All capitalised terms used but not defined herein shall have the
same meaning ascribed to them in the Offering Letter and which are
also set out at the end of this announcement, unless expressly
provided or the context requires otherwise.
The Offering Letter will be made available for inspection at the
registered office of the Company at 1 Science Park Road, #02-09,
The Capricorn, Singapore Science Park II, Singapore 117528 during

The Indicative Timetable, Eligibility of Shareholders to
Participate in the Preferential Offering, Takeover Limits and the
Letter to the Entitled Shareholders below have been extracted
without material adjustment from the Offering Letter. Shareholders
should read this announcement in conjunction with the Offering
Letter and the Circular. The Offering Letter and the Circular
should be read carefully and in their entirety before any decision
with respect to the Preferential Offering is made.
Both the Offering Letter and the Circular contain the following
fundamental risk factor:
"As noted in the Announcement, the Heads of Agreement, the MOU,
the Supplemental Heads of Agreement and the Conditional Private
Placement Agreement are not definitive and are therefore subject to
changes and will in any event be subject to the execution of final
binding agreements. There is no certainty or assurance as at the
date of the Circular that these arrangements will be completed, or
that no changes will be made to the terms thereof. The Company will
make the necessary announcements when there are further
developments on the Heads of Agreement, the MOU, the Supplemental
Heads of Agreement, the Conditional Private Placement Agreement,
the Preferential Offering and the Revised Convertible Loan.
Shareholders are advised to read any further announcements by the
Company carefully. In particular, Shareholders should note that the
Company's ability to provide sufficient working capital for its
business and to meet its operational needs, requires these
arrangements to be completed. If for, whatever reason, they are not
then there can be no certainty that the Company will have
sufficient working capital for its present requirements. It should
also be noted that the Preferential Offering is not underwritten
and that there is no guarantee that the amount raised there under
will be sufficient for the Company's working capital needs".
Accordingly, Shareholders should consult their stock brokers,
bank managers, solicitors or other professional advisers if they
have any doubt about the actions they should take.

capable of acceptance by such persons.
6. The documents relating to the Preferential Offering will be
distributed only in Singapore and the United Kingdom. The
distribution of the documents relating to the Preferential Offering
may be prohibited or restricted (either absolutely or subject to

made in Singapore and the United Kingdom and the Offering Letter
and its accompanying documents will not be despatched to Foreign

legal requirements applicable thereto. No person in any territory
outside Singapore and the United Kingdom receiving the documents
relating to the Preferential Offering may treat the same as an
offer, invitation or solicitation to subscribe for any Preferential
Offering Shares unless such offer, invitation or solicitation could
lawfully be made without violating any regulatory or legal
requirements in those territories.

United Kingdom for the receipt of the Offering Letter and its
accompany documents; or (c) purports to exclude any deemed
representation or warranty. The Company further reserves the right
to reject any applications for the Preferential Offering Shares
where it believes, or has reason to believe, that such acceptances
and/or applications may violate the applicable legislation of any
jurisdiction.
TAKEOVER LIMITS UNDER THE SINGAPOREAN CODE ON TAKEOVERS AND
MERGERS
As this is a Preferential Offering and not a rights issue,
Entitled Shareholders will not have any pro-rata provisional
entitlements to Preferential Offering Shares. Each Entitled
Shareholder will be at liberty to apply for any number of
Preferential Offering Shares, up to a maximum of 600,000,000
Preferential Offering Shares.
The subscription for and acquisition of Shares are regulated by,
amongst other things, the Takeover Code. Except with the consent of
the SIC, where:
(a) any person acquires whether by a series of transactions over
a period of time or not, Shares which (taken together with Shares
held or acquired by persons acting in concert with them) carry 30%
or more of the voting rights in the Company; or
(b) any person who, together with persons acting in concert with
him, holds not less than 30% but not more than 50% of the voting
rights in the Company and such person, or any person acting in
concert with him, acquires in any period of six (6) months
additional Shares carrying more than 1% of the voting rights in the
Company,
such person must extend a mandatory takeover offer (the
"Mandatory Offer") immediately to the Shareholders for the Shares
other than those already owned, controlled or agreed to be acquired
by such person in accordance with the provisions of the Takeover
Code. In addition to such person, each of the principal members of
the group of persons acting in concert with him may, according to
the circumstances of the case, have the obligation to extend an
offer.
Depending on the level of subscription for the Preferential
Offering Shares, the Company will, if necessary, scale down the
subscription for the Preferential Offering Shares by any of the
Substantial Shareholder who subscribes for Preferential Offering
Shares, to avoid placing the relevant Substantial Shareholder
and/or parties acting in concert with him/her/it in the position of
incurring a mandatory general offer obligation under the Takeover
Code as a result of the other Entitled Shareholders not applying
for any Preferential Offering Shares or only applying for a small
number of Preferential Offering Shares.
Shareholders who are in doubt as to their obligations, if any,
to make a mandatory takeover offer under the Takeover Code as a
result of any subscription for the Preferential Offering Shares
under the Preferential Offering should consult the SIC and/or their
professional advisers.

Note:
(1) As of 5 November 2012, being a date used for illustrative
purposes only, Christopher Nightingale is the registered owner of 2
Shares and has a deemed interest in 950,000,664 through:
(a) Perfection Group Limited, a company which is in turn
wholly-owned by him, which holds 804,877,709 Shares, representing
approximately 42.68% of the then Total Shareholding; and
(b) several other nominees, who collectively own 145,122,955
Shares, representing approximately7.70% of the then Total
Shareholding.
(2) The figure excludes 1,922,966 treasury shares. Based on the
Unaudited Interim Financial Results ended 31 August 2012, it was
disclosed that the Total Shareholding of the Company consists of
1,610,473,974 Shares (excluding 1,922,966 treasury shares). For the
avoidance of doubt, Shareholders should note that:
(a) an additional 275,442,290 Shares were allotted (but not
issued) by the Company as part settlement for the consideration for
the purchase of patents and technology from a related party
transaction, and such number of Shares was included in the capital
reserve as the Shares had not been issued as at 31 August 2012.
Such additional Shares were only issued pursuant to the said
transaction subsequent to 31 August 2012, being the date to which
the Unaudited Interim Financial Results ended 31 August 2012 were
drawn up. Please also refer to note 11 at page 19 of the Unaudited
Interim Financial Results ended 31 August 2012 for further
information; and
(b) an aggregate of 50,000,000 Shares were allotted and issued
to an investor subsequent to 31 August 2012, being the date to
which the Unaudited Interim Financial Results ended 31 August 2012
were drawn up, at an issue price of US$0.008 per Share.
(3) On the assumption that 150,000,000 Shares are disposed of by
Christopher Nightingale pursuant to the Proposed Disposal.
(4) Under the Maximum Subscription Scenario, assuming all
600,000,000 Preferential Offering Shares are fully subscribed for
by the Subscribing Shareholder(s).
(5) Under the Minimum Subscription Scenario, assuming that none
of the 600,000,000 Preferential Offering Shares are taken up by the
Subscribing Shareholder(s), and the Preferential Offering Shares
not taken up are not offered to third parties by the Company.
(6) Assuming that Christopher Nightingale is entitled and elects
to fully convert the Revised Convertible Loan into 875,000,000
Revised Convertible Loan Shares and such conversion takes place
prior to the occurrence or completion of the Placement and Share
Option.
(7) In the event that the Proposed Disposal does not proceed,
the maximum holding of the Concert Parties under the Maximum
Subscription Scenario would be 1,825,000,666 Shares representing
54.30% of the then Total Shareholding.
(8) In the event that the Proposed Disposal does not proceed,
the maximum holding of the Concert Parties under the Minimum
Subscription Scenario would be 1,825,000,666 Shares representing
66.10% of the then Total Shareholding.
4.2 As illustrated above, it is anticipated that:
(a) the interests of the Concert Parties in the Total
Shareholding will decrease from 50.37% to 42.42% and the interests
of the other Shareholders (excluding the Concert Parties) in the
Total Shareholding will increase from 49.63% to 57.58% as a result
of the Proposed Disposal, on the assumption that 150,000,000 Shares
will be disposed of;
(b) subsequent to the completion of the Proposed Disposal:
(i) under the Maximum Subscription Scenario:
(1) the interest of the Concert Parties in the Total
Shareholding will decrease from 42.42% to 32.18% and the interests
of the other Shareholders (excluding the Concert Parties) will
increase from 57.58% to 67.82%, as a result of the completion of
the Preferential Offering; and
(2) as a result of the exercise of the Conversion Rights by
Christopher Nightingale (assuming that such exercise takes place
prior to the Placement and Share Option):
(A) the interests of the Concert Parties in the Total
Shareholding will in turn increase from 32.18% to 49.84% (being a
shareholding interest close to their current aggregate interest in
the Total Shareholding of 50.37%), resulting in them having
acquired Shares carrying more than 1% of the voting rights in the
Company in any period of six (6) months and triggered the
obligation to make a Mandatory Offer, unless such obligation is
waived by the SIC; and
(B) the interests of the other Shareholders (excluding the
Concert Parties) will be diluted from 67.82% to 50.16% (being a
shareholding interest close to their current aggregate interest in
the Total Shareholding of 49.63%).
(ii) under the Minimum Subscription Scenario:
(1) the interests of the Concert Parties and the other
Shareholders (excluding the Concert Parties) in the Total
Shareholding will remain unchanged subsequent to the close of the
Preferential Offering; and
(2) as a result of the exercise of the Conversion Rights by
Christopher Nightingale (assuming that such exercise takes place
prior to the Placement and Share Option), the interests of the
Concert Parties in the Total Shareholding will increase from 42.42%
to 60.67% and the interests of the other Shareholders (excluding
the Concert Parties) will be diluted from 57.58% to 39.33%.
(iii) in the event that the Proposed Disposal does not take
place (assuming that the Conversion Rights are fully exercised by
Christopher Nightingale and such exercise takes place prior to the
Placement and Share Option):
(1) under the Maximum Subscription Scenario, the maximum holding
of the Concert Parties would be 1,825,000,666 Shares representing
54.30% of the Total Shareholding; and
(2) under the Minimum Subscription Scenario, the maximum holding
of the Concert Parties would be 1,825,000,666 Shares representing
66.10% of the Total Shareholding.
4.3 Please refer to paragraph 4.4 of the Circular for further
details in respect of the effects of the issue of the Revised
Convertible Loan Shares, taking into consideration the completion
and occurrence / non-occurrence of the Proposed Disposal,
Preferential Offering, Placement and Share Option.
5. PURPOSE OF THE PREFERENTIAL OFFERING AND USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company expects to receive net proceeds of approximately
US$4,424,000 from the Preferential Offering after deducting
professional fees and related expenses of approximately US$376,000,
on the assumption that all 600,000,000 Preferential Offering Shares
are subscribed for under the Preferential Offering. The Company
intends to use the net proceeds of approximately US$4,424,000
raised from the Preferential Offering for the general working
capital purposes of the Company and to develop the business and
technologies of the Company, particularly those in relation to the
1000 Island Project.
Pending the deployment of the proceeds for the uses mentioned
above, the proceeds may be placed as deposits with banks and/or
financial institutions or invested in short-term money market or
debt instruments and/or marketable securities or used for any other
purposes on a short-term basis as the Directors may in their
absolute discretion deem fit.
The Preferential Offering is not underwritten, in view of the
cost savings by the Company in respect of underwriting fees, and in
view of the fact that Preferential Offering Shares which are not
otherwise taken up or allotted for any reason may be offered by the
Company to third parties for subscription at the same price as the
Issue Price.
6. CURRENT TRADING
On 30 November 2012, the Company released its latest interim
figures for the six-month period ended 31 August 2012.
As the latest interim figures show, the development of the Group
and its products from the research and development phase to the
commercial phase was not easy, particularly against the background
of a changing market in the renewable energy sector.
The Company has for some time been seeking significant partners
and markets for its products and services, and such arrangements
take time to put in place. It was against this background that
trading of the Shares was suspended on 30 May 2012 pending release
of the Company's interim statement for the six months ended 29
February 2012. During that period of suspension, the Company has
been concluding its arrangements with its various new partners and
settling the Company's capital requirements for those
arrangements.
The Company has also announced, through the Announcement, its
proposed participation in the 1000 Island Project, as well as the
establishment of a potentially significant relationship with LDK,
one of the leading photovoltaic cell manufacturers in the PRC,
which has already resulted in the Company securing and performing
an approximately 9.4 million Euro contract in Germany with
Ecotecworld for the sale of photovoltaic modules to Ecotecworld.
Ecotecworld is a corporation incorporated in Germany and is
involved in the business of solar, light-emitting diode (LED), wind
and other green energy technologies. The relationship with LDK
would also enable the Company to source for photovoltaic modules,
one of the principal components of its next generation solar
products, at competitive prices from LDK.
With solar panels and cells now becoming affordable commodities,
the Company's development of its building integrated solar
technologies and solar powered eLive housing is more relevant and
competitive, particularly in those developing countries which are
the Company's target markets. Penetration of these markets will
also make it easier for the Company to sell its other products such
as lighting products.
The Company will now be focusing hard on the execution of the
Proposed Transactions and its involvement in the projects in
Indonesia and elsewhere which could see the Company create a much
stronger and more visible presence in the renewable energy
sector.
The amount of US$1,000,000 was paid to MUP by the Company in two
tranches as settlement for feasibility study fees in accordance
with the terms of the Supplemental Heads of Agreement. Both parties
have agreed to continue to work together to progress and develop
further the alternative energy based projects in Indonesia,
including but not limited to the 1000 Island Project.
There have been no significant changes to the financial or
trading positions of the Company since the despatch of the
Circular.
Your attention is drawn to the Circular setting out the salient
contents of the Announcement, particularly in relation to the
Proposed Transactions which collectively represent a series of
transactions which may have a substantial impact on the
Company.
7. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS OF THE GROUP
The following unaudited pro forma statement of net assets of the
Group (the "pro forma financial information") has been prepared to
illustrate the effect on the consolidated net assets of the Group
as if the Preferential Offering and the Revised Convertible Loan
had taken place on 31 August 2012.
The pro forma financial information has been prepared for
illustrative purposes only and, because of its nature, addresses a
hypothetical situation and does not, therefore, represent the
Group's actual financial position or results.
The pro forma financial information is based on the consolidated
net assets of the Group as at 31 August 2012, as set out in the
unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Group
for the period ended 31 August 2012, and has been prepared in a
manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by the
Company in preparing such information and on the basis set out in
the notes set out below.

------------------- ------------ ------------------- ---------- ------------------- ------------- --------------
Notes:
(1) The consolidated net assets of the Group as at 31 August
2012 have been extracted without material adjustment from the
Unaudited Interim Financial Results ended 31 August 2012.
(2) As set out in the footnote to paragraph 3.2(v) of the
Circular, as of the date of the Revised Convertible Loan Agreement,
the aggregate drawn-down amount was approximately US$4,500,000.00
and this adjustment increases the amount due under the convertible
loans to US$4,500,000. The increase in the amount of the
convertible loan has not been analysed between that relating to
debt and that relating to equity.
(3) This adjustment represents the professional costs payable by
the Company in connection with the Circular and the Offering
Letter.
(4) On the assumption that under the Minimum Subscription
Scenario, no Preferential Offering Shares are subscribed for by the
Subscribing Shareholders and Preferential Offering Shares not taken
up by the Subscribing Shareholders are not offered to third parties
by the Company.
(5) This adjustment assumes that the gross proceeds of the
Preferential Offering under the Maximum Subscription Scenario are
US$4,800,000, being 600,000,000 Preferential Offering Shares fully
subscribed for by the Subscribing Shareholder(s).
(6) No account has been taken of the financial performance of
the Group since 31 August 2012, nor of any other event save as
disclosed above.
8. FUNDAMENTAL RISK FACTOR
As noted in the Announcement, the Heads of Agreement, the MOU,
the Supplemental Heads of Agreement and the Conditional Private
Placement Agreementare not definitive and are therefore subject to
changes and will in any event be subject to the execution of final
binding agreements. There is no certainty or assurance as at the
date of the Offering Letter that these arrangements will be
completed, or that no changes will be made to the terms thereof.
The Company will make the necessary announcements when there are
further developments on the Heads of Agreement, the MOU, the
Supplemental Heads of Agreement, the Conditional Private Placement
Agreement, the Preferential Offering and the Revised Convertible
Loan. Shareholders are advised to read any further announcements by
the Company carefully. In particular, Shareholders should note that
the Company's ability to provide sufficient working capital for its
business and to meet its operational needs requires these
arrangements to be completed. If for, whatever reason, they are not
then there can be no certainty that the Company will have
sufficient working capital for its present requirements. It should
also be noted that the Preferential Offering is not underwritten
and that there is no guarantee that the amount raised thereunder
will be sufficient for the Company's working capital needs.
Accordingly, Entitled Shareholders should consult their stock
brokers, bank managers, solicitors or other professional advisors
if they have any doubt about the actions they should take.
9. ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN
As an Entitled Shareholder, you will find enclosed with the
Offering Letter an Application Form. If you wish to apply for the
Preferential Offering Shares, you should complete the accompanying
Application Form in accordance with the instructions set out in
Appendix A of the Offering Letter.
10. DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
The Directors (including those who have delegated detailed
supervision of the Offering Letter) collectively and individually

the Offering Letter and confirm that having made all reasonable
enquiries and to the best of their knowledge and belief, the
