INFORMATION ON THE TARGET GROUP

The Target Company is an investment holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability.

As the Target Company has not commenced business since the date of its incorporation on 2 January 2008 except the entering into of the PRC Acquisition Agreement on 16 August 2009, the Target Company has no net profit attributable to its assets since incorporation. Upon completion of the acquisition of the PRC Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of the PRC Acquisition Agreement, the PRC Company will become the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Target Company. As at the Last Trading Date, no significant assets and liabilities were held or owned by the Target Company.

For the years ended 31 December 2007 and 2008, the PRC Company recorded a net loss (before and after taxation and extraordinary items) of RMB454,696.30 (equivalent to approximately HK$516,700.34) and RMB8,624,782.17 (equivalent to approximately HK$9,800,888.83) respectively. The net asset value of the PRC Company as at 31 December 2008 was RMB20,821,742.01 (equivalent to approximately HK$23,661,070.47).

The PRC Company is a company incorporated in the PRC which is principally engaged in the development of the technologies in relation to electronic products, computer software and computer network; operation of materials supply and marketing in the PRC; import and export business and advertisement industry. The PRC Company is now focusing on carrying out the Project and the research and development of the Relevant Products. By using the Relevant Products, the passengers in the aircraft may get access to various kinds of electronic information, e.g. movies, music, TV programs and e-magazines. The PRC Company aims to, through the Project, develop a publishing platform in airports and aircrafts by the application of the Relevant Products so as to develop the advertisement business segment.

— 9 —

To implement the Project, the PRC Company entered into the Aviation Cooperation Agreement with Tianjin Airlines. Pursuant to the said agreement, the Relevant Products will be installed in the designated flights of the Tianjin Airlines. The PRC Company will be responsible for the maintenance of the Relevant Products and provision of the said electronic information. The installation and application of the Relevant Products on the designated flights of the Tianjin Airlines are targeted to be completed in March 2010.

The PRC Company is negotiating with several domestic airlines for the application of the Relevant Products on their respective flights. Furthermore, the PRC Company is liaising with several media providers e.g. Google for provision of the said electronic information through the Relevant Products on co-operation basis.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Company is an investment holding company. The Group is principally engaged in apparel sourcing, apparel trading and sales support services and the activity of a Premier League football club.

With the continuing economic growth and the improvement of living standards in the PRC, the number of passengers travelling by plane and the number of flights have increased drastically over recent years in the PRC. Aviation media is an advanced publishing platform for advertising as the products or services can be promoted to foreigners and can capture the consumer group with higher consuming powers. After taken into account of (i) the cost-saving advantage of the PRC Company for using its self-developed server and machine to develop the aviation media; (ii) the entering into of the Aviation Cooperation Agreement; (iii) the business plan of the PRC Company to develop a publishing platform in order to generate income from advertising; (iv) the Guaranteed Profit; and (v) the fact that the Target Company may exercise the rights contemplated in the Aviation Cooperation Agreement through the PRC Company after the completion of the acquisition of the PRC Company by the Target Company, the Board is of the opinion that the Acquisition shall provide a good opportunity for the Company to participate in the aviation media business, which in turn will not only enlarge the markets of the Group, but will also broaden the Company’s revenue base which would have a positive impact on profitability of the Company.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Acquisition was entered into under normal commercial terms which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
