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

The letter of resignation received by the Company from Zenith CPA Limited does not mention of any other matters and circumstances connected with its resignation which it considered should be brought to the attention of the holders of securities of the Company. The Board and its Audit Committee also confirmed that there were no other matters and circumstances in respect of the change of auditor which it considered should be brought to the attention of the holders of securities of the Company.
The Board proposed, with the recommendation of its Audit Committee, to appoint CCTH CPA Limited as new auditor of the Company to fill the casual vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Zenith CPA Limited.
