Sale Shares, representing the entire issued share capital of COAG.

Consideration

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Consideration in respect of the Sale Shares of HK$2,000,000 shall be paid by NWM to IEC by way of cash upon Completion. NWM intends to fund the Consideration by its internal resources.

The Consideration was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between IEC and NWM with reference to the net asset value of the assets being acquired, the financial performance of the COAG Group in recent fiscal years and the waiver of the Indebtedness of HK$7,697,315.02. Pursuant to the Deed, in consideration of the sum of HK$1, COAG irrevocably and unconditionally waived the Indebtedness. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms and conditions of the Agreement (including the Consideration) are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

Conditions precedent

Completion is subject to the following conditions:

  • (i) the obtaining of an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders (other than those who are required to abstain from voting under the Listing Rules) either passed at a general meeting of NWM or by way of a written resolutions approving the entering into of the Agreement and the performance of the transactions contemplated thereunder by NWM;

  • (ii) all necessary governmental and regulatory (including the Stock Exchange) approvals or consents (or waivers) required by the parties to the Agreement or any of them for the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein having been obtained; and

  • 5 -

Letter from the Board

  • (iii) all necessary third party approvals or consents (or waivers) required by the parties to the Agreement or any of them for the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein having been obtained.

All the conditions above are not waivable by the parties to the Agreement. On 29 February 2008, IEC and NWM have agreed to extend the long stop date for the fulfillment of the above conditions from 31 March 2008 to 31 May 2008. If the above conditions have not been fulfilled before 31 May 2008 (or such other date as the parties may agree), the Agreement shall have no further force and effect and the parties thereto shall have no liability thereunder.

Completion

Subject to the fulfillment of the conditions set out above, Completion will take place on the third Business Day after such fulfillment (or such other date as the parties to the Agreement may agree).

Immediately after Completion, COAG will cease to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of IEC and will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of NWM.

fINaNCIaL ImPaCt of the aCQUISItIoN

As illustrated in the unaudited pro forma balance sheet of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix IV to this circular, the net asset value of the Group (equivalent to total shareholders’ equity) before and after the pro forma adjustments are both HK$50,904,000. The Directors expects that the Acquisition will not have any significant impact on the Group’s net asset value upon Completion. The Directors also believe that there will be no immediate material impact on the earning position of the Group upon Completion. As illustrated in the unaudited pro forma income statement of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix IV to the circular, loss for the six months ended 31 December 2007 attributable to equity holders of the Company after the pro forma adjustments is HK$5,066,000 compared to that before pro forma adjustments amounting to HK$5,767,000. It is expected that the Acquisition will have a positive impact on the earnings of the Enlarged Group in the long run.

Set out below is the audited consolidated financial information of the COAG Group for the six months ended 30 September 2007 and for each of the two years ended 31 March 2007 and 2006 prepared in accordance with the HKFRS:

reaSoNS for the aCQUISItIoN

The Group is principally engaged in the provision of Internet content services and telecommunication value-added services in the PRC.

As stated in the 2006/07 annual report of NWM, the mobile internet value added business, being a major revenue generator of the Group’s business, was badly hit by the environmental changes of the PRC’s wireless market. The management did not see a significant improvement to this situation in the near term. Consequently, revenue from this sector is expected to continue to decrease. NWM has been looking for other investment opportunities in order to maximise the return to the Shareholders. The Directors believe that the Acquisition is a viable investment and will broaden the asset and earnings base of the Group. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) also consider that the terms of the Agreement (including the Consideration) are fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms, and are in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

GeNeraL

Given that the relevant percentage ratio is more than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a very substantial acquisition for NWM under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is conditional on the approval of the Shareholders pursuant to Rule 14.49 of the Listing Rules, where voting must be taken by poll. IEC and its associates, and any Shareholder who has a material interest in the Acquisition are required to abstain from voting on the proposed resolution approving the Acquisition at the EGM. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, and having made all reasonable enquiries, IEC and its associates did not hold any Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date and no Shareholder has a material interest in the Acquisition.

A notice convening the EGM is set out on pages 172 to 173 of this circular. A form of proxy for use by the Shareholders at the EGM is enclosed. Whether or not you intend to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the branch share registrars of NWM in Hong Kong, Tricor Abacus Limited at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the EGM or any adjournment thereof.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Notes to the Financial Statements

1 GENERAL INFORMATION

New World Mobile Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Group”) are principally engaged in technology related business including mobile Internet services in Mainland China.

The Company is a limited liability company incorporated in the Cayman Islands. The address of its registered office is P.O. Box 309, Ugland House, South Church Street, George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, British West Indies.

The Company is listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”).

The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of units of Hong Kong dollars (HK$’000), unless otherwise stated. The consolidated financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 10 October 2007.

2 BASIS OF PREPARATION

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, are disclosed in Note 5.

3 PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

(a) The adoption of new/revised HKFRS

For the year ended 30 June 2007, the Group adopted the below new standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations of HKFRS, which are relevant to its operations.

HKAS 21 (Amendment) The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates – Net Investment in a Foreign Operation HKAS 39 (Amendments) Cash Flow Hedge Accounting of Forecast Intragroup Transactions and The Fair Value Option HKAS 39 and HKFRS 4 Financial Instruments: Recognition and (Amendments) Measurement and Insurance Contracts – Financial Guarantee Contracts HKFRS – INT 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease HK (IFRIC) – INT 8 Scope of HKFRS 2 HK (IFRIC) – INT 9 Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives

  • 19 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The adoption of amendments to HKAS 21, 39, HKFRS 4, HKFRS Interpretation 4 and HK(IFRIC) Interpretation 8 and 9 did not result in substantial changes to the Group’s accounting policies. In summary:

The amendment to HKAS 21 relates to circumstances under which loans from fellow subsidiaries can be regarded as part of net investment in a foreign operation, hence the exchange differences arising on those loans should be recorded directly.

The amendments to HKAS 39 and HKFRS 4 on financial guarantee contracts introduce a requirement to recognise the fair value of financial guarantee issued under HKAS 39, unless the entity has previously asserted that it regards such contracts as insurance contracts.

The amendment to HKAS 39 on cash flow hedge accounting of forecast intragroup transactions specifically permits hedge accounting to be adopted in consolidated financial statements in respect of the foreign exchange risk of a highly probable forecast intragroup transaction, but only if the transaction is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity entering into that transaction and if the foreign currency risk will affect consolidated profit or loss.

The amendment to HKAS 39 on the fair value option restricts the circumstances under which the fair value option in HKAS 39 can be taken advantage of, compared to the original HKAS 39.

HKFRS – INT 4 looks at the question as to whether certain supply arrangements contain in substance a lease that should be recognised by both the lessor and lessee in accordance with HKAS 17 “Leases”.

HK (IFRIC) – INT 8 requires consideration of transactions involving the issuance of equity instruments – where the identifiable consideration received is less than the fair value of the equity instruments issued – to establish whether or not they fall within the scope of HKFRS 2.

HK (IFRIC) – INT 9, requires an entity to assess whether an embedded derivative is required to be separated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative when the entity first becomes a party to the contract. Subsequent reassessment is prohibited unless there is a change in the terms of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows that otherwise would be required under the contract, in which case reassessment is required.

Certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published but are not effective for current financial year and have not been early adopted, are as follows:

HKAS 1 (Amendment) Presentation of Financial Statements – Capital Disclosures[1] HKAS 23 (Revised) Borrowing Costs[2] HKFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures[1] HKFRS 8 Operating Segments[2] HK (IFRIC) – INT 10 Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment[3] HK (IFRIC) – INT 11 HKFRS 2 – Group and Treasury Share Transactions[4] HK (IFRIC) – INT 12 Service Concession Arrangements[5]

1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007.

2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009.

3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 November 2006.

4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 March 2007.

5 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008.

The Group has already commenced an assessment of the impact of the new standards, amendments or interpretations to existing standards but is not yet in a position to state whether these new standards, amendments or interpretations to existing standards would have a significant impact to its results of operations and financial position.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

(b) Group accounting

(i) Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group include the financial statements of the Company and all its direct and indirect subsidiaries made up to 30 June.

To comply with the Chinese laws and regulations that prohibit or restrict foreign ownership of companies that provide wireless value-added telecommunications services (the “VAS”), which includes wireless Internet services and Internet content services, the Group conducts substantially all of its VAS operations through 上海易圖通信息技術有限公司, 南京逆火軟件有限公司 and 北京新世界科技發展 有限公司 and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Variable Interest Entities”). They are legally owned by certain citizens of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) or the PRC local company whose equity interest are beneficially owned by citizens of the PRC (collectively “the Registered Shareholders”).

Certain contractual arrangements have been made among Shanghai New Era Link Telecom Technology Co., Ltd (“Shg TDT”), a subsidiary of the Company, the Variable Interest Entities and the Registered Shareholders so that the decision–making rights and operating and financing activities of these Variable Interest Entities are ultimately controlled by Shg TDT. Shg TDT is also entitled to all of the operating profits and residual benefits generated by the Variable Interest Entities under these arrangements. In particular, the Registered Shareholders are required under their contractual arrangements with the Group to transfer these interests in the Variable Interest Entities to Shg TDT or Shg TDT‘s designee upon Shg TDT’s request at a pre-agreed nominal consideration.

The Group has granted loans to the Registered Shareholders to finance their investments in the Variable Interest Entities. The direct equity interest in the Variable Interest Entities has been pledged as collateral for the loans.

As a result, the Variable Interest Entities are accounted for as subsidiaries of the Group for accounting purposes.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair values of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the income statement.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

  • 21 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The gain or loss on the disposal of a subsidiary represents the difference between the proceeds of the sale and the Group’s share of its net assets.

In the Company’s balance sheet the investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less provision for impairment losses. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividends received and receivable.

(ii) Associated companies

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognised at cost. The Group’s investments in associates includes goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) identified on acquisition.

The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the income statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

(iii) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary or associated company at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill on acquisitions of associated companies is included in investments in associated companies. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing.

(c) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated at rates sufficient to write off their cost less accumulated impairment losses over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The principal annual rates are as follows:

Computer equipment 20%
Furniture and fittings 20%
Leasehold improvements shorter of the lease term or 20%
Motor vehicles 20%
Testing equipment 33.33%
Digital, switching and transmission system 10% – 20%
  • 22 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Building situated in leasehold land are depreciated over the shorter of the unexpired term of lease and their estimated useful lives, being no more than 50 years after the date of completion.

Historical costs of property, plant and equipment include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are expensed in the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within other net gains/(losses), in the income statement.

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

(d) Impairment of assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation, which are at least tested annually for impairment and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).

(e) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade and other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the assets’ carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the income statement within administrative expenses.

(f) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are carried in the balance sheet at cost. For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.

(g) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

  • 23 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

(h) Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(i) Employee benefits

(i) Employee leave entitlements

Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.

Employee entitlements to sick leave and maternity leave are not recognised until the time of

leave.

(ii) Pension obligations

The Group contributes to defined contribution retirement schemes which are available to eligible employees, the assets of which are held in separate trustee administered funds. The Group’s contribution to the defined contribution retirement schemes are expensed as incurred and are reduced by contributions forfeited by those employees who leave the scheme prior to vesting fully in the contributions.

(iii) Bonus

Provisions for bonus due wholly within twelve months after balance sheet date are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of services rendered by employees and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.

(iv) Share-based compensation

The Group operates an equity-settled, share-based compensation plan. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognised as an expense. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions (for example, profitability and sales growth targets). Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. At each balance sheet date, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to become exercisable. It recognises the impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, in the income statement, and a corresponding adjustment to equity over the remaining vesting period.

The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium when the options are exercised.

(j) Deferred taxation

Deferred taxation is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, if the deferred income tax arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, it is not accounted for. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

  • 24 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred taxation is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associated companies, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

(k) Trade payables

Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(l) Revenue recognition

The Group derives technology related services revenue from the provision of value-added telecommunications services (“VAS”). The Group recognises its revenue net of applicable business taxes and other related taxes. Revenue from the provision of outsourcing services is recognised when services are rendered. Wireless VAS revenue is derived principally from providing mobile phones users with short messaging services, multimedia messaging services and wireless application protocol. These services are substantially billed on a monthly subscription basis or a per message basis (the “Service Fees”). These services are predominately delivered through the platforms of various subsidiaries of China Mobile Communications Corporation and they also collect the Service Fees on behalf of the Group.

Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.

(m) Operating leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are expensed in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

(n) Segment reporting

A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.

(o) Foreign currency translation

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in HK dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement.

  • 25 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

  • (iii) Group companies

The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • (a) assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;

  • (b) income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and

  • (c) all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.

(p) Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial asset or financial liability, including fees and commissions paid to agents, advisers, brokers and dealers, levies by regulatory agencies and securities exchanges, and transfer taxes and duties. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

(q) Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Group’s financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company’s shareholders or Directors as appropriate.

4 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

4.1 Financial risk factors

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow and fair value interest rate risks.

The Group’s risk management program seeks to minimise the potential adverse effects of financial risks on the Group’s performance.

  • (i) Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates mainly in the PRC and Hong Kong. The exchange rate of Reminbi to HK dollars is subject to the rules and regulations of foreign exchange control promulgated by the PRC government. At present, the Group does not have any financial instruments for hedging purposes.

  • 26 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The executive Directors are responsible for managing the net position in each foreign currency.

(ii) Credit risk

The Group has concentration of credit risk. Sales of services to the top five customers constituted 100% of the Group’s turnover for the year ended 30 June 2007.

The executive Directors consider that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant since the Group primarily trades with reputable and creditworthy customers. In addition, the Group has credit policies in place to ensure that sales of services are made to customers with appropriate credit history. Collection of outstanding receivable balances is closely monitored on an ongoing basis.

(iii) Liquidity risk

The Group monitors current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure sufficient cash are maintained.

  • (iv) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risks

As the Group has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Group’s income and operating cash flow are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.

At the year end, the Group had no borrowings.

4.2 Fair value estimation

The nominal value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables approximates their fair values.

5 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial period are discussed below.

(a) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

In accordance with HKAS 16, the Group estimates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment in order to determine the amount of depreciation expenses to be recorded. The useful lives are estimated at the time the asset is acquired based on historical experience, the expected usage and wear and tear of the assets. The Group also performs annual reviews on whether the assumptions made on useful lives continue to be valid. Such reviews take into account the technological changes, prospective economic utilisation and physical condition of the assets concerned.

APPENDIX I

(b) Impairment of receivables

The executive Directors determine the provision for impairment of trade and other receivables based on the credit history of its customers and the current market condition. The Group reassess the provision on each of the balance sheet date.

Significant judgement is exercised on the assessment of the collectibility of trade receivables from each customer. In making its judgement, management considers a wide range of factors such as results of follow-up procedures performed by sales personnel, customer payment trends including subsequent payments and customers’ financial position. If the financial conditions of customers of the Group were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

8 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In prior year, the Group entered into a merger agreement and amendment agreements (collectively the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which the Group disposed of its entire interests in New World PCS Holdings Limited (“NWPCS Holdings”) to Telstra CSL Limited which has changed its name to CSL New World Mobility Limited (“CSL NWM”) and made a cash payment of HK$244 million in exchange for the acquisition of 23.6% of the issued share capital of CSL NWM and its subsidiaries (collectively the “CSL NWM Group” representing the enlarged group combining Telstra CSL Limited and its subsidiaries and NWPCS Holdings and its subsidiaries (the “NWPCS Group”)), and an amount due from CSL NWM, the then associated company, of HK$113,328,000. Hence, the NWPCS Group ceased to be subsidiaries of the Group. The Merger Agreement was approved by the shareholders of the Company at the Extraordinary General Meeting on 24 March 2006 and completed on 31 March 2006.

15 RETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Group contributes to two defined contribution retirement schemes in Hong Kong which include an Occupational Retirement Scheme (the “ORSO Scheme”) and a mandatory provident fund scheme (the “MPF Scheme”). Under the ORSO Scheme, the employees are required to contribute 5% of their monthly salaries, while the Group’s contributions are calculated at a range from 5% to 10% of the monthly salaries of employees. The employees are entitled to 100% of the employer’s contributions after 10 years of completed service, or at a reduced scale after completion of 3 to 9 years of service. Contributions to the ORSO Scheme are reduced by contributions forfeited by those employees who leave the ORSO Scheme prior to vesting fully in the Group’s contributions.

The MPF Scheme has been established under Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme Ordinance in December 2000. The then existing employees of the Group in Hong Kong could elect to join the MPF Scheme, while all new employees joining the Group in Hong Kong from then onwards are required to join the MPF Scheme. The employees are required to contribute 5% of each individual’s relevant income with a maximum amount of HK$1,000 per month as a mandatory contribution, while the Group’s contribution are calculated at a range from 5% to 10% of each individual’s relevant income. Employer’s mandatory contributions are 100% vested in the employees as soon as they are paid to the MPF Scheme. Employees may also elect to contribute more than the minimum as a voluntary contribution.

The Group also contributes to employee pension schemes established by municipal government in respect of certain subsidiaries in the PRC.

The aggregate employer’s contributions, net of forfeited contributions, which have been dealt with in the consolidated income statement during the year are as follows:

Gross scheme contributions
Less: Forfeited contributions utilised to offset contributions for the year
Net scheme contributions
Less: Amount included in discontinued operations

16 INCOME TAX EXPENSE

No provision for Hong Kong profits tax and overseas taxation (2006: Nil) has been made for the year as the Company and a number of its subsidiaries have no assessable profit for the year and certain subsidiaries have sufficient tax losses brought forward to offset their estimated assessable profit for the year.

The taxation on the Group’s operating profit/(loss) before share of results of associated companies differs from the theoretical amount that would arise using the taxation rate of the home country of the consolidated entities as follows:

Operating profit/(loss) before share of results of associated companies
Calculated at a taxation rate of

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Notes:

  • (a) During the year, the Group received dividend income of HK$17,228,000 from an associated company, CSL NWM, in which the Company indirectly held 23.6% interest of its issued share capital. The associated company was disposed of on 4 January 2007.

In prior year, the Group received dividend income of HK$7,523,000 from an associated company, Han International Consulting Company Limited, in which the Company held 30% interest of its issued share capital. Hence, the provision for impairment of the investment in an associated company was reversed by HK$7,523,000. The associated company was subsequently dissolved in January 2006.

  • (b) On 4 January 2007, the Company completed the disposal of associated companies through the disposal of entire issued share capital of Upper Start Holdings Limited (“Upper Start”), the wholly owned subsidiary which holds 23.6% interest in the CSL NWM Group (the “Disposal”), at the consideration of HK$2,500 million to New World Development Limited (“NWD”).

The consideration of the Disposal was satisfied by way of set-off against a sum equivalent to the aggregate amounts due to fellow subsidiaries, owing under the subscription note, the convertible bond, the promissory note and the loans from the group companies of NWD, which resulting in full discharge of the subscription note, the convertible bond, the promissory note and the loans; and the remaining amount of HK$169,547,000 (Note 31) was settled in cash upon the completion of Disposal. The disposal resulted in a gain on disposal of a subsidiary, net of the related legal and professional fees of HK$6,124,000, of HK$305,790,000 (Note 10). The early extinguishment of the subscription note and convertible bond upon the Disposal resulted in a gain of HK$6,908,000 (Note 10) and a reversal of convertible bond reserve of HK$26,657,000 (Note 30(a)).

Hence, impairment loss was provided for the goodwill.

4. MANAGEMENT DIsCUssION AND ANALysIs OF THE GROUP

The following discussion on the Group’s performance for the year ended 30 June 2005 was extracted from the Company’s 2004/2005 annual report. The financial data mentioned herein included both the continuing operations of the Group and the discontinued operations relating to the Group’s previous investment in New World PCS Limited which was disposed of in 2006.

For the year ended 30 June 2005

Change of Financial year End

Since the acquisition of New World PCS Limited and its subsidiaries (the “NWPCS Group”) on 6 July 2004, the Group mainly engaged in offering a host of quality mobile communications services in Hong Kong, including voice services and customized data services tailored to the specific needs of individual customer groups, via advanced mobile technologies.

The acquisition of the NWPCS Group constituted a reverse acquisition from accounting perspective and therefore the comparative financial information presented in these accounts represented that of the NWPCS Group, which had a financial year end date of 30 June.

In order to conform to the financial year end date of New World Development Company Limited (“NWD”), its holding company, and the NWPCS Group, the Company changed its financial year end date from 31 December to 30 June. Accordingly, the financial period of the Company under review in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2005 covered eighteen months from 1 January 2004 to 30 June 2005.

Summary of the financial review representing the Group’s result covered the period from 1 July 2004 to 30 June 2005.

Financial Review

For the year ended 30 June 2005, the Group’s consolidated turnover slightly increased by HK$10 million to approximately HK$1,709 million (2003/04: HK$1,699 million). The turnover of the Group was mainly contributed by mobile communications services revenue and sale of handsets and accessories.

Mobile communications services revenue for the year amounted to approximately HK$1,318 million (2003/04: HK$1,442 million), representing 8.6% decrease. The decline was mainly attributable to aggressive price promotions offered by the mobile service operators and severe competition on tariff. As a result, the post-paid average revenue per user (“ARPU”) dropped from HK$180 in last year to HK$170 in current year. However, the Group continued to excel in customer servicing and providing mobile users with pioneering data services to maintain its competitiveness during the year. The Group was successful in maintaining the churn rate at 3.6% (2003/04: 3.3%).

Revenue from sale of mobile handsets and accessories for the year was approximately HK$386 million, representing 50% surge as compared with HK$257 million for last year. This

  • 71 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

was achieved by offering various “free handset” promotional offers and a wide range of handset models with advance features to our customers during the year.

The cost of goods sold and services provided was approximately HK$866 million, representing an increase of HK$93 million as compared with last year (2003/04: HK$773 million). The increase was a direct result of the corresponding increase in handset sales.

The gross profit margin of the Group was 49% for current year (2003/04: 54%). The decrease was mainly due to relatively low gross profit margin of mobile handsets and accessories sales and the decline of ARPU.

The Group continued to enhance operating efficiency, resulting in a lower operating expense, excluding depreciation and amortisation charge (“OPEX”). The OPEX was reduced by 5.6% to HK$441 million (2003/04: HK$467 million).

The Group’s earning before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (“EBITDA”) for the current year dropped to HK$403 million (2003/04: HK$459 million).

Finance costs for the year increased to HK$30 million (2003/04: HK$7 million). The increase was mainly due to the interest payments by the Group for a loan from a fellow subsidiary, a subscription note (the “Subscription Note”) which arose as a result of the acquisition of the NWPCS Group and a convertible bond (“Convertible Bond”). Increase in HIBOR was also a substantial factor for the increase in finance costs.

As a result of the combined effects of the above, the Group’s profit attributable to Shareholders dropped to HK$93 million (2003/04: HK$164 million).

Capital structure, Liquidity and Financial Resources

In order to finance the acquisition of the NWPCS Group, the Company issued new Shares and the Subscription Note at the consideration of HK$50 million and HK$1,200 million, respectively, in July 2004.

Apart from the Subscription Note, the total borrowings of the Group as at 30 June 2005 was approximately HK$1,009 million (30 June 2004: HK$2,164 million) which mainly comprised a loan from New World Finance Company Limited (“NWF”) of HK$878 million, the Convertible Bond of HK$28 million, and a bank loan of HK$103 million. All these borrowings were denominated in Hong Kong dollars and borne interest at HIBOR + 0.65%, 3% and HIBOR + 0.65%, respectively.

The loan from NWF was repayable on demand after 29 September 2006. The maturity date for the Convertible Bond was in November 2007. The bank loan outstanding was scheduled to be fully repaid in October 2005.

As most of the borrowings of the Group including the Subscription Note as at 30 June 2005 were regarded as shareholders’ loans, the gearing ratio of the Group calculated thereon was considered to be misleading and so not presented in the annual report.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

As at 30 June 2005, the Group’s cash and bank balances amounted to approximately HK$117 million (30 June 2004: HK$94 million).

The functional currency of the Group is Hong Kong dollar. The Group’s business transactions, monetary assets and liabilities are mainly denominated in Hong Kong dollar. The Group does not therefore have any significant exposure to foreign currency gains and losses. It is the Group’s treasury policy to manage its foreign currency exposure whenever its financial impact is material to the Group. The Group does not conduct any foreign currency speculative activities.

Employees and Remuneration Policy

APPENDIX I

For the year ended 30 June 2006

Disposal of the NWPCs Group and acquisition of the CsL NWM Group

On 8 December 2005, the Group entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) to dispose of the NWPCS Group and make a cash payment of HK$244.024 million, in exchange for an equity holding of 23.6% of the issued share capital of CSL New World Mobility Limited (“CSL NWM”) and an amount due from CSL NWM of HK$113.328 million. The merger executed pursuant to the Merger Agreement was completed on 31 March 2006. As a result, the NWPCS Group, which is engaged in mobile communications business, ceased to be subsidiaries of the Group; while CSL NWM and its subsidiaries (the “CSL NWM Group”) comprising the NWPCS Group and CSL NWM (formerly known as Telstra CSL Limited) and its subsidiaries became associated companies of the Group. The application of Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard No. 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations has resulted in a change in the presentation of the results and cash flows of the NWPCS Group in current and prior years but has not impacted prior year’s consolidated balance sheet. In the consolidated income statement, a single amount comprising the results of the NWPCS Group, of which an analysis of the results is set out in note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, and gain on disposal of the NWPCS Group constituting discontinued operations is presented whereas the net cash flows of the NWPCS Group attributable to operating, investing and financing activities are also disclosed in the consolidated cash flow statement.

Acquisition of New World CyberBase solutions (BVI) Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively the “NWCs Group”)

On 21 October 2005, the Group acquired from New World CyberBase Limited (“NWC”) the NWCS Group and NWC’s interests in the loans to the NWCS Group for an aggregate consideration of HK$21 million. The NWCS Group is engaged in the provision of technology related services, mainly mobile Internet services and wireless application protocol (“WAP”) services, in the PRC. The consideration was satisfied by the issue of 16,153,846 new Shares at HK$1.3 each.

Financial Review

The Group recorded a profit attributable to Shareholders of HK$911.6 million for the current year, as compared to a loss attributable to Shareholders of HK$10.4 million in the previous year. The profit of this year mainly arose from the profit of HK$1,045.2 million (2005: HK$36.7 million) from discontinued operations of mobile communications services, slightly offset by the loss of HK$133.6 million (2005: loss of HK$47.1 million) from continuing operations.

Profit from discontinued operations comprised after-tax profit of HK$22.2 million of the NWPCS Group for the nine months ended 31 March 2006 (year ended 30 June 2005: HK$36.7 million) and the gain of HK$1,023.0 million on disposal of the NWPCS Group.

  • 74 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Loss from continuing operations was attributed to the loss of HK$87.4 million of the technology related business, finance costs of HK$62.8 million and other corporate expenses, slightly alleviated by the Group’s share of results of the CSL NWM Group.

The loss of HK$87.4 million of the technology related business comprised impairment losses on intangible assets of HK$73.0 million. The impairment losses on intangible assets were provided for goodwill of HK$66.0 million arising from the reverse acquisition by the Group of the NWPCS Group in July 2004 which was re-allocated to the Group’s new continuing operations in technology related services, goodwill of HK$5.5 million arising from the acquisition of the NWCS Group and a licence of HK$1.5 million. The continuing operations recorded a turnover of HK$16.5 million from the technology related business for the post-acquisition period from 21 October 2005 to 30 June 2006, as compared to HK$4.3 million from logistics services in the previous year. WAP services had become the key growth driver contributing to improvement in turnover. On 30 June 2006, there were more than 270,000 monthly subscribers, over 90% of them were multimedia messaging services (“MMS”) and WAP subscribers. During the period under review, product development teams in Shanghai and Guangzhou, the PRC had developed more than 100 new MMS, WAP and short messaging services.

Finance costs of continuing operations for the current year was HK$62.8 million, an increase of HK$18.1 million from HK$44.7 million for the same period last year. The increase was mainly due to interest expenses of HK$11.5 million on a new promissory note issued to a fellow subsidiary in March 2006 to replace loans and accrued interest expenses of a total of HK$886.7 million of the NWPCS Group for which the related interest expenses incurred before the replacement were deducted from the profit from discontinued operations, and interest expenses of HK$3.6 million on new loans of HK$278.0 million drawn from the fellow subsidiary in March and June 2006.

The CSL NWM Group is a major mobile telecommunications network operator in Hong Kong, providing 2G and 3G services under three brands: “One2Free”, “1010” and “New World Mobility”. On 30 June 2006, there were over 2.6 million subscribers to its services. The Group’s share of 23.6% of the results of the CSL NWM Group for the three months from 1 April 2006 to 30 June 2006 amounted to HK$27.7 million.

Capital structure, Liquidity and Finance Resources

As at 30 June 2006, the total borrowings of the Group amounted to HK$2,371.0 million (30 June 2005: HK$2,043.5 million) which comprised the Subscription Note of HK$1,178.0 million, the Convertible Bond of HK$28.3 million, a promissory note of HK$886.7 million issued to NWF and loans of HK$278.0 million from NWF. The promissory note was issued to settle debts of the NWPCS Group before disposal of the NWPCS Group to CSL NWM. Loans of HK$278.0 million were obtained to finance the acquisition of the CSL NWM Group and meet requirements on the Group’s working capital. These borrowings were denominated in Hong Kong dollars, and borne interest rates of 0.75%, 3%, 0.65% above HIBOR and 0.65% above HIBOR per annum respectively.

  • 75 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The maturity date of the Convertible Bond was extended to 1 November 2007. The promissory note was repayable on demand after eighteen months from its date of issue of 30 March 2006. Loans of HK$244.02 million and HK$34.0 million from NWF were repayable upon demand after eighteen months from 31 March 2006 and after 28 August 2007 respectively.

Since most of the borrowings of the Group were considered as shareholders’ loans, the gearing ratio of the Group calculated thereon was considered misleading and therefore, not presented.

As at 30 June 2006, the Group’s cash and bank balances were of HK$27.7 million (30 June 2005: HK$116.5 million). The reduction was mainly the result of the disposal of the NWPCS Group. The Group had undrawn loan facility of HK$36.0 million as at 30 June 2006.

Total capital expenditure of the Group was HK$97.4 million for the year (2005: HK$140.8 million), which was mainly spent on the NWPCS Group’s mobile communications business.

The key operations of the Group are located in Hong Kong and the PRC. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Group are mainly denominated in either Hong Kong dollars or Renminbi (“RMB”). Since no significant exposure to foreign currency gains and losses are expected, the Group does not conduct any foreign currency hedging activities.

There were no material contingent liabilities as at 30 June 2006 (30 June 2005: bank guarantees in lieu of deposits of HK$9 million).

Employees and Remuneration Policy

As at 30 June 2006, the Group had a total of 143 employees (30 June 2005: 662). The reduction in number of employees was mainly due to the disposal of the NWPCS Group. The Group’s remuneration policy is to pay salaries competitive in the industry, in a way that is motivational, fair and equitable. The salaries are also dependent on individual and company’s performance. Apart from salaries, the Group also provides other fringe benefits to employees, which include provident fund schemes, medical insurance and bonus on performance basis.

Outlook

According to the June 2006 report by China Internet Information Centre, there were over 123 million Internet users in the PRC, a 19.4% growth from the previous year. The Ministry of Information Industry also expected the number of mobile phone users to reach 440 million at the end of 2006. Judging from the trend of growth of both Internet and mobile phone users, there would be ample room for growth for value added services.

In July 2006, a major mobile operator partner implemented new control policies for value added service providers. It was expected that the improvement of the mobile Internet business would be slowed down due to the implementation of these new measures. The Group would re-align the strategic imperatives of the business to minimise the impact while capturing the growth opportunities in the explosive market potential in the long-term.

  • 76 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The Group was determined to carry on its expansion into the mobile Internet services area, with a focus on music and city infotainment services. In the music sector, the Group would continue its effort in building a platform for local music talents to create and publicise their works. Currently a platform had been created for music lovers to enjoy pop music as well as new local music. In addition to forming partnership with international record labels, building alliances with music industry players was essential to the Group’s business expansion. Therefore, the Group had established strategic alliances with over 15 local record labels. Continuous alliance formation would be an important component to the Group’s success in the coming years.

In 2006, the Group had re-launched ChinaQuest.com, a web-based city infotainment service, with a powerful search engine. The partnership with China Telecom’s yellow page had not only enabled the Group to increase the spectrum of services, but also contributed to the enrichment of the city information content. Currently the Group had rolled out city information content services in 12 cities. In 2007, the Group would expand the city infotainment service in these cities and into other untapped markets.

In 2006, the Group had strengthened the base to its mobile Internet platform. Building on this foundation, the Group would seek to secure greater market share in 2007. One of the key strategic directions for the provision of services in 2007 was to increase user interactivities by implementing Web 2.0 applications in both the Internet and WAP services. The Group believed that success in enhancing customer satisfaction in and fondness to its services would result in continuous growth of the technology related business of the Group.

The Group’s investment in the mobile communications business through its equity holding of 23.6% of the CSL NWM Group would also continue to generate profit to the Group.

For the year ended 30 June 2007

Business Review

The Company’s mobile value added business had been negatively impacted by the environmental changes of the PRC’s wireless market. Throughout the year, mobile operators continued to tighten control policy on service providers (“SP”). The last major announcement of China Mobile in May 2007 announced a policy on WAP service fee notification, was yet another example which negatively impacted the SP industry. The SP business, being a major revenue generator of the Group’s business, was badly hit. Management did not see a significant improvement to this situation in the near term and revenue from this sector was expected to continue to decrease.

Since the end of 2006, management had taken measures to minimize the potential exposure of the business risks from the SP sector, and had shifted to focus on building up two web-based businesses.

  • 77 -

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Firstly, management shifted to focus on expanding the service offering of web based city infotainment service (Chinaquest). Among many new services that were launched this year, there was a major focus in a commercial based yellow page service called, Enterprise Blog Show (“EBS” or “商博秀”). The revenue of this service line was targeted to replace the shortfall from the SP sector starting in next financial year.

In order to improve the service’s brand awareness, the Group announced a change of Chinaquest’s website address to www.52tong.com and a change of the logo design to a more lively brand design concept in November 2006.

As at the end of 2006, the first major step to expand the service offerings was the launch of a classified advertisement channel focus on providing a platform for individuals to advertise their own information to the public.

By April 2007, a second major service was the launch of EBS, a service targeting commercial market. It was a WEB2.0 platform for commercial customers to advertise their company information to visitors of Chinaquest. Management aimed to launch the service over 50 cities nationwide by the end of 2007. The significant of this service was the birth of a new business model for the Group. The plan to expand throughout the nation would be conducted through establishing local channel partners.

Looking at a 400 million population market size, the wireless value-added market continues to be an important market for the business. In May 2007, the Group launched the Chinaquest WAP service 2.0 – the wireless portal service of Chinaquest. A product that was integrated with the website services. Fully showing the tight integration of Mobile Internet services, enabling users to use Chinaquest service at the desktop and while on the move.

Secondly, in the music entertainment sector, www.hanyin.com, the music entertainment business reached over 218,000 registered users. The Group secured relationship with over 50 local and international record companies with a total of over 2,000 artists. In addition, the Group directly signed song distribution rights with 40 artists and had been promoting their work in both the mobile and Internet environment. At the end of 2006, the music blog channel was re-vamped, now providing 15 different music and entertainment categories of related blog contents, spreading from song of local talents and popular artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan. When the service was re-launched in November 2006, it soon became one of the major key drivers of the sites traffic growth.

Financial Review

1. Results analysis

The mobile value added business had throughout the year been negatively impacted by the market environment and the tightening policy control of the mobile operators. Accordingly, the year-of-year turnover was dropped approximately 14.0% to HK$14.2 million (2006: HK$16.5 million).

On 4 January 2007, the Company completed the disposal of an associated company through the disposal of entire issued share capital of Upper Start Holdings Limited (“Upper Start”) which holds 23.6% interest in the CSL NWM Group (the “Disposal”) at the consideration of HK$2,500 million to NWD. The share of the profits of the associated company immediately prior to the Disposal was HK$62.6 million (2006: HK$27.7 million). The resulting one-off gain from the Disposal was HK$305.8 million.

The profit attributable to the Shareholders for the year ended 30 June 2007 was HK$293.1 million (2006: HK$911.6 million). The drop was due to the inclusion of profit from discontinued operations of HK$1,045.2 million in last year.

2. Liquidity and financial resources

As at 30 June 2007, the equity holders’ fund of the Group amounted to HK$55.7 million (2006: deficit of HK$97.3 million) and the net asset value per Share was HK$0.57 (2006: net liability value per Share HK$1.02). Upon completion of the Disposal, a partial of the consideration from the Disposal was satisfied by way of full discharge against a sum owing under the Subscription Note, the Convertible Bond, the promissory note and the loans from a then fellow subsidiary. As at 30 June 2007, the Group had no bank or other borrowings (2006: HK$2,371.0 million) and the Group’s cash level was recorded at HK$55.5 million (2006: HK$27.7 million). With abundant cash balances and no gearing, the Group had sufficient liquidity and financial resources to meet the operational and investment needs.

3. Financial risk management

The key operations of the Group are located in Hong Kong and the PRC. Therefore, the Group’s assets and liabilities are mainly denominated in either Hong Kong dollars or RMB.

4. Pledge of assets

As at the balance sheet date, bank balances denominated in RMB of certain subsidiaries of the Group in the amount of HK$829,000 (2006: HK$770,000) had been frozen under the PRC court order in relation to claims filed against the subsidiaries.

5. Contingent liabilities

The Group had no material contingent liabilities as at 30 June 2007.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Future Outlook

The future of the Group is to create and build a media platform, enabling commercial customers to showcase their content to mobile and Internet users in the PRC. Management would continue to enhance the service offerings in both city infotainment and music entertainment sectors. It is important to continue to build the brand and customer base. Lastly, the management team would aim to quickly secure the sales network in key cities throughout the nation.

Human Resources

As at 30 June 2007, the Group had a total of 79 full-time employees (2006: 143) in Hong Kong and the PRC. Remuneration packages are structured to take into account the level and composition of pay and the general market conditions in the respective geographical locations and businesses in which the Group operates. The remuneration policies of the Group are reviewed on periodic basis. Apart from retirement schemes, year-end bonuses and share options are awarded to the employees according to the assessment of individual performance and industry practice. Appropriate training programs are also offered for staff training and development.

For the period ended 31 December 2007

Business Review

For the last six months the wireless value added services regulatory environment and telecom operators policies continues to tighten causing the overall business environment of the Service Provider (“SP”) to be affected greatly. Thus our SP business continues to slow down and the scale of the operation has been restructured accordingly.

As at end of this reporting period, the Chinaquest commercial business (a business unit to offer web based city infotainment service) signed up 10 distributors covering over 20 China cities. Although sign up rate of distributors is positive, however due to fierce competition and slow take up rate of end users, the business have not been able to deliver results as planned.

In response to the current tough business environment, management in the last three months has continued to downsize the operations to control costs further. We are also in the process of seeking new business opportunities and sourcing other acquisition that may help the business positively. For instance, the Group signed an agreement on December 27, 2007 to purchase the entire issued share capital of Cyber On-Air Group Limited and its subsidiaries (“COAG”) for a cash consideration of HK$2 million. COAG is principally engaged in the provision of network solutions and project services.

Financial Review

1. Results analysis

As stated in the 2006/07 annual report, the Company’s mobile value added business had been negatively impacted by the environmental changes of China’s wireless market and the management did not foresee any significant improvement in the near term. For the six months period ended 31 December 2007, the turnover was dropped approximately 96.8% to HK$0.3 million (2006: HK$9.5 million). The significant shrinkage in the turnover was directly attributable to the continue downturn in the mobile value added business. During this difficult period, the Group conducted effective measures in controlling costs. The operating loss before finance costs was trimmed to HK$5.8 million (2006: HK$18.0 million). No finance costs were incurred for the six months reporting period because the Group has no gearing and owned sufficient financial resources to support its continuing operations. (2006: HK$52.8 million).

The loss attributable to the shareholders of the Company for the period ended 31 December 2007 was HK$5.8 million (2006: HK$8.1 million). One of the key contributors to the improvement was the reduction of selling and administrative expenses.

2. Liquidity and financial resources

As at 31 December 2007, the capital and reserves attributable to the equity holders of the Company was HK$50.9 million (At 30 June 2007: HK$55.7 million) and the net asset value per share was HK$0.52 (At 30 June 2007: HK$0.57). As at 31 December 2007, the Group had no bank or other borrowings (At 30 June 2007: Nil) and the Group’s cash balances was HK$48.6 million (At 30 June 2007: HK$55.5 million). With abundant cash balances and no gearing, the Group has sufficient liquidity and financial resources to meet the daily operational needs and investment opportunities (if any).

3. Financial risk management

The key operations of the Group are located in Hong Kong and the Mainland China. Therefore, the Group’s assets and liabilities are mainly denominated in either Hong Kong dollars, United States dollars or Renminbi (RMB). The Group does not conduct any foreign currency hedging activities since no significant exposure to foreign currency risks are expected.

4. Pledge of assets

As at 31 December 2007, no assets are under pledge (At 30 June 2007: bank balances denominated in RMB of certain subsidiaries of the Group in the amount of HK$0.8 million have been frozen under the PRC court order in relation to claims filed against these subsidiaries).

5. Contingent liabilities

The Group has no material contingent liabilities as at 31 December 2007 and 30 June

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Outlook

As a continuous effort, the Board will conduct a detailed review of its business portfolio and strategies with an aim to deploy the Group’s resources in an optimal way. It may lead to scale down or adjust area of operations where appropriate.

As an investment holding company, the Group will actively look into other new business opportunities in order to broaden its revenue basis. During the reporting period, the Group has entered into an agreement to acquire a company engaged in the provision of network solutions and project services. Barring for unforeseen circumstances, the acquisition will be completed in the second half of this financial year.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROsPECTs OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

The NWM Group is principally engaged in the provision of Internet content services and telecommunication value-added services in the PRC. Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Group will diversify its business to the provision of network solutions and project services.

The Directors are of the view that the Group would benefit from the COAG Group’s robust growth potential. Besides, profit from the COAG Group would contribute to the Group’s financial performance and dividend received (if any) from the COAG Group would strengthen the Group’s cash flow.

Looking ahead, the Group will endeavor to make more investment decisions with a prudent manner in order to develop a diversified business portfolio. The Group currently has sufficient financial resources and will make full use of this advantage to continue to identify quality investment opportunities.

6. INDEBTEDNEss OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

At the close of business on 31 January 2008, being the latest practicable date for the preparation of this indebtedness statement prior to the printing of this circular, apart from the intra-group liabilities, the Enlarged Group did not have any outstanding mortgages, charges, debentures, loan capital or overdrafts, or other similar indebtedness, finance lease or hire purchase commitments, liabilities under acceptances or acceptance credits or any guarantees or other material contingent liabilities as at the close of business on 31 January 2008.

7. WORkING CAPITAL OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

The Board is of the opinion that after taking into account the Enlarged Group’s internal resources, operating cash flow and available banking facilities, the Enlarged Group has sufficient working capital for its present requirements, that is for at least the next twelve months from the date of this circular.

8. MATERIAL ADVERsE CHANGE

As set out in the Interim Report of the Company for the six months ended 31 December 2007, the wireless value added services regulatory requirement and telecom operators policies continue to tighten causing the overall business environment of the Service Provider (“SP”) to be affected greatly. Thus the SP business of the Group continues to slow down and the scale of operation has been restructured accordingly. Apart from that, the Directors are not aware of any material adverse change in the financial or trading position or prospects of the Group since 30 June 2007, the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Company were made up.

The Financial Information has been prepared based on the Underlying Financial Statements with no adjustment made thereon.

For the financial information for each of the years ended 31 March 2005, 2006 and 2007 and the six months ended 30 September 2007, our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial information based on our examination and to report our opinion to you. We have examined the Underlying Financial Statements and carried out such additional procedures as are necessary in accordance with the Auditing Guideline 3.340 “Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant” issued by the HKICPA.

For the financial information for the six months ended 30 September 2006, it is our responsibility to form an independent conclusion, based on our review, on the financial information and to report our conclusion to you. We conducted our review on the financial information in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards 700 “Engagements to review interim financial reports” issued by the HKICPA. A review consists principally of making enquires to management of the Target Group and the Group and applying analytical procedures to the financial information and based thereon, assessing whether the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit procedures such as tests of controls and verification of assets, liabilities and transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the financial information for the six months ended 30 September 2006.

opinion And review conclusion

In our opinion, the financial information of the Target Group for each of the years ended 31 March 2005, 2006 and 2007 and the six months ended 30 September 2007, for the purpose of this report, gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Target Company and of the Target Group as at 31 March 2005, 2006 and 2007 and 30 September 2007 and of the Target Group’s results and cash flows for the years and period then ended.

ii notes to the FinAnciAl inFormAtion

  • 1 GenerAl inFormAtion

The Target Company was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on 15 December 2000 as a limited liability company. The address of its registered office is P.O. Box 957, Offshore Incorporations Centre, Road Town, Tortola, the British Virgin Islands.

The immediate holding company and the ultimate holding company of the Target Company during the Relevant Periods is International Entertainment Corporation (“IEC”), a company incorporated in Cayman Islands and listed on the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

The Target Company is an investment holding company. Its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the provision of network solutions and project services. For network solutions, the Target Group provides total system solutions including data networking, synchronisation, timing, wireless local area network and network access control. For project services, the Target Group primarily provides infrastructure installation services which include cellular base station and antenna system installation service, structural cabling installation service and microwave installation service.

2 summAry oF siGniFicAnt AccountinG policies

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs under the historical cost convention. These policies are consistent with those adopted by the Company and have been consistently applied throughout the Relevant Periods.

The preparation of the Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Target Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Financial Information, are disclosed in Note 4 of this section.

The following new standards, amendments and interpretations to the existing standards are not yet effective and have not been early adopted by the Target Group:

  • HKAS 1 (Revised), Presentation of Financial Statements, effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. The Target Group will assess the impact and apply the standard for the annual periods beginning 1 January 2009 where applicable;

  • HKAS 23 (Revised), Borrowing Costs, effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. Management does not expect the amendment to be relevant to the Target Group;

  • HKFRS 8, Operating Segments, effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. HKFRS 8 requires identification of operating segments on the basis of internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resource to segments and assess its performance. The Target Group will assess the impact and apply the standard for the annual periods beginning 1 January 2009 where applicable;

  • HK(IFRIC)-Int 12, Service Concession Arrangements, effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008. Management does not expect the interpretation to be relevant to the Target Group;

  • 92 -

FinAnciAl inFormAtion oF the coAG Group

Appendix ii

  • HK(IFRIC)-Int 13, Customer Loyalty Programmes, effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2008. Management does not expect the interpretation to be relevant to the Target Group;

  • HK(IFRIC)-Int 14, The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction, effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008. Management does not expect the interpretation to be relevant to the Target Group.

(a) subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Target Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Target Group controls another entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Target Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between companies comprising the Target Group are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Target Group.

In the Target Company’s balance sheets the investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less provision for impairment losses (Note 2(e)). The results of subsidiaries are accounted by the Target Company on the basis of dividend received and receivable.

(b) segment reporting

A business segment is a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other business segments. A geographical segment is engaged in providing products or services within a particular economic environment that are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.

(c) Foreign currency translation

  • (i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Target Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), which is the Target Company’s functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the consolidated income statements.

  • 93 -

FinAnciAl inFormAtion oF the coAG Group

Appendix ii

  • (iii) Group companies

The results and financial position of all entities of the Target Group (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;

  • income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and

  • all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations, and of borrowings, are taken to shareholders’ equity. When a foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold, exchange differences that were recorded in equity are recognised in the consolidated income statement as part of the gain or loss on sale.

(d) property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent cost is included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Target Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the consolidated income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their costs to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Leasehold improvements over the shorter of their useful lives or lease terms Furniture, fixtures and equipment 5 years Computer hardware 3 – 5 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within other income, in the consolidated income statements.

  • 94 -

FinAnciAl inFormAtion oF the coAG Group

Appendix ii

(e) impairment of investments in subsidiaries and non-financial assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life or have not yet available for use are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

(f) Financial assets – trade and other receivables

The Target Group’s financial assets comprise trade and other receivables.

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade and other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Target Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the assets is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the consolidated income statements within administrative expenses. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account for trade receivables. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against administrative expenses in the consolidated income statements.

(g) inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw material, direct labour and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling and distribution costs.

(h) cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of within three months.

(i) share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

(j) trade payables

Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

  • 95 -

FinAnciAl inFormAtion oF the coAG Group

Appendix ii

(k) borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the consolidated income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Target Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.

(l) current and deferred income tax

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Target Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations where applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, if the deferred income tax arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, it is not accounted for. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

(m) employee benefits

  • (i) Pension obligations

The companies comprising the Target Group which are established in the PRC make contributions based on certain percentage of the salaries of the employees to a defined contribution retirement benefit plan organised by relevant government authorities on a monthly basis. The government authorities undertake to assume the retirement benefit obligations payable to all existing and future retired employees under these plans and the Target Group has no further obligation for post-retirement benefits beyond the contributions made.

The companies comprising the Target Group which are operated in Hong Kong operate defined contribution plans, the assets of which are generally held in a separate trustee-administered funds. These companies pay fixed contribution into such defined contribution plans and have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the funds do not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employees’ services in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to these defined contributions plans are expensed as incurred.

  • 96 -

FinAnciAl inFormAtion oF the coAG Group

Appendix ii

  • (ii) Employee leave entitlement

Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.

  • (iii) Bonus entitlement

Provisions for bonus payment are recognised when the Target Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of services rendered by employees and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.

(n) provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Target Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as an interest expense.

(o) revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Target Group’s activities. Revenue derived from network solutions and project service contracts is recognised on stage of completion method, measured by reference to the agreed milestones of work performed and is shown after eliminating sales within the Target Group.

The Target Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Target Group’s activities as described below. The Target Group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

Warranty and maintenance service income is recognised over the relevant contract period on straightline

basis.

Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.

  • 97 -

Appendix ii

(p) operating leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the consolidated income statement on the straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

(q) dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the Target Company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Target Group’s Financial Information in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Target Company’s shareholders.

3 FinAnciAl risk mAnAGement

(a) Financial risk factors

The Target Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and foreign currency risk. The Target Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Target Group’s financial performance.

(i) Credit risk

The Target Group and Target Company has no significant concentration of credit risk. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term bank deposits with original terms of less than three months, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, amounts due from ultimate holding company, subsidiary, fellow subsidiaries and related companies represent the Target Group’s maximum exposure in relation to financial assets.

The Target Group has policies to limit the amount of credit exposure to any customers, to ensure that sales of products or services are made to customers with an appropriate credit history and to perform periodic credit evaluations of its customers. The Target Group’s historical experience in collection of trade and other receivables, amounts due from ultimate holding company, subsidiary, fellow subsidiaries and related companies falls within the recorded allowances.

The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to the counter party’s default history. The current portion trade receivables which are not impaired are analysed below:

Appendix ii

(ii) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management includes maintaining sufficient cash from operating activities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. The Target Group aims to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available.

The Target Group’s and Target Company’s financial liabilities were current in nature and repayable on demand, therefore the contractual undiscounted cash flows of the Target Group’s and Target Company’s financial liabilities were less than one year at the respective balance sheets dates throughout the Relevant Periods.

(iii) Interest rate risk

The Target Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates as the Target Group has no significant interest-bearing assets. The Target Group’s exposures to changes in interest rates are mainly attributable to its borrowings.

Borrowings at variable rates expose the Target Group to cash flow interest-rate risk. Borrowings at fixed rates expose the Target Group to fair value interest-rate risk. Details of the Target Group’s borrowings have been disclosed in Note 14 of this section.

The Target Group has not used any interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk.

The Target Group analyses its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated taking into consideration of refinancing, renewal of existing positions and alternative financing. Based on these scenarios, the Target Group calculates the impact on profit and loss of a defined interest rate shift. For each simulation, the same interest rate shift is used. The scenarios are run only for liabilities that represent the major interest-bearing positions.

Based on the simulations performed, the impact on profit or loss of a 50 basis-point shift would be a maximum increase/decrease of HK$72,000, HK$72,000, HK$42,000, HK$36,000 and nil for the years ended 31 March 2005, 2006 and 2007 and six months ended 30 September 2006 and 2007, respectively.

(iv) Foreign currency risk

The Target Group is exposed to foreign currency risk arising from Renminbi (“RMB”) currency exposures. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. In addition, the conversion of RMB into foreign currencies is subject to the rules and regulations of foreign exchange control promulgated by the PRC government. This currency exposure is managed primarily through sourcing raw material denominated in the same currency.

  • 99 -

FinAnciAl inFormAtion oF the coAG Group

Appendix ii

Certain of the assets of the Target Group are principally denominated in United States Dollar (“US$”). HK$ is pegged to US$, and thus foreign exchange exposure is considered as minimal. The Target Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy.

Prior to the revaluation of RMB in July 2005, foreign exchange exposure with respect to RMB is considered as minimal. During the years ended 31 March 2006 and 2007 and the six months ended 30 September 2007, if HK$ had strengthened/weakened by 5% against the RMB, with all other variable held constant, post-tax profit for the year/period would have been approximately HK$2,000, HK$52,000 and HK$3,000, respectively, higher or lower. At 31 March 2006 and 2007 and 30 September 2007, if HK$ had strengthened/weakened by 5% against the RMB, equity would have been approximately HK$22,000, HK$87,000 and HK$73,000, respectively, lower or higher.

(b) capital risk management

The capital structure of the Target Group consists of owner’s equity and debts, which include borrowings from directors, a fellow subsidiary, related companies and a third party, amounts due to directors, ultimate holding company, fellow subsidiaries and related companies, time deposit, bank balances and cash and equity attributable to equity holders of the Target Company, comprising issued capital and retained earnings respectively.

The Target Group’s objectives when managing capital are to finance its operations with its own capital and to safeguard the Target Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders.

The directors of the Target Company review the capital structure on an annual basis. As a part of this review, the directors of the Target Company consider the cost of capital and other sources of funds other than issuance of shares, including borrowings from directors, fellow subsidiaries and related companies and a third party. Based on the recommendation of the directors of the Target Company, the Target Group will balance its overall capital structure through raising or repayment of borrowings.

Where the capital level exceeds the working capital requirement, the Target Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders to reduce the working capital level.

The capital structure of the Target Group at 31 March 2005, 2006 and 2007 and 30 September 2007 were as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents
Restricted cash
Loans from directors
Loan from a fellow subsidiary
Loans from related companies

FinAnciAl inFormAtion oF the coAG Group

Appendix ii

The Target Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. The Target Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged throughout the Relevant Periods.

(c) Fair value estimation

The carrying amounts of the Target Group’s financial assets including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, amounts due from ultimate holding company, fellow subsidiaries and related companies; and financial liabilities including trade and other payables, amounts due to ultimate holding company, fellow subsidiaries and related companies and loans from directors, a fellow subsidiary, related parties and a third party, approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. The face values less any estimated credit adjustments for financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate their fair values.

4 criticAl AccountinG estimAtes And judGements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Target Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates or assumptions that have a significant risk of causing material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

estimated impairment of receivables

The Target Group records impairment of receivables based on an assessment of the recoverability of trade and other receivables, amounts due from ultimate holding company, fellow subsidiaries and related companies. Provisions for impairment are applied to trade and other receivables, amounts due from ultimate holding company, fellow subsidiaries and related companies where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be collectible. Impairment assessment requires the use of judgement and estimates. Where the expectation is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact carrying value of trade and other receivables and impairment charges in the period in which such estimate has been changed.

Allowance for obsolete inventories

The management of the Target Group reviews the inventories listing at each balance sheet date and identifies obsolete and slow moving inventory items which are no longer suitable for use in production. Allowance was made by reference to the latest market value for those inventories identified. In addition, the Target Group carries out an inventory review on a product-by-product basis at balance sheet date and makes the necessary write-down for obsolete items.

(a) pensions scheme – defined contribution plans

The employees of the Target Group in the PRC participate in defined contribution retirement schemes in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations. Each employee covered by these schemes is entitled, after his/her retirement from the Target Group, to a monthly pension as determined by these schemes. The local government authorities of the PRC are responsible for the pension liabilities to these retired employees. The Target Group made monthly contributions to these schemes at rates ranging from 31% to 44% of the basic salaries of employees during the Relevant Periods.

The Target Group has arranged for its Hong Kong employees to join the mandatory provident scheme (the “MPF Scheme”), under which each company of the Target Group in Hong Kong (the employer) and its employees make monthly contributions to the scheme at 5% of the employees’ earnings as defined under the Mandatory Provident Fund legislation. The contributions from each of the employers and employees are subject to a cap of HK$1,000 per month and thereafter contributions are voluntary. For the Relevant Periods, no contributions were forfeited.

The Target Group has no other obligations for the payment of retirement and other post-retirement benefits of employees or retirees other than the payments mentioned above.

On 16 March 2007, the National People’s Congress approved the Corporate Income Tax Law of the PRC (the “new EIT Law”), which is effective from 1 January 2008. Under the new EIT Law, the applicable EIT rate of the subsidiaries established in the PRC will be changed since 33% to 25% since 1 January 2008.

The tax of the Target Group’s (loss)/profit before income tax differs from the theoretical amount that would arise using the tax rate of 17.5% in Hong Kong as follows:

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for tax losses carry forward to the extent that realization of the related tax benefit through the future taxation profits is probable. The Target Group has unrecognised tax losses of approximately HK$26,798,000, HK$26,784,000, HK$25,821,000 and HK$25,751,000 as at 31 March 2005, 2006 and 2007 and 30 September 2007, respectively to carry forward against future taxable income. No deferred tax assets in respect of such losses have been recognised as at 31 March 2005, 2006 and 2007 and 30 September 2007 due to uncertainty of their future recoverability. The tax losses of HK$18,294,000, HK$18,231,000, HK$16,275,000 and HK$16,151,000 as at 31 March 2005, 2006 and 2007 and 30 September 2007, respectively have no expiry period.

During the year ended 31 March 2006, a worker (the “Plaintiff”) filed a statement of claim against Cyber On-Air (Asia) Limited (“COAA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Target Company, and New Concept Electronic Engineering Company (“EEC”), a sub-contractor appointed by COAA, alleging that COAA and EEC failed to provide and maintain a safe place of work and consequently he suffered from sustained injury. He claimed for damages of approximately HK$2,070,000 with interest and costs thereof. The directors of the Target Company are of the view that it is not practicable at this stage to determine with certainty the amount of damages to be awarded to the Plaintiff. Accordingly, no provision was made as at 31 March 2006.

During the year ended 31 March 2007, the Plaintiff discontinued the claim against COAA.

Administrative expenses increased from HK$2,171,000 in the six months ended 30 September 2006 to HK$2,398,000 in the six months ended 30 September 2007. The increase was mainly attributed to the increment of staff cost of HK$186,000 in relation to the salary review taken place in April 2007.

finance costs

For the years ended 31 March 2005, 2006 and 2007 and the six months ended 30 September 2006, finance costs amounted to HK$672,000, HK$678,000, HK$405,000 and HK$348,000 respectively, which represented the interest paid on loans from related companies, directors and independent third party. As the interest bearing loans were fully repaid in November 2006, no finance costs were recorded in the six months ended 30 September 2007.

income tax expenses

No provision for taxation was made for the years ended 31 March 2006 and the six months ended 30 September 2006 as the COAG Group had no estimated assessable profits.

Provision for taxation for the year ended 31 March 2005 and 2007 and the six months ended 30 September 2007 amounted to HK$1,407,000, HK$260,000 and HK$133,000 respectively. Such provisions for Hong Kong profits tax were calculated at the rate of 17.5% on the estimated assessable profits for the year/period. Provision for PRC enterprise income tax was calculated based on the statutory income tax rate of 33%.

loss for the year/period

Loss for the year decreased from HK$1,499,000 in the year ended 31 March 2005 to HK$511,000 in the year ended 31 March 2006. The decrease was mainly attributable to no provision of income tax expenses in 2006.

Loss for the year decreased from HK$511,000 in the year ended 31 March 2006 to HK$327,000 in the year ended 31 March 2007. The decrease was mainly attributable to the increase in turnover and improvement in gross profit ratio in 2007 as compared to 2006.

The COAG Group recorded loss attributable to equity holders for the six months ended 30 September 2006 amounted to approximately HK$434,000 and recorded an operating profit for the six months ended 30 September 2007 amounted to HK$701,000.

capital structure

There was no change in the equity capital structure of the COAG Group for the three years ended 31 March 2007 and the six months ended 30 September 2007.

exchange risk and hedging

As the majority of the COAG Group’s transactions, assets and liabilities are denominated in Hong Kong dollars, the exchange rate risk of the COAG Group is considered to be minimal.

contingent liabilities

He claimed for damages of approximately HK$2,070,000 together with interest and costs. The directors of COAG were of the view that it was not practicable to determine with certainty the amount of damages to be awarded to the plaintiff.

Note:

  1. The balances are extracted from the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Group as at 31 December 2007 as set out in the interim report of the Group for the six months ended 31 December 2007.

  2. The balances are extracted from the accountant’s report of COAG as set out in appendix II to this circular.

  3. The adjustment represents the cash consideration of HK$2 million and estimated transaction costs of HK$1.295 million in connection of the Acquisition.

  4. Upon completion of the Acquisition, the identifiable assets and liabilities of COAG will be accounted for in the consolidated financial statements of the Enlarged Group at fair value under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 3 “Business Combinations” (“HKFRS 3”). For the purpose of the unaudited pro forma balance sheet of the Enlarged Group, the Directors have estimated the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of COAG as at 30 September 2007 with reference to the valuation reports issued by Jones Lang LaSalle Sallmanns and in the opinion that such fair values did not materially differ from the corresponding carrying values. The amount in excess of the consideration over the Group’s share of fair value of the net identifiable assets of COAG is recognised as goodwill.

  5. Since the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of COAG, the consideration and the transaction costs at the date of acquisition may be different from their respective fair values used in the preparation of the above unaudited pro forma balance sheet of the Enlarged Group, the actual amount of goodwill, if any, may be different from the estimated amount shown in this appendix.

  6. The adjustment represents the elimination of balances between the Group and COAG.

  7. The adjustment represents the waiver of balances due from IEC by COAG pursuant to the Deed of Waiver dated 27 December 2007.

  8. The adjustment represents the reclassification of loans from a fellow subsidiary and amounts due from/(to) fellow subsidiaries, to loans from a related company and amounts due from/(to) related companies.

  9. No adjustments have been made to reflect any trading results or other transactions of the Group and COAG entered into subsequent to 31 December 2007 and 30 September 2007 respectively.

new World Mobile holdings limited

Rooms 1502-5 New World Tower 1, 16-18 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

inStruCtionS

In accordance with instructions from new World Mobile holdings limited (referred to as the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the “Group”) to value the property interests located in Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) and property interests leased to be acquired by the Group, we confirm that we have carried out property inspections, made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market values of the property interests as at 31 December 2007 (the “Valuation Date”).

This letter which forms part of our valuation report explains the basis and methodology of valuation, clarifying assumptions, valuation considerations, and limiting conditions of this valuation.

BASiS of VAluAtion

Our valuation of the property interest represents its market value which we would define as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently, and without compulsion”.

property VAluAtion of the enlArged group

Appendix V

property intereStS CAtegoriSAtion

The property interests are categorised as follows:

Group I – Property interests held by the Group for owner occupation in the PRC Group II – Property interests leased by the Enlarged Group in Hong Kong Group III – Property interests leased by the Group in the PRC

MethodS of VAluAtion

For the property interests in Group I which are held by the Group for owner occupation in the PRC, the direct comparison method is adopted where comparison based on prices realised on actual sales and asking prices of comparable properties is made. Comparable properties of similar size, character and location are analysed and carefully weighted against all the respective advantages and disadvantages of each property in order to arrive at a fair comparison of market value.

For the property interests in Group II and Group III which are leased or occupied under agreement by the Group in Hong Kong and the PRC, we have attributed no commercial value to the property interests due to inclusion of non-alienation clause or otherwise due to lack of substantial profit rent or short term nature as at the Valuation Date.

VAluAtion ASSuMptionS

As the property interests are held under long term Land Use Rights Contracts and/or Government Leases, we have assumed that the Group has free and uninterrupted rights to use the property interests for the whole of the unexpired term of their respective Land Use Rights Contracts and/or Government Leases without payment of any substantial sum of taxes or expenses. We have valued the property interests on an open market basis assuming sale with vacant possession.

Our valuations have been made on the assumption that the Group sells the property interests in the open market in their existing states without the benefit of a deferred term contracts, leasebacks, joint ventures, management agreements or any similar arrangements, which could serve to affect the values of the property interests.

No allowance has been made in our report for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the property interests valued nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the property interests are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect their values.

VAluAtion ConSiderAtionS

In valuing the property interests, we have complied with all the requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited; and the HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (First Edition 2005) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors effective from 1 January 2005.

Appendix V

title inVeStigAtion

We have been shown copies of various documents including State-owned Land Use Rights Certificate, Building Ownership Certificate and tenancy agreement relating to the property interests in the PRC. We also caused searches to be made at the Hong Kong Land Registry in respect of Hong Kong property and have made relevant enquiries. We have not examined the original documents to verify the existing title to the properties in the PRC and Hong Kong and any material encumbrances that might be attached to the properties or any lease amendments. However, we have relied considerably on the advice given by the Company’s PRC legal adviser, 上海市華益律師事務所, on the Group’s title to the property interests in Groups I and III.

liMiting ConditionS

We have relied to a considerable extent on information given by the Group, in particular, but not limited to, the sales records, tenure, planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, particulars of occupancy, floor areas and all other relevant matters.

We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of the properties. However, no structural survey has been made, but in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. We are not, however, able to report whether the properties are free of rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services.

We have not carried out detailed site measurements to verify the correctness of the site areas in respect of the properties but have assumed that the site areas shown on the documents are correct. All documents have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations. No on-site measurement has been taken.

We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Group. We have also been advised by the Group that no material factors have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view, and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.

Liability in connection with this valuation report is limited to the client to whom this report is addressed and for the purpose for which it is carried out only. We will accept no liability to any other parties or any other purposes.

This report is to be used only for the purpose stated herein, any use or reliance for any other purpose, by you or third parties, is invalid. No reference to our name or our report in whole or in part, in any document you prepare and/or distribute to third parties may be made without our written consent.
