LETTER FROM THE BOARD
FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL
The Property is not under any mortgage/charge. The net book value of the Property as at the date of the latest audited financial statement, i.e. 31st March 2015, amounted to HK$260,282,000. After completion of the Disposal, non-current assets of the Group will be reduced by HK$260,282,000 and current assets of the Group will be increased by HK$534,215,000, but there will be no effect on current and non-current liabilities. Based on the Consideration of HK$537,000,000, the total gain expected to accrue to the Group from the Disposal is approximately HK$274 million, with a gain of approximately HK$55 million deferred and amortised throughout the lease term under the leaseback arrangement. The estimated gain represents the difference between the Consideration and Group’s carrying value of the Property as at 31st March 2015 and the relevant fees expected to be payable by the Group. The consolidated net asset value of the Group is also expected to increase accordingly. During the financial year ending 31st March 2016, a gain of approximately HK$219 million is expected to be recognized for the Disposal and leaseback arrangement.
PROPOSED USE OF PROCEEDS
Based on the Consideration of HK$537,000,000 and the associated estimated direct cost of the Disposal of HK$2,785,000, the Company is expected to receive a net proceeds of HK$534,215,000 from the Disposal.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds as general working capital of the Group.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL
Having taken into account the current property market conditions, the Directors consider that the Disposal gives a good opportunity for the Company to realize its investment with considerable gain. After the Disposal, the Group will have additional working capital for future expansion.
The Board is of the view that the terms in the Provisional SP Agreement including the Consideration are in normal commercial terms, which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders and the Company as a whole.
IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES
As the applicable percentage ratio under the Listing Rules in respect of the Disposal is more than 25% but less than 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction for the Company and is subject to reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, as no Shareholder has a material interest in the Disposal, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for the approval of the Disposal.
On 31st December 2015, the written approvals for the Disposal were obtained from Shundean Investments Limited, Mr. LEUNG Kai Ching, Kimen and Mr. LEUNG Wai Sing, Wilson, who are holding 225,911,400 Shares, 20,152,000 Shares and 46,320,000 Shares respectively and who are a closely allied group of Shareholders holding an aggregate of approximately 50.47% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the above written approval, in lieu of holding a general meeting to approve the Disposal pursuant to rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.

APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
As disclosed in the interim report of the Group for the six months ended 30th September 2015, the Group reported turnover of HK$1.4 billion (2014: HK$1.1 billion), with profit attributable to shareholders amounting to HK$71 million. Gross margin increased to 11.6% compared with 5.9% for the corresponding period last year. The rise in turnover was mainly due to the encouraging performance of the Group’s tablet products and stable sales generated by its existing product portfolio, all of which have capitalised on a rise in consumption in key markets. As the US economy makes incremental steps forward, the management will place even greater attention to opportunities and trends that will emerge in the future. Having achieved a strong track record of effectively identifying consumer trends and leveraging in-house R&D capabilities to introduce exciting new products to market, the management will continue to use such strengths as it pursues sustainable and healthy growth.
While always looking out for new opportunities and new product developments, the management will at the same time seek to build on the progress achieved by the Group’s existing product lines. Of the highest priority is to further strengthen, and therefore capitalise on the success so far achieved by the Group’s tablet series. In addition to sizes ranging from 7-inch to 11-inch presently available, larger size models are now in the pipe-line and will gradually enter production in 2016. Also in the new year, in addition to wireless keyboards, other productivity accessories will be considered for inclusion with the Group’s tablets, such as wireless mouse, active stylus and the like.
Even though the Group’s sound bars and other AV products will not need to be renewed and revamped as drastically or as frequently as tablets, they are still being examined and reengineered constantly to make sure that they can be produced more efficiently and have features and refinements which are in step with consumer trends.
The need for constant development will also extend to production. Although the Houjie Town facility is state-of-the-art, the management will continue to dedicate efforts towards raising efficiency, and thereby minimise the Group’s exposure to high labour costs. And apart from investing in automation for continuous productivity improvements, the Group has also added, and will continue to add, high-precision equipment for further enhancing product quality, reliability and durability.
Even though the Group has made clear progress during the latest financial period, it is well aware of the need to sustain growth over the long term. Through the determination of an experienced management team; the nurturing of ties with long-standing and trusted business partners; the bolstering of product lines and ongoing push to enter new markets, the Group will have the means and methods for achieving this overriding goal.

APPENDIX II
PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT
Dear Sirs,
In accordance with the instructions given by the present management of Alco Electronics Limited (hereinafter referred to as the “Instructing Party”) to us to conduct an agreed-upon procedures valuations of certain designated real properties (same as the word “properties” in this report) in which Alco Holdings Limited (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, hereinafter together with the Company referred to as the “Group”) have interests in Hong Kong, we confirm that we have conducted inspection, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary to support our findings and our conclusion of values of the subject properties as at 30th November 2015 (hereinafter referred to as the “Valuation Date”) for the Instructing Party’s internal management reference purpose.
We understand that the use of our work product (regardless of form of presentation) will form part of the Instructing Party’s due diligence but we have not been engaged to make specific sale or purchase recommendations, or give opinion for financing arrangement. We further understand that the use of our work product will not supplant other due diligence which the Instructing Party should conduct in reaching its business decision regarding the properties valued. Our work is designed solely to provide information that will give the Instructing Party a reference in its due diligence process, and our work should not be the only factor to be referenced by the Instructing Party. Our findings and conclusion of values of the subject properties are documented in a valuation report and submitted to the Instructing Party at today’s date (hereinafter referred to as the “Report Date”).
At the request of the Instructing Party, we prepared this summary report (including this letter, the summary of values and the valuation certificate) to the Company to summarise our findings and conclusion of values as documented in the valuation report for the purpose of inclusion in this circular at the Report Date for the Company’s shareholders’ reference. Terms herein used without definition shall have the same meanings as in the valuation report, and the assumptions and caveats adopted in the valuation report also apply to this summary report.
BASIS OF VALUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS
According to the HKIS Standards, there are two valuation bases, namely market value basis and valuation bases other than market value. In this engagement, we have provided our conclusion of values of the properties on the market value basis.
– 13 –
APPENDIX II
PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT
The term “Market Value” is defined by the HKIS Standards as “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.
Our valuations of the real properties have been made on the assumptions that, as at the Valuation Date,
-
the legally interested party in each of the properties has free and uninterrupted rights to assign its relevant property interest for the whole of the unexpired terms as granted, and any premium payable have already been fully paid; and
-
the legally interested party in each of the properties sells its relevant property interest in the market in its existing state without the benefit of a deferred terms contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any other similar arrangement which could serve to increase the value of the property interest.
Should any of the above not be the case, it will have adverse impact to the values as reported.
APPROACH TO VALUE
There are three generally accepted approaches in arriving at the market value of a property on an absolute title basis, namely the Sales Comparison Approach (or known as the Market Approach), the Cost Approach and the Income Approach.
In valuing the property in Group I, we have adopted the Sales Comparison Approach with the benefit of vacant possession as at the Valuation Date. The Sales Comparison Approach considers the sales, listing or offerings of similar or substitute properties and related market data establishes a value estimate by processes involving comparison. The underlying assumption of this approach is that an investor will pay no more for a property than he or she would have to pay for a similar property of comparable utility.
In valuing the property in Group II which is subject to existing tenancies, we have adopted the Investment Method. Investment Method considers capitalising the rental receivable from the existing tenancies plus the reversionary value of the property. The underlying assumption of this method is that an investor will pay no more for the property than he or she would have to be paid for another property with an income stream of comparable amount, duration, and certainty. In assessing the reversionary value of the property, we have also adopted the Sales Comparison Approach.
– 14 –
PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX II
Unless otherwise stated, we have not carried out a valuation on a redevelopment basis and the study of possible alternative development options and the related economics do not come within the scope of our work.
MATTERS THAT MIGHT AFFECT THE VALUES REPORTED
For the sake of valuation, we have adopted the areas as appeared in the copies of the documents as provided and no further verification work has been conducted. Should it be established subsequently that the adopted areas were not the latest approved, we reserve the right to revise our report and the valuations accordingly.
No allowance has been made in our valuations for any charges, mortgages, outstanding premium or amounts owing on the properties valued nor any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in affecting sales for properties. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the properties are free from all encumbrances, restrictions, and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect their values.
In our valuations, we have assumed that the properties are able to be sold and purchased in the market without any legal impediment (especially from the regulators). Should this not be the case, it will affect the reported values significantly. The readers are reminded to have their own legal due diligence work on such issue. No responsibility or liability from our part is assumed.
As at the Latest Practicable Date of this circular, we were unable to identify any adverse news against the properties which may affect the reported values in our work product. Thus, we are not in the position to report and comment on its impact (if any) to the properties. However, should it be established subsequently that such news did exist at the Valuation Date, we reserve the right to adjust the values reported herein.
ESTABLISHMENT OF TITLES
We have been provided with copy of tenancy agreements but have not been provided with copy of the title documents relating to the properties. We have caused searches to be made at the Land Registry of Hong Kong regarding the properties. However, we have not searched the original documents to verify ownership or to verify any amendments on the tenancy agreements which may not appear on the copy handed to us.
– 15 –
APPENDIX II
PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT
We need to state that we are not legal professionals and are not qualified to ascertain the titles and to report any encumbrances that may be registered against the properties. However, we have complied with the requirements as stated in Chapter 5 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and relied solely on the copies of documents in our valuations. All documents and leases have been used as reference only. No responsibility or liability from our part is assumed.
In our report, we have assumed that the Group has obtained all the approval and/or endorsement from the relevant authorities to own the properties, and that there would be no legal impediment (especially from the regulators) for the Group to continue the legal titles to the properties. Should this not be the case, it will affect our findings or conclusion of values in this report significantly. The readers are reminded to have their own legal due diligence work on such issues. No responsibility or liability from our part is assumed.
INSPECTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS OF THE PROPERTIES
We have conducted inspections to the exterior, and where possible, the interior of the properties in respect of which we have been provided with such information as we have requested for the purpose of engagement. The properties were inspected by our graduate surveyor Mr. Rex Chan in January 2016. We have not inspected those parts of the properties which were covered, unexposed or inaccessible and such parts have been assumed to be in a reasonable condition. We cannot express an opinion about or advice upon the condition of the properties and our work product should not be taken as making any implied representation or statement about the condition of the properties. No structural survey, investigation or examination has been made, but in the course of our inspections, we did not note any serious defects in the properties inspected. We are not, however, able to report that the properties are free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out to the utilities (if any) and we are unable to identify those utilities covered, unexposed or inaccessible.
We have not carried out on-site measurements to verify the correctness of the areas of the properties, but have assumed that the areas shown on the documents and official layout plans handed to us are correct. All dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations.
Our engagement and the agreed procedures to value the properties did not include an independent land survey to verify the legal boundaries of the properties. We need to state that we are not in the land survey profession, therefore, we are not in the position to verify or ascertain the correctness of the legal boundaries of such properties that appeared on the documents handed to us. No responsibility from our part is assumed. The management of the Company or interested party in the properties should conduct their own legal boundaries due diligence work.
– 16 –
APPENDIX II
PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT
We have not arranged for any investigation to be carried out to determine whether or not any deleterious or hazardous material has been used in the construction or formation of the properties, or has since been incorporated, and we are therefore unable to report that the properties are free from risk in this respect, and therefore we have not considered such factors in our valuations.
We are not aware of the content of any environmental audit or other environmental investigation or soil survey which may have been carried out on the properties and which may draw attention to any contamination or the possibility of any such contamination. In undertaking our work, we have been instructed to assume that no contaminative or potentially contaminative uses have ever been carried out in the properties. We have not carried out any investigation into past or present uses, either of the properties or of any neighbouring land, to establish whether there is any contamination or potential for contamination to the properties from these uses or sites, and have therefore assumed that none exists. However, should it be established subsequently that contamination, seepage or pollution exists at the properties or on any neighbouring land, or that the premises have been or are being put to a contaminative use, this might reduce the values now reported or affect our findings.
SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ITS VERIFICATION
In the course of our work, we have been provided with copies of the documents regarding the properties, and these copies have been referenced without further verifying with the relevant bodies and/or authorities. Our procedures did not require us to conduct any searches or to inspect the original documents to verify ownership or to verify any amendment which may not appear on the copies handed to us. We need to state that we are not legal professionals, therefore, we are not in the position to advise and comment on the legality and effectiveness of the documents provided by the Instructing Party or the appointed personnel of the Company.
We have relied solely on the information provided by the Instructing Party or the appointed personnel of the Company without further verification and have fully accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, locations, titles, easements, tenure, occupation, rentals, floor areas and all other relevant matters.
Our valuations have been made only based on the advice and information made available to us. While a limited scope of general inquiries had been made to the real property market practitioners, we are not in a position to verify and ascertain the correctness of the advice given by the relevant personnel. No responsibility or liability from our part is assumed.

Also, we have sought and received confirmation from the Instructing Party or the appointed personnel of the Company that no material factors have been omitted from the information supplied. Our analysis and valuations are based upon full disclosure between us and the Instructing Party of material and latent facts that may affect the works.
