EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

This Appendix contains the particulars that are required by the Listing Rules to be included in an explanatory statement to enable the Shareholders to make an informed view on whether to vote for or against the resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the mandate to repurchase Shares (“Repurchase Mandate”).

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 367,954,000 Shares.

Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate, on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to 29th April, 2008, being the date of the Annual General Meeting, could accordingly result in up to a maximum of 36,795,400 Shares being repurchased by the Company during the course of the period from 29th April, 2008 to the earliest of (i) the date of the 2009 annual general meeting; (ii) the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by law; and (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied.

REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to purchase Shares in the market. Such purchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net value of the Company and its assets and/or its earnings per share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a purchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, repurchases would be funded entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities which will be funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with all applicable laws of Bermuda and the Company’s memorandum of association and Bye-laws.

– 11 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

APPENDIX II

On the basis of the consolidated financial position of the Company as at 31st December, 2007 (being the date to which the latest published financial statements of the Company have been made up), the Directors consider that the exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares might have a material adverse impact on the working capital position of the Company as compared with its position as at 31st December, 2007. No purchase would be made in circumstances that might have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the latest published audited financial statements) unless the Directors considered that such purchases were in the best interests of the Company notwithstanding such material adverse impact.

SHARE PRICES AND REPURCHASED SHARES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the previous twelve months are as follows:

Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
April 2007 1.00 0.81
May 2007 0.96 0.82
June 2007 1.20 0.90
July 2007 1.04 0.95
August 2007 1.02 0.80
September 2007 1.10 0.88
October 2007 0.96 0.88
November 2007 0.95 0.86
December 2007 0.92 0.80
January 2008 0.85 0.65
February 2008 0.77 0.72

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a share repurchase, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting capital of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code and, if such increase results in a change of control, may in certain circumstances give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer for Shares under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code, according to Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Respected International Limited (“RIL”) was interested in 169,062,000 Shares, representing 45.94% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the shareholding of RIL in the Company would be increased to 51.05% of the issued share capital of the Company. The increase of RIL’s proportionate interest in the voting capital of the Company will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, RIL or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholders’ interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and, when exceeding the 2% creeper, become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a result of any such increase. Save as disclosed herein, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would trigger the application of the Takeovers Code in the manner described above.

RIL has notified the Company that if the Repurchase Mandate is approved and exercised, it has no present intention to sell Shares to the Company.

CONNECTED PERSONS

No persons who are connected persons of the Company have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company nor have they undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved.

DIRECTORS

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, their respective associates have any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved, to sell any Shares to the Company.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they would exercise the power of the Company to make purchases pursuant to the proposed ordinary resolution in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda, the jurisdiction in which the Company is incorporated.
