TERMINATION OF SERVICES AGREEMENT

This announcement is made pursuant to Rule 13.09(1) of the Listing Rules.

On 12 September 2011, Rich Daily has been informed by the Gaming Promoter that the Services Agreement, which is one of the services agreements held by Rich Daily, will be terminated with effect from the date after the first anniversary of the Notice. Pursuant to the terms of the Services Agreement, the Gaming Promoter or the Group may terminate the Services Agreement by giving not less than 12 month's prior written notice.

Based on the Company's annual report for the year ended 31 December 2010 and the unaudited consolidated interim results of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2011, the revenue generated from the Services Agreement represents approximately 77% and 92% of the total revenue of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2010 and the six months ended 30 June 2011 respectively or approximately 82% and 92% of the total revenue of the Group's provision of management services business for the year ended 31 December 2010 and the six months ended 30 June 2011 respectively.

According to a preliminary assessment by the Directors, it is expected that the termination of the Services Agreement shall have the following financial impacts on the Group:

(i) given the termination of the Services Agreement becoming effective on 12 September 2012, there is no immediate impact on the revenue of the Group's provision of management services business for the year ending 31 December 2011 and the six months ending 30 June 2012;

(ii) Rich Daily shall continue to carry out the business of provision of management services to the concierge department of other gaming promoter in Macau after 12 September 2012, being the date on which the termination of the Services Agreement becoming effective, pursuant to the remaining services agreement held by it;


(iii) given that the management services fee income generated from the Services Agreement represents a substantial portion of the revenue of the provision of management services business of the Group,

(a) there will be a substantial decrease in the revenue of the Group’s provision of management services business from 12 September 2012, being the date of termination of the Services Agreement; and

(b) a substantial impairment loss in respect of intangible assets shall be recognised in the year ending 31 December 2011; and

(iv) the Group may incur a substantial loss for the year ending 31 December 2011 as a result of the recognition of the impairment loss.

Despite the above financial impacts on the Group, the Directors are of the view that the financial position of the Group remains sound.

Upon the termination of the Services Agreement becoming effective, the Group shall continue to carry out the businesses of distribution of films, sub-licensing of film rights, sale of financial assets and provision of management services.

As the termination of the Services Agreement becomes effective on 12 September 2012 and the Group has resources and expertise in provision of management services available, the Directors shall actively explore opportunities in providing management services to the concierge departments of other gaming promoters in Macau in order to revitalise the Group’s provision of management services business.
