CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “EXCHANGE”)

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

PROPOSED GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

At the AGM, it will be proposed, by way of an ordinary resolution, that the Directors be given a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase on the Growth Enterprise Market (“GEM”) of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”) shares in the Company up to a maximum of 10 per cent. of the shares of the Company in issue at the date of passing the ordinary resolution (the “Repurchase Mandate”).

The Repurchase Mandate, if approved, will continue in force until the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company or until revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders of the Company in general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting.

An explanatory statement containing information relating to the Repurchase Mandate and as required pursuant to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM of the Stock Exchange (the “Listing Rules”), in particular Rule 13.08, is set out in the Appendix II of this circular.

The Company has in issue an aggregate of 663,200,000 Shares as at 1st April 2009, being the latest practicable date (the “Latest Practicable Date”) prior to the printing of this circular. The Company would be allowed to allot additional Shares up to the aggregate nominal amount of a maximum of 132,640,000 Shares on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the AGM. In addition, it is further proposed, by way of another ordinary resolution, that the Issue Mandate be extended so that the Directors be given a general mandate to issue further shares in the Company of an aggregate nominal amount equal to the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate. Any issue of new shares in the Company is subject to approval from the Stock Exchange for the listing of and permission to deal in such new shares.

APPENDIX I

PARTICULARS OF DIRECTOR PROPOSED TO BE RE-ELECTED AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Mr. Pao Ping Wing , aged 61, is an independent non-executive director and Chairman of the audit committee of the Company. He joined the Group in December 2003. Mr. Pao was nominated Justice of the Peace in Hong Kong in 1987. He is also an independent non-executive director of “Oriental Press Group Ltd.”, “Zhuzhou CSR Times Electric Company Limited”, “Hembly International Holdings Limited”, “UDL Holdings Limited”, and “Maoye International Holdings Limited”. These five companies are listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

Save as disclosed above, Mr. Pao did not hold any directorship in any other listed companies in the last three years.

Mr. Pao does not have any relationship with any directors, senior management, management shareholders, substantial or controlling shareholders of the Company. He also does not have any interests in shares of the Company within the meaning of Part XV of the Securities and Futures Ordinance.

Mr. Pao entered into a service contract with the Company for a term of two years which commenced on 22nd December, 2003 and will continue thereafter for further successive periods of one year, provided that either party may terminate this appointment at any time after by giving one month’s written notice. Mr. Pao is currently entitled to an annual remuneration of HK$72,000 or such other sum as the Company may from time to time decide and this was determined based on prevailing market practice, his duties, responsibilities, contribution to the Company and the remuneration of other independent non-executive directors of the Company at the time the agreement was entered into.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

The following is the Explanatory Statement required to be sent to shareholders pursuant to Rule 13.08 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM of the Stock Exchange (“GEM Listing Rules”) in connection with the proposed Repurchase Mandate which, if approved, would authorise directors of the Company to purchase shares of HK$0.01 each (“Shares”) in the Company.

(a) SHAREHOLDERS’ APPROVAL

The Company may only purchase its Shares on GEM if:

• (i) the Shares proposed to be issued by the Company are fully-paid up;

• (ii) the Company has previously sent to its shareholders this Explanatory Statement; and

• (iii) the shareholders of the Company have in general meeting approved the Repurchase Mandate and the relevant documents in connection therewith have been delivered to the Stock Exchange.

(b) NUMBER OF SHARES WHICH MAY BE REPURCHASED

Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate, on the basis of 663,200,000 shares in issue as at 1st April, 2009 (being the latest practicable date (the “Latest Practicable Date”) for ascertaining certain information prior to the printing of this circular), would result in 66,320,000 shares (representing 10% of the total issued share capital of the Company) being repurchased by the Company during the period prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate.

(c) REASONS FOR PROPOSED REPURCHASE OF SHARES

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

– 6 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

(d) SOURCE OF FUNDS

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its bye-laws, the GEM Listing Rules and the laws of Bermuda. The Company shall not repurchase Shares on GEM 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.

(e) EFFECT OF EXERCISING THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

There will not be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements contained in the 2008 annual report of the Company) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse impact on the working capital requirements of the Company or on the gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate of the Company.

(f) WHO MAY SELL SHARES IN THE EVENT THE REPURCHASE MANDATE IS EXERCISED

The GEM Listing Rules prohibit the Company from knowingly repurchasing shares from a “connected person”, that is, a director, chief executive, substantial shareholder or management shareholder of the Company or any of their associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules). A connected person (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) shall not knowingly sell his shares to the Company.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no connected person (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell shares to the Company in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchases of shares.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules), has any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved, to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

(g) DIRECTORS’ UNDERTAKING

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 GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

(h) THE HONG KONG CODE ON TAKEOVERS AND MERGERS

If, as a result of a repurchase of shares, 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 the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the “Code”). As a result, a shareholder, or a group of shareholders acting in concert (within that term’s meaning under the Code), depending on the level of increase in the shareholders interests, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 and 32 of the Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Goldcorp Industrial Limited, which was an initial management shareholder of the Company, held approximately 50.94% of the issued shares. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase shares of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Ordinary Resolution no. 4B to be proposed at the AGM, the total interests of Goldcorp Industrial Limited in the existing share capital of the Company would be proportionally increased to approximately 56.60%. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors are not aware of any consequences for Goldcorp Industrial Limited under the Code as a result, solely, of the Directors exercising the Repurchase Mandate in full.

(i) NO REPURCHASES OF SHARES BY THE COMPANY

The Company has not repurchased any shares in the previous six months.
