FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Looking forward to the year 2014/15, despite of a few uncertainties of the global economics, such as the adjustments to the macroeconomic policies of major economies and geopolitical tensions, the low interest rate environment is likely to continue, which favours the economic recovery. As the US government keeps on measured reductions in the pace of asset purchases; the economic environment of the European countries is improving; the Chinese government implements various simulative policies to ensure a moderate to high rate of growth while continuing its economic restructuring, the Group believes any changes to the global monetary policies in the future would be in a gradual and controlled manner. The global economy is expected to recover steadily.

For the Group’s real estate business, the direction of the local property market is still determined by the local government policies. Signs of demand for luxury residential properties arose over the past few months, which is likely to continue into the second half. The Group remains confident and optimistic towards the local property market. For the Matheson Street project, the Company still continues negotiating with owners of the properties of No. 11 and 13 Matheson Street to acquire those properties. On the other hand, the acquisition of No. 14 and 16 Inverness Road has been completed in 21 November 2014 and the acquisition of No. 18 and 20 Inverness Road is scheduled to be completed by January 2015, which provides the Company an imminent opportunity to redevelop the site for residential purpose.

For the Group’s garment business, ever rising sourcing and labor costs and transfer of customer orders placed the garment industry into a disadvantaged competitive position. Nevertheless, the Group would still use its best endeavours to maintain sales volume with the current customers and strengthen its marketing strategies to fit the prevailing industry trend. The turnover generated from the garment sourcing and export businesses segment is expected to remain stable in the second half.

The Group’s strategies are devised to create shareholder value in a long term sustainable manner. The Board is optimistic towards its core business and will seize all business opportunities in order to maximise the shareholder value.

5. MATERIAL CHANGE

The Directors confirm that there has been no material change in the financial or trading position or outlook of the Group since 31 March 2014, the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Company were made up, up to and including the Latest Practicable Date, save as mentioned below:

  • (i) As disclosed in the announcement of the Company on 3 April 2014, the Company received notice from Goodco, requesting for the conversion of the convertible note in the principal amount of HK$20.0 million.

The following procedures have been undertaken by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (“Deloitte”), the auditor of the Company, in accordance with the Hong Kong Standard on Related Services 4400 “Engagements to Perform Agreed Upon Procedures Regarding Financial Information” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”), with respect to the Tenancy Agreements.

Deloitte:

  • i. obtained the rental income summary and the rental income listing from the management of the Company and checked their arithmetical accuracy.

  • ii. compared the total amounts of rental income for the three years ended 31 March 2014 and the six months period ended 30 September 2014 as shown in the rental income summary to the respective total rental amounts as stated in the rental income listing.

  • iii. compared the particulars in the rental income listing to the tenancy agreements which were provided to Deloitte by the management of the Company.

Deloitte’s findings are:

  • a. With respect to item i, Deloitte found that the rental income summary and the rental income listing were arithmetically accurate.

  • b. With respect to item ii, Deloitte found that the total amounts of rental income for the three years ended 31 March 2014 and the six months period ended 30 September 2014 as shown in the rental income summary were in agreement with the respective total rental amounts shown in the rental income listing.

  • c. With respect to item iii, Deloitte found that the particulars as shown in the rental income listing were in agreement with those contained in the relevant tenancy agreements which were provided to Deloitte by the management of the Company.

Because the above procedures do not constitute an assurance engagement performed in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing, Hong Kong Standards on Review Engagements or Hong Kong Standards on Assurance Engagements, issued by the HKICPA, Deloitte does not express any assurance on the rental income summary or the rental income listing.

Had Deloitte performed additional procedures or had Deloitte performed an assurance engagement on the rental income summary or the rental income listing in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing or Hong Kong Standards on Review Engagements, Hong Kong Standards on Assurance Engagements issued by the HKICPA, other matters might have come to Deloitte’s attention that would have been reported to the Company.

  1. The directors of the Company are of the views that the omission of a profit and loss statement for the net income stream of the WL Property in the past would not render this circular materially incomplete and misleading or deceptive.

VALUATION OF THE WL PROPERTY

No valuation of the WL Property at the end of the three years ended 31 March 2014 has been disclosed herein as the Directors were unable to obtain any valuation reports from the Vendor.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANT’S ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

==> picture [115 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [67 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

TO THE DIRECTORS OF EASYKNIT ENTERPRISES HOLDINGS LIMITED

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of pro forma financial information of Easyknit Enterprises Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Group”) by the directors of the Company (the “Directors”) for illustrative purposes only. The pro forma financial information consists of the pro forma net assets statement as at 30 September 2014 and the pro forma condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the six months ended 30 September 2014 and related notes as set out on pages III-1 to III-4 of the circular issued by the Company dated 19 December 2014 (the “Circular”). The applicable criteria on the basis of which the Directors have compiled the pro forma financial information are described on pages III-1 to III-4 of the Circular.

The pro forma financial information has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the proposed very substantial acquisition of properties located at No. 18 and 20 Inverness Road, Kowloon Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong for a consideration of HK$169,500,000 (the “Very Substantial Acquisition”) on the Group’s financial position as at 30 September 2014 and the Group’s financial performance for six months ended 30 September 2014 as if the Very Substantial Acquisition had taken place on 30 September 2014 and 1 April 2014 respectively. As part of this process, information about the Group’s financial position and financial performance has been extracted by the Directors from the Group’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2014, on which no review report has been published.

Directors’ Responsibilities for the Pro Forma Financial Information

The Directors are responsible for compiling the pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”) and with reference to Accounting Guideline 7 “Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars” (“AG 7”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX III

Reporting Accountant’s Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the pro forma financial information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the pro forma financial information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3420 “Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus” issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountant comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Directors have compiled the pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules and with reference to AG 7 issued by the HKICPA.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information.

The purpose of pro forma financial information included in an investment circular is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the Group as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the Very Substantial Acquisition at 30 September 2014 or 1 April 2014 would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the Directors in the compilation of the pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

  • The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and

  • The pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant’s judgment, having regard to the reporting accountant’s understanding of the nature of the Group, the event or transaction in respect of which the pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

— III-6 —

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX III

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the pro forma financial information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion:

  • (a) the pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis stated;

  • (b) such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group; and

  • (c) the adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the pro forma financial information as disclosed pursuant to paragraph 4.29(1) of the Listing Rules.

The Directors Land Bloom Holdings Limited Block A, 7/F., Hong Kong Spinners Building, Phase 6 481-483 Castle Peak Road Cheung Sha Wan Kowloon Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

Re: Nos. 18 and 20 Inverness Road, Kowloon Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong (the “Properties”)

In accordance with the instructions of Land Bloom Holdings Limited (the “Company”) for us to value the Properties, we confirm that we have inspected the Properties, conducted land searches at the Land Registry, made relevant enquiries and investigations as well as obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing our opinion of value of the Properties as at 28 October 2014 (“the Valuation Date”).

Our valuation is our opinion of market value of the Properties which is defined as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing selling on an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

Our valuations have been prepared in accordance with “The HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition)” published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors, the relevant provisions in the Companies Ordinance and the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (Main Board).

— IV-1 —

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX IV

Our valuations have been made on the assumption that the Properties were sold in the market in its existing state without the effect of deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any other similar arrangement which might serve to affect the value of the Properties. In addition, no account has been taken of any option or right of pre-emption concerning or affecting the sale of the Properties.

We have valued the Properties by direct comparison approach with reference to market comparables with due allowances for the differences between the comparables and the Properties.

We have conducted land searches at the Land Registry but we have not scrutinised the original documents to ascertain ownership nor to verify any lease amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. All documents have been used for reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are therefore approximations.

The Properties were inspected externally on 28 October 2014 by Gilbert K. M. Yuen MHKIS MRICS RPS(GP) of Vigers Appraisal And Consulting Limited. However, no investigations have been carried out to determine the suitability of the subsoil condition of the land on which the Properties stand for the redevelopment and we assumed that these aspects are satisfactory. Our valuation does not make allowance for contamination or pollution of the land, if any, which may have occurred as a result of past usage. No test has been made to any of the services.

We have relied to a considerable extent on the information made available to us and we have accepted advice on such matters as planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, occupancy, tenure, site areas. We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company and we have been advised by the Company that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided.

No allowance has been made in our valuations for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the Properties for any expenses or taxation which might be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, we have assumed that the Properties are free from any encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could serve to affect the value of the Properties.

We enclose herewith our valuation certificate.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of

VIGERS APPRAISAL AND CONSULTING LIMITED

Gilbert K. M. Yuen MHKIS MRICS RPS(GP) Executive Director

Note: Mr. Gilbert K. M. Yuen is a Registered Professional Surveyor in General Practice Division with over 20 years’ valuation experience on properties in Hong Kong.
