INFORMATION ON THE TARGET COMPANY

The Target Company is a company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability. It is principally engaged in the business of providing an online travel product booking platform and is one of the top ten online travel agents in Hong Kong. As at the date of this announcement, the Target Company is wholly-owned by the Vendor.

The Target Company was founded by a team of travel professionals with most of the founders having more than 20 years experiences in the industry. The platform provides travel products in “one stop service”, not only from over 400 affiliated airlines but also more than 200,000 hotel room selections and travel insurance. It collaborates with different global airlines to obtain special offer to the Target Company’s clients. It offers 18-hour long “in-person” service a day, and 24-hour on-line booking service. The highest hit-rate of the platform was 150,000 times per day. The Target Company is going to launch low-cost carrier products to diversify its travel products.

The Target Company’s online booking system is powered by the latest Universal API technology, which is capable of returning a search query within five seconds on average. Its system is also going to have a new function of price comparison between different travel agents. The Target Company has adopted marketing strategies so as to strengthen its reputation and customer confidence. The Target Company has engaged Ms. Mak Ling Ling, a popular Feng Shui master, as its spokesperson and has TV media coverage on Viu TV, which has the same target audience as the Target Company.

As at the date of this announcement, the Target Company is a 100% Hong Kong local travel agent and is registered with the Travel Agents Registry of Hong Kong.

Financial information of the Target Company

Based on the unaudited financial information of the Target Company, as at 30 June 2016, the total asset value and net liabilities of the Target Company were HK$4,408,054.30 and HK$1,041,560.13 respectively.

	For the
	period from
	28 January
	2015 to
	31 December
	2015
	HK$
	(audited)
Net loss before taxation and extraordinary items	1,304,525
Net loss after taxation and extraordinary items	1,322,842

Upon Completion, the Group will hold 75% equity interest in the Target Company and the financial results of the Target Company will be consolidated into the Group’s financial information.

REASONS FOR THE TRANSACTION

The Company has always had a view that the global economic recovery will continue to remain sluggish. In particular, “Brexit” and the upcoming changes in global leaderships has added significant uncertainty to an already fragile global recovery. Nevertheless, the management of the Group believes that opportunities co-exist with challenges. The Group aims to continue to diversify its business to reduce the negative impact of the current global economy on its core businesses. In the meantime, the Group will also strengthen its existing core businesses.

Currently, the Group’s tourism and hospitality business is running on a traditional model which heavily relies on the operation of a cruise ship. The acquisition of the Target Company which has an online platform in booking travel products will help to strengthen the Group’s tourism and hospitality business, while it will also provide synergy to and strengthen its existing cruise ship operation business.

11

Furthermore, it is expected that the investment in the Target Company will have positive impact on the mobile technologies business of the Group as the Target Company’s travel application function can also benefit the development of YotaPhone by the Group. Accordingly, the Transaction will promote the Group’s tourism and hospitality business as well as its mobile technologies business and will help create a dynamic business model generating synergies between the two business segments, and ultimately bring growth to the Group’s existing business with a view of generating promising returns to the Shareholders.

Accordingly, the Directors are of the view that the Transaction is conducted on normal commercial terms, is fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Shareholders are concerned and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATION

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) for the Transaction exceeds 5% and all of the applicable percentage ratios are below 25%, the Transaction constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company and is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
