LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Consideration
The Consideration of the Disposal is HK$10,000,000 which will be settled in the following manners:
-
(i) the first instalment in the sum of HK$5,000,000 to be paid immediately by the Purchaser by way of wire transfer to the Vendor on or before the seventh Business Day after the Completion Date; and
-
(ii) the second instalment in the sum of HK$5,000,000 to be paid immediately by the Purchaser by way of wire transfer to the Vendor on or before the date falling on the date of the first anniversary of the Completion Date.
Basis of consideration

Completion of the Disposal is conditional upon, among other thing, the Company, a subsidiary of the Disposal Company and the Disposal Company entering into the waiver documents, pursuant to which the Disposal Group and the Remaining Group shall waive the mutual debts due from each other effectively, of which the net amount due from the Remaining Group to the Disposal Group of approximately HK$73,623,000. After waiving the net amount due from the Remaining Group to the Disposal Group, the adjusted unaudited net asset value of the Disposal Group as at 30 June 2016 would be approximately HK$30,481,000.
The Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiation between the Vendor and the Purchaser with reference to the (i) adjusted unaudited net asset value of the Disposal Group of approximately HK$30,481,000 after waiving an amount due from the Remaining Group to the Disposal Group of approximately HK$73,623,000; (ii) the unaudited consolidated loss after taxation of the Disposal Group for the two years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015 and for the nine months ended 30 September 2016 of approximately HK$4,540,000, HK$6,503,000 and HK$8,875,000, respectively; and (iii) the expected continuing loss-making condition due to the continuing difficult operating environment of the Polishing Materials and Equipment Business as detailed in the section headed ‘‘Information of the Group and the Remaining Group and reasons for and benefit of the Disposal’’ below.
During the negotiation process of the Disposal, the parties to the Disposal Agreement were of view that the Disposal Group might not achieve turnaround in the near term following the Disposal and the Purchaser might have to bear such potential losses to be recorded by the Disposal Group, given that (i) the continuous and considerable loss-making of the Polishing Materials and Equipment Business since the year ended 31 December 2007; (ii) the unaudited consolidated loss after taxation of the Disposal Group for the year ended 31 December 2015 and for the nine months ended 30 September 2016 of approximately HK$6,503,000 and HK$8,875,000, respectively; and (iii) the poor performance of the Disposal Group shows no sign of improvement and may deteriorate. In light of the forgoing, the Vendor and Purchaser had negotiated and arrived at the Consideration of HK$10,000,000, as compared with the adjusted unaudited net asset value of the Disposal Group as at 30 June 2016 of approximately HK$30,481,000, after catering for the potential losses of the Disposal Group following the Disposal before any turnaround can be achieved and that the Purchaser would have to bear the potential losses as mentioned above.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Upon Completion, the Company will cease to hold any equity interest in the Disposal Company and the results of the Disposal Group will no longer be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
INFORMATION OF THE GROUP AND THE REMAINING GROUP AND 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 and impact of the Disposal’’ below, the Polishing Materials and Equipment Business has been in a loss-making position for the two years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015 and nine months ended 30 September 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 this 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, the future development of which is detailed in the section headed ‘‘Financial and trading prospects of the Group’’ in Appendix I to this circular.
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 INFORMATION AND IMPACT OF THE DISPOSAL
Set out below is extracted financial information of the Disposal Group as extracted from its unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with the HKFRSs for the two years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015 and nine months ended 30 September 2016:

Based on the unaudited net asset value of the Disposal Group as at 30 June 2016, it is estimated that the Company will record a loss of approximately HK$22,225,000 from the Disposal, and the basis of calculation is as follows:

|---|---|
The financial effects to the Group upon completion of the Disposal are expected to be:
-
(i) a decrease in the net assets of approximately HK$22.8 million; and
-
(ii) change from a profit of HK$3.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2015 to a loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$14.8 million

Capital Structure
As at 31 December 2015, the share capital of the Company comprised ordinary shares only.
Employees and Remuneration Policy
As at 31 December 2015, the Remaining Group had approximately 27 employees (excluding employees of the Company’s joint ventures) in Hong Kong and the PRC. The employees are remunerated with basic salary, bonus and other benefits in kind with reference to industry practice and their individual performance.
Business prospects and future plan
The year 2015 was a very difficult year to the Remaining Group. Due to the slowdown of China economy and the rather weak performance of China import and export industry as a result of the unstable global economic conditions, the performance of terminal and logistics services segment was inevitably affected, with a substantial decrease as compared with the last year. The Remaining Group believes that with the benefit of the depreciation of the RMB recently and the supporting policies announced by the ‘‘Two Sessions’’ kicked off in Beijing in March 2016, the performance of the terminal and logistics services segment will slowly pick up. The investment business segment continued to record improvement. However, due to the extreme unstable market conditions, the Remaining Group will continue to take a conservative approach towards its investment portfolio and strategies in order to improve the performance of the investment segment.
In addition, the Remaining Group believes that it will be able to expand its business into the finance lease industry by acquiring interests in a PRC finance lease company at the beginning of the year. It is expected that the business will generate a positive contribution to the Remaining Group’s overall performance and will present new opportunities to the expansion of its business.
While impacted by both decline external and internal adverse factors, the management of the Remaining Group will consider these adverse factors as challenges and drivers that foster its development. The Remaining Group will continue to use their best endeavor to strengthen and strive for improvements in all the Remaining Group’s business segments and to enhance the long-term profitability and growth potential of the Remaining Group by emphasizing on the development of its newly acquired finance lease business.

Set out below are the unaudited consolidated statements of financial position of the Disposal Group as at 31 December 2013, 2014 and 2015 and 30 September 2016 and the unaudited consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, unaudited consolidated statements of changes in equity and unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows and certain explanatory notes of the Disposal Group for each of the three years ended 31 December 2013, 2014 and 2015 and the nine months ended 30 September 2015 and 2016 (the ‘‘Unaudited Financial Information’’).
The Unaudited Financial Information has been presented on the basis set out in Note 2 and prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted by the Company as set out in its annual report for the year ended 31 December 2015, and the new accounting standards introduced that have been effective for the period ended 30 June 2016, where applicable, and paragraph 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Listing Rules.
The Unaudited Financial Information is prepared by the Directors solely for the purpose of inclusion in this circular in connection with the disposal of the Disposal Group (the ‘‘Disposal’’). The Company’s reporting accountant was engaged to review the financial information of the Disposal Group set out on pages II-2 to II-9 in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2400 (Revised) ‘‘Engagements to Review Historical Financial Statements’’ and with reference to Practice Note 750 ‘‘Review of Financial Information under the Hong Kong Listing Rules for a Very Substantial Disposal’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable the reporting accountant to obtain assurance that the reporting accountant would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, the reporting accountant does not express an audit opinion. The reporting accountant has issued an unqualified review report.
