CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been established 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 of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

Pursuant to Rule 21.02(1) of the GEM Listing Rules, the securities to be issued on exercise of the warrants must not, when aggregated with all other equity securities which remain to be issued on exercise of any other subscription rights, if all such rights were immediately exercised, whether or not such exercise is permissible, exceed 20 per cent of the issued equity capital of the issuer at the time such warrants are issued. Options granted under share option schemes which comply with Chapter 23 of the GEM Listing Rules are excluded for the purpose of this limit.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Warrant Shares to be issued upon full exercise of the subscription rights attaching to the Bonus Warrants represent (i) approximately 18.28% of the issued share capital of the Company; (ii) approximately 9.55% of the then issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the Conversion Shares; and (iii) approximately 8.72% of the then issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares. Accordingly, the issue of the Bonus Warrants is in compliance with Rule 21.02(1) of the GEM Listing Rules. In addition, the Company confirms that it will take necessary steps to ensure the Warrant Shares to be issued will not exceed twenty per cent of the issued share capital at the time when the Bonus Warrants are issued.

Reasons for the issue of the Bonus Warrants

Anticipating the difficulties to be encountered by the Placing Agent in the Placing given the unsatisfactory financial performance of the Group over the years and the recent poor share price performance, the Board considers that the issue of the Bonus Warrants will increase the chance of success of the Placing. Further, since the Bonus Warrants will only be issued upon the exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Bonds, the Board considers that it will enhance such exercising of conversion rights and, as a result, the financial position of the Company could be strengthened as the Convertible Bonds would be converted into equity of the Company.

The Board considers that the issue of the Bonus Warrants will further strengthen the equity base of the Company while increasing the Company’s working capital if and when the subscription rights attaching to the Bonus Warrants are exercised. Considering the above, the Board is of the opinion that the issue of the Bonus Warrants is in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Use of proceeds

The gross and net proceeds from the issue of the Bonus Warrants, if fully placed, will be approximately HK$40 million out of which approximately HK$20 million is intended to be used for the general working capital of the Group and approximately HK$20 million is intended to be used for financing future investment opportunities respectively.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Subscription Price of the Bonus Warrants

The Subscription Price of HK$0.10 per Subscription Share represents:

  • (i) a discount of approximately 21.88% to the closing price of the Shares of HK$0.128 quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Date;

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 22.24% to the average closing prices of the Shares of HK$0.1286 quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Last Trading Date;

  • (iii) a premium of approximately 376% to the net asset value of approximately HK$0.021 per Share; and

  • (iv) a discount of approximately 44.75% to the closing price of HK$0.181 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date.

BASIS OF THE CONVERSION PRICE AND SUBSCRIPTION PRICE

The Conversion Price and Subscription Price were determined based on an arms’ length negotiation with the Placing Agent with reference to following:-

  • (i) the prevailing market price of the Shares, which was in a downward trend since November 2013;

  • (ii) the net asset value per Share of approximately HK$0.021, which represents a discount of approximately 83.59% to the closing price of the Shares of HK$0.128 quoted on Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Date and a discount of approximately 79% to the Conversion Price and Subscription Price; and

  • (iii) the continuous loss making track record for the past 5 consecutive financial years (the profit after taxation made in 2012 was mainly due to the profit on disposal of subsidiaries).

Given the significant size of the Placing (i.e. HK$200 million) as compared to the total market capitalization of the Company (i.e. approximately HK$280 million as at the date of the entering into of the Placing Agreement), the Board considers that point (ii) above shall be the most crucial factor in determining the Conversion Price and Subscription Price, and concludes that the initial Conversion Price and Subscription Price are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

The Group is principally engaged in the sale of biodegradable products and raw materials; and manufacturing and sale of biomass fuel.

Except for the Shares, none of the Company’s equity or debt securities are listed or proposed to be listed in any stock exchange.

REASONS FOR THE PLACING AND USE OF PROCEEDS

If the Convertible Bonds are fully placed, the maximum gross proceeds from the Placing will be approximately HK$200,000,000. The net proceeds from the Placing will amount to approximately HK$195,000,000, which is intended to be used for the following purposes:

  • (i) approximately HK$50 million for the expansion of production capacity of the biomass fuel project acquired by the Group in November 2013;

  • approximately HK$4 million for operational expenses;

  • approximately HK$12 million for the renovation of the factory;

  • approximately HK$34 million for the acquisition of machinery.

  • (ii) approximately HK$30 million for development of money lending business given that a money lender’s license in Hong Kong was obtained by a subsidiary of the Company, namely, Create Profit Enterprises Limited (“ Create Profit ”) on 15 September 2011. The Board sees vast business potential of Create Profit to expand its principal business activities owing to the strong demand of property mortgage in Hong Kong lending market and the diversified financial background of the members of the Board in the development and management of the lending business. In particular, the Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Chan Yin Tsung, of the Group has extensive experience in the financial industry for over 10 years and will be capable in growing the money lending business and managing the related risks. The net proceed of HK$30 million allocated to this segment is expected to be utilised in the following diversified areas so as to reduce the risks of concentration:

  • approximately HK$10 million for the property mortgage lending business;

  • approximately HK$10 million for the listed equity financing business;

  • approximately HK$10 million for the professional persons lending business.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (iii) approximately HK$70 million for future acquisitions (including but not limited to the announcement dated 15 May 2014 issued by the Company regarding the memorandum of understanding in respect of the possible acquisition (the “ Possible Acquisition ”) target company (the “ Target ”), which is principally engaged in research and development, manufacturing and selling of medical products in the PRC), as the Company intends to expand its business to, among others, further investment in the medical sector, by way of acquisition of and/or collaboration with (i) medical products manufacturer(s) and supplier(s) and (ii) medical products disturber(s). The acquisition of the 51% shareholding interest in the Target is currently estimated to be approximately HK$150 million, subject to negotiations. During the negotiation process shortly after signing the memorandum of understanding, the Company was given the understanding that the vendor was willing to accept the Company’s securities as a substantial form of consideration for the Possible Acquisition. However, given the weak share price performance of the Shares in recent months, the payment method has aroused intense discussion and dragged on the negotiations. Further, considering the limited liquidity position of the Group, the financial ability of the Group to support the Potential Acquisition on a continuous basis after the completion of acquisition has been put in doubt by the vendor even though neither the final consideration nor any needs for working capital support has been finally agreed. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company is still in the process of performing the due diligence and negotiating with the vendor on the structure, terms, payment method and consideration of the Potential Acquisition. The Board believes that, with a strong cash position to support the Potential Acquisition, the Company can negotiate better terms with the vendor. Accordingly, the Directors consider that the placing of the Convertible Bonds is an appropriate means under the current situation of the Company to raise capital. Further, the Board confirms that, if the Possible Acquisition materializes, the shortfall of any consideration will be satisfied by the Company by a combination of promissory notes, consideration shares and convertible bonds; and

  • (iv) the remaining balance of approximately HK$45 million for the general working capital of the Group for the coming two years.

The Directors consider that it is in the interest of the Company to identify investments which are less elastic to the global macro economy. Due to increasing health awareness/demand on medical products, the medical products continues to deepen its penetration into the daily lives and the value chains of different business sectors. As such, the business opportunities available in the medical products sector continue to broaden over times. By way of acquisition(s) and collaboration(s) referred to in paragraph (iii) above, it will have a potential for making attractive returns for the Shareholders as well as providing diversification of business risk to the existing businesses of the Group. The Group has been identifying and exploring possible investment opportunities. However, at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has not yet reached any decision regarding any

– 22 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

such investment opportunity. In case the potential acquisition of the Target could not materialise in the near future, the Company will continue to explore other business opportunities to diversify into other industries with good business potential and growth prospects.

The Directors consider that the Placing will provide (i) the Company with immediate capital to support the Company’s existing businesses and investment opportunities; and (ii) an opportunity for the Company, if the conversion rights attached to the Convertible Bonds are exercised, to enlarge and strengthen its capital base and also broaden its Shareholders base by the introduction of new investors. The Directors have considered other fund raising alternatives such as bank borrowing, rights issue and open offer. However, since bank borrowings may incur a higher interest rate as compared to the 1% interest rate of the Convertible Bonds and, after several recent discussions with certain underwriters, it has been difficult for the Company to procure an underwriter to underwrite any rights issue or open offer at a terms acceptable to the Company given (i) the unsatisfactory financial performance of the Group over the years, and (ii) the recent poor share price performance, the Directors consider that the placing of the Convertible Bonds is relatively simple and less time consuming and will not have an immediate dilution effect on the shareholding of the existing Shareholders, and are of the view that it is an appropriate fund raising method under the current situation of the Company.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Placing Agreement, the terms of the Convertible Bonds (together with the Conversion Price) and the terms of the Bonus Warrants (together with the Subscription Price) are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

The Board confirms that apart from the Potential Acquisition, there are no negotiations or agreements relating to any intended acquisitions which are discloseable under Chapters 19 to 20 of the GEM Listing Rules. If the Potential Acquisition is not materialized eventually, the Company intends to apply the unutilized amount of the Placing for other possible acquisition activities as identified by the Group from time to time and/or as the working capital for development of the money lending business of the Group. Should there be any changes to the utilization of proceeds of the Placing, the Company will publish an announcement to notify the Shareholders of such changes as soon as practicable.
