Qihang Equipment Company Limited

Qihang Equipment Company Limited
(The "Company" or "Qihang")
Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2014
Placing, Change of Name and Resumption of Trading on AIM
Set out below are the unaudited interim results of Qihang
Equipment Company Limited for the six months ended 30 June 2014.
These results relate to the previous business of the Company which
was disposed of on 9 January 2015 following a general meeting of
the Company.
The Company, which is changing its name to Eastbridge
Investments Plc, has now adopted a new investing policyfocused on
the property and real estate sector, with the objective being to
provide shareholders with strong investment returns and a balanced
exposure to lower risk income generating assets and opportunities
that will provide a higher capital return. The Company will look to
invest in residential schemes as well as commercial, retail and
industrial property within the UK. The Directors will look to
purchase assets significantly undervalued by the current
market.
The Company's investment criteria are:
-- property investments which provide a stable, predictable and low risk income stream, with opportunities to enhance value through active management;
-- development or redevelopment opportunities where they can be
pre-let to businesses with strong rental covenants, or in order to
protect, enhance or extract additional value from existing
investments;
-- distressed property investments where opportunities arise as markets recover;
-- investment whereby an injection of new finances or specialist
management, the Company can enhance the prospects and therefore the
future value of the investment;
-- investments where the Company is able to benefit from the
Director's existing network of contacts; and
-- the potential to deliver significant returns for the Company.
Following the disposal of the previous business the Company was
left with insufficient financial resources to satisfy its new
investment policy and accordingly announces that, conditional upon
the readmission of the Company's shares to trading on AIM
("Admission") Peterhouse Corporate Finance Limited ("Peterhouse")
has completed a private placing, on behalf of the Company
("Placing") raising GBP225,000 of new funding by way of an issue of
78,071,429 new ordinary shares of 0.01 pence each ("Ordinary
Shares") at a price of 0.14 pence per share ("Placing Price") and
the issue of GBP115,700 nominal value convertible loan notes,
exercisable at the Placing Price for 3 years from the date of
issue.
In addition, the Company has, also conditional upon Admission,
agreed to issue 28,266,344 new Ordinary Shares to the holders of
the GBP50,000 nominal value convertible loan notes announced on 23
December 2014 who have served a conversion notice for their entire
holding of convertible loan notes and a further 30,266,344 new
Ordinary Shares to Wonder Employee Capital Limited in full
satisfaction of amounts owed to them (together, "Conversion
Shares").
The Company will issue Peterhouse a warrant instrument for work
in relation to the restructuring of the Company which is
exercisable over 3 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital
from time to time at the Placing Price, for a period of up to 3
years from Admission.
The Company's ordinary shares of 2.5p each were suspended from
trading on AIM on 30 September 2014 when it became apparent that it
would not be possible for the Company to publish its interim
results to 30 June 2014 in accordance with the AIM Rules. The
publication of those interim results today is the first step in
restoring trading in the Company's shares on AIM and a further
announcement will be made regarding Admission in due course.
