CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the main board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

VerY SUbStaNtIaL aCQUISItIoN
The Board is pleased to announce that on 24 November 2010, each of the Sale and Purchase Agreements in relation to the Acquisition was entered, details of which are set out below:
date and parties of the first Sale and Purchase agreement
Date : 24 November 2010 Parties : (a) Purchaser: Kenson Assets Limited, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. (b) First Vendor: Kindness Spirit Company Limited, holding 70 issued ordinary shares of the Target Company, representing 70% of the entire issued share capital of the Target Company. (c) Guarantor: Mr. Ling Koon Wah.

Letter from the board
date and parties of the Second Sale and Purchase agreement
Date : 24 November 2010
Parties : (a) Purchaser: Kenson Assets Limited, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
(b) Second Vendor : King Fuk Holdings Limited, holding 30 issued ordinary shares of the Target Company, representing 30% of the entire issued share capital of the Target Company.
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, (i) each of the Vendors is principally engaged in investment holding; and (ii) each of the Guarantor, the Vendors and their respective ultimate beneficial owners is an Independent Third Party.
assets to be acquired
Under the First Sale and Purchase Agreement, the First Sale Shares, comprising 70% of the entire issued share capital of the Target Company, will be acquired by the Purchaser.
Under the Second Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Second Sale Shares, comprising 30% of the entire issued share capital of the Target Company, will be acquired by the Purchaser.
In aggregate, 100% of the issued share capital of the Target Company will be acquired under the Acquisition, if both of the Sale and Purchase Agreements are completed.
Consideration
The aggregate consideration of HK$33.60 million (comprising (i) HK$23.52 million payable to the First Vendor; and (ii) HK$10.08 million payable to the Second Vendor) will be satisfied by the Group in cash upon the respective completion of each of the Sale and Purchase Agreements, both of which will be satisfied by internal resources of the Group and funds to be raised in the SM Placing. If the SM Placing cannot be completed, the Acquisition will be solely financed by the internal resources of the Group.
The aggregate consideration payable by the Group to the Vendors under the Sale and Purchase Agreements is negotiated between the Purchaser and the Vendors on an arm’s length basis after taking into account the financial performance of the Target Company for the past financial year/period, the profit guarantee given by the First Vendor under the First Sale and Purchase Agreement and the synergy to be created for the Group’s current advertising business after completion of the Acquisition. Apart from the past financial performance of the Target Company, the Company also looks at the future prospects of the advertising and public relations business and its potential long term growth upon the Acquisition. As at the Latest Practicable
- 7 -
Letter from the board
Date, the audited profit before taxation of the Target Company for the nine months ended 30 September 2010 is approximately HK$7,190,000, which is more than double of the audited profit before taxation of the Target Company for the nine months ended 31 December 2009. Further, it is anticipated that with more corporate finance activities in Hong Kong in the coming years, there will be more demand on the advertising and public relations services. As the Target Company has been established for about 9 years and has a reasonable size of clientele, the Company is of the view that the Acquisition is a good opportunity for the Group to expand its advertising and public relations business. The Directors are confident that with solid experience of the management team of the Target Company and the support from the Group for development and expansion after completion of the Acquisition, the Target Company would generate profits for the Group in the future. Based on the above, the Board is of the view that the aggregate consideration of HK$33.60 million for the Acquisition is fair and reasonable.
Consideration adjustment
Under the First Sale and Purchase Agreement, the First Vendor has irrevocably warranted and guaranteed to the Purchaser that the audited net profit after tax and extraordinary or exceptional items of the Target Company will be not less than HK$5,000,000 for the financial year ending 31 December 2010 (the “ Guaranteed Period ”).
If the actual audited net profit after tax and any extraordinary or exceptional items of the Target Company for the Guaranteed Period (the “ actual Profit ”) is less than HK$5,000,000, then the consideration payable to the First Vendor shall be adjusted by the First Vendor paying to the Purchaser the shortfall in an amount in HK$ calculated as follows:
A = (HK$5,000,000 – Actual Profit) x 6.72 (being the price/earning ratio of the Target Company in the Acquisition)
where A is the amount in HK$ the First Vendor shall pay to the Purchaser when there is a shortfall in the Actual Profit.
The total amount payable by the First Vendor calculated in the above shall not exceed HK$33.60 million (being the aggregate consideration for the First Sale Shares and the Second Sale Shares). For the avoidance of doubt, should the Target Company record a loss in its audited financial statements for the Guaranteed Period, the Actual Profit shall be deemed as zero.
Conditions precedent
Completion of the transactions under each of the Sale and Purchase Agreements shall be conditional upon and subject to:
-
(a) the passing by the Shareholders at the EGM to be convened and held of an ordinary resolution to approve the relevant Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder; and
-
8 -
Letter from the board
- (b) the warranties given by the relevant Vendor under the relevant Sale and Purchase Agreement remaining true and accurate in all respects.
In addition to the above conditions, completion of the First Sale and Purchase Agreement is also conditional upon the Purchaser being satisfied with the results of a due diligence review of the Target Company.
Each of the relevant Vendors and the Purchaser shall use its best endeavours to procure fulfillment of all the conditions above under the respective Sale and Purchase Agreements. The Purchaser may at any time by notice in writing to any of the Vendors waive condition (b) under the relevant Sale and Purchase Agreement. If the conditions set out above have not been satisfied (or as the case may be, waived by the Purchaser) on or before 4:00 p.m. on 31 March 2011, or such later date as the relevant Vendor and the Purchaser may agree in writing, the relevant Sale and Purchase Agreement shall cease and determine and thereafter neither party shall have any obligations and liabilities towards each other thereunder save for any antecedent breaches of the terms thereof.
For the avoidance of doubt, completion of the acquisition of the First Sale Shares is not conditional upon completion of the acquisition of the Second Sale Shares, and vice versa.
Completion
Subject to the fulfillment (or waiver as the case may be) of all the conditions precedent mentioned above, the respective completion under the relevant Sale and Purchase Agreement shall take place on any date falling within three business days thereafter.
The Company has no intention to change its board composition nor its existing business upon completion of the Acquisition. In the event that the acquisition of the First Sale Shares is completed but the acquisition of the Second Sale Shares cannot be completed, the Group will hold 70% of the entire issued share capital of the Target Company. The Target Company will become a subsidiary of the Company and its financial results will be consolidated into the Group’s financial statements. In the event the acquisition of the Second Sale Shares is completed but the acquisition of the First Sale Shares cannot be completed, the Group will hold 30% of the entire issued share capital of the Target Company. The Target Company will then become an associated company of the Group and equity accounting will be applied for such investment.
Guarantee under the first Sale and Purchase agreement
In consideration of the Purchaser entering into the First Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Guarantor has agreed to guarantee the due and punctual performance of the obligations of the First Vendor pursuant to the terms and conditions of the First Sale and Purchase Agreement.

Letter from the board
financial impact of the acquisition on the Group
Immediately after completion of the Acquisition, the Target Company will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the financial results of the Target Company will be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Group had an audited net loss of approximately HK$1,456,000 for the year ended 30 June 2010. Based on the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income of the Enlarged Group contained in Appendix III to this circular, the Enlarged Group would have a net profit of approximately HK$454,000 for the year ended 30 June 2010 assuming that completion of the Acquisition had taken place on 1 July 2009.
The Group had audited total assets and total liabilities of approximately HK$147.50 million and HK$1.60 million respectively as at 30 June 2010. Based on the unaudited pro forma total assets and total liabilities as set out in the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group contained in Appendix III to this circular, the total assets and the total liabilities of the Enlarged Group would have been increased to approximately HK$149.60 million and HK$4.50 million as at 30 June 2010 respectively assuming that completion of the Acquisition had taken place on 30 June 2010.

reasons for and benefits of the acquisition
The Group is principally engaged in the provision of diagnostic testing and healthcare services, and sale of pharmaceutical products, provision of related research and development, advertising and public relationship services, property investment and investment holding.
The Board considers that the Acquisition represents a strategic opportunity to the Group to strengthen its advertising and public relationship services business. With a view to occupying a greater market share in the public relations industry, the Group is dedicated to providing financial backup to the Target Company for development and expansion after completion of the Acquisition to strengthen its marketing force. Given that the economic conditions in Hong Kong and the PRC are growing steadily, the Company is optimistic about the prospect of the advertising and public relations business of the Target Company. Further, the profit guarantee on the Target Company’s results in 2010 given by the First Vendor demonstrates that it is confident on the prospects of the Target Company, which view is shared by the Group. This also provides an effective means to eliminate uncertainty as to the results of the Target Company for the year ending 31 December 2010 from the perspective of the Group.
Moreover, the Board considers that the Target Company can complement the Group’s existing operations. As the Company is listed on GEM, it can benefit from the advertising and public relations service for corporate planning and communications to the public provided by the Target Company on a regular basis. The Acquisition will enable the experienced management team of the Target Company to work closely with the Company and to offer tailor-made, target-integrated communication strategies to the Company in a timely and professional manner and thus to enhance the corporate image of the Group. Meanwhile, one of the businesses of the Group is to provide advertising and public relationship

Letter from the board
services, in particular in the area of design and publication of promotional materials. Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Group can assist the Target Company to produce high quality promotional materials to its clients and add values to the services of the Target Company so that the competitiveness of the services of the Enlarged Group can be enhanced.
Having considered the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of each of the Sale and Purchase Agreements are fair and reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
After completion of the acquisition of the First Sale Shares and the Second Sale Shares (which is not inter-conditional upon each other), the Target Company will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company whose assets and liabilities and results will be fully consolidated into the accounts of the Group.
Due to the same nature of the subject matter to be acquired under each of the Sale and Purchase Agreements, the transactions contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreements shall be aggregated under Rule 19.22 of the GEM Listing Rules. Hence, the Acquisition constitutes a very substantial acquisition on the part of the Company under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules. As such, each of the Sale and Purchase Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder shall be subject to the Shareholders’ approval at the EGM. Since Mr. Chow, an executive Director holding 18,000 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, is also one of the directors of the Target Company, he is regarded as having a material interest in the Acquisition and will abstain from voting at the EGM on the relevant resolution(s) approving the Acquisition. Other than Mr. Chow, no Shareholders have a material interest in the Acquisition and are required to abstain from voting at the EGM on the relevant resolution(s) approving the Acquisition.

- (iii) a discount of approximately 15.82% to the closing price of HK$0.196 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date.

The Company has no intention to change its board composition upon completion of the SM Placing.
Specific mandate to issue new Shares
The SM Placing Shares will be issued under the specific mandate to allot, issue and deal with the Shares granted to the Directors by resolution of the Shareholders to be passed at the EGM.

Letter from the board
on the relevant resolution(s) approving the SM Placing. Other than Mr. Chow, no Shareholders have a material interest in the SM Placing and are required to abstain from voting at the EGM on the relevant resolution(s) approving the SM Placing.
application for listing
Application will be made by the Company to the GEM Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the SM Placing Shares.
reasons for the Sm Placing and use of proceeds
The Board considers that the SM Placing will strengthen the Group’s financial position, and enlarge the shareholders’ base of the Company which may, in turn, enhance the liquidity of the Shares.
The maximum gross proceeds from the SM Placing will be approximately HK$83.44 million. The maximum net proceeds (after deducting the placing commission, professional fees and other expenses incidental to the SM Placing) are estimated to be approximately HK$80.30 million, representing a net issue price of approximately HK$0.159 per SM Placing Share. The Board intends to use the net proceeds from the SM Placing as listed in the business plan below:
-
Uses Approximate amount (1) to finance the aggregate consideration of the Acquisition HK$33.60 million (2) to expand the Group’s property investments business including HK$40.00 million but not limited to potential purchases of three to four commercial and retail units for leasing purpose in commercial buildings and plazas in order to generate a stable source of income, but the Company has no specific target at this moment
-
(3) to expand the business of the Target Company and the existing HK$6.70 million healthcare and pharmaceutical related business of the Group
Total:
HK$80.30 million
As the net proceeds from the SM Placing can finance the aggregate consideration of the Acquisition and strengthen the various business areas of the Group as well as the Target Company, the Directors consider that the SM Placing is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
In the event that either one or both of the Sale and Purchase Agreements cannot proceed to completion, the Company will use the relevant proceeds of up to HK$33.60 million from the SM Placing for investment opportunities in other businesses including but not limited to the property investments business that is beneficial to the future developments and long term growth of the business of the Group.

Set out below is the management discussion and analysis of the Group, most of which are extracted from the respective annual reports of the Company for the three years ended 30 June 2010.

Financial review
For the year ended 30 June 2008, the Group recorded a turnover of approximately HK$1,597,000, representing an increase of 23.05% compared with that of last financial year.

Basic loss per share was approximately HK5.356 cents, compared with the basic earnings per share of approximately HK0.223 cents in the last financial year. The reason was mainly attributable to losses in the valuation of convertible bonds issued by the Company in January 2008 and in the Group’s securities investment caused by the downturn in the Hong Kong’s stock market.
A net loss of approximately HK$360,925,000 was recorded for the year (2007: a net profit of approximately HK$8,396,000). In view of the Group’s active development of its core businesses and potential acquisitions and expansion, the Board did not recommend the payment of dividend for the year ended 30 June 2008.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
Despite the growth of the Group’s core medical and healthcare businesses, a downturn in Hong Kong’s stock market since the last quarter of 2007 led to a net loss recorded for the year under review. Loss related to securities investment accounted for approximately HK$15,256,000. However, we managed to minimize the loss by taking a more conservative investment strategy and reducing our exposure in the second half of the financial year under review.
Since 9 September 2008 which was the final closing date of a voluntary conditional securities exchange offer made by Hong Kong Health Check and Laboratory Holdings Company Limited (“HK Health Check”, now known as “China Gogreen Assets Investment Limited”) to acquire all issued shares of the Company (other than those already held by HK Health Check and parties acting in concert with it), HK Health Check has become the holding company of the Company.

As at 30 June 2008, Current ratio (defined as total current assets divided by total current liabilities) was approximately 0.46 times (2007: approximately 13.71 times). Gearing ratio, expressed as a percentage of total liabilities over total assets was approximately 2.14 (2007: approximately 0.07).
The Group had no bank borrowing as at 30 June 2008 (2007: Nil).
Capital structure
As at 30 June 2008, capital deficiency attributable to Shareholders was approximately HK$262,958,000 (2007: total equity approximately HK$38,055,000).
Exchange Exposure
Most of the trading transactions, assets and liabilities of the Group were denominated in Hong Kong dollars.
It is the Group’s policy for its operating entities to operate in their corresponding local currencies to minimize currency risks. The Group had an insignificant exchange risk exposure since the principal businesses was conducted and recorded in Hong Kong dollars during the year under review.

Pharmaceutical business
The pharmaceutical industry in Hong Kong and PRC has been flourishing amidst the recovery of the macro-economy. The Group has grasped the opportunity to further sustain its foothold in the pharmaceutical market.
The Group will continue to maintain and consolidate its position as one of the providers of specialized diagnostic testing and professional healthcare services for private and public medical institutions.

The Directors considered that the completion (which took place on 3 November 2010) of acquisition of the Island Kingdom Company Limited, which has a good market reputation and broad client base, represents a good opportunity for the Group to re-enter into the healthcare and pharmaceutical markets in Hong Kong. Further, the Directors believe that the business currently engaged in by the Island Kingdom Company Limited and its subsidiaries (“ Island Kingdom Group ”) can complement the Group’s existing business, which will enable the Group to tap the market potential of pharmaceutical products and health supplements through the established distribution channels of the Island Kingdom Group. The Directors are confident that with the experience of the management of the Island Kingdom Group and the financial support from the Group, the financial performance of the Island Kingdom Group is expected to turnaround and would generate profits to the Group in the near future.
After such completion, the Group has been actively identifying ways to diversify the products range of the Island Kingdom Group to include different kinds of pharmaceutical products, health food and healthcare products with the aim to enhance client base in Hong Kong.

We have for the purpose of this report, carried out appropriate audit procedures in respect of the Underlying Financial Statements in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA.
We have examined the Underlying Financial Statements in accordance with the Auditing Guideline 3.340 “Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant” issued by the HKICPA.
The Financial Information of the Target Company for the Relevant Periods set out in this report has been prepared based on the Underlying Financial Statements for the purpose of preparing our report for inclusion in the Circular. No adjustments were considered necessary to adjust the Underlying Financial Statements in preparing our report for inclusion in the Circular.
The Underlying Financial Statements are the responsibility of the directors of the Target Company who approved their issue. The directors of the Company are responsible for the contents of the Circular in which this report is included. It is our responsibility to compile the Financial Information from the Underlying Financial Statements, to form an independent opinion on the Financial Information and to report our opinion to you.
In our opinion, the Financial Information together with the notes thereto gives, for the purpose of this report, a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Target Company as at 31 March 2008, 31 March 2009, 31 December 2009 and 30 September 2010 and of its results and cash flows for each of the Relevant Periods.

Our review of the 30 September 2009 Financial Information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we could become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the 30 September 2009 Financial Information.
On the basis of our review which does not constitute an audit, we are not aware of any material modifications should be made to the 30 September 2009 Financial Information.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
Notes to the financial information
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Financial Information has been prepared on the historical cost convention except as otherwise stated in the accounting policies set out below.
The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the Financial Information includes applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
The Financial Information of the Target Company is presented in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), which is the same as the functional currency of the Target Company.
2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Financial Information for the Relevant Periods, the Target Company has consistently applied HKFRSs, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”), amendments and interpretations (“INT”) issued by the HKICPA that are effective for annual accounting years beginning on or after 1 January 2010.
The Target Company has not early applied the following new or revised standards, amendments or interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective.
HKFRSs (Amendments) Improvements to HKFRSs 2010[1] HKAS 24 (Revised) Related Party Disclosures[2] HKAS 32 (Amendment) Classification of Rights Issues[3] HKFRS 1 (Amendment) Limited Exemption from Comparative HKFRS 7 Disclosures for First-time Adopters[4] HKFRS 7 (Amendment) Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets[5] HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments[6] HK(IFRIC)–Int 14 (Amendment) Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement[2] HK(IFRIC)–Int 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments[4]
1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010 and 1 January 2011, as appropriate.
2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011.
3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2010.
4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2010.
5 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011.
6 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.
HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and will be effective from 1 January 2013, with earlier application permitted. The standard requires all recognized financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to be measured at either amortized cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that (i) are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows and (ii) have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortized cost. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at fair value. The application of HKFRS 9 might affect the classification and measurement of the Target Company’s financial assets.
The directors of the Target Company anticipate that the application of the other new and revised HKFRSs will have no material impact on the financial performance and financial position of the Target Company.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for services provided in the course of the ordinary activities and net of discounts.
Service income is recognized when the services are provided.
Interest income from a financial asset is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Operating lease
Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are recognized as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment including buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, are stated in the statement of financial position at cost, less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Depreciation is recognized so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of the Target Company, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the Target Company are recorded in the respective functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Target Company operates) at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the translation of monetary items, are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except for exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of the Target Company’s net investment in a foreign operation, in which case, such exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income in the Financial Information and will be reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the foreign operation. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period except for differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which cases, the exchange differences are recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
Retirement benefit costs
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit scheme are charged as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.
Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year/period. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Target Company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of the reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Target Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is recognized in profit or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the deferred tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
Impairment of tangible assets
At the end of the reporting period, the Target Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized as an expense immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount under another standard, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease under that standard.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount under another standard, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase under that standard.
- 43 -
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Target Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Target Company will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect is material).
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Target Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets
The Target Company’s financial assets are classified into one of the three categories, including financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), available-for-sale (AFS) financial assets and loans and receivables. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Income is recognized on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than financial assets classified as at FVTPL, of which interest income is included in net gains and losses.
- 44 -
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is either held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.
A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:
-
it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling it in the near future; or
-
on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Target Company manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
-
it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:
-
such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or
-
the financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Target Company’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or
-
it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and HKAS 39 permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.
Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset.
AFS financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated or not classified as financial assets at FVTPL, loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments.
Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period. Changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of investments revaluation reserve until the financial asset is disposed of or determined to be impaired, at which time, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in the investments revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss (see the accounting policy in respect of impairment loss on financial assets below).
For available-for-sale equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured and derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity investments, they are measured at cost less any identified impairment losses at the end of the reporting period (see the accounting policy in respect of impairment loss on financial assets below).
- 45 -
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables (including trade and other receivables, amount due from a related company and cash and bank balances) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment (see the accounting policy in respect of impairment loss on financial assets below).
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of the reporting period. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.
For an AFS equity investment, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.
For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include:
-
significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or
-
default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or
-
it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization.
For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Target Company’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
For financial assets carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss.
For financial assets measured at amortized cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment not been recognized.
- 46 -
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
In respect of AFS equity securities, impairment losses previously recognized in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss in subsequent periods. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an impairment loss is recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading of investments revaluation reserve. In respect of AFS debt securities, impairment losses are subsequently reversed if an increase in the fair value of investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.
Financial liabilities and equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Target Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. The Target Company’s financial liabilities are generally classified into financial liabilities at FVTPL and other financial liabilities.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees on points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Interest expense is recognized on an effective interest basis other than financial liabilities classified as at FVTPL, of which interest expense is included in net gains and losses.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is either held for trading or it is designated as at FVTPL on initial recognition.
A financial liability is classified as held for trading if:
-
it has been acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or
-
on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Target Company manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profittaking; or
-
it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
A financial liability other than a financial liability held for trading may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:
-
such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or
-
47 -
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
-
the financial liability forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Target Company’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or
-
it forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and HKAS 39 permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss includes any interest paid on the financial liabilities.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities (including trade and other payables and amount due to a director) are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Target Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Derecognition
The Target Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when a financial asset is transferred, the Target Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Target Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset the Target Company recognizes its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the Target Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Target Company continues to recognize the financial asset and also recognizes a collateralized borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognized in profit or loss.
The Target Company derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Target Company’s obligations are discharged, canceled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.
Related parties
A party is considered to be related to the Target Company if:
-
(a) the party, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, (i) controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Target Company; (ii) has an interest in the Target Company that gives it significant influence over the Target Company; or (iii) has joint control over the Target Company;

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Target Company’s accounting policies, which are described in Note 3, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the Relevant Periods in which the estimates are revised if the revisions affect only that period, or in the period of the revisions and future periods if the revisions affect both current and future periods.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of each reporting period that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial period.
Estimated impairment loss of trade and other receivables
The Target Company’s policy for doubtful receivables is based on the on-going evaluation of the collectability and aging analysis of the trade and other receivables and on management’s judgments. Considerable judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realization of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each debtor, and the present values of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rates. If the financial conditions of the Target Company’s debtors were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional impairment loss of trade and other receivables may be required.
5. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Target Company manages its capital to ensure that the Target Company will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The Target Company’s overall strategy remains unchanged during the Relevant Periods.
The capital structure of the Target Company consists of cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to owners of the Target Company, comprising issued share capital and retained profits.
- 49 -
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
The management reviews the capital structure regularly. As part of this review, the management considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the management, the Target Company will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends and the issue of new shares.

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Target Company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risks (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The management has been monitoring these risk exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner so as to mitigate or reduce such risks.
The Target Company’s major financial instruments include trade and other receivables, amount due from a related company, cash and bank balances, trade and other payables and amount due to a director. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.
Foreign currency risk management
The Target Company has minimal exposure to foreign currency risk as most of its business transactions, assets and liabilities are denominated in Hong Kong dollars. The Target Company currently does not have a formal foreign currency hedging policy. However, the management monitors foreign exchange exposure closely and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
Interest rate risk management
The Target Company has minimal exposure to interest rate risk as the Target Company did not have any interest-bearing liabilities during the Relevant Periods. The management of the Target Company considers that the Target Company’s exposure to interest rate risk was minimal during the Relevant Periods. The Target Company currently does not have a formal interest rate hedging policy. However, the management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider hedging the interest rate risk should the need arise.
Other price risks
As the Target Company has no significant investments in financial instruments at fair values, the Target Company is not exposed to significant price risk.
Credit risk management
At the end of each reporting period, the Target Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Target Company due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties is arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the statement of financial position.
In order to minimize the credit risk, the management of the Target Company has delegated a team responsible for monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Target Company reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt and debt investment at the end of each reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Target Company consider that the Target Company’s credit risk is significantly reduced.
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
Other than concentration of credit risk on liquid funds which are deposited with several banks with high credit ratings, the Target Company does not have any other significant concentration of credit risk.
Liquidity risk management
The Target Company’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and long term.

(c) Fair value of financial instruments
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows.
-
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded in active markets are determined with reference to quoted market bid and ask prices respectively.
-
The fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding derivative instruments) are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models (e.g. discounted cash flow analysis using observable and/or unobservable inputs).
-
52 -
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON THE TARGET COMPANY
APPENDIX II
- The fair values of derivative instruments are calculated using quoted prices. Where such prices are not available, a discounted cash flow analysis is performed using the applicable yield curve for the duration of the instruments for non-optional derivatives, and option pricing models for optional derivatives.
The directors of the Target Company consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the Financial Information approximate to their fair values.
Fair value measurements recognized in the statement of financial position
Financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable:
-
Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
-
Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
At the end of each reporting period, the Target Company did not have any assets and liabilities that were measured at the above fair value measurements hierarchy.
7. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The directors of the Target Company review the Target Company’s internal financial reporting and other information and also obtain other relevant external information in order to assess performance and allocate resources and operating segment is identified with reference to these.
The directors of the Target Company consider that the business of the Target Company is organized in one operating segment as provision of advertising and public relation services in Hong Kong.

- 2.1 The adjustment reflects the estimated costs related to the Acquisition amounting to HK$800,000 expensed in profit or loss, as if the Acquisition had been completed at the commencement of the period being reported on. In accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 3 (Revised) “Business Combinations” (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2009), acquisition-related costs are costs the acquirer incurs to effect a business combination, and the acquirer shall account for acquisition-related costs as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received. This adjustment is not expected to have a continuing effect on the Enlarged Group.
3. Unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group under Scenario A
The following is the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group under Scenario A, as if the Acquisition had been completed at the date reported on (i.e. 30 June 2010). The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group under Scenario A has been prepared based on the audited consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2010 as extracted from the Company’s published annual report for the year ended 30 June 2010 and the audited statement of financial position of the Target Company as at 30 September 2010 as extracted from the accountants’ report on the Target Company (set out in Appendix II to this circular), after incorporating the pro forma adjustments as described in the accompanying notes to illustrate the effect of the Acquisition.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
APPENDIX III
Notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group under Scenario A:
-
3.1 The adjustment reflects the settlement of the aggregated cash consideration of HK$33,600,000 by the Group, based on (i) cash consideration of HK$23,520,000 for the acquisition of 70% equity interests in the Target Company under the First Sale and Purchase Agreement and (ii) cash consideration of HK$10,080,000 for the acquisition of 30% equity interests in the Target Company under the Second Sale and Purchase Agreement, as if the Acquisition had been completed at the date reported on. This adjustment is not expected to have a continuing effect on the Enlarged Group.
-
3.2 The adjustment reflects the elimination of the share capital of HK$100 and the pre-acquisition reserve of HK$8,815,702 of the Target Company, as if the Acquisition had been completed at the date reported on. For the purpose of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group under Scenario A, the pre-acquisition reserve of the Target Company of HK$8,815,702 represents the retained profits of the Target Company (based on the audited statement of financial position of the Target Company as at 30 September 2010 as set out in Appendix II to this circular).
For the purpose of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group under Scenario A, the net assets of the Target Company of HK$8,815,802 (represented by the share capital of HK$100 and the pre-acquisition reserve of HK$8,815,702 of the Target Company) have been assumed to approximate the fair values of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the Target Company on completion of the Acquisition. The excess of the aggregated cash consideration of HK$33,600,000 over the net assets of the Target Company of HK$8,815,802 amount to HK$24,784,198. As the Acquisition will be accounted for by applying the acquisition method, this excess is recognized as goodwill arising from the Acquisition on the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group under Scenario A. Since the actual fair values of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the Target Company on completion of the Acquisition would be different from their estimated fair values used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group under Scenario A presented above, the actual amount of goodwill arising from the Acquisition might be materially different from the estimated amount as shown in this Appendix.
For the purpose of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group under Scenario A, the Directors consider that no impairment is required in respect of the goodwill arising from the Acquisition taking into account the business potential of the Target Company and other factors as disclosed in the paragraph headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition” in the “Letter from the Board” in this circular. After completion of the Acquisition, the Group will perform annual impairment test for the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill has been allocated in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies and the requirements of Hong Kong Accounting Standard 36 “Impairment of Assets”.
- 3.3 The adjustment reflects the estimated costs related to the Acquisition amounting to HK$800,000 expensed in profit or loss, as if the Acquisition had been completed at the date reported on. This adjustment is not expected to have a continuing effect on the Enlarged Group.
4. Unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of cash flows of the Enlarged Group under Scenario A
The following is the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of cash flows of the Enlarged Group under Scenario A, as if the Acquisition had been completed at the commencement of the period being reported on (i.e. 1 July 2009).

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
APPENDIX III
Notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group under Scenario B:
-
6.1 The adjustment reflects the settlement of the cash consideration of HK$23,520,000 by the Group for the acquisition of 70% equity interests in the Target Company under the First Sale and Purchase Agreement, as if the acquisition of the First Sale Shares had been completed at the date reported on. This adjustment is not expected to have a continuing effect on the Enlarged Group.
-
6.2 The adjustment reflects (i) the elimination of the share capital of HK$100, (ii) the elimination of the pre-acquisition reserve of HK$8,815,702 of the Target Company and (iii) the recognition of the noncontrolling interests of the Target Company of HK$2,644,741 relating to King Fuk Holdings Limited’s holding of approximately 30% of the issued share capital of the Target Company, as if the acquisition of the First Sale Shares had been completed at the date reported on. For the purpose of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group under Scenario B, the pre-acquisition reserve of the Target Company of HK$8,815,702 represents the retained profits of the Target Company (based on the audited statement of financial position of the Target Company as at 30 September 2010 as set out in Appendix II to this circular).
For the purpose of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group under Scenario B, the net assets of the Target Company of HK$8,815,802 (represented by the share capital of HK$100 and the pre-acquisition reserve of HK$8,815,702 of the Target Company) have been assumed to approximate the fair values of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the Target Company on completion of the acquisition of the First Sale Shares. The excess of the cash consideration of HK$23,520,000 over 70% of the net assets of the Target Company of HK$6,171,061 amount to HK$17,348,939. As the acquisition of the First Sale Shares will be accounted for by applying the acquisition method, this excess is recognized as goodwill arising from the acquisition of the First Sale Shares on the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group under Scenario B. Since the actual fair values of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the Target Company on completion of the acquisition of the First Sale Shares would be different from their estimated fair values used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group under Scenario B presented above, the actual amount of goodwill arising from the acquisition of the First Sale Shares might be materially different from the estimated amount as shown in this Appendix.
For the purpose of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group under Scenario B, the Directors consider that no impairment is required in respect of the goodwill arising from the acquisition of the First Sale Shares taking into account the business potential of the Target Company and other factors as disclosed in the paragraph headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition” in the “Letter from the Board” in this circular. After completion of the acquisition of the First Sale Shares, the Group will perform annual impairment test for the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill has been allocated in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies and the requirements of Hong Kong Accounting Standard 36 “Impairment of Assets”.
-
6.3 The adjustment reflects the estimated costs related to the acquisition of the First Sale Shares amounting to HK$800,000 expensed in profit or loss, as if the acquisition of the First Sale Shares had been completed at the date reported on. This adjustment is not expected to have a continuing effect on the Enlarged Group.

Notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group under Scenario C:
- 9.1 The adjustment represents the recognition of interest in an associate in relation to the acquisition of 30% of equity interest in the Target Company, which was determined based on the cash consideration of HK$10,080,000 for the acquisition of the Second Sale Shares and the estimated related acquisition costs of HK$800,000, as if the acquisition of the Second Sale Shares had been completed at the date reported on.
The excess of the aggregate of the cash consideration for the acquisition of the Second Sale Shares of HK$10,080,000 and the estimated related acquisition costs of HK$800,000 over the Group’s share of 30% of the net assets of the Target Company as at 30 September 2010 of HK$2,644,741 (based on the audited statement of financial position of the Target Company as at 30 September 2010 as set out in Appendix II to this circular) amounting to HK$8,235,259 is recognized as goodwill arising from the acquisition of the Second Sale Shares and is included within the carrying amount of interest in an associate on the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group under Scenario C. For the purpose of preparing the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group under Scenario C, it has been assumed that the consolidated net assets of the Target Company as at 30 September 2010 approximate the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Company.
For the purpose of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group under Scenario C, the Directors consider that no impairment is required in respect of the interest in an associate taking into account the business potential of the Target Company and other factors as disclosed in the paragraph headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition” in the “Letter from the Board” in this circular. After completion of the acquisition of the Second Sale Shares, the carrying amount of the investment including goodwill will be tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell) with its carrying amount in accordance with the Company’s accounting policies and the requirements of Hong Kong Accounting Standard 36 “Impairment of Assets”.
-
9.2 The adjustment reflects the settlement of the cash consideration of HK$10,080,000 by the Group for the acquisition of the Second Sale Shares, as if the acquisition of the Second Sale Shares had been completed at the date reported on. This adjustment is not expected to have a continuing effect on the Enlarged Group.
-
9.3 The adjustment reflects the estimated costs related to the acquisition of the Second Sale Shares amounting to HK$800,000, as if the acquisition of the Second Sale Shares had been completed at the date reported on. This adjustment is not expected to have a continuing effect on the Enlarged Group.

Respective responsibilities of the directors of the Company and the reporting accountants

Basis of opinion
We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Investment Circular Reporting Engagements (HKSIR) 300 “Accountants’ Reports on Pro Forma Financial Information in Investment Circulars” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

This engagement did not involve independent examination of any of the underlying financial information.
We planned and performed our work so as to obtain the information and explanations we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been properly compiled by the directors of the Company on the basis stated, that such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group and that the adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information as disclosed pursuant to paragraph 7.31(1) of the GEM Listing Rules.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only, based on the judgments and assumptions of the directors of the Company, and, because of its hypothetical nature, does not provide any assurance or indication that any event will take place in the future and may not be indicative of:
-
the financial position of the Enlarged Group as at 30 June 2010 or any future date; or
-
the results or cash flows of the Enlarged Group for the year ended 30 June 2010 or any future periods.
