In order to give the Company the flexibility to repurchase and issue Shares if and when appropriate, the following ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the grant of new general mandates to the Directors:
-
(a) to allot, issue or deal with Shares of an aggregate nominal amount of up to 20% of the total nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue on the date of passing such resolution (i.e. an aggregate nominal amount of Shares up to HK$9,660,812.96 (equivalent to 966,081,296 Shares) assuming that the total number of Shares in issue remains the same at 4,830,406,481 Shares from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of passing such resolution);

(b) to purchase Shares on the Stock Exchange of an aggregate nominal amount of up to 10% of the total nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company on the date of passing such resolution (i.e. an aggregate nominal amount of Shares up to HK$4,830,406.48 (equivalent to 483,040,648 Shares) assuming that the total number of Shares in issue remains the same at 4,830,406,481 Shares from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of passing such resolution); and
-
(c) to extend the General Mandate by an amount representing the aggregate nominal amount of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the Repurchase Mandate.

CHANGE OF AUDITORS
KTC Partners CPA Limited will retire as auditors of the Company upon expiration of its current term of office at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting and will not seek for reappointment.
The Board has resolved to propose to appoint Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu as the new auditors of the Company to fill the vacancy following the retirement of KTC Partners CPA Limited and to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company in the year 2015, subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
The Board is of the view that an international audit firm could provide better support and more auxiliary services to the Group to cope with its business development strategies. Having regard to the resources and experience of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, it would be in the best interests of the Company and the shareholders of the Company as a whole to appoint Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu as the new auditors of the Group.
KTC Partners CPA Limited has confirmed to the Company in writing that it was not aware of any matters in relation to the proposed change of auditors that need to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders or creditors of the Company. The Board has also confirmed that there was no disagreement or unresolved matters between KTC Partners CPA Limited and the Company and there were no relevant matters in relation to the change of auditors that need to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders or creditors of the Company.
The Board would like to take this opportunity to thank KTC Partners CPA Limited for its valuable contributions to the Company in the past years.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REFRESHMENT OF THE 10% GENERAL LIMIT UNDER THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
Under the rules of the Share Option Scheme:
-
(1) the total number of Shares which may be allotted and issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Group is subject to the 10% General Limit; and
-
(2) the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company must not in aggregate exceed 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time (“ 30% Overall Limit ”).
The Company may seek approval from the Shareholders in general meeting for refreshing the 10% General Limit so that the total number of Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of all options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Group shall be re-set at 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the approval of the limit as “refreshed”. In this connection, options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Group (including options outstanding, cancelled, lapsed or exercised) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the 10% General Limit as “refreshed”.
The existing 10% General Limit is 469,462,888 Shares, being 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the ordinary resolution at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company for the renewal of the 10% General Limit on 25 November 2013. Since 25 November 2013 and up to the Latest Practicable Date, options to subscribe for 469,340,000 Shares had been granted. Of such options granted, options to subscribe for 1,000,000 Shares had been lapsed and no options was cancelled or exercised as at the Latest Practicable Date. As such, the Directors consider that the 10% General Limit under the Share Option Scheme shall be “refreshed” so that the Share Option Scheme can continue to serve its purpose of giving incentives and rewards to the eligible participants which include employees, non-executive directors, customers and suppliers of the Group and other eligible participants of the Share Option Scheme for their contribution to the Group and/or enabling the Group to recruit and retain high-calibre employees and attract human resources that are valuable to the Group.
The Directors consider that it will be for the benefit of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole that eligible participants of the Share Option Scheme are granted rights to obtain equity holdings of the Company through the grant of options under the Share Option Scheme. This will motivate the eligible participants to contribute to the further development of the Group. For these reasons, the Directors will propose the passing of an ordinary resolution at the Annual General Meeting for “refreshing” the 10% General Limit.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
If the 10% General Limit is “refreshed”, on the basis of 4,830,406,481 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that, prior to the Annual General Meeting, no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company, the 10% General Limit will be re-set at 483,040,648 Shares and the Company will be allowed to grant further options under the Share Option Scheme and other share option schemes carrying the rights to subscribe for a maximum of 483,040,648 Shares (“ Available Limit ”).
On the basis of 4,830,406,481 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, the 30% Overall Limit represents a total of 1,449,121,944 Shares. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares which may fall to be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted since the adoption of the Share Option Scheme and yet to be exercised is 552,663,431 Shares (representing approximately 11.44% of the issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date). Accordingly, the Available Limit arising from the “refreshing” of the 10% General Limit does not exceed the 30% Overall Limit as at the Latest Practicable Date.
The refreshment of the 10% General Limit is conditional upon:
-
(a) the Shareholders’ approval at the Annual General Meeting; and
-
(b) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares (representing 10% of the total Shares in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting approving the refreshment of the 10% General Limit) which may fall to be issued pursuant to the exercise of any options granted under the refreshed 10% General Limit.
Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the approval mentioned in paragraph (b) above.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Set out on pages AGM-1 to AGM-5 of this circular is a notice convening the Annual General Meeting at which, among other proposed resolutions, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to approve the following:
-
(a) the grant of the General Mandate, the Repurchase Mandate and the Extension Mandate;
-
(b) the re-election of Directors;
-
(c) the appointment of auditors of the Company; and
-
(d) the refreshment of the 10% General Limit under the Share Option Scheme.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
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. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES
The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the Listing Rules provide that the shares of such company must be fully paid up and all repurchase of shares by such a company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders, either by way of a general mandate or by specific approval of a specific transaction.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 4,830,406,481 Shares in issue.
Subject to the passing of the resolution for the grant of the Repurchase Mandate (resolution numbered 5 as set out in the notice convening the Annual General Meeting contained in this circular), and assuming that no new Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 483,040,648 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.
3. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole for the Directors to have general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements of the Company at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made if the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
Repurchases must be paid out of funds legally available for the purpose and in accordance with the Articles, the Companies Law, other applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules. A listed company is prohibited from repurchasing its own shares 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 Cayman Islands law, any repurchases by the Company may only be made out of profits of the company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose or, if authorised by the Articles and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital. Any premium payable on a redemption or purchase over the par value of the shares to be repurchased must be provided for out of profits or the share premium account of the Company or, if authorised by the Articles and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
5. MATERIAL ADVERSE IMPACT OF REPURCHASES
On the basis of the current financial position of the Company and taking into account the current working capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full, it might have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company as compared with the position as at 31 March 2014, being the date to which the last audited accounts of the Company were made up. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
6. SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the following months were as follows:
| Highest | Lowest | |
|---|---|---|

| 2013 | ||

| August | 0.104 | 0.091 |

| June | 0.270 | 0.233 |

7. UNDERTAKINGS AND DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that 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.
– I-2 –
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Repurchase Mandate, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved at the Annual General Meeting by the Shareholders.
8. CONNECTED PERSONS
No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company and no such person has undertaken not to sell any Shares held by him/her/it to the Company, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved at the Annual General Meeting by the Shareholders.
9. THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING
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 for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeover 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, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, the following Shareholders were interested in more than 10% of the Shares then in issue:
| Name Number of Shares (1) Automatic Result 914,756,532 (Note 1) (2) Lord Profit 844,576,010 (Note 2) (3) Overseas Capital 657,180,000 (Note 3) Notes: |

Based on the individual substantial shareholder notice of Overseas Capital Assets Limited (“ Overseas Capital ”) filed on 19 June 2014, Overseas Capital held 657,180,000 Shares and was wholly owned by He Rufeng.
– I-3 –
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
In the event the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares in accordance with the Repurchase Mandate, the total interests of the above shareholders in the issued shares of the Company would be increased to:
| Name (1) Automatic Result (2) Lord Profit (3) Overseas Capital |
Percentage holding 21.04% 19.43% |
|---|---|
| 40.47% 15.12% |
The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in any Shareholder or group of Shareholder acting in concert being obliged to make a mandatory offer under rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any purchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate. Save as disclosed, the Directors are not aware of any Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert, who may become obliged to make a mandatory offer under rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any purchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.
The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in the number of Shares in the hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.
10. SHARES REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
In the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not repurchased any Shares on the Stock Exchange or otherwise.
