LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among others, (i) further information relating to the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including the grant of the Specific Mandate for the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares); and (ii) the notice convening the EGM.
SUBSCRIPTION OF NEW SHARES UNDER SPECIFIC MANDATE
On 31 October 2016 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange), the Company entered into the Subscription Agreement with the Investor, pursuant to which the Investor has conditionally agreed to subscribe for, and the Company has conditionally agreed to allot and issue, a total of 23,437,980 Subscription Shares at the Subscription Price of HK$1.49 per Subscription Share. Principal terms of the Subscription Agreement are summarised below:
The Subscription Agreement
Date: 31 October 2016 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange)
Parties:
Issuer: the Company; and Investor: Wealth Channel Global Limited
The Investor is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands whose principal business is investment holding. The Investor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Diamond Path International Investments Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability. Diamond Path International Investments Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huarong Investment Stock Corporation Limited (“Huarong Investment”, previously known as Chun Sing Engineering Holdings Limited), a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability, the issued shares of which are listed on the Stock Exchange (stock code: 2277).
Huarong Investment and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the foundation and substructure construction business in Hong Kong. As set out in the annual report of Huarong Investment for the year ended 31 March 2016 and the voluntary announcement dated 26 August 2016 issued by Huarong Investment, it is the strategy of Huarong Investment to diversify its business operations. With the support of China Huarong International Holdings Limited (“China Huarong”) by the provision of the loans in a total principal amount of US$300 million (equivalent to approximately HK$2,340 million), Huarong Investment intends to expand its business operations to money lending, finance lease and other future investment opportunities which may arise from time to time. As at the Latest Practical Date, Huarong Investment is owned as to 27.99% by China Huarong indirectly.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Relying on the strong financial position and business connections of China Huarong and Huarong Investment in the PRC and in Hong Kong, the Directors believe that the Subscription will help the Group to explore more business opportunities in the PRC and in Hong Kong. With the Investor as a strategic investor of the Company, the Directors believe that this will also enhance the Group’s borrowing power and fund raising ability in Hong Kong, at comparatively more favorable terms, to finance any of its future investment opportunities, if required.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Investor has no intention to appoint any person as a Director of the Company.
The Investor is 100% owned by Diamond Path International Investments Limited. Diamond Path International Investments Limited is 100% owned by Huarong Investment, which is 27.99% owned by China Huarong indirectly. China Huarong is the sole shareholder of Lijiang, which entered into a subscription agreement with the Company on 17 August 2016 and holds 10.47% of the entire issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.
After reviewing the announcement dated 30 August 2016 of the Company regarding its interim financial results for the 6 months ended 30 June 2016 and as referred by China Huarong, Huarong Investment approached the Company and negotiated the potential investment opportunity with the Company in October 2016.
Save for the above, the subscription by Lijiang pursuant to the subscription agreement dated 17 August 2016 entered into between the Company and Lijiang and the Subscription are not connected to each other in any way and there is no obligation or agreement between the Company and Huarong Investment in relation to the Subscription.
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, and having made all reasonable enquiries, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Subscription does not constitute a connected transaction since the Investor is not a connected person of the Company pursuant to the Listing Rules. Before entering into of the Subscription Agreement, neither the Investor nor its close associates has any interests in any Shares.
To the best knowledge of the Directors, the Company is not aware of any agreement, arrangement, understanding or undertaking (whether formal or informal and whether express or implied) that has been entered into between China Huarong and Huarong Investment with respect to the Subscription.
Immediately upon completion of the Subscription, assuming there is no other change in the share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date up to the Completion Date, the Investor will be interested in approximately 4.46% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares.
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Subscription Shares
23,437,980 new Subscription Shares representing approximately 4.67% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and approximately 4.46% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares.
The aggregate nominal value of the Subscription Shares is HK$234,379.80.
Subscription Price
Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Investor shall pay to the Company the total subscription money pursuant to the Subscription Agreement on the Completion Date.
The Subscription Price of HK$1.49 per Subscription Share represents:
-
(i) a discount of approximately 47.16% to the closing price of HK$2.820 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the Subscription Agreement;
-
(ii) a discount of approximately 46.94% to the average closing price of approximately HK$2.808 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date of the Subscription Agreement; and
-
(iii) a discount of approximately 46.21% to the closing price of HK$2.770 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date.
The net Subscription Price, after deduction of relevant expenses (including but not limited to legal expenses and disbursements) incidental to the Subscription of approximately HK$0.3 million, is estimated to be approximately HK$1.48 per Subscription Share.
The Subscription Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Investor with reference to, among other matters, the subscription price of HK$1.49 pursuant to the subscription agreement dated 17 August 2016 entered into between the Company and Lijiang, the prevailing market prices of the Shares and the prominent background and market position of China Huarong and Huarong Investment. To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, the Directors have also taken into consideration of (i) the Group’s diversification strategy; and (ii) the strength of the Investor as a strategic investor of the Company as detailed in the section headed “Reasons for and the benefits of the Subscription and use of proceeds” in this circular. The Company had also made reference to the price-to-earnings (“P/E”) ratio and the price to book (“P/B”) ratio of other comparable companies listed on the Stock Exchange which are also principally engaged in industrial manufacturing business. Based on the Company’s latest published annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015 and latest published unaudited interim financial information for the 6 months ended 30 June 2016, and the closing share price of HK$2.820 on the date of the Subscription Agreement,
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
the P/E ratio and P/B ratio of the Company are approximately 26.23 times and approximately 3.42 times respectively. The P/E ratio and P/B ratio of the Company calculated using the Subscription Price of HK$1.49 per Share will become approximately 13.86 times and approximately 1.81 times respectively. The implied P/E ratio and P/B ratio of the Company as calculated based on the Subscription Price are comparable to the P/E ratios and P/B ratios of the three comparable companies (PAX Global Technology Limited (stock code: 327), Jolimark Holdings Limited (stock code: 2028) and Computime Group Limited (stock code: 320)) (i) with their issued shares listed on the Stock Exchange, (ii) with similar business in industrial manufacturing business, (iii) with similar market capitalisation, and (iv) with similar size of operation (annual revenue being less than HK$4 billion), which range from approximately 7.98 times to 12.11 times and approximately 0.76 times to 1.83 times respectively.
The Subscription Price represents a premium of approximately 80.83% over the unaudited net assets value per Share of HK$0.824 as at 30 June 2016. The Subscription Price of HK$1.49 also represents a P/E ratio of approximately 13.86 times based on the audited earnings per share of HK$0.1075 for the year ended 31 December 2015, which is reasonable and fair in comparison with the three comparable companies listed on the Stock Exchange.
The Company has also considered that the Investor has conditionally agreed to subscribe for 23,437,980 new Shares, which is much larger than the normal average daily trading volume of the Shares in the Stock Exchange. The Company agreed to grant a special bulk purchase discount to the Investor to subscribe for such a large number of new shares in one time.
Based on the above consideration, the Company considered that the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable. The Directors consider that the Subscription Price and the terms of the Subscription Agreement are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Conditions of the Subscription
Completion of the Subscription shall be subject to and conditional upon the fulfilment (or waiver) of the following Conditions:

(i) as to approximately HK$20.0 million for repayment of outstanding bank borrowings; and
-
(ii) the remaining balance of approximately HK$14.6 million as general working capital for the Group’s principal business and for future investment opportunities should the same arise.
The Directors have taken into consideration the following factors:
(i) The Group’s diversification strategy
It is the intention of the Board to diversify the Group’s business by the generation of stable return and cash flows to the Group. The Company believes that having the Investor as a strategic investor, it would bring more valuable resources to the Group, including low cost financing advantage and other investment opportunities and therefore could contribute to and accomplish the Group’s long-term development strategy.
(ii) Strength of Huarong Investment as a strategic investor
As mentioned above, the Investor is an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of Huarong Investment, which intends to expand its business operations to money lending, finance lease and other future investment opportunities which may arise from time to time. Relying on the background and business connections of China Huarong and Huarong Investment in the PRC and in Hong Kong, the Directors believe that the Subscription will help the Group to explore more business opportunities in the PRC and in Hong Kong. With Huarong Investment as a strategic investor of the Company, the Directors believe that this will also enhance the Group’s borrowing power and fund raising ability in Hong Kong, at comparatively more favorable terms, to finance any of its future investment opportunities, if required.
(iii) Financing alternatives
The Company has considered other forms of fund raising exercise such as rights issue and debt financing.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
As debt financing normally requires a pledge of the Company’s assets as collateral to the creditors, the Directors consider that it is not a preferred method of fund raising.
Further, the Directors considered that rights issue generally requires higher cost to administer and arrange for the nil-paid rights trading, printing services and for reviewing the provisional allotment letters and other necessary documents, including the time for the Company to liaise with the parties involved in the rights issue such as the share registrar, the underwriter, and its professional advisers. The estimated cost of rights issue would be in the range of 1.5% to 2% of the gross proceeds. For example, if the gross proceeds is approximately HK$34.9 million, the net proceeds will be in the range of approximately HK$34.2 million to approximately HK$34.4 million. Therefore, the Directors consider that rights issue is less preferred when compared to direct subscription by an investor.
The Directors consider that the Subscription represents an opportunity for the Company to raise additional funding for the Group’s business operation and it will also strengthen the capital base and financial position for the Group’s future business developments and broaden the Shareholder base of the Company. The Subscription will also provide an opportunity for the Group to leverage on the business connection and expertise of Huarong Investment to enhance the further development of the Group’s business in the PRC and in Hong Kong. In addition, the Directors consider that the Subscription is a preferred method of fund raising as compared with other equity fund raising exercises and debt financing exercises based on the time and costs involved.
The Directors consider that the Subscription Agreement are entered into upon normal commercial terms following arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Investor and that the terms of the Subscription Agreement are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Saved for the proposed acquisition of the Beijing Property as stated in the announcement of the Company dated 19 September 2016, the Company has not entered into any discussion, negotiation, agreement, arrangement, understanding or undertaking (whether formal or informal, express or implied) with China Huarong, Huarong Investment or other parties on any acquisition of new business or assets, or disposals of the Company’s existing business or assets.
