By Sheri Kasprzak

New York, Dec. 14 - Xinhua China Ltd. said it concluded the first tranche of a $4 million private placement.

The company issued a $1.25 million secured convertible debenture to Highgate House Funds, Ltd.

The 2% debenture matures in five years and is convertible into shares at the lesser of $3.50 or the average of the three lowest closing bid prices during the 40 trading days before conversion.

The debentures are redeemable at any time at 135% of the face value plus interest.

Highgate also received warrants for 1,035,000 shares, exercisable at $3.50 each through Nov. 22, 2010.

Another $2 million of the debentures will be issued once the company files a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the remainder will be funded once the statement is declared effective.
