CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. 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 be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL MANDATES

On 28 July 2008, general mandates were given to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to issue new Shares and to repurchase Shares respectively. Such mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. At the Annual General Meeting, separate ordinary resolutions will be proposed to the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to grant to the Directors (i) the Issue Mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of the passing of such resolution; (ii) the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares not exceeding 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of the passing of such resolution; and (iii) the Extension Mandate to extend the general mandate as set out in (i) above by the amount representing the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company repurchased by the Company pursuant to the general mandate as mentioned in (ii) above.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 109,190,000 Shares in issue. Assuming no further Shares will be issued or repurchased before the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Directors would be authorised to issue up to 21,838,000 new Shares and repurchase 10,919,000 Shares under the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate respectively. Subject to the Rights Issue becoming unconditional and not being terminated, it is expected that 218,380,000 Rights Shares will be allotted and issued upon completion of the Rights Issue. The issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Rights Shares will become 327,570,000 Shares. On the basis that 218,380,000 Rights Shares have been issued prior to the Annual General Meeting and no further Shares will be issued or repurchased before the date of the Annual General Meeting, exercise in full of the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate could result in up to 65,514,000 new Shares and 32,757,000 Shares being issued and repurchased respectively by the Company during the period in which the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate remain in force.

The relevant resolutions are set out as resolutions numbered 7 to 9 in the notice of Annual General Meeting. The Issue Mandate, Repurchase Mandate and Extension Mandate, if renewed at the Annual General Meeting, will be valid up to (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the memorandum and articles of association of the Company or the laws of the Cayman Islands or any other applicable laws to be held; or (iii) the revocation, variation or renewal of these resolutions by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The explanatory statement, required by the GEM Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders in connection with the Repurchase Mandate, is set out in Appendix I to this circular. The explanatory statement contains the information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the relevant resolutions relating to the proposed Repurchase Mandate at the Annual General Meeting.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This explanatory statement contains the information required pursuant to Rule 13.08 of the GEM Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution relating to the Repurchase Mandate.

1. REGULATIONS OF THE GEM LISTING RULES

(a) Shareholders’ approval

All repurchase of securities on GEM by a company with its primary listing on GEM must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of general mandate or by specific approval in relation to specific transaction.

(b) Source of funds

Repurchase must be financed out of funds which are legally available for such purpose and in accordance with the memorandum and articles of association of the listed company and the applicable laws to be held. A listed company may not repurchase its own securities on GEM for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

(c) Suspension of repurchase

A company shall not purchase its own shares after a price-sensitive development has occurred or has been the subject of a decision until the price-sensitive information is made publicly available. In particular, during the period of one month immediately preceding either the preliminary announcement of a company’s annual results or the publication of the company’s half-yearly report or quarterly report, the company may not purchase its securities on GEM unless the circumstances are exceptional. In addition, the Stock Exchange may prohibit repurchases of securities on GEM if a company has breached the GEM Listing Rules.

(d) Connected persons

Under the GEM Listing Rules, a company shall not knowingly repurchase shares from a connected person (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules) and a connected person shall not knowingly sell his shares to the company.

2. EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 109,190,000 Shares in issued. Assuring no further Share are issued or repurchased prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Directors would be authorised to repurchase up to 10,919,000 Shares.

– 7 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

Subject to the Rights Issue becoming unconditional and not being terminated, it is expected that 218,380,000 Rights Shares will be allotted and issued upon completion of the Rights Issue. The issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Rights Shares will become 327,570,000 Shares. On the basis that 213,380,000 Rights Shares have been issued prior to the Annual General Meeting and no further Shares will be issued or repurchased before the date of the Annual General Meeting, exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate could result in up to 32,757,000 Shares being repurchased by the Company during the period in which the Repurchase Mandate remains in force.

The Repurchase Mandate, if renewed at the Annual General Meeting, will be valid up to (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws to be held; or (iii) the revocation, variation or renewal of the Repurchase Mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

Repurchases of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share.

4. GENERAL

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2009 contained in 2009 Annual Report) in the event that the proposed repurchases in the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed purchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Group or on its gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Group.

5. UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

As at the Latest Practicable Date and to the best of the knowledge of the Directors who have made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor their respective associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) has any present intention, in the event that the resolution relating to the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company or has undertaken not to do so.

– 8 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

6. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE

If, as a result of a repurchase of Shares, a shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights in the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a shareholder, or a group of shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the shareholder’s interests, 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, so far as the Directors are aware, the following Shareholders had voting rights representing 5% or more of the issued share capital of the Company:

Approximate
Percentage of
Existing Shareholding if
Approximate Repurchase
Number of Percentage of Mandate is
Name of Shareholders Note Shares held Shareholding exercised in full
Wide Source Group Ltd. 1 21,542,476 19.73% 21.92%
(“WS”)
Resuccess Investments 2 15,890,000 14.55% 16.17%
Limited
Best Jade Limited 3 7,190,000 6.58% 7.32%

Notes:

  1. WS is wholly-owned by Mr. Luk Yat Hung, an executive Director and Chairman of the Company.

  2. Resuccess Investments Limited is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability and is wholly owned by Tongfang Co. Limited.

  3. Best Jade Limited is a company in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability and is ultimately and beneficially owned by Ms. Li Luyuan.

In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares in accordance with the Repurchase Mandate based on the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, the total interests of the above substantial Shareholders in the Shares would be increased to approximately the respective percentages shown in the last column above and the Directors believe that such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

– 9 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent that may give rise to the making of a general offer under the Takeovers Code or that may result in a public shareholding of less than 25 per cent., the prescribed minimum percentage of the Shares in issue required by the Stock Exchange to be held by the public. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences as a result of full exercise of the Repurchase Mandate that would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code.

7. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on GEM during each of the previous twelve months preceding the Latest Practicable Date are as follows:
