* For identification purposes only.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to grant to the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to issue further Shares. The aggregate number of Shares allotted or agreed to be allotted under this General Mandate must not exceed the aggregate of 20% of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of passing of the resolution.

GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve and give the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares. The number of Shares which the Company is authorized to purchase on the Stock Exchange or on another stock exchange recognized for this purpose by the Securities and Futures Commission and the Stock Exchange under the Takeover Code may not exceed 10% of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of the passing of the resolution until the next annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of the said ordinary resolution or such earlier period as stated in the said ordinary resolution.

An explanatory statement to provide the Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision in relation to this proposed resolution as required by the Listing Rules concerning the regulation of repurchases by companies of their own securities on the Stock Exchange is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

Pursuant to Bye-law 87, Mr. Cheung Chung Kiu, Mr. Zhang Qing Xin and Mr. Lam Hiu Lo will retire by rotation at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting, and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election.

Particulars of the above retiring Directors who are proposed to be re-elected at the Annual General Meeting are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

REFRESHMENT OF SHARE OPTION SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT

The existing Share Option Scheme was adopted by the Company by way of shareholders’ resolution passed on 29 April 2005. The purpose of the Share Option Scheme is to recognize and motivate the contribution of employees and other person(s) who may make a contribution to the Group and to provide incentives and help the Group in retaining its existing employees and recruiting additional employees and to provide them with a direct economic interest in attaining the long term business objectives of the Group. Apart from the existing Share Option Scheme, the Company had no other share option scheme as at the Latest Practicable Date.

— 4 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all share options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit is 872,432,170 Shares. On 31 July 2006, holder of the convertible note which was issued by the Company exercised the conversion rights attaching to the convertible note and converted part of the convertible note into 290,000,000 Shares at a price of HK$0.082 per Share. As a result of the said conversion, the number of issued Shares increased from 8,724,321,700 to 9,014,321,700. Unless the refreshment of Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit is approved, only up to 872,432,170 Shares may be issued pursuant to the grants of share options under the existing Share Option Scheme. The Board wishes to retain flexibility to be able to make new grants of share options under the existing Share Option Scheme and the Directors consider that the refreshment of Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit will be in the interests of the Company as the existing Share Option Scheme can continue to serve its purpose of providing incentives to the participants to work towards achieving the goals of the Group.

Up to the Latest Practicable Date, no share option was granted under the existing Share Option Scheme and there was no outstanding share option from the adoption date of the existing Share Option Scheme up to the Latest Practicable Date.

Pursuant to paragraph 29 of the existing Share Option Scheme, the Company may seek approval of its Shareholders in general meeting to renew the Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit provided that the Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit so renewed must not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue at the date of approval of the renewal by the Shareholders. Options previously granted under existing Share Option Scheme and any other option schemes of the Company (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with the scheme or exercised options) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the “refreshed” Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit.

The number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the existing Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company shall not exceed 30% of the total number of Shares in issue from time to time.

On the basis of 9,014,321,700 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit may be “refreshed” to enable grant of further share options to subscribe up to 901,432,170 Shares, representing 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting.

The refreshment of the Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional upon:

  • (1) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders to approve the refreshment of the Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit at the Annual General Meeting; and

— 5 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (2) the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, such number of Shares representing 10% of the Shares in issue at the date of the Annual General Meeting, which may fall to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the share options granted under the “refreshed” Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit.

Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of and the permission to deal in the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of share options granted under the “refreshed” Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

A notice of the Annual General Meeting to be held on 11 May 2007 is set out on pages 13 to 16 of the circular to consider the resolutions relating to, inter alia, the General Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate, the re-election of retiring Directors and the refreshment of the Share Option Scheme Mandate Limit.

Completion and delivery of the form of proxy will not prevent Shareholders from attending and voting at the Annual General Meeting if they so wish.

POLL DEMAND

According to the Bye-laws, at any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands or on the withdrawal of any other demand for a poll) a poll is demanded. A poll may be demanded by:

If a poll is duly demanded the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This explanatory statement contains all the information required pursuant to rule 10.06(1)(b) and other relevant provisions of the Listing Rules.

THE SHARE REPURCHASE RULES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their fully paid up shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions. In this regard, the definition of “shares” in the Listing Rules would, and where used below in this explanatory statement (including the use of the word “share”) shall (unless the context otherwise requires) include shares of all classes and securities which carry a right to subscribe or purchase shares.

EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate, on the basis of 9,014,321,700 existing Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and on the basis that no new Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the date of the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate, could accordingly result in up to 901,432,170 Shares as at the date of the Annual General Meeting, being repurchased by the Company during the course of the period from the date of resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate until the earlier of the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by law or the Bye-laws to be held or the revocation or variation of the existing Repurchase Mandate by Shareholders in general meeting.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase securities of the Company in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets and/or earnings per Share and will only be made if the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing its securities, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Bye-laws and the laws of Bermuda.

Under Bermuda law, repurchases may only be effected out of the capital paid up on the repurchased shares or out of funds of the company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose. Any premium payable on a purchase over the par value of the shares to be purchased must be provided for out of funds of the company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the company’s share premium account.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

As compared with the position as disclosed in the Company’s most recent published audited accounts for the year ended 31 December 2006 and taking into account the current working capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that no material adverse effect on the working capital and gearing position of the Company may result in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full in the period before the Repurchase Mandate expires. The Directors however do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

GENERAL

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by Shareholders to sell Shares to the Company.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

If, as a result of a Share repurchase, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeover Code. In certain circumstances, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert could as a result of increase of its or their interest, obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with rule 26 of the Takeover Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the following persons hold the following percentage of the Shares:

Number of shares of
Name HK$0.01 each Percentage of holding
Palin Holdings Limited (Note 1) 3,194,434,684 35.44%
Chongqing Industrial Limited_(Note 2)_ 3,194,434,684 35.44%
Timmex Investment Limited 561,000,000 6.22%
Cheung Chung Kiu_(Note 3)_ 3,808,754,684 42.25%

Notes:

(1) Palin Holdings Limited is a trustee for Palin Discretionary Trust, a family discretionary trust, the beneficiaries include Mr. Cheung Chung Kiu and his family. The voting rights of these Shares are exercisable by Chongqing Industrial Limited (“CQI”), in which Palin Holdings Limited holds 65% interest indirectly.

— 9 —

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

  • (2) The voting rights of these Shares are exercisable by CQI which is controlled by Mr. Cheung Chung Kiu.

  • (3) Out of 3,808,754,684 Shares, 3,194,434,684 Shares are held by CQI, 561,000,000 Shares are held by Timmex Investment Limited (“Timmex”) and 53,320,000 Shares are held by Mr. Cheung Chung Kiu personally.

If, which is not presently contemplated, the Company was to exercise the Repurchase Mandate in full, the percentage shareholding of Palin Holdings Limited, CQI, Timmex and Mr. Cheung Chung Kiu in aggregate would increase from 42.25% to 46.95% and they (including other companies or persons acting in concert with them) would then be obligated to make a mandatory offer in accordance with rule 26 of the Takeover Code.

However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, cause Palin Holdings Limited, CQI, Timmex and/or Mr. Cheung Chung Kiu to become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with rule 26 of the Takeover Code.

No connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate was approved by the Shareholders.

The Company has not repurchased any of its Shares, whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise, during the previous six months.

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange during the previous twelve months prior to the date of this circular were as follows:
