DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION

On 24 July 2020, the Purchaser, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Vendor entered into the Share Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to acquire, and the Vendor agreed to dispose of, the Sale Shares, representing 19.8% of the equity interest in the Target Company, at a consideration of RMB220,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$239,000,000).

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios, calculated by reference to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules, exceeds 5% and all the applicable percentage ratios are less than 25%, the Acquisition constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under Rule 14.06(2) of the Listing Rules and is subject to the announcement requirement but is exempt from the circular and Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

TERMINATION OF THE PRODUCT TRADING BUSINESS

The Board announces on a voluntary basis that the Product Trading Business has been adversely impacted by the combined effect of the escalating trade tensions between the United States and the PRC, the global economic downturn and the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). As a result of the deteriorating operating environment, sales of the Product Trading Business continue to fall significantly in 2020. It is uncertain when the situation will be improved and when the global consumer market will recover. Under such circumstances, the Company has decided to terminate the Product Trading Business in the second half of 2020 after all its outstanding orders on hand are completed. In respect of the financial year ended 31 December 2019, the Group reported revenue of HK$283 million, of which HK$149 million was contributed by the Product Trading Business. In 2019, the Group recorded a net loss of HK$168 million attributable to owner of the parent, of which an operating loss of HK$17 million was attributable to the Product Trading Business. As the Product Trading Business is loss-making, it is expected that the termination of this business will not have any significant adverse impact on the operating results or financial position of the Group.

TERMINATION OF THE COMPONENT MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT AND THE CHILD PRODUCT SUPPLY AGREEMENT

Reference is made to the Company's announcements dated 15 November 2018 and 5 December 2018 and the circular dated 12 December 2018 in relation to the continuing connected transactions contemplated under the Component Manufacturing Agreement and the Child Product Supply Agreement. The term of each of the Component Manufacturing Agreement and the Child Product Supply Agreement was three years commencing from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2021.

As the Product Trading Business will be terminated, the Group no longer needs supply of the Component Products and there is no outstanding order under the Component Manufacturing Agreement. As such, in accordance with the terms of the Component Manufacturing Agreement, on 24 July 2020, the Company served a six-month prior written notice to CCT Fortis to terminate the Component Manufacturing Agreement with effect from 24 January 2021.

The CCT Fortis Group has not placed new orders for supply of Child Products for a few months and there is no outstanding order under the Child Product Supply Agreement. The

As a result of the Notices, the continuing connected transactions for the Company contemplated under the Agreements will be terminated with effect from 24 January 2021.

Consideration

The consideration for the Acquisition of RMB220,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$239,000,000) was determined after arm's length negotiations between the Vendor and the Purchaser, based on the unaudited total adjusted net asset value of the Target Group and was arrived at as follows:

Completion

Completion took place on the date of the Share Purchase Agreement, which is the Completion Date.

Post Completion management and funding of the Project

The Vendor will continue to hold 80.2% shareholding interest in the Target Company after Completion. As such, members of the Target Group will continue to be subsidiaries of the Vendor after Completion. Therefore, members of the Target Group will not be subsidiaries of the Company.

The Vendor will continue to control the appointment of the board of directors of each member of the Target Group. The Purchaser will not have any right to nominate director to any member of the Target Group. However, the Purchaser can appoint one person to attend the board meetings of members of the Target Group as an observer. The Project will be managed by the senior management team appointed by the board of directors of the members of the Target Group.

The Target Group will be responsible for arranging and raise funds for the Project and its operations. The Purchaser will not be required to contribute any funding to the Project and the ongoing operations of the Target Group in accordance with its shareholding ratio in the Target Company.

INFORMATION ON THE VENDOR, THE TARGET GROUP AND THE PROJECT

To the best of the knowledge and belief of the Board, the Vendor is an investment holding company, the entire issued capital of which is beneficially owned by Mr. Zhang Yuchang, who is a Chinese national.

The Target Company is a company incorporated on 15 May 2020 in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability. The Target Group was engaged in the production of telecom, electronic and the Child Products for supply to the Product Trading Business. The production business of the Target Group was acquired by the Vendor from the Company in 2017. Due to the deteriorating operating environment, sales of the Product Trading Business fell significantly in the past few years and this has adversely impacted the production business of the Target Group. As a result, the Target Group has incurred significant losses in the past three years. Under such circumstances, the Target Group has ceased its production business and the Industrial Properties have become dormant. The Target Group has decided to redevelop the Industrial Properties and detailed redevelopment plan of the Project has been drawn up. The Project is designed to be a composite redevelopment of the Industrial Properties into residential properties, retail shops, car parks and ancillary schools. The Project is a major redevelopment project in the Huiyang District of Huizhou City as the total investment of the Project is estimated to exceed RMB3 billion (equivalent to approximately HK$3.3 billion). The Target Group intends to sell all the redeveloped properties of the Project except the schools which will be retained by the Target Group to generate recurrent income.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

Set out below is the summary of the key financial information extracted from the unaudited combined accounts of the Target Group (excluding the Target Company as it was incorporated in May 2020) for the years ended 31 December 2019 and 2018:

	For the year ended 31 December
	2019	2018
	HK$'000	HK$'000
Loss before tax	63,055	69,494
Loss after tax	63,055	69,494

The Target Company was incorporated on 15 May 2020 as an investment holding company of the Target Group. It does not have any other assets and liabilities.

The unaudited book value of the total assets of the Target Group as at 31 December 2019 was approximately HK$322 million. The unaudited adjusted net asset value of the Target Group as at 31 December 2019 was approximately HK$277 million (excluding the shareholder's loan which was capitalised after 31 December 2019). The unaudited adjusted net asset value of HK$277 million comprised the unaudited book value of the Industrial Properties of approximately HK$227 million and the unaudited adjusted net asset value of the other assets of the Target Group of approximately HK$50 million (excluding the Shareholder's loan which was capitalised after 31 December 2019). The Vendor has confirmed that there are no material adverse changes to the financial position of the Target Group since 31 December 2019.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Company has been proactive in seeking appropriate investment opportunities in the Greater Bay Area. The Company has reviewed the redevelopment plan of the Project and considers that the Project represents a good investment opportunity for the Company due to the following reasons:

1. The Project is large in scale and is a major redevelopment project in the Huiyang District of Huizhou City, which is one of the cities of the Greater Bay Area.
2. The total investment of the Project is estimated to be RMB3 billion (equivalent to approximately HK$3.3 billion). Based on the redevelopment plan of the Project, the Project is expected to generate substantial sales revenue of total amount more than doubling the total investments of the Project. In addition to sales revenue, the schools will be retained by the Target Group to generate recurrent income. The prospect of the Project is promising.
3. Other than the Consideration, the Company will not be required to contribute additional funding to the ongoing operations of the Target Group, which will be responsible for arranging and raising all the funding for the Project. This will limit the funding requirement of the Company to only equal to the Consideration, even though the total investments of the Project are huge.
4. • 6 －

1. The Consideration represents a discount of approximately 35% to the total adjusted net asset value of the Target Group attributable to the Sale Shares, details of which are set out in the sub-section headed "Consideration" under the section headed "DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION" of this announcement.
2. The Vendor's group is a reputable and well-established property developer in Huizhou and has successfully developed several property projects in Huizhou. In respect of certain property projects in Huizhou, the Vendor's group has cooperated with a state-owned property developer in China and it is noted that their cooperation relationship has been good. Although the Group is engaged in property development in Anshan City, Liaoning Province, it has not much experience in property development or redevelopment projects in the Greater Bay Area. The Acquisition will provide a good opportunity for the Group to gain property development experience in the Greater Bay Area, which intend to lay a good foundation for the Group to make further investments in the property projects in the Greater Bay Area.

On the above bases, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement and the Acquisition are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

None of the Directors has any material interest in the Share Purchase Agreement and the Acquisition and therefore, none of them was required to abstain from voting on the Board resolution(s) which approved the Share Purchase Agreement and the Acquisition.

1. property development business; (ii) finance business; and (iii) the Product Trading Business, which will be terminated in the second half of 2020.
