To the Shareholders,

Dear Sirs,

(1) PLACING OF NEW SHARES UNDER A SPECIFIC MANDATE; (2) RIGHTS ISSUE ON THE BASIS OF TWO (2) RIGHTS SHARES FOR EVERY ONE (1) SHARE IN ISSUE HELD ON THE RECORD DATE; (3) CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE AND

(4) NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the Announcement. The Board proposed to put forward to the Shareholders:

  • (a) the Placing of up to 586,350,000 Placing Shares at the Placing Price of HK$0.3411 per Placing Share by the Placing Agents to raise approximately HK$200.00 million before expenses; and

  • for identification purpose only

– 13 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (b) the Rights Issue on the basis of two (2) Rights Shares for every one (1) Share held on the Record Date at the Subscription Price of HK$0.202 per Rights Share to raise not less than approximately HK$120.55 million before expenses (assuming no further issue of new Shares or repurchase of Shares on or before the Record Date) by issuing not less than 596,760,614 Rights Shares.

The Placing and the Rights Issue are not inter-conditional upon each other.

The Rights Issue and the Placing will cause adjustments to the exercise price of the Unlisted Warrants and if the Unlisted Warrants are exercised in full at the adjusted price, the number of Shares falling to be issued will exceed the number of Shares permitted to be issued under the general mandate pursuant to which the Unlisted Warrants were created. Accordingly, the Directors will seek the grant of the Warrant Issue Mandate from the Shareholders.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with further details of, among other things, (i) the Placing, the Rights Issue and the grant of the Warrant Issue Mandate; (ii) a letter of recommendation from the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Placing and the Rights Issue; (iii) a letter of advice from the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Placing and the Rights Issue; and (iv) the notice of the SGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Placees

The Placing Shares will be placed to the Placees who will be independent individual, corporate and/or institutional investors, and who and (where applicable) whose ultimate beneficial owners are Independent Third Parties. It is a term of the Placing Agreement that upon completion of the Placing, none of the Placees will become a substantial shareholder of the Company.

Placing Shares

The maximum number of the Placing Shares of 586,350,000 represents (i) approximately 196.51% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date; (ii) approximately 66.27% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Placing Shares (assuming that there is no other change in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of allotment and issue of the Placing Shares); and (iii) approximately 39.58% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Placing Shares and Rights Shares (assuming that there is no other change in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date(s) of allotment and issue of the Placing Shares and the Rights Shares). The aggregate nominal value of such number of the Placing Shares amounts to HK$5,863,500.

Assuming the maximum number of the Placing Shares is placed, the gross proceeds from the Placing will amount to approximately HK$200.0 million and the net proceeds of the Placing, after deduction of the Placing commission and other related expenses of approximately HK$7.5 million, will be approximately HK$192.5 million. On such basis, the net issue price for each Placing Share will be approximately HK$0.3283.

Placing Price

The Placing Price of HK$0.3411 represents:

  • (i) a discount of approximately 57.36% to the closing price of HK$0.8 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 26 May 2015, being the date of the Placing Agreement and the Last Trading Day;

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 15.00% to the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK$0.4013 per Share based on the closing price of HK$0.8 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day (taking into account the Rights Issue as described in this circular);

– 15 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (iii) a discount of approximately 54.03% to the average of the closing price per Share of HK$0.742 as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Last Trading Day;

  • (iv) a discount of approximately 57.36% to the closing price of HK$0.8 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date; and

  • (v) a discount of approximately 71.17% to the net asset value of approximately HK$1.183 per Share of the Company, based on the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Group of approximately HK$352,956,000 as at 31 December 2014 and 298,380,307 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The Placing Price of HK$0.3411 was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Placing Agents with reference to the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK$0.4013 with a discount of approximately 15.00%, which is based on the Subscription Price and the closing price of the Shares on the Last Trading Day, i.e. HK$0.8. The Board has reviewed all the placing proposals announced by other companies listed on the Stock Exchange for the period of two calendar months immediately prior to the Last Trading Day, and identified an exhaustive list of thirteen placings which are subject to the grant of specific mandate by shareholders (the ‘‘Placing Comparable(s)’’). The placing price of all of the Placing Comparables are set at discounts to market price of the relevant shares, ranging from a discount of approximately 2.09% to approximately 57.3%, with an average discount of approximately 24.08%. As according to the terms of the Placing Agreement, completion of Placing is scheduled to take place after the Record Date for determining the entitlement to the Rights Issue (by when the market price of the Shares will have been adjusted taking into account of the Rights Issue), the Company considers that it is more reasonable to use the theoretical ex-rights price of the Shares, i.e. HK$0.4013 as the basis to determine the Placing Price. Also, given that the Placing Price represents approximately 15.00% discount to the aforesaid theoretical ex-rights price of the Shares which is within the range and below the average discount to the prevailing market price of the Placing Comparables as stated above, the Company is of the view that the Placing Price is fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Shareholders.

Placing commission

Pursuant to the Placing Agreement, the Company shall pay to each of the Placing Agents a commission of 3.5% of the aggregate Placing Price of the Placing Shares actually placed by such Placing Agent on behalf of the Company, provided that in any event, such commission to be paid by the Company to China Everbright Securities shall not be less than HK$200,000.

– 16 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Such commission was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Placing Agents under normal commercial terms and with reference to the prevailing market conditions. The Directors consider that the commission is fair and reasonable, in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Ranking of Placing Shares

The Placing Shares, when issued and fully paid, will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares in issue on the date of allotment and issue of the Placing Shares.

Conditions of the Placing

Completion of the Placing is conditional upon the fulfilment of the following conditions:

  • (a) the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Placing Shares; and

  • (b) the Specific Mandate being obtained at the SGM.

Each of the Company and the Placing Agents shall use their respective best endeavours to procure the satisfaction of the above conditions by 5:00 p.m. on the date falling 30 days after the date of the SGM (‘‘Long Stop Date’’). If the above conditions are not satisfied by the Long Stop Date, all obligations of the Placing Agents and of the Company shall cease and terminate and none of the parties to the Placing Agreement shall have any claim against the other in relation to the Placing Agreement (save for any antecedent breach of any obligation thereunder).

Completion of the Placing

Completion of the Placing will take place on the later of (i) the third Business Day after the fulfilment of the conditions of the Placing (or such other date as agreed by the parties to the Placing Agreement in writing) or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the Record Date.

Mandate to issue the Placing Shares

The Placing Shares proposed to be issued under the Placing Agreement will be allotted and issued under the Specific Mandate to be obtained at the SGM.

– 22 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In order to be registered as members of the Company prior to the close of business on the Record Date, investors must lodge any transfers of Shares (together with the relevant share certificates) for registration with Tricor Abacus Limited of Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, no later than 4:30 p.m. on Friday, 17 July 2015.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board had not received any information from any Shareholders of their intention to take up the Rights Shares under the Rights Issue save that Globalcrest and Ever Robust have delivered the Shareholders’ Undertaking to the Company and the Underwriter and pursuant to such undertakings, each of the Globalcrest and Ever Robust has irrevocably undertaken to the Company and the Underwriter to accept and pay for the Committed Shares (being all of its provisional allotment under the Rights Issue based on its shareholding in the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date).

In this regard, the Company will make enquiries as to whether the issue of Rights Shares to such Overseas Shareholders and other Overseas Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company on the Record Date may contravene the applicable securities legislation of the PRC or other relevant overseas places or the requirements of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange and details and results of such enquiries will be included in the Prospectus to be despatched to the Shareholders in connection with, amongst other matters, the Rights Issue. If, after making such enquiries, the Board is of the opinion that it would be necessary or expedient, on account either of the legal restrictions under the laws of PRC and/or the relevant place or any requirement of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange in that place, not to offer the Rights Shares to such Non-Qualifying Shareholders, the Rights Issue will not be extended to such Non-Qualifying Shareholders. The result of the enquiries and the basis of the exclusion, if any, will be included in the Prospectus.

The Company will send copies of the Prospectus (without the PAL and EAF) to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders for their information only.

– 23 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company shall provisionally allot the Rights Shares which represent the entitlements of the Non-Qualifying Shareholders to a nominee of the Company in nil-paid form and the Company shall procure that such nominee shall endeavour to sell the rights as soon as practicable after dealings in nil-paid Rights Shares commence and in any event on or before the last day of dealings in nil-paid Rights Shares at a net premium (nil-paid). If and to the extent that such rights can be so sold, the nominee of the Company shall account to the Company for the net proceeds of sale (after deducting the expenses of sale, if any), on the basis that the net proceeds after deducting the expenses of sale (if any) attributable to the sale of the Rights Shares that would otherwise have been allotted to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders shall be distributed pro rata to their shareholdings as at the Record Date (but rounded down to the nearest cent) to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders provided that individual amounts of HK$100 or less shall be retained by the Company for its own benefit. Any of such nil-paid rights which are not sold as aforesaid will be dealt with as Rights Shares not taken up.

Subscription Price

The Subscription Price is HK$0.202 per Rights Share, payable in full by Qualifying Shareholders upon acceptance of the relevant provisional allotment of Rights Shares or application for the excess Rights Shares or when a transferee of nil-paid Rights Shares applies for the Rights Shares.

The Subscription Price represents:

  • (i) a discount of 74.75% to the closing price of HK$0.8 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 49.66% to the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK$0.4013 per Share based on the closing price of HK$0.8 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • (iii) a discount of approximately 72.78% to the average closing price of approximately HK$0.742 per Share for the last five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Last Trading Day;

  • (iv) a discount of 74.75% to the closing price of HK$0.8 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date; and

  • (v) a discount of approximately 82.92% to the net asset value of approximately HK$1.183 per Share of the Company, based on the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Group of approximately HK$352,956,000 as at 31 December 2014 and 298,380,307 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

– 24 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Subscription Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Underwriter with reference to the market price of the Shares and the prevailing market conditions. The Board has made reference to the rights issues announced by other companies listed on the Stock Exchange for a period of six calendar months immediately prior to the Last Trading Day, and identified an exhaustive list of twelve rights issues which have subscription ratios above 1-for-2 and are also subject to shareholders’ approval (the ‘‘Rights Issue Comparable(s)’’). The subscription prices of all of the Rights Issue Comparables are set at discounts to market price of the relevant shares, ranging from a discount of approximately 4.11% to approximately 89.13%, with an average discount of approximately 69.60% (in calculating the average discount of the Rights Issue Comparable(s), the Company excludes the one with discount rate of 4.11% as it is an extreme case). As regards the Rights Issue, the discount represented by the Subscription Price to the closing price of the Shares on the Last Trading Day of 74.75% is slightly higher than the average discount of the Rights Issue Comparables but is still within the range of discount. Given that (i) there is a need to increase the attractiveness of the Rights Shares to the Qualifying Shareholders and the Underwriter; and (ii) the proposed discount of the Subscription Price to the prevailing market price is within the range of discount of the Rights Issue Comparables, the Directors consider that the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

Status of the Rights Shares

The Rights Shares when allotted, issued and fully paid, shall rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares in issue on the date of allotment and issue of the Rights Shares, including the right to receive all future dividends and distributions which are declared, made or paid on or after the date of allotment and issue of the Rights Shares.

Share certificates and refund cheques for the Rights Issue

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions of the Rights Issue as set out in the section headed ‘‘Conditions of the Rights Issue’’ below, certificates for all fully-paid Rights Shares are expected to be posted to those entitled thereto by ordinary post at their own risk on or before Friday, 14 August 2015. If the Underwriting Agreement is terminated or not becoming unconditional, refund cheques will be despatched on or before Friday, 14 August 2015 by ordinary post at the respective Shareholders’ own risk.

Application for excess Rights Shares

Qualifying Shareholders are entitled to apply for any unsold provisional allotment of the Non-Qualifying Shareholders and any Rights Shares provisionally allotted but not accepted by the Qualifying Shareholders.

– 25 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Application may be made by Qualifying Shareholders completing the EAF and lodging the same with a separate remittance for the excess Rights Shares being applied for. The Directors will allocate the excess Rights Shares at their discretion on a fair and equitable basis and on a pro-rata basis to the excess Rights Shares applied for by the Qualifying Shareholders, except that preference will be given to applications for less than a board lot of Rights Shares where it appears to the Directors that such applications are made to round up odd-lot holdings to whole-lot holdings and that such applications are not made with intention to abuse the mechanism.

Shareholders with Shares held by a nominee (or which are held in CCASS) should note that the Board will consider the nominee (including HKSCC Nominees Limited) as one single Shareholder according to the register of members of the Company. Accordingly, such Shareholders should note that the aforesaid arrangement in relation to the allocation of the excess Rights Shares will not be extended to the relevant beneficial owners individually.

For Shareholders whose Shares are held by their nominee(s) (including HKSCC Nominees Limited) and who would like to have their names registered on the register of members of the Company, they must lodge all necessary documents with the Registrar, being Tricor Abacus Limited, for completion of the relevant registration not later than 4:00 p.m. on Friday, 7 August 2015.

Application for the Rights Shares

The Application Forms relating to the Rights Shares will be enclosed with the Prospectus entitling the Qualifying Shareholders to whom they are addressed to subscribe for the Rights Shares as shown therein by completing such form(s) and lodging the same with separate remittance for the Rights Shares being applied for with the Registrar by the Latest Time for Acceptance.

Application for listing

The Company will apply to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares (in both nil-paid and fully-paid forms). Dealings in the Rights Shares on the Stock Exchange will be subject to the payment of stamp duty (if any) in Hong Kong and any other applicable fees and charges in Hong Kong.

No part of the securities of the Company is listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange and no such listing or permission to deal is proposed to be sought.

– 26 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Rights Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the Rights Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second settlement day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time. Dealings in the Rights Shares on the Stock Exchange may be settled through CCASS.

Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up the Rights Shares to which they are provisionally allotted should note that their shareholdings in the Company will be diluted.

Closure of register of members

For the purpose of determining the entitlement to attend and vote at the SGM, the register of members of the Company will be closed from Thursday, 9 July 2015 to Monday, 13 July 2015, both dates inclusive, and no transfer of Shares will be registered during such period.

The register of members of the Company will also be closed from Monday, 20 July 2015 to Thursday, 23 July 2015, both dates inclusive, to determine the eligibility of the Rights Issue. No transfer of Shares will be registered during such period.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

On 19 June 2015, the Underwriter entered into four sub-underwriting arrangements with two companies and two individuals in respect of a sub-underwriting of an aggregate of 294,000,000 Underwritten Shares (with one sub-underwriter agreeing to take up 147,000,000 Underwritten Shares, representing approximately 14.73% of the issued share capital of the Company upon allotment and issue of the Rights Shares assuming all Unlisted Warrants are exercised in full and all Warrants Shares are issued on or prior to the Record Date; and each of the other three sub-underwriters agreeing to take up 49,000,000 Underwritten Shares each, representing approximately 4.91% of the issued share capital of the Company upon allotment and issue of the Rights Shares assuming all Unlisted Warrants are exercised in full and all Warrants Shares are issued on or prior to the Record Date).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE PLACING AND RIGHTS ISSUE AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Group is principally engaged in distribution of films in various videogram formats, film exhibition, licensing and sub-licensing of film rights, leasing of investment properties, securities investment and money lending.

The Board has noted that the revenue of the Group has fluctuated in the past five financial years from a maximum of approximately HK$205.2 million for the year ended 30 June 2014 to a minimum of approximately HK$75.9 million for the year ended 30 June 2012. The business segment of the film exhibition, licensing and sub-licensing of film rights accounted for a major portion of the total revenue of the Group, which represented approximately 85.0% of the total revenue for the financial year ended 30 June 2014. However, films are produced on a project basis and the revenue generated thereunder are not stable, thus causing the fluctuation of the revenue and also the profitability of the Group. In view of the above, it is the goal of the Group to expand its revenue stream and stabilize its revenue through (i) the acquisition of new businesses, which are considered to have a relatively stable income stream, from other parties; and/or (ii) further expansion of the other existing business segments of the Group. As such, the Group is in the process of negotiating with certain potential vendors for possible acquisitions of some new businesses and further investment in some existing businesses. When the management of the Company is in negotiation with the potential sellers of the aforementioned acquisitions, such potential sellers may have concerns as to whether the Group has sufficient internal resources to proceed with the acquisitions and to develop the businesses. To facilitate further negotiations, it is preferable for the Company to conduct fund raising exercise before the formal acquisition agreements of the aforesaid acquisitions are entered into. As such, the Group proposed to conduct the Placing and the Rights Issue.

The net proceeds of the Placing, after deduction of the Placing commission and other related expenses of approximately HK$7.5 million, will be approximately HK$192.5 million. The gross proceeds from the Rights Issue will be not less than approximately HK$120.55 million and not more than approximately HK$134.36 million. The minimum net proceeds from the Rights Issue after deducting all relevant expenses are estimated to be not less than HK$114.8 million.

The Company intends to apply the net proceeds of approximately HK$192.5 million from the Placing as to approximately:

  • (i) HK$20.0 million for the development of its existing business in trading, wholesale and retail of watch and jewellery products, or, if the acquisition of 79.99% of the enlarged share capital of Winston Asia Limited (details of which is set out below) is not approved by the Shareholders or does not proceed, for the money lending business of the Group;

– 37 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (ii) not less than HK$60.0 million for the possible acquisition of a target company principally engaged in film and advertising production, provision of public relations services, holding and sponsoring stage performance, concerts and other cultural events in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) as contemplated under a non-legally binding memorandum of understanding entered into between the Group and a potential vendor as announced in the Company’s announcement dated 13 March 2015 (the ‘‘Potential Acquisition A’’). If the Potential Acquisition A does not proceed, the Company will seek for other investment opportunities in the same industry and, if such opportunities arise, apply the proceeds for such use;

  • (iii) not less than HK$60.0 million for the possible acquisition of a group of companies principally engaged in the production of frames for eyeglasses and other optical products, as contemplated under a non-legally binding memorandum of understanding entered into between the Group and the potential vendor as announced in the Company’s announcement dated 20 April 2015 (the ‘‘Potential Acquisition B’’). If the Potential Acquisition B does not proceed, the Company will seek for other investment opportunities in the same industry and, if such opportunities arise, apply the proceeds for such use;

  • (iv) not more than HK$35.0 million for the development of money lending business; and

  • (v) approximately HK$17.5 million for the working capital of the Group.

The Company intends to apply the minimum net proceeds of approximately HK$114.8 million from the Rights Issue as to approximately:

  • (i) not more than HK$50.0 million for the development of money lending business;

  • (ii) not more than HK$43.4 million for the existing business of holding and sponsoring stage performance, concerts and other cultural events as well as the entertainment business in Hong Kong and PRC. Such business operations will be conducted through Round Table Performance Entertainment Limited, a 70% owned subsidiary of the Company, and/or by other members of the Group; and

  • (iii) not less than HK$21.4 million for the working capital of the Group.

Furthermore, the proposed usage of the amount totalling not less than HK$38.9 million for general working capital is as follows:

  • (i) approximately HK$1.5 million for auditor remuneration;

  • (ii) approximately HK$7.55 million for legal and other professional fee;

– 38 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (iii) approximately HK$23.0 million for salaries, staff welfare and other related expenses;

  • (iv) approximately HK$3.5 million for rental and management fee; and

  • (v) approximately HK$3.35 million for printing and stationery, travelling, utilities and other expenses.

If the Company proceeds only with either the Rights Issue or the Placing, the use of proceeds from such fund raising exercise will remain the same as disclosed above and no reallocation is expected to occur.

If the Company intends to change any of its use of proceeds, further announcement will be published by the Company. If the change in use of proceeds from the Placing is considered to be material, the Company will seek approval of the Shareholders regarding such change. If the change in use of proceeds from the Rights Issue is considered to be material, the Company will seek approval of the Independent Shareholders regarding such change.

The Company will have sufficient working capital in the next 12 months and the Company currently has no further fund raising plans for its general working capital.

The Company assesses the risks, returns and prospects of the aforementioned businesses as follows:

(a) Trading, wholesale and retail of watch and jewellery products

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 7 May 2015, Fragrant River Entertainment Culture (Holdings) Limited (‘‘Fragrant River’’), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a sale and purchase agreement with the vendors to acquire 79.99% of the enlarged share capital of Winston Asia Limited (together with its subsidiaries, ‘‘Winston Group’’). Winston Group is principally engaged in business activities including the trading of watches, trademark holding, wholesale and retail of watches and jewellery in Hong Kong and PRC. According to the audited consolidated financial statements of Winston Asia Limited for the year ended 31 December 2014, Winston Asia Limited recorded a revenue of approximately HK$49.7 million for the year of 2014. Winston Group currently has over thirty retail shops in the PRC and two in Hong Kong. In view of the growth of retail sales of jewellery and watches in recent years, the management of Winston Group intends to expand the jewellery business and the Company intended to apply approximately HK$20 million for the purchase of jewellery as inventory for the development of the trading, wholesale and retail of jewellery products which may have a synergetic effect with the current trading, wholesale and retail of watches.

– 39 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company is of the view that the risks of the trading, wholesale and retail of watch and jewellery products business in Hong Kong and the PRC are hinged upon the performance of the retail market of watch products in Hong Kong and the PRC.

According to the Reports on Monthly Survey of Retail Sales (the ‘‘Retail Reports’’) released by the Census and Statistics Department of Hong Kong on 2 February 2012 and 2 February 2015, the dollar value of retail sales of jewellery, watches and clocks, and valuable gifts has increased from approximately HK$89.4 billion in 2011 to approximately HK$102.1 billion in 2014, representing a cumulative annual growth rate (‘‘CAGR’’) of approximately 4.5%. This reflects a general growth trend in the retail sales of those luxury products. Also, according to the statistics released by the National Bureau of Statistics of the PRC, (i) the gross domestic product of the PRC has raised from approximately RMB47,957 billion in 2011 to approximately RMB63,646 billion in 2014, which gives rise to a CAGR of approximately 9.89%; and (ii) the total retail sales of consumer goods has been increased from approximately RMB18,122.6 billion in 2011 to approximately RMB26,239.4 billion in 2014, which gives rise a CAGR of approximately 13.13%. This reflects the growth in income of consumers in the PRC and demonstrates that the retail market in the PRC is following an upsurge trend. Based on the aforesaid statistics, the management of the Company is of the view that the outlook of the retail market in the PRC and Hong Kong is positive.

It is the intention of the Group to retain the existing management team of Winston Group to oversee the operation and management of Winston Group after the acquisition. In addition, as announced by the Company in its announcement dated 7 May 2015, the consideration for the acquisition of Winston Group is subject to downward adjustment depending on the performance of Winston Group for the year ending 31 December 2015. As such, the Directors consider that the risk and return of this new business is further protected in this regard.

(b) Film and advertising production, provision of public relations services, holding and sponsoring stage performance, concerts and cultural events

The Company announced the Potential Acquisition A in its announcement dated 13 March 2015. As disclosed in such announcement, the target company (together with its subsidiaries, ‘‘Target Group’’), upon completion of a restructuring, will be principally engaged in film and advertising production, provision of public relations services, holding and sponsoring stage performance, concerts and other cultural events. If such acquisition is materialized, it will enable the Group to complement its existing film production business to similar advertising production business, as well as provision of public relations services in relation to, among others, promotion of films through various events. The Board considers that it would enable the Company to strengthen its current film production ability and cost control and its market position in the film industry, and such close alliance between the Group and the Target Group may have synergetic effect. According to the preliminary negotiation with the potential seller of the Target Group, the Board estimates that the consideration for such acquisition shall not be less than HK$60 million (subject to further negotiation and agreement).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company is of the view that the business of the film, advertising and public relation services is subject to economic and financial fluctuations, which results in changes of discretionary spending by consumers in relation to the box office of the film.

(c) Frames for eyeglasses and other optical products

According to the Company’s announcement dated 7 May 2015, the Company entered into the business of retail sale of optical products in Hong Kong through its investment in the chain shop with established and renowned brand name ‘‘茂昌眼鏡 Hong Kong Optical’’. The Board considers that such acquisition would enable the Group to take advantage of the growth in retail of optical products and diversify the revenue sources of the Group.

In addition, the Company also announced the Potential Acquisition B in its announcement dated 20 April 2015, which relates to the potential acquisition of certain interest in a group of companies which are principally engaged in the production of frames for eyeglasses and other optical products. The management of the Company is of the view that if such potential acquisition is materialized, there will be a synergetic effect on the aforesaid wholesale and retail of optical product businesses as the Group can source the optical products from the aforesaid optical products manufacturer and maintains a stable supplier for its retails network in Hong Kong. According to the preliminary negotiation with the potential seller, the Board estimates that the consideration of the Potential Acquisition B would be not less than HK$60 million (subject to further negotiation and agreement).

The management of the Company is of the view that the performance of the business of production of frames for eyeglasses and other optical products is subject to (i) fluctuations in prices, or any unavailability, of the raw materials that are used in the products which may materially and adversely affect the business, results of operations or financial condition; and (ii) decreases in discretionary spending by retail customers of eyeglasses and optical products.

According to the Retail Reports, the dollar value of retail sales by optical shops has increased continuously from approximately HK$2,470 million in 2011 to approximately HK$3,421 million in 2014, representing a CAGR of approximately 11.5%. This reflects a robust growth of the retail sales of optical products in recent years. As such, the management of the Company is of the view that the outlook of the eyeglass and other optical products industry in Hong Kong is positive.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(d) Loan facilities to a non-wholly-owned subsidiary

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 6 November 2014, a joint venture agreement was entered into between Gold Summit International Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Round Table Family Group Limited in relation to the formation of a joint venture company, namely Round Table Performance Entertainment Limited (‘‘Round Table’’) (where the Group held 70% equity interest). Pursuant to the aforesaid joint venture agreement, the Group may in its absolute discretion deem fit, provide a loan of up to an aggregate amount of HK$46,670,000 to Round Table. Round Table is principally engaged in holding and sponsoring stage performance, concerts and other cultural events, as well as developing the entertainment business in Hong Kong and the PRC. The Company intends to apply not more than HK$43.4 million in order to further develop the existing business of holding and sponsoring stage performance, concerts and other cultural events as well as the entertainment business in Hong Kong and PRC. Such business operations will be conducted through Round Table and/or by other members of the Group.

(e) Money lending business

As stated in the interim report of the Group for the six-month ended 31 December 2014, the unaudited loans receivable from customers amounts to approximately HK$68.9 million bearing interest rates ranging from 9% to 12% per annum as at 31 December 2014. The Group seeks to maintain tight control over its loans receivable in order to minimise credit risk by reviewing the borrowers’ or guarantors’ financial positions, and accordingly, no loans receivable were impaired or overdue as at 31 December 2014. In view of (i) the stable interest income generated from the money lending business; and (ii) the growing demand for loan facilities by the existing customers, the Company intends to apply an aggregate of HK$85 million for further development of the money lending business.

The risks involved in the money lending business include (i) insufficient funds to finance the operations or expansion plans; (ii) inadequate collateral or guarantees securing the loan to cover the loan receivables; and (iii) inability to effectively manage default risk of the loans and/or failure to maintain a low impaired loan ratio, which may have a material adverse impact on the business, results of operations and financial condition.

For the businesses (b), (d) and (e) as referred to above, they are existing businesses of the Group, and the Company has acquired competent management experience in such businesses. For the businesses (a) and (c) as referred to above, the Company shall retain the senior management and employees for such new businesses upon completion of the relevant acquisitions.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board also considers that the Placing and the Rights Issue represents a good opportunity to broaden the shareholders’ base and the capital base of the Company. As such, the Directors (other than the independent non-executive Directors whose view will be formed after considering the opinion of the Independent Financial Adviser regarding the Rights Issue) consider that the terms of the Rights Issue are fair and reasonable and the Placing and Rights Issue are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Company proposed to raise fund for the business development of the Group as detailed above. The Board is of the view that if fund raising is conducted solely through a placing of new shares, the existing Shareholders will not have the rights to participate in the capital exercise and their shareholding interest would be diluted without having an equal opportunity to maintain their proportionate interests. Meanwhile, if fund raising is conducted solely through a rights issue and considering the amount of fund to be raised (approximately HK$313.05 million in total before expense), the underwriting commitment and thus underwriting risk would be of a scale not acceptable by potential underwriters. The Board has also considered other alternatives for fund raising options for the Group, such as bank borrowing. However, taking into consideration that (i) bank borrowings or debt financing would result in additional interest burden to the Group; and (ii) the Rights Issue offers all the Shareholders equal opportunity to subscribe for their pro-rata provisional allotment of the Rights Shares and participate in the growth opportunity of the Company, the Board is of the view that the current structure involving a combination of a rights issue and a best-effort placing, which was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Placing Agents (one of which is also the Underwriter), is fair and reasonable and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The management of the Company has also approached three other securities firms but none of them were interested to act as underwriter or placing agent in the Group’s proposed fund raising exercises.

Assuming that (i) no Qualifying Shareholder takes up his provisional allotment under the Rights Issue; (ii) the subscription rights attached to the Unlisted Warrants were exercised in full and Warrant Shares are issued pursuant thereto on or before the Record Date; and (iii) there is no other changes to the issued share capital on or before the Record Date, the shareholdings of the existing Independent Shareholders (excluding Ever Robust who has undertaken to take up its Committed Shares) will be (i) decreased from approximately 83.72% as at the Latest Practicable Date to 28.46% upon completion of the Rights Issue; and (ii) further decreased to 17.93% upon completion of the Placing and Rights Issue. Qualifying Shareholders who do not elect to subscribe for their provisional allotment under the Rights Issue in full will have their shareholding interests in the Company being diluted for a maximum of approximately 66.7% upon completion of the Rights Issue.

– 43 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

However, the Board considers that such scenario of maximum dilution is unlikely to occur since it assumes that (i) the Independent Shareholders have voted in favour of the Rights Issue at the SGM; but (ii) no Independent Shareholder other than Ever Robust would take up their provisional allotment under the Rights Issue, which is a complete misalignment between the voting behaviour of the Independent Shareholders and their subscription for the Rights Shares.

Having considered: (i) the Rights Issue would provide the fund for the Group to pursue its business development plan; (ii) the Rights Issue would strengthen the capital base of the Group; (iii) the Rights Issue is on the basis that all Qualifying Shareholders have been offered the same opportunity to maintain their proportional interests in the Company and allows the Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the growth of the Company; (iv) the inherent dilutive nature of Rights Issue in general if the existing Shareholder did not take up his/her/its provisional allotment under the Rights Issue; and (v) the discount of the Subscription Price was necessary to encourage the Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue, the Board considers the possible dilution effect on the Independent Shareholders to be acceptable.

(3) CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE AND ODD LOT MATCHING

The board lot size for trading in the Shares of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company on the Stock Exchange will be changed from 5,000 Shares to 15,000 Shares with effect from 9:00 a.m. on Friday, 24 July 2015.

The Shares are currently traded in board lots of 5,000 Shares each and the market value of each board lot was HK$4,000 (based on the closing price of HK$0.8 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day). In order to increase the value of each board lot of the Shares so that the value of each board lot of the Shares will not be less than HK$2,000, as well as to reduce transaction and registration costs incurred by the Shareholders and investors of the Company, the Board proposes to change the board lot size for trading of the Shares from 5,000 to 15,000 with effect from 9:00 a.m. on Friday, 24 July 2015. Upon the change in board lot size becoming effective, the Shares will be traded in board lot of 15,000 Shares and the estimated market value per board lot of the Shares will be HK$12,000 (based on the closing price of HK$0.8 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day).

Based on the theoretical ex-rights price of HK$0.4013 per Share, the value of each board lot of 15,000 Shares would be HK$6,019.5. The Rights Shares will be traded in the board lot of 15,000 Shares.

Based on the closing price of HK$0.8 per Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date, the market value of each existing board lot is HK$4,000 and the estimated market value of each proposed new board lot is HK$12,000.

– 44 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The change in board lot size will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders. The Directors consider that the change in board lot size is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

To alleviate the difficulties in trading odd lots of the Shares arising from the change in board lot size of the Shares, the Company has appointed Jun Yang Securities as an agent to provide matching services to the Shareholders who wish to top up or sell their holdings of odd lots of the Shares during the period from 9:00 a.m. on Friday, 24 July 2015 to 4:00 p.m. on Friday, 14 August 2015 (both dates inclusive). Holders of the Shares in odd lots represented by the existing share certificates for the Shares who wish to take advantage of this facility either to dispose of their odd lots of the Shares or to top up their odd lots to a full new board lot may directly or through their broker contact Mr. Kwok Ka Yiu of Jun Yang Securities at Unit 2103, 21/F, Tower 1, Lippo Centre, 89 Queensway, Admiralty Hong Kong (telephone: (852) 2530 4088 and facsimile: (852) 2530 4054) during such period. Holders of the Shares in odd lots should note that successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Shares is not guaranteed. The Shareholders are recommended to consult their professional advisers if they are in doubt about the above facility.

(4) ADJUSTMENTS IN RELATION TO THE OUTSTANDING OPTIONS, UNLISTED WARRANTS AND CONSIDERATION CONVERTIBLE NOTES

Adjustment to Outstanding Options

Adjustments to the number of Shares falling to be issued upon the exercise of the subscription rights attached to the Outstanding Options and the related exercise price are required under the relevant rules of the share option scheme of the Company, the provision of Rule 17.03(13) of the Listing Rules and the supplementary guidance set out by the Stock Exchange on 5 September 2005 upon the issue of the Rights Shares.

For illustration purpose only, based on the closing price of HK$0.8 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day, taking into account the adjustment effects of the Placing and the Rights Issue, (i) the exercise price of the Outstanding Options granted on 27 June 2012 will be adjusted from HK$0.67 per Option Share to HK$0.3361 per Option Share; and (ii) the exercise price of the Outstanding Options granted on 21 July 2014 will be adjusted from HK$1.738 per Option Share to HK$0.8719 per Option Share. The total number of Option Shares fall to be allotted and issued after the adjustment of subscription price will be 37,618,944 Shares, representing (i) approximately 5.02% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Rights Shares; and (ii) approximately 2.54% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Placing Shares and the Rights Shares.

– 45 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The actual adjustment will be calculated based on the closing price per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the last day of dealing in Shares on a cum-rights basis. Such adjustment will become effective on the commencement of the day next following the Record Date.

The Placing is not an adjustment event to the number of Shares falling to be issued upon the exercise of the subscription rights attached to the Outstanding Options and the related exercise price.

Adjustment to Unlisted Warrants

Adjustments to the subscription price per Warrant Share under the Unlisted Warrants are also required under terms and conditions of the Unlisted Warrants as a result of each of the Placing and the Rights Issue.

As regards the Rights Issue, based on the closing price of HK$0.8 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day, the adjusted subscription price of the Unlisted Warrants will be adjusted from HK$2.5 per Warrant Share to HK$1.2542 per Warrant Share (subject to further adjustment in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Unlisted Warrants). On the basis of the adjusted exercise price of HK$1.2542 per Warrant Share, the number of Warrant Shares fall to be allotted and issued after the adjustment of subscription price will be 68,170,945 Shares, representing (i) approximately 7.62% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Rights Shares; and (ii) approximately 4.60% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Placing Shares and the Rights Shares, and will remain below 20% of the Company’s issued share capital upon at all time and comply with requirements under Rule 15.02 of the Listing Rules.

Such adjustment will become effective on the commencement of the day next following the Record Date.

As regards the Placing, based on the closing price of HK$0.8 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day, the adjusted subscription price of the Unlisted Warrants will be adjusted from HK$2.5 per Warrant Share to HK$1.5496 per Warrant Share (subject to further adjustment in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Unlisted Warrants). On the basis of the adjusted exercise price of HK$1.5496 per Warrant Share, the number of Warrant Shares fall to be allotted and issued after the adjustment of subscription price will be 55,175,529 Shares, representing (i) approximately 6.24% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Placing Shares; and (ii) approximately 3.72% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Placing Shares and the Rights Shares, and will remain below 20% of the Company’s issued share capital upon at all time and comply with requirements under Rule 15.02 of the Listing Rules.

– 46 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Such adjustment will become effective from the close of business in Hong Kong on the business day immediately preceding the date on which the issue of the Placing Shares is announced.

However, according to the terms and conditions of the Unlisted Warrants, given that the Placing and the Rights Issue are announced on the same day, the adjusted exercise price of the Unlisted Warrants shall only be subject to adjustment as caused by the effect of the Rights Issue.

As the number of Warrant Shares that would fall to be issued upon the exercise of the subscription rights attached to the Unlisted Warrants in full after the adjustment as described above would exceed the number of Shares authorized to be allotted and issued under the general mandate obtained by the Directors on 29 November 2012 pursuant to which the Unlisted Warrants were created and issued, the Board will also propose to seek the Warrant Issue Mandate from the Shareholders at the SGM.

Consideration Convertible Notes

Pursuant to the proposed acquisition of further equity interests in Winston Asia Limited as announced by the Company in its announcement dated 7 May 2015, the consideration for such acquisition will be satisfied by the Company issuing the Consideration Convertible Notes, which are convertible into Shares at an initial conversion price of HK$0.75 per conversion share. Notwithstanding completion of such acquisition had not yet taken place and the Consideration Convertible Notes have not yet been issued, it is a term in the sale and purchase agreement relating to such acquisition that the said initial conversion price of HK$0.75 per conversion share shall be subject to adjustment if any adjustment event takes place between the date of the relevant sale and purchase agreement and the completion date of the acquisition. As each of the Placing and the Rights Issue is an adjustment event to the initial conversion price of HK$0.75 per conversion share, the conversion price will be adjusted before the final issue of the Consideration Convertible Notes.

As regards the Rights Issue, based on the average closing price of HK$0.732 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the fifteen consecutive dealing days immediately preceding the date of the Announcement, the adjusted conversion price per conversion share will be adjusted from HK$0.75 to HK$0.3880 (subject to further adjustment in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Consideration Convertible Notes). On the basis of the adjusted initial conversion price of HK$0.3880 per conversion share, the number of conversion shares falling to be issued under the Consideration Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of HK$64,000,000 will be 164,948,453 Shares.

Such adjustment will become effective on the date of allotment and issue of the Rights Shares.

– 47 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As regards the Placing, based on the average closing price of HK$0.732 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the fifteen consecutive dealing days immediately preceding the date of the Announcement, the adjusted conversion price per conversion share will be adjusted from HK$0.75 to HK$0.4846 (subject to further adjustment in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Consideration Convertible Notes). On the basis of the adjusted initial conversion price of HK$0.4846 per conversion share, the number of conversion shares falling to be issued under the Consideration Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of HK$64,000,000 will be 132,067,684 Shares.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue of the Placing Shares.

According to the terms of the Consideration Convertible Notes, where more than one event gives or may give rise to an adjustment to the conversion price occurs within such a short period of time that the independent financial adviser considers in good faith that the operation of the adjustment provisions contained in the Consideration Convertible Notes would need to be subject to some modification in order to give the intended commercial result, such modification shall be made to the operation of the adjustment provisions as may be advised by the independent financial adviser to be in its opinion appropriate in order to give such intended result.

According to the opinion of the Independent Financial Adviser, where the Placing and the Rights Issue proceed together, the initial conversion price of the Consideration Convertible Notes shall only be subject to adjustment as caused by the effect of the Rights Issue.

General

The Company has engaged the Independent Financial Adviser to certify the above adjustments to (i) the number of underlying Shares of the Outstanding Options and the exercise price of the Outstanding Options; (ii) the exercise price of the Unlisted Warrants; and (iii) the conversion price of the Consideration Convertible Notes. The Company will also notify the Option Holders, the Unlisted Warrant Holders and the vendors to the proposed acquisition of further equity interests in Winston Asia Limited of such adjustments.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

The Placing Shares will be allotted and issued pursuant to the Specific Mandate to be sought at the SGM. For the purpose of better corporate governance, the Independent Board Committee will also express its view regarding the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Placing in this circular after taking into account the opinion of the Independent Financial Adviser.

The gross proceeds from the Placing amount to approximately HK$200.0 million and the net proceeds of the Placing, after deduction of the Placing commission and other related expenses of approximately HK$7.5 million, will be approximately HK$192.5 million. The Placing Shares will be allotted and issued pursuant to the Specific Mandate to be sought at the SGM.

The Company proposed to raise not less than approximately HK$120.6 million and not more than approximately HK$134.4 million before expenses by way of issue of not less than 596,760,614 and not more than 665,160,614 Rights Shares pursuant to the Rights Issue on the basis of two Rights Shares for every one Share in issue on the Record Date at the Subscription Price of HK$0.202 per Rights Share.

As at the date of the Underwriting Agreement, Globalcrest and Ever Robust are interested in 18,913,170 and 17,000,000 Shares respectively, representing approximately 6.34% and 5.70% of the total issued share capital of the Company.

As at the date of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company had Outstanding Options which entitled the holders thereof to subscribe for up to 16,800,170 Shares. Each Option Holder has irrevocably undertaken to the Company and the Underwriter not to exercise the Outstanding Options held by him/her from the date of the Underwriting Agreement to the close of business on the Record Date.

The Group recorded a net loss of approximately HK$24.3 million for FY2014, representing an increase of 420.1% over FY2013.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Group recorded a net loss of approximately HK$30.4 million for Six Months 2014 against a net profit of approximately HK$5.9 million for Six Months 2013, which is mainly due to the recognition of the fair value loss arising from the investment securities and the recognition of the share based payment expenses of approximately HK$19.0 million and approximately HK$9.4 million, respectively during Six Months 2014.

The Group had net assets of approximately HK$353.0 million as at 31 December 2014 of which HK$50.9 million was cash and cash equivalents

2. Reasons for the Placing and Rights Issue and use of proceeds

The estimated net proceeds of the Placing, after deduction of the Placing commission and other related expenses of approximately HK$7.5 million, will be approximately HK$192.5 million. The estimated gross proceeds of the Rights Issue will be not less than approximately HK$120.55 million and not more than approximately HK$134.36 million. The estimated net proceeds from the Rights Issue will be not less than approximately HK$114.8 million. The Company intends to apply the combined net proceeds of approximately HK$307.3 million from the Placing and the Rights issue in the following manner:

  • (i) HK$20.0 million for the development of its existing business in trading, wholesale and retail of watch and jewellery products, or, if the acquisition of 79.99% of the enlarged share capital of Winston Asia Limited (details of which is set out below) is not approved by the Shareholders or does not proceed, for the money lending business of the Group;

  • (ii) not less than HK$60.0 million for the possible acquisition of a target company principally engaged in film and advertising production, provision of public relations services, holding and sponsoring stage performance, concerts and other cultural events in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the PRC as contemplated under a nonlegally binding memorandum of understanding entered into between the Group and a potential vendor as announced in the Company’s announcement dated 13 March 2015 (the ‘‘Potential Acquisition A’’). If the Potential Acquisition A does not proceed, the Company will seek for other investment opportunities in the same industry and, if such opportunities arise, apply the proceeds for such use;

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  • (iii) not less than HK$60.0 million for the possible acquisition of a group of companies principally engaged in the production of frames for eyeglasses and other optical products, as contemplated under a non-legally binding memorandum of understanding entered into between the Group and the potential vendor as announced in the Company’s announcement dated 20 April 2015 (the ‘‘Potential Acquisition B’’). If the Potential Acquisition B does not proceed, the Company will seek for other investment opportunities in the same industry and, if such opportunities arise, apply the proceeds for such use;

  • (iv) not more than HK$85.0 million for the development of money lending business;

  • (v) not more than HK$43.4 million for the existing business of holding and sponsoring stage performance, concerts and other cultural events as well as the entertainment business in Hong Kong and PRC. Such business operations will be conducted through Round Table Performance Entertainment Limited, a 70% owned subsidiary of the Company, and/or by other members of the Group; and

  • (vi) approximately HK$38.9 million for the working capital of the Group.

With reference to our discussion with the management of the Company and information obtained in respect of the use of proceeds, we have taken into consideration of the following:

(a) Trading, wholesale and retail of watch and jewellery products

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 7 May 2015, Fragrant River Entertainment Culture (Holdings) Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a sale and purchase agreement with the vendors to acquire 79.99% of the enlarged share capital of Winston Asia Limited (together with its subsidiaries, ‘‘Winston Group’’). Winston Group is principally engaged in business activities including the trading of watches, trademark holding, wholesale and retail of watches and jewellery in Hong Kong and PRC. According to the audited consolidated financial statements of Winston Asia Limited for the year ended 31 December 2014, Winston Asia Limited recorded revenue of approximately HK$49.7 million for the year of 2014. Winston Group currently has over thirty retail shops in the PRC and two in Hong Kong. In view of the growth of retail sales of jewellery and watches in recent years, the management of Winston Group intends to expand the jewellery business and the Company intended to apply approximately HK$20 million for the purchase of jewellery as inventory for the development of the trading, wholesale and retail of jewellery products which may have a synergetic effect with the current trading, wholesale and retail of watches.

– 59 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Company is of the view that the risks of the trading, wholesale and retail of watch and jewellery products business in Hong Kong and the PRC are hinged upon the performance of the retail market of watch products in Hong Kong and the PRC.

According to the Reports on Monthly Survey of Retail Sales (the ‘‘Retail Reports’’) released by the Census and Statistics Department of Hong Kong on 2 February 2012 and 2 February 2015 respectively, the dollar value of retail sales of jewellery, watches and clocks, and valuable gifts has increased from approximately HK$89.4 billion in 2011 to approximately HK$102.1 billion in 2014, representing a cumulative annual growth rate (‘‘CAGR’’) of approximately 4.5%. This reflects a general growth trend in the retail sales of those luxury products. According to the statistics released by the National Bureau of Statistics of the PRC, (i) the gross domestic product of the PRC has raised from approximately RMB47,957 billion in 2011 to approximately RMB63,646 billion in 2014, which gives rise to a CAGR of approximately 9.89%; and (ii) the total retail sales of consumer goods has been increased from approximately RMB18,122.6 billion in 2011 to approximately RMB26,239.4 billion in 2014, which gives rise a CAGR of approximately 13.13%. This reflects the growth in income of consumers in the PRC and demonstrates that the retail market in the PRC is following an upsurge trend. Based on the aforesaid statistics, the management of the Company is of the view that the outlook of the retail market in the PRC and Hong Kong is positive.

It is the intention of the Group to retain the existing management team of Winston Group to oversee the operation and management of Winston Group after the acquisition. In addition, as announced by the Company in its announcement dated 7 May 2015, the consideration for the acquisition of Winston Group is subject to downward adjustment depending on the performance of Winston Group for the year ending 31 December 2015. As such, the Directors consider that the risk and return of this new business is further protected in this regard.

(b) Film and advertising production, provision of public relations services, holding and sponsoring stage performance, concerts and cultural events

The Company announced the Potential Acquisition A in its announcement dated 13 March 2015. As disclosed in such announcement, the target company (together with its subsidiaries, ‘‘Target Group’’), upon completion of a restructuring, will be principally engaged in film and advertising production, provision of public relations services, holding and sponsoring stage performance, concerts and other cultural events. If such acquisition is materialized, it will enable the Group to complement its existing film production business to similar advertising production business, as well as provision of public relations services in relation to, among others, promotion of films through various events. The Board considers that it would enable the Company to strengthen its current film production ability and cost control and its market position in

– 60 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

the film industry, and such close alliance between the Group and the Target Group may have synergetic effect. According to the preliminary negotiation with the potential seller of the Target Group, the Board estimates that the consideration for such acquisition shall not be less than HK$60 million (subject to further negotiation and agreement).

The Company is of the view that the business of the film, advertising and public relation services is subject to economic and financial fluctuations, which results in changes of discretionary spending by consumers in relation to the box office of the film.

(c) Frames for eyeglasses and other optical products

According to the Company’s announcement dated 7 May 2015, the Company entered into the business of retail sale of optical products in Hong Kong through its investment in the chain shop with established and renowned brand name ‘‘茂昌眼鏡 Hong Kong Optical’’. The Board considers that such acquisition would enable the Group to take advantage of the growth in retail of optical products and diversify the revenue sources of the Group.

In addition, the Company also announced the Potential Acquisition B in its announcement dated 20 April 2015, which relates to the potential acquisition of certain interest in a group of companies which are principally engaged in the production of frames for eyeglasses and other optical products. The management of the Company is of the view that if such potential acquisition is materialized, there will be a synergy effect on the aforesaid wholesale and retail of optical product businesses as the Group can source the optical products from the aforesaid optical products manufacturer and maintains a stable supplier for its retails network in Hong Kong. According to the preliminary negotiation with the potential seller, the Board estimates that the consideration of the Potential Acquisition B would be not less than HK$60 million (subject to further negotiation and agreement).

The management of the Company is of the view that the performance of the business of production of frames for eyeglasses and other optical products is subject to (i) fluctuations in prices, or any unavailability, of the raw materials that are used in the products which may materially and adversely affect the business, results of operations or financial condition; and (ii) decreases in discretionary spending by retail customers of eyeglasses and optical products.

– 61 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

According to the Retail Reports, the dollar value of retail sales by optical shops has increased continuously from approximately HK$2,470 million in 2011 to approximately HK$3,421 million in 2014, representing a CAGR of approximately 11.5%. This reflects a robust growth of the retail sales of optical products in recent years. As such, the management of the Company is of the view that the outlook of the eyeglass and other optical products industry in Hong Kong is positive.

(d) Money lending business

As stated in the Interim Report 2014/15, the unaudited loans receivable from customers amounts to approximately HK$68.9 million bearing interest rates ranging from 9% to 12% per annum as at 31 December 2014. The Group seeks to maintain tight control over its loans receivable in order to minimise credit risk by reviewing the borrowers’ or guarantors’ financial positions, and accordingly, no loans receivable were impaired or overdue as at 31 December 2014. In view of (i) the stable interest income generated from the money lending business; and (ii) the growing demand for loan facilities by the existing customers, the Company intends to apply an aggregate of HK$85 million for further development of the money lending business.

(e) Loan facilities to non-wholly-owned subsidiary

As disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 6 November 2014, a joint venture agreement was entered into between Gold Summit International Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Round Table Family Group Limited in relation to the formation of a joint venture company, namely Round Table Performance Entertainment Limited (‘‘Round Table’’) (where the Group held 70% equity interest). Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, the Group may in its absolute discretion deem fit, provide a loan of up to an aggregate amount of approximately HK$46.7 million to Round Table.

Round Table is principally engaged in holding and sponsoring stage performance, concerts and other cultural events, as well as developing the entertainment business in Hong Kong and the PRC. The Company intends to apply not more than HK$43.4 million in order to further develop the existing business of holding and sponsoring stage performance, concerts and other cultural events as well as the entertainment business in Hong Kong and PRC. Such business operations will be conducted through Round Table and/or by other members of the Group.

– 62 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(f) Working capital

The Group estimates that the remaining balance of the use of proceeds of approximately HK$38.9 million will be primarily used as to (i) approximately HK$1.5 million for auditor remuneration; (ii) approximately HK$7.55 million for legal and other professional fee; (iii) approximately HK$23.0 million for salaries, staff welfare and other related expenses; (iv) approximately HK$3.5 million for rental and management fee; and (v) approximately HK$3.35 million for printing and stationery, travelling, utilities and other expenses. With reference to the Annual Report 2013/14 and discussion with the management of the Company, the proceeds to be utilized as working capital are expected to be fully utilized within one year.

The Directors consider that it is prudent to finance the Group’s long term growth by way of the Rights Issue which will not only strengthen the Group’s capital base and enhance its financial position without increasing finance costs, but will also allow all Qualifying Shareholders the opportunity to participate in the growth of the Group through the Rights Issue at a price lower than the current market price of the Shares. After taking into account of the above, we concur with the Board’s view that fund raising through the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

3. Other fund raising alternatives considered by the Group and the reasons for choosing the Placing and the Rights Issue as funding method

The Board is of the view that if fund raising is conducted solely through a placing of new shares, the existing Shareholders will not have the rights to participate in the capital exercise and their shareholding interest would be diluted without having an equal opportunity to maintain their proportionate interests. Meanwhile, if fund raising is conducted solely through a rights issue and considering the amount of fund to be raised (approximately HK$313.05 million in total before expense), the underwriting commitment and thus underwriting risk would be of a scale not acceptable by potential underwriters.

As advised by the Directors, the Board has considered bank borrowings or debt financing as an alternative means of fund raising before resolving to the Placing and the Rights Issue. According to the management of the Company, the Company approached financial institutions for debt financing with amount similar to that of the Placing and the Rights Issue. However, due to the historical financial record and net losses of the Group as stated in the section headed ‘‘Historical financial information’’ above, few financial institutions are willing to undertake debt finance and at a relatively high interest rate to the Group.

– 63 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Having considered that, (i) debts financing alternatives will incur additional finance costs and thus will increase the Group’s liabilities burden; (ii) the Placing and the Rights Issue could allow the Group to strengthen its capital base and enhance its financial position without facing the increasing interest rates and the increasing liabilities burden; (iii) all the Qualifying Shareholders are offered an equal and fair opportunity to participate in the Rights Issue to maintain their pro rata shareholding interests in the Company and in the future development of the Company; and (v) the Shareholders who do not participate in the fund raising of the Company can dispose of their rights shares entitlements in the market in nilpaid form. We concur with the Directors’ view that the Placing and the Rights Issue allows the Group to strengthen its capital base and enhance its financial position without facing the increasing finance cost, which may facilitate long-term growth of the Group, and thus, we are of the view that the Placing and the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

4. Principal terms of the Placing

Basis of the Placing

The Placing Agents have conditionally agreed to place up to 586,350,000 Placing Shares, on a best effort basis, at the Placing Price on behalf of the Company. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, the Placing Agents and their respective ultimate beneficial owners are Independent Third Parties.

The maximum number of the Placing Shares of 586,350,000 represents (i) approximately 196.51% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date; (ii) approximately 66.27% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Placing Shares (assuming that there is no other change in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of allotment and issue of the Placing Shares); and (iii) approximately 39.58% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Placing Shares and Rights Shares (assuming that there is no other change in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date(s) of allotment and issue of the Placing Shares and the Rights Shares). The aggregate nominal value of such number of the Placing Shares amounts to HK$5,863,500.

– 64 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Assuming the maximum number of the Placing Shares is placed, the gross proceeds from the Placing will amount to approximately HK$200.0 million and the net proceeds of the Placing, after deduction of the Placing commission and other related expenses of approximately HK$7.5 million, will be approximately HK$192.5 million. On such basis, the net issue price for each Placing Share will be approximately HK$0.3283.

Basis of determining the Placing Price

The Placing Price of HK$0.3411 represents:

  • (i) a discount of approximately 57.36% to the closing price of HK$0.8 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 26 May 2015, being the date of the Placing Agreement and the Last Trading Day;

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 15.00% to the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK$0.4013 per Share based on the closing price of HK$0.8 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day (taking into account the Rights Issue as described in the Circular);

  • (iii) a discount of approximately 54.03% to the average of the closing price per Share of HK$0.742 as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Last Trading Day;

  • (iv) a discount of approximately 57.36% to the closing price of HK$0.8 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date; and

  • (v) a discount of approximately 71.17% to the net asset value of approximately HK$1.183 per Share of the Company, based on the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Group of approximately HK$352,956,000 as at 31 December 2014 and the 298,380,307 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The Placing Price of HK$0.3411 was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Placing Agents with reference to the theoretical exrights price of approximately HK$0.4013 with a discount of approximately 15.0%, which is based on the Subscription Price and the closing price of the Shares on the Last Trading Day.

Note: The percentage of placing commission was not mentioned in the respective announcement.

The placing price of all of the Placing Comparables are set at discounts to the closing price on the last trading day of the relevant shares, ranging from a discount of approximately 2.1% to approximately 51.3%, with an average discount of approximately 21.1%. According to the terms of the Placing Agreement, completion of Placing is scheduled to take place after the Record Date for determining the entitlement to the Rights Issue (by when the market price of the Shares will have been adjusted taking into account of the Rights Issue), the Company considers that it is more reasonable to use the theoretical ex-rights price of HK$0.4013, as the basis to determine the Placing Price. Given that the Placing Price represents approximately 15.0% discount to the aforesaid theoretical ex-rights price of the Shares which is within the range and below the average discount to the prevailing market price of the Placing Comparables as stated above, we concur with the Company’s view that the Placing Price is fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Shareholders.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Placing commission

Pursuant to the Placing Agreement, the Company shall pay to each of the Placing Agents a commission of 3.5% of the aggregate Placing Price of the Placing Shares actually placed by such Placing Agent on behalf of the Company, provided that in any event, such commission to be paid by the Company to China Everbright Securities shall not be less than HK$200,000.

The placing commission was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Placing Agents under normal commercial terms and with reference to the prevailing market conditions. As illustrated in the Placing Comparables table as set out above, the placing commissions of the Placing Comparables ranged from 1.0% to 6.0%. Given that the 3.5% placing commission falls within the range of placing commissions of the Placing Comparables, the placing commission is in line with the market practice and therefore we consider that it is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

We have also reviewed other major terms of the Placing Agreement including, but not limited to, the termination of the Placing Agreement and conditions of the Placing Agreement (details of which are set out in the Letter from the Board) and we are not aware of any term which is unusual. As such, we are of the view that the terms of the Placing Agreement are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

5. Principal terms of the Rights Issue

Basis of the Rights Issue

The Company proposes to allot and issue not less than 596,760,614 (assuming there is no change to the issued share capital of the Company on or before the Record Date) and not more than 665,160,614 new Shares (assuming there is no change to the issued share capital of the Company other than the issue of new Shares upon the subscription of the Unlisted Warrants on or before the Record Date) to be issued pursuant to the Rights Issue on the basis of two Rights Shares for every one Share in issue on the Record Date.

Each of the Rights Shares (when allotted and fully paid) will rank pari passu in all respects among themselves and with the new Shares then in issue on the date of allotment. Holders of the fully-paid Rights Shares, credited as fully paid, will be entitled to receive all future dividends and distributions which may be declared, made or paid on or after the date of the allotment of the Rights Shares in their fully-paid form.

Basis of determining the Subscription Price

The Subscription Price for the Rights Shares is HK$0.202 per Rights Share and represents:

  • (i) a discount of 74.75% to the closing price of HK$0.8 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 49.66% to the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK$0.4013 per Share based on the closing price of HK$0.8 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • (iii) a discount of approximately 72.78% to the average closing price of approximately HK$0.742 per Share for the last five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Last Trading Day;

  • (iv) a discount of approximately 74.75% to the closing price of HK$0.8 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date; and

  • (v) a discount of approximately 82.92% to the net asset value of approximately HK$1.183 per Share of the Company, based on the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Group of approximately HK$352,956,000 as at 31 December 2014 and the 298,380,307 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The Subscription Price was determined after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and the Underwriter with reference to the prevailing market price of the Shares and the prevailing market conditions.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, we have compared the Subscription Price with reference to (i) the recent price performance of the Shares; (ii) the trading liquidity of the Shares; and (iii) the market comparable analysis, as set out below.

(a) Recent price performance of the Shares

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, we have reviewed the trading price of the Shares for the period from 26 May 2014, being the 12-month period prior to the date of the Underwriting Agreement, up to and including the Latest Practicable Date (the ‘‘Review Period’’). The chart below illustrates the daily theoretical closing price of the Shares versus the Subscription Price of HK$0.202 during the Review Period:

As shown in the above chart, we note that the closing price of the Shares shows a general downward trend during the Review Period. During the Review Period, the highest closing price and the lowest closing price of the Shares were HK$2.04 on 8 July 2014 and HK$0.455 on 31 March 2015, respectively. The Subscription Price is lower than the lowest closing price of the Shares during the Review Period, representing a discount of approximately 90.1% and 55.6% to such highest and lowest closing prices of the Shares during the Review Period.

– 69 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As the Rights Shares are offered to all Qualifying Shareholders, we are advised by the Directors that they would like to set and maintain the Subscription Price at a deep discount to the recent closing prices with an objective to encourage the Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue and accordingly maintain their pro-rata shareholdings in the Company and participate in the future growth of the Group, and they consider the terms of the Rights Issue to be fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

(b) Trading liquidity of the Shares

Regarding the trading liquidity of the Shares, for illustrative purpose, a table showing the average daily volume of the Shares per month/period and the respective percentages of the average daily trading volume as compared to the total number of issued Shares as at the end of the month/period is stated as below:

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As illustrated from the table above, the average daily trading volume as a percentage of the total number of issued Shares ranged from approximately 0.5% to approximately 3.3%. We note that the average daily trading volume of the shares accounted for only a small portion (less than 3.3%) of the total number of issued Shares at the end of each respective month since 26 May 2014. Based on the above, we do not consider the trading of the Shares as active. We concur with the Directors that setting the Subscription Price at a discount to market price could enhance attractiveness of the Rights Issue.

(c) Comparison with other rights issues

To further evaluate the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Rights Issue, we have also considered a comparison of rights issues conducted by companies listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange. We have identified 13 rights issue transaction comparables announced by other companies that are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange during the three months immediately before the date of the Underwriting Agreement (refer to collectively as the ‘‘Rights Issue Comparables’’). However, two of the Rights Issue Comparables were not suitable for comparison, reasons as stated below. Furthermore, having considered the recent volatility of the Hong Kong stock market and that the Rights Issue Comparables (i) adequately covered the prevailing market conditions and sentiments in the Hong Kong stock market; (ii) were conducted in such period which represented the recent structure of the rights issues in Hong Kong; and (iii) allowed the Shareholders to have general understanding of the recent rights issue transactions being conducted in the Hong Kong stock market, we considered that the size of the Rights Issue Comparables is adequate.

We confirm that the list of Rights Issue Comparables is an exhaustive list and consider the Rights Issue Comparables to be fair, sufficient and representative samples to illustrate the recent trend and terms of the rights issue transactions under common market practice, even though the Independent Shareholders should note that the businesses, operations and prospects of the Company are not the same as the Rights Issues Comparables and we have not conducted any in-depth investigation into their respective businesses and operations. The Rights Issue Comparables are used by us to make a comparison of the Rights Issue to the common market practice of the rights issue conducted by companies listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange.

  • Note 1: For analysis purpose, we have excluded the underwriting commission of one of the underwriter whom is considered a connected party.

Note 2: The underwriter is a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the controlling shareholder and does not underwrite in its ordinary course of business, as such we have excluded such comparable from our analysis.

  • Note 3: The rights issue is on a non-underwritten basis, as such we have excluded such comparable from our analysis.

Note 4: The effect of bonus issue associated with the rights issue has been taken into account.

As illustrated in the table above, the discount which the subscription prices of the Rights Issue Comparables represented to the relevant closing prices on the last trading days ranged from a discount of approximately 4.1% to 85.2% with the average being a discount of approximately 48.5%. The Subscription Price, which represents a discount of approximately 74.8% to the closing price of the Shares on the Last Trading Day falls within the range of the Rights Issue Comparables.

– 72 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Taking into account of (i) the funding needs of the Group to raise proceeds to further develop its businesses and strengthen its financial position as discussed in the above section headed ‘‘Reason for the Rights Issue and use of proceeds from the Rights Issue’’; (ii) common market practice that the subscription price of a rights issue is normally set at various degrees of discount to the prevailing market prices of the relevant shares in order to enhance the attractiveness of a rights issue and to encourage the existing shareholders to take part in the rights issue; (iii) the discounts of the Subscription Price of the Rights Issue to the closing price per Share on the Last Trading Day falling within the range of discounts represented by the Rights Issue Comparables; (iv) thin trading liquidity of the Shares of the Company since August 2014; (v) the equal opportunity offered by the Rights Issue to all of the Qualifying Shareholders to subscribe for the Rights Shares and hence avoids dilution; and (vi) the Subscription Price is a commercial decision arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and the Underwriter, we consider that the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable.

Underwriting Commission

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter will receive an underwriting commission calculated as 3.5% of the aggregate Subscription Price of the Underwritten Shares actually issued as determined on the Record Date. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge and information after having made all reasonable enquiries, the Underwriter and its ultimate beneficial owner are independent of and not connected with the Company and its connected person in its ordinary course of business includes underwriting.

As illustrated in the analysis set out in paragraph headed ‘‘Comparison with other rights issues’’ of this letter, the underwriting commission charged by the respective underwriters of the selected companies ranged from 1% to 3.5% on funds raised. The commission rate charged by the Underwriter of 3.5% falls at the higher end of the selected companies. We were informed by the Directors that the Group has considered appointing several underwriters for the Rights Issue. Nevertheless, there was a lack of positive response from them and the Company cannot find an underwriter for the Rights Issue at equal or better terms. The Directors also confirmed that the terms of the Underwriting Agreement were made on an arm’s length basis and are on normal commercial terms which are not unfavourable than terms available from other third parties. Furthermore, to the best of the Directors’ knowledge and information after having made all reasonable enquiries, the Underwriter and its ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of and not connected with the Company and its connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules). Based on the above, we do not see any incentive for the Company to negotiate terms that are unfavorable to itself or the Group for the Underwriter’s benefit. We are of the view that the underwriting commission paid to the Underwriter is fair and reasonable.

– 73 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We have also reviewed other major terms of the Underwriting Agreement including, but not limited to, the payment terms, the termination of the Underwriting Agreement and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement (details of which are set out in the Letter from the Board) and we are not aware of any term which is unusual. As such, we are of the view that the terms of the Underwriting Agreement are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

6. Potential dilution effect on the interests of the Independent Shareholders

As the Rights Issue is offered to all Qualifying Shareholders on the same basis, Qualifying Shareholders will be able to maintain their proportional interests in the Company if they take up their allotments under the Rights Issue in full. As set out under the section headed ‘‘Changes in shareholding structure of the Company’’ in the Letter from the Board, assuming that (i) no Qualifying Shareholder takes up his provisional allotment under the Rights Issue; (ii) the subscription rights attached to the Unlisted Warrants were exercised in full and Warrant Shares are issued pursuant thereto on or before the Record Date; and (iii) there is no other changes to the issued share capital on or before the Record Date, the shareholdings of the existing Independent Shareholders (excluding Ever Robust who has undertaken to take up its Committed Shares) will be (i) decreased from approximately 83.72% as at the Latest Practicable Date to 28.46% upon completion of the Rights Issue; and (ii) further decreased to 17.93% upon completion of the Placing and Rights Issue. Qualifying Shareholders who do not elect to subscribe for in full their assured entitlements under the Rights Issue will be diluted after completion of the Rights Issue by a maximum of approximately 66.7%.

However, we consider such scenario of maximum dilution is unlikely to occur since it assumes that (i) the Independent Shareholders have voted in favour of the Rights Issue at the SGM; but (ii) no Qualifying Shareholder would take up their provisional entitlements under the Rights Issue, which is a complete misalignment between the voting behaviour of the Independent Shareholders and their subscription for the Rights Shares.

Despite the dilution effect by the Rights Issue of a maximum of approximately 66.7%, having taken into account: (i) the Rights Issue would provide the fund for the Group to pursue its business development plan; (ii) the Rights Issue would strengthen the capital base of the Group; (iii) the Rights Issue is on the basis that all Qualifying Shareholders have been offered the same opportunity to maintain their proportional interests in the Company and allows the Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the growth of the Company; (iv) the inherent dilutive nature of Rights Issue in general if the existing Shareholder did not take up his/her/its entitlements under the Rights Issue; and (v) the discount of the Subscription Price was necessary to encourage the Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue, we consider the possible dilution effect on the Independent Shareholders to be acceptable.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

7. Financial effect of the Placing and the Rights Issue

(a) Net tangible asset

According to the unaudited pro forma statement of consolidated net tangible assets of the Group (the ‘‘Pro Forma Financial Information’’) set out in Appendix II to the Circular, the unaudited consolidated net tangible assets of the Group was approximately HK$350.1 million as at 31 December 2014. The unaudited pro forma adjusted consolidated net tangible assets of the Group would increase to (i) approximately HK$657.4 million as at 31 December 2014 on the basis that a minimum of 596,760,614 Rights Share are issued and 586,350,000 Placing Shares are issued; and (ii) approximately HK$671.2 million as at 31 December 2014 on the basis that a maximum of 665,160,614 Rights Share are issued and 586,350,000 Placing Shares are issued.

(b) Working capital

Upon the completion of the Placing and Rights Issue, the cash and bank balance of the Group will be increased as a result of the net proceeds from the Placing and the Rights Issue. Accordingly, the working capital and liquidity position of the Group will be improved as a result of the Placing and Rights Issue.

In light of above, we consider the Placing and the Rights Issue are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the above-mentioned principal factors and reasons, which include:

  • (i) financial information of the Group including the current cash position and indebtedness;

  • (ii) the use of proceeds from the Placing and the Rights Issue is consistent with the principal businesses and development plan of the Group;

  • (iii) the Placing and the Rights Issue are the most viable fund raising method as compared to debt financing;

  • (iv) the Placing Price which is below the average discount of the Placing Comparables are considered fair and reasonable;

– 75 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  • (v) the discount of the Subscription Price to the market price is necessary to encourage the Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue due to past share price performance of the Company;

  • (vi) the Rights Issue is on the basis that all Qualifying Shareholders have been offered the same opportunity to maintain their proportional interests in the Company; and

  • (vii) the underwriting commission of the Placing and Rights Issue is fair and reasonable;

we consider that, despite the inherent dilution effect to the Qualifying Shareholders who do not participate in the Rights Issue, the Placing, the Rights Issue, the Placing Agreement and the Underwriting Agreement are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions to approve the Placing and the Rights Issue, the Placing Agreement and the Underwriting Agreement to be proposed at the SGM.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Donvex Capital Limited Doris Sy Director

2. STATEMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS

Borrowings

As at the close of business on 30 April 2015, being the latest practicable date for the purpose of this statement of indebtedness prior to the printing of this circular, the Group had total borrowings of approximately HK$9,256,550, comprising (i) the obligations under noninterest bearing finance leases of approximately HK$56,550; and (ii) an unsecured loan note of HK$9,200,000 which is interest bearing at 6.5% per annum.

Litigations and Contingent Liabilities

As at the close of business on 30 April 2015, the Group has the following material litigations and contingent liabilities:

  • (a) A court action was commenced in the Court of First Instance of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on 17 April 2002 by The Star Overseas Limited (‘‘Star’’), an independent third party, against Universe Entertainment Limited (‘‘UEL’’), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

By the above action, Star alleges that a sum of US$935,872 (equivalent to HK$7,299,799) was payable by UEL to Star as its share of the revenue of the movie entitled ‘‘Shaolin Soccer’’ (the ‘‘Movie’’).

Pursuant to an order (the ‘‘Order’’) made by the High Court of Hong Kong on 21 February 2003, UEL was ordered and had paid to Star a sum of HK$5,495,700, being part of the licence fee of the Movie received by UEL from Miramax Films (being the licencee of the Movie) and which was also part of the sum claimed by Star. Pursuant to the Order, UEL is also liable to pay Star interest in the sum of HK$350,905 and some of the costs of the application leading to the making of the Order, all of which have been settled. As the Order has not disposed of all the claims of US$935,872 (equivalent to HK$7,299,799) by Star, UEL is entitled to continue to defend the claim by Star for recovering the remaining balance in the sum of approximately HK$1,804,099 (HK$7,299,799 less HK$5,495,700).

On 30 April 2002, UEL issued a Writ of Summons against Star for the latter’s wrongful exploitation of certain rights in the Movie co-owned by both parties. UEL claimed to recover all losses and damages suffered by UEL as a result of such wrongful exploitation.

FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

On 9 September 2002, Universe Laser & Video Co. Limited (‘‘ULV’’), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued a Writ of Summons against Star for the latter’s infringement of the licensed rights in the Movie held by ULV. ULV claimed to recover all of its loss and damages suffered as a result of the said infringement.

In the opinion of legal counsel, it is premature to predict the outcome of the claim against UEL. The Board is of the opinion that the outcome of the said claim against UEL will have no material financial impact on the Group for the Period.

  • (b) On 1 September 2008, Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (‘‘KPE’’) issued a Writ of Summons against among other persons, the Company, ULV and Mr. Lam Shiu Ming, Daneil (one of the Directors), being three of the defendants named therein, in respect of damages arising from alleged infringement of the patents regarding Video Compact Disc owned by KPE.

In the opinion of legal counsel, it is premature to predict the outcome of the said claim made against the Company, ULV and Mr. Lam Shiu Ming, Daneil. The Board is of the opinion that the outflow of economic benefits cannot be reliably estimated and accordingly no provision for any liability that may result has been made in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information.

  • (c) On 8 January 2010, KPE issued a Writ of Summons against among other persons, the Company, ULV and Mr. Lam Shiu Ming, Daneil (one of the Directors), being three of the defendants named therein, in respect of damages arising from alleged infringement of the patents regarding Digital Video Disc owned by KPE.

In June 2012, the action was discontinued against the Company and Mr. Lam Shiu Ming, Daneil. The claim made against ULV has been agreed with KPE and settled by ULV and appropriate legal costs provision was recognised accordingly in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2012.

No additional provision has been made in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information for the Period. Based on the consultation with legal counsel, no further material outflow of economic benefits will be incurred for ULV.

APPENDIX I

  • (d) Universe Artiste Management Limited (‘‘UAM’’) commenced Court of First Instance Action against Kwong Ling and Oriental Prosperous Int’l Entertainments Limited (collectively the ‘‘Defendants’’) on 30 June 2014 claiming inter alia for a declaration that UAM is entitled to extend/renew the term of the Artist Management Contract of the Defendants with UAM (the ‘‘Artist Management Contract’’) for 5 years as from 3 May 2014 to 2 May 2019.

The Defendants filed their defence and counterclaim on 29 September 2014. By such counterclaim, the Defendants claiming against UAM inter alia for a declaration that the Artist Management Contract was void and unenforceable, the Artist Management Contract to be rescinded, damages for breach of the Artist Management Contract and for breach of fiduciary duties, a declaration that UAM is liable to account to the Defendants and an order for payment of all sums found to be due by UAM to the Defendants.

In the opinion of legal counsel, it is premature to predict the outcome of the said claim against UAM. The Board considers that the amounts of counterclaim by the Defendants against UAM is insignificant to the Group as a whole.

Disclaimer

Save as aforesaid and apart from intra-group liabilities and normal accruals and other payables in the ordinary course of the business, as at the close of business on 30 April 2015, the Group did not have other outstanding mortgages, charges, or other loan capital, bank overdrafts, loans or other similar indebtedness, finance lease or hire purchase commitments, liabilities under acceptance or acceptance credits, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities.

The Directors confirmed that there has been no material changes in the indebtedness and contingent liabilities of the Group since 30 April 2015 and up to and including the Latest Practicable Date.

3. WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors are of the opinion that, after taking into account the existing cash and bank balances, other internal resources available and the estimated net proceeds from the Placing and the Rights Issue, the Group has sufficient working capital for its present requirements and for at least 12 months from the date of this circular in the absence of unforeseen circumstances.

FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

On 7 May 2015, Fragrant River Entertainment Culture (Holdings) Limited as purchaser, Victor Meg Limited, Ng Tang and Most Profitable Investment Ltd. as vendors and Ng Tang and Lo Lai Kuen as guarantors entered into a sale and purchase agreement in relation to the acquisition of all the remaining issue share capital of Winston Asia Limited, at a maximum consideration of HK$64,000,000 (subject to adjustments).

Save as disclosed, no business was acquired by the Group after 30 June 2014, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Group was made up.

6. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

The Group’s unaudited consolidated revenue for the six months period ended 31 December 2014 (the ‘‘Period’’) decreased by approximately 80.0% over the same period last year to approximately HK$30.5 million. It was mainly due to the decrease in revenue from film exhibition, licensing and sub-licensing of film rights segment from approximately HK$144.4 million for the six months period ended 31 December 2013 to approximately HK$22.5 million during the Period as a result of the decrease in number of newly released film and no new self-produced films released during the Period under review.

The Group recorded a net loss of approximately HK$30.4 million for the Period against a net profit of approximately HK$5.9 million for the corresponding period last year, which is mainly due to the recognition of the fair value loss arising from the investment securities and the recognition of the share based payment expenses of approximately HK$19.0 million and approximately HK$9.4 million respectively during the Period.

The total box revenue of film exhibition industry in the PRC is increasing in recent years. Due to the high production, advertising and distribution cost, this makes the operating environment of this segment more challenging than before. In response to the above, the Group adopted a cautious approach towards investment in the film exhibition, licensing and sub-licensing of film rights which in turn resulted in the decrease in number of newly released films and the absence of new self-produced film released during the Period. Nevertheless, the Group will closely monitor the market environment and continue to evaluate new opportunities in this sector.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANT’S ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IN A CIRCULAR

TO THE DIRECTORS OF UNIVERSE INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of unaudited pro forma financial information of Universe International Holdings Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) and its subsidiaries (collectively the ‘‘Group’’) by the directors for illustrative purposes only. The unaudited pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma statement of adjusted net tangible assets of the Group as at 31 December 2014, and related notes (the ‘‘Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information’’) as set out on pages II-1 to II-6 of the Company’s circular dated 24 June 2015, in connection with the proposed placing of shares and rights issue of the Company. The applicable criteria on the basis of which the directors have compiled the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information are described on pages II-1 to II-6.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled by the directors to illustrate the impact of the proposed placing of shares and rights issue on the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2014 as if the proposed placing of shares and rights issue had taken place at 31 December 2014. As part of this process, information about the Group’s financial position has been extracted by the directors from the Group’s financial information for the period ended 31 December 2014, on which a review report has been published.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The directors are responsible for compiling 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 with reference to Accounting Guideline 7 ‘‘Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars’’ (‘‘AG 7’’) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’).

APPENDIX II

Reporting Accountant’s Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express 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.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3420 ‘‘Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus’’, issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountant complies with ethical requirements and plans and performs procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the directors have compiled the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules and with reference to AG 7 issued by the HKICPA.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.

The purpose of unaudited pro forma financial information included in a circular is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the entity as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the proposed placing of shares and rights issue at 31 December 2014 would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the unaudited pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the directors in the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

  • The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and

  • The unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

APPENDIX II

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant’s judgment, having regard to the reporting accountant’s understanding of the nature of the company, the event or transaction in respect of which the unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the unaudited pro forma financial information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion:

  • (a) the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been properly compiled by the directors of the Company on the basis stated;

  • (b) such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group; and

9. LITIGATION

  • (a) A court action was commenced in the Court of First Instance of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on 17th April 2002 by The Star Overseas Limited (‘‘Star’’), an independent third party, against Universe Entertainment Limited (‘‘UEL’’), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

By the above action, Star alleges that a sum of US$935,872 (equivalent to HK$7,299,799) was payable by UEL to Star as its share of the revenue of the movie entitled‘‘Shaolin Soccer’’ (the ‘‘Movie’’).

Pursuant to an order (the ‘‘Order’’) made by the High Court of Hong Kong on 21st February 2003, UEL was ordered and had paid to Star a sum of HK$5,495,700, being part of the licence fee of the Movie received by UEL from Miramax Films (being the licencee of the Movie) and which was also part of the sum claimed by Star. Pursuant to the Order, UEL is also liable to pay Star interest in the sum of HK$350,905 and some of the costs of the application leading to the making of the Order, all of which have been settled. As the Order has not disposed of all the claims of US$935,872 (equivalent to HK$7,299,799) by Star, UEL is entitled to continue to defend the claim by Star for recovering the remaining balance in the sum of approximately HK$1,804,099 (HK$7,299,799 less HK$5,495,700).

On 30th April 2002, UEL issued a Writ of Summons against Star for the latter’s wrongful exploitation of certain rights in the Movie co-owned by both parties. UEL claimed to recover all losses and damages suffered by UEL as a result of such wrongful exploitation.

III – 12

GENERAL INFORMATION

APPENDIX III

On 9th September 2002, Universe Laser & Video Co. Limited (‘‘ULV’’), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued a Writ of Summons against Star for the latter’s infringement of the licensed rights in the Movie held by ULV. ULV claimed to recover all of its loss and damages suffered as a result of the said infringement.

In the opinion of legal counsel, it is premature to predict the outcome of the claim against UEL. The Board is of the opinion that the outcome of the said claim against UEL will have no material financial impact on the Group for the Period.

  • (b) On 1 September 2008, Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. (‘‘KPE’’) issued a Writ of Summons against among other persons, the Company, ULV and Mr. Lam Shiu Ming, Daneil (one of the Directors), being three of the defendants named therein, in respect of damages arising from alleged infringement of the patents regarding Video Compact Disc owned by KPE.

In the opinion of legal counsel, it is premature to predict the outcome of the said claim made against the Company, ULV and Mr. Lam Shiu Ming, Daneil. The Board is of the opinion that the outflow of economic benefits cannot be reliably estimated and accordingly no provision for any liability that may result has been made in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information.

  • (c) On 8 January 2010, KPE issued a Writ of Summons against among other persons, the Company, ULV and Mr. Lam Shiu Ming, Daneil (one of the Directors), being three of the defendants named therein, in respect of damages arising from alleged infringement of the patents regarding Digital Video Disc owned by KPE.

In June 2012, the action against the Company and Mr. Lam Shiu Ming, Daneil was discontinued. The claim made against ULV has been agreed with KPE and settled by ULV and appropriate legal costs provision was recognised accordingly in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30th June 2012.

No additional provision has been made in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information for the Period. Based on the consultation with legal counsel, no further material outflow of economic benefits will be incurred for ULV.

  • (d) Universe Artiste Management Limited (‘‘UAM’’) commenced Court of First Instance Action against Kwong Ling and Oriental Prosperous Int’l Entertainments Limited (collectively the ‘‘Defendants’’) on 30 June 2014 claiming inter alia for a declaration that UAM is entitled to extend/renew the term of the Artist Management Contract of the Defendants with UAM (the ‘‘Artist Management Contract’’) for 5 years as from 3 May 2014 to 2 May 2019.

III – 13

GENERAL INFORMATION

APPENDIX III

The Defendants filed their defence and counterclaim on 29 September 2014. By such counterclaim, the Defendants claiming against UAM inter alia for a declaration that the Artist Management Contract was void and unenforceable, the Artist Management Contract to be rescinded, damages for breach of the Artist Management Contract and for breach of fiduciary duties, a declaration that UAM is liable to account to the Defendants and an order for payment of all sums found to be due by UAM to the Defendants.

In the opinion of legal counsel, it is premature to predict the outcome of the said claim against UAM. The Board considers that the amounts of counterclaim by the Defendants against UAM is insignificant to the Group as a whole.

Save as disclosed above, as at the Latest Practicable Date, no member of the Group was engaged in any litigation or arbitration of material importance and there was no litigation or claim of material importance known to the Directors to be pending or threatened against any member of the Group.
