CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.

Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Group’s revenue comprises services and related fees for the provision of visual display solutions services and income from equipment rental. It derives revenue mostly from services provided in Hong Kong, with less than 10% of revenue derived from activities conducted outside Hong Kong.

FY2021 vs FY2020

The Group’s total revenue decreased by 72.5% from approximately HK$44.7 million for FY2020 to approximately HK$12.3 million for FY2021. Revenue from the provision of visual display solutions services were approximately HK$44.4 million and approximately HK$12.0 million respectively, which accounted for 99.3% and 97.6% of the Group’s total revenue for FY2020 and FY2021 respectively while equipment rental income for FY2020 and FY2021 remained stable at approximately HK$0.3 million, which contributed approximately 0.7% and 2.4% of the Group’s total revenue respectively. As disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report, the decrease in revenue for FY2021 was mainly attributable to (i) significant drop of the average revenue per show by 76.2% for the pop concerts and other live events undertaken by the Group during the FY2021; and (ii) the number of pop concerts undertaken by the Group decreased from 269 for FY2020 to 65 for FY2021.

In line with the substantial decrease in revenue, the Group recorded gross loss of approximately HK$22.5 million for FY2021 as compared to gross profit of approximately HK$2.7 million for FY2020 and an increase in loss for the year from approximately HK$24.3 million for FY2020 to approximately HK$35.1 million for FY2021.

As at 31 May 2021, the Group had total assets of approximately HK$101.1 million which comprised mainly property, plant and equipment of approximately HK$74.6 million; and prepayments, deposits and other receivables of approximately HK$15.5 million. The Group’s total liabilities amounted to approximately HK$30.8 million as at 31 May 2021 which mainly included other payables and accrued liabilities of approximately HK$13.8 million, bank borrowings of approximately HK$9.5 million and lease liabilities of approximately HK$5.4 million.

Net assets attributable to owners of the Company decreased by approximately HK$34.9 million from approximately HK$105.6 million as at 31 May 2020 to approximately HK$70.7 million as at 31 May 2021, due mainly to the increase in loss of approximately HK$35.1 million for FY2021.

HY2021/22 vs HY2020/21

The Group’s total revenue increased by 261.8% from approximately HK$3.4 million for HY2020/21 to approximately HK$12.3 million for HY2021/22. Revenue from the provision of visual display solutions service were approximately HK$3.4 million and approximately HK$11.7 million respectively, which accounted for 99.5% and 95.0% of the Group’s total revenue for HY2020/21 and HY2021/22 respectively while equipment

– 29 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

rental income for each of HY2020/21 and HY2021/22 was approximately HK$16,000 and HK$619,000, representing 0.5% and 5.0% of the Group’s total revenue for the respective periods. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to (i) the increase in the number of both pop concerts (i.e. from 29 for HY2020/21 to 49 for HY2021/22) and other live events (i.e. from 677 for HY2020/21 to 739 for HY2021/22) undertaken by the Group during HY2021/22; (ii) the average revenue per show for pop concerts and other live events undertaken by the Group tripled during HY2021/22.

Due to the increase in revenue during HY2021/22, the Group reported reduction in gross loss from approximately HK$12.5 million for HY2020/21 to approximately HK$4.6 million for HY2021/22 and an improvement in loss for the year from loss of HK$18.7 million for HY2020/2021 to loss of approximately HK$9.1 million for HY2021/2022.

As at 30 November 2021, the Group had total assets of approximately HK$97.0 million which comprised mainly property, plant and equipment of approximately HK$69.0 million; and prepayments, deposits and other receivables of approximately HK$13.3 million. The Group’s total liabilities amounted to approximately HK$35.7 million as at 30 November 2021 which mainly included other payables and accrued liabilities of approximately HK$16.3 million, bank borrowings of approximately HK$11.1 million and lease liabilities of approximately HK$5.3 million.

The Group recorded net assets attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$61.7 million, representing a decrease of approximately HK$9.0 million as compared to that of 31 May 2021. The decrease in net assets was mainly due to the increase in loss of approximately HK$9.0 million for HY2021/22.

Independent Auditor’s Opinion

Based on the independent auditor’s report of the Company for the year ended 31 May 2021, the independent auditor of the Company pointed out that (i) the Group’s operations were adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the COVID-19 restrictions and control measures; (ii) the Group incurred a net loss of approximately HK$35.1 million and net cash used in operating activities of approximately HK$8.0 million for the year ended 31 May 2021; and (iii) as at 31 May 2021, the Group had net current liabilities of approximately HK$12.1 million and maintained cash and cash equivalents of approximately HK$1.2 million, and was of the view that all the above indicated the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The opinion of the independent auditor of the Company in respect of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 May 2021 was not modified in respect thereof.

In addition, the Company stated in the 2021 Annual Report that whether the Group will be able to continue as a going concern depends upon the Group’s ability to generate adequate operating cash inflows through (i) gradual resumption of business with further easing of controls measures related to COVID-19 and as anticipated by the Management to generate sufficient operating cash inflows; (ii) successful collection of overdue trade receivables in the expected timeframe; (iii) successful in draw down of the banking

– 30 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

facilities as and when needed; and (iv) successful implementation of various cost saving measures and control of capital expenditures when necessary (the ‘‘Plans and Measures’’). Based on our discussion with the Management, we have been advised that the Plans and Measures have been carried out by the Group as planned, the Directors are confident that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and the Group’s business, as evidenced by the substantial increase in revenue and reduction in loss for HY2021/22, is expected to improve with the recovery of the COVID-19 situation in Hong Kong as discussed in the section headed ‘‘3. Outlook of the Group’’ below.

Nevertheless, we consider that despite the improvement in the financial results for HY2021/22, the Group continued to record loss for HY2021/22 and net current liabilities of HK$12.5 million as at 30 November 2021 and it remains unsure whether the Group can achieve turnaround results and improve its financial performance and position consistently in the long run. In addition, the prospects of the Group’s business, despite certain positive developments as discussed in the section headed ‘‘3. Outlook of the Group’’ below, remain uncertain as it is yet to be clear whether any synergy effects between the Group and the Offeror as discussed in the section headed ‘‘4. Background Information of the Offeror’’ below in this letter will materialise. Should the Group be unable to operate as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made to reduce the carrying values of the Group’s assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for financial liabilities which might arise, and to reclassify non-current assets and noncurrent liabilities as current assets and current liabilities, respectively in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

In view of the above, the Independent Shareholders should closely monitor the market price and liquidity of the Shares during the Offer Period and carefully consider the relevant risks and uncertainties based on their individual risk preference and tolerance level. Those Independent Shareholders who decide to retain part or all of their investments in the Shares should also carefully monitor the financial performance of the Group as well as the intention of the Offeror in relation to the Group in the future (further details have been set out in the section headed ‘‘4. Background Information of the Offeror’’ in this letter), and the potential difficulties they may encounter in disposing of their investments in the Shares after the close of the Offer.

3. Outlook of the Group

The Group is a visual display solution provider specialised in visual display effects and equipment for pop concerts, corporate events and exhibitions in Hong Kong, Macau and Greater China region.

As disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report, the Group’s business has been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Shows and events were forced to postpone, reschedule or cancel, which resulted in a significant drop in the Group’s revenue for FY2021. For HY2021/22, although the Group’s business has been gradually recovering with increasing numbers of shows undertaken by the Group during HY2021/22 as a result of the easing of

– 31 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

social distancing measures in Hong Kong, lower marginal benefits on profitability was noted as the average revenue per show undertaken by the Group was still far lower than the preCOVID period. In light of the above and based on our discussion with the Management, with the resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic in Hong Kong since early 2022, it is no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to cast a shadow over the Group’s business in the short term. Given the recent announcement made by the Hong Kong Government regarding the gradual relaxation of the anti-pandemic measures from late April 2022 and that the Financial Secretary of Hong Kong has recently expressed his confidence that the situation in Hong Kong will be much improved by the end of 2022, the Group will seize the opportunities from the expected rebound of the demand for pop concerts, exhibitions and other live performances in Hong Kong after the pandemic is under control, and thus improve its business.

With the outlook the Group’s business of the traditional shows and events remains weak, as disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report, the Group has started and continues to explore a new business opportunity arising from the popular demand of streaming online concerts and extended reality (xR) shows/events with extensive usage of visual displays with visual effects (‘‘xR Solutions’’). Since 2020, the Group has cooperated with various artists for the provision of xR Solutions services in virtual concerts and music TVs and the Group considers that this new technology can be brought into the entertainment or even the TV and filming industry with a view to extending the Group’s services into different markets and thus broaden the income stream of the Group.

The Group has noted an increasing demand for the application of xR Solutions in the entertainment business. The Company is of the view that, with the gradual recovery of the COVID-19 situation in Hong Kong and the new xR Solutions business opportunities, the Group’s business will improve so as its growth prospects.

Based on the above, we consider that the Group has business plans in place to take advantage of opportunities on the new markets and its business condition and growth prospects will be benefited from the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic situation. However, due to the expected changes in the composition of the Board and there is no plan for future business direction or investments laid out by the Offeror as discussed in the section headed ‘‘4. Background Information of the Offeror’’ below, there is uncertainty as to the prospects and outlook of the business of the Group.

4. Background Information of the Offeror

The Offeror

The Offeror is a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability and is an investment holding company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the sole beneficial shareholder and sole director of the Offeror was Mr. Ma who is a professional investor. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Ma was the supervisor of 深圳市前海中 宇國際資產管理有限公司 (Shenzhen Qianhai Zhongyu International Asset Management Co., Ltd.*) which is principally engaged in investment and asset management.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Intention of the Offeror in relation to the Group

As disclosed in the Letter from Rainbow Capital in the Composite Document, the Offeror intends to continue the existing businesses of the Group. The Offeror has no plan to inject any assets or businesses into the Group or to procure the Group to acquire or dispose of any assets immediately after the close of the Offer. Following the close of the Offer, the Offeror will conduct a detailed review of the business operations and financial position of the Group for the purpose of formulating business plans and strategies for the future business development of the Group and explore other investment or business opportunities to diversify the business of the Group with an objective to broaden its income source. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no such investment or business opportunity had been identified. The Offeror has no intention to terminate the employment of any employees of the Group or to make significant changes to any employment (except for the proposed change of the Board composition as detailed in the sub-section headed ‘‘Proposed change to the composition of the Board’’ below).

Proposed change to the composition of the Board

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board consists of five Directors, comprising two executive Directors, namely Mr. Yeung Ho Ting Dennis and Mr. Tam Chun Yu; and three independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Li Kai Sing, Mr. Ma Tsz Chun and Ms. Loh Lai Ping Phillis.

It is expected that all the independent non-executive Directors will resign from the Board with effect from the earliest time permitted under the Takeovers Code. It is expected that each of Mr. Yeung Ho Ting Dennis and Mr. Tam Chun Yu will remain as a Director after the close of the Offer.

The Offeror intends to nominate new executive and/or non-executive Directors for appointment to the Board with effect from the earliest time permitted under the Takeovers Code. The Offeror confirmed that as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Offeror had not identified any candidate(s) for the new Director(s) (executive and/or nonexecutive) to be appointed to the Board. Any changes to the members of the Board will be made in compliance with the Takeovers Code, the GEM Listing Rules and the articles of association of the Company and a further announcement will be made as and when appropriate.

Public float and maintaining the listing status of the Company

The Offeror intends that the Company shall remain listed on the Stock Exchange after the close of the Offer. Pursuant to the GEM Listing Rules, if, after the close of the Offer, less than the minimum prescribed percentage applicable to the Company, being 25%, of the issued Shares are held by the public or if the Stock Exchange believes that: (i) a false market exists or may exist in the trading of the Shares; or (ii) there are insufficient Shares in public hands to maintain an orderly market, the Stock Exchange

– 33 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

may exercise its discretion to suspend trading in the Shares. The Offeror will take appropriate steps to ensure that sufficient public float as required under the GEM Listing Rules exists for the Shares after the close of the Offer. Based on the above, we note that the Company’s listing status will be maintained and the Independent Shareholders who do not accept the Offer will continue to be able to trade their Shares through the market after the close of the Offer.

As noted from the biographical details of the Offeror disclosed in the Letter from Rainbow Capital, the Offeror does not possess prior experience in the same industry as the Group. We note that each of Mr. Yeung Ho Ting Dennis, and Mr. Tam Chun Yu (both are the existing executive Directors) will remain as a Director after the close of the Offer, and we are of the view that both of them will continue to provide positive inputs to the Group’s future business development. Also, no material changes in terms of the business and operations are expected after the close of the Offer. There appears no material concern of the Offeror introducing radical changes to the Group which may materially alter the prevailing status and situations of the Group. However, we note that the Offeror intends to nominate new Directors to the Board but no candidate has been identified by the Offeror as at the Latest Practicable Date. As such, we are uncertain whether the new Directors possess specific experience in the visual display solutions industry. In addition, following the close of the Offer, the Offeror will conduct a detailed review of the business operations and financial position of the Group for the purpose of formulating business plans and strategies for the future business development of the Group and explore other investment or business opportunities to diversify the business of the Group with an objective to broaden its income source, but no business plan or any investment or business opportunity had been identified as at the Latest Practicable Date. As such, due to the expected changes in the composition of the Board and the Offeror’s intention mentioned above, in longer term, we consider that, depending on the decision of the Board in the future, there may be potential changes in the Group’s business operation and strategies, the impact of which is uncertain.

We are of the view that the above information allows the Independent Shareholders to conduct their own assessments of whether to continue investing in the Shares based on development of the Group that they are already informed of.

The Offer provides an exit alternative for the Independent Shareholders who would like to realise their investments in the Shares, nevertheless, for those Independent Shareholders who, after reading through the recent financial statements of the Company and/or the Composite Document, are optimistic about the future prospects of the Group after the Offer, may, having regard to their own circumstances, consider retaining all or any part of their Shares.

  • (vii) a premium of approximately 116.60% over the unaudited consolidated net asset value attributable to the Shareholders of approximately HK$0.0771 per Share as at 30 November 2021, calculated by dividing the Group’s unaudited consolidated net assets attributable to the Shareholders of approximately HK$61,668,112 as at 30 November 2021 by 800,000,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

During the Review Period, the highest and lowest closing prices of the Shares were HK$0.11 on 17 September 2021, 20 September 2021 and 21 September 2021 and HK$2.10 per Share on 4 March 2022 respectively. The Offer Price represents a discount of approximately 61.16% to the average closing price per Share of approximately HK$0.43 per Share during the Review Period.

Pre-Announcement Period

From the beginning of the Review Period in early March 2021 to the Last Trading Day, the Shares closed between HK$0.11 per Share and HK$2.10 per Share. The closing prices of the Shares were higher than the Offer Price in 195 trading days out of 245 trading days during the Pre-Announcement Period. The closing price of the Shares generally moved between HK$0.18 and HK$0.32 from the start of the Review Period to December 2021. An upward trend is observed commencing from early January 2022. After making enquiries with the Management, we note that the Management is not aware of any specific reason for the aforesaid upward trend commencing from early January 2022. The trend persisted until 28 January 2022 when the closing price climbed to HK$1.09. Since then, the Share price dropped to HK$0.72 on 10 February 2022, then rebounded to HK$1.33 per Share on 25 February 2022, the last trading day before trading halt of the Shares pending the release of the Rule 3.7 announcement on 1 March 2022, after which the closing price surged further and reached to its highest closing price within the Review Period at HK$2.10 on 4 March 2022.

Post-Announcement Period

When trading in Shares resumed on 15 March 2022, the closing price per Share declined to a range of HK$1.27 to HK$2.00 during the Post-Announcement Period and was closed at HK$1.84 as at the Latest Practicable Date. The trading prices of Shares during the Post-Announcement Period had been at lower levels than during the last month of the Pre-Announcement Period but higher than the Offer Price.

The Offer therefore does not appear to have material effects on the price trends of the Shares. Based on the fact that the Offer Price is below the average of closing prices of the Shares during the Review Period, and in particular, recent prices of Shares remain substantially higher than the Offer Price, we are of the view that the Offer Price is not fair and not reasonable from the point of view of the historical trading price of the Shares.

Independent Shareholders should note that the information set out above is not an indication of the future performance of the Shares and that the price of the Shares may increase or decrease during the period between the Latest Practicable Date and the close of the Offer.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Pre-Announcement Period

As illustrated in the above table, during the Pre-Announcement Period, the percentage of the average daily trading volume to the total number of issued Shares ranged from approximately 0.00% to 1.92%. When compared to the total number of Shares held by public Shareholders, the percentage ranged from approximately 0.01% to 7.69% over the Pre-Announcement Period. Overall, the trading volume of the Shares was relatively thin during the Pre-Announcement Period where average daily trading volume of Shares were below 1 million Shares save for the months of January, February and the period from 1 March 2022 to 7 March 2022. Based on our discussion with the Management, there were no apparent reasons for the aforesaid trading volume increases, save that the comparatively higher trading volume in January 2022 coincided with the Interim Results Announcement on 14 January 2022 and the January MOU Announcement dated 25 January 2022, during which the average daily trading volume rose to the region between approximately 5 million Shares and approximately 15 million Shares. Subsequent to this, the average daily trading volume of Shares reduced to between 330,000 Shares and approximately 5 million Shares until 25 February 2022, the last trading day prior to trading halt of the Shares pending the release of the Rule 3.7 Announcement on 1 March 2022. The average daily trading volume of Shares was over 10 million Shares since 25 February 2022 and up to and including the Last Trading Day.

Post-Announcement Period

The average daily trading volume of the Shares ranged from 740,000 to 18,370,000 during the Post-Announcement Period, representing 0.68% of the issued Shares of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and 2.72% over the total number of Shares held by the public Shareholders as at the Latest Practicable Date. We note that the percentages of the average daily trading volume of the Shares to the total issued Shares and the total number of Shares held by the public Shareholders increased by 423.08% and 403.70% respectively during the Post-Announcement Period as compared to that of the Pre-Announcement Period. In particular, the trading volume of approximately 18 million Shares on the first trading day during the Post-Announcement Period was the highest during the Review Period, representing 2.30% and 9.19% respectively of the total issued Shares and the total number of Shares held by the public Shareholder as at the Latest Practicable Date. We believe that the relatively high level of trading volume during the Post-Announcement Period was stimulated by the information in the Joint Announcement.

In addition, we note that the daily trading volume on 28 March 2022 (i.e. date of publication of the March MOU Announcement) has increased to approximately 10 million Shares from approximately 1 million Shares on the last trading day before the March MOU Announcement. Nevertheless, the daily trading volume dropped by almost

– 39 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

50% the day after the March MOU Announcement. Based on our discussion with the Management, save for the March MOU Announcement, the Management is not aware of any other reasons for the increase in trading volume during the day of 28 March 2022.

Notwithstanding the increase in trading volume in the Post-Announcement Period, taking into account the fact that the daily trading volume of the Shares was mostly under 1% and 5% respectively of the total issued Shares and the total number of Shares held by the public Shareholders as at the Latest Practicable Date during the Post-Announcement Period, we are of the view that the trading volume of Shares can be considered generally low, and in normal circumstances, if the Independent Shareholders are to dispose of a large number of Shares in the market, it may exert downward pressure on the market price of Shares.

While the Offer may represent an opportunity for Independent Shareholders to dispose of Shares at a fixed price; in this case however, given that the Offer Price is substantially below prevailing market price of Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, we are of the view that the Offer Price is unattractive so far as Independent Shareholders are concerned and Independent Shareholders who intend to realise their investment in the Company may choose to sell their Shares in the market instead of accepting the Offer, unless they are not able to do so in the market.

Comparable analysis

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Offer Price, we have performed analysis of the valuation of the Group at the Offer Price compared with the prevailing market valuation of other companies listed on the Stock Exchange that are engaged in similar businesses to those of the Group. We note that the Group only has one operating segment, being the provision of visual display solution services which complemented with equipment rental. Taking into account the nature of the business of the Group, our selection criteria focused on companies that (i) were listed on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date; (ii) are principally engaged in the provision of hardware application and solution related services; and (iii) had derived over 50% of its revenue from the provision of the hardware application and solution related services; (iv) had under HK$1.0 billion of market capitalisation as at the Last Trading Day.

Price-to-earnings ratio (‘‘P/E Ratio’’) and price-to-book ratio (‘‘P/B Ratio’’) are two of the most commonly used benchmarks for valuation of companies. Given that the Group reported consolidated net loss attributable to the Shareholders for FY2021, P/E Ratio is not applicable for our analysis. P/B Ratio is common for analysis of companies which require reasonable level of assets for its business operations. According to the 2021/22 Interim Report, major assets of the Group mainly comprised (i) current assets (including mainly trade receivables, prepayment and deposits and inventories) which have relatively high liquidity and are essential for providing working capital for the Group’s business operations and accounted for approximately 19.8% of the Group’s total

– 40 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

assets; and (ii) book value of property and equipment accounted for approximately 71.1% of the Group’s total assets. In this regard, we consider that the P/B Ratio analysis is an applicable valuation method for our assessment of the Offer Price.

We have identified three companies (the ‘‘Comparables’’) that fall into the abovementioned selection criteria. Whilst there exist no companies which are of identical business model, scale of operation, trading prospect, target markets, product mix and capital structure as the Company and we have not conducted any in-depth investigation into the business and operations of the Comparables, we believe the Comparables selected based on the aforesaid selection criteria are fair and representative samples for comparison purpose, and represent an exhaustive list of relevant comparable companies and are appropriate to serve as a benchmark reference for our comparable analysis purpose.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Notes:

  1. Market capitalisation is calculated based on the closing share price and the number of Shares in issue as at the Last Trading Day (i.e. 07 March 2022) based on information from the website of the Stock Exchange. In the case of the Company, it is calculated based on the Offer Price.

  2. Net asset value attributable to owners of the company is extracted from the latest audited or unaudited financial statements of the company available on the Latest Practicable Date.

  3. Price-to-book ratio is calculated by dividing market capitalisation by net asset value attributable to owners of the company.

As shown in the table above, the implied P/B ratio of the Company (calculated using the Offer Price) of 2.17 times is lower than the average P/B ratio of the Comparables of approximately 2.24 times and the median of the Comparables of 2.43 times. On this basis, we are of the view that from a comparable analysis perspective, the Offer Price is not fair and not reasonable.

RECOMMENDATION

Notwithstanding that there are certain positive developments, in particular the Company has identified new business opportunities (i.e. the application of xR Solutions in the entertainment business) and the recovery from the COVID-19 situation in Hong Kong that may improve the loss making business of the Group in the past financial year/period, there is uncertainty as to the prospects and outlook of the business of the Group as it is unsure whether there will be any synergy effects between the Group and the Offeror as disclosed in section headed ‘‘4. Background information of the Offeror’’ in this letter, taking into consideration below factors and reasons:

  • (a) the Offer Price is substantially below the average closing prices per Share during the Review Period as well as recent prices of Shares during the Post-Announcement Period; and

  • (b) the implied price-to-book ratio is lower than the average and median of the Comparables.

we consider that the terms of the Offer, in particular the Offer Price, are not fair and not reasonable. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders not to accept the Offer.

Nevertheless, the Independent Shareholders should also note that (i) there is no guarantee that the Share price will sustain at a level above the Offer Price after the Closing Date; (ii) the Independent Shareholders (especially those with relatively sizeable shareholdings) may not be able to realise their investments in the Shares at a price higher than the Offer Price, in particular when they are going to dispose of their entire holdings. The Offer provides an exit alternative for the Independent Shareholders who would like to realise their investments in the Shares.

– 42 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Those Independent Shareholders who decide to retain part or all of their investments in the Shares should carefully monitor the financial performance of the Group and be aware of the potential difficulties they may encounter in disposing of their investments in the Shares at a price higher than the Offer Price after the close of the Offer given the generally low trading volume during the Review Period.

Further terms and conditions of the Offer are set out in the ‘‘Letter from Rainbow Capital’’ of and Appendix I to the Composite Document.

As different Shareholders would have different investment criteria, objectives or risk appetite and profiles, we recommend any Shareholders who may require advice in relation to any aspect of the Composite Document, or as to the action to be taken, consult a licensed securities dealer, bank manager, solicitor, professional accountant, tax adviser or other professional adviser.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

PricewaterhouseCoopers, the auditors of the Company, noted in its independent auditors’ reports for each of the years ended 31 May 2020 and 2021 that the consolidated financial statements of the Group indicated the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The opinion of the auditors in respect of each of the years ended 31 May 2019, 2020 and 2021 is not modified in respect of this matter.

Relevant extracts of the independent auditors’ reports for each of the years ended 31 May 2020 and 2021 as set out in the relevant annual reports are reproduced below:

For the year ended 31 May 2020

‘‘We draw attention to Note 2.1.1 to the consolidated financial statements which states that the Group incurred a net loss of HK$24,305,186 for the year ended 31 May 2020, while its total revenue dropped from HK$94,272,942 for the year ended 31 May 2019 to HK$44,714,984 for the year ended 31 May 2020. The note discusses the impact of the outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (‘‘COVID-19’’) on the Group’s business. The Group’s cash flow projections assume that there will be a significant reduction of the Group’s business, with gradual resumption of business from November 2020. While the cash flow projections assume a gradual resumption of business from November 2020, this is uncertain and is dependent on the subsequent development of the COVID-19 situation and the corresponding government measures in the regions where the Group operates. These conditions, along with the other matters explained in Note 2.1.1 to the consolidated financial statements, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.’’

For the year ended 31 May 2021

‘‘We draw attention to Note 2.1.1 to the consolidated financial statements which states that the Group incurred a net loss of HK$35,078,402 and net cash used in operating activities of HK$7,973,659 for the year ended 31 May 2021. As at 31 May 2021, the Group had net current liabilities of HK$12,087,104 and maintained cash and cash equivalents of HK$1,166,683. During the year ended 31 May 2021, the Group’s operations were adversely affected by the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (‘‘COVID-19’’) pandemic, the COVID-19 restrictions and control measures. These conditions, along with the other matters explained in Note 2.1.1 to the consolidated financial statements, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.’’

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

The relevant parts of Note 2.1.1 to the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 May 2021 as referred to in the auditor’s note above are also extracted below for information purpose:

‘‘The Group incurred a net loss of HK$35,078,402 and net cash used in operating activities of HK$7,973,659 for the year ended 31 May 2021. As at 31 May 2021, the Group had net current liabilities of HK$12,087,104 and maintained cash and cash equivalents of HK$1,166,683.

Since early 2020, the Group’s business operations have been adversely affected by the outbreak of Coronavirus Disease (‘‘COVID-19’’), after a hit of months of social unrest and protests in Hong Kong. The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in significant decrease in commercial activities under the lockdown and a series of precautionary and control measures imposed in various cities where the Group operates, such as ban on social gathering of more than a limited headcount, execution of pandemic prevention requirements and restrictions and controls over inbound and outbound travelling. These have led to postponement and cancellation of pop concerts and live events during the year. In addition, subsequent to 31 May 2021, the number of infected cases caused by the COVID-19 variants such as Alpha and Delta have been increasing all over the world because they are highly contagious. The governments of the regions where the Group operates may tighten the control measures again which can seriously affect the Group’s business. If the situation continues and the control measures are prolonged, the Group’s business and cash flows will be adversely affected.

The above conditions indicate the existence of material uncertainties which may cast a significant doubt about the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern.

In view of these circumstances, the directors of the Company have given careful consideration to the Group’s financial position and performance, the liquidity requirements and its available sources of financing to assess whether the Group will have sufficient resources to fulfill its financial obligations. The Group has taken plans and implemented measures to alleviate the liquidity pressure which include, but not limited to, the following:

  • (i) With the launch of the vaccination programmes and the substantial decrease in the number of COVID-19 infected cases in 2021 compared to those in 2020 due to the good results of the control measures imposed by the respective governments of the PRC, Hong Kong and Macau where the Group primarily operates, there were signs that the COVID-19 situation has been easing in the regions. The economic activities resumed gradually and pop concerts and live events are permitted to be held since June 2021. The directors of the Company have been closely monitoring the development of the latest situation and have continuous discussion with the customers about their plans to resume the pop concerts and live events. The directors of the Company anticipate that the Group’s business will resume gradually from July 2021 provide that COVID-19 situation is under control and distancing measure is easing.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

  • (ii) As at 31 May 2021, the Group had outstanding gross trade receivables of HK$13,156,541, among which HK$8,553,002 aged over 365 days. The Group has implemented measures to accelerate the collection by issuing reminders and letters of demand to its debtors, negotiating with the debtors on their respective repayment schedules and, where possible, entering into repayment agreements with them. The Group successfully collected settlement of trade receivables of HK$2,336,643 subsequent to 31 May 2021.

  • (iii) In July 2021, the Group obtained a new banking facility of HK$3,000,000 from a commercial bank in Hong Kong which was secured by corporate guarantee of the Company, the pledge of a property and the personal guarantee of a director of the Company.

  • (iv) When necessary, the Group will continue to adopt a series of measures to control the cash outflow by encouraging employees to take no-pay leave, negotiating with suppliers and creditors to extend the payment due dates, controlling capital expenditures, obtaining rent concessions from the landlords and tightening expenditures.

The directors of the Company have reviewed the Group’s cash flow projections which cover a period of not less than twelve months from 31 May 2021. The directors are of the opinion that, having taken into account the anticipated operating cash flows of the Group as well as the possible changes in its operating performance and the availability of existing and new bank facilities, the Group will have sufficient financial resources to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due in the coming twelve months from 31 May 2021. Accordingly, the directors consider that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and thus have prepared the consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.

Notwithstanding the above, material uncertainty exists as to whether the Group is able to achieve its plans and measures as described above, which incorporate assumptions about future events and conditions that are subject to inherent uncertainties. Whether the Group will be able to continue as a going concern depends upon the Group’s ability to generate adequate operating cash inflows through:

  • (i) gradual resumption of business with further easing of controls measures related to COVID-19 and as anticipated by management to generate sufficient operating cash inflows;

  • (ii) successful collection of overdue trade receivables in the expected timeframe;

  • (iii) successful in draw down of the banking facilities as and when needed; and

  • (iv) successful implementation of various cost saving measures and control of capital expenditures when necessary.

– II-4 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

Should the Group be unable to achieve the above plans and measures such that it would not be operate as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made to reduce the carrying values of the Group’s assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for financial liabilities which might arise, and to reclassify non-current assets and non-current liabilities as current assets and current liabilities, respectively. The effect of these adjustments has not been reflected in the consolidated financial statements.’’

Save as disclosed above, no modified opinion, emphasis of matter or material uncertainty related to going concern was contained in the auditor’s reports of the Company issued by PricewaterhouseCoopers for each of the years ended 31 May 2019, 2020 and 2021. For each of the three years ended 31 May 2019, 2020 and 2021, no dividend was declared or paid.

Save as disclosed above, the Group had no other material income or expense for the years ended 31 May 2019, 2020 and 2021.
