Following the Disposal, the Company’s equity interest in Chinasoft is reduced to 130,129,822 Chinasoft Shares, representing approximately 17.15% of the issued share capital of Chinasoft.

CONSIDERATION

The consideration for the Sale Shares was determined on an arm’s length basis with reference to the recent market price of the Chinasoft Shares.

The unaudited consolidated net asset value of Chinasoft as at 30 June 2006 attributable to the Sale Shares was approximately HK$12,166,000. The consideration per Sale Share represents a premium of approximately 190.16% over the unaudited consolidated net assets value per Chinasoft Share of approximately HK$0.61 as at 30 June 2006.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The audited net profit before/after taxation and net assets value of Chinasoft for the two years ended 31 December 2004 and 2005 respectively were as follows:

Year ended Year ended
31 December 2005 31 December 2004
RMB ’million RMB ’million
Net profit before taxation 48.71 39.05
Net profit after taxation 43.00 35.21
Net assets value 309.04 199.40

REASONS AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The Company acquired the Sale Shares in 2003. The Disposal is expected to generate a gain of approximately HK$33.56 million in the Group’s profit and loss account. Such expected gain arises out of the difference between the consideration for the Sale Shares over the carrying value of the Sale Shares as recorded in the books of the Company. Save for the gain mentioned above, the Disposal is not expected to have other material effect on the earnings of the Group. Upon the completion of the Disposal, the Group’s assets are expected to increase by the aforementioned gain and the Disposal is not expected to have any material effect on the Group’s liabilities. The Directors consider that it is in the best interest of the Group to take this opportunity to realize its investment in Chinasoft through the Disposal.

The net proceeds from the Disposal of approximately HK$34.2 million will be used as general working capital of the Group.

The Directors consider that the terms of the Disposal are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

GENERAL

On 20 November 2006, the Company announced that it had disposed 20,000,000 Chinasoft Shares to two separate parties under the 2006 Disposal. As the type of asset disposed under the 2006 Disposal is the same as that disposed under the Disposal, the 2006 Disposal and the Disposal are aggregated under Rule 14.22 of the Listing Rules for the purpose of determining the percentage ratios. As the applicable “Consideration test” and “Revenue test” percentage ratios as defined in the Listing Rules exceed 25% but all percentage ratios are less than 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

No Shareholders are required to abstain from voting at the general meeting in respect of the resolution to approve the Disposal and the Company has obtained from Mr. Deacon Ten Ken Chiu, Mr. Duncan Chiu, Mr. Dennis Chiu, Mr. Daniel Tat Jung Chiu and Tan Sri Dato’, David Chiu who in aggregate beneficially hold 60,797,561 Shares, representing approximately 55.55% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, a written approval for the Agreement, the Disposal and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

5

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules, the Disposal which constitutes a major transaction for the Company has been approved by way of written Shareholders’ approval in lieu of holding a general meeting of the Company seeking approval from the Shareholders.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Your attention is drawn to the additional information set out in the Appendix I – Financial Information on the Group and Appendix II – General Information to this circular.

Yours faithfully, By order of the Board Duncan Chiu

Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer
