CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED
GEM has been 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 and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The conversion rights shall not be allowed to exercise by the Noteholder if, (i) immediately following the conversion, the Company will be unable to meet the public float requirement under Rule 11.23 of the GEM Listing Rules; or (ii) if such conversion will trigger the obligation by the Noteholder or party acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) to make a general offer of the Shares under the Takeovers Code.

Unless previously redeemed, converted or purchased and cancelled, the Convertible Note is to be redeemed on maturity at 100% of the principal amount outstanding under the Convertible Note together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon on the Maturity Date.
At the option of the Company, the Convertible Note may be redeemed in amounts of HK$1,000,000 or integral multiples thereof on any Business Day prior to the Maturity Date at 100% of the principal amount outstanding under the Convertible Note together with all interest accrued thereon up to and including the date of redemption. The Convertible Note redeemed by the Company will be forthwith cancelled and may not thereafter be reissued or resold.
THE CONVERSION PRICE
The initial Conversion Price of HK$0.31 per Conversion Share, which has been determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Subscriber with reference to the following factors:
-
the then prevailing market price of the Shares at the time of negotiation of the terms of the Subscription Agreement in late May 2016;
-
the financial position and the financial performance of the Group: (a) the Group recorded deficit in assets as at 31 March 2015 and the net asset value per Share was only approximately HK$0.041, representing a discount of 86.77% to the initial Conversion Price, as at 30 September 2015 (based on the net asset value of the Group of HK$38,761,000 and the number of issued Shares of 935,512,500 as at 30 September 2015); and (b) the Group had been loss-making for the last three consecutive financial years ended 31 March 2015 and for the 9 months ended 31 December 2015, therefore the discount of the Conversion Price to the then prevailing market price would provide more incentive for the Subscriber; and
-
the placing price of HK$0.31 per Share for the placing of new Shares completed on 10 March 2016 (the “ 2016 Placing ”), which is only approximately two months prior to the date of the Subscription Agreement, served as a price reference for the Subscriber in negotiating the initial Conversion Price.
– 9 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The initial Conversion Price represents:
-
(i) a discount of about 18.42% to the closing price of HK$0.38 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 30 May 2016 (the “ Last Trading Day ”);
-
(ii) a discount of about 19.48% to the average closing price of HK$0.385 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
-
(iii) a discount of about 20.31% to the average closing price of HK$0.389 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the ten consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
-
(iv) a discount of about 4.62% to the closing price of HK$0.325 as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date; and
-
(v) a premium of approximately 377% to the audited net asset value per Share of approximately HK$0.065 as at 31 March 2016.
The Directors considered that it is not uncommon for a company to provide discount to the market price as an incentive to potential investors in return for fund to meet the funding need of a company when determining the conversion price of convertible securities, especially when the company is not in good financial position and does not have strong financial performance. Further to the factors considered in determining the Conversion Price above, as (i) the extent of discount to the Conversion Price was within the maximum limit generally applied for other listed companies’ fund raising activities utilizing pre-approved general mandates (i.e. 20%); and (ii) the terms of the Subscription will be put forward for the Shareholders’ approval at the EGM, the Board therefore considered that the Conversion Price, including the discount was in the interest of the Shareholders as a whole.
THE CONVERSION SHARES
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has 1,095,360,500 Shares in issue. Assuming the conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Note are exercised in full at the initial Conversion Price of HK$0.31 per Conversion Share, a total of 112,903,225 Conversion Shares will be issued by the Company.
The 112,903,225 Conversion Shares represent (i) approximately 10.31% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (ii) approximately 9.34% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Conversion Shares.
The Conversion Shares shall rank pari passu with all other Shares in issue as at the date of conversion and be entitled to all dividends, bonus and other distributions, the record date of which falls on a date on or after the date of conversion.
– 10 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Conversion Shares falling to be allotted and issued upon exercise of the conversion rights attached to the Convertible Note will be issued under a specific mandate to be sought from the Shareholders at the EGM.

– 12 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The management of the Group has been reviewing its existing businesses from time to time and strived to improve the business performance and financial position of the Group. Prior to entering into the Subscription Agreement, the Company has identified the business opportunity of the Acquisition. In light of the funding needs for developing the existing businesses and fulfilling the working capital needs of the Group as stated in the section heading “INTENDED USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THE SUBSCRIPTION” in this circular, and the current financial position of the Company, the Company entered into the Subscription Agreement. The Directors consider that the Subscription provides an opportunity for the Company to enhance its working capital and cash flow and to strengthen its capital base and financial position.
Funding needs
In early May 2016, the Company got to know the opportunities regarding the Acquisition. The Company considered that the Acquisition could enable the Group to enhance development of its pharmaceutical business in PRC. In late May 2016, the negotiation was materialized. As at 31 May 2016, being the date of the Subscription Agreement, the cash and bank balance of the Group was amounted to only approximately HK$12.5 million (after deducting the HK$5 million deposit for the Acquisition made in June 2016 was HK$7.5 million), which can merely support the Group’s operation for approximately 4 months. Therefore, the Group considered that there was an immediate and crucial funding need to finance the Acquisition and working capital for maintaining the Group’s operation, as well as for potential acquisition as may be identified by the Group from time to time.
As disclosed in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 March 2016, the Group had cash and bank balance of approximately HK$28.76 million as at 31 March 2016. Subsequently, approximately HK$8.09 million was used by the head office as administrative expenses; HK$5.00 million was paid as the initial deposit for the Acquisition and HK$0.81 million was used for purchase of stock by the pharmaceutical business; HK$10.30 million was lent out as loans and HK$0.10 million was used as administrative expenses by the lending business; HK$1.15 million was used as administrative expenses by the wireless value-added services business; and HK$2.61 million was used for purchase of stock and as administrative expenses by the jewelry business. As such, the remaining cash and bank balance as at the Latest Practicable Date is only approximately HK$0.7 million, which demonstrates that the Group has an immediate and crucial funding need. Such cash and bank balance will be applied as administrative expenses to maintain the Group’s recent operation.

Financing alternatives
The Directors have considered various financing methods to meet the funding needs. As to equity financing methods such as placing of new Shares, it will have an immediate dilution effect to the existing Shareholders’ interest and may incur underwriting fee and other expenses. In addition, although pre-emptive issues such as rights issue and open offer would allow Shareholders to maintain their pro-rata share interests in the Company, they involve more documentation and administrative procedures than the Subscription and will unavoidably incur higher costs, especially if such issues were fully underwritten (underwriting fee may incur). If the pre-emptive issue was not fully underwritten, in view of the financial position and financial performance of the Group and the low liquidity of the Shares, the existing Shareholders’ willingness to further invest in the Company is uncertain and hence the results of the pre-emptive issues would be uncertain after documentation and administrative costs were incurred.
As to other debt financing methods, the obtaining of bank loan will be subject to the banks’ lengthy due diligence and credit approval processes. Given the financial position and the financial performance of the Group, it is difficult for the Company to obtain credit facility in reasonable time and in favourable terms to meet its current funding need. Compared to bank borrowing, the issue of the Convertible Note does not require any pledge of assets and will not create substantial cash flow burden on the Company if it is converted in full before maturity.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In view of the above, the Company considered raising fund by issue of convertible note is appropriate and efficient to meet the Company’s funding needs. Since Mr. Xu had known Mr. Wen for years and he considered that Mr. Wen had solid financial background and diverse investment experience, Mr. Xu then approached Mr. Wen for possible subscription of convertible note to be issued by the Company. Subsequently, Mr. Wen referred Mr. Xu to his spouse, Ms. Shen Jing, for further discussion of the possible subscription.
As the proposed principal terms of the Convertible Note (such as principal amount, interest and initial conversion price), which were comparable to the terms of other similar issues of convertible securities by other listed companies, were reached in preliminary discussion with Ms. Shen Jing, in order to save time and cost on other new rounds of assessment, discussion and negotiation with other potential investors which may or may not achieve ideal results, the Company focused its time on the negotiation and finalized the Subscription Agreement for the Convertible Note with Ms. Shen Jing. Therefore, other investors were not approached and the Company did not take any concrete actions for other fund raising means.
Terms of the Subscription Agreement
As part of the assessment, the Board has compared terms of fund raising through convertible bonds/notes (interest rate and rate of discount on convertible bonds/notes) announced by other Hong Kong listed companies in the past four months prior to entering into the Subscription Agreement. The Board has identified, to its best knowledge, 38 convertible bonds/notes issue cases under both general mandate or specific mandate.
Notwithstanding the size, business nature, scale of operations and prospects of the comparables are not the same as the Company, the Board considered that as (i) the four-month period for selecting comparables (i.e. 1 February 2016 to 30 May 2016) is sufficiently recent to demonstrate the prevailing market practices prior to the date of the Subscription Agreement; and (ii) sufficient samples were identified for comparison within such period for making a general reference, therefore the Board considered that the 38 comparables identified were of a sample size to be fair and representative for comparison.
It was noted that interest rate of the convertible bonds/notes issued in the past four months by other listed companies ranged from nil to 12% per annum. The interest rate of 6% of the Convertible Note was within the market range.
It was also noted that for the convertible bonds/notes issued at discount in the last four months, the discounts to the closing price on the last trading day and to the average closing price for the last five consecutive trading days prior to the issue of relevant announcements ranged from approximately 5.8% to 26.47% and approximately 5.8% to 39.61% respectively (excluding discount of extremity). The discount of the initial Conversion Price as compared to the closing price on the Last Trading Day and to the average closing price for the last five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day of 18.42% and 19.48% respectively were within such market ranges.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Other terms of the Subscription Agreement, such as transferability, conversion rights, redemption, adjustment to conversion price etc., were similar and comparable to such terms of the convertible bonds/notes issued by other listed companies in the past four months period prior to the date of the Subscription Agreement.
Based on the above, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Subscription Agreement and the Convertible Note which were determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Subscriber, to be on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
An application has been made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Conversion Shares.

The Acquisition was completed on 30 August 2016. The consideration for the Acquisition of Sino Yao Shang is HK$9.3 million, of which HK$4.3 million has not been paid to the vendor of the Acquisition as at the Latest Practicable Date and is required to be paid as soon as possible. Sino Yao Shang was incorporated in the BVI with limited liability on 11 November 2015. Sino Yao Shang and its subsidiaries (the “ Sino Yao Shang Group ”) are principally engaged in the trading of the Chinese medicine and it may also expand its business into O2O (online-to-offline) platform in future. Currently the planned medicine online trading platform is under construction, and is designed to be accessible in computer and other mobile apps through which Chinese medicine suppliers, medical institutions, pharmaceutical companies and end-users can take part in the purchase and sale of a wide variety of Chinese herbal medicine and healthcare products in a faster and more efficient and convenient way, and at a minimum cost. The Sino Yao Shang Group will also leverage on the platform to develop Chinese medicine trading business and other

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
related supporting service. The Sino Yao Shang Group has obtained the necessary licenses in carrying out the medicine trading business, such as the pharmaceutical operation permit (藥品經營許可證), the medical equipment operation permit (醫療器械經營企業許可 證) and the Good Supply Practices (GSP) certificate (藥品經營質量管理規範認證證書). The Acquisition will enable the Group to directly obtain the necessary business licenses to operate pharmaceutical business in the PRC. To the best of knowledge, information and belief of the Directors and after having made all reasonable enquiries, the Subscriber, its ultimate beneficial owner and associates are not related to the vendor of the Acquisition. For details of this Acquisition, please refer to the announcement of the Company dated 31 May 2016, 23 August 2016 and 30 August 2016.
Given (i) the remaining consideration of the Acquisition is still outstanding and need to be settled, (ii) the medicine trading business is ready to commence shortly after completion of the Acquisition as it enables the Group to obtain the necessary business licenses for such business; and (iii) the Board is optimistic on the prospect of Chinese medicine business in the PRC and intended to develop such business, the Directors considered the allocation of substantial amount of net proceeds from the Subscription towards the business development of the pharmaceutical and healthcare products business is justifiable.
BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF THE GROUP’S BUSINESS
Pharmaceutical and healthcare products business
The Group commenced the pharmaceutical and healthcare products business in late 2015. The Group is expected to benefit from making inroads into a market with a population of 1.4 billion in the PRC. Despite that the current economic conditions in the PRC is challenging, it is believed that this could turn out to be an opportunity for the Group to develop a sound market share there. The Group is currently researching on developing a feasible business model in the PRC. As the Group has just made effort in developing this business segment, the pharmaceutical and healthcare products business in China is still at the development stage. The pharmaceutical and healthcare products business has brought in revenue of approximately HK$2.4 million to the Group for the three months ended 30 June 2016.
Under this segment, the Group is planning to develop a Chinese medicine business. Currently, the Sino Yao Shang Group is holding necessary licenses in carrying out medicine trading business in the PRC. The Acquisition, which was completed in late August 2016, enables the Group to tap into the prosperous segment of pharmaceutical business in the PRC. Through the Acquisition, the Group acquired a computerized trading platform and planned to further develop it into a national wide online-to-offline pharmaceutical trading platform. Significant part of proceeds from the Subscription will be used to further develop the pharmaceutical and healthcare products business.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Wireless value-added services business
With the growing market penetration of mobile devices and increasing use of internet to connect daily life of each individual in the PRC market, the Group will continue to engage in the mobile wireless value-added services business, notwithstanding de-consolidation of certain subsidiaries under the wireless segment as a result of loss of control over certain subsidiaries since 1 January 2016. After the expiry of certain wireless value-added service contracts with a PRC telecommunication operator during the year ended 31 March 2016, the Group did not have any revenue from this segment during the three months ended 30 June 2016. The Group is endeavored to assess customer preference and develop new value-added service platform in another existing subsidiary to capture the business opportunities in this segment. The Group has established a PRC company for wireless value-added services, which will include but not limited to seek for further business opportunities in mobile games and e-commerce platform.
Jewelry trading and retailing business
In December 2015, the Group acquired Mastery Jewellery Co. Limited, which together with its subsidiaries, are principally engaged in the design, research and development and wholesale of jewellery. Mastery Jewellery Co. Limited operates a retail store in Shenzhen. This acquisition allows the Company to establish its business in the jewellery sector and to broaden income source. The Jewelry trading and retailing business has brought in revenue of approximately HK$1.2 million to the Group for the three months ended 30 June 2016.
Lending business
The Group embarked its lending business since January 2016 by the acquisition of companies holding necessary money lenders license pursuant to the Money Lenders Ordinance (Chapter 163, Laws of Hong Kong). This new diversified segment has started to generate stable investment returns since January 2016 and has generated revenue of approximately HK$0.8 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016. The Group would keep on to monitor the market and environment for further possible expansion opportunities in this segment.
Investment in advertising business
The Group has taped into advertising business on 23 October 2015 by the acquisition of 6% equity interest of Hong Kong Net TV Limited, which is principally engaged in the provision of advertising and consultancy services and are holding 5 Certificates of Hong Kong Service Supplier issued by the Trade and Industry Department of Hong Kong pursuant to the Mainland and Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (“CEPA”) in respect of the right to provide and render advertising services, photographic services and audiovisual services. Notwithstanding its business potential, the Board is of a view to justify any business possibility and therefore remains intact as passive investor herein for profit sharing only.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has no intention to scale down nor dispose of any of the existing businesses as stated above, but will review the operation and performance of these businesses from time to time to evaluate the needs to adjust future business plans for the interests and benefit of Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
BUSINESS PLAN AND FUTURE FUNDING NEED OF THE GROUP
The Group is principally engaged in the provision of wireless value-added services and has recently expanded its business into the pharmaceutical and healthcare products, jewellery trading and retailing and lending business industries, financed mainly by the fund raised in August 2015 and February 2016 respectively.
With a view to strengthen and diversify the business of the Group to provide better return to the Company, the Group will keep on searching for potential investment opportunities. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group is searching for land property in China for the Chinese medicine business, however, no target property has been identified. Save and except for the above and the Acquisition, as at the Latest Practicable Date the Company does not have any intention or is not in negotiation or has not entered into any agreement, arrangement or understanding regarding any potential acquisition or disposal of its major assets or existing businesses.
Details of the funding needs are set out under the section headed “REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION — Funding needs” above.
In view of the current low cash position, there was insufficient cash to meet the funding need of the Group for its business development and future acquisition if opportunities arise, therefore the Company shall continue to seek for other fund raising opportunities available to the Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the Subscription Agreement, the Company has no intention nor any specific plan to enter into any legally-binding agreement in respect of any fund raising activity and there is currently no proposal presented by any other potential investors for investment in the Shares. Announcement will be made by the Company in the event any concrete fund raising plan arises as and when appropriate.
II. THE EGM
The EGM will be held on 20th Floor, The Chinese Bank Building, 61-65 Des Voeux Road Central, Central, Hong Kong on Tuesday, 18 October 2016 at 11:00 a.m. for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving the (i) ordinary resolution in respect of the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the proposed issue of the Convertible Note under the specific mandate.
