Upon completion of the Equity Transfer, the Target Company will be wholly-owned by the Buyer, and accordingly, the Target Company will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and will cease to be consolidated in the audited consolidated accounts of the Company.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE EQUITY TRANSFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Based on the preliminary assessment on the unaudited financial information as at 31 August 2019, it is estimated that the Group will record a gain of approximately RMB2,456,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$2,729,000) as a result of the Equity Transfer, being the sale proceeds less the carrying amount of the net assets of the Target Company. The actual gain or loss as a result of the Equity Transfer to be recorded by the Group is subject to final audit to be performed by the auditors of the Company. The net proceeds from the transaction are intended to be used for the Group's business development and general working capital.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE EQUITY TRANSFER

The Group principally engages in the design, manufacture, and distribution of high-end integrated electrical distribution systems and solutions, and provides related value-added services.

The Target Company is a project based company set up for the purpose of constructing and holding a 10MWp photovoltaic power plant in Anda county, Heilongjiang province in the PRC. Photovoltaic power generation is a new source of energy which the PRC government encourages enterprises to invest in.

Investment in the development and construction of photovoltaic power plants require a high level of capital injection. As the implementation of photovoltaic power plants mainly involve obtaining approvals and carrying out construction work, private enterprises, such as our Group, are having an edge in such developments due to their flexibility. It is common that once construction of photovoltaic power plants is completed, central government-owned and state-owned enterprises would desire to acquire the same.

The Directors are of the view that, as compared with retaining the Target Company and operating the 10MWp photovoltaic power plant held by the Target Company, disposing the Target Company will enable the Group to quickly recover the capital injected into the Project and realise profits, improve the liquidity of the Group and allow the Group to promptly capture new opportunities by investing in other new projects in which the Group has an edge to develop as mentioned above.
