To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSALS FOR GENERAL MANDATES TO REPURCHASE SHARES AND

TO ISSUE NEW SHARES OF THE COMPANY, AMENDMENTS TO EXISTING ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF THE COMPANY, RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

On 26th September 2005, the sole Shareholder passed an ordinary resolution to give a general mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares. Such general mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. The Directors propose to seek your approval of the Repurchase Resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting. An explanatory statement as required under the Share Repurchase Rules to provide the requisite information of the Repurchase Proposal is set out in Appendix I hereto.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE NEW SHARES

Also on 26th September 2005, the sole Shareholder passed an ordinary resolution to give to the Directors (i) a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of passing the resolution; and (ii) an extension to the general mandate so granted to the Directors by the addition of any Shares representing the aggregate nominal amount of the Shares repurchased by the Company after the granting of the general mandate to repurchase up to 10% of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of passing the Repurchase Resolution. Such general mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. The Directors propose to seek your approval of the general mandate for issuance of new shares at the Annual General Meeting.

AMENDMENTS TO EXISTING ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

Pursuant to paragraph E.2.1 of the Code and in particular, Rule 13.39(3) of the Listing Rules, the chairman of a meeting and/or directors who, individually or collectively, hold proxies in respect of shares representing 5% or more of the total voting rights at a particular meeting shall demand a poll in certain circumstances where, on a show of hands, a meeting votes in the opposite manner to that instructed in those proxies. If a poll is required under such circumstances, the chairman of the meeting should disclose to the meeting the total number of votes represented by all proxies held by directors indicating an opposite vote to the votes cast at the meeting on a show of hands. In the present form, the existing Article 72 of the Articles of Association does not provide that the chairman of a general meeting and/or any directors holding proxies representing 5% or more of the total voting rights at such meeting shall demand a poll when the meeting, on a show of hands, votes in the opposite manner to that instructed in those proxies. Besides, the existing Article 74 of the Articles of Association provides there shall be no requirement for the chairman to disclose the voting figures on a poll, both of which are inconsistent with the Code.

Pursuant to paragraph A.4.2 of the Code, every director should be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years. The existing Articles 111 & 112 of the Articles of Association are inconsistent with the Code.

In addition, the Stock Exchange made certain amendments to the Listing Rules which came into effect on 1st March 2006 whereby paragraph 4(3) of Appendix 3 and paragraph 5(1) of Appendix 13B to the Listing Rules have been amended to provide that a director may be removed by an ordinary resolution in general meeting instead of a special resolution. The existing Articles 105(g) and 114 of the Articles of Association provides that the Shareholders may at any general meeting by special resolution remove a Director.

Accordingly, the Directors propose to the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting to pass a special resolution to amend Articles 72, 73, 74, 105(g), 111, 112 & 114 of the existing Articles of Association in order to bring the Articles of Association in line with the requirements of the Code and Listing Rules. The details of the proposed amendments to the Articles of Association are set out in special resolution numbered 8 in the notice of the Annual General Meeting.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Brief biographical details of the Directors proposed to be re-elected at the Annual General Meeting are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

RIGHT TO DEMAND A POLL

Pursuant to Article 72 of the Articles of Association, a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands or on the withdrawal of any other demand for a poll) demanded:

  • (a) by the Chairman of the meeting; or

  • (b) by at least three Shareholders present in person (or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative) or by proxy for the time being entitled to vote at the meeting; or

  • (c) by a Shareholder or Shareholders present in person (or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative) or by proxy and representing not less than one-tenth of the total voting rights of all Shareholders having the right to vote at the meeting; or

  • (d) by a Shareholder or Shareholders present in person (or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative) or by proxy and holding shares in the Company conferring a right to vote at the meeting being shares on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less that one-tenth of the total sum paid up on all shares conferring that right.

On a show of hands, every Shareholder present in person (or, in case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative), or by proxy shall have one vote. On a poll, every Shareholder present in person (or, in case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative) or by proxy shall have one vote for each Share held by him. On a poll, a Shareholder entitled to more than one vote need not, if he votes, use all his votes or cast all his votes in the same way.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors believe that the granting of the general mandates to repurchase Shares and to issue new Shares, the extension of the general mandate to issue additional Shares, the re-election of Directors and the amendments to existing Articles of Association are in the best interests of the Company as well as the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend that all the Shareholders should vote in favour of all the relevant resolutions set out in the notice of the Annual General Meeting.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Share Repurchase Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the proposal to permit the repurchase of Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the Repurchase Resolution.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 400,000,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the Repurchase Resolution and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Resolution to repurchase up to a maximum of 40,000,000 Shares representing not more than 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Proposal is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets value per share and/or earnings per share of the Company and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum and Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The law of the Cayman Islands provides that the amount to be repaid in connection with a share repurchase may be paid from the profits of the Company and/or the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or out of capital, if the Company can, immediately following such payment, pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. The Company may not purchase securities on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

There might be an adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31st March 2006 in the event that the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Proposal were to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Proposal to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital or the gearing levels of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

– 8 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

4. UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Proposal and in accordance with the Listing Rules, the memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

None of the Directors and, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of their respective associates (as defined in the Listing Rules), have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Repurchase Proposal if such is approved by the Shareholders.

No connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Proposal is approved by the Shareholders.

5. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE AND PUBLIC FLOAT

If on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Proposal, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Company, Winmax Resources Limited, which is beneficially owned as to 60% by Starsome Limited and 40% by RGM Ventures Limited, was beneficially interested in 295,500,000 Shares representing 73.88% of the issued share capital of the Company. Based on such shareholdings and in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Mandate, the shareholdings of Winmax Resources Limited in the Company would be increased to approximately 82.08% of the issued share capital of the Company.

The Directors are not aware of any consequence which may arise under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases made under the Repurchase Proposal. The Company may not repurchase Shares which would result in the amount of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%.

6. SHARE PURCHASED BY THE COMPANY

The Company has not purchased any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

– 9 –

APPENDIX I

7. SHARE PRICES
