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.

Extent of Existing General Mandate utilised

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Placing was completed and 103,623,000 new Shares had been allotted and issued under Existing General Mandate, representing approximately 99.999% of the Existing General Mandate.

Reasons for the proposed grant of the Refreshed General Mandate

The Company is an investment holding company. The Group is principally engaged in (i) manufacturing and sales of straw briquettes, (ii) trading of commodities, (iii) trading of garment accessories, (iv) manufacturing and trading of LED digital display products, and (v) investment in securities. Given that the Company currently does not have a target/need to use the Refreshed General Mandate, and the Refreshed General Mandate merely provide an alternative source of funding should any investment opportunity arises, there shall not have immediate dilution impact on the Shareholders. Without prejudice to the aforesaid, the Board is also aware of the issue of news Share under the Refreshed General Mandate may cause dilution impact on the Shareholders. The Board will be prudent in issuing new Shares under the Refreshed General Mandate in future. The Directors will well balance the benefit of the potential investment opportunity that brings to the Company, the need of fund and the dilution impact caused by the issue of new Shares. The Directors are of the view that the proposed grant of the Refreshed General Mandate is justifiable and in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board would like to provide flexibility for the Company to raise funds for its future business development and/or opportunities to be identified by the Company through equity financing. Given that equity financing (i) does not incur any interest expenses on the Group as compared with bank financing; (ii) is less costly and time-consuming than raising funds by way of rights issue or open offer; and (iii) provides the Company with the capability to capture any capital raising and/or prospective investment opportunity as and when it arises, the Board proposes the Refreshed General Mandate shall be granted to the Directors.

In addition, as the net proceeds from the Placing has partly been utilised and the remaining proceeds have been planned its intended use as set out in the paragraph headed “ Equity fund raising activities under the Existing General Mandate” above, the Group will still need funds when opportunities arise and the Director consider that the Refreshed General Mandate will enable the Company to raise funds for capturing opportunities with funding available to be used. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not identified any such business development and/or opportunities.

Based on the total number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date (i.e. 832,266,289 Shares) and assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company prior to the date of the EGM, the Refreshed General Mandate, if granted, will allow the Directors to allot and issue up to 166,453,257 new Shares.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors had no intention to utilise the Refreshed General Mandate, if granted, to allot and issue Shares but may do so if new business opportunities arise and/or if the Company is in need of funds for its operations in the future. The Company currently does not have a target/need which requires the utilisation of the Refreshed General Mandate. The Company is merely reserving its right to one alternative source of funding should any investment opportunity arises.

The Refreshed General Mandate, if granted, will expire at the earliest of: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (b) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles or any applicable law to be held; or (c) the revocation and variation of the Refreshed General Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion in relation to the proposed grant of the Refreshed General Mandate, we have taken the following principal factors and reasons into consideration:

1. Background to and reasons for the proposed grant of the Refreshed General Mandate

As set out in the Board Letter, pursuant to the ordinary resolution passed by the Shareholders at the AGM, the Directors were granted the Existing General Mandate to allow and issue up to 103,623,394 Shares, representing 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the AGM.

12

LETTER FROM VEDA CAPITAL LIMITED

On 7 August 2015, the Company announced to place 103,623,000 new Shares (the “ Placing ”) for net proceeds of approximately HK$43.2 million which is intended to be applied for general working capital of the Group. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Placing was completed and 103,623,000 new Shares had been allotted and issued under the Existing General Mandate.

The Company confirms there had not been any refreshment of the Existing General Mandate since the AGM up to the Latest Practicable Date and as a result of the Placing, the Existing General Mandate has been fully utilised.

Based on the total number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date (i.e. 832,266,289 Shares) and assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company prior to the date of the EGM, the Refreshed General Mandate, if granted, will allow the Directors to allot and issue up to 166,453,257 new Shares.

As noted from the Board Letter, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors had no intention to utilise the Refreshed General Mandate, if granted, to allot and issue Shares but may do so if new business opportunities arise and/or if the Company is in need of funds for its operations in the future.

The Company is an investment holding company. The Group is principally engaged in (i) manufacturing and sales of straw briquettes; (ii) trading of commodities; (iii) trading of garment accessories; (iv) manufacturing and trading of LED digital display products; and (v) investment in securities.

As stated in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2015 (the “ IR 2015 ”), the Group recorded a net loss of approximately HK$48.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2015, representing approximately 7 times of the net loss of approximately HK$7.2 million (excluding a gain of HK$50.9 million from the disposal of a subsidiary of the Company in first quarter of 2014) for the six months ended 30 June 2014. The increase in loss was mainly attributable to the provision for impairment on the plant and equipment, trade and other receivables of the Company’s subsidiary of approximately HK$25.5 million, the legal and profession fees of HK$3.9 million and the finance costs of HK$4.0 million paid to the noteholder.

Also disclosed in the IR 2015, the Group’s major business operations took place in the PRC and Hong Kong, and financed mainly by the cash revenue generated from operating activities and by corporate borrowings. As advised by the Company, the Group is expected to continue to strengthen its existing business, proactively explore new business scope and continuously seek other suitable investment opportunities.

As set out in the Board Letter, the Company has conducted equity fund-raising activities since the AGM and up to the Latest Practicable Date. On 16 July 2015, the Company announced the completion of the issue of convertible bonds in the principal amount of HK$80,000,000 to a subscriber for net proceeds of approximately HK$77.5 million and as previously mentioned the Company completed the Placing for net proceeds of approximately HK$43.2 million (collectively, the “ Previous Fund-Raising Activities ”). These proceeds were partly utilised and the details of which are described in the sub-section headed “Equity fund raising activities under the Existing General Mandate” in the Board Letter.

LETTER FROM VEDA CAPITAL LIMITED

As advised by the Company, the Company has a total unutilised fund from the Previous FundRaising Activities of approximately HK$23.3 million (the “ Unutilised Fund ”). The Company is expected to apply most of the Unutilised Fund (approximately HK$20.0 million) for securities investment which in lines with the Group’s intention to commence new business activity involving investment in securities (the “ New Business ”) to generate additional investment returns on the available funds of the Company from time to time as set out in the announcement dated 14 August 2015 of the Company. In addition, further advised by the Company, the nature of the New Business is viewed as to be capital intensive and as at 10 September 2015, the Group’s cash and bank balance amounts to be approximately HK$23.3 million but the Group has also reached a gearing ratio of 56.0%. The latest financial results of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2015 combined with the high gearing ratio of the Group may affect the ability of the Group to obtain bank borrowings if and when necessary.

As further noted from the IR 2015, benefited from the enormous support given by the PRC government towards environmental related industry, the environmental sector is filled with promising development opportunities and clear, direct guidelines, which further fortified the Group’s objective to develop the environmental related industry. The Group will continue to strengthen the existing business of Shengyan, proactively explore new business scope and continuously seek other suitable investment opportunities.

As set out in the Board Letter, the Board would like to provide flexibility for the Company to raise funds for its future business development and/or opportunities to be identified by the Company through equity financing. Given that equity financing (i) does not incur any interest expenses on the Group as compared with bank financing; (ii) is less costly and time-consuming than raising funds by way of rights issue or open offer; and (iii) provides the Company with the capability to capture any capital raising and/ or prospective investment opportunity as and when it arises, the Board proposes the Refreshed General Mandate shall be granted to the Directors. In addition, as advised by the Company, it currently does not have a target/need which requires the utilisation of the Refreshed General Mandate and it is merely reserving its right to one alternative source of funding should the Group needs available funds when opportunities arise and the Director consider that the Refreshed General Mandate will enable the Company to raise funds for capturing opportunities with funding available to be used. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not identified any such business development and/or opportunities.

Having considered (i) the Existing General Mandate has been fully utilised; (ii) the financial performance and position of the Group may affect the Group’s ability to obtain bank borrowings if and when necessary; (iii) most of the Unutilised Fund from the Previous Fund-Raising Activities has already been planned its intended use; (iv) the Group is proactively exploring new business scope and continuously seeking other suitable investment opportunities and that the proposed grant of the Refreshed General Mandate will strengthen the capital base and financial position and improve flexibility for the Group in the future should opportunistic investment arise (if any); (v) the Refreshed General Mandate merely provides the Company an alternative source of funding and supplementary flexibility which is comprehensible and in the interests of the Company; and (vi) the grant of the Refreshed General Mandate would strengthen the capital base and financial position of the Company, we concur with the view of the Directors that the proposed grant of the Refreshed General Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

2. Other financing alternatives

The Directors confirmed that apart from equity financing, the Group will also consider debt financing, such as bank borrowings and issue of bonds, to be other possible fund raising alternatives available to the Group. However, the Directors are of the view that the ability of the Group to obtain bank borrowings usually depends on the Group’s profitability, financial position and the then prevailing market condition. Furthermore, such alternative may be subject to lengthy due diligence and negotiations with banks. In light of also that debt financing will usually incur interest burden on the Group, the Directors consider debt financing to be relatively uncertain and time-consuming as compared to equity financing, such as placing of new Shares, for the Group to obtain additional funding.

Besides, the Directors also considered that other forms of equity fund raising such as rights issue and open offer would incur additional costs in underwriting commission or placing commission and possibly require relatively longer time to complete.

We consider that the grant of the Refreshed General Mandate will provide the Company with an additional alternative and it is reasonable for the Company to have the flexibility in deciding the financing methods for its business operations and future development as well as any potential future investment opportunities when arise, including equity financing. As such, we are of the view that the grant of the Refreshed General Mandate will be in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. We also consider it is prudent and reasonable for the Group to maintain a strong capital base while additional funding may be needed for investment and business expansion purposes from time to time. We consider that the proposed grant of the Refreshed General Mandate is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and is an effective equity financing alternative for the Group to raise capital in a timely manner.

3. Potential dilution to the shareholdings of the public Shareholders

Note: The entire issued share capital of Hua R Sheng Technology Company Limited is wholly and beneficially owned by Mr. Yan Qiyu.

As illustrated in the above table, the shareholdings of the existing public Shareholders would decrease from approximately 67.49% as at the Latest Practicable Date to approximately 56.24% immediately upon the allotment and issue of Shares by the Company pursuant to the Refreshed General Mandate (assuming the Refreshed General Mandate is utilised in full and no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company) and the potential dilution to shareholdings of the existing Shareholders represents a dilution of approximately 16.67%.

16

LETTER FROM VEDA CAPITAL LIMITED

Taken into account that the Refreshed General Mandate will (i) provide alternative means for the Company to raise capital; (ii) provide more options of financing to the Group for further development of its business as well as in other potential future investments as and when such opportunities arise; and (iii) the fact that the shareholding of the Shareholders will be diluted in proportion to their respective shareholdings upon any utilisation of the Refreshed General Mandate, we consider such potential dilution to the shareholdings of the public Shareholders to be justifiable.

RECOMMENDATION

Having taken into consideration of the above principal factors and reasons, we are of the view that the proposed grant of the Refreshed General Mandate is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the proposed grant of the Refreshed General Mandate.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Veda Capital Limited Julisa Fong Managing Director
