CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the main board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

REFRESHMENT OF GENERAL MANDATE AND NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REFRESHMENT OF GENERAL MANDATE
Background of the Refreshment of General Mandate
At the Previous AGM, the Shareholders approved, among other things, an ordinary resolution to grant to the Directors the previous existing general mandate to issue, allot and deal with not more than 712,668,260 shares of the Company before the Share Consolidation (equivalent to 71,266,826 Shares), being 20% of the entire issued share capital of the Company of 3,563,341,300 shares of the Company before Share Consolidation (equivalent to 356,334,130 Shares) as at the date of the Previous AGM.
Furthermore, at the Previous SGM, the Shareholders approved, among other things, an ordinary resolution to grant to the Directors the Existing General Mandate to issue, allot and deal with not more than 85,466,826 Shares, being 20% of the entire issued share capital of the Company of 427,334,130 Shares as at the date of the Previous SGM.
From the date of the granting of the Existing General Mandate to the Latest Practicable Date, the Existing General Mandate had been utilised as to 85,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 99.45% of the aggregate number of Shares which were issued and allotted under the Existing General Mandate.
As set out in an announcement of the Company dated 18 January 2011 (the “ Announcement ”), 85,000,000 Shares were issued under the Existing General Mandate as a result of the placing of 85,000,000 Shares pursuant to the placing agreement dated 18 January 2011 (the “ Placing ”). As stated in the Announcement, the net proceeds from the Placing were approximately HK$13.70 million and the Directors intended to apply them for general working capital of the Group and/or possible investment in the future when opportunities arise.
Reasons for the Refreshment of General Mandate
The Group is principally engaged in the retails of beauty products, provision of beauty services, clinical services in Hong Kong and Macau, property investment, money lending business and securities investment in Hong Kong.
Since the granting of the Existing General Mandate at the Previous SGM, there has been no refreshment of the Existing General Mandate. Therefore, after the Placing, only 466,826 additional Shares can be issued under the Existing General Mandate. The Directors consider that there are possibilities that the Group would identify suitable investment opportunities, including but not limited to securities investment, before the next annual general meeting of the Company which may require equity financing and the issue of additional Shares exceeding the amount as allowed under the Existing General Mandate. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors had not made any decisions on any investment opportunities. The Company shall comply with the relevant disclosure requirement under the GEM Listing Rules at all times. Further announcement(s) will be made as and when appropriate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Board considers that (i) the Refreshment of General Mandate will enable the Group to conduct fund raising activities as and when opportunities arise; and (ii) granting of specific mandate is subject to the approval of the independent Shareholders which may cause undue delay if the Group wishes to carry out timely acquisitions. Although the Group may raise fund through open offer or rights issue which allow the Shareholders to maintain their respective pro-rata shareholdings in the Company, relatively longer time frame is required and such fund raising methods do not provide the Company with the flexibility to issue and allot new Shares as consideration for potential investment in the future as and when such opportunities arise. The Board considers that it is in the best interests of the Company to have additional options when considering fund raising activities in the future. The Company considers that it is important for the Company to have flexibility on conducting fund raising activities as and when opportunities arise. As such, the Refreshment of General Mandate is essential for the Group to conduct fund raising activities in a timely manner. In fact, the Company has always been assessing the capital required to support and settle partly or all of its business opportunities as well as general working capital of the Group and the possible need of funds in case if any investment opportunities arise.
In conclusion, in view of the possible future funding needs of the Group for future development and possible investment when opportunities arise, the Board considers equity financing to be an important avenue of resources to the Group since equity financing does not create any interest paying obligations on the Group and is relatively less time consuming than raising funds by way of rights issue or open offer. The Board will also consider other financing methods such as debt financing or internal cash resources to fund its future business development in appropriate circumstances.
The Directors will in any event exercise due and careful consideration when choosing the best method of financing for the Group. Given that (i) the Group may miss any funding opportunities if it cannot respond promptly to market conditions; and (ii) the Refreshment of General Mandate will provide the Group with an additional alternative and the flexibility in deciding the best financing method for its future business development, the Directors consider that the Refreshment of General Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Although the Directors have no concrete plan for exercising the Refreshment of General Mandate to issue and allot Shares at the moment, the Board believes that the Refreshment of General Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole by virtue of maintaining the financial flexibility for the Group’s future business development and opportunities of funding which may be urgent and may arise at any time.

Mr. Leung Ge On Andy, being the executive Director, held 4,200,000 Shares, representing approximately 0.80% of the total issued share capital of the Company.

An Independent Board Committee comprising Mr. Hung Anckes Yau Keung, Dr. Siu Yim Kwan, Sidney and Mr. Tsui Pui Hung, Walter (all being independent non-executive Directors) has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether the Refreshment of General Mandate is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and is in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

The Directors have confirmed, having made all reasonable enquiries, which to the best of their knowledge and belief, the information contained in the Circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or the Circular misleading.
We consider that we have been provided sufficient information to reach an informed view and to provide a reasonable basis for our recommendation. We have not, however, conducted any independent in-depth investigation into the business and affairs of the Company, or their respective subsidiaries or associates.
This letter is issued to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders solely in connection with their consideration of the Refreshment of General Mandate, and, except for its inclusion in the Circular, is not to be quoted or referred to, in whole or in part, nor shall this letter be used for any other purpose without our prior written consent.
PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED
In formulating our opinion and advice on the Refreshment of General Mandate, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:
(1) Background of the Refreshment of General Mandate
The Company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the retails of beauty products, provision of beauty services, clinical services in Hong Kong and Macau, property investment, money lending business and securities investment in Hong Kong.
At the Previous AGM, the Shareholders approved, among other things, an ordinary resolution to grant to the Directors the previous existing general mandate to issue, allot and deal with not more than 712,668,260 shares of the Company before the Share Consolidation (equivalent to 71,266,826 Shares), being 20% of the entire issued share capital of the Company of 3,563,341,300 shares of the Company before Share Consolidation (equivalent to 356,334,130 Shares) as at the date of the Previous AGM.
At the Previous SGM held on 7 December 2010, the Independent Shareholders approved, among other things, an ordinary resolution to grant to the Directors the Existing General Mandate to issue, allot and deal with not more than 85,466,826 Shares, being 20% of the entire issued share capital of the Company of 427,334,130 Shares as at the date of the Previous SGM.
- 16 -
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADvISER
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Existing General Mandate had almost been fully utilized as a result of the placing of 85,000,000 Shares (the “Placing”) to not less than six Placees in January 2011. The Company raised the net proceeds of approximately HK$13.70 million from the Placing and intended to apply such net proceeds for general working capital of the Group and/or possible investment in the future when opportunities arise. The Placing was completed on 26 January 2011. Accordingly, the Existing General Mandate has been utilized as to approximately 99.45% as at the Latest Practicable Date and only 466,826 Shares can be issued under the Existing Issue Mandate.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 526,434,130 Shares in issue. On the basis that no new Share(s) would be issued or no Share(s) being repurchased by the Company from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the SGM, the Refreshment of General Mandate would allow the Directors to issue, allot and deal with up to 105,286,826 new Shares, representing 20% of the aforesaid issued share capital of the Company.
(2) Flexibility in financing
Upon our enquiry, the Directors confirmed that the Group had approximately HK$27 million of cash and bank deposits as at 28 February 2011. The Directors consider that equity financing is an important avenue of resources to the Group since equity financing does not create any interest paying obligations on the Group and is relatively less time consuming than raising funds by way of rights issue or open offer. In addition, the Directors will in any event exercise due and careful consideration when choosing the best method of financing for the Group. We are of the view that the equity financing such as issuance of new Shares has merits over bank/debt financing to fund the Group’s capital needs as the former will not create any additional interest burden to the Company. Given the financial flexibility available to the Company as discussed above, we are of the opinion that the Refreshment of General Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
(3) Reasons of the Refreshment of General Mandate
According to the “Letter from the Board”, the Directors consider that the Refreshment of General Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole since (i) the proposed Refreshment of General Mandate will enable the Group to conduct fund raising activities as and when opportunities arise and (ii) granting of specific mandate is subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders which may cause undue delay if the Group wishes to carry out timely acquisitions.
- 17 -
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADvISER
As advised by the Directors, the Director had not made any decisions on any investment opportunities as at the Latest Practicable Date. However, the Directors consider that additional funding may still be required for financing future investment and/or business development as and when opportunities arise, which may lead to possible shortfall of the working capital requirement of the Group. We concur with the Directors’ view that it is in the best interests for the Company to have additional options when considering fund raising activities in the future. As advised by the Directors, the Company has always been assessing the capital required to support and settle partly or all of the business opportunities and scope as well as general working capital of the Group and the possible needs of funds in case of any investment opportunities arise. Although the Directors have no concrete plan for exercising the Refreshment of General Mandate to issue and allot Shares at the moment, the Directors confirm that they will in any event exercise due and careful consideration when choosing the best financing method available for the Group if the Refreshment of General Mandate is granted by the Independent Shareholders.
We consider that the equity financing through utilization of the New General Mandate (i) does not incur any interest payment obligation on the Group as compared with bank financing; (ii) is less costly and time-consuming than raising funds by way of rights issue or open offer and it is not guaranteed that the underwriter could fulfill the capital requirements of the Company; and (iii) provides the Company with the capability to capture any capital raising or prospective investment opportunity as and when it arises. Should the Group seek approval from the Independent Shareholders for granting a specific mandate for any investment which requires issue of new Shares, there is no certainty that such requisite Shareholders’ approval could be obtained in a timely manner. Furthermore, we consider that it is not the best way for the Group to incur additional bank borrowings and debt financing as the Group recorded the net loss consecutively for the past few years and the ability to obtain bank borrowings usually depends on the Company’s profitability, financial position and the then prevailing market condition. The approval of bank borrowings is also subject to lengthy due diligence and negotiations with the banks.
In view of all the above and, in particular, the importance of financing flexibility for the Company to raise funds for its future business development, we are of the view that the Refreshment of General Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADvISER
Note:
As stated in the announcement of the Company dated 8 December 2010, the Company proposed to place through a placing agent, on a best effort basis, a maximum of 85,000,000 new Shares to not less than six independent placees. However, the aforesaid placing was terminated by the Company and the placing agent on 31 December 2010.
As shown in the table above, the Company has raised an aggregate amount of net proceeds of HK$85.58 million from three fund raising exercises during the period from April 2010 to the Latest Practicable Date. Among those net proceeds raised, approximately HK$52.70 million was applied as general working capital (including deposited the fund at bank for general working of the Group and/or possible investment), HK$23.88 million for payment of the Property and HK$9 million for repayment of the mortgage in relation to existing properties. According to the latest interim report of the Company, the unaudited cash and cash equivalents of the Company was approximately HK$36.11 million and the unaudited total bank borrowings of approximately HK$59.31 million as at 30 September 2010. Despite the fact that the Group had approximately HK$27 million of cash and bank deposits as at 28 February 2011, there is no certainty that such cash resources will be sufficient for the Group’s business development and investment should the opportunities arise until the date of the next annual general meeting of the Company. Furthermore, the Board believes that the Refreshment of General Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders in the sense that it provides flexibility for the Group to raise funds for business development and investment. It is also important for the Board to obtain the New General Mandate to conduct fund raising activities in a timely manner in order to capture potential investment opportunities.
In addition, the New General Mandate will, if approved at the SGM, remain effective until the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held in accordance with Bermuda law or the Company’s Bye-Laws; or (iii) its revocation or variation by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting of the Company. Such duration is in compliance with the GEM Listing Rules.
Based on the foregoing and the next annual general meeting will not be convened until around August 2011 (which is about five months away from the Latest Practicable Date), we are of the opinion that the Refreshment of General Mandate would provide the Company with the necessary flexibility to fulfill any possible funding needs for the Group’s future business development and opportunities of funding which may be urgent and may arise at any time. Consequently, we are of the view that the Refreshment of General Mandate is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

(5) Other financing alternatives
As advised by the Directors, apart from equity financing, the Company would also consider various financing methods including bank borrowings or debt financing, such as issue of convertible bonds. However, the ability of the Company to obtain bank borrowings usually depends on the Company’s profitability, financial position and the then prevailing market condition. Furthermore, the approval of bank borrowing is subject to lengthy due diligence and negotiations with the banks. Given that the Group has recorded unaudited net loss of HK$25.43 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2010 and debt financing will incur interest burden on the Company, the Directors consider debt financing to be relatively uncertain, impracticable and time-consuming as compared to equity financing, such as placing of new Shares.
With respect to the other forms of pro-rata equity financing method such as rights issue and open offer, the Directors consider that such pro-rata equity financing would incur substantial costs in form of placing commission or underwriting commission. Although both rights issue and open offer may allow the Shareholders to maintain their respective pro-rata shareholdings in the Company, such fund raising alternatives would be relatively time consuming as compared to the equity financing through issue of new Shares under the general mandate and there would be no certainty that the Company would be able to procure favorable terms in such commercial underwriting. In addition, the negotiations between the Company and the brokerage firms in respect of underwriting exercise may be lengthy and depend on the prevailing market conditions which may or may not arrive at favorable terms for the Shareholders as a whole.
In view of the above, we consider that the Refreshment of General Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADvISER
The table above illustrates the shareholding of the existing public Shareholders would decrease from approximately 98.25% as at the Latest Practicable Date to approximately 81.88% upon full utilisation of the New General Mandate (assuming no new Share(s) being issued/no Share(s) being repurchased by the Company prior to the SGM), which represents a dilution of approximately 16.37%.
Taken into consideration that the benefits of the Refreshment of General Mandate as mentioned above and the fact that the shareholdings of all Shareholders will be diluted to the same extent upon any utilization of the New General Mandate, we consider that the potential dilution of the shareholdings of the existing public Shareholders upon the utilization of the New General Mandate is acceptable.
RECOMMENDATION
Taken into consideration the reasons for the Refreshment of General Mandate, the flexibility in financing and the fact that shareholdings of all existing public Shareholders would be diluted to the same extent upon any utilization of the New General Mandate, we are of the view that the Refreshment of General Mandate is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Shareholders, as well as the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution in relation to the Refreshment of General Mandate at the SGM.
Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of
Bridge Partners Capital Limited Monica Lin Managing Director
