Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSALS FOR INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL ISSUE OF BONUS SHARES GRANT OF GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES AND RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

1. INTRODUCTION

The primary purpose of this circular is to provide you with information in respect of the resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting and to give you notice of the Annual General Meeting. Resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting include, in addition to the ordinary business, ordinary resolutions relating to:

  • (i) the proposed increase in the authorised share capital of the Company;

  • For identification purpose only

4

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (ii) the proposed Bonus Issue; and

  • (iii) the proposed grant of the Issue Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate.

2. INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY

In contemplation of the Bonus Issue to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting and in order to provide for flexibility to accommodate future expansion and growth of the Group, the Company proposes to seek the approval of the Shareholders of increasing its authorised share capital from HK$200,000,000 to HK$5,000,000,000 by the creation of an additional 48,000,000,000 new Shares.

3. BONUS ISSUE

Basis of the Bonus Issue

In conjunction with the announcement of the Company dated 29 June 2007 of the audited results of the Company and its subsidiaries for the financial year ended 31 March 2007, the Directors recommended, among others, to make a bonus issue of Shares, credited as fully paid, by way of capitalisation of part of the Company’s share premium account, on the basis of six Bonus Shares for every one existing Share held by the Shareholders whose name appear on the Register on the Record Date.

Status of the Bonus Shares

The Bonus Shares will, subject to the Memorandum of Association and the Articles of Association, rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares from their date of issue except that they will not rank for any dividend declared or recommended by the Company in respect of the financial year ended 31 March 2007.

Fractions of the Bonus Shares

Fractional entitlements to the Bonus Shares will not be allotted to Shareholders and will be aggregated and sold for the benefit of the Company.

Effect to the shareholding on the Bonus Issue

The existing authorised share capital of the Company is HK$200,000,000 divided into 2,000,000,000 Shares. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue was 1,068,000,000 Shares. On this basis and assuming there is no issue or repurchase of Shares prior to the Record Date, a total of 6,408,000,000 Bonus Shares will be issued under the Bonus Issue and the amount of HK$640,800,000, being part of the Company’s share premium account, will be capitalised and applied in paying up in full of the 6,408,000,000 Bonus Shares. After completion of the Bonus Issue, there will be a total of 7,476,000,000 Shares in the enlarged issued share capital of the Company. The Bonus Shares representing (i) 600% of the existing issued share capital of the Company and (ii) approximately 85.71% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the Bonus Shares.

5

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Conditions of the Bonus Issue

The Bonus Issue is conditional upon (i) the passing at the Annual General Meeting of the ordinary resolution to approve the Bonus Issue and (ii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting listing of and permission to deal in the Shares to be issued under the Bonus Issue.

Closure of register of members

The Register will be closed from Wednesday, 1 August 2007 to Monday, 6 August 2007 (both days inclusive) in order to determine entitlements of Shareholders to the final dividend proposed by the Directors for the financial year ended 31 March 2007 and the Bonus Issue, as well as the right to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting.

In order to qualify for the proposed final dividend and the Bonus Issue, all transfers accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with the Registrar, Abacus Share Registrars Limited, at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong not later than 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, 31 July 2007.

Trading arrangements

Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the Listing of and permission to deal in the Bonus Shares. Subject to (i) the granting of the listing of and permission to deal on the Stock Exchange and (ii) the compliance with the stock admission requirements of HKSCC, the Bonus Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the date on which dealings in the Bonus Shares commence on the Stock Exchange or such other date as shall be determined by HKSCC. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.

Settlement of transactions between members of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second trading day thereafter.

The Bonus Shares will be traded in board lots of 2,000 each. It is expected that certificates for the Bonus Shares will be posted to Shareholders on Monday, 13 August, 2007 at their own risk and the first date of dealing in the Bonus Shares will be on or about Wednesday, 15 August 2007.

The Shares are not listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange. The Directors do not intend to apply for listing of and permission to deal in the Bonus Shares on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange.

Stamp duty in Hong Kong will be payable in respect of dealings in the Bonus Shares.

Shareholders resident outside Hong Kong

As at the Latest Practicable Date and based on information provided by the Registrar to the Company, none of the Shareholders as recorded on the Register had address(es) which is/are outside Hong Kong.

6

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

If, as at the close of business on the Record Date, a Shareholder’s address as recorded on the Register is in a place outside Hong Kong, the Shareholder may not be eligible to participate in the Bonus Issue. If necessary, the Board will make enquiries as to whether the Bonus Issue to the Overseas Shareholder(s) may contravene the applicable securities legislation of the relevant overseas places or the requirements of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange. If, after making such enquiry, the Board is of the opinion that it would be necessary or expedient, on account either of the legal restrictions under the laws of the relevant place or any requirement of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange in that place, not to offer to such Overseas Shareholder(s), no issue of the Bonus Shares will be made to such Overseas Shareholders. Such Overseas Shareholder(s) receiving a copy of this circular outside Hong Kong may not treat the same as an invitation to participate in the Bonus Issue unless such invitation could lawfully be made to such Overseas Shareholder(s) without having to comply with any registration or other legal requirements in the relevant territory. In the circumstances, such Overseas Shareholder(s) will not be permitted to participate in the Bonus Issue and the benefit thereof will accrue to the Company.

4. GRANT OF ISSUE MANDATE, REPURCHASE MANDATE AND EXTENSION MANDATE

Pursuant to the resolutions passed by the independent Shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company held on 1 February 2007, the Directors were granted (a) a general unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue at the time of passing of the relevant resolution and the approval to extend such general unconditional mandate to the Shares that are allowed to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the general mandate granted to the Directors at the Last AGM (by an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue at the time of passing of the relevant resolution by the Shareholders at the Last AGM).

The above general mandates will expire at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. At the Annual General Meeting, the following resolutions, among other matters, will be proposed:

  • (a) to grant the Issue Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue or otherwise deal with additional Shares up to a maximum of 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue on the date of passing of such resolution;

  • (b) to grant the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to enable them to repurchase Shares on the Stock Exchange up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue on the date of passing of such resolution; and

  • (c) to grant the Extension Mandate to the Directors to increase the total number of Shares which may be allotted and issued under the Issue Mandate by an additional number representing such number of Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate.

The Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate will expire at the earliest of: (a) the conclusion of the annual general meeting of the Company next following the Annual General Meeting; (b) the date by which the next annual general meeting is required by the Articles of Association or the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (c) when the authority given to the Directors thereunder is revoked or

7

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

varied by ordinary resolution(s) of the Shareholders in a general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plans to allot and issue any new Shares (other than such Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued upon exercise of any options which may be granted under the existing share option scheme of the Company) pursuant to the Issue Mandate (as extended by the Extension Mandate) or to repurchase any existing Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

The Directors are of the view that:

  • (i) the grant of the Issue Mandate (as extended by the Extension Mandate) will provide the flexibility to the Company to take advantage of market conditions to raise additional capital for the Company as and when the opportunity arises; and

  • (ii) the grant of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share. The Repurchase Mandate will only be exercised when the Directors believe that repurchases of Shares will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

Under the Listing Rules, the Company is required to give the Shareholders all information which is reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision as to whether to vote for or against the resolution in respect of the Repurchase Mandate at the Annual General Meeting. An explanatory statement for such purpose is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

5. RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

According to Article 87(1) of the Articles of Association, at each annual general meeting, onethird of the Directors for the time being, or if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not less than one-third, shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director, including those appointed for a specific term, shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years.

According to Article 87(2) of the Articles of Association, a retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election. The Directors to retire by rotation shall include (so far as necessary to obtain the number required) any Director who wishes to retire and not to offer himself for re-election. Any further Directors so to retire shall be those who have been longest in office since their last re-election or appointment and so that as between persons who became or were last re-elected Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot.

Pursuant to Articles 87(1) and 87(2) of the Articles of Association, Mr Cheng Wai Man and Mr Zhou Yao Ming will retire and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

Biographical information of each of Mr Cheng Wai Man and Mr Zhou Yao Ming, who are proposed to be re-elected at the Annual General Meeting, is set out in Appendix III to this circular.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to approve the grant of the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors.

1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their securities on the Stock Exchange and any other stock exchange on which securities of the company are listed and such exchange is recognized by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the Listing Rules provide that the shares of such company must be fully paid up and all repurchases of shares by such company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, either by way of a general mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were a total of 1,068,000,000 Shares in issue.

Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 106,800,000 Shares, representing 10% of the aggregate nominal value of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing securities, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum of association and the Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. A listed company may not repurchase its own securities on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Under the Companies Law, repurchases by the Company may only be made out of funds of the Company available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose, or out of capital paid up on such Shares. Any premium payable on a purchase over the par value of the Shares to be purchased must be provided for out of funds of the Company available for dividend or distribution or out of the Company’s reserves account (including the share premium account) before the Shares are repurchased.

Taking into account the current working capital position of the Group, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate were to be exercised in full, it might have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Group as compared with the position as at 31 March 2007, being the date of the latest published audited financial statements of the Company. However, the Directors do not intend to make any repurchases to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Group which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Group.

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:

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases under the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and in accordance with the regulations set out in the memorandum of association of the Company and the Articles of Association.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

7. CONNECTED PERSON

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if the same is approved by the Shareholders.

No connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

8. THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

If on the Company exercising the powers of repurchase 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 (as defined in the Takeovers Code) 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, according to the register kept by the Company pursuant to section 336 of the SFO and so far as is known to, or can be ascertained after reasonable enquiry by the Directors, Automatic Result held (and Mr Tong Kit Shing and Mr Liu Guoyao each was deemed to hold) approximately 32.59% in the issued share capital of the Company. On the basis that there were 1,068,000,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that there are no issue or repurchase of Shares prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting, the aggregate shareholding of Automatic Result would increase to approximately 36.21% of the issued share capital of the Company if the Repurchase Mandate were exercised in full.

On the basis of the shareholding of Automatic Result as at the Latest Practicable Date, an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full will result in Automatic Result becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as disclosed, the Directors are not aware of any consequence which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchase pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in (i) any obligations to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code or (ii) the number of Shares in public hands falling below the minimum percentage of 25% prescribed under the Listing Rules.

9. SHARE PURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company has not repurchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
