  • (iv) a discount of approximately 18.92% to the closing price of HK$0.222 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date on the Stock Exchange.

Conditions of the Subscription Agreement

Completion of the Subscription Agreement is conditional upon:

  • (i) the approval by the Independent Shareholders of the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated under it and the grant of the special mandate to the Directors to issue and allot the Subscription Shares by the Independent Shareholders having been obtained at the SGM in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules; and

  • (ii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting its approval to the listing of, and permission to deal in the Subscription Shares.

If any of the above conditions is not fulfilled on or before 30 September 2008 (or such other date as may be agreed between the Company and the Subscriber), the Subscription Agreement will lapse and become null and void and the parties will be released from all obligations thereunder, save the liabilities for any antecedent breaches of the Subscription Agreement.

— 6 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Special Mandate

The Subscription Shares shall be issued pursuant to a special mandate to be granted to the Directors which will be sought from the Independent Shareholders who are permitted to vote in the forthcoming SGM, and such special mandate shall not affect any general mandate which have been granted to the Directors. The Company will apply to the Stock Exchange for the approval of the listing of and permission to deal in the Subscription Shares.

INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

The Group is principally engaged in the business of sourcing, subcontracting, marketing and selling of garments and sportswear products. Reference is also made to the announcement of the Company dated 7 April 2008 whereby it was announced that in consideration of US$3 million payable by Diadora S.P.A. to Fan Shing International Limited (“Fan Shing”), Fan Shing, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, being the licensee, entered into a conditional termination agreement on 7 April 2008 with Diadora S.P.A., the licensor, with respect to the termination of the licensing of the manufacturing and distribution of Diadora branded products by Fan Shing (the “Termination Agreement”). The Group also entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement on 7 April 2008 (the “Sale and Purchase Agreement”) to dispose of the stock-in-trade and certain trade debts in connection with the business of the manufacturing and distribution of Diadora branded products at the maximum consideration of RMB6,927,005 (equivalent to approximately HK$7,730,538) (subject to adjustment). Please also refer to the announcement of the Company dated 7 April 2008 for further details of the Termination Agreement and the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

After completion of the disposal aforesaid, the Group will no longer be engaged in the licensee business to use the trademark or tradename “Diadora” with the manufacture, advertising and sale and distribution of the licensed Diadora branded products and the Group will in the future concentrate its resources on its export business.

REASONS FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION

According to the interim report, as at 30 September 2007, the Group had unaudited consolidated net assets value of approximately HK$6.28 million and the Group’s gearing ratio was 0.96. The Board considers that the Subscription will enlarge the capital base of the Company and will reduce the gearing level of the Group thereby strengthening the financial position of the Group for its continuous development of the export business. The Board also considers that the improvement in gearing level of the Group would help the Company in obtaining and negotiating terms of banking facilities. The Directors believe that it is in the interests of the Company to capitalise the Capitalised Loan Amount owed by the Group to the Subscriber into share capital as loan capitalisation can reduce the overhanging effect of the Loan towards the financial position of the Company and would avoid unnecessary cash outflow from the Company in the event of repayment.

— 7 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Subscription Agreement (including the Subscription Price) are on normal commercial terms and the terms thereof are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

The following is the text of a letter of advice to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders from CIMB-GK prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this circular:

==> picture [112 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

CIMB-GK Securities (HK) Limited

25th Floor, Central Tower 8 Queen’s Road Central Hong Kong

7 May 2008

To the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders of Takson Holdings Limited

Dear Sirs,

CAPITALISATION OF LOAN BY CONNECTED PERSON

We refer to our engagement as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Subscription Agreement. Details of the Subscription Agreement are contained in a circular (the “Circular”) to the Shareholders dated 7 May 2008, of which this letter forms part. Expressions used in this letter have the same meanings as defined in the Circular unless the context otherwise requires.

The Independent Board Committee comprising Mr. Lee Kwok Cheung, Mr. Chau Tsun Ming, Jimmy and Mr. Cunningham, James Patrick; being the independent non-executive Directors, has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Subscription Agreement. The Subscriber is a connected person of the Company and the Subscription constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and therefore subject to approval of the Independent Shareholders by way of poll at the SGM where the Subscriber and his associates will be required to abstain from voting.

In formulating our recommendation, we have relied on the information and facts provided by the Directors and contained or referred to in the Circular. The Directors have declared in a responsibility statement set out in the appendix to the Circular that they collectively and individually accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in the Circular. We have assumed that the information and representations contained or referred to in the Circular were true and accurate at the time they were made and continue to be so at the date of the SGM to be held to approve the Subscription Agreement. We have no reason to doubt the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information and representations provided to us by the Directors. The Directors have also confirmed that all material relevant information

— 13 —

LETTER FROM CIMB-GK SECURITIES (HK) LIMITED

has been supplied to us and they believe that no material facts have been omitted from the information supplied and opinions expressed by them.

We consider that we have reviewed sufficient information to reach an informed view, to justify reliance on the accuracy of the information contained in the Circular and to provide a reasonable basis for our recommendation. We have not, however, conducted an independent verification of the information nor have we conducted any form of in-depth investigation into the businesses and affairs or the prospects of the Group or any of its subsidiaries or associates.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion in relation to the Subscription Agreement (including the special mandate to issue and allot the Subscription Shares), we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Background and Reasons

The Group is principally engaged in the business of sourcing, subcontracting, marketing and selling of garments and sportswear products. As announced by the Company on 7 April 2008 (“Disposal Announcement”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, being the licensee, entered into a conditional termination agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Diadora S.P.A., the licensor, with respect to the termination of the licensing of the manufacturing and distribution of Diadora branded products by the Group. The Group also entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement on 7 April 2008 (the “Sale and Purchase Agreement”) to dispose of the stock-in-trade and certain trade debts in connection with the business of the manufacturing and distribution of Diadora branded products. After completion of the disposal, the Group will no longer be engaged in the licensee business to use the trademark or tradename “Diadora” with the manufacture, advertising and sale and distribution of the licensed Diadora branded products and the Group will in the future concentrate its resources on its export business.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the principal amount of the director’s loan owed by the Group to the Subscriber amounted to HK$41,035,674 with no fixed term of repayment which is bearing interest accruing at the rate of Hong Kong Prime Lending Rate less 0.5% prevailing from time to time.

As noted from the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2007, the Group incurred a loss of approximately HK$35.83 million, representing a 59.74%

— 14 —

LETTER FROM CIMB-GK SECURITIES (HK) LIMITED

increase when compare with the loss incurred by the Group for the year ended 31 March 2006 of approximately HK$22.43 million. The Group had a consolidated net assets of approximately HK$21.79 million as at 31 March 2007, representing a 60.07% decrease when compare with the Group’s consolidated net assets of approximately HK$54.57 million as at 31 March 2006.

As noted from the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2007 (“Interim Report”), the Company continued to record net loss in the first six months of the financial year of 2007, and the loss had widened to approximately HK$16.57 million compared to that of approximately HK$11.70 million for the corresponding period in 2006. As a result of the loss incurred in the first six months of the financial year of 2007, the Group’s consolidated net asset further decreased to approximately HK$6.28 million as at 30 September 2007.

The Directors believe that it is in the interest of the Company to capitalise the Capitalised Loan Amount owed by the Group to the Subscriber into share capital as the Subscription will enlarge the capital base of the Company and will reduce the gearing level of the Group thereby strengthening the financial position of the Group for its continuous development of the export business. The loan capitalization can also avoid unnecessary cash outflow from the Company in the event of repayment. We also note from the letter from the board that the Directors consider that the improvement in gearing level of the Group would help the Company in obtaining and negotiating terms of banking facilities.

Given the Group’s recent losses, we concur that it is in the interest of the Company to strengthen its financial position by enlarging its capital base and reducing the gearing level and to reserve its cash flow for its future business development of the export business.

Having considered (i) the Group’s net assets and the recent loss position; (ii) the fact that the Subscription will not only reduce the Group’s indebtedness level but also strengthen the Company’s capital base; and (iii) the fairness of the terms of the Subscription Agreement as elaborated below, we concur with the Directors’ view that the Subscription Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

During the Review Period, the closing price of the Shares ranged from the lowest of HK$0.174 per Share (recorded on 18 March 2008) to the highest of HK$0.66 per Share (recorded on 29 October 2007). The average closing price of the Shares for the Review Period is approximately HK$0.32.

For the period between 25 September 2007 to 26 October 2007, the closing price of the Shares traded within a range of between HK$0.435 to HK$0.5 per Share for most of the time.

We note that during the Review Period, the Company has announced three announcements on 29 October 2007, 30 October 2007 and 21 February 2008, respectively, stating that it was not aware of any reasons for the change in the price and trading volumes of the Shares. Save for these announcements, during the Review Period, the Company announced its interim results announcement on 29 December 2007.

The closing price of the Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date was HK$0.222 per Share, which is 4.72% above the closing price of the Shares as at the Last Dealing Date and is 18.92% below the Subscription Price, respectively.

We have also reviewed the historical trading volume of the Shares during the Review Period.

LETTER FROM CIMB-GK SECURITIES (HK) LIMITED

Notes:

  1. Based on 517,400,000 Shares in issue as at the Last Dealing Date.

  2. Based on 216,858,400 Shares held by the public Shareholders as at the Last Dealing Date.

  3. No trading in the Shares on 15 November 2007, 17 January 2008, 6 February 2008, 11 February 2008, 13 March 2008, 26 March 2008, 27 March 2008 and 28 March 2008.

Table 1 demonstrates that during the Pre-Announcement Period, the average daily trading volume of the Shares was in the range of approximately 0.06% to 0.83% of the total number of issued Shares as at the Last Dealing Date and approximately 0.15% to 1.99% of the total number of the Shares held in public Shareholders as at the Last Dealing Date.

The average daily trading volume of the Shares from 25 April 2008, being the trading day immediately after the date of the Announcement, up to the Latest Practicable Date was 1,082,800 Shares, representing approximately 0.21% of the total number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, and approximately 0.50% to the total number of the Shares held by the public Shareholders as at the Latest Practicable Date.

During the Review Period, 8 days had no trading in the Shares, representing approximately 5.44% of the total trading days of the Shares in the Review Period. The above statistics showed that the trading of the Shares was inactive.

(B) Price-earning ratio analysis

In addition to the historical share price analysis, price-earning ratio is also a common valuation method to value a company with recurrent income. However, as the Company has recorded losses for the financial year ended 31 March 2006 and 2007, price-earning ratio analysis in the case of the Company is not appropriate.

(C) Net assets value analysis

According to the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 March 2007, the Company had audited consolidated net assets value of approximately HK$21.79 million, representing an audited net assets value per Share of approximately HK$0.042. The Company’s unaudited consolidated net assets value as at 30 September 2007 as reported in its Interim Report further decreased to approximately HK$6.28 million, representing an unaudited net assets value per Share of approximately HK$0.012. In addition, as noted from the Disposal Announcement, based on the unaudited net assets value of the Diadora licensee

LETTER FROM CIMB-GK SECURITIES (HK) LIMITED

business as at the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, it is estimated that the Company will recognize a gain (the “Gain”) on disposal of approximately HK$11.44 million (assuming that there will be no adjustment to the consideration under the Sale and Purchase Agreement). After taking into account of such gain on disposal, the unaudited consolidated net assets value of the Company as at 30 September 2007, as adjusted by the Gain is approximately HK$17.72 million. Given that the Subscription Price represents i) a premium of approximately 328.57% over the audited net assets value per Share as at 31 March 2007; ii) a premium of approximately 1,400% over the unaudited net assets value per Share as at 30 September 2007; and iii) a premium of approximately 425.6% over the unaudited net assets value per Share as at 30 September 2007 as adjusted for the Gain, the completion of the Subscription will lead to an enhancement of the net assets value per Share of the Company.

(D) Comparable analysis

As fund raising by way of issuance of the Subscription Shares has a similar nature with a share placement, in considering the reasonableness of the Subscription Price, for reference purpose, we have also reviewed the recently announced share placements. We set out below certain information in related to 30 recent share placements conducted by companies listed on the main board of the Stock Exchange (the “Comparables”) from December 2007 to the Last Dealing Date:

Average (10.30)

As demonstrated in the table above, the placing prices of the Comparables ranged from a discount of approximately 41.18% to a premium of 1.11% to the closing prices on the last trading day before the respective placements, with an average discount of approximately 10.30%. The Subscription Price of HK$0.18 per Subscription Share represents a discount of 15.09% to the closing price of HK$0.212 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Dealing Date which is within the range and higher than the average discount of the Comparables.

Based on the annual reports of the Company, we note that the Group’s export business had only recorded small segmental operating profit before allocation of corporate expenses for the past two financial years. After completion of the Termination Agreement, the Group will concentrate its effort on growing the export business as stated in the Company’s announcement dated 7 April 2008. Furthermore, the trading of the Shares was inactive during the Review Period as illustrated in the section headed “(A) Historical market price and liquidity of the Shares” of our letter. Given the above, we consider that it would have been difficult for the Company to conduct a share placement for the Loan repayment at or below the average discount of the Comparables at the Latest Dealing Date.

— 21 —

LETTER FROM CIMB-GK SECURITIES (HK) LIMITED

Having considered the i) historical market price and liquidity of the shares; ii) the price-earning ratio analysis; iii) the net assets value analysis and; iv) the comparable analysis above, we consider that the Subscription Price of HK$0.18 per Share is fair and reasonable.

3. Financial Effects

(i) Earnings

Upon settlement of the Capitalised Loan Amount, the Company will no longer be required to pay interest of Hong Kong prime lending rate less 0.5% per annum on the Capitalised Loan Amount.

(ii) Net assets

The Group had unaudited consolidated net assets value of approximately HK$6.28 million as at 30 September 2007. Upon completion of the Subscription Agreement, the Group’s net assets value will be increased by the amount of the Capitalised Loan Amount less related expenses.

(iii) Cash flow

As the proceeds from the issue of the Subscription Shares to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement will be applied for full and final settlement of the Capitalised Loan Amount, the Subscription will enable the Company to free the cash flow for the development of its export business.

(iv) Borrowings

Upon completion of the Subscription, the Capitalised Loan Amount will be fully settled, thus reducing the Group’s total borrowings by the amount of the Capitalised Loan Amount. According to the interim report, as at 30 September 2007, the Group’s gearing ratio was 0.96. Assuming that the Subscription Agreement was completed as at 30 September 2007, the Group’s gearing ratio would be reduced to 0.76.

4. Dilution Effect

As at the Latest Practicable Date, 216,858,400 Shares, representing approximately 41.91% of the existing issued share capital of the Company, were held by public Shareholders. An aggregate of 200,000,000 Subscription Shares will be issued to the Subscriber pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. The Subscription Shares to be issued to the Subscriber represents approximately 38.65% of the Company’s existing

— 22 —

LETTER FROM CIMB-GK SECURITIES (HK) LIMITED

issued share capital and approximately 27.88% of the Company’s issued share capital as enlarged by the Subscription. Upon completion of the Subscription, the percentage of Shares held by public Shareholders will decrease from 41.91% to 30.23%. Having taken into account of the recent financial performances of the Group, the benefits of the Subscription and the fair and reasonableness of the Subscription price as explained above, we consider that the dilution effect on the shareholding of the public Shareholders arising from the Subscriptions to be acceptable.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the principal factors and reasons set out above, we consider that the terms of the Subscription Agreement (including the special mandate to issue and allot the Subscription Shares) are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we advise (i) the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders, and (ii) the Independent Shareholders, to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Subscription Agreement.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of CIMB-GK Securities (HK) Limited Alex Lau Flavia Hung Director Director Head of Corporate Finance
