Approval for the Capital Increase was granted by the relevant regulatory authority in PRC on 28 February 2008. The registration of the Capital Increase pursuant to the Written Resolution took effect on 11 March 2008.

LETTER fROM THE BOARD
20% of the net asset value of Tongda Technology was RMB7,342,000 as at 31 December 2006. 20% of the net profits before and after tax of Tongda Technology was RMB950,800 for the year ended 31 December 2005. 20% of the net profits before and after tax of Tongda Technology was RMB2,223,400 for the year ended 31 December 2006.
The Group intends to finance the capital contribution from its internal resources.
Apart from the contributions towards the Capital Increase as set out herein, there are no further capital commitments that are required to be contributed by the relevant parties at this stage. If there is any further material capital commitments to be contributed by the relevant parties to Tongda Technology, further announcement will be made if and when appropriate to comply with the requirements under the Listing Rules.
fINANCIAL EffECT
The Company’s interests in Tongda Technology were recorded in the accounts of the Group using equity interest method before the Capital Increase. Immediately upon the registration of the Capital Increase, Tongda Technology was owned as to 70% by Tongda Xiamen and as to 30% by Xin Yeng, Tongda Technology became a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the accounts of Tongda Technology would be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company. After the Capital Increase, Xin Yeng became a substantial shareholder of Tongda Technology and a connected person of the Company.
It is estimated that both the total assets and total liabilities of the Group will increase after the registration of the Capital Increase as Tongda Technology will become a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and its assets and liabilities will be consolidated into that of the Group, but the Capital Increase will not have any material adverse effect on the overall net assets position of the Group.
Immediately after completion of the Capital Increase, as a non-wholly owned subsidiary, the results of Tongda Technology will be consolidated with that of the Group. Given the existing size of Tongda Technology in comparison with that of the Group, there will not be any material effect on the current earnings of the Group, though it is expected that Tongda Technology, being a non-wholly owned subsidiary, will contribute positively to the results of the Group in future.
REASONS fOR THE CAPITAL INCREASE
The Directors have always been active in seeking opportunities for expanding and enhancing the manufacture and sale of electronic products and appliances business and is optimistic about the enduring increase in demand of electronic products and appliances in the PRC. In view of the future exploitation, utilisation and development of electronic appliances in the PRC, the Directors consider that it is necessary for Tongda Technology to have sufficient funds to meet its future expansion. The Board therefore is of the opinion that the Capital Increase is required to facilitate the future growth and development in the business of Tongda Technology.
