APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES FROM CONNECTED PARTIES

The Listing Rules prohibit the Company from knowingly purchasing its securities on the Stock Exchange from a ‘‘connected person’’, that is, a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) and a connected person is prohibited from knowingly selling to the Company his/her/its securities of the Company.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, their respective associates, have a present intention, in the event that the proposal is approved by the Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.

No connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has any such connected person undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is passed.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 500,000,000 fully paid Shares.

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 50,000,000 fully paid Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the resolution.

3. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases would be funded entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities which will be funded legally available under the Cayman Islands law and the memorandum of association of the Company and the Articles of Association and for such purpose.

– 7 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full may have a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Company compared with those as at 30 September 2010, being the date of its latest published audited consolidated accounts. The Directors do not, however, intend to make any repurchase in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.

5. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange from 12 August 2010, being the date of listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange, and up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

HK$ HK$
2010
August 1.21 0.67

December 0.83 0.68

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

7. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the following Shareholders are interested in more than 10% of the Shares then in issue:

Number of Percentage
Name Shares holding

Name holding
All Reach 75.00%
Mr. Ieong 75.00%
Mrs. Ieong 75.00%

In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the voting rights of each of All Reach, Mr. Ieong and Mrs. Ieong in the Company would increase to approximately 75% of the then issued share capital of the Company. The Directors consider that such an increase will not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 or Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

At as the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors have no intention to exercise any of the Repurchase Mandate.

– 9 –
