As at 31 March 2019, the unaudited net asset value of the Target Company (adjusted for the fair value gain of the Property) based on the unaudited financial statements of the Target Company prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in Hong Kong was approximately HK$4,880,000.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL

Upon Completion, the Group will cease to have any interests in the Target Company, and the financial results of the Target Company will no longer be consolidated in the financial statements of the Group.

Based on the preliminary assessment on the unaudited financial information of the Target Company, the Group will record a book loss of approximately HK$3,409,000 as a result of the Disposal, which is calculated based on (i) the net asset value of the Target Company (adjusted for the fair value gain of the Property) and the estimated expenses in connection with the Disposal; (ii) the amount of the Sale Loan; and (iii) the Consideration. Taking into account of the fair value gain of HK$5,000,000 for the acquisition of the Property, the Company is expected to record a net gain of approximately HK$1,591,000 after the relevant expenses relating to the acquisition of the Property and the Disposal, which is subject to final audit to be performed by the auditors of the Company. Based on the Consideration of HK$82,820,000 and the associated estimated expenses of the Disposal of approximately HK$1,183,000, the Company is expected to receive net proceeds of approximately HK$81,637,000 from the Disposal. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Disposal for potential acquisition and investment should opportunities arise and as general working capital of the Group.

Accordingly, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Provisional SP Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
