FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL ON NEW TIMES GROUP

Upon Subscription Completion and Disposal Completion I, New Times will reduce its indirect interest in the Shine Great Group to 49%, and the Shine Great Group will cease to be subsidiaries of New Times. As such, the assets, liabilities and results of the Shine Great Group will no longer be consolidated into New Times Group’s financial statements.

New Times expects a net gain of approximately HK$16,000,000, calculated based on the Disposal Consideration less the estimated unaudited net asset value of Shine Great Group as at 30 June 2014 after taking into account the capitalization of shareholder’s loan and the Subscription, will recognise to the consolidated income statement of New Times on the Disposal.

USE OF PROCEEDS BY NEW TIMES

After deducting professional fees in connection with the Disposal and the restructuring, it is estimated that the net proceeds from the Disposal calculated based on the Disposal Consideration would be approximately HK$15,000,000 (‘‘Net Proceeds’’). New Times intends to use the Net Proceeds from the Disposal as general working capital and funding of investment as and when suitable opportunities arise. As at the date of this joint announcement, New Times does not have any specific investment plan which requires the use of the Net Proceeds from the Disposal.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL FOR NEW TIMES

New Times Group primarily operates in trading of oil products, exploration of natural resources, oil exploration and production and distribution of natural gas. The Shine Great Group consists of business in relation to:

  • . liquefied natural gas (LNG)/compressed natural gas (CNG) stations for vehicles

  • . natural gas provision to industrial parks

  • . natural gas provision to household communities

The directors of New Times believe that the Disposal represents a good opportunity for New Times Group to realize the value of the Shine Great Group and craft out its loss making business segment. New Times Group will receive Net Proceeds of approximately HK$15,000,000 calculated based on the Disposal Consideration after realizing the Shine Great Group and it will allow New Times Group to focus on its upstream oil and gas business segment.

In view of the above, the directors of New Times consider the Disposal and the entering of the Subscription Agreement and the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and in the interests of New Times Group and its shareholders as a whole.

– 23 –

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION FOR BLUE SKY

Blue Sky and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in (i) sales and distribution of natural gas and other related products; (ii) sales of book products; and (iii) sales of specialised products.

Blue Sky began to venture into the natural gas supply industry by the acquisition of a 60% equity interest in CNG station operations in 2013 and 100% of Cloud Decade Limited in 2014 respectively. The directors consider that as natural gas is one of the main sources of energy, natural gas supply operations will deliver Blue Sky a relative stable income stream.

The PRC government has been consistently and continuously showing its determination in increasing the utilization of clean energy such as natural gas to ease the air pollution problem in the PRC.

Given the market potential of natural gas products in the PRC, Blue Sky proposes to make the Acquisition in order to further establish its market presence and strengthen its existing business portfolio of natural gas business operations in the PRC. The directors of Blue Sky consider that the Acquisition, if they materialise, will enable the Blue Sky Group to expand its natural gas business operations.

In view of the above, the directors of Blue Sky consider the terms of the Acquisition are fair and reasonable and in the interests of its shareholders as a whole.
