To the Shareholders
Dear Sir/Madam,
PROPOSED SHARE PREMIUM REDUCTION AND
SUBDIVISION OF SHARES AND CHANGE OF BOARD LOT SIZE
INTRODUCTION
The Board announced on 24 May 2006 that it intends to put forward to the Shareholders for approval on the proposals relating to the Share Premium Reduction, Share Subdivision and change of board lot size. The purpose of this circular are to provide you with information regarding the resolutions to be proposed at the SGM in relation to the Share Premium Reduction and the Share Subdivision.
- For identification purpose only
– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
I. SHARE PREMIUM REDUCTION
The Board proposes to cancel the entire amount standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company as at 31 December 2005. As at 31 December 2005, the amount standing to the credit of the share premium account and accumulated losses of the Company amounted to HK$100,556,000 and HK$57,431,000 respectively. It is proposed that part of the credit arising from the share premium account of the Company in the sum of HK$57,431,000 will be used to offset the accumulated losses in full and the remaining balance of the credit arising from the Share Premium Reduction in the sum of HK$43,125,000 will be transferred to the contributed surplus account of the Company. As a result, the amount standing to the credit of the contributed surplus account of the Company will increase from HK$3,293,000 to HK$46,418,000.
The Share Premium Reduction is subject to the conditions set out in the paragraph headed “Conditions of the Share Premium Reduction” below.
Reasons for the Share Premium Reduction
As at 31 December 2005, the Company’s audited financial statements showed that the Company had accumulated losses of HK$57,431,000. The Board proposes that, subject to the conditions set out below, the entire amount standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company be cancelled and part of the credit arising therefrom be used to offset against the accumulated losses in full.
Assuming the Share Premium Reduction becomes effective and the accumulated losses are set off in full, the Company would then have no accumulated losses carry forward and would be able to declare dividends to the Shareholders at an earliest opportunity in the future as and when the Board considers appropriate. The remaining balance of the credit arising from the Share Premium Reduction being transferred to the contributed surplus account of the Company also enables the Directors to make a distribution to Shareholders out of the contributed surplus account as and when they consider it appropriate to do so. The Directors do not have present intention to use any funds in the contributed surplus account or to make distribution to its Shareholders.
Effect of the Share Premium Reduction
Save for the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Share Premium Reduction, the Board considers that the implementation of the Share Premium Reduction will not, in itself, alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportionate interests of the Shareholders in the underlying assets of the Company. The Board considers that the Share Premium Reduction is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Conditions of the Share Premium Reduction
The Share Premium Reduction is conditional upon:
-
(a) the passing of a special resolution to approve the Share Premium Reduction at the SGM; and
-
(b) the publication of a notice in relation to the Share Premium Reduction in Bermuda in accordance with the requirement of the Companies Act.
The conditions cannot be waived. Assuming the above conditions are fulfilled, it is expected that the Share Premium Reduction will become effective on the date of passing the relevant resolution to approve the Share Premium Reduction.
II. SUBDIVISION OF SHARES AND CHANGE OF BOARD LOT SIZE
By an announcement dated 24 May 2006, the Board announced that the Company would put to its Shareholders a proposal that each of the existing issued and unissued Shares of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company be subdivided into four shares of HK$0.0025 each. The Share Subdivision will become effective upon the fulfillment of the conditions set out below. The Shares are currently traded in board lots of 1,000 Shares. Upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the Subdivided Shares will be traded in board lots of 3,000 Subdivided Shares. The change of board lot size will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.
The Board believes that the Share Subdivision will improve the liquidity in trading of the Shares, thereby enabling the Company to attract more investors and widen the Company’s shareholder base. Given the prevailing market conditions, a more liquid market will provide more flexibility for the investors to buy and sell the shares of the Company. Accordingly, the Board considers the Share Subdivision to be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders.
Save for the costs to be incurred by the Company in implementing the Share Subdivision, the Share Subdivision will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportional interests of the Shareholders. The Board considers that the Share Subdivision will not have any adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Shareholding Structure
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorized share capital of the Company is HK$10,000,000, divided into 1,000,000,000 Shares, of which 409,054,030 Shares are in issue and fully paid. Assuming that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and prior to the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the effect of the Share Subdivision is set out as follows:
Prior to the After the Share Subdivision Share Subdivision
| Par Value of each share | HK$0.01 | HK$0.0025 |
|---|---|---|
| Number of authorized shares | 1,000,000,000 | 4,000,000,000 |
| Authorized share capital | HK$10,000,000 | HK$10,000,000 |

| Unissued share capital | HK$5,909,459.70 | HK$5,909,459.70 |
The Subdivided Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other and the Share Subdivision will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.
Conditions of the Share Subdivision
The Share Subdivision is conditional upon:
-
(a) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the SGM; and
-
(b) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of and permission to deal in the Subdivided Shares.
III. ADJUSTMENTS TO SHARE OPTIONS AND CONVERTIBLE PREFERENCE SHARES
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are outstanding share options granted under the Share Option Scheme to subscribe for 56,300,000 Shares. The Share Subdivision will lead to an adjustment to the exercise price of the outstanding options and the number of Shares to be issued by the Company upon exercise of the outstanding options. For share options with exercise period between 18 March 2004 to 17 March 2014, the number of shares to be issued by the Company upon full exercise of such options will be increased from 23,000,000 Shares to 92,000,000 Subdivided Shares and the subscription price will be adjusted from HK$0.374 per Share to HK$0.0935 per Subdivided Share. For share options with exercise period between 26 September 2005 to 25 September 2015, the number of shares to be issued by the Company upon full exercise of such options will be increased from 33,300,000 Shares to 133,200,000 Subdivided Shares and the subscription price will be adjusted from HK$0.768 per Share to HK$0.192 per Subdivided Share. The calculation of the adjustments has been reviewed and confirmed by the Company’s auditor pursuant to rule 17.03(13) of the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Turbo Speed, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company has entered into the Subscription Agreement on 9 November 2004 with the subscribers in relation to a subscription of convertible preference shares of Turbo Speed. The convertible preference shares have been issued and allotted to the subscribers on 29 April 2005. Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement, the convertible preference shares may be converted into the Shares upon the exercise of the convertible rights attached thereto. As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 26,000,000 Shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of the conversion rights in full at a conversion price of HK$1.2 per Share (subject to adjustment). The Share Subdivision will lead to an adjustment to the conversion price of the convertible preference shares and the number of Shares to be issued by the Company upon full conversion of the convertible preference shares. The number of shares to be issued by the Company upon full conversion of the convertible preference shares will be increased from 26,000,000 Shares to 104,000,000 Subdivided Shares and the conversion price will be adjusted from HK$1.2 per Share to HK$0.30 per Subdivided Share.
IV. LISTING AND DEALING
An application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of and permission to deal in the Subdivided Shares arising from the Share Subdivision.
Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subdivided Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Subdivided Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the Subdivided Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as may be determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second trading day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.
For those persons whose interests in the Company are currently held through CCASS, dealings in the Subdivided Shares are expected to be capable of settlement through CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the Subdivided Shares on the Stock Exchange and without any need on the part of such persons to deposit new share certificates in respect of the Subdivided Shares with HKSCC.
V. FREE EXCHANGE OF SHARE CERTIFICATES
Subject to fulfillment of the conditions set out above and the Share Subdivision taking effect, it is expected that as from 29 June 2006, New Share Certificates will be issued in board lots of 3,000 Subdivided Shares. The Existing Share Certificates will only be valid for delivery, trading and settlement purposes for the period up to 4:00 p.m. on 3 August 2006 and thereafter will not be accepted for delivery, trading and settlement purposes. However, the Existing Share Certificates will continue to be good evidence of legal title to the Subdivided Shares on the basis of one Share for four Subdivided Shares and may be exchanged free of charge for the New Share Certificates for Subdivided Shares upon submission of the Existing Share Certificates to Tengis Limited at 26th Floor, Tesbury
