The Holders shall, subject to compliance with the

procedures set out in the terms and conditions under the

Subscription Agreements, have the right at any time

during the conversion period to convert the whole or part

of the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible

Bonds registered in its name into the Conversion Shares

provided further that (i) any conversion shall be made in

amounts of not less than a whole multiple of

HK$5,000,000 on each conversion save that if at any

time the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the

Convertible Bonds is less than HK$5,000,000, the whole

(but not part only) of the outstanding principal amount of

requirement under the Listing Rules.

Adjustment to the conversion price

:

If the following events occur, the Initial Conversion Price

shall be adjusted:

(a) Consolidation or sub-division of the Shares

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.

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.

(b) Capitalisation of profits or reserves

If and whenever the Company shall issue (other

than in lieu of the whole or part of a cash dividend

and other than issue that would amount to a capital

distribution) any Shares credited as fully paid to the

Shareholders by way of capitalisation of profits or

reserves (including any share premium account or

capital redemption reserve fund), Shares paid up

out of distributable profits or reserves and/or share

premium account or capital redemption reserve

fund issued in lieu of the whole or any part of a

relevant cash dividend, being a scrip dividend (but

only to the extent that the market value of such

Shares exceeds 110% of the amount of such

relevant cash dividend or the relevant part thereof),

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.

- 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Each such adjustment shall be effective (if appropriate retroactively) from the commencement of the day following the record date for such issue.

  1. Capital distribution
    If and whenever the Company shall make any capital distribution to the Shareholders (in their capacity as such) (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 reduced by multiplying it by the following fraction:

A - B

A

where:

A = the market price on the date on which the capital distribution or, as the case may be, the grant is publicly announced or (failing any such announcement) the next 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 preceding day, as determined in good faith by the independent auditors, of the portion of the capital distribution or of such right which is attributable to one Share. For avoidance of doubt, if the capital distribution is distributions in cash the fair market value shall be the cash value and determination by the independent auditors is not required.

Provided that (aa) if in the opinion of the independent auditors, the use of the fair market value as aforesaid produces a result which is significantly inequitable, such independent auditors 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 (bb) the provisions of this paragraph (c) 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 following the record date for the capital distribution or grant.

- 8 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. Issue of Shares for subscription by way of rights
    If and whenever the Company shall offer to Shareholders new Shares for subscription by way of rights, or shall grant to Shareholders any options or warrants to subscribe for new Shares, at a price which is less than 90% 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 per share 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.
    Provided however that no such adjustment shall be made if the Company shall make a like offer or grant (as the case may be) at the same time to the Holders (subject to such exclusions or other arrangements as the Directors may deem necessary or expedient in relation to fractional entitlements or having regard to any restrictions or obligations under the laws of, or the requirements of any recognised regulatory body or any stock exchange in any territory outside Hong Kong) as if it had exercised the Conversion Rights under the Convertible Bonds registered in their names that the Holders hold out of the total principal amount of the Convertible Bonds outstanding at the time of the proposed redemption.

- 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. (aa) Issue of convertible or exchangeable securities

If and whenever the Company shall issue wholly for cash any securities which by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for or carry rights of subscription for new Shares, and the total Effective Consideration per Share (as defined in this paragraph (e) below) initially receivable for such securities is less than 90% of the market price on the date of the announcement of the terms of issue of such securities, the conversion price shall be adjusted by multiplying the conversion price in force immediately prior to the issue by a fraction of which the numerator is the number of Shares in issue immediately before the date of the issue plus the number of Shares which the total Effective Consideration receivable for the securities issued would purchase at such market price per Share and the denominator is the number of Shares in issue immediately before the date of the issue 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 initial conversion or exchange rate or subscription price.

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.

- 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. Modification of rights of convertible or exchangeable securities
    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 (e) are modified so that the total Effective Consideration per Share (as defined below) initially receivable for such securities shall be less than 90% 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 the conversion price provided that corresponding adjustment has already been made to the conversion price in respect of such an event.

- 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

For the purposes of this paragraph (e), the "total Effective Consideration" receivable for the securities issued shall be deemed to be the consideration receivable by the Company for any such securities plus the additional minimum consideration (if any) to be received by the Company upon (and assuming) the conversion or exchange thereof or the exercise of such subscription rights, and the total Effective Consideration per Share initially receivable for such securities shall be such aggregate consideration divided by the number of Shares to be issued upon (and assuming) such conversion or exchange at the initial conversion or exchange rate or the exercise of such subscription rights at the initial subscription price, in each case without any deduction for any commissions, discounts or expenses paid, allowed or incurred in connection with the issue.

  1. Issue of Shares being made wholly for cash at a price less than 90% of the market price per Share
    If and whenever the Company shall issue wholly for cash any Shares at a price per Share which is less than 90% of the market price on the date of the announcement of the terms of such issue, the conversion price shall be adjusted by multiplying the conversion price in force immediately before the date of such announcement 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 amount payable for the issue 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 number of Shares so issued.
    Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of the issue.
  2. If and whenever the Company shall issue Shares for the acquisition of asset at a total Effective Consideration per Share (as defined in this paragraph (g) below) which is less than 90% of the market price at the date of the announcement of the terms of such issue, the conversion price shall be adjusted in such manner as may be determined by the independent auditors. Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue.

Effective Consideration" shall be the aggregate

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Conversion Shares

Upon full conversion of the Convertible Bonds at the Initial Conversion Price of HK$0.018 each (subject to adjustments), a maximum of 8,444,444,444 Conversion Shares will be allotted and issued which represents:

  1. approximately 39.48% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date; and
  2. approximately 28.30% of the issued share capital of the Company as to be enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Conversion Shares (assuming that there is no other change to the total number of Shares from the Latest Practicable Date to the Completion Date).

Initial Conversion Price

The Initial Conversion Price of HK$0.018 (subject to adjustments) per Conversion Share represents:

  1. a premium of approximately 5.88% over the closing price of HK$0.017 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
  2. a premium of approximately 4.65% over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.0172 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five (5) consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  3. a discount of approximately 0.55% to the average closing price of approximately HK$0.0181 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last ten (10) consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day; and
  4. a discount of approximately 21.74% to the closing price of approximately HK$0.023 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date.

As the Company recorded consolidated net liabilities as at 31 March 2020, the comparison of the Initial Conversion Price with the net asset value of the Company is not applicable.

The Initial Conversion Price of HK$0.018 (subject to adjustments) per Conversion Share was arrived at after arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Subscribers with reference to the recent trading prices of the Shares. The Directors consider that the Initial Conversion Price pursuant to the Subscription Agreements and the reasons for and benefits of the Subscription are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole.

Completion

Completion shall take place at or before 4:00 p.m. on the second Business Day (or such other date as agreed by the Company and the Subscribers) after fulfilment of all the conditions precedent set out above.

Minimum public float requirement

Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Bonds, the Conversion Rights are restricted by the public float requirement under the Listing Rules. In other words, a Holder may only convert such number of Convertible Bonds into Shares which would not cause the Company to not comply with the public float requirement under the Listing Rules following the conversion.

- 14 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Before the exercise of the Conversion Rights, the Holder shall deliver a written conversion notice to the Company setting out the principal amount of Convertible Bonds to be converted into Conversion Shares. Having taken into account the Initial Conversion Price as adjusted by the occurrence of triggering events as mentioned above (if any), if the issue of the Conversion Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Conversion Rights by the Holder would result in the Company to not comply with the minimum public float requirement under the Listing Rules, then the Company shall not allow the Holder to exercise such Conversion Rights so as to maintain the minimum public float requirement, and the conversion notice shall be void.

Changes to shareholding structure of the Company as a result of the proposed issue of Conversion Shares

Set out below the shareholding structure of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, and the effect on the shareholding structure of the Company upon completion of the allotment and issue of the Conversion Shares (assuming full conversion of the Convertible Bonds into the Conversion Shares and that there is no other change in the number of issued Shares from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date when the Conversion Rights are exercised in full):

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Dilution and financial effects of the issue of the Convertible Bonds

For indicative purposes only and subject to the minimum public float requirement of the Listing Rules and the relevant restrictions under the Subscription Agreements, upon full conversion of the Convertible Bonds at the Initial Conversion Price, the Convertible Bonds will be convertible into 8,444,444,444 Shares, representing approximately 39.48% of the existing issued share capital of the Company and approximately 28.30% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the Conversion Shares upon full conversion of the Convertible Bonds.

Assuming no Outstanding Share Options being exercised and that there is no change in the number of issued Shares from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date when the Conversion Rights are exercised in full, the shareholding of the Independent Shareholders will be diluted from approximately 25.54% before full conversion of the Convertible Bonds to approximately 16.75% immediately after full conversion of the Convertible Bonds. However, as mentioned above, it has been set out in the terms of the Convertible Bonds that the Holder may only convert such number of Convertible Bonds as would not cause the Company to not comply with the minimum public float requirement under the Listing Rules following the conversion.

According to the 31 March 2020 final result of the Company, the Company recorded net liabilities of approximately HK$192,668,000 as at 31 March 2020 and loss attributable to owners of the Company amounted to approximately HK$28,094,000. Upon the Completion, the net asset value of the Company will be increased by the amount of the net proceeds. Moreover, the Shares in issue will be increased as a result of the conversion of the Convertible Bonds (if any). For indicative purpose only and subject to the minimum public float requirement of the Listing Rules and relevant restrictions under the Subscription Agreements, upon full conversion of the Conversion Bonds, the increase in the net asset value is larger than the increase in the number of Conversion Shares.

In view of (i) the reasons for and benefits of entering into the Subscription Agreements as set out below; (ii) the terms of the Subscription Agreements and the Convertible Bonds being fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole; and (iii) the minimum public float requirement of the Listing Rules and relevant restrictions under the Subscription Agreements, the Board is of the view that the feasible level of dilution (subject to the minimum public float requirement of the Listing Rules and the relevant restrictions under the Subscription Agreements) to the shareholding interests of the Independent Shareholders is acceptable.

Fund raising activities of the Company in the past 12 months

Save for the proposed issue of perpetual convertible bonds as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 25 February 2020, which was subsequently terminated and not proceeded with, the Company did not raise funds on any issue of equity securities raising activities during the past twelve months immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the Company dated 21 May 2020.

Mandate to issue the Conversion Shares

The issue and allotment of the Conversion Shares under the Specific Mandate are subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the SGM.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE PARTIES

The Group is principally engaged in (i) general trading; (ii) sales and integration services by the production of software and provision of solutions and related services; and (iii) the provision of telecommunications infrastructure solution services.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Subscribers are individual investors who are experienced in investments and the finance industry. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Subscriber A and Subscriber B are the beneficial owners of 408,216,000 Shares and 58,362,000 Shares respectively, representing approximately 1.91% and 0.27% of the existing issued share capital of the Company.

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, the Subscribers are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons as at the Latest Practicable Date and they are independent from and not acting in concert (as defined in the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers) with each other or their respective associates.

Since the Subscribers (i) are not connected persons of the Company; (ii) are not directors or substantial shareholders of the Company or their respective associates; and (iii) are independent of and not connected with the Company and its connected persons, they are regarded as public shareholders of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Based on the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreements and the Convertible Bonds, the Subscribers are not entitled to appoint any individual as a Director, whether or not the Conversion Rights have been exercised in whole or in part, save and except for the rights provided in the Bye-laws or by law for Shareholders to nominate candidates for election to the Board in accordance with the formalities requirement specified therein.

USE OF PROCEEDS FROM PROPOSED ISSUE OF THE CONVERTIBLE BONDS

The gross proceeds from the issue of the Convertible Bonds are expected to be approximately HK$152,000,000. The subscription amount payable by the Subscribers under the Subscription Agreements shall be satisfied by way of offsetting the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest under the Loans, payable by the Company to the Subscribers and/or their associates which is expected to amount to a total of HK$152,000,000 as at Completion Date.

The Loans were initially owed by the Company to Ka Chun Holdings Limited, which is indirectly wholly-owned by Mr. Lam Ching Kui, the Chairman, Executive Director and controlling shareholder of the Company, and assigned by Ka Chun Holdings Limited to the Subscribers on 9 May 2020. There is no agreement, arrangement, undertaking or understanding of any form that provides the Subscribers the right to assign the Loans back to Mr. Lam Ching Kui in the event that the Company defaults the Loans or is unable to settle the Loans by issuance of the Convertible Bonds.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENTS

As at 31 March 2020, the Group had total outstanding borrowings of approximately HK$179,141,000 (including the Loans) and the gearing ratio, which was calculated by dividing the total borrowings by the capital deficiency attributable to owners of the Company, decreased from approximately 109.98% as at 31 March 2019 to approximately 94.06% as at 31 March 2020. The Company will encounter difficulties in obtaining additional debt financing from commercial banks or financial institutions under the existing financing environment if its gearing ratio is not decreased. Any expansion plans would be limited by the Group's capacity to obtain external financing from sources other than banks or financial institutions and the Group may be required to scale back its planned expansion, which might adversely affect its ability to execute its planned growth strategy and generate revenue for its Shareholders.

In light of the above, if the Company continues to have a high gearing ratio, it will affect the Group's resistance against adverse economic condition and potentially limit the Company's ability to obtain further facilities. The Company is thus exposed to liquidity stress which might restrict its ability to make necessary capital expenditure or develop business opportunities in the future, and adversely affect its results of operations and financial position. As at 31 March 2020, the gearing ratio was approximately 94.06%. The Directors are of the view that by decreasing the gearing ratio the Company

- 17 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

could (i) strengthen its negotiation power to renew and/or obtain bank financing facilities and (ii) improve the financial position of the Group which in turn shall benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

The Board considers that the Loans which bear interest at 6.25% per annum together represent a heavy financial burden to the Group as the Company was in a net liabilities position with cash or cash equivalents in the amount of HK$12,008,000 and current liabilities in the amount of HK$77,501,000 as at 31 March 2020. In view of the above, the Board has reviewed and explored different approaches to settle the Loans (together with the accrued interest) and considered the issue of the Convertible Bonds to be the most effective and suitable for reducing the amount of interest expense incurred by the Group per annum, enhancing the financial position of the Group and reducing the gearing ratio of the Group as

  1. the Convertible Bonds bear a lower interest rate of 4% per annum and will be able to minimize the short-term financial burden to the Group; (ii) the principal amount of the Loans (together with the accrued interest) will be fully settled upon the exercise in full of the Conversion Rights without requiring any cash outflow; and (iii) the issue of the Convertible Bonds does not have an immediate dilution effect on the shareholding of the Company.

Notwithstanding the potential dilution impact to the existing Shareholders and the Independent Shareholders following the feasible maximum conversion of the Convertible Bonds as limited under its terms and conditions, in view of the aforesaid reasons and benefits of entering into the Subscription Agreements, namely that the proposed issue of the Convertible Bonds will (i) improve the financial position of the Group by offloading the burden of the Shareholder's Loan and reducing the gearing ratio of the Group; (ii) improve the profitability of the Group by saving financial costs; (iii) provide the Group with flexibility in financing in view of the distribution deferral and optional redemption features;

  1. broaden the financing channels for future expansion of the Group's business as the reduced debt level and increased book value will allow the Company to meet the loan criteria of potential lenders; and (v) minimise the Company's financing uncertainties without causing immediate dilution or potential dilution, the Directors consider that the terms of the Subscription Agreements are fair and reasonable and that the transactions contemplated thereunder are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The SGM will be held by the Company at 13/F., Admiralty Centre 2, 18 Harcourt Road, Admiralty, Hong Kong on Tuesday, 18 August 2020 at 10:30 a.m., to consider and if thought fit, to approve, among other things, the entering into of the Subscription Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
