22 October 2010 
Dear Shareholders, 
 
As I am sure you are aware, the continued operation of the company, with its 
complex corporate structure, has been consuming valuable corporate cash.  Our 
current corporate structure is expensive, very complex and inappropriate for a 
company of our size.  We believe that a move to eliminate that structure is now 
appropriate. 
 
After careful consideration, our Board of Directors has unanimously determined 
that a summary wind up of the company is in the best interests of the 
shareholders.  Accordingly the Board is requesting shareholder approval of a 
special resolution to wind up the company and distribute its assets among the 
shareholders according to each shareholder's ownership in the company. 
 
To vote on the special resolution, please either attend the extraordinary 
general meeting of the company to be held on 23 November 2010 at 9:00 a.m., or 
ensure that you send back your signed enclosed proxy card to the attention of: 
Robert Cornman, Secretary, Berkeley Technology Limited, P.O. Box 715, Jersey JE4 
OPX, Channel Islands.  If the resolution is passed, I will write you further on 
our plans for the distribution of the company's cash and procedures to claim 
your entitlement. 
 
Sincerely, 
Arthur I. Trueger 
Chairman 
Berkeley Technology Limited
