Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED CHANGE OF AUDITORS
INTRODUCTION
On 14 March 2006, the board of directors (the “Board”) announced the proposal for the change of auditors.
The purposes of this circular are to provide the shareholders of the Company with (i) further information on the proposed change of auditors and (ii) the notice of the special general meeting (“SGM”) has been convened and is to be held on 17 July 2006 for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving the necessary resolution for the change of auditors.
PROPOSED CHANGE OF AUDITORS
As no consensus could be reached between the Company and its auditors, Ernst & Young Certified Public Accountants (“Ernst & Young”), with regard to the audit fees, the Company proposed to appoint HLB Hodgson Impey Cheng Certified Public Accountants (“HLB”) as the Company’s auditors for the financial year ended 31 March 2006 to fill the vacancy following the resignation of Ernst & Young on 10 March 2006 and to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company. Such appointment shall be considered and, if appropriate, approved by the shareholders at the SGM.
