CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”)

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. 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.

GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES

At the AGM, it will be proposed, by way of ordinary resolutions, that the Directors be given a general mandate to (i) repurchase Shares, the aggregate nominal amount of which shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the relevant ordinary resolution; and (ii) allot, issue and otherwise deal with the Shares not exceeding 20% (716,267,000 Shares) of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the relevant ordinary resolution and the nominal amount of any Shares repurchased by the Company (up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the Company’s issued share capital as at the date of passing the relevant ordinary resolution). Any issue of new Shares is subject to approval from the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, such new Shares.

An explanatory statement containing information relating to the Repurchase Mandate as required under Rules 13.08 and 13.09 of the GEM Listing Rules is set out in Appendix I to this circular. This explanatory statement provides you with information to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution relating to the Repurchase Mandate.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

In accordance with Bye-law 87, at each annual general meeting one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation but shall be eligible for re-election. Accordingly, Mr. Robert Geoffrey Ryan, Mr. Bai Jinmin and Mr. Kwok Wing Leung Andy will retire but being eligible, shall offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Under the Share Option Scheme, the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company (excluding, for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit, options lapsed (if any) in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Company) shall not exceed the Scheme Mandate Limit. The Company may seek approval of the Shareholders in general meeting for refreshing the Scheme Mandate Limit provided that the total number of Shares in respect of which options may be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company under the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed shall not exceed 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the approval of the Shareholders on the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit. Options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Company (including those outstanding, exercised, cancelled or lapsed in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Company) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed. The maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option and any other share option schemes of the Company should not exceed 30% of the total number of Shares in issue from time to time.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, particulars of the options granted under the Share Option Scheme are set forth below:

Since the
Number of Shares in respect adoption of Since the
of the options granted under Share Option Second
the Share Option Scheme Scheme Refreshment
For options outstanding: 185,400,000 184,150,000
For options cancelled: 178,400,000 74,712,500
For options lapsed: 280,750,000 88,962,500
For options exercised: 118,775,000
For options granted (including outstanding,
cancelled, lapsed or exercised): 763,325,000 347,825,000

Since the adoption of the Share Option Scheme on 18 November 2004, the 10% limit on the grant of share options under the Share Option Scheme has been refreshed twice at the special general meeting of the Company held on 27 February 2007 and the annual general meeting of the Company held on 22 October 2007 (the “Second Refreshment”). Of the aforesaid options in respect of the 763,325,000 Shares already granted (including outstanding, cancelled, lapsed or exercised) under the Share Option Scheme, options in respect of 415,500,000 Shares were granted before the Second Refreshment; whereas options in respect of 347,825,000 Shares were granted after the Second Refreshment.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The current Scheme Mandate Limit is 357,883,500 Shares. Unless the current Scheme Mandate Limit is refreshed, only up to 10,058,500 Shares may be issued pursuant to the grant of further options under the Share Option Scheme. The refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit to be proposed at the forthcoming AGM will increase the flexibility of the Company in achieving the purpose of the Share Option Scheme as mentioned in the first paragraph above in this section.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 3,581,335,000 Shares in issue. For illustrative purpose only, assuming that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the maximum number of Shares issuable under any options that can be granted by the Company under the Scheme Mandate Limit to be refreshed at the AGM would be 358,133,500 Shares, representing 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the AGM.

As mentioned above, as at the Latest Practicable Date, options carrying the rights to subscribe for up to a total of 185,400,000 Shares (representing approximately 5.2% of the total number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date) were outstanding. There were no other options, warrants and similar rights to subscribe or purchase equity securities of the Company.

The proposed Scheme Limit Refreshment is conditional upon:

  • (i) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the AGM to approve the Scheme Limit Refreshment; and

  • (ii) the GEM Listing Committee granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of any option that may be granted under the Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Company under the Scheme Mandate Limit to be refreshed at the AGM.

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to approve the proposed Scheme Limit Refreshment and is set out as an ordinary resolution numbered 5 in the notice of the AGM on pages 14 to 18 of this circular.

Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of any option that may be granted under the Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Company under the Scheme Mandate Limit to be refreshed at the AGM.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This is an explanatory statement given to all Shareholders relating to a resolution to be proposed at the AGM authorising the Repurchase Mandate.

This explanatory statement contains information required pursuant to Rules 13.08 and 13.09 of the GEM Listing Rules which is 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 3,581,335,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of resolution no. 4(ii) 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 358,133,500 Shares equivalent to 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the AGM. The authority conferred on the Directors by the Repurchase Mandate would continue in force until (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (b) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Bye-laws or any applicable law to be held; or (c) the revocation or variation of the resolution regarding the Repurchase Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting, whichever is the earliest.

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 asset value and/or earnings per share of the Company.

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 GEM for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of 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, profits of the Company 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 profits of the Company or from the Company’s share premium account. The repurchase of Shares made out of capital will be conditional upon the fact that immediately following the date on which payment out of capital is proposed to be made, the Company shall be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

– 8 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

4. STATUS OF REPURCHASED SHARES

The GEM 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, a company’s 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 Company’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2009) 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 of the Company (as defined in the GEM 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 GEM 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 Rules 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.

– 9 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

As at the Latest Practicable Date, MAXPROFIT GLOBAL INC (being the controlling shareholder of the Company) and parties acting in concert with it held approximately 56.78% of the Shares issued by the Company. Should the Directors exercise the Repurchase Mandate in full, the shareholding of MAXPROFIT GLOBAL INC and parties acting in concert with it will be increased to approximately 63.08% of the issued share capital of the Company (assuming they do not sell any Shares before the repurchase). The Directors believe that such an increase would not give rise to an obligation on the part of MAXPROFIT GLOBAL INC and parties acting in concert with it to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code.

9. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No repurchases of Shares have been made by the Company in the previous six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date, whether on GEM or otherwise.

10. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices of the Shares as quoted by the Stock Exchange in each of the previous 12 months before the printing of this circular (including and up to the Latest Practicable Date) were as follows:

Shares
