10:49 VITASOY INT'L<00345> - Announcement (2) Cap for the financial year ending 31st March, 2006 The Directors propose to set the amount of HK$4,000,000 as a cap amount for the Transactions for the financial year ending 31st March, 2006 (the "2006 Cap"). The 2006 Cap has been determined by reference to the value of the Transactions for the year ended 31st March, 2005 and the management's view on the market condition of milk supply and milk processing and packaging services in the forthcoming financial year. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS The Transactions arise from the long term business relationship with Guangming. The Directors consider that the Milk Supply Agreement would provide the Group with a reliable supply of milk products, which is important and beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Transactions are of a recurring nature and the Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors, consider that the Transactions: (i) have been entered in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company and in accordance with the terms of the Milk Supply Agreement; (ii) are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Shareholders as a whole; and (iii) are either on normal commercial terms, or if there are not sufficient comparable transactions to judge whether they are on normal commercial terms, on terms no less favourable than terms available to or from (as appropriate) independent third parties. GENERAL As the percentage ratios (other than the profits ratio) calculated according to Rule 14.07 of the Current Listing Rules using the 2006 Cap are on an annual basis less than 2.5%, the Transactions will constitute continuing connected transactions under Rule 14A.34(1) of the Current Listing Rules, which are only subject to the reporting and announcement requirement and are exempt from the independent Shareholders' approval requirement. Details of the Transactions for the financial year ending 31st March, 2006 will be disclosed in the Company's 2006 Annual Report. If at any point in time the actual aggregate value of the Transactions under the Milk Supply Agreement for the period 1st April, 2005 to 13th March, 2006 (the expiry date of the Milk Supply Agreement) exceeds the 2006 Cap, the Company will re-comply with the requirements of the Current Listing Rules. The principal business activities of the Company are the manufacture and sale of food and beverages. Guangming is a PRC company and its principal business activities are the manufacture and sale of dairy products, development of biotechnology and high technological husbandry, tourism and engagement in industrial activities.
