CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
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
PLACING OF CONVERTIBLE BONDS
On 12 December 2012 (after the trading hours of the Stock Exchange), the Company and the Placing Agent entered into the CB Placing Agreement, pursuant to which the Placing Agent agreed to procure, on a best effort basis, not less than six Placees, which will be professional, corporate, institutional and/or individual investors, who and whose ultimate beneficial owners shall be Independent Third Parties, to subscribe in cash for the Convertible Bonds of up to an aggregate principal amount of HK$30 million.
Assuming the Convertible Bonds are placed in full, the maximum gross proceeds from the Placing is HK$30 million and the maximum net proceeds from the Placing (after deducting related expenses) are estimated to be approximately HK$29.4 million. The net proceeds from the issue of the Convertible Bonds will be used to fund the acquisition of equity interests in potential business in the future. As at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the Possible Acquisition (as defined below), the Company has not identified any equity investment opportunities. In the event that any written agreement has been entered into in respect of any equity or equity-related investments, the Company will make necessary disclosure in compliance with the GEM Listing Rules.
THE CB PLACING AGREEMENT
Date: 12 December 2012 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange)
Parties: (1) Issuer: the Company
- (2) Placing agent: the Placing Agent
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, the Placing Agent and its ultimate beneficial owner(s) are Independent Third Parties.
Pursuant to the CB Placing agreement, the Company agreed to appoint the Placing Agent and the Placing Agent agreed to place, on a best effort basis, the Convertible Bonds of an aggregate principal amount of up to HK$30 million at the Issue Price to not less than six Placees, which will be professional, corporate, institutional and/or individual investors, who and whose ultimate beneficial owners shall be Independent Third Parties. Pursuant to the CB Placing agreement, the Placing Agent will not place to any Placee an amount of the Convertible Bonds which will entitle each holder of the Convertible Bonds and their respective associates to become a substantial shareholder of the Company upon full conversion of their respective Convertible Bonds.
In addition, it is not expected that the Subscriber or any of her associates will become a Placee under the Placing.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(i) the passing by the Shareholders at the EGM of an ordinary resolution of the Company approving the CB Placing Agreement, the issue of the Convertible Bonds and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including but not limited to the allotment and issue of up to 150,000,000 Shares falling to be issued on the exercise of the Conversion Rights;

The placing commission payable to the Placing Agent under the CB Placing Agreement is equal to 1.0% of the Issue Price multiplied by such principal amount of the Convertible Bonds successfully placed by the Placing Agent under the Placing.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Conversion Price
The initial Conversion Price of HK$0.20 per Conversion Share represents:
-
(i) a premium of approximately 5.26% over the closing price of HK$0.19 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 12 December 2012, being the date of the CB Placing Agreement;
-
(ii) a premium of 25% over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.16 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five trading days immediately prior to the date of the CB Placing Agreement;
-
(iii) a premium of approximately 25% over the net asset value per Share of approximately HK$0.16 as at 30 September 2012; and
-
(iv) a discount of 12.66% of the closing price of HK$0.229 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date.
The Conversion Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Placing Agent with reference to the prevailing market price of the Shares. Based on the above and the reasons as set out in the paragraph headed “Reasons for the Placing” below, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the initial Conversion Price and the terms of the CB Placing Agreement are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Conversion Shares
Based on the initial Conversion Price of HK$0.20 per Conversion Share, a maximum number of 150,000,000 Conversion Shares will be allotted and issued upon exercise of the Conversion Rights in full, which represent:
-
(i) approximately 15.01% of the existing issued share capital of the Company; and
-
(ii) approximately 13.05% of the issued share capital as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Conversion Shares.
The Conversion Shares, when allotted and issued, will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares in issue on the date of allotment and issue of the Conversion Shares. Holders of the Conversion Shares will be entitled to receive all future dividends and distributions declared, paid or made on or after the date of conversion of the Convertible Bonds.
Specific Mandate
The Conversion Shares will be issued under a Specific Mandate proposed to be sought from the Shareholders at the EGM.
11
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Application for listing
Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Conversion Shares. No application will be made for the listing of the Convertible Bonds.
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.
REASONS FOR THE PLACING
The Company is an investment holding company and the Group is principally engaged in food related business and mineral resource related business.
According to the latest unaudited management accounts of the Company as at 30 November 2012, the bank and cash balances and the borrowings of the Company are approximately HK$28 million and HK$nil respectively. The Board intends to apply approximately HK$7 million of its financial resources to carry out the business plan as set out in the section headed “Business Objective and Future Plans” in the prospectus of the Company dated 30 September 2010. The remaining balance of bank and cash is currently used as working capital of the Group. However, in the event of any investment opportunities arise, such financial resources will be utilised as consideration for such business investments. On 21 December 2012, the Company had also raised net proceeds of approximately HK$7.85 million by way of subscription of a total of 47,000,000 new Shares at the subscription price of HK$0.17 per Share. As disclosed in the Announcement, all the net proceeds of the Subscription will be applied for general working capital of the Company.
In view of recent economic growth and stock market performance, the Company intends to strengthen its financial position by entering into the CB Placing Agreement, which will enable the Company to expand its capital base for future investment opportunities in order to achieve long-term capital appreciation of its assets primarily through equity and equity-related investments.
Reference is also made to the Company’s announcements dated 25 May 2012 and 27 September 2012 and the Company’s circular dated 18 July 2012. Since late 2011, the Board has been proactively identifying other investment opportunities to diversify its existing businesses, such as mineral resource related business. In determining the investment opportunities in the mineral resource related business, the Board has considered the following factors:
-
the mineral resource related business, especially related to mining activity, is subject to extensive governmental regulatory in most countries. The procedures, measures, standards or qualifications to conduct business in such sector are clearly set out in the applicable laws and regulations. Therefore, the preliminary due diligence procedure in the regulatory framework in assessing the investment opportunities in the mineral resource area would be plain to conduct;
-
products from the mineral resource related business would be the commodities that usually have ready market. The Board considers that such standardized products would help them to assess on the potential of the investment opportunities with reference to the historical market prices of such products; and
12
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
- with reference to the merger and acquisition activities conducted by some of the listed companies in Hong Kong in recent years, the Board considers that the Group will be able to identify and employ the necessary management expertise in monitoring such mineral resource related business in Hong Kong and the PRC.
The Board considers that it will be appropriate to maintain adequate cash reserve to the Company by way of Placing in order to meet any future investment opportunities which may be similar to the investment size of the coal-related business (the “ Coal Business ”) acquired by the Company in September 2012. Regarding the Coal Business, to the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, the business operation of the Coal Business has been carried out in accordance with its original business plan as at the Latest Practicable Date. For details of the business operation of the Coal Business, please refer to the paragraph headed “Coal trading business of Hong Kong Company” as set out in the “Letter from the Board” in the circular of the Company dated 18 July 2012. Further, to the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, as at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) the management of the Coal Business has no intention to alter the business directions, capital requirement and/or financing of the Coal Business; (ii) the current financial resources of the Coal Business are sufficient for its current business operations; and (iii) no further funding requirement is needed to increase the trading capacity of the Coal Business. Further, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no plan for fund raising in order to finance the operation of the Coal Business or to acquire further interest in the Coal Business.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company is in negotiation with an Independent Third Party and is currently conducting a preliminary due diligence exercise in relation to the proposed acquisition of a magnetite sound/iron sand trading company (the “ Possible Acquisition ”). It is expected that the preliminary due diligence will be completed by the end of January 2013 and subject to the findings of the due diligence exercise, it is expected that a written agreement in relation to the Possible Acquisition will be entered into between the parties shortly thereafter. To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, the suppliers of the Target Company are mining companies located in the Philippines and the customer of the Target Company is a stated-owned enterprise in the PRC. Given the existing contract size of the trading company with its suppliers and customers, it is expected that the investment size will be no less than HK$50 million, and thus, the present financial resources of the Company may not be sufficient to conduct a material investment in such trading company. In this regard, taking into consideration the current favourable equity market condition in Hong Kong, the Board considers that the Placing would enable the Group to maintain sufficient cash reserve in order to conduct the investment readily when the Possible Acquisition materializes.
The Board has also considered other fund raising alternatives namely, rights issue or open offer. However, the time and cost to be involved for a rights issue is likely to be higher than the Placing. Moreover, considering the Convertible Bonds are interest free and that there is no immediate dilution effect of the Placing and the premium on the Conversion Price, the Board is therefore of the opinion that the Placing represents a fair and reasonable equity fund raising arrangement. Furthermore, taking into consideration of the current favourable equity market condition in Hong Kong and the relatively shorter time frame required, the Directors consider that the Placing is the most appropriate arrangement as compared to other fund raising methods.
13
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Board also considers that the Placing represents an opportunity for the Company to broaden its shareholder base thereby increasing the liquidity of the Shares. As such, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the CB Placing Agreement is entered into upon normal commercial terms following arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Placing Agent and that the terms of the CB Placing Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds of approximately HK$29.4 million from the issue of the Convertible Bonds will be used to fund the acquisition of equity interests in potential business in the future which may include but not limited to the Possible Acquisition. However, as at the Latest Practicable Date, no written agreement has been entered into in respect of the Possible Acquisition or any equity or equity-related investments. The Board wishes to emphasize that the Possible Acquisition is still in a preliminary negotiation stage and may or may not proceed. If the Possible Acquisition materializes, it may constitute a notifiable transaction on the part of the Company under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules. Shareholders and potential investors are urged to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company. Further announcement(s) in respect of the Possible Acquisition or any equity investment will be made by the Company in compliance with the GEM Listing Rules as and when appropriate.
