LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Completion:

The Subscription is to be completed on the second business day after satisfaction of the Subscription Conditions or such other date as the parties may agree. The Subscription Agreement will lapse if the Subscription Conditions are not satisfied by 17 October 2007, unless the parties agree otherwise.

Reasons for the subscription

In view of the current robust market conditions and a positive future outlook for the stock market, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Subscription represents an opportunity to raise capital for the Company. Ms. LO is well acquainted with the Company and had previously been a substantial shareholder of the Company, holding a 29.28% shareholding of the Company. However, she ceased to be a substantial shareholder of the Company on 17 January 2005 and, as at the date of the Latest Practicable Date, she did not own any Shares.

The Directors have taken into account the Company’s previous fund raising exercises and had made enquiries to other potential investors but did not receive a better offer price. On such basis, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms and conditions of the Subscription (including the discounts referred to in the section headed “Subscription price” above) are fair and reasonable and the Subscription is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

As at the date of the Latest Practicable Date, there is no intention that Ms. LO will become a director of the Company or will nominate a director of the Company after completion of the Subscription.

The net price raised per Share will be about HK$0.191 per Share. The debt repayment is in respect of an outstanding loan balance due by the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. PROPOSALS FOR RENEWAL OF GENERAL MANDATES

July 2007 Issue Mandate

At the extraordinary general meeting held on 11 July 2007, the Shareholders approved, amongst other things, an ordinary resolution to grant to the Directors the July 2007 Issue Mandate to issue Shares not exceeding 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the resolution. At the date of the passing of that resolution, there were 1,708,828,331 Shares in issue and the Directors were granted a mandate to allot and issue up to 341,765,666 new Shares.

As disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 12 July 2007, the Company agreed to place through Chung Nam Securities Limited 341,765,666 Shares at a price of HK$0.20 per Share. The July 2007 Placing was completed on 25 July 2007, as a result of which the July 2007 Issue Mandate was fully utilised. The July 2007 Placing raised net proceeds of approximately HK$66.39 million and was used for general working capital of the Group.

Proposed New Issue Mandate

At the EGM, it is proposed by way of ordinary resolution that the Directors of the Company be given a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to issue new Shares in the Company up to 20% of the issued share capital of the Company on the date of the EGM. Based on the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date of 2,050,593,997 Shares and there are no further changes in the issued share capital until the date of the EGM, the New Issue Mandate will allow the Directors allot and issue up to 410,118,799 new Shares. In addition, it is further proposed, by way of a separate ordinary resolution, that the New Issue Mandate be extended so that the Directors of the Company be given a general mandate to issue further shares in the Company equal to the aggregate nominal value of the Shares repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate, provided that such extended amount does not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue of the Company as at the date of the EGM.

Proposed Repurchase Mandate

At the EGM, it is proposed, by way of an ordinary resolution, that the Directors of the Company be given a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange up to a maximum of 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the EGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

An explanatory statement containing information relating to the Repurchase Mandate as required pursuant to the Listing Rules, is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

EGM

Pursuant to Rule 13.36(4)(a) of the Listing Rules, the New Issue Mandate requires the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM at which the controlling shareholders and their associates or if there are no controlling shareholders, the Directors (excluding the independent non-executive directors) and their associates shall abstain from voting in favour of the resolution to be proposed in respect of the New Issue Mandate. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company did not have any “controlling shareholder” (as such term is defined in the Listing Rules) and none of the Directors or their Associates held any shares in the Company. The Directors (excluding the independent non-executive directors) and their Associates to the extent they hold Shares, shall abstain from voting in favour of the relevant resolutions in relation to refreshment of the New Issue Mandate at the EGM pursuant to the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4)(b) of the Listing Rules, the vote of the Independent Shareholders in respect of the New Issue Mandate at the EGM will be taken by poll.

The Independent Board Committee has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders in respect of the New Issue Mandate. Menlo has been appointed as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this regard.

As far as the Directors are aware, no Shareholder has a material interest in the July 2007 Subscription. As such, no Shareholder will be required under the Listing Rules to abstain from voting on the Subscription Agreement at the EGM.

A notice convening the EGM at which resolutions will be proposed to the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the July 2007 Subscription and the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, renewal of the General Mandates and appointment of auditors of the Company is set out in pages 26 to 30 of this circular.

Dear Sirs,

RENEWAL OF THE NEW ISSUE MANDATE

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our engagement as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in connection with Renewal of the New Issue Mandate, details of which are set out in the “Letter from the Board” contained in the circular (the “Circular”) issued by the Company to the Shareholders dated 9 August 2007 of which this letter forms a part.

In order to allow the flexibility for future business development and/or fund raising, the Board proposed, among other things, to refresh the New Issue Mandate at the EGM.

– 15 –

LETTER FROM MENLO

The New Issue Mandate is proposed to the Shareholders prior to the Company’s next annual general meeting, and therefore, pursuant to Rule 13.36(4) of the Listing Rules, the New Issue Mandate will be subjected to the Independent Shareholders’ approval by way of poll at the EGM. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company did not have any controlling Shareholder (as such term is defined in the Listing Rules) and none of the Directors or their Associates held any Shares. The Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors) and their Associates to the extent they hold Shares, shall abstain from voting in favour of the relevant resolutions in relation to Renewal of the New Issue Mandate at the EGM pursuant to the Listing Rules.

The Independent Board Committee, comprising Mr. Chung Kong Fei, Stephen, Mr. Tsang Wing Ki and Mr. Chen Henri Wei Hwa, all being independent non-executive Directors, has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether the terms of the New Issue Mandate are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and whether the New Issue Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

In formulating our recommendation, we have relied on the statements, information, opinions and representations contained in the Circular and the information, facts and representations provided to us by the Directors and management of the Company. We have assumed that all information, representations and opinions contained or referred to in the Circular and all information, representations and opinions which have been provided by the Directors or management of the Company for which they are solely responsible, are true and accurate at the time they were made and will continue to be accurate at the date of the despatch of the Circular. We are also not aware that any statements of belief, opinion and intention made by the Directors in the Circular were not reasonably made after due and careful enquiry and not based on honestly-held opinions. We have no reason to doubt the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information and representations provided to us by the Directors and we have been advised by the Directors that no material facts have been omitted from the information and representations provided in and referred in the Circular.

We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to enable us to reach an informed view and to justify our reliance on the accuracy of the information and representations contained in the Circular and to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. We have not, however, carried out any independent verification of the information provided by the Directors and management of the Company, nor have we conducted an independent investigation into the business and affairs of the Company or any of its respective subsidiaries or associates.

LETTER FROM MENLO

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT

In arriving at our advice to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the New Issue Mandate, we have taken the following principal factors and reasons into consideration:

I. Background

The Company is an investment company set up under Chapter 21 of the Listing Rules and is principally engaged in the investments in listed and unlisted securities.

At the extraordinary general meeting of the Company held on 11 July 2007, the Shareholders approved, among other things, an ordinary resolution to grant to the Directors the July 2007 Issue Mandate to allot and issue up to 341,765,666 Shares, which is equivalent to 20% of the then issued share capital of the Company.

During the period from the date of grant of the July 2007 Issue Mandate to the Latest Practicable Date, the July 2007 Issue Mandate had been fully utilised as a result of the completion of the July 2007 Placing on 25 July 2007 pursuant to which 341,765,666 Shares were issued and allotted. Following the completion of the July 2007 Placing, the Company has 2,050,593,997 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

II. Current resources and financial flexibility

As set out in the 2006 annual report of the Group, the bank balances and cash of the Group as at 31 December 2006 was HK$576,359. During the period from 31 December 2006 to the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has conducted three fund raising activities to raise a total net proceeds of approximately HK$251.1 million, comprising (i) the rights issue as announced on 12 March 2007 to raise approximately HK$116 million for investment in equity pursuant to the investment objectives adopted by the Company; (ii) the placing of Shares as announced on 4 June 2007 to raise approximately HK$68.7 million for general working capital; and (iii) the placing of Shares pursuant to the July 2007 Placing as announced on 12 July 2007 to raise approximately HK$66.4 million for general working capital.

LETTER FROM MENLO

As confirmed by the Company, the net proceeds of the above three fund raising activities were fully utilised as intended. Based on the above, we share the view of the Directors who confirmed that the existing cash resources of the Group are sufficient for its daily operations and the Group has sufficient working capital to meet its present requirements. However, there is no certainty that such cash resources will be adequate for appropriate investments that may be identified by the Company in the future. In the event that the Group identifies a suitable investment opportunity but does not have sufficient cash resources on hand, and if it fails to obtain debt financing on terms which the Directors consider acceptable to the Group or raise funds from the equity capital market, or it cannot find other alternatives to finance the acquisition of such investment opportunities in a timely manner, the Group may lose its bid for an otherwise favourable investment. The Group will be in a disadvantageous position if it is unable to obtain sufficient funds in a timely manner to finance a potential investment.

In order to provide a flexible mean for the Company to raise further funds through the issue of new Shares for general working capital and/or for its future business development including but not limited for potential acquisition opportunities, the Board proposed, among other things, to refresh the New Issue Mandate for the Directors to issue and allot new Shares not exceeding 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the EGM and to extend by a separate resolution to include the Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate. Based on the 2,050,593,997 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that no further Shares are repurchased and issued prior to the EGM, subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolutions to approve the New Issue Mandate at the EGM, the Directors will be authorised to allot and issue up to a limit of 410,118,799 Shares under the New Issue Mandate. The Directors consider that the New Issue Mandate will enhance the flexibility for the Company to manage its business and therefore the New Issue Mandate is fair and reasonable and the granting of the New Issue Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

In view of the above, we consider that the granting of the New Issue Mandate could enhance the financing flexibility of the Company to raise capital and to strengthen the capital base of the Group, if and when required, through placing of Shares for further development of the Group. In addition, the Directors consider that if investment or acquisition opportunities arise, a decision may have to be made within a short period of time. The New Issue Mandate could provide the Group with the maximum flexibility as allowed under the Listing Rules to allot and issue new Shares to raise capital through placement of Shares as consideration for funding such potential investments and/or acquisitions in the future as and when such opportunities arise. The increase in the amount of capital which may be raised under the New Issue Mandate would improve the overall financial position of the Group which in turn could provide more options for financing to the Group when assessing and negotiating potential investments and/or acquisitions in a timely manner.

LETTER FROM MENLO

III. Other financing alternatives

In appropriate circumstances, other than raising funds by way of issuing equity capital, the Directors will also consider other financing methods such as debt financing or internal cash resources to fund its future business development, depending on the then financial position of the Group. As advised by the Directors, in addition to the raising of funds by way of issuing equity capital as mentioned under the section headed “Current resources and financial flexibility” in this letter above, the Group has only occasionally utilised short-term debt financing in the past 12 months which were normally fully paid off as and when funds were available.

Subject to the then market condition, the Directors will consider and conducting an equity fund raising exercise by issuing Shares, which may or may not result in the exercise of the New Issue Mandate, to prepare for future business development of the Group. The Directors confirmed that they have not identified any specific investment and they are not certain whether or not there will be any issue of Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

As advised by the Directors, the New Issue Mandate provides another alternative to the Directors to raise financing for the Group’s businesses and the Directors will use such method of financing which serves the best interests of the Group. We consider that it is sensible and reasonable for the Directors to make reference to the then financial position of the Group in order to decide on the financing method for the future development of the Group.

Note:

  1. Heritage International Holdings Limited (stock code: 412), a company listed on the Stock Exchange, is interested in the share capital of the Company indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Coupeville Limited, and its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Dollar Group Limited, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Coupeville Limited.

As can be seen from the above table, the aggregate shareholding of the existing public Shareholders will be decreased from approximately 90.25% as at the Latest Practicable Date to approximately 62.51% upon full utilisation of the New Issue Mandate assuming the completion of the July 2007 Subscription takes place before any utilisation of the New Issue Mandate.

LETTER FROM MENLO

Taken into account that (i) the New Issue Mandate provides a financial flexibility to the Group for further development of its business as well as in other potential investments and/or acquisitions as and when such opportunities arises in the future; (ii) the New Issue Mandate provides an alternative to raise new equity capital for the Company; and (iii) the shareholding of all the Shareholders will be diluted in proportion to their respective shareholdings upon any utilisation of the New Issue Mandate, we consider that the above potential dilution to the shareholding of the Independent Shareholders to be justifiable.

V. Terms of the New Issue Mandate

Shareholders should note that the July 2007 Issue Mandate (subject to the extent that such authority has not been exercised) will be revoked upon approval at the EGM of the New Issue Mandate and the New Issue Mandate will be in force until the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the Company’s next annual general meeting; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting is required by the articles of association of the Company or the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the authority given under the relevant resolution to approve the New Issue Mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting of the Company.

We are of the view that the terms of the New Issue Mandate are normal and the granting of the authority to allot, issue and otherwise deal with Shares of up to 20% of the issued share capital of the Company to the Directors under the General Mandates are the within the ordinary course of businesses of the Company.

OPINION

Having taken into consideration that (i) the Group has conducted three fund raising activities in the past 12 months; (ii) the proceeds of the rights issue and placing of Shares as announced in June 2007 and the July 2007 Placing were utilised as intended; (iii) the New Issue Mandate may provide additional funds in a timely manner to finance a potential investment; (iv) all the Shareholders will be diluted in proportion to their respective shareholdings upon any utilisation of the New Issue Mandate; (v) the terms of the New Issue Mandate are normal; and (vi) the granting of the authority to allot, issue and otherwise deal with Shares of up to 20% of the issued share capital of the Company to the Directors under the General Mandates are the within the ordinary course of businesses of the Company, we are of the opinion that the Renewal of the New Issue Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM MENLO

RECOMMENDATION

Having taken into consideration of the above principal factors and reasons, we are of the view that the New Issue Mandate is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and is in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution(s) to be proposed at the EGM to approve the New Issue Mandate.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide information in relation to the Repurchase Mandate for your consideration.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 2,050,593,997 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the date of the EGM, the Company would be authorised to repurchase up to a maximum of 205,059,399 Shares.

REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to have general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange. Such repurchase may, depending on marketing conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.

FUNDING OF THE REPURCHASES

In repurchasing the securities, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and the laws of the Cayman Islands. Any purchases may be made out of profits or out of an issue of new Shares made for the purpose of the purchase or, if authorised by its articles of association and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital.

There may/may not be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the latest published audited accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December, 2006), in the event that the proposed Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors 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 or the gearing levels of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the proposed resolution in accordance with the Listing Rules and the laws of the Cayman Islands.

EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If a shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases as a result of the Directors exercising the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purpose of the Hong Kong Codes on Takeovers and Mergers (“Takeovers Code”). Accordingly, a shareholder or group of shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, Dollar Group Limited held 199,928,000 Shares, representing approximately 9.75% of the existing issued share capital of the Company, and will hold approximately 10.83% of the issued share capital of the Company in the event the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full based on the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Assuming that there are no alterations to the existing shareholdings in the Company, so far as the Directors are aware, the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full will not give rise to any obligation on the part of Dollar Group Limited (and parties acting in concert with it) to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

No repurchase of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) has been made by the Company during the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
