INTRODUCTION

On 2 May 2006, the Company announced the proposed: (i) Increase in Authorised Share Capital; (ii) Bonus Issue; (iii) Change of Company Name; and (iv) change in board lot size. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with further details in respect of the aforesaid and to give you notice of the SGM at which resolutions will be proposed to consider and, if thought fit, approve items (i), (ii) and (iii) above.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was HK$6,500,000 comprising 650,000,000 Shares of HK$0.01 each, out of which 392,707,524 Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid. In order to accommodate future expansion and growth of the Group and to facilitate the proposed Bonus Issue, the Board proposes the Increase in Authorised Share Capital, which involves increase in the authorised share capital to HK$200,000,000 comprising 20,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.01 each by the creation of an additional 19,350,000,000 Shares of HK$0.01 each.

Immediately after the completion of the Increase in Authorised Share Capital and assuming no new Shares are issued prior to the SGM, the authorised share capital of the Company will comprise authorised ordinary share capital of HK$200,000,000 divided into 20,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.01 each, with 392,707,524 issued Shares and 19,607,292,476 unissued Shares.

The Increase in Authorised Share Capital is conditional upon the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the SGM, and no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on such resolution.

PROPOSED BONUS ISSUE

Background

It was announced on 2 May 2006 that the Bonus Issue would be proposed to take place after the Increase in Authorised Share Capital becomes effective. Subject to the conditions set out below, the Bonus Issue will be made, by way of capitalisation of sums standing to the credit of the Company’s share premium account, to Shareholders whose names appear on the Register on the Record Date on the basis of nine (9) Bonus Shares, credited as fully paid, for every existing Share held.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had no outstanding options, warrants or other securities convertible into or giving rights to subscribe for Shares. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 392,707,524 Shares in issue. On this basis, an aggregate of 3,534,367,716 Bonus Shares of HK$0.01 each will be issued under the Bonus Issue and an amount of HK$35,343,677.16 will be capitalised from the Company’s share premium account. The total number of Shares in issue upon completion of the Bonus Issue will be increased to 3,927,075,240 Shares.

The Bonus Shares will be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued Shares with effect from the date of issue, except that they will not be eligible for the Bonus Issue.

Conditions of the Bonus Issue

The Bonus Issue is conditional upon the following conditions being fulfilled:

  • (i) the passing by the Shareholders at the SGM of an ordinary resolution approving the Increase in Authorised Share Capital;

— 5 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (ii) the passing by the Shareholders at the SGM of an ordinary resolution approving the Bonus Issue; and

  • (iii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange agreeing to grant the approval for the listings of, and permission to deal in, the Bonus Shares to be issued pursuant to the Bonus Issue.

Closure of Register

The Register will be closed from Monday, 12 June 2006 to Monday, 19 June 2006 (both dates inclusive) for determining the Shareholders’ entitlements to the Bonus Issue. No transfers of Shares will be registered during this period. The last day for dealing in Shares cum entitlements to the Bonus Issue will be on Wednesday, 7 June 2006.

To qualify for the Bonus Issue, all transfers of Shares accompanied by the relevant share certificate(s) must be lodged with the Branch Share Registrar for registration no later than 4:00 p.m. on Friday, 9 June 2006.

Reasons for the Bonus Issue

The Bonus Issue will allow the Shareholders to participate in the growth of the Company. It will also provide the Company with a wider capital base and is expected to increase the marketability of the Shares.

Certificates for Bonus Shares

In the absence of any specific instruction to the contrary received in writing by the Branch Share Registrar, it is expected that certificates for the Bonus Shares, in board lot size of 5,000 and in the existing name of the Company, will be despatched by ordinary post to the Shareholders at their own risk on or before Tuesday, 27 June 2006 to their respective addresses shown in the Register on the Record Date or, in the case of joint holders, to the address of the joint holder whose name stands first in the Register on the Record Date in respect of the joint holding.

Listing and dealings

Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Bonus Shares. No part of the share capital of the Company is listed on or dealt in on any other stock exchange and no such listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought.

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Bonus Shares on the Stock Exchange as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of HKSCC, the Bonus Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the expected commencement of dealings in the Bonus Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as may be determined by HKSCC. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.

— 6 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

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.

Shareholders should seek advice from their stockbroker or other professional adviser for details of those settlement arrangements and how such arrangements will affect their rights and interests.

Dealings in the Bonus Shares on the Stock Exchange are expected to commence on Thursday, 29 June 2006 and will be subject to the payment of Hong Kong stamp duty.

Taxation

Shareholders are recommended to consult their professional adviser if they are in any doubt as to the taxation implications of any purchase, holding or disposal of or dealing in the Bonus Shares. It is emphasised that none of the Company, the Directors or any other parties involved in the Bonus Issue accepts responsibility for any tax effects or liabilities of the Shareholders resulting from the purchase, holding or disposal of or dealings in the Bonus Shares.

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

The Board proposes a change in the English name of the Company from “Asia Alliance Holdings Limited” to “Easyknit Enterprises Holdings Limited”; and the adoption of the Chinese name “ ” in lieu of “ ” for identification only.

The Directors are of the view that the new company name aligns the identity of the Group with its controlling Shareholder, being Easyknit International Holdings Limited ( ). Easyknit International Holdings Limited (stock code: 1218), is an exempted company incorporated in Bermuda with limited liability whose shares are listed on the main board of the Stock Exchange and the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited. It currently holds approximately 35.93% of the Company’s issued share capital. There will be no change in the Group’s principal businesses where it will remain principally engaged in the businesses of garment bleaching, dyeing and knitting.

The Change of Company Name is subject to the following conditions:

  • (i) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Change of Company Name at the SGM; and

  • (ii) the due registration of the new name with the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda being completed.

The Change of Company Name will take effect from the date on which the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda enters the new English name on the register in place of the existing name. Thereafter, the Company will comply with the necessary filing procedures in Hong Kong.

— 7 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Change of Company Name will not affect any rights of the Shareholders. The existing share certificates of the Company under the name of “Asia Alliance Holdings Limited” will, after the date when the Change of Company Name becomes effective, continue to be valid legal evidence of title in respect of the same number of Shares in the new name of the Company. Shareholders may exchange certificates bearing the new name of the Company free of charge within one month from the effective date of the Change of Company Name by submitting their existing share certificates to the Branch Share Registrar.

It was previously stated in the Announcement under the section headed “Expected Timetable”, that there would be a period from Thursday, 29 June 2006 to Wednesday, 2 August 2006 for free exchange of existing share certificates for new share certificates. As the effective date of the Change of Company Name remains uncertain as at the Latest Practicable Date, the exact date for the commencement of free exchange of existing share certificates cannot be ascertained currently. Further announcement will be made by the Company in relation to the: (i) effective date of the Change of Company Name, (ii) trading arrangements and the period for the free exchange of existing share certificates after the Change of Company Name becomes effective; and (iii) the change of stock short name of the Company.

CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

Based on the closing price quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date of HK$4.30 per Share, the theoretical ex-entitlement price per Share upon the Bonus Issue becoming effective will be approximately HK$0.43 per Share. Currently, the Shares are traded in board lots of 4,000 Shares and on this basis, the value of each board lot of Shares upon the Bonus Issue becoming effective would be approximately HK$1,720.00.

The Company intends that upon the Bonus Issue becoming effective, the board lot size of Shares be changed to 5,000 Shares per board lot, with value of approximately HK$2,150.00 per board lot based on the theoretical ex-entitlement price of approximately HK$0.43 per Share.

The change in board lot size of Shares will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders. The Directors are of the opinion that the change in board lot size is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders. The effective date of the change in board lot size is expected to be on Thursday, 29 June 2006.

Odd lots matching services

In order to alleviate Shareholders’ difficulty in dealing in odd lots that might arise from the change in board lot size, the Company has appointed Get Nice Investment Limited to seek to match the purchase and sale of odd lots of the Shares arising from the change in board lot size during the period from 29 June 2006 to 28 July 2006 (both dates inclusive). Holders of odd lots of the Shares who wish to take advantage of this facility either to dispose of their odd lots of the Shares or top up to a full board lot may, directly or through their brokers, contact Mr. Cheng Wai Ho (Tel: 2537 8287 and Fax: 2869 7140) of Get Nice Investment Limited during this period. Holders of odd lots of the Shares should note that successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Shares is not guaranteed. Any Shareholder, who is in any doubt about the odd lot facility, is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional advisers.
