09:10 GET NICE<00064> - Announcement (3) million at 31st December, 2002 and the spread between current bank deposit rate (currently in the range of 0.35% p.a. to 1.125% p.a.) and bank borrowing cost (currently in the range of 2.644% p.a. to 5% p.a.) is substantial, the Board is in the view that applying the unused proceeds to reduce bank borrowings is better off than placing the proceeds at bank for general working capital. The principal effect of the adjustment set out above is that the Group can be benefited from reducing bank interest expenses and thus increase the profit attributable to the Shareholders. Besides, the Reallocation enables the Group to achieve a better cash management position while the unutilized banking facilities available for general working capital and financing margin loans will be increased. The Board considers that the Reallocation will not have any effect on the development of the Group's business. The Group will continue to focus on the provision of wide ranges of financial services. Besides, the Group has always maintained adequate working capital, as indicated by the high level of net current assets (approximately HK$247.1 million at 30th September, 2002, from latest interim report) and the unutilized facilities from banks and a financial institution of approximately HK$509 million as at 13th January, 2003. The Board may reconsider the implementation of the expansion plans when the Board thinks appropriate. The Board confirms that there are no adverse changes in financial and trading information of the Group since the Company announced its interim results. The Reallocation will be subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting ("EGM"). Honeylink Agents Limited, a company beneficially owned by Mr. Hung Hon Man, the Chairman of the Company; Mr. Shum Kin Wai, Frankie and Chambray Resources Limited, a company beneficially owned by Mr. Cham Wai Ho, Anthony, both being the executive Directors of the Company, which together are interested in 75% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement, will abstain from voting in respect of their shareholding interests in the Company in the resolution for the approval of the Reallocation at the EGM. A circular, containing the details of the Reallocation, the advice of the independent financial adviser, the recommendation of the independent non-executive Directors and a notice convening the EGM of the Company will be dispatched to the Shareholders as soon as practicable.
