Financial Adviser

CIMB Securities (HK) Limited

Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 11 February 2010 and 4 March 2010 in respect of the possible acquisition of the Target.

The Board wishes to announce that, on 14 June 2010 (after trading hours), the Purchaser, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Vendor entered into the Agreement, pursuant to which the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to purchase and the Vendor has conditionally agreed to sell the Sale Share and the Sale Debt for an aggregate consideration of HK$180 million.

The Sale Share represents the entire issued share capital of the Target. As at the date of this announcement, the principal assets of the Target are the InsureLink System and its indirect holding of approximately 24.99% equity interest in Dongda Agency, a company established in the PRC, which provides property and life insurance agency services. Pursuant to the Agreement, if the consolidated audited net profit after tax of Fullmark SH (under the PRC GAAP) for the year ending 31 December 2010 is less than RMB16.5 million, the Vendor will pay the Purchaser the Compensation under the Consideration Adjustment.

The Consideration for the Acquisition of HK$180 million shall be satisfied as to HK$70 million in cash and as to the balance of HK$110 million by the allotment and issue, credited as fully paid, of the Consideration Shares. The Consideration Shares represent approximately 27.8% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement and approximately 21.8% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the Consideration Shares. The Company will seek the Specific Mandate from the Shareholders for the issue of the Consideration Shares.

InsureLink System is a system developed and owned by Fullmark SH that links an insurance broker or agent’s front office seamlessly to its back office and then to the insurance providers. The licence of the InsureLink System sold and distributed directly to brokers and insurance agents in the PRC by Dongda Brokerage.

Customers will pay an initial license fee and then pay an annual maintenance fee to Dongda Brokerage. It is the intention of the Target to provide a one stop solution to the insurance agency and brokerage sector.

Dongda Agency is a company established in the PRC and provides property and life insurance professional insurance agency services (such as engineering insurance, cargo transportation insurance liability insurance and group life insurance) and reinsurance agency service. On 31 March, 2010, Fullmark SH, an indirect whollyowned subsidiary of the Target, entered into the Cooperation Agreement with Dongda Brokerage pursuant to which (i) Fullmark SH and Dongda Brokerage have agreed to jointly develop, based on the intellectual property rights of the InsureLink System owned by Fullmark SH, the Chinese version of the InsureLink System; (ii) Fullmark SH shall licence the InsureLink System and provide related technical support services to Dongda Brokerage and the end-users of the InsureLink System; and (iii) Fullmark SH and Dongda Brokerage shall jointly promote the licensing of the InsureLink System to other insurance companies in the PRC. Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, which is valid for a period of 10 years, Fullmark SH shall be entitled to receive 75% of the revenue from such licensing business. The revenue sharing ratio from the licensing business was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the parties after taking into consideration the fact that the intellectual property rights of the InsureLink System are owned by Fullmark SH, which will licence the InsureLink System for such licensing business and will also provide related technical support services to Dongda Brokerage and the end-users of the InsureLink System. Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, Dongda Brokerage guaranteed that the revenue received by Fullmark SH under the Cooperation Agreement shall be not less than RMB20,000,000 per annum.

REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION

The principal activities of the Group are the provision of systems development and integration services, the sales of software and hardware products and provision of professional services.

As at the date of this announcement, the principal assets of the Target are the InsureLink System and its indirect equity interest in Dongda Agency of approximately 24.99%. Dongda Agency is principally engaged in the provision of property and life insurance professional insurance agency services (such as engineering insurance, cargo transportation insurance liability insurance and group life insurance) and reinsurance agency service. On 31 March, 2010, Fullmark SH, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Target, entered into the Cooperation Agreement with Dongda Brokerage.

It has been the Company’s long term goal to maximize Shareholder’s value. In view of the intense market competition for the Group’s existing business particularly for the security and surveillance division, the Company has been exploring business opportunities to expand the Group’s operations and enhance its earnings. In this regard, the Company considers that there are good business prospects for the system provision, integration and software development market within the insurance and insurance brokering business sectors in the PRC as a result of the increased demand for update and efficient back and front office support systems and software to cater for the expansion in insurance products and services. Accordingly, the Directors consider that the Acquisition will not only provide an opportunity for the Group to expand its scope of IT consultancy services by participating in the insurance market in the PRC, which is expected to have a rising demand, through the Target’s interest in Dongda Agency, but also enable the Group to leverage on its existing expertise and experience in the IT consultancy sector, coupled with the intellectual property rights in respect of the InsureLink System owned by Fullmark SH, by cooperating with Dongda Brokerage pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement.

– 9 –

It is the intention of the Company to continue the Group’s existing business in the security and surveillance system and, leverage on its existing expertise and experience in the IT consultancy sector, expand its existing business into the insurance market in the PRC through the Target’s interest in Dongda Agency and cooperation with Dongda Brokerage pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement. The Company has confirmed with the Vendor that it has no present intention to nominate any person to become members of the Board upon Completion.

Upon Completion, each of the Target, Fullmark HK and Fullmark SH will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and with its accounts to be consolidated with that of the Group. Dongda Agency will be accounted for as an associated company of the Company and the accounts of Dongda Agency will not be consolidated with that of the Group.

The Directors consider that the terms of the Acquisition are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

IMPLICATION OF THE LISTING RULES

As the applicable percentage ratios as set out in Rule 19.07 of the GEM Listing Rules are more than 25% but less than 100%, the Acquisition contemplated under the Agreement constitutes a major transaction under the GEM Listing Rules and is subject to approval by the Shareholders at the EGM.

The Company will seek the Specific Mandate from the Shareholders for the issue of the Consideration Shares. A circular containing, among others, details of the Agreement and a notice of the EGM is expected to be despatched to the Shareholders by or around 10 August 2010, taking into account the time expected to be required for the preparation of the accountants’ report on the Target Group for inclusion in the circular.
