LETTER FROM THE BOARD

SUMMARY OF THE VALUATION REPORT

The Valuation Report was issued by the Valuer on 2 December 2011. During the valuation analysis, the asset approach, the market approach and the income approach were considered, and the approach or approaches deemed most relevant will then be selected for use in the fair value analysis of the asset.

The Market Approach

The Valuer have considered but rejected the market approach for the valuation of the equity interest of the Target Group because the Company is about to dispose the Target Group’s business operation and they were unable to satisfy themselves to compare it with other public or private companies with outgoing operation.

The Income Approach

The Valuer have considered but rejected the income approach for the valuation of the equity interest of the Target Group because the Company is about to dispose the Target Group’s business operation and they were unable to satisfy themselves as to any profit forecast prepared by the management of the Target Group.

The Asset Approach

The Valuer have considered and applied the asset approach for the valuation of the equity interest of the Target Group because (i) the Target Group has significant part of its assets records at historical cost and (ii) the underlying assets of the Target Group are the driving factors in the valuation owing to the fact that the Company may dispose the Target Group’s operation in the garment trading business.

As noted by the Valuer in respect of the valuation method adopted by it in valuing the Target Group, the valuation is performed by using the Adjusted Book Value Method, which is based on the balance sheet of the Target Group as at 30 September 2011 and then adjusted the value of all its assets and liabilities to the fair value. As noted by the Valuer, the methodology is typically based on the premise that a business will continue to operate in a manner consistent with its intended business purpose, i.e. the going concern premise of value, as opposed to liquidation.

Based on the sub-consolidated accounts of the Target Group extracted from the working paper of the Company in the Company’s interim report and reviewed by the auditors, the Company adjusted the book value of the Target Group’s assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2011 to the unaudited pro forma financial position of the Target Group as at 30 September 2011 by considering the relevant accounting and impairment transactions occurred during the period from 1 July 2011 to 30 September 2011. The Valuer then adjusted the unaudited pro forma financial positions as at 30 September 2011 to their actual or estimated fair values to estimate the net asset value of the Target Group as at the Valuation Date. Since the assets and the liabilities of the Target Group have been already adjusted to their actual or estimated fair values, the Valuer considered that the marketability discount in this case is not applicable.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the unaudited consolidated account of the Target Group, the net asset value of the Target Group was HK$11,739,000 as at 30 September 2011. The Valuer then adjusted the unaudited consolidated account as at 30 September 2011 to their actual or estimated fair values to estimate the net asset value of the Target Group as at the Valuation Date.

Net Asset Value (NAV)
Valuation Adjustment (Note)
Adjusted NAV

Note: This represents the adjustment on the bank deposit as at 30 September 2011. Since the Target Company received a post dated cheque after 30 September 2011 and has been included in the ledger of the Target Company, the Valuer considers that it is prudent to exclude such amount from the total bank and cash balance as at the Valuation Date in the valuation.

REASONS FOR THE DISPOSAL

The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries are the trading of apparel and accessories, provision of waste treatment technologies and services which specialized in technology development, design, system integration, project investment, consultancy, operation and maintenance of waste treatment facilities, especially waste-to-energy projects. According to the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2011, the Group recorded an unaudited loss of approximately HK$103.86 million from the trading of apparel and accessories segment, representing an increase of approximately 7.1 times as compared with the loss of HK$12.85 million for the six months ended 30 June 2010.

In 2011, the Eurozone debt crisis has spread to some other European countries apart from Greece, such as Italy, Spain, France and Portugal. Concern about rising government deficits and debt levels together with a wave of downgrading of European government debt rating created alarm in financial markets. It is anticipated that the debt crisis may further reduce the purchasing power and worsen the general economy of the Eurozone countries. Given that Europe is a major market of the Group’s garment trading business which attributed more than 50% of the total revenue from the trading of apparel and accessories business segment of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2011, the Directors consider that the Group’s trading of apparel and accessories business will be adversely affected. In view of the above factors, the Directors consider that it is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders to dispose of the Target Group.

Due to the fact that the Group has not engaged in any business of trading of apparel and accessories in these few months which was loss making in the past few years and in view of the future development of waste-to-energy industry in China, the Directors consider that the Group will continue to focus on the development of waste-to-energy business in Asia and cease to carry on the business of trading of apparel and accessories after the Disposal. Save for the Disposal, the Company had no intention, negotiation, agreement, arrangement and understanding (concluded or otherwise) about any disposal, scaling-down and/or termination of its existing business at the Latest Practicable Date.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) also consider that the terms and conditions of the Disposal Agreement and the Disposal contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THE DISPOSAL ON THE GROUP

Earnings

According to the financial statement of the Target Company for the year ended 31 December 2010, the Target Group recorded the net liabilities value of HK$196.64 million, which was mainly attributed from the amount due to the Group (other than the Target Group) of approximately HK$290.44 million. Subsequent to 31 December 2010, the Group capitalized the whole amount by way of allotment and issue of new shares of the Target Company (the ‘‘Capitalisation’’). As a result of the Capitalisation, the Target Group is not indebted to the Group. In addition to the Capitalization, due to the adverse market situation on the trading of apparel and accessories business, the Company has made an impairment on inventories and trade receivables in between 31 December 2010 and 30 September 2011.

Upon Completion, the Group is expected to recognize an one-off loss on disposal of the Target Group of approximately HK$0.74 million after taking into account of the professional and other fees incidental to the Disposal. Such loss is calculated with reference to the difference between the net proceeds of the Disposal and the unaudited net assets value of the Target Group which amounted to approximately HK$11.74 million as at 30 September 2011 (adjusted after the Capitalisation). Shareholders should note that the actual gain/loss on the Disposal to be recorded by the Company will depend on the net asset value of the Target Group as at the date of Completion.

Assets and liabilities

Upon Completion, the Target Group will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and the financial results of the Target Group will no longer be consolidated into the financial statements of the Group. Based on the unaudited consolidated accounts of the Group as at 30 September 2011, the net assets of the Group is expected to be decreased immediately after the Completion.

Save as disclosed herein, the Disposal will not have any material impact on the earnings and assets and liabilities of the Group.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The Group intends to keep the net proceeds of approximately HK$11,000,000 derived from the Disposal as general working capital which will be used for its existing businesses and for funding of investments as and when suitable opportunities arise. Save for the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of 醴陵首創垃圾綜合處理有限責任公司 (Lining Beijing Capital Waste Treatment Company Limited*), the Company has not identified any suitable investment opportunities as at the Latest Practicable Date.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATION OF THE DISPOSAL

As the Revenue Ratio exceeds 25%, the entering into of the Disposal Agreement constitutes a major transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirement.

Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude the Shareholders from attending and voting in person at the EGM or at any adjournment thereof should they wish to do so.

Accordingly, the Board recommends the Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolutions as set out in the notice of the EGM.

The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries are the trading of apparel and accessories, provision of waste treatment technologies and services which specialized in technology development, design, system integration, project investment, consultancy, operation and maintenance of waste treatment facilities, especially waste-to-energy projects.

According to an article ‘‘WTE in China’’ dated 1 August 2010 from the website of Waste Management World, since the beginning of the 21st century, China has increased its waste-to-energy capacity from 2 million to 14 million tons of municipal solid wastes. There were 66 waste-to-energy plants in China by 2007 and it is projected to increase to one hundred by 2012. Due to the fact that the Group has not engaged in any business of trading of apparel and accessories in these few months which was loss making in the past few years and in view of the future development of waste-to-energy industry in China, the Directors consider that the Group will continue to focus on the development of waste-to-energy business in Asia and cease to carry out the business of trading of apparel and accessories after the Disposal.

The Company has been actively looking for solutions to improve the overall financial performance of the Group, including but not limited to reviewing the existing business operations of the Group and seeking other opportunities to develop in waste-to-energy projects.
