FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL AND INTENDED USE OF PROCEEDS

It is estimated that the Group will record an unaudited net loss before taxation of approximately HK$1,420,000 upon Completion. Such accounting net loss was estimated based on the cost of investment made by the Group in the Target Company and the Consideration to be received from the Disposal less related expenses of approximately HK$50,000. However, as dividend incomes in the aggregate amount of HK$1,340,000 were received by the Group from the Target Company for the two financial years ended 31 March 2016, the overall cash position of the Group was not adversely affected as a result of the Disposal. The Group recorded dividend incomes in the amount of HK$590,000 and HK$750,000 from the Target Company for the financial years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016, respectively.

The Board intends to apply the net sale proceeds as general working capital of the Group.

The actual gain or loss arising from the Disposal is subject to confirmation by the auditor of the Group.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The Group is a provider of financial services, including but not limited to securities and insurance brokerage, margin financing, provision of corporate finance services, asset management and money lending services.

The Group acquired an equity interest in the Target Company in January 2015. At that time, the Directors expected the said acquisition would, among other factors, broaden the source of income of the Group. Nevertheless, by taking into consideration (i) the Target Company did not perform in accordance with the expectation of the Group; (ii) the business prospects of the Target Company may be adversely affected as a result of the slowdown of the local economy and changes in governmental and regulatory policies; (iii) the Disposal is not expected to adversely affect the financial position of the Group; and (iv) the Disposal will allow the Group to focus on the development of its remaining financial related businesses, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the best interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

As one of the applicable percentage ratios as set out in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in relation to the Disposal is more than 5% but less than 25%, the Disposal constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company pursuant to Rule 14.06 of the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but exempt from the Shareholders’ approval requirement under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

As the completion of the Sale and Purchase Agreement is subject to the fulfilment of the condition precedent as stipulated therein, the Disposal may or may not proceed. Shareholders and any potential investors are advised to take caution in dealing in the securities of the Company.
