LETTER FROM THE BOARD
INFORMATION ON THE TARGET GROUP
The Target Company is a company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability and is an investment holding company. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Target Subsidiary is a company established in the PRC and was principally engaged in the manufacturing business before ceasing all operations in 2019. The sole asset of the Target Group is the Property.
The Property is located at Flat 905, Block J, The Riviera, OCT Portofino, Xiangshan Street, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, the PRC (廣東省深圳市南山區華僑城香山街純水岸J 棟905). It is a residential property with a gross floor area of approximately 184.46 square meters. The Property has been used as staff quarters for the past two years and became vacant since around October 2021 (during the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic).
A summary of the unaudited financial information of the Target Group for the two years ended 31 March 2022 is set out below:
| For the year ended | 31 March | |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2022 | |
| HK$’000 | HK$’000 | |
| (Loss)/profit before tax | (120) | 1,358 |
| (Loss)/profit after tax | (120) | 1,358 |
As at 31 March 2023, the Target Group had an unaudited consolidated net asset value of approximately HK$36,000,000. The turnaround from loss-making position in 2021 to profitable in 2022 was mainly attributable to the change in fair value of the Property (i.e. gain on change in fair value of the Property of approximately HK$625,000 recognised during the year ended 31 March 2022).
FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL ON THE GROUP
Upon Completion, the Company will no longer hold any interest in the Target Group and the Target Company and the Target Subsidiary will cease to be subsidiaries of the Company and their financial results will no longer be consolidated into the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
Subject to final audit, it is expected that the Company will recognise a loss on disposal of approximately HK$14,000,000, which was determined by the carrying value of the Sale Shares, including writing off the current account due from the Target Group, which has suspended business operations. The amount of current account due from the Target Group that has been written off was approximately HK$15,526,000, which was performed consequential to the Disposal. Owing to the soft property market in the PRC and the lack of buyer’s interests for the Property, the Directors are of the view that the Disposal represents a good opportunity for the Group to realise its investment in the Property to enable it to deploy its resources in a more efficient manner given that the Property was initially purchased at RMB2,380,000 in December 2003 and having regard to the use of the Property. In addition, the Disposal will provide the Group with immediate cash inflow which could increase its cash position for the sake of prudence and be used to finance the Group’s future business development needs. Therefore, the Directors are of the view that the Consideration, which is at a discount to the valuation amount, could facilitate the sale of the Property and is fair and reasonable under the current market environment. The Company intends to apply the proceeds from the Disposal for internal working capital and business investment when such opportunities arise.
6
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL
The Property was previously held for the purposes of serving as director’s and staff quarters. Since the Target Subsidiary ceased its manufacturing operation, the Property has been left vacant and has not been occupied for over 18 months. As the Company has no use of the Property, the management considers the Disposal can realise the value in the Property and provide working capital for the Group’s business operations and provide capital for investment purposes.
As the terms of the Disposal were concluded after arm’s length negotiations and such terms were on normal commercial terms, 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.
INFORMATION ON THE PARTIES
The Company
The Company is principally engaged in the design, manufacture, retail and wholesale of fashion apparel and accessories. With established house brands such as MOISELLE, M Conzept, m.d.m.s. and imported brand LANCASTER , the Group operates retail shops and online business in Hong Kong, Mainland China, Macau and Taiwan.
The Vendor
The Vendor is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and is principally engaged in investment holding. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Mr. Chan
Mr. Chan is an executive Director and the controlling shareholder of the Company. He holds one of the Sale Shares on trust for the Vendor as part of the reorganisation conducted prior to listing of the Company’s securities on the Stock Exchange in 2002. As Mr. Chan is a trustee and is only entering into the Agreement to facilitate the Disposal and has no personal interest in the transactions contemplated under the Agreement, his entering into of the Agreement does not constitute a connected transaction for the Company.
The Target Company
The Target Company is a company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability and is principally engaged in investment holding. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Vendor.
7
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Target Subsidiary
The Target Subsidiary is a limited liability company established in the PRC. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Target Company.
The Purchaser
The Purchaser is an individual resident in Hong Kong. The Purchaser is an Independent Third Party and is independent of and not connected with the Company and its connected persons.
IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES
As 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 100%, 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, Super Result Consultants Limited, a company controlled by Mr. Chan and Ms. Tsui, two of the executive Directors and controlling shareholders, which is interested in 190,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 65.99% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, 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.
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

It continued with the repositioning of its house brand MOISELLE , and kept on developing electronic commerce and rationalizing its retail network. In addition, it took advantage of the Hong Kong government’s relaxed anti-pandemic measures by conducting small-scale handicraft courses at its stores and holding mini-fashion shows at dining events in restaurants with the aim of attracting more new customers of a younger generation for both its on-trend and high-end fashion apparel. Supported by the government policies and initiatives on tourism and recovery of business operations lately, the Group will study the potential of new retail store locations for business development and expansion. With cautious cost management in mind, the management would capture suitable retail business opportunities at appropriate times. 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.
