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 and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

C. BASIS OF DETERMINATION FOR CONSIDERATION

The Board confirmed that the consideration of the Subscription was determined on the basis of commercial terms negotiated at arm’s length.

D. REASONS AND BENEFITS OF SUBSCRIPTION

The Subscription was made from the spare funds of the Group and was made for the treasury management purpose to increase the return of the idle funds of the Group after taking into account, among others, the level of risk and return on investment. Although the Wealth Management Product was marketed as a non-principal guaranteed financial product and without a guaranteed return, the Board considers that the Wealth Management Product with a flexible redemption term had relatively low risk as the Group would be readily able to recover the principal and receive the expected return on the Subscription. Therefore, the Board considers that the Subscription does not cause any adverse impact on the working capital of the Group.

Appropriate short-term wealth management with low risk exposure is conducive to enhancing the utilisation of capital while increasing income from idle funds. The Board is of the view that the Subscription, which offered a better interest rate than the prevailing fixed-term deposit interest rates offered by banks or licensed financial institutions, was made on normal commercial terms in the ordinary course of business of the Group, is fair and reasonable and is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

E. INFORMATION OF PARTIES

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, CCB and its ultimate substantial beneficial owners as publicly disclosed by CCB are third parties independent from the Company and its connected persons.

F. IMPLICATIONS UNDER GEM LISTING RULES

At the relevant time, since at least one of the applicable percentage ratios for the Subscription exceeded 25% but were less than 100%, the Subscription constituted a major transaction under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules and was subject to the notification, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements set out under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.

The Company regrets that it did not duly comply with the notification, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under Rule 19.34, 19.38 and 19.40 of the GEM Listing Rules by omitting to issue an announcement and circular for shareholders’ approval at the relevant time of making the Subscription. The Company wishes to apologise in this regard and now publishes this circular to provide details of the Subscription.

It is always the intention of the Company to fully comply with the GEM Listing Rules. The Directors, having been fully informed of all the facts of the Subscription, consider that the failure to comply with Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules in respect of the Subscription was inadvertent and can be avoided going forward. The Group has taken the incident seriously and shall implement the following remedial measures to prevent re-occurrence of similar incidents:

  • the Company will review and introduce a policy manual (the ‘‘Manual’’) in respect of calculation of size test ratios for wealth management products;

  • the Company will formulate a guideline (the ‘‘Guideline’’) pursuant to which relevant personnel who are responsible for purchasing wealth management products are required to report to the finance department of the Company (the ‘‘Finance Department’’) in advance about a proposed subscription of wealth management products, and shall only subscribe for such products after the Finance Department has evaluated the implications of the GEM Listing Rules and the Group has complied with the applicable requirements under the GEM Listing Rules;

  • the Company will circulate the Manual and the Guideline of the Group to all Directors, senior management, finance staff and accounting staff of the Group;

  • internal training sessions will be organised to explain the GEM Listing Rules and the reporting procedure of notifiable transactions, and to emphasise the importance of identifying such transactions prior to execution;

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • the internal control and compliance department of the Group will perform regular checks on whether the relevant personnel have complied with the Guideline in relation to subscription of wealth management products; and

  • the Company will improve its communication with its subsidiaries and emphasise the importance of ensuring the Company’s compliance with the GEM Listing Rules.

Any Shareholder who is interested in the Subscription shall abstain from voting on the resolution to ratify and approve the Subscription at the EGM. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief after having made all reasonable enquiries, as at the Latest Practicable Date, no Shareholder is interested in the Subscription and will be required to abstain from voting on the resolution to ratify and approve the Subscription at the EGM.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF GROUP

Save as aforesaid, the Group did not, as at 30 September 2020, have any material outstanding (i) debt securities, whether issued and outstanding, authorised or otherwise created but unissued, or term loans, whether guaranteed, unguaranteed, secured (whether the security is provided by the Group or by third parties) or unsecured; (ii) other borrowings or indebtedness in the nature of borrowing including bank overdrafts and liabilities under acceptances (other than normal trade bills) or acceptance credits or hire purchase commitments, whether guaranteed, unguaranteed, secured or unsecured; (iii) mortgage or charges; or (iv) guarantees or other contingent liabilities.

3. WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors are of the opinion that, after due and careful enquiry and after taking into account the existing bank balances and cash, internal resources and also the effect of the transactions in relation to Wealth Management Product, the Group will have sufficient working capital for its present requirements for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this circular, in the absence of unforeseeable circumstances.

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF GROUP

The Group is principally engaged in (i) sales of renewable energy products, (ii) new energy power system integration business, (iii) sales of self-service automatic teller machine systems and printing systems and (iv) provision of hardware and software technical support services in the PRC.

As disclosed in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 March 2020, the decrease in revenue was due to a drop in the sales of solar power related products from approximately RMB80.0 million for the year ended 31 March 2019 to approximately RMB25.8 million for the year ended 31 March 2020, as well as the decrease in revenue derived from the rendering of new energy power system integration services from approximately RMB82.8 million for the year ended 31 March 2019 to approximately RMB65.3 million for the year ended 31 March 2020, as a result of the impact of the outbreak (the ‘‘Outbreak’’) of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the implementation of various control measures in the PRC where people in the PRC had been restricted from returning to work since the Outbreak and no work could be conducted at construction sites.

The Group’s gross profit margin was approximately 9.5% for the year ended 31 March 2020, as compared to approximately 21.9% for the year ended 31 March 2019. The decrease in the gross profit margin was attributable to the increase in cost for the new energy power system integration business due to the severe climate conditions in the PRC during the year ended 31 March 2020.

I – 2

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF GROUP

The revenue generated from the sales of solar power related products was approximately RMB25.8 million for the year ended 31 March 2020 (2019: approximately RMB80.0 million), accounting for approximately 28.3% of the Group’s total revenue (2019: approximately 49.1%). The decrease in the revenue was because the delivery of the solar power related products was suspended and no revenue arising from the sales of solar power related products was recorded from 1 January 2020 to 31 March 2020 due to the Outbreak.

The revenue generated from the new energy power system integration business was approximately RMB65.3 million during the year ended 31 March 2020 (2019: RMB82.8 million). The decrease in revenue was because no construction work was conducted and no revenue was generated from the new energy power system integration business from 1 January 2020 to 31 March 2020 due to the Outbreak.

There was no revenue generated from the sales of self-service ATM systems and printing systems during the year ended 31 March 2020 (2019: Nil).

There was no revenue generated from the provision of hardware and software technical support services during the year ended 31 March 2020 (2019: Nil).

The Group has been identifying and exploring other business opportunities so as to diversify the Group’s business into the wind power generation projects with growth potential and to broaden its sources of income to bring return to the Group and the Shareholders.

On 9 April 2020 and 2 May 2020, the Group had entered into three supply contracts with a PRC state-owned entity (the ‘‘Purchaser’’) pursuant to which the Group agreed to (i) sell and the Purchaser agreed to purchase towers for wind turbines and provide to the Purchaser technical services associated with the wind power projects for which the towers for wind turbines will be used, at an aggregate consideration of approximately RMB249.6 million; and (ii) sell and the Purchaser agreed to purchase mounting required under a construction project of a solar photovoltaic power station at a consideration of approximately RMB65.8 million. These transactions and matters contemplated thereunder are expected to be completed by 31 March 2021. The Board believes that these transactions represent a good opportunity in the renewable energy business.

Considering the PRC government’s long-term encouragement on distributed photovoltaic power generation, the Group will continue to look for other solar energy generation projects and new energy power system integration services. The Group has been negotiating and securing new contracts for the new energy power system integration business.

The Group will finance its future business plans by internally generated cash flow and borrowings.
