– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • Ranking of Conversion Shares

The Conversion Shares issued upon the exercise by the holder of Convertible Bond the conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Bond will, when issued, rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares in issue as at the date of allotment and issue of the Conversion Shares, including the right to receive all future dividends and distributions.

Listing

No application has been nor will be made for the listing of the Convertible Bond on the Stock Exchange or any other recognized stock or securities exchanges.

Application has be made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange, for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the aggregate of 1,000,000,000 shares Conversion Shares to be issued as a result of the exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Bond in full, and the listing of, and permission to deal in those conversion shares was granted by the Stock Exchange on 11 March 2008.

4. REASONS FOR THE EXTENSION

The 2nd Extension effectively allows the Group to refinance the debts under the Convertible Bond under the same terms for a further 36 months. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has sufficient funds to fully repay the Convertible Bond. However, the Board is of the view that the 2nd Extension will enable the Company to retain the funds for potential investments or opportunities, in particular the investment opportunities for the coal mine in Kaiyuan, the PRC, where the Company is now conducting mining activities.

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 21 March 2012 and the 2013 annual report of the Company, Mulei County has proposed to increase the mining area of Kaiyuan mine, subject to further approval from the People’s Government of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of the PRC. When the expansion plan is materialized, the Group could apply the fund for setting up new production facilities and processing plants to meet the increase in the production capacity.

On top of that, the fund may also allow the Company to invest timely should it identify any other investment opportunities. Nevertheless, as at the Latest Practicable Date, save as disclosed above, the Company does not have any concrete plans regarding any acquisitions or investments.

Since the Convertible Bond is zero coupon, it will not incur any interest burden for the Group for the next 3 years. Further, other terms and conditions of the Convertible Bond will remain unchanged save for the Maturity Date and the Conversion Period.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Accordingly, the Board [Note][1] (excluding the independent non-executive directors whose views are net out in the “Letter from the Independent Board Committee” in this circular) considers that the terms and conditions of the 2nd Deed of Amendment are fair and reasonable and the 2nd Extension is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Directors are of the view that the 2nd Extension will not pose any significant impact on the operations of the Group.

  • Note 1: As Ms. Lo Fong Hung and Mr. Wang Xiangfei have material interest in the transaction, they have abstained from voting on the board resolution in relation to the 2nd Extension.

5. INFORMATION ON THE GROUP AND THE SUBSCRIBER

The principal activities of the Group are investment holding, mining, sales and distribution of coal.

The Subscriber is an investment holding company. Save for holding 74.42% shareholding in the Company and the Convertible Bond, the Subscriber does not have any other significant business activities.

6. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Pursuant to Rule 28.05 of the Listing Rules, any alteration in the terms of convertible debt securities after issue must be approved by the Stock Exchange, except where alterations take effect automatically under the existing terms of such convertible debt securities. The Company has applied to the Stock Exchange for and the Stock Exchange has granted its approval for the proposed amendments contemplated by the 2nd Deed of Amendment pursuant to Rule 28.05 of the Listing Rules.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Subscriber holds 74.42% of the issued share capital of the Company and hence a Substantial Shareholder and connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. The 2nd Extension to be effected by the 2nd Deed of Amendment between the Company and the Subscriber constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules and, therefore, the 2nd Extension is subject to reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirement.

Directors of the Company, Ms. Lo Fong Hung and Mr. Wang Xiangfei, both having a material interest in the transaction, have abstained from voting on the board resolution in relation to the 2nd Extension. Ms. Lo Fong Hung has material interest in the transaction by virtue of her 30% equity interest in New Bright International Development Limited, which in turn holds 70% equity interest in China Sonangol International Limited, which is a holding company of the Subscriber. Mr. Wang Xiangfei has material interest in the transaction by virtue of him being the spouse of Ms. Lo Fong Hung.

LETTER FROM KARL THOMSON

The Subscriber, being a Substantial Shareholder of the Company, holds 74.42% of the total issued share capital of the Company and hence it is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. The 2nd Extension to be effected by the 2nd Deed of Amendment and the Supplemental Deed between the Company and the Subscriber constitutes a connected transaction of the Company. As such, the 2nd Extension is subject to reporting and announcement requirements, as well as approval by the Independent Shareholders at the SGM, under the Listing Rules. An independent board committee comprising the independent non-executive directors of the Company has been established to consider and advise the Independent Shareholders on whether the 2nd Extension and the terms of the 2nd Deed of Amendment are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Independent Shareholders should note that pursuant to Rule 28.05 of the Listing Rules, any alteration in the terms of convertible debt securities after issue must be approved by the Stock Exchange, except where alterations take effect automatically under the existing terms of such convertible debt securities. The Company will apply to the Stock Exchange for its approval of the proposed amendments contemplated by the 2nd Deed of Amendment pursuant to Rule 28.05 of the Listing Rules.

We have been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders on the 2nd Extension in this respect. Apart from the normal advisory fee payable to us in connection with our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders, no arrangement exists whereby we shall receive any other fees or benefits from the Company. We are independent of the Company for the purposes of Rule 13.84 of the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM KARL THOMSON

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion regarding the terms of the 2nd Extension contemplated under the 2nd Deed of Amendment, we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:

I. Background information

Reference is made to the Subscription Circular. Ascent Goal Investments Limited, the Subscriber, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Sonangol International Limited. China Sonangol International Limited is a company incorporated in Hong Kong and is principally engaged in the exploration, development, production and sale of crude oil, property and hotel investment, and investment holdings.

As mentioned in the Subscription Circular, the Company was originally engaged in marketing and trading of clocks and other office related products, lighting products and trading of metals. Due to the successive losses in business and deteriorating asset base of the Group, the Board decided to broaden and expand the scope of business and income stream of the Group by seeking potential investors. In view of the Subscriber’s extensive experience and network in the natural resources industry as well as the prospects regarding natural resources industry, on 15 January 2008, the Company had entered into the subscription agreement with the Subscriber, pursuant to which the Company (i) had conditionally agreed to allot and issue to the Subscriber, and the Subscriber had conditionally agreed to subscribe in cash consideration of HK$80,000,000 for a total of 400,000,000 subscription shares at the subscription price of HK$0.20 per subscription share; and (ii) had conditionally agreed to issue the Convertible Bond to the Subscriber in an aggregate principal amount of HK$200,000,000 for a term of three years.

As mentioned in the Subscription Circular, the net proceeds from the subscription of Shares and the Convertible Bond would be used for the potential investment opportunities and the general working capital of the Group. In 2010, the Group has acquired a mining company, of which the principal businesses are mining, sale and distribution of coals in the PRC. The mining company is currently a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The mining resources owned by the Group include the mining rights and of the exploration rights of coal mines located in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the PRC.

Pursuant to the original terms and conditions of the Convertible Bond, all outstanding Convertible Bond should have matured on 13 March 2011. As mentioned in the 1st Extension Circular, although the Company has sufficient funds to fully repay the Convertible Bond at maturity, the Board was of the view that the 1st Extension could enable the Company to retain the funds for potential investments or opportunities. On 11 February 2011, the Company and the Subscriber entered into a Deed of Amendment to extend the maturity date of the Convertible Bond for 36 months to 13 March 2014. Accordingly, all outstanding Convertible Bond will be mature on 13 March 2014. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Convertible Bond with an aggregate amount of HK$200,000,000 held by the Subscriber is still outstanding.

As illustrated in the table above, the average monthly closing price per share fluctuated in a range from HK$0.340 to HK$0.811 during the Review Period. The Conversion Price represents a discount of approximately 75.34% to the highest average monthly closing price of HK$0.811 and a discount of approximately 41.18% to the lowest average monthly closing price of HK$0.340. The average closing prices of the Shares were above the Conversion Price during the entire Review Period.

LETTER FROM KARL THOMSON

On the other hand, we noted that the liquidity of Shares has been relatively thin during the Review Period. The average trading volume of approximately 349,856 Shares, represents only about 0.05% of a total of 765,373,584 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date. Given the generally low liquidity of the Shares, we consider that the Subscriber might not be able to realize his shareholdings in the market after the conversion of the Convertible Bond. Furthermore, since the trading volume of the Shares is insufficient, the disposal of large number of Shares within a short period might put substantial downward pricing pressure on the price of the Shares. Such depression in Share price could have negative impacts on the Group’s funding ability and credibility.

Despite a significant discount of the Conversion Price on the current market price of the Share, having considered the above discussion and i) the Convertible Bond represented an interest free loan with a term of 3 year which is much preferable than the market rate for commercial loans offered by the financial institutions in Hong Kong; and ii) it is unlikely that the Company would be able to procure any form of bank loan with favorable term taking into account the continuous loss trend of the Company, we consider that the Conversion Price is still acceptable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

III. Reasons for and benefits of the 2nd Extension

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Convertible Bond will be due on 13 March 2014. According to the terms of the Convertible Bond, the Company shall redeem all outstanding Convertible Bond on the Maturity Date, which amounted to HK$200,000,000 as at the Latest Practicable Date. By entering into the 2nd Deed of Amendment, the 2nd Extension can relieve the imminent need of the Company to repay the Convertible Bond, which in turn, can enable the Company to retain the funds for potential investments or opportunities and general working capital of the Group. Further, the Convertible Bond bears no interest and it will not incur any interest burden for the Group for the next three years, the Directors are of the view that it is in the better interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole to utilize the resources of the Group for business development instead of for redemption of the outstanding Convertible Bond.

In formulating our advice regarding the fairness and reasonableness of the 2nd Extension, we have conducted analyses on (i) financial position and operating results of the Group; (ii) potential investment and development plan; (iii) zero coupon rate for the 2nd Extension; (iv) other financing alternatives; (v) dilution effect caused by immediate full conversion of Convertible Bond and minimum public float requirement under the Listing Rules; and (vi) effects of the Subscriber selling his existing Shares in order to exercise the Convertible Bond. Detailed discussion is set out in the sections hereunder.

LETTER FROM KARL THOMSON

(i) Financial position and operating results of the Group

Set out below is a summary of the Group’s financial position and the operating results extracted from the latest published interim and annual reports of the Company:

Six months ended For the year ended
30 September 2013 31 March 2013
(unaudited) (audited)
HK$’000 HK$’000
Turnover 64,323 165,041
Loss before tax (2,280) (16,983)
As at As at
30 September 2013 31 March 2013
(unaudited) (audited)
HK$’000 HK$’000
Cash and cash
equivalents 288,345 255,620
Current assets value 335,498 326,849

As shown in the table above, the Group’s unaudited cash and cash equivalents and the current asset value as at 30 September 2013 were approximately HK$288.3 million and HK$335.5 million respectively. Since the Convertible Bond is to be due on March 2014, the Company may choose to redeem the Convertible Bond or issue the Conversion Shares to the Subscriber in order to fully settle the Convertible Bond if its maturity date will not be extended. If the Convertible Bond was to be fully redeemed, the cash required would be HK$200 million. Full repayment of the Convertible Bond will substantially decrease the cash balance of the Group to approximately HK$88 million, which may impose negative impact on the Group’s liquidity. In view of the substantial decrease in the Group’s liquidity, there is no certainty that adequate cash resources will be available to the Group to maintain its current business operation and development after redemption.

Regarding the operating results, we noted that the Group has recorded continuous loss in the previous financial years. In particular, losses of the Group were approximately HK$2.28 million and HK$16.98 million for the period ended 30 September 2013 and 31 March 2013 respectively. As stated in 2013 interim report of the Company, the loss of the Group was mainly due to the decrease in both sales volume and average selling price of coal resulted from the decrease in market demand. Having considered the continuous loss of the Group, it is prudent and rational for the Company to retain sufficient cashflow to finance the existing loss making business and the future development of the Group instead of utilizing most of the working capital to

– 22 –

LETTER FROM KARL THOMSON

redeem the outstanding Convertible Bond. In the event the Group’s operation performance continues to be unsatisfactory, we considered that the 2nd Extension is the best alternative to retain its liquidity at this stage in order to avoid uncertainties in such circumstances that there will be insufficient fund for the Group to maintain its current business.

(ii) Potential investment and development plan

As mentioned in the section headed “Background information” above, the Company is currently engaged in its coal mining business to generate revenues for the Group. As disclosed in the 2013 annual report of the Company, according to the restructuring plan being proposed by the People’s Government of Mulei Kazak Autonomous County (“ Mulei County ”) to the Administrative Bureau of Coal Industry of Changji Prefecture, Mulei County has proposed to increase the mining area of Kaiyuan mine, where the Company is now conducting mining activities. It is also stated that the production capacity of the Kaiyuan mine will significantly increase after expansion. The expansion plan is subject to further approval from Changji Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and Xinjiang Land Department.

If the expansion plan materialized, the Group might have to set up new production facilities and processing plants to meet the increase in the production capacity, timely funding requirements are needed as a consequence. Should the Company repay the Convertible Bond in full, the Company would miss the financial capability to take advantage of such opportunity. As such, we consider that it is reasonable for the Company to retain adequate funding to meet its urgent liquidity needs.

(iii) Zero coupon rate for the 2nd Extension

Apart from the extension on the maturity date, all other terms and conditions of the Convertible Bond remain unchanged including but not limited to the zero coupon rate and no requirement for guarantee and security. Since the Convertible Bond bears no interest and it will not incur any interest burden for the Group for the next three years, therefore there will be no cash outflow from the Group as a result of the 2nd Extension.

(iv) Other financing alternatives

We have discussed with the Company on whether they have considered other financing methods for the redemption of the Convertible Bond. As advised by the Directors, the Board has considered other alternative fund raising methods such as bank borrowing. However, bank borrowing may incur interest burden on the Group and it may subject to lengthy due diligence and negotiations with the banks with reference to the Group’s financial position and the then financial market condition. Given the unsatisfactory profitability of the Company, there is no certainty that the Company would be

– 23 –

LETTER FROM KARL THOMSON

able to procure favorable terms in such bank borrowing. We are of the view that the 2nd Extension of the Convertible Bond carrying no interest which is much less than the cost of bank borrowing. Furthermore, issuing new bonds, placing Shares for cash, right issue or open offer may also involve relatively substantial time and cost to complete when compared to the 2nd Extension. As such, we are of the opinion that while there are other financing alternatives available for the Company to raise additional funds in order to repay the Convertible Bond, the benefits of the 2nd Extension outweigh the alternative financing methods.

  • (v) Dilution effect caused by immediate full conversion of Convertible Bond and minimum public float requirement under the Listing Rules

The following table sets out the shareholding structure of the Company as at (i) the Latest Practicable Date; and (ii) immediately upon full conversion of the Convertible Bond.

Note: Full conversion of the Convertible Bond is based on a hypothetical basis and in no way implies or indicates that Ascent Goal Investments Limited could or will exercise such conversion rights of the Convertible Bond to reduce the interest of public Shareholders to below 25%.

The table above illustrates that the aggregate shareholding of the existing public Shareholders will decrease from approximately 25.58% as at the Latest Practicable Date to approximately 11.09% upon full conversion of the Convertible Bond, which represents a 14.49% potential dilution to the shareholdings of the existing public Shareholders. Such dilution might not be favorable to the Independent Shareholders.

– 24 –

LETTER FROM KARL THOMSON

Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Bond, the exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Bond by the bondholders will be subject to the provisions under the Listing Rules. The Company shall ensure that no less than 25% shareholdings will be held by the public at all times in compliance with the minimum public float requirement of the Listing Rules. In particular, the conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Bond will not be exercised by the bondholders and the Company will not issue the Conversion Shares if the Company would be unable to meet the public float requirement under the Listing Rules, immediately following the conversion.

As shown in the table above, Ascent Goal Investments Limited, is interested in 569,616,589 Shares, representing approximately 74.42% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. In the event that the Subscriber exercises the conversion rights, the outstanding Convertible Bond will be converted into 1,000,000,000 Conversion Shares and issued to the Subscriber. The Subscriber will be interested in 1,569,616,589 Shares, or 88.91% of the issued share capital of the Company while the aggregate shareholding of the existing public Shareholders will decrease to approximately 11.09% upon full conversion of the Convertible Bond. In such event, the Company would be in breach of the minimum public float requirement under the Listing Rules.

In view of the dilution effect and possible breach of the Listing Rules triggered by the conversion of the Convertible Bond, we are of the view that entering into the 2nd Deed of Amendment to extend the maturity date of the Convertible Bond is reasonable measure to avoid material impact on the interest of the Independent Shareholders and insufficient shareholdings of public float.

  • (vi) Effects of the Subscriber selling his existing Shares in order to exercise the Convertible Bond

Instead of fully exercising the rights attached to the Convertible Bond, the Subscriber could sell a portion of the existing interest in the Company prior to exercising the conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Bond to ensure the public float requirement under the Listing Rules is fully complied.

As mentioned in the analysis on the market price and the trading volume of the Shares as shown above, the liquidity of the Shares is generally low. In the event the Subscriber decides to sell his existing interest in the Company, such disposal of Shares might put substantial downward pressure on the Shares price which could have negative impacts on the Group’s funding ability and credibility.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the principal factors and reasons above, we are of the view that the 2nd Extension and the terms of the 2nd Deed of Amendment are on normal commercial terms which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Shareholders, as well as the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders, to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to approve the 2nd Extension and 2nd Deed of Amendment at the upcoming SGM.
