LETTER FROM THE BOARD

B. THE TRANSFER AGREEMENT

Date: 8 May 2007 Transferor: Max Surplus, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company Transferee: Mr. Liu

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, the Transferee is a third party independent of and not connected with the Group and the connected persons of the Company.

Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the Transferor agrees to transfer 100% equity interest in Mission Holdings to the Transferee, subject to the terms and conditions thereof.

C. CONSIDERATION

Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the Transferor agrees to transfer 100% equity interest in Mission Holdings to the Transferee, at the Consideration of HK$9,920,000 (equivalent to RMB9,780,000), which was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Transferor and the Transferee and was determined by reference to the unaudited net asset value of Mudanjiang Huali, a subsidiary which is held directly as to 85% by Mission Holdings, as at 31 March 2007 as shown in its management accounts, and the value as assessed by an independent valuer engaged by the Group as at 31 March 2007. According to the valuation report, the book value (after adjustment) of the net assets of Mudanjiang Huali as at 31 March 2007 amounted to approximately HK$10,800,000, and the net assets of Mudanjiang Huali as at 31 March 2007 as valued by the valuer amounted to approximately HK$10,820,000.

D. PAYMENT TERMS

The Consideration shall be satisfied by the Transferee in the following manner:

  • (a) within 3 days from the date of the Transfer Agreement, the Transferee shall pay 50% of the Consideration to the Transferor;

  • (b) the remaining 50% of the Consideration shall be paid by the Transferee to the Transferor on or before 20 May 2007.

If the total sum of the balances of the account receivables and inventories netting of the account payables of Mudanjiang Huali as at 31 March 2007 as confirmed by both the Transferor and the Transferee is less than the total sum of the balances of the account receivables and inventories netting of the account payables of Mudanjiang Huali as reported in the management accounts of Mudanjiang Huali as at 31 March 2007 for an amount over RMB100,000 (except the discrepancy is caused by applying different accounting standards for the preparation of the financial statements), the Transferor shall compensate the Transferee for the amount equivalent to the portion in excess of RMB100,000.

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Within 90 days from the date of the Transfer Agreement, Mudanjiang Huali could be operated under its original name “ ”. Upon expiration of such period, the Transferee shall procure Mudanjiang Huali to change its name and refrain from using any trade name containing the word “ ”.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Transferor has received HK$9,230,000 (equivalent to RMB9,100,000) from the Transferee.

E. COMPLETION

Completion will take place when the Consideration has been fully paid by the Transferee to the Transferor and the formalities in regard to the Equity Interest Transfer have been completed, including the approval of transfer of share from the Transferor to the Transferee by the board of directors of Mission Holdings. Upon Completion, the Company will cease to have any direct or indirect equity interest in Mission Holdings and Mudanjiang Huali (as the case may be), and both companies will cease to be subsidiaries of the Company.

F. INFORMATION OF MISSION HOLDINGS AND MUDANJIANG HUALI

Mission Holdings is an investment holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with paid-up share capital of US$1.00. Its only asset is the holding of 85% equity interest of Mudanjiang Huali, a Sino-foreign equity joint venture enterprise incorporated in the PRC and is principally engaged in manufacturing and operating of cartons and other packaging materials. Save as the equity interest in Mudanjiang Huali, Mission Holdings does not have any other investment or operations.

G. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The net profits (both before and after taxation and extraordinary items) attributable to the shareholders of Mudanjiang Huali for the two financial years ending 31 December 2006, were approximately HK$2,055,000 and HK$1,830,000 respectively. As a result of the Equity Interest Transfer pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the Group expects to record an unaudited gain of approximately HK$731,000 by reference to the Group’s share of Mudanjiang Huali’s net book value of approximately HK$9,183,000 as at 31 March 2007. The net proceeds of HK$9,872,000 of the Equity Interest Transfer are intended to be used for general working capital purposes.

H. REASONS FOR THE EQUITY INTEREST TRANSFER

Taking into account Mudanjiang Huali situated at a relatively remote location and the Group’s plan to centralize its operations at economically-developed cities in the PRC, the Directors consider it is in the Group’s long term interest in disposing Mission Holdings at a premium. The Directors consider that the terms of the Equity Interest Transfer and the Transfer Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the shareholders of the Company as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

I. INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The Group is principally engaged in the manufacture of quality paper-based packaging containers and materials, including corrugated paperboard and printed cartons for customers in the PRC.

J. INFORMATION OF THE TRANSFEREE

The Transferee is a businessman principally engaged in packaging industry. He is the legal representative of two PRC companies which are principally engaged in the manufacture of packaging containers and materials and the manufacture of plastic products respectively.

K. FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE EQUITY INTEREST TRANSFER

Based on the unaudited net asset value of Mudanjiang Huali of approximately HK$10,800,000 as at 31 March 2007, the Equity Interest Transfer is expected to generate a gain of approximately HK$731,000 to the Group. The consolidated net assets of the Group will be increased by approximately HK$731,000 upon the Completion. Upon Completion, the assets and liabilities of Mudanjiang Huali will no longer be accounted for in the Group’s financial statements.

L. DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION

As the relevant percentage ratios in respect of the Equity Interest Transfer are more than 5% but less than 25%, the Equity Interest Transfer constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of Listing Rules.

M. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Your attention is also drawn to the additional information set out in the appendix to this circular.
