DRAGON<01184> - Announcement The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited takes no responsibility for the contents of this announcement, makes no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this announcement. S.A.S. DRAGON HOLDINGS LIMITED (incorporated in Bermuda with limited liability) (Stock Code : 1184) ANNOUNCEMENT IN PURSUANCE OF RULES 13.13 AND 13.15 OF THE LISTING RULES This announcement is made by the directors of the Company in compliance with the disclosure requirements under Rules 13.13 and 13.15 of the Listing Rules. Due to inadvertent oversight, the Company failed to disclose details of the advance to an entity by the Group, comprising Trade Receivables which exceeded 8% of the Market Capitalisation of the Company. As at 31 December 2004, trade receivables due to S.A.S. Dragon Holdings Limited (the "Company") together with its subsidiaries (collectively the "Group") from Shenzhen Sze Hung Imports & Exports Ltd ("Sze Hung") and Time Speed Electronic (Taiwan) Company Limited ("Time Speed") amounted to approximately HK$28,968,000 and HK$23,831,000 respectively, representing approximately 15.2% and 12.5% respectively of the market capitalisation of approximately HK$190,637,000. Each of them exceeds eight per cent in terms of the relevant percentage ratios as defined in the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the "Listing Rules") on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange"). Neither Sze Hung nor Time Speed is a connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company. Such trade receivables are unsecured, interest-free and with credit terms 120 days. They primarily arose from sales of electronic components. As at 31 December 2004, there were 242,540,720 shares of the Company in issue. Based on the average closing price of the Company's shares of HK$0.786 as stated in the Stock Exchange's daily quotation sheets for trading days from 24 December 2004 to 31 December 2004 (both days inclusive), being the five business days immediately preceding 31 December 2004, the total market capitalisation of the Company was HK$ 190,637,000 as at 31 December 2004. Save as disclosed above, the Company does not have other disclosure obligations under Rules 13.13 and 13.15 of the Listing Rules. Under Rule 13.13 of the Listing Rules, the Company should have disclosed the relevant trade receivables due from Time Speed since 31 March 2004, being the date when the current Rule 13.13 came into effect. However, due to inadvertent oversight, the Company failed to do so. The Stock Exchange reserves the right to take appropriate action against the Company and/or its directors in respect of such failure. As at the date of this announcement, the executive directors of the Company are Mr. Yim Yuk Lun, Stanley, Mr. Wong Sui Chuen, Mr. Cheung Yuk Kuen and Mr. Lau Ping Cheung. The non-executive director is Dr. Chang Chu Cheng. The independent non-executive directors are Mr. Chang Ping Kin, Mr. Cheung Chi Kwan, Mr. Liu Chun Ning, Wilfred, Dr. Lui Ming Wah and Mr. Wong Tak Yuen, Adrian. By Order of the Board Yim Yuk Lun Stanley Chairman and Managing Director Hong Kong, 18 March 2005
