LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RESIGNATION AND PROPOSED APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

As set out in the announcement of the Company dated 15 April 2014 (the “ Announcement ”), the Board announced that Crowe Horwath, the former auditors of the Group, had resigned as auditors with effect from 11 April 2014. In the resignation letter from Crowe Horwath to the Company dated 11 April 2014, Crowe Horwath confirmed that they resigned as auditors of the Group because they could not reach a consensus on the audit fee with the Board for the year ended 31 March 2013, and they arrived at this decision after carefully considering the fee level of the engagement commensurate with the amount of time required at various levels of responsibility.

Crowe Horwath was appointed as auditors of the Group with effect from 28 May 2013 to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company. The Company received the resignation letter from Crowe Horwath in respect of their resignation as auditors of the Group with effect from 11 April 2014. As mentioned in the Announcement, in their resignation letter to the Company, Crowe Horwath confirmed that, apart from the reason for their resignation, there are no circumstances connected with their resignation that should be brought to the attention of the Shareholders.

The Board confirmed that there is no other matter in respect of the resignation of Crowe Horwath that needs to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders, and there are no disagreements between Crowe Horwath and the Company, save for those disclosed above.

As set out in the Announcement, the Board proposed, with the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Company, to appoint JH CPA as the Group’s new auditors following the resignation of Crowe Horwath and to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company. Pursuant to Article 158 of the Articles of Association of the Company, the Company shall as soon as practicable convene an extraordinary general meeting for approving the appointment of JH CPA and for fixing their remuneration.

The proposed appointment of JH CPA shall be approved by the Shareholders. As such, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the EGM for the Shareholders to approve the appointment of JH CPA as auditors of the Group with effect from the date of the EGM.

JH CPA is a registered firm of Certified Public Accountants in Hong Kong. As advised by JH CPA, JH CPA is committed to provide quality services to meet the needs of their clients, and place strict standards and expectations on their professionals staff so that their clients can be assured of a thorough process with efficient deliverables at reasonable costs.

EGM NOTICE AND VOTING ARRANGEMENT

A notice convening the EGM to be held at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, 8 May 2014 at The Jasmine Room of Ramada Hong Kong Hotel at 3rd Floor, 308 Des Voeux Road West, Hong Kong to consider and, if thought fit, approve the appointment of JH CPA is set out on pages 6 to 7 of this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of Shareholders at a general meeting must be conducted by way of poll. The chairman of the meeting will therefore demand a poll for every resolution put to the vote of the EGM in accordance with the Articles of Association of the Company. The results of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the general meeting in which the poll was demanded or required and the poll results will be published on the websites of the Stock Exchange and the Company after the EGM.

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 30 April 2013 in relation to, inter alia, the interim order (the “ Interim Order ”) granted by the Court of First Instance of the High Court of Hong Kong (the “ Court ”) on 26 April 2013 under High Court Action HCA 672 of 2013. According to the Interim Order, amongst other things, the following Shareholders (whether by himself or itself or by his or its agents or otherwise howsoever) are restrained from exercising voting rights of their respective number of Shares set out below until further order (the “ Interim Injunction ”):

  • (a) Master Impact Inc. (4th Defendant), 62,036,055 Shares

  • (b) Skyline Merit Limited (6th Defendant), 41,357,370 Shares

  • (c) Park Seung Ho (7th Defendant), 20,678,685 Shares

  • (d) Keystone Global Co. Ltd. (3rd Defendant), 42,000,000 Shares

  • (e) Kim Chul (8th Defendant), 28,200,000 Shares

  • (f) Wonang Industries Co. Ltd. (9th Defendant), 13,800,000 Shares

Accordingly, assuming that no further order is made by the Court in relation to the Interim Injunction prior to the EGM, the abovementioned Shareholders are not allowed to exercise their voting rights of their Shares and are therefore required to abstain from voting on the ordinary resolution proposed at the EGM to approve the appointment of JH CPA. For further details of the Interim Order and the Interim Injunction, please refer to the announcement of the Company dated 30 April 2013. Other than the above, no other Shareholders are required to abstain from voting on the ordinary resolution at the EGM.

A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you intend to attend and vote at such meeting, you are advised to complete the form of proxy enclosed in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited, at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong as soon as practicable but in any event no less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding such meeting or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the meeting or any adjourned meeting (as the case may be) should you so wish.
