Dear Sir or Madam,
CHANGE OF AUDITORS
CHANGE OF AUDITORS
The directors (the “Directors”) of Jackin International Holdings Limited (the “Company”) proposed to change the auditors of the Company as the Company and Messrs. Grant Thornton (“Grant Thornton”), the auditors of the Company, could not reach an agreement on the audit fees for the financial year ended 31 December 2005.
Grant Thornton were re-appointed as auditors of the Company at the last annual general meeting of the Company held on 25 June 2005 to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company. The Company received a notice of resignation from Grant Thornton in respect of their resignation as auditors of the Company and its subsidiaries with effect

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
from 3 February 2006. In accordance with the Bye-laws of the Company, if the office of auditors becomes vacant by the resignation of the auditors, the Directors shall as soon as practicable convene a special general meeting to fill the vacancy.
In the notice of resignation, Grant Thornton have confirmed that there are no circumstances connected with their resignation which they consider should be brought to the attention of the members or creditors of the Company or its subsidiaries. To the best knowledge of the Directors, there are also no circumstances in respect of the change of auditors which they consider should be brought to the attention of the shareholders of the Company.
The Directors propose to appoint Messrs. Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (“DTT”) as auditors of the Company to fill the vacancy and to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company. The appointment of DTT in place of Grant Thornton is subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company at the special general meeting of the Company to be convened. Grant Thornton have not yet commenced the audit for the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2005. It is expected that the change of auditors of the Company will not affect the audit and the release of annual results of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2005.
An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the special general meeting of the Company to approve the proposed change of auditors of the Company. None of the shareholders of the Company are required to abstain from voting at the special general meeting of the Company. The special general meeting of the Company is to be held at Conference Room, Unit 8, 10th Floor, Riley House, 88 Lei Muk Road, Kwai Chung, New Territories, Hong Kong on Wednesday, 12 April 2006 at 10:00 a.m.. The notice of the special general meeting is set out herein. A form of proxy for use at the special general meeting is enclosed.
RIGHT TO DEMAND POLL
Shareholders may wish to note that, under Bye-law 66, a resolution put to the vote of a meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands or on the withdrawal of any other demand for a poll) a poll is demanded:–
-
(i) by the chairman of such meeting; or
-
(ii) by at least three members present in person or in the case of a member being a corporation by its duly authorized representative or by proxy for the time being entitled to vote at the meeting; or

ACTION TO BE TAKEN
Whether or not you intend to attend and vote at the special general meeting, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed form of proxy to the Company’s principal place of business in Hong Kong at Unit 8, 10th Floor, Riley House, 88 Lei Muk Road, Kwai Chung, New Territories, Hong Kong in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the special general meeting or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the special general meeting or any adjournment thereof should you so wish.

Details of those members who may demand a poll are set out on pages 2 to 3 of this circular.
RECOMMENDATION
The Directors are of the opinion that the nomination and appointment of DTT as auditors of the Company is in the best interests of the Company and recommend you to vote in favour of the resolution to be proposed at the special general meeting of the Company.
Yours faithfully, By Order of the Board Ho Yin King, Helena Chairman
