LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Consideration

The Consideration, being HK$684,000,000 (subject to adjustment), was determined between the Purchaser and the Vendor on a “willing buyer — willing seller” basis having regards to (i) the Land Grant issued by Macau Government which contemplates the following as to the construction purposes and gross floor areas: (in square meters): (a) Housing 59,160; (b) Commerce 1,700; (c) Private Parking 12,966; (d) Public Parking 9,821; (e) Free area with equipments 428; and (f) Free area without equipments 2,308 (“Land Grant Figures”); and (ii) the price of adjacent plots of land to which the Property is situated. A property valuation of the Property has been conducted by a firm of independent professional valuers valuing the Property at HK$1,380,000,000 as at 31 August 2007. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors), consider that the terms of the S&P Agreement are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Shareholders should refer to the property valuation on the Property as set out in Appendix IXa of this circular. The Vendor had acquired its 75% interest in the Property in July 2007 based on the Land Grant Figures at a consideration of HK$1,026,000,000.

The total Consideration satisfied by the payment by the Company of:

(i) a refundable deposit in the amount of HK$253,000,000 was paid upon the signing of the S&P Agreement;

(ii) a refundable deposit in the amount of HK$137,000,000 was paid on 19 September 2007; and

(iii) the balance of HK$294,000,000 (subject to the deduction of 50% of all outstanding balance of bank loan due from Macau Co to Banco Comercial de Macau S. A. as at Completion) on Completion (the “Balance Payment”).

The refundable deposits of in aggregate HK$390,000,000 shall immediately be returned to the Company without interest in the event of non-completion of the S&P Agreement for whatever reason.

In the event that the Property is constructed with gross floor areas which are less than the Land Grant Figures (“Actual Figures”), then the Consideration shall be reduced by the following Adjustment. The Adjustment is calculated as follows:

$$
\text{Adjustment} = \frac{\text{HK\$684,000,000}}{\text{Land Grant Figures}} \times (\text{Land Grant Figures} - \text{Actual Figures})
$$

In the event that the Adjustment exceeds the Balance Payment, then the Vendor undertakes to pay such excess upon written demand by the Purchaser.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION ON THE GROUP

Reasons and Benefits of the Acquisition

The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The principal subsidiaries of the Company are principally engaged in the distribution of films, sub-licencing of film rights and sale of financial assets and property investment.

With the continuing growth of Macau's economy as well as its property market, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) believe that the Acquisition can enhance the investment portfolio and future earnings of the Group and thus in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Furthermore, the Directors believe that the Acquisition would enable the Group to diversify its businesses and broaden its revenue base which would have a positive impact on the Group's profitability given the Directors' positive outlook of the Macau property market in the near future.

Following Completion, Modern Vision and its subsidiaries will be treated as subsidiaries of the Company and their financial results (including those of Macau Co) will be consolidated into the Group.

The Acquisition is the proposed transaction referred to in the Company's announcement dated 12 June 2007. As to the negotiations of the Company as announced on 29 May 2007 in relation to another proposed acquisition of land in Macau, such negotiations are still ongoing but no formal terms or agreements have yet been finalised or signed as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Financial Effects of the Acquisition

Net assets

As at 30 June 2007, the audited consolidated net assets value of the Group attributable to the equity holders of the Company amounted to HK$652,822,000.

Based on the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix VIII to this circular, the unaudited pro forma consolidated net assets value of the Enlarged Group attributable to the equity holders of the Company would be HK$871,520,000.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Earnings

It is intended that luxury residential apartments to be developed on the Property for sale. Given the strong fundamentals of the Macau economy and the positive outlook of the Macau property market, the Directors consider the Acquisition will contribute positively to the Enlarged Group but the quantification of such impact will depend on future performance of Macau Co.

Gearing ratio

As at 30 June 2007, the total borrowings of the Group was HK$269,400,000 and the Group's gearing ratio calculated as a percentage of total borrowings over total equity was 41%.

As set out in the unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix VIII to this circular, the total borrowings of the Enlarged Group would be increased to HK$395,948,000 and the Enlarged Group's gearing ratio calculated as a percentage of total borrowings over equity attributable to the Company's equity holders would be 45%.

PROSPECTS OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

As the Directors believe that the operating environment for film distribution in the PRC is not likely to improve in coming years, the best strategy for the Group is to slow down its film distribution business and seek other suitable investment opportunities to diversify its revenue base.

With the effect of the PRC's accession into the World Trade Organisation in place and 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Beijing is expected to see an increasing number of expatriates from multinational companies and foreign government institutions, which will lead to continual increase in demand for high-end serviced apartments. The Group's investment properties located at No. 9 Gongyuan Xijie, Dongcheng District, Beijing, the PRC (the "Beijing Property") is under renovation and being transformed from an apartment complex into a high-end serviced apartment. Upon the completion of the renovation, the Beijing Property is expected to meet the demand. It is expected that the Beijing Property will commence operation in the fourth quarter of 2007. The Directors believe that the Beijing Property enables the Group to diversify its earnings base and provides the Group with a stable source of revenue, which will have a positive impact on the Group's profitability.

The Acquisition is in line with the Group's strategy to diversify its revenue base. As Macau has successfully established itself as a world-class gaming and leisure destination in Asia in recent years, Macau is one of the fastest growing economies in Asia. As Bloomberg reported in February 2007, Macau's economy has doubled in the last four years to US$12 billion, with the city now boasting a per capita income of US$24,000. According to the Macau Government figures, Macau residents are on a per capita basis now amongst the wealthiest in the region, second only to those of Japan, having recently overtaken Singapore. Macau's double-digit economic growth has spurred a "real and material demand for high-quality residence". In

— 14 —


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

addition, an influx of expatriates working in casino properties, hotel properties, and convention and exhibition sector is also demanding high-quality residences. The Directors believe that the demand for high quality residential apartments will continue to grow in the foreseeable future.

Following Completion, Modern Vision and its subsidiaries will become subsidiaries of the Group. Upon Completion, whilst the Enlarged Group will continue to carry out its existing business, the Enlarged Group will carry out property investment and development business in Macau via Macau Co. As it is intended that luxury apartments be developed on the Property for sale, the Directors believe that the Acquisition will enable the Enlarged Group to diversify its businesses and broaden its revenue base which would have a positive impact on the Enlarged Group's profitability.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

The Acquisition constitutes a very substantial acquisition for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and not a major transaction as initially indicated when the request for suspension of the Shares was made. This was because the latest management accounts of Macau Co had not been provided to the Company at such time. As the Vendor is a connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company, the Acquisition also constitutes a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to, among other things, the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the SGM. The Vendor and her associates shall abstain from voting at the SGM in respect of the resolution to approve the Acquisition.

There have been no previous transactions entered into between the Company and the Vendor that requires aggregation pursuant to Rule 14A.25 of the Listing Rules.

INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE AND INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Independent Board Committee, comprising all three independent non-executive Directors, has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders in respect of the S&P Agreement and the Acquisition. Grand Cathay Securities (Hong Kong) Limited has been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Acquisition.

PROCEDURES FOR DEMANDING A POLL

Pursuant to bye-law 66 of the bye-laws of the Company, at any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless a poll is (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands or on the withdrawal of any other demand for a poll) demanded by:

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Acquisition constitutes a very substantial acquisition for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. As the Vendor is a connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company, the Acquisition also constitutes a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to, among other things, the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the SGM. The Vendor and her associates shall abstain from voting at the SGM in respect of the resolution to approve the Acquisition.

The Independent Board Committee, comprising Mr. Tang Chak Lam, Gilbert, Mr. Ho Wai Chi, Paul and Mr. Lien Wai Hung, all being independent non-executive Directors, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether the terms of the S&P Agreement are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole. We advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this respect.

Accordingly, we have no reason to suspect that any material facts or information have been withheld or to doubt the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information and representations contained in the Circular and provided to us by the management of the Company and the Directors, or the reasonableness of the opinions expressed by the management of the Company and the Directors.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In formulating our opinion on the Acquisition, we have considered the following factors and reasons:

Acquisition

1. Reasons and effects of the Acquisition

(i) Business of the Group

The Group is principally engaged in the distribution of films, sub-licencing of film rights and sale of financial assets and property investment. According to the Company's annual reports for the financial year ended 31 December 2005 and 2006, the Directors consider that in view of rampant piracy and weak demand for Hong Kong-made movies in the PRC, Hong Kong film production companies adopt a cautious approach in investing films and such difficult operating environment placed strong pressure on the profitability of the Group's film distribution business. The turnover of the Group for distribution of films decreased from approximately HK$27 million in 2004 to approximately HK$164,000 in 2006 which represent a decrease of approximately 99.4% during the period and the turnover of the Group for sub-licensing of films rights decreased from approximately HK$16 million in 2004 to approximately HK$200,000 in 2006 which represent a decrease of over 98% during the period. According to Hong Kong Movie Archive, the number of Hong Kong-made movie published decreased from 122 in 2001 to 59 in 2006 and the box office also decreased from approximately HK$1,040 million to approximately HK$946 million during the same period.

In view of rampant piracy and weak demand for Hong Kong-made movies in the PRC, the Directors consider that it is the policy of the Company to diversify and broaden its revenue base which would have a positive impact on the Group's profitability. With the effect of the PRC's accession into the World Trade Organisation in place and 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Beijing is expected to see an increasing number of expatriates from multinational companies and foreign government institution, the Group acquired 96.7% equity interest in a property located in Dongcheng District, Beijing, the PRC on 21 June 2006. The Directors believe that the aforesaid acquisition enables the Group to diversify its earnings base and provides the Group with a stable source of revenue.

— 21 —


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

With the continuing growth of Macau's economy as well as its property market, the Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors) believe that the Acquisition can enhance the investment portfolio and future earnings of the Group and is in line of the Group's policy to diversify its earnings base and thus in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

According to the data from Statistics and Census Service of Macau, the gross domestic product per capita increased from approximately MOP181,600 in 2004 to approximately MOP227,500 in 2006 which represent an increase of approximately 25% during the period. The number of residential units transacted increased from approximately 15,600 in 2004 to approximately 17,200 in 2006, the value of residential units transacted increased from approximately MOP10.5 billion to approximately MOP19.1 billion during the same period which represent an increase of approximately 82% during the period.

Based on (i) the recent poor movie industry condition; (ii) the Group's policy to diversify and broaden its revenue; and (iii) the recent upward trend of the economy and property market of Macau, we are of the view and concur with the view of the Directors that the Acquisition can enhance the investment portfolio and future earnings of the Group and, thus, is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

(ii) Business of Modern Vision, Over Profit, Summer Sound and Macau Co

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

A property valuation on the Property has been conducted by DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited (the "Valuer"), an independent professional valuer ("Valuation Report"), on an open market basis valuing the Property at approximately HK$1,380 million as at 31 August 2007.

Please refer to the section headed "Information on Modern Vision, Over Profit, Summer Sound and Macau Co" in the Letter for their detailed information.

(iii) Benefits of the Acquisition

According to the Company's annual report for the year ended 31 December 2006 (the "Annual Report"), the Group recorded a turnover of approximately HK$17.5 million, representing a decrease of approximately 54% to that of the previous year. According to the Directors, the substantial decrease in the Group's turnover was mainly due to (a) the decrease in the turnover generated from distribution of films (decreased from approximately HK$9.4 million, representing approximately 25% of total turnover in 2005, to approximately HK$164,000, representing approximately 1% of total turnover in 2006); and (b) the decrease in the turnover generated from the sub-licensing of film rights (decreased from approximately HK$11 million, representing approximately 27% of total turnover in 2005, to approximately HK$200,000, representing approximately 1% of total turnover in 2006). Amongst the turnover, approximately HK$15.2 million and HK$1.9 million came from the sale of financial assets and property investment respectively which representing approximately 87% and 11% of the Group's total turnover in 2006.

According to the data from Statistics and Census Service of Macau, the gross domestic product per capita increased from approximately MOP181,600 in 2004 to approximately MOP227,500 in 2006 which represent an increase of approximately 25% during the period. The number of casino increased from 15 in 2004 to 24 in 2006 and the gross gaming revenue increase from approximately MOP41 billion in 2004 to approximately MOP56.6 billion in 2006. The number of residential units transacted increased from approximately 15,600 in 2004 to approximately 17,200 in 2006, the value of residential units transacted increased from approximately MOP10.5 billion to approximately MOP19.1 billion during the same period which represent an increase of approximately 82% during the period. The Board is of the view that, with the continuing growth of Macau's economy, casino industry as well as its property market, the development of the Property has business potential and the Acquisition is beneficial to the Group and the Shareholders as a whole. Based on the above, we concur with the view of the Directors.

— 24 —


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Acquisition is in line with the medium term to long-term development objective of the Company which is to diversify its businesses according to the Directors. This will have to be weighted against the risks in developing the Property and selling the residential and commercial units developed on the Property. With regard to the sales of the residential and commercial units developed on the Property, we are of the view that since the Property is still under development and the construction work has not yet commenced and the pre-sale of the development has not yet started, it is impossible to assess with certainty the response of the market towards the residential and commercial units developed on the Property and thus the potential financial benefits to the Group. Independent Shareholders should note that the Directors' view regarding the positive outlook of the property market of Macau is based on the recent development of Macau' economy and the property market in Macau.

There is also the possibility of the Group conducting the Acquisition only after the completion of the Property to mitigate the uncertainties and risks involved. However, in the view of the Directors, in such an event, the valuation of the Property would likely be different and would likely to be higher.

Overall, based on: (i) the recent poor movie industry condition; (ii) the Group's policy to diversify and broaden its revenue; (iii) the recent economy performance of Macau; and (iv) the Acquisition is in line with the Group's business strategy, we are of the view and concur with the view of the Directors that the Acquisition is beneficial to the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

  1. Consideration and funding for the Acquisition

(i) Basis of the consideration

Pursuant to the S&P Agreement, the aggregate consideration for the Acquisition is HK$684 million which is payable in cash in three instalments as stated in the Letter. This consideration has been determined after arm's length negotiation between the Company and the Vendor on a "willing buyer-willing seller" basis having regards to (i) the Land Grant Figures and (ii) the price of adjacent plots of land to which the Property is situated. The Vendor had acquired its 75% interest in the Property based on the Land Grant Figures at a consideration of HK$1,026 million.

Although the determination of the Consideration is based on the "willing buyer-willing seller" basis between the Vendor and the Purchaser, we consider that it is more appropriate to assess the fairness of the Consideration based on the Valuation Report.

— 25 —


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We have reviewed and discussed with the Valuer, the methodology and bases and assumption regarding the Valuation Report and are of the view that they are reasonably prepared. Further details can be found in the section headed "Valuation of the Property" below. Compared to the value of 50% equity interest of the Property which is of approximately HK$690 million accordingly to the Valuation Report, the Consideration represents a slight discount. We are of the view that the Consideration for the Acquisition is fair to the Group as it represents a discount to the value of the Property as stated in the Valuation Report.

(ii) Funding for the Acquisition

The Consideration under the S&P Agreement is approximately HK$684 million which will be satisfied, according to the Directors, in cash from internal resources of the Company, the net proceeds from the Open Offer and/or other methods of funding.

According to the Directors, as at the Latest Practicable Date, HK$390 million of the Consideration has been paid to the Vendor and the balance of HK$294 million will be paid on or before 8 April 2008. According to the Directors, HK$189 million out of the balance of approximately HK$294 million would be satisfied by the net proceeds from the Open Offer, while the funding method of the remaining balance has not yet confirmed as the payment date is on or before 8 April 2008. The Directors intend to settle the remaining balance by other methods of funding such as bank borrowing.

Notwithstanding the above, the Acquisition represents a significant commitment in the near future for the Group as the Property has been identified by the Group as one of its key investment in its business development. Given the funding requirements for the development of the Property as stated below, the Group's ability to venture into other businesses in the near term may be limited. The Group has therefore committed fully to the investment as it is convinced with the potential of the Property. Independent Shareholders should take into consideration that if the Acquisition is approved, the development of the Property will become one of the Group's main business development areas in addition to the Group's current businesses.

(iii) Funding for the future development and sales of the Property

According to the Directors, the estimated development costs for the Property is approximately HK$430 million, which is based on construction cost data/index available from quantity surveyors.

— 26 —


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

According to the Directors, as at the Latest Practicable Date, HK$390 million of the Consideration has been paid to the Vendor and the balance of HK$294 million, according to the Directors, will be paid on or before 8 April 2008. The Directors consider that the development cost i.e. approximately HK$430 million will be financed by bank borrowings and/or proceeds to be generated from the pre-sale of the residential section of the Property.

If the development and sales of the constructed Property are proved to be successful, the Group will likely achieve a satisfaction return on its investment. However, this will have to be weighted against the risks of the development of the Property and sales of the residential and commercial units on the Property. With regard to the development of the Property, we are of the view that since the development of the Property has not completed and the payment method for the development costs is yet to be determined, it is impossible to assess with certainty the costs of such development and the market reaction towards the Property and therefore it is impossible to work out the repayment ability and the potential financial benefits to the Group. Independent Shareholders should note that the projections of the Directors are based on the existing property markets in Macau, in light of the current economic condition in Macau.

(iv) Valuation of the Property

As set out in the Letter, the consideration of the Acquisition is determined based on the "willing buyer-willing seller" basis between the Purchaser and the Vendor, and with reference to the Land Grant Figures and the price of adjacent plots of land to which the Property is situated.

Although the determination of the Consideration is based on the "willing buyer-willing seller" basis between the Vendor and the Purchaser, we consider that it is more appropriate to assess the fairness of the Consideration based on the valuation report that prepared by the professional property valuer.

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the valuation, we have reviewed the methodology, bases and assumption underlying the Valuation Report.

(a) Methodology

It was stated in the Valuation Report that the Valuer used the direct comparison approach to value the Property. The Valuer adopted the direct comparison approach by making reference to comparable sales transactions as available in the relevant market.

— 27 —


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(b) Bases and assumption

We have discussed with the Valuer regarding the basis of the valuation and the underlying assumptions which included the following:

(a) the owner of the Property has valid and enforceable title to the property interest which is freely transferable, and has free and uninterrupted right to use the same for the whole of the unexpired term granted subjected to a payment of annual government rent;

(b) the property interest of the Property is sold in the open market excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangement, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value;

(c) no allowance has been made in the valuations for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the Property nor any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale; and

(d) the Property are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of any onerous nature which could affect their values.

Having considered the above, we are of the view that the valuation performed by the valuer is fair.

(v) Business prospects and risks associated with the Property

(a) Business prospects

In an attempt to ascertain the prospects of the Property, we have reviewed (i) the budget prepared by the Company which illustrated the information regarding the estimated construction costs and the sale proceeds from the development of the Property; and (ii) the Valuation Report.

We are of the view that the budget is reasonably prepared and if such budget materialise, the Acquisition will provide financial benefits to the Group.

— 28 —


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(b) Risks

As previously mentioned, we consider that there are uncertainties associated with the Acquisition notwithstanding the potential significant benefits and these uncertainties and risks included: (i) the commercial marketability of the residential and commercial units on the Property and the time as to when the Company can and will launch sale of the residential and commercial units on the Property; and (ii) the possible impact of investment loss to the Group in the event of failure to develop the Property or an ill-investment decision which led to financial loss to the Group.

Accordingly, we would like to point out the potential risks and returns associated with the Acquisition. The Property may or may not perform as projected, which will significantly affect the Group's financial performance. The Acquisition will, therefore, result in a significant change in the risk profile of the Group's businesses, which may or may not in accordance with the risk/return preferences of individual shareholders.

(vi) Financial effects of the Acquisition on the Group

The following sets out the impact of the Acquisition on the financial position of the Group:

(a) Net asset value

A pro forma statement of the unaudited adjusted combined assets and liabilities of the Enlarged Group comprising the Group, Modern Vision, Over Profit, and Summer Sound Group as set out in appendix VIII to the Circular was prepared using the unaudited net asset value of the Group as at 30 June 2007 and adjusted by the fund raising activities as announced by the Company on 25 June 2007 and 25 July 2007 and the valuation of the capital value of the property interest of the Property in existing state. Based on the aforesaid, upon the completion of the Acquisition, the unaudited pro forma net asset value of the Enlarge Group attributable to the equity holders of the Company would be approximately HK$871.5 million. We are of the view that since the unaudited net asset value of the Group would increase from approximately HK$652.8 million as at 30 June 2007, the latest published financial statement, to approximately HK$871.5 million upon the completion of the Acquisition, the Acquisition is beneficial to the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

— 29 —


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(b) Profit and loss account

According to appendix VIII to the Circular, a gain on the discount on acquisition of approximately HK$258.5 million will be generated from the Acquisition. According to the accounting policies of the Group, the gain on the discount on acquisition will be adjusted to the consolidated income statement of the Group.

It is intended that luxury residential apartments will be developed on the Property for sale. Given the strong fundamentals of Macau economy, the Directors consider the Acquisition will contribute positively to the Enlarged Group but the quantification of such impact will depend on the property market in Macau in the future.

(c) Gearing

As at 30 June 2007, the Group had total borrowing of approximately HK$269.4 million, representing a gearing ratio (which is calculated as the total borrowing divided by the net assets of the Group attributable to the equity holders of the Company) of approximately 41% thereof. Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information following Completion as set out in appendix VIII to the Circular, the unaudited total borrowing and net assets of the Enlarged Group attributable to the equity holders of the Company (including Modern Vision and its subsidiaries) would increase to approximately HK$395.9 million and HK$871.5 million respectively, representing a gearing ratio of approximately 45%. In view of the position, we consider that the level of gearing of the Enlarged Group (including Modern Vision and its subsidiaries) to be acceptable.

(d) Working capital

According to appendix VIII to the Circular, the Group had an unaudited net current assets of approximately HK$179.2 million as of 30 June 2007. On a pro forma basis, the Enlarged Group's net current assets will change to net current liabilities of approximately HK$538.0 million upon the completion of the Acquisition. We are of the view that the Enlarged Group should have sufficient working capital for its present requirement based on: (a) the working capital forecast prepared by the Group; and (b) the future funding requirements for the development of the Property which would be financed by other methods of funding such as bank borrowing and pre-sale of the residential section of the Property.

Distribution of films

The Group distributes its films in video format for home entertainment in the PRC.

In 2004, the film distribution business was adversely affected by the rampant piracy and a decline in popularity of Hong Kong-made movies. These difficult market conditions placed price pressure on the Group's films. As a result, the Group became more cost cautions in acquiring film rights and reduced the number of new films released.

In response to the weak market conditions in the PRC, the Group adopted a cautious approach in acquiring film rights and further reduced the number of new films released in 2005 and 2006.

Sub-licensing of film rights

The Group sub-licenses the whole or part of its distribution rights to films to cinema operators, other distributors or operators of pay or free-to-air television, cable television and hotel in-house video for a limited period of usually five to seven years.


APPENDIX I

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The lifting of foreign film quota restrictions by the PRC Government in 2004 intensifies the competition between Hollywood and Hong Kong. As the PRC first-tier cinemas have strong preference for exhibiting Hollywood films and the local television stations illegally broadcast the Group's films, the film sub-licensing business was adversely affected.

Sale of financial assets

With a view to generating an adequate return on its assets, the Group commenced its business in sale of financial assets in 2004. The Group mainly invests in listed securities in Hong Kong.

Property investment

In view of rampant piracy and weak demand for Hong Kong-made movies in the PRC, the Group has diversified and broadened its revenue sources by acquiring a property investment company in June 2006. The major asset of the property investment company is the Beijing Property. The Beijing Property is currently held as a long-term investment for rental purposes.

As the Beijing Property is under renovation, no rental income is generated from the apartment units. The rental income for the year ended 31 December 2006 and the six months ended 30 June 2007 were generated from the leasing of the ground floor of the Beijing Property.

Analysis on the results of operation of the Group during the three years ended 31 December 2006 and the six months ended 30 June 2006 and 2007

Turnover

The Group's turnover for the year ended 31 December 2004 amounted to HK$58,382,000, representing a decrease of 72% as compared with the year ended 31 December 2003. The decrease was mainly attributed to a decrease in the number of films distributed and sub-licensed, and a decrease in average income per new film resulting from the rampant piracy and the decline in popularity of Hong Kong-made movies in the PRC.

For the year ended 31 December 2005, the Group's turnover amounted to HK$38,339,000, a 34% decrease from HK$58,382,000 for the previous year. The decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in the number of films distributed and sub-licensed resulting from the adopting of a cautious approach in acquiring film rights by the Group.

The Group's turnover further decreased from HK$38,339,000 for the year ended 31 December 2005 to HK$17,476,000 for the year ended 31 December 2006. The decrease was mainly attributable to the slow down of the Group's film distribution activities resulted from the difficult market conditions.

APPENDIX I
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Group recorded a turnover of HK$29,191,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2007, a 129% increase from HK$12,762,000 for the same period of the previous year. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase in sales of financial assets activity. In view of the persisted difficult market conditions for Hong Kong-made movies in the PRC, the Group has slowed down its film distribution business. As a result, no revenue was generated from film distribution business during the six months ended 30 June 2007.

Cost of sales and gross profit margin

The Group's cost of sales for the year ended 31 December 2004 amounted to HK$48,674,000, out of which HK$16,238,000 was related to sale of financial assets. During the year, the Group's sale of financial assets recorded a loss of HK$1,460,000. Cost of sales for film distribution and sub-licensing of film rights decreased from HK$61,180,000 in the year ended 31 December 2003 to HK$32,436,000 in the year ended 31 December 2004. The decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in amortisation of film rights, which was the result of distributing and sub-licensing a less number of films in the year ended 31 December 2004. Gross profit margin for the distribution and sub-licensing businesses dropped from 70% in the year ended 31 December 2003 to 26% in the year ended 31 December 2004. This was attributed to the decrease in average income per new film resulted from the rampant privacy, the decline in popularity of Hong Kong films and the better margins the Group obtained from the distribution business through the sale of 320 old film rights in the year ended 31 December 2003, the cost of which had almost been fully amortised.

Cost of sales for the year ended 31 December 2005 amounted to HK$36,466,000, out of which HK$20,374,000 was related to sale of financial assets. During the year ended 31 December 2005, the Group's sale of financial assets recorded a loss of HK$1,951,000. Taking into account the dividend income of HK$627,000 recorded in other revenue, the performance of the Group's sale of financial assets was a loss of HK$1,324,000. Cost of sales for film distribution and sub-licensing of film rights decreased from HK$32,436,000 in the year ended 31 December 2004 to HK$16,092,000 in the year ended 31 December 2005. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in amortisation of film rights resulting from the decrease in the number distributed and sub-licensed. Gross profit margin for film distribution and sub-licensing of film rights dropped from 26% in the year ended 31 December 2004 to 19% in the year ended 31 December 2005. The drop in gross profit margin was attributed to the better margins the Group obtained from the delivery of 108 old films in 2004, the cost of which had already been almost fully amortised.

Cost of sales for the year ended 31 December 2006 amounted to HK$13,998,000, out of which HK$13,461,000 was related to sale of financial assets and HK$271,000 was related to property investment. Cost of sales for film distribution and sub-licensing of film rights decreased from HK$16,092,000 for the year ended 31 December 2005 to HK$266,000 for the year ended 31 December 2006. The decrease was attributed to the slow down of the Group's film distribution activities. Gross profit margin for film distribution and sub-licensing of film rights improved from 19% in the year ended 31 December 2005 to 27% in the year ended 31 December 2006.

— 35 —


APPENDIX I
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The improvement in gross profit margin was attributed to the cost of certain films sold in 2006 had already been fully amortised. For the year ended 31 December 2006, the Group recorded a gross profit of HK$1,768,000 for sales of financial assets. Taking into account the dividend income of HK$754,000 and an increase in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of HK$5,360,000, the performance of the Group's sale of financial assets was a profit of HK$7,882,000.

Cost of sales for the six months ended 30 June 2007 amounted to HK$24,465,000, out of which HK$24,345,000 was related to sales of financial assets and HK$120,000 was related to property investment. For the six months ended 30 June 2007, the Group recorded a gross profit of HK$3,230,000 for sales of financial assets, a 23% increase from HK$2,618,000 for the same period of the previous year. Taking into account the dividend income of HK$30,000 and the increase in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of HK$15,637,000, the performance of the Group's sales of financial assets was a profit of HK$18,897,000. Gross profit of property investment amounted to HK$1,496,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2007. As the Beijing Property is currently under renovation, the contribution represented the rental income generated from the leasing of the ground floor of the Beijing Property to a restaurant operator.

Other revenue

Other revenue usually comprised dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, interest income on bank deposits and sundry income.

Other revenue increased from HK$390,000 in the year ended 31 December 2004 to HK$2,066,000 in the year ended 31 December 2005. The increase was mainly attributed to an increase in bank interest income of HK$1,399,000 resulting from the increase in the Group's bank deposits and the receipt of dividend income of HK$627,000 from the Group's financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Other revenue further increased from HK$2,066,000 in the year ended 31 December 2005 to HK$5,699,000 in the year ended 31 December 2006. The increase was mainly attributed to an increase in bank interest income of HK$2,975,000 resulting from the top-up placing of new shares raising HK$131,179,000 in September 2005.

Other revenue decreased from HK$3,090,000 in the six months ended 30 June 2006 to HK$1,307,000 in the six months ended 30 June 2007. The decrease was mainly attributed to a decrease in interest income on bank deposits of HK$1,238,000.

Other income

For the year ended 31 December, 2005, other income represented a gain of HK$7,110,000 arising from the sale of the Group's leasehold land and buildings in July 2005.

— 36 —


APPENDIX I
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Other income for the year ended 31 December 2006 amounted to HK$5,560,000 and was mainly derived from the increase in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, which amounted to HK$5,360,000.

For the six months ended 30 June 2007, other income amounted to HK$122,593,000. It represented the increase in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of HK$15,637,000 and a gain of HK$106,956,000 arising from the loan interest waived by China Merchants Bank.

Loss/profit from operations

The Group recorded a loss from operations of HK$267,730,000 for the year ended 31 December 2004. The loss was mainly attributed to the decrease in turnover resulted from a decline in popularity of Hong Kong-made movies and rampant privacy in the PRC, an allowance made for advances to an associate of HK$138,531,000 and the impairment losses of HK$102,797,000 recognised in respect of film rights, other asset, goodwill and available-for-sale financial assets.

Loss from operations improved from HK$267,730,000 in the year ended 31 December 2004 to HK$29,324,000 in the year ended 31 December 2005. The improvement was mainly attributable to the fact that the Group did not record any allowance for advances to an associate and impairment losses for other asset and available-for-sale financial assets in 2005, while the Group recorded such allowance of HK$138,531,000 and impairment losses of HK$58,512,000 in 2004. In addition, the impairment losses recognised in respect of film rights and goodwill decreased from HK$44,285,000 in the year ended 31 December 2004 to HK$21,012,000 in the year ended 31 December 2005

Loss from operations further improved from HK$29,324,000 in the year ended 31 December 2005 to HK$11,484,000 in the year ended 31 December 2006. The improvement was mainly attributable to the fact that the Group did not record any impairment losses recognised in respect of film rights and goodwill in the year ended 31 December 2006, while the Group recorded such impairment losses of HK$21,012,000 in the previous year. This improvement was partly offset by the increase in administrative expenses of HK$7,479,000 resulted from the Group's expansion into property investment business.

Profit from operations amounted to HK$99,282,000 in the six months ended 30 June 2007, whereas a loss from operations of HK$472,000 was recorded for the same period of the previous year. This was attributable to the recognition of a gain of HK$106,956,000 arising from the loan interest waived by China Merchants Bank in the six months ended 30 June 2007. The gain on loan interest waived was partially offset by the share-based payment expenses of HK$13,688,000.

APPENDIX I
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Taxation

The Group recorded a taxable profit for the year ended 31 December 2004 and a provision of HK$277,000 was made.

No provision for tax was made for the year ended 31 December 2005 as the Group either had no estimated assessable profits or its estimated assessable profits were wholly absorbed by estimated tax losses brought forward.

The taxation charge for the year ended 31 December 2006 represented a transfer of deferred tax to income statement, which was arisen from the revaluation of the Group's investment properties.

No provision for tax was made for the six months ended 30 June 2007 as the Group had no estimated assessable profit or taxable income.

Loss/profit for the year/period

Loss for the year ended 31 December 2004 improved from HK$268,347,000 to HK$29,664,000 for the year ended 31 December 2005. The substantial improvement was mainly attributed to an allowance of HK$138,531,000 made against advances to an associate and the impairment losses of HK$58,512,000 recognised in respect of other asset and available-for-sale financial assets in 2004. In addition, the Group recorded a decrease in impairment losses recognised in respect of film rights and goodwill as explained above.

Loss further improved from HK$29,664,000 for the year ended 31 December 2005 to HK$21,294,000 for the year ended 31 December 2006. The improvement was mainly attributable to no impairment losses recognised in respect of film rights and goodwill, which was partially offset by the increases in administrative expenses of HK$7,479,000 and finance costs of HK$9,275,000 resulted from the Group's expansion into property investment business.

The Group recorded a profit of HK$90,948,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2007, whereas the Group recorded a loss of HK$1,140,000 in the six months ended 30 June 2006. The turnaround was attributable to the recognition of a gain of HK$106,956,000 arising from the loan interest waived by China Merchants Bank, which was partially offset by the share-based payment expenses of HK$13,688,000 in relation to share options granted to certain employees and consultants.

APPENDIX I
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Exchange risk and hedging

As the majority of the Group’s transactions, assets and liabilities are denominated in Hong Kong dollars and Reminbi, the exchange rate risk of the Group is considered to be minimal.

Macau Co has submitted to the Macau Government an application to have the Land Grant amended. On 27 September 2006, the Macau Government sent Macau Co a draft of contract of amendment to the Land Grant which contemplates the following as to construction purposes and gross floor areas (i) housing 59,160 square meters; (ii) commerce 1,700 square meters; (iii) private parking 12,966 square meters; (iv) public parking 9,821 square meters; (v) free area with equipment 428 square meters; (iv) free area without equipment 2,308 square meters. On 2 October 2006, Macau Co sent a reply to the Macau Government accepting the draft contract of amendment to the Land Grant. The amendment to the Land Grant will be completed upon publication of the Gazette of the contract of amendment to the Land Grant.


APPENDIX I

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

It is intended that luxury residential apartments be developed on the Property for sale. As the amendment to the Land Grant is underway, the Property is vacant and pending for development.

As Macau Co has not carried out any business or trading, no sale or turnover was recorded for each of the three years ended 31 December 2006 and the five months ended 31 May 2007.

Analysis on the results of operation of Macau Co during the three years ended 31 December 2006 and the five months ended 31 May 2007

Other revenue

Other revenue comprised bank interest income.

Other revenue increased from HK$1,000 in the year ended 31 December 2005 to HK$922,000 in the year ended 31 December 2006. The increase was attributed to an increase in bank balance resulted from cash advanced from a director.

Other revenue increased from HK$165,000 in the five months ended 31 May 2006 to HK$446,000 in the five months ended 31 May 2007. The increase was due to the full five-month effect of bank interest income on bank deposits as the cash advance was made by a director in the second quarter of 2006.

Taxation

No provision for profits tax was made for each of three years ended 31 December 2006 and the five months ended 31 May 2006 and 2007 as Macau Co did not have any assessable profit.

Profit/(loss) for the year/period

As Macau Co has not carried out any business and trading activities, Macau Co recorded minimal profit for the year ended 31 December 2004 and 2006, and the five months ended 31 May 2007 of HK$2,000, HK$891,000 and HK$442,000 respectively. For the year ended 31 December 2005, Macau Co recorded a loss of HK$3,000. The improvements in profit for the year ended 31 December 2006 and the five months ended 31 May 2007 were attributed to the increase in bank interest income resulted from the increase in cash and bank balances since the second quarter of 2006.

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON MODERN VISION

II. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. General information

Modern Vision was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability on 25 May 2007. The registered office of Modern Vision is located at Portcullis TrustNet Chambers, P.O. Box 3444, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands.

During the Relevant Period, Modern Vision has not yet commenced business.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

The HKICPA issued a number of new or revised Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) and Interpretations (“INTs”) (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “new HKFRSs”) which are currently in use and effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007. For the purpose of preparing and presenting Financial Information of the Relevant Period, Modern Vision has adopted all these new HKFRSs over the Relevant Period.

Modern Vision has not early applied the following new and revised standards and interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective. The directors of Modern Vision anticipate that the applications of these new standards and interpretations will have no material impact on the Financial Information of Modern Vision.

HKAS 23 (Revised) Borrowing Costs^{1}
HKFRS 8 Operating Segments^{1}
HK(IFRIC) — INT 11 HKFRS 2 – Group and Treasury Share Transactions^{2}
HK(IFRIC) — INT 12 Service Concession Arrangements^{3}
  1. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009
  2. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 March 2007
  3. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of this Financial Information are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the Relevant Period presented, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Basis of preparation

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”), which is a collective term that includes all applicable individual HKFRSs, HKASs and INTs issued by the HKICPA, accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. In addition, the Financial Information includes applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”) and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

The Financial Information has been prepared under historical cost convention. The preparation of the Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgements in the process of applying Modern Vision’s accounting policies.

The Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”) which is the functional currency of Modern Vision.


APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON MODERN VISION

(b) Revenue recognition

No turnover was generated during the Relevant Period.

(c) Impairment of assets

Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment of assets, or whether there is any indication that an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is charged to the income statement in the year in which it arises, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, when the impairment loss is accounted for in accordance with the relevant policy for that revalued asset.

Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its net selling price and value in use. The net selling price is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm's length transaction while value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of any asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of asset that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash generating unit).

(d) Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit is the profit for the period, determined in accordance with the rules established by the taxation authorities, upon which income taxes are payable.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary difference can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill (or negative goodwill) or from the initial recognition (other than a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

— 55 —


APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON MODERN VISION

(e) Other receivables

Other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that Modern Vision will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the income statement.

(f) Translation of foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges or qualifying net investment hedges.

(g) Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of Modern Vision. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably. A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the Financial Information. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable, they will then be recognised as a provision.

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of Modern Vision. A contingent asset is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the Financial Information when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. When inflow is virtually certain, an asset is recognised.

(h) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when Modern Vision has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that Modern Vision will be required to settle that obligations. Provisions are measured at the directors’ best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.

(i) Related parties transactions

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influences. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON MODERN VISION

3. Financial risk management

Fair value estimation

The carrying amount of Modern Vision's financial asset, including other receivables approximates to its fair value due to its short maturity. The face values less any credit adjustments for financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate to their fair values.

The fair value of financial assets for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate available to Modern Vision for similar financial instruments.

4. Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Modern Vision makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Capital risk management

Modern Vision's objectives of managing capital are to safeguard Modern Vision's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide adequate returns for shareholders in the long term and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, Modern Vision may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

Consistent with others in the industry, Modern Vision monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as total equity plus net debt.

5. Other receivables

The directors of Modern Vision consider that the carrying amounts of other receivables approximate to their fair values.

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON OVER PROFIT

II. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. General information

Over Profit was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability on 20 April 2007. The registered office of Over Profit is located at Portcullis TrustNet Chambers, P.O. Box 3444, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands.

During the Relevant Period, Over Profit has not yet commenced business.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

The HKICPA issued a number of new or revised Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) and Interpretations (“INTs”) (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “new HKFRSs”) which are currently in use and effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007. For the purpose of preparing and presenting Financial Information of the Relevant Period, Over Profit has adopted all these new HKFRSs over the Relevant Period.

Over Profit has not early applied the following new and revised standards and interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective. The directors of Over Profit anticipate that the applications of these new standards and interpretations will have no material impact on the Financial Information of Over Profit.

HKAS 23 (Revised) Borrowing Costs^{1}
HKFRS 8 Operating Segments^{1}
HK(IFRIC) – INT 11 HKFRS 2 – Group and Treasury Share Transactions^{2}
HK(IFRIC) – INT 12 Service Concession Arrangements^{3}
  1. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009
  2. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 March 2007
  3. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of this Financial Information are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the Relevant Period presented, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Basis of preparation

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”), which is a collective term that includes all applicable individual HKFRSs, HKASs and INTs issued by the HKICPA, accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. In addition, the Financial Information includes applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”) and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

The Financial Information has been prepared under historical cost convention. The preparation of the Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgements in the process of applying Over Profit’s accounting policies.


APPENDIX III

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON OVER PROFIT

The Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong Dollars ("HK$") which is the functional currency of Over Profit.

(b) Revenue recognition

No turnover was generated during the Relevant Period.

(c) Impairment of assets

Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment of assets, or whether there is any indication that an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is charged to the income statement in the year in which it arises, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, when the impairment loss is accounted for in accordance with the relevant policy for that revalued asset.

Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its net selling price and value in use. The net selling price is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm's length transaction while value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of any asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of asset that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash generating unit).

(d) Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit is the profit for the period, determined in accordance with the rules established by the taxation authorities, upon which income taxes are payable.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary difference can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill (or negative goodwill) or from the initial recognition (other than a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

— 68 —


APPENDIX III
ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON OVER PROFIT

(e) Other receivables

Other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that Over Profit will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the income statement.

(f) Translation of foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges or qualifying net investment hedges.

(g) Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of Over Profit. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably. A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the Financial Information. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable, they will then be recognised as a provision.

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of Over Profit. A contingent asset is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the Financial Information when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. When inflow is virtually certain, an asset is recognised.

(h) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when Over Profit has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that Over Profit will be required to settle that obligations. Provisions are measured at the directors' best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.

(i) Related parties transactions

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influences. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

APPENDIX III

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON OVER PROFIT

3. Financial risk management

Fair value estimation

The carrying amount of Over Profit’s financial asset, including other receivables approximates to its fair value due to its short maturity. The face values less any credit adjustments for financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate to their fair values.

The fair value of financial assets for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate available to Over Profit for similar financial instruments.

4. Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Over Profit makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Capital risk management

Over Profit’s objectives of managing capital are to safeguard Over Profit’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide adequate returns for shareholders in the long term and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, Over Profit may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

Consistent with others in the industry, Over Profit monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as total equity plus net debt.

5. Other receivables

The directors of Over Profit consider that the carrying amounts of other receivables approximate to their fair values.

APPENDIX IV

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON THE SUMMER SOUND GROUP

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The Financial Information has been prepared by the directors of Summer Sound based on the unaudited consolidated management accounts of Summer Sound Group, after making adjustments as are appropriate (the "Underlying Financial Information"). Adjustments have been made, for the purpose of this report, to restate the Underlying Financial Information to conform with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and the disclosure requirements of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange").

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS

The directors of Summer Sound are responsible for the preparation of the Financial Information which gives a true and fair view. In preparing the Financial Information which gives a true and fair view, it is fundamental that appropriate accounting policies are selected and applied consistently, that judgements and estimates are made which are prudent and reasonable and that reasons for any significant departure from applicable accounting standards are stated.

It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our audit, on the Financial Information.

BASIS OF OPINION

As a basis for forming an opinion on the Financial Information, for the purpose of this report, we have audited the Financial Information for the Relevant Periods in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA") and we have carried out such additional procedures as we considered necessary in accordance with Auditing Guideline "Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant" (Statement 3.340) issued by the HKICPA. We have not audited any financial statements of Summer Sound nor any consolidated financial statements of Summer Sound Group in respect of any period subsequent to 31 May 2007.

An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the Financial Information. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the directors of Summer Sound in the preparation of the Financial Information, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the circumstances of Summer Sound Group, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.

We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance as to whether the Financial Information is free from material misstatement. In forming our opinion, we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of the Financial Information. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

— 75 —


APPENDIX IV

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON THE SUMMER SOUND GROUP

OPINION

In our opinion, for the purpose of this report, all adjustments considered necessary have been made and the Financial Information gives a true and fair view of the financial positions of Summer Sound and Summer Sound Group as at 31 December 2006 and 31 May 2007 and of Summer Sound Group’s financial results and cash flows for the Relevant Periods.

COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

For the purpose of this report, we have also reviewed the unaudited consolidated financial information of Summer Sound Group including consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated cash flow statement for the period from 30 January 2006 (date of incorporation) to 31 May 2006, for which the directors of Summer Sound are responsible, in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards 700 “Engagements to review interim financial reports” issued by the HKICPA. A review consists principally of making enquires of group management and applying analytical procedures to the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit procedures such as tests of controls and verification of assets, liabilities and transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion on the unaudited comparative consolidated financial information for the period from 30 January 2006 (date of incorporation) to 31 May 2006.

On the basis of our review of the comparative consolidated financial information for the period from 30 January 2006 (date of incorporation) to 31 May 2006 which does not constitute an audit, for the purpose of this report, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the unaudited consolidated financial information presented for the period from 30 January 2006 (date of incorporation) to 31 May 2006.

The HKICPA issued a number of new or revised Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) and Interpretations (“INTs”) (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “new HKFRSs”) which are currently in use and effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007. For the purpose of preparing and presenting Financial Information of the Relevant Periods, Summer Sound Group has adopted all these new HKFRSs over the Relevant Periods.

Summer Sound Group has not early applied the following new and revised standards and interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective. The directors of Summer Sound anticipate that the applications of these new standards and interpretations will have no material impact on the Financial Information of Summer Sound Group.

HKAS 23 (Revised) Borrowing Costs^{1}
HKFRS 8 Operating Segments^{1}
HK(IFRIC) – INT 11 HKFRS 2 – Group and Treasury Share Transactions^{2}
HK(IFRIC) – INT 12 Service Concession Arrangements^{3}
  1. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009
  2. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 March 2007
  3. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of this Financial Information are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the Relevant Periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Basis of preparation

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”), which is a collective term that includes all applicable individual HKFRSs, HKASs and INTs issued by the HKICPA, accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. In addition, the Financial Information includes applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”) and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

The Financial Information has been prepared under historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments which are carried at fair values. The preparation of the Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgements in the process of applying Summer Sound Group’s accounting policies.


APPENDIX IV

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON THE SUMMER SOUND GROUP

The Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong Dollars ("HK$") which is the functional currency of Summer Sound.

(b) Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the Financial Information of Summer Sound and its subsidiaries made up to 31 December 2006 and 31 May 2007.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the Relevant Periods are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

All intra-group transactions, balance, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Minority interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are presented separately from the Summer Sound Group's equity therein. Minority interests in the net assets consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the minority's share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Losses applicable to the minority in excess of the minority's interest in the subsidiary's equity are allocated against the interests of Summer Sound Group's except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation and is able to make an additional investment to cover the losses.

(c) Excess of Summer Sound Group's interest in the net fair value of an acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost ("discount on acquisitions")

A discount on acquisition arising on an acquisition of a subsidiary represents the excess of the net fair value of an acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the business combination. Discount on acquisition is recognised immediately in income statement.

(d) Revenue recognition

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount.

(e) Impairment of assets

Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment of assets, or whether there is any indication that an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is charged to the income statement in the year in which it arises, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, when the impairment loss is accounted for in accordance with the relevant policy for that revalued asset.

— 83 —


APPENDIX IV

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON THE SUMMER SOUND GROUP

Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its net selling price and value in use. The net selling price is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm's length transaction while value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of any asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of asset that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash generating unit).

(f) Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit is the profit for the year, determined in accordance with the rules established by the taxation authorities, upon which income taxes are payable.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary difference can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill (or negative goodwill) or from the initial recognition (other than a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where Summer Sound is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

(g) Property under development

When the leasehold land and buildings are in the course of development for production, rental, for administrative purpose or for sale, the leasehold land component is classified as a prepaid lease payment and amortised over a straight-line basis over the lease term. During the construction period, the amortisation charge provided for the leasehold land is included as part of costs of buildings under construction. Buildings under construction are carried at cost, less any identified impairment losses. Depreciation of building commences when they are available for use.

APPENDIX IV

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON THE SUMMER SOUND GROUP

(h) Interests in subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an enterprise controlled by Summer Sound. Control exists when Summer Sound has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In Summer Sound's balance sheet, interests in subsidiaries are stated at cost less provision for impairment losses. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by Summer Sound on the basis of dividends received and receivable.

(i) Other receivables

Other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that Summer Sound Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the income statement.

(j) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

(k) Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial asset or financial liability, including fees and commissions paid to agents, advisers, brokers and dealers, levies by regulatory agencies and securities exchanges, and transfer taxes and duties. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

(l) Translation of foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges or qualifying net investment hedges.

(m) Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of Summer Sound Group. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably. A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the Financial Information. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable, they will then be recognised as a provision.

— 85 —


APPENDIX IV

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON THE SUMMER SOUND GROUP

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of Summer Sound Group. A contingent asset is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the Financial Information when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. When inflow is virtually certain, an asset is recognised.

(n) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when Summer Sound Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that Summer Sound Group will be required to settle that obligations. Provisions are measured at the directors' best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.

(o) Related parties transactions

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influences. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

3. Financial risk management

3.1 Financial risk factors

Summer Sound Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (foreign exchange risk) and cash flow interest-rate risk. Summer Sound Group's risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Summer Sound Group's financial performance.

(a) Market risk — Currencies risk

The main operation of Summer Sound Group is in Macau with most of the transactions settled in MOP. Except for certain cash and bank balances, Summer Sound Group's receivables and payables were mainly denominated in MOP. Management believes that Summer Sound Group does not have significant foreign currency exchange risk as the exchange rate between MOP and HK$ did not fluctuate significantly. However, the conversion of MOP into foreign currencies is subject to the rules and regulations of foreign exchange control promulgated by the Macau government.

(b) Cash flow and fair value interest rate-risk

Summer Sound Group's cash flow interest-rate risk arises from bank borrowings. Summer Sound Group's fair value interest-rate risk mainly arises from fixed-rate short-term bank deposits. Summer Sound Group currently does not have an interest-rate hedging policy. However, the management monitors interest-rate exposure and will consider hedging significant interest-rate exposure should need arises.

APPENDIX IV

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON THE SUMMER SOUND GROUP

3.2 Fair value estimation

The carrying amounts of Summer Sound Group's financial assets, including other receivables, amounts due from shareholders and cash and cash equivalents approximate to their fair values due to their short maturities. The face values less any credit adjustments for financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate to their fair values.

The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate available to the Summer Sound Group for similar financial instruments.

4. Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Summer Sound Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

(a) Impairment of property under development

As described in note 5 to the Financial Information, the fair value of the property under development was reassessed at the balance sheet date on market value basis by reference to independent professional valuers for impairment assessment purpose. Such valuation was based on certain assumptions, which are subject to uncertainty and might materially differ from the actual results. In making the judgement, Summer Sound Group considers information from current prices in an active market for similar properties and uses assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions at each balance sheet date.

(b) Capital risk management

Summer Sound Group's objectives of managing capital are to safeguard Summer Sound Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide adequate returns for shareholders in the long term and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, Summer Sound Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

Summer Sound Group periodically reviews the cash flow projection and the debt to capital ratio of Summer Sound Group. Taking into consideration of the projected operating cash flow, Summer Sound Group applied net cash inflows to repay the bank loans. The bank loans were remained at HK$75,000,000 for the Relevant Periods. To improve the debt to capital ratio, Summer Sound Group does not consider any dividend payment until Summer Sound Group has surplus in the cash flows.

Dear Sirs,

We set out below our report on the financial information (the "Financial Information") regarding Legstrong Construction and Investment Company Limited ("Legstrong") for each of the three years ended 31 December 2004, 2005 and 2006 and for the five months ended 31 May 2007 (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Relevant Periods") for inclusion in the circular of Riche Multi-Media Holdings Limited (the "Company") dated 5 November 2007 (the "Circular") in connection with the proposed acquisition of a 100% equity interest in Modern Vision (Asia) Limited ("Modern Vision") by Legend Rich Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

APPENDIX V

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON MACAU CO

Legstrong was incorporated in Macau with limited liability on 20 June 1989. The registered office of Legstrong is located at Rua de Pequim, nos 173-177, Edifício Marina Plaza, P, Q, R/C, Macau. During the Relevant Periods, the principal activity of Legstrong was property investment and development in Macau.

No audited financial statements of Legstrong have been prepared for each of the three years ended 31 December 2004, 2005 and 2006 and for the five months ended 31 May 2007 because there is no statutory audit requirement to do so.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The Financial Information has been prepared by the directors of Legstrong based on the unaudited management accounts of Legstrong, after making adjustments as are appropriate (the "Underlying Financial Information"). Adjustments have been made, for the purpose of this report, to restate the Underlying Financial Information to conform with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and the disclosure requirements of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange").

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS

The directors of Legstrong are responsible for the preparation of the Financial Information which gives a true and fair view. In preparing the Financial Information which gives a true and fair view, it is fundamental that appropriate accounting policies are selected and applied consistently, that judgements and estimates are made which are prudent and reasonable and that reasons for any significant departure from applicable accounting standards are stated.

It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our audit, on the Financial Information.

BASIS OF OPINION

As a basis for forming an opinion on the Financial Information, for the purpose of this report, we have audited the Financial Information for the Relevant Periods in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA") and we have carried out such additional procedures as we considered necessary in accordance with Auditing Guideline "Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant" (Statement 3.340) issued by the HKICPA. We have not audited any financial statements of Legstrong in respect of any period subsequent to 31 May 2007.

An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the Financial Information. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the directors of Legstrong in the preparation of the Financial

— 98 —


APPENDIX V

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON MACAU CO

Information, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the circumstances of Legstrong, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.

We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance as to whether the Financial Information is free from material misstatement. In forming our opinion, we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of the Financial Information. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

OPINION

In our opinion, for the purpose of this report, all adjustments considered necessary have been made and the Financial Information gives a true and fair view of Legstrong’s financial positions as at 31 December 2004, 2005 and 2006 and 31 May 2007 and of Legstrong’s financial results and cash flows for the Relevant Periods.

MATERIAL UNCERTAINTY CONCERNING GOING CONCERN BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to note 2(a) to the Financial Information which indicates that Legstrong recorded net current liabilities of HK$97,336,000, HK$101,443,000, HK$250,107,000 and HK$251,848,000 as at 31 December 2004, 2005 and 2006 and 31 May 2007 respectively. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in note 2(a) to the Financial Information, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about Legstrong’s ability to continue as a going concern.

COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

For the purpose of this report, we have also reviewed the unaudited financial information of Legstrong including income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the five months ended 31 May 2006, for which the directors of Legstrong are responsible, in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards 700 “Engagements to review interim financial reports” issued by the HKICPA. A review consists principally of making enquires of group management and applying analytical procedures to the accounting policies and presentation have been consistently applied unless otherwise disclosed. A review excludes audit procedures such as tests of controls and verification of assets, liabilities and transactions. It is substantially less in scope than an audit and therefore provides a lower level of assurance than an audit. Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion on the unaudited comparative financial information for the five months ended 31 May 2006.

On the basis of our review of the comparative financial information for the five months ended 31 May 2006 which does not constitute an audit, for the purpose of this report, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the unaudited financial information presented for the five months ended 31 May 2006.

APPENDIX V

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON MACAU CO

II. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. General information

Legstrong was incorporated in Macau with limited liability on 20 June 1989. The registered office of Legstrong is located at Rua de Pequim, nos 173-177, Edifício Marina Plaza, P, Q, R/C, Macau.

During the Relevant Periods, the principal activity of Legstrong was property investment and development in Macau.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

The HKICPA issued a number of new or revised Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) and Interpretations (“INTs”) (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “new HKFRSs”) which are currently in use and effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2007. For the purpose of preparing and presenting Financial Information of the Relevant Periods, Legstrong has adopted all these new HKFRSs over the Relevant Periods.

Legstrong has not early applied the following new and revised standards and interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective. The directors of Legstrong anticipate that the applications of these new standards and interpretations will have no material impact on the Financial Information of Legstrong.

HKAS 23 (Revised) Borrowing Costs¹
HKFRS 8 Operating Segments¹
HK(IFRIC) – INT 11 HKFRS 2 – Group and Treasury Share Transactions²
HK(IFRIC) – INT 12 Service Concession Arrangements³

¹ Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009
² Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 March 2007
³ Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of this Financial Information are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the Relevant Periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Basis of preparation

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”), which is a collective term that includes all applicable individual HKFRSs, HKASs and INTs issued by the HKICPA, accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. In addition, the Financial Information includes applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”) and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

The Financial Information has been prepared under historical cost convention except for certain financial instruments which are carried at fair values. The preparation of the Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgements in the process of applying Legstrong’s accounting policies.

— 104 —


APPENDIX V

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON MACAU CO

The Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”) that is different from the functional currency of Legstrong which is MOP as the directors of Legstrong control and monitor the performance and financial position of Legstrong in HK$.

As at 31 December 2004, 2005 and 2006 and 31 May 2007, Legstrong had incurred net current liabilities of HK$97,336,000, HK$101,443,000, HK$250,107,000 and HK$251,848,000 respectively. The Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis because the shareholders of Legstrong have confirmed to provide continuing financial support to Legstrong to enable it to continue as a going concern and to settle its liabilities as and when they fall due from the foreseeable future.

(b) Revenue recognition

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount.

(c) Impairment of assets

Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment of assets, or whether there is any indication that an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is charged to the income statement in the year in which it arises, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, when the impairment loss is accounted for in accordance with the relevant policy for that revalued asset.

Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its net selling price and value in use. The net selling price is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction while value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of any asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of asset that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash generating unit).

(d) Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit is the profit for the year, determined in accordance with the rules established by the taxation authorities, upon which income taxes are payable.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary difference can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill (or negative goodwill) or from the initial recognition (other than a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

— 105 —


APPENDIX V

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON MACAU CO

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

(e) Property under development

When the leasehold land and buildings are in the course of development for production, rental, for administrative purpose or for sale, the leasehold land component is classified as a prepaid lease payment and amortised over a straight-line basis over the lease term. During the construction period, the amortisation charge provided for the leasehold land is included as part of costs of buildings under construction. Buildings under construction are carried at cost, less any identified impairment losses. Depreciation of building commences when they are available for use.

(f) Other receivables

Other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that Legstrong will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the income statement.

(g) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

(h) Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial asset or financial liability, including fees and commissions paid to agents, advisers, brokers and dealers, levies by regulatory agencies and securities exchanges, and transfer taxes and duties. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

(i) Translation of foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges or qualifying net investment hedges.

(j) Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of Legstrong. It can also be a present obligation arising

— 106 —


APPENDIX V

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON MACAU CO

from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably. A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the Financial Information. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable, they will then be recognised as a provision.

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of Legstrong. A contingent asset is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the Financial Information when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. When inflow is virtually certain, an asset is recognised.

(k) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when Legstrong has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that Legstrong will be required to settle that obligations. Provisions are measured at the directors' best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.

(l) Related parties transactions

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influences. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

  1. Financial risk management

3.1 Financial risk factors

Legstrong's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (foreign exchange risk), liquidity risk and cash flow interest-rate risk. Legstrong's risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Legstrong's financial performance.

(a) Market risk — Currencies risk

The main operation of Legstrong is in Macau with most of the transactions settled in MOP. Except for certain cash and bank balances, Legstrong's receivables and payables were mainly denominated in MOP. Management believes that Legstrong does not have significant foreign currency exchange risk as the exchange rate between MOP and HK$ did not fluctuate significantly. However, the conversion of MOP into foreign currencies is subject to the rules and regulations of foreign exchange control promulgated by the Macau government.

(b) Liquidity risk

Legstrong manages its liquidity risk by ensuring it has sufficient liquid cash balances to meet its payment obligations as they fall due.

— 107 —


APPENDIX V

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON MACAU CO

(c) Cash flow and fair value interest rate-risk

Legstrong’s cash flow interest-rate risk arises from bank borrowings. Legstrong’s fair value interest-rate risk mainly arises from fixed-rate short-term bank deposits. Legstrong currently does not have an interest-rate hedging policy. However, the management monitors interest-rate exposure and will consider hedging significant interest-rate exposure should need arises.

3.2 Fair value estimation

The carrying amounts of Legstrong’s financial assets, including other receivables, amounts due from shareholders and cash and cash equivalents approximate to their fair values due to their short maturities. The face values less any credit adjustments for financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate to their fair values.

The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate available to the Legstrong for similar financial instruments.

  1. Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Legstrong makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

(a) Impairment of property under development

As described in note 5 to the Financial Information, the fair value of the property under development was reassessed at the balance sheet date on market value basis by reference to independent professional valuers for impairment assessment purpose. Such valuation was based on certain assumptions, which are subject to uncertainty and might materially differ from the actual results. In making the judgement, Legstrong considers information from current prices in an active market for similar properties and uses assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions at each balance sheet date.

(b) Capital risk management

Legstrong’s objectives of managing capital are to safeguard Legstrong’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide adequate returns for shareholders in the long term and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, Legstrong may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

— 108 —


APPENDIX V

ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT ON MACAU CO

Legstrong periodically reviews the cash flow projection and the debt to capital ratio of Legstrong. Taking into consideration of the projected operating cash flow, Legstrong applied net cash inflows to repay the bank loans to improve net current liabilities financial position. The bank loans were HK$50,000,000 for the year ended 31 December 2004 and were remained at HK$75,000,000 for the period from 1 January 2005 to 31 May 2007. The net profits were approximately HK$2,000, HK$891,000, HK$134,000 and HK$442,000 for the years ended 31 December 2004, 2006 and for the five months ended 31 May 2006 and 2007 respectively, the net current liabilities were approximately HK$97,336,000, HK$101,443,000, HK$250,107,000 and HK$251,848,000 as at 31 December 2004, 2005, 2006 and 31 May 2007 respectively. To improve the debt to capital ratio, Legstrong does not consider any dividend payment until Legstrong has surplus in the reserves.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

All intra-group transactions, balance, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Minority interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are presented separately from the Group’s equity therein. Minority interests in the net assets consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the minority’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Losses applicable to the minority in excess of the minority’s interest in the subsidiary’s equity are allocated against the interests of the Group except to the extent that the minority has a binding obligation and is able to make an additional investment to cover the losses.

(c) Revenue recognition

Revenue from distribution of films is recognised when video products or master materials of films are delivered to customers and the title has passed.

Revenue from sub-licensing of film rights is recognised upon delivery of master materials of films to customers.

Proceeds from sales of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised when sale and purchase contracts became unconditional.

Rental income, including rentals invoiced in advance, from properties under operating lease is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the respective leases.

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholders’ right to receive payment has been established.

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the interest rate applicable.

(d) Impairment of assets

Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment of assets, or whether there is any indication that an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is charged to the income statement in the year in which it arises, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, when the impairment loss is accounted for in accordance with the relevant policy for that revalued asset.

i. Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its net selling price and value in use. The net selling price is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction while value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of any asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of asset that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cash-generating unit).

ii. Reversals of impairment losses

In respect of assets other than goodwill, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss of goodwill is reversed only if the loss was caused by a specific external event of an exceptional nature that is not expected to recur, and the increase in recoverable amount relates the reversal effect of that specific event.

A reversal of impairment losses is limited to the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to the income statement in the year in which the reversals are recognised.

(e) Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit is the profit for the year, determined in accordance with the rules established by the taxation authorities, upon which income taxes are payable.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary difference can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill (or negative goodwill) or from the initial recognition (other than a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investment in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and is reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.

(f) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditure incurred after the property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, is normally charged to the income statement in the period in which it is incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the property, plant and equipment, the expenditure is capitalised as an additional cost of that asset.

— 128 —


APPENDIX VI

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment, using the straight-line method, over their estimated useful lives. The principal annual rates are as follows:

Buildings 2%
Leasehold improvements 33.3%
Office equipment 20%
Motor vehicles 20%
Furniture and fixtures 15%

The gain or loss arising from disposal of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the net sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset and is recognised in the income statement in the year the asset is derecognised.

(g) Investment properties

On initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost, including any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured using the fair value model. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in the income statements the year in which they arise.

An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use or no future economic benefits are expected from its disposals. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the investment properties (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement in the year in which the asset is derecognised.

(h) Investments in subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an enterprise controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In the Company's balance sheet, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less provision for impairment losses. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividends received and receivable.

(i) Goodwill

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a subsidiary or an associate represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group's interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the relevant subsidiary or associate at the date of acquisition. Such goodwill is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Capitalised goodwill arising on an acquisition of a subsidiary is presented separately in the balance sheet. Capitalised goodwill arising on an acquisition of an associate is included in the cost of the investment of the relevant associate.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill arising from an acquisition is allocated to each of the relevant cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition. A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. For goodwill arising on an acquisition in a financial year, the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment before the end of that financial year. When the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated to reduce

— 129 —


APPENDIX VI

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit first, and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in the income statement. An impairment loss for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

On subsequent disposal of a subsidiary or an associate, the attributable amount of goodwill capitalised is included in the determination of the amount of profit or loss on disposal.

(j) Inventories

Inventories on finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method.

Inventories on stock of properties, which are held for trading, is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is determined by reference to sale proceeds received after the balance sheet date less selling expenses, or by management estimates based on the prevailing market conditions.

(k) Financial instruments

The Group classifies its investment in securities in the following categories depends on the purpose of such investment were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and re-evaluate this designation at every reporting date.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if so designated by management. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realised within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

(ii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date. These are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables included loan receivables, convertible notes receivables and trade receivables.

(iii) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade-date — the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Investments are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risk and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets and


APPENDIX VI

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using effective interest method. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss category are included in the income statement in the year in which they arise. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are recognised in equity. When securities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments are included in the income statement as gains or losses from investment securities.

The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm's length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models refined to reflect the issuer's specific circumstances.

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale financial assets, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered in determining whether the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss — measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in the income statement — is removed from equity and recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in the income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the income statement.

(l) Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade and other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised in the income statement.

(m) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

(n) Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial asset or financial liability, including fees and commissions paid to agents, advisers, brokers and dealers, levies by regulatory agencies and securities exchanges, and transfer taxes and duties. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

— 131 —


APPENDIX VI

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

(o) Leases

Leases are classified as finance leases when the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets concerned to the Group. Assets held under finance leases are capitalised at the lower of fair values or the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor, net of interest charges, is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Finance costs are charged to the income statement over the term of the relevant lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining balance of the obligations for each accounting period.

All other leases are classified as operating leases and the annual rentals are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the relevant lease term.

(p) Translation of foreign currencies

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the accounts of Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars ("HK$").

(ii) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges or qualifying net investment hedges.

Translation differences on non-monetary items, such as equity instruments held at fair value through profit or loss, are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. Transaction difference on non-monetary items, such as equities classified as available-for-sale financial assets, are included in the fair value reserve in equity.

(q) Employee benefits

(i) Bonuses

The Group recognises a liability for bonuses when there is a contractual obligation and the amount can be estimated reliably.

(ii) Retirement benefit obligations

The Group operates the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme (the "MPF Scheme") under the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance for those employees employed under the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong Employment Ordinance. The MPF Scheme is a defined contribution scheme, the assets of which are held in separate trustee-administered funds.

Under the MPF Scheme, the employer and its employees are each required to make contributions to the scheme at 5% to 10% of the employees' relevant income, with the employees' contributions subject to a cap of monthly relevant income of HK$20,000. The Group's contributions to the scheme are expensed as incurred. 5% of relevant


APPENDIX VI

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

income vests immediately upon the completion of service in the relevant service period, while the remaining portion vests in accordance with the scheme's vesting scales. Where employees leave the scheme prior to the full vesting of the employer's contributions, the amount of forfeited contributions is used to reduce the contributions payable by the Group.

(iii) Share-based compensation

The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the share options and restricted share awards is recognised as an expense in the income statement.

The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined with reference to the fair value of the share options and restricted share awards granted. At each balance sheet date, the Company revises its estimates of the number of share options that are expected to become exercisable and the number of restricted share awards that become vested. It recognises the impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, in the income statement, and a corresponding adjustment to equity in the balance sheet will be made over the remaining vesting periods.

The proceeds received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to share capital and share premium accounts when the share options are exercised and when the restricted share awards are vested.

(r) Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably. A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable, they will then be recognised as a provision.

A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group. A contingent asset is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. When inflow is virtually certain, an asset is recognised.

(s) Related parties transactions

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influences. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

(t) Financial guarantees issued and provisions

Financial guarantees are contracts that require the issuer (i.e. the guarantor) to make specified payments to reimburse the beneficiary of the guarantee (the "holder") for a loss the holder incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument.

— 133 —


APPENDIX VI

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

Where the Group issues a financial guarantee, the fair value of the guarantee (being the transaction price, unless the fair value can otherwise be reliably estimated) is initially recognised as deferred income within creditors and accruals. Where consideration is received or receivable for the issuance of the guarantee, the consideration is recognised in accordance with the Group's policies applicable to that category of asset. Where no such consideration is received or receivable, an immediate expense is recognised in the income statement on initial recognition of any deferred income.

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that obligations. Provisions are measured at the directors' best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.

4. Financial Risk Management

4.1 Financial risk factors

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest-rate risk. The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.

(a) Market risk — Price risk

The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk because investments held by the Group are classified on the consolidated balance sheet either as available-for-sale financial assets or as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The Group is not exposed to commodity price risk.

(b) Credit risk

The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. It has policies in place to ensure that distribution of films and sub-licensing of film rights to customers with an appropriate credit history.

(c) Liquidity risk

The Group manages its liquidity risk by ensuring it has sufficient liquid cash balances to meet its payment obligations as they fall due.

(d) Cash flow and fair value interest-rate risk

The Group's cash flow interest-rate risk arises from bank borrowings. The Group's fair value interest-rate risk mainly arises from fixed-rate short-term bank deposits. The Group currently does not have an interest-rate hedging policy. However, the management monitors interest-rate exposure and will consider hedging significant interest-rate exposure should need arises.

4.2 Fair value estimation

The carrying amounts of the Group's financial assets, including cash and bank balances, trade receivables, deposits, prepayments and other receivables, and financial liabilities, including trade payables, other payables, accruals and amounts due to related companies, approximate

— 134 —


APPENDIX VI

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

to their fair values due to their short maturities. The face values less any credit adjustments for financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate to their fair values.

The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

In assessing the fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss) is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market prices used for financial assets held by the Group are the current bid price.

The fair value of financial instrument that are not traded in an active market (for example, available-for-sale financial assets) is determined by using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods, such as estimated discounted value of future cash flows, and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet date.

5. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

(a) Estimated impairment of goodwill

The Group performs annual tests on whether there has been impairment of goodwill in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 3(i) to the financial statements. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions made by management on the future operation of the business, pre-tax discount rates, and other assumptions underlying the value-in-use calculations. Information about the assumptions and the risk factors on impairment of goodwill are stated in note 10 to the financial statements.

(b) Trade debtors

The aged debt profile of trade debtors is reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that the trade debtor balances are collectible and follow up actions are promptly carried out if the agreed credit periods have been exceeded. However, from time to time, the Group may experience delays in collection. Where recoverability of trade debtor balances are called into doubts, specific provisions for bad and doubtful debts are made based on credit status of the customers, the aged analysis of the trade receivable balances and write-off history. Certain receivables may be initially identified as collectible, yet subsequently become uncollectible and result in a subsequent write-off of the related receivable to the income statement. Changes in the collectibility of trade receivables for which provisions are not made could affect our results of operations.

— 135 —


APPENDIX VI

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

(c) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

In accordance with HKAS 16, the Group estimates the useful lives of fixed assets in order to determine the amount of depreciation expenses to be recorded. The useful lives are estimated at the time the asset is acquired based on historical experience, the expected usage, wear and tear of the assets, as well as technical obsolescence arising from changes in the market demands or service output of the assets. The Group also performs annual reviews on whether the assumptions made on useful lives continue to be valid.

(d) Estimate of fair values of investment properties

As described in note 8 to the financial statements, the investment properties were revalued at the balance sheet date on market value basis by reference to independent professional valuers. Such valuation was based on certain assumptions, which are subject to uncertainty and might materially differ from the actual results. In making the judgement, the Group considers information from current prices in an active market for similar properties and uses assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions at each balance sheet date.

Notes:

(i) On 19 April 2005, the Group exercised the right under the convertible notes issued by Gainful Fortune Limited (“Gainful Fortune”) to convert the outstanding principal of HK$160,000,000 into shares of Gainful Fortune at a conversion price of HK$1 per share. Since then, Gainful Fortune and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ocean Shores Licensing Limited, (hereinafter collectively refer to as the “Gainful Fortune Group”) became subsidiaries of the Company. As a result, a positive goodwill of approximately HK$7,656,000 arose from the acquisition of Gainful Fortune.

(ii) On 21 June 2006, the Group acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Shinhan-Golden Faith International Development Limited (“Shinhan-Golden”) and the debts owed by Shinhan-Golden to Northbay Investments Holdings Limited (“Northbay”). The total consideration of this acquisition at fair value was approximately HK$246,109,000. As a result, a positive goodwill of approximately HK$77,284,000 arose from the acquisition of Shinhan-Golden.

(iii) Due to the continuous losses incurred by the Gainful Fortune Group and World East Investments Limited, the directors reassessed the recoverable amounts of goodwill and made impairment losses on goodwill of approximately HK$7,656,000 and HK$4,400,000 respectively in the year ended 31 December 2005.

APPENDIX VI

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

Impairment of goodwill

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of Shinhan-Golden has been allocated to the leasing of rental property, which is property investment segment and is the cash-generating units (“CGU”) identified.

During the year, the directors reassessed the recoverable amount of the CGU with reference to the valuation performed by Grant Sherman Appraisal Limited, an independent firm of professional valuers, and determined that no impairment loss on goodwill associated with the CGU was identified.

The recoverable amount of the CGU was assessed by reference to value-in-use calculation. A discount rate of 16.14% per annum was applied in the value-in-use model which uses cash flow projection based on financial forecasts approved by the directors (the “Approved Forecast”) covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period have been extrapolated using a steady 7% growth rate. The growth rate is made by reference to National Bureau of Statistics of China and does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the market in which the CGU operates. There are a number of assumptions and estimates involved for the preparation of the cash flow projection for the period covered by the Approved Forecast. Key assumptions include gross margin, growth and discount rate which are determined by management of the Group based on past experience and its expectation for market development. Gross margin are budgeted gross margin. Growth rate represents the rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the five-year budgeted period and is consistent with the Approved Forecast. The discount rate used is pre-tax and reflects specific risks relating to the market.

At 31 December 2006, save as disclosed below, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries was engaged in any litigation or arbitration of material importance and no litigation or claim of material importance known to the directors to be pending or threatened against any member of the Group.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

for the six months ended 30 June 2007

1. Basis of Preparation

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the “Interim Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard (the “HKAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) and the applicable disclosure requirements set out in Appendix 16 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for investment properties and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured at fair values, as appropriate.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies used in the Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) for the year ended 31 December 2006.

In the current period, the Group has applied, for the first time, a number of new standards, amendments and interpretations (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “new HKFRSs”) issued by the HKICPA, which are effective for the Group’s accounting period beginning on 1 January 2007. The adoption of the new HKFRSs had no material effect on the results and the financial position of the Group for the current or prior accounting periods.

Standards or interpretations issued but not yet effective

The Group has not applied the new standards or interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective.

HKAS 23 (Revised) Borrowing Costs¹
HKFRS 8 Operating Segments¹
HK (IFRIC) — Int 11 HKFRS 2 — Group and Treasury Share Transactions²
HK (IFRIC) — Int 12 Service Concession Arrangements³

¹ Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009
² Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 March 2007
³ Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2008

The Group is still considering the potential impact of these new HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to determine whether these new HKFRSs would have a significant impact on how its results of operations and financial position are presented. These new HKFRSs may result in changes in the future as to how the results and financial position are presented.

  1. Upon the completion of the Acquisition, Legstrong was accounted as a subsidiary of the Company, the property under development was transferred to the Group. Upon Acquisition, the Group will adjust the property under development to its fair value by reference to a valuation performed by an independent valuer, DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited. The fair value adjustment amounted to approximately HK$868,262,000.

  2. Under HKFRS 3 Business Combinations (“HKFRS 3”), the Group will apply the purchase method to account for the acquisition of Modern Vision, Over Profit and Summer Sound Group. Modern Vision, Over Profit and Summer Sound Group will be treated as subsidiaries of the Company due to the board control. In applying the purchase method, the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Modern Vision, Over Profit and Summer Sound Group will be recorded on the consolidated balance sheet of the Group at their fair values at the date of completion. Any goodwill or discount arising on the acquisition will be determined as the excess or deficit of the purchase price to be incurred by the Group over the Group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of Modern Vision, Over Profit and Summer Sound Group at the date of completion. Negative goodwill resulting from the business combinations should be recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement.

The adjustment reflects the following:

(i) Goodwill of approximately HK$119,970,000 arising from the Acquisition of Modern Vision, Over Profit and Summer Sound Group, which is derived from the calculation as follow:

HK$'000
Fair value of net assets of Modern Vision 1
Fair value of net assets of Over Profit 1
Fair value of net assets of the Summer Sound Group 259,793
Fair value adjustment on property under development 868,262
1,128,057
Less: Minority interests (564,027)
564,030
Goodwill 119,970
Total consideration 684,000
Cash consideration 684,000

Fair value adjustment of property under development of approximately HK$868,262,000 represented fair value changes of the property under development shared by the equity holders of the Enlarged Group upon the Acquisition.

All identifiable assets, liabilities and considerations are assumed to be at their fair values.

Our valuation of the Property represents its market value which in accordance with the Valuation Standards on Properties of the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors is defined as "the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion."

No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the Property nor any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the Property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of any onerous nature which could affect its value.
