CHANGE OF AUDITORS
The Board announces that Mazars CPA Limited be appointed as auditors of the
Group following the resignation of Messrs. Moores Rowland Mazars upon their
reorganisation with effect from 1 June 2007.
The board of directors (the “Board”) of e-Kong Group Limited (the “Company” and
together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) received a written notice from the
Company’s auditors, Messrs. Moores Rowland Mazars (“MRM”), stating that their firm
would be reorganised with effect from 1 June 2007 whereby some of their partners
would join Mazars CPA Limited (“Mazars”) and the rest would join Grant Thornton.
In the circumstances, a resolution was proposed during the annual general meeting of
the Company held on 15 May 2007 (the “AGM”) that, given the said reorganisation
of MRM, the Board be authorised to appoint replacement auditors of the Company
which replacement auditors will hold office until the conclusion of the next annual
general meeting of the Company and to fix their remuneration. Such resolution was
duly passed by the shareholders of the Company at the AGM.
MRM has tendered their resignation as auditors of the Group with effect from 31 May
2007, and confirmed that there were no circumstances connected with their resignation
which they consider should be brought to the attention of the shareholders of the
Company or its subsidiaries. In this connection, the Board is not aware of any matters
that should be brought to the attention of the shareholders of the Company or its
subsidiaries.
The Board hereby announces that Mazars be appointed as auditors of the Group with
effect from 1 June 2007 to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general
meeting of the Company.
The Board would like to thank MRM for their services and support to the Group.
