LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Consideration

The Consideration is HK$30,000,000.00, which shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Vendor in the following manner:

  • (a) HK$1,500,000.00 shall be paid upon signing of the Provisional Agreement as initial deposit;

  • (c) the balance in the sum of HK$27,000,000.00 shall be paid in full upon the Completion.

On 18 June 2021, the Vendor received HK$1,500,000.00 from the Purchaser. On 5 July 2021, a further HK$1,500,000.00 was received by the Vendor’s solicitors as stakeholders pursuant to the Formal Agreement. On 18 August 2021, the balance in the sum of HK$27,000,000.00 was fully paid by the Purchaser.

The Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiation between the Vendor and the Purchaser with reference to the preliminary valuation of the Property made by the Independent Property Valuer as at 31 March 2021 of approximately HK$29,700,000.00 in respect of the Property and the market value of comparable properties in Hong Kong. There is no significant difference between the preliminary valuation of the Property and the final valuation report dated 30 June 2021 prepared by the Independent Property Valuer as annexed to this circular as Appendix II wherein the valuation of the Property as at 18 June 2021 is approximately HK$29,800,000.00.

The Formal Agreement for sale and purchase of the Property has been entered into between the Vendor and the Purchaser on 5 July 2021.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INFORMATION OF THE PARTIES

The Group is principally engaged in the design and development, manufacture, retail and wholesale of various lines of fashion apparel and accessories.

Based on the information provided by the Purchaser, the Purchaser is a merchant.

The Agent is a company incorporated in Hong Kong and operates property agencies in Hong Kong.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The Board has been assessing the property market in Hong Kong and reviewing the Group’s options over the Property as held by the Group. Previously, the Property was used by the Vendor for the Group’s auxiliary business purposes. Having considered that the Property is not essential for the Group’s future operations, the Disposal will not have a material adverse effect on the Group’s operations. The Board therefore believes that the Disposal represents a good opportunity for the Company to realise its investment in the Property at an attractive return, thus increasing the Group’s working capital and cash flow.

The Board considers the terms of the Disposal are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS ON THE GROUP AND INTENDED USE OF PROCEEDS

The carrying value of the Property as shown in the unaudited consolidated accounts of the Company as at 31 May 2021 was approximately HK$29,587,000 given that the Property is for own use and according to the Group’s accounting policies, the land held for own use and buildings thereon are stated at their revalued amount, being their fair value at the date of the revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation. The Group is expected to record a book gain of approximately HK$143,000 from the Disposal, being the difference between the Consideration and the carrying value of the Property as at 31 May 2021 after related expenses.

It is estimated that the net proceeds from the Disposal (after deduction of agency fees, legal fees and ancillary expenses) would be approximately HK$29,730,000. The Group intends to use the net sale proceeds from the Disposal as general working capital or for future investment opportunities should such opportunities arise.

Save as disclosed above, the Disposal will not have any material adverse impact on the earnings and assets and liabilities of the Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS OF THE DISPOSAL

As one of the applicable percentage ratios calculated by reference to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Disposal are more than 25% but less than 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction for the Company and is therefore subject to the announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiry, no Shareholder has a material interest in the Disposal and is required to abstain from voting for the resolution to approve the Disposal, should the Disposal be put forward to the shareholders to approve at a general meeting of the Company. Accordingly, (i) 190,000,000 Shares held by Super Result Consultants Limited, which is beneficially owned by Mr. Chan and Ms. Tsui as to 46.7% and 46.7% respectively; (ii) 3,616,000 Shares held by New First Investments Limited which is beneficially owned by Mr. Chan and Ms. Tsui as to 50% and 50% respectively; (iii) 2,100,000 Shares which are beneficially owned by Mr. Chan; and (iv) 2,100,000 Shares which are beneficially owned by Ms. Tsui, collectively representing approximately 68.70% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the Latest Practicable Date (since Mr. Chan and Ms. Tsui are married to each other, Mr. Chan will be deemed interested in the Shares which Ms. Tsui is deemed interested in as family interest, and vice versa by virtue of the SFO), has approved the Disposal by a written shareholder’s approval pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules in lieu of a resolution to be passed at a general meeting of the Company. Thus, Mr. Chan and Ms. Tsui, together with their relevant controlled corporations, are a “closely allied group of shareholders” under Rule 14.45.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the Disposal is fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and would recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the Disposal if it had been necessary to hold a general meeting for such purpose.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Your attention is also drawn to the additional information set out in the appendices to this circular.

Yours faithfully, By order of the Board Moiselle International Holdings Limited Chan Yum Kit Chairman

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Lease liabilities

As at 30 June 2021, all lease liabilities amounted to HK$63,851,000 were secured by rental deposits and unguaranteed.

Others

Save as disclosed above, the Group had no debt securities issued and outstanding, neither authorized nor otherwise created but unissued, and had no other term loans, no matter guaranteed, unguaranteed, secured (whether the security is provided by the issuer or by third parties) or unsecured.

The Group had no other borrowings or indebtedness in the nature of borrowings including bank overdrafts and liabilities under acceptances (other than normal trade bills) nor acceptance credits or hire purchase commitments, no matter guaranteed, unguaranteed, secured or unsecured borrowings and debt.

Save as disclosed above, the Group had no other mortgages and charges.

Contingent liabilities

The Group had no material contingent liabilities as at 30 June 2021.

3. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECT OF THE GROUP

The Group principally engages in the design, manufacture, retailing and wholesales of fashion apparel and accessories.

It is believed that the overall retail market in Hong Kong has already bottomed out as the COVID-19 pandemic has shown signs of abating. However, a recovery in the market is expected to be slow in the financial year ending 31 March 2022. Therefore, the Group will continue with its prudent approach to business development so as to get through the very difficult operating environment. The Disposal will enable the Group, by disposing a non-essential property for the Group’s future operations, to recover funds and increase the Group’s working capital and cash inflow.

The Group will continue with its effort to reposition its major house brand MOISELLE so as to cope with the future changes in the fashion apparel market. In addition, the Group will continue to manage its costs and expenses level and to enhance the performance of its retail stores in various markets, as well as to aim at best utilising the financial resources of the Group for its business development.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

4. SUFFICIENCY OF WORKING CAPITAL

The effect of the Disposal on the working capital of the Group is the availability of increased fund for the Group’s operations and the increase in the level of the Group’s working capital sufficiency.

The Directors, after due and careful enquiry, are of the opinion that, after taking into account the Disposal and the financial resources available to the Group, including internal resources, the net proceeds to be received from the Disposal and the existing credit facilities available, the Group has sufficient working capital for its present requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of this circular, in the absence of unforeseeable circumstances.

The Company has obtained the relevant confirmation as required under Rule 14.66(12) of the Listing Rules.

5. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors confirmed that there was no material adverse change in the financial or trading position or prospects of the Group since 31 March 2021, being the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Group were made.

VALUATION REPORT OF THE PROPERTY

APPENDIX II

VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

Our valuation has been made on the assumptions that the Property is sold in the open market value without the benefit of a deferred terms contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement which would serve to affect its value.

No allowance has been made in our report for any charges, mortgage or amounts owing on the Property nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the Property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect its value.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

In valuing the Property, we have valued the Property by using Direct Comparison Approach assuming sale of the Property in its existing state by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market.

We have caused searches to be made at the Land Registry. However, we have not searched the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain the existence of any lease amendments which may not appear on the information handed to us.

No on-site measurement has been taken to verify the correctness of the site area of the Property.

LIMITING CONDITIONS

We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of the Property. However, we have not carried out investigations on site to determine the suitability of the ground conditions and services etc. for any future development. Our valuation is prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delay will be incurred during the construction period. Moreover, no structural survey however has been made, but in the course of our valuation, we did not note any serious defects. We are not, however, able to report whether the Property is free of rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out to any of the services.

VALUATION REPORT OF THE PROPERTY

APPENDIX II

On-site inspections were carried out at the subject building and the surrounding area for the investigation of the physical attributes of the building and the nature of the locality. The Property was not available for our inspection and the external condition of the subject building was seen to be reasonably fair.

Mr. Joe X. Zhao is currently a valuer of this professional practice and probationer in the General Practice Division of The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

  1. In undertaking our valuation of the Property, we have analysed the registered transactions of industrial properties in the district of North Point in the past 12 months and industrial properties in the same development (i.e. Kodak House II) in the past 60 months and have adopted a total of 7 registered transactions of industrial properties of similar attributes (e.g. size, view, floor level, building quality and age, location, etc.) as comparables. Based on the reasons stated in paragraph 6 below, we are of the view that the adopted comparables tabulated below are fair and reasonable.

  2. A total of 7 transactions were adopted as comparables based on the above-mentioned selection criteria, 4 in Sea View Estate and 3 in Kodak House II. Sea View Estate is a flatted factory building located within around 2 km from Kodak House II, of which the immediate locality, similar to that of Kodak House II, is a business area near the northern seafront of the district, predominated by various high-rise commercial towers for office and hotel purposes along Electric Road. The location attributes of the two developments were considered to be similar in terms of absolute position, business environment and accessibility of private vehicles and public transportations. By analysing the historical transactions in the two developments of the same period, their overall unit rates were found to be on par with each other. Based on the above, the recent transactions of Sea View Estate were considered to be comparable to the subject property in Kodak House II.

The latest transaction dated 10 May 2021 in Kodak House II was the only one transaction available in the development within the 36 months before the date of valuation (i.e. 18 June 2021). The unit rate of the transaction is about HK$10,119 per sq. ft., which is considered to be lower than the normal market level based on our experience and relevant research even after reasonable adjustments, but no sign of internal transaction between related parties was found after company searches for the vendor and the purchaser. As the transaction was the most recent one and was not a perceptible internal transaction, it was still adopted as a comparable for our analysis, but in order to mitigate the risk of the potential outlier, two more transactions dated 15 June 2018 and 8 November 2017 respectively of similar units in Kodak House II were adopted. According to the price indices of private flatted factories published by the Rating and Valuation Department, the overall price changes for the periods from June 2018 and from November 2017 to the latest April 2021 were both within the range of -5%–5%, and such price difference is considered to be fair for us to adopt such transactions as comparables with reasonable time adjustments.

Details of the adopted comparables are tabulated below:

Date of Unit Rate on

  1. The unit rates on saleable area of the comparables range from HK$10,119 to HK$13,771 per sq. ft. In our valuation, we have considered the different attributes between the Property and the comparables in terms of transaction time, size, floor, ceiling height, view, building quality, building age and location and have made adjustments accordingly.

  2. In applying adjustments to the comparables, if a comparable is superior to the Property in terms of the abovementioned attributes, a downward adjustment would be made to the unit rate of the comparable to offset the likely price difference caused by such superiority, and vice versa. The average adjusted unit rates of the comparables arrive at a saleable unit rate of approximately HK$13,232 per sq. ft. for the Property.
