CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized 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.
Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, 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.

Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED CAPITAL REORGANISATION AND

INTRODUCTION

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
THE PROPOSED CAPITAL REORGANISATION
THE CAPITAL REORGANISATION
The Company intends to put forward to the Shareholders for their approval of the proposed Capital Reorganisation involving:
(i) Capital Reduction
The proposed Capital Reduction will involve (i) reducing the issued share capital of the Company by cancelling the paid-up capital of the Company to the extent of HK$0.39 on each Existing Share such that the par value of each Existing Share will be reduced from HK$0.40 to HK$0.01; and (ii) reducing the authorised share capital of the Company such that the par value of all Existing Shares will be reduced from HK$0.40 each to HK$0.01 each which will result in the authorised share capital of the Company being reduced from HK$200,000,000 divided into 500,000,000 Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.40 each to HK$5,000,000 divided into 500,000,000 New Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each. The credit arising from such Capital Reduction will be transferred to the Contributed Surplus.
Based on the 124,682,651 Existing Shares in issue as at the date of this circular, it is estimated that a credit balance of approximately HK$48.6 million will arise from the Capital Reduction.
(ii) Capital Increase
Immediately upon the Capital Reduction becoming effective, the authorised share capital of the Company will be increased from HK$5,000,000 divided into 500,000,000 New Shares to HK$200,000,000 divided into 20,000,000,000 New Shares.
(iii) Reduction of Share Premium
The entire amount standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company will be reduced to nil and the credit arising from such Reduction of Share Premium will be transferred to the Contributed Surplus. As at 31 March 2019, the Company had a credit balance of approximately HK$265.2 million standing in its share premium account.
(iv) Application of Contributed Surplus to set off against accumulated losses of the Company
Following the Capital Reduction, the Capital Increase and the Reduction of Share Premium, the Directors will be authorised to utilise and apply any credit balance in the Contributed Surplus in accordance with the bye-laws of the Company and all applicable laws, including the application of any credit balance to set off against accumulated losses of the Company, as and when the Directors may consider appropriate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Conditions of the Capital Reorganisation
The proposed Capital Reorganisation is subject to, among other things, the following conditions:
-
(i) the passing of the special resolution to approve the Capital Reorganisation at the SGM;
-
(ii) compliance with the relevant procedures and requirements under the Companies Act of Bermuda and the GEM Listing Rules to effect the Capital Reorganisation; and
-
(iii) the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation.
Subject to the fulfillment of the above conditions, the Capital Reorganisation is expected to become effective on the next business day following the date of passing the relevant resolution at the SGM.
Effects of the Capital Reorganisation
Save for the relevant expenses to be incurred, the implementation of the Capital Reorganisation will not, by itself, alter the underlying assets, business, operation, management or financial position of the Company and the Capital Reorganisation is not expected to have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had (i) 8,832,149 outstanding share options (the ‘‘Share Options’’) granted under its share option scheme adopted in 2011 which entitle the holders thereof to subscribe for 8,832,149 Existing Shares at the subscription price of HK$0.792 per Existing Share; and (ii) convertible bond in the principal amount of HK$18 million which is convertible into 20,757,500 Existing Shares. The Capital Reorganisation will not have any impact on the number of Shares underlying the Share Options and the above-mentioned convertible bond nor the relevant exercise price or conversion price. Therefore, upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, the Company will have (i) 8,832,149 outstanding Share Options which entitle the holders thereof to subscribe for 8,832,149 New Shares at the subscription price of HK$0.792 per New Share; and (ii) convertible bond in the principal amount of HK$18 million which is convertible into 20,757,500 New Shares.

Status of the New Shares
The New Shares in issue upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective will be identical in all respects and shall rank pari passu in all respects with each other as to all future dividends and distribution which are declared, made or paid in accordance with the bye-laws of the Company. Save for the reduction in the par value of the Existing Shares under the Capital Reorganisation, the proposed Capital Reorganisation will not result in any change in the relative rights and interests of the Shareholders as a whole.
Listing Application of the New Shares
An application will be made by the Company to the Stock Exchange for granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation.
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Subject to granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares on the Stock Exchange, the New Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposits, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the New Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second trading day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.
Free exchange of share certificates
Subject to the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, Shareholders may submit share certificates of the Existing Shares to the Company’s branch share registrar (the ‘‘Share Registrar’’) in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at Shops 1712–16, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong for exchange of the new certificates of the New Shares from Wednesday, 3 July, 2019 to Wednesday, 14 August, 2019 (both dates inclusive), at the expenses of the Company. In relation to the share consolidation (the ‘‘Share Consolidation’’) of the Company, it was stated in the circular of the Company dated 29 April 2019 that the Shareholders might during the period from Friday, 17 May 2019 to Tuesday, 25 June 2019 (both days inclusive) submit old share certificate(s) for shares of the Company of par value of HK$0.05 each to the Share Registrar in exchange of new share certificate(s) of the Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.40 each, at the expenses of the Company. In order to facilitate those Shareholders who have not exchanged the old share certificates for the new ones under the Share Consolidation during the aforesaid free-exchange period (which will end on 25 June 2019 as mentioned above) and for the purpose of the Capital Reorganisation, such Shareholders may, at the expenses of the Company, submit the old certificates of the Company of par value of HK$0.05 each (i.e. old share certificates before the Share Consolidation having become effective), in exchange for new share certificates of the Company of par value of HK$0.01 each (i.e. new share certificates after the Capital Reorganisation having become effective) during the period from Wednesday, 3 July 2019 to Wednesday, 14 August 2019. Thereafter, certificates for the Existing Shares will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.5 (or such higher amount as may from time to time be allowed by the Stock Exchange) for each new share certificate issued for the New Shares or each existing certificate for the Existing Shares cancelled, whichever the number is higher. Nevertheless, the existing certificates for the Existing Shares will continue to be good evidence of legal title but are not valid for dealings, trading and settlement purpose after the Capital Reorganisation has become effective and may be exchanged for certificates for the New Shares at any time in accordance with the foregoing.
The new share certificates for the New Shares will be issued in light green colour in order to be distinguished from the existing share certificates which are in navy blue colour.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Reasons for the Capital Reorganisation
The Company believes that the Capital Reorganisation will provide the Company with greater flexibility in future fund raising opportunities. In addition, following the Capital Reorganisation, the Company will be able to utilise and apply any credit balance in the Contributed Surplus (in the amount of approximately HK$313.8 million as at 31 March 2019 assuming the credit arising from the Capital Reduction and the Reduction of Share Premium has been transferred to the Contributed Surplus), including the application of any credit balance to set off against accumulated losses of the Company (in the amount of approximately HK$284.7 million as at 31 March 2019) which will in turn allow greater flexibility for the Company to pay dividends in the future so as to attract new investors. As at the date of this circular, the Company does not have any plan to declare or pay dividend. In addition, the Board considers that the Capital Reorganisation will enable the par value of the Shares to be reduced from HK$0.40 to HK0.01 each, thus giving greater flexibility to the Company to issue new Shares in the future given that the Company is not permitted to issue new Shares below their par value.
After the Share Consolidation had become effective in mid-May 2019, the Company received a writ of summons against the Company and the Company is seeking legal advice in contesting the claim. Based on the level of liquid assets of the Company as disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2018 and the amount of the claim, the Company does not consider the claim to have any material impact in its operation and financial position. Nevertheless, the availability of options for the Company to raise fund to fulfil its funding needs is limited by the fact that the Shares have been trading below par value for a prolonged period of time. Therefore, although the Company does not have any fund raising plan as at the date of this circular, the Capital Reorganisation will give the Company greater flexibility to consider different options, including but not limited to raising fund by issuing new Shares, to strengthen its financial position, particularly when considering the uncertainty arisen from the snowballing SinoUS trade war and the above-mentioned claim since the Company announced implementation of the Share Consolidation in mid-April 2019. Based on the above, the Directors are of the view that the Capital Reorganisation is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should be aware of and take note that the proposed Capital Reorganisation is conditional upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set out in the paragraphs headed ‘‘Conditions of the Capital Reorganisation’’ above, and therefore may or may not proceed. Accordingly, they are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Existing Shares, and if they are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their professional advisers.
SGM
A notice convening the SGM to be held at Suites 903–905, 9th Floor, Shui On Centre, 6–8 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong on Tuesday, 2 July 2019, at 10: 00 a.m. is set out on pages 12 to 14 of this circular. A special resolution will be proposed at the SGM to approve the Capital Reorganisation.
