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 KGI CAPITAL

References are made to the announcements of the Company dated 23 February 2010, 26 February 2010 and 4 March 2010 in relation to the First Top-up Placing and the First Top-up Subscription. The completion of the First Top-up Placing took place on 1 March 2010 and 7,000,000 and 7,380,000 placing shares beneficially owned by Wide Source were placed to Galaxy Fund I and Galaxy Fund II at a price of HK$1.01 per share respectively. The Independent Shareholders are advised that subsequent to the aforesaid placing, the Company has proceeded an 1 to 10 share subdivision which took effect on 16 April 2010.

As at the date of the Subscription Agreements, Galaxy Fund I and Galaxy Fund II (which are managed by the same fund manager, Galaxy Asset Management (H.K.) Ltd.), in aggregate, hold 144,800,000 Shares, representing approximately 11.09% of the then issued share capital of the Company. Therefore, each of Galaxy Fund I and Galaxy Fund II is a connected person of the Company. As such, the issue of the Subscription Shares to the Subscribers constitute connected transactions for the Company and are subject to, among other requirements, the Independent Shareholders’ approval requirement under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM KGI CAPITAL

In formulating our opinion, we have obtained and reviewed relevant information and documents provided by the Company, the Directors and management of the Company in connection with the Subscriptions and discussed with the management of the Company so as to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Subscription Agreements and the Subscriptions. Relevant information and documents included, among other things, the third quarterly report of the Company for the nine months ended 31 December 2009, the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2009 (the “2009 Interim Report”), the annual report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 March 2009 (the “2009 Annual Report”), the Subscription Agreements, the GM Placing Agreement and the supplemental agreement dated 5 May 2010 entered into between the Company and the Placing Agent to vary and supplement certain terms of the GM Placing Agreement. We believe that we have reviewed sufficient information to enable us to reach an informed view, to justify our reliance on the accuracy of the information contained in the Circular and to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion regarding the terms of the Subscription Agreements and the Subscriptions. We have not, however, carried out any independent verification of the information and representations provided to us by the management of the Company and the Directors nor have we conducted any form of independent investigation into the businesses and affairs, financial position or the future prospects of the Company, Fullmark Management Limited, Shanghai Dongda Insurance Agency Co., Ltd, Galaxy Fund I, Galaxy Fund II, Galaxy Asset Management (H.K.) Ltd., or their respective subsidiaries or associated companies. We have not studied, investigated nor verified the validity of all the legal aspects of, and procedural aspects for, the Subscriptions.

Our opinion is necessarily based upon the financial, economic, market, regulatory and other conditions as they existed on, and the facts, information, representations and opinions made available to us as of, the Latest Practicable Date. Our opinion does not in any manner address the Company’s own decision to proceed with the entering into of the Subscription Agreements. We disclaim any undertaking or obligation to advise any person of any change in any fact or matter affecting the opinion expressed herein, which may come or be brought to our attention after the Latest Practicable Date. Except for its inclusion in the Circular, this letter is not to be quoted or referred to, in whole or in part, nor shall this letter be used for any other purpose, without our prior written consent.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion and recommendation to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the terms of the Subscription Agreements and the Subscriptions, we have taken the following principal factors and reasons into consideration:

Background of the Subscriptions

As announced in the GM Placing Announcement, on 28 April 2010 (before trading hours), the Company and the Placing Agent have entered into the GM Placing Agreement pursuant to which the Placing Agent has agreed to procure placees, on a best effort basis, for the subscription of up to 130,000,000 new Shares at the placing price of HK$0.265 per Share. As the potential placees procured by the Placing Agent for the GM Placing included the Subscribers who are connected persons of the Company under the GEM Listing Rules, the Company is required to seek specific mandate to allot and issue new Shares to the Subscribers. Accordingly, the Company and the Placing Agent have agreed to reduce the size of the GM Placing.

– 17 –

LETTER FROM KGI CAPITAL

On 5 May 2010, the Company and the Placing Agent entered into the Supplemental Agreement pursuant to which the Company and the Placing Agent have agreed to reduce the maximum number of new Shares to be placed pursuant to the GM Placing Agreement from 130,000,000 new Shares to 30,000,000 new Shares.

On 5 May 2010, (i) the Company, Galaxy Fund I and the Placing Agent entered into the Subscription Agreement I in relation to the issue of 40,000,000 Subscription Shares to Galaxy Fund I at the Subscription Price of HK$0.265 per Subscription Share; and (ii) the Company, Galaxy Fund II and the Placing Agent entered into the Subscription Agreement II in relation to the issue of 60,000,000 Subscription Shares to Galaxy Fund II at the Subscription Price of HK$0.265 per Subscription Share.

Information on the Group

The Group is principally engaged in the provision of systems development, maintenance and installation as well as consulting service, provision of information technology engineering and technical support services. As stated in the Letter, the Directors confirm that it is the current intention of the Company to continue its existing businesses.

Set out below is a summary of the audited consolidated financial information of the Group for the two financial years ended 31 March 2009 as extracted from the 2009 Annual Report and the unaudited consolidated financial information of the Group for the six months ended 30 September 2008 and six months ended 30 September 2009 as extracted from the 2009 Interim Report:

LETTER FROM KGI CAPITAL

As shown in the table above, the Group recorded revenue of approximately HK$108.0 million for the financial year ended 31 March 2009, representing an increase of approximately 105% as compared with that of the previous financial year. According to the 2009 Annual Report, such increase was principally due to the revenue contributed by Acon Enterprises Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and its subsidiaries in security and surveillance software and design business. Profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company amounted to approximately HK$11.4 million for the financial year ended 31 March 2009, as compared to a loss of approximately HK$19.9 million for the financial year ended 31 March 2008.

The Group recorded revenue of approximately HK$16.3 million for the six months ended 30 September 2009, representing a decrease of approximately 19% as compared to the same period in the previous year. According to the Directors, such decrease was mainly due to adverse market conditions during such period. Loss attributable to the equity holders of the Company amounted to approximately HK$3.6 million for the six months ended 30 September 2009, as compared to a loss of approximately HK$1.8 million for the six months ended 30 September 2008.

As shown in the above table, the unaudited bank and cash balances of the Group as at 30 September 2009 were approximately HK$8.5 million. Total shareholders’ funds of the Group as at 30 September 2009 amounted to approximately HK$24.4 million, as compared to approximately HK$28.0 million as at 31 March 2009. The gearing ratio (defined as bank borrowings divided by total shareholders’ funds) was approximately 46.9% as at 30 September 2009, as compared to approximately 40.0% as at 31 March 2009.

Reasons for the Subscriptions

The net proceeds from the Subscriptions, after deduction of relevant expenses, are estimated to be approximately HK$26.0 million. As stated in the Letter, the Directors consider various ways of raising funds and consider that the Subscriptions represent an opportunity to enlarge the equity base of the Company. The Directors intend to utilise the net proceeds from the Subscriptions to finance future investments and/or for future business development. As confirmed by the Directors, the Company and Expertone Holdings Limited entered into a memorandum of understanding on 11 February 2010 and an addendum to the said memorandum of understanding on 4 March 2010 in relation to the proposed acquisition of the entire issued share capital in Fullmark Management Limited, which is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and its principal asset is 24.99% equity interest in Shanghai Dongda Insurance Agency Co., Ltd, a company established in the PRC and providing property and life insurance agency services. As stated in the Letter, save as disclosed above, the Company does not have any specific plans of investments or business development as at the Latest Practicable Date. As confirmed by the Directors, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Proposed Acquisition was at the final stage of negotiation between the Group and the vendor. In the event that the Proposed Acquisition is not proceeded, the Board will consider and identify other investments and business development opportunities for the Group so as to maximize the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

– 19 –

LETTER FROM KGI CAPITAL

As stated in the announcement of the Company dated 11 February 2010, the consideration for the Proposed Acquisition has not yet been determined and may be satisfied by the Company in cash and/ or by issuing of new Shares, convertible notes, or a combination of any of the above, or any other forms as the Company and the prospective seller may agree. As mentioned above, the unaudited bank and cash balances of the Group as at 30 September 2009 were approximately HK$8.5 million. We further noted from the Directors that as at the Latest Practicable Date, the net proceeds raised in the First Top-up Subscription of approximately HK$16.15 million and the net proceeds raised in the Second Top-up Subscription of approximately HK$7.75 million have already been utilised for the payment of the deposit pursuant to the Addendum (as defined in the Company’s announcement dated 4 March 2010). According to the announcement of the Company dated 23 April 2010, the estimated net proceeds raised in the Third Top-up Subscription of approximately HK$33.27 million is intended to be used to finance future investments and/or for future business developments. As stated in the Letter, the net proceeds from the Third Top-up Subscription has not been utilised as at the Latest Practicable Date. As stated in the Letter, the net proceeds from the GM Placing are approximately HK$7.6 million which are intended to be used as the Group’s general working capital. As at the Latest Practicable Date, such net proceeds have not been utilised. The Directors further confirmed that the latest bank and cash balances of the Group were not sufficient to finance the payment of the expected consideration for the Proposed Acquisition.

Having considered the possible funding requirements to finance the Proposed Acquisition and the financial position of the Group, we are of the opinion that the Subscriptions could enhance the cash position of the Group and provide a source of funding for the settlement of the consideration of the Proposed Acquisition which would not incur additional interest expenses to the Group as compared to debt financing.

In view of the above, we concur with the Directors’ view that the entering into of the Subscription Agreements are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

We have reviewed the major terms of the Subscription Agreements and no abnormal or unusual clause is noted. As such, we concur with the Directors’ view that the terms of the Subscription Agreements are on normal commercial terms.

The Subscription Price

As stated in the Letter, the Subscription Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and the Subscribers with reference to the recent trading prices of the Shares. The Directors consider that the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, we have identified share placing/subscription exercises during ten calendar days’ period immediately before the Last Trading Date (from 25 April 2010 to 4 May 2010, both dates inclusive) as announced by the main board and GEM listed companies on the Stock Exchange (the “ Comparable Transactions ”). To the best of our knowledge and as far as we are aware of, based on the information from the website of the Stock Exchange, we have identified 15 Comparable Transactions for our comparison purpose. The Independent Shareholders should note that the businesses, operations and prospects of the Company are not the same as those of the companies we have identified and thus these companies are only used to provide a general reference for the recent common market practice of Hong Kong listed companies in share placing/subscription exercises. Our findings are summarised as below:

Note: We noted that EPRO Limited (“EPRO”) (Stock code: 8086) announced a share subscription exercise on 30 April 2010. According to the announcement of EPRO in relation to such share subscription exercise dated 30 April 2010, the subscription price of HK$0.05 per share represented respective discount of approximately 89.7% and approximately 89.2% to (i) the closing price of the shares of EPRO immediately before the release of the announcement in relation to such share subscription exercise; and (ii) the average closing price of the shares of EPRO for the last 5 trading days immediately before the release of the announcement in relation to such share subscription exercise. We consider that such significant discounts may distort our analysis thus have excluded the share subscription exercise of EPRO in our comparison.

– 24 –

LETTER FROM KGI CAPITAL

As shown in the table above, the Subscription Price represented a discount of approximately 8.6% to the closing price per Share on the Last Trading Date, which is lower than the average discount of approximately 10.7% of the relevant placing/subscription price of the Comparable Transactions to their respective closing price per share immediately before the release of the relevant announcements. In addition, the Subscription Price also represented a discount of approximately 11.4% to the average closing price per Share for the last 5 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date, which is slightly higher than the average discount of approximately 10.5% of the relevant placing/subscription price of the Comparable Transactions to their respective average closing price per share for the last 5 trading days immediately before the release of the relevant announcements but nevertheless within the range of such discounts from approximately 1.7% to approximately 16.3%.

In addition to the above comparison, we also noted that the Subscription Price of HK$0.265 per Share is equal to (i) the placing price of HK$0.265 per Share under the GM Placing; and (ii) the subscription price of HK$0.265 per Share under the Third Top-up Subscription.

In view of the above, we are of the opinion that the determination of the Subscription Price with reference to the recent trading prices of the Shares is in line with normal market practice and we concur with the Directors’ view that the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

Dilution effect on the shareholding interests of the Independent Shareholders

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of issued shares of the Company was 1,465,700,000 Shares. Upon completion of the Subscriptions, 100,000,000 Subscription Shares will be issued to the Subscribers. As shown in the shareholding table in the section headed “Shareholding Structures” in the Letter, the aggregate shareholding interests of the public Shareholders will decrease from approximately 64.58% to approximately 60.46% upon completion of the Subscriptions.

Although the shareholding interests of the Independent Shareholders are subject to certain dilution effect as a result of the completion of the Subscriptions, having taken into account that (i) the Subscriptions will enlarge the equity base of the Company; (ii) the Subscriptions will enhance the cash position of the Group; and (iii) the shareholdings of all existing Shareholders (except the Subscribers) will be diluted to the same extent upon completion of the Subscriptions, we are of the view that such dilution to the shareholdings of the Independent Shareholders is acceptable.

Possible financial effects of the Subscriptions

The Independent Shareholders are advised that the figures and possible financial impacts shown in this section below are for illustrative and reference purposes only.

LETTER FROM KGI CAPITAL

Effects on net asset value

According to the 2009 Interim Report, the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Group as at 30 September 2009 was approximately HK$24.4 million. As confirmed by the Directors, the Subscriptions would increase the consolidated net asset value of the Group.

Effects on working capital and cash position

As stated in the Letter, the net proceeds from the Subscriptions are estimated to be approximately HK$26.0 million. The Directors confirmed that the working capital and cash position of the Group will be enhanced upon completion of the Subscriptions.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the above principal factors and reasons, we, on an overall basis, consider that the terms of the Subscription Agreements and the Subscriptions are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned, and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders and recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolutions to approve the Subscription Agreements, which will be proposed at the EGM.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of KGI Capital Asia Limited
