    SUMMARY

    The summary below is only intended to provide a limited overview of information described in more detail

    elsewhere in this offering memorandum. As it is a summary, it does not contain all of the information that may be

    important to investors and terms defined elsewhere in this offering memorandum shall have the same meanings

    when used in this Summary. Prospective investors should therefore read this offering memorandum in its entirety.

    Business Overview

    We are principally engaged in global sourcing, transportation, logistics and supply of frozen seafood

    products to the international markets, in particular to the PRC. Through our listed subsidiary, CFGL, we own,

    operate and/or manage fishing vessels, source fish from suppliers and own and operate fishmeal processing

    plants. In addition, we are one of the leading suppliers of frozen seafood to the PRC, and carry out shipping

    services by deploying our vessels to provide other fishing vessels with marine fuel, food and basic provisions. We

    are also one of the largest producers of fishmeal in the world. Furthermore, we make strategic investments inbusinesses that complement or streamline our existing operations. We are committed to meeting the growing

    needs of health and value-conscious consumers around the world.

    Fishery and Fish Supply Operations

    CFGL is one of the worlds leading upstream industrial fishing operators with access to controlled ocean

    resources through quota shares and licenses to fish, with a focus on Peruvian anchovy in Peruvian waters for

    processing into fishmeal and fish oil and horse mackerel in the North Atlantic Ocean for human consumption.

    CFGL also purchases fish supplies on a spot-basis, which comprise ocean catch fish and other marine species

    intended for human consumption. We sell our fish products principally to markets in China, and also to Japan,

    Europe and West Africa.

    Fishmeal Production Operations

    In our fishmeal production operations, we principally produce fishmeal and fish oil using anchovy that we

    harvest within Perus exclusive economic zone pursuant to quota shares or purchase from third-party fishing

    operators. After the Copeinca Acquisition, we currently operate ten processing plants, which are strategically

    located along the coast of Peru, some of which are located at secondary shipping ports to aid in the delivery of

    fish from fishing vessels, as well as the export of processed fishmeal and fish oil to customers. The primary

    export markets for our fishmeal and fish oil products are China, Germany, Taiwan and Japan.

    Frozen Fish Supply Chain Management Operations

    Due to an increasing demand for fishery products and our large distribution network in the PRC, wesource a large volume of whitefish such as Alaska pollock and codfish from international suppliers, particularly

    fishing companies operating in the North and South Pacific oceans. We own and operate seven reefer vessels with

    an aggregate capacity of 59,500 metric tons per voyage. All of these vessels are fully equipped

    with refrigerating facilities to ensure fish will be kept frozen during transportation. Where direct high sea

    transshipment of frozen fish can be carried out, we send our vessels to the fishing grounds to collect the catch

    directly from our suppliers trawlers. We collect frozen seafood products from the trawlers of our suppliers and

    then transport them in our reefer vessels to markets in China, South Korea, Africa, Europe and North America

    where we sell them directly to import/export companies or store them in bonded warehouses for further

    distribution to our customers.

    The Company

    For the year ended September 28, 2013, we had consolidated revenue of HK$8,764.1 million and

    consolidated profit attributable to owners of the Company of HK$777.3 million. As of September 28, 2013, our

    consolidated share capital and reserves were HK$14,112.9 million. For the six months ended March 28, 2014,

    we had consolidated revenue of HK$4,660.0 million and consolidated profit attributable to the owners of the

    Company of HK$277.9 million. As of March 28, 2014, our consolidated share capital and reserves were

    HK$14,309.3 million.

    History

    We commenced our business under the name Pacific Andes Enterprises (Hong Kong) Limited in 1986 andengaged in the sourcing and supply of frozen seafood products from suppliers in Taiwan, Pakistan, India and

    Uruguay for export to clients in Taiwan and Australia. In 1994, PAIH was incorporated and became the new

    holding company of the Group. The shares of PAIH were listed on SEHK on October 3, 1994. We were listed on

    the mainboard of the SGX-ST on October 4, 1996. In the 1990s, we began the direct sourcing of seafood by

    purchasing directly from trawlers owned by Russian fishing companies in the North Pacific Ocean. As volumes

    of fish sourced from Russian fishing companies increased, we began chartering our own vessels for the delivery

    of supplies directly from Russian ports to secure and reduce the costs of our fish supplies. We subsequently

    provided more agency services to Russian fishing companies by acting as their agent to represent Russian fishing

    companies. We began to enable the vessels of Russian fishing companies to operate at sea continuously and to

    increase our supply of whitefish by chartering transport vessels and tankers for delivery and supply of marine

    fuel and other supplies. Since our inception, we have continued to grow our operations by developing our

    whitefish supplies and streamlining our supply chain management operations. We have also sought out strategic

    investments that complement our existing operations.

    within the Copeinca Group, Copeinca AS, was subsequently de-listed from the Oslo Stock Exchange (Oslo Brs)

    and Lima Stock Exchange (Bolsa de Valores de Lima) in April 2014. The Copeinca Group consequently became

    wholly-owned subsidiaries of CFGL, with the ultimate goal of integrated business operations with CFGL and its

    subsidiaries (the CFGL Group).

    Previously, Copeinca had issued US$250,000,000 9.0% notes due 2017 on February 10, 2010 and January

    17, 2013, which was guaranteed by Copeinca AS (the Copeinca Notes). However, due to the Copeinca

    Acquisition and the CFGL Groups anticipated business and financing needs, CFGL has decided to undertake a

    consent solicitation with respect to the Copeinca Notes. On July 17, 2014, CFGL entered into a consent

    solicitation agreement with the participating solicitation agents, and has circulated a consent solicitation

    statement to holders of the Copeinca Notes on record as of July 16, 2014, seeking their consent for proposals thatwould:

    enable the Copeinca Group to pursue financing activities to support the expansion and growth of

    our business that may not otherwise be available to it;

    enable certain members of the CFGL Group, namely CFG Investment S.A.C. (Peru) (CFG

    Peru), China Fisheries International Limited (CFIL) and Sustainable Fishing Resources

    S.A.C. (Peru) (SFR), to support the repayment obligations of the Copeinca Notes;

    enable the Copeinca Group to support the payment obligations of certain indebtedness of CFGL

    Group; and

    better reflect CFGLs current business and operational status, as it would benefit from the

    consolidated financing platform and enhanced liquidity that would be available to us if the

    proposals are adopted.

    If, upon receipt of the requisite consent of the holders of Copeinca Notes, CFGL, CFG Peru, CFIL and

    SFR agree to provide guarantees for the repayment obligations of the Copeinca Notes, such entities will not

    become subject to the other substantive provisions of the indenture governing the Copeinca Notes or be treated as

    a parent guarantor or restricted subsidiary thereunder by virtue of giving such guarantees.

    If this consent solicitation were to receive the requisite consents from holders of the Copeinca Notes, then

    Copeinca and CFGL are expected to undertake the above activities in accordance with the consent solicitation

    statement. However, there can be no assurance that the consent solicitation will receive the requisite consents to

    permit the above to proceed.

    Purse seiner A type of decked vessel with a length of over 15

    meters. Such vessel is typically used to catch fish

    species that aggregate near the water surface. The

    vessel surrounds the shoal with a deep curtain of

    netting and then the bottom of the net is pursed

    (closed) by hauling a wire which runs from the vessel

    through rings on the bottom of the net and back to the

    vessel.

    Quota Share A share of the total allowable catch allocated to an

    operating unit such as a country, a vessel, a company

    or an individual fisherman depending on the system of

    allocation. Quotas may or may not be transferable,

    inheritable, and/or tradable. While generally used to

    allocate total allowable catch, quotas could be used

    also to allocate fishing effort or biomass.

    Recovering Fishery where catches are increasing after having been

    depleted or experienced a production decline from a

    previous high.

    Recovery rate The percentage of finished product produced from a

    whole fish.

    2010, and further updated with and renamed as a

    supply agreement on July 16, 2012, which was

    terminated in March 2014.

    Seine A type of large fishing net that hangs vertically in the

    water by attaching weights along the bottom edge and

    floats along the top. In a purse seine, along the bottom

    of the net are a number of rings. A rope passes through

    all the rings, and when pulled, draws the rings close to

    one another, preventing the fish from swimming downto escape the net. Under the purse seine fishing

    technique, the seine is set by two boats, one called a

    seiner and equipped with a wire rope on the bottom

    to draw the net together, and the other called a skiff,

    which participates in maneuvering the net around a

    school of fish. The purse seine fishing technique is

    most commonly used to catch pelagic fish.

    RISK FACTORS

    Before making an investment decision, investors should carefully consider all of the information set out in

    this offering memorandum, including the risk factors set forth below. Any of the risks described below could

    materially and adversely affect the Companys ability to satisfy its obligations, including the Bonds, and have a

    material adverse effect on the Companys business, operations and prospects. In that event, the price of the

    Bonds could decline, and investors may lose all or part of their investments in the Bonds. The risks and

    uncertainties described below are not the only risks and uncertainties the Company faces. Additional risks and

    uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems immaterial may also

    impair the Companys business operations. The risks discussed below also include forward-looking statements

    and the Companys actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking

    statements. Subheadings are for convenience only and risk factors that appear under a particular subheading

    may also apply to one or more other subheadings.

    Risks Relating to Our Businesses

    We are dependent on the performance of our non-wholly-owned subsidiary, CFGL.A majority of our revenue is generated by the commercial fishing business of our non-wholly-owned

    subsidiary, CFGL. Revenues from CFGL amounted to 49% and 54% of our total revenues for the year endedSeptember 28, 2013 and the six months ended March 28, 2014, respectively. As such, any factor or event thatadversely affects the business and results of operations of CFGL would result in a material adverse effect on ourresults of operations and financial condition.

    The amount of fish that our commercial fishing operations can catch in Peru is dependent upon our fishing

    quota shares and the total allowable catch set by Peruvian governmental authorities.

    The total allowable catch in Peru varies from season to season, and is determined at the beginning of eachanchovy season by the Ministry of Production on the advice of Peruvian authorities and with a view tomaintaining sustainable fishing. Out of that total allowable catch amount, fishermen are permitted to catch apercentage determined by the quota shares which the local Peruvian fishing authorities allocate under a quotaallocation system. Therefore, the amount of fish that our commercial fishing operations in Peru can catch in anygiven year is dependent upon the total allowable catch set by the Peruvian government, and the number of fishingquota shares that we own. This constitutes a limitation on our ability to grow our fish catches, unless the total

    allowable catch grows or we are able to gain access to additional quota shares.

    If the Peruvian government reduces or withdraws the quota shares to which we have access, our catchvolumes of anchovy and mackerel would fall, unless we are able to replace these catch volumes by placing thefishing vessels in locations, or changing our fishing to species of fish, that are not restricted by any specific quotashare system. Additionally, in southern Peru, the amount that we and other fishing operators in this region are

    able to harvest is highly unpredictable from season to season due to the migratory patterns of anchovy.Furthermore, the quota shares for each year must be used in that calendar year, and may not be carried forward to

    the next year. We cannot assure you that the relevant owners of vessels will be able to maintain the quota sharescurrently allocated to them by the local fishing authorities or that it will be possible for such vessel owners to

    acquire additional quotas. In addition, if the Peruvian fishery laws and regulations are repealed or modified in amanner that decreases the percentage of anchovy quotas allocated to the fishing vessels we own in Peru, oreliminates the quota share allocation system, our anchovy harvesting rights and profitability in Perus exclusiveeconomic zone would be adversely affected. In this regard, to protect our quota shares in Peru against changes in

    law, we entered into fish quota stability agreements with the Ministry of Production of Peru with respect to thequota shares for our vessels, which represent 16.9% of the quota for the northern and central region and 14.7%for the southern region. Under such agreements, the Ministry of Production guarantees the Peruviangovernments recognition of the individual fishing quotas granted to the covered vessels as of the respective dates

    of the agreements for at least ten years regardless of changes in Peruvian fishery laws. However, we cannotassure you that there will not be modifications to this agreement, or that this agreement will be renewed after the

    20

  • 8/11/2019 E Marlin OC Print Version 20140722 2038

    28/300

    ten-year period, both of which could affect our fishing quota. Although the individual fishing quotas in Perusexclusive economic zone are meant to be permanent, it is possible that they may be increased or reduced as aconsequence of a change in the recalculation of the maximum percentage catch per vessel. The Peruvian

    Ministry of Production recalculates the maximum percentage catch per vessel assigned to all vessels in Peru if:(i) the vessel does not exploit at least 80% of its maximum percentage catch for the northern and central zone infour consecutive seasons (no minimum requirement is applicable to the southern zone); (ii) the Ministry ofProduction grants a new fishing permit or otherwise terminates a fishing permit; or (iii) as a result of a sanction,

    the maximum percentage catch of a vessel is reduced. Peruvian fishery laws provide that a vessels maximumpercentage catch can be reduced when the harvesting of anchovy is performed by a vessel that has alreadytransferred its maximum percentage to another vessel or when the harvesting of anchovy is performed by a vesselthat is not a nominated vessel.

    The amount of fish that we can catch under our fishing quota shares is a percentage of the total allowable

    catch for a given year set by the Peruvian government. The total allowable catch of Peruvian anchovy in the

    northern and central region of Peru, which is allocated between the first fishing season (usuallyApril to July) and

    the second fishing season (usually November to January), was 6.2 million, 3.5 million and 4.4 million metric tons

    in calendar years 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. With respect to calendar year 2014, the Ministry ofProduction set a total allowable catch of anchovy in the northern and central region of Peru at approximately 2.53

    million metric tons for the first season of what is usually two seasons during the year. The first season started in

    April and will last until July 31. The total allowable catch of the second season, generally from November to

    January, has not yet been set for 2014.

    For the southern region, the Ministry of Production set a total allowable catch of anchovy for the calendar

    years 2011, 2012 and 2013 at 800,000, 700,000 and 830,000 metric tons, respectively. With respect to the

    calendar year 2014, the total allowable catch approved by the Ministry of Production for the first season from

    April to July was 230,000 metric tons. From time to time, the Peruvian government may impose fishing bans on

    selected regions in Perus exclusive economic zone, or the entire coastline. We cannot assure you that the

    Peruvian government will not decrease the total allowable catch of anchovy in Peru, impose bans on the

    harvesting of anchovy to manage anchovy biomass, or prohibit the processing of anchovy into fishmeal.

    Any reduction in our fishing quota shares, or any unexpected reductions or fluctuations in the total

    allowable catch per season in Peru, could individually or together have a material adverse effect on our business,

    results of operations and financial condition.

    We are owed refunds on our terminated Supply Agreements.

    CFGL, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CFIL, terminated all of its Supply Agreements with Perun

    and Alatir on March 21, 2014. Pursuant to the terms of the termination of these Supply Agreements, Perun and

    Alatir must deliver a fixed price refund amount (in cash payments or fish supplies) to CFIL as refund of the

    prepayments and other advances that it previously paid, which amounted to US$241.5 million under the Supply

    Agreements. As of June 30, 2014, Perun and Alatir have repaid US$80.0 million in cash of the fixed price refund

    amount to CFIL. In addition, they are required to pay the balance of US$161.5 million in headed and guttedAlaska pollock at market price, or if mutually agreed with CFIL, in cash, by March 28, 2016 under the terms of

    the termination. CFIL hold charges over shares of the Suppliers and debentures against them as security for such

    refund. However, the debentures do not grant any security with respect to any fishing vessels and may not be

    effective in securing CFILs right to payment of the refunds. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that CFIL will be

    able to recover or enforce all or any part of the refund due to it from Perun and Alatir.

    In addition, as Perun and Alatir are required to pay the refund of the outstanding balance in headed and

    gutted Alaska pollock at market price, if Perun or Alatir fail to procure sufficient fish, they may need to pay in

    cash. However, we cannot assure you that they will be able to procure sufficient funds to pay the outstanding

    balance, as fishing is their only operation. If any Supplier experiences material issues in its operations, Peruns or

    Alatirs ability to refund could be impaired. If Perun or Alatir is unable to return all or part of the refund for

    21

    29/300

    whatever reason, the results of operations and financial condition of CFGL and CFIL will be materially andadversely affected, which consequently would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations andfinancial condition.

    Our operations may be disrupted by drastic weather conditions and major climatic trends.

    Drastic weather conditions affecting the fishing grounds where the fishing vessels operate, such as storms,cyclones and typhoons, may decrease the volume of our fish catches or otherwise negatively affect our fishingoperations. Our operations may also be adversely affected by changes in sea temperatures and currents. Thesechanges cause fish to disperse from their customary depths and locations, which decreases the efficiency offishing vessels as a result of having to expend more time and fuel in harvesting fish. Our fishing operations mayalso be adversely affected by major climatic trends, which have in the past caused significant decreases incatches worldwide.

    In addition, large catch fluctuations in Perus territorial waters and exclusive economic zone and in theparts of the South Pacific Ocean in which we conduct fishing operations are common because of periodic

    climatic events associated with the El Nio phenomenon. Such events affect fishing success and productivity inthese areas. El Nio is a climatic pattern that occurs in the Pacific Ocean every three to seven years, and ischaracterized by the warming of the waters and related increase in air surface pressure in parts of the PacificOcean. For example, catches of anchovy dropped severely following El Nio conditions during each of the ElNio years, as reported by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (the NOAA), and U.S.National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service, of 1972-1973, 1976-1977, 1982-1983,1986-1987, 1991-1992, 1994-1995 and 1997-1998. Recently, El Nio occurred in 2002-2003, 2006-2007 and2009-2010. The 2009-2010 El Nio conditions resulted in a reduction of the total catch in Peru from 5.8 millionmetric tons in 2009 to 3.3 million metric tons in 2010, before recovering to 5.3 million metric tons in 2011.Because El Nio is a recurring phenomenon, our fishing success and productivity in Peru and in the South PacificOcean will be affected in future years. Additionally, in November to December of 2010, the effects of La Nia, arecurring cooling climatic pattern which results in periods of below-average sea temperatures, also reduced ourand industry catch volumes significantly. During the fishing season, the entire industry utilized less than half of

    all the fishing quota available in the northern and central zone of Peru. A reduction in our catch of anchovy orother fish species in future El Nio or La Nia years could have an adverse effect on our business, results ofoperations, financial performance and prospects.

    Margins on sales of our products may be adversely affected by the prices of these products, and revenues may

    not be sufficient to cover fixed costs.

    Prices for fishmeal, fish oil and fish products are strongly dependent upon economic conditions. Ifrevenues are not sufficient to cover fixed and variable costs, including those we may not be able to control, suchas freight and transportation costs, fuel, crew costs, repair and maintenance, finance costs and others, margins forthese products may be adversely affected. Of these, the cost of fuel, which accounted for approximately 5.2%and 4.9% of our cost of sales in the year ended September 28, 2013 and the six months ended March 28, 2014,respectively, has experienced significant price volatility due to factors outside of our control. We do not currently

    engage in any arrangements to hedge against changes in fuel costs, nor do we have any policy of maintainingstores of extra fuel. As a result, fluctuations in global oil prices may have a significant and direct impact on ourprofit margins and profitability, particularly in our South Pacific operations, which have higher transportationcosts than our other operations. We cannot assure you that oil prices will not continue to rise, or that we will beable to offset any increase by increases in the prices of our products.

    We are also affected by operating and finance costs in our fishmeal operations segment, in which areduction in catch volumes of anchovy and a reduction in utilization rates can also increase unit costs. Thesefactors are affected by the seasonality of the fishing season and the total allowable catch in Peru. In the event weare not able to control our costs, or offset increases through corresponding increases in the prices of our products,we will not be able to maintain our margins, and our results of operations and financial condition may bematerially and adversely affected.

    Our supply of whitefish, and our sales of whitefish, are affected by factors outside of our control.

    A significant amount of our revenue, approximately 49.7% and 26.3% in the year ended September 28,2013 and the six months ended March 28, 2014, respectively, has been from the sale of whitefish such as Alaska

    pollock. Our business is therefore, to a large extent
