INVESTMENT FOCUS

Investment Portfolio and Value Proposition
ITG's investment portfolio comprises seven key synergistic investments in subsidiaries and associated companies and seven financial investments. We call these companies our Partner Companies as we believe in working together to grow our businesses.

We actively integrate our Partner Companies into a collaborative network that leverage on Collective Resource, namely the knowledge, management and technical expertise, contacts, industry relationships and resources of our Management Team, Board of Directors, Advisory Board, Partner Companies ( and their strategic alliances) and Strategic Investors. Through our collaborative network, we aim to bring business contacts and the sharing of knowledge and resources among our Partner Companies - thus promoting business collaboration and innovation. Events and or conferences are organised to allow Partner Companies and the ITG management team to congregate and interact with one another to discuss strategic issues such as new technologies, market trends and development and stimulate alliance amongst Partner Companies.

Acting as a long-term partner, ITG's management team which comprises professional managers who have vast experience in operations as well as corporate services could provide the management bandwidth to our Partner Companies by actively participate in the formation of business strategies, provide operational support, and promote synergistic collaborations between and amongst the Partner Companies. Besides that, we seek to ensure the Partner Companies strive to achieve operational profitability and may restructure or merge certain Partner Companies with a view to being them to public listing.

Investment Focus

Due to dramatic change in the business environment in the last quarter of 2000 , ITG has sharpened its strategy :

· Stop making venture capital type financials investments and
· To focus investments effort in companies specialise in on e-consulting, e-solutions, software development and directory activities only.

ITG believes that the Internet will become a tool to all businesses, traditional as well as new economies. The power of the Internet rests on the fact that it enables the traditional businesses to leverage and to provide online, current information on prices, product and service availability to reach a global audience. It links the firms to its external parties, like customers, suppliers, alliance partners, manufacturers, components distributors etc. Therefore we conclude that :

· Internet will not replace the brick and mortar businesses but online capabilities will become an integral part of most businesses in both the old and the new economies
· Demand for e-consulting and e-enabling services will continue to grow in the region
· Regional/global delivery capabilities and cost leadership will be key competitive advantages amongst the e-enablers
· Contents such as directories for industries and consumer will continue to grow as the purchasing function becomes more critical to enterprises and consumers become more discerning in their buying behaviour.

ITG is focused on investing in and building companies that specialize in e-consulting, e-solutions, software development and directory businesses. Our mission is to integrate our partner companies into a collaborative network that leverages on the collective resources and thus allow each partner company to offer global delivery of quality services at competitive prices via the ITG alliances.
