Dear Sir or Madam,

A. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with information in respect of the resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting for the proposed (i) granting of general mandates to repurchase Shares and to allot, issue and deal with new Shares and (ii) re-election of the Directors who are due to retire.

At the Annual General Meeting, separate ordinary resolutions will be proposed to renew the general mandates given to the Directors (i) to allot, issue and otherwise deal with Shares of HK$0.1 each in the Company not exceeding 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of passing of the resolution; (ii) to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase issued and fully paid Shares on the Stock Exchange up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of the passing

of the resolution; (iii) to extend the general mandate granted to the Directors to allot, issue and deal with additional Shares as mentioned in paragraph (i) above by the amount representing the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate. The Repurchase Mandate allows the Company to make or agree to make repurchases only during the period ending on the earliest of (a) the date of the next annual general meeting; (b) the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law or by the Articles of Association; or (c) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company. The existing Repurchase Mandate granted to the Directors at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 19 August 2008 will expire at the Annual General Meeting.

From 12 December 2008 to 9 January 2009, the Company repurchased 26,428,000 ordinary shares of HK$0.1 each of the Company at prices between HK$0.44 to HK$0.57 per share on the Stock Exchange. The repurchase involved a total cash outlay of HK$13,270,920. The repurchased Shares were cancelled and accordingly the issued share capital of the Company was reduced by the nominal value of those Shares.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were in issue an aggregate of 1,091,238,666 Shares. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolutions for the grant of the general mandates as mentioned above, and on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting, exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate will result in up to 109,123,866 Shares being repurchased by the Company, and the Directors will be authorised to allot and issue under the general mandate to issue as mentioned above up to 218,247,733 Shares, and to the extent the Repurchase Mandate is exercised, plus the amount of Shares representing the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate.

An explanatory statement containing all relevant information relating to the proposed Repurchase Mandate is set out in the Appendix to this circular.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement given to all Shareholders, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide requisite information of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. LISTING RULES FOR REPURCHASES OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their fully-paid shares subject to certain restrictions, the more important of which are summarised below:

(a) Shareholders’ approval

All proposed repurchase of securities on the Stock Exchange by a company with primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of general mandate or by special approval of a particular transaction.

(b) Share capital

Under the Repurchase Mandate, the number of Shares that the Company may repurchase shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company at the date of the passing of the relevant resolutions granting the Repurchase Mandate. The Company’s authority is restricted to repurchases in accordance with the Listing Rules. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were in issue an aggregate of 1,091,238,666 Shares. Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate, on the basis that no further Shares would be issued or repurchased prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting, would accordingly result in up to 109,123,866 Shares being repurchased by the Company. The Shares repurchased by the Company shall, subject to applicable law, be automatically cancelled upon such repurchase.

(c) Reasons for repurchase

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares but consider that the Repurchase Mandate will provide the Company with the flexibility to make such repurchase when appropriate and is beneficial to the Company. Such repurchases may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share. As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 March 2009 (being the date of its latest published audited accounts), the Directors consider that there would not be any material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing position of the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing ratio of the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX

(d) Funding of repurchases

Repurchase of the Shares will be funded out of funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

The Company is empowered by its memorandum and articles of association to repurchase its Shares. The Cayman Islands law provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a Share repurchase may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the Shares repurchased, or the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for distribution by way of dividend or the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for such purpose. The amount of premium payable on repurchase may only be paid out of either the funds of the Company that would otherwise be available for distribution by way of dividend or out of the share premium of the Company. The repurchased Shares will remain part of the authorised but unissued share capital.

(e) Directors, their associates and connected persons

None of the Directors nor, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their associates has any present intention, in the event that the proposed Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company.

At the Latest Practicable Date, no connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company nor has he/she undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted.

(f) Undertaking of the Directors

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in the proposed resolution in accordance with the Listing Rules, the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

(g) Effect of the Takeovers Code

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder’s interests, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become(s) obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the register of the Shareholders maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 336 under Part XV of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong) showed that the Company has been notified of the following interests, being 5% or more of the Company’s issued share capital:

			Approximate
		Approximate	percentage

		shareholding	if the
		as at the	Repurchase
	Number of	Latest	Mandate is

Li Jialin	462,646,000	42.40%	47.11%
Liu Li	462,646,000	42.40%	47.11%
L&L Limited (Note)	241,500,000	22.13%	24.59%
Atlantis Investment Management

Zhou Guohui	264,533,332	24.24%	26.93%
Zhang Qing	75,762,000	6.94%	7.71%

Note: The entire issued share capital of L&L Limited is held by Mr. Li Jialin, the chairman and chief executive officer and executive director of the Company and Madam Liu Li (the spouse of Mr. Li Jialin) equally.

In the event that the Directors shall exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate, the total interests of the above Shareholders would be increased to approximately the respective percentages shown in the last column above and such increase will give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code but will not reduce the amount of Shares held by the public to be less than 25%.

The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to an extent as may result in the amount of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25% of the total issued share capital of the Company nor to an extent as would result in an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeover Code.

2. SHARE PURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

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