LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INFORMATION ON SUNDART HOLDINGS

Sundart Holdings is principally engaged in the business of conducting fitting-out works, construction and civil engineering works, sourcing and distribution of interior decorative materials, supply and installation of timber doors and floorsets, provision of project management services and manufacturing of timber products.

Based on the audited consolidated financial statements of Sundart Holdings as at 31 December 2013, the approximate amounts of net profit (before and after taxation) attributable to 15% shareholding interest in Sundart Holdings for the two immediately preceding financial years were as follows:

(Audited) (Audited)
For the financial For the period from
year ended 1 April 2012 to
31 December 2013 31 December 2012
HK$ HK$
Net profits before taxation of Sundart
Holdings attributable to 15%
shareholding interest therein 25,730,000 16,721,000
Net profits after taxation of Sundart
Holdings attributable to 15%
shareholding interest therein 21,491,000 14,829,000

The unaudited carrying amount of the 15% shareholding interest in Sundart Holdings as at 30 September 2014 was approximately HK$107,759,000.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The Company intends to reallocate its capital into opportunities that offer better potential returns for Shareholders such as real estate investment opportunities. The Disposal is expected to allow the Group to redirect its resources to such investment opportunities.

The Directors consider that the terms of the Agreement and the Share Pledge are fair and reasonable and that the entering into of the Agreement and the Share Pledge is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL ON THE EARNINGS AND ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE GROUP

Effects on earnings

The Group expects to recognise a gain of approximately HK$62,000,000 from the Disposal, which is calculated with reference to the consideration to be received, the estimated carrying amount of the interest in Sundart Holdings as at 30 November 2014 and the estimated expenses related to the Disposal.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Effects on assets and liabilities

The 15% shareholding interest in Sundart Holdings has been classified by the Company as “Interest in associates” which is accounted for using the equity method of accounting in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Following Completion, the Company did not hold any interest in Sundart Holdings, which ceased to be an associate of the Company and its financial results will no longer be accounted for in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Furthermore, the fair value of the payment of Instalment No. 2, Instalment No. 3 and the relevant interest will be recognised as “Other receivables, deposits and prepayment” in the consolidated financial statements, as a result of the outstanding payments to be paid on or before 31 March 2015 and 30 June 2016 respectively.

USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THE DISPOSAL

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Disposal as general working capital.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more of the relevant applicable percentage ratios calculated pursuant to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Disposal exceeds 25% but is less than 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements.

As Tiger Crown is a controlled corporation of Mr. Chan, who is a close business associate of Mr. Ng, and Tiger Crown, Scenemay and their respective controllers are considered concert parties under the Takeovers Code, Tiger Crown, Scenemay and Mr. Ng constitute a closely allied group of Shareholders for the purpose of Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.

As no Shareholder would be required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting to approve the Disposal, and as the Company has obtained written shareholders’ approval of the Disposal and the transactions contemplated thereunder from Tiger Crown, Scenemay and Mr. Ng, which and who as at the date of the written approval held 97,104,000 Shares, 97,104,000 Shares and 84,000,000 Shares respectively, representing approximately 20.34%, 20.34% and 17.59% respectively (and approximately 58.27% in aggregate) of the issued share capital of the Company, the Company is not required to convene a general meeting to approve the Disposal pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.
