Net loss after taxation | (19,074) | (10,836) |
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL
The Group has been actively taking steps in developing an integrated financial services as a promising principal line of business. Whilst the Company remains optimistic and confident about the business prospect of the Purchaser (as evidenced by the improving financial performance of the Purchaser for the period ended 30 June 2020), the Company considers the Disposal as a good opportunity for the Company realising the private investment to enhance its flexibility and liquidity to reallocate resources to explore its integrated financial services business with the objective to maximising the return to the Shareholders.
The Company had been negotiating the terms of the Disposal with the Purchaser since June 2020 and it was previously offered by the Purchaser to settle the consideration by non-cash payment but the parties were unable to reach agreement on the terms thereof. Eventually the parties agree to settle the consideration by cash. The terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement were determined after arm's length negotiations and based on normal commercial terms. The Directors consider that the terms and conditions of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL
The Group is expected to recognise a loss of approximately HK$5,604,000 (subject to audit) upon the Completion, which represents the fair value of the Group's investment of HK$47,724,000 less the Consideration of HK$42,120,000.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As one of the applicable percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Disposal exceeds 5% but is less than 25%, the Disposal constitutes discloseable transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to the notification and announcement requirements set out in Rule 14.34 of the Listing Rules.
