INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The Company is a limited company incorporated in Bermuda and is an investment holding company. The Group is principally engaged in (i) the garment sourcing business and (ii) the provision of financial services.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITIONS

Having considered the available cash of the Group and the low interest rate environment, the Group is looking for investments in high quality blue chip companies that provide a solid and regular dividend yield in order to boost the Group's income stream. CNOOC is the largest producer of offshore crude oil and natural gas in China and one of the largest independent oil and gas exploration and production companies in the world while China Mobile Group is the leading provider of mobile telecommunications and related services in Mainland China and both companies have long history of paying dividends to its shareholders.

In addition to the regular income that may be achieved from the receipt of dividends declared by CNOOC and China Mobile, the Group is optimistic of the prospects of CNOOC and China Mobile and expects to benefit from capital gains once the share price of the CNOOC and China Mobile shares recovers. The Group considers that the Acquisitions are prudent and conservative, and will enhance the returns on investment for the Group and ultimately benefit the Shareholders as a whole.

As the Acquisitions were made at prevailing market price and on the open market of the Stock Exchange, the Directors considered that the terms of the Acquisitions are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
