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 of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will 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.

To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED CHANGE OF AUDITORS
The directors (the “Directors”) of Wafer Systems Limited (the “Company”) proposed to change the auditors of the Company as the Board and Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (“Deloitte”), the auditors of the Company, could not reach an agreement on the audit fees for the financial year ending 31 December 2006.
Deloitte were re-appointed as auditors of the Company at the last annual general meeting of the Company held on 28 April 2006 to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company. The Company received a notice of resignation from Deloitte in respect of their services as auditors of the Company and its subsidiaries with effect from 8 December 2006. In accordance with the articles of association of the Company, if the office of auditors becomes vacant by the resignation of the auditors, the Directors will as soon as practicable convene an extraordinary general meeting to fill the vacancy.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Deloitte have confirmed that there are no circumstances in respect of their resignation which they consider should be brought to the attention of the shareholders of the Company and shareholders or creditors of its subsidiaries incorporated in Hong Kong. To the best knowledge of the Directors, there are also no circumstances connected with the change of auditors which they consider should be brought to the attention of the shareholders or creditors of the Group.
Deloitte have not yet commenced any audit work on the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries for the financial year ending 31 December 2006. It is expected that the change of auditors of the Company will not affect the audit and the release of the annual results of the Company for the financial year ending 31 December 2006.
The Directors propose to appoint CCIF CPA Limited as auditors of the Company to fill the vacancy and hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company. The appointment of CCIF CPA Limited as auditors of the Company in place of Deloitte is subject to the approval by the shareholders of the Company at an extraordinary general meeting to be convened pursuant to the articles of association of the Company.
An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company to approve the proposed change of auditors of the Company. None of the shareholders of the Company are required to abstain from voting at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company. The extraordinary general meeting of the Company is to be held at Units 901-7, 9th Floor, MLC Millennia Plaza, 663 King’s Road, North Point, Hong Kong on Saturday, 30 December, 2006 at 3:30 p.m. The notice of the extraordinary general meeting is set out in this circular. A form of proxy for use at the extraordinary general meeting is also enclosed.
