now in issue, the Directors consider that there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital position and the gearing position of the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full. No repurchase would be made by the Company in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital position or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the latest published audited financial statements).

PRICE OF SHARES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:–

**Share ** price
Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2010
April 3.11 2.28

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX I

UNDERTAKING

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, none of the connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell his/her/its Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, nor has he/she/it undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the memorandum of association of the Company, the Articles and the Companies Law.

TAKEOVERS CODE

If on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Fortune Pearl International Limited, being the substantial Shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company, together with its associates, was beneficially interested in 593,000,000 Shares representing approximately 57.16% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise the Repurchase Mandate in full, the interests of Fortune Pearl International Limited, together with its associates, in the Company would be increased to approximately 63.51% of the issued share capital, which will not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code but will reduce the amount of Shares held by the public to below 25% of the total issued share capital of the Company.

The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to the extent that the purchase would result in the amount of Shares being held by the public to fall below 25% of the total issued share capital of the Company nor to the extent that would result in an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as the above, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the previous six months from the Latest Practicable Date, there was no repurchase of its Shares made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
