(Stock Code: 918)

PROPOSED RIGHTS ISSUE

On The Basis Of One Rights Share For Every Five Existing Shares Held By Qualifying Shareholders

Financial Adviser

CENTURION CORPORATE FINANCE LIMITED

The board of Directors intends to raise approximately HK$7.79 million before expenses by issuing 77,900,000 Rights Shares at a price of HK$0.10 per Rights Share on the basis of one Rights Share for every five existing Shares held by Qualifying Shareholders on the Record Date. The Company will provisionally allot one Rights Share for every five existing Shares held by Qualifying Shareholders. The Rights Issue is only available to Qualifying Shareholders if the Directors, after having made enquiries regarding the feasibility of extending Rights Issue to Overseas Shareholders, consider it necessary and expedient not to offer the Rights Shares to Overseas Shareholders.

The Rights Issue is fully underwritten by the Underwriter and is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set out below under the section headed “Conditions of the Rights Issue”.

WARNING OF THE RISKS OF DEALING IN SHARES AND RIGHTS SHARES

Existing Shares will be dealt with on an ex-rights basis from 19 April 2005. Rights Shares will be dealt with in nil-paid form from 29 April to 9 May 2005 with both dates inclusive. If the Underwriter terminates the Underwriting Agreement (see the subsection headed “Termination of the Underwriting Agreement” below) or any of the conditions of the Rights Issue (see the section headed “Conditions of the Rights Issue” below) is not fulfilled, then the Rights Issue will not proceed.

Any dealing in the Shares or Rights Shares in their nil-paid form between now and the latest time for termination of the Underwriting Agreement, being 4:00 p.m. on 17 May 2005 is at the investors’ own risk. If in doubt, investors should consider seeking professional advice.

In order to qualify for the Rights Issue, all transfer of Shares must be lodged for registration with the share registrar of the Company, Abacus Share Registrars Limited, by 4:00 p.m. on 20 April 2005. The board of Directors believes that it is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders to enlarge the capital base of the Company under the Rights Issue, which will allow all Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the future growth of the Company.

Centurion has been engaged as the financial adviser to the Company with respect to the Rights Issue. A prospectus for the Rights Issue, a provisional allotment letter and an excess Rights Shares application form to all Qualifying Shareholders will be despatched on or before 26 April 2005. A prospectus will also be despatched to Overseas Shareholders for their information only.

RIGHTS ISSUE

Issue Statistics

Basis of the Rights Issue:

Basis of the Rights Issue: One Rights Share for every five existing Shares held by Qualifying Shareholders on the Record Date Number of existing Shares in issue: 389,500,000 Shares (as at the date hereof) Number of Rights Shares: 77,900,000 Rights Shares, representing 20 per cent. and approximately 16.67 per cent. of the existing and enlarged issued share capital of the Company respectively

As at the date of this announcement, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$100,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.10 each and as such, there is sufficient authorised share capital for the issue of the Rights Shares. The Company has no outstanding options, warrants or convertible securities as at the date of this announcement.

Qualifying Shareholders:

The Company will send a provisional allotment letter and an excess Rights Shares application form to each of the Qualifying Shareholders only. To qualify for the Rights Issue, a Shareholder must:

  • be registered as a member of the Company on the Record Date; and

  • have an address in Hong Kong appeared on the register of members of the Company.

In order to be registered as a member of the Company on the Record Date, Shareholders must lodge any transfers of Shares (together with the relevant share certificates) with the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong by 4:00 p.m. on 20 April 2005.

The Company’s branch share registrar is:

Abacus Share Registrars Limited Ground Floor Bank of East Asia Harbour View Centre 56 Gloucester Road, Wanchai Hong Kong

The register of members of the Company will be closed from 21 April to 26 April 2005, both dates inclusive, for the purpose of determining the entitlements of Shareholders under the Rights Issue. No transfer of Shares will be registered during this period.

Subscription Price:

HK$0.10 per Rights Share, payable in full by Qualifying Shareholders upon acceptance of the provisional allotment of the Rights Shares or application for excess Rights Shares.

— 2 —

The Subscription Price of HK$0.10 per Rights Share was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Underwriter with reference to the recent closing prices of the Shares on the Stock Exchange and represents

  • (i) a discount of approximately 37.5 per cent. to the closing price of HK$0.16 per Share quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 33.3 per cent. to the theoretical ex-rights price of HK$0.15 per Share based on such closing price;

  • (iii) a discount of approximately 37.3 per cent. to the average closing price of HK$0.1595 per Share quoted on the Stock Exchange on the last ten trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day; and

  • (iv) a discount of approximately 24.8 per cent. to the consolidated net asset value of approximately HK$0.133 per Share calculated on the basis of the consolidated net asset value of the Group of about HK$51.974 million as at 30 September 2004 referred to in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2004.

The Rights Shares have a nominal value of HK$0.10 each.

The Directors consider (a) the terms of the Rights Issue to be fair and reasonable and in interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole; and (b) the discounts of the Subscription Price as set out above should better enable Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue as Shareholders could subscribe the Rights Shares at a considerable discount to the various market prices set out above.

Status of the Rights Shares:

When fully paid, issued and allotted, the Rights Shares will rank equally with all the existing Shares. Holders of fully paid Rights Shares will receive all future dividends and distributions which are declared, made or paid after the completion of the Rights Issue.

Dates or deadlines set out in this announcement for events in the timetable for (or otherwise in relation to) the Rights Issue are indicative only and may be varied by agreement between the Company and the Underwriter. Any changes to the expected timetable will be notified to Shareholders.

Certificates for Rights Shares and refund cheques:

Certificates for all fully paid Rights Shares are expected to be posted on or about 24 May 2005 to those Shareholders who have accepted and paid for the Rights Shares at their own risk. Refund cheques are also expected to be posted on or about 24 May 2005 to unsuccessful applicants for excess Rights Shares at their own risk.

Rights of Overseas Shareholders:

The Rights Issue prospectus will not be registered under the applicable securities or equivalent legislation of any other jurisdiction other than Hong Kong and Bermuda. The Company is making enquiries regarding the feasibility of extending the Rights Issue to Overseas Shareholders. If based on legal opinions provided by the legal advisers to the Company, the Directors consider that it is necessary or expedient not to offer the Rights Shares to Overseas Shareholders on account either of the legal restrictions under the laws of the places of their registered addresses or the requirements of the relevant regulatory bodies or stock exchanges in these places, the Rights Issue will not be available to Overseas Shareholders.

As at 31 March 2005, the Company had a total of two Shareholders with registered addresses overseas, a summary of which together with the estimated funds that may be raised under the Rights Issue (if all such Shareholders subscribe for their entitlement of the Rights Shares) is set out below:—

out below:—
No. of Total no. Estimated funds that
Country Shareholders of shares held may be raised
U.S.A. 1 8,000 HK$160
Canada 1 2,000 HK$40

The legal advisers to the Company are making enquiry in relation to the legal restrictions and requirements of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange in the U.S.A. and Canada respectively and are awaiting reply from the legal advisers on the laws of such jurisdictions. Further disclosure will be made by the Company in the Rights Issue prospectus to be despatched to Shareholders on or about 26 April 2005 after it has formed the view as to whether or not the Rights Issue will be extended to the Shareholders in such jurisdictions. The Company will ensure compliance with rule 13.36(2) of the Listing Rules.

If the Rights Issue is not extended to Overseas Shareholders, they will therefore not be able to take part in the Rights Issue. The Company will send the Rights Issue prospectus to Overseas Shareholders for their information only. The Company will not send provisional allotment letters or excess Rights Shares application forms to Overseas Shareholders.

If a premium (net of expenses) can be obtained, the Company will sell each Overseas Shareholder’s provisional allotment of Rights Shares once dealings in the nil-paid Rights Shares begin. The proceeds of each sale, less expenses, of HK$100 or more will be paid to the relevant Overseas Shareholders in Hong Kong dollars. The Company will retain individual amount of less than HK$100 for its own benefit.

— 4 —

Fractions of Rights Shares:

The Company will not provisionally allot fractions of Rights Shares to Qualifying Shareholders. If a premium (net of expenses) can be obtained, the Company will sell any Rights Shares created by adding fractions of Rights Shares together, and will keep the proceeds for its own benefit.

Application for excess Rights Shares:

Qualifying Shareholders may apply (by completing excess Rights Shares application forms) for any unsold entitlements of Overseas Shareholders, any unsold Rights Shares created by adding fractions of Rights Shares together, and any Rights Shares provisionally allotted but not accepted.

Application is made by completing the excess Rights Shares application form. The Directors will allocate the excess Rights Shares at their discretion, but on a fair, reasonable and practicable basis and preference will be given to applications for less than one board lot of Shares where it appears to the Directors that such applications have been made to round up an existing holding of an odd lot of Shares. As at the date of this announcement, the Directors, Underwriter and their respective associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have not yet decided whether they will apply for excess Rights Shares.

Application for Listing:

The Company will apply to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares in both nil-paid and fully paid forms.

Nil paid Rights Shares will be traded in board lots of 2,000 Shares. Dealings in the Rights Shares (in both nil-paid and fully paid forms) will be subject to payment of stamp duty in Hong Kong.

UNDERWRITING ARRANGEMENT

Undertakings from Controlling Shareholder:

(“WII”) as trustee of the Wangkin Investments Unit Trust (the “Unit Trust”). All issued and outstanding units in the Unit Trust are beneficially held by Guardian Trustee Limited as trustee of Wang & Kin Family Trust (the “Family Trust”).

USE OF PROCEEDS

The estimated net proceeds of the Rights Issue, after deducting estimated aggregated expenses of approximately HK$0.49 million, are approximately HK$7.3 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Rights Issue for further expansion of the licensee/manufacturing business of the Group and in particular, for better strengthening the Group’s cash flow following the RMB5.5 million (or approximately HK$5.2 million) capital injection requirement in respect of the Company’s joint venture with Chongqing Union-4 Garment Manufacturing Company Limited in the People’s Republic of China, details of which were announced by the Company on 23 February 2005 and for general working capital. There are currently no plans to make any other capital investments.

REASON FOR THE RIGHTS ISSUE

The Rights Issue is a fair and equitable way for all Shareholders to participate in the future prospects of the Group. The Group is principally engaged in sourcing, subcontracting, marketing and selling of garments. The Directors believe that it is in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders to enlarge the capital base of the Company through the Rights Issue, as the enlarged capital base will better support the Group in its pursuit of the various business and investment opportunities and in particular, investment opportunities in the dealing of sportswears and garment under licensee agreements with major brand names. No investment opportunities are however currently being contemplated by the board of Directors and none is currently in negotiation.

GENERAL

Application will be made to the Stock Exchange to grant the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares, in both their nil-paid and fully paid forms. The Company did not conduct any other rights issues or open offers within the twelve-month period immediately preceding the date of this announcement.
