The actual gain or loss to be recorded might or might not be different given that the abovementioned estimate is based on the assets and liabilities of the Disposed Group as at 30 September 2014 which might be different from those on the date of Completion.

Immediately after Completion, the Group will not hold any equity interest in the Disposal Group, and each member of the Disposal Group (i.e. Jumbo Wealth, Chongqing Xujing, Yunnan He Da and Mianning Mao Yuan) will no longer be a subsidiary of the Company.

REASONS AND BENEFITS FOR ENTERING INTO THE SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Since 2013 the demand and price of rare earth products still remain low and the prospects of the rare earth market is an uncertainty. The Group started to rationalise the resources business in 2013 by considering the possibilities of restructuring the rare earth refinery and processing business, and made a plan to sell a group of subsidiaries that engaged in the rare earth refinery and processing business if the assets value would be better reflected by such a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. In June 2014, a non-binding letter of intent was entered into with the Purchaser, who has been since then conducting due diligence review of the business of the Disposal Group and the possible sale was subject to further negotiation between the parties.

During the six months ended 30 September 2014, the Group recorded a turnover of HK$14,253,000, representing a decrease of 20% compared with the six months ended 30 September 2013. The decline was mainly attributable to a temporary halt of the Group’s rare earth oxides production and hence there was no contribution from the resources business during the six months ended 30 September 2014. As discussed in the Company’s 2014 interim report, the Group has decided to halt its rare earth oxides production temporarily in order to reduce losses incurred by the business.

The Directors consider that the Disposal provides an opportunity to realise the Group’s investment in the Disposal Group and to take away the uncertainty facing the rare earth industry from the Group. It is expected that the overall cashflow and liquidity position of the Group will also improve upon completion of the Disposal.

10

Total Consideration is HK$340,000,000 in which (i) HK$280,000,000 is for the assignment of the Shareholder Loan; and (ii) the remaining proceeds of HK$60,000,000 is for the Disposal. Net proceeds from the Disposal, net of professional fees and relevant expenses, are expected to be HK$58,000,000. The Company intends to apply such net proceeds for the Group’s general working capital of the Group’s operation.

The main purpose of the arrangement in relation the Shareholder Loan is to ensure the Debts will be settled at Completion and therefore, the guarantees provided by the Company in favour of Jumbo Wealth under the Debts will accordingly be released at Completion. This would also substantially reduce the Company’s contingent liabilities.

The Directors further considered that the Disposal will greatly improve the financial position of the Company and hence its ability to focus its resources on opportunities that can provide sustainable and recurring benefits to the Group and thereby maximising the return to the Shareholders.

Base on the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) believe that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement (including the Consideration) are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

INFORMATION RELATING TO THE GROUP AND THE REMAINING GROUP

The Group is principally engaged in entertainment and gaming business, property business, gamma ray irradiation services and resources business.

Entertainment and Gaming Business

As underpinned in the Company’s 2014 annual report, the Group has been eyeing on opportunities to diversify into businesses providing steady income stream in order to enhance shareholders’ return in the long run. Following such strategy of diversification, the Group has proposed to invest in and develop the leisure, hospitality, tourism, entertainment and gaming related businesses (the “ Entertainment and Gaming Business ”), being a new business segment of the Group. The Group has set up an Entertainment and Gaming Division to explore opportunities in the Entertainment and Gaming Business, and our first initiative in this division is to develop the cruise ship business.

11

As disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 2 July 2014 (the “ Cruise Ship Announcement ”), the Group and Norvest Global Limited, an Independent Third Party, formed Star Sail Investments Limited (the “ JV Company ”) to acquire a cruise ship at a consideration of HK$93 million (the “ Ship Acquisition ”) by late August 2014. The JV Company was held as to 90% by Norvest Global Limited and as to 10% by the Group. After completion of the Ship Acquisition, the cruise ship was renamed as “REX Fortune”, and the Group commenced its cruise ship business in late August 2014 by way of providing services in respect of certain management functions and core operation of the cruise ship, as envisaged in the Cruise Ship Announcement.

For the purpose of providing such services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “ Manager ”), the JV Company (as the owner of REX Fortune) and the casino operator of REX Fortune (the “ Casino Operator ”, which is an Independent Third Party) (as appropriate) entered into agreements (the “ Management and Operation Agreements ”), pursuant to which, (1) the Manager will provide overall management and operation services in respect of REX Fortune (the “ Ship Management ”); and (2) the Casino Operator will manage the casino operation of REX Fortune (the “ Casino Operation ”), for an initial term of two years (renewable in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Management and Operation Agreements). The Ship Management includes crew management, technical management, commercial management, insurance arrangements etc.. Pursuant to the Management and Operation Agreements, (a) the Manager is entitled to receive (i) the income in connection with the room sales, boat fares, meals, duty free sales, and other services rendered to the customers or patrons of REX Fortune; and (ii) management fees from the Casino Operator (comprising of a basic fee and a performance-based amount in connection with the Casino Operation); and (b) the Manager is required to pay the JV Company a basic fee and a performance-based amount in connection with the Ship Management and the Casino Operation.

Since the commencement of the cruise ship business in late August 2014, turnover generated from the division was HK$11,075,000 which represented 77.7% of the Group’s turnover for the six months ended 30 September 2014. The division sustained a loss of approximately HK$3,623,000 for the six months ended 30 September 2014 mainly due to the start-up costs. It is noted that the operation of REX Fortune is ramping up. The profitability of the Entertainment and Gaming Business of the Group is expected to improve when it reaches full scale of operation.

The Company believes that the Entertainment and Gaming Business, after reaching full scale of operation, may be able to provide a stable recurring revenue stream to the Group, and create long-term values to the Shareholders.

12

Property Business

The Group’s property business includes property development, trading of building materials and provision of renovation services. During the six months ended 30 September 2014, the Group has not launched new property projects for sale and turnover of property business was HK$14,000. Segment loss narrowed down to HK$666,000 as a result of implementation of cost reduction initiatives during the six months ended 30 September 2014.

The Group will continue to focus on mixed use property development and investment in China to cater for end users’ demand for high quality residential and commercial properties as urbanisation continues to drive demand for property in China. The Group will continue to devote resources to land bank acquisitions and seek to identify premium land sites at the right opportunity. The Group will also explore opportunities in property development and investment in other regions to support the development of our other businesses.

Gamma Ray Irradiation Services

The Group’s gamma ray irradiation business is conducted through 淄博利源高科輻照技術 有限公司 (Zibo Liyuan Gamma Ray Technologies Co. Limited*), a 80% owned subsidiary of the Group which is licensed by Ministry of Environmental Protection of the PRC for the provision of irradiation services by utilising gamma ray technologies. Although global economic recovery remained slow during the six months ended 30 September 2014, demand for food irradiation and sterilisation of medical devices using gamma ray technologies had shown signs of stabilisation. The Group’s marketing effort in strengthening business relation with existing and new customers had borne some fruits. Turnover generated from the gamma ray irradiation services for the six months ended 30 September 2014 grew 11% to HK$3,164,000. Segment loss for the six months ended 30 September 2014 was reduced to HK$967,000.

In regards to gamma ray irradiation business, as application of gamma ray technologies in food irradiation has increased in recent years with increasing awareness of domestic food safety and hygiene standard, the Group will endeavour in ongoing services innovation, expansion of its services to new products with high margins, and sourcing of new clients. The Group will also strive to improve the productivity and efficiency of its production facilities.

13

Resources Business

During the six months period ended 30 September 2014, turnover from the segment was nil. The segment reported a loss of approximately HK$22,567,000 after the recognition of an impairment loss.

After completion of the Disposal, the Company will not own any assets in the resources business segment of the Group. However, the Company believes that the current downturn in the resources industry may provide opportunities for the Company to invest in potential resources projects with attractive valuation. It is expected that after completion of the Disposal, the Group will continue to review this business segment with reference to the market situation and may further explore opportunities related to the value chain of the resources industry from upstream, midstream to downstream.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios set out in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Disposal are 75% or more, the Disposal constitutes a very substantial disposal of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules, the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are therefore subject to the announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements.

An SGM will be convened and held to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. Hondex and its associate(s), if any, will abstain from voting on the resolution(s) approving the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the SGM.

As additional time is required to prepare and finalise the financial information for inclusion in the circular, the despatch date of the circular is expected to be postponed to a date on or before 24 December 2014.

14

Completion of the Disposal is conditional upon the satisfaction or, if applicable, waiver of the conditions set out in the section headed “Conditions Precedent” in this announcement, including the approval of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder by Shareholders at the SGM.
