Bonso Electronics International Inc. Announces Warrant Dividend
HONG KONG..(BUSINESS WIRE)..January 5, 2000. Bonso Electronics International
Inc. (Nasdaq/NMS: BNSO; BNSOW) announced today that the board of directors has
approved the declaration of a dividend consisting of newly authorized common
stock purchase warrants (the "New Warrants") to (i) the record holders of
Bonso's existing warrants at the close of trading on January 19, 2000 (the
"record date"), and (ii) all persons who exercised warrants between November 22,
1999, and the close of trading on January 19, 2000. The New Warrants will expire
on December 31, 2001.
Under the terms of the dividend, all warrantholders of record on the record date
and all persons who exercised their warrants between November 22, 1999, and
January 19, 2000, will receive one New Warrant for every warrant owned on the
record date or every warrant exercised. One share of Bonso's common stock may be
acquired upon the exercise of two New Warrants at an exercise price of $17.50
per share. No voting rights will attach to ownership of the New Warrants. The
company will have the right to redeem the New Warrants upon 30 days notice for a
redemption price of 1 cent per warrant in the event the public trading price of
the company's common stock equals or exceeds 110% of the then-current exercise
price of the warrants for 20 trading days within the preceding 30 trading days.
Bonso intends to register the distribution of the warrant dividend with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and hopes to qualify the New
Warrant for secondary trading on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market. Former
warrantholders who have exercised their warrants during the applicable period
may obtain New Warrants by submitting evidence of their exercise to the
Company's transfer agent-- U.S. Stock Transfer Corporation, 1745 Gardena Avenue

be exercised until Bonso registers the warrants to permit exercise with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission and any other applicable state
regulatory agencies.
Mr. Anthony So, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, stated: "I
believe that Bonso's common stock is undervalued and that the New Warrant may
provide our warrantholders and common stockholders who previously exercised
their warrants with the opportunity to realize value in the future as the
Company grows and prospers."

line of electronic scales and weighing instruments and electronic consumer and
health care products. The Company manufactures all of its products in the

ANNOUNCES NEW WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS PRODUCTS
HONG KONG - (BUSINESS WIRE) - January 24, 2000 - Bonso Electronics
International, Inc. (NASDAQ/NMS: BNSO; BNSOW) announces today that significant
contract manufacturing orders for a family of TWO-WAY Radios (walkie-talkies)
have been received and production shipments are currently being made. These
two-way radio products operate on the Family Radio System (FRS) channel
frequency and have a range of up to two miles. A significant production ramp up
is planned for the first calendar quarter of 2000 and beyond.
Anthony So, Chairman and CEO of Bonso, stated, "We are pleased to announce our
initial product entry into the fast growing telecommunication's arenas. This new
line of products demonstrate our expertise, as well as, our commitment to become
a significant supplier to OEM customers in the fast growing telecommunications
market."
On October 1, 1999, the Wall Street Journal stated that walkie-talkies are the
fastest growing consumer electronic GIZMO; outpacing high-definition TV and DVD
players. The article also quoted market research data showing growth from
200,000 units in 1997 to over 5,000,000 units being sold in 1999.
This new class of powerful, lightweight two-way radios is becoming increasingly
popular with homeowners who want to stay in constant contact with their kids,
nannies or neighbors. These new walkie-talkies aren't like the ones used years
ago. Three years ago, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) assigned 14
radio frequencies for "Family Radio Service." The new frequencies are not far
from the frequencies used by FM radio stations so they don't have the static
associated with the old models that operated on AM.
Bonso's product range includes entry-level models with one channel up to the top
of the line unit, which offers 14 channels, and as many as 38 sub-channels on
each frequency. All units include a "power-indicator" light. Some units include
a "call button" that sends out a tone before you send your message. The higher
priced models come with a setting that changes the tone to vibration, similar to
pagers or cell phones.
