<td valign="top" align="left"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">On October 11, 2004,
Best Hero Limited (“Best Hero”) issued a writ in the
Court of First Instance of the High Court of Hong Kong (the
“High Court”) against a subsidiary of the Company for a
claim of US$4,250,400. The claim related to two purchase orders
issued by the subsidiary on May 31, 2004 and June 1,
2004, respectively, to Best Hero for the purchase of LCD television
panels for a total purchase price of US$4,620,000. However, the LCD
television panels which were paid for in the initial shipment were
determined to be unacceptable to the subsidiary. Accordingly,
further delivery of the remaining orders was refused. Best Hero
alleged that the subsidiary had repudiated the contract, and
therefore Best Hero instituted legal proceedings to claim for
damages. A defence and counter-claim was filed by the subsidiary in
the High Court on December 28, 2004. Best Hero filed a Reply
and Defence to Counterclaim on January 11, 2005. No further
activity occurred in this case through March 31,
2013.</font></td>

<font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">In accordance
with FASB ASC 450 “Contingencies”, the Company believes
that with such a lengthy interval between the claim being filed and
there being no activity between the two parties, the probability
that the Company will incur a loss is remote. Accordingly, the
provision for this contingent liability of US$0.9 million was
reversed during the year ended March 31, 2011.</font></p>

<td valign="top" align="left"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">As of March 31, 2013,
the Company has accrued as a current liability US$4,879,338 for
unrecognized tax benefits and US$651,721 of related interest and
penalties. The unrecognized tax benefits relate mainly to potential
transfer pricing arrangements reflected in the Hong Kong and PRC
income tax returns of certain subsidiaries of the Company. The
final outcome of these tax uncertainties is dependent upon various
matters including tax examinations, legal proceedings, certain
authority proceedings, changes in regulatory tax laws and
interpretations of those tax laws, or expiration of statutes of
limitation. However, based on the number of jurisdictions, the
uncertainties associated with litigation, and the status of
examinations, including the protocols of finalizing audits by the
relevant tax authorities, which could include formal legal
proceedings, there is a high degree of uncertainty regarding the
future cash outflows associated with these tax
uncertainties.</font></td>
