Tai Shing International (Holdings) Limited ������������[*]

(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability) (Stock Code: 8103)

INTERIM REPORT 2008

  • For identification purpose only

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”)

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 in order to obtain up-to-date information on GEM-listed issuers.

The Stock Exchange takes no responsibility for the contents of this report, makes no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this report.

This report, for which the directors of Tai Shing International (Holdings) Limited collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the GEM of the Stock Exchange for the purpose of given information with regard to Tai Shing International (Holdings) Limited. The directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that, to the best of their knowledge and belief:— (1) the information contained in this report is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading; (2) there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement in this report misleading; and (3) all opinions expressed in this report have been arrived at after due and careful consideration and are founded on bases and assumptions that are fair and reasonable.

On 19 April 2006, a High Court Action No.858 of 2006 was commenced by Chan Kar Kui, Wong Calvin Ting Chi, Chan Wai Phan, Chan Man Wan and Kwok King Chuen (the “Plaintiffs”) against the Company for specific performance of the agreement entered between the Plaintiffs and the Company’s former director, To Cho Kei, on behalf of the Company, in around May/June 2000 to purchase from the Plaintiffs all their shareholdings in Epplication.Net Limited (“Epplication.Net”) at a consideration of HK$6,800,000 being twice of the actual amount that the Plaintiffs expended on Epplication.Net by way of transfer or allotment of the shares of the Company of the equivalent value, or alternatively, damages with interests and costs. The Company has filed a defence denying the allegation as the Company has no record of any agreement for the purchase of the Plaintiffs’ shareholdings in Epplication.Net and the Plaintiffs have not produced any documentary evidence to support their claim. The directors believe that the Company has strong defence in this action and therefore, no provision for liabilities was made.
