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. 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 SHARE SUBDIVISION AND
PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE
INTRODUCTION
The Board announced on 13 December 2007 that it intends to put forward to the Shareholders for approving the proposal relating to the Share Subdivision. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with details of the Share Subdivision, the trading arrangements in respect of the Subdivided Shares, the procedure for the free exchange of Existing Share Certificates for New Share Certificates, the proposed change in board lot size together with a notice convening the EGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
I. SUBDIVISION OF SHARES AND CHANGE OF BOARD LOT SIZE
The Board proposes that each of the issued and unissued Existing Shares of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company will be subdivided into 10 shares of HK$0.001 each. The Share Subdivision will become effective upon the fulfillment of the conditions set out in the sub-section headed “Conditions of the Share Subdivision” below.
The Existing Shares are currently traded in board lots of 4,000 Existing Shares. Upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the Subdivided Shares will be traded in board lots of 20,000 Subdivided Shares. The change of board lot size will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders. No odd lots of Subdivided Shares will result from the Share Subdivision and the change of the board lot size, other than those already existed before the Share Subdivision becoming effective.
The Board believes that the Share Subdivision coupled with the change in board lot size will facilitate trading and improve the liquidity in trading of the Company's shares, thereby enabling the Company to attract more investors and widen the Company's shareholder base. Given the prevailing market conditions, a more liquid market will provide more flexibility for investors to buy and sell shares in the Company. Accordingly, the Board considers the Share Subdivision to be in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Save for the costs to be incurred by the Company in implementing the Share Subdivision, the Share Subdivision will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportional interests of the Shareholders in the Company. The Board considers that the Share Subdivision will not have any adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Nuada Limited, the Company's independent financial adviser, has considered the accuracy of the computation of the above adjustments by reference to the terms of the Shares Option Scheme, the GEM Listing Rules, the Supplementary Guidance and the terms of the Convertible Bonds (as the case maybe), and it has come to a conclusion that such adjustments are fair and reasonable. Separate notification regarding the above adjustments will be sent to holders of the share options of the Company and holders of the Convertible Bonds.
III. LISTING AND DEALING
An application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of and permission to deal in the Subdivided Shares arising from the Share Subdivision.
Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subdivided Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Subdivided Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the Subdivided Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as may be determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second trading day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.
For those persons whose interests in the Company are currently held through CCASS, dealings in the Subdivided Shares are expected to be capable of settlement through CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the Subdivided Shares on the Stock Exchange and without any need on the part of such persons to deposit New Share Certificates in respect of the Subdivided Shares with HKSCC.
IV. FREE EXCHANGE OF SHARE CERTIFICATES
Subject to the fulfillment of the conditions set out above and the Share Subdivision taking effect, it is expected that as from 21 January 2008, New Share Certificates will be issued in board lots of 20,000 Subdivided Shares. The Existing Share Certificates will only be valid for delivery, trading and settlement purposes for the period up to 4:00 p.m. on 28 February 2008 and thereafter will not be accepted for delivery, trading and settlement purposes. However, the Existing Share Certificates will continue to be good evidence of legal title to the Subdivided Shares on the basis of one Existing Share for 10 Subdivided Shares and may be exchanged free of charge for the New Share Certificates for Subdivided Shares upon submission of the Existing Share Certificates to the Company's branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong, between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. from 21 January 2008 to 4 March 2008 (both days inclusive).

It is expected that New Share Certificates will be available for collection within a period of 10 business days after the submission of the Existing Share Certificates.
