POSITIVE PROFIT ALERT

This announcement is made by the Company pursuant to Rule 13.09(2)(a) of the Listing Rules and Inside Information Provisions (as defined in the Listing Rules) of Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571, Laws of Hong Kong).

The Board wishes to inform the Shareholders and potential investors that the Group is expected to record an increase of approximately 120.00% to 150.00% in the profit attributable to owners of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2014 as compared to that for the year ended 31 December 2013.

Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company.

This announcement is made by Eternity Investment Limited (the "Company", together with its subsidiaries as the "Group") pursuant to Rule 13.09(2)(a) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules") and Inside Information Provisions (as defined in the Listing Rules) of Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571, Laws of Hong Kong).

The board (the "Board") of directors (the "Directors") of the Company wishes to inform the shareholders (the "Shareholders") of the Company and potential investors that the Group is expected to record an increase of approximately 120.00% to 150.00% in the profit attributable to owners of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2014 as compared to that for the year ended 31 December 2013. This increase is primarily attributable to (i) a HK$117.31 million increase in gain arising on change in fair value upon conversion of convertible notes receivable and (ii) the recognition of a gain of HK$66.88 million recognised on disposal of available-for-sale financial assets, which are partly offset by a HK$30.55 million decrease in imputed interest income on convertible notes receivables and an impairment loss of HK$46.52 million recognised in respect of other receivables, during the year ended 31 December 2014.
