EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

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

1. REPURCHASE OF SHARES FROM CONNECTED PARTIES

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from knowingly purchasing Shares on the Stock Exchange from a “connected person”, that is, a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective associates and a connected person is prohibited from knowingly selling his/her/its Shares to the Company.

No connected persons (as defi ned in the Listing Rules) of the Company have notifi ed the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is passed.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 405,500,000 fully paid Shares. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are to be issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 40,550,000 fully paid Shares.

3. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets per Share and/or earnings per Share. The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Share pursuant to the proposed repurchase mandate and they will exercise the power to repurchase Shares only when they believe that such repurchase will benefi t the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, repurchases would be funded entirely from the Company’s available cash fl ow or working capital facilities which will be funds legally available under the Cayman Islands law and the memorandum and articles of association of the Company for such purpose.

An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full could have a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Company compared with that as at 31 December 2010, being the date of its latest published audited consolidated accounts, in the event that the proposed repurchases were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. The Directors do not, however, intend to make any repurchase in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.

10

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

5. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months before the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Share Prices
Month Highest Lowest
(HK$) (HK$)
2010
March 0.84 0.79
April 0.99 0.78
May 0.97 0.74
June 0.87 0.68
July 0.86 0.77
August 0.92 0.81
September 0.84 0.79
October 0.86 0.80
November 0.80 0.73
December 0.73 0.66
2011
January 1.28 0.72
February 1.28 1.05
March (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 1.30 0.80

6. EFFECTS OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition pursuant to 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 general offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, the controlling Shareholders, comprising Mr. Chen Weirong, Mr. Zhang Zhilin, Mr. Cheng Wusheng and Mr. Luo Chaoen who act in concert (the “Controlling Shareholder”), are aggregately interested in 51.79% of the total issued share capital of the Company. Assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM and in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares in accordance with the Repurchase Mandate, the total interest of the Controlling Shareholder would be increased to 57.55% of the total issued share capital of the Company. In such circumstances, the Controlling Shareholder will not be obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors are not aware of any shareholder or a group of shareholders acting in concert who may become obliged to make a mandatory general offer under the Takeovers Code as a result of share repurchase by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate. The Directors presently have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate.

11

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX II

7. SHARES REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

No repurchases of Shares have been made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceeding the Latest Practicable Date.

8. DIRECTOR’S 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 to the Company or its subsidiaries Shares if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders at the AGM.

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 in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
