Date

6 September 2010

Parties

  • (a) the Company; and

  • (b) the Subscriber

The Subscriber is a private company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability and is primarily engaged in the investment of local stocks. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, and having made all reasonable enquiries, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Subscriber is interested in 419,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 29.87% of the existing issued share capital of the Company and is thus a substantial Shareholder.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR ENTERING INTO THE SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

The Group is principally engaged in the provision of brokerage services for securities, futures and insurance and margin financing.

The terms of the Supplemental Agreement were arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Subscriber.

In accordance with the Subscription Agreement, the Option Period would lapse on 6 September 2010. In view of the fact that pursuant to the Proposed Alteration, the Option itself, and the terms and conditions of the Optional Bonds shall remain unchanged, and in light of the fact that the Proposed Alteration will maintain a source for the possible non-interest bearing fund of up to HK$128 million for general working capital use of the Group in the coming 12 months and which may not bring to the Shareholders immediate dilution effect, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Supplemental Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair, reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

The resolution approving the Supplemental Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder will be taken by way of poll at the EGM and any Shareholder having a material interest in the same will be required to abstain from voting on the resolution. Furthermore, as the entering into of the Supplemental Agreement constitutes a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A the Listing Rules, the controlling Shareholders and their associates or, where there are no controlling Shareholders (as in the present case of the Company), Directors (including independent non-executive Directors) and the chief executive of the Company and their respective associates, to the extent that they hold any Share at the time of the EGM, will be required to abstain from voting on the resolution.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, and having made all reasonable enquiries, the Subscriber is interested in 419,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 29.87% of the existing issued share capital of the Company and is thus a substantial Shareholder. The Subscriber is owned as to 60% by Marvel Steed Limited and 40% by Southlead Limited. Mr. Wong Kam Fat, Tony, the chairman and the non-executive director of the Company, is the sole beneficial owner of Marvel Steed Limited, while Mr. Xia Ying Yan is the sole beneficial owner of Southlead Limited. Accordingly, the Subscriber, Marvel Steed Limited, Southlead Limited, Mr. Wong Kam Fat, Tony and Mr. Xia Ying Yan are all connected persons of the Company.

As such, the entering into of the Supplemental Agreement constitutes a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A the Listing Rules, and is therefore subject to the requirements of the reporting, announcement and approval of the Independent Shareholders by poll at the EGM under the Listing Rules.

The Subscriber and its associates, Marvel Steed Limited, Southlead Limited, Mr. Wong Kam Fat, Tony and Mr. Xia Ying Yan (to the extent that they hold any Share at the time of the EGM), who are connected persons of the Company and have material interests in the Supplemental Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereunder, are required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolution at the EGM.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Save as disclosed above, to the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, as at the Latest Practicable Date, no Shareholder (other than the Subscriber and its associates) has any material interest in the Supplemental Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and are not therefore required to abstain from voting on the resolution.

EGM

A notice convening an extraordinary general meeting of the Company to be held at 13th Floor, Sunning Plaza, 10 Hysan Avenue, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong on 25 October 2010 at 11:00 a.m. is set out on pages 21 to 22 of this circular. An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the EGM to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the Supplemental Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete and return the form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the Company’s branch registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Union Registrars Limited, at 18th Floor, Fook Lee Commercial Centre, Town Place, 33 Lockhart Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the EGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjournment thereof if you so wish.

Nuada has been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders as to whether the terms of the Supplemental Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and whether they are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and to advise the Independent Shareholders on how to vote.

Rules. The Subscriber and its associates, Marvel Steed Limited, Southlead Limited, Mr. Wong Kam Fat, Tony and Mr. Xia Ying Yan (to the extent that they hold any Share at the time of the EGM) are required to abstain from voting at the EGM.

LETTER FROM NUADA

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In formulating our opinion on the entering of the Supplemental Agreement, we have considered the following factors and reasons:

1. Reasons and benefits of entering of the Supplemental Agreement

(i) Background

Pursuant to the Company’s announcement dated 27 May 2009 and circular dated 12 June 2009 (‘‘2009 Circular’’), on 22 May 2009, the Company and the Subscriber entered into the Subscription Agreement in respect of the issuance of convertible bonds (the “Convertible Bonds”) in the principal amount of HK$128 million at an exercise price of HK$0.16 per conversion share and due on 31 December 2012 with the Option for the Subscriber to further subscribe the Optional Bonds up to a maximum principal amount of HK$128 million convertible into a maximum of 800 million Shares.

In accordance with the Subscription Agreement, the Option Period would lapse on 6 September 2010. In order to cope with the expansion of business, the Company proposes to extend the Option Period for one year from 12 months to 24 months, both commencing from the date of the Subscription Agreement became unconditional, that is, 7 September 2009 and as such, the expiry date shall be 6 September 2011.

(ii) Background of the Group

The Company is incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability. Its securities are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The Group is principally engaged in the provision of brokerage services for securities, futures and insurance and margin financing.

Issuance of convertible bonds during the year ended 31 March 2010

During the year ended 31 March 2010, the Company has issued four convertible bonds in amounts of HK$19.2 million, HK$9.8 million, HK$32 million and HK$128 million to independent third parties. All of them were zero interest and have a conversion price of HK$0.16. The closing Share price from 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010 were within the range of HK$0.24 and HK$0.56. As such, the conversion price of the above convertible bonds represents a 71.43% discount to the highest closing price of the Shares and 33.33% discount to the lowest closing price of the Shares.

Current resources

According to the annual report 2010 of the Group (‘‘Annual Report’’), as at 31 March 2010, the Group’s total current assets and current liabilities were approximately HK$655.4 million and HK$425.6 million respectively. The working capital is HK$229.9 million and the current ratio was about 1.5 times. As at 31 March 2010, the Group’s aggregate bank balances and cash amounted to approximately HK$34.1 million, representing approximately 5.20% of total current assets. The gearing ratio as at 31

– 13 –

LETTER FROM NUADA

March 2010, measured on the basis of total borrowing as a percentage of total Shareholders’ equity, was approximately 224.41%. The debt ratio, defined as total debts over total assets, was approximately 50.01%.

Reasons for entering into the Supplemental Agreement

After the financial turmoil in 2008, emerging markets in Asia become the driving force for economic recovery. Emergence of China as a world power in the global economy will bring immense opportunities to the local financial market. The Company will continue to focus on exploring further opportunities to invest in financial servicesrelated businesses that could maximize the returns to the Shareholders and to finance its securities margin loan. As stated in the above, according to the Annual Report, the Group has cash on hand of approximately HK$34.1 million as at 31 March 2010. The Directors have advised that such amount of cash are sufficient for its daily operation but would not be sufficient for its business expansion. Therefore, as the Company will continue to focus on exploring further opportunities in financial services-related businesses and the expansion of business in securities margin loan, since there is no certainty or guarantee that the current financial resource of the Group will be adequate for any appropriate investments that may be identified and materialize in the future and for the expansion of the securities margin loan, it is reasonable for the Company to seek for funding.

As stated in the Annual Report, the income generated from securities margin loan portfolio was approximately HK$16.7 million. To leverage the growth opportunity, the Group has injected more resources into the securities financing business and deepened its coverage of the customers’ need for capital. As such, we consider that the expansion of the Group’s business in securities margin loan is within its objective.

By entering into the Supplemental Agreement, if the Option is exercised, a maximum of HK$128 million will be further obtained by the Company on or before 6 September 2011 and this zero interest borrowing can help to support the Company’s expansion. Accordingly, we consider the extension in the Option Period is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

2. Optional Bonds

(i) Advantages of issuing the Optional Bonds

In the Option Period, the Subscriber can further subscribe Optional Bonds up to a maximum principal amount of HK$128 million convertible into a maximum of 800 million Shares. Suppose the Subscriber does not exercise the Option in the extended Option Period, no further fund will be obtained by the Company from the Optional Bonds. On the other hand, suppose the Subscriber does exercise the Option during the extended Option Period, then a maximum of HK$128 million will be further obtained by the Company on or before 6 September 2011. The Company will have to (i) repay the principal amount of the Optional Bonds to the Subscriber when the Optional Bonds due, if the Subscriber does not convert the Optional Bonds into Shares; or (ii) issue additional Shares due to the conversion of the Optional bonds, if the Subscriber does convert the Optional Bonds into Shares.

– 14 –

LETTER FROM NUADA

We consider that the extension in Option Period is in the interest of the Shareholders and the Company as a whole. Given the uncertainty and volatility of the market, we concur with the Board that it is important to maintain and/or enhance its cash position in order to prepare itself for possible investment opportunities and for the expansion of the securities margin loan portfolio. By entering into the Supplemental Agreement, if the Option is exercised, the Company can further obtain a maximum of HK$128 million on or before 6 September 2011. This zero interest borrowing can help to support the Company’s further expansions and investments or securities margin loan business.

The Optional Bonds is of zero interest. If the Subscriber does not convert the Optional Bonds into Shares, the Company can obtain a zero interest borrowing of at most HK$128 million, which will be repaid at the maturity date of 31 December 2012. We consider this as a cost-effective fund raising method as the zero interest Optional Bonds save the cost of borrowing from banks. If the Subscriber converts the Optional Bonds into Shares, although a dilution of the shareholdings of the Company is inevitable, this dilution can be delayed by the issuance of Optional Bonds when compare with new issue of Shares, rights issue or open offer.

(ii) Conversion Period

The length of the extension of the Option Period is one year from 12 months to 24 months. We have searched from 6 June 2010 to 6 September 2010 (the date of the Supplemental Agreement) for other companies listed on the Main Board in relation to the granting of or being granted options for the subscription of securities and known that two companies have made announcements in relation to the above and the exercise period of such options are around 3 years. As such, we consider that the extension is fair and reasonable.

(iii) Conversion Price

In order to assess the fairness of the Conversion Price, we compare the Conversion Price with the market price of the Shares. We have reviewed the movements in the trading price of the Shares during the period from 8 September 2009 to 7 September 2010 (the ‘‘Review Period’’). The closing prices of the Shares during the Review Period are set out below:

==> picture [359 x 239] intentionally omitted <==

During the Review Period, the lowest closing price was HK$0.315 per share (recorded on 12 July 2010), the highest closing price was HK$0.56 per share (recorded on 25 January 2010) and the average closing price per Share during the Review Period was approximately HK$0.418. As such, the Conversion Price represents (i) a discount of approximately 49.2% over the aforesaid lowest closing price; (ii) a discount of approximately 71.4% over the aforesaid highest closing price; and (iii) a discount of approximately 61.7% over the aforesaid average closing price.

We understand from the 2009 Circular that the conversion price of HK$0.16 of the Convertible Bonds issued to the Subscriber represents (i) a discount of approximately 64.84% to the closing price per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange of HK$0.455 on 22 May 2009, being the last day of trading in the Shares on the main board of the Stock Exchange immediately prior to the entering into of the Subscription Agreement; (ii) a discount of approximately 64.68% to the average of the closing prices of HK$0.453 per Share for the last five consecutive trading days ended on 22 May 2009, being the last day of trading in the Shares on the main board of Stock Exchange immediately prior to the entering into of the Subscription Agreement; and (iii) a discount of approximately 66.32% to the closing price per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange of HK$0.475 on the latest practicable date of the 2009 Circular.

LETTER FROM NUADA

Therefore, after considering that the conversion prices of the convertible bonds issued by the Company in the year ended 31 March 2010 are HK$0.16 and the recent market price of the Shares which the Conversion Price represents:

  • (i) a discount of approximately 59.5% over the closing price of HK$0.395 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 7 September 2010 (‘‘Last Trading Day’’);

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 60.1% over the average of the closing prices of HK$0.401 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day; and

  • (iii) a discount of approximately 59.8% over the average of the closing prices of HK$0.3985 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last ten consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day,

we consider that the Conversion Price to be fair and reasonable.

3. Potential dilution to shareholding of the Company

For illustrative purpose and assuming that no Shares are issued and/or repurchased by the Company, the shareholding of the existing Independent Shareholders will decrease from approximately 70.13% to approximately 38.07% after the full conversion of the unconverted Convertible Bonds and the Optional Bonds.

Taking into account the reasons and benefits of the Proposed Alteration, which include the fund to be raised which is interest free and the expansion of business in securities margin loan, we consider that the potential dilution to the shareholding of the existing Independent Shareholders is acceptable.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the above principal factors, we are of the opinion that the Proposed Alteration is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and to be in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we advise the Independent Shareholders, and also recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders, to vote in favour of the resolution approving the Proposed Alteration at the EGM.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Nuada Limited Kevin Chan Director
