PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION; CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE AND NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The Company has announced on 27 May 2011 the proposed Share Consolidation and change in board lot size.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

Share Consolidation

The Directors propose to implement the Share Consolidation on the basis that every ten (10) issued and unissued Shares of HK$0.001 each in the share capital of the Company will be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of HK$0.01 each in the issued share capital of the Company. Fractional Consolidated Shares will be disregarded and not issued to the Shareholders but all such fractional Consolidated Shares will be aggregated and, if possible, sold for the benefit of the Company. Fractional Consolidated Shares will only arise in respect of the entire shareholding of a holder of the Shares regardless of the number of share certificates held by such holder.

Effects of the Share Consolidation

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorized share capital of the Company is HK$1,000,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.001 each, of which 3,147,090,543 Shares have been allotted and issued as fully paid or credited as fully paid. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, on the basis that the Company does not allot and issue any further Shares prior thereto, the authorized share capital of the Company shall remain at HK$1,000,000,000 divided into 100,000,000,000 Consolidated Shares of HK$0.01 each, of which 314,709,054 Consolidated Shares will be in issue.

The Consolidated Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other in accordance with the Company’s memorandum of association and bye-laws. Other than the expenses, including professional fees and printing charges, to be incurred in relation to the Share Consolidation, the implementation thereof will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the interests or rights of the Shareholders, save for any fractional Consolidated Shares to which Shareholders may be entitled.

Application for listing of Consolidated Shares

An application will be made to the Stock Exchange for granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation and all necessary arrangements will be made for the Consolidated Shares to be admitted into the CCASS established and operated by HKSCC.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Subject to the granting of, the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange or, under contingent situation, 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.

None of the securities of the Company is listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange and no such listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought.

Conditions of the Share Consolidation

The Share Consolidation will be completed upon fulfilling all the following conditions:

  1. the passing of the necessary ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the SGM to approve the Share Consolidation; and

  2. the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares as a result of the Share Consolidation.

Change in board lot size

The Board also proposes to change the board lot size for trading in the shares of the Company from 20,000 Shares to 10,000 Consolidated Shares after the Share Consolidation becoming effective. Based on the price of the Shares of HK$0.037 per Share as at the Latest Practicable Date as quoted from the Stock Exchange, the theoretical board lot value of the Shares (assuming the Share Consolidation is completed) will be increased from HK$740 to HK$3,700 after the change in board lot size.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

Pursuant to Rule 13.64 of the Listing Rules, where the market price of the securities of the issuer approaches the extremities of HK$0.01 or HK$9,995.00, the Stock Exchange reserves the right to require the issuer either to change the trading method or proceed with a consolidation or splitting of securities. Recently, the price of the Shares has approached the extremities of HK$0.01 and after considering the possibilities of any future equity fund raising activities for the Company to finance the remaining consideration payable for the proposed acquisition of the Company as announced on 16 May 2011 (the “ Recycling Acquisition ”), the Board is of the opinion that the Share Consolidation would bring about a corresponding increase in the trading price of the Consolidated Shares and in compliance with Rule 13.64 of the Listing Rules. It is also expected that the change in board lot size shall increase the trading amount of each board lot. As a result, the Share Consolidation and change in board lot size would enable the Company to comply with the trading requirements of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Board is of the view that the Share Consolidation and change in board lot size are in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

POSSIBLE FUTURE FUND RAISING PLAN

The Company considers that it is necessary to assess any future fund raising opportunities (including both equity and debt fund raising) with financial institutions from time to time to fulfill the financial needs of the Group. The Directors view a healthy cash position is important for the future development of the businesses of the Group.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors confirmed that no formal discussion on a concrete fund raising plan and timetable has been carried out with any financial institutions, however, the Company has maintained a good relationship with the past underwriters and placing agents of the Company. The Company will take a prudent approach to raise sufficient cash for the future development of the Group in the event that any fund raising opportunities arise.

Under the existing market situation, the Board will use their best endeavor to raise sufficient fund for the Group. When determining which financing methods can be adopted, the Board will consider, among other things, the following factors:

(i) Time

Upon identifying suitable placing agent and investors, issue of new shares under general mandate will be the fastest way to raise fund and is the most suitable for immediate financial needs. Other methods such as issue of new shares under specific mandate, rights issue and open offer will take longer completion time and are subject to higher market uncertainty.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(ii) Fund raising size

Issue of new shares under general mandate is subject to the limitation in number of shares to be issued and the issue price under the Listing Rules. Other methods such as issue of new shares under specific mandate, rights issue and open offer will provide greater flexibility in the fund raising size and determination on the issue terms.

(iii) Cost

Given that the fund raising size under issue of new shares under specific mandate, rights issue and open offer are larger, the relevant cost to the Company will be higher. When the Board negotiates with the placing agent/underwriter (as the case may be) on the commission rate, both parties will consider, among other things, the market sentiment, the availability of potential investors and the issue terms.

The Board will consider every possible fund raising method which is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Based on the financing methods currently available to the Group as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company is of the view that the possible utilizing of the general mandate granted to the Company on 27 April 2011 to issue 629,418,108 new Shares (the “ General Mandate ”), representing approximately 20% of the issued share capital of the Company is the most feasible method available to the Company. Based on the closing price of the Shares of HK$0.037 as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company could raise around HK$23.29 million by fully utilizing the General Mandate, subject to the then negotiations with the placing agent (including but not limited to (i) the then market sentiment; (ii) the size of the fund raising activities; (iii) the pricing of the new shares). In the event that the negotiation between the Company and the underwriters on the terms of rights issue/open offer exercises (which further discussed in the latter section of this letter) is not successful due to number of factors, which may include (i) the size of the fund raising; (ii) the then market sentiment; (iii) the reasons for the rights issue/open offer; and (iv) underwriting commission, the Company will prefer fund raising exercises in the form of placement. In the event that the Company utilize the General Mandate, the proceeds from the said fund raising will either be used to finance the remaining consideration for the Recycling Acquisition (mainly HK$310 million payable to the vendors for the Recycling Acquisition within 12 months after the completion of the Recycling Acquisition) and/or other acquisition opportunities to be identified by the Group as the Company has from time to time approached by investors for potential investment projects. The Company will also consider other equity fund raising methods such as issue of convertible notes, issue of warrants, issue of new shares under specific mandate and rights issue/open offer. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors expect to utilize the General Mandate and then followed up

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

a rights issue/open offer exercise to fulfill the future financing needs of the Company (including the remaining consideration for the Recycling Acquisition) as the proceeds from the utilization of the General Mandate (i.e. around HK$23.29 million) may not be able to fulfill the future financing needs of the Company. As such, the Directors consider a rights issue/open offer exercise is likely to be conducted to further strengthen the financial resources of the Company in the future. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors confirmed that no concrete discussion has been made with the underwriters and the placing agents and such negotiation will involve the factors as disclosed abovementioned.

In view of that additional time is required for the completion of a Share Consolidation, the Company considers that the proposed Share Consolidation should be conducted as soon as practicable to avoid any undue delay for any equity fund raising opportunities and the Share Consolidation will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the interests or rights of the Shareholders, save for any fractional Consolidated Shares to which Shareholders may be entitled.

Subsequent to approving the Share Consolidation, the Company may conduct equity fund raising in the future, no concrete plan has been formulated yet. In the event that an equity fund raising is carried out, it is likely to be a placing of new shares under General Mandate and set out below is the potential dilution effects to the existing public Shareholders as a result of the said placing and the scenario in which assuming the Recycling Acquisition is completed and allotment of the maximum number of conversion shares upon full conversion of the convertible notes at the initial conversion price.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Note: The convertible notes is subject to the following conversion restrictions and may not be converted to the extent that, following such conversion, (i) the Company will be in breach of the minimum public shareholding requirement stipulated under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules or other relevant requirements under the Listing Rules; (ii) holder(s) of the convertible notes and any parties acting in concert with it/them will become obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of The Codes on Takeovers and Mergers and Share Repurchases of the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong; or (iii) holder(s) of the convertible notes and any parties acting in concert with it/them will hold 20% or more of the issued share capital of the Company upon the then conversion (the “ Conversion Restrictions ”).

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no outstanding convertible securities, options or warrants in issue which confer any right to subscribe for, convert or exchange into Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

It should be noted that no formal discussion on a concrete fund raising plan and timetable has been carried out with financial institutions as the Recycling Acquisition has not yet completed. However, the Company is in negotiations with the vendors to reduce the portion of HK$310 million payable to the vendors within 12 months after completion of the Recycling Acquisition and to increase the portion of the convertible notes payable to the vendors. As the convertible notes of the Recycling Acquisition shall be mandatory converted upon its maturity under the terms of the sale and purchase agreement and the terms of the convertible notes regarding the Recycling Acquisition (the relevant conversion of the convertible notes is subject to the Conversion Restrictions and there is a situation that the convertible notes may not be fully converted upon its maturity), further details of the Recycling Acquisition (together with the terms of the convertible notes) has been set out in the announcement of the Company dated 16 May 2011 regarding Recycling Acquisition, such arrangement could reduce the potential financial burden caused to the Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company and the vendors are still in negotiations, a supplemental agreement will be entered and further announcement will be made when the negotiation is finalized.

To satisfy the remaining consideration of HK$30 million in cash on or before completion of the Recycling Acquisition and HK$310 million either in cash or by means of promissory note(s) payable within 12 months after completion of the Recycling Acquisition, the Company will consider other equity financing methods, including but not limited to the issue of convertible notes, issue of warrants, issue of new shares under specific mandate and rights issue/open offer. Currently, it is the intention of the Company to settle the remaining consideration of the Recycling Acquisition through pro-rata equity financing method such as rights issue/open offer as it provides opportunity to each Shareholder to participate the future potential growth of the Company. The Company will from time to time approach the potential underwriters to negotiate on the terms and conditions of such financing method. The negotiations will be commenced after the completion of the Recycling Acquisition and the Shareholders should be reminded that a rights issue/open offer is subject to, among other things, (i) the negotiation between the Company and the underwriters; (ii) the completion of the Recycling Acquisition; and (iii) the then financial position of the Company, such rights issue/open offer may or may not proceed. In the event that the Company is unable to finalize the terms on the potential rights issue/open offer exercises, the Company will seek other equity or debt financing method for the benefits of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the needs for possible fund raising activities to be conducted after the proposed Share Consolidation and the respective potential dilution effects to the existing public Shareholders, the Directors are of the opinion that the proposed Share Consolidation is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and recommend you to vote in favour of the relevant resolution to be proposed at the SGM.

Subsequent to approving the Share Consolidation, the Company may conduct further equity fund raising as details in this letter. Shareholders should note the risk of the potential dilution effect which may be resulted from the possible further equity fund raising.

For easy illustrative purpose only, assuming a Shareholder owned 1,000,000 shares of the Company as at the date of the CB Placing (the “ Original Shares ”), representing approximately 0.16% of the then issued share capital of the Company and after the full conversion of the convertible bonds under the CB Placing, the Original Shares would be diluted from approximately 0.16% to approximately 0.0729% of the then issued share capital of the Company. In the event that such Shareholder did not participate the Rights Issue and the shareholding of such Shareholder would be further diluted from approximately 0.0729% to approximately 0.0019% of the then issued share capital of the Company.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules on the Stock Exchange for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.
