REASONS AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Group is principally engaged in supply and procurement business, provision of finance and securities investment. The Directors consider the Acquisition to be an investment opportunity for the Group to diversify into the Chinese medicine business and to enhance its revenue base and profitability. Through the Acquisition, the Company has acquired the Intellectual Property and has the right to commence production and sale of Jinhua Qinggan as prescription drug for clinical use. Subject to further obtaining the new drug certificate, the Company will also be able to market Jinhua Qinggan as a non-prescription drug to the general public. The Directors are of the view that the Acquisition will enable the Group to capture the business opportunities arising from the future demand for Jinhua Qinggan, which is aimed at treating patients who have been infected with Influenza A (H1N1) and other types of influenza.

The Directors (including independent non-executive Directors) consider the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement to be fair and reasonable as far as the Shareholders are concerned and that the Sale and Purchase Agreement is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
