INFORMATION OF THE PURCHASER
The Purchaser is a company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability and is principally engaged in investment holding.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL
As a result of the keen competition from other hotels in Zhaoqing, PRC, the Group’s hotel business was loss-making over the past few years. As disclosed in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2012, the Group’s hotel operation recorded a loss of HK$34.6 million including an impairment loss on hotel assets of approximately HK$15 million. As stated in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2012, the business recorded a turnover of HK$71 million and a loss of HK$47 million. The loss was mainly due to impairment of property, plant and equipment of HK$1.7 million, depreciation of its assets of HK$21 million and impairment and amortisation of payments for leasehold land held for own use under operating leases of about HK$20 million.
Due to the adjustment of investment strategies, the Group intends to invest in other areas such as provision of copyright license fee settlement and collection services in respect of karaoke music products and videos in the PRC. Apart from license fee collection business, the Board will continue to explore other potential investment opportunities so as to broaden the

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
business horizon of the Company. The Board considers that the Disposal is in line with the business strategy of the Group as it allows the Group to divest its investment in the Target Company and reallocate its resources to other investment opportunities which may generate a better return. The Group also considers the Disposal as an opportunity to bring in cash flow under the circumstance. However, the Board does not rule out the possibility of making further investment in hotel business in the foreseeable future if such investment opportunity arises.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, no potential investment opportunity has been identified and/or under negotiation.
FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL
Based on the unaudited financial statement of the Target Company as at 31 December 2012, the Disposal is expected to record an estimated profit of approximately HK$26,309,738 for the Group (subject to audit) (i.e. being the difference between the Consideration, the net liability value of the Target Company and the Shareholder’s Loan after taking into consideration the accounting adjustments).
Assets, liabilities and earnings
Upon Completion, the Company will not hold any interest in the Target Company and the Target Company will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company. The financial results of the Target Company will cease to be consolidated into the accounts of the Group. Based on the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 March 2012, the total assets and total liabilities of the Group as at 31 March 2012 was approximately HK$1,531,388,849 and HK$585,056,303 respectively. Assuming the Disposal had been completed on 31 March 2012, the total assets and total liabilities of the Group as at 31 March 2012 would have been approximately HK$1,485,517,795 and HK$544,959,197 respectively. The total comprehensive loss of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2012 was approximately HK$273,258,074. Taking into account the estimated loss of the Disposal of approximately HK$5,773,948 (as the Disposal Group was operating at a loss and impairment loss on hotel assets were made during the period from 1 April 2012 to 31 December 2012, the net asset value decreased and therefore, a loss of HK$5,773,948 on the Disposal would be recorded if the Disposal had been completed on 31 March 2012 as compared to an estimated profit of HK$26,309,738 as stated in the above paragraph headed “Financial effect of the disposal”), the total comprehensive loss of the Group would have been approximately HK$279,032,022 upon Completion.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Proceeds of the Disposal are intended to be applied for investment as opportunities arise and/or for general working capital of the Group. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has not entered into any agreements or arrangements in relation to further investments.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As the relevant percentage ratio for the Disposal under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules exceeds 25% but is below 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction for the Company and is subject to reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
In the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 March 2012, it was mentioned that Tian He Wen Hua Group Holdings Limited (天合文化集團有限公司) (“Tian He”) was owned equally by Shenzhen Hua Rong Sheng Shi Investment Management Company Limited (深圳市 華融盛世投資管理有限公司) (“Shenzhen Hua Rong”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and China Culture Development Digital Technology Co., Ltd. (北京中文發數字科技 有限公司) (“CCDDT”). Tian He has entered into a licensing agreement with CCDDT pursuant to which Tian He was granted an exclusive right to use CCDDT’s karaoke content management service system (the “Karaoke CMS”) for the provision of copyright transaction settlement services and the right to develop related value added services in the PRC for a term of 10 years from 15 July 2007. The system connects its data centre to karaoke venues to supervise and keep track of karaoke music videos played in these venues. As a result of a disagreement with CCDDT on the operation and future development of the business, there were delays in rollout of copyright licence fees settlement and collection services in respect of karaoke music products and videos in various provinces in the PRC. On 22 June 2011, Shenzhen Hua Rong started arbitration proceedings in Beijing, against CCDDT for its breach of the terms of a shareholders’ agreement (the “Shareholder’s Agreement”) dated 15 July 2007 and an agreement entered into in 2007 (the “Share Transfer Agreement”) for the transfer of 20% of the registered capital of Tian He by Shenzhen Hua Rong to CCDDT to claim for termination of the Shareholders’ Agreement, return of the 20% interest in Tian He and damages of RMB10 million. According to the arbitral award dated 30 July 2012, it was ruled that the Shareholder’s Agreement and the Share Transfer Agreement would be terminated and CCDDT shall return the 20% interest in Tian He to Shenzhen Hua Rong within 20 days from the delivery of the arbitral award. The share transfer was completed in October 2012. Following Tian He arbitration proceedings, the Directors will commit to the improvement of its business in copyright licence fee settlement and collection. The Directors believe the overall licence fee collection business will gradually yield income to the Group.
Property sub-leasing business
BoRen Cultural Development Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, holds 60% interest in three subsidiaries engaged in sub-leasing of properties and facilities in Nanjing, the PRC. The Group’s sub-leasing business is expected to continue to contribute stable income to the Group.

Dear Sirs,
Re: Dynasty Hotel, No. 9 Duan Zhou Wu Road, Zhaoqing, Guangdong Province, PRC (the “Property”)
In accordance with your instructions for us to value the Property held by Culture Landmark Investment Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the “Group”) situated in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), we confirm that we have carried out an inspection, made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of value of the Property as at 31 March 2013 (“date of valuation”) for circular purpose.
Our valuation of the Property is our opinion of its market value which is defined as “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.
In valuing the Property, we have assumed that transferable land use rights in respect of the Property for its specific terms at nominal land use fee have been granted and that all requisite land premium payable has been fully settled. We have also assumed that the owner of the Property has an enforceable title to the Property and has free and uninterrupted rights to use, occupy or assign the Property for the whole of the unexpired term as granted.
We have valued the Property, which is held for owner-operation by the Group, by direct comparison method with reference to sales evidence as available on the market.

APPENDIX II
We have been provided with copies of extracts of title documents relating to the Property. However, we have not searched the original documents to verify the ownership or to ascertain the existence of any amendments which may not appear on the copies provided to us. We have relied to a very considerable extent on information given by the Company and its PRC legal adviser, Z & T Law Firm, on the title to the Property. We have also accepted advice on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, particulars of occupancy, trading accounts, site and floor areas and all other relevant matters. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificate are based on information contained in the documents and leases provided by the Company to us and are therefore only approximations. No on-site measurements have been taken. We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company, which is material to our valuation. We have also sought confirmation from the Company that no material facts have been omitted from the information supplied.
We have inspected the exterior and wherever possible, the interior of the Property. During the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. However, no structural survey has been made, we are therefore unable to report whether the Property is free from rot, infestation or any other defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services.
No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the Property nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the Property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect its value.
The site inspection was carried out on 22 April 2013 by Mr. Tom C P Chow, who is a China Registered Real Estate Appraiser and China Registered Land Valuer.
In valuing the Property, we have complied with the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.
Unless otherwise stated, all monetary amounts stated in our valuation are in Renminbi (“RMB”).

Yours faithfully,
For and on behalf of
