(I) PROPOSED RIGHTS ISSUE ON THE BASIS OF THREE (3) RIGHTS SHARES FOR EVERY ONE (1) SHARE HELD ON THE RECORD DATE ON A NON-UNDERWRITTEN BASIS; AND

{10}------------------------------------------------

- : (i) 479,762,136 (assuming full subscription under the Rights Issue, no change in the number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date and that no new Shares (other than the Rights Shares) will be allotted and issued on or before completion of the Rights Issue); or
- (ii) 510,882,136 (assuming full subscription under the Rights Issue, no change in the number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date other than the full conversion of the Convertible Notes and that no new Shares (other than the Rights Shares) will be allotted and issued on or before completion of the Rights Issue
{11}------------------------------------------------
Gross proceeds from the Rights Issue
- : (i) approximately HK\$163.72 million before expenses (assuming full subscription under the Rights Issue and no change in the number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date); or
-

-
Net proceeds from the Rights Issue : (i) approximately HK\$162.00 million after expenses (assuming full subscription under the Rights Issue and no change in the number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date); or
- (ii) approximately HK\$172.62 million before expenses (assuming full subscription under the Rights Issue and no change in the number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date other than the full conversion of the Convertible Notes)
Net price (i.e. Subscription Price less cost and expenses incurred in the Rights Issue)

- (ii) approximately HK\$0.451 (assuming full subscription under the Rights Issue and no change in the number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date other than the full conversion of the Convertible Notes)
Rights of excess application : Qualifying Shareholders may apply for Rights Shares in excess of their provisional allotments.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are outstanding Convertible Notes which are convertible into 7,780,000 new Shares prior to the Record Date. (For the Convertible Notes which will not be converted on or before the Record Date, please refer to the section headed "POSSIBLE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CONVERTIBLE NOTES" in this circular.) Save for the aforesaid, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has no other outstanding derivatives, options, warrants, conversion rights or other similar rights which are convertible into or giving rights to subscribe for, convert or exchange into any Shares prior to the Record Date.
{12}------------------------------------------------
Assuming no change in the number of issued Shares on or before the Record Date and that no new Shares (other than the Rights Shares) will be allotted and issued on or before completion of the Rights Issue, the 359,821,602 Rights Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms of the proposed Rights Issue represents (i) 300% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (ii) 75% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Rights Shares.
Assuming no change in the number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date other than the full conversion of the Convertible Notes and that no new Shares (other than the Rights Shares) will be allotted and issued on or before completion of the Rights Issue, the 383,161,602 Rights Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms of the proposed Rights Issue represents (i) approximately 319.46% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date; (ii) 300% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of Shares upon full exercise of the Convertible Notes; and (iii) 75% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of Shares upon full exercise of the Convertible Notes and the allotment and issue of the Rights Shares.
Non-underwritten basis
The Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis irrespective of the level of acceptance of provisionally allotted Rights Shares. In the event that the provisional allotments for the Rights Issue are not fully subscribed, any Rights Shares not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders together with the Rights Shares not provisionally allotted to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders and aggregated fractions of Rights Shares will be made available for excess application under the EAFs. There is no minimum subscription level or minimum amount to be raised under the Rights Issue.
As the Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis, the Shareholder who applies to take up all or part of his/her/its entitlement under the PAL(s) and EAF(s), or transferees of nil-paid Rights Shares (or either of them, whichever shall be appropriate), may unwittingly incur an obligation to make a general offer for the Shares under the Takeovers Code or cause the public float of the Company to decrease to below 25%. Accordingly, the Rights Issue will be made on terms that the Company will provide for the Shareholders to apply on the basis that if the Rights Shares are not fully taken up, the application of any Shareholder (except for HKSCC Nominees Limited) for his/her/its assured entitlement under the Rights Issue will be scaled down to a level which (a) does not trigger an obligation on part of the relevant Shareholder to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code in accordance with the note to Rule 7.19(5)(b) of the Listing Rules; and (b) does not cause the Company's public float to decrease to below 25%. Any subscription monies not being utilised due to the scaled-down application of entitled Rights Shares or Excess Rights Shares will be refunded to the affected applicants.
If the Rights Issue is undersubscribed, the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced. Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up their assured entitlements in full and Non-Qualifying Shareholders, if any, should note that their shareholdings in the Company may be diluted, the extent of which will depend in part on the size of the Rights Issue.
{13}------------------------------------------------
The Subscription Price
The Subscription Price is HK\$0.455 per Rights Share, payable in full upon acceptance of the relevant provisional allotment of Rights Shares under the Rights Issue or when a transferee of nil-paid Rights Shares applies for the Rights Shares or where applicable, upon an application of Excess Rights Shares.
The Subscription Price represents:
- (i) a discount of approximately 34.06% to the closing price of HK\$0.690 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date;
- (ii) a discount of approximately 31.06% to the closing price of HK\$0.660 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
- (iii) a discount of approximately 32.29% to the average of the closing prices of HK\$0.672 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five (5) consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
- (iv) a discount of approximately 31.58% to the average of the closing prices of approximately HK\$0.665 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the ten (10) consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
- (v) a discount of approximately 10.13% to the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK\$0.5063 per Share as adjusted for the effect of the Rights Issue, based on the closing price of HK\$0.660 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
- (vi) a theoretical dilution effect (as defined under Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules) of approximately 24.51% to the existing Shareholders if they elect not to participate in the Rights Issue, which is calculated based on the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK\$0.5103 per Share and the benchmarked price of approximately HK\$0.676 per Share (as defined under Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules, taking into account the higher of the closing price on the Last Trading Day of HK\$0.660 per Share and the average of the closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Last Trading Day of approximately HK\$0.676 per Share); and
- (vii) a discount of approximately 62.81% to the latest published unaudited consolidated net asset value per Share as at 30 June 2025 of approximately HK\$1.2236 (based on the net asset value attributable to the owners of the Company as at 30 June 2025 of approximately US\$18,863,000 (equivalent to approximately HK\$146,754,140 based on the exchange rate of US\$1 = HK\$7.78) as disclosed in the interim results announcement of the Company dated 29 August 2025 for the six months ended 30 June 2025 and 119,940,534 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date).
{14}------------------------------------------------
Determination of the Subscription Price
The Subscription Price was determined by the Company with reference to, among others, (i) the recent closing prices of the Shares; (ii) the low liquidity of the Shares; (iii) the financial conditions of the Company; (iv) the amount of funds the Company intends to raise under the Rights Issue; and (v) the reasons as discussed in the section headed "REASONS FOR THE RIGHTS ISSUE AND THE USE OF PROCEEDS" below in this circular.
For the six months preceding the Last Trading Day ("Half-Year Period"), the share price of the Company traded within a range of the lowest closing price of HK\$0.500 on 16 June 2025 to the highest closing price of HK\$1.480 on 13 October 2025 and 14 October 2025 respectively, with an average trading price of HK\$0.685. The average daily trading volume was approximately 832,011 Shares, representing approximately 0.69% of the total issued shares as at the Last Trading Day. During the Half-Year Period, the closing price of the Share remained stable between HK\$0.500 to HK\$0.720 from 19 May 2025 to 2 October 2025. The Board noticed that the closing price of the Share suddenly increased from HK\$0.720 on 2 October 2025 to HK\$1.350 on 6 October 2025, despite there was not any price-sensitive announcement was published by the Company during that period. Subsequently, the closing price of the Share decreased from HK\$1.480 on 14 October 2025 to HK\$0.700 on 16 October 2025 and continued trading steadily until the Last Trading Day. The Directors consider the price fluctuations observed in October 2025 to be anomalous.
Whilst the Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 62.81% to the latest published unaudited consolidated net asset value per Share as at 30 June 2025 of approximately HK\$1.2236 ("NAV per Share") as mentioned above, the Directors consider that the NAV per Share is not the sole determining factor for setting the Subscription Price. During the Half-Year Period, the Shares traded below NAV per Share on 122 out of 127 trading days, exceeding it on only 5 trading days. The average closing price of the Share during the Half-Year Period (i.e. HK\$0.685) represents a discount of approximately 44.02% to the NAV per Share (i.e. HK\$1.2236). Accordingly, setting the Subscription Price at or near the NAV per Share would imply a substantial premium to the prevailing market prices of the Shares, which would not be commercially viable and would likely discourage Shareholder participation in the Rights Issue, thereby undermining the fundraising objectives.
Having also considered (i) the funding needs of the Group as detailed in the section headed "REASONS FOR THE RIGHTS ISSUE AND THE USE OF PROCEEDS"; (ii) to enhance attractiveness to Qualifying Shareholders; (iii) the closing price performance of the Share during the Half-Year Period as stated above; and (iv) the market comparison of the Comparables (as defined below), the Directors are of the view that setting the Subscription Price at a discount, within the range and proximate to the average of the Comparables' LTD Discount, 5-Day Discount and 10-Day Discount (as defined below) is fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, as it is expected to encourage broader participation in the Rights Issue.
As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024 ("FY2024"), the Group recorded a decrease in revenue from approximately US\$7.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 to approximately US\$6.4 million for FY2024, which represents a decrease of approximately 12.33%, which was mainly due to weakened performance in the Group's trading business in Taiwan, which includes printed circuit board (PCB) operations and technology components for AI-related applications, amid challenging economic conditions.
{15}------------------------------------------------
The Company's 20% equity interest in Silkwave Holdings Limited ("Silkwave"), which is developing a satellite-connected multimedia service for vehicles in the PRC using its AsiaStar satellite assets (including frequency spectrum and orbital slot), reported a significantly reduced shared loss of US\$541,000 in FY2024, down from US\$49.6 million in FY2023. This improvement reflects a reassessment of Silkwave's commercial operations, prompted by ongoing delays in securing regulatory approvals and high-power satellite procurement, which impacted projected cash flows and led to a lower valuation of Silkwave's assets. Silkwave has completed its network infrastructure, technology, and ecosystem platform and has been conducting trial services across PRC. However, persistent regulatory delays from Chinese authorities continue to prevent the launch of commercial services, deferring revenue generation.
With growing market recognition of satellite services and applications, particularly following PRC's border reopening in early 2023 after three years of Covid-related restrictions, Silkwave is actively pursuing regulatory approvals and commercial service rollouts in the PRC while exploring opportunities in ASEAN markets to utilise its unutilised satellite capacity. The impairment loss on the Company's intangible assets also decreased significantly from US\$20.22 million in FY2023 to US\$4.82 million in FY2024, reflecting improved asset valuations. Consequently, the overall loss for the year decreased substantially from US\$74.97 million in FY2023 to US\$9.46 million in FY2024, signalling a positive shift in financial performance despite ongoing challenges and the Management is actively exploring strategies to turn around the Group's persistent net losses.
The Company aims to encourage greater Shareholders participation in the Rights Issue. Given the challenging financial performance, including the revenue decline, persistent net losses, and sustained low trading volume as outlined above, the Directors believe that offering an attractive discount on the subscription price is necessary to enhance the appeal of the Rights Issue and incentivise Shareholders' participation. This approach will enable shareholders to maintain their proportional shareholdings in the Company while contributing to the Group's future growth and development. Considering the reasons for the Rights Issue as detailed in the paragraph headed "REASONS FOR THE RIGHTS ISSUE AND THE USE OF PROCEEDS" below, the Directors believe that the terms of the Rights Issue, including the Subscription Price, are fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
The Board noted the relatively large discount of the Subscription Price as mentioned above.
To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, the Board searched for rights issue transactions announced by companies listed on the Stock Exchange (except those terminated or lapsed) from 1 July 2025 up to the Last Trading Day (the "Criteria"). The review period of approximately four months prior to and including the Last Trading Day was determined to illustrate recent practices in rights issue transactions conducted by Hong Kong listed companies during a period close to and including the Last Trading Day. Based on the search on the Stock Exchange's website, the Board identified 35 rights issue transactions (the "Comparables") which met the aforesaid Criteria and they are exhaustive. The Board considered that notwithstanding that the businesses, operations and prospects of the Company are not the same as the subject companies of the Comparables and without any independent verification with regard to the businesses and operations of such companies, the Comparables illustrate recent rights issue transactions conducted by Hong Kong listed companies during a period close to and including the Last Trading Day.

Note:
-
- The relevant Comparable has to set the subscription price at a premium to its recent trading price prior to the rights issue to avoid the subscription price being set below the par value; accordingly, such premium rates are considered as outliers and are therefore excluded from the calculation of the premium/discount rates of the subscription price of the Comparables relative to the trading prices.
-
- The premium rates of the subscription price over the net asset value per issued share of the relevant Comparables are exceptionally high and considered as outliers, and are therefore excluded from the calculation of the premium/discount rates of the subscription price relative to the net assets value per share of the Comparables.
-
- The relevant Comparable announced a previous rights issue on 10 July 2025, terminated it on 30 July 2025, and announced a revised rights issue on 30 July 2025.
{21}------------------------------------------------
It is observed that the premium/discount rates of the LTD Discount, the 5-Day Discount, the 10-Day Discount, the TERP Discount, the NAV Discount and the theoretical dilution effect of the Rights Issue of approximately 31.06%, 32.29%, 31.58%, 10.13%, 62.81% and 24.51%, respectively, are within the market range of the Comparables. Despite the theoretical dilution effect of approximately 24.51% is close to the maximum of the Comparables of approximately of 24.78%, having also considered:
- (i) the Independent Shareholders are given the opportunity to express their view on the terms of the Rights Issue through their votes at the EGM and the Company will engage the independent financial adviser to provide a letter of advice to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders regarding the terms of the Rights Issue;
- (ii) the Rights Issue provides the Qualifying Shareholders an opportunity to subscribe for their pro-rata Rights Shares for the purpose of maintaining their respective existing shareholding interests in the Company at a discount to the historical and prevailing market prices of the Shares;
- (iii) the Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up their entitlements in the Rights Issue are able to sell the nil-paid Rights Shares in the market, while the Qualifying Shareholders who wish to increase their shareholding interests in the Company through the Rights Issue are able to make excess applications for additional Rights Shares and/or acquire additional nil-paid Rights Shares in the market;
- (iv) it is reasonable to offer discount for the Subscription Price to promote its attractiveness given the generally thin average daily trading volume for the six months preceding the Last Trading Day as mentioned above; and
- (v) the proceeds from the Rights Issue can fulfil the funding needs of the Group.
The Board is of the view that the terms of the Rights Issue, including the Subscription Price, are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Basis of provisional allotment
The basis of provisional allotment of Rights Shares will be three (3) Rights Shares (in nil-paid form) for every one (1) Share held by the Qualifying Shareholders as at the close of business on the Record Date.
Application for all or any part of a Qualifying Shareholder's provisional allotments should be made by completing the PAL (in accordance with the instructions printed thereon) and lodging the same with a remittance for the Rights Shares being applied for with the Registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, on or before the Latest Time for Acceptance, which is expected to be 4:00 p.m. on Monday, 23 February 2026.
{22}------------------------------------------------
Qualifying Shareholders who take up their pro rata assured entitlement in full will not suffer any dilution to their interests in the Company apart from any nominal dilution resultant from the non-issuance of fractional Rights Shares.
Status of the Rights Shares
The Rights Shares (when allotted, issued and fully paid) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares then in issue. Holders of fully-paid Rights Shares will be entitled to receive all future dividends and distributions which may be declared, made or paid by the Company the record dates of which fall on or after the date of issue of the fully-paid Rights Shares.
The Qualifying Shareholders
The Company will make available the Prospectus Documents to the Qualifying Shareholders only. To qualify for the Rights Issue, a Shareholder must at the close of business on the Record Date: (i) be registered on the register of members of the Company; and (ii) not be a Non-Qualifying Shareholder.
In order to be registered as a member of the Company on the Record Date, a Shareholder must lodge the relevant transfer(s) of the Share(s) (with the relevant share certificates) for registration with the Registrar at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, by 4:30 p.m. on Monday, 26 January 2026 (i.e., the Last Day for Transfer).
Shareholders whose Shares are held by a nominee (or held through CCASS) should note that the Board will regard such nominee (including HKSCC Nominees Limited) as a single Shareholder according to the register of members of the Company. Shareholders with their Shares held by nominee(s) (or held through CCASS) are advised to consider whether they would like to arrange for the registration of the relevant Shares in their own names on or prior to the Last Day for Transfer.
It is expected that the last day of dealings in the Shares on a cum-rights basis is Thursday, 22 January 2026, and the Shares will be dealt with on an ex-rights basis from Friday, 23 January 2026.
Subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions of the Rights Issue, the Company will despatch the Prospectus Documents containing, among other matters, details of the Rights Issue, to the Qualifying Shareholders on the Prospectus Posting Date. The Company will despatch the Prospectus (without the PAL and the EAF) to the Excluded Shareholders for their information only. For the avoidance of doubt, the Excluded Shareholders are entitled to attend and vote at the EGM.
Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up the Rights Shares to which they are entitled and Excluded Shareholders should note that their shareholdings in the Company will be diluted.
The Non-Qualifying Shareholders
The Company will not extend the Rights Issue to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders. Accordingly, no provisional allotment of Rights Shares will be made to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders and Non-Qualifying Shareholders will not be entitled to apply for Rights Shares.
{23}------------------------------------------------
Rights Shares which would otherwise have been provisionally allotted to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders will be made available for excess application by the Qualifying Shareholders under the EAFs.
The Company will send the Prospectus Documents to the Qualifying Shareholders only and will, subject to the advice given in the legal opinions provided by the Company's legal advisers in the relevant overseas jurisdictions of Overseas Shareholders, if any, and to the extent reasonably practicable, send the Prospectus (excluding the PAL and EAF) to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders for information purposes only.
The Overseas Shareholders
The Prospectus Documents will not be registered under the applicable securities legislation of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong. Overseas Shareholders, if any, may not be eligible to take part in the Rights Issue.
The Company notes the requirements specified in the notes to Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing Rules, and is in the process of making reasonable enquiries regarding the feasibility of extending the Rights Issue to Overseas Shareholders present on the Record Date. If, after such enquiries, the Company is of the opinion that it would be necessary or expedient, on account of the legal restrictions or prohibitions under the laws of the relevant jurisdictions or any requirements of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange in such jurisdictions, not to offer the Rights Shares to the relevant Overseas Shareholders, no provisional allotment of nil-paid Rights Shares or allotment of fully-paid Rights Shares will be made to such Overseas Shareholders. Such Overseas Shareholders will be regarded as Non-Qualifying Shareholders and will not qualify for the Rights Issue. The basis of exclusion of Non-Qualifying Shareholders, if any, will be disclosed in the Prospectus.
Based on the register of members of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 220 Shareholders with registered addresses situated overseas as follows:

Arrangements will be made for Rights Shares which would otherwise have been provisionally allotted to the Non-Qualifying Shareholder(s) to be sold in the market in their nil-paid form as soon as practicable after dealings in the nil-paid Rights Shares commence, if a premium (net of expenses) can be obtained. The proceeds of such sale, less expenses and stamp duty, of more than HK\$100 will be paid pro rata to the Non-Qualifying Shareholder(s). The Company will retain individual amounts of HK\$100 or less for the benefit of the Company.
Overseas Shareholders and beneficial owners of Shares who are residing outside Hong Kong should note that they may or may not be able to participate in the Rights Issue, subject to the results of enquiries made by the Company pursuant to the notes to Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing Rules. The Company reserves the right to treat as invalid any acceptance of or applications for Rights Shares where it believes that such acceptance or application would violate the applicable securities laws or other laws or regulations of any territory or jurisdiction. The Rights Issue does not constitute any offer or invitation to sell, issue or solicit for Shares in any jurisdiction in which such actions are unlawful or otherwise restricted. Accordingly, Overseas Shareholders and beneficial owners of Shares who are residing outside Hong Kong should inform themselves of and observe any such restrictions, if applicable, and exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.
No fractional entitlement to the Rights Shares
On the basis of provisional allotment of three Rights Shares for every one Share held by the Qualifying Shareholders on the Record Date, no fractional entitlement to the Rights Shares will arise under the Rights Issue.
Odd lot arrangement
No odd lot matching services will be provided.
Application for Excess Rights Shares
All Qualifying Shareholders are entitled to apply by way of excess application under the EAFs for additional Rights Shares in excess of their assured entitlements.
The Excess Rights Shares will comprise:
- (i) any Rights Shares provisionally allotted but not accepted by any of the Qualifying Shareholders or otherwise subscribed for by transferees of nil-paid Rights Shares prior to the Latest Time for Acceptance; and
- (ii) any Rights Shares which would otherwise have been provisionally allotted to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders or otherwise not subscribed for by renounces or transferees of nil-paid Rights Shares.
{25}------------------------------------------------
Application for Excess Rights Shares can be made only by Qualifying Shareholders duly completing the EAFs (in accordance with the instructions printed thereon) and lodging the same with a separate remittance for the Excess Rights Shares being applied for with the Registrar on or before the Latest Time for Acceptance, which is expected to be 4:00 p.m. on Monday, 23 February 2026.
Qualifying Shareholders who wish to apply for Excess Rights Shares in addition to their provisional allotments must complete both the PAL and the EAF.
Basis of allocation of Excess Rights Shares
The Company will allocate the Excess Rights Shares at its discretion on a fair and equitable basis as far as practicable on the following principles:
- (i) if there are insufficient Excess Rights Shares to satisfy all EAFs, Excess Rights Shares will be allocated on a pro rata basis by reference to the number of Excess Rights Shares applied for in the relevant EAFs by the relevant Qualifying Shareholders;
- (ii) otherwise (i.e. if the aggregate number of Rights Shares not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders and/or transferees of nil-paid Rights Shares under the PALs is greater than the aggregate number of Excess Rights Shares applied for through the EAFs), Excess Rights Shares will be allocated in full in accordance with the EAFs to each Qualifying Shareholder who applies for Excess Rights Shares.
For the avoidance of doubt, in applying the principles above, reference will only be made to the number of Excess Rights Shares being applied for in the relevant EAFs, and no reference will be made to the Rights Shares comprised in applications through PAL or the existing number of Shares held by the relevant Qualifying Shareholders; and no preference will be given to applications for topping up odd lots.
Shareholders whose Shares are held by a nominee (or held through CCASS) should note that the Board will regard such nominee (including HKSCC Nominees Limited) as a single Shareholder according to the register of members of the Company. Accordingly, the aforesaid arrangement for allocation of Excess Rights Shares by the Company may not be extended to the beneficial owners individually. Beneficial owners whose Shares are held by a nominee (or held through CCASS) are advised to consider whether they would like to arrange for the registration of their Shares in their own names on or prior to the Last Day for Transfer.

All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.

None of the above conditions can be waived. If any of the conditions referred to above is not fulfilled by Tuesday, 31 March 2026, the Rights Issue will not proceed.

REASONS FOR THE RIGHTS ISSUE AND THE USE OF PROCEEDS
The Group is principally engaged in (i) the provision of transmission and broadcasting of television programs (the "CMMB Business"); and (ii) the trading of printed circuit board ("PCB") and artificial intelligence ("AI") related products (the "Trading Business").
Reasons for the Rights Issue
As disclosed in the Company's annual report for FY2024 and the interim report for the six months period ended 30 June 2025, the Company has faced a declining revenue trend, decreasing from approximately US\$8.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2022 to approximately US\$6.4 million for FY2024. The Company also recorded continuous loss for the year since 31 December 2020. Additionally, the bank balances and cash of the Group have been low, amounted to approximately US\$889,000 as at 31 December 2024 and approximately US\$335,000 as at 30 June 2025 respectively.
During the 12 months prior to the Last Trading Day, the Company conducted two fund-raising activities, comprising a placing of new Shares under the general mandate (as detailed in the Company's announcement dated 11 February 2025) and a subscription of new Shares under the general mandate (as detailed in the Company's announcement dated 8 September 2025). These activities generated aggregate net proceeds of approximately HK\$16.1 million (please refer to the
{28}------------------------------------------------
section headed "FUND RAISING EXERCISE IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS" below for details of the use of such net proceeds), out of which approximately HK\$15.1 million has been utilised in accordance with the intended purposes, with the remaining approximately HK\$1.0 million expected to be applied towards the Group's general working capital by the end of 2025.
In light of the Group's ongoing financial challenges and limited liquidity as mentioned above, the Directors consider that additional capital is essential to strengthen the financial position and business development of the Company. Regarding the CMMB Business, which is the major revenue stream of the Company, accounted for approximately 54.4% of the Company's revenue for FY2024 and approximately 59.1% of the Company's revenue for the six months period ended 30 June 2024, the Company intends to enhance and upgrade the existing relevant machines and equipment used in the CMMB business in order to maintain the competitiveness of the Company. The relevant machines and equipment has been using in the CMMB Business for over 4 years and will be phased out in the near future.
Regarding the Trading Business, which accounted for approximately 45.6% of the Company's revenue for the year ended 31 December 2024 and approximately 40.9% of the Company's revenue for the six months period ended 30 June 2024, the Company intends to enhance our services using the Company's existing technology. Currently, the Trading Business operates on an outdated system that lacks a proper inventory management system to track stock and manage customer interactions, as well as limited supply chain management capabilities to optimise procurement, logistics and distribution processes. The Company is actively exploring the expansion of its online platform to modernise operations and reach a broader customers base, such as upgrading the real time checking system and integrated control system to monitor the status of the products. This digital expansion will not only improve customer accessibility but also support the integration of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and big data analytics. An up-to-date platform is the key to driving the Trading Business to the next level and meeting the customer's evolving needs in order to remain competitive in a rapidly changing world.
As stated in the paragraph headed "Prospects" under the section headed "Management Discussion and Analysis" of the Company's interim report of the Company for the six months period ended 30 June 2025, "The Company is deeply invested in pioneering advanced satellite communication services and applications within the science and technology sector", leverage on the existing technology of the Company can enhance the services provided to our customers in the Trading Business segment. Therefore, the Company intends to allocate approximately HK\$17.17 million for the installation of the hardware and software for the Trading Business segment in order to provide additional value-added services to our existing customers and potential new customers in order to increase the revenue to be generated from the Trading Business segment in the future.
In addition, Mr. Yang Tenghao ("Mr. Yang"), the executive Director, is an experienced expert in corporate management and media operations, with nearly two decades of experience in media communication, corporate brand operations, and cross-sector resource integration in PRC, Macau and Hong Kong. Mr. Yang has served in the broadcasting and satellite media industry, having held positions as director and general supervisor at Guangdong Television Station, special assistant to the executive chairman of the board and director of legal affairs at Hong Kong Chaosheng Satellite Television, and from 2012 to 2014, he served as chief operating officer and executive station head of
{29}------------------------------------------------
Macau China Satellite Television, overseeing channel operations, program production, and cross-regional cooperation. Based on Mr. Yang experiences in satellite and media operation as stated above, the Company are of the view that the development of application of the Company's satellite technology is positive.
Use of proceeds
Assuming full subscription under the Rights Issues and no change in the number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date, the net proceeds from the Rights Issue, after deducting estimated expenses, are expected to be approximately HK\$162.00 million. The Company intends to allocate the net proceeds (i) as to 33.5% (approximately HK\$54.27 million) for technology development and infrastructure for the CMMB Business to improve user interfaces and experience; (ii) as to 29.2% (approximately HK\$47.30 million) for the development of the Trading Business to deliver enhanced value-added services and expand the Trading Business into the PRC market; (iii) as to 8.4% (approximately HK\$13.61 million) for hiring additional manpower for business expansion in the PRC; (iv) as to 4.2% (approximately HK\$6.80 million) for marketing campaigns and promotions; (v) as to 16.3% (approximately HK\$26.41 million) for general working capital of the Group; and (vi) as to 8.4% (approximately HK\$13.61 million) for other investment opportunities to be identified.

{31}------------------------------------------------
In the event that there is an undersubscription of the Rights Issue, the net proceeds of the Rights Issue will be prioritised for technology development and infrastructure enhancement for the CMMB Business and expansion of the Trading Business. Any excess amount will be allocated proportionally to the remaining categories.
Rights Issue as the preferred fund-raising activity of the Group
The Board has considered various ways of raising funds and believes that the Rights Issue is the most efficient way in terms of time and costs for the Company. The Board considers it is prudent to finance the Group's long-term growth by long-term financing, preferably in the form of equity which will not increase the Group's finance costs.
The Board has evaluated various fund-raising alternatives before deciding on the Rights Issue, including but not limited to debt financing, placing of new Shares and open offer. Debt financing would impose an additional interest burden, increase the Group's gearing ratio and subject the Group to repayment obligations. Regarding equity fundraising, the Company recently conducted a subscription of new shares under the general mandate (as detailed in the Company's announcement dated 8 September 2025). While an open offer is similar to a rights issue in allowing qualifying shareholders to participate, it does not permit the free trading of rights entitlements in the open market. In contrast, the Board considers the Rights Issue, being pre-emptive in nature, to be the most suitable option, as it enables all qualifying shareholders to participate in the Company's future development. Additionally, it provides greater flexibility, allowing Qualifying Shareholders to maintain, increase, or decrease their pro-rata shareholdings by subscribing to their rights entitlements, acquiring additional rights entitlements, or selling their rights entitlements in the open market (subject to availability).
The Board considers that the terms of the Rights Issue are fair and reasonable and raising funds through the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Chi Capital, being a controlling shareholder of the Company, directly holds 60,857,819 Shares, representing approximately 50.74% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Chi Capital is a company wholly-owned by Mr. Wong, the chairman of the Board and the executive Director of the Company. Accordingly, Chi Capital, Mr. Wong and their respective associates shall abstain from voting in favour of the Rights Issue in accordance with Rule 7.27A of the Listing Rules.
The Rights Issue does not result in a theoretical dilution effect of 25% or more. As such, the theoretical dilution impact of the Rights Issue is in compliance with Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules.
{38}------------------------------------------------
Save for Mr. Lui, one of the directors but not a licensed person of the Financial Adviser, having resigned from his position as the non-executive Director, the Financial Adviser is independent of the connected persons of the Company under the Listing Rules. Mr. Lui resigned as a non-executive Director of the Company with effect from 26 November 2025 and is therefore no longer a Director of the Company. Except for Mr. Lui, none of the Directors has a material interest in the engagement of the Financial Adviser and the transaction contemplated thereunder and therefore no Director (other than Mr. Lui) has abstained from voting on the Board resolution(s) of the Company to approve the engagement of the Financial Adviser and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

WARNING OF THE RISKS OF DEALING IN SHARES AND RIGHTS SHARES
The Rights Issue is subject to the fulfilment of conditions including the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares in their nil-paid and fully-paid forms. If the conditions to the Rights Issue are not fulfilled, the Rights Issue will not proceed.
Any Shareholder or other person dealing in Shares and/or Rights Shares up to the date on which all the conditions of the Rights Issue are fulfilled will accordingly bear the risk that the Rights Issue may not proceed.
Subject to the fulfilment of conditions, the Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis irrespective of the level of acceptance of provisionally allotted Rights Shares. There is no minimum amount to be raised under the Rights Issue. Accordingly, if the Rights Issue is undersubscribed, the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced. Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up their assured entitlements in full and Non-Qualifying Shareholders, if any, should note that their shareholdings in the Company may be diluted, the extent of which will depend in part on the size of the Rights Issue.

On 19 November 2025, the Company announced that it proposes to raise gross proceeds of up to (i) approximately HK\$163.72 million (assuming full subscription under the Rights Issue and no change in the number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date) by issuing up to 359,821,602 Rights Shares; or (ii) approximately HK\$174.34 million (assuming full subscription under the Rights Issue and no change in the number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date other than the full conversion of the Convertible Notes on or before the Record Date) by issuing up to 383,161,602 Rights Shares at the Subscription Price of HK\$0.455 per Rights Share on the basis of three (3) Rights Shares for every one (1) Share held on the Record Date. The Rights Issue is only available to the Qualifying Shareholders and will not be extended to the Non-Qualifying Shareholder(s) (if any).
The Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis irrespective of the level of acceptance of provisionally allotted Rights Shares. In the event that the provisional allotments for the Rights Issue are not fully subscribed, any Rights Shares not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders together with the Rights Shares not provisionally allotted to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders and aggregated fractions of Rights Shares will be made available for excess application under the EAFs. There is no minimum subscription level or minimum amount to be raised under the Rights Issue.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, we were not aware of any relationships or interests between us and the Company or any other parties that could reasonably be regarded as hindrance to our independence as defined under Rule 13.84 of the Listing Rules to act as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Rights Issue. We are not associated with the Company, its subsidiaries, its associates or their respective substantial shareholders or associates or any other parties to the Rights Issue, and accordingly, are eligible to give independent advice and recommendations on the Rights Issue and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
{45}------------------------------------------------

Year ended 31 December 2023 vs year ended 31 December 2024
As set out in the Annual Report 2024, the revenue of the Group decreased by approximately 12.9% from approximately US\$7.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 to approximately US\$6.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in the Trading Business, especially on the trading of AI products, as a result of sluggish economic condition.
{47}------------------------------------------------
The gross profit of the Group increased by approximately 15.1% from approximately US\$2.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 to approximately US\$2.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to the higher broadcasting service income.
The administrative expenses of the Group decreased from approximately US\$3.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 to approximately US\$0.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2024. The market development and promotion expenses of the Group decreased from approximately US\$0.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 to less than US\$0.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2024. These decreases were primarily attributable to the implementation of cost control by the Group.
The Group recorded the share of loss of an associate of approximately US\$49.6 million and US\$0.5 million for each of the years ended 31 December 2023 and 2024, respectively. The losses were primarily attributable to Management's assessment and revision of the associate company's commercial operations, projected cash flows, and revenue streams arising from delays in obtaining regulatory approvals and procuring high-power satellites, which resulted in a reduction in the valuation of its assets.
In light of the above, the loss for the year of the Group decreased from approximately US\$75.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2023 to approximately US\$9.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Six months ended 30 June 2024 vs six months ended 30 June 2025
As set out in the Interim Report 2025, the revenue of the Group decreased by approximately 6.3% from approximately US\$3.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to approximately US\$2.9 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in trading of PCB and AI products in the Trading Business.
The gross profit of the Group decreased by approximately 22.0% from approximately US\$1.5 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to approximately US\$1.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to the lower margin the rental television income.
The administrative expenses of the Group remained steady at approximately US\$0.5 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 and approximately US\$0.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025. The market development and promotion expenses of the Group remained at less than US\$0.1 million for each of the six months periods ended 30 June 2024 and 2025.
The Group recorded the share of loss of an associate of approximately US\$0.3 million and approximately US\$0.2 million for each of the six months periods ended 30 June 2024 and 2025, respectively.
{48}------------------------------------------------
In light of the above, the loss for the period of the Group increased from approximately US\$0.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to approximately US\$0.5 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025.
Summary of the Group's consolidated financial position
As set out in the Interim Report 2025, the Group recorded (i) the unaudited total assets and net assets of approximately US\$36.4 million and approximately US\$23.4 million, respectively; (ii) the unaudited cash and cash equivalents of approximately US\$0.3 million; and (iii) the convertible notes of approximately US\$10.0 million, as at 30 June 2025.
Other than the convertible notes, the Group did not have any bank borrowings as at 30 June 2025.
2. Reasons for and benefits of the Rights Issue and the proposed use of net proceeds
The funding needs
With reference to the Annual Report 2024 and Interim Report 2025, the cash and cash equivalents of the Group have been low, amounted to approximately US\$889,000 as at 31 December 2024 and approximately US\$335,000 as at 30 June 2025 respectively.
In the 12 months prior to the Last Trading Day, the Company conducted two fund-raising activities generating aggregate net proceeds of approximately HK\$16.1 million, of which approximately HK\$15.1 million has been utilised in accordance with the intended purposes. The remaining approximately HK\$1.0 million is expected to be applied towards the Group's general working capital by the end of 2025. As such, the Group lacks additional funds to implement enhancement and upgrade for the CMMB Business and Trading Business.
With reference to Annual Report 2024 and Interim Report 2025, we noted that the Group has recorded a decreasing trend in total revenue. The total revenue decreased by 12.9% year-over-year in 2024, and decreased by 6.3% period-over-period for the first half of 2025. As stated in the Annual Report 2024, the decrease in Group's revenue was primarily a result of sluggish economic condition.
As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Management intends to enhance and upgrade the existing relevant machines and equipment used in the CMMB Business for over four years in order to maintain competitiveness. Further, the Management is exploring the digital expansion of its Trading Business online platform, enhancing the features to improve customer accessibility and to support the integration of advanced technologies such as AI and big data analytics. The Management also plans to install new hardware and software to provide additional value-added services to existing and potential new customers in order to drive its revenue growth in Trading Business.
{49}------------------------------------------------
Taking into consideration that (i) the current cash and cash equivalent of the Group remain low, (ii) the proceeds raised in the past 12 months have almost been fully utilised, (iii) the Group has been recording a decreasing trend in revenue, and (iv) the existing machinery and equipment, as well as the online platform, need to be upgraded or enhanced in order to maintain the Group's competitiveness, the Management is of the view, and we concur, that there is a need for the Company to seek opportunities to raise funds.
Other fund-raising alternatives
As stated in the letter form the Board, the Company has considered and evaluated various fund-raising methods, including (i) debt financing; and (ii) other equity fund raising methods such as placing of new Shares and open offer, and has decided to propose the Rights Issue due to the following reasons.
In respect of debt financing, the Directors noted that bank borrowings will carry interest costs and may require the provision of security and creditors will rank before the Shareholders. Further, given a consecutive loss-making historical financial performance of the Group for each of the three years ended 31 December 2024, as well as the loss-making performance in the six months ended 30 June 2025, the Management is of the view that it would be difficult for the Group to obtain further debt financing at a reasonably low cost.
In respect of equity financing, as opposed to the Rights Issue, the Management considered that both placing of new Shares under general mandate and open offer do not offer options to the existing Shareholders, including (1) allowing the Shareholders to maintain their respective shareholdings in the Company; and (2) increasing their shareholding interests in the Company by acquiring additional rights entitlements in the open market or reducing their shareholding interests in the Company by disposing of their rights entitlements in the open market.
Considering (i) the feasibility of the fund raising methods; and (ii) the additional flexibility provided from the options in the Rights Issue to the existing Shareholders, the Directors are of the view, and we concur, that the Rights Issue is the most appropriate fund raising option under the current circumstances compared to the aforesaid alternative fund-raising methods.
The proposed use of proceeds
Assuming full subscription under the Rights Issues and no change in the number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date, the net proceeds from the Rights Issue, after deducting estimated expenses, are expected to be approximately HK\$162.00 million.
The Company plans to allocate the maximum net proceeds in the following manner: (i) approximately HK\$54.27 million (or 33.5% of the maximum net proceeds) for technology development and infrastructure for the CMMB Business to improve user interfaces and experience; (ii) approximately HK\$47.30 million (or 29.2% of the maximum net proceeds) for the development of the Trading Business to deliver enhanced value-added services and expand the Trading Business into the PRC market; (iii) approximately HK\$13.61 million (or 8.4% of the maximum net proceeds) for hiring additional manpower for business expansion in the PRC; (iv)
{50}------------------------------------------------
approximately HK\$6.80 million (or 4.2% of the maximum net proceeds) for marketing campaigns and promotions; (v) approximately HK\$26.41 million (or 16.3% of the maximum net proceeds) for general working capital of the Group; and (vi) approximately HK\$13.61 million (or 8.4% of the maximum net proceeds) for other investment opportunities to be identified.
In relation to the proposed use of approximately HK\$54.3 million, representing approximately 33.5 % of the net proceeds, for technology development and infrastructure for the CMMB Business, we note from the Annual Report 2024 that CMMB Business was the major revenue stream of the Company, accounted for approximately 54.4% of the Company's revenue for the year 2024. As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Company intends to enhance and upgrade the current setup of the CMMB Business to maintain the competitiveness of the Company. We obtained the relevant list of machines and equipment from the Management that has been used for over four years that will be phased out in the near future, and obtained the breakdown of the estimated cost from the Management for upgrading and replacement of such machines and equipment.
According to the publication of "The Space Economy in Figures: Responding to Global Challenges"1 published in year 2024 by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD"), an intergovernmental organisation that facilitates economic growth and financial stability and provides data collection, analysis, policy development and implementation solutions, space technologies are increasingly integral to critical infrastructures, including terrestrial broadcasting. It notes that the transformation of the space sector, driven by lower launch costs and rapid technological innovation, has expanded global capacity in communications, navigation, and observation. This expansion enables terrestrial networks, that the Company operates, to leverage satellite-based solutions for improved coverage and reliability, especially in remote or underserved regions.
Further, the "Report on The Space Economy 2024"2 published in December 2024 by The European Space Agency ("ESA"), an intergovernmental space agency that develops launchers and spacecraft for the development of space capability, as well as provides training to the astronauts, further underscores the importance of technological advancement, pointing out that the sector is undergoing significant evolutions due to the deployment of large non-geostationary orbit ("NGEO") constellations, such as Starlink and OneWeb. These constellations are designed to address the demand for universal connectivity, including consumer broadband, and are driving the need for terrestrial broadcasters to upgrade their infrastructure to remain competitive. The report also highlights the emergence of direct-to-device ("D2D") services, which capitalise on both terrestrial and satellite networks to provide ubiquitous coverage and seamless connectivity everywhere, anytime and to everyone. This initiative requires broadcasters to upgrade their terrestrial infrastructure and adapt their systems to improve the coverage and connectivity.

{51}------------------------------------------------
In view of (i) the CMMB Business has been the principal business of the Group that generate majority of revenue of the Group, (ii) the Company's intention to enhance and upgrade the current setup of CMMB Business to maintain the competitiveness of the Company, (ii) the machines and equipment has been used for over four years that will be phased out in the near future, (iii) the reports published by OECD and ESA underscore the importance of technological advancement on terrestrial infrastructure for the CMMB Business that the Company is operating to cope with the emerging market needs, we consider the use of proceeds of the Group for the technological enhancement for the CMMB Business to be reasonable.
In relation to the proposed use of approximately HK\$47.3 million, representing approximately 29.2% of net proceeds, for development of the Trading Business, we note from the Annual Report 2024 that the Trading Business was a major revenue stream of the Company, accounted for approximately 45.6% of the Company's revenue for the year 2024. As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Trading Business of the Group lacks a proper inventory management system to track stock and manage customer interactions, as well as limited supplement chain management capability to optimise procurement, logistics and distribution processes. The digital transformation is aimed at improving customer accessibility and supporting the integration of advanced technologies such as AI and big data analytics. Thus, the Company intends to allocate approximately HK\$17.17 million (out of HK\$47.3 million) for the digital transformation for the Trading Business, includes the development of the inventory management system, the expanding of the supply chain management capability of the online platform, and the development of technical and after-sales support system.
According to an article titled "Supply Chain Trends 2024: The Digital Shake-up"3 published by KPMG, a global professional firm offers audit and assurance, advisory, tax and legal and other related professional services, there is a growing trend toward autonomous, self-learning machines that seamlessly manage broader supply chain processes driven by, among other factors, the emerging generative AI in operations. To avoid falling behind, organisations are advised to undertake digital transformation, enabling them to build a more agile and responsive supply chain capable of delivering value creation, cost reduction, and enhanced shareholder value.
In view of (i) the Trading Business has been the principal business of the Group, (ii) the digital transformation of the Trading Business intended to improve customer accessibility and support the integration of advanced technologies, and (iii) the report published by KPMG underscores the importance of digital transformation in supply chain management, we consider the use of proceeds for the digital transformation of Trading Business to be reasonable.
Further, as stated in the Letter from the Board, the Company intends to allocate approximately HK\$30.1 million (out of HK\$47.3 million) for the cash flow to expand the trading cycle in the PRC market. We note from the announcements of the Company dated 26 March 2025 and 11 July 2025 that the Company has signed certain memoranda of understanding ("MOU") with companies incorporated in PRC as strategic partners and has extended collaborations by leveraging the Group's resources. We also note from the Annual Report 2024 that the segment revenue of the Group includes revenue from customers located in the PRC, which indicates that

{52}------------------------------------------------
the Company possesses prior experience in PRC market. In view of (i) the Company has established business relationships with PRC customers, and (ii) the intended expansion in the PRC market aligns with recent corporate collaborations with PRC strategic partners who signed MOU with the Company, we consider the use of proceeds for the cash flow to expand the trading cycle in the PRC market to be reasonable.
In relation to the proposed use of approximately HK\$13.61 million, representing approximately 8.4% of net proceeds, for hiring additional manpower for business expansion in PRC, we note from the Annual Report 2024 that the average number of employees of the Group decreased from 22 for the year 2023 to 17 for the year 2024. In view of the limited workforce in the Group and the expansion plan in the PRC markets as mentioned above, we consider the use of proceeds for hiring additional manpower for business expansion in PRC to be reasonable.
In relation to the proposed use of approximately HK\$26.41 million, representing approximately 16.3% of net proceeds, as general working capital of the Group, with reference to the Interim Report 2025, we noted the administrative expenses amounted to approximately US\$655,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2025, whereas the bank balances and cash amounted to approximately US\$335,000 as at 30 June 2025. In view of the latest published bank and cash balance was less than the six-month administrative expenses for the first half of 2025, we consider the use of proceeds of the Group for general working capital to be reasonable and conducive to enhancing the liquidity of the Group.
In relation to the proposed use of approximately HK\$13.61 million, representing approximately 8.4% of net proceeds, for other investment opportunities to be identified, we have reviewed the annual reports of the Group as well as the Group's disclosed principal activities. We noted from the Annual Report 2023 and the Annual Report 2024 that the Group has been actively exploring other business opportunities and diversify its revenue stream. We consider the proposed allocation to be consistent with the Group's stated strategy. Having regard to such diversification strategy has been consistently applied and the potential long-term benefits of diversification, we consider the use of proceeds for other investment opportunities to be identified is reasonable.
In relation to the proposed use of approximately HK\$6.8 million, representing 4.2% of net proceeds, for marketing campaigns and promotions, we note from the Annual Report 2024 that market development and promotion expenses are recurring expense. In view of (i) the recurring nature of market development and promotion expenses, (ii) the digital transformation of Trading Business aimed at improving customer accessibility and meet the customer's evolving needs, thereby providing additional value-added services to both existing and potential customers to boost revenue, and (iii) the expansion plan in PRC market as mentioned above, we consider the use of proceeds for marketing campaigns and promotions is reasonable.
{53}------------------------------------------------
In the event that there is an undersubscription of the Rights Issue, the net proceeds of the Rights Issue will be prioritised for technology development and infrastructure enhancement for the CMMB Business and expansion of the Trading Business. Any excess amount will be allocated proportionally to the remaining categories.
Taking into consideration that (i) the proposed use of proceeds can fulfil the funding needs of the Company to maintain its competitiveness in the industry, and (ii) in case of under-subscription, the net proceeds will be prioritised for technology development and infrastructure enhancement of the principal businesses of the Group in order to improve its financial performance, we are of the view that the proposed use of proceeds is fair and reasonable and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Save for the aforesaid, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has no other outstanding derivatives, options, warrants, conversion rights or other similar rights which are convertible into or giving rights to subscribe for, convert or exchange into any Shares prior to the Record Date.
Subscription Price
The Subscription Price is HK\$0.455 per Rights Share, payable in full upon acceptance of the relevant provisional allotment of Rights Shares under the Rights Issue or when a transferee of nil-paid Rights Shares applies for the Rights Shares or where applicable, upon an application of Excess Rights Shares.
The Subscription Price represents:
- (i) a discount of approximately 34.06% to the closing price of HK\$0.690 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date;
- (ii) a discount of approximately 31.06% to the closing price of HK\$0.660 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
- (iii) a discount of approximately 32.29% to the average of the closing prices of HK\$0.672 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five (5) consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
- (iv) a discount of approximately 31.58% to the average of the closing prices of approximately HK\$0.665 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the ten (10) consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
- (v) a discount of approximately 10.13% to the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK\$0.5063 per Share as adjusted for the effect of the Rights Issue, based on the closing price of HK\$0.660 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
- (vi) a theoretical dilution effect (as defined under Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules) of approximately 24.51% to the existing Shareholders if they elect not to participate in the Rights Issue, which is calculated based on the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK\$0.5103 per Share and the benchmarked price of approximately HK\$0.676 per Share (as defined under Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules, taking into account the higher of the closing price on the Last Trading Day of HK\$0.660 per Share and the average of the closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Last Trading Day of approximately HK\$0.676 per Share); and
{57}------------------------------------------------
(vii) a discount of approximately 62.81% to the latest published unaudited consolidated net asset value per Share as at 30 June 2025 of approximately HK\$1.2236 (based on the net asset value attributable to the owners of the Company as at 30 June 2025 of approximately US\$18,863,000 (equivalent to approximately HK\$146,754,140 based on the exchange rate of US\$1 = HK\$7.78) as disclosed in the interim results announcement of the Company dated 29 August 2025 for the six months ended 30 June 2025 and 119,940,534 Shares in issue as at the date of this announcement).
As disclosed in the Letter from the Board, the Subscription Price was determined with reference to, among others, (i) the recent closing prices of the Shares; (ii) the low liquidity of the Shares; (iii) the financial conditions of the Company; (iv) the amount of funds the Company intends to raise under the Rights Issue; and (v) the other reasons for the Rights Issue, such as the ongoing financial challenges and limited liquidity faced by the Group, the funding needs to maintain the competitiveness in CMMB Business, the funding needs to drive the Trading Business to meet customers' evolving needs, in order to increase revenue in the future.
In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, we (i) reviewed the historical daily closing prices of the Shares for a one-year period, (ii) reviewed the historical trading volume and conducted a liquidity analysis of the Shares for a one-year period, and (iii) conducted a comparable analysis for other rights issues for a six-month period. Please refer to "5. Assessment of principle terms of Rights Issue" for the details of the analysis conducted, and "5. Assessment of principle terms of Rights Issue — Our view" for the details of our conclusion.
Non-underwritten arrangement
The Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis irrespective of the level of acceptance of provisionally allotted Rights Shares. In the event that the provisional allotments for the Rights Issue are not fully subscribed, any Rights Shares not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders together with the Rights Shares not provisionally allotted to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders and aggregated fractions of Rights Shares will be made available for excess application under the EAFs. There is no minimum subscription level or minimum amount to be raised under the Rights Issue.
As the Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis, the Shareholder who applies to take up all or part of his/her/its entitlement under the PAL(s) and EAF(s), or transferees of nil-paid Rights Shares (or either of them, whichever shall be appropriate), may unwittingly incur an obligation to make a general offer for the Shares under the Takeovers Code or cause the public float of the Company to decrease to below 25%. Accordingly, the Rights Issue will be made on terms that the Company will provide for the Shareholders to apply on the basis that if the Rights Shares are not fully taken up, the application of any Shareholder (except for HKSCC Nominees Limited) for his/her/its assured entitlement under the Rights Issue will be scaled down to a level which (a) does not trigger an obligation on part of the relevant Shareholder to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code in accordance with the note to Rule 7.19(5)(b) of the Listing Rules; and (b) does not cause the Company's public float to decrease to below 25%. Any subscription monies not being utilised due to the scaled-down application of entitled Rights Shares or Excess Rights Shares will be refunded to the affected applicants.
{58}------------------------------------------------
5. Assessment of the principal terms of Rights Issue
Historical Share Price Performance
In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, we reviewed the daily closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange from 20 November 2024 up to and including the Last Trading Day (the "Review Period"), representing one year prior to and including the Last Trading Day. We consider the one year period, and the corresponding number of trading days, to be adequate and appropriate for a thorough analysis of the historical closing prices of the Shares relative to the Subscription Price. Set out below is the chart illustrating the daily closing prices and the Subscription Price in the Review Period.

Note: "MOU" stands for memorandum of understanding
Source: website of the Stock Exchange
During the Review Period, the highest and the lowest closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange were HK\$1.480 recorded on both 13 October 2025 and 14 October 2025, and HK\$0.470 recorded on 15 May 2025, respectively, and the average closing price was approximately HK\$0.708. The closing price of the Shares generally remained at similar level since November 2024.
Based on our review of the Company's announcements published on the website of the Stock Exchange during the Review Period, except for the publication of annual results and interim results announcements, there is no particular reason and we are not aware of any information causing the fluctuations on the closing price of the Shares. We have further made inquiry to the Management who are also not aware of any other reasons for the fluctuations on the closing price of the Shares during the Review Period. As disclosed in the Letter from the Board, the Board observed that there were short-term fluctuations in the closing price of the Shares in October 2025. The Directors consider these fluctuations to be anomalous.
{59}------------------------------------------------
The Subscription Price of HK\$0.455 per Share is below the range of the lowest and highest closing prices of the Shares during the Review Period. It represents (i) a discount of approximately 3.2% to the lowest closing price of HK\$0.470 during the Review Period; (ii) a discount of approximately 69.0% to the highest closing price of HK\$1.470 during the Review Period; and (iii) a discount of approximately 35.7% to the average closing price of approximately HK\$0.708 during the Review Period.
With reference to the sub-paragraph headed "Rights issue comparables analysis" below in this paragraph, we note that it is a common market practice that the subscription price of a rights issue is set at a discount to the prevailing market prices of the relevant shares to encourage the existing shareholders to participate in a rights issue as to meet the need of equity fund raising.

| Min | 63,404 | 0.07 | ||
| Median | 255,703 | 0.27 | ||
| Average | 509,971 | 0.46 |
{60}------------------------------------------------
During the Review Period, the average daily trading volume of the Shares ranged from a low of approximately 0.07% and up to a high of 2.75% to the total number of issued Shares as at the end of relevant month. Given the thin trading volume of the Shares, we consider that the Company is unlikely to be able to raise sizable equity funds from third parties without a substantial discount to the prevailing Share price. Taking into account the low trading liquidity of the Shares, we are of the view that (i) the Rights Issue is an appropriate equity financing method for the Group, and (ii) it is reasonable to set at a discount for the Subscription Price to encourage the Qualifying Shareholders to subscribe for the Rights Shares.
Rights issue comparable analysis
In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Rights Issue, including the Subscription Price, we compared the Rights Issue to other rights issues conducted by other listed companies on the Stock Exchange. We reviewed rights issues of the companies listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong based on the key selection criteria: (i) the initial announcement of the rights issue was published within the Review Period; and (ii) the rights issue is either completed or not terminated as at the Latest Practicable Date. To the best of our knowledge and as far as we are aware, we identified 43 Comparables which we consider is an exhaustive list of relevant Comparables.
We consider that the Review Period is adequate and appropriate given that (i) it provides recent information demonstrating prevailing market practice for rights issues prior to the Last Trading Day; and (ii) a sufficient number of Comparables were identified during the Review Period. Independent Shareholders should note that the businesses, operations and prospects of the Group may not be the same as those of the Comparables listed below. Nevertheless, we consider that the Comparables were determined under similar market conditions and sentiment and therefore provide a general reference for assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Rights Issue, including the Subscription Price.

Note 1: The relevant Comparable has to set the subscription price at a premium to its recent trading price prior to the rights issue to avoid the subscription price being set below the par value; accordingly, such premium rates are considered as outlier.
Note 2: The premium rates of the subscription price over the net asset value per issued share of the relevant Comparables are exceptionally high and considered as outliers.
{65}------------------------------------------------
As shown in the above table, we noted that 40 out of 43 Comparables set the subscription price at a discount to their prevailing market price. It demonstrates that it is not uncommon to set the subscription price of a rights issue at a discount to its prevailing market price in order to encourage the existing shareholders to participate the rights issue.
Among the 43 Comparables we have identified, 30 Comparables are used for the comparison purpose and 13 Comparables are considered as outliers due to either (i) its premium subscription price was set to avoid subscription price being set below par value, (ii) its exceptionally high premium of the subscription price over its net asset value per share, or (iii) its market capitalisation is significantly higher than that of the Company.. As shown in the above table, we noted that:
- (i) the subscription price to the closing price on the respective last trading day of the Comparables ranged from a discount of 62.10% to a premium of 2.70%, with an average discount of 25.00%. The Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 31.06% to the closing price of the Share on the Last Trading Day, which is within the range of that of the Comparables;
- (ii) the subscription price to the five-day average of the closing price on the respective last trading day of the Comparables ranged from a discount of 63.20% to a premium of 9.00%, with an average discount of 24.89%. The Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 32.29% to the five-day average closing price of the Share on the Last Trading Day, which is within the range of that of the Comparables;
- (iii) the subscription price to the theoretical ex-rights price on the respective last trading day of the Comparables ranged from a discount of 52.20% to a premium of 1.35%, with an average discount of 14.33%. The Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 10.13% to the theoretical ex-rights price of the Share on the Last Trading Day, which is within the range of that of the Comparables;
- (iv) the subscription price to the net asset value per issued share of the Comparables ranged from a discount of 97.30% to a premium of 59.09%, with an average discount of 49.27%. The Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 62.81% to the net asset value per Share, which is within the range of that of the Comparables; and
- (v) the theoretical dilution effect of the Comparables ranged from approximately 0.55% to 24.93%, with an average of approximately 14.34%. The theoretical dilution effect of the Rights Issue of approximately 24.51% is within the range of that of the Comparables despite being close to the high end of that of the Comparables.
{66}------------------------------------------------
Our view
Having conducted the above analysis and considered that:
- (i) it is a common market practice for the companies listed on the Stock Exchange to set the subscription price of a rights issue at a discount to the market price in order to encourage the existing shareholders to participate in the rights issue;
- (ii) the discounts represented by the Subscription Price to the closing price on the Last Trading Day, the five-day average closing price, the theoretical ex-rights price per Share and the net asset value per issued share, as well as the theoretical dilution effect of the Rights Issue fall within the respective range of that of the Comparables;
- (iii) the Share price performance has no notable growth in the 12 months prior to the Last Trading Day that could possibly imply the lack of attractiveness from investors, so that a larger discount is required to attract investors to participate in the Rights Issue;
- (iv) the trading volume of the Shares was generally thin during the Review Period;
- (v) there is a need for the Company to seek opportunities to raise funds to, among others, maintain the competitiveness in the industry;
- (vi) other alternative fund raising methods may not be preferrable over the Rights Issue as discussed in the paragraph headed "Other fund-raising alternatives" above in this letter;
- (vii) in case of under-subscription, the net proceeds of Rights Issue will be prioritised to be applied in technological advancement of the principal business that the Company is currently engaging; and
- (viii)the interest of the Qualifying Shareholders will not be prejudiced by the discount of the Subscription Price as long as they are offered an equal opportunity to participate in the Rights Issue and to take up their entitlements in full at the same price to maintain their respective shareholdings in the Company,
we are of the view that the determination of the Subscription Price, along with the other terms of the Rights Issue, are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
{67}------------------------------------------------
6. Dilution effect of the Rights Issue on shareholding interests
All the Qualifying Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for the Rights Shares. For those Qualifying Shareholders who take up their full provisional allotments under the Rights Issue, their shareholding interests in the Company will remain unchanged after the Rights Issue. Referring to the section headed "EFFECT OF THE RIGHTS ISSUE ON SHAREHOLDINGS IN THE COMPANY" in the Letter from the Board, those Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up the Rights Shares to which they are entitled and the Excluded Shareholders should note that their shareholdings in the Company will be diluted upon completion of the Rights Issue and their aggregate shareholding interests in the Company may be reduced by a maximum of approximately 75%. It should be noted that the actual changes in the shareholding structure of the Company upon completion of the Rights Issue are subject to various factors, including but not limited to the results of acceptance of the Rights Issue.
Having taken into account (i) all Qualifying Shareholders are provided an equal opportunity to subscribe for their assured entitlements under the Rights Issue for the purpose of maintaining their respective existing shareholding interests in the Company; (ii) the Qualifying Shareholders have the opportunity to sell their nil-paid Rights Shares in the market if they do not wish to take up the Rights Issue entitlements; and (iii) shareholding dilution is generally inherent in rights issue with new shares being issued, we are of the view that the potential dilution effect on the shareholding is acceptable.
7. Financial Effect of the Rights Issue
Based on the Interim Report 2025, the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Group per Share was approximately HK\$1.2236, computed by dividing the unaudited consolidated net asset value attributable to the owners of the Company of approximately US\$18,863,000 as at 30 June 2025 by the total number of Shares in issue of 119,940,534 as at 30 November 2025.
According to the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group set out in Appendix II to the Circular, the unaudited consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to the owners of the Company were approximately US\$3,861,000 (or approximately US\$0.04 per Share) as at 30 June 2025. Had the Rights Issue been undertaken and completed on 30 June 2025, the unaudited consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to the owners of the Company would have been approximately US\$24,684,000 (or approximately US\$0.05 per Share) as at 30 June 2025.
As such, we are of the view that the Rights Issue is expected to have a positive impact on the financial position of the Group.
It should be noted that the aforementioned analyses are for illustrative purpose only and do not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will be upon completion of the Rights Issue.
{68}------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDATION
Having taken into consideration of the above factors and reasons, we are of the view and concur with the Directors' view that the terms of the Rights Issue are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and the transactions contemplated thereunder are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend (i) the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders; and (ii) the Independent Shareholders, to vote in favour of the relevant resolution(s) at the EGM to approve the Rights Issue and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
Yours faithfully, for and on behalf of HOORAY CAPITAL LIMITED Simon Cheung Director

For the year ended 31 December 2024, the Group was engaged in the CMMB Business and the Trading Business, generating revenue of approximately US\$6.4 million (2023: approximately US\$7.3 million). The decrease in revenue of approximately US\$0.9 million was mainly attributed to a decrease in the Trading Business, especially on the trading of AI products, due to sluggish economic conditions. The Group recorded a loss for the year of approximately US\$9.5 million (2023: approximately US\$75.0 million). Loss per Share was approximately US\$0.10 (2023: approximately US\$0.80), while net assets per Share was approximately US\$0.26 (2023: approximately US\$0.02).
In recent years, the LPTV market in the United States has undergone significant transformation, driven by the digital switchover, emerging technologies, and evolving regulatory frameworks. These developments have created new opportunities for creativity and collaboration. The Group has actively partnered with local content providers and fellow broadcasters, establishing strong relationships that enrich its programming offerings.
As audiences increasingly shift from traditional TV sets to smartphones, there is a growing demand for digital TV programming that emphasizes interactivity and engagement. This evolution presents an opportunity to enhance the viewing experience, making it more immersive and dynamic. The Group is well positioned to capitalise on this trend, believing that delivery high-quality digital content will not only attract new viewers but also foster loyalty among existing audiences.
The Group is committed to leveraging its core CMMB-based broadcasting technology to develop a horizontally diversified, next-generation data platform that integrates media, communications, and data-driven services. This development represents a pivotal step toward transforming its satellite broadcasting capabilities into a comprehensive data distribution and analytics ecosystem that supports cross-industry applications and digital innovation. At the same time, the Group will integrate this data platform initiative with its trading operations to foster synergistic growth across the technology and digital sectors. This interconnected approach will enhance value creation, strengthen market adaptability, and position the Group at the forefront of the evolving digital economy.

APPENDIX II UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
Notes:
-
- The unaudited consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to the owners of the Company as at 30 June 2025 is extracted from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial results of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2025, which is based on the consolidated net assets attributable to the owners of the Company as at 30 June 2025 of approximately US\$18,863,000 with an adjustment for the intangible assets attributable to the owners of the Company as at 30 June 2025 of approximately US\$15,002,000.
-
- The estimated net proceeds from the Rights Issue are based on 359,821,602 Rights Shares (assuming full subscription under the Right Issue and no change in the number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date) at the Subscription Price of HK\$0.455 per Rights Share after deduction of the estimated professional fees and other related expenses payable by the Company.
-
- The unaudited consolidated net tangible assets per Share as at 30 June 2025 is calculated on the basis that 95,319,494 Shares were in issue on 30 June 2025, without taking into account the effect of the Rights Issue.
-

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANT'S ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
To the Directors of Silkwave Inc.
We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of unaudited pro forma financial information of Silkwave Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Group") by the directors of the Company (the "Directors") for illustrative purposes only. The unaudited pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma statement of adjusted consolidated net tangible assets of the Group as at 30 June 2025, and related notes (the "Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information") as set out on pages II-1 to II-2 of the Company's circular dated 31 December 2025 (the "Circular"), in connection with the rights issue on the basis of three (3) rights shares for every one (1) share held on the record date (the "Transaction"). The applicable criteria on the basis of which the Directors have compiled the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information are described on pages II-1 to II-2 of the Circular.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the Transaction on the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2025 as if the Transaction had taken place at 30 June 2025. As part of this process, information about the unaudited consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to the owners of the Company as at 30 June 2025 has been extracted by the Directors from the Group's unaudited consolidated financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2025, on which no audit or review report has been published.
Directors' Responsibility for the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The Directors are responsible for compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules") and with reference to Accounting Guideline 7, Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars ("AG 7") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA").
Our Independence and Quality Management
We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the HKICPA, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.
Our firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Management (HKSQM) 1, Quality Management for Firms that Perform Audits or Reviews of Financial Statements, or Other Assurance or Related Services Engagements, issued by the HKICPA, which requires the firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
{74}------------------------------------------------
Reporting Accountant's Responsibilities
Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.
We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3420, Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus, issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountant plans and performs procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Directors have compiled the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules and with reference to AG 7 issued by the HKICPA.
For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.
The purpose of Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information included in a circular is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the entity as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the Transaction at 30 June 2025 would have been as presented.
A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the Directors in the compilation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:
- The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and
- The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.
The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant's judgment, having regard to the reporting accountant's understanding of the nature of the Company, the event or transaction in respect of which the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.
{75}------------------------------------------------
APPENDIX II UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the Unaudited Pro Forma
Financial Information.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion.
