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 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

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The Company proposes to implement the Share Consolidation pursuant to which every ten (10) issued and unissued Shares of HK$0.1 each be consolidated into one Consolidated Share of HK$1.0 each.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the share capital of the Company consists of 986,745,656 Shares in issue and the aggregate nominal value of the issued share capital of the Company is approximately HK$98.67 million.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has the outstanding convertible bonds due 1 April 2016 in the total outstanding principal amount of HK$10,000,000 which entitle the holders to subscribe an aggregate of 28,571,428 Shares upon exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Bonds. In addition, the Company has 6,770,000 granted and outstanding share options with exercisable period ended 3 September 2025 under the Share Option Scheme to subscribe for 6,770,000 new shares.

Save for disclosed in the aforementioned, there are no options, warrants or other securities convertible into or giving rights to subscribe for Shares or Consolidated Shares.

CONDITIONS OF THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The Share Consolidation is conditional upon:

  • (i) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Share Consolidation at the EGM to be convened by the Company; and

  • (ii) the Listing Division of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue arising from the Share Consolidation.

Assuming the above conditions are fulfilled, it is expected that the Share Consolidation will become effective on the next Business Day following the date on which the relevant resolution approving the Share Consolidation is passed.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

EFFECT ON THE SHARE CAPITAL STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO AND AFTER SHARE CONSOLIDATION

Assuming there will be no change in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date on which the Share Consolidation becomes effective, the share capital structure of the Company will be as follows:

Prior to the Share Immediately following the
Consolidation becoming Share Consolidation
effective becoming effective
Nominal value of each HK$0.1 HK$1.0
Share/Consolidated
Share
Number of authorized 2,000,000,000 200,000,000
shares/Consolidated
Shares
Authorized share capital HK$200,000,000 HK$200,000,000
Number of Shares/ 986,745,656 98,674,565
Consolidated Shares in
issue
Issued and fully-paid share HK$98,674,565.60 HK$98,674,565.60
capital

The size of each board lot of the Consolidated Shares will remain as that of the Shares, being 20,000 Consolidated Shares per board lot.

Other than the relevant expenses incurred, the implementation of the Share Consolidation will have no effect on the consolidated net asset value of the Group, nor will it alter the underlying assets, business, operations, management or financial position of the Company or the interests of the Shareholders as a whole. The Board believes that the Share Consolidation will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group and that on the date the Share Consolidation is to be effected, there are no reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the Share Consolidation would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due. The Share Consolidation will not involve any diminution of any liability in respect of any unpaid capital of the Company or repayment to the Shareholders of any unpaid capital of the Company nor will it result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.

STATUS OF THE CONSOLIDATED SHARES

The Consolidated Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects with each other and the Share Consolidation will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

No fractional Consolidated Shares will be issued by the Company. Any fractional entitlements of the Consolidated Shares will be aggregated and sold for the benefit of the Company.

REASONS FOR THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The Share Consolidation will increase the nominal value of the Shares. It is expected that the Share Consolidation would bring about corresponding upward adjustments in the trading price of the Consolidated Shares (i.e. based on the closing price of HK$0.076 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date, the trading price of the Consolidated Shares will be HK$0.76 per Consolidated Share on the Stock Exchange. The Board therefore considers that the Share Consolidation is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Moreover, in view of the recent decrease in trading prices of the Shares and the trading price is approaching to the extremities of HK$0.01, the Board considers that it is of paramount importance to adjust the trading price of the Shares to meet the trading limit as set out in Rule 17.76 of the GEM Listing Rules first.

LISTING APPLICATION FOR CONSOLIDATED SHARES

Application has been made by the Company to the Listing Division of the Stock Exchange for the grant of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue and any new Consolidated Shares which may fall to be issued pursuant to (i) the exercise of the subscription rights attached to the share options granted and may be granted under the Share Option Scheme and (ii) the exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Bonds, upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.

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 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.

EXCHANGE OF SHARE CERTIFICATES

Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, Shareholders may submit share certificates for the Shares, to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong for exchange from Wednesday, 30 December 2015 to Friday, 5 February 2016 (both dates inclusive), at the expense of the Company for share certificates of the Consolidated Shares. Thereafter, share certificates for the Shares will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such higher amount as may from time to time be allowed by the Stock

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Exchange) for each share certificate of the Shares cancelled or each new share certificate issued for the Consolidated Shares, whichever number of share certificates cancelled/issued is higher.

The existing share certificates will be valid for trading and settlement up to 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 30 December 2015, being the latest time for trading in board lots of 20,000 Consolidated Shares in the form of existing share certificates (or such other date which will be announced by the Company) and will continue to be good evidence of legal title after the Share Consolidation has become effective and may be exchanged for share certificates of the Consolidated Shares at any time in accordance with the foregoing. The new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares will be issued in red colour in order to distinguish them from the existing orange colour of the share certificates for the Shares.

ODD LOTS ARRANGEMENTS, MATCHING SERVICES

In order to alleviate the difficulties arising from the existence of odd lots of Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation, the Company has appointed Freeman Securities Limited to stand in the market to provide matching services, on a best effort basis, to those Shareholders who wish to acquire odd lots of the Consolidated Shares to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holdings of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares from 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, 14 January 2016 to 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 3 February 2016 (both days inclusive). Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares who wish to take advantage of this facility either to dispose of their odd lots of the Consolidated Shares or top up to a full board lot may, directly or through their brokers, contact Ms. Hong Ming Kiu, May of the Freeman Securities Limited of Room 1601, 16/F., China United Centre, 28 Marble Road, North Point, Hong Kong by phone at (852) 3513 8002 or by fax at (852) 2815 6728 during this period.

Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares should note that successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares are not guaranteed. Any Shareholder who is in any doubt about the odd lots arrangement, is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional advisers.

Shareholders are advised to consult their professional advisers if they are in doubt about the above arrangement.

PROPOSED CAPITAL REORGANISATION

Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Board proposes to effect the Capital Reduction pursuant to which:

  • (a) the issued and paid up share capital of the Company be reduced by cancelling the nominal value of each issued Consolidated Share of the Company on the effective date from HK$1.0 to HK$0.001 to the extent of HK$0.999 (“the Capital Reduction”), so that following such reduction each issued Consolidated Share with a nominal value of HK$1.0 in the share capital of the Company shall become one share with a par value of HK$0.001 each in the share capital of the Company (the “Adjusted Share”);

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (b) the credit arising from the Capital Reduction will be applied to set-off the accumulated losses of the Company as at the effective date of the Capital Reduction (if any) with the balance (if any) to be transferred to the distributable reserve account of the Company which may be utilized by the Directors in accordance with the articles of association of the Company and all applicable laws; and

  • (c) immediately following the Capital Reduction, each of the authorised but unissued Consolidated Shares of HK$1.0 will then be sub-divided into 1,000 Adjusted Shares of HK$0.001 each in the capital of the Company, so that the authorized share capital of the Company shall become HK$200,000,000 divided into 200,000,000,000 Adjusted Shares of HK$0.001 each.

CONDITIONS OF THE CAPITAL REORGANISATION

The Capital Reorganisation is conditional upon the following:

  • (i) the Share Consolidation becoming effective;

  • (ii) the passing of the necessary resolution by the Shareholders approving the Capital Reorganisation at the EGM;

  • (iii) the Court approving the Capital Reduction and compliance with any conditions the Court may impose;

  • (iv) the registration of the Court’s order confirming the Capital Reduction and minutes approved by the Court containing the particulars required under the Companies Laws of the Cayman Islands with respect to the Capital Reduction with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands; and

  • (v) the GEM Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Adjusted Shares to be in issue upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the above conditions has been fulfilled. An application will be made by the Company to the GEM Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Adjusted Shares to be in issue upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective.

The Capital Reduction shall become effective upon registration of the Court order and other relevant documents with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands. The Capital Reduction will not entail any amendments to the Company’s memorandum and articles of association.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

EFFECT ON THE SHARE CAPITAL STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO AND AFTER CAPITAL REORGANISATION

Assuming there will be no change in the issued share capital of the Company from the date on which the Share Consolidation becomes effective up to the date on which the Capital Reorganisation becomes effective, the share capital of the Company will be as follows:

Prior to the Capital Immediately following the
Reorganisation becoming Capital Reorganisation
effective becoming effective
Nominal value of each HK$1.0 HK$0.001
Share/Adjusted Share
Number of authorized 200,000,000 200,000,000,000
shares/Adjusted Shares
Authorized share capital HK$200,000,000 HK$200,000,000
Number of Shares/Adjusted 98,674,565 98,674,565

Issued and fully-paid share HK$98,674,565.60 HK$98,674.56
capital

The size of each board lot of the Consolidated Shares will remain as that of the Shares, being 20,000 Adjusted Shares per board lot.

On the basis of the existing issued share capital of the Company and assuming no further issue of new Shares from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date on which the Share Consolidation and the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, the authorized share capital of the Company will be HK$200,000,000 divided into 200,000,000,000 Adjusted Shares with a nominal value of HK$0.001 each, of which 98,674,565 Consolidated Shares will be in issue.

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The following table shows the amount of issued share capital of the Company and the changes in the Share Premium and Reserves which included the accumulated losses of the Company immediately before and after the Share Consolidation and Capital Reduction:

Immediately Before Immediately After
Capital Reduction Capital Reduction
HK$,000 HK$,000
Issued Share Capital 98,675 99
Share Premium and Reserves (87,110)Note 11,466
*Accumulated Losses (536,178)Note (437,602)
  • included in the Share Premium and Reserves

Note: as at 30 September 2015

Immediately following the Capital Reduction becoming effective, each authorized but unissued Consolidated Share will also be sub-divided into 1,000 Adjusted Shares with a nominal value of HK$0.001 each.

Other than the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Capital Reorganisation, the implementation thereof will not alter on the consolidated net asset value of the Group, nor will the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the interests or rights of the Shareholders.

REASONS FOR THE CAPITAL REORGANISATION

The Group is principally engaged in system development, professional services, money lending business, proprietary trading business and printing services.

The Board considers that the Capital Reorganisation will keep the nominal value of the Share at a lower level that can facilitate the Company’s future fund raising activities as the Company is not allowed to issue any Shares below nominal value. The Sub-division is necessary to sub-divide the nominal value of each of the authorized but unissued Consolidated Shares from HK$1.0 to HK$0.001 so that the nominal value of all issued and unissued Adjusted Shares will be HK$0.001 each.

In addition, the credit arising from the Capital Reduction will be applied towards cancelling the accumulated losses of the Company as at the effective date of the Capital Reduction, thereby reducing the accumulated losses of the Group. The balance of credit (if any) will be transferred a distributable reserve account of the Company which may be utilised by the Directors as a distributable reserve in accordance with the articles of association of the Company and all applicable laws.

Save for applying the credit sum arising from the Capital Reduction towards cancelling the accumulated losses of the Company and the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Capital Reduction, the Directors consider that the Capital Reorganisation will have no effect on the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportional interests of the Shareholders in the Company.

Therefore the Directors consider that the Capital Reorganisation are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING APPLICATION ARISING FROM THE CAPITAL REORGANISATION

Application will be made to the GEM Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Adjusted Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation.

The Adjusted Shares will be identical in all respects and rank pari passu in all respects with each other as to all future dividends and distributions which are declared, made or paid.

EXCHANGE OF SHARE CERTIFICATES

Subject to the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, Shareholders may, during the period from 9:00 a.m. Tuesday, 26 April 2016 to 4:30 p.m. Thursday 26 May 2016, submit share certificates for the Consolidated Shares in red colour to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, in exchange, at the expense of the Company, for new share certificates in yellow colour for the Adjusted Shares. Thereafter, share certificates for the then Consolidated Shares will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such higher amount as may be allowed by the Stock Exchange from time to time) for each share certificate issued or cancelled, whichever is higher. Nevertheless, share certificates for the then Consolidated Shares will not be acceptable for trading purposes but will continue to be good evidence of legal title and may be exchanged for new share certificates for the Adjusted Shares at any time at the expense of the Shareholders.

POSSIBLE ADJUSTMENTS TO OUTSTANDING CONVERTIBLE BONDS AND OPTIONS UPON SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND CAPITAL REORGANISATION BECOMING EFFECTIVE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are (i) outstanding principal amount of HK$10,000,000 due 1 April 2016 which entitle the holders to subscribe an aggregate of 28,571,428 new Shares upon exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Bonds and (ii) and a maximum of 6,770,000 outstanding options to subscribe for new Shares.

Upon the Share Consolidation and Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, adjustments may need to be made to the exercise price and other rights (if any) pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Bonds and Share Option Scheme of the Company if necessary.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company will engage the auditors of the Company or an approved financial adviser to certify in writing the necessary adjustments, if any, to the conversion prices of the outstanding Convertible Bonds and number of Conversion shares and the exercise prices and number of Option Shares which may be subscribed pursuant to the Convertible Bonds and Options. The Company will make further announcement(s), when and where appropriate, about the adjustments in due course.

Save as aforesaid, the Company has no other 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.

EGM

An EGM will be convened for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the ordinary resolution in respect of the Share Consolidation, as well as the special resolution to approve the Capital Reorganisation.

Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM and any adjournment thereof (as the case may be) should you so wish and in such event, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.
