09:38 KIU HUNG INT'L<00381> - Announcement (4) As Sangyang Spandex has not commenced any operation, the Directors believe that the Disposal would have negligible impact on the business operations of the Group. According to the Joint Venture Agreement, Huge Profit, Sinochem International Company Limited, Sangyang Textile Co. Ltd. and Harvest City Enterprises Limited are required to pay the whole amount of their respective capital contribution towards the registered capital of Sangyang Spandex on or before 12 July 2004. However, other than Sangyang Textile Co. Ltd., the parties to the Joint Venture Agreement have not made their respective capital contribution within the payment schedule as set out in the Joint Venture Agreement. As Huge Profit, Sinochem International Company Limited and Harvest City Enterprises Limited have not fully paid up their respective capital contribution and the parties to the Joint Venture Agreement intend to consider the timetable for the construction of the production facilities of Sangyang Spandex after all the capital contributions have been fully paid up, the parties are unable to agree on the timetable for the construction of the production facilities of Sangyang Spandex. As the parties to the Joint Venture Agreement cannot mutually agree with a revised schedule of capital contributions and no expected timetable for the construction of the production facilities of Sangyang Spandex has been agreed after more than one year from the date of establishment of Sangyang Spandex, the Directors believe that the Disposal provides an opportunity for the Group to liquidate its investment in Sangyang Spandex and to re-allocate its internal resources to other operations of the Group. Save for the Disposal, the Directors have no present intention to dispose of the Company's other subsidiaries. FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL The net proceeds arising from the Disposal, after deducting the related expenses, will amount to approximately HK$13,800,000 and will be used by the Group for general working capital purposes. Based on the unaudited management account of Huge Profit for the year ended 31 December 2004, it is estimated that the Group will record a gain on disposal of approximately HK$1,605,000 upon Completion which will be reflected in the consolidated profit and loss account of the Company for the year ending 31 December 2005. The gain on disposal is calculated based on the disposal of the net liabilities of Huge Profit of approximately HK$1,605,000.
