The Target Company is an investment holding company incorporated in British Virgin Islands with limited liability and has no operation. The Target Company is wholly-owned by Premier Excel, which is legally and beneficially owned by the Executives, namely, Mr. Chan Kai Leung, Mr. Chow Chun Kit, Mr. Lau Yue Tung Alex, Ms. Wan Lam and Mr. Chan Kwong Choi, in equal shares. The Target Group is principally engaged in provision of systems integration and maintenance services in Hong Kong and the PRC through its subsidiaries, namely Macro Systems and MS Guangzhou. MSGL is an intermediate investment holding company and VTL has no operation.

Macro Systems, a limited company incorporated in Hong Kong in 1997, is the major operating subsidiary of the Target Group, focusing on provision of “One-stop” IT services in Hong Kong. The Target Group expanded its business to the PRC, by setting up MS Guangzhou, a wholly-owned foreign enterprise incorporated in the PRC in 2012.

The Target Group provides comprehensive end-to-end solutions and services, ranging from (i) procurement and deployment of IT equipment and facilities; (ii) systems integration; (iii) consulting services on IT infrastructure and business solutions; and (iv) technical support and managed services. Over the past 18 years, the Target Group has successfully provided services to over 1,000 enterprises in Hong Kong and the PRC, covering diverse business sectors, including but not limited to, telecommunications, logistic, tourism and hospitality education, and financial segments. Moreover, the Target Group has maintained long-term partnerships with a number of well-renowned enterprises, for instance, IBM, Lenovo and Huawai, etc. In addition, the Target Group is one of the 42 companies awarded with the Standard Offer Agreement for Quality Professional Services 3 (“ SOA-QPS3 ”) from the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

Financial information

Based on the latest financial information available to the Company as at the date of this announcement and subject to the audit by the reporting accountants of the Company, set out below are the unaudited consolidated financial information of the Target Group for the year ended 31 December 2014 (“ YE2014 ”), the year ended 31 December 2015 (“ YE2015 ”) and the six months ended 30 June 2016 (“ 1H2016 ”):

YE2014 YE2015 1H2016
(unaudited) (unaudited) (unaudited)
HK$’000 HK$’000 HK$’000
Revenue 57,623 38,007 11,365
Loss before taxation 1,906 5,087 3,811
Loss after taxation 1,906 5,087 3,811

The loss after taxation of the Target Group for YE2015 amounted to approximately HK$5.09 million, representing approximately 2.67 times in YE2014. The increase in loss was mainly due to insufficient operational fund for the Target Group which led to the decrease in number of job contracts and revenue of approximately HK$19.62 million, while the majority of administrative expenses, in particular staff costs, were fixed costs and therefore did not fall in the same magnitude.

As at 30 June 2016, the liabilities of the Target Group included, amongst others, an interest-bearing loan in the principal amount of HK$2 million from an indirect subsidiary of the Company. Such loan balance increased to HK$4 million as at the date of this announcement. The Directors confirmed the loans to the Target Group were made for the purpose of enhancing the working capital position of the Target Group.

As at the date of this announcement, the entire loan, together with the interests accrued thereon, has not yet been repaid. 50%, 25% and the remaining 25% of the loan balance of HK$4 million shall be repayable on or before 11 October 2016, 4 February 2017 and 1 March 2017 respectively.

As at 30 June 2016, net liabilities of the Target Group of HK$16.06 million was recorded.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION

The Group is principally engaged in the development and sale of computer software and hardware, the provision of system integration and related support services in the PRC. The Company has been seeking for business opportunities to broaden the business scope and diversify business of the Group and open up new income source.

In view of the fact that the Target Group, as one of the major players in the IT service management industry in Hong Kong and the PRC, has strong relationships with well-renowned suppliers and large scale customers, the Subscription also enjoys strong brand awareness and major presence in the Greater China region.

The Board expects that, through bringing in the Group’s seasoned management team into the Target Group and sharing technical know-how and existing customer bases between the Group and the Target Group, the Subscription will create synergies that allow the Group to better complement its existing business. In addition, given (i) the similarity of the business nature of the Group and the Target Group and (ii) that subject to entering into of the Service Contracts, each of the Executives will continue his/ her employment service to the Target Company for 3 years, the integration risks of the enlarged Group are expected to be minimal. The Board is of the view that the Subscription is in line with the Group’s business expansion plan. Furthermore, the Board believes, with financial support of the Group, the cash flow of the Target Group will be improved, which will facilitate the Target Company to engage in those large scale projects, which are generally of high profit margin.

Based on the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Subscription Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable, and the Subscription is in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE SUBSCRIPTION

The principal business of the Group will remain the same after Completion. Following Completion, the Target Group will become indirect non-wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and the financial results, assets and liabilities of the Target Group will be consolidated into the Group’s accounts.

PRINCIPAL ASSUMPTIONS RELATING TO THE VALUATION

Valor Appraisal & Advisory Limited (“ Valor Appraisal ”) was engaged to conduct the valuation of the Target Group (the “ Valuation ”). The fair value of the Target Company, prepared on a discounted cash flow basis, amounts to HK$10,605,000. In this respect, the Valuation constitutes a profit forecast under Rule 19.61 of the GEM Listing Rules. As such, the requirements under Rules 19.60A and 19.62 of the GEM Listing Rules are applicable to the Subscription. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, Valor Appraisal is a third party independent of the Company and its connected persons.

The Valuation has been based on the following key assumptions:

  1. there will be no material change in the existing political, legal, technological, fiscal or economic conditions which might adversely affect the economy in general and the operation of the subject business interest;

  2. there will be no major changes in the current taxation laws in Hong Kong;

  8. the Target Group will retain competent management, key personnel and technical staff for its operations and the relevant shareholders will support its ongoing operations;

  9. cash flow projection was based on the most recent financial budgets/forecasts provided by the management of the Group and the Target Group;

9

  1. capital expenditure projection was assumed to be same as depreciation projection;

  2. income tax expense projection was based on 16.5% statutory Hong Kong corporate tax rate; and

  3. working capital projection was based on historical average working capital turnover ratios.

The Directors confirm that the Valuation has been made after due and careful enquiry. INCU Corporate Finance Limited (“ INCU ”), as the financial adviser to the Company in relation to the Subscription, has reviewed the principal assumptions upon which the Valuation is based and are of the view that the Valuation has been made by the Directors after due care and enquiry with the Target Group. Zhonghui Anda CPA Limited (“ Zhonghui Anda ”), the reporting accountant of the Company, has checked the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations of the discounted future cash flow under the Valuation.

China Information Technology Development Limited

Dear Sirs,

We have examined the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations of the discounted cash flow forecast (the “ Forecast ”) underlying the valuation (the “ Valuation ”) of Macro China Holding Limited (the “ Target Company ”) performed by Valor Appraisal & Advisory Limited (the “ Valuer ”) in respect of the appraisal of the fair value of the Target Company as at the reference date of 30 June 2016 in connection with the announcement of China Information Technology Development Limited (the “ Company ”) dated 12 September 2016 (the “ Announcement ”).

Directors’ Responsibilities

The directors of the Company are solely responsible for the preparation of the Forecast and the reasonableness and validity of the assumptions based on which the Forecast is prepared (the “ Assumptions ”).

Our Independence and Quality Control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “ HKICPA ”), which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior.

The firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

16

Reporting Accountants’ Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion based on our reasonable assurance engagement, so far as the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations is concerned, on whether the Forecast has been properly compiled, in all material respects, in accordance with the Assumptions and to report our opinion solely to you, as a body, solely for the purpose in connection with the Announcement and for no other purpose. We accept no responsibility to any other person in respect of, arising out of, or in connection with our work.

The Assumptions include hypothetical assumptions about future events and management actions that may or may not necessarily be expected to occur. Even if the events and actions anticipated do occur, actual results are still likely to be different from the Forecast and the variation may be material. Accordingly we have not reviewed, considered or conducted any work on the reasonableness and the validity of the Assumptions and do not express opinion whatsoever thereon.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Investment Circular Reporting Engagements 500 “Reporting on Profit Forecasts, Statements of Sufficiency of Working Capital and Statements of Indebtedness” and with reference to Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised) “Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information” issued by the HKICPA. Our work was performed solely to assist the directors of the Company to evaluate, so far as the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations is concerned, whether the Forecast has been properly compiled, in all material respects, in accordance with the Assumptions.

We planned and performed our reasonable assurance engagement so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give our opinion. Our reasonable assurance engagement included:

  • a. checking the arithmetical calculations relating to the amounts presented in the Forecast; and

  • b. such other procedures that we considered necessary.

We believe that our reasonable assurance engagement provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our reasonable assurance engagement does not constitute an audit or a review conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing or Hong Kong Standards on Review Engagements issued by the HKICPA. Accordingly, we do not express an audit or a review opinion on the Forecast.

Because the Forecast relates to cash flows, no accounting policies of the Company have been adopted in its preparation.
