LETTER FROM THE BOARD

THE SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

The principal terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are set out below:

Date: 25 August 2021 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange)

Parties:

Vendor: Kenford Industrial (an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company)

Purchaser: Mr. Lam Wai Ming (a connected person of the Company at the subsidiary level)

Subject of the Sale and Purchase Agreement

The Disposal Share represents the entire issued share capital of the Disposed Company which forms the subject matter of the Disposal.

The Vendor shall sell as legal and beneficial owner and the Purchaser shall purchase the Disposal Share with effect from Completion free from all Encumbrances and together with all rights and title to and interests in the Disposal Share (including the right to receive all dividends and distributions declared, made or paid on or after the Completion Date).

Consideration

The Consideration for the sale and purchase of the Disposal Share, being HK$72.4 million, shall be settled by the Purchaser in the following manner:

  • (a) HK$40.0 million to be set off against the Loan; and

  • (b) the remaining of HK$32.4 million to be paid in cash by way of wire transfer of immediate available fund to a bank account designated by the Vendor or by way of cashier order upon Completion.

The terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement have been negotiated at arm’s length by the parties thereto and the Consideration was determined with reference to, among other things, the net asset value, the business valuation of the Disposed Group and the property valuation of the Properties.

The net asset value of the Disposed Group as at 31 July 2021 was approximately HK$61.8 million, based on the unaudited financial information of the Disposed Group, whilst the valuation of the Disposed Group as at 31 July 2021 provided in the Business Valuation Report amounted to HK$72.4 million. The Consideration represents a premium of approximately 17.2% to the said net asset value and is equal to the said business valuation.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In conducting the valuation exercise of the Disposed Group, the Valuer considered all commonly adopted valuation approaches in the market (namely, the asset approach, the market approach and the income approach). According to the Valuer, the asset approach under the cost approach was considered to be the most appropriate valuation approach. It is based on the economic principle of substitution and essentially measures what is the net asset value as at the date of valuation and the cost to replace those assets. According to the Valuer, income approach was not adopted as it relies on a long-term financial forecast and requires subjective assumptions that are difficult to be justified; and market approach was not adopted because there is a lack of a sufficient number of comparable companies in the market. In addition, as part of the valuation conducted by the Valuer, the value of the Properties as at 31 July 2021 as appraised by the Valuer was approximately RMB91.4 million, which was arrived at by adopting the depreciated replacement cost approach, which is based on an estimate of the market value for the existing use of the land, plus the current cost of replacement of the existing structures less deductions for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimization. According to the Valuer, market approach was not adopted as there are no readily identifiable market comparables; and income approach was not adopted because the property was occupied by the Group as at the date of valuation and there was no tenancy. For details, please refer the Property Valuation Report and Business Valuation Report set out in Appendix II and Appendix III to this circular, respectively.

Having considered the factors taken into account by the Valuer for the selection of valuation methodology and having been informed that they are the usual methodology and assumptions adopted by a professional valuer for such properties, the Board is of the view that the assumptions adopted in the Business Valuation Report and Property Valuation Report are fair and reasonable.

The Directors have reviewed and enquired the Valuer’s qualifications and experience in relation to the performance of the business valuation and property valuation. The Directors believe upon making reasonable enquiries that the Valuer is a professional valuation company experienced in performing valuation. Based on the information provided by the Valuer (i.e. company brochure and previous experience) and after making reasonable enquires, the Directors are of the view that the Valuer possesses the necessary competence and independence in preparing the Property Valuation Report and the Business Valuation Report.

Disposal Conditions

The Completion is subject to the following Disposal Conditions being fulfilled (or being waived if applicable):

  • (a) all necessary consents and approvals required to be obtained on the part of the Vendor, its holding company and the Company as required under the Listing Rules, including but not limited to the Shareholders’ approval of the Company having been obtained and the approval of the Stock Exchange (if applicable);

  • (b) the Disposed Group having settled all the amounts due to Kenford Industrial, if any;

  • (c) the parties thereto having entered into the Lease Agreement and the Purchasing Agreement; and

The parties thereto shall use their respective reasonable endeavours to procure the fulfilment of the Disposal Conditions on or before the Long Stop Date.

In the event that any of the Disposal Conditions have not been fulfilled (or being waived if applicable) prior to the Long Stop Date, neither party thereto shall be bound to proceed with the Disposal and the outstanding obligations under the Sale and Purchase Agreement shall cease to be of any effect except those in relation to, amongst other things, the confidentiality of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, which shall remain in force and save in respect of claims arising out of any antecedent breach of the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

As at the Latest Practicable date, save as Disposal Conditions (a) and (c), none of the Disposal Conditions have been fulfilled.

Other terms

The Purchaser shall be responsible for paying the followings and indemnify and hold harmless the Vendor, its holding company and the Company and each of their respective officers, Directors, employees, Shareholders, agents and other representatives from the following:

  • (a) any liability for Taxes arising (directly or indirectly) as a result of the Disposal or the other transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, recording, property, registration and similar Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other charges and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with consummation of the other transactions contemplated hereby); and

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Financial effect of the Disposal

Upon the Completion, the Company will cease to hold any interest in the Disposed Company and the Disposed Company will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company. Accordingly, the financial results of the Disposed Group will cease to be consolidated to the financial statements of the Company.

The total asset value and net asset value of the Disposed Group as at 31 March 2021 were approximately HK$147.4 million and HK$69.6 million, respectively.

A summary of the financial information of the Disposed Group for the two years ended 31 March 2021 is set out below:

For the For the
year ended year ended
31 March 2021 31 March 2020
Approximately Approximately
HK$’000 HK$’000
Loss before tax 15,610 14,979
Loss after tax 15,594 14,971

Based on the unaudited financial information of the Disposed Group as at 31 July 2021 and the Consideration of HK$72.4 million, the Company is expected to recognise a gain (before transaction costs) of approximately HK$10.6 million from the Disposal following the Completion. The actual gain on the Disposal may be different from the above and will be determined based on the financial position of the Disposed Company on the date of the Completion and be subject to audit. The expected gain of approximately HK$10.6 million was arrived based on the difference of the Consideration of HK$72.4 million against the net asset value of the Disposed Group amounting to approximately HK$61.8 million as at 31 July 2021. The proceeds arising from the Disposal will be used by the Group to set off against the Loan, to repay outstanding bank borrowings, and for general working capital purposes.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The independent non-executive Directors will review the continuing connected transactions under the Purchasing Agreement annually to check and confirm whether such continuing connected transactions have been conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company, on normal commercial terms, in accordance with the Purchasing Agreement governing them on terms that are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole, and whether the internal control procedures put in place by the Company are adequate and effective to ensure that such continuing connected transactions are conducted in accordance with the pricing policies set out in the Purchasing Agreement.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS FOR THE DISPOSAL, THE LEASE AND THE PURCHASE

For the years ended 31 March 2020 and 2021, the Group recorded net losses of approximately HK$40.1 million and HK$24.4 million, respectively, such losses were partly attributable to the financial results of the Disposed Group, which recorded a net loss of approximately HK$15.0 million and HK$15.6 million, during the respective years. Our Directors believe that such losses were attributable to, among others, declining sales, impairment losses and depreciation charges of the Disposed Group. Based on the financial information of the Disposed Group, the Disposed Group’s sales (excluding intra-group transactions) dropped from approximately HK$39.8 million for the financial year ended 31 March 2020 to approximately HK$18.1 million for the financial year ended 31 March 2021; and the Disposed Group recognised impairment losses of approximately HK$4.2 million and HK$1.4 million for the years ended 31 March 2020 and 2021, respectively and depreciation charges of approximately HK$3.0 million and HK$3.3 million on property, plant and equipment for the years ended 31 March 2020 and 2021, respectively. The Disposal represents a continuity of the Group’s cost-cutting strategy to strip its loss-making business, focus on its current business and hence enhance its overall performance and prospect. The Directors are therefore of the view that the Disposal will help to improve the financial performance of the Group in long term. In addition, as the major asset of the Disposed Group are the properties located in the PRC, the Directors considered that the Disposal enables the Company to realise the value in the properties at a fair market value.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreements, the Group is obliged to repay the Loan, which is in the sum of HK$40 million owed by the Vendor to the Purchaser and repayable on or before 28 February 2022. In addition, as at 31 July 2021, the Group had outstanding bank borrowings in the sum of approximately HK$19.2 million, which is repayable within one year. The Consideration is partially settled by setting off against the Loan and the remaining portion of the Consideration of HK$32.4 million, which is settled by way of cash, shall be partially used to repay the aforementioned bank borrowings. The Board considers that it is in the interest of the Company to set-off against the Loan and repay the bank borrowings by the proceeds of the Disposal than obtaining external debt financing, which will not only incur additional interest costs but also increase the Company’s gearing ratio.

Furthermore, part of the net proceeds arising from the Disposal will be used by the Remaining Group as general working capital. The Directors are of the view that the Disposal will help to improve the cash position of the Remaining Group and to ensure the Remaining Group to have sufficient working capital for its operation in the future.

– 17 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Subject to the Completion of the Disposal, Dongguan Kario agreed to lease the Leased Properties to the Remaining Group for its production of electrical haircare products. The Lease arrangement will save the Remaining Group from the hassle, time and expenditure of relocation and setting up new production facilities and ensure that there is no disruption to the current production of the products of the Remaining Group as it has leased part of the plant areas of the Leased Properties from the Disposed Group since 2013. The Directors are of the view that it is in the interest of the Remaining Group to maintain its production capacities as it would provide flexibility for the Remaining Group to manufacture in-house or purchase from external suppliers depending on the needs of the Remaining Group and market conditions.

Kenford Industrial is the trading arm of the Group and it sourced electrical haircare products from various PRC suppliers, including the Disposed Group, for the supplies to its customers. During the three years ended 31 March 2021, the aggregate transaction amounts of the purchase of electrical haircare products by Kenford Industrial from the Disposed Group were approximately HK$1.7 million, HK$27.0 million, and HK$54.4 million, respectively. In light of the past relationship between Kenford Industrial and the Disposed Group, the Directors are of the view that the Purchasing Agreement will ensure that Kenford Industrial to have continuous and stable supply of the electrical haircare products from a reliable partner if and when needed without committing to any minimum purchasing requirement.

Having considered the reasons for and the benefits of the Disposal, the Lease and the Purchase set out above, the Directors (including independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that (i) the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; and (ii) the terms of the Lease Agreement and the Purchasing Agreement (including the Proposed Annual Caps) and the transactions contemplated thereunder have been entered into on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary course of the business of the Group, and are therefore fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

None of the Directors had a material interest in the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Lease Agreement and the Purchasing Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and hence no Directors are required to abstain from voting on the Board resolutions approving the Disposal, the Lease and the Purchase.

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECT OF THE GROUP

With reference to the existing principal haircare appliances businesses, the Group anticipates that the business will be confronted with several key challenges. These include sluggish demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the pressure from customers to lower the selling price, a shortage of skilled labour in Mainland China, the shorter product life cycles of consumer electronic products as well as volatile capital markets and currency fluctuations. At the same time, the predictability of future sales orders received is comparatively low which presents difficulties in planning the allocation of resources.

Looking ahead, it is expected that the COVID-19 and the Sino-US trade war will continue to pose challenges to all industries. Although the Group are facing unpredictable challenges and uncertainties, we remain optimistic towards our business development in the medium and long run. In terms of market demand, as the COVID-19 vaccination rate worldwide is increasing, many countries are loosening business and social activities restrictions. Hopefully, it will lead to a rapid economic recovery and resume a higher demand for our products. Simultaneously, the Group will monitor the business operations, control and reduce unnecessary expenses so as to save costs.

The Group will continue to explore opportunities, to expand and diversify its businesses and activities, with a view to create new sources of income and to maximise the return to the Company and its shareholders in the long run.

China Overseas Nuoxin International Holdings Limited

Unit B, 12/F, Hang Seng Causeway Bay Building, 28 Yee Wo Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong

Dear Sir/Madam,

Re: Property Valuation of an industrial development located at Xiakeng Village, Changpang Town, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, the People’s Republic of China

In accordance with your instructions for us to value the property to be disposed by China Overseas Nuoxin International Holdings Limited (the ‘‘Company’’, and together with its subsidiaries, the ‘‘Group’’) located in the People’s Republic of China (the ‘‘PRC’’), we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market values of the property as at 31 July 2021 (the ‘‘Date of Valuation’’) for the purpose of incorporation in the Circular of the Company dated 21 September 2021.

1. BASIS OF VALUATION

Our valuation of the property is our opinion of the market values of the concerned property which we would define as intended to mean ‘‘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’’.

Market value is understood as the value of an asset or liability estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase (or transaction) and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.

2. VALUATION METHODOLOGY

Due to the specific purpose for which most of the buildings and structures of the property have been constructed, there are no readily identifiable market comparables. Thus, the buildings and structures have been valued on the basis of their depreciated replacement costs instead of direct comparison method. The depreciated replacement cost approach (‘‘DRC’’) is based on an estimate of the market value for the existing use of the land, plus the current cost of replacement of the existing structures less deductions for physical deterioration and all

APPENDIX II

relevant forms of obsolescence and optimization. In practice, DRC approach may be used as a substitute for the market value of specialized property, due to the lack of market comparables available.

3. TITLE INVESTIGATION

We have been provided with copies of title documents and have been advised by the Group that no further relevant documents have been produced. However, we have not examined the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain the existence of any amendment documents, which may not appear on the copies handed to us. In the course of our valuation, we have relied upon the advice given by the Group’s PRC legal adviser, Jianda Law Firm, regarding the titles of the property located in the PRC.

4. VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the owner sells the property in the market in their existing states without the benefit of deferred term contracts, joint ventures, management agreements or any similar arrangements which would serve to affect the values of such property. In addition, no account has been taken of any option or right of pre-emption concerning or affecting the sale of the property and no allowance has been made for the property to be sold in one lot or to a single purchaser.

5. SOURCE OF INFORMATION

In the course of our valuation, we have relied to a very considerable extent on the information provided by the Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, identification of property, particulars of occupation, site/floor areas, ages of buildings and all other relevant matters which can affect the values of the property. All documents have been used for reference only.

We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us. We have also been advised that no material facts have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view, and have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.

6. VALUATION CONSIDERATION

We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of certain property. No structural survey has been made in respect of the property. However, in the course of our inspections, we did not note any serious defects. We are not, however, able to report that the property is free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out on any of the building services.

We have not carried out on-site measurement to verify the site/floor areas of the property under consideration but we have assumed that the site/floor areas shown on the documents handed to us are correct. Except as otherwise stated, all dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificates are based on information contained in the documents provided to us by the Group and are therefore approximations.

8. VALUATION METHODOLOGY

Conventional valuation approaches include Market Approach, Income Approach, and Cost Approach. Each of these approaches is appropriate in one or more circumstances, and sometimes, two or more approaches may be used together. Whether to adopt a particular approach will be determined by the most commonly adopted practice in valuing the Disposed Group that are similar in nature.

8.1. Market Approach

The market approach measures the value of an asset through an analysis of recent sales or offerings of comparable property. Sales and offering prices are adjusted for differences in location, time of sale, utility, and the terms and conditions of sale between the asset being appraised and the comparable assets.

8.2. Income Approach

The income approach measures the value of an asset by the present value of its future economic benefits. These benefits can include earnings, cost savings, tax deductions and proceeds from its disposition.

8.3. Cost Approach

The cost approach measures the value of an asset by the cost to reproduce or replace it with another of like utility. To the extent that the asset being valued provides less utility than a new asset, the reproduction or replacement cost would be adjusted to reflect appropriate physical deterioration, functional and economic obsolescence.

– III-7 –

BUSINESS VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX III

9. ADOPTED APPROACH FOR THE VALUATION OF THE DISPOSED GROUP

Among the abovementioned valuation approaches, the selection of the valuation approach in valuing the Disposed Group is based on, among other criteria, the quantity and quality of the information provided, accessibility to available data, availability of relevant market transactions, uniqueness of the business operations and nature of the industry is participating, professional judgment and technical expertise.

The Income Approach is closest to pure theory, as the market value is derived from the present value of all future benefits. This approach implies that there is a direct relationship between the amount of income a property will earn and its value. Income approach relied heavily on a long term financial forecast, which requires subjective assumptions that are difficult to be justified. Therefore income approach is not adopted as a preferred approach in our case given the uncertainty of the future business development of the Disposed Group.

The Market Approach was not adopt in our case as there are no comparable companies that specialize in the design and production of hair dryers and account for more than 50% of the revenue.

The Asset-based Approach under the Cost Approach was considered to be the most appropriate valuation approach in this valuation. It is based on the economic principle of substitution; it essentially measures what is the net asset value as at the Date of Valuation and how much it would cost to replace those assets. The adjusted net asset value method is used to estimate the current fair value of the business or its assets.

10. MAJOR ASSUMPTIONS

In conducting our valuation work, certain major assumptions have to be adopted in order to sufficiently support our opinion of value. In addition, our valuation analyses are also subject to specific representations and certain principal assumptions that Management considers necessary and appropriate for adoption in our valuation analyses (as outlined below).

  • . The information provided and the representations made by the Management with regard to the Disposed Group’s financial and business affairs are accurate and reliable;

  • . The Disposed Group will continue to operate as a going concern;

  • . The Disposed Group has obtained all necessary permits, business certificates, licenses and legal approvals to operate the business and all relevant permits, business certificates, licenses and legal approvals to operate the business in the localities in which the Disposed Group operates or intends to operate would be officially obtained and renewable upon expiry with de minimis expenses;

  • . There will be sufficient supply of technical staff in the industry in which the Disposed Group operates or intends to operate, and the Disposed Group will retain competent management, key personnel and technical staff to support their ongoing operations and developments;

  • . As advised by the Management, the carrying amounts of the plant & machinery, furniture & fixtures, equipments, motor vehicles and leasehold improvements approximate the fair values of these assets;

  • . As advised by the Management, receivables, prepayment and deposits are short-term and liquid which are expected to be realized within a short period of time. Thus, the carrying amounts of these current assets approximate their fair values;

  • . As advised by the Management, the carrying amounts of current liabilities represent the amounts that the Disposed Group has to be settled. Thus, the carrying amounts of these current liabilities approximate their fair values;

  • . According to the Management, there is no material amount of expected credit losses for the accounts receivable;

  • . As advised by the Management, there are no undisclosed actual or contingent assets or liabilities as of the Date of Valuation;

  • . As advised by the Management, there is no identifiable intangible asset as of the Date of Valuation; and
