CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been established as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high investment risk may be attached. In particular, companies may list on GEM with neither a track record of profitability nor any obligation to forecast future profitability. Furthermore, there may be risks arising out of the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM and the business sectors or countries in which the companies operate. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the main board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.
The principal means of information dissemination on GEM is publication on the Internet website operated by the Stock Exchange. Listed companies are not generally required to issue paid announcements in gazetted newspapers. Accordingly, prospective investors should note that they need to have access to the GEM website in order to obtain up-to-date information on GEM-listed issuers.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with further information on the Placing, the Specific Mandate and other additional information as required by the GEM Listing Rules and to give you notices of the EGM and the Class Meetings.
Vision Finance Capital has been appointed by the Company as the financial adviser to the Company, and Vision Finance Securities and SBI Crosby have been appointed as the Joint Placing Agents in relation to the Placing.
PRELIMINARY PLACING AGREEMENT
Date:
2 March 2007
Parties:
-
(1) The Company
-
(2) Vision Finance Securities; and
-
(3) SBI Crosby
Number of Placing Shares:
An aggregate of not more than 177,941,177 Placing Shares, representing approximately 27.5% of the existing issued share capital of the Company and 22.0% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the Placing (assuming that the maximum number of the Placing Shares have been issued and sold), will be severally placed by the Joint Placing Agents on a best effort basis upon the terms of the Definitive Placing Agreement.

– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Placees:
It is intended that the Placing Shares will be placed to not less than 6 but not more than 50 independent professional, institutional and/or individual investors who are independent of and not connected with any of the promoters, directors, supervisors, chief executives, substantial shareholders or management shareholders of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective associates.
The Company and the Joint Placing Agents will ensure that no new substantial Shareholder will be introduced as a result of the Placing.
Placing Price:
The Placing Price will be determined upon execution of the Definitive Placing Agreement, with reference to the average of the closing price of the H Shares for the 15 consecutive trading days before the date of execution of the Definitive Placing Agreement, subject to a discount of not more than 20% but the Placing Price should not in any event be less than the net asset value per H Share based on the Company’s latest published audited net assets. This discount rate of not more than 20% is determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Joint Placing Agents. Given the continuous funding requirement as a result of the expected launch of 3G in the PRC in 2007, and having considered the volatility of price and trading volume of H Shares since 2007, the Directors consider that the current pricing mechanism is reasonable to attract investors.
For reference and illustrative purposes only, the indicative placing price is approximately HK$0.32 per New H Share (being a maximum discount of 20% to the average closing price of the H Share as quoted on GEM for the 15 consecutive trading days ended on 2 March 2007) and represents a premium of approximately 23.08% to the audited net assets per Share of approximately HK$0.26 as at 31 December 2006 (calculated based on the audited consolidated net assets attributable to the Shareholders as at 31
December 2006 of approximately RMB170.35 million (equivalent to approximately HK$170.35 million) as quoted in the results announcement for the year ended 31 December 2006 of the Company dated 9 March 2007 and 647,058,824 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date).
Subject to the fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the paragraph headed “Conditions of the Preliminary Placing Agreement” below and the Company and the Joint Placing Agents agreeing on the terms of the Definitive Placing Agreement, it is expected that the Definitive Placing Agreement will be executed as soon as practicable after the fulfillment of such conditions. The Definitive Placing Agreement will set out the definitive terms of the Placing, including the Placing Price. The Company will make further announcement(s) in relation to the Placing, including the major terms of the Definitive Placing Agreement, as and when necessary in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Notes:
-
(1) On 29 November 2006, SASAC approved the transfer of the 45,064,706 Domestic Shares held by Shaanxi Silk to Shenzhen Huitai, an independent third party not connected with the promoters, the directors, the supervisors, the chief executive, the substantial or the management shareholders of the Company and its subsidiaries or any of their associates. However, the approval by the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC has not been obtained and the registration procedures with the Shaanxi Provincial Administration of Industry and Commerce have not been completed on the Latest Practicable Date.
-
(2) The sum of all percentage may not add up to 100% due to rounding discrepancies.
REASONS FOR THE PLACING AND PROPOSED USE OF PROCEEDS
The Group is principally engaged in the research and development, manufacture and sale of base station antennas and related products. In connection with such principal business, the Company also provides technical support, system integration and installation services of base station antennas.
As stated in the results announcement for the year ended 31 December 2006 of the Company, the Group will continue to enhance its product portfolio and to participate in various 3G network trials and testing, in order to prepare for the launch of 3G commercial application. It is expected that the PRC government will build more TD-SCDMA networks for testing the 3G technology platform in 2007 with an aim to prepare for future commercialisation of the self-developed standard before 2008 Olympic games are held. In response to the business opportunities expected to be arisen from the official launch of 3G in the PRC, the Directors expect that additional funding will be required to develop new products with an aim to achieve product diversification and to increase competitiveness in the market.
Based on the maximum number of the New H Shares of 161,764,706 to be issued under the Placing and the indicative placing price of approximately HK0.32 per New H Share (being a maximum discount of 20% to the average closing price per H Share as quoted on GEM for the 15 consecutive trading days ended on 2 March 2007), the gross proceeds from the placing of the New H Shares are estimated to be approximately HK$51.76 million.
It is intended that the net proceeds from the placing of the New H Shares will be applied as follows:
-
as to approximately 48% for further investment in production of TD-SCDMA products;
-
as to approximately 15% for further empowering of the Group’s research and development capabilities in order to enhance its product portfolio for existing business;
-
as to approximately 8% for expansion of international market;
– 11 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
-
as to approximately 14% for repayment of bank loans of the Group; and
-
as to approximately 15% to be used as the general working capital of the Group.
Investors should note that final amount of fund raised will only be ascertained upon execution of the Definitive Placing Agreement.
The Directors consider that the Placing represents a good opportunity for the Company to raise further funding for expanding its operation and also broaden its shareholder and capital bases. The Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors, believe that the terms of the Preliminary Placing Agreement are fair and reasonable and that the Placing is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
