CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Terms of the Leasing Agreements

Based on the representation of Shanghai Longying to the Group, the terms of each Leasing Agreement were negotiated between the respective landlord and Shanghai Longying on arm’s length basis and are on normal commercial terms. In addition, BMI Appraisals Limited, an independent property valuer appointed by the Group, has confirmed that the agreed annual base rent of each Leasing Agreement was fair and reasonable in the market as at the date of the Leasing Agreements. The Directors, having reviewed the terms of the Leasing Agreements and the opinion issued by BMI Appraisals Limited, concluded that the terms of the Leasing Agreements are similar to leases of the same nature and are determined in accordance with the prevailing market practice.

INFORMATION ON SHANGHAI LONGYING

Shanghai Longying is principally engaged in the investment and operation of cinema projects in the PRC. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made reasonable enquiries, Shanghai Longying is an Independent Third Party.

INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

The Group is principally engaged in movie production, licensing and derivatives, crossover marketing, provision of interactive contents, artist development and last miles engagement.

TRADING AND FINANCIAL PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

For the financial year ended 31 March 2011, the Group has recorded a total turnover of approximately HK$557,637,000. Loss attributable to Shareholders for the year was approximately HK$156,921,000.

While the Group has continued its existing trading business, the Group will put more focus on its new business, i.e. cinema investment, operation and management by setting up a joint venture with CineChina as announced by the Company on 9 June 2011 and 13 June 2011.

The Directors are of the view that the cinema industry in the PRC offers highly promising prospects. In 2010, the total box office revenue in the PRC is RMB10 billion, increased by 64% when compared to RMB6 billion recorded in 2009; however the screen ratio is relatively low as of 8.2 screens to every 1 million audience.

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

With CineChina’s extensive knowledge and experience in development of cinemas in the PRC, the Directors believe that co-operation with CineChina would create a synergy effect to the Group, which would allow the Group to expand its operation and businesses into the areas of operating cinemas and cinemas related businesses in the PRC and to become one of the top-3 cinema operators in the PRC within the next three years.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE TRANSFER

As advised by the Directors, the four cinema projects under the Leasing Agreements are all located in central commercial districts in the respective city with constant stream of people. Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisitions, there would be 4 cinema projects to be developed and managed by the Group. The Directors believe that the proposed Transfer would increase the Group’s portfolio of cinemas and enable the Group to expand its operation and businesses into the cinema industry in the PRC.

The following map illustrates the geographical locations of the Group’s future coverage of cinemas in the PRC following completion of the Transfer and the Proposed Acquisitions:

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

It is the vision of the Group to become one of the leading cinema investment and management companies in the PRC in the future. The Directors believe that the cinema business would complement its existing business of movie production, online gaming and licensing, crossover marketing and provision of interactive contents, and improve the Group’s profit in the long run and benefit the Shareholders and the Company as a whole. The Directors, including the non-executive Directors, therefore consider that the terms of the Transfer Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE TRANSFER

The consideration of the Transfer is nil. However, based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group as set out in Appendix II to this circular, the financial effects of the Leasing Agreements are summarised below:

Earnings

According to the audited consolidated income statement of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2011, the loss attributable to the owners of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2011 was approximately HK$157 million. Assuming completion of Transfer had taken place on 1 April 2010, the additional rental expenses incurred by the Group for the year ended 31 March 2011 would be approximately HK$4 million.

Assets and liabilities

According to the audited consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2011, the Group had assets and liabilities of approximately HK$171 million and HK$92 million respectively.

Assuming completion of the Transfer had taken place on 31 March 2011, the unaudited pro forma assets and liabilities of the Group would be approximately HK$167 million (including intangible assets of approximately HK$15 million) and HK$92 million respectively.

LISTING RULE IMPLICATIONS

The Leasing Agreements are classified as operating leases. As the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Transfer exceed 25% but less than 100%, the entering into of the Transfer Agreement constitutes a major transaction of the Company under Rule 19.06 of the GEM Listing Rules, and is subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements under the GEM Listing Rules.
