Capitalized terms used in this cover have the same meanings as those defined in this Prospectus.

It should be noted that the Shares have been dealt in on an ex-rights basis from Friday, 22 April 2016. Dealings in the Rights Shares in their nil-paid form will take place from Monday, 9 May 2016 to Monday, 16 May 2016 (both dates inclusive). If the conditions of the Rights Issue are not fulfilled or waived (as applicable) at or before 4:00 p.m. on Friday, 20 May 2016 (or such later time as the Company and the Underwriters may agree), the Rights Issue will not proceed. Any persons contemplating dealings in the Shares prior to the date on which the conditions of the Rights Issue are fulfilled or waived (as applicable), and/or dealings in the nil-paid Rights Shares, are accordingly subject to the risk that the Rights Issue may not become unconditional or may not proceed. Any Shareholders or other persons contemplating dealing in the Shares and/or the Rights Shares in their nil-paid form are recommended to consult their own professional advisers.

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the Rights Issue is conditional upon the Rights Issue having become unconditional and the Underwriter not having terminated or rescinded (as the case may be) the Underwriting Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. Accordingly, the Rights Issue may or may not proceed.

The latest date and time for acceptance of and payment for the Rights Shares is 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, 19 May 2016. The procedures for acceptance and payment and/or transfer of the Rights Shares are set out on pages 10 to 11 of this Prospectus.

cHArAcTerISTIcS oF GeM

GeM is positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GeM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GeM, there is a risk that securities traded on GeM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GeM.

As disclosed in the announcement and the circular of the Company dated 24 February 2016 and 22 March 2016, respectively, the Board announced that, among other things, subject to the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, the Company proposed to implement the Rights Issue on the basis of ten Rights Shares for every one Share held on the Record Date at the Subscription Price of HK$0.01 per Rights Share, to raise approximately HK$262.4 million before expense by way of issuing 26,239,509,650 Rights Shares (assuming no further Shares will be issued or repurchased on or before the Record Date).

LeTTer FroM THe BoArD

At the SGM, resolutions approving the Capital Reorganisation and the Rights Issue were duly passed by the Shareholders and independent Shareholders by way of poll, respectively. The Capital Reorganisation became effective on 21 April 2016, details of which were disclosed in the circular of the Company dated 22 March 2016.

As the Rights Issue will increase the issued share capital and the market capitalisation of the Company by more than 50%, according to Chapter 10 of the GEM Listing Rules, the Rights Issue is subject to the approval by the Shareholders at the special general meeting of the Company by resolution on which any controlling Shareholders and their associates, or where there are no controlling Shareholders, the Directors (excluding independent nonexecutive Directors) and the chief executive of the Company and their respective associates shall abstain from voting in favour of the Rights Issue.

At the date of the SGM, the Company had no controlling Shareholder and Ms. Yu, an executive Director, holds 120,000,000 Shares through Ritz Management. Therefore, Ritz Management abstained from voting of the resolution relating to the Rights Issue at the SGM. Save for Ms. Yu, no other Director or any of his/her respective associates held any Shares as at the date of the SGM.

The purpose of this Prospectus is to provide the Shareholders with, among other things, further details of the Rights Issue, including the procedures for acceptance of the Rights Shares provisionally allotted to the Shareholders, together with the financial and other information of the Group.

Number of Rights Shares agreed : China Wah Yan and Ritz Management have to be taken up both undertaken to the Company and the Underwriter that they will respectively apply for 7,100,000,000 Rights Shares and 1,200,000,000 Rights Shares to be provisionally allotted to them under the Rights Issue. Details of the undertaking are set out in the paragraph headed “Shareholders Undertakings” in this Prospectus. Number of Rights Shares to be : 17,939,509,650 Rights Shares, being the total underwritten by the Underwriter number of Rights Shares to be allotted and issued less the aggregate number of the Rights Shares agreed to be taken up by China Wah Yan and Ritz Management. Accordingly, the Rights Issue is fully underwritten. Nominal value of the Rights : HK$26,239,509.65 Shares Gross proceeds to be raised from : approximately HK$262.4 million the Rights Shares Estimated net proceeds to be : approximately HK$256 million raised from the Rights Issue after deduction of expenses Underwriter : Convoy Securities Limited

Based on the 2,623,950,965 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, and assuming there will be no change in the number of issued Shares from the Latest Practicable Date up to the Record Date, the 26,239,509,650 Rights Shares to be issued pursuant to the Rights Issue will represent (i) 10 times the number of issued Shares; and (ii) 90.9% of the number of issued Share as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Rights Shares.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no other outstanding options, warrants, derivatives or convertible securities which may confer any right to the holder thereof to subscribe for, convert or exchange into Shares.

Basis of provisional allotment

The basis of the Rights Issue will be ten (10) Rights Shares (in nil-paid form) for every one (1) Share in issue held by the Qualifying Shareholders on the Record Date.

LeTTer FroM THe BoArD

Application for all or any part of a Qualifying Shareholder’s provisional allotment should be made by completing the PAL and lodging the same with a remittance for the Rights Shares being accepted for, to the Share Registrar at Shops 1712-16, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong on or before the Latest Time for Acceptance.

Matching services

No odd lot matching services will be provided for the Rights Shares.

Subscription Price

The Subscription Price is HK$0.01 per Rights Share and is payable in full by a Qualifying Shareholder upon acceptance of the provisional allotment of Rights Shares or when a transferee of nil-paid Rights Shares applies for the Rights Shares.

The Subscription Price represents a discount of 50% to the closing price of HK$0.02 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date.

The Subscription Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and the Underwriter after taking into, among others, the pro-longed period of suspension in the trading of the Shares, the prevailing market sentiment, the poor financial performance of the Group in the past years and the additional fund required by the Group for its continuous business development. Although the theoretical ex-rights price of the Shares to be issued under the Rights Issue will approach extremities, the Directors consider that the substantial discount of the Subscription Price to the closing price of the Shares on the Last Trading Day will nevertheless encourage the Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue which would enable them to maintain their shareholdings in the Company and to enjoy the potential growth of the Group.

Given the above, the Directors consider that the terms of the Rights Issue (including the Subscription Price) are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Pursuant to Rule 17.76 of the GEM Listing Rules, where the market price of the securities of an issuer approaches the extremities of HK$0.01, the issuer is required either to change the trading method or to proceed with a consolidation of its securities. In this connection, the Company proposes to, depending on the then trading price of the Shares, immediately following completion of the Rights Issue, implement a share consolidation and change of its board lot size so as to comply with the relevant trading requirements under the GEM Listing Rules. The Company will make further announcement(s) as and when appropriate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules on any development in respect of the proposed

LeTTer FroM THe BoArD

share consolidation and the change in board lot size (hence, the then proposed share consolidation and change in board lot size as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 29 February 2016 is no longer applicable).

Qualifying Shareholders

The Rights Issue is only available to the Qualifying Shareholders. Subject to the registration of the Prospectus Documents in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations, the Company will send the Prospectus Documents to the Qualifying Shareholders.

To qualify for the Rights Issue, a Shareholder must be registered as a member of the Company on the Record Date, and not be a Non-Qualifying Shareholder.

rights of overseas Shareholders and Non-Qualifying Shareholders

The Prospectus Documents to be issued in connection with the Rights Issue will not be registered under the applicable securities legislation of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong. According to the register of members of the Company as at the Record Date, there were 3 Overseas Shareholders whose addresses are located outside Hong Kong (being only in the PRC). The Directors have conducted enquiries in compliance with Rule 17.41 of the GEM Listing Rules regarding the feasibility of extending the offer of the Rights Shares to such Overseas Shareholders. The Overseas Shareholders with registered addresses in the PRC will be entitled to receive the Prospectus Documents. Accordingly, there are no Overseas Shareholders being prohibited from the Rights Issue.

It is the responsibility of any person (including but without limitation to nominee, agent and trustee) receiving a copy of this Prospectus or any of the PAL outside Hong Kong and wishing to take up the Rights Shares to satisfy himself/herself/itself as to the full observance of the laws of and regulations of the relevant territory or jurisdiction including the obtaining of any governmental or other consents for observing any other formalities which may be required in such territory or jurisdiction, and to pay any taxes, duties and other amounts required to be paid in such territory or jurisdiction in connection therewith. Any acceptance or application by any person will be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty from such person to the Company that these local laws and requirements have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, neither HKSCC nor HKSCC Nominees Limited has given, or be subject to, any of the above representation or warranty. If you are in doubt as to your position, you should consult your professional advisers.

The Company shall provisionally allot the Rights Shares which represent the entitlements of the Non-Qualifying Shareholders to a nominee of the Company in nil-paid form and the Company shall procure that such nominee shall endeavor to sell the rights as soon as practicable after dealing in nil-paid Rights Shares commence and in any event on or before

the last day of dealing in nil-paid Rights Shares at a net premium (nil-paid). If and to the extent that such rights can be so sold, the said nominee of the Company shall account to the Company for the net proceeds of sale (after deducting the expenses for sale, if any), on the basis that the net proceeds after deducting the expenses of sale (if any) attributable to the sale of the Rights Shares that would otherwise have been allotted to the NonQualifying Shareholders shall be distributed pro rata to their shareholding as at the Record Date (but rounded down to the nearest cent) to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders provided that individual amounts of HK$100 or less shall be retained by the Company for its own benefit. Any of such nil-paid rights which are not sold as aforesaid will be dealt with as Rights Shares not accepted in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.

Procedures for acceptance and payment and/or transfer

Qualifying Shareholders will find enclosed with this Prospectus a PAL which entitles the Qualifying Shareholder(s) to whom it is addressed to subscribe for the number of Rights Shares shown therein. If the Qualifying Shareholders wish to accept all the Rights Shares provisionally allotted to them as specified in the PALs, they must lodge the PALs in accordance with the instructions printed thereon, together with a remittance for the full amount payable on acceptance, with the Share Registrar at Shops 1712-16, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, by no later than 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, 19 May 2016.

It should be noted that unless the duly completed PAL, together with the appropriate remittance, have been lodged with the Share Registrar by no later than 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, 19 May 2016, whether by the original allottee or any person in whose favour the provisional allotment has been validly transferred, that provisional allotment and all rights and entitlement thereunder will be deemed to have been declined and will be cancelled. The Company may, at its sole discretion, treat a PAL as valid and binding on the person(s) by whom or on whose behalf it is lodged even if the PAL is not completed in accordance with the relevant instructions.

If the Qualifying Shareholders wish to accept only part of the provisional allotment or transfer part of their rights to subscribe for the Rights Shares provisionally allotted to them under the PAL or transfer part/all of their rights to more than one person, the original PAL must be surrendered for cancellation by no later than 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, 11 May 2016 to the Share Registrar, who will cancel the original PAL and issue new PALs in the denominations required.

Share Registrar at Shops 1712-16, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, after 9:00 a.m. on the second Business Day after the surrender of the original PAL.

The PAL contains further information regarding the procedures to be followed for acceptance and/or transfer of the whole or part of the provisional allotment of the Rights Shares by the Qualifying Shareholders. All cheques or cashier’s orders will be presented for payment immediately following receipt and all interest earned on such monies (if any) will be retained for the benefit of the Company. Completion and return of the PAL with a cheque or a cashier’s order will constitute a warranty by such person that the cheque or the cashier’s order will be honoured on first presentation. Without prejudice to the other rights of the Company in respect thereof, the Company reserves the right to reject any PAL in respect of which the cheque or cashier’s order is dishonoured on first presentation, and in that event the provisional allotment and all rights thereunder will be deemed to have been declined and will be cancelled.

No action has been taken to permit the offering of the Rights Shares or the distribution of the Prospectus Documents in any territory other than Hong Kong. Accordingly, no person receiving the Prospectus Documents in any territory or jurisdiction outside Hong Kong may treat it as an offer or invitation to apply or subscribe for the Rights Shares, unless in a territory or jurisdiction where such an offer or invitation could lawfully be made without compliance with any registration or other legal and regulatory requirements thereof. Completion and return of the PAL by anyone outside Hong Kong will constitute a warranty and representation by such person to the Company that all registration, legal and regulatory requirements of such relevant jurisdictions other than Hong Kong in connection with the PAL and any acceptance of it, have been, or will be, duly complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, neither HKSCC nor HKSCC Nominees Limited will give, or be subject to, any of the above warranty and representation. The Company reserves the right to refuse to accept any application or subscription for Rights Shares where it believes that doing so would violate the applicable securities or other laws or regulations of any jurisdiction. No application for Rights Shares will be accepted from any person who is a Non-Qualifying Shareholder.

If the Underwriter exercises the right to terminate or rescind the Underwriting Agreement or if any of the conditions of the Rights Issue under the Underwriting Agreement is not fulfilled or waived (as applicable) at or before 4:00 p.m. on Friday, 20 May 2016 (or such later time as the Company and the Underwriter may agree in writing), the remittance received in respect of acceptances of the Rights Shares will be returned to the Qualifying Shareholders or such other persons to whom the Rights Shares in the nil-paid form have been validly transferred or, in the case of joint acceptances, to the first-named person

Subject to the Rights Issue becoming unconditional and not having been terminated or rescinded by the Underwriter, share certificates for all fully-paid Rights Shares are expected to be sent on or before Friday, 27 May 2016 by ordinary post to the allottees, at their own risk, to their registered addresses. If the Underwriting Agreement is terminated or not becoming unconditional, refund cheque will be sent on or before Friday, 27 May 2016 by ordinary post to the applicants, at their own risk, to their registered addresses.

No application for excess rights Shares

Having considering that (i) the Rights Issue will give the Qualifying Shareholders an equal and fair opportunity to maintain their respective pro rata shareholding interests in the Company; (ii) the additional effort and costs required to administer the excess application procedures; and (iii) the estimated net proceeds from the Rights Issue have been earmarked for specific uses and therefore it is important to minimise costs arising from the fund raising, the Company decides that Qualifying Shareholders will not be entitled to subscribe for any additional Rights Shares in excess of their provisional allotment under the Rights Issue. Any Rights Shares not being applied for by the Qualifying Shareholders will be taken up by the Underwriter pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter has conditionally agreed to subscribe or procure the subscription for the Rights Shares which have not been taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders.

If a Shareholder does not take up any entitlement under the Rights Issue, his/her/its percentage interest in the Company will be diluted by 90.9%. However, as all Qualifying Shareholders are being offered equal opportunity to participate in the Rights Issue to maintain their interests in the Company and they are also entitled to split their entitlement to the Rights Issue (i.e. taking up part and selling the remaining part to cash in), the Directors, despite the potential dilution impact, consider that the terms of the Rights Issue are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

reasons for and the use of proceeds from the rights Issue

The Group is principally engaged in (i) forestry and agricultural business; and (ii) resources and logistics business.

As disclosed in the Company’s annual report (the “2015 Annual Report”) for the year ended 31 December 2015, the Group recorded (i) loss before and after taxation of approximately HK$41.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2014; and (ii) loss before and after taxation of approximately HK$33.4 million and approximately HK$35.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2015, respectively. As at 31 December 2015, the Group had consolidated net current liabilities of approximately HK$142.9 million and cash balance of only HK$4.2 million. During the second half of 2015, the Group entered into agreements with investors and business partner who have the relevant connections and experience in the timber and plantation businesses in the Asia region for purpose of revitalizing its business in Cambodia (details of which are disclosed in the announcements of the Company dated 17 July 2015, 30 September 2015 and 24 February 2016). The Company is in the process of preparing for the restructuring and expects to complete the restructuring in or about second quarter of 2016. The Group will require additional working capital to accelerate the development pace of its principal businesses. Given the prolonged trading suspension in the Shares and the poor financial performance of the Group as mentioned above, it is difficult, if not implausible, for the Group to raise fund through debt financing and placing of new Shares (in particular, trading in the Shares resumed only in late February 2016). As such, the Rights Issue is a feasible fund raising means to improve the financial position of Group and offers all the Qualifying Shareholders an equal opportunity to participate and maintain their shareholding interest in the Company.

The gross proceeds of the Rights Issue will amount to approximately HK$262 million and the estimated net proceeds (after the deduction of, among other things, underwriting commission and other related expenses in the amount of approximately HK$6 million) will amount to approximately HK$256 million. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds as to (i) approximately HK$170 million for repayment of the outstanding

— 19 —

LeTTer FroM THe BoArD

liabilities; (ii) approximately HK$25 million for general working capital purpose and approximately HK$25 million as working capital for development of the Group’s principal businesses (including capital expenditures and working capital of at least HK$16 million for the Group’s plantation business in 2016 and 2017); and (iii) the remaining balance for potential investment opportunities when available. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has not identified any potential investment opportunity. Taking into account of (i) the outstanding liabilities of the Group as at 31 December 2015; (ii) the estimated capital expenditure and working capital requirement of the Group’s plantation business in 2016 and 2017; and (iii) the estimated general working capital of the Group in 2016 and 2017, the Board is of the view that the net proceeds from the Rights Issue of approximately HK$256 million is able to satisfy the Company’s expected funding needs for the next 12 months. Given that the Rights Issue will (i) improve the capital structure of the Company; (ii) provide the necessary funding for the Group’s general working capital purpose and development of its businesses; and (iii) provide the Qualifying Shareholders with the opportunity to maintain their respective pro-rata shareholding interest in the Company and enjoy the potential growth prospects of the Group, the Directors consider that the Rights Issue is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Company has not conducted any fund raising activities in the past 12 months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

TAXATIoN

Qualifying Shareholders are recommended to consult their professional advisers if they are in any doubt as to the tax implication of the holding or disposal of, or dealing in, the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms, and as regards the Non-Qualifying Shareholders, their receipt of the net proceeds of the sale of the Rights Shares in their nilpaid form otherwise falling to be issued to them under the Rights Issue. It is emphasized that none of the Company, its Directors or any other parties involved in the Rights Issue accepts the responsibility for any tax effects or liabilities of any person resulting from the purchase, holding or disposal of, or dealing in, the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms.

As mentioned in the 2015 Annual Report, the Group entered into agreements to revitalise its forestry business in Cambodia, including (i) the subscription agreement in July 2015 (as subsequently supplemented, and collectively referred to as the “Subscription Agreement”) with a group of investors (the “Subscribers”) who have substantial experience in the timber industry with sales network; and (ii) the plantation cooperation agreement in November 2015 (the “Plantation Cooperation Agreement”) with an experienced plantation operator (the “Plantation Partner”). Details of the above agreements are set out in the paragraphs headed “4. Material Contracts” in Appendix III “General Information” to this Prospectus. After completion of the restructuring under the Subscription Agreement and the Plantation Cooperation Agreement, the relevant Subscribers will provide working capital loans of HK$51.75 million for development of the Group’s timber logging business and the Plantation Partner and the relevant Subscribers will provide funding for development the Group’s plantation business in proportion to their shareholding interests in the Group’s plantation business.

Going forward, the Group will, as mentioned above, seek appropriate investment/business opportunities to enhance its business portfolio.

FINANcIAL INForMATIoN oF THe GrouP

APPeNDIX I

In addition, the Group’s business operation in Cambodia is subject to certain risk factors, including:

cambodia being a developing country

Cambodia is a developing country and is subject to political, economic and social development and the operation and profitability of the Group are subject to the risk of the political stability of the country. Furthermore, Cambodia has under-developed wood processing and transportation infrastructure and the Group may potentially incur additional and unexpected costs for transportation of the timber logged from the three forests (“Three Forests”).

Fluctuation of log prices

Prices for logs can be volatile and are affected by a number of factors including demand for wood and wood products, supply from unauthorised logging, economic growth rate, interest rate, trade policies and prevailing fuel and transportation costs. Since the Group’s revenue of its timber business is mainly derived from sale of wood products, any decline in the market prices for logs would have an adverse impact on its results of operation.

competition from wood substitutes

The timber business of the Group faces competition from manufacturers of wood substitutes such as imitation wood and other materials which are used as alternative materials mainly in construction and in furniture production. The demand for wood products is also affected by changes in consumer trends and tastes. Any change in consumers’ preference for wood substitutes will decrease demand for the Group’s timber products and have an adverse impact on the Group’s operating results.

Adverse impact from natural hazards

The occurrence of any prolonged and abnormally high level of rain at the location of the Three Forests may have an adverse impact on the Group’s timber logging activities.

unauthorised timber logging

Although the Group maintains security at the infrastructure access to the Three Forests for which the Group has been granted the exploitation concession right, the Three Forests cover a vast area and the timber standing on the Three Forests may be subject to theft which would result in a loss of the Group’s timber resources.

FINANcIAL INForMATIoN oF THe GrouP

APPeNDIX I

The Prc being the Group’s main source of revenue

The Group sells most of its timber products to the PRC and such export is subject to the economic development in the PRC. Any slowing down in the economic development of the PRC may potentially have an impact on the profitability of the Group.

The Group’s timber business is labour intensive

The Group’s timber business involves logging and processing of the existing trees from the Three Forests and the Group will reply on a large number of workers to log timber. As the Three Forests are located in rural area, there is a risk that the manpower for harvesting logs may not be available on a timely basis. The Group is also vulnerable to labour shortage due to strike, labour stoppage and civil unrest. Any shortage of labour will adversely affect the operating results of the Group.

risks in relation to the macro-environment

The Group’s assets, business and operations are primarily based in the PRC and Cambodia and the Group has mainly derived its revenue in the PRC. Accordingly, the Group’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are affected by government policies, as well as economic, social, political and legal developments in the PRC and Cambodia. The domestic economy of the PRC and Cambodia is also affected by many other unpredictable factors such as economic, social, legal and political development, fluctuations in global interest rates, and changes in local and international economic and political situations. There is no assurance that any changes of the existing government policies, economic, social, political conditions and the business environment in Cambodia and the PRC in the future will have a positive effect on the Group’s business operations.
