PROPOSED DISPOSAL OF PROPERTY

The Board is pleased to announce that on 7 March 2012 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange), the Vendor entered into the Provisional SPA with the Purchaser for the disposal of the Property at a cash consideration of HK$7,950,000. Major terms of the Provisional SPA are set out below.

THE PROVISIONAL SPA

Date: 7 March 2012

Parties: Vendor: Dynamic Eagle Investments Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company

Purchaser: an individual


To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiry, the Purchaser is an Independent Third Party.

Asset to be disposed

Pursuant to the Provisional SPA, the Vendor has agreed to dispose of, and the Purchaser has agreed to acquire, the Property. The Property is for residential use and is to be sold to the Purchaser on an "as is" basis. The Formal SPA shall be signed on or before 20 March 2012.

The Property is located at Tseung Kwan O, Sai Kung, New Territories. It is in vacant possession since its acquisition by the Group from an Independent Third Party in October 2011. The Group acquired the Property together with a car parking space for investment purpose at a total consideration of HK$6,500,000. Upon completion of the Disposal, the Vendor shall deliver vacant possession of the Property to the Purchaser.

Consideration

The Consideration of HK$7,950,000 has been and shall be settled in cash by the Purchaser in the following manner:

(a) HK$397,500 in cash as initial deposit upon signing of the Provisional SPA;
(b) HK$397,500 in cash as further deposit upon signing of the Formal SPA on or before 20 March 2012; and
(c) the balance of HK$7,155,000 shall be paid upon completion of the Disposal on or before 4 May 2012.

The Consideration was determined after arm's length negotiations between the Purchaser and the Vendor on normal commercial terms with reference to the market value of similar properties in similar locations.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The Company is an investment holding company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in distribution of films, sub-licensing of film rights, sales of financial assets, provision of management services to concierge departments of gaming promoters and property investment.

In view of the Consideration exceeding the cost of acquisition of the Property of HK$6,000,000 by HK$1,950,000, the Board consider that it would be a good opportunity for the Group to dispose of the Property. It is estimated that the Disposal would realise a profit of approximately HK$1,860,500, which is calculated with reference to the Consideration less the cost of acquisition of the Property of HK$6,000,000 and estimated related expenses to be incurred. The actual gain on the Disposal to be recorded by the Group is subject to audit. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Disposal to finance general working capital of the Group.
