LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is to give you details of the Disposal, the Name Change and a notice of the SGM at which the necessary resolutions will be proposed to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the S&P Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and the Name Change.

THE S&P AGREEMENT

Date: 7 September 2012 (after trading hours) Parties Vendor: the Vendor, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company Purchaser: the Purchaser, an investment holding company

To the best of the Directors’s knowledge, information and belief, after having made all reasonable enquiry, the Purchaser and its ultimate beneficial owner(s) are third parties independent of and not connected with the Company and its connected persons, and they have no current or prior relationship or business arrangements/transactions with the Company and the Directors.

Assets to be disposed

Sale Share: 1 share of US$1.00 each of the Disposal Company, being the entire issued share capital of the Disposal Company

Sale Loans: being the loans owing by the Disposal Group to the Vendor and the Company as at the date of Completion, as at 31 March 2012, such loans amounting to approximately HK$116,452,000 in total

The consideration for the Sale Share and the Sale Loans

The aggregate consideration for the Sale Share and the Sale Loans of HK$100,000,000 shall be payable by the Purchaser to the Vendor (or as it may direct) in cash in the following manner:

  • (i) HK$15,000,000 as refundable deposit was paid upon signing of the S&P Agreement; and

  • (ii) the balance of HK$85,000,000 to be paid upon Completion.

The HK$15,000,000 deposit shall be refunded to the Purchaser if the conditions to Completion have not been fulfilled on or before 31 December 2012 or such other date as the parties to the S&P Agreement may agree.

5

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The aggregate consideration for the Sale Share and the Sale Loans was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Vendor and the Purchaser and also represents a premium of approximately 1.05% over the aggregate of the unaudited deficiency in equity attributable to owner of the Disposal Company as at 31 March 2012 of approximately HK$17,488,000 and the Sale Loans of approximately HK$116,452,000 in total as at 31 March 2012 which amounted to approximately HK$98,964,000.

Having considered the above and the factors described under the section headed “REASONS FOR THE DISPOSAL AND USE OF PROCEEDS” below, the Directors (including the independent nonexecutive Directors) consider that the aggregate consideration for the Sale Share and the Sale Loans is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Condition and Completion

Completion shall be conditional upon and is subject to:

  • (i) the approval of the S&P Agreement and transactions contemplated thereunder by the Shareholders at the SGM in accordance with the Listing Rules (if required); and

  • (ii) a written confirmation from the Purchaser to the Vendor that it is satisfied with the results of the due diligence review within 45 business days from the date of the S&P Agreement.

If the above conditions have not been satisfied on or before 31 December 2012 (or such later date as the Vendor and the Purchaser may agree) and the Purchaser gives notice to terminate the S&P Agreement, the S&P Agreement shall thereupon terminate and the Vendor shall return the deposit without interest to the Purchaser and the parties shall thereafter have no further claims against the other under the S&P Agreement for costs, damages, compensation or otherwise, save in respect of antecedent breaches.

Completion shall take place on the seventh business day (or if such day is not a business day, the next business day) after the date on which the conditions of the S&P Agreement shall have been satisfied (or such later date as the parties may agree in writing).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Set out below is the summary of unaudited consolidated financial information of the Disposal Company for the two years ended 31 March 2012:

For the year ended For the year ended
31 March 2012 31 March 2011
(unaudited) (unaudited)
HK$’000 HK$’000
Turnover 34,490 15,791

Loss after taxation (28,266) (7,495)
(Deficiency in equity)/total
equity attributable to owner
of the Disposal Company (17,488) 6,231

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL

Based on the calculation of the consideration of HK$100,000,000 for the Disposal less (i) the unaudited deficiency in equity attributable to owner of the Disposal Company as at 31 March 2012 of approximately HK$17,488,000; (ii) the assignments of the Sale Loans of approximately HK$116,452,000 in total by the Vendor and the Company to the Purchaser; (iii) realisation of translation reserve of the Disposal Group of approximately HK$8,081,000; and (iv) the related expenses of approximately HK$800,000, it is expected that, upon Completion, for illustrative purpose, an unaudited gain before taxation of approximately HK$8,317,000 will be recognised from the Disposal.

The actual gain or loss arising from the Disposal shall be determined based on the deficiency in equity attributable to owner of the Disposal Company, the amount of the Sale Loans and translation reserve of the Disposal Group as at the date of Completion, and the amount of expenses incidental to the Disposal which may be different from the above.

Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group as set out in Appendix III to this circular, the financial effects of the Disposal on the Group are summarized as follows:

  • (1) The Group’s total assets would decrease from approximately HK$1,450,517,000 to HK$1,242,763,000, and the Group’s total liabilities would decrease from approximately HK$252,568,000 to approximately HK$42,785,000 upon Completion; and

  • (2) The Group’s performance for the year ended 31 March 2012 would change from a loss of approximately HK$468,870,000 to a loss of approximately HK$459,580,000, which is mainly attributable to (i) the inclusion of the estimated loss of approximately HK$18,976,000 arising from the Disposal as if the Disposal had taken place on 1 April 2011, after deducting expenses incidental to the Disposal; and (ii) the exclusion of the loss of the Disposal Group for the year ended 31 March 2012 of approximately HK$28,266,000.

Upon Completion, each members of the Disposal Group shall cease to be subsidiaries of the Company. Their profit and loss and the assets and liabilities will no longer be consolidated into the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE DISPOSAL AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Group is principally engaged in the business of supply and procurement of metal minerals, pharmaceutical products, provision of finance and securities investment.

As mentioned in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2012, Jinhua Qinggan is selling as a prescription drug to designated medical institutions in Beijing, and the Group’s pharmaceutical division will only be able to market the medicine as a non-prescription drug to public subject to the issuance of a new drug certificate from the relevant authorities in the PRC. The division has submitted medicine tests results in connection with the application of such certificate and has been awaiting for feedback and results of its application.

However, as the issuance date of such certificate is uncertain and substantial promotional expenses had been incurred in marketing Jinhua Qinggan and that sales volume of the medicine had not yet reached a scale that could cover the division’s operating costs, in particular, the high start-up costs in its early stage of operation, the division had been incurring losses in the past two financial years, the Board therefore believes that the Disposal will enable the Group to deploy resources in other business with better prospects.

In view of the net proceeds of approximately HK$99,200,000 to be received from the Disposal, the Directors consider that the Disposal represents a good opportunity for the Company to strengthen its cash position. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the S&P Agreement is on normal commercial terms and the terms of the S&P Agreement are fair and reasonable and the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Upon Completion, the Group will cease the operation of the pharmaceutical business and continue to engage in the three remaining businesses, namely supply and procurement, provision of finance and securities investment. The net proceeds from the Disposal of approximately HK$99,200,000 will be applied as working capital and for the development of the Group’s three remaining businesses, in particular, the Group has recently expanded its supply and procurement business to timber logs trading and presently intends to allocate the proceeds of approximately HK$30,000,000 (the budgeted amount was arrived at by making reference to prepayments to be made to suppliers for purchase of timber logs and related estimated purchases on a quarterly basis) for the development of this new segment of business. As to the balance of net proceeds of approximately HK$69,200,000, the Group presently intends to apply such funds as general working capital for the ongoing metal minerals trading activities of its supply and procurement business, the short-term lending activities of its provision of finance business and the equity investments activities of its securities investment business. For the year ended 31 March 2012, the Group’s supply and procurement business generated a revenue of HK$1,059,617,000 and the Group held a loan and securities portfolio amounted to HK$66,838,000 and HK$715,251,000 respectively at the year end. The Group’s loan portfolio comprised mainly short-term loans made to customers based in Hong Kong, and the Group’s securities portfolio comprised mainly listed equity securities and convertible bonds issued by listed companies in Hong Kong. Depending on funding needs of these businesses from time to time, the Group will allocate the proceeds to the three business operations accordingly to cope with their operational requirements. The Group has no negotiations or arrangements relating to intended acquisitions up to the Latest Practicable Date. Nevertheless, the Directors consider that the cash resources made available after Completion will enable the Group to capture attractive business and investment opportunities should they arise.

9

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Group will continue its established business in supply and procurement of metal minerals and will put effort in developing its new operation of timber logs trading. The Directors are optimistic about the prospects of natural resources related businesses in the medium and long term and will continue to devote financial resources to develop the Group’s supply and procurement business. The Group will also continue to develop its provision of finance business in light of the profitable results achieved in the past years. The financing operation provides a stable income source to the Group and the Directors intend to progressively expand the scale of this business depending on market conditions and financial resources available from time to time. In view of the instabilities of major global financial and investment markets caused by the continuation of the European sovereign crises, the slow recovery of the United States economy and the slowdown of GDP (Gross domestic product) growth of the Mainland economy, the Directors have been, and will continue to be prudent in managing the Group’s securities investment business. The management has been regularly reviewing and reformulating the investment strategy of this business in order to cope with the market volatilities. For the year ended 31 March 2012, most of the businesses of the Group were negatively affected by the global financial issues and the weakening macroeconomic conditions in the PRC by varying degrees and had not performed well. Despite that the Directors are optimistic about the Group’s businesses in the medium to long term, the management will, in view of the uncertainties and challenges embedded in the business environments the Group is operating in, manage and develop the Group’s businesses in a prudent and cautious manner. Looking forward, the Group will continue to engage in the three remaining businesses after the Disposal and will continue to look for investment opportunities in energy and resources related businesses or other attractive business opportunities by way of trading or acquisition of business or assets.

PROPOSED CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME

On 25 September 2012, the Board proposes that the English name of the Company be changed from “Beijing Yu Sheng Tang Pharmaceutical Group Limited” to “Poly Capital Holdings Limited”, and upon the proposed change of the Company’s English name becoming effective, the adoption of the Chinese name of “保興資本控股有限公司” in replacement of “北京御生堂藥業集團有限公司” for identification purpose.

The Name Change is subject to approval of the Shareholders by way of a special resolution at the SGM and approval of the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda.

Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set out above, the Name Change will take effect from the date on which the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda enters the Company’s new English name on the register maintained by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda in place of the existing English name. Upon the Name Change becoming effective, the Company will comply with the necessary filing procedures in Hong Kong.

The Board believes that the new English and Chinese names will provide the Company with a fresh corporate image and will better reflect the business diversity of the Group, which is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Upon the Name Change becoming effective, the Shares will be traded on the Stock Exchange under the new name. The stock short name of the Company will also be changed accordingly.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

SHARE CERTIFICATES

Share certificates issued after the Name Change has become effective will be under the new name of the Company. The Name Change will not, by itself, affect any of the rights of the Shareholders. Save for the change of stock short name to be announced by the Company, the trading arrangements for the Shares on the Stock Exchange will not be affected. All existing share certificates of the Company (in “red” colour) in issue bearing the Company’s existing name shall continue to be evidence of legal title to the Shares and valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes. Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for free exchange of existing share certificates of the Company for new share certificates (in “yellow” colour) under the new name of the Company.

APPENDIX II

1. INDEBTEDNESS

At the close of business 31 August 2012, being the latest practicable date for the purpose of ascertaining the indebtedness of the Group prior to the printing of this circular, the Group had outstanding borrowings comprising secured bank loans of approximately HK$25,130,000.

Save as disclosed above, the Group, apart from intra-group liabilities and normal trade payables in the ordinary course of business, did not have any loan capital issued and outstanding or agreed to be issued, bank overdrafts, loans or other similar indebtedness, liabilities under acceptance (other than normal trade bills), or acceptance credits, debentures, mortgages, charges, finance leases, hire purchase commitments, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities as at 31 August 2012.

2. WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors are of the opinion that, after taking into account the present available financial resources, the existing banking facilities available and the estimated net proceeds from the Disposal, the Group will have sufficient working capital for its present requirements and for at least 12 months from the date of this circular in the absence of unforeseen circumstances.

3. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE REMAINING GROUP

Upon Completion, the Group will cease the operation of the pharmaceutical business and continue to engage in the three remaining businesses, namely supply and procurement, provision of finance and securities investment. The net proceeds from the Disposal of approximately HK$99,200,000 will be applied as working capital and for the development of the Group’s three remaining businesses, in particular, the Group has recently expanded its supply and procurement business to timber logs trading and presently intends to allocate the proceeds of approximately HK$30,000,000 for the development of this new segment of business. The Group has an established business in supply and procurement of metal minerals and has recently expanded its operation to timber logs trading. For the metal minerals business, the operation sources from suppliers in South East Asia and Middle East and sell to industrial customers in the PRC, and for the timber logs business, the operation commences to source timber logs from suppliers in Melanesian countries and plans to sell to customers in the PRC. The Group has no negotiations or arrangements relating to intended acquisitions up to the Latest Practicable Date. Nevertheless, the Directors consider that the cash resources made available after Completion will enable the Group to capture attractive business and investment opportunities should they arise. Looking forward, the Group will continue to engage in the three remaining businesses after the Disposal and will continue to look for investment opportunities in energy and resources related businesses or other attractive business opportunities by way of trading or acquisition of business or assets.

APPENDIX II

4. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE REMAINING GROUP

Set out below is the management discussion and analysis on the Remaining Group for the three years ended 31 March 2012 as if the Disposal was completed on 1 April 2009:

(i) for the year ended 31 March 2012

Business Review

For the year ended 31 March 2012, the Remaining Group would have recorded revenue of HK$1,080,073,000, decreased by 42% from last year (2011: HK$1,862,684,000) and a gross profit of HK$1,756,000, dropped by 96% from the previous year (2011: HK$40,811,000). The decreases in the Remaining Group’s revenue and gross profit were largely due to the decline in volume of metal minerals traded by the Remaining Group’s supply and procurement division during the year.

During the year under review, the Remaining Group’s supply and procurement division continued to focus on the sourcing, transporting and supplying of metal minerals. The division posted revenue of HK$1,059,617,000 (2011: HK$1,857,066,000), declined by 43% from last year, and incurred operating loss of HK$15,165,000, in contrast to the operating profit of HK$31,708,000 in the previous year. During the last quarter of 2011, the building materials market in the Mainland showed a rapid slowdown and a drop in demand for metal minerals, which in turn, was caused by the financial tightening measures imposed on the property sector by the Chinese government. The noticeable drop in demand of metal minerals drove down the division’s revenue and consequently its profitability, in addition, the very volatile metal minerals market appeared in the fourth quarter of 2011 also posed problems on the division in fixing prices for its commodities, which ultimately resulted in a shipment of goods being completed at a considerable loss. Overall speaking, the year under review was a difficult year for the division. Looking forward, there are signs that the metal minerals market in the Mainland is stabilized and management expects that, given the current economic situation in the Mainland, the demand and price for metal minerals will tend to be steady for the remaining times in 2012.

The financing division continued to contribute a stable income to the Remaining Group’s results for the year. The division reported revenue and operating profit of HK$4,418,000 (2011: HK$3,289,000) and HK$4,235,000 (2011: HK$3,250,000) respectively, increased by 34% and 30% over their comparables in last year. The increases were mainly due to the comparatively higher average amount of loans advanced to customers over the previous year. As at 31 March 2012, the loan portfolio held by the Remaining Group amounted to HK$66,838,000, increased by 2.3 times compared to last year (2011: HK$20,000,000). In view of the profitable results achieved by the division in the past years, the management intends to progressively expand the scale of this division depending on market conditions and financial resources available from time to time.

21

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

The Remaining Group’s securities division incurred an overall operating loss of HK$414,792,000 (2011: HK$119,053,000) for the year. The Remaining Group invested in Hong Kong listed equity securities, convertible bonds and equity-linked notes and loss incurred comprised mainly unrealised loss of HK$410,246,000 (2011: HK$89,162,000) from holdings of listed equity securities and convertible bonds at the financial year end.

For the year ended 31 March 2012, the Remaining Group would have recorded loss attributable to owners of the Company of HK$440,604,000 (2011: HK$113,675,000). Such loss was mainly attributed to the loss incurred by the Remaining Group’s securities investment division. Throughout the financial year, the Hong Kong stock market had been under the negative influences of the sovereign debts crises in Europe, the slow recovery of the United States economy, the financial tightening measures imposed by the Chinese government on its banking and property sector, and the slowdown of GDP growth of the Mainland economy. From April 2011 to March 2012, Hang Seng Index, Hang Seng Chinese Enterprises Index and Hang Seng Composite Mid Cap Index dropped by approximately 14%, 21% and 23% respectively. Investor confidence and market sentiments were weak for a large part of the year and prices of listed securities invested by the Remaining Group fell. Looking ahead, it is expected that the global financial and investment markets will continue to be volatile in view of the issues including the European sovereign debt crises, the state of recovery of the US economy and the slower GDP growth of the Mainland economy. In light of the uncertainties embedded in the investment environments the division is facing, the management has been, and will continue to be prudent in managing the Remaining Group’s securities investment business and will review and reformulate its investment strategy from time to time in order to cope with these market volatilities.

Material Acquisitions and Disposals

There were no material acquisitions or disposals of subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities during the year.

Liquidity, Financial Resources and Capital Structure

At 31 March 2012, the Remaining Group would have current assets of HK$1,257,489,000 (2011: HK$1,679,369,000) and liquid assets comprising cash and bank balances and short-term securities investments totaled HK$991,462,000 (2011: HK$953,230,000) (excluding pledged bank deposits). The Remaining Group’s current ratio, calculated based on current assets of HK$1,257,489,000 (2011: HK$1,679,369,000) over current liabilities of the Remaining Group of HK$42,785,000 (2011: HK$223,709,000), would be at a strong ratio of 29.39 at the year end (2011: 7.51).

22

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

The Company issued approximately 2,554 million new shares (after adjusted for the effect of share consolidation in February 2012) and raised net proceeds of approximately HK$386.3 million during the year as a result of placing and rights issue of new shares as well as exercising of warrants. At the year end, equity attributable to owners of the Company would have amounted to HK$1,217,230,000, representing a decrease of 6% compared to last year (2011: HK$1,291,328,000). The decrease of the equity attributable to owners of the Company was mainly a result of the loss incurred by the Remaining Group, after partly offset by the new capital raised during the year.

At 31 March 2012, the Remaining Group’s total indebtedness would have comprised bank advances for discounted bills of HK$31,169,000 (2011: HK$161,347,000 (represented the fair value of convertible notes)). The Remaining Group’s gearing ratio, calculated on the basis of total indebtedness divided by total indebtedness plus equity attributable to owners of the Company, would be at a low ratio of 2% at the year end (2011: 11%).

Foreign Currency Management

The monetary assets and liabilities and business transactions of the Remaining Group were mainly carried and conducted in Hong Kong dollars and US dollars. The Remaining Group maintained a prudent strategy in its foreign currency risk management, to a large extent, foreign exchange risks were minimised via balancing the foreign currency monetary assets versus the corresponding currency liabilities, and foreign currency revenues versus the corresponding currency expenditures. In light of the above, it was considered that the Remaining Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risks was not significant and no hedging measure had been undertaken by the Remaining Group.

Pledge of Assets

At 31 March 2012, bank deposits of HK$15,008,000 were pledged to secure banking facilities granted to the Remaining Group. The 94% decrease in pledged bank deposits compared with last year (2011: HK$248,028,000) was mainly due to decline in trade volume of the supply and procurement division with the results that less deposits were placed with banks to secure trade credit facilities granted to the Remaining Group at the year end.

Contingent Liability

At 31 March 2012, the Remaining Group had no significant contingent liability (2011: nil).

Capital Commitment

At 31 March 2012, the Remaining Group had no significant capital commitment (2011: nil).

23

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

Employees and Remuneration Policy

At 31 March 2012, the Remaining Group would have about 30 (2011: 30) employees including directors. Total staff costs for the year, including directors’ remuneration, would be HK$10,081,000 (2011: HK$11,042,000). Remuneration packages for directors and employees were structured by reference to market conditions and individual performance. Benefits plans maintained by the Remaining Group included provident fund scheme, medical insurance, share option scheme and discretionary bonuses.

Future Plans for Material Investments or Capital Assets

There was no specific plan for material investments or acquisition of material capital assets.

(ii) for the year ended 31 March 2011

Business Review

For the year ended 31 March 2011, the Remaining Group would have reported revenue of HK$1,862,684,000, representing a sharp growth of 117% from last year (2010: HK$859,491,000), and gross profit of HK$40,811,000, also showing a jump rise of 87% over the previous year (2010: HK$21,797,000). The significant increases in the Remaining Group’s revenue and gross profit were largely driven by the strong growth of the Remaining Group’s supply and procurement division.

During the year under review, the Remaining Group’s supply and procurement division continued to focus on the sourcing, transporting and supplying of metal minerals. The division achieved remarkable business results by reporting a more-than-double increases in revenue and operating profit when compared to last year. There was a surge in volume of mineral ores traded by the division that was mainly due to the great demand from its industrial customers in Mainland China. The division posted revenue and operating profit of HK$1,857,066,000 (2010: HK$853,816,000) and HK$31,708,000 (2010: HK$14,879,000) respectively, which jumped by 118% and 113% over last year.

The financing division continued to contribute a stable income to the Remaining Group’s results for the year. The division reported operating profit of HK$3,250,000 (2010: HK$1,830,000), increased by 78% that was mainly due to the higher average amount of loans advanced to customers over the previous year.

The Remaining Group’s securities division incurred an overall operating loss of HK$119,053,000 for the year (2010: HK$9,811,000). The Remaining Group invested in Hong Kong listed equity securities and equity-linked notes and loss incurred comprised mainly unrealised loss of HK$89,162,000 (2010: HK$12,381,000) from listed equity securities holding at the financial year end.

24

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

For the year ended 31 March 2011, the Remaining Group would have recorded loss attributable to owners of the Company of HK$113,675,000 (2010: HK$25,262,000). Such loss was mainly attributed to the loss incurred by the Remaining Group’s securities investment division. During the financial year, the Hong Kong stock market was volatile largely brought by the sovereign debts crises in Europe, the uncertainties of the United States economy, the financial tightening measures imposed by the PRC government on the banking and property sector and the tri-catastrophe crises in Japan. Investor confidence and market sentiments were weak for most part of the year and pressed down prices of listed equity securities invested by the Remaining Group.

Material Acquisitions and Disposals

There were no material acquisitions or disposals of subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities during the year.

Liquidity, Financial Resources and Capital Structure

At 31 March 2011, the Remaining Group would have current assets of HK$1,679,369,000 (2010: HK$1,162,305,000) and liquid assets comprising cash and bank balances and short-term securities investments totaled HK$953,230,000 (2010: HK$844,012,000) (excluding pledged bank deposits). The Remaining Group’s current ratio, calculated based on current assets of HK$1,679,369,000 (2010: HK$1,162,305,000) over current liabilities of the Remaining Group of HK$223,709,000 (2010: HK$71,675,000), would be at a strong ratio of 7.51 at the year end (2010: 16.22).

The Company issued approximately 1,563 million new shares during the year as a result of placing of new shares and exercising of share options granted. At the year end, equity attributable to owners of the Company would have amounted to HK$1,291,328,000, representing an increase of 38% compared to last year (2010: HK$938,179,000). The increase in equity attributable to owners of the Company was mainly contributed by the net proceeds raised from the issue of new shares during the year which amounted to HK$466,824,000.

At 31 March 2011, the Remaining Group’s total indebtedness would have comprised convertible notes of HK$161,347,000 (2010: HK$147,882,000). The Remaining Group’s gearing ratio, calculated on the basis of total indebtedness divided by total indebtedness plus equity attributable to owners of the Company, would be at a low level of 11% at the year end (2010: 14%). The convertible notes were dominated in Hong Kong dollars and bore fixed interest rate at 1% per annum.

The 89% increase in pledged bank deposits compared with last year (2010: HK$131,099,000) was mainly due to the surge in trade volume of the supply and procurement division with the results that additional deposits were placed with banks to secure trade credit facilities granted to the Remaining Group.

Business Review

The Remaining Group’s revenue for the year ended 31 March 2010 would have amounted to HK$859,491,000, representing a 145% growth from last year (2009: HK$350,146,000) whereas gross profit of the Remaining Group would be HK$21,797,000, which also shows an increase of 54% over the previous year (2009: HK$14,170,000). The sharp increases in the Remaining Group’s revenue and gross profit were mainly attributed to the strong business growth of the Remaining Group’s supply and procurement division.

During the year, the supply and procurement division had significantly expanded its network of suppliers and customers for trading of metal minerals with the results that the trade volume of the division had increased substantially. The revenue and operating profit of this division was HK$853,816,000 (2009: HK$348,127,000) and HK$14,879,000 (2009: HK$9,718,000) respectively, jumped by 145% and 53% over last year.

The financing division of the Remaining Group continued to contribute a stable income to the Remaining Group’s results for the year. The operating profit of the division was HK$1,830,000, increased by 16% (2009: HK$1,571,000) which was mainly due to the comparatively higher average amount of loans advanced to customers when compared to last year.

The Remaining Group’s securities division incurred an overall operating loss of HK$9,811,000 for the year (2009: HK$1,103,000). The Remaining Group mainly invested in listed equity securities in Hong Kong and loss incurred comprised mainly unrealised loss of HK$12,381,000 from securities holding at the financial year end.

For the year ended 31 March 2010, the Remaining Group would have recorded loss attributed to owners of the Company of HK$25,262,000 (2009: HK$4,907,000). Such loss was mainly attributable to the loss incurred by the Remaining Group’s securities investment division and the non-cash equity settled share-based payment expenses of HK$20,958,000 (2009: HK$2,931,000). The equity settled share-based payment expenses represented expenses recognised for fair value of share options granted to directors and employees of the Company which involved no cash outlays.

Material Acquisitions and Disposals

There were no material acquisitions or disposals of subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities during the year.

APPENDIX II

Liquidity, Financial Resources and Capital Structure

At 31 March 2010, the Remaining Group would have current assets of HK$1,162,305,000 (2009: HK$273,967,000) and liquid assets comprising cash and shortterm securities investment of HK$844,012,000 (2009: HK$201,448,000) (excluding pledged bank deposits). The Remaining Group’s current ratio, calculated based on current assets of HK$1,162,305,000 (2009: HK$273,967,000) over current liabilities of the Remaining Group of HK$71,675,000 (2009: HK$47,236,000), would be at a strong ratio of 16.22 at the year end (2009: 5.80).

The Company issued approximately 1,160 million new shares during the year as a result of placings of new shares, conversion of convertible notes issued and exercise of share options granted. At the year end, equity attributable to owners of the Company amounting to HK$938,179,000 (2009: HK$228,022,000). The increase in equity attributable to owners of the Company was mainly contributed by proceeds raised from new shares issued during the year.

In January 2010, the Company issued convertible notes with total principal amount of HK$244,900,000 which could be converted into ordinary shares of the Company at an initial conversion price of HK$0.62 per share. Up to the year end, convertible notes with aggregate principal amount of HK$55,800,000 were converted into shares of the Company and thus convertible notes with aggregate principal amount of HK$189,100,000 were outstanding. At 31 March 2010, the Remaining Group’s total indebtedness would have comprised the fair value of convertible notes of HK$147,882,000 (2009: HK$30,563,000). The Remaining Group’s gearing ratio, calculated on the basis of total indebtedness divided by total indebtedness and equity attributable to owners of the Company, would be at a low level of 14% at the year end (2009: 12%). The convertible notes were dominated in Hong Kong dollars and bore fixed interest rate at 1% per annum.

Foreign Currency Management

The monetary assets and liabilities and business transactions of the Remaining Group were mainly carried and conducted in Hong Kong dollars and US dollars. The Remaining Group maintained a prudent strategy in its foreign currency risk management, to a large extent, foreign exchange risks were minimised via balancing the foreign currency monetary assets versus the corresponding currency liabilities, and foreign currency revenues versus the corresponding currency expenditures. In light of the above, it was considered that the Remaining Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risks was not significant and no hedging measure had been undertaken by the Remaining Group.

Pledge of Assets

At 31 March 2010, bank deposits of HK$131,099,000 (2009: HK$37,626,000) were pledged to secure banking facilities granted to the Remaining Group.
