LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the current conversion price of the 8% CBs and the historical acquisition cost of the 303,990,338 China Star Shares already held by Simple View and Victory Peace, the effective acquisition cost for the maximum number of Disposable China Star Shares of 3,485,808,519 is HK$543.45 million or HK$0.1559 per Disposable China Star Share.

If the Conversion is approved by the Shareholders at the SGM, the maximum number of the Disposable China Star Shares will be 4,093,789,195 (representing 303,990,338 China Star Shares, 3,181,818,181 new China Star Shares and 607,980,676 new China Star Shares mentioned above in this section), which represents approximately 56.14% of the issued share capital of China Star of 7,292,686,872 China Star Shares as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the 3,181,818,181 new China Star Shares pursuant to the exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the 8% CBs by the Group and the allotment and issue of the 607,980,676 new China Star Shares pursuant to the Conversion.

As the Bonus CBs were issued to Simple View and Victory Peace pursuant to the China Star Bonus Issue, there is no acquisition cost for the Bonus CBs held by Simple View and Victory Peace. Accordingly, there is no acquisition cost of the 607,980,676 new China Star Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued to Simple View and Victory Peace upon the exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the Bonus CBs in the aggregate principal amount of HK$6,079,806.76. Based on the current conversion price of the 8% CBs and the acquisition costs of the 303,990,338 China Star Shares already held by Simple View and Victory Peace, the effective acquisition cost for the maximum number of Disposable China Star Shares of 4,093,789,195 is HK$543.45 million or HK$0.13275 per Disposable China Star Share.

Prior to any exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the Bonus CBs and the 8% CBs, the Accounts Department of the Group prepares the conversion notes and updates the stock holding record on the number of China Star Shares and the underlying China Star Shares attaching to the Bonus CBs and the 8% CBs. After the updating of the stock holding record, the Accounts Department determines the Group's projected shareholding interests in China Star after conversion with reference to the updated stock holding record and the latest Monthly Return of China Star on Movements in Securities or the latest Next Day Disclosure Return – Change in Issued Share Capital of China Star, if any, in order to ensure the compliance with the conversion restrictions imposed on the Bonus CBs and the 8% CBs.

Assuming the Conversion is approved by the Shareholders and the maximum number of Disposable China Star Shares of 4,093,789,195 are fully disposed of, the Company will cease to have any shareholding interest in China Star, save for the unsecured convertible bonds in the aggregate principal amount of HK$300.00 million to be issued to the Company by China Star.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

If the Conversion is approved by the Shareholders at the SGM, the exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the Bonus CBs will take place before the exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the 8% CBs.

In the event that the Disposal is not approved by the Shareholders at the SGM or the Conversion and the Disposal are not approved by the Shareholders at the SGM, the Company is only able to dispose of such number of China Star Shares which constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules.

Condition precedent

The Disposal shall be conditional upon the approval by the Shareholders at the SGM.

Financial effects of the Conversion and the Disposal

As the Conversion and the Disposal are two separate transactions and they are not interconditional, there is a chance that the Conversion is not approved by the Shareholders while the Disposal is approved by the Shareholders or vice versa. Accordingly, the following three scenarios for the financial effects of the Conversion and the Disposal on the Enlarged Group and the Remaining Group are presented:

a. Scenario I: the Conversion is approved by the Shareholders, the Bonus CBs are fully converted into 607,980,676 new China Star Shares and no Disposable China Star Shares are disposed of (“Scenario I”);

b. Scenario II: the Conversion is not approved by the Shareholders, the 8% CBs are fully converted into new China Star Shares and 3,485,808,519 Disposable China Star Shares, comprising 303,990,338 China Star Shares already held by the Group as at the Latest Practicable Date and 3,181,818,181 new China Star Shares to be allotted and issued to the Group upon the full conversion of the 8% CBs, are fully disposed of by a single transaction (“Scenario II”); and

c. Scenario III: the Conversion is approved by the Shareholders, the Bonus CBs and the 8% CBs are fully converted into new China Star Shares and 4,093,789,195 Disposable China Star Shares, comprising 303,990,338 China Star Shares already held by the Group as at the Latest Practicable Date, 607,980,676 new China Star Shares to be allotted and issued to the Group upon the full conversion of the Bonus CBs and 3,181,818,181 new China Star Shares to be allotted and issued to the Group upon the full conversion of the 8% CBs, are fully disposed of by a single transaction (“Scenario III”).


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Shareholders and readers of this circular should note that the financial effects of Scenario II and Scenario III on the Remaining Group are for illustration purpose only as the Group is not able to dispose of the entire Disposable China Star Shares by a single transaction due to any conversion of the outstanding principal amount of the Bonus CBs or the 8% CBs shall not (i) trigger a mandatory offer obligation under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code on the holder(s) of the Bonus CBs or the 8% CBs which exercised the conversion right and its party(ies) acting in concert as defined under the Takeovers Code; and (ii) cause the public float of China Star unable to meet the requirement under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules.

If the Disposal is approved by the Shareholders at the SGM, the new China Star Shares to be allotted and issued to the Group upon the conversion of the principal amount the 8% CBs together with the 303,990,338 China Star Shares that already held by the Group shall be recognised as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurements, instead of accounted for as an associate in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 28 Investments in Associates.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

On 9 January 2013, China Star issued the Bonus CBs in the aggregate principal amount of HK$6,079,806.76 to the Group pursuant to the China Star Bonus Issue. As no Shareholders’ approval has been obtained for the conversion of the Bonus CBs held by the Group, the Directors consider that the approval of the Conversion by the Shareholders enables the Group to convert the principal amount of the Bonus CBs into new China Star Shares as and when appropriate. Therefore, the Directors consider that the Conversion is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As the Company has no intention to obtain a controlling interest in China Star, the Company’s interests in China Star Shares, the Bonus CBs and the 8% CBs (including the new China Star Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued to the Group upon the exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the Bonus CBs and the 8% CBs) are limited to investment interest for profit purposes only. As the price of China Star Shares has surged significantly since January 2013, the Directors intend to realise the Company’s investment interest in China Star by disposing of the Disposable China Star Shares on market. Given that the size of the Disposable China Star Shares is enormous and Hong Kong equity market is dynamic, the Directors believe that the realisation of any Disposable China Star Shares requires a timely execution and a long period of time. As such, a mandate granted by the Shareholders allows the Directors to act promptly in response to the market conditions and provides a high degree of flexibility to the Group for realising the Disposable China Star Shares. Therefore, the Directors consider that the Disposal is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Upon completion of the Disposal, the principal businesses of the Group will remain unchange.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

bonds of HK$300.00 million to be issued by China Star pursuant to the conditional subscription agreement dated 21 January 2011 entered into between the Company and China Star. In December 2012, the Group 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 property was ceased. Save and except for disclosed above, no such property investment project or other business investment has been identified by the Group as at the Latest Practicable Date. In the event that the Group 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 precedent set out in the conditional subscription agreement dated 21 January 2011, among other things, 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.

The financial and trading prospects of the Enlarged Group and the Remaining Group is set out on pages 102 to 103 of Appendix V to this circular.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

As the relevant applicable percentage ratios calculated in accordance with Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules are more than 100%, the Conversion constitutes a very substantial acquisition of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Conversion is subject to Shareholders’ approval at the SGM.

As the relevant applicable percentage ratios calculated in accordance with Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules are more than 75%, the Disposal, if effected, constitutes a very substantial disposal of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Disposal is subject to the Shareholders’ approval at the SGM.

The SGM will be convened and held for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Conversion and the Disposal. The aforesaid approvals shall be obtained by way of a poll. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder has a material interest in the Conversion and the Disposal therefore no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting for the resolutions to approve the Conversion and the Disposal at the SGM.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE ENLARGED GROUP AND THE REMAINING GROUP

Respective responsibilities of the directors of the Company and reporting accountants

It is the responsibility solely of the directors of the Company to prepare the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”) and Accounting Guideline 7 “Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”).

It is our responsibility to form an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

Basis of opinion

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Investment Circular Reporting Engagements 300 “Accountants’ Reports on Pro Forma Financial Information in Investment Circulars” issued by the HKICPA. Our work consisted primarily of comparing the audited financial information with the source documents, considering the evidence supporting the adjustments and discussing the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information with the directors of the Company.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE ENLARGED GROUP AND THE REMAINING GROUP

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

This Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Rule 4.29 of the Listing Rules for the purpose of illustrating the effect of the Conversion and the Disposal. It has been prepared on the basis of the notes set out below and is consistent with the accounting policies adopted by the Group. As the Conversion and the Disposal are two separate transactions and they are not inter-conditional, the following three scenarios are presented:

Scenario I

It is assumed that:

(a) the Conversion is approved by the shareholders of the Company; and

(b) the full conversion of the Bonus CBs is completed on 1 January 2012 or 31 December 2012 (as the case may be) and no China Star Shares are disposed of by the Group during the year ended 31 December 2012.

Scenario II

It is assumed that:

(a) the Conversion is not approved by the shareholders of the Company; and

(b) the full conversion of the 8% CBs and the disposal of a total of 3,485,808,519 China Star Shares, which represent (i) the 303,990,338 China Star Shares that already held by the Group and (ii) the 3,181,818,181 new China Star Shares to be allotted and issued to the Group pursuant to the exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the 8% CBs by a single transaction are completed on 1 January 2012 or 31 December 2012 (as the case may be).

(b) the full conversion of the 8% CBs and the Bonus CBs and the disposal of a total of 4,093,789,195 China Star Shares, which represent (i) the 303,990,338 China Star Shares that already held by the Group, (ii) the 3,181,818,181 new China Star Shares to be allotted and issued to the Group pursuant to the exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the 8% CBs and (iii) the 607,980,676 China Star Shares to be allotted and issued to the Group pursuant to the exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the Bonus CBs, by a single transaction are completed on 1 January 2012 or 31 December 2012 (as the case may be).

It should be noted that the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information is for illustration purpose only as the Group is not able to dispose of its entire China Star Shares that already owned by it and the entire new China Star Shares to be allotted and issued to it upon the exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the Bonus CBs and/or the 8% CBs in full by a single transaction due to any conversion of the outstanding principal amount of the Bonus CBs and/or the 8% CBs shall not (i) trigger a mandatory offer obligation under Rule 26 of the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers on the holder(s) of the Bonus CBs or the 8% CBs which exercised the conversion right and its party(ies) acting in concert as defined under the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers; and (ii) cause the public float of the China Star unable to meet the requirement under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group and the Remaining Group is prepared based on the audited consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2012 as extracted from the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2012, after making pro forma adjustments relating to the conversion of the Bonus CBs and/or the 8% CBs and the Disposal, as if they had been completed on 31 December 2012.

The unaudited pro forma income statement, unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of cash flows of the Enlarged Group and the Remaining Group are prepared based on the audited consolidated income statement, audited consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the audited consolidated statement of cash flows of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2012 as extracted from the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2012, after making pro forma adjustments relating to the conversion of the Bonus CBs and/or the 8% CBs and the Disposal, as if they had been completed on 1 January 2012.

For the year ended 31 December 2012

Financial Review

Results of operations

The Enlarged Group or Remaining Group recorded a turnover of HK$67.44 million for the year ended 31 December 2012, a 14.82% decrease from HK$79.17 million for the previous year. Of the total turnover amount, HK$51.08 million or 75.74% was generated from provision of management services, HK$9.78 million or 14.51% was generated from money lending, HK$5.93 million or 8.79% was generated from property investment and HK$0.65 million or 0.96% was generated from sale of financial assets.

Under Scenario I, it is assumed that the Bonus CBs had been fully converted into 607,980,676 new China Star Shares on 1 January 2012 and no Disposable China Star Shares had been disposed of. Profit attributable to owners of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2012 would have been HK$677.30 million.

Under Scenario II, it is assumed that the 8% CBs had been fully converted into 3,181,818,181 new China Star Shares and 3,485,808,519 Disposable China Star Shares had been fully disposed of at the closing price of HK$0.0733 per China Star Share (adjusted for the China Star Bonus Issue) on 1 January 2012. Profit attributable to owners of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2012 would have been HK$52.90 million.

Under Scenario III, it is assumed that the Bonus CBs and the 8% CBs had been fully converted into 3,789,798,857 new China Star Shares and 4,093,789,195 Disposable China Star Shares had been fully disposed of at the closing price of HK$0.0733 per China Star Share (adjusted for the China Star Bonus Issue) on 1 January 2012.

Investment and other income decreased by 83.12% from HK$15.41 million in the year ended 31 December 2011 to HK$2.60 million in the year ended 31 December 2012. This decrease was attributable to the decrease in interest income on bank deposits and the absence of special dividend income from China Star.

Administrative expenses (before amortisation and depreciation) amounted to HK$23.51 million for the year ended 31 December 2012, a 9.30% increase from HK$21.51 million for the previous year. This increase was mainly attributable to the increase in Directors’ salaries and allowances, which was partly offset by the decrease in legal and professional fees.

APPENDIX V

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE ENLARGED GROUP AND THE REMAINING GROUP

Exchange risk and hedging

During the year, the majority of the Enlarged Group’s or the Remaining Group’s transactions, assets and liabilities are denominated in Hong Kong Dollars. Accordingly, no financial instruments for hedging purposes have been used by the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group.

Contingent liabilities

At 31 December 2012, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group had a material contingent liability relating to a claim brought by China Finance & Assets Management Limited (“China Finance”) in the High Court Action No. 526 of 2010 against Rexdale Investment Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, for failing to pay a service fee in the sum of HK$25.00 million to China Finance.

No provision for the claim brought by China Finance was made in the consolidated financial statements of the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group for the year ended 31 December 2012 as Lafe Corporation Limited has undertaken to indemnify and keep indemnified the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group against any all losses, claims, damages, penalties, actions, demands, proceedings, judgment and costs arising from or in connection with the claim.

Employees and remuneration policy

At 31 December 2012, the headcount of the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group was 13 (2011: 12). Staff costs (including Directors’ remuneration) for the year ended 31 December 2012 amounted to HK$10.66 million (2011: HK$5.52 million). In addition to basic salaries, provident fund and discretionary bonus, staff benefits include medical scheme and share options.

Operation Review

During the year ended 31 December 2012, no revenue was generated from the film distribution business as the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group was not able to secure quality films at reasonable prices for distribution. In order to revitalise its film distribution business, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group acquired a 29% interest in the issued share capital of China Media from Culture Landmark in August 2012. The film distribution business has been waning over the last few years with management having a difficult time finding and sourcing quality films for distribution on commercially viable terms and

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE ENLARGED GROUP AND THE REMAINING GROUP

profitability for the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group. As one of principal activities of China Media is film production, the Directors believe that taking an investment in China Media enables the Enlarged Group or the Remaining 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.

Hong Kong equities had a volatile year in 2012. With the European Central Bank's pledge to do whatever it takes to save Euro in July 2012, followed by the outright monetary transaction announced in September 2012, and improving economic data from Mainland China, Hong Kong equities have gained more than 15% since bottoming in June 2012. During the year, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group did not make any investment in equities, but sought opportunities to realise its equities. In March 2012, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group disposed of certain equities and recorded a gain of HK$0.65 million. During the year, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group recorded a loss arising on change in fair value of HK$5.17 million for its equities.

During the year, the provision of management services business generated services fee income amounted to HK$51.08 million, a 35.26% decrease as compared to the previous year. This decrease not only reflects the termination of the management services agreement with Dore on 12 September 2012, but also a keen competition in Macau VIP gaming sector following the opening of Galaxy Macau in May 2011 and the first phase of Sands Cotai Central in April 2012, despite a 7.51% increase in Macau VIP gaming revenue in 2012 as compared to the previous year. Following the termination of the management services agreement with Dore, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group continues to provide management services to the concierge department of a licensed gaming promoter pursuant to the remaining management services agreement held by it. Given that the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group has expertise in provision of management services available, the Directors intended to explore opportunities in providing management services to the concierge departments of other gaming promoters in Macau in order to revitalise its provision of management services business. However, in view of the keen competition in Macau VIP gaming sector, the Directors have determined to cease the exploration. During the year, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group recognised an impairment loss on intangible assets of HK$38.22 million.

During the year, the Enlarged Group's or the Remaining Group's property investment business generated a rental income of HK$5.93 million. In April 2012, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group disposed of its residential property located in Tseung Kwan O, New Territories, Hong Kong at a consideration of HK$7.95 million and recorded a gain on disposal of investment property of HK$0.64 million. In August 2012, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group acquired two three-storey New Territories Small Houses

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE ENLARGED GROUP AND THE REMAINING GROUP

located in Ma Yau Tong, Sai Kung, New Territories, Hong Kong at a total consideration of HK$21.44 million. These two three-storey New Territories Small Houses are held by the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group as long-term investments for rental purposes. All units of these two three-storey New Territories Small Houses have been rented out since the fourth quarter of 2012 at a monthly rental of HK$0.08 million. In October 2012, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group disposed of its car parking space located in Tseung Kwan O, New Territories, Hong Kong by selling the entire issued share capital of Dynamic Eagle Investments Limited at a consideration of HK$0.69 million, which was determined based on the net assets value of Dynamic Eagle Investments Limited at 30 September 2012 adjusted for the fair value of the car parking space on that date, and recorded a gain on disposal of a subsidiary of HK$441. In November 2012, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group as vendor entered into a preliminary sale and purchase agreement with Grand Reward Limited as purchaser relating to the sale and purchase of the Kwun Tong Property at a consideration of HK$586 million. The proposed disposal of the Kwun Tong Property was approved by the Shareholders on 9 January 2013. As the proposed disposal has not yet been completed, the Kwun Tong Property was reclassified as "assets classified as held for sale" at 31 December 2012 for financial reporting purpose. It is expected that the proposed disposal will be completed in the second quarter of 2013. Despite the fact that the consideration for disposing of the Kwun Tong Property is reached at HK$586.00 million, the Kwun Tong Property is revalued upwards to its market value of HK$603.00 million at 31 December 2012 in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 40 Investment Property. Given that the carrying value of the Kwun Tong Property of HK$603.00 million at 31 December 2012 exceeds the consideration of HK$586.00 million by HK$17.00 million, it is expected that the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group will record a loss on disposal of the Kwun Tong Property of HK$17.00 million plus transaction costs to be incurred upon completion. During the year, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group recognised a gain arising on change in fair value of investment properties of HK$168.59 million, in which HK$168.00 million was related to the Kwun Tong Property.

With a view to diversify its revenue sources, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining 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$33.07 million. As the net fair value of the identifiable assets of Hong Kong Builders exceeds the fair value of the consideration paid by HK$0.03 million, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group recognised a gain on a bargain purchase of HK$0.03 million. Hong Kong Builders generated interest income on loans of HK$9.78 million for the year. During the year, Hong Kong Builders granted new loans in the aggregate principal amount of HK$63.82 million to customers and received

— 100 —


APPENDIX V

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE ENLARGED GROUP AND THE REMAINING GROUP

loans repayments of HK$32 million. In February 2012, Hong Kong Builders entered into six building mortgages in the aggregate principal amount of HK$9 million with six individuals. The drawdown of the building mortgages is expected to be taken place in the second quarter of 2013. At 31 December 2012, Hong Kong Builders’ loans receivables together with accrued interest receivables amounted to HK$60.75 million.

For the purpose of creating a fixed income portfolio, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group subscribed for the convertible notes of HK$350.00 million and HK$75.00 million issued by China Star and Culture Landmark respectively in 2011. In March 2012, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group subscribed for the convertible note issued by Koffman in the principal amount of HK$27.00 million at its face value. The convertible note issued by Koffman is unsecured, non-interest bearing and maturing on 21 March 2015. According to the terms of the convertible note issued by Koffman, the whole convertible note shall automatically be converted into shares in Koffman upon the success of initial public offering of Koffman’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 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$23.00 million of the convertible notes of HK$75.00 million held by the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group at par. In August 2012, Culture Landmark early redeemed the remaining balance of the convertible notes of HK$52 million at par. Accordingly, a loss arising on early redemption of convertible notes receivables of HK$1.93 million was recorded. At 31 December 2012, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group held the convertible note receivable from Koffman of HK$27 million.

In the first half of 2012, the Spark Concept Group expanded their 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 a fine dining restaurant, the European cuisine restaurant, the Japanese noodle shop and a wine trading company. Due to the rising in food and labour costs and the pre-operating expenses incurred, the Spark Concept Group reported a loss of HK$3.23 million for the year. As the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group’s share of post-acquisition losses equals to its interests in Spark Concept Group Limited, no further share of losses was recognised. To finance the capital expenditures for opening of the Japanese noodle shop and the European cuisine restaurant, each of the shareholders of Spark Concept made an interest-free advance to the Spark Concept Group according to its shareholding interest. In January 2012, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group made a cash advance of HK$5.39 million to Advance Top Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Spark Concept. At 31 December 2012, Advance Top Limited owed the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group an amount of HK$7.39

— 101 —

million, which is unsecured, interest-free and repayable on demand. In view of the net liabilities position of Advance Top Limited, an impairment loss of HK$3.86 million was recognised against the amount due from Advance Top Limited.

Financial and Trading Prospects

As the market grapples with the same issues that have hung over it for several years now: the Eurozone debt crisis, fragile state of economic recovery in the United States and fears of a slowdown in Mainland China, the outlook for 2013 remains uncertain and the Directors expect periods of volatility in 2013. However, the Directors recognise that an uncertainty outlook can often coincide with a good opportunity to invest. As such, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group will continue to adopt a more conservative investment approach toward its sale of financial assets business for 2013.

Following the termination of the management services agreement with Dore on 12 September 2012, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group continues to provide management services to the concierge department of a licensed gaming promoter pursuant to the remaining management services agreement held by it. As the competition in Macau VIP gaming sector is keen, the Directors expect a relatively stable performance for the Enlarged Group's or the Remaining Group's provision of management services business in 2013.

For enriching its property investment portfolio, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group acquired two three-storey New Territories Small Houses in August 2012. All units of these two three-storey New Territories Small Houses have been rented out since the fourth quarter of 2012. According to the terms of the proposed disposal, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group shall deliver vacant possession of the Kwun Tong Property to Grand Reward Limited upon completion. In January 2013, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group served three-month notices to the tenants of the Kwun Tong Property for terminating the tenancies for the purpose of completing the proposed disposal. Accordingly, the rental income of the Enlarged Group's or the Remaining Group's property investment business will be deteriorated after the first quarter of 2013. Despite the introduction of new measures by the Hong Kong Government and Hong Kong Monetary Authority for stabilising property prices in February 2013, the Directors remain optimistic about Hong Kong properties as land is a scarce resource in Hong Kong and the land supply of Hong Kong is limited. As such, the Directors will cautiously seek opportunity for investing other properties in order to enrich the Enlarged Group's or the Remaining Group's property investment portfolio and increase the Enlarged Group's or the Remaining Group's rental income.

— 102 —


APPENDIX V

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE ENLARGED GROUP AND THE REMAINING GROUP

Following the expansion into money lending business in the first quarter of 2012, a number of merchants and professionals have enquired the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group for obtaining short-term financings. The Directors believe that there is a strong demand for short-term financings in Hong Kong and have determined to allocate more resources to expand the Enlarged Group's or the Remaining Group's money lending business in order to improve the Enlarged Group's or the Remaining Group's performance. Despite the determination for expanding its money lending business, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group will adopt a cautious approach towards its assessment and approval of loans in order to reduce its credit risk.

Given that the outlook for 2013 remains uncertain, the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group will continue to cautiously monitor the business environment and continue to strengthen its business foundation by focusing on its the existing businesses to protect the interests of the Shareholders. In addition to focusing on the Enlarged Group's or the Remaining Group's existing businesses in the next fiscal year, the Directors will continue to cautiously identify suitable investment opportunities for the Enlarged Group or the Remaining Group to diversify its businesses and broaden its revenue.
