LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Notes:
-
(1) The loan was made available to the Borrower by the Lender under the loan agreement dated 21 November 2008 which was amended by two supplemental loan agreements dated 14 January 2011 and 11 March 2011 respectively to extend the repayment date to 14 March 2014 and to increase the interest rate from 6% to 8% per annum.
-
(2) The loan was made available to the Borrower by the Lender under the loan agreement dated 16 June 2009 which was amended by a supplemental loan agreement dated 11 March 2011 to extend the repayment date to 14 June 2014 and to increase the interest rate from 6% to 8% per annum.
-
(3) The loan was made available to the Borrower by the Lender under the loan agreement dated 4 November 2009 which was amended by a supplemental loan agreement dated 11 March 2011 to extend the repayment date to 2 November 2014 upon its maturity date and to increase the interest rate from 6% to 8% per annum.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Borrower is indebted to the Lender in aggregate of HK$170 million under the Previous Loan Facilities. The loan facilities made on 21 November 2008, 16 June 2009 and 4 November 2009 originally carried an interest rate of 6.0% per annum which was determined at the time they were advanced with reference to the then prevailing market situation and subsequently amended by three supplemental loan agreements all dated 11 March 2011 to the said respective loan facilities to increase the interest rate to 8.0% per annum. The loan facilities made on 11 January 2010 and 11 March 2011 carry an interest rate of 8.0% which was determined at the time they were advanced with reference to (i) the then Hong Kong prime lending rate as quoted by HSBC, being 5.0% per annum; and (ii) the financial position of the Borrower.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company holds an equity interest of approximately 9.15% in WYT, which is a substantial shareholder of the Borrower holding approximately 49.59% equity interest, which in turn is the major shareholder of CAP, holding approximately 3.32% of its entire issued share capital, and the Shareholder holding 2.16% equity interest. Furthermore, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, holds approximately 0.52% and approximately 1.39% interest in the Borrower and CAP, respectively. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Tang Ching Ho, the chairman and an executive Director, is also the chairman and an executive director of WYT . Mr. Chan Chun Hong, Thomas, the managing Director, is also the managing director of WYT and the chairman and managing director/chief executive officer of the Borrower and CAP, respectively. Save for the foregoing, to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors after making all reasonable enquiries, the Borrower and its ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of and not connected with the Company, its connected persons (as defined under the Listing Rules) and its subsidiaries.
Conditions of the Loan Agreement
The drawdown of the Loan Facility under the Loan Agreement is conditional upon, among others, the following conditions having been fulfilled or waived (as the case may be):
- (1) the passing of the necessary resolution(s) by the shareholders of CAP (or, where applicable, the independent shareholders of CAP) at a special general meeting of CAP to approve, inter alia, the Rights Issue and the transactions contemplated thereunder;

(3) all representations and warranties made by the Borrower in the Loan Agreement shall be valid as of the drawdown date;

The Loan Facility is secured by the following Share Charges:
-
(1) the Golden Maker Share Charge to be entered into between Brightest Investments as chargor and the Lender as chargee after fulfillment (or, waiver as the case may be) of the conditions set out in the “Conditions of the Loan Agreement” in this circular in which Brightest Investments will charge in favour of the Lender by way of a first legal charge over an aggregate of 10,000 shares of HK$1.00 in the capital of Golden Maker, being the entire issued share capital of Golden Maker, which directly holds 100% equity interest in 金億利 (東莞)房地產開發有限公司 (Golden Marker (Dongguan) Property Development Company Limited[#] ) which in turn holds the property development project in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, the PRC;
-

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
charge in favour of the Lender by way of a first legal charge over one share of US$1.00 in the capital of Onger Investments, being the entire issued share capital of Onger Investments, which currently holds 3.32% equity interest in CAP as at the Latest Practicable Date.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE LOAN FACILITY AND SHARE CHARGES
The Group is principally engaged in property investment and development in Hong Kong, management and sub-licensing of wet markets in Hong Kong and the PRC, management and sub-licensing shopping centers in Hong Kong and management of agricultural by-products wholesaling business in Hong Kong.
The Borrower together with its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the businesses of forestry and logging operations, property development in the PRC and retailing of fresh pork meat and related products. The Loan Facility granted to the Borrower under the Loan Agreement will be used by the Borrower exclusively for the financing of its subscription of Rights Shares (including excess application) under the Rights Issue proposed by CAP. The Rights Shares to be subscribed by the Borrower in the Rights Issue will be under the Onger Investments Share Charge. Based on the closing price of HK$0.151 per CAP share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 7 June 2011, the market value of the Borrower’s interest in CAP shares is estimated to be approximately HK$4 million. The Borrower also promised to the Lender that it will repay, procure or cause to be repaid, to the Lender such amount of the drawdown as exceeds the total amount payable under the Rights Issue for the Rights Shares to be received by the Borrower pursuant to the acceptance and excess application to be made under the Rights Issue no later than ten business days immediately following the date on which the results of the Rights Issue are announced by CAP. The Share Charges will be released when the Borrower repay the Loan Facility to the Lender in full.
The Company is of the view that the Golden Maker Share Charge and the Vast Time Share Charge provide sufficient security to the Company because Golden Maker and Vast Time, as mortgagors, have undertaken to the Company that:
-
(i) The mortgagors will not create any fixed or floating charge on their respective properties or assets, except for the purpose of securing indebtedness to the bankers for sums borrowed in the ordinary course of their respective business;
-
(ii) The mortgagors will not sell, transfer, lease, assign, or otherwise dispose of a material part of their respective undertaking, properties or assets (or any interest in them), or contract to do so otherwise than in the ordinary and proper course of their respective business;
-
(iii) The mortgagors will not enter into a contract or transaction except in the ordinary and proper course of their respective business on an arm’s length basis;
-
(iv) The mortgagors will not be permitted to do any act or thing in which the mortgagors may be wound up (whether voluntarily or compulsorily); and
— 9 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
- (v) The mortgagors will not issue any shares or create any new shares, except as expressly permitted by their respective articles of association.
After due and careful consideration of the financial position of the Borrower, the Lender entered into the Loan Agreement with the Borrower because (i) the Loan Agreement carries an attractive interest rate of 8.0% which is higher than the prevailing HK prime lending rate of 5.0% as quoted by HSBC. The Borrower has no history of default in interest payment since 2008 when the Company started to grant long-term loans to the Borrower; and (ii) the Borrower focuses on property development in the PRC and the majority of its capitals and funds is subject to certain restrictions of foreign exchange control and applicable laws in the PRC which can be released upon completion of respective phases of development. According to the annual reports of the Borrower, it has sufficient capital for repayment of the Loan Facility. The Board is confident of the recoverability of the Loan Facility in accordance with the Loan Agreement because (i) the Board considers the credit risk associated with the Loan Facility is relatively low owing to a good payment history of the Borrower, positive prospects of the Borrower and the Loan Facility being secured by the Share Charges; (ii) a potential gain would have arisen to the Borrower as a result of the Rights Issue; and (iii) the possible appreciation of Renminbi and properties in the PRC.
With regard to credit rating of the Borrower, the Directors have reviewed the Borrower’s annual report of the financial year ended 31 March 2011. Based on the said annual report, the asset value of the existing property portfolio of the Borrower amounted to approximately HK$850 million and its subsidiaries’ paid-up capital amounted to approximately HK$600 million. The amount of Loan Facility applied for under the Loan Agreement represents less than 15.9% of the total value of the Borrower’s property portfolio and less than a quarter of the paid-up capital of the Borrower’s subsidiaries as of the date hereof.
The Board also considers the potential gain that would have arisen to the Borrower as a result of the Rights Issue. As mentioned before, the estimated net proceeds of the Rights Issue will be approximately HK$452.2 million. On the basis of an fully-written assumption, it is expected that the Borrower could potentially record gain of approximately HK$34 million (before deduction of necessary reasonable expenses) which is calculated on the basis of (i) the book value of CAP for the financial year ended 31 December 2010; and (ii) by reference to the placing of CAP shares completed in January 2011 which generated the net proceeds of approximately HK$73.1 million and the market value of CAP shares held by the Borrower’s group companies as at 3 June 2011.
The Board also considers the possible appreciation of Renminbi and PRC properties. As supported by various market data and statistics, Renminbi hit its highest level relative to the dollar since it began trading in 1994. With inflation hitting 5% annually in China in May 2011, Renminbi has appreciated in real terms by 8% to 9% relative to the dollar during last year. Since 2005, when China adopted its managed-band system, Renminbi has appreciated about 24% in nominal terms and about 50% in real terms relative to the dollar. In accordance with the said annual report of the Borrower, the pre-sale of the first phase of the Fuzhou and Dongguan projects has commenced in October 2010 and March 2011 respectively. Up to June 2011, the Borrower’s group had sold more than 96% and 74% of residential units which were put up for sale for Fuzhou and Dongguan projects respectively. Accordingly, the sale of residential units by the Borrower’s group is satisfactory and promising. The average sales price per square meter, both Dongguan and Fuzhou district recorded an increment by approximately 20% from 2009 to 2010.
— 10 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Directors believe that the Loan Agreement, together with the Previous Loan Agreements, can generate a higher return to the Group comparing with the interest earned by making a Hong Kong dollar time deposit with financial institutions in Hong Kong and in light of the prime lending rate quoted by HSBC, the Board considers the Loan Agreement is fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms. Given the Loan Facility is secured and the Borrower indirectly owns two property development projects in Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province and Dongguan, Guangdong Province, respectively, with a total site area of approximately 3.1 million square feet which had an aggregate market value of approximately HK$850.0 million as at 31 March 2011, the Directors consider that the credit risk of the Loan Facility is relatively low. The Directors are confident of the long-term prospects of the PRC property market, which showed satisfactory performance in the recent pre-sales of the two property development projects in Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province and Dongguan, Guangdong Province.
Given the factors aforesaid, the Directors consider that the Loan Agreement and the Share Charges are on normal commercial terms and that the conditions and terms of the Loan Agreement and the Share Charges are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
The entering into of the Loan Agreement, when aggregate with the Previous Loan Facilities advanced by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the Previous Loan Agreements, constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Rule 14.06(2) of the Listing Rules and the grant of the Loan Facility by the Company is subject to the satisfaction of conditions set out under the paragraph headed “Conditions of the Loan Agreement” in the section “The Loan Agreement” in this circular. The grant of the Loan Facility by the Company also constitutes financial assistance to an affiliated company of the Company under Rule 13.16 of the Listing Rules.
FINANCIAL EFFECT ON THE GROUP
The Directors consider that there will be no significant impact on the assets, liabilities and earnings of the Group as a result of the Loan Facility.
THE SGM
A notice of the SGM is set out on pages 24 to 25 of this circular for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, among others, approving the ordinary resolution to the Loan Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. A form of proxy for use at the SGM is accompanied with this circular.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, WYT, through its subsidiary, holds approximately 2.16% equity interest in the Company, is also a substantial shareholder of the Borrower holding approximately 49.59% equity interest, and therefore, WYT and its associates will abstain from voting on the ordinary resolution to approve the Loan Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
— 11 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Pursuant to Rules 13.39(4) and 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules and the Bye-laws, the voting on all proposed resolution at the SGM will be taken by way of a poll and an announcement on the poll results will be made by the Company after the SGM.

Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the SGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be) should you so wish and in such event, the proxy form shall be deemed to be revoked.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECT OF THE GROUP
There is no change in the Group’s principal activities since 31 March 2011 (being the date on which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were made up).
The property market in Hong Kong has been stable in the first half of 2011. The public land auctions in May were well attended by major property developers. The bidding process was swift and the final bid prices were on the high side compared to general expectations. In June, more than ten major property developers submitted their tenders for two parcels of lands at Hunghom and the final prices were at the high end of the market expectation. With the improving labour market conditions, continuity inflation, limited supply of new residential units in the next few years and solid support from market demand, the prospects of the Hong Kong residential property market remain promising.
As one of the major players in the Chinese wet markets in Hong Kong, the Group will continue to focus its resources in enhancing the performance of existing portfolio of markets. With solid expertise and in-depth management experience, we will make use of our competitive edge and endeavor to secure more new contracts for the management of Chinese wet markets both in Hong Kong and the PRC.
