OPEN OFFER ON THE BASIS OF THREE OFFER SHARES FOR EVERY EXISTING SHARE

Terms used in this cover page have the same meanings as defined in this prospectus.

The latest time for acceptance of and payment for the Offer Shares is at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 7 November 2012. The procedure for application is set out on pages 20 to 21 of this prospectus.

The Open Offer is conditional upon, among others, the fulfillment or waiver of the conditions set out under the section headed “Conditions of the Open Offer” and the paragraph headed “Termination of the Underwriting Agreement” in this prospectus.

The Board wishes to inform that, as the number of Underwritten Shares is below that of the Offer Shares, the Open Offer is not fully underwritten. Subject to fulfillment of the conditions of the Open Offer and the Underwriting Agreement, the Open Offer will proceed regardless of the ultimate subscription level as there are no requirements for minimal levels of subscription pursuant to the Company’s constitutional documents or the law of Cayman Islands.

Shareholders should note that the existing Shares have been dealt in on an ex-entitlement basis since Wednesday, 17 October 2012. If the Underwriters terminate the Underwriting Agreement, or if any of the conditions of the Open Offer is not fulfilled, the Open Offer will not proceed. Any Shareholder or other person dealing in the Shares up to the date on which all conditions of the Open Offer are fulfilled (which is expected to be on Monday, 12 November 2012) will accordingly bear the risk that the Open Offer may not become unconditional and may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise due caution when dealing in the Shares, and if they are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their own professional advisers.

CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high 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.

i

THE OPEN OFFER IS NOT FULLY UNDERWRITTEN

As the number of Underwritten Shares is below that of the Offer Shares, the Open Offer is not fully underwritten. Subject to fulfillment of the conditions of the Open Offer and the Underwriting Agreement, the Open Offer will proceed regardless of the ultimate subscription level as there are no requirements for minimal levels of subscription pursuant to the Company’s constitutional documents or the laws of the Cayman Islands.

Terms of the Open Offer

Subscription Price

The Subscription Price is HK$0.078 per Offer Share, payable in full when a Qualifying Shareholder applies for the Offer Shares.

The Subscription Price represents:

  • (a) a discount of approximately 21.2% to the closing price of HK$0.099 per Share quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • (b) a discount of approximately 23.5% to the average of the closing prices of approximately HK0.102 per Share for the last five full trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

  • (c) a discount of approximately 28.4% to the average of the closing prices of approximately HK$0.109 per Share for the last ten full trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

  • (d) a discount of approximately 6.0% to the theoretical ex-entitlement price of approximately HK$0.083 per Share (assuming that all Shareholders take up their respective assured entitlements to the Offer Shares) based on the closing price of HK$0.099 per Share quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • (e) a discount of approximately 9.3% to the theoretical ex-entitlement price of approximately HK$0.086 (assuming that no Shareholders take up their respective assured entitlements to the Offer Shares and the Underwriters are called upon to subscribe for the Underwritten Shares subject to the terms and conditions under the Underwriting Agreement) based on the closing price of HK$0.099 per Share quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day; and

  • (f) a discount of approximately 22.8% to the closing price of HK$0.101 per Share quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date.

16

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Subscription Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiation among the Company and the Underwriters with reference to, among other things, the then market environment, the prevailing market price of the Shares, the financial position of the Group and the funding requirements in repaying the Power Way Loan and exploring potential investment opportunities. The Directors consider the terms of the Open Offer and the Subscription Price to be fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Fractions of the Offer Shares

Given the basis of the Open Offer is three Offer Shares for every existing Share held on the Record Date, there will not be any fractional entitlements of the Offer Shares.

No application for excess Offer Shares

The invitation to subscribe for Offer Shares to be made to the Qualifying Shareholders will not be transferable. No Qualifying Shareholder is entitled to apply for any Offer Shares which are in excess to his/her/its assured entitlements. Any Offer Shares not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders, and the Offer Shares to which the Non-Qualifying Shareholders would otherwise have been entitled to under the Open Offer, will not be available for subscription by other Qualifying Shareholders by way of excess application and will be taken up by the Underwriters as described in the section headed “6. Underwriting arrangements” below.

The absence of the excess application arrangement may not be desirable from the point of view of those Qualifying Shareholders who wish to take up additional Offer Shares in excess of their assured entitlements. However, having considered (i) the structure of the Open Offer was arrived at after arm’s length negotiation among the Underwriters and the Company; (ii) the relatively thin discount of the theoretical ex-entitlement price to the then prevailing market prices of the Shares (details of which are set out under paragraph headed “Terms of the Open Offer” above) provides no significant incentive for the Qualifying Shareholders to take up additional Offer Shares; (iii) those Qualifying Shareholders who choose to accept their respective assured entitlements under the Open Offer in full can maintain their respective existing shareholdings in the Company after the Open Offer; and (iv) the Open Offer already assures the Qualifying Shareholders who are optimistic about the future development of the Company to entitle to the Offer Shares in proportion to their shareholding, the Directors consider that the absence of excess application arrangement is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Since no excess application procedure for the Offer Shares is available and Melco LV, being one of the Underwriters, is a substantial shareholder of the Company, the absence of an excess application procedure under the Open Offer has been specifically approved at the EGM in compliance with Rule 10.42(2) of the GEM Listing Rules.

17

The exact amount of the Power Way Loan to be set off will be equal to the product of the Subscription Price and the exact number of Offer Shares to be taken up by Power Way. The interest on the outstanding Power Way Loan from 1 June 2012 up to and including the date of completion of the Set Off will be settled by the Company in cash.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

7. REASONS FOR THE OPEN OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Pursuant to the loan agreement dated 14 July 2008 (as amended by supplemental agreements dated 1 December 2009, 21 March 2011 and 24 February 2012) entered into between Power Way and the Company, Power Way had advanced a loan in the sum of HK$80.0 million to the Company and such loan bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum for the period up to 13 July 2010, and at the rate of 1% per annum for the period of 14 July 2010 to 14 July 2013, being its maturity date. Power Way provided the Power Way Loan to finance the Group’s acquisition, through Gain Advance, of the entire equity interest in KTeMS Co., Ltd. at the consideration of US$12 million (equivalent to approximately HK$93.6 million) in 2008. As at 31 May 2012, the Power Way Loan, which is the aggregate of the principal amount of such loan and the interest accrued thereon, amounted to approximately HK$89,338,196. The Directors consider that the settlement of the Power Way Loan under the Underwriting Agreement through the Set Off will enable the Group to repay substantial part of the liabilities of the Company under the Power Way Loan without cash outflow and will allow the Group to reduce its gearing level.

Notwithstanding the view of the Directors that the Group has the financial ability to meet the interest payments on the Power Way Loan as they fall due, the Directors are mindful of the significant deterioration in economic and credit conditions that have affected the world economies in recent months. Given the uncertain economic outlook in the near to medium term, the Group is well conscious of the risk that the Company may not be able to obtain the necessary funding, either through debt or equity financing or both, to re-finance the Power Way Loan as and when it falls due.

The Directors, having taken the prudent approach in evaluating the current financial position of the Group, consider the Open Offer will allow the Group to (i) strengthen its capital base; (ii) improve its gearing ratio; (iii) remove the uncertainty over the Company’s financial position to pay all of the outstanding remaining balance under the Power Way Loan; (iv) save the future interest expense in connection with the Power Way Loan; and (v) provide an equitable means for the Shareholders to participate in the future development of the Company. In addition, the Directors consider that the Open Offer will provide additional working capital and strengthen the Group’s financial position. As set out in the unaudited interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2012, the total net liabilities of the Group were approximately HK$668.8 million as at 30 June 2012.

The Directors and the senior management of the Company have also explored other financing methods through discussions with and enquiries to certain financial institutions and placing agents on the possibility of debt financing and equity issuances, including but not limited to share placement and rights issue. However, the Company is in a net liability position, debt financing would result in the Company being subject to additional interest burden and further increase its gearing ratio and jeopardize the financial structure of the Company. Share placement would only be available to certain placees which may cause dilution effect to the existing Shareholders, and the Directors and the senior management were unable to procure underwriting support from independent underwriters to underwrite a rights issue of a similar size at a reasonable cost to the Company. In view of the above, the Directors considered that it would be more beneficial to the Company to raise long-term equity capital through the Open Offer rather than the aforesaid alternate means of financing. The Underwriting Agreement, in particular, the underwriting obligations of the Underwriters and the number of Underwritten Shares, was determined after arm’s length discussion among the Company and the Underwriters. Therefore, the Directors consider that the Underwriting Agreement is in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

26

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The gross proceeds from the Open Offer are estimated to be not less than approximately HK$58.4 million (assuming no Shareholder take up their respective assured entitlements to the Offer Shares) and not more than HK$117.7 million (assuming all Shareholders take up their respective assured entitlements to the Offer Shares).

The minimum gross proceeds from the Open Offer of approximately HK$58.4 million are estimated based on the Underwriters to take up 748,419,206 Offer Shares at HK$0.078 per Offer Share. After deducting estimated expenses of approximately HK$1.5 million payable by the Company relating to the Open Offer, the net proceeds from the Open Offer will amount to not less than approximately HK$56.9 million (equivalent to the net Subscription Price of approximately HK$0.076 per Offer Share). The Company intends to use the entire net proceeds from the Open Offer to repay the Power Way Loan. The remaining balance of the Power Way Loan will only be repaid when the Group has the necessary financial resources available for repayment.

The maximum gross proceeds of approximately HK$117.7 million from the Open Offer are estimated based on 1,508,900,799 Offer Shares to be issued at HK$0.078 per Offer Share. After deducting estimated expenses relating to the Open Offer, the net proceeds from the Open Offer will amount to approximately HK$116.2 million (equivalent to the net Subscription Price of approximately HK$0.077 per Offer Share). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Open Offer to fully repay the Power Way Loan amounting to approximately HK$89.3 million as at 31 May 2012. The remaining amount of the net proceeds from the Open Offer of approximately HK$26.9 million will be used as additional working capital to strengthen the Company’s financial position and to develop its lottery business, including but not limited to, system upgrade for a high-frequency lottery game system in Chongqing, the development of its paperless lottery sales channels, such as mobile network and/or internet, and the balance for upgrading tele-betting system in Shandong and marketing expenses.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has neither identified nor commenced any negotiations for any potential acquisitions.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

10. FUND-RAISING ACTIVITIES BY THE COMPANY DURING THE PAST 12 MONTHS

The Company has not conducted any fund raising activities in the past 12 months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

11. RISK FACTORS

Shareholders and prospective investors should consider carefully all the information set out in this prospectus and, in particular, should evaluate the following risks in connection with an investment in the Company before making any investment decision (including the Open Offer) in relation to the Company.

Risks relating to the Group’s business

Reliance on the major customer

Since the establishment of Beijing Telenet in 2006, Intradak has been the sole customer of Beijing Telenet and, vice versa, Beijing Telenet has been the sole supplier to Intradak. For the five months ended 31 May 2012, Intradak, being the largest customer of the Group, accounted for approximately 79% of the Group’s revenue.

The Group, through Beijing Telenet, has entered into the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking with Intradak in order to secure the business of the Group for a period of one year. Pursuant to the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking, Intradak granted an exclusive right to Beijing Telenet for supplying the Approved LVM mutually specified by Intradak and Beijing Telenet for a term of one year. During the term of the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking, Intradak shall solely procure the Approved LVM from Beijing Telenet and shall not directly or indirectly, without the written consent of Beijing Telenet, procure the Approved LVM from any other third party enterprises, corporations or individuals other than Beijing Telenet. In the event that the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking failed to be renewed after one year and Intradak decides to terminate its business relationship with the Group, the Group may not be able to find a new customer(s) in a timely manner or on terms acceptable to the Group or at all, and any such new prospective customer(s) may not be able to replace the sales volume previously generated by Intradak, which will adversely affect the sales performance of the Group and thus its overall results of operation and financial position.

Furthermore, if Intradak decides to terminate its business relationship with the Group upon the expiry of the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking, the Group may not be able to find a new customer(s) in a timely manner or on terms acceptable to the Group or at all, and any such new prospective customer(s) may not be able to replace the sales volume previously generated by Intradak, which will adversely affect the sales performance of the Group and thus its overall results of operation and financial position.

It is further emphasised that given the strong reliance on a major customer, should there be business failure and any interruption in the business of Intradak arising from any unexpected or catastrophic events, the Group’s business and hence its operation and financial position will be adversely affected.

30

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Reliance on the major supplier

For each of the three years ended 31 December 2011 and five months ended 31 May 2012, Wu Sheng, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oasis Rich, being the largest supplier of the Group, accounted for approximately 99%, 99%, 100% and 100% respectively of the Group’s total purchase of raw materials. Upon completion of the Transactions, Wu Sheng will remain the major supplier of Beijing Telenet and also that of the Group.

Pursuant to the Wu Sheng Exclusivity Undertaking, Wu Sheng granted an exclusive right to Beijing Telenet for procuring the Approved LVM mutually specified by Wu Sheng and Beijing Telenet for a term of one year. During the term of the Wu Sheng Exclusivity Undertaking, Wu Sheng shall solely supply the Approved LVM to Beijing Telenet at prices set in accordance with the existing pricing policy and shall not directly or indirectly, without the written consent of Beijing Telenet, supply the Approved LVM to (i) competitors or potential competitors of Beijing Telenet, (ii) Intradak; or (iii) any other third party enterprises, corporations or individuals other than Beijing Telenet. Wu Sheng further undertook that it shall not directly or indirectly compete with Beijing Telenet in connection with the supply of the Approved LVM. In the event that the Wu Sheng Exclusivity Undertaking failed to be renewed after one year and Wu Sheng decides to terminate its business relationship with the Group, the Group may not be able to find a new supplier(s) in a timely manner or on terms acceptable to the Group or at all, and the Group’s business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

It is further emphasised that given the strong reliance on a major supplier, should there be business failure and any interruption in the business of Wu Sheng arising from any unexpected or catastrophic events, the Group’s business and hence its operation and financial position will be adversely affected.

The Group maintains a significant level of liabilities and the business of the Group may be adversely affected by the lack of refinancing options

The Group has been building up significant level of liabilities, which is mainly attributable to the outstanding convertible bonds in the principal amount of HK$883,975,310 as at the Latest Practicable Date. Upon completion of the Transactions, although it is expected that there will be substantial debt reduction of convertible bonds in the principal amount of HK$452,363,876 and a full or partial retirement of the Power Way Loan (as the case may be), there remains a significant portion of the 2012 Convertible Bonds that are outstanding and are expected to mature on 13 December 2012 and there is uncertainty as to how much of the Power Way Loan will remain outstanding. The Group is well conscious of the risk that the Company may not be able to obtain the necessary funding, either through debt or equity financing or both, to re-finance the Power Way Loan and to redeem the 2012 Convertible Bonds as and when they fall due. The current level of gearing could potentially constrain the Group’s operation with significant consequences such as, among others, (i) constrains on the Group’s working capital position and capital expenditures due to the use of a substantial portion of the Group’s cash flows for debt servicing, and (ii) limit the Group’s ability to obtain, as well as an increase in the cost of, additional financing to fund future working capital and capital expenditures. Hence, the Directors cannot provide absolute assurance that the Group will have the ability to raise necessary financing to fund the Group’s working capital, capital expenditures and other debt obligations. As such, the Group’s business, prospects and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

31

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Availability of high quality and appropriately priced raw materials and products

The Group relies on external producers/suppliers for the supply of all raw materials and product parts. Liquid crystal display panels, scanners and printers, being the primary raw materials, as well as other components, are sourced from overseas and the PRC. If the Group is unable to find readily available high quality raw materials or products, the Group’s delivery schedule as well as its financial results and condition may be adversely affected.

Reliance on key executives and personnel

Given the specialised nature of the business for which the Group conducts in, the future success of the Group will depend to a large extent on the continued efforts of the Directors and senior management of the Group as a whole. There is no assurance that these key executives or personnel will not voluntarily terminate their employment with the Group. Although the Group does not rely on any one particular Director or senior management staff of the Group, the loss of any of the Group’s key executives or personnel could be detrimental to the ongoing success of the Group’s operations.

The Group’s continued success will also depend on its ability to attract and retain qualified personnel in order to manage its existing operations as well as its future growth. The Group may not be able to successfully attract, assimilate or retain the personnel they need and this could negatively impact on the Group’s ability to expand their business effectively.

Risk relating to seasonality

The Group has historically experienced seasonality, which is expected to continue. The Group generally receives more orders in the second half of the year. The Directors believe the reason for this is that agents of the CSLA generally reduce conducting purchases and replacement of Approved LVM during the first half of the year where this period has PRC national holidays such as the New Year and the Chinese New Year in January and February and the “Golden Week” in early May when the mainland Chinese celebrate during Labour Day. Although the Company issues quarterly reports, investors should be aware that comparisons of sales and operating results between different periods within a single financial year, or between different periods in different financial years, are not necessarily meaningful and cannot be relied on as indicators of the Group’s performance due to the seasonality factors.

Risk relating to the industry

Risk relating to the prolonged delays experienced in the new equipment procurement cycle of the CSLA

As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2011, new equipment procurement cycle of the CSLA has been subject to prolonged delay. The management is of the view that the demand for and timing of the new equipment procurement cycle from the customers are uncertain. Given the unpredictable nature of the CSLA’s new equipment procurement cycle and in the event of any material delays in the new equipment procurement cycle, the Group’s financial results and positions can be materially adversely affected as a result.

32

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Risk relating to the Group’s ability to keep up with technological changes in the PRC lottery industry in order to remain competitive

The Group, through Beijing Telenet, is one of the largest authorised terminal distributors approved by the CSLA. However, the Group’s performance depends on the Group’s ability to continually adapt its existing products and technological know-how, timely recruitment of personnel with the relevant skills and development of new lottery products and technologies which keep up with the latest technological trends in the PRC lottery industry. In order to remain competitive, the Group has to invest funds and resources, which include staff, offices and licences, to the continued research and development of existing and potential products and technologies. However, the effect of emerging and future technological changes in relation to product specifications to the Group’s research and development plans or the level of technologies required by CSLA and CWL are unpredictable. The inability to respond to the technological developments and requirements in the PRC lottery industry may lead to the loss of business, therefore will adversely affect the Group’s business operations and profitability. If the Group is not able to respond to new developments successfully or do not respond in a cost-effective way, the Group’s operations and financial results could be materially adversely affected.

Risk relating to the PRC

Reliance on the PRC market

Most of the Group’s assets are located in the PRC, and all of the Group’s products and services are sold in the PRC market. If there is any adverse change in the financial, economic, industrial, political, fiscal, social, legal or regulatory conditions in the PRC, the Group’s performance may be adversely affected.

Adverse changes in the PRC’s economic conditions

The growth of the PRC lottery industry is linked to the PRC’s economic conditions. In the event of an economic hard-landing in the PRC or that the growth of the economy in the PRC is at a lesser pace than anticipated, the demand for lottery products may decline or grow at a lesser pace than anticipated and, therefore, the Group’s operating results and profitability could be adversely affected.

Risk relating to the Open Offer

Termination of the Underwriting Agreement

Shareholders should note that the Underwriters are entitled to terminate their obligations under the Underwriting Agreement giving notice in writing to the Company upon the occurrence of any of the events stated in the paragraph headed “Termination of the Underwriting Agreement” in this prospectus on or before the Latest Time for Termination.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Protection to minority shareholders under Cayman Islands law

As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, the Company’s corporate affairs are governed by the memorandum and the articles of association of the Company, the Companies Law and common law of the Cayman Islands. Cayman Islands law relating to the protection of the interests of minority shareholders differs in certain respects from those established under statutes and under judicial precedents in Hong Kong or other jurisdictions. Such difference may mean that the remedies available to the Company’s minority shareholders may be different from those they would otherwise have or are familiar with under the laws of Hong Kong or other jurisdictions.

12. PUBLICATION OF THE THIRD QUARTER RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE COMPANY

Shareholders and potential investors are advised to consider the Third Quarter Results and exercise due caution when dealing in the Shares or participating in the Open Offer, and if they are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their own professional advisers.

13. ADJUSTMENTS TO EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF THE SHARE OPTIONS AND THE 2012 CONVERTIBLE BONDS

Adjustment to the exercise price and number of the outstanding Share Options and the 2012 Convertible Bonds may be required under the relevant terms of the Share Option Scheme and the relevant instrument(s). Further announcement will be made in this regard if deemed appropriate and necessary.

2. STATEMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS

At the close of business on 31 August 2012, being the latest practicable date for the purpose of the statement of indebtedness prior to the printing of this prospectus, the Group had outstanding borrowings of approximately HK$884.6 million, comprising an unsecured loan with principal and interest of HK$80.0 million and HK$9.5 million respectively owed to Power Way and unlisted secured convertible bonds with an aggregate carrying amount of the debt component of approximately HK$795.1 million. The principal amount of the convertible bonds was approximately HK$884.0 million and the Group had pledged (i) 90 issued shares of Precious Success, representing approximately 45% of the existing issued share capital of Precious Success, to secure the 2012 Convertible Bonds; (ii) 378,000 issued shares of Oasis Rich, representing approximately 54% of the existing issued share capital of Oasis Rich, to secure the 2012 Convertible Bonds; and (iii) 5,000 issued shares of KTeMS Co., Ltd., representing approximately 50% of the existing issued share capital of KTeMS Co., Ltd, to secure the Intralot 2013 Convertible Bonds.

Save as disclosed in this section headed “2. Statement of indebtedness”, the Group did not have other outstanding mortgages, charges, debentures or other loan capital, bank overdrafts or loans, other similar indebtedness, finance lease or hire purchase commitments, liabilities under acceptance or acceptance credits, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities at the close of business on 31 August 2012.

3. WORKING CAPITAL

Taking into account the assumed successful completion of the Transactions and after taking into account the financial resources available to the Group including its internally generated funds and the Financial Support, the Directors are of the opinion that the Group has sufficient working capital to satisfy its requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of this prospectus.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

4. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors were not aware of any material adverse change in the financial or trading position of the Group since 31 May 2012, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were made up.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS

Pursuant to the regulations on lottery management recently issued by China’s Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Civil Affairs, all lottery sales by unlicensed organisations are designated as illegal and consequently several websites selling CWL lottery tickets and CSLA lottery tickets have suspended operations in the PRC. The implementation of standardised formal approval and operating requirements should aid the planned development of the industry as a whole and paperless channels in particular. This presents an opportunity to the Group as the environment is now more supportive of participants determined to comply with government policies and frameworks. The overall China lottery market continues to grow and paperless distribution channels are envisaged to be a key growth engine given their ability to effectively penetrate wide geographic areas and reach untapped market segments. The Company will seek to leverage its access to advanced lottery industry knowhow and global best practices to capitalise on these opportunities.

Although the exercise to evaluate and approve lottery terminals for the new procurement has not been concluded by the CSLA, the Group has already strengthened its position in the terminal distribution business through the added participation in Beijing Telenet. Further efforts are ongoing to enhance the operating structure and strengthen the financial position of the Group. Subsequent to these strategic changes the Company will be better positioned to exploit opportunities in the dynamic China lottery market, with a particular focus on paperless channels.

APPENDIX II UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

A. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENTS OF ADJUSTED CONSOLIDATED NET TANGIBLE LIABILITIES OF THE REMAINING GROUP

On 26 June 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with Intralot International Limited (“Intralot”), a substantial shareholder of the Company, in relation to the sale of the Group’s entire 100% equity interest of Gain Advance (“GA Sale Shares”) and 49% equity interest of Precious Success (“PS Sale Shares”), and the repurchase of Intralot’s portion of convertible bonds due in 2013 (“Intralot 2013 Convertible Bonds”) with outstanding principal of HK$277,175,310 by the Company (collectively the “Intralot Disposal”). The consideration payable by Intralot for the purchase of the GA Sale Shares and the PS Sale Shares and the consideration payable by the Company for the repurchase of the Intralot 2013 Convertible Bonds shall be set off against each other at the completion date of the Intralot Disposal.

On 26 June 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with Global Crossing Holdings Limited (“GCH”), a 32.86% non-controlling shareholder of Oasis Rich, in relation to the sale of the Group’s entire 60% equity interest of Oasis Rich (“OR Sale Shares”), and the repurchase of GCH’s portion of convertible bonds due in 2012 (“GCH 2012 Convertible Bonds”) with outstanding principal of HK$175,188,566 by the Company (collectively the “GCH Disposal”). The consideration payable by GCH for the purchase of the OR Sale Shares and the consideration payable by the Company for the repurchase of the GCH 2012 Convertible Bonds shall be set off against each other at the completion date of the GCH Disposal.

The unaudited pro forma statements of adjusted consolidated net tangible liabilities of the Remaining Group are prepared based on the audited consolidated statements of financial position of the Group, the Oasis Rich Group and the Gain Advance Group as at 31 May 2012 as set out in Appendix IV, III and II to the Circular, respectively, after making pro forma adjustments relating to the Disposals and the Open Offer, as if the Disposals and the Open Offer had been completed on 31 May 2012.

The unaudited pro forma statements of adjusted consolidated net tangible liabilities are based on the aforesaid historical data after giving effect to the pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes. Narrative description of the pro forma adjustments that are (i) directly attributable to the transactions and (ii) factually supportable is summarised in the accompanying notes.

The unaudited pro forma statements of adjusted consolidated net tangible liabilities have been prepared by the directors of the Company for illustrative purposes only and are based on a number of assumptions, estimates, uncertainties and currently available information. Because of their hypothetical nature, the unaudited pro forma statements of adjusted consolidated net tangible liabilities do not purport to predict the adjusted consolidated net tangible liabilities of the Remaining Group upon the completion of the Disposals and the Open Offer or any future date.

For the purpose of determining the pro forma gain on the GCH Disposal, it is assumed that no consideration is allocated to repurchase the conversion option component of the GCH 2012 Convertible Bonds due to the GCH 2012 Convertible Bonds were close to maturity and the conversion options were deeply out of the money, and hence the entire consideration paid by the Group for the repurchase of the GCH 2012 Convertible Bonds is allocated to the liability component of the GCH 2012 Convertible Bonds.

For the purpose of unaudited pro forma statement of adjusted consolidated net tangible liabilities, the Group has estimated the capital gain taxes in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) of approximately HK$17,100,000 arising from the GCH Disposal based on 10% capital gain tax rate of the relevant outstanding principal of GCH 2012 Convertible Bonds minus 60% share of registered share capital of the PRC subsidiary of Oasis Rich to be disposed of. The amount of the capital gain taxes are subject to change upon completion.

  • (3) The adjustments reflect (a) the de-consolidation of the assets and liabilities of Gain Advance, (b) the recognition of non-controlling interests amounting to HK$5,371,000 representing 49% equity interest in Precious Success as at 31 May 2012, calculated based on 49% of the carrying amounts of the net assets of Precious Success, and (c) the pro forma gain arising from the Intralot Disposal, assuming that the Intralot Disposal had taken place on 31 May 2012, net of capital gain tax amounting to HK$18,700,000. Financial information of Gain Advance Group and Precious Success Group are set out in Appendices II and I to the Circular, respectively.

For the purpose of determining the pro forma gain on the Intralot Disposal, the directors of the Company assumed that the fair value of Gain Advance Group and 49% equity interest in Precious Success Group approximated the carrying values as at 31 May 2012 of the net assets of Gain Advance Group and of the net assets of Precious Success Group attributable to the Group’s 49% equity interest therein, respectively. Furthermore, it is assumed that no consideration is allocated to repurchase the conversion option component of the Intralot 2013 Convertible Bonds due to the assumed aggregated fair value of Gain Advance Group and the Group’s 49% equity interest in Precious Success Group was lower than the assumed fair value of the liability component of the Intralot 2013 Convertible Bonds as at 31 May 2012, and hence the entire consideration paid by the Group for the repurchase of the Intralot 2013 Convertible Bonds is allocated to the liability component of the Intralot 2013 Convertible Bonds.

For the purpose of unaudited pro forma statement of adjusted consolidated net tangible liabilities, the Group has estimated the capital gain taxes in the PRC of approximately HK$18,700,000 arising from the Intralot Disposal based on 10% capital gain tax rate of the relevant outstanding principal of Intralot 2013 Convertible Bonds minus 49% share of registered share capital of the PRC subsidiaries of Precious Success to be disposed of. The amount of the capital gain taxes are subject to change upon completion.

The financial impact of the Intralot Disposal is to be determined based on the carrying amount of the Intralot 2013 Convertible Bonds, the carrying value and fair value of the net assets of Gain Advance Group and Precious Success Group at the completion date and is therefore subject to change upon completion of the Intralot Disposal.
