CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high 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.

To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

(1) PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION; AND

(2) NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 20 June 2017 in relation to the Share Consolidation.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, the details of the Share Consolidation, the notice of the EGM, and any other information as required by the GEM Listing Rules.

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The Company proposes to implement the Share Consolidation by consolidating every ten (10) issued and unissued Shares of HK$0.001 each in the share capital of the Company into one (1) Consolidated Share of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Effect of the Share Consolidation

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$100,000,000 divided into 100,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.001 each, of which 2,700,000,000 Shares had been allotted and issued as fully paid or credited as fully paid.

Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, on the basis that the Company does not allot, issue or repurchase any Shares prior thereto, the authorized share capital of the Company will be HK$100,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000 Consolidated Shares of HK$0.01 each, of which 270,000,000 Consolidated Shares will be in issue. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no outstanding options, warrants or other securities in issue which are convertible into or giving rights to subscribe for, convert or exchange into, any Existing Shares or Consolidated Shares, as the case may be.

All Consolidated Shares will rank pari passu with each other in all respects and the rights attached to the Consolidated Shares will not be affected by the Share Consolidation. Other than the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Share Consolidation, the implementation thereof will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the interests or rights of the Shareholders, save for any fractional Consolidated Shares to which Shareholders may be entitled.

Conditions of the Share Consolidation

The Share Consolidation is conditional upon:

  • (a) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Share Consolidation at the EGM; and

  • (b) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the conditions above had been fulfilled.

Dealings of the Consolidated Shares

The Consolidated Shares will be identical in all respects and rank pari passu in all respects with each other in accordance with the articles of association of the Company as to all future dividends and distributions which are declared, made or paid.

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.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Listing Application

An application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares to be issued upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.

None of the Shares are listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and at the time the Share Consolidation becomes effective, the Consolidated Shares in issue will not be listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and no such listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought.

Fractional Consolidated Shares

Fractional Consolidated Shares (if any) arising from the Share Consolidation will not be issued to the Shareholders otherwise entitled thereto but will be aggregated and sold, if possible, for the benefit of the Company.

Board lot size

The Existing Shares are currently traded on the Stock Exchange in board lot of 20,000 Existing Shares. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the board lot size for trading in the Consolidated Shares will remain as 20,000 Consolidated Shares.

Based on the closing price of HK$0.036 per Existing Share (equivalent to the theoretical closing price of HK$0.36 per Consolidated Share) as at the Latest Practicable Date, the value of each board lot of the Existing Shares is HK$720 and the theoretical market value of each board lot of the Consolidated Shares, assuming the Share Consolidation had become effective, would be HK$7,200.

OTHER ARRANGEMENTS

Exchange of share certificates

Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, which is expected to be on 27 July 2017, the Shareholders may, during a period between 27 July 2017 and 1 September 2017 (both dates inclusive), submit existing share certificates for the Existing Shares, which are in blue colour, to the Hong Kong branch share registrar of the Company, Tricor Investor Services Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, to exchange, at the expense of the Company, for new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares, which will be in orange colour. It is expected that new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares will be available for collection within 10 business days from the date of submission for the exchange. Thereafter, the existing 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 be from time to time be specified by the Stock Exchange) for each new share certificate for the Consolidated Shares to be issued or each existing share certificate for the Existing Shares to be cancelled, whichever the number of certificates issued or cancelled is higher.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Nevertheless, the existing share certificates for the Existing Shares will continue to be good evidence of legal title and may be exchanged for new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares at any time but will not be accepted for trading, settlement and registration upon completion of the Share Consolidation.

Odd lots arrangement and matching services

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares (if any) arising from the Share Consolidation, the Company has appointed One China Securities Limited to stand in the market to provide matching services regarding the sale and purchase of the odd lots of the Consolidated Shares at the relevant market price per Consolidated Share, 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 holding of odd lots of Consolidated Shares, from 10 August 2017 to 30 August 2017 (both dates inclusive). Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares may contact Mr. Frankie Mak of One China Securities Limited at 2/F, Cheong K. Building, 86 Des Voeux Road Central, Central, Hong Kong at (852) 3188-2676 during office hours in the aforesaid 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 is not guaranteed. If any Shareholder is in doubt about the odd lot trading arrangements, such Shareholder should consult his/her/its own professional advisers.

Reasons for the Share Consolidation

Pursuant to Rule 17.76 of the GEM Listing Rules, where the market price of the securities of an issuer approaches the extremities of HK$0.01 or HK$9,995.00, the issuer may be required either to change the trading method or to proceed with a consolidation or splitting of its securities. In view of the recent trading price of the Shares, the Directors consider that the Share Consolidation will enable the Company to comply with the trading requirements under the GEM Listing Rules.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had no plans for any further corporate action or arrangement that may affect the trading in the Shares. After having taken into account the development of the Group’s various businesses as discussed in the section headed “Equity fund raising plan of the Company” below, the Board would not rule out the possibilities in conducting corporate exercises such as share consolidation, subdivision, bonus issue of shares, change of board lot size, notifiable transaction (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules) and/or fund raising activities in the upcoming twelve months by the Company as and when appropriate. However, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had no concrete plans, and had not entered into any agreement, arrangement, understanding, undertaking or negotiation in progress to conduct any of the aforementioned activities.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Equity fund raising plan of the Company

The Group is principally engaged in the provision of (i) environmental services (the “ Environmental Services ”) including cleaning services, pest management services, and waste management and recycling services; airline catering support services; and (ii) money lending services (the “ Money Lending Services ”).

The management of the Group is taking proactive approaches to improve the Group’s performance and bring in additional revenue stream to the Group including expansion of its environmental cleaning services into the PRC, set up of the Union Group to provide financial services, and the interest income from the provision of the Money Lending Services. The management of the Group is continuously reviewing the performance of the Company including its development plans, business operations and growth potential. Depending on the Group’s actual performance and its funding needs, in particular for the Group’s business expansion, the Company may consider to conduct fund raising activities in future as and when appropriate should the Group’s business operations, development and/or expansion demand, including but not limited to the following aspects of the Group:

  • (a) In respect of the Environmental Services, based on the management accounts of the Group, the Group had recorded (i) a monthly average administrative expenses of approximately HK$1.7 million; and (ii) a monthly average costs of services of approximately HK$19.8 million for the ten-months period ended 30 April 2017 in relation to the operation of the Environmental Services in both Hong Kong and the PRC.

According to the management accounts of the Company as at 30 April 2017, the Group had bank and cash balances of approximately HK$69.5 million (excluding the pledged deposits). If there is any unexpected deterioration in the performance of the Environmental Services, such bank and cash balances will be just sufficient to cover the aforementioned expenses for around 3 months.

Furthermore, as the Environmental Services are a labour-intensive industry, any delay in the timing of the accounts receivables by the Environmental Services from its customers may have a material adverse impact on the Group’s cash flow, and hence its operations and performance. Therefore, the Directors consider that maintaining a buffer of around 3 months payment for the administrative expenses and costs of services is a must in order to ensure a sustainable and ongoing business for the Environmental Services.

In addition, the Group is currently actively expanding its Environmental Services into the PRC region including but not limited to Shenzhen, Beijing and Chengdu in the PRC. If the expansion is growing as expected and some large scale tenders are awarded, further capitals may be required in this business segment;

  • (b) In respect of Money Lending Services, due to the mature Hong Kong financing market, the demand of loan is expected to maintain strong and increase gradually. The Group has commenced the Money Lending Services and began giving out loans since December 2016. Since then, the Money Lending Services have been

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

generating satisfactory revenue and returns for the Group. The interest income is approximately HK$1.2 million per month. The Group is optimistic that the Money Lending Services will continue to have positive gross profit and generate positive cash flow from its operations. The Group will closely monitor the financial performance of this segment. If the performance of the Money Lending Services is steady and promising in the upcoming months, the Directors would not rule out the possibility to raise further capital to further expand this segment in order to bring in additional revenue and returns for the Shareholders. Nevertheless, the Company has no such plan in raising further capital as at the Latest Practicable Date; and

  • (c) As announced by the Company on 5 June 2017, the Company had made applications to (i) the SFC for licenses to permit UISL to carry out Type 1 (dealing in securities) and Type 2 (dealing in futures contracts), and UIAML to carry out Type 4 (advising on securities) and Type 9 (asset management) regulated activities under the SFO; and (ii) the FMA to register UCL as financial services provider in New Zealand to carry out forex brokerage business in New Zealand. It is expected that the development of these new businesses will require capitals for, among others, (i) the set up costs of the Union Group including UISL, UIAML and UCL; (ii) the deposits to be maintained in the prime broker accounts to carry out the margin securities and forex brokerage businesses; (iii) the development of the online trading platform for UISL, UIAML and UCL; (iv) seed money to carry out the asset management business; and (v) the general working capital of the Union Group.

The Directors consider the development of these new businesses will enable the Company to diversify its businesses and broaden its revenue base, and would be in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Again, the Company will review the funding needs of this new financial segment from time to time. Depending on the actual performance and development of this segment, the Company may raise further capital to fulfill such funding need. However, the Company has no such plan in raising further capital as at the Latest Practicable Date.

As discussed above, the potential funding needs of the Company in future will depend on its actual performance and developments in several regions and segments.
