EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
This is the explanatory statement to provide requisite information to the Shareholders of the Company for their consideration of the Repurchase Mandate, as required by Listing Rules.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue were 464,070,000.
Subject to the passing of the resolution number 4(B) set out in the AGM Notice, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 46,407,000 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital (assuming there will be no change in the issued share capital of the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the AGM and the outstanding options to subscribe for 19,622,600 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date are not exercised before the AGM).
2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. 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 a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE
In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Memorandum and Articles and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The laws of the Cayman Islands provide that the amount of capital paid in connection with a share repurchase may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant shares, or the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose. The amount of premium payable on a repurchase may only be paid out of either the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the share premium account of the Company. The Directors have no intention to repurchase any Shares of the Company but it will only undertake such purchases applying legally available funds from the Company’s internal resources and/or proceeds of an issue of new Shares and/or available banking facilities.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
There might be an adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated accounts contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 March 2006 (a copy of the annual report containing the audited consolidated accounts for the year ended 31 March 2006 is sent to the Shareholders together with this circular) in the event that the proposed shares repurchase was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extend as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
4. SHARE PRICES
Trading in the Shares of the Company was suspended since 29 September 2005 up to the date of this circular. The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange during the month of July, August 2005 and before 28 September 2005, were as follows:
| Shares | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Highest | Lowest | ||||
| HK$ | HK$ | ||||
| 2005 | |||||
| July | 0.400 | 0.290 | |||
| August | 0.420 | 0.295 | |||
| before | 28 | September | 0.390 | 0.300 |
5. UNDERTAKING
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if such is approved by the Shareholders.
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 Repurchase Mandate and in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
No other connected persons have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
6. TAKEOVERS CODE
If on exercise of the powers of repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, 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 Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, 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 Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.
At as the Latest Practicable Date, so far as the Directors were aware, the substantial Shareholder of the Company (within the meaning of the Listing Rules) is Billion Boom Investments Limited (“BBIL”) which is interested in 63,900,000 Shares, representing approximately 13.77% of the issued share capital of the Company. BBIL is owned as to 75% by Ms. You Wei and 25% by Mr. Ng Khai Wain, the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company respectively.
Ms. You is also the owner of 1,380,000 Shares (representing approximately 0.30% of the Company’s issued share capital). She and one of her family relatives are the joint owners of 300,000 Shares (representing approximately 0.06% of the Company’s issued share capital).
Mr. Ng is the sole beneficial owner of Triumph Sky International Limited, which in turn is the beneficial owner of 19,000,000 Shares (representing approximately 4.09% of the Company’s issued share capital).
In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate (on the basis of 464,070,000 Shares in issued before the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate), the attributable shareholdings of BBIL and parties acting in concert with it would be increased to approximately 18.23% of the then issued share capital. Such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
7. SHARE PURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company has not purchased any of its Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the date of this circular.
