LETTER FROM THE BOARD

On the same date, the Company also entered into the Subscription Agreement with Rich Place, pursuant to which the Company has conditionally agreed to issue to Rich Place or its nominee the Subscription Notes at the principal amount of the Subscription Notes of up to HK$148,000,000. Rich Place is required to subscribe for the Subscription Notes equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Placing Notes at each Tranche.

Rich Place, the controlling Shareholder, is interested in approximately 50.22% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, and is therefore a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the transactions contemplated under the Subscription Agreement, including the issue of the Conversion Shares upon exercise of the conversion rights attached to the Subscription Notes, constitute a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The issue of the Placing Notes and the Subscription Notes and the issue of the Conversion Shares upon exercise of the conversion rights attached to the Placing Notes and the Subscription Notes as contemplated under the Placing Agreement and the Subscription Agreement are subject to, among other things, the approval of the Independent Shareholders by way of a poll at the EGM of the Company where Rich Place and its associates will be required to abstain from voting.

To facilitate the issue of the Conversion Shares, the Company also proposed to increase the authorised share capital of the Company from HK$20,000,000 comprising 200,000,000 Shares to HK$100,000,000 comprising 1,000,000,000 Shares.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, (i) details of the Placing Agreement and the Placing Notes; (ii) details of the Subscription Agreement and the Subscription Notes; (iii) details of the increase in authorised share capital; (iv) a letter of recommendation from the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders; (v) a letter of advice from Taifook to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders on the Subscription Agreement and the Subscription Notes; and (vi) the notice of the EGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Securities to be placed

Subject to fulfilment of the conditions precedent to the Placing Agreement, the Placing Agent agrees to procure, during the Placing Period on a best effort basis, the Subscribers to subscribe for up to HK$148,000,000 principal amount of the Placing Notes. The Placing Agent will use all reasonable endeavours, exercise due care and make reasonable enquiries to ensure that the Subscribers and their ultimate beneficial owners are Independent Third Parties. The Placing Agent proposes to approach potential Subscribers only after Shareholders’ approval for the issue of the Placing Notes is obtained, which is when the Placing Period commences. The Company is therefore not in a position to ascertain now whether or not as a result of the issue and conversion of the Placing Notes to be placed in the future would result in any one person becoming a substantial Shareholder under the Listing Rules. If it comes to the notice of the Company on completion of the Placing that such circumstance will arise, the Company will make a further announcement in that regard.

Rich Place and its associate will abstain from voting on the resolutions to approve the issue of the Notes and the Conversion Shares.

If the above conditions precedent are not fulfilled on or before 31 October 2007 (or such later date as may be agreed between the Placing Agent and the Company), the Placing Agreement shall thereupon lapse and become null and void and the parties will be released from all obligations hereunder, save for any liability arising out of any antecedent breaches hereof.

  • Ranking: The Notes will rank pari passu with all other present and future unsecured and un-subordinated obligations of the Company.

  • Voting: A Noteholder will not be entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at any general meetings of the Company by reason only of it being a Noteholder.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE PLACING AND THE SUBSCRIPTION AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Group is principally engaged in a broad spectrum of construction works, including building construction, renovation and fitting out works for both public and private sectors in Hong Kong.

During the year ended 31 March 2007, the Group recorded audited turnover of approximately HK$64.4 million, representing a drop of approximately 57.8% from that of HK$152.7 million for the year ended 31 March 2006. The Directors are considering to seek for strategic partners to explore business opportunities to improve the Group’s prospects. Assuming a maximum principal amount of HK$296 million of the Notes are issued, the proceeds from the Placing and Subscription (after deduction of expenses) amount to approximately HK$287 million. The Directors intend that the proceeds will be used for future investment and general working capital purposes. The Company has been considering various investment opportunities in China. Nevertheless, as at the Latest Practicable Date, no definite agreement has been entered into with respect to any investment target.

The Directors consider that the Placing and the Subscription will strengthen the financial position of the Group and equip the Company with readily available funds to take up investment opportunities as and when they arise. The Directors also consider that the issue of the Placing Notes and the Subscription Notes provides a less costly way of financing for the Company. The Directors do not consider there is any material disadvantages of the Placing and Subscription for the Company.

Based on the above, the Directors consider that the Placing and the Subscription are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole and the terms of the Placing Agreement and the Subscription Agreement are fair and reasonable as far as the Shareholders are concerned.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES IN THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS

On 20 December 2006, 146,830,000 ordinary shares of HK$0.01 each were issued at a price of HK$0.041 each by way of a top-up placing. The net proceeds from the placing were approximately HK$5,900,000. These proceeds were intended to be used for general working capital of the Group and have been fully utilised to pay general operating and administrative expenses.

Save for the above, the Company has not conducted any other fund raising activities in the past twelve months before the date of the Announcement.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

LETTER FROM TAIFOOK

The following is the text of a letter from Taifook to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders regarding the terms of the Subscription Agreement (including the issue of the Subscription Notes), which is prepared for inclusion in this circular.

25th Floor New World Tower 16-18 Queen’s Road Central Hong Kong 3 September 2007

To the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders

Dear Sirs,

SUBSCRIPTION OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES CONSTITUTING A CONNECTED TRANSACTION

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders with respect to the terms of the Subscription Agreement and the Subscription Notes, details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the “Letter”) contained in the circular of the Company dated 3 September August 2007 (the “Circular”), of which this letter forms part. Terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as defined in the Circular unless the context otherwise requires.

As referred to in the Letter, on 16 August 2007, the Company entered into the Placing Agreement with the Placing Agent in relation to the placing by the Placing Agent, on a best effort basis, of the Placing Notes with principal amount up to HK$148,000,000 to the Subscribers. The Placing Agent will use reasonable endeavours, exercise due care and make reasonable enquiries to ensure that the Subscribers and their ultimate beneficial owners are Independent Third Parties. The Placing Notes may be issued in up to twelve Tranches during the Placing Period. Moreover, on 16 August 2007, the Company entered into the Subscription Agreement with Rich Place, pursuant to which, the Company has conditionally agreed to issue to Rich Place or its nominee the Subscription Notes at the principal amount of up to HK$148,000,000. Rich Place is required to subscribe for the Subscription Notes equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Placing Notes at each Tranche. The obligations of the parties in relation to the Placing of the Placing Notes under the Placing Agreement and completion of the Subscription Agreement are conditional on, among other things, the passing by the Shareholders (who are permitted to vote under the Listing Rules) of a resolution to approve the issue of the Notes and any Conversion Shares at the EGM. Completion of the issue of each Tranche of the Subscription Notes is conditional upon, among other things, the issue immediately before such completion of the Placing Notes in the same Tranche. The terms of the Subscription Notes are in all material aspects the same as the Placing Notes.

— 15 —

LETTER FROM TAIFOOK

As Rich Place is the controlling Shareholder of the Company holding approximately 50.22% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, it is a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the transactions contemplated under the Subscription Agreement, including the issue of the Conversion Shares upon exercise of the conversion rights attached to the Subscription Notes, will constitute a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The issue of the Subscription Notes and the issue of the Conversion Shares upon exercise of the conversion rights attached to the Subscription Notes as contemplated under the Subscription Agreement are subject to, among other things, the approval of the Independent Shareholders by way of a poll at an EGM of the Company where Rich Place and its associates will be required to abstain from voting.

In our capacity as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders, our role is to provide the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders with an independent opinion and recommendation as to whether the terms of the Subscription Agreement and the Subscription Notes are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and the entering into of the Subscription Agreement is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM TAIFOOK

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our recommendation in relation to the terms of the Subscription Agreement and the Subscription Notes, we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:

Information and background of the Group and reasons for the issue of the Subscription Notes

The Group is principally engaged in a broad spectrum of construction works, including building construction, renovation and fitting out works for both public and private sectors in Hong Kong.

As stated in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 March 2007, the Group recorded audited turnover of approximately HK$64.4 million, representing a decrease of approximately 57.8% as compared to that of last year, and loss attributable to equity holders of the Company of approximately HK$20.4 million which was approximately 36.0% less than that of last year, whereas the consolidated net assets attributable to equity holders of the Company decreased from approximately HK$126.2 million as at 31 March 2006 to approximately HK$112.5 million as at 31 March 2007. It is noted from the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 March 2007 that the Company’s auditors had issued a disclaimer of opinion on the financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2007 on the basis that there were significant uncertainty and limitation of audit scope relating to recoverability of accounts receivable, other receivable and arbitrations, and significant uncertainties relating to the going concern basis of the Group. As stated in the report of the auditors and the notes to the financial statements set out in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 March 2007, the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2007 were prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which depends upon the outcomes of the arbitrations and recoverability of accounts receivable and other receivable, and the successful outcome of the Group’s measures to satisfy its working capital needs and to improve its liquidity position.

It was further stated in the notes to the Company’s financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2007 that in order to maintain working capital of the Group, two of the major shareholders of the Company provided continual financial support to the Group in the form of shareholders’ loan of which approximately HK$33.7 million and HK$3.6 million of the loans had been made to the Group by Rich Place and Million Honest Limited respectively. Such loans from Rich Place and Million Honest Limited are unsecured, bear interest at prime rate minus 2% per annum and are repayable in October 2008. In the opinion of the Directors, in light of the continual financial support from these major shareholders, the Group would have sufficient financial resources to satisfy its working capital needs for the foreseeable future.

Assuming a maximum principal amount of HK$296 million of the Notes are issued, the net proceeds from the Placing and the Subscription would be approximately HK$287 million. As stated in the Letter, the Company intends to apply the aforesaid net proceeds from the Placing and Subscription for future investment and general working capital of the Group. The Company has been considering various investment opportunities in China. However, no definite agreement has been entered into with respect to any investment target as at the Latest Practicable Date.

— 17 —

LETTER FROM TAIFOOK

As further advised by the Directors, Rich Place, as the controlling shareholder of the Company, supports the decision of the Directors that the Company should continue its cost control policy while raising additional new capital for its future investment and developments, with a view to improving its assets base, liquidity position, capital structure and broaden its earnings base. The issue of the Subscription Notes, as a less costly way of financing, will enable the Company to obtain additional funding on top of the Placing Notes and allow the Company to negotiate for better and more attractive investment terms that may be taken up by the Company in the future.

In view of (i) completion of the issue of each Tranche of the Subscription Notes is conditional upon, among other things, the issue immediately before such completion of the Placing Notes in the same Tranche so as to allow Rich Place to top-up the proceeds to be received by the Company from the Placing (whether in small or substantial amount) by way of the Subscription which is considered to be beneficial to the Group as the terms of the Subscription Notes are substantially the same as that of the Placing Notes and are considered fair and reasonable as discussed below; and (ii) Rich Place has been the controlling shareholder of the Company before the entering into of the Placing Agreement and the Subscription Agreement and its past contribution and support to the Group was important to the operation of the Group, we consider that there is a strong commercial rationale to enter into the Subscription Agreement and the entering into of the Subscription Agreement is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

Alternative financing methods

In order to obtain funds for the Group to strengthen the financial position of the Group and equip the Company with readily available funds to take up investment opportunities as and when they arise as detailed in the paragraph headed “Information and background of the Group and reasons for the issue of the Subscription Notes” above, the Directors have considered various alternative means of financing.

Debt financing

Based on the published audited consolidated balance sheet as at 31 March 2007, the Group had a gearing ratio of approximately 33.2% (being the Group’s total shareholders’ loan of approximately HK$37.4 million divided by the Group’s consolidated net assets attributable to equity holders of the Company of approximately HK$112.5 million) and the Company’s auditors had expressed in its auditors’ report that there are significant uncertainties relating to the going concern basis of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2007. As such, the Group might not easily borrow funds of similar amount as the maximum principal amount of the Notes from banks. Moreover, the Notes bear no interest whereas the interest rate of the Group’s shareholders’ loan is at approximately prime rate minus 2% per annum. Accordingly, as compared to the issue of Subscription Notes, the Directors consider that the interest expenses which might have to be incurred from bank borrowings or further shareholders’ loan may create greater pressure on the cashflow of the Group in the short run. Based on the above, we concur with the view of the Directors that bank borrowings or further shareholders’ loan are not appropriate for or beneficial to the Group under current circumstances and the issue of the Subscription Notes provides a relatively less costly way of financing the Company.

— 18 —

LETTER FROM TAIFOOK

Other equity financing

The Directors have considered other equity financing as follows:

  1. A placing of new Shares will have an immediate dilution effect on the shareholding interest of existing Shareholders whereas, in normal circumstances, an issue of Subscription Notes does not create an immediate dilution effect on the existing shareholders unless and until the conversion rights under the Subscription Notes are exercised. Moreover, we note that in a placing of new shares, the placing price is usually set at a discount to market price. Since the Subscription Notes do not bear any interest and will be redeemed at the principal amount without any premium, we are of the view that the discount represented by the Initial Conversion Price to the market price of the Shares as at the last full trading day (the “Last Trading Day”) immediately before trading in the Shares was suspended prior to the issue of the Announcement was acceptable; and

  2. The average daily trading volume of the Shares for the trading days during the past 12 months ended on 13 August 2007, being the Last Trading Day, is approximately 2,976,510 Shares per trading day, representing merely approximately 2.5% of the total number of the Shares in issue and approximately 6.1% of the number of the Shares in public hands as at the Latest Practicable Date. Due to the fact that the trading volume of the Shares is relatively thin, the Directors consider that if the Company raises the necessary funds by way of a rights issue or an open offer instead of the issue of the Subscription Notes, it might have to be set at a high offer ratio and the subscription price for which would have to be set at significant discounts to the prevailing market price of the Shares and the underlying net assets value so as to attract subscription by the Shareholders. In addition, underwriting uncertainty and market risk associated with a rights issue or an open offer is normally higher as it would take a longer time to complete a rights issue or an open offer and any arm’s length underwriting is normally subject to standard force majeure clause in favour of the underwriter. In light of the fact that a significant discount rate to the prevailing market price of the Shares might have to be offered in order for a rights issue or an open offer to be fully underwritten by independent underwriter(s) and a longer period of completion time will be required by a rights issue or an open offer, we consider that a rights issue or an open offer is a less appropriate means of financing than the issue of the Subscription Notes at the prevailing time.

Accordingly, as compared to debt financing from bank borrowings and further shareholders’ loan and other equity financing, we consider that the issue of the Subscription Notes is an appropriate financing method under the current circumstances.

Principal terms of the Subscription Agreement and the Subscription Notes

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, Rich Place has conditionally agreed to subscribe for the Note by cash to be issued by the Company with a principal amount of up to HK$148,000,000. Rich Place is required to subscribe for the Subscription Notes equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Placing Notes at each Tranche.

— 19 —

LETTER FROM TAIFOOK

As stated in the Letter, pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Notes, Rich Place shall have the right to convert during the period on and excluding the 7th day after the day of issue of Subscription Notes and up to and including the day which is 7 days prior to the Maturity Date, the whole or any part (in an amount or integral multiple of HK$10,000,000 except for the last Tranche of the Subscription Notes to be issued) of the principal amount of the Subscription Notes into Shares at the then prevailing conversion price.

(a) Conversion price

The Initial Conversion Price of HK$0.80 per Share, subject to usual anti-dilution adjustments in certain events such as share consolidation, share subdivision, capitalisation issue, capital distribution, rights issue and other equity or equity derivatives issues by the Company, was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and Rich Place with reference to the prevailing market prices of the Shares.

The Initial Conversion Price of HK$0.80 per Share represents:

(2) Comparables

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Subscription Notes, we consider that it would be more appropriate to look into the issue of convertible notes with principal amount of not more than HK$500 million by companies listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange which were announced for the period from 15 July 2007 to 15 August 2007, being the one-month period immediately before the date of the Subscription Agreement (i.e. 16 August 2007).

LETTER FROM TAIFOOK

Given that the discount represented by the conversion prices of the convertible notes issued by Leroi Holdings Limited, G-Prop (Holdings) Limited and China Rich Holdings Limited respectively significantly deviate from those issued during the one-month period immediately before the date of the Subscription Agreement as listed above, we have chosen not to include them as part of the market comparables (the “Comparables”) in the calculation of the high, low and average figures of the Comparables and in the following analysis. Moreover, the conversion price of the convertible notes issued by Venture International Investment Holdings Limited (“Venture”) as consideration of an acquisition by Venture was determined with reference to the average of 5 days closing prices prior to and including the date of completion of such acquisition by Venture rather than with reference to closing prices prior to the entering into of the relevant agreement, we have also chosen not to include it as part of the Comparables in the calculation of the high, low and average conversion price of the Comparables and in the following analysis in relation to the conversion price.

As indicated above, the conversion prices of the Comparables ranged from (i) a discount of approximately 30.6% to a premium of approximately 29.9% to the closing price of the last trading day immediately prior to the respective date of announcement; and (ii) from a discount of approximately 37.5% to a premium of approximately 22.0% to the average closing price for the last 5 trading days up to and including the last trading day immediately prior to the respective date of announcement. The discount of the Initial Conversion Price of the Subscription Notes to the closing price on the Last Trading Day of approximately 5.9% and to the average closing price for the last 5 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day of approximately 14.0% are within the range of the Comparables respectively. In addition, in light of the fact that the Subscription Notes bear no interest and will be redeemed at 100% of the principal outstanding amount on the maturity date, we are of the view that the slight discount represented by the Initial Conversion Price to the closing price on the Last Trading Day and the average closing price for the last 5 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day is acceptable.

(b) Interest rate

The Subscription Notes carry no interest which is favorable to the Company and is better than the average of the Comparables of approximately 0.7%.

(c) Redemption

Unless previously converted, upon presentation of the original of the Notes to the Company at its own expense during normal business hours, the Company shall redeem the Notes on the maturity date at the redemption amount which is 100% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

The Subscription Notes will be redeemed at maturity at 100.0% of the principal amount without any premium whereas the Comparables are redeemable at maturity at an average premium of 109.2%. Thus, we are of the view that the redemption at principal amount of the Subscription Notes is favorable to the Company.

LETTER FROM TAIFOOK

(d) Maturity, transferability, voting and ranking

The Subscription Notes have a maturity period of three years from the date of issue of each Tranche of the Subscription Notes and they may transferred only with the prior written consent of the Company.

A Noteholder will not be entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at any general meetings of the Company by reason only of it being a Noteholder.

The Subscription Notes will rank pari passu with all other present and future unsecured and un-subordinated obligations of the Company. The Conversion Shares to be issued as a result of the exercise of the conversion rights attached to the Subscription Notes will rank pari passu in all respects with all other Shares in issue at the date on which the conversion rights attached to the Subscription Notes are exercised.

We consider that the terms of the Subscription Agreement in relation to the maturity (i.e. within the range of the maturity period from 2 to 10 years of the Comparables as shown above), transferability, voting and ranking are normal for debt securities of similar kind.

(e) Issue in tranches

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, Rich Place is required to subscribe for the Subscription Notes equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Placing Notes at each Tranche. The Placing Notes issued by the Company shall be issued in up to twelve separate Tranches during the Placing Period in which amounts as notified by the Placing Agent in writing to the Company provided that the principal amount of each Tranche is not less than HK$10,000,000 (except for the last Tranche of the Placing Notes to be issued). We concur with the view of the Directors that given the substantial size of the Subscription Notes (approximately 143.8% of the market capitalisation of the Company as at the date of the Subscription Agreement assuming all Subscription Notes of an aggregate principal amount of HK$148 million were issued), such an arrangement ensure that Rich Place has to subscribe for the Subscription Notes in separate tranches during the Placing Period depending on the prevailing market conditions so that Company can receive proceeds from the issue of the Subscription Notes throughout the Placing Period.

Having considered: (i) the background to and reasons for the granting of the Subscription Notes and entering into of the Subscription Agreement as described in the paragraph headed “Information and background of the Group and reasons for the issue of the Subscription Notes” above; (ii) the discount of the Initial Conversion Price of Subscription Notes under the Subscription Agreement to the closing price on the Last Trading Day and the average closing price for the last 5 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day are within the range of the Comparables respectively and is considered acceptable in light of the fact that the Subscription Notes bear no interest and will be redeemed at the face value without any premium; (iii) the Subscription Notes bear no interest whereas the Comparables bear an average interest rate of approximately 0.7%; (iv) the terms in relation to the maturity (within the range of the maturity period from 2 to 10 years of the Comparables), transferability, voting and ranking are normal for debt securities of similar kind; and (v) the issue of the Placing Notes in Tranches ensure that Rich Place has to subscribe for the Subscription Notes

LETTER FROM TAIFOOK

in separate Tranches during the Placing Period depending on the prevailing market conditions so that Company can receive proceeds from the issue of the Subscription Notes throughout the Placing Period; we are of the view that the terms of the Subscription Agreement are fair and reasonable and the entering into of the Subscription Agreement as a whole benefits the Company and is in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

Possible financial effects

The following analysis on the effect on the working capital, net assets value and gearing position of the Group as a result of the issue of the Subscription Notes and its subsequent conversion into Conversion Shares is for illustration purpose only assuming that there will not be any changes to the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date other than, having regard to the fact that in substance, the issue of each Tranche of the Subscription Notes is conditional on the issue immediately before such completion of the Placing Notes in the same Tranche, the issue of the Conversion Shares upon full conversion of the Notes at the Initial Conversion Price, and Notes with an aggregate principal amount of HK$296 million is issued.

Working capital

Based on the audited financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2007, the Group had a working capital of approximately HK$147.5 million, comprising current assets of approximately HK$212.6 million, including cash and bank balances of approximately HK$32.2 million and pledged time deposits of approximately HK$5.1 million, and current liabilities of approximately HK$65.1 million. Assuming the factors which may affect working capital position remain unchanged, the Group’s working capital will be enhanced as a result of the increase in its cash and bank balances of approximately HK$287 million received from the net proceeds of the completion of the Placing and the subscription of the Subscription Notes. Therefore, we are of the view that the issue of the Subscription Notes is favourable to the working capital position of the Group.

Net assets value

Based on the number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date of 121,083,000 Shares, and the Group’s consolidated net assets attributable to the equity holders of the Company of HK$112.5 million, the consolidated net assets attributable to the equity holders of the Company per Share is approximately HK$0.93.

Assuming the Notes are converted in full at the Initial Conversion Price, a maximum of 370,000,000 Shares will fall to be issued and the total principal amount of HK$296 million (assuming all Placing Notes of an aggregate principal amount of HK$148 million were successfully placed and all Subscription Notes of an aggregate principal amount of HK$148 million were subscribed for and issued) will be contributed to the total equity and the net assets value of the Group will be increased by the aggregate net proceeds from the placing of the Placing Notes and the issue of the Subscription Notes of approximately HK$287 million. Therefore, the consolidated net assets attributable to the equity holders of the Company will be increased whereas the consolidated net assets attributable to the equity holders of the Company per Share will be decreased slightly immediately upon full conversion of the Placing Notes and the Subscription Notes at the Initial Conversion Price.

— 25 —

LETTER FROM TAIFOOK

Given that the net assets attributable to the equity holders of the Company will be enhanced upon full conversion of the Placing Notes and the Subscription Notes and the working capital position of the Group will be enhanced as a result of the issue of the Placing Notes and the Subscription Notes which are favorable for the Group’s future investment and development, we are of the view that the slight decrease in the consolidated net assets attributable to the equity holders of the Company per Share is acceptable.

Gearing position

Based on the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Group as at 31 March 2007, the Group had a gearing ratio of approximately 33.2% (being the Group’s total shareholders’ loan of approximately HK$37.4 million divided by the Group’s consolidated net assets attributable to the equity holders of the Company of approximately HK$112.5 million).

We understand from the Company that due to the convertible feature of the Notes, the accounting treatments for the Notes include the initial recognition of the fair value of the liability component and the equity component of the Notes upon the issue of the Notes. Due to the increase in the liability component of the Placing Notes and the Subscription Notes of the Group and equity of the Group attributable to the Shareholders as a result of the issue of the Placing Notes and the Subscription Notes, the gearing ratio of the Group upon completion of the Placing Agreement and the Subscription Agreement and before any conversion of the Placing Notes and the Subscription Notes respectively would be increased. However, the gearing ratio of the Group will decrease gradually from time to time during the term of the Placing Notes and the Subscription Notes upon conversion. Immediately upon full conversion of the Placing Notes and the Subscription Notes, the total principal amount of the Placing Notes and the Subscription Notes will be contributed to the equity of the Company and increase the total equity attributable to equity holders of the Company.

After considering the reasons for the entering into the Subscription Agreement as stated in the paragraph headed “Information and background of the Group and reasons for the issue of the Subscription Notes” above, the funds raised from the issue of the Subscription Notes will further strengthen the financial position of the Group and equip the Company with readily available funds to take up investment opportunities as and when they arise, the Subscription Notes bear no interest and will be redeemed at maturity at principal amount without any premium, we consider that the increase in the gearing ratio of the Group upon completion of the Subscription Agreement as aforesaid is justifiable in so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

Dilution in shareholding

Based on the shareholding structure of the Company as set out in the Letter, as at the Latest Practicable Date, 48,603,000 Shares were held by public Shareholders, representing approximately 40.14% of the issued share capital of the Company. Upon exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the Placing Notes and the Subscription Notes, such corresponding shareholding will be diluted to approximately 9.90%. The Shareholders should note that dilution effect on earnings per Share and shareholding is inevitable if the Subscription Notes are converted. Shareholders would face a similar level of dilution if a placing as well as a rights issue or an open offer of the similar size of the Subscription Notes is proceeded instead of the issue of the Subscription Notes and they do not subscribe for the shares in full (under the rights issue or the open offer). Nevertheless, as discussed in the section headed “Alternative

— 26 —

LETTER FROM TAIFOOK

financing methods” above, a rights issue or an open offer is not an appropriate alternative to the Company at the prevailing time. Having considered that (i) the use of proceeds from the issue of the Subscription Notes as described in the paragraph headed “Information and background of the Group and reasons for the issue of the Subscription Notes” above; and (ii) the issue of the Subscription Notes is an appropriate means of financing compared with all other alternative means of financing as discussed in the paragraph headed “Alternative financing methods” above, we consider that the dilution effects on the shareholdings are inevitable if the Subscription Notes are converted and therefore acceptable, though on its own is not favourable, so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered (i) the above principal factors and reasons; and (ii) the terms of the Subscription Agreement and the Subscription Notes, we consider that the terms of the Subscription Agreement and the Subscription Notes are fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned and the entering into of the Subscription Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. We advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Subscription Agreement.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Taifook Capital Limited Derek C.O. Chan April Chan Managing Director Executive Director
