On 11 April 2005, the Vendor entered into the Sale & Purchase Agreement with the Purchaser to dispose of its interests in the Property for cash consideration of HK$2,300,000.

The following is a summary of the principal terms of the Sale & Purchase Agreement:

Property: Factory Unit C, 10th Floor, Mai Shun Industrial Building, 18-24 Kwai Cheong Road, Kwai Chung, New Territories, Hong Kong Date: 11 April 2005 Vendor: Anex Electrical Company Limited, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company Purchaser: Mr. Wong Kung Yue, who is an Independent Third Party Consideration: HK$2,300,000.00 paid in the following manner: HK$230,000.00 paid as deposit on 14 April 2005 HK$2,070,000.00 paid on the Completion Date as balance of the purchase price for the Disposal Completion: The completion of the Disposal took place on the Completion Date.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The consideration for the Property was arrived at pursuant to arm’s length negotiations between the parties having regard to the book value of the Property as well as the property market in Hong Kong. Having also considered the price offered by the Purchaser the Board saw it as a good opportunity to realise the Property so that the Company’s assets could be utilised in a more effective way and which would assist in reducing the gearing levels of the Company and reduce interest expenses. The proceeds realised has been applied as general working capital of the Group.

The consideration for the Disposal amounting to HK$2,300,000.00 is the same as the aggregate audited book value of the Property which was HK$2,300,000.00 as at 31 March 2005. The fixed assets of the Company as at 31 March 2006 will be reduced by the book value of the Property of HK$2,300,000.00. Upon completion of the Disposal, cash in hand was increased by the consideration for the Disposal which is also HK$2,300,000.00. The Disposal has resulted in a book loss of approximately HK$26,117.00 for the year ending 31 March 2006, being the effect on earnings as a result of the Disposal.

Save as disclosed, the Disposal does not have any material effect on the earnings, assets and liabilities of the Company or the Group.

Taking into account the abovementioned factors, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Disposal are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the shareholders of the Company as a whole.

FURTHER INFORMATION

Your attention is drawn to the additional information set out in the Appendix.
