REASONS FOR AND BENEFIT OF THE DISPOSAL

The principal business of the Group comprises (i) Polishing Materials and Equipment Business; (ii) trading of equity securities; (iii) investment in terminal and logistics services business; (iv) finance lease; and (v) investment holding. The Polishing Materials and Equipment Business is operated by the Disposal Group.

As shown in the section headed “Financial information of the Disposal Group” above, the revenue of the Polishing Materials and Equipment Business has been loss-making for the two financial years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015 and six months ended 30 June 2016. In fact, the Polishing Materials and Equipment Business has been loss-making since the year ended 31 December 2007. The Directors consider that under the current economic environment, the poor performance of the Polishing Materials and Equipment Business is expected to continue and there is no sign of improvement in the foreseeable future, and the Polishing Materials and Equipment Business would remain a financial burden to the Group as well as ineffective use of resources.

In view of the foregoing, the Directors consider that it is in the interest of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole to seize the aforesaid opportunity to dispose of the Polishing Materials and Equipment Business thereby to cease its adverse impacts brought to the Group, and devote resources to the newly acquired finance lease business.

Taking into consideration of the aforesaid, the Directors consider that the terms and conditions of the Disposal are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and that the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF AND USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THE DISPOSAL

Upon Completion, the Company will cease to hold any equity interest in the Disposal Company and the results of the Disposal Company will no longer be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

7

For illustrative purpose, based on (i) the adjusted unaudited net asset value of the Disposal Group as at 30 June 2016 of approximately HK$30,484,000 after waiving the net amount due from the Remaining Group to the Disposal Group of approximately HK$73,622,000; (ii) the Consideration of HK10,000,000, it is estimated that the Remaining Group will record loss on Disposal of approximately HK$20,484,000 (subject to audit). The Board intends to apply the net proceeds from the Disposal as general working capital of the Remaining Group.

It should be noted that the aforementioned estimations are for illustrative purpose only and do not purport to represent how the actual financial position of the Remaining Group will be upon Completion.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As of the applicable ratios set forth under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules is respect of the Disposal is 75% or more, the Disposal constitute a very substantial disposal of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and the Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. The EGM will be convened and held for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the Disposal. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholders have any material interest in the Disposal or are required to abstain from voting at the EGM of the Company to approve the Disposal.

GENERAL

A circular containing, among other things, details of the Disposal Agreement and the Disposal Group, the financial information of the Group, the financial information of the Disposal Group, the notice convening the EGM and other information as required under the Listing Rules is expected to be despatched to the Shareholders on or before 9 December 2016, so as to allow sufficient time for the preparation of the relevant information for inclusion in the circular.
