  • (3) a discount of approximately 83.50% to the audited consolidated net asset value attributable to the Shareholders of approximately HK$0.606 per Share (based on the audited consolidated net asset value attributable to Shareholders as at 31 December 2018 (the date to which the latest audited financial results of the Group were made up) divided by 748,936,324 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date);

  • (4) a discount of approximately 66.26% to the unaudited consolidated net asset value attributable to the Shareholders as at 30 June 2019 of approximately HK$0.296 per Share (based on the unaudited consolidated net asset value attributable to the Shareholders as at 30 June 2019 (the date to which the latest unaudited financial results of the Group were made up) divided by 748,936,324 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date); and

7

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Even though the Subscription Price represented a discount to the net asset value per Share, the latest unaudited financial results of the Group made up to 30 June 2019 disclosed that the main assets of the Group comprised of property, plant and equipment which were not immediately marketable in nature. Other major heads of assets included trade and bill receivables, and prepayments, deposits and other receivables, which are not immediately recoverable. The bank balance of the Group dropped from approximately HK$51 million as at 30 June 2018 to approximately HK$27 million as at 30 June 2019, indicating a need of cash of the Group. Further, as disclosed below (under the section headed “Use of proceeds and the reasons for the Subscription”), in view of the financial position of the Group, there is an imminent need of funding. Proceeds of the Subscription, together with the existing cash of the Group, would serve to maintain the general working capital and provide funds for repayment of the Group’s outstanding liabilities.

In view of the premium of Subscription Price to the market price of the Shares as disclosed above and the financial position of the Group, the Directors (excluding Mr. Chim, who will abstain from giving his view on the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder as he is the sole shareholder and sole director of the Subscriber and including the Listing Rules Independent Board Committee, after taking into account the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser), consider that the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

  • (1) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Listing Rules Independent Shareholders at the SGM approving the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares by the Company (including the Specific Mandate);

  • (2) the Stock Exchange having granted the approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subscription Shares, and such approval not being revoked; and

  • (3) all other necessary consents, approvals, permits or licences from the relevant governmental or regulatory authorities or other third parties in relation to the transactions contemplated under the Subscription Agreement having been obtained. Save for the conditions (1) and (2) above, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company and the Offeror is not aware of any other necessary consents, approvals, permits or licenses required in relation to the transaction contemplated under the Subscription Agreement.

The remaining proceeds of approximately HK$1.9 million will be applied towards settling the Group’s daily operating expenses.

The net issue price per Share from the Subscription will be approximately HK$0.0933. Based on the closing price of approximately HK$0.0800 per Share on the Last Trading Day as compared to the Subscription Price of HK$0.100 per Share, there will be no dilution on the theoretical price of the Shares.

The Company recorded HK$27.1 million and HK$23.2 million for cash and cash equivalents of the Group as at 30 June 2019 and 31 December 2018 respectively, which demonstrated a significant decrease from HK$77.1 million as at 31 December 2017.

Based on the actual use of proceeds from the fund raising exercises of the Company in the past 12 months, the average cash outflow of the Company was approximately HK$1.5 million per month. Based on the existing cash balance of the Company, and in view of the current financial position of the Company, it is necessary for the Group to retain the bank balance as funding for the repayment of liabilities throughout the year of 2020 and to safeguard the Group’s repayment

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

ability. Hence, there is an imminent funding need of the Group whereby the fund raised by the Subscription could be applied towards operation, so that overall cash level after the Subscription would be sufficient to maintain its general working capital, reserve funds for repayment of liabilities, and to guard against any unexpected increase in costs or to respond to any unforeseen need in capital. The net proceeds raised from the Subscription will serve to facilitate the Company to maintain a stable cash flow. Hence, the Board considers that fund raising through the Subscription is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In formulating our opinion and recommendation regarding the Subscription, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors:

1. Background to and reasons for the Subscription

a) Information on the Group

The Company is incorporated in Bermuda with limited liability, the Shares of which are currently listed on the Stock Exchange (stock code: 58). The Group principally engaged in manufacturing and trading of pre-stressed high strength concrete pile, ready-mixed concrete, sand-lime bricks, aerated concrete products and eco-concrete products. Financial information of the Group (as extracted from the Group’s interim report for the six months ended 30 June 2019 (the “ Interim Report ”) and the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2018 (the “ Annual Report ”)) is further discussed below.

  • i) Financial results of the Group
For the six For the six For the year For the year
months months ended 31 ended 31
ended 30 ended 30 December December
June 2019 June 2018 2018 2017

Revenue 150,889 200,187 414,717 315,515
(Loss)/profit for the period/year (245,468) 777 (43,626) (4,366)

As set out in the Interim Report and Annual Report, 99.7% and 97.3% of the Group’s revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2019 and the year ended 31 December 2018 was derived from the PHC pile and other business.

The Group recorded an increase in revenue from HK$315.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2017 to HK$414.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2018. Such increase was mainly attributable to the increase in revenue of the Group’s PHC pile and other business resulting from the rise in sales of ready-mixed concrete. However, the Group recorded a significant increase in net loss from HK$4.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2017 to HK$43.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2018. Such increase was mainly attributable to (i) the increase in provision for impairment loss of intangible assets of HK$11.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2018; and (ii) the decrease in gain on disposal of assets classified as held-for-sale of HK$21.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2017.

22

LETTER FROM INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Group recorded a decrease in revenue from HK$200.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2018 to HK$150.9 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019. Such decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in revenue of the Group’s PHC piles and other business resulting from the drop in sales of pre-stressed high strength concrete pile and ready-mixed concrete. The Group further recorded a significant net loss of HK$245.5 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019 as compared to the net profit of HK$0.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2018. The reason was mainly attributable to (i) the increase in provision for impairment loss of trade receivables, net of reversal of HK$114.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019; and (ii) the increase in provision for impairment loss of prepayment, deposits and other receivables, net of HK$101.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019.

ii) Financial positions of the Group

Net assets attributable to owners

Cash and cash equivalents 27,112 23,156 77,146

The Group recorded a significant decrease in net current assets and net assets attributable to owners of the Company as at 30 June 2019 as compared to that of 31 December 2018. Such decrease was mainly due to (i) the decrease in trade and bill receivables of HK$101.5 million; (ii) the decrease in prepayments, deposits and other receivables of HK$190.5 million; and (iii) the increase in interest-bearing borrowing of HK$10.5 million.

In particular, the cash and cash equivalents of the Group of HK$27.1 million as at 30 June 2019 and 23.2 million as at 31 December 2018, respectively, was significantly lower than that of HK$77.1 million as at 31 December 2017.

b) Information of the Subscriber

The Subscriber is a company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability principally engaged in investment holding, which is a substantial shareholder of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Mr. Chim is the sole director and sole shareholder of the Subscriber.

23

LETTER FROM INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Mr. Chim, aged 24, was appointed as an executive Director and the chairman of the Board on 28 May 2019. Mr. Chim has working experience in cross-border investment, private equities and financial products. As a fluent Arabic speaker, Mr. Chim has served as transformation associate consultant at Americana Group, a UAE-based F&B company operating more than 1,800 restaurants across 13 markets of the Middle East, North Africa (MENA) and Kazakhstan. Prior to graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in Modern Middle East Studies, Mr. Chim received training at Monitor Deloitte in Dubai, the National Bank of Abu Dhabi in Abu Dhabi, International New York Times and Meitu in Hong Kong.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Chim is interested in the 219,404,855 Shares of the Company owned by the Subscriber, which represented approximately 29.30% of the issued share capital in the Company within the meaning of Part XV of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

c) Reasons for and benefits of the Subscription

With reference to the Letter from the Board, the net proceeds from the Subscription is expected to be approximately HK$13.9 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Subscription for general working capital purpose, with the expected expenditure and timeline set out as follows:

Proposed use of proceeds Estimated amount Expected Timeline
(a) Group’s rental related Approximately Payable by the Group on a
expenses HK$4 million monthly basis throughout the
year ending 31 December 2020
(b) Payment of staff and Approximately Payable by the Group on a
directors’ remuneration HK$3 million monthly basis throughout the
year ending 31 December 2020
(c) Legal and professional fees Approximately Payable throughout the year
HK$5 million ending 31 December 2020
Total: Approximately
HK$12 million

The remaining proceeds of approximately HK$1.9 million will be applied towards settling the Group’s daily operating expenses.

24

LETTER FROM INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As set out above, the Company recorded HK$27.1 million and HK$23.2 million for cash and cash equivalents of the Group as at 30 June 2019 and 31 December 2018 respectively, which demonstrated a significant decrease from HK$77.1 million as at 31 December 2017. As set out in the “Letter from the Board”, despite the presence of existing cash, as at 31 December 2019, the Group has outstanding borrowings which amounted to approximately RMB18.4 million, consisting of (i) a secured revolving facility of approximately RMB4.1 million which will be due on 15 October 2020; (ii) a secured revolving facility of approximately RMB4.3 million which will be due on 23 October 2020; and (iii) a secured principal loan of approximately RMB10 million which will be due on 20 November 2020. Taking into account the liabilities of the Group, a significant portion of the existing cash will be applied towards to the repayment of debt and the existing cash could be depleted by the end of year 2020.

Based on the existing cash balance of the Company, and in view of the current financial position of the Company, it is necessary for the Group to retain the bank balance as funding for the repayment of liabilities throughout the year of 2020 and to safeguard the Group’s repayment ability. Hence, there is an imminent funding need of the Group whereby the fund raised by the Subscription could be applied towards operation, so that overall cash level after the Subscription would be sufficient to maintain its general working capital, reserve funds for repayment of liabilities, and to guard against any unexpected increase in costs or to respond to any unforeseen need in capital. The net proceeds raised from the Subscription will serve to facilitate the Company to maintain a stable cash flow.

Based on the above factors, we concur with the Directors that the Subscription is in the interests of the Company and the Listing Rules Independent Shareholders as a whole.

The Share closed at a price of HK$0.090 per Share as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Subscription Price represents (i) a premium of approximately 11.1% to the closing price of HK$0.090 per Share as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (ii) a discount of approximately 2.0% to the average closing price of the Shares of approximately HK$0.102 per Share during the Review Period. The closing prices of the Shares fluctuated within the range from HK$0.150 to HK$0.077 during the Review Period.

The closing price of Shares of HK$0.08 per Share as at the date of Subscription Agreement was close to the lowest closing price of Shares of the Company during the Review Period of HK$0.077 per Share as at 9 September 2019. We further noted that during the period from date of profit warning announcement of 14 August 2019 and up to the date of Subscription Agreement of 29 November 2019, (i) the closing prices of Shares represented the deteriorating financial results of the Group as disclosed in the profit warning announcement and interim result announcement for the six months ended 30 June 2019; and (ii) 56 out of 76 days, or 73.7%, of the closing price of Shares were below the Subscription Price of HK$0.1 per Share.

Based on the above, we consider that the Subscription Price and the Subscription are fair and reasonable in comparison of the historical closing prices of Shares.

c) Comparable issues

We have searched on a best effort basis and identified issue of new shares under specific mandate (excluding (a) issue of consideration shares solely for acquisition of assets and payment of services; and (b) issue of shares in rights issue or open offer) by companies listed on the Stock Exchange (the “ Comparable Issues ”), with announcements published since 1 July 2019 and up to the Latest Practicable Date, being approximately a 7-month review period. The approximate 7-month review period was adopted to demonstrate the recent market trends with sufficient and representative number of Comparable Issues and thus we consider the timeframe is reasonable and representative.

Based on the foresaid criteria and to the best of our knowledge, we have identified 15 Comparable Issues which we consider to be exhaustive. It should be noted that the subject companies involved in the Comparable Issues have different principal activities, market capitalisations, profitability and financial positions as compared to those of the Company. The circumstances surrounding such issues may also be different from those relating to the Company. The table below is therefore provided for illustrative purposes only and provides a general reference for the Listing Rules Independent Shareholders about market practice of transactions of this type.

Note:

  1. Figures are calculated based on (i) the net asset value attributable to owners of the Comparable Issues as set out in their respective latest reports available as at the date immediately prior to their respective announcements in relation to the issue of new shares; and (ii) the number of issued shares as disclosed in their respective announcements in relation to the issue of new shares, where figures in Renminbi were translated at an exchange rate as at the date of their respective announcement sourced from the Hong Kong Association of Banks;

  2. such figure is not available as such company had a net liability position; and

  3. save for the exchange rate as discussed, all data are sourced from the website of Stock Exchange.

As set out in the table above, we noted that:

  • (i) only one out of 15 of the Comparable Issues represents premium to both of its relevant closing prices, being approximately 7.80% and 9.20% respectively. The Subscription Price representing a premium of approximately 25% and 24.07% of the closing prices is the highest and beyond the range; and

  • (ii) eight out of 15 of the Comparable Issues represented discount to its relevant net asset value attributable to owners, with a maximum discount of approximately 68.04% and minimum discount of approximately 12.72%. The Subscription Price representing a discount of approximately 66.26% of the net asset value attributable to the owners and is within the range of Comparable Issues.

31

LETTER FROM INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Despite the Subscription Price represents a discount to the net asset value attributable to the owners of the Company, we note that such discount is within the range of Comparable Issues and the Shares normally traded at a substantial discount to the net asset value attributable to owners of the Company during the Review Period. Assuming the latest consolidated net asset value of the Group was generally available to the market from the date of publication of the relevant results announcements and the Share price has reflected such information thereafter, (i) the discount of the closing price of Shares to the net asset value attributable to owners of the Company ranged from 55.5% to 85.5% during the Review Period; and (ii) the average of such discounts of 72.0% during the Review Period was larger than the discount of the Subscription Price to the net asset value attributable to owners of the Company of 66.26%.

The net asset value attributable to owners of the Company amounted to HK$0.296 per Share as at 30 June 2019. Immediately after the Subscription Completion, the net asset value attributable to owners of the Company was HK$0.264 per Share, representing a decrease of 10.8% as compared to that as at 30 June 2019. Given the immediate funding need of the Company, we considered the value dilution of net asset value attributable to owners of the Company is acceptable.

In view of the above, given that (i) the Subscription Price represents a substantial premium to the closing price of the Shares as at the last trading date and the average closing prices of the Shares during the respective last five consecutive trading days and is above the range of Comparable Issues; and (ii) the Shares had been traded at a substantial discount to the net asset value attributable to owners of the Company during the Review Period, we consider that the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable in the comparison of respective closing prices of the Comparable Issues.

4. Dilution effect on the shareholding interests of the existing public shareholders

The following table summarises the effect of the Subscription on the shareholding structures of the Company (i) as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (ii) immediately after the Subscription Completion (assuming no changes to the number of issued Shares from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the Subscription Completion). Further details of the shareholding table and the corresponding notes (including changes related to the Subscription) are set out in the sub-section headed “Effect on shareholding structure of the Company” in the “Letter from the Board” contained in the Circular.

As illustrated above, upon the completion of the Subscription (absent of any other changes), the shareholding of the existing public Shareholders will be reduced by approximately 8.35% from approximately 50.36% as at the Latest Practicable Date to approximately 42.01%.

Taking into account of the premium represented by the Subscription Price and the additional funds to the Company as a result of the Subscription, we consider that the dilution effect to the shareholding interest of the Listing Rules Independent Shareholders as a result of the Subscription acceptable.

33

LETTER FROM INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

CONCLUSION

With reference to the financial statements of the Company, the Group recorded a decrease in revenue and a significant net loss of HK$245.5 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019. The cash and cash equivalents of the Group as at 30 June 2019 and 31 December 2018 were also significantly lower than that as at 31 December 2017. Taking into account the expected funding needs of the Company, the net proceeds raised from the Subscription will serve to facilitate the Company to maintain a stable cash flow. As such, we concur with the Directors that the Subscription is in the interests of the Company and the Listing Rules Independent Shareholders as a whole.

Despite the Subscription Price represents a discount to the net asset value attributable to the owners of the Company, given that (i) the Subscription Price represents a substantial premium to the closing price of the Shares as at the last trading date and the average closing prices of the Shares during the respective last five consecutive trading days and is above the range of Comparable Issues; and (ii) the Shares had been traded at a substantial discount to the net asset value attributable to owners of the Company during the Review Period, we consider that the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable in the comparison of respective closing prices of the Comparable Issues.

Upon the completion of the Subscription (absent of any other changes), the shareholding of the existing public Shareholders will be reduced by approximately 8.35% from approximately 50.36% as at the Latest Practicable Date to approximately 42.01%. Despite of the slight dilution to the shareholding of the existing public Shareholders, we consider this to be acceptable in light of the above-mentioned factors.

Having taken into account the principal factors and reasons as stated above, we consider that the Subscription, though not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, is on normal commercial terms and is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Listing Rules Independent Shareholders as a whole.

Accordingly, we advise the Listing Rules Independent Board Committee to recommend, and we ourselves recommend, the Listing Rules Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Subscription.

Yours faithfully, for and on behalf of Ample Capital Limited
