CHARATERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been established as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high investment risk may be attached. In particular, companies may list on GEM with neither a track record of profitability nor any obligation to forecast future profitability. Furthermore, there may be risks arising out of the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM and the business sectors or countries in which the companies operate. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.
The principal means of information dissemination on GEM is publication on the internet website operated by the Stock Exchange. Listed companies are not generally required to issue paid announcements in gazetted newspapers. Accordingly, prospective investors should note that they need to have access to the GEM website in order to obtain up-to-date information on GEM-listed issuers.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
This is an explanatory statement given to all Shareholders relating to a resolution to be proposed at the AGM authorizing the Repurchase Mandate.
This explanatory statement contains information required pursuant to Listing Rule 13.08 which are set out as follows:
1. EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued ordinary share capital of the Company comprised 535,000,000 Shares.
Subject to the passing of Resolution No. 2(i) at the AGM and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 53,500,000 Shares.
2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole for the Directors to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Repurchases of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchases may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net value of the Company and its assets and/or its earnings per share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and Shareholders as a whole.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
Any repurchases will only be funded out of funds of the Company legally available for the purposes in accordance with the Company’s memorandum of association and Bye-laws and the applicable laws of Bermuda. A listed company may not repurchase its own shares on the GEM for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the GEM from time to time.
It is presently proposed that any repurchase of Shares would be made out of capital paid up on the repurchased Shares, funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose and, in the case of any premium payable on such repurchase, from funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or from the Company’s share premium account. The repurchase of Shares will be conditional upon the fact that on the date the purchase is effected, there are no reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the purchase would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due.
−6 −
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
4. STATUS OF REPURCHASED SHARES
The Listing Rules provide that the listing of all repurchased shares is automatically cancelled and that the certificates for those shares must be cancelled and destroyed. Under the law of Bermuda, repurchased Shares shall be treated as cancelled and its issued share capital (but not the authorised share capital) will be reduced accordingly.
5. EFFECT OF EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 31st December, 2004) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
6. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS
None of the Directors and, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of their respective associates, have any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised, to sell any Shares to the Company.
No connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised and neither has any of the connected persons undertaken not to sell his Shares to the Company in the event the Repurchase Mandate is exercised.
7. DIRECTORS’ UNDERTAKING
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.
8. TAKEOVERS CODE CONSEQUENCES
If, as a result of a repurchase of Shares, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder’s interests, may obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors are not aware of any consequences which could arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.
−7 −
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
As at the Latest Practicable Date, VNHL, who is the controlling shareholder of the Company, indirectly held approximately 61.05% of the Shares issued by the Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors are not aware of any consequences for VNHL under the Takeovers Code as a result, solely, of the Directors exercising the Repurchase Mandate in full.
9. SHARE PURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
No repurchases of securities have been made by the Company in the previous six months, whether on GEM or otherwise.
10. SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices of the Shares as quoted by the GEM in each of the previous twelve months following the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Shares | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Highest | Lowest | ||
| HK$ | HK$ | ||
| 2004 | |||
| October | 0.105 | 0.105 | |
| November | 0.112 | 0.105 | |
