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 17 August 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 52,562,020 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: 17 August 2016 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange) Parties: Issuer: the Company; and Investor: Lijiang Investment Holdings Limited

The Investor is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. The principal activity of the Investor is investment holding. The Investor is a wholly owned subsidiary of China Huarong International Holdings Limited.

China Huarong International Holdings Limited (“Huarong International”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of China Huarong Asset Management Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 2799) (“China Huarong”). The principal activity of Huarong International is investment holding and it is mainly responsible for overseas investment business of China Huarong, including business and asset acquisition and asset management. Huarong International also invests in IPOs, rights issues and placements by listed companies in Hong Kong.

The Investor will become a substantial shareholder and a strategic investor of the Company after Completion. Based on the interim results announcement of China Huarong for the six months ended 30 June 2016, as of 30 June 2016, the total assets of Huarong International was RMB88,569.3 million and the profit before tax for the first half of 2016 was RMB2,694.4 million. Relying on the strong financial position of Huarong International and China Huarong, and their prominent background and business connections in the PRC and Hong Kong, the Directors believe that this will help the Group to explore more business opportunities in the PRC and in Hong Kong. With Huarong International 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 the PRC and in Hong Kong, at comparatively more favorable terms, to finance any of its future investment opportunities, if required.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Investor has no intention to appoint any person as a Director of the Company.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, and having made all reasonable enquiries, as at the Latest Practicable Date, each of the Investor and its ultimate beneficial owners was an Independent Third Party. Before entering into of the Subscription Agreement, neither the Investor nor its close associates has any interests in any Shares.

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 become a substantial shareholder of the Company and will be interested in approximately 10.47% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares.

The Subscription Shares

52,562,020 new Subscription Shares representing approximately 11.69% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and approximately 10.47% 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$525,620.20.

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 50.17% to the closing price of HK$2.990 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the Subscription Agreement;

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 50.07% to the average closing price of approximately HK$2.984 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 48.44% to the closing price of HK$2.890 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

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$0.4 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 prevailing market prices of the Shares and the prominent background and market position of the holding company of the Investor. 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 Huarong International 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 the closing share price of HK$2.99 on the date of the Subscription Agreement, the P/E ratio and P/B ratio of the Company are approximately 27.81 times and approximately 3.629 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 9.40 times to 11.13 times and approximately 0.774 times to 2.044 times respectively.

The Subscription Price represents a premium of approximately 85.32% over the audited net assets value per Share of HK$0.804 as at 31 December 2015; and 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 52,562,020 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.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (iv) the remaining balance of approximately HK$27.9 million as general working capital for the Group’s principal business and for future investment opportunities should the same arise.

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 19 September 2016, the Purchaser entered into the Acquisition Agreement with the Vendor and the Guarantor in relation to the Acquisition. The Company will not apply the net proceeds from the Subscription to finance the business of the Target Group, if the Acquisition proceeds to complete.

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 property related or other investment opportunities and therefore could contribute to and accomplish the Group’s long-term development strategy.

(ii) Strength of Huarong International as a strategic investor

As mentioned above, the Investor is a wholly owned subsidiary of Huarong International, which has actively invested in a number of listed companies in Hong Kong in recent years, through IPOs, rights issues and placements. The Investor will become a substantial shareholder and a strategic investor of the Company after Completion. Based on the interim results announcement of China Huarong for the six months ended 30 June 2016, as of 30 June 2016, the total assets of Huarong International was RMB88,569.3 million and the profit before tax for the first half of 2016 was RMB2,694.4 million. Relying on the strong financial position of Huarong International and China Huarong, and their prominent background and business connections in the PRC and Hong Kong, the Directors believe that this will help the Group to explore more business opportunities in the PRC and in Hong Kong. With Huarong International 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 the PRC and in Hong Kong, at comparatively more favorable terms, to finance any of its future investment opportunities, if required.

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 the Investor given the prominent background and market position of the holding company of the Investor in the PRC. It is believed that this will help enhance the further development of the Group’s business in the PRC market, in terms of both the scope and scale of the business. 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.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

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.

UPDATES ON THE ACQUISITION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 19 September 2016 in relation to the Acquisition. The Company wishes to update the Shareholders and the potential investors of the Company that as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company was preparing the circular in relation to the Acquisition, which will contain, among other things, further details of the Acquisition, the financial information of the Target Company and the Target Group, a valuation report on the Beijing Property issued by the independent property valuer, LCH (Asia-Pacific) Surveyors Limited, other information as required under the Listing Rules and a notice convening the EGM to be held to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Acquisition Agreement together with the transactions contemplated thereunder. The circular will be despatched to the Shareholders in due course.

UPDATES ON THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS PLAN AND STRATEGY

The Group has no intention to change its primary focus of the existing businesses of industrial manufacturing and provision of energy saving solutions. However, the Directors will explore other investment opportunities, including but not limited to, property investment opportunity, if it is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and will provide a stable revenue stream and cash flows to the Group. The Group acquired a commercial property located at Citicorp Centre, 18 Whitfield Road, Hong Kong, which was completed in January 2016. The said property is used as the permanent head office of the Group in Hong Kong. It is the intention of the Group to diversify the Group’s investment into property investments in the PRC to enhance the property investment portfolio of the Group. Having closely monitored the market environment and business prospects of the property investment business, and having assessed the relevant business risks and potential returns with a view to maximizing returns to Shareholders, the Board considers that it would be in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole for the Group to expand into the property investment business by way of acquiring the Beijing Property. The Board considers that the Acquisition will strengthen the property investment into the principal activities of the Group. The Board is also confident that the Acquisition would strengthen the Group’s financial position and diversify its income stream in the long run. Upon completion of the Acquisition, the property investment will be a new segment of the business of the Group. The Company has no intention to develop other new businesses at present. The Company also has no intention to dispose of or to terminate or to scale down the operations of the existing principal businesses of the Group.
