The Swank Group is principally engaged in the design, manufacture and marketing of frames, sunglasses and lenses. The audited consolidated net profit before and after taxation and minority interests of Swank for the year ended 31 December 2002 were approximately HK$10,763,000 and approximately HK$10,141,000 respectively. The audited consolidated net loss before and after taxation and minority interests of Swank for the year ended 31 December 2003 were approximately HK$8,401,000 and approximately HK$7,054,000 respectively. The unaudited consolidated net loss before and after taxation and minority interests of Swank for the six months ended 30 June 2004 were approximately HK$802,000 and approximately HK$1,844,000 respectively. The unaudited consolidated net liability of Swank as at 30 June 2004 amounted to approximately HK$61,815,000. Further to the disposal of TIHL Group's 19% interest in Swank as announced in the joint announcement of TIHL and Swank dated 29 December 2003, the directors of TIHL consider the entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement will provide an opportunity for the TIHL Group to further realise its investment in Swank. Upon completion of the Disposal, Swank will cease to be the subsidiary of either Probest or TIHL. The directors of TIHL believe that the terms of the Disposal (including the terms of the Shareholders Agreement and the TIHL Deed) and the Loan Restructuring Agreement, which is part and parcel of the Disposal, are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the shareholders of TIHL as a whole. Upon completion of the Disposal and the conditional Loan Restructuring Agreement, the TIHL Group will realise a gain of approximately HK$43 million since Swank is a net liability company and its carrying value on TIHL's balance sheet is nil. The proceeds from the Disposal of approximately HK$43 million will be used as general working capital of the TIHL Group.
