    Information on Tripoly

    Tripoly was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China on 5 November 1993. Currently it has an authorised capital of USD1,000,000 and a paid up capital of USD1,000,000. TRI holds 80% of the total equity of Tripoly whilst Beijing Yuan Tong Electronic System United Company (“Beijing Yuan Tong”), holds the remaining 20%. Tripoly’s principal activity was to manufacture and sell telephone auto answering machines, calculator’s software and hardware, communication engineering programme and technical support inquiry services. Tripoly’s business licence was revoked by the authorities in 2006.

    Rationale for the Special Liquidation

    The application for the Special Liquidation was made by TRI on the ground that Tripoly could not operate normally and the nominee directors of Beijing Yuan Tong could not be located. Tripoly has been treated in the books of TRI as an investment instead of a subsidiary since 2002, due to loss of control and significant influence.

    Financial Effects of the Special Liquidation

    The Special Liquidation will not have any material effect on the consolidated earnings of TM Group for the year ending 31 December 2008.

    Directors’ and Substantial Shareholders’ Interest
