LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REASONS FOR THE LOAN CAPITALISATION
Upon Completion, the aggregate consideration for the allotment and issue of the Capitalisation Shares of HK$52,583,000 will be settled by way of setting off against the outstanding principal amount of HK$52,583,000 under the Shareholder Loan. As disclosed in the Company’s announcement of interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2018, the aggregate amount of the Group’s banking facilities as at 31 December 2017 and 30 June 2018 was approximately HK$275.8 million and approximately HK$10.0 million, respectively. The Group utilised less interest-bearing bank borrowings to settle trade payables due to the shrinkage of the bank facilities during the 1st half of 2018.
The bank facilities were tightened by the existing banks during the 1st half of 2018 due to the loss-making position of the Group and the Company in response obtained banking facilities of approximately HK$10.0 million from the existing banks secured by mortgages over the Group’s property. The Group sought to obtain new banking facilities from other new banks but was unable to do so. As a result, the Company obtained the Shareholder Loan to settle bank borrowings and improve its working capital.
Notwithstanding the Company’s share price has reached its record low recently, and the Shareholder Loan itself is interest-free and has not fallen due, the Board is of the view that the Loan Capitalisation should be conducted as soon as possible in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole because:
-
the Loan Capitalisation will improve the Group’s financial position by reducing the gearing level as a result of the decrease in the Group’s total borrowings and the enlarged capital base of the Group and thus place the Group at a better position as soon as possible to attract new customers, or commence businesses with certain new customers who have expressed willingness (albeit not commitment) to place orders with the Company after seeing improvement of the Group’s financial position, for broadening its revenue stream;
-
the Issue Price was arrived at on an arm’s length basis between the Company and Mr. Tang with reference to the recent trading performance of the Shares and the business prospects of the Group and represent a premium over the Company’s recent share price;
-
the Loan Capitalisation demonstrates the support and solid confidence given by the controlling shareholder; and
-
the capitalisation of the Shareholder Loan will enable the Group to settle its existing liabilities without cash outflows so that the Group will be able to retain working capital for its daily operation and future business development.
Having taken into account the above principal factors and reasons, the Board is of the view that the terms of the Loan Capitalisation Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and the Loan Capitalisation is in the interests of the
– 9 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Company and the Shareholders as a whole as the Loan Capitalisation will improve the Group’s financial position and thus benefit the Group’s business as soon as possible even though the repayment pressure of the the Shareholder Loan is not imminent.
THE SPECIFIC MANDATE
The Capitalisation Shares will be allotted and issued pursuant to the Specific Mandate proposed to be sought from the Independent Shareholders at the EGM.
APPLICATION FOR LISTING

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Revenue
The Group’s revenue showed a downward trend, from approximately HK$2,736.2 million in 2015 to approximately HK$1,339.6 million in 2016 and approximately HK$735.8 million in 2017, representing a year-on-year decrease of approximately 51.0% and 45.1% respectively. Based on the 2017 annual report, the decrease was mainly attributable to significant reduction of sales order from US and European Union market. The Group’s revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2018 was approximately HK$558.8 million, representing an increase of approximately 82.6% as compared to the corresponding period in 2017.
Gross profit margin
For the three years ended 31 December 2015, 2016 and 2017, the gross profit margin was approximately 20.0%, 24.3% and 21.9% respectively. However, the Group recorded a negative gross profit margin of approximately 8.3% for the six months ended 30 June 2018. According to the 2018 interim report, such decrease was mainly attributable to impairment provision of approximately HK$132.4 million for the inventories, increase cost of materials and the decrease of selling price of certain products.
Profit after tax
The profit after tax also experienced a significant decrease, from approximately HK$213.5 million in 2015 to approximately HK$53.7 million in 2016 and recorded a loss after tax of HK$485.3 million in 2017. For the six months ended 30 June 2018, the Company recorded a loss after tax of approximately HK$238.0 million, representing an increase of loss of 43.0% from the six months ended 30 June 2017.

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL
Net current asset
As at 30 June 2018, the Company recorded a net current asset of approximately HK$235.1 million, representing a decrease of approximately 41.4% from 31 December 2017. Such decrease was driven by a significant fall in the level of cash and cash equivalent and inventories. The cash and cash equivalent decreased by approximately 59.5% from approximately HK$203.1 million as at 31 December 2017 to approximately HK$82.2 million as at 30 June 2018 while the inventories reduced by approximately HK$164.0 million to approximately HK$250.6 million. Based on the 2018 interim report, such decrease was mainly due to repayment of bank loans during the period and the Company made an impairment provision of approximately HK$132.4 million for the inventories respectively.
Quick ratio
As at 31 December 2015, 2016 and 2017 and 30 June 2018, the quick ratio was approximately 2.12 times, 2.47 times, 0.97 times and 0.95 times respectively. The quick ratio demonstrated a decreasing trend and had decreased to a ratio of less than one as at 31 December 2017 and 30 June 2018.
Gearing ratio
As at 30 June 2018, the gearing ratio of the Company, calculated based on total debt (which include interest-bearing bank borrowings and the Shareholder Loan) divided by total equity, was approximately 18.8%, representing an approximately 3.1% increase from 31 December 2017.
3. Reasons and benefits of the Loan Capitalisation
The aggregate consideration for the allotment and issue of the Capitalisation Shares of HK$52,583,000 will be used for setting off against the outstanding principal amount of HK$52,583,000 of the Shareholder Loan at Completion.
As part of our independent work, we have discussed with the management of the Company the background for obtaining the interest-free Shareholder Loan of approximately HK$52.6 million. As advised by the Company, during the six months ended 30 June 2018, due to the loss making position of the Group, the banks which provided banking facilities to the Group at the then time had tightened borrowing constraints, and had decreased unsecured banking facilities limits granted to the Group. In response, the Company had tried to negotiate new banking facilities with the existing banks but was only able to obtain banking facilities of approximately HK$10.0 million secured by mortgages over the Group’s building. The Company had also negotiated with other banks in an attempt to obtain new banking facilities but was not successful. As such, the Group had obtained the Shareholder Loan for its increased cash needs for settling bank borrowings and to improve the Group’s working capital. We notice that as disclosed in the 2018 Interim Report, as at 31 December 2017 and 30 June 2018, the Group had banking facilities of approximately HK$275.8 million and HK$10.0 million respectively. Whereas outstanding bank borrowings as at 31 December 2017 and 30 June
– 19 –
LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL
2018 amounted to approximately HK$89.3 million and HK$9.4 million, respectively. Given the Group’s cash needs during the six months ended 30 June 2018, we consider there is a need for obtaining the Shareholder Loan.
As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Company considers that the capitalisation of the Shareholder Loan enables the Group to settle its existing liabilities and avoid substantial cash outflows. This improves the Group’s financial position by reducing the gearing level and broadening the capital base. As part of our analysis, we note from the 2017 Annual Report and the 2018 Interim Report, the Company recorded (i) a loss after tax of approximately HK$485.3 million and HK$238.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2017 and the six months ended 30 June 2018, respectively; and (ii) net current assets of approximately HK$401.5 million and HK$235.1 million as at 31 December 2017 and 30 June 2018, respectively. For the six months ended 30 June 2018, the Company recorded a gross loss of approximately HK$46.4 million which was mainly attributable to the ION360 business which had a significant gross loss of approximately HK$134.6 million. Other than Company’s loss making position, from the 2018 Interim Report, the Company had a net cash outflow in operating activities of approximately HK$88.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2018. As at 31 December 2017 and 30 June 2018, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of approximately HK$203.1 million and HK$82.2 million, respectively. As advised by the Company, during the second half of 2018, the Company had continued to negotiate with banks to obtain new banking facilities, and as at 31 December 2018, two existing banks had provided the Group banking facilities of approximately HK$30 million secured by mortgages over the Group’s building. As at 31 December 2018, the Group had utilised its banking facilities to draw down bank borrowings of approximately HK$30 million for improving its working capital and the Group had cash and cash equivalent of approximately HK$95 million. In view of the loss making position and particularly with a gross loss for the six months ended 30 June 2018, and the fact that the Group had utilised its banking facilities to draw down bank borrowings of approximately HK$30 million as at 31 December 2018 for working capital improvement, we consider that there is a current need for the Company to strengthen its working capital and reduce its gearing level, and concur with the Directors that the Loan Capitalisation would improve the Group’s financial position by reducing the gearing level and broadening the capital base.
Moreover, as part of our independent work, we have discussed with the Company in relation to the current need for the Loan Capitalisation, given the Shareholder Loan is interest-free and not immediately due. As advised by the Company, it is the Company’s strategy to continue to develop innovative products, increase market share, further expanding its customer base and actively explore the market in Mainland China. The Loan Capitalisation will improve the Group’s financial position by reducing the gearing level and thus place the Group at a better position as soon as possible to attract new customers for broadening its revenue stream. As advised by the Company, potential customers will generally review, among others, the result of the factory audit on the Group’s production plant, the financial position and cash flows of the Group. As mentioned earlier, the Group has been at a loss making position since the year ended 31 December 2017. In addition, the Group had approximately HK$88.7 million net operating cash outflow for the six months ended 30 June 2018. Based on the Group’s current financial performance, we
– 20 –
LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL
consider that potential customers might be less tempting to procure the Company as one of their suppliers. As such, though the Shareholder Loan is interest-free and not immediately due, we consider that there is a current need for the Company to strengthen its working capital and reduce its gearing level to attract potential customers in improving the Group’s loss making position.
Further, based on our understanding from the Company, the Directors had also considered other equity financing methods, such as rights issue, open offer and placing of shares. As advised by the Company, it would be difficult to receive positive response from the shareholders in participation of such fund raising exercise and negotiate favourable terms from underwriters given the financial situation of the Company. As such, shares might need to be issued at certain discount to attract potential subscribers.
As part of our analysis in relation to other equity financing methods considered by the Directors, we note that the Issue Price of HK$0.55 per Capitalisation Share represents a premium of approximately 22.22% over the closing price of HK$0.45 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the Loan Capitalisation Agreement and a premium of over approximately 18.79% to the average closing price per Share of HK$0.463 for the last ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of the Loan Capitalisation Agreement. We also note that the Company’s Share prices generally showed a downtrend during 2018 as demonstrated under the section headed ‘‘Principal terms of the Loan Capitalisation Agreement — Historical share price performance’’ below. We consider that such downward trend of the Share prices, together with the Company’s loss making position, would be difficult for the Company to achieve positive responses from its shareholders over the participation of the rights issue or open offer, and procure placing agents or underwriters to subscribe Shares at a premium to the prevailing market prices. Moreover, as compared with equity fund raising with a discounted share price, the Loan Capitalisation will create a lower dilution effect on the shareholding of the existing shareholders as the Capitalisation Shares will be issued at a premium.
Considering that (i) the loss making and liquidity position of the Company; (ii) the current need of the Company to improve its working capital and gearing level; (iii) Shares might need to be offered at certain discount in order to attract sufficient subscriptions under rights issue, open offer and placing of shares; (iv) the outcome of equity financing is highly dependent on the market condition; (v) the Loan Capitalisation will create a lower dilution effect on the shareholding of the existing shareholders as compared with equity fund raising with a discounted share price; and (vi) the Loan Capitalisation could avoid significant cash outflows in repaying the Shareholder Loan, we concur with the Director’s view that the Loan Capitalisation is in the interest of the Company.

During the Review Period, the Share price generally showed a downward trend and the highest Share price was HK$1.31 on 29 January 2018 while the lowest was HK$0.42 on 30 January 2019 and 31 January 2019. The Issue Price of HK$0.55 is within the aforementioned range and represents a discount of approximately 58% to the highest closing price and a premium of approximately 31% to the lowest closing price during the Review Period.
Comparable analysis
We have also performed a comparable analysis by identifying all share issues under specific mandate entered into and announced by companies listing on the Stock Exchange during the period from 1 October 2018 up to 15 January 2019 (the ‘‘Comparable Review Period’’), being approximately three months prior to the entering into of the Loan Capitalisation Agreement. We have excluded (i) issues of consideration shares; (ii) issues of convertible securities; (iii) issues involving whitewash waiver; (iv) issues which have subsequently been terminated or lapsed; and (v) issues of H-shares or A-shares, as these types of issues have different pricing considerations.

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL
To the best of our knowledge and as far as we are aware of, we have found 10 comparable issues (the ‘‘Comparables’’) that met the said criteria. We consider that the coverage of the Comparable Review Period is sufficient as the Issue Price is determined with reference to recent market practice and a prolong historical timeframe may not be indicative of current market situation and sentiments of share issues. It should be noted that comparable companies might have different principal activities, market capitalisations, profitability and financial positions as compared to those of the Company, yet the Comparables could provide general reference of the pricing of share issue under recent market environment and we consider them as an appropriate basis in assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Issue Price.
We have compared the premium or discount of its issue/subscription price to (i) the closing price on the last trading day or the day immediately prior to the date of the announcement; (ii) the average closing price for the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the respective announcement; and (iii) the average closing price for the ten consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the respective announcement.

The Issue Price is within the range of those of the Comparables.
Conclusion
Considered that the Issue Price was arrived after arm’s length negotiation and the Capitalisation Shares are issued at a premium over the closing or average share price on the last trading day and five and ten consecutive trading days immediately prior to the announcement, we are of the view that the pricing of the Loan Capitalisation is on normal commercial term, fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

(1) Other than his interest in Shares disclosed in note 2 below, Mr. Tang has personal interest in 73,822,502 Shares as a beneficial owner.
-
(2) These Shares are held by Fortune Six Investment Ltd., which is wholly owned by Wing Lung Bank (Trustee) Limited as trustee for the Tang’s Family Trust (i.e. The Trust 168) through Antopex Limited and Best One International Limited (as nominees for Wing Lung Bank (Trustee) Limited).
-
(3) Other than his interest in Shares disclosed in note 4 below, Mr. Wu Yongmou has personal interest in 42,905,000 Shares as a beneficial owner. Mr. Wu Yongmou is a non-executive Director.
-
(4) These Shares are held by YongWeiDa Investment Limited, which is wholly owned by Wing Lung Bank (Trustee) Limited as trustee of the Wu’s Family Trust (i.e. The Ling Shui Family Trust) through Antopex Limited and YongDingDa Investment Limited (as nominees for Wing Lung Bank (Trustee) Limited).

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL
-
(6) Mr. Lu Yongbin has personal interest in 3,595,800 Shares as a beneficial owner. Mr. Lu Yongbin is the chief financial officer of the Company and an executive Director.
-
(7) The figures above assume that other than the Capitalisation Shares, no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company, and no Shares are sold or purchased by Mr. Tang or his associate(s), in each case on or after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date by the allotment and issue of the Capitalisation Shares.
-
(8) The percentage figures included in this table are subject to rounding adjustment.
As shown in the above table, the shareholdings of the public Shareholders will be diluted from approximately 31.4% as at the Latest Practicable Date to approximately 28.2%, immediately after the issue of the Capitalisation Shares. Mr. Tang will remain to be the controlling shareholder of the company.
Despite the dilution effect of the Loan Capitalisation, in view of (i) the benefits of entering into the Loan Capitalisation Agreement as discussed under the section headed ‘‘Reasons and benefits of the Loan Capitalisation’’; (ii) the Issue Price is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; and (iii) the Loan Capitalisation will lower the gearing ratio of the Group and hence strengthening the Group’s financial position, we consider such dilution effect to existing shareholding interest is acceptable.
6. Financial effects of the Loan Capitalisation
- (i) Effect on gearing ratio
As at 30 June 2018, the gearing ratio (as calculated based on total debt, which include interest-bearing bank borrowings and the Shareholder Loan, divided by total equity) was approximately 18.8%. Upon the Completion, the Company’s gearing ratio is expected to improve as total debt would be reduced by the amount of the Shareholder Loan.
(ii) Effect on net asset value
As shown in the 2018 Interim Report, the net asset value of the Company as at 30 June 2018 was approximately HK$329.7 million. Upon the Completion, the total liabilities of the Company will be decreased by the balance of the Shareholder Loan. Therefore, it is expected that the net asset value will increase immediately upon the Completion.
Based on the above, the Loan Capitalisation shall have a positive effect on the Group’s gearing ratio and net asset value.

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL
OPINION
We consider that the Loan Capitalisation is part of the Company’s capital management activity, which, as advised by the Company, is merely for the support of the Group’s principal activities. Therefore, we consider it is in the usual and ordinary course of business of the Group. Having taken into account the principal factors and reasons as set out above and in particular, we consider that the terms of the Loan Capitalisation Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Loan Capitalisation Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Messis Capital Limited Wallace Cheung Director
Note: Mr. Wallace Cheung is a licensed person registered with the Securities and Futures Commission and regarded as a responsible officer of Messis Capital Limited to carry out type 6 (advising on corporate finance) regulated activities under the SFO and has over 8 years of experience in corporate finance industry.
