FUNDING OF THE LOANS
The Group financed the Loans with the Company’s working capital.
INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
The Group is principally engaged in distribution of watches, wholesale trading of jewellery products, mining, money lending and securities investments.
INFORMATION ON THE BORROWERS AND GUARANTOR
To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, each of the Borrowers and each of their ultimate beneficial owners are independent third parties not connected with the Company and its connected persons, and the guarantor of the Loan Agreements (where applicable) is an independent third party not connected with the Company and its connected persons.
The principal businesses of each of the corporate Borrowers are provided as follows:
Name of corporate Borrowers
Principal business
City Wise Investment Limited (Incorporated in BVI)

廣州寶長勝貿易有限公司 (Guangzhou Baochangsheng Trading Co. Ltd.*) (Incorporated in PRC)
Investment holding

REASON FOR AND BENEFITS OF GRANTING THE LOANS
The Board is of the view that the provision of the Loans by the Group constitutes a transaction of revenue nature carried out as part of its ordinary and usual course of business, generates reasonable interest income to the Group and thus is in the interests of the Group and the shareholders of the Company as a whole.
The Lender has conducted internal risk assessment before granting each of the Loans. To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, including considering the opinions and recommendations from the investment committee of the Board, all of the Borrowers have substantial investments and assets in the PRC or in Hong Kong

which support their financial capabilities to repay the Loans. Therefore, except for the Loan each granted to City Wise Investment Limited and the Borrower of the 30 November 2016 Loan Agreement due to their own circumstances, the Lenders did not request securities or collaterals when granting the respective Loans.
The Directors consider that the transactions contemplated by each of the Loan Agreements were on normal commercial terms, which were fair and reasonable having considered the current market norm in relation to similar transactions.
The Loans have been recorded as loan receivables of the Group.
THE LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
The grant of the Loans under the Loan Agreements constitutes provision of financial assistances provided by the Group within the meaning of the Listing Rules.
As the applicable percentage ratios defined in Rule 14.06 of the Listing Rules exceed 5% but less than 25%, each of the Loans constitute a discloseable transaction of the Group under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Therefore, each of the Loans shall be subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under the Listing Rules.
In addition, as the amount of the financial assistance each granted to 廣州寶長 勝貿易有限公司(Guangzhou Baochangsheng Trading Co. Ltd.) and 貴州國鼎 金實礦業有限公司 (Guizhou Guoding Gold Minerals Co. Ltd.) exceeds 8% under the assets ratio defined under Rule 14.07(1) of the Listing Rules, each of such Loan is subject to the general disclosure obligations under Rules 13.13 and 13.15 of the Listing Rules.
NON-COMPLIANCE OF LISTING RULES
Due to different interpretation of the Listing Rules regarding the disclosure requirements of provision of financial assistance and the fact that the Company did not seek legal advice before entering into the Loan Agreements, the Company did not timely, by way of an announcement, disclose the details of the Loan transactions in accordance with and thus constitute non-compliances with Rules 13.13, 13.15 and 14.34 of the Listing Rules.
– 9 –
In order to avoid future occurrence of similar non-compliance, the following actions and procedures will be taken by the Board with immediate effect:
-
(I) For each proposed transaction under the Group’s money lending business, the Company will implement a policy to be strictly enforced that prior to entering into any definitive agreement regarding providing financial assistance or advance to an entity, the Company will inform its financial controller/company secretary who will carefully review and evaluate the proposed transaction from the perspective of Listing Rules compliance, including but not limited to calculation of the size tests and the applicable disclosure requirements;
-
