Completion of the Subscription, in any event shall take place on the date falling on the tenth business day after the Subscriber’s receipt of the notice from the Company confirming the fulfilment of the above conditions precedent or such other date to be agreed between the Company and the Subscriber.
Information on the Subscriber
The Subscriber is an investment holding company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in development, engineering, manufacturing and sale of toys, commercial kitchen and consumer electronic products.

Application for listing

REASONS FOR AND USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THE SUBSCRIPTION
The Company is an investment holding company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in investment in listed and unlisted companies in Hong Kong and the PRC.
The Directors consider that the Subscription represents an opportunity for the Company to broaden its capital base by introducing a strategic investor to the Company. The Subscriber is principally engaged in development, engineering, manufacturing and sale of toys, commercial kitchen and consumer electronic products and their target customers of the above business sectors are in the PRC. With the geographic advantage of the Subscriber’s PRC business network, the Directors consider that the Group can be beneficial from its strategic connections from the Subscriber so as to explore the potential investment opportunities in the unlisted companies in the PRC.
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The gross proceeds from the Subscription will be amounted to approximately HK$88.0 million and the net proceeds from the Subscription will be amounted to approximately HK$87.5 million, which is intended to be used for i) investment of the financial instruments available in Hong Kong financial market; and ii) investment in unlisted companies in Hong Kong or PRC. The Board would constantly evaluate the investment portfolio of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no current concrete plan and has not yet identified any suitable investment in Hong Kong and PRC. Nonetheless, based on the fact that the significant working capital demands for the development of the Group’s investment business and the importance of timing for the securities investment business shall investment opportunity arises, there is no certainty that the existing cash resources of the Group will be adequate to fulfill such needs in a timely manner.
Given that the terms of the Subscription Agreement are reached after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Subscriber, the Directors consider the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
EFFECT ON SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY

As at 30 June 2016, the major investments of the Group were approximately HK$429.03 million of a portfolio of listed equity securities and HK$0.56 million of direct investment in unlisted equity securities. The investment portfolio of the Group comprises equity securities in Hong Kong, Canada, the United States of America and China. Dividend from listed equity investments during the year ended 31 December 2015 was approximately HK$8.60 million.
The Group recorded a revenue of approximately HK$1,474,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2016, as compared with a revenue of approximately HK$1,130,000 in the corresponding period of 2015. The Group also recorded a loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$78,433,000, as compared with a profit attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$27,500,000 in the corresponding period of 2015. Such change was mainly due to (i) change from gain arising in change in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of approximately HK$21,133,000 for six months ended 30 June 2015 to loss arising in change in fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of approximately HK$60,892,000; and (ii) the absence of gain on disposal of subsidiaries of approximately HK$19,404,000 as recognised for the six months ended 30 June 2015.
Looking ahead, the Board will pay attention to the changes in global economy and continue to seek for business opportunities available in Hong Kong and PRC especially after establishment of mutual stock market access between Shenzhen and Hong Kong expected to be launched before the end of 2016. The Board would constantly re-evaluate the investment portfolio of the Group to enhance shareholders’ value and strengthen the financial position of the Group.

Prospective investors should consult their own professional advisors on the tax implications of investing, holding or disposing of Shares under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are liable to taxation.
