The fresh Repurchase Mandate, if granted, will remain in effect until the earliest of (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 to be held by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands or the Listing Rules; and (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules, to be included in this circular concerning the repurchase of Shares by the Company.

1. EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 691,200,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate at the AGM and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be authorised under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 69,120,000 Shares during the period up to the next annual general meeting in 2008 or the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by law to be held or the revocation or variation of the Repurchase Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company, whichever occurs first.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors consider that the Repurchase Mandate will provide the Company with the flexibility to make such repurchases as and when appropriate and beneficial to the Company. Such repurchase may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

In repurchasing the Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum and articles of association and the applicable laws of Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands. The Companies Laws (2004 Revision) of the Cayman Islands (the “Laws”) provide that a share repurchase by the Company may only be made out of profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose or, if so authorised by the articles of association of the Company and subject to the provisions of the Laws, out of capital. Any premium payable on a repurchase over the par value of the Shares repurchased or conditionally or unconditionally to be purchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company’s share premium account or, if so authorised by the articles of association of the Company and subject to the provisions of the Laws, out of capital.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

4. IMPACT ON WORKING CAPITAL OR GEARING POSITION

There may be material adverse impact on the working capital or the gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the Company’s audited accounts for the year ended 31 March 2007) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital or gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the proposed resolution in accordance with the Listing Rules and all applicable laws of the Cayman Islands, and in accordance with the regulations set out in the memorandum and articles of association of the Company.

6. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE

If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such an increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 and Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors are not aware of any Shareholders, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, who may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 and Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code in the event that the Directors exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

7. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CONNECTED PERSONS

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

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 Company is authorised to make repurchases of Shares.
