3.	Limitations of Vendor’s Liability under this Deed

The covenants given by this Deed do not apply to any liability:

3.1

to the extent that provision or reserve in respect thereof has been made in the Audited Accounts or the Management Accounts or to the extent that payment or discharge of such liability has been taken into account therein; or

3.2

to the extent that the Tax liability arises or is increased by reason of any increase in rates of Tax made after the date hereof with retrospective effect or the passing of any legislation after the date hereof with retrospective effect; or

3.3

to the extent that the Tax liability would not have arisen but for any voluntary act of the Purchaser, the Company or any Subsidiary after the Completion Date which the Purchaser or the Company or the relevant Subsidiary ought reasonably to have known would give rise to such Tax liability, excluding any act:

(a)

carried out pursuant to a legally binding obligation carried out by any of the Company or the Subsidiaries entered into before Completion;

(b)

pursuant to any obligation imposed by law or regulation having the force of law;

(c)

taking place with the written approval of the Vendor or pursuant to the Agreement; or

occurring in the ordinary course of trade of the Purchaser, the Company or any relevant Subsidiary; or

the payment of any dividend;

the payment of tax of payable primarily by any other company (other than the Company or a Subsidiary);

(c)

any transaction the purpose of which is primarily to avoid taxation; or

(d)

any event giving rise to tax on deemed income, profits or gains (as opposed to actual income, profits or gains); or

3.5

to the extent that the Tax liability would not have arisen or would have been reduced or eliminated but for a failure or omission on the part of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries after the Completion Date to make any claim election or give any notice or consent or do any other thing the making or giving or doing of which was taken into account in computing the provision or reserve for taxation in the Audited Accounts; or

104

3.6

to the extent that the Tax liability would not have arisen but for a disclaimer of any relief or a revision to or revocation of a claim therefor where such revision or disclaimer is caused or made by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries after the Completion Date; or

3.7

to the extent that the Tax liability arises or is increased as a consequence of any failure by the Purchaser, the Company and/or any of the Subsidiaries to comply with any of their respective obligations under clause 4 of this Deed; or

3.8

to the extent that the Purchaser makes or has made recovery in respect of that liability for taxation under any provision of the Agreement; or

3.9

to the extent that the Tax liability arises or is increased as a result of any delay or default by the Purchaser or the relevant Company or Subsidiary in paying over to any Tax Authority any amount received from the Vendor under this Deed or for breach of the Tax Warranties; or

3.10

to the extent that an amount in respect of the Tax liability has already been recovered by the relevant Company or Subsidiary from another person (not being the Purchaser, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries); or

3.11

to the extent that it has been discharged before Completion; or

3.12

to the extent that written notice has not been given by the Purchaser to the Vendor of any Claim (stating in reasonable detail the specific matters in respect of which the Claim is made and, so far as practicable, the amount claimed) before the second anniversary of the date of Completion.

4.	Conduct of Claims

If the Purchaser becomes aware of any assessment, notice, demand or other document issued or action taken by or on behalf of any person, authority or body from which it appears that the Company or any of the Subsidiaries has or may have a liability in respect of which a claim could be made under this Deed, it shall give written notice thereof to the Vendor and shall (subject to being fully indemnified by the Vendor to the Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction against any Losses which may be incurred thereby) take such action and procure that the Company and/or the relevant Subsidiary shall take such action as the Vendor may reasonably request to dispute, resist or compromise the liability; provided that:

105

4.1

none of the Company, the relevant Subsidiary nor the Purchaser shall be required to take any such action before any court or appellate body unless the Vendor shall have produced to them the opinion of leading counsel practising in the relevant area of law that such action is reasonable; and

4.2

none of the Company, the relevant Subsidiary nor the Purchaser shall in any event be required to take any steps which would materially adversely affect the future conduct of the business of the Purchaser or the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of the Purchaser or affect the rights or reputations of any of them.

5.	Interest on Late Payments

5.1

Liability to Pay

If any payment due to be made by the Vendor under this Deed is not made on the due date for payment the Vendor shall pay interest on such sum for the period from and including the due date up to the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgement) in accordance with this Clause 5.

6.1

Guarantee and Indemnity

Each of the Vendor Guarantors hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (on a several basis subject to the limitations set out in paragraph 2.2 of Schedule 4 to the Agreement) to each of the Purchaser, the Company and the Subsidiaries (the “Beneficiaries”) the due and punctual performance and observance by the Vendor of all of its obligations, commitments, undertakings, warranties and covenants under or pursuant to this Deed and agrees to indemnify each of the Beneficiaries against all Losses (including legal costs and expenses) which the relevant Beneficiary may suffer through or arising from any breach by the Vendor of any such obligations, commitments, warranties, undertakings or covenants.

106

6.2

No Release or Discharge

The liability of each of the Vendor Guarantors under this Clause 6 shall not be released or diminished by any arrangements or alterations of terms (whether of this Deed, any of the Transaction Documents or otherwise) or any forbearance, neglect or delay in seeking performance of the obligations hereby imposed or any granting of time for such performance.

6.3

Default of the Vendor

If and whenever the Vendor defaults for any reason whatsoever in the performance of any obligation or liability undertaken or expressed to be undertaken by it under or pursuant to this Deed each of the Vendor Guarantors shall forthwith upon demand unconditionally perform (or procure performance of) and satisfy (or procure the satisfaction of) the obligation or liability in regard to which such default has been made in the manner prescribed by this Deed and so that the same benefits shall be conferred on each of the Beneficiaries as it would have received if such obligation or liability had been duly performed and satisfied by the Vendor. Each of the Vendor Guarantors hereby waives any rights which it may have to require any Beneficiary to proceed first against or claim payment from the Vendor to the intent that as between the relevant Beneficiary and each of the Vendor Guarantors the latter shall be liable as principal debtor as if it had entered into all undertakings, agreements and other obligations jointly and severally with the Vendor.

6.4

Continuing Guarantee

This guarantee and indemnity is to be a continuing security to each of the Beneficiaries for all obligations, commitments, warranties, undertakings, indemnities and covenants on the part of the Vendor under or pursuant to this Deed notwithstanding any settlement of account or other matter or thing whatsoever.

6.5

Additional Security

This guarantee and indemnity is in addition to and without prejudice to and not in substitution for any rights or security which any of the Beneficiaries may now or hereafter have or hold for the performance and observance of the obligations, commitments, undertakings, covenants, indemnities and warranties of the Vendor under or in connection with this Deed.

107

6.6

No Conflicting Claims

In the event of any of the Vendor Guarantors having taken or taking any security from the Vendor or any other Vendor Guarantors in connection with this guarantee and indemnity, the Vendor Guarantor hereby undertakes to hold the same in trust for each of the Beneficiaries pending discharge in full of all the Vendor Guarantor’s obligations under this Deed. The relevant Vendor Guarantor shall not, after any claim has been made pursuant to this Clause 6, claim from the Vendor or any other Vendor Guarantor any sums which may be owing to it from the Vendor or any other Vendor Guarantor or have the benefit of any set-off or counter-claim or proof against or dividend, composition or payment by the Vendor or any other Vendor Guarantor until all sums owing to each of the Beneficiaries in respect hereof shall have been paid in full.

6.7

Lack of Enforceability

As a separate and independent stipulation, each of the Vendor Guarantors agrees that any obligation expressed to be undertaken by the Vendor under this Deed (including, without limitation, any moneys expressed to be payable under this Deed) which may not be enforceable against or recoverable from the Vendor by reason of any legal limitation, disability or incapacity or any other fact or circumstance shall nevertheless be enforceable against or recoverable from each of the Vendor Guarantors as though the same had been incurred by the relevant Vendor Guarantor and the relevant Vendor Guarantor were sole or principal obligor in respect thereof and shall be performed or paid by the relevant Vendor Guarantor on demand.

7.	Further Assurances

The Vendor shall as soon as reasonably practicable give all such reasonable assistance and provide such reasonable information as the Purchaser shall reasonably request from time to time at the expense of the Vendor for the purpose of enabling the Purchaser, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries to make returns relating to accounting periods of the Company or any Subsidiary ending prior to the Completion Date and provide information as required to any Tax authority relating to such accounting periods and to negotiate any liability to Tax with any Tax authority relating to such accounting periods.

8.	Over Provisions and Refunds

8.1

If:

8.1.1

the auditors for the time being of the Company or the relevant Subsidiary shall certify (at the request and expense of the Vendor) that any provision for Tax in the Audited Accounts or the Management Accounts (excluding any provision for deferred Tax) has proved to be an over-provision; or

108

8.1.2

the auditors for the time being of the Company or the relevant Subsidiary shall certify (at the request and expense of the Vendor) that any Tax liability which has resulted in a payment having been made or becoming due from the Vendor under this Deed will give rise to a relief for the Company or any of the Subsidiaries which would not otherwise have arisen and shall further certify the value of that relief (taking into account timing differences), the amount certified shall be dealt with in accordance with sub-clause 8.2; or

8.1.3

the Company or the relevant Subsidiary shall, pursuant to a determination made by a relevant Tax authority become entitled to any repayment of Tax paid by the Company or a Subsidiary in respect of any period ending on or before Completion;

then any such amounts shall be dealt with in accordance with sub-clause 8.2.

8.2	Where it is provided under sub-clause 8.1 that any amount (the “Relevant Amount” for the purpose of this clause 8) is to be dealt with in accordance with this sub-clause 8.2:

8.2.1

the Purchaser shall procure that reasonable details thereof are given to the Vendor within 14 days;

8.2.2

the Relevant Amount shall first be set off against any payment then due from the Vendor under this Deed;

8.2.3

8.2.4

9.	Recovery From Other Persons

In the event of any payment becoming due from the Vendor pursuant to clause 2, if the Company or any of the Subsidiaries becomes aware that it is entitled to recover from some other person (not being the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any Tax authority) any sum in respect of the Tax liability that has resulted in that payment becoming due from the Vendor, then the Purchaser shall procure that the Company or the Subsidiary entitled to make that recovery shall (in either of those cases) promptly notify the Vendor of their entitlement and shall, if so required by the Vendor and at

109

the Vendor’s expense, procure that the Company or the relevant Subsidiary shall take all appropriate steps to enforce that recovery (keeping the Vendor fully informed of the progress of any action taken) and shall account to the Vendor for any sum so recovered (including any interest or repayment supplement received in respect thereof, less any tax chargeable on the Company or relevant Subsidiary in respect of that interest) after deduction of all costs and expenses incurred by the Company or the relevant Subsidiary in enforcing such recovery.

Schedule 8

Accounting Policies

Principal Accounting Policies

Prior to the date of this Agreement, in relation to the historical consolidated financial statements of the group, the ‘group’ comprises the Vendor and its subsidiaries, including the Group and the Excluded Subsidiaries. In relation to the consolidated financial statements to be prepared after the Completion Date, the ‘group’ shall comprise the Company and the Subsidiaries (excluding the Excluded Subsidiaries).

The principal accounting policies adopted or to be adopted in the preparation of the relevant consolidated financial statements are set out below:

(i)

Group reorganisation and basis of preparation

The accounts have been prepared or are to be prepared (as the context requires) under the historical cost convention, in accordance with applicable International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), including, without limitation, International Accounting Standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The accounts have been prepared or are to be prepared (as the context requires) under the historical cost convention, in accordance with applicable accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and comply with applicable accounting standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).

(ii)

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Vendor, the Group and the Excluded Subsidiaries (for historical purposes, references to the ‘group’ or the ‘group company’ shall be construed accordingly for the purposes of this Schedule 8) and the Company and the Subsidiaries (for post Completion purposes, reference to the ‘group’ or the ‘group company’ shall be construed accordingly) on the basis set out below.

Subsidiaries are companies over which the Vendor (for historical purposes) and the Company (for post Completion purposes) has control. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of a company so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The results of subsidiaries are included or excluded from their effective dates of acquisition or disposal respectively.

118

All material intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised surpluses and deficits on transactions between group companies (as the context requires) have been eliminated.

Minority interest represents the proportion of the results and net assets of subsidiaries not attributable to the group (as the context requires).

(iii)

Foreign currency translation

Transactions in foreign currencies are accounted for at exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates.

Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries together with all other monetary assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are translated into Hong Kong Dollars at the rates of exchange ruling at the year end. Results expressed in foreign currencies are translated into Hong Kong Dollars at the average rates of exchange ruling during the year.

Exchange difference arising from the retranslation of the net investment in foreign subsidiaries are taken directly to exchange reserves. On the disposal of these investments, such exchange differences are recognised in the consolidated income statement as part of the profit or loss on disposal. All other exchange differences are dealt with in the consolidated income statement.

(iv)

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation.

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lease period or 5 years, whichever is shorter.

Other property, plant and equipment are depreciated on the straight-line method at annual rates estimated to write off the cost of each asset to their residual values over its estimated life. The principal annual rates are as follows:

Office equipment 20% to 33.33%

Computer equipment 20% to 33.33%

Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are included in operating profit.

119

Repairs and maintenance are charges to the consolidated income statement during the financial year in which they are incurred.

(v)

Intangible assets

(a)

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the group’s (as the context requires) share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at costs less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. Each of those cash-generating units represents the group’s (as the context requires) investment in each country of operation by each primary reporting segment.

(b)

Research and development costs

Research costs are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects relating to the design and testing of new or improved products are recognised as an intangible asset where the technical feasibility and intention of completing the product under development has been demonstrated and the resources are available to do so, costs are identifiable and there is an ability to sell or use the asset that will generate probable future economic benefits. Such development costs are recognised as an asset and amortised on a straight-line basis over a period of not more than 3 years to reflect the pattern in which the related economic benefits are recognised. Development costs that do not meet the above criteria are expensed as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period.

(vi)

Operating leases

Leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership of assets are retained by the leasing company are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the leasing company) are charged to the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

120

(vii)

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises materials and transportation costs. It excludes borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.

(viii)

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the group (as the context requires) will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the consolidated income statement.

(ix)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.

(x)

Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the consolidated income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective yield method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group (as the context requires) has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

(xi)

Deferred taxation

Deferred taxation is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, if the deferred income tax arises from initial

121

recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, it is not accounted for. Deferred taxation is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred taxation is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the group (as the context requires) and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

(xii)

Employee benefits

(a)

Employee leave entitlements

Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.

Employee entitlements to sick leave and maternity leave are not recognised until the time of leave.

(b)

Pension obligations

The group (as the context requires) operates defined contribution plans in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia, the assets of which are held in separate trustee–administered funds. The pension plan is funded by payments from employees and by the group (as the context requires).

The group’s (as the context requires) contributions to the defined contribution plans are expensed as incurred and are reduced by contributions forfeited by those employees who leave the plans prior to vesting fully in the contributions.

(c)

Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable whenever an employee’s employment is terminated before the normal retirement date or whenever an employee accepted voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The group (as the context

122

requires) recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminate the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or to provide termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy.

(xiii)

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the group (as the context requires) has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Where the group (as the context requires) expects a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.

(xiv)

Contingent liabilities

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the group. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably.

A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the accounts. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable, they will then be recognised as a provision.

(xv)

Revenue recognition

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised on the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered to customers and title has passed.

Revenue from service agreements is recognised based on the stage of completion determined by reference to services performed to date as a percentage of total services to be performed.

The Group has been recognising and recording revenue based on the percentage of completion of work done within each month in accordance with the following formula:

Actual turnover recognised in current month = Actual turnover up to current month - actual turnover up to previous month where

123

Actual turnover up to current month = (actual hardware and software purchase and direct engineering cost incurred up to current month / estimated hardware and software purchase and direct engineering cost) x estimated turnover (project sum) and

Actual turnover up to previous month = (actual hardware and software purchase and direct engineering cost incurred up to previous month / estimated hardware and software purchase and direct engineering cost) x estimated turnover (project sum).

Service fee income is recognised when the services are rendered.

Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable.

(xvi)

Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the Vendor’s (for historical purposes) and the Company’s (post Completion purposes) shareholders is recognised as a liability in the group’s (as the context requires) financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Vendor’s (for historical purposes) and the Company’s (post Completion purposes) shareholders.

(xvii)

Financial risk factors

The group (as the context requires) is exposed to interest rate, foreign currency, credit and liquidity risks arising from its business activities. The group (as the context requires) has written risk management policies and guidelines defining its objectives and tolerance of risk in its business activities. Its risk management approach focuses on the review of these policies and guidelines on an ongoing basis, establishment of independent oversight and controls, as well as processes for identification, measurements, monitoring and management of its exposures on a regular basis.

(a)

Interest rate risk

The group’s (as the context requires) exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the group’s (as the context requires) bank and fixed deposits balances and bank loan balances.

The group (as the context requires) has cash and fixed deposit balances placed with reputable banks, which generate interest income for the group (as the context requires). The group (as the context requires) manages its interest rate risks by placing such balances on varying maturities and interest rate terms.

124

The group (as the context requires) also has interest rate risks arising from long-term bank loan. Bank loan issued at variable rates exposes the group (as the context requires) to cash flow interest-rate risks. The group (as the context requires) manages these exposures by monitoring closely the fluctuations of the loan’s interest rate.

(b)

Foreign exchange risk

The group (as the context requires) has foreign currency exposures mainly in Singapore Dollars, Malaysian Ringgit, United States Dollars, New Taiwan Dollars and Renminbi arising from its business activities. The group (as the context requires) manages these exposures by monitoring closely the fluctuations in these foreign exchange rates.

(c)

Credit risk

The group (as the context requires) has diversified portfolio of businesses and at balance sheet date, there was no significant concentration of credit risk with any entity.

(d)

Liquidity risk

As part of its overall prudent liquidity management, the group (as the context requires) maintains sufficient level of cash and cash equivalents to meet its working capital requirement.

(xviii)

Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The group (as the context requires) makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are mainly arising from the estimation of goodwill impairment.

The Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 1(e)(i) above. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations.
