Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSED CAPITAL REDUCTION AND CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 19 June 2009. The Board proposes to reduce the share capital of the Company by cancelling the issued and paid up capital to the extent of HK$0.09 on each of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and any further Shares which may be issued prior to the date on which the petition for the confirmation of the Capital Reduction is heard by the Court and by reducing the nominal value of all the issued and unissued Shares from HK$0.10 to HK$0.01 each. The Board also proposes that, upon the Capital Reduction becoming effective, the board lot size of the Shares for trading on the Stock Exchange be changed from 2,000 Shares to 20,000 New Shares.

  • 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is to give the Shareholders further information on the Capital Reduction and the Change in Board Lot Size and to give notice of the EGM to the Shareholders at which a resolution will be proposed to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the Capital Reduction.

CAPITAL REDUCTION

The Board proposes to put forward to the Shareholders a proposal to effect the Capital Reduction pursuant to the Companies Ordinance and the Articles of Association. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was HK$4,000,000,000 divided into 40,000,000,000 Shares, of which 5,225,166,921 Shares have been issued and are fully paid.

The Board proposes to reduce the authorised share capital of the Company from HK$4,000,000,000 divided into 40,000,000,000 Shares to HK$400,000,000 divided into 40,000,000,000 New Shares by cancelling the issued and paid up capital to the extent of HK$0.09 on each of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and any further Shares which may be issued prior to the date on which the petition for the confirmation of the Capital Reduction is heard by the Court and by reducing the nominal value of all the issued and unissued Shares from HK$0.10 to HK$0.01 each.

Assuming that no new Shares will be issued after the Latest Practicable Date and prior to the Capital Reduction becoming effective, a credit of approximately HK$470,265,023 will arise as a result of the Capital Reduction. Subject to the approval of and to the extent permitted by the Court, the credit arising from the Capital Reduction will be utilised to set off the Accumulated Losses. After setting off the Accumulated Losses, all or part of the balance of the credit arising from the Capital Reduction will be transferred to the Capital Reduction Reserve Account(s) and/or such other account(s) of the Company in such ways as the Court may direct. The amount standing to the credit of the Capital Reduction Reserve Account(s) and/or such other account(s) of the Company will be dealt with and applied in accordance with such directions and subject to such conditions as the Court may impose (if any), and/or in such manners as the Board considers appropriate.

CONDITIONS OF THE CAPITAL REDUCTION

The implementation of the Capital Reduction is conditional upon, among other things:

  • (i) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders approving the Capital Reduction at the EGM;

  • (ii) the Listing Committee granting approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares in issue upon the Capital Reduction becoming effective;

  • (iii) the Court making an order confirming the Capital Reduction pursuant to sections 58 to 60 of the Companies Ordinance;

  • (iv) the registration by the Companies Registrar of a copy of the order of the Court confirming the Capital Reduction and a copy of the minute containing the particulars required under section 61 of the Companies Ordinance duly approved by the Court; and

  • 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (v) the compliance with any conditions as may be imposed by the Court in relation to the Capital Reduction.

Assuming that all the above conditions are fulfilled, the Capital Reduction will become effective on the registration of the court order and the minute as referred to in condition (iv) above.

As the Effective Date will depend upon the timetable of the Court, it is not ascertainable at present and the dates indicated in the section headed “Expected Timetable” are for reference only and are subject to change. It is tentatively anticipated that the Capital Reduction would become effective on 18 September 2009. An application will be made to the Court for the approval of the Capital Reduction as soon as practicable after the same is approved by the Shareholders by way of a special resolution at the EGM. Further announcement(s) (if any) will be made to inform the Shareholders of the progress of the matter as and when appropriate.

EFFECTS OF THE CAPITAL REDUCTION

Business

The business and management of the Company and the Group will not be changed as a result of the implementation of the Capital Reduction.

Financial position

Implementation of the Capital Reduction will not alter the business and the underlying assets/liabilities or financial position of the Company and the Group, other than the payment of professional expenses relating thereto.

Rights of the Shareholders

Implementation of the Capital Reduction will not affect the Shareholders’ proportionate interests and voting rights in the Company. The New Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other.

Share options and convertible bonds

The Company adopted the share option scheme of the Company on 30 June 2003 (the “ Scheme ”). As at the date of this announcement, there are no outstanding share options granted by the Company under the Scheme.

The Company has also issued the Tree Convertible Bonds and the Placing Convertible Bonds of an aggregate amount of HK$165 million (the Tree Convertible Bonds and the Placing Convertible Bonds together are referred to as the “ Convertible Bonds ”). Implementation of the Capital Reduction will not have any effect on the conversion price or the number of New Shares fall to be issued upon exercise of the conversion rights attached to the Convertible Bonds or any other rights of the Company or the holder(s) of the Convertible Bonds under the Convertible Bonds.

  • 8 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Save as the aforesaid, the Company has no other outstanding convertible securities, options or warrants in issue which confer any right to subscribe for, convert or exchange into Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Note: The issued share capital immediately after the Capital Reduction becoming effective is presented on the assumption that no further Shares would be issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the EGM.

REASONS FOR THE CAPITAL REDUCTION

To facilitate future fund raising exercise of the Company

Since 2003, the Shares have generally been traded below its par value of HK$0.10 per Share. Under section 50 of the Companies Ordinance, the Company is not permitted to issue new Shares at a discount to the par value of the Shares, unless, among other things, the issue is authorised by a resolution of the Shareholders and is sanctioned by the Court. Moreover, section 58 of the Companies Ordinance further provides that a company, the net assets of which are less than its paid-up share capital, may not effect a capital reduction to re-designate the nominal value of its shares unless, among other things, the capital reduction is sanctioned by the Court. These statutory requirements, coupled with the fact that the Shares have generally been traded below its par value of HK$0.10 per Share, create difficulty for the Company to raise and to issue new equity capital as and when needed unless the Company proceeds with and obtains the sanction of the Court for the Capital Reduction.

  • 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Although recently, the market price per Share has been quite volatile and raised to a price above the par value per Share, there is no guarantee that such a price could be maintained. The completion of the Capital Reduction will reduce the par value of the Shares to HK$0.01 per New Share and will therefore provide the Company with greater flexibility in pricing the New Shares which may be issued in any future equity fund raising exercise.

In the circumstances, the Directors consider that the Capital Reduction is the most appropriate means of preparing the Company’s capital structure for potential future fund raising exercises, although no specific fund raising arrangements by way of issuing of New Shares have been formulated by the Directors at this stage.

To eliminate the Accumulated Loss

As at 31 December 2008, being the date to which the last audited accounts of the Company were drawn up, the total amount of the unconsolidated accumulated losses of the Company, consisting of losses of both permanent and non-permanent in nature, was approximately HK$596,411,000. The Capital Reduction will enable the Company to write off its Accumulated Losses. As a result of such writing-off of Accumulated Losses, the Company’s capital and reserves will more closely reflect the available net assets of the Company and would give the Company a capital structure that should, subject to performance, permit the payment of dividends as and when the Directors consider it appropriate in the future. The Directors, therefore, consider that the Capital Reduction is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

To facilitate the issue of bonus shares

After setting off the Accumulated Losses, the surplus of credit arising from the Capital Reduction will be transferred to the Capital Reduction Reserve Account(s) and/or such other account(s) of the Company in such ways as the Court may direct. Subject to such conditions as the Court may impose, such surplus or a part thereof can be used to pay up the unissued shares of the Company that may be issued to the Shareholders as fully paid bonus shares including, but not limited to, the Bonus Shares that may be issued under the Placing Convertible Bonds. The Directors consider that the Capital Reduction will provide the Company with sufficient capital reserve to issue bonus shares to its Shareholders and this will give the Company greater flexibility to attract and obtain funding from existing and new shareholders/investors of the Company.

CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

The Shares are currently traded in board lots of 2,000 Shares. The Board proposes that upon the Capital Reduction becoming effective, the board lot size of the Shares for trading on the Stock Exchange be changed from 2,000 Shares to 20,000 New Shares. It is intended that the Change in Board Lot Size will become effective on the Effective Date. Further announcement will be made as to the effective date of the Change in Board Lot Size as and when appropriate.

  • 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors consider that the cost of handling the Shares is relatively high due to the low market value for each existing board lot of the Shares and the Directors believe that the proposed Change in Board Lot Size will reduce the number of board lots in the market and hence the transaction costs for the Shareholders and the administrative expenses of the Company will be correspondingly lower. Having taken into account the aforesaid reasons, the Directors are of the view that the proposed Change in Board Lot Size is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The Change in Board Lot Size will not affect any of the Shareholders’ rights.

LISTING AND DEALINGS

Application will be made to the Listing Committee for the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares arising from the Capital Reduction.

No part of the share capital of the Company is listed or dealt in on any other stock exchanges and no such listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought.

The New Shares will be identical in all respects and rank pari passu in all respects with each other as to all future dividends and distributions which are declared, made or paid. Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares on the Stock Exchange, the New Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the New Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second trading day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.

DEALINGS IN NEW SHARES AND THE FREE EXCHANGE OF SHARE CERTIFICATE

Arrangements will be made so that subject to the Capital Reduction becoming effective, the Shareholders may submit their existing certificates for the Shares, which are blue in colour, to the Registrar at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong during business hours in exchange for certificates for the New Shares, which are orange in colour, free of charge from 21 September 2009 to 29 October 2009. After the expiry of such period, certificates for the Shares will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 per share certificate (or such higher amount as allowed by the Stock Exchange from time to time) for each certificate issued or cancelled, whichever is higher.

It is expected that new certificates for the New Shares will be available for collection within a period of 10 business days or so from the date of submission of the existing certificates of the Shares to the Registrar for exchange. The existing certificates of the Shares will cease to be good for delivery but will continue to be good evidence of legal title to the New Share, valid for trading, settlement and registration purposes and may be exchanged for certificate for the New Share at any time.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

ODD LOT ARRANGEMENTS

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) which might arise as a result of the Change in Board Lot Size, the Company has appointed Kingston Securities Limited as an agent to arrange for the sale and purchase of odd lots on behalf of the Shareholders and potential investors on a ‘best effort” basis. During the period from 21 September 2009 to 27 October 2009 (both dates inclusive), holders of the New Shares who wish to take advantage of this facility either to dispose of their odd lots or to top them up to a full board lot may contact Ms. Rosita Kiu during the aforesaid period as follows:
