Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSALS FOR RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, REFRESHMENT OF THE SCHEME LIMIT UNDER THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME, ISSUE OF THE BONUS SHARES, GRANT OF GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SECURITIES AND REPURCHASE SHARES AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding resolutions to be proposed at the AGM relating to (i) the re-election of retiring Directors; (ii) the refreshment of the Scheme Limit under the Share Option Scheme; (iii) the issue of the Bonus Shares; (iv) the granting to the Directors of general mandates for the issue of securities and repurchase of Shares; and (v) the extension of the general mandate to issue securities.

RE-ELECTION OF THE DIRECTORS

The Board currently consists of six Directors, namely Dr. Ng Chi Ho, Mr. Ma Fung On, Mr. Lee Kam Hung, Professor Wong Sook Leung, Joshua, Mr. Leung Yu Ming, Steven and Mr. Chan Kit Wang.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to Bye-law 115 of the Bye-Laws, Mr. Lee Kam Hung will hold office until the AGM. Pursuant to Bye-law 111 of the Bye-Laws, Dr. Ng Chi Ho and Prof. Wong Sook Leung, Joshua will retire by rotation at the AGM. The retiring Directors, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

Brief biographical details of the retiring Directors who are proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix I to this circular.

REFRESHMENT OF THE SCHEME LIMIT UNDER THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The Company adopted the Share Option Scheme on 17 September 2002. The purpose of the Share Option Scheme is to enable the Group to grant options to selected participants as incentives or rewards for their contributions to the Group. The Directors consider the Share Option Scheme, with its broadened basis of participation, will enable the Group to reward the employees, the Directors and other selected participants for their contributions to the Group and will also assist the Group in its recruitment and retention of high caliber professionals, executives and employees who are instrumental to the growth of the Group.

Under the Listing Rules, the maximum number of Shares which may be allotted and issued upon the exercise of all options which initially shall not in aggregate exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of adoption of the Share Option Scheme and thereafter, if refreshed shall not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of approval of the refreshed limit by the Shareholders.

The current Scheme Limit was refreshed by the Company at the annual general meeting held on 28 August 2007, which enable the grant of further share options to subscribe for up to 23,044,000 Shares, representing 10% of the Shares in issue as at 28 August 2007.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had granted options to subscribe for 10,550,000 Shares under the current Scheme Limit, representing approximately 4.58% of the issued shares of the Company as at the date of the refreshment of the current Scheme Limit (equivalent to approximately 45.78% of the current Scheme Limit), of which no option have lapsed in accordance with the terms the Share Option Scheme. 6,900,000 Shares have been issued pursuant to the exercise of options granted under the current Scheme Limit, options carrying rights to subscribe for 3,650,000 Shares granted under the current Scheme Limit remain outstanding and yet to be exercised. Since a substantial portion of the current Scheme Limit has been utilized, the Board proposes to refresh the Scheme Limit in order to enable the Company to grant further options to eligible participants so as to provide opportunities and incentives to them to work towards enhancing the values of the Company and Shares for the benefit of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Pursuant to the Share Option Scheme, options (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed or exercised in accordance with the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Group) previously granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Group will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Limit as refreshed. The limit on the number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Group must not exceed 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, options carrying rights to subscribe for a total of 3,650,000 Shares granted since the adoption of the Share Option Scheme remained outstanding and yet to be exercised, representing approximately 1.49% of the issued share capital of the Company. The Board will not grant any options under the Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Group if it will result in the 30% limit being exceeded.

On the basis of 244,940,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company between the period from the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Scheme Limit may be refreshed to enable grant of further share options to subscribe up to 24,494,000 Shares, representing 10% of the Shares in issue as the Latest Practicable Date.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The refreshment of the Scheme Limit is conditional upon:

  • (a) the Shareholders passing an ordinary resolution to approve the refreshment of the Scheme Limit at the AGM; and

  • (b) the Stock Exchange granting the approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, any new Shares representing 10% of the Shares in issue at the date of the AGM, which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of the share options to be granted under the refreshed Scheme Limit.

Application has been made to the Stock Exchange for granting approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the new Shares which may be issued upon exercise of options to be granted under the refreshed Scheme Limit, being up to a maximum of 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the AGM (which will not include the Bonus Shares which are not in issue as at the date of the AGM).

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to approve the refreshment of the Scheme Limit, details of which are set out resolution no. 5 in the notice of AGM.

ISSUE OF THE BONUS SHARES

Basic of the Bonus Issue

In addition to the proposed final dividend of HK 6.5 cents per Share for the financial year ended 31 March 2010 as announced by the Company on 8 July 2010, the Directors resolved on 8 July 2010 to recommend the Bonus Issue on the basis of one Bonus Share for every ten existing Shares held by the Qualifying Shareholders whose names appear on the register of shareholders of the Company on the Record Date.

On the basis of 244,940,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, and assuming no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the Record Date, 24,494,000 Bonus Shares will be issued pursuant to the Bonus Issue. Immediately after completion of the Bonus Issue, there will be a total of 269,434,000 Shares in the enlarged issued share capital of the Company.

On the basis of 24,494,000 Bonus Shares to be issued under the Bonus Issue, the Bonus Shares will be credited as fully paid by way of capitalization of an application of an amount of HK$2,449,400 in the share premium account of the Company. The Bonus Share will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Shares from their date of issue except that they are not entitled to the proposed final dividend for the financial year ended 31 March 2010 and will not rank for the Bonus Issue.

Fractional entitlements to Bonus Share will not be allotted to the Shareholders and will be aggregated and sold for the benefit of the Company.

Conditions of the Bonus Issue

The Bonus Issue is conditional upon:

  • (a) the approval of the Bonus Issue by the Shareholders at the AGM; and

  • (b) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Bonus Shares.

Reasons for the Bonus Issue

The Directors believe that the Bonus Issue is a return to the support of the Shareholders as well as allowing the Shareholders to participate in the growth of the Company by way of capitalization of a portion of the share premium account.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Adjustments to Options

Implementation of the Bonus Issue may lead to adjustments to the exercise price and/or number of Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Options. The Company will notify the respective holders of the Options regarding the adjustments to be made, if any, pursuant to the respective terms and conditions of the Options and notify the Shareholders by way of announcement. The Company will instruct its auditors or an independent financial adviser to certify in writing the adjustment, if any, that ought in their opinion fairly and reasonably to be made in accordance with the rules of the Share Option Scheme.

Closure of register of shareholders

The register of shareholders of the Company will be closed from Monday, 23 August 2010 to Wednesday, 25 August 2010 (both days inclusive) in order to determine entitlements of the Shareholders to the proposed final dividend for the financial year ended 31 March 2010 and the Bonus Issue, and the right to attend and vote at the AGM (or any adjournment thereof). In order to be entitled to attend and vote at the AGM (or any adjournment thereof), and to qualify for the proposed final dividend for the financial year ended 31 March 2010 and the Bonus Issue, all transfers forms accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong and registration office in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong not later than 4:30 p.m. on Friday, 20 August 2010 for registration.

Trading arrangements

Application has been made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of and permission to deal in the Bonus Shares. Subject to the granting of the listing of and permission to deal on the Stock Exchange as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of HKSCC, the Bonus Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the date on which dealings in the Bonus Shares commence on the Stock Exchange or such other date as shall be determined by HKSCC. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.

Settlement of transactions between members of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second trading day thereafter.

The Bonus Shares will be traded in board lots of 2,000 Shares each. It is expected that certificates for the Bonus Shares will be posted to the Qualifying Shareholders on or about Friday, 10 September 2010 at their own risk and the first date of dealing in the Bonus Share is expected to be on or about Tuesday, 14 September 2010.

The Shares are not listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange. The Directors do not intend to apply for the listing of or permission to deal in the Bonus Shares on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange.

Stamp duty in Hong Kong will be payable in respect of dealings in the Bonus Shares.

Overseas Shareholders

The Bonus Shares will be issued to the Qualifying Shareholders. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were three Shareholders whose address as shown on the register of shareholders of the Company was in the BVI (the “ BVI Shareholders ”). Pursuant to Rule 13.36(2) of the Listing Rules, the Board has made enquiries with its legal advisers as to BVI laws as to whether the Company is permitted to offer the Bonus Issue to such Shareholders in BVI and, if affirmative, whether there are any BVI laws, regulations or requirements for the delivery of the listing documents regarding the Bonus Issue to such Shareholders in BVI and if so, the special procedures to be observed in this regard, if any.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company has been advised by its legal advisers as to BVI laws that (a) the making of the Bonus Issue available to the BVI Shareholders and the issue of shares pursuant to the Bonus Issue to the BVI Shareholders will not violate any applicable law, regulation, order or decree in the BVI; and (b) no order, consent, approval, licence, authorisation or validation of or exemption by or filing with any government or public body or authority of the BVI or any sub-division thereof is required to authorise or is required in connection with the making of the Bonus Issue available to the BVI Shareholders and the issue of shares pursuant to the Bonus Issue to the BVI Shareholders.

Based on the above advice, the Directors have decided to extend the Bonus Issue to the BVI Shareholders as shown on the register of members of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and this circular (together with the notice of AGM and the relevant proxy form) will be sent to the BVI Shareholders.

If on the Record Date, there are Overseas Shareholders as shown in the register of shareholders of the Company, enquiry will be made by the Board pursuant Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing Rules. Upon such enquiry, if the Board is of the view that it would be necessary or expedient, an account either of the legal restrictions under the laws of the relevant place or any applicable requirements of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange in that place not to offer the Bonus Shares to such Overseas Shareholder, the Bonus Shares will not be granted to the Excluded Shareholders.

In such circumstances, arrangements will be made for the Bonus Shares which would otherwise have been issued to the Excluded Shareholders to be sold in the market as soon as practicable after dealings commence, if a premium, net of expenses, can be obtained. Any net proceeds of such sale for each Excluded Shareholder, after deduction of expenses, of HK$100 or more will be distributed in Hong Kong dollars to the relevant Excluded Shareholders, by ordinary post at their own risk, unless the amount falling to be distributed to any such person is less than HK$100 in which case it will be retained for the benefit of the Company.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 244,940,000 Shares in issue.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Appendix contains the particulars that are required by the Listing Rules to be included in an explanatory statement to enable the Shareholders to make an informed view on whether to vote for or against the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the proposed mandate to repurchase Shares (the “Proposed Repurchase Mandate”).

1. Share Capital

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 244,940,000 Shares. As at the same date, there were outstanding share options granted under the Company’s existing share option scheme entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for 1,400,000 Shares in total at an exercise price of HK0.75, 1,300,000 Shares in total at an exercise price of HK1.464 and 950,000 Shares in total at an exercise price of HK1.26

Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Proposed Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased before the AGM, the Company will be allowed to repurchase up to 24,494,000 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, during the period ending on the earliest of the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by applicable law or the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by a resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

2. Reason for repurchase

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares on the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the Company’s net asset value and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

3. Funding of repurchase

Repurchases must be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association and the Bye-laws and the applicable laws of Bermuda. It is presently proposed that any repurchase of Shares would be financed entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities. Any repurchase will be made out of funds of the Company permitted to be utilized in this connection, including profits otherwise available for distribution.

The Directors expect 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 audited accounts for the year ended 31 March 2010 in the event that the Proposed Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Proposed Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital or gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors is from time to time appropriate for the Company.

May 1.400 1.060

5. General

To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their associates currently intends to sell any Share to the Company in the event that the Company is authorized to make purchases of the Shares.

No connected person of the Company, as defined in the Listing Rules, has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Share to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so in the event that the Company is authorized to make purchases of the Shares.

In the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not repurchased any Share on the Stock Exchange or otherwise.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the Proposed Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of Bermuda.

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 Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code and Rule 6 of the Repurchase Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholders’ interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and may become obliged to make a mandatory general offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Superior View Inc. (which held the Shares for C.H.Family Trust which was set up by Dr Ng Chi Ho), Billion Linkage Limited (which is a company wholly and benefically owned by Dr Ng Chi Ho) and Dr. Ng Chi Ho (collectively “ Controlling Shareholders ”) held approximately 40.83%, 16.17% and 2.57% of the existing issue share capital of the Company respectively and which in aggregate held approximately 59.57% of the issued share capital of the Company at the Latest Practicable Date. If the Proposed Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, the percentage interests in the Company of Superior View Inc., Billion Linkage Limited and Dr. Ng Chi Ho would increase to approximately 45.36%, 17.97%, and 2.86% respectively and the percentage interests in the Company of the Controlling Shareholders would in aggregate increase to approximately 66.19%. To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, such increase in shareholding would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Proposed Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would result in the number of Shares in the hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.

Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequence which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchase pursuant to the Proposed Repurchase Mandate.
