FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Looking forward to the year 2015/16, 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. Upon the completion of the acquisition of the Properties, the Company may commence negotiation with owners of the Remaining Unit to acquire that property.

For Inverness Road Project, the Company was the registered owner of all properties of Nos. 14, 16, 18 and 20 Inverness Road since January 2015, the Group planned to commence the redevelopment of the Inverness Road Project in May 2015. The Group estimated the redevelopment cost of Inverness Road Project is approximately HK$500 million to HK$550 million at current prices. The site will be developed into properties for residential use and the Directors estimated that it will take approximately 4 years. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no concrete plan to have any fund raising activities to finance this project but the Company shall consider different methods of future financing this project including but without limitation to bank financing and/or equity issuances in future. The general building plan to redevelop the Inverness Road Project has been submitted to Buildings Department in January 2015 and the approval shall be obtained in 6 months’ time; and the issuance of the consent for work commencement shall be obtained in early 2016. The construction works of the superstructure targets to commence in early 2017.

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.

1. PROFIT AND LOSS STATEMENT OF THE LEASED PROPERTIES

In accordance with Rule 14.69(4)(b)(i) of the Listing Rules, a profit and loss statement of the Leased Properties for the three financial years ended 31 March 2015 (“Relevant Financial Years”) is required to be included in this circular. The Company was provided with copies of the tenancy agreements (“Tenancy Agreements”) for the Leased Properties. Other than such limited information, despite requests made by the Company’s legal advisers in this transaction, the Company is unable to gain full access to the underlying books and records or other financial information of the Vendor regarding the direct costs and other expenses for the preparation of the financial information of the Leased Properties for the Relevant Financial Years in strict compliance with the requirements of Rule 14.69(4)(b)(i) of the Listing Rules.

The financial information of the Leased Properties for each of the Relevant Financial Years set out below has been prepared by the Directors solely based on the Tenancy Agreements provided by the Vendor.

  1. Save for the Tenancy Agreements and other publicly available information, the Directors do not have access to other financial information in relation to the Leased Properties. Due to the limited information available to them, the Directors, based on the terms of the Tenancy Agreements and the experience of the Company’s management, estimated that the other monthly expenses such as maintenance cost or insurance cost of the Leased Properties which are payable by the landlord is minimal. Accordingly, no other expenses such as maintenance cost, insurance cost or finance cost were included in the above financial information.

  2. Save for the information that the Company could not obtain from the Vendor(s), the financial information of the Leased Properties set out above is prepared using accounting policies which are materially consistent with those of the Company.

  3. 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 2015 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.

— II-2 —

APPENDIX II UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE PROPERTIES

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 2015 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 Leased Properties in the past would not render this circular materially incomplete and misleading or deceptive.

VALUATION OF THE LEASED PROPERTIES

No valuation of the Leased Properties at the end of the three years ended 31 March 2015 has been disclosed herein as the Directors were unable to obtain any valuation reports from the Vendor(s).

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-6 of the circular issued by the Company dated 22 April 2015 (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-6 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 certain properties located at No. 11 and 13 Matheson Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong for an aggregate consideration of HK$182,000,000 (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”).

— III-7 —

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-8 —

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

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

22 April 2015

Dear Sirs

1st to the 5th Floors and Roofs, Nos 11 – 13 Matheson Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong (the “Properties”)

In accordance with the instructions from Easyknit Enterprises Holdings Limited (the “Company”) for us to value the Properties, we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of the Properties as at 18 March 2015 (“Valuation Date”) for the purpose of disclosure in a public circular.

DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE

In arriving at our opinion of market value, we have followed the HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (HKIS). Under the said standards, Market Value is defined as:

— IV-1 —

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX IV

“the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.”

The market value is the best price reasonably obtainable in the market by the seller and the most advantageous price reasonably obtainable in the market by the buyer. This estimate specifically excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangements, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value. The market value of an asset or liability is also estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase (or transaction) and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.

In undertaking the valuation, we have regarded the requirements contained in the HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors and the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (Main Board).

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

Our valuation is prepared by “Direct Comparison Approach” with reference to sales evidence as available in the market.

VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS AND CONDITIONS

Our valuations are subject to the following assumptions and conditions:—

Title Documents and Encumbrances

We have taken reasonable care to investigate the title of the Properties by obtaining land search records from the Land Registry. We have not, however, searched the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain the existence of any amendment which does not appear on the copies handed to us. We however do not accept a liability for any interpretation which we have placed on such information that is more properly the sphere of your legal advisers. We have also assumed in our valuation that the Properties were free from encumbrances, restrictions, title defects and outgoings of an onerous nature that could affect their values, unless stated otherwise as at the Valuation Date.

Disposal Costs and Liabilities

No allowance has been made in our report for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the Properties nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale.

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX IV

Source of Information

We have relied to a very considerable extent on information provided by the Company and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, lettings, occupancies, income, site and floor area and all other relevant matters. We have not verified the correctness of any information, including their translation supplied to us concerning the Properties, whether in writing or verbally by yourselves, your representatives or by your legal or professional advisers or by any (or any apparent) occupier of the Properties or contained on the register of title. We assume that this information is complete and correct.

Inspection

We inspected the external of the Properties on 30 March 2015. The inspection was undertaken by Ms Catherine Cheung, the Director of General Valuation Department. Nevertheless, we have assumed in our valuation that the Properties were in satisfactory exterior and interior decorative order without any unauthorised extensions or structural alterations as at the Valuation Date.

Identity of Property to be valued

We exercised reasonable care and skill (but will not have an absolute obligation to you) to ensure that the Properties, identified by the property addresses in your instructions, are the properties inspected by us and contained within our valuation report. If there is ambiguity as to the property addresses, or the extent of the properties to be valued, this should be drawn to our attention in your instructions or immediately upon receipt of our report.

Property Insurance

We have valued the Properties on the assumption that, in all respects, it is insurable against all usual risks including terrorism, flooding and rising water table at normal, commercially acceptable premiums.

Areas and Age

As instructed, we have relied upon areas as available from a quoted source. Otherwise, dimensions and areas would be measured on-site or from plans and calculated in accordance with, where appropriate, the current HKIS Code of Measuring Practice and are quoted to a reasonable approximation, with reference to their source.

We have also assumed that the site areas, floor areas, measurements and dimensions shown on the documents handed to us are correct and in approximations only. Where the age of the building is estimated, this is for guidance only.

Structural and Services Condition

We were not instructed to undertake any structural surveys, test the services or arrange for any investigations to be carried out to determine whether any deleterious materials have been used in the construction of the Properties. Our valuation has therefore been undertaken on the basis that the Properties were in satisfactory repair and condition and contains no deleterious materials and that services function satisfactorily.

— IV-3 —

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX IV

Ground Condition

We have assumed there to be no unidentified adverse ground or soil conditions and that the load bearing qualities of the site of the Properties are sufficient to support the building constructed or to be constructed thereon; and that the services are suitable for any existing or future development. Our valuation is therefore prepared on the basis that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred in this respect.

Environmental Issues

We are not environmental specialists and therefore we have not carried out any scientific investigations of sites or buildings to establish the existence or otherwise of any environmental contamination, nor have we undertaken searches of public archives to seek evidence of past activities that might identify potential for contamination. In the absence of appropriate investigations and where there is no apparent reason to suspect potential for contamination, our valuation is prepared on the assumption that the Properties are unaffected. Where contamination is suspected or confirmed, but adequate investigation has not been carried out and made available to us, then the valuation will be qualified.

Compliance with Relevant Ordinances and Regulations

We have assumed that the Properties had been constructed, occupied and used in full compliance with, and without contravention of any Ordinances, statutory requirement and notices except only where otherwise stated. We have further assumed that, for any use of the Properties upon which this report is based, any and all required licences, permits, certificates, consents, approvals and authorisation have been obtained, except only where otherwise stated.

We herein enclose our valuation.
