If the Company issues new securities before Subscription Completion and such new securities will exceed 2% of the total number of Shares on a fully diluted basis, the conversion price shall be adjusted to the effect that the percentage of the conversion shares into which the Subscription CN can be fully converted over the total number of Shares on a fully diluted basis will be the same as such percentage as at the date of the Subscription CN Agreement.

USE OF PROCEEDS
Proceeds from the subscription of the Subscription CN of HK$105,000,000 after netting off all the administration expenses including publication of circulars will be used for financing the proposed acquisition of controlling stake in rare earth refinery and processing business in the PRC by the Group at a cash consideration of RMB380,000,000, details of the transaction are set out in the Company’s announcement dated 11 May 2011. In the event such proposed acquisition will not be completed, proceeds from the subscription of the Subscription CN will be used for financing the acquisition of potential projects in the future, and for the general working capital of the Company. As announced by the Company on 3 May 2011, the Group has entered into the MOU for the Proposed Acquisition in relation to a vanadium mining project. The Proposed Acquisition will be subject to the execution and completion of the formal sale and purchase agreement, which is conditional upon the satisfaction of certain conditions including the Group having received the relevant reserve report, feasibility study report, technical report and valuation report in respect of the vanadium mines as described in the MOU. As at the Latest Practicable Date, such reports are still under preparation and no formal sale and purchase agreement has been executed.
INFORMATION ON THE SUBSCRIBER
The Subscriber is a company incorporated with limited liability in the British Virgin Islands and is wholly-owned by Mr. Chan How Chung, Victor. The Subscriber is an investment holding company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REASONS FOR ENTERING INTO THE SUBSCRIPTION CN AGREEMENT (AS SUPPLEMENTED)
The Group is principally engaged in gamma ray irradiation services, property development, rental and sales, trading of building materials and provision of renovation services, and securities trading and investments. As stated in the 2011 annual report of the Company, the Company has been prudently, actively identifying and pursuing potential projects with immense development potentials to broaden the income base of the Group and increase shareholders’ value. The Board considers that the Group should continue to leverage its resources in exploring opportunities in industries favoured by the PRC government policies.
The Board is of the view that the subscription of the Subscription CN will further strengthen the Group’s financial position and will facilitate acquisitions of potential projects in future.
After arm’s length negotiations with the Subscriber, the Company agreed to issue and the Subscriber agreed to subscribe for Subscription CN. The subscription of the Subscription CN, which is subject to, amongst other things, the Independent Shareholders’ vote, can enable the Group to have sufficient funds together with the internal resources to be held by the Group.
The Directors consider that the Subscription CN Agreement (as amended by the Supplemental Agreement) was entered into upon normal commercial terms and its terms are fair and reasonable and are in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Company has not conducted any fund raising activities in the past twelve months before the Latest Practicable Date.

Dear Sirs/Madams,
CONNECTED TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO ISSUANCE AND SUBSCRIPTION OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
As the Subscriber is a substantial Shareholder and together with its associates, hold 918,147,585 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, representing approximately 28.62% of the total issued share capital of the Company, of which 665,097,585 Shares were held by the Subscriber, 157,550,000 Shares were held by Mr. Chan How Chung, Victor, the ultimate beneficial owner of the Subscriber, and 95,500,000 Shares were held by Kingly Profits Corporation, a company which is wholly-owned by Mr. Chan How Chung, Victor. As such, the Subscriber is a connected person of the Company, and the Transactions constitute a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Transactions are subject to reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. An SGM will be convened and held to consider and, if though fit, to approve the Transactions, including the issue of the Subscription CN and the conversion shares upon exercise of the conversion rights attached to the Subscription CN. The Subscriber and its associates shall abstain from voting to approve the Transactions at the SGM. In this regard, the Subscriber and its associates including Mr. Chan How Chung, Victor, both of whom are substantial Shareholders of the Company, and Kingly Profits Corporation, will abstain from voting at the SGM.
The Independent Board Committee, comprising all the independent non-executive Directors, Mr. Wong Hoi Kuen, Mr. Chan Chi Yuen and Mr. Hung Hing Man, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Transactions. We, Yuanta, have been appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders as to whether the terms of the Transactions are fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
BASIS OF OUR OPINION
In formulating our opinion to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders, we have relied, without assuming any responsibility for independent verification, on the statements, information, opinions and representations contained in the Circular and the information and representations provided to us by the Company, Directors and management of the Company. We have no reason to believe that any information and representations relied on by us in forming our opinion is untrue, inaccurate or misleading, nor are we aware of any material facts the omission of which would render the information provided and the representations made to us untrue, inaccurate or misleading. We have assumed that all information, opinions and representations contained or referred to in the Circular, which have been provided by the Company, Directors and management of the Company and for which they are solely and wholly responsible, were true and accurate and complete at the time when they were made and continue to be true at the date of the SGM.
– 22 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
We have assumed that all statements of belief, opinion and intention made by the Directors and management of the Company as set forth in the Circular were reasonably made after due and careful enquiries and that there are no other facts or representations, the omission of which would make any statement, information, opinion or representation in the Circular, including this letter, misleading in any material respects. We have not, however, conducted any independent investigation into the business affairs, financial position or future prospects of the Group, nor have we carried out any independent verification of the information provided by the Directors and management of the Company.
We have not commented on the merits or otherwise of the Transactions other than to form an opinion, solely from a financial point of view, as to the fairness and reasonableness of the Transactions for the purpose of making a recommendation to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders. We have not assumed any responsibility for any aspect of the work that any professional advisers have produced regarding the Transactions and we have assumed as true and accurate and not misleading any work produced by such advisers.
Our opinion is necessarily based on the financial, economic, market and other conditions in effect and the information made available to us as at the Latest Practicable Date. Shareholders should note that subsequent developments (including any material change in market and economic conditions) may affect and/or change this opinion and that we do not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this opinion.
PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED
In arriving at our opinion regarding the Transactions, we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:
A. Reasons for entering into the Subscription CN Agreement (as amended by the Supplemental Agreement)
The Group is principally engaged in gamma ray irradiation services, property development, rental and sales, trading of building materials and provision of renovation services, and securities trading and investments. As stated in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 March 2011 (the “2011 Annual Report”), the Company has been prudently, actively identifying and pursuing potential projects with immense development potentials to broaden the income base of the Group and increase the Shareholders’ value. The Board also considers that the Group should continue to leverage its resources in exploring opportunities in industries favoured by the PRC government policies.
– 23 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
As stated in the Board Letter, the Group entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement regarding the acquisition of controlling stake in a rare earth refinery and processing business in the PRC (the “ Acquisition ”) at the consideration of RMB380,000,000. The consideration for the Acquisition will be financed by the Group’s internal resources, bank financing and the proceeds from the issue of the Subscription CN. Taking into account that the cash position of the Group as at 31 March 2011 as stated in the 2011 Annual Report was approximately HK$19,757,000, the Directors consider that the issue of the Subscription CN provides an opportunity to the Group for financing the Acquisition. In the event that the Acquisition will not be completed, the Board will consider applying the proceeds from the issue of the Subscription CN to finance the Group’s acquisition of potential projects in the future and/or for the general working capital of the Group. As announced by the Company on 3 May 2011, the Group has entered into the MOU for the Proposed Acquisition in relation to a vanadium mining project. The Proposed Acquisition will be subject to the execution and completion of the formal sale and purchase agreement, which is conditional upon the satisfaction of certain conditions including the Group having received the relevant reserve report, feasibility study report, technical report and valuation report in respect of the vanadium mines as described in the MOU. As at the Latest Practicable Date, such reports are still under preparation and no formal sale and purchase agreement had been executed by the Group.
The Directors are of the view that the issue and subscription of the Subscription CN strengthens the Company’s financial position and facilitates the Acquisition. We concur with the view of the Directors and consider that the entering into the Transactions is to the benefit and in the interest of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole based on the following:
-
(i) the Transactions enable the Group to partially satisfy the financial requirement for the Acquisition in a timely matter in the event that the Acquisition is approved by the Shareholders;
-
(ii) the Transactions enable the Group to finance its acquisition of potential projects in the future such as the Proposed Acquisition in a timely matter in the event that the Acquisition is not completed; and
-
(iii) the Transactions enable the Group to reduce external financings, if any, which may require pledging of the Group’s assets to the financial institutions.
– 24 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
B. Financing alternatives available to the Group
As advised by the Directors, the Company has considered other alternative means of financing, including bank borrowings and other forms of equity financing.
As stated in the 2011 Annual Report, the secured bank borrowing of the Group as at 31 March 2011 amounted to HK$9,501,000 with the average effective interest rate of 7.313% per annum, which is higher than the interest rate of the Subscription CN of 1% per annum. In addition, we note that as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Hong Kong dollar best lending rate offered by The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited is 5% per annum (the “ Best Lending Rate ”). Since the Best Lending Rate generally represents the fair cost of capital at which companies may obtain bank loans, the interest rate of the Subscription CN of 1% is favorable to the Company as it enables the Company to obtain debt capital at a lower cost. As such, it is considered that bank borrowings will inevitably create a higher financing cost to the Group as (i) the lending interest rate of bank financing will not be attractive as compared to the coupon rate of the Subscription CN and (ii) bank borrowings may require securities for collateral.
Fund raising by way of placement of new Shares will create immediate dilution on the shareholdings of the existing Shareholders. It is also common that the investors will request the relevant placement price to be set at a discount to the prevailing market price of the Shares whereas the conversion price of the Subscription CN is set at (i) a premium of approximately 29.81% over the closing price of HK$0.2080 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day; (ii) a premium of approximately 46.66% over the average closing prices of approximately HK$0.1841 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 10 consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day; (iii) a premium of approximately 57.99% to the average of the closing prices of the Shares of approximately HK$0.1709 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 30 consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day; and (iv) a premium of approximately 631.71% to the audited net asset value per Share of approximately HK$0.0369, which is calculated based on the audited net asset value of the Company of HK$109,157,000 as at 31 March 2010 as stated in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 March 2010 (“2010 Annual Report”) divided by the Company’s total number of 2,955,681,490 issued Shares as at the Last Trading Day. Please refer to the section headed “C. Key terms of the Subscription CN” below for the detailed analysis of the conversion price of the Subscription CN.
– 25 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
Concerning fund raising through rights issue or open offer, the Directors are of the view that (i) the Shareholders’ reception of a rights issue or open offer, under which participating Shareholders have to bear a financial burden, would be uncertain; and (ii) it is not easy for the Company to engage an underwriter with underwriting commission lower than the interest rate of the Subscription CN given that the Group had recorded loss in the past three years as stated under the section headed “D. Financial effects of the Transactions” in this letter. In addition, the open offer and rights issue may require a considerable time to complete when compared with the issue of the Subscription CN. Thus, we are of the view that the substantial cost incurred in the form of underwriting commission and the longer time frame required for completion under a rights issue or open offer may not be favourable to the Company and the Independent Shareholders when compared to the issue of the Subscription CN.
Taking into account that (i) bank borrowings, if available, may create a higher financing cost to the Group; (ii) the placement price in a placement of new Shares may be set at a discount to the prevailing market price of the Shares; and (iii) rights issue and/ or open offer may take a longer time to complete and incur higher costs to the Group in the form of underwriting commission, we concur with the views of the Directors that the issue of the Subscription CN allows the Group to raise funds with relatively lower costs and sizable proceeds as compared to other aforementioned means of fund raising available to the Group and is a more favourable and acceptable mean of financing for the Acquisition given the Group’s limited financial resources. As such, we are of the view that the issue of Subscription CN are in the interest of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.
C. Key terms of the Subscription CN
Pursuant to the Subscription CN Agreement (as amended by the Supplemental Agreement), the Subscriber has agreed to subscribe for the Subscription CN in an aggregate principal amount of HK$105,000,000. Principal terms of Subscription CN are set out in the Board Letter in the Circular.
In order to evaluate the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Subscription CN, we have identified, to the best of our knowledge and as far as we are aware of, 10 transactions, from 9 September 2010 to the Last Trading Day, conducted by the other listed companies on the Stock Exchange which involved the issue of convertible bonds/notes to connected persons (the “ Comparables ”).
Shareholders should note that the businesses, operations and prospects of the Company are not the same as the Comparables and we have not conducted any investigation into the business and operations of the Comparables.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
(a) Conversion Price
The conversion price of the Subscription CN, being HK$0.27 per conversion share (the “ Conversion Price ”) (which shall in any case, from time to time, be subject to usual anti-dilution adjustments in certain events such as share consolidation, share subdivision, capital distribution and capitalization issue of profits or reserves), represents:
-
(i) a premium of approximately 17.90% to the closing price of the Shares of HK$0.2290 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date;
-
(ii) a premium of approximately 29.81% to the closing price of the Shares of HK$0.2080 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
-
(iii) a premium of approximately 46.66% to the average of the closing prices of the Shares of approximately HK$0.1841 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 10 consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
-
(iv) a premium of approximately 57.99% to the average of the closing prices of the Shares of approximately HK$0.1709 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 30 consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day; and
-
(v) a premium of approximately 631.71% to the audited net asset value per Share of approximately HK$0.0369, which is calculated based on the audited net asset value of the Company of HK$109,157,000 as at 31 March 2010 as stated in its 2010 Annual Report divided by its total number of 2,955,681,490 issued Shares as at the Last Trading Day.
The conversion price of the Comparables ranged from a discount of approximately 24.53% to a premium of approximately 29.81% with an average of a premium of 5.62% over the closing prices of their shares on the last trading day prior to/on the date of announcements in relation to the respective issues of convertible notes/bonds. The Conversion Price is hence within the said market range and considered a normal commercial term.
– 28 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
We concur with the Directors’ view that the premium of the Conversion Price over the prevailing price of the Shares demonstrates the confidence of the management of the Company and the Subscriber in the business of the Group. In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of setting the Conversion Price at HK$0.27 per Share, we also compare the Conversion Price with historical performance of the Share prices for the period since 1 November 2010 up to and including 3 May 2011, being the date of the announcement made by the Company in relation to the Transactions (the “ Review Period ”).
The below charts show the closing prices and daily trading volume of the Shares during the Review Period.

During the Review Period, the closing prices of the Shares ranged from the lowest of HK$0.123 per Share (recorded on 14 December 2010) to the highest of HK$0.208 per Share (recorded on 8 March 2011). The average closing price of the Shares for the Review Period is approximately HK$0.168 per Share. The Conversion Price is approximately 60.7% higher than the average closing price of the Shares for the Review Period. There are 89 trading dates during the Review Period, in which all of the closing prices of the Shares are below the Conversion Price.
Based on the aforementioned factors, we consider the Conversion Price is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
(b) Interest
The Subscription CN carries an interest at 1% per annum on the basis of the actual number of days that elapsed in a 360-day year. As mentioned above, having taken into account of (i) the possible less attractive lending interest rate of bank financing (if available) and (ii) the unsecured nature of the Subscription CN, the Directors consider that the issuance of the Subscription CN is the preferred method of financing to bank borrowings. The bank may offer short term bank loan with even less attractive terms in the event that the Company does not provide assets for collateral.
– 30 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
The interest rate of the Subscription CN, being 1% per annum, falls within the range of the annual interest rates of the Comparables from 0% to 8% and below the average of the aforesaid annual interest rates of 1.33%.
Based on the aforementioned factors, we consider that the 1% interest rate of the Subscription CN is fair and reasonable.
(c) Conversion
Provided that any conversion of the Subscription CN (i) does not trigger a mandatory offer obligation under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code on the part of the holder of the Subscription CN, which exercises the conversion rights of the Subscription CN, and its party(ies) acting in concert, and (ii) will not cause the public float of the Shares unable to meet the requirements under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules immediately following such conversion, the holder of the Subscription CN shall have the right at any time during the conversion period of the Subscription CN to convert the whole or part of the outstanding principal amount of the Subscription CN at the Conversion Price. Although the Subscriber might not be able to exercise the rights attached to the Subscription CN due to the above conditions, the Subscriber could instead sell a portion of its existing equity interest in the Company prior to exercising the rights attaching to the Subscription CN to ensure the above conditions are satisfied. In the event that the Subscriber decides to sell a portion of its existing equity interest in the Company, it may put pricing pressure on the price of the Shares. We have discussed with the Company and noted that the Subscriber has no intention of selling any of its equity interest in the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.
As such, we do not consider that there is any disadvantage to the Independent Shareholders in view of the restrictions on the exercising of the conversion rights save for mentioned above.
– 31 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
(d) Other terms of the Subscription CN
The maturity of the Subscription CN is three years and the Company is only obliged to redeem the outstanding principal amount of the Subscription CN on the maturity date. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Subscription CN and unless previously converted, redeemed, purchased or cancelled in accordance with such terms and conditions, the Subscription CN shall be redeemed by the Company on the maturity date at its principal amount outstanding together with all accrued and unpaid interest upon the presentation of the original of the certificate for the Subscription CN to the Company.
The Subscription CN is transferable subject to (i) the consent of the Company; and (ii) relevant approval from the Stock Exchange if so required under the Listing Rules. The Company is also not obliged to issue any conversion shares pursuant to the Subscription CN Agreement (as amended by the Supplemental Agreement), if and to the extent the issue of the relevant conversion shares would lead to an insufficient public float for the Shares (as required under the Listing Rules).
We are of the view and concur with the view of the Directors that the aforementioned terms are in line with the market practice and that the availability of such terms also provides protection to the Company for the purpose of listing compliance.
Based on the above, we concur with the Directors’ views that the terms of the Subscription CN are on normal commercial terms and fair and reasonable, and that the entering into of the Transactions are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
D. Financial effects of the Transactions

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
(a) Net asset value
As advised by the Company, the Subscription CN to be issued by the Company will be accounted for in two separate components, including a liability component and an equity component, in the Company’s balance sheet on initial recognition. The liability component will be included in the total liabilities of the Company, whereas the total assets will be increased by the net proceeds from the issue of the Subscription CN. The net effect of the aforementioned will be the increase in the equity component in the Company’s balance sheet. Accordingly, there will be positive impact on the net asset value of the Company upon the issue of the Subscription CN.
(b) Earning
The liability component of the Subscription CN will be carried out at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Only the effective interest expenses of the Subscription CN will be charged to the Company’s consolidated income statement subsequent to the completion of issue of the Subscription CN and for three years onward. The effective interest expenses of the Subscription CN will continuously be incurred by the Company until conversion and/or redemption of the Subscription CN in full. No gain or loss will be recognized in the Company’s consolidated income statement upon initial recognition, conversion or expiration of the Subscription CN.
Although the carrying interest of the Subscription CN will create negative impact on the future earnings of the Group, the issue of the Subscription CN is considered necessary in order to allow the Group to facilitate the Acquisition.
(c) Liquidity and working capital
As at 31 March 2011, the Group had cash and cash equivalent of approximately HK$19,757,000. Immediately upon completion of the issue of the Subscription CN, the Group would raise net proceeds of approximately HK$105,000,000 and the liability portion of the Subscription CN will be treated as non-current liability of the Group. Accordingly, the liquidity and working capital position of the Group will be improved immediately upon completion of the issue of the Subscription CN.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
Notes:
-
For illustration purpose only. Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription CN, any conversion of the Subscription CN shall not be exercised by the holder of the Subscription CN if, and to the extent that immediately following the conversion the relevant holder of the Subscription CN together with the parties acting in concert with it will hold or control 30% or more of the Company’s voting power or such amount of the Company’s voting power at general meetings as may trigger a mandatory general offer under the Takeovers Code and in effect at the material time (whether or not a waiver of the mandatory general offer obligation has been granted). As such this scenario will never occur as the conversion of the Subscription CN will be restricted such that any conversion of the Subscription CN will not result in the shareholding interest of the holder of the Subscription CN immediately after the exercise of the Subscription CN, together with any Shares already owned or agreed to be acquired by such holder of the Subscription CN and/or parties acting in concert with it representing 30% or more of the then issued Shares.
-
Mr. Chan How Chung, Victor is the ultimate beneficial owner of the Subscriber.
-
Kingly Profits Corporation, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and is whollyowned by Mr. Chan How Chung, Victor.
-
Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription CN, any conversion of the Subscription CN shall not be exercised by the holder of the Subscription CN if, and to the extent that immediately following the conversion the Company will be unable to meet the public float requirement (as defined in the Listing Rules) prescribed under the Listing Rules.
Full conversion of the Subscription CN would result into an issue of 388,888,888 new Shares (based on the Conversion Price), which represents approximately 13.16% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the Subscription CN Agreement; approximately 12.12% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and 10.81% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date as a result of the full conversion of the Subscription CN. Although the resulting dilution effect on the existing public Shareholders will be approximately 10.90%, the Directors still consider the Subscription CN as the preferred method of financing to bank borrowings and other forms of equity financing such as placement of new Shares, rights issue and open offer for the reasons mentioned above. We concur with the view of the Directors that the issue and subscription of the Subscription CN are in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.
