To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

MAJOR TRANSACTION DISPOSAL OF 50% IN PROPERTY COMPANY AND FORMATION OF JOINT VENTURE

1. INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 15 December 2015 in relation to the Transactions (i.e. the Announcement).

On 15 December 2015, the Seller, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Purchaser entered into the Disposal Agreement, pursuant to which the Seller agreed to sell and the Purchaser agreed to purchase the Sale Shares, representing 50% of the issued share capital of the Property Company. The Consideration for the Disposal shall be 50% of the aggregate of (i) the Agreed Lot Valuation of HK$1,582,828,282 and (ii) the Completion NAV. Upon Completion, the Property Company will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and a joint venture will be formed between the Seller and the Purchaser on a 50:50 basis pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement.

— 4 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As the highest applicable percentage ratio (as defined under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Transactions exceeds 25% but is less than 75%, the Transactions constitute major transaction for the Company and are subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

The Company has obtained a written approval from a closely allied group of Shareholders which held 536,514,894 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date (representing approximately 52.27% of the issued share capital of the Company) approving the Transactions.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, further information on the Transactions.

2. THE DISPOSAL

On 15 December 2015, the Seller, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Purchaser entered into the Disposal Agreement, pursuant to which the Seller agreed to sell and the Purchaser agreed to purchase the Sale Shares, representing 50% of the issued share capital of the Property Company. Upon Completion, the Property Company will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and a joint venture will be formed between the Seller and the Purchaser on a 50:50 basis pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement.

The Disposal Agreement

Date

15 December 2015

Parties

  • (i) the Seller as seller; and

  • (ii) the Purchaser as purchaser.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, the Purchaser and its ultimate beneficial owner are third parties independent of and not connected with the Company and its connected persons.

Assets to be disposed of

The Property is the only major asset of the Property Subsidiary, which is the sole subsidiary of the Property Company.

— 5 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Consideration

The Consideration for the Disposal shall be 50% of the aggregate of:

  • (a) HK$1,582,828,282, being the value attributed to the Lot as agreed between the parties (the “ Agreed Lot Valuation ”); and

  • (b) the adjusted net asset value of the Property Group as at Completion Date (adjusted to exclude the book cost related to the Lot and the outstanding liability of the Shareholder’s Loan as at the Completion Date) (the “ Completion NAV ”).

The Completion NAV as contemplated under the Disposal Agreement is estimated to be a net liability amount of approximately HK$845,000,000 (the “ Pro-forma Completion NAV” ). Such amount is calculated based on the consolidated net liabilities of the Property Company as at 30 November 2015 (based on the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Property Company) of approximately HK$3,015,000, adjusted to deduct the book cost related to the Lot of approximately HK$955,190,000 and add the estimated amount of outstanding liability of the Shareholder’s Loan as at the Completion Date of approximately HK$113,309,000.

The estimated amount of Consideration is approximately HK$369,000,000, which is 50% of the aggregate of (a) the Agreed Lot Valuation and (b) the Pro-forma Completion NAV (i.e. 50% x - (HK$1,582,828,282 HK$845,000,000)).

Payment

The Consideration shall be paid by the Purchaser in cash and in US$ equivalent of the below amount according to the following schedule:

  • (a) on the date of the Disposal Agreement, a sum of US$2,373,455.86, which the parties agree to be the US$ equivalent of HK$18,395,707 (the “ Deposit ”);

  • (b) at Completion, an amount equivalent to A, where

A = (80% x Estimated Consideration), minus Deposit Estimated = 50% of the aggregate of (i) the Agreed Lot Valuation and (ii) the Consideration Pro-forma Completion NAV as estimated by the Seller in accordance with the terms of the Disposal Agreement (the “ Estimated Consideration ”)

— 6 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Seller and the Purchaser shall agree on the actual amount of the Completion NAV with reference to a Completion NAV statement to be prepared in accordance with the terms of the Disposal Agreement as soon as practicable after Completion, such that:

  • (i) if the Completion NAV is more than the Pro-forma Completion NAV as comprised in the Estimated Consideration, then 50% of such difference shall be added to the payment of the remaining balance of the Consideration as mentioned in item (c) below; and

  • (ii) if the Completion NAV is less than the Pro-forma Completion NAV as comprised in the Estimated Consideration, then 50% of such difference shall be deducted from the payment of the remaining balance of the Consideration as mentioned in item (c) below.

  • (c) on 29 July 2016, the remaining balance of the Consideration. Payment of such remaining balance shall be secured by a share charge on 20% of the Sales Shares (being 10 issued shares in the Property Company) executed by the Purchaser in favour of the Seller upon Completion.

The Deposit is refundable if Completion does not take place by the Completion Date, other than by virtue of any breach of the Disposal Agreement by the Purchaser.

The Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Seller and the Purchaser with reference to the calculation method and factors mentioned in paragraph headed “Consideration” above. The Agreed Lot Valuation was determined with reference to the market valuation from an external independent professional valuer. The Directors consider that the Consideration is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Other arrangements at Completion

It is estimated that after the fulfilment of Condition (d) as mentioned under the paragraph headed “Conditions” below and as at Completion Date, the outstanding amount of the Shareholder’s Loan will stand at approximately HK$113,000,000. The Seller and the Purchaser accept and acknowledge that instead of assigning 50% of the Shareholder’s Loan by the Seller in favour of the Purchaser, 50% of such Shareholder’s Loan shall be repaid at Completion using the amount payable by the Purchaser to the Seller at Completion (i.e. the amount A as mentioned in item (b) under the paragraph headed “Payment” above), such that immediately after Completion, the Property Company shall owe each of the Seller and the Purchaser an equal amount in Shareholder’s Loan.

Project Management Agreement

The Seller shall ensure Tania Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as project manager, and the Property Subsidiary, as employer, to enter into a project management agreement upon Completion, pursuant to which Tania Limited shall provide project management services to the Property Subsidiary from Completion.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Conditions

Completion is subject to the following Conditions:

  • (a) the Property Subsidiary being able to show and give a good title to the Property in accordance with applicable laws subject to the Purchaser’s acceptance of the Property (as shown by the title deeds and any instrument available in public registries) as at the date of the Disposal Agreement save and except for requisitions raised but not satisfied;

  • (b) the Property being free from all encumbrances (except those referred to in the title deeds and any instrument available in public registries and the encumbrances created under certain bank security documents);

  • (c) there being no breach of any of the fundamental warranties under the Disposal Agreement;

  • (d) the Seller having procured the Property Subsidiary to arrange additional bank financing, of which HK$202,000,000 shall be used for partial repayment of Shareholder’s Loan; and

Therefore, it is expected that the above will not have any impact or effect on the substance of the Disposal Agreement.

Completion shall take place on the Completion Date.

— 8 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The consolidated net liabilities of the Property Company as at 31 March 2015 (based on the unaudited consolidated accounts of the Property Company) and as at 30 November 2015 (based on the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Property Company) were approximately HK$2,998,000 and HK$3,015,000 respectively. The unaudited consolidated net losses of the Property Company for the year ended 31 March 2014 and 2015 were approximately HK$22,000 and HK$44,000 respectively and the unaudited consolidated net losses of the Property Company for the eight months ended 30 November 2015 were approximately HK$17,000.

4. USE OF PROCEEDS

Based on the estimated amount of the Consideration and the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Property Company as at 30 November 2015, the Company estimates the net potential gain on the Disposal (i.e. the excess of the Consideration over 50% of the net asset value of the Property Company as at 30 November 2015) to be approximately HK$285,000,000. The sale proceeds are currently intended for general working capital purpose and not for investment in assets.

Upon Completion, the Property Company will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and the accounts of the Property Company will no longer be consolidated in the financial statements of the Company thereafter. The Property Company will be accounted for as a jointly controlled entity of the Company. The Property Company will be held as to 50% by the Seller upon Completion and these remaining interests are currently intended to be retained.

5. THE JV FORMATION

Upon Completion, the Property Company will become a joint venture of the Seller and the Purchaser on a 50:50 basis. The Seller, the Purchaser and the Property Company will enter into the Shareholders Agreement with respect to the Property Company at Completion.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, upon Completion, save for being the 50% shareholder of the Property Company (which will not be accounted for as a subsidiary of the Company), the Purchaser and its ultimate beneficial owner are third parties independent of and not connected with the Company and its connected persons.

Business

The Property Company will continue to act as the investment holding company of the Property Subsidiary. The Property Subsidiary, as the owner of the Lot, shall act as the vehicle implementing the property development project on the Lot, including the completion of the construction and fitting out of the residential units on the Lot, obtaining of the relevant governmental approvals for the property development project, marketing and sales of the completed residential units, and the arrangement of further financing for the property development project.

Funding

In case the property development project on the Lot requires further funding and such funding need cannot be satisfied by the internal resources or external facilities of the Property Group, each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall provide funding of an amount up to HK$50,000,000 to the Property Group during the term of the Shareholders Agreement and the Company will comply with the applicable Listing Rules requirements as and when necessary.

— 9 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Board composition

The board of each of the Property Company and the Property Subsidiary will comprise four directors and each of the Seller and Purchaser shall nominate two directors. The chairman of the board shall be appointed by the Seller but he/she shall not have a second or casting vote in board meetings.

6. INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

The Company is an investment holding company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the manufacture, assembly and sale of electronic watches and watch parts, trading of watch movements and watch parts, property development and investment and hotel operation.

7. INFORMATION ON THE PURCHASER

The Purchaser is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and has no business operation before Completion. Upon Completion, it shall be principally engaged in holding the Sale Shares.

The ultimate beneficial owner of the Purchaser is BPE Asia Real Estate Fund, L.P. (the “ Fund ”), which is a private investment fund organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands that focuses on real estate investment across Asia and Australia. The Fund manages approximately US$365 million and the limited partners of the Fund are primarily pension funds, sovereign wealth funds and fund of funds managers.

The Group had cooperated with another investment fund to develop real estate projects in Hong Kong, all of which had been completed and sold in 2006. Certain senior management members of such investment fund had later become senior investment professionals associated with the Fund (including its managing director and head of real estate) and introduced the Fund to the Group.

Save for the above and the Transactions, the Fund does not have any prior or current business relationships and/or any other connections or relationships with the Company, any of the Directors, controlling shareholder or connected persons of the Company.

8. REASONS FOR AND BENEFIT OF THE TRANSACTIONS

The Directors consider that the Transactions provide a good opportunity for the Group to realise its investment and enhance the liquidity of the Group, as well as providing the Group with a valuable opportunity to co-invest with an investment partner on the development of the Property.

The Property will comprise seven 3-storey detached garden houses plus a basement floor for car parking uses upon completion of development works. As at 15 December 2015 (being the date of valuation as stated in Appendix II of this circular), superstructure works of the development on the Lot was in progress and the development works are scheduled to be completed in December 2016.

— 10 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Marketing programme of the Property will be launched after completion of the development works. It is expected that the Property may be sold or kept for long-term investments depending on the prevailing market conditions. The Company expects that revenue will be generated when the Property are sold or rented. The generation of profit will mostly depend on the market conditions at that time.

The Board concludes that the terms and conditions of the Transactions are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

9. FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE TRANSACTIONS

The net assets of the Group will increase following the Disposal. Although the total assets of the Group (after taking into account the amount of Consideration to be received by the Group) will decrease as a result of the decrease in the share of net book value of the Property Group after the Disposal, such decrease in total assets will be offset by a decrease in bank loan following the Disposal, representing a decrease in the total liabilities of the Group where the Group no longer shares the liabilities of the Property Group after the Disposal. As the extent of the aforesaid decrease in the total liabilities of the Group is larger than the decrease in the total assets of the Group, the net assets of the Group will increase after the Disposal. No income is derived from the Property Group since the Property, which is the only major asset of the Property Group, is still under the development stage. The estimated gain on the Disposal of HK$285 million will increase the profits of the Group.

10. IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

As the highest applicable percentage ratio (as defined under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Transactions exceeds 25% but is less than 75%, the Transactions constitute major transaction for the Company and are subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder or any of their respective close associates have any material interest in the Transactions. As such, no Shareholder would be required to abstain from voting under the Listing Rules if the Company were to convene a general meeting for the approval of such matters.

The Company has a closely allied group of Shareholders which together hold approximately 52.27% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules, the Company has obtained a written approval from Brentford Investments Limited which held 260,813,276 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date (representing approximately 25.41% of the issued share capital of the Company), and from Fenmore Investments Limited which held 275,701,618 Shares as at the date of Latest Practicable Date (representing approximately 26.86% of the issued share capital of the Company), for the approval of the Transactions. The said 260,813,276 Shares held by Brentford Investments Limited are part of the property of a discretionary trust of which each of Messrs. James Lee Yuen Kui and Edward Lee Yuen Cheor is named beneficiary. The said 275,701,618 Shares held by Fenmore Investments Limited are part of the property of a discretionary trust of which Mr. Jimmy Lee Yuen Ching and his family

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

members and Mr. Loewe Lee Bon Chi’s family members are named beneficiaries. Messrs. James Lee Yuen Kui and Edward Lee Yuen Cheor are brothers and they are cousins of Mr. Jimmy Lee Yuen Ching, who is the father of Mr. Loewe Lee Bon Chi. As such, no general meeting will be convened by the Company to approve such matters.

If, despite the said written approval from Brentford Investments Limited and Fenmore Investments Limited having been obtained, voting was required and the Company held a general meeting for the approval of the transactions contemplated under the Agreement, the Directors would have recommended that the Shareholders vote in favour of such resolution.

11. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Your attention is also drawn to the additional information set out in the Appendices to this circular.

2. INDEBTEDNESS OF THE GROUP

As at 30 November 2015, being the latest practicable date for the purpose of the statement of indebtedness prior to the printing of this circular, the Group had outstanding bank borrowings of approximately HK$3,647 million (of which approximately HK$2,932 million was secured by fixed charges on certain of the Group’s assets with net book value of approximately HK$4,647 million, including properties) representing short and long term loans and trust receipt loans. In addition, the Group had outstanding at that date obligations under hire purchase contracts and finance leases of approximately HK$31 million and contingent liabilities in respect of guarantees given to third parties of approximately HK$0.6 million.

Save as aforesaid, and apart from intra-group liabilities, the Group did not have outstanding at the close of business on the Latest Practicable Date any loan capital and/or debt securities issued and outstanding or agreed to be issued or otherwise created but unissued, bank overdrafts, loans or other similar indebtedness, liabilities under acceptances (other than normal trade bills, if any) or acceptable credits, debentures, mortgages, charges, hire purchases commitments, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

Watches and Watch Components

During the six months ended 30 September 2015, the turnover of the Group’s watch manufacturing and watch component trading division decreased slightly as compared with the same period in 2014 while maintaining its profit margin.

The European economic environment remains weak and the decrease of GDP growth in China, coupled with a slower than expected demand for multi-function analogue watches in the U.S. will pose challenges to sales in the coming year. The management will focus on further streamlining its production facilities to reduce cost and the marketing of smart watches and other outdoor electronics products with a more mass appeal.

Property Development and Investment

In respect of the property development and investment business, both the turnover and profit figures have decreased in the six months ended 30 September 2015 due to the lack of significant disposal of the Group’s property.

The construction work for the Property is progressing well and targeted to be completed by the end of 2016. The Group is planning for an exceptionally designed and luxurious interior fit out programme in the first half of 2017.

The boutique office building at 7 St Thomas, Toronto, Canada will be completed by the end of 2016.

The Group is working on the detailed architectural and interior design of the first phase residential tower at our 88 Queen Street East project in Toronto, Canada. Pre-sales preparation for this phase is underway and is anticipated to begin in the first half of 2016.

Hotel Operation

Due to the acquisition of 99 Bonham in June 2014 and The Jervois in October 2014, the sales revenue of the Group’s hotel operation division for the six months ended 30 September 2015 increased significantly as compared with the same period last year.

The recent reduction in the number of tourists from China to Hong Kong has had an impact on most hotels in the region but the effect on the Group’s boutique hotel business has been quite limited as the Group caters more to business and professional clients as well as international travelers and the Group expects our occupancy rate to remain satisfactory.

We have valued the property on the basis that it will be developed and completed in accordance with the Property Subsidiary’s latest development proposal provided to us. We have assumed that all consents, approvals and licences from relevant government authorities for the development proposal have been obtained without onerous condition or delays. In arriving at our valuation, we have made reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the market and applied adjustments to account for differences between the comparables and the property. We have taken into account the expended construction costs and allowed for the costs that will be expended to complete the proposed development. The “capital value if completed at the Date of Valuation” represents our opinion of the market value of the proposed development assuming that were completed at the Date of Valuation.

Source of Information

We have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the Property Subsidiary and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approval, statutory notices, easements, tenure, particulars of occupancy, lettings, rentals, site and floor areas and all other relevant matters. Dimensions and measurements are based on the copies of documents provided to us and are therefore only approximations. No on-site measurement has been carried out.

Title Investigation

We have not been provided with copies of the title documents relating to the property but have caused searches to be made at the Land Registry. However, we have not searched the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain any amendment. All documents have been used for reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximate.
