To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

(1) SECOND CONVERTIBLE BONDS PLACING AGREEMENT AND (2) NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The Company published an announcement dated 23 May 2008 in relation to, among other things, the Second CB Placing Agreement.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, further details of (i) the Second CB Placing Agreement; (ii) further information of the Company; and (iii) notice of the EGM.

SECOND CONVERTIBLE BONDS PLACING AGREEMENT

I. The Second Convertible Bonds

On 24 April 2008, the Company entered into a Second CB Placing Agreement with the Placing Agent in respect of the conditional issue of the Second Convertible Bonds in the principal amount of HK$25 million.

  • 4 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The holders of the Second Convertible Bonds will be entitled to convert the Second Convertible Bonds into Conversion Shares at the Conversion Price and upon such conversion, will be entitled to receive three Bonus Shares.

Save for the principal amount of the Second Convertible Bonds of HK$25 million, all other principal terms of the Second Convertible Bonds pursuant to the Second CB Placing Agreement are same as those of CB Placing Agreement dated 24 April 2007. The principal terms of the Second Convertible Bonds are set out in the section “II. Principal terms of the Second Convertible Bonds” below.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiry, each of the Placing Agent and its ultimate beneficial owners, being Ms. Chu Yuet Wah and Ms. Ma Siu Fong, is Independent Third Party. Ms. Chu Yuet Wah and Ms. Ma Siu Fong are the vendors of the Properties Acquisition, details of which were set out in the December Circular, and the ultimate beneficial owners of Kingston Finance Limited, a major creditor of the Company.

II. Principal terms of the Second Convertible Bonds

Issuer: the Company Placing Agent: Kingston Securities Limited Basis: Fully underwritten basis Placees: Not less than six placees to be procured by the Placing Agent who, and each of their ultimate beneficial owners (where appropriate), are third parties independent of the Company and connected persons (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company. The placees and their ultimate beneficial owners (where appropriate) will also be third parties independent of (a) Brightpower and its ultimate beneficial owners and their respective associates; and (b) Ms. Chu Yuet Wah and Ms. Ma Siu Fong and their respective associates.

The Placing Agent will not place to any placee an amount of the Second Convertible Bonds which will entitle each holder of the Second Convertible Bonds and their respective associates to become a substantial shareholder (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company upon full conversion of their respective Second Convertible Bonds and the issue of the corresponding Bonus Shares.

  • 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Placing Agent has given an undertaking to the Company that it will appoint sub-placing agents (where appropriate) to ensure sufficient amounts of the Second Convertible Bonds will be placed to sufficient number of placees so that the Placing Agent will not have to underwrite such amounts of the Second Convertible Bonds entitling it to convert into 30% or more of the equity interest in the Company upon full conversion of the Second Convertible Bonds and issue of Bonus Shares, and the Placing Agent’s equity interest in the Company will not be more than the Kong’s family’s interest in the Company, the controlling Shareholder of the Company holding in aggregate 1,525,507,921 Shares of the existing share capital, representing 59.56% of the total issued share capital as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Placing Agent will not become a substantial shareholder of the Company.

Amount:

HK$25 million

Maturity Date: Three years from the date of issue of the Second Convertible Bonds

Conversion Period:

The Second Convertible Bonds can be converted, at the option of the holders of the Second Convertible Bonds, at any time and from time to time from the date of issue of the Second Convertible Bonds to and include the Maturity Date.

Coupon:

8% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears

Security:

The Second Convertible Bonds will be unsecured

Conversion Price:

HK$0.10 per Conversion Share

The conversion price will be subject to adjustments for, amongst other things, consolidations or subdivisions of Shares, capital distributions, bonus issues, rights issues and other usual events which may have a dilution effect on the Conversion Shares to be allotted and issued to the holders of the Second Convertible Bonds upon the exercise of the conversion right attached to under the Second Convertible Bonds.

Conversion Shares:

250,000,000 Conversion Shares will be issued pursuant to a specific mandate to be sought at the EGM to approve the Second Convertible Bonds and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

  • 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Conversion Shares, when allotted and issued, will rank pari passu in all respects with all Shares in issue at the date of allotment and issue of such Conversion Shares.

Transferability:

Bonus Shares:

With the prior notification to the Company, the Second Convertible Bonds (or any part thereof) may be transferred or assigned by the holders of the Second Convertible Bonds in whole or in multiples of HK$1,000,000 to any party other than a connected person of the Company. Any proposed transfer to a connected person of the Company (as defined in the Listing Rules) or its associates shall be subject to the prior consent of the Company, and where applicable, compliance by the holders of the Second Convertible Bonds with the relevant laws and regulations, including but not limited to the Listing Rules.

Upon exercise of the conversion right attached to the Second Convertible Bonds for the Conversion Shares, the holders of the Second Convertible Bonds will be entitled to receive three Bonus Shares for every Conversion Share so converted.

750,000,000 Bonus Shares will be credited as fully paid by way of capitalization of an amount of not less than HK$75 million in the share premium account of the Company earmarked for this purpose.

Assuming full conversion of the Second Convertible Bonds, 250,000,000 Conversion Shares and 750,000,000 Bonus Shares will be issued to the holders of the Second Convertible Bonds on the basis of three Bonus Shares for each Conversion Share. The aggregate 1,000,000,000 Conversion Shares and Bonus Shares to be issued represent approximately 39.04% of the existing issued share capital of the Company and approximately 28.08% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company upon the issue of Conversion Shares and Bonus Shares.

The Bonus Shares will be issued pursuant to a specific mandate to be sought at the EGM to approve the Second Convertible Bonds and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

The Bonus Shares, when allotted and issued, will rank pari passu in all respects with all Shares in issue at the date of allotment and issue of such Bonus Shares.

  • 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Redemption:

The Company has the right to redeem at any time during the Conversion Period all or part of the outstanding Second Convertible Bonds in multiples of HK$1,000,000 at its par value.

The Second Convertible Bonds may be redeemed by the holders of the Second Convertible Bonds after end of the 24th month from the date of issue of the Second Convertible Bonds to the Maturity Date or upon occurrence of an event of default and if so requested in writing by the holders of the Second Convertible Bonds. The following events will constitute an event of default:

  • 8 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Mandatory Conversion:

Parties have agreed that at any time during the Conversion Period, the Company has the right to mandatorily convert all the outstanding amount of the Second Convertible Bonds into Conversion Shares.

The initial conversion price of HK$0.10 per Conversion Share represents:

  • (i) a premium of 300% over the closing price of HK$0.025 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 16 June 2004, being the last trading day before the date of the Announcement; and

  • (ii) a premium of approximately 297% over the average of the closing prices of approximately HK$0.0252 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days immediately prior to 16 June 2004, being the last trading day before the date of the Announcement;

  • (iii) a premium of approximately 355% over the audited consolidated net asset value of the Company per Share of approximately HK$0.022 as at 31 December 2007; and

  • (iv) the nominal price of the Share of HK$0.10 each.

Since three Bonus Shares will be issued upon successful conversion of one Conversion Share, for illustration purpose, the average price of HK$0.025 for each of the Conversion Share and the three Bonus Shares represents:

  • (i) the same price of HK$0.025 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 16 June 2004, being the last trading day before the date of the Announcement; and

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 0.79% to the average of the closing prices of approximately HK$0.0252 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days immediately prior to 16 June 2004, being the last trading day before the date of the Announcement;

  • (iii) a discount of approximately 13.64% to the audited consolidated net asset value of the Company per Share of approximately HK$0.022 as at 31 December 2007; and

  • (iv) a discount of 75% to the nominal price of the Share of HK$0.10 each.

The following table illustrates the shareholding structure of the Company upon full conversion of the Convertible Bonds and the Second Convertible Bonds and issue of the Bonus Shares which will not result in a change of control of the Company.

(a) mr. Cheung yik Wang

On 3 November 2003, an action was commenced by Mr. Cheung Yik Wang (“CYW”), who claims himself as an investor of Easternet Limited which owns 46% of Xswim (Holding) Limited (“Xswim Holding”) which is a 54% owned subsidiary of the Company, against Mr. Kong as 1st defendant, the Company’s director, and the Company as 2nd defendant for recovering a sum of HK$11,600,000 together with interest and costs in connection with a cheque issued

Appendix

on 20 December 2002 by the Company to CYW which was dishonoured upon presentation for payment. It was alleged that the cheque was issued by the Company as a guarantee for payment of a cheque issued by Mr. Kong. A defence was filed by the Company on 19 January 2004. CYW also filed a reply to defence on 17 February 2004. Up to the Latest Practicable Date, this action is still in progress and no hearing date has been fixed.

In the opinion of the directors, in 2002, Xswim Holding, a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and its subsidiaries (“Xswim Group”) advanced the Company an aggregate of approximately HK$15,241,000. In 2002, the Company repaid Xswim Group HK$5,600,000 leaving a balance of approximately HK$9,641,000 outstanding (the “Outstanding Balance”) and requested CYW to advance HK$2,000,000 (the “Intended Loan”) to the Company. As a result, the Company and Mr. Kong respectively issued on 20 December 2002 a cheque with an amount of HK$11,600,000 each payable to CYW as securities for the Outstanding Balance and the Intended Loan, although CYW has never advanced the Intended Loan to the Company. The Company repaid in full the Outstanding Balance to Xswim Group in 2003. Upon the full repayment of the Outstanding Balance in 2003, in the opinion of the directors, the Company no longer had legal or financial obligations to pay CYW and thus refused to present the cheque previously issued to CYW in 2003.

With the advices by the Company’s legal adviser, the directors are of the opinion that the Group has proper and valid defences to the CYW’s action and accordingly, no provision for loss has been accounted for in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007.

(b) ex-landlord

On 30 March 2004, an action was commenced by the landlord of the office premises of the Group (the “Ex-landlord”) against Pacpo Hong Kong Limited (“Pacpo Hong Kong”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, for overdue rental, building management and miscellaneous fees, together with arrears of rental up to the date of delivery of vacant possession of the said office premises, interests, cost and/or other relief of approximately HK$207,000. This case was heard by The High Court of The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on 21 June 2004 and judgement was issued in favour of the Ex-landlord. Accordingly, the Group is liable to pay the Ex-landlord approximately HK$712,000. However, the Group only settled approximately HK$226,000 in aggregate to the Ex-landlord. In December 2004, the Group and the Ex-landlord entered into a settlement arrangement, under which the Group agrees to pay the outstanding debts of approximately HK$486,000 by 14 monthly instalments, the first of which is to be paid in January 2005. In the meantime, the landlord shall withhold any action to enforce the judgement. However, the Group has defaulted the settlement of the aforesaid amount. Up to the Latest Practicable Date, no action has been taken by the Ex-landlord in respect of the default in repayments of the unsettled amount. A full provision of the unsettled amount of approximately HK$486,000 has been made in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007.

(c) Koffman Securities limited (“Koffman Securities”)

On 13 May 2004, an action was commenced by Koffman Securities against Kong Sun Resources Limited (“Kong Sun Resources”), as 1st defendant, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Company’s director, Mr. Kong Li Szu (“Mr. Kong”) as 2nd defendant, for specific performance of an option to repurchase certain investment properties (the “Premises”) of the Group. The Premises was previously sold to the Group in 2002 for a consideration of HK$21,000,000 by Koffman Securities satisfied by the issuance of 56,000,000 ordinary shares of the Company (the “Consideration Shares”) the Premises, which was subsequently disposed of by the Group in 2005. It is alleged that Kong Sun Resources and Mr. Kong gave an oral guarantee that:

  • (i) Kong Sun Resources would make good and pay to Koffman Securities of those Consideration Shares sold at a market price not less than HK$0.375 per share in the period of thirty six months commencing from 10 June 2002 so that Koffman Securities would receive not less than HK$0.375 per Consideration Share; and

  • (ii) Kong Sun Resources granted Koffman Securities an option to repurchase the Premises for a consideration of HK$21,000,000 at any time within a period of five years commencing from 10 May 2002, as security for the due and punctual performance of the alleged obligation mentioned in (i) above.

Koffman Securities claimed (i) against Kong Sun Resources to transfer the Premises to Koffman Securities for a consideration of HK$21,000,000 or such consideration as the court may determine, and (ii) against Kong Sun Resources and Mr. Kong the sum of approximately HK$12,889,000 being the total amount of outstanding differences in the price of the Consideration Shares disposed of and the alleged oral guarantee amount of HK$0.375 per Consideration Share together with damages, interest, cost and/or other relief. Up to the Latest Practicable Date, this action is still in progress and no hearing date has been fixed.

With the advices by the Company’s external legal adviser, the directors are of the opinion that the Group has proper and valid defences to this action in that Kong Sun Resources has never made the alleged guarantee to Koffman Securities and the Group had no legal or financial obligations to Koffman Securities in respect of the alleged claims. Accordingly, no provision for commitment or loss has been accounted for in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the above and so far as is known to the Directors, no litigation or claim of material importance was known to the Directors to be pending or threatened against any member of the Enlarged Group.
