To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
VERY SUBSTANTIAL DISPOSAL — DISPOSAL OF PROPERTY AND NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
On 20 November 2012 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange), the Vendor and the Purchaser entered into the Preliminary SPA pursuant to which the Vendor has conditionally agreed to sell and the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to acquire the Property at a cash consideration of HK$586.00 million. As one of the applicable percentage ratios calculated in accordance with Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules is more than 75%, the Disposal constitutes a very substantial disposal of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. The Disposal is therefore subject to the Shareholders' approval at the SGM.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The purposes of this circular is to provide you with further information on the Preliminary SPA and the transactions contemplated thereunder, together with a notice of the SGM.
THE DISPOSAL
The Preliminary SPA
Date: 20 November 2012
Vendor: Rexdale Investment Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the legal and beneficial owner of the Property
Purchaser: Grand Reward Limited, an investment company
Property agent: Centaline Property Agency Limited
To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiry, the Purchaser is an investment company and the ultimate beneficial owner(s) of the Purchaser are Independent Third Parties and not connected with any directors, chief executive or substantial shareholders of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any of their respective associates.
The sale and purchase of the Property is arranged by Centaline Property Agency Limited, an Independent Third Party.
The Formal SPA
Pursuant to the Preliminary SPA, the Formal SPA should be signed on or before 13 December 2012. The Company is advised by its legal advisor that the Vendor's solicitors are still in negotiation with the Purchaser's solicitors on the terms of the Formal SPA and as at the Latest Practicable Date, the terms of the Formal SPA have not been finalised and the Preliminary SPA is still binding on the Vendor and the Purchaser. The Vendor and the Purchaser will sign the Formal SPA as soon as the terms are finalised. According to the legal advisor of the Company, the Vendor and the Purchaser are obligated to fulfill terms and conditions under the Preliminary SPA notwithstanding that the Formal SPA has not been entered on Completion.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Assets to be disposed
Pursuant to the Preliminary SPA or the Formal SPA (as the case may be), the Vendor has conditionally agreed to sell and the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to acquire the Property. The Property is to be sold to the Purchaser on an “as is” basis. The Property was acquired by the Group through the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Adelio Holdings Limited, the holding company of the Vendor, on 23 December 2011.
The Consideration and payment terms for the Disposal
The Consideration of the Disposal of HK$586.00 million has been and shall be settled in cash by the Purchaser to the Vendor in the following manner:
(a) HK$29.30 million (the “Initial Deposit”) in cash as initial deposit has been paid upon signing of the Preliminary SPA;
(b) HK$29.30 million (the “Further Deposit”) in cash as further deposit has been paid on 13 December 2012; and
(c) the balance of the Consideration of HK$527.40 million shall be paid upon Completion on or before the Long Stop Date.
The Consideration of HK$586.00 million was agreed and determined between the Purchaser and the Vendor on a “willing buyer – willing seller” basis having regards to the offer prices of comparable properties in nearby locations. In reaching the Consideration of HK$586.00 million, no property valuation report was obtained in confirming the valuation of the Property. Although no property valuation report was obtained, the Directors consider that the Consideration of HK$586.00 million is fair and reasonable as the Consideration per square feet exceeds the average price per square feet for industrial property sales transaction in Kwun Tong of HK$3,718 for October 2012 as disclosed on the website of Centaline Commercial by 13%.
Condition precedent
Completion shall be conditional upon the approval by the Shareholders at the SGM of the Preliminary SPA or the Formal SPA (as the case may be) and the transactions contemplated thereunder in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules.
— 6 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Termination
If the above condition precedent has not been fulfilled on or before the Long Stop Date by the Company under the Preliminary SPA or the Formal SPA (as the case may be), which constitutes a breach of the terms of the Preliminary SPA or the Formal SPA (as the case may be) on the part of the Vendor, the parties shall be entitled to terminate the Preliminary SPA or the Formal SPA (as the case may be). In such circumstances, the Vendor shall forthwith return the Initial Deposit and/or the Further Deposit paid by the Purchaser and shall pay a sum equivalent to 10% of the Consideration to the Purchaser as damages and the Purchaser shall have no further claims against the Vendor.
Completion
Subject to the fulfillment of the condition precedent, Completion shall take place on or before the Long Stop Date.
INFORMATION OF THE PROPERTY
The Property is situated in a building, namely Lucky (Kwun Tong) Industrial Building (樂基官塘大廈), located at Nos. 398-402 Kwun Tong Road (formerly known as No.95 How Ming Street), Kowloon, Hong Kong (the "Building"), particularly the sole and exclusive right and privilege to hold use occupy and enjoy Factory A on the First Floor (including its Flat Roof) of the Building, Factory B on the First Floor (including its Flat Roof) of the Building, Sixth Floor of the Building, Factory A on the Seventh Floor of the Building, Factory B on the Seventh Floor of the Building, Factory A on the Eighth Floor of the Building, Factory B on the Eighth Floor of the Building, Factory A on the Ninth Floor of the Building, Factory B on the Ninth Floor of the Building, Tenth Floor of the Building, Eleventh Floor of the Building, Twelfth Floor of the Building, Roof of the Building, External Walls of the Building, Lavatory A and Lavatory B on the Ground Floor of the Building and Car Parking Spaces Nos.1, 2, 3, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 on the Ground Floor of the Building. The Property takes up 367 equal undivided 622nd parts or shares of the Land on which the Property is situated.
The Building is an industrial building comprises 13-storey, which was built in 1981.
The Property is currently subject to tenancies. Based on the existing arrangements of the tenancy of the Property, the current monthly rental income of the Property is approximately HK$490,000 (exclusive of government rates, management fee and all other outgoings and utility charges).
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Detailed description and valuation of the Property has been disclosed in the Appendix IV to this circular.
REASONS FOR THE DISPOSAL AND USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company is an investment holding company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in distribution of films, sub-licensing of film rights, sales of financial assets, provision of management services to the concierge department of a gaming promoter, property investment and money lending.
With an occupancy rate below 50%, the Property generates a monthly rental income of approximately HK$490,000 to the Group. The Directors consider that the Disposal presents a good opportunity for the Group to realise its investment in the Property on the following grounds:
(a) the Consideration exceeds the book value of the Property of HK$469.00 million as at 30 June 2012 by HK$117.00 million, which represents a premium of approximately 24.90% over the book value of the Property;
(b) the Consideration per square feet exceeds the average price per square feet for industrial property sales transaction in Kwun Tong of HK$3,718 for October 2012 as disclosed on the website of Centaline Commercial by 13%; and
(c) the number of prospective purchasers in the market is limited as the amount involved in purchasing the entire Property is large.
Accordingly, the Directors consider that the terms of the Preliminary SPA, as may be varied by and/or superseded with the Formal SPA, including the Consideration, and the Disposal are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Disposal to finance any possible property investment project and/or other business investment, including but not limited to the subscription (the "Second Tranche Subscription") of the second tranche of convertible notes of HK$300.00 million to be issued by China Star Entertainment Limited ("China Star") pursuant to the conditional subscription agreement dated 21 January 2011 entered into between the Company and China Star. The Group has recently identified a property investment project in Hong Kong. After a preliminary negotiation through a property agent, the Directors found that the offer price of the property investment project exceeded the Group's estimated value. Therefore, negotiation for that property investment project
— 8 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
has been ceased. Save and except for disclosed above, no such property investment project or other business has been identified by the Group as at the Latest Practicable Date. In the event that the Company proceeds to a possible property investment project and/or other business investment, announcements will be made in compliance with the Listing Rules.
Given that the Second Tranche Subscription is subject to the fulfillment of the conditions precedents set out in the conditional subscription agreement dated 21 January 2011, including the availability of sufficient fund by the Company, the Directors shall give priority to the possible property investment project and/or other business investment over the Second Tranche Subscription in applying the net proceeds from the Disposal.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has a cash and bank balance of approximately HK$292.99 million.
FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL
Net Assets
As at 30 June 2012, the unaudited consolidated net assets of the Group amounted to HK$1,376.47 million.
As set out in Appendix III to this circular, assuming the Disposal had been completed on 30 June 2012, the unaudited pro forma consolidated net assets of the Remaining Group would have been increased to HK$1,488.33 million.
Earnings
The Group recorded an unaudited consolidated profit of HK$91.11 million for the six months ended 30 June 2012.
As set out in Appendix III to this circular, assuming the Disposal had been taken place on 1 January 2012, the unaudited pro forma consolidated profit of the Remaining Group for the six months ended 30 June 2012 would have been increased to HK$201.26 million.
Gain on the Disposal
As set out in Appendix III to this circular, assuming the Disposal had been taken place on 1 January 2012, the Remaining Group would have recorded a gain on the Disposal of HK$143.64 million which arisen from the sale proceeds of HK$586.00 million less the carrying amount of the Property as at 31 December 2011 of HK$435.00 million and the estimated direct transaction costs of HK$7.36 million associated with the Disposal.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
FUTURE BUSINESS PLAN ON THE REMAINING GROUP'S EXISTING BUSINESSES
Upon Completion, the Remaining Group will continue to carry out its existing businesses in distribution of films, sub-licensing of film rights, sales of financial assets, provision of management services to the concierge department of a gaming promoter, property investment and money lending.
In order to revitalize its film distribution business, the Group acquired a 29.00% of the entire issued share capital of China Media in August 2012. Given that the Group is not able to secure quality films at reasonable prices for distribution, the Directors consider that the acquisition enables the Group to (i) form a strategic alliance with China Media and Culture Landmark the controlling shareholder of China Media, leveraging on each respective strengths; and (ii) secure a stable supply of films from China Media for distribution in Mainland China.
The Directors believe the unresolved European debt situation continues to pose challenging market conditions for Hong Kong equities. As such, the Group will continue to adopt a more conservative investment approach towards its sales of financial assets business.
As one of its management services agreements was terminated on 12 September 2012, the performance of the Group's provision of management services business is significantly deteriorated in the second half of 2012. In light of the keen competition in Macau VIP gaming sector and the contraction in the Mainland China economy, the Directors have ceased to explore opportunities in providing management services to the concierge departments of other gaming promoters in Macau. The Group concentrates its existing resources in providing management services under the remaining management services agreement.
For the property investment business, the Group acquired two properties located at Ma Yau Tong, Sai Kung, New Territories, Hong Kong at a total consideration of HK$21.44 million in August 2012. These two properties are held by the Group as long-term investments for rental purposes. As at the Latest Practicable Date, all units of these properties have been rented out. The Group will continue to seek opportunity for investing other properties in order to enrich the Group's property investment portfolio and increase rental income to the Group.
Given that the European debt crisis remains unresolved and there is a contraction in the Mainland China economy, the Hong Kong economy has inevitably been affected. The Group is adopting a more cautious approach during its assessment and approval of loans in order to reduce its credit risk.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Other than focusing on the existing businesses, the Directors are active in identifying suitable investment opportunities for the Group to diversify its businesses and broaden its revenue base.
IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES
As one of the applicable percentage ratios calculated in accordance with Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules is more than 75%, the Disposal constitutes a very substantial disposal of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. The Disposal is therefore subject to the Shareholders’ approval at the SGM.
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder has a material interest in the Disposal and therefore no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting for the resolutions to approve the Preliminary SPA, as may be varied by and/or superseded with the Formal SPA, and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the SGM.
THE SGM
A notice convening the SGM to be held at Macau Jockey Club, 1/F Function Room, 1st Floor, China Merchants Tower, Shun Tak Centre, 168-200 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong on Wednesday, 9 January 2013 at 2:00 p.m. for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing, with or without amendments, the resolution to approve the Preliminary SPA, as may be varied by and/or superseded with the Formal SPA, and the transactions contemplated thereunder set out on pages 53 to 54 of this circular.
A form of proxy for use by the Shareholders at the SGM is enclosed. Whether or not you are able to attend the SGM, you are requested to complete and return the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and deposit the same at the Company’s Hong Kong branch share registrar and transfer office, Tricor Standard Limited, 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the SGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the SGM or any adjournment thereof should you so wish and in such event, the form of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Set out below is the management discussion and analysis extracted from the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2012.
Financial Review
Results of operations
During the six months ended 30 June 2012, the Group recorded a revenue of HK$45,472,000, a 0.88% increase from HK$45,074,000 for the same period of the previous year. Of the total turnover, HK$38,131,000 or 83.86% was generated from provision of management services, HK$3,916,000 or 8.61% was generated from money lending, HK$2,776,000 or 6.10% was generated from property investment and HK$649,000 or 1.43% was generated from sales of financial assets. Profit for the six months ended 30 June 2012 amounted to HK$91,105,000, a 43.22% increase from HK$63,612,000 for the
APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
correspondence period in 2011. This increase was mainly attributable to the recognition of a gain arising on change in fair value of investment properties of HK$34,080,000 and a gain arising on change in fair value of conversion options embedded in convertible notes receivables of HK$17,369,000, which were partly offset by an impairment loss on intangible assets of HK$27,111,000.
Investment and other income decreased by 64.75% from HK$3,328,000 in the six months ended 30 June 2011 to HK$1,173,000 in the six months ended 30 June 2012. This decrease was attributable to the lower interest income on bank deposits in the six months ended 30 June 2012 as the Group's cash and bank balances decreased by 72.08% from HK$848,299,000 at 30 June 2011 to HK$236,816,000 at 30 June 2012. Such decrease was partly offset by a gain on disposal of an investment property of HK$640,000.
Other gains and losses represent items of income and expenses, which are material and/or extraordinary in nature. Major items of other gains and losses recorded by the Group during the six months ended 30 June 2012 are as follows:
(a) in the second half of 2011, the Group subscribed for the first tranche of convertible notes of HK$350,000,000 issued by China Star Entertainment Limited (“China Star”, stock code: 326) and the convertible notes of HK$75,000,000 issued by Culture Landmark Investment Limited (“Culture Landmark”, stock code: 674). In March 2012, the Group subscribed for a convertible note of HK$27,000,000 issued by Koffman Corporate Service Limited (“Koffman Corporate”), a Hong Kong private company, at its face value. Accordingly, the Group recognised an imputed interest income on convertible notes receivables of HK$28,401,000;
(b) the fair value of the conversion options embedded in convertible notes receivables was reassessed at the end of the reporting period with reference to the valuations performed by an independent professional valuer. As the closing price per share in China Star surged from HK$0.22 on 30 December 2011 to HK$0.345 on 29 June 2012, the fair value of the conversion options embedded in the convertible notes receivable from China Star increased from HK$65,070,000 at 31 December 2011 to HK$93,595,000 at 30 June 2012. Accordingly, a gain arising on change in fair value of the conversion options embedded in the convertible notes receivable from China Star of HK$28,525,000 was recognised. Such gain was partly offset by the losses arising on change in fair value of conversion options embedded in the convertible notes receivable from Culture Landmark and Koffman Corporate of HK$7,453,000 and HK$3,703,000 respectively;
— 14 —
APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
(c) at the end of the reporting period, the directors reassessed the fair value of investment properties held by the Group with reference to the property valuations performed by the independent professional valuers and, in light of the recent increase in property prices in Hong Kong, a gain arising on change in fair value of investment properties of HK$34,080,000 was recognised;
(d) at the end of the reporting period, the directors reassessed the recoverable amounts of management services agreements held by the Group with reference to the valuations performed by the independent professional valuer and, in light of the management services agreement with Dore Entretenimento Sociedade Unipessoal Limitada (“Dore”), a licensed gaming promoter for Wynn Macau, being terminated on 12 September 2012, an impairment loss on intangible assets of HK$27,111,000 was recognised; and
(e) in May 2012, Culture Landmark early redeemed HK$23,000,000 of the convertible notes of HK$75,000,000 held by the Group at par. As a result, a gain arising on early redemption of convertible notes receivables of HK$1,836,000 was recognised.
Administrative expenses (before depreciation) amounted to HK$10,743,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2012, a 4.00% decrease from HK$11,191,000 for the same period of the previous year. This decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in legal and professional fees, which was partly offset by the share-based payment expenses of HK$1,892,000 and the increase in salaries and other allowances of HK$1,759,000.
During the six months ended 30 June 2012, Spark Concept Group Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Spark Concept Group”), the associates of the Group engaged in catering and wine trading business in Hong Kong, reported a loss of HK$1,841,000. As the Group’s share of post-acquisition losses equals to its interests in Spark Concept Group Limited, the Group did not further recognise its share of losses.
For the six months ended 30 June 2012, the Group recorded an income tax credit of HK$3,253,000 which represents the reversal of deferred tax liabilities arising from the recognition of impairment loss on intangible assets. This income tax credit was partly offset by the income tax expense of HK$659,000.

APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
Employees and remuneration policy
At 30 June 2012, the headcount of the Group was 12 (2011: 10). Staff costs (including directors’ remuneration) amounted to HK$4,107,000 (2011: HK$1,733,000). In addition to basic salaries, provident fund and discretionary bonus, staff benefits include medical scheme and share options.
Operations Review
During the six months ended 30 June 2012, no revenue was generated from the Group’s film distribution business as the Group was not able to secure quality films at reasonable prices for distribution. For the purpose of revitalising the Group’s film distribution business, the Company as purchaser entered into the conditional sale and purchase agreement with Culture Landmark as vendor on 28 May 2012 relating to the acquisition of 146,640,000 shares in China Media at a consideration of HK$51,324,000. The directors consider that the acquisition enables the Group to (i) form a strategic alliance with Culture Landmark and China Media leveraging on each respective strengths; and (ii) secure a stable supply of films from China Media for distribution in Mainland China. The acquisition was approved by the shareholders on 27 July 2012 and completed on 3 August 2012.
The first quarter of 2012 has proved strongly positive for Hong Kong equities, with the Hang Seng Index rising by some 11%. However, Hong Kong equities gave up much of their first quarter gains in the second quarter, owing to deterioration in both the European debt crisis as well as the growth momentum of the Mainland China economy. In view of the continuation of volatility, the Group did not make any investment in equities, but sought opportunities to realise its equities. In March 2012, the Group disposed of certain equities and recorded a gain of HK$649,000. During the six months ended 30 June 2012, the Group recorded a loss arising on change in fair value of HK$1,885,000 for its financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. As the closing price per share in China Star surged from HK$0.22 on 30 December 2011 to HK$0.345 on 29 June 2012, a gain arising on revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets of HK$33,500,000 was recognised in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
During the six months ended 30 June 2012, the Group’s provision of management services business generated services fee income amounted to HK$38,131,000, a 15.40% decrease as compared to the same period of the previous year. This decrease reflects a keen competition in Macau VIP gaming sector following the opening of the first phase of Sands Cotai Central and Galaxy Macau in mid 2011, despite a 15.09% increase in Macau VIP gaming revenue in the first half of 2012 as compared to the correspondence period of 2011.

APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
On 12 September 2011, the Group was informed by Dore that the management services agreement dated 30 June 2008 entered into between the Group and Dore would be terminated on 12 September 2012. Given that the services fee income generated from the management services agreement represents a substantial portion of the revenue of the Group's provision of management services business, it is expected that there will be a substantial decrease in the revenue of the Group's provision of management services business from 12 September 2012. In view of the management services agreement being terminated on 12 September 2012, the Group further recognised an impairment loss on intangible assets of HK$27,111,000 in the six months ended 30 June 2012. Upon the termination of the management services agreement with Dore on 12 September 2012, the Group shall continue to carry out the business of provision of management services to the concierge department of gaming promoter pursuant to the remaining management services agreement held by it.
During the six months ended 30 June 2012, the investment properties (the "Kwun Tong Property") located at Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong generated a rental income of HK$2,776,000 and its occupancy rate calculated in gross floor area was 41.26% at 30 June 2012. Activities have been carried out for selling the Kwun Tong Property entirely or partly. Enquiries have been received, but no terms or agreements have been reached up to the date of this report. In April 2012, the Group disposed of its residential property located at Tseung Kwan O, New Territories, Hong Kong at a cash consideration of HK$7,950,000 and recorded a gain on disposal of an investment property of HK$640,000.
With a view to diversify its revenue sources, the Group expanded into money lending business by acquiring the entire issued shares in and the sale loan due by Hong Kong Builders, a Hong Kong company engaged in money lending business, at a consideration of HK$33,069,172. As the fair value of the net identifiable assets of Hong Kong Builders exceeds the fair value of the consideration paid by HK$32,000, the Group recognised a gain on a bargain purchase of HK$32,000. During the six months ended 30 June 2012, Hong Kong Builders generated interest income of HK$3,916,000 and granted a loan in the principal amount of HK$15,000,000 to a customer. In February 2012, Hong Kong Builders entered into six building mortgages in the aggregate principal amount of HK$9,000,000 with six individuals. The drawdown of the building mortgages are expected to be taken place in the third quarter of 2012. At 30 June 2012, Hong Kong Builders loans receivables together with accrued interest receivables amounted to HK$53,257,000.
For the purpose of creating a fixed income portfolio, the Group subscribed for the convertible notes of HK$350,000,000 and HK$75,000,000 issued by China Star and Culture Landmark respectively in 2011. In March 2012, the Group subscribed for the convertible note issued by Koffman Corporate in the principal amount of HK$27,000,000 at its face value. The convertible note issued by Koffman Corporate is unsecured, non-interest

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
bearing and maturing on 21 March 2015. According to the terms of the convertible note issued by Koffman Corporate, the whole convertible note shall automatically be converted into shares in Koffman Corporate upon the success of initial public offering of Koffman Corporate’s shares at the price of initial public offering, provided that the convertible note has not been redeemed. Any amount of the convertible note which remains outstanding on the maturity date shall be redeemed by Koffman Corporate at its then outstanding principal amount plus a premium calculated at 20% of the then outstanding principal amount. In May 2012, Culture Landmark early redeemed HK$23,000,000 of the convertible notes of HK$75,000,000 held by the Group at par. Accordingly, a gain arising on early redemption of convertible notes receivables of HK$1,836,000 was recorded. During the six months ended 30 June 2012, the Group’s fixed income portfolio generated imputed interest income of HK$28,401,000.
In the six months ended 30 June 2012, the Spark Concept Group expanded its operations by opening a Japanese noodle shop in Central District and a European cuisine restaurant in Sheung Wan. The Spark Concept Group now has four operating arms, which are two restaurants, the Japanese noodle shop and a wine trading company. To finance the capital expenditures for opening of the Japanese noodle shop and the European cuisine restaurant, each of the shareholders of Spark Concept Group Limited made an interest-free advance to the Spark Concept Group according to its shareholding interest. In January 2012, the Group made a cash advance of HK$5,390,000 to the Spark Concept Group. At 30 June 2012, the Spark Concept Group owed the Group an amount of HK$7,393,000, which is unsecured, interest-free and repayable on demand. Due to the rising in food and labour costs and the pre-operating expenses incurred, the Spark Concept Group reported a loss of HK$1,841,000 for the period. As the Group’s share of post-acquisition losses equals to its interests in Spark Concept Group Limited, no further share of losses was recognised.
Future Prospects
The directors believe the unresolved European debt situation continues to pose challenging market conditions for Hong Kong equities. Moreover, the pace and magnitude of policy easing in Mainland China continues to underwhelm. As such, the Group will continue to adopt a more conservative investment approach toward its sales of financial assets business for the remaining financial year of 2012.
As one of its management services agreements will be terminated on 12 September 2012, it is expected that the performance of the Group’s provision of management services business will be significantly deteriorated in the second half of 2012. In light of the keen competition in Macau VIP gaming sector and the further contraction in the Mainland China economy, the directors have ceased to explore opportunities in providing management services to the concierge departments of other gaming promoters in Macau.
APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
For the property investment business, the Group intends to sell the Kwun Tong Property entirely or partly and the car parking space located at Tseung Kwan O, New Territories, Hong Kong for capital gain. Following the Energizing Kowloon East Project announced by the Chief Executive of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in 2011, the price level of industrial buildings in Kwun Tong is challenging higher and higher level. With the recent expansion of The Link’s investment strategy to include non-residential properties, speculation activities are active since May 2012. The directors believe that the Kwun Tong Property is able to generate a considerable capital gain to the Group.
Given that the European debt crisis remains unresolved and there is a further contraction in the Mainland China economy, the Hong Kong economy has inevitably been affected. The Group will adopt a more cautious approach during its assessment and approval of loans in order to reduce its credit risk. Accordingly, the directors expect a steady growth in the newly expanded money lending business.
The directors believe that the key risks for the second half of 2012 are (i) weaker than forecast United States growth, (ii) the risk of a hard economic landing in Mainland China, (iii) a failure to agree a long term sustainable structure for the Eurozone, and (iv) recession in Europe proves deeper and longer than expected. As such, the Group will continue to cautiously monitor the business environment, focus on its existing business and implement prudent cost control strategies.

The net cash received is the difference of sale proceeds of HK$586,000,000 and the estimated transaction costs (including property agent’s commission) of HK$7,360,000 incurred upon completion of the Disposal.
The pro forma adjustment also represents the reversal of deferred tax liability of HK$2,200,000 in relation to the accelerated tax depreciation recognised in prior years.

The consideration is settled by cash through three instalments.

Dear Sirs,
Re: Valuation of Factories A and B on the 1st Floor and the Flat Roof, The whole of 6th-12th Floors, Roof, External Walls, Lavatories A and B and Carpark Nos. 1-3 and 14-21 on Ground Floor, Lucky (Kwun Tong) Industrial Building, Nos. 398-402 Kwun Tong Road (formerly No. 95 How Ming Street), Kwun Tong, Kowloon
In accordance with the instructions from Eternity Investment Limited (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") for us to value the above captioned property interest in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (hereinafter referred to as "Hong Kong"), we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for providing you with our opinion of value of the property interest as at 31 October 2012 (hereinafter referred to as the "Date of Valuation"). This letter, forming part of our valuation report, identifies the property interest being valued, explains the basis and methodology of our valuation and lists out the assumptions and title investigation, which we have made in the course of our valuation, as well as the limiting conditions.
Our valuation represents our opinion of market value which we would define as intended to mean "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".
— 35 —
APPENDIX IV
VALUATION REPORT ON THE PROPERTY
In valuing the property interest which is held for investment by the Company in Hong Kong, we have adopted the Investment Approach by taking into account the current rents passing and the reversionary income potential of the tenancies. For the portion of the property which is currently vacant, we have adopted the Direct Comparison Approach assuming sale of the property interest in its existing state with the benefit of vacant possession and by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market.
Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the owner sells the property on the open market in its existing state without the benefit of a deferred terms contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement which could serve to affect the value of the property. No forced sale situation in any manner is assumed in our valuation. In addition, we have been advised by the Company that the property has no option or right of pre-emption which would concern or affect the sale of the property.
No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the property interest or for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the property interest is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect its value.
We have caused sampling title searches to be made at the relevant Land Registry in respect of the property interest. However, we have not searched the original documents to verify the ownership or to ascertain the existence of any amendments.
In valuing the property interest located in Hong Kong, of which the Government Lease has expired before 30 June 1997, we have taken into account the provisions contained in the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the New Territories (Extension) Ordinance 1988 that such lease has been extended without any additional payment of premium until 30 June 2047 and that an annual rent equivalent to three per cent of the rateable value of the property will be charged from the date of extension.
The property was inspected by Mr. Tony M. W. Cheng during November 2012. We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of the property. In the course of our inspections, we did not note any serious defects. However, no structural survey has been made and we are therefore unable to report whether the property is free from rot, infestation or any other defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services.
— 36 —
APPENDIX IV
VALUATION REPORT ON THE PROPERTY
We have not carried out on-site measurements to verify the correctness of the site and floor area of the property but have assumed that the site and floor area shown on the documents and floor plans available to us are correct. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the attached valuation certificate are based on information contained in the documents provided to us and are, therefore, only approximations.
We have relied to a considerable extent on the information provided by the Company and have accepted advice on such matters as planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, tenures, floor area and all other relevant materials regarding the property.
We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company. We were also advised by the Company that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view, and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.
In valuing the property interest, we have complied with all the requirements set out in Chapter 5 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (First Edition 2005) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors effective from 1 January 2005.
Unless otherwise stated, all monetary amounts stated in this report are in Hong Kong Dollars (HK$).
We hereby confirm that we have neither present nor prospective interests in the Company, the property or the value reported herein.
Our Valuation Certificate is enclosed herewith.
Yours faithfully,
For and on behalf of
Peak Vision Appraisals Limited

Notes:
(i) The registered owner of the property is Rexdale Investment Limited vide Memorial No. 11110900740018 Certified Copy of Certificate of Change of Name dated 16 February 2011.

The cost of refurbishment is insignificant with respect to the market value of the property, being in the range of HK$550,000 to HK$850,000. As of the date of conducting the land search (28 November 2012), there is no charging order received.
