INFORMATION OF THE SALE GROUP
The Sale Entity is incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Sale Group is principally engaged in manufacturing and selling of rigid printed circuit boards and flexible printed circuit boards.
No audited financial information was prepared for the Sale Group. The unaudited consolidated financial information of the Sale Group for the years ended 30 June 2012, 2013 and 2014 are set out as follows:
| For the | year ended 30 | June | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | |
| RMB’000 | RMB’000 | RMB’000 | |
| (Unaudited) | (Unaudited) | (Unaudited) | |
| Revenue | 111,777 | 77,064 | 72,187 |
| Net loss before tax | (306,855) | (87,920) | (123,773) |
| Net loss after tax | (335,279) | (87,920) | (123,773) |
The unaudited net liabilities of the Sale Group as at 30 June 2014 amounted to approximately RMB55.35 million, while the unaudited net asset value of the Sale Group as at 30 June 2013 amounted to approximately RMB68.11 million. The subdued financial position was due to the net effect of (a) the net loss of approximately RMB52.00 million from operation for the Sale Group for the year 30 June 2014; (b) the loss of approximately RMB72.96 million from the waiving amount due from inter-group companies; (c) the gain of approximately RMB1.19 million from the exempted amount due to a fellow subsidiary.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The amount due from inter-group companies mainly consist of cash advance made from the Sale Group to the Company to support its’s daily operation. In order to increase effectiveness and reduce the unnecessary burdensome in preparing the Group’s consolidated account, the management resolved to restructure inter-companies accounts, as a result, the amount due from the Company to the Sale Group for the year ended 30 June 2014 were written-off.
The Remaining Group will benefit from the restructure of inter-companies accounts with positive income and reduced the liabilities.
FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL
Upon Completion, the Company will cease to be engaged in the electronic business, the Sale Entity would cease to be subsidiary of the Company and the financial information of the Sale Group would no longer be consolidated in the accounts of the Company.
The unaudited total assets and total liabilities of the Sale Group amounted to approximately RMB273.67 million and RMB329.02 million as at 30 June 2014. Upon Completion, it is expected that the Company will reduce the total assets by approximately RMB273.67 million and reduce the total liabilities by approximately RMB329.02 million, respectively.
It is expected that the Company will record a profit on disposal (before deducting the related transaction costs) of approximately RMB55.91 million which is calculated based on the Consideration less unaudited consolidated net liabilities of the Sale Group of approximately RMB55.35 million as at 30 June 2014. The proceeds from the Disposal would be used for general working capital of the Group. It is expected that the Company will reduce the revenue and net loss before impairment approximately RMB72.19 million and RMB52.00 million, respectively, after disposal of Sale Group.
After Completion, the Group will have disposed of its electronic business, which contributed 82.4% and 76.2% net loss of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2013 and for the six months period ended 31 December 2013, respectively.
REASONS FOR THE DISPOSAL
The Group is principally engaged in (i) the electronic business; (ii) property development; and (iii) gold mining business.
The Sale Group is capital and labour intensive. As set out in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2013, the unfavourable market condition in the global economy continued to pose various challenges to the electronic business, both the Group’s orders and average selling prices were under pressure amid intense market competition. The demand for electronic products recovered at a slow pace and customers were still cautious in placing orders which added to the downward pressure of average selling prices.
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The growing inflation rate in the PRC led to rising raw material and labour costs, while the Sale Group also experienced a shortage of labour force. In addition, due to new environmental protection requirements in the Fujian Province, the Group has employed an environmental protection company to review the existing situation of the Fujian plant and capital investment is expected to be incurred to fulfill the environmental protection requirements.
The rise of raw material and labour costs, shortage of labour force and new environmental protection requirements increased production costs and undermined the profitability of the Sale Group.
In another hand, the Group will continue to implement its diversified development strategy and proactively search for potential investment opportunities, particularly in gold mining projects.
Having considered all of the above factors, and Sale Group has been in a loss making position for the past 5 years, the Board is of the view that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are fair and reasonable and the entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement is in the interest of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As the relevant percentage ratios of the Disposal are more than 25% but less than 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules.
To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquires, no Shareholders is required to abstain from voting for the resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Disposal.
EGM
The EGM will be convened and held at Units 314–315, Wing On Plaza, 62 Mody Road, TST East, Kowloon, HK on 23 October 2014 at 11:30 a.m. for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Disposal and the transactions contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement.
A notice convening the EGM is set out on page 19 of this circular. Whether or not you intend to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the office of the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Registrars Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the appointed time for holding the meeting or any adjournment thereof.
