LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Subscription Shares

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Subscriber has conditionally agreed to subscribe for, and GLCH has conditionally agreed to allot and issue, 1,000,000,000 Subscription Shares at a subscription price of HK$0.08 per Subscription Share.

The aggregate of 1,000,000,000 Subscription Shares, represent (i) approximately 91.84% of the existing issued share capital of GLCH as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (ii) approximately 47.87% of the issued share capital of GLCH as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares (assuming none of the outstanding GLCH Warrants have been exercised).

The Subscription Shares, when allotted and issued, will rank equally in all respects with each other and the GLCH Shares in issue on the date of allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares, including the right to receive all future dividends and distributions which may be declared, made or paid by GLCH on or after the date of allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares.

The Subscription Shares will be allotted and issued pursuant to a specific mandate to be sought from the GLCH Independent Shareholders at the GLCH EGM.

Application will be made by GLCH to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subscription Shares.

There is no restrictions on subsequent sale of the Subscription Shares.

Subscription Price

The gross amount of the Subscription is HK$80,000,000, equivalent to HK$0.08 per Subscription Share, which was determined after arm’s length negotiations between GLCH and the Subscriber and with reference to, among other things, (i) the price performance of the GLCH Shares prior to the Last Trading Day; (ii) the latest published consolidated net asset value per GLCH Share; and (iii) the financial performance of GLCH Group. Despite the recent financial performance of GLCH Group has been deteriorating, after taking into account (i) the potential synergy between GLCH and the Company upon completion of the Subscription and the Offer and the promising prospect and growth potential of the "Smart City" business of GLCH Group as further discussed in the section headed "Reasons for and Benefits of the Subscription and the Offer"; (ii) the controlling stake in GLCH acquired by the Company upon completion of the Subscription and the Offer; and (iii) the interest of both the Shareholders and the independent shareholders of GLCH, the Directors are of the view that the Subscription Price, which represents a substantial discount to the closing prices of GLCH Shares on the Last Trading Day and a slight premium over the latest published consolidated net asset value per GLCH Share, is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Subscriber intends to finance the total consideration for the Subscription by internal resources.

  • (i) the Listing Committee of GEM granting listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subscription Shares;

Upon completion of the Subscription and the Offer, GLCH will become a subsidiary of the Company and the financial results of the GLCH Group will be consolidated into the financial statements of the Company.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION AND THE OFFER

As disclosed in the section headed “Information on GLCH Group” above, GLCH has recorded loss since the financial year ended 31 March 2014. For the nine months ended 31 December 2015, GLCH Group recorded loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders of GLCH of approximately HK$13.2 million, which is more than three times of the loss for the corresponding period in 2014. For the six months ended 30 September 2015, GLCH had net cash used in operating activities of approximately HK$5.1 million. The cash and bank balances of GLCH Group as at 30 September 2015 were approximately HK$12.6 million.

According to the interim report of GLCH for the six months ended 30 September 2015, GLCH Group recorded decline in revenue by approximately 53% as compared with the corresponding period in 2014 due to the postponed delivery of equipment under the passenger information system supply contracts signed in the previous two years for the Shenzhen project, the Hangzhou project and the Ankara project in Turkey due to reasons of the project owners. Besides, train information systems under newly signed subway

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

projects in cities including Guangzhou and Wuhan were pending delivery. In addition, GLCH Group experienced a decrease in sales prices of the products due to intense market competition. As the major costs of GLCH Group, including but not limited to research and development expenses and production costs, are relatively fixed expenses in nature, the decrease in sales prices of the products resulted in gross loss and net loss for the period. At the same time, the core business of GLCH Group, namely the train information system solutions for urban rail transit, had the chronic problem of a substantial amount of past-due receivables and relevant expenses for the provision of warranty regarding post-sales services for an extended period of time, which had continuously imposed pressure to the operating cashflow of GLCH. To the best knowledge of the directors of GLCH Group, it is an industry norm to have past-due receivables. It is not uncommon for customers in the industry, principally the train manufacturers in the PRC, to settle the receivables beyond the credit period. In view of this, GLCH has maintained more frequent communications with the customers to speed up the receivables collection and the situation has been gradually improving since the third quarter of the financial year ending 31 March 2016. According to the third quarterly report of GLCH for the nine months ended 31 December 2015, the revenue of GLCH Group for the three months ended 31 December 2015 has been improved due to increased sales of replacement items and enhancement in the speed of delivering passenger information system for Hangzhou Line 2, Shenzhen Line 1, Dongguan Line 2, Fuzhou Line and Guangzhou Line 7. Despite the improvement in sales, GLCH Group still recorded gross loss for the three months ended 31 December 2015 as the low price of goods delivered was unable to offset the research and development expenses and production costs incurred.

The Company, the holding company of the Offeror, is interested in 128,000,000 GLCH Shares, representing approximately 11.76% of the entire issued share capital of GLCH as at the Latest Practicable Date. As stated in the announcement of the Company dated 23 December 2014, the Company entered into the Assignment with GLCH on 23 December 2014, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to assign the Application Rights to GLCH and its subsidiaries throughout the Territory for a consideration of HK$32,000,000, which has been satisfied by GLCH by the allotment and issue of 128,000,000 GLCH Shares currently held by the Company. Pursuant to the Assignment, the Company is the proprietor of the CA-SIM and has agreed to assign to GLCH and its subsidiaries its sole and exclusive right for certain applications of the CA-SIM throughout the Territory on the terms and conditions set out in the Assignment. As stated in the interim report of GLCH for the six months ended 30 September 2015, GLCH Group continued to use the CA-SIM technology patents to collaborate with the local government in carrying out information management in the Territory regarding the real-name system for temporary migrant population. During the six months ended 30 September 2015, GLCH Group undertook substantive work in relation to the planning towards a “Smart City” by the local government and information collection, management, services and future long-term operation and maintenance of the project. In order to achieve full range adaptability and scalability in the application of the system, GLCH has set up the system and the terminals, network and other components innovatively based on government requirements by paying close attention to the actual circumstances of using the system, the outcome of which has satisfied the requirements of all parties. As stated in the third quarterly report of GLCH for the nine months ended 31 December 2015, GLCH Group has delivered the mobile online apps and value-added services to some of the target users during the three months ended 31 December 2015 and it is expected that the outstanding application experience will acquire more users.

Since the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the PRC published the Notice of Developing National Smart City Pilots in December 2012, there have been 290 national “Smart City” pilots. In 2015, the PRC government has introduced a number of measures, including Guidance Letter to “Internet Plus” Development, “Made-in-China

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2025”, Platform to Promote Development of Big Data, Promoting Innovative Development of Cloud Computing, Green Data Center Pilots, etc. Besides, during the period of 13th Five-Year Planning (2016-2020), the economic development of the PRC is expected to be in “new normal” pattern and is exploring new dynamics. Driven by the implementation of these measures, “Smart City” is the best combination of new urbanization and information technology, and will support the local governments to accelerate technology innovation, transform the development model and promote optimization and upgrading of economy structure. In 2015, the National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC, the Ministry of Finance of the PRC and local governments cooperatively introduced relevant policies to build the Public-Private-Partnership (“ PPP ”) model as an important investment and financing model to construct “Smart Cities”. In December 2015, the investment amount of demonstrated and recommended PPP projects nationwide has reached approximately RMB4.95 trillion. Therefore, there is ample room for growth and opportunities for the “Smart City” business of GLCH Group.

In view of the above, it is the intention of the Offeror, together with the Company, to further increase its shareholding in GLCH by acquiring majority voting rights in GLCH upon Completion, being not less than 51% of the enlarged issued share capital of GLCH, through the Subscription as (i) the Offeror considers it is more effective for it to push forward and execute business plans and strategies to improve and develop the existing businesses of GLCH, in particular the development of the “Smart City” by using the CA-SIM technology assigned by the Company; and (ii) the Subscription will provide immediate cash for GLCH to improve its liquidity and financial position, in particular, the working capital and cash flow position of GLCH Group.

Taking into account that (i) the Company will acquire absolute control in GLCH upon Completion which facilitates the Company to push forward and execute business plans and strategies of GLCH; (ii) the Company can leverage its knowledge on CA-SIM technology to further improve and develop the “Smart City” business of GLCH Group with promising prospect and growth potential as discussed above; and (iii) the Subscription Price represents discount to the prevailing market price of the GLCH Shares, the Board is of the view that the terms of the Subscription Agreement are fair and reasonable and are on normal commercial terms and that the Subscription and the Offer are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

OFFEROR’S INTENTION ON GLCH GROUP

It is the intention of the Offeror to continue with the existing principal businesses of GLCH Group. The Offeror will conduct a more detailed review on the operations of GLCH Group with a view to formulate a suitable business strategy for GLCH and will explore other business opportunities and consider whether any assets and/or business acquisitions by GLCH Group will be appropriate in order to enhance its growth. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Offeror has no intention or concrete plans for any acquisition or disposal of assets and/or business by GLCH Group and has no intention to (i) discontinue the employment of any employees of GLCH Group (save for a change in the composition of the GLCH Board as discussed below); (ii) redeploy the fixed assets of GLCH Group other than those in its ordinary and usual course of business; or (iii) introduce any major changes in the existing operations and business of GLCH.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the unaudited pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the directors in the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

  • The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and

  • The unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Enlarged Group

  1. The balances are extracted from the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2015 set out in the Company’s published interim report for the six months ended 30 June 2015.

  2. The balances are extracted from the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Target Group as at 30 September 2015 set out in the Company’s published interim report for the six months ended 30 September 2015.

  3. The identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Group acquired by the Group will be accounted for in the consolidated financial statements of the Enlarged Group at fair value under acquisition accounting in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard 3 (Revised) “Business Combinations” (“ IFRS 3 ”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

For the purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the allocation of the purchase price is determined based on the Directors’ estimates of the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Group as at 30 September 2015, and it is assumed that the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Group approximate to their carrying amounts as at 30 June 2015. The consideration of the Subscription Shares is assumed to be the fair value as if the Subscription had been completed on 30 June 2015.

Upon the completion of the Subscription, the Group will be required to make an unconditional mandatory cash general offer to acquire all the issued shares of the Target Group (other than those already owned or agreed to be acquired by the Group and parties acting in concert with it) pursuant to Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code (the “ Offer ”). 960,807,500 shares of the Target Group will be subject to the Offer (the “ Offer Shares ”) and total consideration would be approximately HK$76,865,000 on the basis of full acceptances of the Offer. The existing shareholders of the Target Company may or may not accept the Offer.

Assuming the completion of the Subscription and the Offer had taken place as at 30 June 2015 and all existing shareholders of the Target Group had accepted the Offer, inclusive of the 11.76% interest originally held by the Group as an available-for-sale asset and valued at HK$57,600,000 as at that date and the completion of the Subscription and the Offer, the Group would be interested in a total of 2,088,807,500 ordinary shares of the Target Group, representing 100% of the issued share capital of the Target Group. Goodwill arising from the Subscription and the Offer would be as follows:

Goodwill arising from the Subscription and the Offer:
Cash consideration to acquire
– Subscription Shares
– Offer Shares
128,000,000 shares of the Target Group originally held by the Group
Less: fair value of the identifiable net assets of the Target Group

APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

Assuming the completion of the Subscription and the Offer had taken place as at 30 June 2015 and no existing shareholders of the Target Group had accepted the Offer, inclusive of the 11.76% interest originally held by the Group as an available-for-sale asset and valued at HK$57,600,000 as at that date and the completion of the Subscription and the Offer, the Group would be interested in a total of 1,128,000,000 ordinary shares of the Target Group, representing approximately 54.00% of the issued share capital of the Target Group. Goodwill arising from the Subscription would be as follows:

Goodwill arising from the Subscription:
Cash consideration to acquire

When preparing the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the Directors made preliminary assessment with reference to International Accounting Standard 36 “Impairment of Assets” issued by the International Accounting Standards Board as to whether there is any impairment of goodwill arising from the completion of the Subscription and the Offer. Based on such assessment, the Directors did not identify any such impairment. Such goodwill arising from the Subscription and the Offer represents the following benefits and synergy on the Enlarged Group. Leveraging on the Target Group’s previous successful experience on the implementation of the “access” application in certain housing estates in Panyu Region, the Group would be able to enhance its development of the mobile payment technology and implement such technologies in other applications in Panyu region. In addition, through initiatives such as collaboration with the local government, such additional applications would enable the Enlarged Group to establish systems for the purposes of information collection, management, services, thereby pushing forward and executing its business plan on “Smart City” projects in other cities in the PRC.

Goodwill arising from the completion of the Subscription and the Offer that will be initially recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements will be determined in accordance with IFRS 3 based on the fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities at the date of completion. The Directors will follow the Group’s accounting policies in respect of assets impairment assessment, including the assessment of the impairment of goodwill arising from the completion of the Subscription and the Offer when preparing the Group’s consolidated financial statements in the future.

  1. The adjustment represents the estimated transaction costs of approximately HK$5,000,000 which are mainly professional fees payable by the Group in connection with the transaction.

  2. Other than the above adjustments, no adjustments have been made to the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of the Enlarged Group to reflect any trading results or other transactions of the Group entered into subsequent to 30 June 2015 and of the Target Group entered into subsequent to 30 September 2015.

3. COMPETING INTERESTS

Save as disclosed below, as at the Latest Practicable Date, so far as the Directors were aware, none of the Directors nor their respective associates is considered to have interests in a business that competes or is likely to compete, either directly or indirectly, with the businesses of the Enlarged Group other than those businesses where the Directors have been appointed or were appointed as directors to represent the interests of the Company and/or the Enlarged Group.

Directors’ interest in competing business

In September 2003, Mr. Li Kin Shing, an executive Director and chairman of the Company, acquired 1,150,000 shares in PacificNet Inc. (“ PacificNet ”). PacificNet is a company incorporated in the State of Delaware and listed on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange in the US till August 2012. Based on the last filed quarterly report of PacificNet for the nine months ended 30 September 2008, the shares acquired by Mr. Li Kin Shing represented approximately 7.21% shareholding in PacificNet as of 30 September 2008. According to its financial reports, PacificNet is engaged in the business of providing CRM and outsourcing services, telecommunications value-added services, telecommunications and gaming products and services in Asia. The CRM and outsourcing services provided by PacificNet include business process outsourcing such as CRM centers, CRM and telemarketing services, and IT outsourcing services including software programming and development services. In April 2008, PacificNet consummated the sale of its subsidiary, PacificNet Epro Holdings Limited, which is primarily engaged in the business of providing call centre telecom and CRM services as well as other business outsourcing services in China. However, the Directors consider that it is uncertain as to whether or not PacificNet will continue to develop and/or operate CRM outsourcing services. Accordingly, the Directors are of the view that there is a potential risk that services provided by PacificNet may compete with the services provided by the Group.

– IV-3 –

APPENDIX IV

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Directors confirm that the Group had not experienced any notable customer loss in the past as a result of competition from PacificNet and the Group is capable of carrying on its business independently of and at arm’s length from the business of PacificNet as (i) Mr. Li Kin Shing is only an investor in PacificNet and he has no management role or duty in PacificNet; (ii) to the best knowledge of the Directors, all the directors and senior management of PacificNet are independent of and not connected with any Directors, chief executive and substantial shareholders (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and their respective associates and the Board operates independently from the board of directors of PacificNet; and (iii) the Group is not operationally or financially dependent on PacificNet. The Directors confirm that Mr. Li Kin Shing has no absolute right to appoint a director in PacificNet. As Mr. Li Kin Shing holds no board representation or management position and only holds a 7.21% minority interest in PacificNet, it is highly unlikely that Mr. Li Kin Shing’s interest in PacificNet would influence the decision-making of the board of directors or management of PacificNet. As such, the Directors are of the view that the Group’s business will not be materially and adversely impacted as a result of Mr. Li Kin Shing’s shareholding interest in PacificNet.

Mr. Li Kin Shing has excluded his interests in PacificNet from the Group since:

  1. the Group is a CRM outsourcing service provider whereas PacificNet is also engaged in the business of providing telecommunications value-added services, telecommunications and gaming products and services as well as IT outsourcing services;

  2. the Group focuses on the Hong Kong, Macau and the PRC markets whereas PacificNet targets customers in the whole Asian market; and

  3. given that Mr. Li Kin Shing only holds approximately 7.21% minority interest without any board representation or management position in PacificNet, injection of his interest in PacificNet into the Group does not provide a material benefit to the Group as a whole.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Li Kin Shing confirmed that he had no intention to inject his interest in PacificNet into the Group and he had no intention to increase his shareholding in PacificNet.

Ever Prosper, Mr. Li Kin Shing, Ms. Kwok King Wa and Ms. Li Yin (the “ Covenantors ”) executed a deed of noncompetition undertaking in favour of the Company on 10 October 2007 pursuant to which the Covenantors have undertaken to the Company that in the event the Covenantors were given any business opportunity that is or may involve direct or indirect competition with the business of the Group, the Covenantors shall assist the Company in obtaining such business opportunities in the terms being offered to the Covenantors, or more favourable terms being acceptable to the Company provided that the Covenantors shall not proceed with such opportunity should the Company decline to accept such offer.
