The previously granted general mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX

1. GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Rule 13.08 and other relevant provisions of the GEM Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

2. GEM LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The GEM Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on GEM subject to certain restrictions, the more important of which are summarised below. The Company is empowered by its memorandum and articles of association to repurchase its own Shares.

Source of funds

Repurchase must be funded out of funds which are legally available for such purpose and in accordance with the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and the Companies Law (2002 Revision) of the Cayman Islands (the “Companies Law”). A listed company may not repurchase its own securities on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange.

Connected persons

The GEM Listing Rules prohibit a company from knowingly repurchasing shares on GEM from a “connected person”, that is, a director, chief executive, substantial shareholder or management shareholder of the company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) and a connected person is prohibited from knowingly selling his shares to the company on GEM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge of the Directors, no connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has any such connected person undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him to the Company in the event that such mandate as proposed in the Ordinary Resolution no. 6 is approved by the shareholders of the Company.

3. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 457,500,000 shares of HK$0.01 each.

– 8 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX

Subject to the passing of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 45,750,000 Shares of HK$0.01 each during the period from the date of passing of the Ordinary Resolution no. 6 up to (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by its memorandum and articles of association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the revocation, variation or renewal of the Repurchase Mandate by ordinary resolution of the shareholders of the Company in general meeting, whichever occurs first.

4. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASES

Although the Directors have no present intention of repurchasing any Shares of the Company, they believe that the flexibility afforded by the Repurchase Mandate would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchase of Shares will benefit the Company and its shareholders.

5. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum and articles of association, the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

Pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, repurchase would be funded entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities which will be funds legally available under applicable laws of the Cayman Islands for such purpose. The Company may not repurchase its own Shares on GEM for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full could have a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Company. The Directors do not, however, intend to make any repurchase in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or the gearing level of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

June	0.135	0.120
July (up to the Latest Practicable Date)	0.172	0.100

7. SUBSTANTIAL SHAREHOLDERS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the respective interests of each of the substantial shareholders, being persons or corporations who are entitled to exercise or control the exercise of 10% or more of voting power at any general meeting of the Company (the “Substantial Shareholders”) in the share capital of the Company are set out as follows:

			Approximate
	Number of	Nature of	percentage of
Name	Shares	interests	interests
Mr. So Yu Shing	242,215,000	personal interest	52.94%
Ms. Lai Yuen Mei,	74,225,000	personal interest	16.22%
Rebecca_(Note 1)_

Note:

1. Mr. So Yu Shing and Ms. Lai Yuen Mei, Rebecca are spouses and their deemed interest in the Company was 316,440,000 Shares representing approximately 69.16% of the entire issued share capital of the Company.

Save as disclosed above, no person has notified the Company that he has an interest amounting to 10% or more of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

8. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS, THE CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) currently intends to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries under the Repurchase Mandate if such is approved by the shareholders of the Company.

– 10 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, if granted, in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.

In the event that the Substantial Shareholders do not dispose of their Shares, and if the Repurchase Mandate were exercised in full, the percentage shareholding of the Substantial Shareholders of the Company before and after such repurchase would be as follows:

	Before	After
Substantial Shareholders	repurchase	repurchase
Mr. So Yu Shing	52.94%	58.83%
Ms. Lai Yuen Mei, Rebecca	16.22%	18.03%

If a shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase its Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Hong Kong Code on Takeover and Mergers (the “ Code ”). As a result, a shareholder or a group of shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Code.

In the event that the Directors exercised in full the power to repurchase shares of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Ordinary Resolution no. 6 to be proposed at the AGM, the total interests of Mr. So Yu Shing and Ms. Lai Yuen Mei, Rebecca in the existing issued share capital of the Company would be proportionally increased to approximately 58.83% and 18.03% respectively. On the basis of the shareholdings held by the Substantial Shareholders named above, an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full will not have any implications under the Code. The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to an extent as may result in mandatory offer under the Code.

Assuming that there is no issue of Shares in the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of a repurchase, an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate whether in whole or in part will result in less than the relevant prescribed minimum percentage of the Shares of the Company being held by the public as required by the Stock Exchange. The Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to an extent as may result in a public shareholding of less than such minimum percentage.

9. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not repurchased any of its Shares (whether on GEM or otherwise) during the 6 months preceding the date of this circular.
