LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REFRESHMENT OF THE EXISTING GENERAL MANDATE

Existing General Mandate

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 18 July 2009, the Shareholders approved, among other things, an ordinary resolution to grant to the Directors the Existing General Mandate to issue, allot and deal with up to 204,607,363 Shares, which is equivalent to 20% of the then issued share capital of the Company.

As announced by the Company on 28 August 2009 (the “Subscription Announcement”), the Company has entered into a subscription agreement dated 28 August 2009 with Mr. Xie Song Guang (the “Subscriber”), pursuant to which the Company issued to the Subscriber the Convertible Notes at the principal amount of HK$50,000,000. The net proceeds from the subscription of the Convertible Notes of approximately HK$49,800,000 were intended to be used for (i) repayment of certain bank loans and other borrowings of the Group; (ii) general working capital; and (iii) business development. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group had utilised approximately HK$40,000,000 for repayment of certain bank and other borrowings of the Group, as to approximately HK$5,000,000 for general working capital and as to approximately HK$2,000,000 for business development. The Group will apply the remaining approximately HK$3,000,000 for business development.

Assuming the conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Notes are exercised in full at the initial conversion price of HK$0.25 per conversion share, a total of 200,000,000 new Shares will fall to be issued to the Subscriber under the Existing General Mandate, representing approximately 97.75% of the Existing General Mandate. As at the Latest Practicable Date, pursuant to the Existing General Mandate, the Company will only be able to further issue, allot and deal with up to 4,607,363 Shares, representing approximately 2.25% of the Existing General Mandate.

Reasons for and benefits of the proposed grant of the New General Mandate

The Group is principally engaged in the operations of remanufactured/recycled toner cartridge production, computer media production and media products distribution businesses and related businesses and activities with its major markets in the U.S., Europe and Asia Pacific. As stated in the Subscription Announcement, it is the Group’s strategy to expand through mergers and acquisitions in addition to organic growth of its existing business and the Group was exploring a few investment opportunities. On 9 November 2009, the Company further announced that the Company has entered into a non-legally binding agreement on 3 November 2009 (as supplemented on 8 November 2009) with two parties regarding a possible acquisition (the “Possible Acquisition”) of the rights and interests together with the obligations under a sale and purchase agreement in relation to the acquisition of a 65% shareholding interest in a company holding mining resources in the U.S.. The Possible Acquisition is subject to, among other things, the signing of a formal agreement. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company was still enquiring on the Possible Acquisition and negotiating with the vendors on the terms of the formal agreement.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company has been exploring other investment opportunities in addition to the Possible Acquisition, and the Company will continue seeking for further opportunities. Although there is no certainty that any of the aforesaid investment opportunities (including the Possible Acquisition) will materialise, the Directors propose to seek the Independent Shareholders’ approval to grant the New General Mandate which will provide them with the flexibility necessary to raise capital by issue of new Shares in a timely manner to capture fund raising opportunities when the equity market is active. If the New General Mandate is granted and new capital is raised by utilising the New General Mandate, the Directors intend to first apply the proceeds to fund the expenses incurred/to be incurred from seeking for and enquiring on investment opportunities and for general working capital purposes and apply the remaining proceeds to fund future investments should any suitable opportunities arise. The Group currently does not have any concrete plan in respect of the utilisation of the New General Mandate and the proceeds that may arise therefrom, the Company will provide the Shareholders with details of the specific use of proceeds upon issue of new Shares under the New General Mandate.

In view of the above, the Directors consider that the proposed grant of the New General Mandate is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The New General Mandate

The Board proposes to grant the New General Mandate to allow the Directors to issue, allot or otherwise deal with new Shares not exceeding 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the SGM.

Based on the 1,055,737,495 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that no further Shares are issued and/or repurchased by the Company prior to the SGM, subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution to approve the New General Mandate at the SGM, the Directors will be authorised to allot, issue or otherwise deal with a maximum of 211,147,499 Shares under the New General Mandate, representing 20% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The New General Mandate will, if granted, remain effective until the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by Bermuda law or the Bye-Laws; and (iii) the revocation or variation of the New General Mandate by the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders in general meeting.

LETTER FROM VEDA CAPITAL

The Independent Board Committee (comprising all the independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Leung Ka Kui, Johnny, Mr. Chan Kam Kwan, Jason and Mr. Lo Kok Kee) has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders in respect of the grant of the New General Mandate.

BASIS OF OUR ADVICE

In formulating our opinion to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders, we have relied on the statements, information, opinions and representations contained in the Circular and the information and representations provided to us by the Company, the Directors and management of the Company. We have no reason to believe that any information and representations relied on by us in forming our opinion is untrue, inaccurate or misleading, nor are we aware of any material facts the omission of which would render the information provided and the representations made to us untrue, inaccurate or misleading. We have assumed that all information, representations and opinions contained or referred to in the Circular, which have been provided by the Company, the Directors and management of the Company and for which they are solely and wholly responsible, were true and accurate at the time when they were made and continue to be true at the date of the SGM.

The Directors have collectively and individually accepted full responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in the Circular and have confirmed, having made all reasonable enquiries, to the best of their knowledge and belief, there are no other facts the omission of which would make any statement in the Circular misleading. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view and to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. We have not, however, conducted any independent in-depth investigation into the business and affairs of the Company, or its subsidiaries or associated companies.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion in respect of the New General Mandate, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

Background of and reasons for the refreshment of the Existing General Mandate

The Group is principally engaged in the operations of remanufactured/recycled toner cartridge production, computer media production and media products distribution businesses and related businesses and activities with its major markets in U.S., Europe and Asia Pacific.

– 11 –

LETTER FROM VEDA CAPITAL

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 18 July 2009, the Existing General Mandate was approved by the Shareholders and the Directors were granted, among others, the rights to allot and issue up to 204,607,363 Shares. As set out in the Subscription Announcement, the Company has entered into a subscription agreement on 28 August 2009, pursuant to which the Company has conditionally agreed to issue the Convertible Notes at the aggregate principal amount of HK$50 million to the Subscriber (the “ Subscription ”). Assuming the conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Notes are exercised in full at the initial conversion price of HK$0.25 per Share, 200,000,000 new Shares will fall to be issued, representing approximately 97.75% of the Existing General Mandate.

As stated in the Subscription Announcement, it is the Group’s strategy to expand through mergers and acquisitions in addition to organic growth of its existing business and the Group was exploring a few investment opportunities. On 9 November 2009, the Company further announced that the Company has entered into a non-legally binding agreement on 3 November 2009 (as supplemented on 8 November 2009) regarding the Possible Acquisition, which is subject to, among others, the signing of a formal agreement. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company was still enquiring on the Possible Acquisition and negotiating with the vendors on the terms of the formal agreement.

As set out in the Board Letter, the Company has been exploring other investment opportunities in addition to the Possible Acquisition, and the Company will continue seeking for further opportunities. Although there is no certainty that any of the aforesaid investment opportunities (including the Possible Acquisition) will materialise, the Directors propose to seek the Independent Shareholders’ approval to grant the New General Mandate which will provide them with the flexibility necessary to raise capital by issue of new Shares in a timely manner to capture fund raising opportunities when the equity market is active. If the New General Mandate is granted and new capital is raised by utilising the New General Mandate, the Directors intends to first apply the proceeds to fund the expenses incurred/to be incurred from seeking for and enquiring on investment opportunities and for general working capital purpose and apply the remaining proceeds to fund future investments should any suitable opportunities arise. The Group currently does not have any concrete plan in respect of the utilisation of the New General Mandate and the proceeds that may arise therefrom, the Company will provide the Shareholders with details of the specific use of proceeds upon issue of new Shares under the New General Mandate. In view of the above, the Directors consider that the proposed grant of the New General Mandate is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM VEDA CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 1,055,737,495 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution for approving the New General Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued and/or repurchased by the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the SGM, the Company would be allowed under the New General Mandate to allot and issue up to 211,147,499 new Shares, representing 20% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

We noted from the Company’s interim report 2009 (the “ IR 2009 ”), the Group has recorded cash and cash equivalents of approximately HK$39.47 million as at 30 June 2009 and bank and other borrowings under current liabilities of approximately HK$93.08 million as at 30 June 2009. As advised by the Directors, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group had utilised (i) approximately HK$40 million for repayment of certain bank and other borrowings of the Group; (ii) approximately HK$5 million for general working capital; and (iii) approximately HK$2 million for business development, and the Group intend to apply the remaining HK$3 million for business development.

Having taken into account that (i) the Existing General Mandate will almost be fully utilized upon the conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Notes are exercised in full; (ii) the liquidity position of the Group with cash and cash equivalents of approximately HK$39.47 million and bank and other borrowings under current liabilities of approximately HK$93.08 million as at 30 June 2009 notwithstanding the Company has utilised the net proceeds of approximately HK$40 million from the Subscription for repayment of certain bank and other borrowings of the Group; (iii) the net proceeds from the Subscription has mostly been utilised; and (iv) the Company has been exploring investment opportunities, we are of the view that the proposed grant of the New General Mandate will provide a financial flexibility to the Company to raise capital in a timely manner in the equity market by obtaining a pre-shareholders’ approval and hence the fund raising exercise will not be procrastinated by the shareholders’ approval procedure when suitable opportunities arise. In addition, we also consider there is no certainty that existing cash and facility resources will be adequate for any appropriate investment that may be identified by the Company in the future in particular the Company has been seeking for potential investment opportunities, additional funding may still be needed in a timely manner when necessary for financing future investments should suitable investment opportunities arise. As such, we consider the terms of the New General Mandate are fair and reasonable and the proposed grant of the New General Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM VEDA CAPITAL

Other financing alternatives

As debt financing may incur interest burden to the Group, the Directors consider that equity financing such as issuance of new Shares for cash or equity swaps may be appropriate means to fund the potential investments and/or acquisitions and provide additional working capital for the future development and expansion of the Group, given the Group’s financial position, capital structure, cost of funding and the then financial market condition. The Directors will also consider other financing methods such as debt financing or internal cash resources to fund future business development of the Company, if appropriate, after taking into consideration the then financial position, capital structure and cost of funding of the Group as well as the then market condition.

We consider that the proposed grant of the New General Mandate will provide the Company with an additional alternative and it is reasonable for the Company to have the flexibility in deciding the financing methods for its future development, including equity issuance. As such, we are of the view that the proposed grant of the New General Mandate will be in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Potential dilution to shareholdings of the Independent Shareholders

Set out below is a table showing the shareholdings of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and, for illustrative purpose, the potential dilution effect on the shareholdings upon full utilisation of the New General Mandate assuming no Shares are issued or repurchased during the period between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the SGM:

LETTER FROM VEDA CAPITAL

Notes:

  1. Sun Union is wholly owned by Complete Associates Limited, which is in turn beneficially owned as to approximately 61.8% and approximately 38.2% by Ms. Ho and Mr. Ho respectively.

  2. An independent non-executive Director.

  3. An executive Director

As illustrated in the table above, the existing aggregate shareholding of the public Shareholders will decrease from 77.44% as at the Latest Practicable Date to approximately 64.53% upon full utilisation of the New General Mandate, assuming no Shares are issued or repurchased during the period between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the SGM. Taking into account that (i) the New General Mandate will provide an alternative to increase the amount of capital which may be raised under issuance of the new Shares under the New General Mandate; (ii) the New General Mandate will provide more options of financing to the Group for further development of its business as well as in other potential future investment and/or acquisitions as and when such opportunities arise; and (iii) the fact that the shareholdings of all Shareholders will be diluted proportionately to their respective shareholding upon any utilization of the New General Mandate, we consider such dilution or potential dilution to shareholdings of the Independent Shareholders to be justifiable.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the factors and reasons as stated above, we are of the view that the New General Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and is fair and reasonable. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Shareholders and advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution in relation to the New General Mandate to be proposed at the SGM. Independent Shareholders are however advised to take note of the possible dilution effect on their shareholding interests in the Company when and if the New General Mandate is utilised.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of

Veda Capital Limited

Hans Wong Julisa Fong Managing Director Executive Director
