    the shares of Teletech International Holdings Limited, the ultimate
    shareholder of the Company. The Grande Group had expertise in the
    manufacture and sale of computer monitors.

-   In 1993, Capetronic (Thailand) Limited (“CTL”) was incorporated as a
    wholly owned subsidiary of the Company to produce computer monitors.
    The total investment was Baht 40 million. BOI certificate was
    granted to CTL for the production of computer monitors with 3 years
    corporate income tax exemption (1993-1996).

-   In 1993, the Company purchased 50 percent of Capetronic Computer
    Products Holdings Limited (“CCPH”), the holding company for a
    computer monitor manufacturing, design, sales and service group from
    Capetronic Holdings Limited. This acquisition gave the Company
    access to Capetronic’s monitor manufacturing techniques, its design
    skills and customer base and also would result in the transfer to
    the Company of Capetronic’s significant technology built up through
    its more than 10 years experience in the computer monitor industry.

    production to the Company and the Company started production of
    computer monitors. CTL also transferred its BOI privilege to the
    Company.

    privilege for the production of PCD computer monitors and electronic
    products was granted to the Company with corporate income tax
    exemption during 1995 to 1997. However, the Company ceased
    production of PCD monitors in 1996 due to the decline in market
    demand for these products caused by changes in technology.

-   By the end of 1999, Capetronic (Kaohsiung) Corporation transferred
    computer monitor production including LCD monitors to the Company.

-   At present, the Company has its registered share capital of Baht
    13,861.34 million and issued and fully paid capital of Baht 9,507.12
