LETTER FROM THE BOARD

SUBSCRIPTION OF THE PIONEER CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND THE EXTENSION OF TIME FOR COMPLETION OF SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT II

On 20 January 2010, the Company entered into the Subscription Agreement II with Pioneer Link for the subscription of the convertible debentures in an aggregate principal amount of US$85,500,000 (or approximately HK$662,625,000) by Pioneer Link. Completion of the Subscription Agreement II was originally expected to take place on or before 21 April 2010 and then postponed to a date on or before 21 October 2010 pursuant to a supplemental agreement entered into between the Parties on 21 April 2010.

Despite that the Company had continuously urged Pioneer Link to complete the transaction on or before 21 October 2010, the Company was informed by Pioneer Link that it would not be able to fully complete the transaction on 21 October 2010 due to the unexpected internal circumstances and asked for an extension of twelve months to 21 October 2011. Given the Company’s capital needs, the Company has entered into the Supplemental Agreement with Pioneer Link with details as follows:

The Supplemental Agreement

Date

21 October 2010

Parties

The Company, as issuer

Pioneer Link, as subscriber

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiry, Pioneer Link is an investment holding company. Save that Pioneer Link is the holder of the Existing Convertible Debentures of HK$40,800,000, its ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of the Company and the connected persons of the Company.

Subject

The Parties have agreed that the completion of the Subscription Agreement II shall take place on or before 21 October 2011, being the date falling twelve months after the intended completion date (i.e. 21 October 2010).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As such, a new application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Conversion Shares to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the Pioneer Convertible Debentures of HK$509,125,000. No application will be made for the listing of the Pioneer Convertible Debentures on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange.

Restrictions on conversion

No conversion rights to the Pioneer Convertible Debentures may be exercised by Pioneer Link if and to the extent that following such exercise, that Pioneer Link and its Concert Parties, taken together, will, directly or indirectly, control or be interested in more than 5% of the issued share capital of the Company (the “ 5% Limit ”).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INFORMATION ON THE GROUP AND REASONS FOR ENTERING INTO THE SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

The Group is principally engaged in the research, development and sales of biopharmaceutical products as well as the development, provision and sales of electronic gaming system and provision of management services.

Despite that the Company had taken various actions (such as various reminder/ follow-up calls and letters to Pioneer Link) to procure and/or urge Pioneer Link to complete the transaction on or before 21 October 2010, the Company was informed by Pioneer Link that it would not be able to fully complete the transaction on 21 October 2010 due to the unexpected internal circumstances and asked for an extension of twelve months to 21 October 2011. Given the Company’s capital needs, the Company has entered into the Supplemental Agreement with Pioneer Link to extend the completion date of the Subscription Agreement II. The relationship with Pioneer Link, as a key investor, who is willing to invest a substantial amount of funds into the Company, is important to the Company. Despite the continued delay in the timing of the completion, Pioneer Link did have, from time to time, subscribed for the convertible debentures pursuant to the Subscription Agreement II, whenever its funding was available. The Company has not taken any legal action against Pioneer Link regarding the delay and intends to continue to resort to commercial negotiations with Pioneer Link to ensure that Pioneer Link timely fulfils its obligations under the Subscription Agreement II, and maintain a good relationship with Pioneer Link, being the holder of the Existing Convertible Debentures.

Despite that the delay in completion of Subscription Agreement II will result in the delay in settling the outstanding liabilities of the Group and affect the plan of the expansion of Group’s gaming business at San Kin Yip Commercial Centre, the Board believes that such delay will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position and operation of the Group. The Directors still consider that the issue of the Pioneer Convertible Debentures represents a good opportunity to raise additional and substantial funds to finance its business expansion for the Group without any immediate dilutive effect on the shareholding of the existing Shareholders, which would in turn generate benefits and returns to the Shareholders. It is an essential term of the Subscription Agreement II that the Conversion Price is floating to provide greater flexibility and incentive for Pioneer Link to convert the Pioneer Convertible Debentures having regard to the latest Share price performance and to save the Company’s expenses in appointing independent professionals to certify adjustments to such fixed Conversion Price in the event of any capital reorganizations of the Company.

The Directors are of the view that the entering into the Supplemental Agreement is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and that the terms of the Supplemental Agreement and the issue of the Pioneer Convertible Debentures (including but not limited to the floating Conversion Price) are and remain to be fair and reasonable.

USE OF PROCEEDS

As disclosed in the circular of the Company dated 16 March 2010, the Board originally planned to apply the proceeds raised from the issue of the Existing Convertible Debentures, inter alia, on the expansion of the Group’s gaming business including the launch of a casino

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

catering to high rollers at San Kin Yip Commercial Center in Macau of which the estimated capital expenditure for renovation, furniture and fixtures and equipment of HK$70 million, marketing and promotional expense of HK$23 million and working capital of HK$375 million amount to HK$468 million. The original proposed working capital for casino purpose in the amount of HK$375 million was estimated with reference to the then proposed combination of the VIP betting tables and live table games machines to be placed in the casino in March 2010. As there was a change in circumstances recently which led to the inevitable change of combination of the VIP betting tables and live table games machines to be placed in the casino in late September 2010, the estimated working capital required for casino purpose decreases from HK$375 million to HK$125 million, creating a surplus of HK$250 million, which prompted the Board’s decision to change the intended use of the proceeds of HK$250 million to early redeem the Promissory Note and to further develop the Group’s business in the gambling industry in order to take advantage of the discount offered for the early redemption of the Promissory Notes.

The Promissory Note was issued by Natural Noble Limited (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) to Mr. Jay Chun (or to his nominee as he may direct) as part of the consideration for the acquisition of a patent from Mr. Jay Chun, who has obtained the grant of the patent on 9 April 2010. After the grant of the patent, the Company commenced negotiation of the acquisition of the patent from Mr Jay Chun since mid May 2010 and entered into an acquisition agreement with Mr Jay Chun on 30 July 2010. For details, please refer to the announcement of the Company dated 6 August 2010.

Save as disclosed above, the Board intends to use the proceeds raised from the issue of the Pioneer Convertible Debentures in the following manner:

  • as to HK$50 million for the repayment of liabilities;

  • as to HK$60 million for the renovation, furniture and fixtures and equipment and as to an aggregate of HK$140 million for the general working capital of, a club house (HK$10 million) and a casino catering to high rollers at the San Kin Yip Commercial Center in Macau for the rolling chips for the live table gaming machines and the VIP tables (HK$120 million) and its general working capital (HK$10 million);

  • as to HK$40 million for the marketing and promotional expenses;

  • as to HK$189 million for the early redemption of the Promissory Note; and

  • as to HK$29.725 million for the general working capital of the Group.
