LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Group is principally engaged in four major business streams including (i) processing, printing and sales of finished fabrics and subcontracting services and the trading of fabric and clothing business; (ii) money lending business; (iii) securities investment and brokerage services business; and (iv) media, cultural and entertainment business.

The gross proceeds and net proceeds (after deducting all relevant expenses) from the Subscription are estimated to be approximately HK$400 million and HK$399 million respectively. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Subscription (i) as to approximately HK$349 million for repayment of the borrowings of the Group and the accrued interest due on or before January 2020; and (ii) as to approximately HK$50 million for general working capital of the Group.

The Directors consider that the Subscription represents a good opportunity for the Company to raise funds, given that (i) the Subscription can provide immediate funding to repay the Group's short term debt; (ii) the Convertible Bonds will not impose immediate dilution on the shareholding of the existing Shareholders; and (iii) if the conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Bonds are exercised, the Company's capital base will be enlarged and strengthened.

The Company has considered other financing alternatives to raise funds over the Subscription, including but not limited to, bank borrowings and equity financing. However, due to the current financial performance and position of the Group (in particular the net current liabilities position of the Group as at 30 June 2019), it would be difficult for the Group to obtain new bank borrowings. Bank borrowings may also be subject to lengthy due diligence and negotiations with the banks and the requirement to pledge certain assets of the Company acceptable to the banks. The Company proposed a placing of convertible bonds in an aggregate principal amount of HK$260,275,000 under general mandate on 30 May 2019, however such placing was lapsed on 28 June 2019 (please refer to the announcements of the Company dated 30 May 2019 and 28 June 2019 for more details). Other equity financing such as rights issue and open offer would be more time consuming and costly as compared to the Subscription. As such, the Company considers that the Subscription is the most appropriate means to raise fund at this stage.

Considering that (i) the Company intends to apply as to approximately 87.47% of the net proceeds for repayment of the borrowings of the Group and the accrued interest due in or before January 2020; (ii) the terms of the Convertible Bonds are favourable to the Company, in particular the Conversion Price, which represents a significant premium over the closing price on the date of the Subscription Agreement and a substantial premium over the unaudited consolidated net assets attributable to the Shareholders per Share as at 30 June 2019 as disclosed in the section headed "CONVERSION PRICE AND CONVERSION SHARES" above; and (iii) balancing (a) the Company's need for repayment of borrowings in the near term; (b) the material subscription amount of the Convertible Bonds with principal amount of HK$400,000,000; and (c) the current economic uncertainties, the Company considers that it is justifiable to provide a buffer to the Subscriber by two phases. As such, the Directors consider that the issue of Convertible Bonds in two phases are fair and reasonable.

- 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Further, as set out in the section headed ''3. Material Adverse Change'' under Appendix II - General Information of this circular, the Directors are of the opinion that, based on the resources currently available to the Group as at the Latest Practicable Date, in particular the cash position, and the expected net proceeds from the Subscription, the Group may not have sufficient working capital to satisfy its requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of this circular considering the general operation cost, borrowings and the accrued interest of the Group. The Company would seek for different ways of financing including but not limited to rights issue, open offer, placing of the new shares and issuance of bonds, etc. in order to meet the Group's funding needs. However, as at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the Subscription, the Company had yet to reach any concrete plan or timetable for other ways of financing for the working capital of the Group.

Having considered the above, the Directors consider that the terms of the Subscription Agreement are fair and reasonable and the entering into the Subscription Agreement is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Subscriber was the chairman, an executive Director and a substantial Shareholder of the Company who was beneficially interested in 1,556,010,000 Shares, representing approximately 20.95% of the total issued share capital of the Company. The Subscriber was therefore a connected person of the Company and the Subscription constitutes a connected transaction of the Company and is subject to the reporting, announcement, Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under the Listing Rules.

The Subscriber is considered to have material interest in the Subscription and the transactions contemplated thereunder and has abstained from voting on the board resolution(s) of the Company to approve the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including but not limited to the issue of Convertible Bonds and the Conversion Shares, and the grant of the Specific Mandate.

GENERAL

The Independent Board Committee, comprising all the independent non-executive Directors, namely Ms. Han Xingxing, Mr. Li Yu and Ms. Wong Chi Yan has been established by the Company to make a recommendation to the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including but not limited to the issue of Convertible Bonds and the Conversion Shares, and the grant of the Specific Mandate.

Messis has been appointed by the Company with the approval of the Independent Board Committee as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this regard.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Revenue

The Group's revenue showed an increase from approximately RMB150.7 million in for the year ended 31 December 2017 to approximately RMB166.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2018, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 10.1%. Based on the 2018 Annual Report, such increase was mainly contributed by the increase in revenue generated from the money lending business, securities brokerage services business and media, cultural and entertainment business. For the six months ended 30 June 2019, based on the 2019 Interim Report, the Group's revenue slightly increased by approximately 1.5% from RMB75.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2018 to RMB76.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019, primarily due to the increase in turnover of money lending business, the fabrics and trading business of approximately RMB4.3 million, partly offsetting by the overall decline in turnover of the securities brokerage business and entertainment and media business.

Gross profit/(loss) margin

For the year ended 31 December 2017, the gross profit margin was approximately 26.7%. However, the Group recorded a negative gross profit margin of approximately 58.9% for the year ended 31 December 2018. According to the 2018 Annual Report, such gross loss was due to unexpected bad performance of media, cultural and entertainment cash generating unit and the Group incurred significant expenses in cost of sales of approximately RMB263,832,000 including amortisation of intangible assets, direct staff costs, net write-down of inventories of approximately RMB56,543,000, RMB59,845,000 and RMB42,597,000 respectively. Hence, there was significant gross loss of approximately RMB97.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2018. Based on the 2019 Interim Report, the Group turned from gross loss margin to a gross profit margin of approximately 24.5% for the six months ended 30 June 2019, mainly due to the adoption of stringent cost control measures.

Loss after tax

The Group's loss after tax also experienced a significant increase, from approximately RMB123.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2017 to approximately RMB839.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2018, due to the aforementioned unexpectedly poor performance of certain business sectors and significant increase in cost of sales. For the six months ended 30 June 2019, based on the 2019 Interim Report, the Group recorded a net loss of approximately RMB138.1 million, slightly improved as compared to the net loss of approximately RMB259.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2018. The decrease in the net loss was mainly due to an absence of the recognition of impairment loss on goodwill of approximately RMB114.4 million for the acquisition of Asia Television Limited and its subsidiaries as recognsied in the same period in 2018.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Net current assets

As at 31 December 2017, the net current asset for the Group was approximately RMB489.1 million. However, the Group recorded net current liabilities of approximately RMB192.7 million as at 31 December 2018. Based on the 2018 Annual Report, such decrease was driven by the combined effect of (i) decrease in trade receivables; (ii) increase in trade payables and (iii) significant increase in short-term loans from other financial institutions. Based on the 2019 Interim Report, as at 30 June 2019, the Group recorded net current liabilities of approximately RMB302.4 million, representing an increase in net current liabilities of approximately 57.0% from approximately RMB192.7 million as at 31 December 2018 due to the repayment of loans and decrease in trade receivables during the period.

Gearing ratio

As at 31 December 2018, the gearing ratio of the Company, calculated based on total debt divided by total equity, was approximately 117.8%, representing an approximately 580.9% increase as compared to the gearing ratio of approximately 17.3% as at 31 December 2017. The gearing ratio further increased to 139.0% as at 30 June 2019.

3. Reasons for the Subscription and use of proceeds

As per the 2019 Interim Report and the management of the Group, as at 30 June 2019, the Group's short-term loans from other financial institutions and other borrowings that were repayable on or before January 2020 amounted to approximately RMB415.8 million which carried interest rates ranged from approximately 8% per annum to 30% per annum. As at 30 June 2019, the Group had dispensable cash and cash equivalents (excluding money deposited by its clients in segregated accounts) of approximately RMB28.2 million only, indicating the Group's funding need to repay its liability in the short run. As discussed above, the gearing ratio of the Company spiked up to approximately 139.0% as at 30 June 2019. According to the management of the Company, it would impose undue financial risk to the Group for obtaining further borrowings from banks and/or other financial institutions. As disclosed in the Letter from the Board, the Company intends to apply part of the net proceeds from the Subscription of approximately HK$349 million for repayment of the borrowings of the Group and the accrued interest due on or before January 2020.

The Directors are of the view that the Subscription represents a good opportunity for the Company to obtain the funding without imposing immediate dilution on the shareholding of the existing Shareholders, or at unfavourable terms given the financial condition of the Group, to enhance its working capital and strengthen its capital base. As per the management of the Group, the Company intends to utilise approximately HK$50 million of net proceeds, being the remaining proceeds for supplementing general working capital of the Group.

- 21 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Having considered that (i) the Subscription can raise immediate funding for the Group to repay its short term debt; (ii) the Subscription also represents a good opportunity for the Company to obtain the funding without imposing immediate dilution on the shareholding of the existing Shareholders, or at unfavourable terms given the financial condition of the Group, to enhance its working capital and strengthen its capital base; (iii) the Convertible Bonds with an interest rate of 6% per annum is an effective financing solution to reduce the Company's interest expenses, compared to the interest rates of the Group's short-term loans from other financial institutions and other borrowings ranged from approximately 8% per annum to 30% per annum; and (iv) the Subscription is an appropriate financing option for the Group under the current circumstances as compared with other financing alternatives (the analysis on other financing alternatives is set out in section headed "5. Other financing alternatives" below), we concur with the Directors' view that the entering into the Subscription Agreement is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole although it is not conducted in the Company's ordinary and usual course of business.

  3. a premium of approximately 72.41% over the average closing price of HK$0.058 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last thirty consecutive trading days immediately prior to date of the Subscription Agreement; and
  4. a premium of approximately 63.93% over the unaudited consolidated net assets attributable to the Shareholders per Share of approximately HK$0.061 as at 30 June 2019, calculated based on the Group's unaudited consolidated net assets attributable to the Shareholders of approximately RMB410,217,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$451,238,700) as at 30 June 2019 and 7,425,668,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

- 24 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

In considering the fairness and reasonableness of the Conversion Price, we have conducted the following analyses:

Historical price of the Shares

To evaluate the fairness and reasonableness of the Conversion Price, we have reviewed the closing price of the Shares for the period from 25 March 2019 up to and including the Latest Practicable Date (the "Review Period"), being the approximate six months period immediately preceding the date of the Subscription Agreement to illustrate the recent trading performance of the Shares. In relation to the six months period adopted in our analysis, we note that (i) it represents a reasonable period to provide a general overview of the recent price movement of the Shares which has reflected relevant information of the Group's performance; (ii) a shorter period (e.g. two months) may not sufficiently illustrate a meaningful historical trend for a proper assessment; and (iii) a longer period (e.g. twelve months) may have been too distant in time making such historical trend less relevant within the context of the Subscription and with reference to the dynamic financial markets, we consider that the Review Period of six months is fair and reasonable and representable when conducting analyses among the Conversion Price, historical closing prices of the Shares and historical trading volume of the Shares.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

During the Review Period, the Share price generally showed a downward trend and the highest closing price was HK$0.25 on 16 April 2019 while the lowest closing price was HK$0.040 from 29 to 31 October 2019. The Conversion Price of HK$0.10 is within the aforementioned range and represents a discount of approximately 60% to the highest closing price and a premium of approximately 150% to the lowest closing price during the Review Period.

From March 2019 to late May 2019, the closing prices of the Shares fluctuated in the range of HK$0.25 and HK$0.20 and reached HK$0.19 on 31 May 2019. Since then, the closing price of the Shares had been on downtrend until reaching HK$0.045 on 23 August 2019. The closing price of the Shares shot up to HK$0.071 on 28 August 2019 and decreased gradually to HK$0.054 on the date of the Subscription Agreement and the lowest level of the Review Period of HK$0.040 from 29 October 2019 to 31 October 2019. The closing price of the Shares then went up to HK$0.051 on the Latest Practicable Date. Subsequent to 31 May 2019 and up to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company issued several announcements including but not limited to (i) an announcement in relation to lapse of placing agreement on 28 June 2019; (ii) an announcement regarding a litigation in relation to a loan agreement on 30 July 2019 and relevant update announcements on 1 August 2019 and 2 September 2019 respectively; (iii) an announcement in relation to the expected significant decrease in loss on 26 August 2019; and (iv) the interim results announcement for the six months ended 30 June 2019 on 30 August 2019. According to the Directors, they were not aware of any specific events of the Company during the Review Period that caused the said movement in the Share prices.

Having considered that (i) the Conversion Price is within the range of the lowest and highest closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange during the Review Period; (ii) the Conversion Price of HK$0.10 per Conversion Share represents a premium of approximately 72.41% over the average closing price of HK$0.058 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days immediately prior to date of the Subscription Agreement; and (iii) the Conversion Price of HK$0.10 per Conversion Share represents a premium of approximately 72.41% over the average closing price of HK$0.058 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last thirty consecutive trading days immediately prior to date of the Subscription Agreement, we consider that the Conversion Price is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as whole.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The above table illustrates that during the Review Period, the average daily trading volume of the Shares was in the range of approximately 0.109% to 0.627% as to the total number of issued Shares held by the public as at the Latest Practicable Date and approximately 0.086% to 0.496% as to the total number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date. The above statistics revealed that the liquidity of the Shares was relatively low during the Review Period. Such thin trading may indicate difficulty to pursue sizeable equity financing alternatives in the stock market without providing considerable discount and/or placing/underwriting fees.

Comparable analysis

We have conducted comparable analysis through identifying 14 companies listed on the Stock Exchange which announced issue of convertible bonds/notes during the from 24 June 2019, being three months immediately preceding the date of the Subscription Agreement, to the Latest Practicable Date (the "Comparable Issues").

Our research covers announced issues of convertible bonds/notes to both connected persons and independent third parties by companies listed on the Stock Exchange during the same period. In order to examine whether the terms of the Convertible Bonds are significantly different from the comparable issues to independent third parties and to assess whether the terms of the Convertible Bonds are relatively more favourable to the connected persons as compared with independent third parties, we do not exclude the announced issues of convertible bonds/notes to independent third parties in our research. In addition, we consider that our comparable analysis would be more comprehensive and could better represent the prevailing overall market sentiments including terms determined with independent third parties.

We consider the premium to the Group's consolidated net asset value per Shares as reference only, provided that the market price is a more prevailing factor in determining the fairness and reasonableness of the Conversion Price as the market price reflects the fair value of the Shares after taking into account the market conditions and other factors. As such, we consider that using the conversion prices to market prices is a fair and reasonable approach in our analysis.

Although the Comparable Issues may have different scales when compared with the Company, after having considered (i) all of the issuers among the Comparable Issues and the Group are listed on the Stock Exchange;

  1. our analysis is mainly concerned with the principal terms of the convertible bonds/notes and we are not aware of any established evidence showing any correlation between scale of the convertible bonds/notes and its underlying principal terms; and (iii) including transactions conducted by issuers with different scales in the Comparable Issues can reflect a more comprehensive overall market sentiment in our comparable analysis, we consider that the Comparable Issues are fair and representative samples.

- 28 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Furthermore, although the Comparable Issues represent a wide range of premium and discount of the relevant conversion prices, we consider that the Comparable Issues are fair and representative samples as (i) we have purposely adopted a three-month period for the selection of the Comparable Issues which in our opinion generated a reasonable and meaningful number of samples for the purpose of our analysis; (ii) if a longer period (e.g. 6 months) is used, that would have generated way too many comparables making the analysis less meaningful with an even wider range of premium and discount of the relevant conversion prices under less prevailing market condition; and (iii) the Comparable Issues were included without any artificial selection or filtering on our part so the Comparable Issues represent a true and fair view of the recent market trends for similar transactions conducted by other Hong Kong listed issuers.

Based on the above, we are of the view that our comparable analysis based on the above criteria is meaningful for us to form our view regarding the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Convertible Bonds. To the best of our knowledge and as far as we are aware of, the Comparable Issues represent all relevant companies fitting our search criterion mentioned above, and we consider that such Comparable Issues can provide a reference on the recent issues of convertible bonds/notes given the sufficient number of transactions in such period resulting in a reasonable sample size.

It should be noted that all the subject companies involved in the Comparable Issues may have different principal activities, market capitalisation, profitability and financial position as compared with those of the Company, and the circumstances leading to the subject companies to proceed with the issues of convertible bonds/notes may also be different from that of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As illustrated in the table above, we note that the premium/(discount) to the last trading day represented by the conversion prices of the Comparable Issues ranges from a discount of approximately 19.9% to a premium of approximately 327.0%, with an average figure being a premium of approximately 54.7%. The premium of approximately 85.2% represented by the Conversion Price over the closing price of the Shares on the date of the Subscription Agreement, therefore falls within the range of the premium/(discount) to the last trading day of the Comparable Issues and is above the average figure thereof.

We note that the premium/(discount) to average closing price of the last five trading days represented by the conversion prices of the Comparable Issues ranges from a discount of approximately 19.7% to a premium of approximately 327.0%, with an average figure being a premium of approximately 63.1%. The premium of approximately 72.4% represented by the Conversion Price to the average closing price of the Shares of the last five trading days prior to date of the Subscription Agreement, therefore falls within the range of the premium/(discount) to the average closing price of the last five trading days of the Comparable Issues and is above the average figure thereof.

We also note that the premium/(discount) to average closing price of the last 30 trading days represented by the conversion prices of the Comparable Issues ranges from a discount of approximately 23.8% to a premium of approximately 338.4%, with an average figure being a premium of approximately 50.9%. The premium of approximately 72.4% represented by the Conversion Price to the average closing price of the Shares of the last 30 trading days prior to date of the Subscription Agreement, therefore falls within the range of the premium/(discount) to the average closing price of the last 30 trading days of the Comparable Issues and is above the average figure thereof.

We note that the maturity dates in respect of the Comparable Issues ranged from 0.5 year to 5 years, with an average of approximately 2.9 years. The maturity date of the Convertible Bonds, being 3 years, therefore falls within the range of the maturity dates of the Comparable Issues.

We note that the interest rates in respect of the Comparable Issues ranged from nil to 12.0% per annum, with an average of approximately 5.4% per annum. The interest rate of the Convertible Bonds, being 6.0% per annum, therefore falls within the range of the interest rates of the Comparable Issues and is close to the average interest rate of the Comparable Issues.

- 32 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As illustrated in the table above, we also conduct an analysis on the terms of the Comparable Issues to independent third parties only and note that there is no material change to the ranges and averages of premium/(discount) of the relevant conversion prices after excluding the Comparable Issues to connected person(s). And we note that the premiums represented by the Conversion Price over (i) the closing price of the Shares on the date of the Subscription Agreement; (ii) average closing price of the last five trading days; and (iii) average closing price of the last 30 trading days fall within the corresponding ranges of the premium/(discount) represented by the conversion prices of the Comparable Issues to independent third parties and are above the relevant average figures thereof. The maturity date of the Convertible Bonds, being 3 years falls within the range of the maturity dates of the Comparable Issues to independent third parties. The interest rate of the Convertible Bonds, being 6.0% per annum falls within the range of the interest rates of the Comparable Issues to independent third parties and is lower than the average interest rate thereof. Therefore, we are of the view that the terms of the Convertible Bonds are generally in line with the terms of the Comparable Issues to independent third parties.

Our view

Based on the totality of all the factors mentioned above and having considered in particular that:

  1. the premium/(discount) to the closing price of the last trading day, the average closing price of the last five and 30 consecutive days represented by the Conversion Price are within the respective ranges of Comparable Issues and are above the average thereof;
  2. the maturity period of the Convertible Bonds, being 3 years, falls within the range of the maturity period of the Comparable Issues and is in line with the average maturity period of the Comparable Issues;
  3. the interest rate of the Convertible Bonds, being 6% per annum, falls within the range of the interest rates of the Comparable Issues and is close to the average interest rate of the Comparable Issues; and

- 33 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  1. the Convertible Bonds bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum on the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Bonds, which is lower than that of the interest rates ranged from approximately 8% per annum to 30% per annum for the repayment of Group's short-term loans from other financial institutions and other borrowings, and one of the primary purposes of the issue of the Convertible Bonds is for the repayment of the loans as a significant proportion of the net proceeds therefrom will be used to repay the loans. In this sense, we are of the view that the issue of the Convertible Bonds at this interest rate of 6% per annum represents an appropriate opportunity for refinancing,

we are of the view that the Conversion Price and the interest rate of the Convertible Bonds are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

Analysis on other terms

Subject to fulfilment of the conditions precedent under the Subscription Agreement, the Completion shall take place in two phases: (i) Phase 1 Completion shall take place on the Phase 1 Completion Date in respect of the Convertible Bonds in the principal amount of HK$200,000,000; and (ii) Phase 2 Completion shall take place on the Phase 2 Completion Date in respect of the Convertible Bonds in the principal amount of HK$200,000,000. Phase 1 Completion Date and Phase 2 Completion Date will be within ten business days and within three months respectively after fulfillment of all the conditions precedent set out in the Subscription Agreement or such other date as may be agreed between the Company and the Subscriber.

Based on our research, none of the Comparable Issues has indicated in its announcement regarding bond issue that there was a similar arrangement of issuing the bonds in two phases or more. Given that the principal amount of the Convertible Bonds of HK$400 million is above the average principal amount of the Comparable Issues of approximately HK$284 million, we concur the Company's view that it is justifiable to provide a buffer to the Subscriber in two phases. As advised by the Company, the Subscriber will deliver the payment to the Company by way of cashier order or such other method as notified by the Company for 100% of the face value of the Convertible Bonds to be issued on Phase 1 Completion and Phase 2 Completion, respectively, which does not run the risk of non-payment upon the issue of the respective phase of the Convertible Bonds.

- 34 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Having considered that (i) it is justifiable to provide a buffer in two phases to the Subscriber for the Subscription given the material subscription amount of HK$400 million; (ii) the Subscriber will make the payment to the Company for 100% of the face value of the Convertible Bonds simultaneously upon the issue of Convertible Bonds on Phase 1 Completion and Phase 2 Completion, respectively; and (iii) the time difference of three months from the fulfillment of all the conditions precedent to Phase 2 Completion is relatively short considering that the Company intends to apply part of the net proceeds for repayment of the borrowings and accrued interest due on or before January 2020, we are of the view the arrangement of issuing the Convertible Bonds in two phases are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole although it is not in line with the market practice.

Having considered the above analyses, we are of the view that the terms of the Convertible Bonds are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

- 35 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

For our due diligence purpose, we have enquired and were informed by the Directors that the Company has considered various fund-raising alternatives before resolving to the Subscription, including debt financing and funds raising from capital markets (such as placing of new shares, rights issue and open offer).

In respect of debt financing, the Directors consider that (i) as the Group has recorded a net loss position for year ended 31 December 2018 and the six months ended 30 June 2019 and a net current liabilities position of the Group as at 30 June 2019, it would be difficult for the Group to obtain new borrowings from banks and/or other financial institutions; (ii) the bank loan application may be subject to lengthy due diligence and negotiations with banks; and (iii) given the size of funding needs, debt financing will inevitably incur additional interest expenses which would add burden to the Group's gearing and impose undue financial risk to the Group.

In respect of equity financing, the Company proposed a placing of convertible bonds in an aggregate principal amount of approximately HK$260,275,000 under general mandate on 30 May 2019, however the placing agreement was lapsed on 28 June 2019. The Directors consider that in view of (i) the lapse of placing agreement on 28 June 2019; (ii) the relative low liquidity of the Shares during the six months preceding the date of the Subscription Agreement; and (iii) the overall downtrend of the Shares price for the six months preceding the date of the Subscription Agreement, it would be difficult for the Group to pursue sizeable equity financing alternatives in the stock market. Alternatively, the Subscription represents immediate funding for the Company without immediate dilution of the shareholding of the existing Shareholders and the Conversion Price represented a premium of approximately 72.41% over the average closing price of HK$0.058 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last thirty consecutive trading days immediately prior to date of the Subscription Agreement.

Based on the above, we concur with the Directors' view that the Subscription is an appropriate mean of financing exercise and is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

6. Dilution effect on the shareholding structure

The following table illustrates the shareholding structure of the Company (i) as at the Latest Practicable Date; (ii) immediately after Phase 1 Completion and the issue and allotment of the Conversion Shares in principal amount of HK$200,000,000 at the initial Conversion Price; and (iii) immediately after Phase 1 Completion and Phase 2 Completion and the issue and allotment of the Conversion Shares in full as contemplated under the Subscription:

Notes:

  1. The Subscriber holds 20,622,000 Shares. Honghu Capital Co. Ltd holds 1,535,388,000 Shares and is wholly-owned by the Subscriber. Therefore, the Subscriber is beneficially interested in 1,556,010,000 Shares.
  2. For illustration purpose only. The conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Bonds shall only be exercisable as long as it does not trigger a mandatory offer obligation under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code on the part of the holders of the Convertible Bonds and any parties acting in concert with it (as defined under the Takeovers Code).

As shown in the above table, for illustrative purpose only, assuming there are no other changes in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date and up to the full conversion of the Convertible Bonds at the initial Conversion Price, the shareholdings of the existing public Shareholders will be diluted from approximately 79.05% of the issued share capital of the Company at the Latest Practicable Date to approximately 51.37% of the enlarged share capital of the Company immediately after the Phase 1 Completion and Phase 2 Completion and assuming the full conversion of the Convertible Bonds at the initial Conversion Price.

- 37 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Nevertheless, taking into account (i) the benefits and the potential prospect of the entering into of the Subscription Agreement as discussed in the section headed "3. Reasons for the Subscription and use of proceeds" above; and (ii) that the terms of the Convertible Bonds are fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned as discussed in the section headed "4. The Principal terms of the Convertible Bonds" above, we are of the view that the aforesaid dilution effect on the shareholding interests of the existing public Shareholders is justifiable.

7. Financial effects of the Subscription

  1. Effect on gearing ratio

As at 30 June 2019, the gearing ratio (as calculated based on borrowings comprising obligation under finance leases, bond payables, short-terms bank loans, short term loans from other financial institutions and other borrowings divided by Shareholders' equity) was approximately 139.0%. Upon the Completion and assuming full conversion of the Convertible Bonds, the Company's gearing ratio is expected to improve as total debt would be reduced by the amount of the net proceeds to be utilised for repayment of borrowings of the Group.

  1. Effect on Liquidity

As stated in the 2019 Interim Report, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of approximately RMB114.1 million as at 30 June 2019. Immediately upon the Completion, it is expected that the liquidity position of the Group will increase by approximately HK$400.0 million (equivalent to approximately RMB363.6 million) less related expenses and the liability portion of the Convertible Bonds will be treated as a non-current liability of the Group. Accordingly, the liquidity and working capital position of the Group will be improved upon the Completion.

  1. Effect on net asset value

As per the 2019 Interim Report, the unaudited net asset value of the Company as at 30 June 2019 was approximately RMB379.9 million. Upon the Completion, given that the Convertible Bonds when being booked into the financial statements of the Group, will consist of an equity portion and a liability portion which would require assessment and valuation by a professional valuer in accordance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, the Company is unable to assess the exact impact of the Convertible Bonds on the net asset value of the Group until reliable estimations of the value of the Convertible Bonds can be made as at the issue date.

- 38 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

On the other hand, it is expected that the net asset value of the Group will increase upon conversion of the Convertible Bonds by the Subscriber into the Conversion Shares (subject to the relevant Conversion Rights of the Convertible Bonds and applicable requirements under the Takeovers Code) as a result of the decrease in liabilities and increase in share capital.

  1. Effect on Earnings

As stated in the 2018 Annual Report, the Group recorded net loss of approximately RMB839.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2018. As the Convertible Bonds carry an interest of 6.0% per annum which is lower than that of the short-term loans from other financial institutions and other borrowings and will mature on the third anniversary of the issue date, the Directors expect that the future earnings of the Group will be enhanced due to the lower finance costs.

It should be noted that the aforementioned analyses are for illustrative purpose only and does not purport to represent how the financial position of the Company will be upon the Completion.

OPINION

Having considered the principal factors and reasons described above, we are of the opinion that (i) the terms of the Subscription Agreement are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; (ii) the Subscription is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; and (iii) the entering into the Subscription Agreement is not conducted in the Company's ordinary and usual course of business. Accordingly, we advise (i) the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders; and (ii) the Independent Shareholders, to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of

Messis Capital Limited

Director

APPENDIX I ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM TO THE CONVERSION PRICE OF THE CONVERTIBLE BONDS

The adjustment mechanism of the Conversion Price of the Convertible Bonds is set out below:

  1. The Conversion Price shall from time to time be adjusted in accordance with the following relevant provisions and so that if the event giving rise to any such adjustment shall be such as would be capable of falling within more than one of sub-paragraphs (i) to (vi) inclusive of this section shall fall within the first of the applicable paragraphs to the exclusion of the remaining paragraphs:
    1. If and whenever the Shares by reason of any consolidation or sub-division become of a different nominal amount, the Conversion Price in force immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted by multiplying it by the revised nominal amount and dividing the result by the former nominal amount so that the holders of the Convertible Bonds shall be entitled to receive the number of Shares and/or other securities of the Company which it would have held or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had such Convertible Bonds been converted immediately prior to the happening of such event, but without prejudice to the effect of any other adjustment to the Conversion Price made with effect from the date of the happening of such event or any time thereafter. Each such adjustment shall be effective from the close of business in Hong Kong on the day immediately preceding the date on which the consolidation or sub-division becomes effective.
    2. If and whenever the Company shall issue (other than in lieu of a cash dividend) any Shares credited as fully paid by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves (including any share premium account or capital redemption reserve fund), the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to such issue shall be adjusted by multiplying it by the aggregate nominal amount of the issued Shares immediately before such issue and dividing the result by the sum of such aggregate nominal amount and the aggregate nominal amount of the Shares issued in such capitalisation. Each such adjustment shall be effective (if appropriate retroactively) from the commencement of the day next following the record date for such issue.
    3. If and whenever the Company shall make any Capital Distribution (as defined in section (b)) to holders (in their capacity as such) of Shares (whether on a reduction of capital or otherwise) or shall grant to such holders rights to acquire for cash assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to such distribution or grant shall be adjusted by multiplying it by the following fraction:

A-B

A

- I-1 -

APPENDIX I ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM TO THE CONVERSION PRICE OF THE CONVERTIBLE BONDS

where:

A = the market price (as defined in section (b)) of one Share on the date on which the Capital Distribution or, as the case may be, the grant is publicly announced or (failing any such announcement) last preceding day of the Capital Distribution or, as the case may be, of the grant; and

B = the fair market value on the day of such announcement or (as the case may require) the next day, as determined in good faith by an approved financial adviser or the auditors of the Company, of the portion of the Capital Distribution or of such rights which is attributable to one Share,

provided that:

  1. if in the opinion of the relevant approved financial adviser or the auditors of the Company, the use of the fair market value as aforesaid produces a result which is significantly inequitable, it may instead determine (and in such event the above formula shall be construed as if B meant) the amount of the said market price which should properly be attributed to the value of the Capital Distribution or rights; and
  2. the provisions of this sub-paragraph (iii) shall not apply in relation to the issue of Shares paid out of profits or reserves and issued in lieu of a cash dividend.

Each such adjustment shall be effective (if appropriate retroactively) from the commencement of the day next following the record date for the Capital Distribution or grant.

  1. If and whenever the Company shall offer to holders of Shares new Shares for subscription by way of rights, open offer or shall grant to holders of Shares any options or warrants to subscribe for new Shares, at a price which is less than 80 per cent. of the market price on the date of the announcement of the terms of the offer or grant, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately before the date of the announcement of such offer or grant by a fraction of which the numerator is the number of Shares in issue immediately before the date of such announcement plus the number of Shares which the aggregate of the amount (if any) payable for the rights, options or warrants and of the amount payable for the total number of new Shares comprised therein would purchase at such market price and the denominator is the number of Shares in issue immediately before the date of such announcement plus the aggregate number of Shares offered for subscription or comprised in the options or warrants. Such adjustment shall be effective (if appropriate retroactively) from the commencement of the day next following the record date for the offer or grant.

Such adjustment shall become effective (if appropriate retroactively) from the close of business in Hong Kong on the business day next preceding whichever is the earlier of the date on which the issue is announced and the date on which the Company determines the conversion or exchange rate or subscription price.
    1. If and whenever the rights of conversion or exchange or subscription attached to any such securities as are mentioned in section (aa) of this sub-paragraph (v) are modified so that the total Effective Consideration per Share initially receivable for such securities shall be less than 80 per cent. of the market price on the date of announcement of the proposal to modify such rights of conversion or exchange or subscription, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to such modification by a fraction of which the numerator is the number of Shares in issue immediately before the date of such modification plus the number of Shares which the total Effective Consideration receivable for the securities issued at the modified conversion or exchange price would purchase at such market price and of which the denominator is the number of Shares in issue immediately before such date of modification plus the number of Shares to be issued upon conversion or exchange of or the exercise of the subscription rights conferred by such securities at the modified conversion or exchange rate or subscription price. Such adjustment shall become effective as at the date upon which such modification shall take effect. A right of conversion or exchange or subscription shall not be treated as modified for the foregoing purposes where it is adjusted to take account of rights or capitalisation issues and other events normally giving rise to adjustment of conversion or exchange terms.
