The Building is a 10-storey building comprises 18 factory units on the upper floors, 6 workshops on the ground floor; and portions A and B car parking areas. The Properties comprises 18 factory units on the upper floors and portions A and B car parking areas on the ground floor with a total saleable areas of approximately 36,216 square feet.

The Properties shall be sold to the Purchaser on “as-is” basis.

Condition Precedent

Completion of the Acquisition is conditional upon the fulfillment of the following conditions on or prior to the Completion Date:

  1. the Provisional Agreements and the transactions contemplated herein duly approved by the shareholders’ meeting of the Company in accordance with the Listing Rules; and

  2. the warranties provided by the respective Vendors under the Provisional Agreements remain true and accurate in all respects.

Completion of the Acquisition shall take place on or before 28 June 2017.

Consideration

The Consideration HK$226,052,500 was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Purchaser and the Vendors. When determining the Consideration, the management of the Company has taken into account of the following factors including but without limitation to the:

  1. 3 types of valuation as mentioned in the valuation report in Appendix IV to the circular:

  2. (a) market value in the existing state of the Properties for HK$160,000,000;

  3. (b) site value with vacant possession of the Building’s site for HK$280,000,000; and

  4. (c) site value of the Properties for HK$243,892,000 (“ APD Valuation ”).

The APD Valuation refers to the calculation of the valuation of the Properties to the whole Building, i.e. the Properties share 38/44th undivided shares for whole of the Building which apportioned the value of HK$243,892,000;

— 7 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. the unit prices of the comparables in the same locality which have similar characteristic as the Properties which range from HK$3,126 per square foot to HK$6,943 per square foot;

  2. the favourable location of the Properties which is at a high traffic location with subway, mass transit railway stations, commercial and industrial offices, shopping malls, retail outlets and different types of restaurant; and

  3. the future redevelopment potential to be a high rise composite building.

Pursuant to the valuation report in Appendix IV to the circular, the APD Valuation (i.e. HK$243,892,000) which is higher than the Consideration HK$226,052,500 and the average purchase cost of the Properties is approximately HK$6,240 per square foot which is within the range of the comparables; the Directors have also taken in to account of its location and its APD Valuation, therefore the Directors believe that the consideration of the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated herein are in the interests of the Group and are on normal commercial terms, which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Directors have taken into account the above factors and with reference to the purchase prices in the recent properties transaction records in the Properties’ location, the Company noted that the purchase price are in the trend of redevelopment value and therefore in the opinion of the Directors, the APD Valuation of the Properties reflect the existing market conditions and the real market value of the Properties.

Payment Method

The Consideration shall be paid in cash as follows:

  1. an aggregate initial deposit in the sum of HK$11,302,625 has been paid to the Vendors on the signing date of the Provisional Agreements;

  2. an aggregate further deposit in the sum of HK$11,302,625 has been paid to the Vendors on 18 April 2017;

— 8 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. an aggregate further deposit in the sum of HK$22,605,250 shall be paid to the Vendors upon the signing of the formal agreement on or before 2 May 2017; and

  2. an aggregate balance in the sum of HK$180,842,000 shall be paid to the Vendors upon the completion on or before 28 June 2017.

With reference to the Group’s management accounts as at 31 March 2017, the unaudited cash and cash equivalents is approximately HK$566.7 million, of which, approximately RMB49.8 million (equivalent to approximately HK$56.2 million) is tied up in the PRC as investment capital which is not practical to transfer back to Hong Kong. Of the balance of HK$510.5 million, (1) approximately HK$25.5 million has been earmarked for the acquisition of the Matheson Remaining Unit; and (2) a total of approximately HK$196.3 million raised from the Company’s previous fund raising activities has been earmarked for the construction cost of the Project Inverness; (3) HK$54.5 million is earmarked for the acquisition of FW Remaining Units; and (4) the remaining balance of HK$234.2 million shall be applied for the settlement of the consideration of the Acquisition and/or working capital of the Group. Since the Group has sufficient internal resources, the Directors confirmed that the Acquisition will be funded by the internal resources of the Group.

11 of the Properties are subject to tenancy agreements that by the terms may still be in force at the latest time for completion of the formal sale and purchase agreements. Such tenancies will be expired between April 2017 and April 2020. Details of the tenancies are set out in Appendices II and IV to this circular.

Based on the tenancy agreements, gas, water, telephone and electricity charges were borne by the respective tenants of the Properties. Management fees and the government rates and rent levied on the Properties were borne by the landlords.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Group’s principal businesses are property investment, property development, securities investment and loan financing business. The Group currently holds various commercial, industrial and residential properties in Hong Kong, Singapore and the PRC.

Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Group shall have 86.36% of the undivided shares of the Building (as contemplated by section 3(1) of the Ordinance); and the Company is entitled to file an application to the Lands Tribunal for an order to sell all the undivided shares in the Building for the purpose of redevelopment.

— 9 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Group intends to acquire the Remaining Units so as to be the owner of the whole Building. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has no concrete plan on the redevelopment timetable, but the Directors have a view to redevelop into a high rise composite commercial building if and when the Directors consider the market sentiment to be appropriate. The Company will make further announcement(s) to inform the Shareholders when any purchase of the Remaining Units are transacted.

The Ordinance provides, in summary, that the person or persons who own not less than 80% of the undivided shares in a lot (“ Majority Owner ”) may make an application to the Lands Tribunal, accompanied by a valuation report (prepared not earlier than 3 months before the date of the application), for an order to sell the undivided shares in the lot for redevelopment purposes (the “ Sale Order ”). The Lands Tribunal determines the application by hearing the objection of the minority owners (if any) in respect of the value of any property assessed, or in the case where the minority owners cannot be found, requiring the Majority Owner to satisfy the Lands Tribunal that the value of the minority owner’s property is not less than fair and reasonable. The Lands Tribunal must also be satisfied, among other things, that the development of the lot is justified and the Majority Owner has taken reasonable steps to acquire all the undivided shares in the lot including negotiating for the purchase of such of those shares as are owned by minority owners on terms that are fair and reasonable, before it makes the Sale Order.

Under section 5(1) of the Ordinance, where a Sale Order is granted, the lot shall be sold by (a) public auction, or (b) by other means agreed in writing by each minority owner and Majority Owner of the lot and approved by the Lands Tribunal. Section 5(5) of the Ordinance requires that if the lot is to be sold by auction, it shall be sold to the highest bidder at the auction. It is stated in section 5(5)(b) of the Ordinance that nothing in the Ordinance shall operate to prevent the Majority Owner or the minority owner from being the purchaser of the lot.

Where the Majority Owner is the purchaser of the lot, under section 6 of the Ordinance, it is not required to pay the full purchase price for the lot to the trustees, but to pay not less than the proportion of the amount that the trustees calculate is necessary for it to purchase all the undivided shares in the lot not already owned by it.

The Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors, are of the view that the terms of the Provisional Agreements are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

— 10 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FUTURE FUND RAISING EXERCISES

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company does not have any concrete fund raising plans in the next 12 months. The Company shall make further announcements in the future in accordance with the Listing Rules as and when appropriate if any suitable fund raising opportunities arise, having regard to the financing needs, business plans and circumstances of the Company at the time.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no plan, arrangement, understanding or intention for any potential acquisitions, and no negotiations was taking place in relation to any potential new acquisition.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION

Earnings

As rental income will be generated from the Properties, based on the rental income generated for the year ended 31 March 2017, the acquisition of the Properties will generate approximately HK$1.4 million on the Group’s earnings on rental income per annum.

Assets and Liabilities

Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group as set out in Appendix III to this circular, the effect of the Acquisition is that (i) properties held for development for sale by the Group will increase by approximately HK$252.6 million and (ii) the cash reserve will decrease by approximately HK$253.1 million. The Acquisition will have no potential effect on the Group’s liabilities because the Group will only utilise its internal resources for the expenses and costs incurred in the Acquisition and the purchase of the Properties.

The Directors are of the view that the Acquisition is in the interest of the Group and is on normal commercial terms, which are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors would recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution approving the Acquisition in the forthcoming SGM.

INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY AND THE PURCHASER

The Company is principally engaged in property investment, property development, securities investment and loan financing business.

The Purchaser is an investment holding company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability and is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

As mentioned in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2016, from the macroeconomic perspective, the expected rise of interest rates in United States dollar, the Brexit and geopolitical conditions had exerted impacts on various aspects of the global economy.

In Hong Kong, the recovery in the residential property market appears to be underway, with overall transaction volume having picked up significantly since April 2016, and transacted prices gradually rising from their lows at the beginning of 2016, and likely having bottomed.

The rebound in the transaction volume has been particularly evident in the primary residential market mainly attributable to the improving market sentiment due to slower than expected interest hikes, and the introduction of aggressive incentives by property developers to boost their property sales.

Looking ahead, the Group’s core income for the second half of 2016 will be mainly generated from its property investment and the Group expects its property investment portfolios in Hong Kong, PRC and Singapore will continue to generate stable income in the second half of 2016.

5. MATERIAL CHANGE

In accordance with Rule 14.67(6)(b)(i) of the Listing Rules, a profit and loss statement of the leased properties (“ Leased Properties ”) for the three financial years ended 31 March 2017 (“ 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 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 Vendors 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 14.67(6)(b)(i) of the Listing Rules. The Company has therefore applied to the Stock Exchange for a waiver from strict compliance with Rule 14.67(6)(b)(i) of the Listing Rules, such that the following information be disclosed instead. 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 Vendors. Accordingly, it may not give a true picture of the performance of the Leased Properties during the Relevant Financial Years.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LEASED PROPERTIES

APPENDIX II

Notes:

  1. The rental income for the Relevant Financial Years is derived from the Tenancy Agreements.

  2. Based on the Tenancy Agreements, gas, water, telephone and electricity charges were borne by the respective tenants of the Leased Properties. Certain management fees and government rates and rent are borne by the landlords.

  3. Based on the statutory tax rate of Hong Kong, the total property tax paid and payable in respect of the Tenancy Agreements is estimated to be approximately HK$144,000, HK$202,000 and HK$226,000 for the financial year ended 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017 respectively.

  4. 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.

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

  6. 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 listing for each of the three years ended 31 March 2017 which was prepared by the management of the Company and checked its arithmetical accuracy.

  • ii. obtained the rental income summary from the management and compared the total amounts of rental income for each of the three years ended 31 March 2017 as shown in the rental income summary to respective total rental amounts as shown in the rental income listing.

  • iii. compared the particulars of the tenants’ names, tenancy periods and monthly rental amounts shown in the rental income listing to respective tenancy agreements which were provided to Deloitte by the management of the Company.

Deloitte’s findings are:

  • a. With respect to procedure i, Deloitte found that the rental income listing for each of the three years ended 31 March 2017 was arithmetically accurate.

  • b. With respect to procedure ii, Deloitte found that the total amounts of rental income for each of the three years ended 31 March 2017 as shown in the rental income summary were in agreement with respective total amounts as shown in the rental income listing.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE LEASED PROPERTIES

APPENDIX II

  • c. With respect to procedure iii, Deloitte found that the particulars of the tenants’ names, tenancy periods and monthly rental amounts as shown in the rental income listing were in agreement with those contained in respective 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 and 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, Hong Kong Standards on Review Engagements or 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 Property in the past would not render this circular materially incomplete and misleading or deceptive.

VALUATION OF THE LEASED PROPERTIES

No valuation of the Leased Property at the end of the three years ended 31 March 2017 has been disclosed herein as the Directors were unable to obtain any valuation reports from the Vendors.

B. INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following is the text of a report received from our reporting accountants, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, Certified Public Accountants, Hong Kong, prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this circular, in respect of the unaudited pro forma financial information.

TO THE DIRECTORS OF EMINENCE ENTERPRISE LIMITED

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of unaudited pro forma financial information of Eminence Enterprise 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 unaudited pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma statement of assets and liabilities as at 30 September 2016 and related notes as set out in Section A of Appendix III to the circular issued by the Company dated 12 May 2017 (the “Circular”). The applicable criteria on the basis of which the Directors have compiled the unaudited pro forma financial information are described in Section A of Appendix III to the Circular.

The unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the proposed acquisition of 18 units and 2 car park units of Wing Cheong Factory Building, situated at No. 121 King Lam Street, Kowloon, Hong Kong for an aggregate cash consideration of HK$226,052,500 (the “Acquisition”) on the Group’s financial position as at 30 September 2016 as if the Acquisition had taken place at 30 September 2016. As part of this process, information about the Group’s financial position has been extracted by the Directors from the Group’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2016, on which no review conclusion has been published.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX III

Directors’ Responsibilities for the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The Directors are responsible for compiling the unaudited 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 (the “HKICPA”).

Our Independence and Quality Control

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

Our firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 “Quality Control for Firms that Perform Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance and Related Services Engagements” issued by the HKICPA and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Reporting Accountants’ Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the unaudited 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 unaudited 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 accountants plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Directors have compiled the unaudited pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules and with reference to AG 7 issued by the HKICPA.

— III-4 —

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX III

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 unaudited 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 unaudited pro forma financial information.

The purpose of unaudited 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 Acquisition at 30 September 2016 would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the unaudited 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 unaudited 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 unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

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

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

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

The Board of Directors

Eminence Enterprise Limited 7th Floor, Hong Kong Spinners Industrial Building Phase 6, Nos. 481-483 Castle Peak Road, Cheung Sha Wan, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

In accordance with your instruction for us to value the Property to be acquired by an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of “Eminence Enterprise Limited” (referred to as “the Company” and collectively referred to as “the Group”), we confirm that we have inspected part of the Property, 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 Property as at 11 April 2017 (the “Valuation Date”).

BASIS OF VALUE

Our valuation is our opinion of market value of the Property which is defined as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”. Our valuation has been prepared in accordance with “The HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition)” published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors and “RICS Valuation – Professional Standards (January 2014)” published by the “Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors” (“RICS”), 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).

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION APPROACH

In our valuation, we have valued the tenanted portions of the Property on the basis of capitalisation of net rental income derived from the existing tenancies with allowance onto the reversionary interest of the Property and made reference to comparable market transactions. In valuing the portions of Property which are either vacant or owneroccupied, we have employed the direct comparison method whereby comparisons based on transactions on actual sales of comparable property have been made. Comparable property with similar character, location, sizes and so on are analyzed and carefully weighed against all respective advantages and disadvantages of the Property in order to arrive at the fair comparison of values.

TITLE INVESTIGATIONS

We have conducted land searches at the Land Registry but we have not searched 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 purposes and all dimensions, measurements and areas are therefore approximations.

VALUATION CONSIDERATION

On-site inspection to the Property was carried out by Mr Eric W. L. TANG MRICS RICS Registered Valuer and Mr Jeff M.C. LIU BSc(Hons) on 11th April 2017. But we must stress that we have not carried out any structural survey nor have we inspected the woodwork or other parts of the structures of the Property which was covered, unexposed or inaccessible to us. We are therefore unable to report whether such part of the Property is free from any structural or non-structural defect.

Having examined all relevant documents, we have relied to a considerable extent on the information given by the Group, particularly planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, land tenure, site areas, floor areas, occupancy status and in the identification of the Property.

Unless otherwise stated, all dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificate are based on the information contained in the documents provided to us by the Group and are therefore approximations. We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information made available to us and we have been advised by the Group that no material fact has been omitted from the information so given.

— IV-2 —

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the Property could be sold in the prevailing market in existing state but without the effect of any deferred term contract, leaseback, management agreement or any other similar arrangement which may serve to affect the value of the Property, unless otherwise noted or specified. In addition, no account has been taken into of any option or right of pre-emption concerning or affecting the sale of the Property.

The land lease of the Property had expired before 30 June 1997, and we have taken into account of the provisions contained in Annex III of the “Joint Declaration of the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of the People’s Republic of China on the question of Hong Kong” as well as the “New Territories Leases (Extension) Ordinance” that such land lease has been extended without paying additional land premium until 30 June 2047.

In our valuation, we have assumed that the owner(s) of the Property has free and uninterrupted rights to use and assign the property during the whole of the unexpired landlease term granted subject to the payment of usual Government Rent.

We had carried out on-site inspection to the Property but no soil investigation has been carried out to determine the suitability of ground condition or building services for any property development or to be erected on the Property. Our valuation has been carried out on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory. In our valuation, we have also assumed that all necessary consents, approvals and licences from relevant government authorities have been or will have been granted for any property development erected or to be erected on the Property.

Our market value assessment of the Property is the value estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase or transaction and without offset for any associated tax(es) or potential tax(es). Any transaction cost(s) or encumbrances such as mortgage, debenture or other charges against the Property has been disregarded. In our valuation, we have assumed that the Property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which may serve to affect the value of the Property.

Unless otherwise stated, all monetary amounts stated herein are denoted in the currency of Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”), the lawful currency of Hong Kong.
