LETTER FROM THE BOARD

On 4 April 2007, PAX, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company entered into the Subscription Agreement with the Subscriber in relation to the subscription by the Subscriber of the PAX Preference Shares at a total subscription price of US$10 million (equivalent to approximately HK$78.1 million). The PAX Preference Shares represent 25% of the existing issued share capital of PAX and 20% of the issued share capital of PAX as enlarged by the Subscription. The total subscription price of US$10 million (equivalent to approximately HK$78.1 million) was determined after arm’s length negotiations by the parties after taking into consideration the financial position, the historical financial performance and the business prospect of PAX. Based on the subscription price of US$10 million (equivalent to approximately HK$78.1 million), the subscription price represents a premium of approximately 188% over the 20% attributable interest of the PAX Preference Shares (on an “as converted” basis) in the unaudited net assets of PAX as at 30 June 2006, as adjusted for the subscription price of US$10 million (equivalent to approximately HK$78.1 million).

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with further details of the Subscription Agreement together with a notice convening the SGM at which an ordinary resolution will be proposed for the approval of the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

THE TERMINATION AGREEMENT

The Company, Keen Ambition and Mr. Mo Ying San (as guarantor of the obligations of Keen Ambition under the PAX Disposal Agreement) entered into the Termination Agreement on 4 April 2007 pursuant to which the Company, Keen Ambition and Mr. Mo Ying San irrevocably and unconditionally agreed to terminate the PAX Disposal Agreement in consideration of the return of the deposit of HK$5,000,000 by the Company to Keen Ambition.

As a result of the signing of the Termination Agreement, the proposed disposal of the entire interest in PAX to Keen Ambition by the Company, details of which are set out in the circular of the Company dated 27 November 2006, will not proceed. The Directors consider that the termination of the PAX Disposal Agreement will not have any material adverse impact on the financial position and operation of the Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

If the audited consolidated net profit after taxation of PAX for the year ending 31 December 2007 (“2007 Actual Profit”) is less than US$7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$54.7 million), the Company shall transfer to the Subscriber an aggregate of up to 5% of the issued share capital of PAX as enlarged by the Subscription (the “PAX Adjustment”), for a nominal consideration of HK$1, in accordance with the following provision:
Additional PAX
Ordinary Shares
to be transferred
2007 Actual Profit to the Subscriber
Less than US$6,200,000 5%
US$6,200,000 or more but
less than US$6,400,000 4%
US$6,400,000 or more but
less than US$6,600,000 3%
US$6,600,000 or more but

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION ON THE GROUP

The Directors are of the view that under the current Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards:

  • (i) Upon Completion, no gain or loss will be recorded. Instead, the consideration of the Subscription will be split between and initially recognised as financial liability and equity components separately in the consolidated balance sheet of the Group on the date of Completion. The financial liability component is recognized initially at its fair value plus, in the case of such financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial liability. After initial recognition, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, including derivatives that are liabilities, shall be measured at fair value. Expenses on such liability components will be charged to the consolidated profit and loss account of the Group.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (ii) Should the Subscriber exercises the Conversion in full, upon completion of the Conversion, a gain or loss on deemed disposal may arise, which will be calculated with reference to the Company’s interest in PAX based on the then audited net asset value of PAX as compared to the Subscription Price.

Shareholders should note that the calculation of gain or loss upon Conversion is subject to review by the Company’s auditors at the time of the Conversion, if it does occur.

Following Completion, the Company’s interest in the issued ordinary share capital of PAX will (i) remain as 100%, if the PAX Adjustment does not occur; or (ii) reduce from 100% to not less than 95% if the PAX Adjustment occurs to the fullest extent. Assuming the Subscriber exercises the Conversion in full, upon completion of the Conversion, the Company’s interest in the issued ordinary share capital of PAX will be reduced from 100% to 80%, or in case of the PAX Adjustment, to not less than 75%. Upon Completion, irrespective of the Conversion and the PAX Adjustment, PAX will remain as a subsidiary of the Company.

INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

The Group is principally engaged in the sales of information technology products and the provision of information system consultancy and integration services, and information technology operation value-added services.

INFORMATION ON THE SUBSCRIBER

The Subscriber, Digital Investment Limited, is an investment company incorporated in Samoa with limited liability and is wholly-owned by Hao Capital.

To the Directors’ best knowledge, information and belief having made reasonable enquiries, save for (i) HTSS ET Capital Limited, a company wholly-owned by Hao Capital, is a subscriber of 380,389 preference shares in Emerging Technology, a subsidiary of the Company, representing 4.5% of the issued share capital of Emerging Technology on an “as converted” basis (details of which are set out in the announcement of the Company dated 25 August 2006 and the circular of the Company dated 8 September 2006); and (ii) Ms. Elaine Wong, a director of Emerging Technology, who holds an equity interest, direct and indirect, of approximately 0.2% in Hao Capital, each of the Subscriber and its ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of the Company and connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company.

REASON FOR THE TERMINATION AGREEMENT

Under the PAX Disposal Agreement, the Group will receive cash consideration of HK$200 million for the disposal of its entire interest in PAX, effectively valuing a 100% of PAX at HK$200 million. On the other hand, under the Subscription Agreement, the Group will receive cash consideration of US$10 million (equivalent to approximately HK$78.1 million) for the issuance of PAX Preference Shares representing 20% or a maximum of 25% of the issued share capital of PAX as enlarged by the Subscription under certain circumstances as described above in further details, effectively valuing a 100% of PAX at between US$40 million (equivalent to approximately HK$312.4 million) and US$50 million (equivalent to approximately HK$390.5 million).

Given the substantially higher valuation of PAX given by the Subscriber as compared to the valuation of PAX under the PAX Disposal Agreement and considering the fact that the Group will retain a minimum of 75% interest in PAX under the Subscription Agreement, the Directors are of the view that it is in the interest of the Company to terminate the PAX Disposal Agreement and enter into the Subscription Agreement.

REASON FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION AND PROPOSED USE OF PROCEEDS

The Directors consider the terms of the Subscription Agreement, which were negotiated on an arm’s length basis between the parties involved, fair and reasonable. The Directors also consider that the Subscription will provide additional working capital to PAX for its business operation and is in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole. The proceeds from the Subscription will be used for general working capital of PAX.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Assuming the Subscriber exercises the Conversion in full, upon completion of the Conversion, the Company’s interest in the issued ordinary share capital of PAX will be reduced from 100% to 80%. The Company is required, under certain circumstances (as described in the paragraph headed “Shareholders’ Agreement” in the section headed “The Subscription Agreement” above), to transfer to the Subscriber up to 5% of the issued share capital of PAX as enlarged by the Subscription. Under such scenario and assuming Conversion in full, the Company’s interest in the issued ordinary share capital of PAX will be reduced from 100% to not less than 75%.

Accordingly, the Subscription will then constitute a possible material dilution of the Company’s interest in PAX pursuant to Rule 13.36(1) of the Listing Rules and the Subscription Agreement is subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the SGM. As advised by Hao Capital, as at the Latest Practicable Date, its principals (that is, the general partners that control the voting power of Hao Capital) control voting rights over a total of 3,933,928 Shares, representing approximately 0.2% of the existing issued share capital of the Company. The principals of Hao Capital have undertaken to the Company that the Shares held by them will not be voted on the resolution to approve the Subscription at the SGM. The Subscription also constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company pursuant to Rule 14.06(2) of the Listing Rules.

SGM

Set out on pages 18 to 19 of this circular is a notice convening the SGM to be held at Room 2416, 24th Floor, Sun Hung Kai Centre, 30 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong on Tuesday, 15 May 2007 at 10:00 a.m. for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing the resolution to approve the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

A form of proxy is herewith enclosed for use at the SGM. If you are not able to attend the meeting, please complete and return the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as possible to the principal place of business of the Company at Room 2416, 24th Floor, Sun Hung Kai Centre, 30 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the SGM or any adjourned meeting (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the SGM or any adjourned meeting should you so wish.

PROCEDURES FOR DEMANDING A POLL AT GENERAL MEETING

Pursuant to Bye-Law 66 of the bye-laws of the Company, a resolution put to the vote of a general meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless voting by way of a poll is required by the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange (as defined in the bye-laws of the Company) or (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 by: (i) the chairman of the meeting; or (ii) at least three members present in person (or in the case of a member

A demand by a person as proxy for a member or in the case of a member being a corporation by its duly authorized representative shall be deemed to be the same as a demand by a member.
