On 12 April 2013, the Company entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement with the Purchaser and pursuant to which the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to acquire and the Company has conditionally agreed to sell the Sale Shares, representing the entire issued share capital of the Target.
THE SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT
The principal terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are summarised below.
Date: 12 April 2013 (after trading hours) Parties: (i) the Company as the Vendor; and (ii) Success Trend Enterprises Limited as the Purchaser.
The Purchaser is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability and principally engaged in investment holding. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, each of the Purchaser and its respective associates are Independent Third Parties.
Assets to be disposed
The Sale Shares represent the entire issued share capital of the Target, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Consideration
Pursuant to the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the consideration for the Sale Shares is HK$200,000 and shall be payable by the Purchaser at completion in cash.
The consideration was arrived at after negotiations on an arm’s length commercial basis between the parties to the Sale and Purchase Agreement with reference to, among others, the net loss of Target in the past fiscal years, the accumulated losses and net liabilities position of the Target and the prospects of the prevailing electronic products business and its other businesses.
Conditions precedent
Completion of the Proposed Disposal is conditional upon the satisfaction of the following:
-
(a) the approval of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder by Shareholders at the SGM pursuant to the Listing Rules; and
-
(b) all necessary consents and approvals (if any), including consent and approval from the Stock Exchange (if necessary) having been obtained.
– 4 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
If any of the conditions precedent set out above shall not have been fulfilled by 4:00 p.m. on the Long Stop Date, the Purchaser may extend the Long Stop Date for a further period of 30 days or such other date as it thinks fit by notice in writing, or terminate the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

INFORMATION ON THE TARGET
The Target is an investment holding company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in design, manufacture and sale of electronic products.
Set out below is the audited financial information of the Target for the years ended 31 December 2011 and 2012:
| Year ended 31 December | Year ended 31 December | |
|---|---|---|
| 2012 | 2011 | |
| HK$’000 | HK$’000 | |
| Revenue | 298,792 | 324,613 |
| Net (loss) before taxation and other | ||
| comprehensive income | (28,806) | (34,408) |
| Net (loss) after taxation and before other | ||
| comprehensive income | (30,309) | (35,291) |
| Total comprehensive loss attributable to | ||
| owners of the Company | (27,510) | (32,478) |
| Net liabilities | (56,169) | (28,659) |
FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THE DISPOSAL ON THE GROUP
Upon completion of the Proposed Disposal, the Company will no longer have any interest in the Target and it will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and the results of the Target will cease to be consolidated into the accounts of the Group. The Company is expect to record a gain of approximately HK$56.4 million, which is calculated by the consideration under the Proposed Disposal minus the net liabilities of the Target of approximately HK$56.2 million as at 31 December 2012. The final financial impact of the Proposed Disposal will be subject to the net asset value of the Target as at the date of completion. The proceeds from the Proposed Disposal is expected to be used as general working capital of the Company.
REASONS FOR THE DISPOSAL
The Company is principally engaged in design, development, manufacture and sale of electronic products, property development, investment and management in the PRC. It also trades listed equity investments and commodities, provides loan financing and engages in hotel

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
operation. Upon completion of the Proposed Disposal, the Company will discontinue its loss making electronic products business and businesses of commodity and equity investment trading and loan financing and then, focus on the property development.
In recent years, the Group’s manufacturing business environment is facing various challenges including increasing concern of environmental issue, increasing labour cost and labour issue, increasing production and distribution cost as well as the volatility of foreign exchange market. The Target suffered net losses after taxation of approximately HK$35.3 million and HK$30.3 million for the two years ended 31 December 2011 and 2012 and had a net liabilities of HK$56.2 million as at 31 December 2012. The Directors consider the Proposed Disposal represents a good opportunity for the Group to divest the electronic products segment and reserve more resources for its property development sector. The Proposed Disposal would also enable the Group to strengthen its financial position and improve its gearing with an estimated book gain of approximately HK$56.4 million. Therefore, the Board is of the view that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are fair and reasonable and the entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement is in the interest of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios calculated under the Listing Rules in respect of the Proposed Disposal and the transactions contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement are more than 25% but less than 75%, the Proposed Disposal constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules. To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquires, no Shareholder has a material interest in the Proposed Disposal. As such, no Shareholder will be required to abstain from voting on the resolution(s) to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Proposed Disposal and the transactions contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement.
THE SGM
A notice convening the SGM to be held on Tuesday, 28 May 2013 is set out on pages 15 to 16 of this circular.
RECOMMENDATION
The Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) considers that the Proposed Disposal and the Sale and Purchase Agreement are on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company, and the Proposed Disposal is fair and reasonable so far as the Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board recommends the Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed in the SGM to approve the Proposed Disposal and the transactions contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

3. WORKING CAPITAL

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS
After disposal of the Target, the Group is principally engaged in (i) property investment, development and management in Guangzhou, and (ii) hotel operation in Guangzhou.
(i) Property Businesses
Regarding the real estate market of major cities in PRC, during 2012, sales started off pretty weak and slowly picked up in June on the back of required reserve ratio cut and supports from the easing of Home Provident Fund (住房公積金) at local government level. In early November 2012, the National People’s Congress of the PRC (中國全國人民 代表大會) ended up without much change on the policy front, and since then market sentiments have vividly turned positive with strong underlying demand releasing, which was backed up by the rapid availability of home mortgages from commercial banks. The expectation of an increasing home-price trend has again built-up in general public’s mind. In this respect, on 20 February 2013, the State Council of the PRC (中國國務院) released five new policies to regulate the real estate market, including new initiatives aimed at streamlining the work responsibility system for property prices, controlling speculative property investments, increasing commodity housing and land supply, stepping up construction of affordable housing, as well as tightening controls of the market. On 1 March 2013, the central government of the PRC rolled out specific rules to further tighten the control of the property market amid expectations for climbing housing prices. The measures include income taxes to be levied on home owners who sell their homes to second-hand buyers, and increasing down payment rate and loan interest rate for buyers who purchase the second unit.
The Group has disposed its projects in Hainan Province. The current property development and investment projects of the Group are focused in Guangzhou. Although Guangzhou is a first-tier city where its real estate market is subject to stringent control, the domestic fundamental demand is still strong. In order to tackle the challenges brought by these new control policies, the Group will put extra efforts on the pre-sale and the speeding up of the construction of its project under development, namely, Xiantian Banshan (South Lake Village Phase II). It is expected an after-tax net cash inflow can be

APPENDIX I
generated from the sales of this project in near terms. In addition, the Group will focus on city redevelopment opportunities that are supported by local communities and government and is considered to be less affected by those nationwide property control measures. The Group is also seeking to optimise its resources to be allocated in different projects and will consider to sell some of the existing project or acquire new development project as and when appropriate. Considering these prospects, the Board is going to concentrate on its property development business and will devote more resources to support its growth.
(ii) Hotel Operation
Since the opening of the Group’s Hilton Guangzhou Tianhe in 2011, its brand name has received increasing local recognition and improving operating result was achieved. However, market competition has been intensified. There are a few more worldwide brand name hotels opened or scheduled to be opened within the Tianhe district soon. In addition, prospect arising from government related spending is expected to be negatively affected by recent political development of the PRC. Despite the value of the hotel premise is high, the Group may only secure sufficient net operating cash inflow to meet its financing need and obtain net profit after depreciation, amortisation and financing costs through long-term operation and commitment. As such, the Group may consider selling its hotel properties and business if there is an attractive acquisition offer so as to concentrate resources on its real estate business as stated above.
