into a Lease of the Premises.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. The Lease

On 11 April 2003, the Company as tenant entered into an agreement with Aldenham
as landlord for the Lease of the Premises. The principal terms of the Lease are
as follows:

Date : 11 April 2003

Landlord : Aldenham

Tenant : The Company

Premises : approximately 5,673 square feet of 29th and 30th Floors, 12 Bowen
Road, Hong Villa, Hong Kong

Terms : 2 years commencing 1 April 2003

Rent : HK$250,000 per month (inclusive of rates and management fees)

The entering into of the Lease constituted a connected transaction under Rule
14.25(1) of Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules because Aldenham is a company 50%
owned by the spouse of Mr. Allan WONG Chi Yun (a director and substantial
shareholder of the Company (holding directly and indirectly in aggregate
approximately 41.22% of the entire issued share capital of the Company)) and 50%
by a trust the beneficiaries of which are Mr. Allan WONG Chi Yun and his family
members and should therefore be disclosed by way of press notice containing
details of the transaction. Furthermore, brief details of the Lease will be
required to be included in the Company's next published annual report and
accounts.

On 11 April 2003, the Company and Aldenham entered into a lease as mentioned
above. The Directors (including the independent non-executive directors) are of
the view that the Lease had been entered into upon normal commercial terms which
are fair and reasonable at the prevailing market rate with reference to a
valuation report conducted by an independent qualified surveyor and in the
interest of the Company and its independent shareholders.

II. Reasons for the Lease

The Premises was leased for the purpose of providing housing to Mr. Allan WONG
Chi Yun in accordance with the terms of his employment contract. Mr. Allan WONG
Chi Yun's service contract provides that the Company shall pay for him the
monthly rental of his residence during the continuance of his employment with
the Company. The entering into of the Lease shall not additionally increase the
total emoluments entitled by Mr. Allan WONG Chi Yun but is an incentive used for
the retention of his services as an employee of the Company.

III. General

The Group is principally engaged in the business of the design, manufacture and
distribution of electronic learning products and telecommunication products.

The Lease constituted a connected transaction pursuant to Rule 14.25(1) of
Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. As the value of the Lease is less than 3% of
the book value of the latest audited net tangible assets of the Company and
HK$10 million, the Lease is only required to be disclosed by way of press notice
and inclusion of the details of the Lease in the Company's next published annual
report and accounts.
