THIS PROSPECTUS IS IMPORTANT AND REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION

If you are in any doubt as to any aspect of this prospectus or as to the action you should take, you should consult your licensed securities dealer or registered institution in securities, bank manager, solicitor, professional accountant or other professional adviser.

If you have sold or transferred all your shares in South East Group Limited (the “ Company ”), you should at once hand the Prospectus Documents to the purchaser or the transferee or to the bank manager, licensed securities dealer or registered institution in securities or other agent through whom the sale was effected for transmission to the purchaser or the transferee.

A copy of each of the Prospectus Documents, together with the documents specified in the paragraph headed “Documents delivered to the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong” in Appendix III to this prospectus, has been registered with the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong pursuant to Section 342C of the Companies (Winding up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Chapter 32 of the Laws of Hong Kong). The Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong and the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong take no responsibility for the contents of any of these documents. Dealings in the securities of the Company may be settled through CCASS and you should consult a licensed securities dealer, bank manager, solicitor, professional accountant or other professional adviser for details of the settlement arrangements and how such arrangements may affect your rights and interests.

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares on the Stock Exchange as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of HKSCC, the Rights Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms or such other dates as determined by HKSCC. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.

Underwriter to the Rights Issue

Terms used in this cover page shall have the same meanings as defined in this prospectus.

The Latest Time For Acceptance is 4:00 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on Wednesday, 22 October 2014. The procedures for application of the Rights Shares and application for the excess Rights Shares are set out on pages 13 to 16 of this prospectus.

Shareholders should note that the Shares have been dealt on an ex-entitlements basis commencing from Friday, 26 September 2014 and that dealing in the Rights Shares in the nil-paid form will take place from Friday, 10 October 2014 to Friday, 17 October 2014 (both days inclusive). If the Underwriter terminates the Underwriting Agreement, or the conditions of the Rights Issue are not fulfilled, the Rights Issue will not proceed. Any Shareholders or other persons contemplating selling or purchasing Shares up to the date when the conditions of the Rights Issue are fulfilled (which is expected to be Tuesday, 28 October 2014) will accordingly bear the risk that the Rights Issue could not become unconditional and may not proceed.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the Undertaking as disclosed above, the Board has not received any information or irrevocable undertakings from any substantial Shareholders of their intention to take up the securities of the Company to be offered to them under the Rights Issue.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are outstanding Convertible Bond with an aggregate principal amount of HK$68,000,000 convertible into 162,679,425 new Shares at the conversion price of HK$0.418 per conversion share (subject to adjustments).

The number of Rights Shares is arrived at based on eight (8) Rights Shares for every one (1) existing Share held on the Record Date, taking into account (i) the 364,955,880 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date; (ii) assuming no new Share will be issued or repurchased by the Company on or before the Record Date; and (iii) no Convertible Bond is converted on or before the Record Date.

Subscription Price

The Subscription Price is HK$0.1 per Rights Share, payable in full by a Qualifying Shareholder upon acceptance of the provisional allotments of the Rights Shares and, where applicable, application for excess Rights Shares or when a transferee of nil-paid Rights Shares applies for the Rights Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Subscription Price represents:

  • (i) a discount of approximately 71.43% to the closing price of HK$0.350 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 72.14% to the average closing prices of approximately HK$0.359 per Share for the last 5 trading days as quoted on the Stock Exchange up to and including the Last Trading Day;

  • (iii) a discount of approximately 21.88% to the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK$0.128 per Share after the Rights Issue, calculated based on the closing price of HK$0.350 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • (iv) a discount of approximately 73.96% to the average of the closing prices of HK$0.384 per Share for the last 10 trading days as quoted on the Stock Exchange up to and including the Last Trading Day; and

  • (v) a discount of approximately 25.37% to the closing price of HK$0.134 per Share (ex-rights) as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date.

The Subscription Price was a commercial decision and was arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and the Underwriter with reference to the following factors:

i) the capital needs of the Group

The Group’s business operations were principally related to the selling of completed properties and leasing of properties for rental income in the PRC. As disclosed in the announcements of the Company dated 26 February 2014, 23 May 2014 and 22 August 2014 respectively, the Company entered into the Framework Agreement in relation to the Proposed Acquisition. The Properties are located in the Luohu District of Shenzhen which is a prosperous area and one of the most well developed districts in Shenzhen. The consideration of the Proposed Acquisition will be determined after further negotiation between the vendor (the “Vendor”) and the Company with reference to the finalized market value of the Properties to be evaluated by an independent valuer engaged by the Company. The preliminary valuation of the Properties as appraised by the independent valuer is approximately RMB400 million (equivalent to approximately HK$500 million at the exchange rate of RMB1: HK$1.25). As requested by the Vendor, the consideration will be satisfied by the Company in the combination of cash, the issuance of consideration shares, promissory notes or/and convertible notes by the Company, whereas the cash portion of the consideration shall be not less than HK$300 million. If (i) the Formal Agreement is not entered into on or before the long stop date of the Framework Agreement; or (ii) the Formal Agreement is entered into but completion of the Proposed Acquisition for whatever causes does not take place; or (iii) the Framework Agreement is terminated for whatever causes, the Earnest Money (if paid) shall be refunded forthwith to the Company. If the Formal Agreement is entered into and the parties thereto proceed to completion of the Proposed Acquisition, the Earnest Money will be treated as part payment of the consideration and will be dealt with pursuant to the Formal Agreement. As at the Latest Practicable Date, negotiations and

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

discussions between the Company and the Vendor as regards the Proposed Acquisition were still ongoing. By entering into a second supplemental framework agreement between the Company and the Vendor on 22 August 2014, the Company’s exclusive right to the Properties was extended for three more months and hence the long stop date of the Framework Agreement will fall on 25 November 2014. As the Company does not have sufficient resources to finance the payment of the Earnest Money of HK$22 million under the Framework Agreement, it is difficult to make much progress on the negotiations on the terms and conditions in relation to the Proposed Acquisition with the Vendor. Accordingly, the Company is in imminent need for new capital to finance the Proposed Acquisition.

ii) the financial position of the Group

For the year ended 31 March 2014, turnover of approximately HK$401,000 was recorded from property sales and rental income of approximately HK$416,000. As at 31 March 2014, a gross floor area of only 7,845 square meters of completed commercial properties in Zouping, Shandong Province, the PRC was remained at the Group. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Convertible Bond in the principal amount of HK$68 million due in May 2016 with an interest rate per annum of 3% remains outstanding and without significant improvement on the Group’s business performance, it is not expected that the Convertible Bond can be repaid in full upon the date of maturity in May 2016.

As at 31 March 2014, the Group recorded audited net assets of approximately HK$178,000 with cash and cash equivalents of approximately HK$27.15 million, which is retained for future administrative expenses of the Group as it is not expected that the existing businesses of the Group would be able to generate significant positive cash inflow to the Group. Accordingly, the Group is in need of new capital for its continual developments.

iii) the market value of the Shares

The Group recorded turnover of approximately HK$0.82 million and HK$0.73 million and net loss after taxation of approximately HK$6.99 million and HK$16.86 million respectively for the year ended 31 March 2014 and 31 March 2013. The Group’s financial performance in the past was unsatisfactory. Since December 2013, the closing prices of the Shares have demonstrated a sliding trend.

Taking into account all these factors, and the alternative financing methods the Company had considered as set out in the Announcement, the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors having consulted Gram Capital) is of the view that the terms of the Rights Issue, including the Subscription Price and the subscription ratio, are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The deep discount to the recent closing price of the Shares represented by the Subscription Price is made with a view to encourage the Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue and maintain their shareholdings in the Company accordingly and take part in the future growth of the Company. In addition, as indicated to the Company during the negotiation of the Underwriting Agreement, given the abovementioned factors, a subscription price with deeper discount to the closing price of the Shares is necessary to induce the Underwriter to take up the underwriting commitment of the Underwritten Shares, which is an essential part of the Rights Issue.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Basis of provisional allotment

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 remittance for the Rights Shares being applied for. On the same basis, no fractional entitlements to the Rights Shares will arise under the Rights Issue.

Qualifying Shareholders

The Rights Issue is only available to the Qualifying Shareholders and will not be extended to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders. The Company will send (i) the Prospectus Documents to the Qualifying Shareholders and (ii) the Overseas Letter together with the Prospectus to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders for information only.

Based on the register of members of the Company on the Record Date, there was one Overseas Shareholder with registered address located in the United Kingdom.

The Company has complied with all necessary requirements specified in Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing Rules and has made enquiries with its legal advisers regarding the feasibility of extending the Rights Issue to the Overseas Shareholders.

The Company has been advised by its legal advisers on the English law that it is not necessary to file, register or record this prospectus in any public place or elsewhere in England, and that the PAL(s) and the EAF(s) may be sent to the Overseas Shareholder with registered address in the United Kingdom.

Based on the advice of the Company’s legal advisers on the English law, the Directors believe that the Prospectus Documents would not be required to be registered under the laws and regulations of the United Kingdom and may be despatched to the Overseas Shareholder with the registered address in the United Kingdom without any restrictions. In view of the above, the Directors have decided to extend the Rights Issue to such Overseas Shareholder with the registered address in the United Kingdom. Such Overseas Shareholder, together with the Shareholders with registered addressed in Hong Kong, are Qualifying Shareholders.

WARNING OF THE RISKS OF DEALING IN THE SHARES AND THE NIL-PAID RIGHTS SHARES

Dealings in the Rights Shares in the nil-paid form are expected to take place from Friday, 10 October 2014 to Friday, 17 October 2014 (both days inclusive). Shareholders and potential investors should note that dealing in the Shares and/or nil-paid Rights Shares will take place while the conditions to which the Underwriting Agreement is subject remain unfulfilled. If the conditions of the Underwriting Agreement are not fulfilled or the Underwriting Agreement is terminated by the Underwriter, the Rights Issue will not proceed.

Any dealings in the Shares from the date of the Announcement and up to 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, 28 October 2014, being the time and date by which all the conditions of the Rights Issue are to be fulfilled and when the right of the Underwriter to terminate the Underwriting Agreement is to lapse, and any dealings in the Rights Shares in their nil-paid form between Friday, 10 October 2014 and Friday, 17 October 2014, both days inclusive, are accordingly subject to the risk that the Rights Issue may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors should therefore exercise caution when dealing in the Shares or the Rights Shares in their nil-paid form and, if they are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their professional adviser(s).

REASONS FOR THE RIGHTS ISSUE AND THE USE OF PROCEEDS

The Group is principally engaged in the business of property development and investment.

Since the year ended 31 March 2010, sales of properties have been the major focus and the only source of revenue for the Group. However, due to corrections in the property market and tightened credit policy in the PRC over the past few years, it became challenging for the Group to identify suitable investment opportunities in the property market and thus the Group relied on selling existing properties on hand to derive its income. As illustrated in the 2014 annual report of the Company, as at 31 March 2014, after the Group sold all its car park units and certain developed commercial properties in the previous years, there only remained a gross floor area of approximately 7,845 square meters of completed commercial properties in Zouping, Shandong Province, the PRC, which was held by the Group. Taking into account of the above, the Board is of the view that there is imminent need for the Group to develop new business and has therefore been actively and cautiously exploring suitable investment opportunities.

– 20 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As disclosed in the announcements of the Company dated 26 February 2014, 23 May 2014 and 22 August 2014 respectively, the Company entered into the Framework Agreement in relation to the Proposed Acquisition. Set out below is the information on the Properties under the Proposed Acquisition:

Current rental
Address Gross Floor Area Current usage income monthly
No. 2010-2020, Approximately 15,000 Commercial Approximately
Chun Feng Road, square meters RMB650,000
Luohu District, Shenzhen,
Guangdong, PRC
(the “First Property”)
No. 2-16, Xiang Xi Road, Approximately 4,400 Commercial/ Approximately
Luohu District, Shenzhen, square meters Residential RMB300,000
Guangdong, PRC
(the “Second Property”)

The Properties are multi-function commercial/residential properties located in the Luohu District of Shenzhen which is a prosperous area and one of the most well developed districts in Shenzhen and the Proposed Acquisition is one of the investment opportunities reviewed by the Board with prime location and enormous potentials for investment.

According to the information as provided by the Vendor, the First Property comprises an 8-storey commercial building completed in 2003 with a total gross floor area of approximately 15,000 square meters and it also includes 62 open car parking spaces on the ground floor. The Second Property comprises a 6-storey commercial/residential building completed in 1991 with a gross floor area of approximately 4,400 square meters.

Based on the latest market statistics, the average rental income in such area for building with commercial usage could reach around RMB70 per square meters on average, while for building with residential usage could reach around RMB70 to RMB90 per square meters on average. As advised by the Vendor, the current rental income received from the Properties was below the market average and this is because some of the existing tenants have a long tenancy relationship with the Vendor and some units are for self-usage.

The preliminary valuation prepared by an independent valuer indicates that the Properties are valued at a total of approximately RMB400 million (equivalent to approximately HK$500 million at the exchange rate of RMB1: HK$1.25). The Company has been conducting a feasibility study on the redevelopment plan to rebuild/refurnish the Properties into scaled multi-function commercial/ residential properties, which is expected to substantially increase the value of the Properties in the future, for rental and/or sale purpose (the proportion of which will be determined by the then market conditions).

– 21 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

After the Proposed Acquisition is completed, the Company expects to obtain borrowings from banks/ financial institutions for the implementation of the re-development plan as mentioned above. However, in the event that the Company is unable to obtain the said borrowings, the re-development plan will be delayed and the Properties are expected to continue to generate stable rental income to the Group. The re-development plan will be implemented immediately after sufficient funding has been obtained by the Company.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company does not have sufficient resources to finance the payment of the Earnest Money of HK$22 million under the Framework Agreement and thus it is difficult to make any significant progress on the negotiations on the terms and conditions in relation to the Proposed Acquisition. Accordingly, the Company is in imminent need for new capital to carry on its business expansion and developments.

Fund raising methods comparison

Since the entering into of the Framework Agreement, the Company has attempted to seek for debt financing from both commercial banks and financial institutions. However, the Company was unable to obtain any debt financing at terms acceptable to the Company due to the facts that (i) the Group do not have any significant assets as collaterals; and (ii) the size of the Convertible Bond, which to be due in May 2016. Given that debt financing is not available to the Company, the Board has considered other fund raising methods available to the Group. Among different fund raising methods, the Directors have focused on evaluating the possibilities of carrying out fund raising through rights issue or open offer as they are relatively larger in scale as compared to placing of new shares in view of the recent market capitalization of the Company of approximately HK$104.01 million as at the Latest Practicable Date. In addition, rights issue or open offer are pre-emptive in nature, allowing Qualifying Shareholders to maintain their respective pro-rata shareholding through their participation and causes no interests burden to the Group.

In comparison between rights issue and open offer, the Rights Issue allows the Qualifying Shareholders who participate to (a) increase its interests in the shareholding of the Company by (i) acquiring additional rights entitlement in the open market (subject to the availability); and/or (ii) applying through excess applications for Rights Shares or (b) decreasing its interests in the shareholding of the Company by disposing their rights entitlements in the open market (subject to availability). As an open offer does not allow the trading of rights entitlements, the Rights Issue is preferred.

Benefits of the Rights Issue

The Rights Issue will allow the Company to strengthen its capital base and liquidity without incurring interest costs. The Rights Issue will also allow the Company to materially reduce its gearing ratio, thereby improving the financial health of the Group. Taking into account the capital needs of the Group, the benefits of the Rights Issue and the availability and comparison with other financing alternatives, the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors having consulted Gram Capital) is of the view that the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
