The Company A Properties and the Company B Properties were valued at HK$720,000,000 in aggregate at 9 August 2019 by Vigers, a property valuer and an Independent Third Party, and its valuation report is reproduced in Appendix VI.

-
the Agreement for Sale and Purchase and the transactions contemplated by it being approved by the Shareholders of the Company and all necessary approvals being obtained in compliance with the Listing Rules;
-
no event having occurred which in the reasonable opinion of the Buyer could be construed as being capable of preventing completion of the Property Purchase Agreements and/or the Jumbo Sale Share Agreement, or which could frustrate or make illegal or impossible the completion of the Property Purchase Agreements and/or the Jumbo Sale Share Agreement or make any of them unenforceable;
-
a due diligence review being carried out on Company A and Company B by, and having been completed to the satisfaction of, the Buyer in its sole discretion;

-
the Seller’s solicitors providing, at least seven (7) days before the Completion Date, a title report of the Company A Properties and the Company B Properties to the Buyer;
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
and in the event any one or more of these conditions is not fulfilled, all sums paid by the Buyer to the Seller under the Agreement for Sale and Purchase shall be returned to the Buyer within 5 business days of the Buyer’s request. None of these conditions could be waived. At the Latest Practicable Date condition 3 had been satisfied.
Consideration
The Consideration for the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares of Company A and Company B and the Shareholder’s Loans is HK$220,832,500 (subject to adjustment), of which HK$67,000,000 is the portion of the Consideration for Company A (and its Shareholder’s Loan), HK$153,832,500 being the portion of the Consideration for Company B (and its Shareholder’s Loan). It is payable by the Buyer to the Seller in the following manner:
-
(a) HK$30,000,000 as the deposit for Company B on or before 9 July 2019 or such other date as may be agreed by the Buyer and the Seller;
-
(b) HK$40,200,000 as further deposit (of which HK$23,000,000 is for Company A and HK$17,200,000 for Company B) on or before 16 July 2019 or such other date as may be agreed by the Buyer and the Seller;
-
(c) HK$60,000,000 as second further deposit for Company B on or before 25 July 2019 or such other date as may be agreed by the Buyer and the Seller;
-
(d) HK$59,000,000 as third further deposit (of which HK$15,000,000 is for Company A and HK$44,000,000 for Company B) on or before 30 August 2019 or such other date as may be agreed by the Buyer and the Seller;
-
(e) HK$2,632,500 (subject to adjustment), being the balance of the portion of the Consideration for Company B and its Shareholder’s Loan, is payable by the Buyer to the Seller at Company B Completion Date or such other date as may be agreed by the Buyer and the Seller; and
-
(f) HK$29,000,000, being the balance of the portion of the Consideration for Company A and its Shareholder’s Loan, is payable by the Buyer to the Seller at Company A Completion Date or such other date as may be agreed by the Buyer and the Seller.
The Directors are satisfied that these terms of payment are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole because they were negotiated on arm’s length terms and all sums payable before the Completion Dates must be refunded by the Seller if the Conditions Precedent are not fulfilled or waived.
As of the Latest Practicable Date, a total of HK$189,200,000 of the Consideration has been paid by the Buyer to the Seller, of which HK$38,000,000 was for Company A and HK$151,200,000 was for Company B.
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The overall Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Buyer and the Seller. When determining the Consideration, the management of the Company has taken into account the ownership of the Company A Properties and the Company B Properties, the location of the Company A Properties and the Company B Properties, the Shareholder’s Loans, market price of properties of similar size and usage, the stamp duty refund which the Company expects when the Combined Site is demolished for redevelopment, and the potential of redevelopment of the Combined Site.
With regards to Company A, the Consideration for the acquisition of Company A was HK$67,000,000 and the sum remaining payable under the Jumbo Sale Share Agreement at Company A Completion Date is approximately HK$252,000,000. With regards to Company B, the consideration for the acquisition of Company B was HK$153,832,500 and the sum remaining payable to the Property Vendors under the Property Purchase Agreements at Company B Completion Date is approximately HK$310,050,000. These will become liabilities of the Enlarged Group on a consolidated basis after Company A Completion Date and Company B Completion Date. As such, the total cost of acquiring Company A and Company B is approximately HK$782,882,500. The Company in acquiring the Combined Site for redevelopment also expects that there will be stamp duty refundable of approximately HK$66,741,000 when redevelopment takes place (which is in effect a reduction in the acquisition cost for the Company). The Seller had taken into account the stamp duty refund in the Consideration for Company A and Company B as the Combined Site was sold on the basis that it would be redeveloped. As a result, the net costs of acquiring Company A and Company B is approximately HK$716,141,500 and this is similar to the market value of the Company A Properties and the Company B Properties which were valued at HK$720,000,000. The Directors consider that although there may be a time lapse for the stamp duty refund, it will be short and immaterial (the stamp duty refund process is expected to take about 10–12 months) compared to the potential uplift in value of the redevelopment of the Combined Site, which will be in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders.
Against that background, the portion of the Consideration for acquiring Company A (including the issued shares of Company A and its Shareholder’s Loan) and the portion of the Consideration for acquiring Company B (including the issued shares of Company B and its Shareholder’s Loan) was negotiated on the basis of the parties’ respective perceptions of the value of the underlying properties or rights to acquire those properties, and the assets and liabilities of the two companies. The aggregate Consideration of HK$220,832,500 thus reflects market value of the Company A Properties and the Company B Properties and takes into consideration the stamp duty refund which the Company expects when the Combined Site is demolished for redevelopment.
The Group will fund the Acquisition of the Sale Shares of Company A and B and the Shareholder’s Loans from internal resources and/or bank facilities.
Rental Arrangement of the Company A Properties and Company B Properties
Rental Deposits
After the Company A Completion Date, the rental deposits of approximately HK$890,000 in relation to the existing tenancy agreements of the Company A Properties will be assumed by the Enlarged Group.
After the Company B Completion Date, the rental deposits of approximately HK$757,000 in relation to the existing tenancy agreements of the Company B Properties will be assumed by the Enlarged Group.
– 9 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
These rental deposits will be assumed by the Enlarged Group since Company A and Company B will become subsidiaries of the Group after their respective completion dates. The Group will have the rental deposits after completion and ultimately have to return the deposits to tenants when they move out. The Group’s financial position will be neutral in respect of the receipt and reimbursement of rental deposits.
Rent-Free Periods
Pursuant to the Property Purchase Agreements, the Property Vendors of 1/F, 2/F, 4/F and 5/F of No. 1D Davis Street, Kennedy Town, Hong Kong (the “ 4 Units ”) are licenced to occupy the 4 Units free of rental for periods ranging from 4 to 6 months after the completion of the relevant Property Purchase Agreements (the “ Licence Period ”) scheduled on 10 October 2019. The fair value of the rental income of the 4 Units during the Licence Period, which is inclusive of government rates, government rent, management fee and other outgoings (the “ Rental Income Fair Value ”), are of a total amount of approximately HK$484,600 during the Licence Period. The Agreement for Sale and Purchase and the Property Purchase Agreements require that the properties are delivered with vacant possessing at completion and, if they are not, part of the Consideration under the Agreement for Sale and Purchase will be withheld until delivery of vacant possession.
The Property Vendors of the 4 Units are licensed to use the 4 Units free of rent for short periods (4 to 6 months) after completion of the relevant Property Purchase Agreement. The provision of rent-free periods to the Property Vendors of the 4 Units allows them time to deliver them with vacant possession if it is not delivered at completion and thus enables the Group to acquire vacant possession of the 4 Units in a short time, without prejudicing the title to the 4 Units.
As the timeframe for redevelopment (and ultimately costs of redevelopment) will be severely affected by any delay, the rent-free periods of 4 to 6 months are not onerous and are fair, reasonable, acceptable and in the interest of the Group.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION
On completion of the Acquisition Eminence will own 100% of the issued shares in both Company A and Company B and both companies will be its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The Company plans to demolish the Company A Properties and the Company B Properties and redevelop the Combined Site into a commercial/residential/service apartment building with car parking spaces (if any) to maximize the usage of the Combined Site.
Having considered the potential for redevelopment of the Combined Site and the total Consideration for the Group to acquire the Sale Shares of Company A and Company B and the Shareholder’s Loans, the Directors are in the view that the total Consideration and the sums payable under the Agreement for Sale and Purchase are in the interests of the Group and that the terms and conditions of the Agreement for Sale and Purchase are on normal commercial terms, and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole.

II. NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. General
Real Supreme Limited (the “ Target Company ”) is a private company incorporated in Anguilla with limited liability and its registered office is located at OMC Offices, Babrow Building, The Valley, AI-2640 Anguilla, British West Indies. During the Relevant Period, the principal activity of the Target Company was investment holding in Hong Kong.
The sole member of the Target Company (the “ Seller ”) entered into an agreement with Above Ace Limited (“ AAL ”, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Eminence Enterprise Limited, the “ Company ”) on 9 July 2019 (the “ Agreement for Sale and Purchase ”), pursuant to which amongst other things and as part of the agreement, AAL conditionally agreed to buy, and the Seller agreed to sell, the entire issued share capital of the Target Company and a related shareholder loan at an aggregate consideration of HK$67,000,000, subject to adjustment.
Upon completion of the Agreement for Sale and Purchase, AAL and the Company will respectively become the immediate and ultimate holding company of the Target Company.
The Historical Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong dollars (“ HK$ ” or “ HKD ”), which is the same as the functional and presentation currency of the Target Company, and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar except when otherwise indicated.
2. Basis of preparation of Historical Financial Information
No statutory audited financial statements of the Target Company for the Relevant Period have been prepared as it was newly incorporated since 12 April 2019 and there are no statutory audit requirements under the relevant rules and regulations in the Anguilla. The Historical Financial Information in this report was prepared based on management accounts of the Target Company for the Relevant Period. The sole director of the Target Company has prepared the financial statements (“ Underlying Financial Statements ”) for the Relevant Period in accordance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“ HKFRSs ”) (which include all Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“ HKASs ”), amendments and interpretations) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“ HKICPA ”).
As the sole shareholder of the Target Company and the Company have respectively agreed to continuously provide adequate funds for the Target Company to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future prior to the completion of the Agreement for Sale and Purchase and after the completion of the Agreement for Sale and Purchase to the coming twelve months from 9 July 2019, the sole director of the Target Company is confident that the Target Company will be able to meet its financial obligations when they fall due in foreseeable future and be able to operate on a going concern basis. Accordingly, the Underlying Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

3. Application of new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards
For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Historical Financial Information for the Relevant Period, the Target Company has, throughout the Relevant Period, consistently adopted HKFRSs, HKASs, amendments and interpretations. The Target Company has not early applied the following new and revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:
HKFRS 17 Insurance Contracts[1] Amendments to HKFRS 3 Definition of a Business[3] Amendments to HKFRS 10 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and and HKAS 28 its Associate or Joint Venture[2] Amendments to HKAS 1 Definition of Material[4] and HKAS 8
1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021.
2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date to be determined.
-
3 Effective for business combinations and asset acquisitions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2020.
-
4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020.
The Target Company is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these new and revised HKFRSs is expected to be in the period of initial application. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect until a detailed review has been completed.
4. Significant accounting policies
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared under historical cost basis and in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA and the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622).
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Target Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these Historical Financial Information is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of HKFRS 2 “Share-based Payment”, leasing transactions that are within the scope of HKAS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in HKAS 2 “Inventories” or value in use in HKAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
– 23 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANY A AND COMPANY B
APPENDIX II
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
-
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
-
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The significant accounting policies are set out below.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Target Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised 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 market place.
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 or 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 recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating interest income and interest expense over the Relevant Period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts and payments (including all fees and 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 asset or financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Interest income which is derived from the Target Company’s ordinary course of business is presented as revenue.
– 24 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANY A AND COMPANY B
APPENDIX II
Financial assets
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost:
-
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
The Target Company recognises a loss allowance for expected credit loss (“ ECL ”) on financial assets which are subject to impairment under HKFRS 9. The amount of ECL is updated at the end of the Relevant Period to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.
Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of the relevant instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the Relevant Period. Assessment is done based on the Target Company’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future conditions.
For these assets, the Target Company measures the loss allowance equal to 12-month ECL, unless when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Target Company recognises lifetime ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Target Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and 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 recognises 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 recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.
– 25 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANY A AND COMPANY B
APPENDIX II
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Target Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity instruments in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Target Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Target Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities (including amount due to the sole director/shareholder) are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Target Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Target Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
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 Relevant Period. Taxable profit differs from “profit before tax” as reported in the statement of profit or loss and other 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 Relevant Period.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Historical Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised 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 utilised.
– 26 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANY A AND COMPANY B
APPENDIX II
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of the Relevant 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 is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the Relevant 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 Relevant Period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
The Target Company as lessor
Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
Related parties
A party is considered to be related to the Target Company if:
-
(a) the party is a person or a close member of that person’s family and that person:
-
(i) has control or joint control over the Target Company;

(viii) the entity, or any member of a group of which it is a part, provides key management personnel services to the Target Company or to the parent of the Target Company.
5. Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Target Company’s accounting policies, which are described in note 4, the sole director 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 associated 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 recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
6. Capital management
The Target Company manages its capital to ensure that the Target Company will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balances. The Target Company’s overall strategy remains unchanged throughout the Relevant Period.

II. NOTES ON THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. General
Jumbo Rainbow Limited (the “ Target Company ”) is a private company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability and its registered office is located at Vistra Corporate Services Centre, Wickhams Cay II, Road Town, Tortola, VG1110, British Virgin Islands. During the Relevant Periods, the principal activity of the Target Company was holding of Silver Prosper Holdings Limited, a private company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability and whose principal activity was holding of properties located at Nos. 1B and 1C Davis Street, Kennedy Town, Hong Kong (together referred to as “ Properties ”).
The directors of the Target Company considered that CIH (BVI) Limited (“ CIH ”) and Chevalier International Holdings Limited (“ Chevalier ”) to be the respective immediate and ultimate holding company as at 31 May 2019.
Chevalier is a public listed company incorporated in Bermuda with limited liability. The addresses of the registered office and principal place of business of Chevalier are Victoria Place, 5th Floor, 31 Victoria Street, Hamilton HM10, Bermuda and 22nd Floor, Chevalier Commercial Centre, 8 Wang Hoi Road, Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong respectively. Chevalier has its shares listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited with stock code: 25.
2. Basis of preparation of Historical Financial Information
No statutory audited financial statements of the Target Company for the Relevant Periods have been prepared as it was incorporated since 1 March 2017 and there are no statutory audit requirements under the relevant rules and regulations in the British Virgin Islands. The Historical Financial Information in this report was prepared based on management accounts of the Target Company for the Relevant Periods. The directors of the Target Company have prepared the financial statements (“ Underlying Financial Statements ”) for the Relevant Periods in accordance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“ HKFRSs ”) (which include all Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“ HKASs ”), amendments and interpretations) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“ HKICPA ”).
The Historical Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong dollars (“ HK$ ” or “ HKD ”) and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar except when otherwise indicated.
While Chevalier will continue to finance the Target Company prior to the completion of the Very Substantial Acquisition – Properties On Davis Street, Kennedy Town, Hong Kong (the “ VSA ”) by Eminence Enterprise Limited (the “ Company ”), the Company has also agreed to continuously provide adequate funds to the Target Company to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future from the completion date of the VSA to the coming twelve months from 31 May 2019, the directors are therefore confident that Target Company will be able to meet its financial obligations when they fall due in the foreseeable future and be able to operate on a going concern basis. Accordingly, the Historical Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis.

APPENDIX II
3. Application of new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards
For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Historical Financial Information for the Relevant Periods, the Target Company has, throughout the Relevant Periods, consistently adopted HKFRSs, HKASs, amendments and interpretations. The Target Company has not early applied the following new and revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:
HKFRS 17 Insurance Contracts[1] Amendments to HKFRS 3 Definition of a Business[3] Amendments to HKFRS 10 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and and HKAS 28 its Associate or Joint Venture[2] Amendments to HKAS 1 Definition of Material[4] and HKAS 8
1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021.
2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date to be determined.
-
3 Effective for business combinations and asset acquisitions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2020.
-
4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020.
The Target Company is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these new and revised HKFRSs is expected to be in the period of initial application. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect until a detailed review has been completed.
4. Significant accounting policies
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared under historical cost basis and in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA and the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622).
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Target Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these Historical Financial Information is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of HKFRS 2 “Share-based Payment”, leasing transactions that are within the scope of HKAS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in HKAS 2 “Inventories” or value in use in HKAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
– 42 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANY A AND COMPANY B
APPENDIX II
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
-
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
-
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The significant accounting policies are set out below.
Subsidiary
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Target Company has control. The Target Company controls an entity when the Target Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
The results of subsidiaries are included in the Target Company’s profit or loss to the extent of dividends received and receivable. The Target Company’s investment in subsidiary is stated at cost less any impairment losses.
As the Target Company is a holding company that is a wholly-owned subsidiary of another body corporate, it satisfies the exemption criteria set out in section 379(3)(a) of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622), and is therefore not required to prepare consolidated financial statements.
Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of the Relevant Periods, the Target Company reviews the carrying amounts of its 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 relevant asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.
The recoverable amounts of assets are estimated individually. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an asset individually, the Target Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cashgenerating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
– 43 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANY A AND COMPANY B
APPENDIX II
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset (or a cash-generating unit) for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) 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 recognised for the asset (or a cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Target Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised 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 market place.
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 or 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 recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating interest income and interest expense over the Relevant Periods. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts and payments (including all fees and 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 asset or financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Interest income which is derived from the Target Company’s ordinary course of business is presented as revenue.
– 44 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANY A AND COMPANY B
APPENDIX II
Financial assets
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost:
-
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
The Target Company recognises a loss allowance for expected credit loss (“ ECL ”) on financial assets which are subject to impairment under HKFRS 9. The amount of ECL is updated at the end of the Relevant Periods to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.
Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of the relevant instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the Relevant Periods. Assessment is done based on the Target Company’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future conditions.
For these assets, the Target Company measures the loss allowance equal to 12-month ECL, unless when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Target Company recognises lifetime ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Target Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and 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 recognises 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 recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.
– 45 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANY A AND COMPANY B
APPENDIX II
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Target Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity instruments in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Target Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Target Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities (including amount due to ultimate holding company) are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Target Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Target Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
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 Relevant Periods. Taxable profit differs from “profit before tax” as reported in the statement of profit or loss and other 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 Relevant Periods.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Historical Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised 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 utilised.
– 46 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANY A AND COMPANY B
APPENDIX II
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of the Relevant Periods 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 is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the Relevant Periods.
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 Relevant Periods, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
Foreign currencies
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Related parties

5. Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Target Company’s accounting policies, which are described in note 4, the directors are 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 associated 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 recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Key source of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the Relevant Periods, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets within the next financial year.
Impairment of interests in a subsidiary
The Target Company’s management determines the impairment of interests in a subsidiary on a regular basis. The policy for the impairment of interests in a subsidiary is based on the management’s best estimate of the inherent risk, market potential and business prospect of that investment on an ongoing basis and with reference to the net assets/(liabilities) positions of the investees.

6. Capital management
The Target Company manages its capital to ensure that the Target Company will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balances. The Target Company’s overall strategy remains unchanged throughout the Relevant Periods.
The capital structure of the Target Company consists of net debts, which includes the amount due to the ultimate holding company as disclosed in note 15 and equity attributable to the owner of the Target Company.
The directors review the capital structure on a regular basis. As part of this review, the directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with the capital. Based on recommendations of the directors, the Target Company will balance its overall capital structure through new share issues as well as raising of debts.
Further, Chevalier and the Company respectively confirmed their willingness to provide sufficient cash and equity support to meet the daily operation requirements to maintain the Target Company as a going concern prior to the completion of the VSA and after the completion of the VSA to the coming twelve months from 31 May 2019.

Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Target Company’s major financial instruments include the balances with immediate holding company and ultimate holding company. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in notes 14 and 15, respectively. 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.
Liquidity risk
The Target Company relies on Chevalier as a significant source of liquidity. Chevalier will continue to finance the Target Company prior to the completion of the VSA and the Company has also agreed to continuously provide adequate funds for the Target Company to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future and to maintain the Target Company as a going concern from the completion date of the VSA to the coming twelve months from 31 May 2019, the directors are therefore confident that the Target Company will be able to meet its financial obligations when they fall due in the foreseeable future and be able to operate on a going concern basis.
Currency risk
All of the Target Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in HK$ and therefore the exchange rate risk to the Target Company is not significant.
Fair value
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis.
The directors considered that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the Historical Financial Information approximate to their fair values.
7. Revenue

APPENDIX II
For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Historical Financial Information for the Relevant Periods, the Target Company has, throughout the Relevant Periods, consistently adopted HKFRSs.
The Historical Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong dollars (“ HK$ ” or “ HKD ”) and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar except when otherwise indicated.
While Chevalier will continue to finance the Target Company prior to the completion of the Very Substantial Acquisition – Properties On Davis Street, Kennedy Town, Hong Kong (the “ VSA ”) by Eminence Enterprise Limited (the “ Company ”), the Company has also agreed to continuously provide adequate funds to the Target Company to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future and from the completion date of the VSA to twelve months from 31 May 2019, the directors are therefore confident that Target Company will be able to meet its financial obligations when they fall due in the foreseeable future and be able to operate on a going concern basis. Accordingly, the Historical Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis.
3. Application of new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards
For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Historical Financial Information for the Relevant Periods, the Target Company has, throughout the Relevant Periods, consistently adopted HKFRSs, HKASs, amendments and interpretations. The Target Company has not early applied the following new and revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:
HKFRS 17 Insurance Contracts[1] Amendments to HKFRS 3 Definition of a Business[3] Amendments to HKFRS 10 and Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and HKAS 28 its Associate or Joint Venture[2] Amendments to HKAS 1 Definition of Material[4] and HKAS 8
1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021.
2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date to be determined.
3 Effective for business combinations and asset acquisitions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2020.
4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020.
The Target Company is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these new and revised HKFRSs is expected to be in the period of initial application. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect until a detailed review has been completed.
4. Significant accounting policies
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared under historical cost basis and in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA except for investment properties which are measured at fair values, and the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622).
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
– 65 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANY A AND COMPANY B
APPENDIX II
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Target Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these Historical Financial Information is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of HKFRS 2 “Share-based Payment”, leasing transactions that are within the scope of HKAS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in HKAS 2 “Inventories” or value in use in HKAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
-
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
-
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The significant accounting policies are set out below.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated in the statement of financial position at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each Relevant Periods, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised 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 is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
– 66 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANY A AND COMPANY B
APPENDIX II
Investment properties
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation.
Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at their fair values. All of the Target Company’s property interests held under operating leases to earn rentals or for capital appreciation purposes are classified and account for as investment properties and are measured using the fair value model. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties are included in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposals. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognised.
Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of the Relevant Periods, the Target Company reviews the carrying amounts of its 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 relevant asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.
The recoverable amounts of assets are estimated individually. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an asset individually, the Target Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cashgenerating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset (or a cash-generating unit) for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) 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 recognised for the asset (or a cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
– 67 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANY A AND COMPANY B
APPENDIX II
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Target Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised 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 market place.
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 or 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 recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating interest income and interest expense over the Relevant Periods. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts and payments (including all fees and 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 asset or financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Interest income which is derived from the Target Company’s ordinary course of business is presented as revenue.
Financial assets
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost:
-
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
The Target Company recognises a loss allowance for expected credit loss (“ ECL ”) on financial assets which are subject to impairment under HKFRS 9. The amount of ECL is updated at the end of the Relevant Periods to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.
– 68 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANY A AND COMPANY B
APPENDIX II
Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of the relevant instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the Relevant Periods. Assessment is done based on the Target Company’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future conditions.
For these assets, the Target Company measures the loss allowance equal to 12-month ECL, unless when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Target Company recognises lifetime ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Target Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and 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 recognises 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 recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Target Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity instruments in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Target Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Target Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
– 69 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANY A AND COMPANY B
APPENDIX II
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities (including accounts and other payables) are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Target Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Target Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
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 Relevant Periods. Taxable profit differs from “profit before tax” as reported in the statement of profit or loss and other 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 Relevant Periods.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Historical Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised 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 utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of the Relevant Periods 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 is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the Relevant Periods.
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 Relevant Periods, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

APPENDIX II
Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
The Target Company as lessor
Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs not attributable to qualifying assets are recognised in profit or loss in the Relevant Periods in which they are incurred.
Foreign currencies
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

A party is considered to be related to the Target Company if:
-
(a) the party is a person or a close member of that person’s family and that person:
-
(i) has control or joint control over the Target Company;
-
(ii) has significant influence over the Target Company; or

(viii) the entity, or any member of a group of which it is a part, provides key management personnel services to the Target Company or to the parent of the Target Company.
5. Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Target Company’s accounting policies, which are described in note 4, the directors are 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 associated 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 recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical judgments in applying accounting policies
The following are the critical judgments, apart from those involving estimations (see below), that the directors have made in the process of applying the Target Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the Historical Financial Information.
Deferred taxation on investment properties
For the purposes of measuring deferred tax liabilities or deferred tax assets arising from investment properties that are measured using the fair value model, the directors have reviewed the Target Company’s investment properties portfolios and concluded that while the Target Company’s investment properties located in Hong Kong are depreciable, they are not held under a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment properties over time. Therefore, in determining the Target Company’s deferred taxation arising from investment properties located in Hong Kong, the directors determined that presumption that investment properties measured using the fair value model are recovered through sale is not rebutted.
– 72 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANY A AND COMPANY B
APPENDIX II
Key source of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the Relevant Periods, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets within the next financial year.
Investment properties
The Target Company’s investment properties are measured at fair value for financial reporting purposes. The directors have a designated team to determine the appropriate valuation techniques and key inputs for fair value measurements.
In estimating the fair value of the Target Company’s investment properties, the Target Company uses market-observable data to the extent they are available. Where Level 1 inputs are not available, the Target Company engages independent firms of qualified professional property valuers to perform valuation of the Target Company’s investment properties. At the end of the Relevant Periods, the directors work closely with the independent firms of qualified professional property valuers to establish and determine the appropriate valuation techniques and key inputs for fair value measurements. Where there is a material change in the fair value of the assets, the causes of the fluctuations will be reported to the directors of the Target Company. Information about the valuation techniques and key inputs used in determining the fair value of the Target Company’s investment properties is disclosed in note 15.
Useful lives and impairment of property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and identified impairment losses. The estimation of useful lives impacts the level of annual depreciation expenses recorded. Property, plant and equipment are evaluated for possible impairment on specific asset basis or in groups of similar assets, as applicable. This process requires management’s estimate of future cash flows generated by each asset or group of assets. For any instance where this evaluation process indicates impairment, the relevant asset’s carrying amount is written down to the recoverable amount and the amount of the write-down is charged against the statement of profit or loss. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. As at 31 December 2016, 31 March 2018, 31 March 2019 and 31 May 2019, the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment was HK$Nil, HK$12,432, HK$50,132 and HK$49,224 (31 May 2018: HK$12,222), respectively. No impairment had been recognised during the Relevant Periods.
6. Capital management
The Target Company manages its capital to ensure that the Target Company will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balances. The Target Company’s overall strategy remains unchanged throughout the Relevant Periods.
– 73 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANY A AND COMPANY B
APPENDIX II
The capital structure of the Target Company consists of net debts, which includes the amounts due to a fellow subsidiary, ultimate holding company and former immediate holding company, and bank loans as disclosed in the respective notes 17 and 18 and equity attributable to the owner of the Target Company.
The directors review the capital structure on a regular basis. As part of this review, the directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with the capital. Based on recommendations of the directors, the Target Company will balance its overall capital structure through new share issues as well as raising of debts.
Further, Chevalier and the Company respectively confirmed their willingness to provide sufficient cash and equity support to meet the daily operation requirements to maintain the Target Company as a going concern prior to the completion of the VSA and after the completion of the VSA to the coming twelve months from 31 May 2019.

Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Target Company’s major financial instruments include the amount due to a fellow subsidiary, ultimate holding company and former immediate holding company, and bank borrowings. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in notes 17 and 18, respectively. 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.
– 74 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANY A AND COMPANY B
APPENDIX II
Liquidity risk
The Target Company relies on Chevalier and bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. Chevalier will continue to finance the Target Company prior to the completion of the VSA and the Company has also agreed to continuously provide adequate funds for the Target Company to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future and to maintain the Target Company as a going concern from the completion date of the VSA to the coming twelve months from 31 May 2019, the directors are therefore confident that the Target Company will be able to meet its financial obligations when they fall due in the foreseeable future and be able to operate on a going concern basis.
Save for the bank borrowings, all other financial liabilities are non-interest bearing and their maturity dates are within one year or on demand.
Currency risk
All of the Target Company’s monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in HK$ and therefore the exchange rate risk to the Target Company is not significant.
Interest rate risk
The Company’s interest rate risk arises from bank borrowings. Majority of the Target Company’s bank borrowings carry interests at floating rates and expose the Target Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Target Company has not used any derivative contracts to hedge its exposure to such interest rate risk, however, the management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider other necessary action when significant interest rate exposure is anticipated.
If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher or lower for its variable rate borrowings and all other variables were held constant, the Target Company’s post-tax profit for the year ended 31 December 2016, period from 1 January 2017 to 31 March 2018, year ended 31 March 2019 and period from 1 April 2019 to 31 May 2019 would decrease/increase by HK0.3 million, HK$Nil, HK$0.3 million and HK$0.06 million, respectively.
Fair value
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis.
The directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised costs in the financial statements approximate to their fair values.

II. NOTES TO THE HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. General
Extra Glory Limited (the “ Target Company ”) is a private company incorporated in Anguilla with limited liability and its registered office is located at OMC Offices, Babrow Building, The Valley, AI-2640 Anguilla, British West Indies. During the Relevant Period, the principal activity of the Target Company was property investment in Hong Kong.
The sole member of the Target Company (the “ Seller ”) entered into an agreement with Above Ace Limited (“ AAL ”, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Eminence Enterprise Limited, the “ Company ”) on 9 July 2019 (the “ Agreement for Sale and Purchase ”), pursuant to which amongst other things and as part of the agreement, AAL conditionally agreed to buy, and the Seller agreed to sell, the entire issued share capital of the Target Company and a related shareholder loan at an aggregate consideration of HK$153,832,500, subject to adjustment.
Upon completion of the Agreement for Sale and Purchase, AAL and the Company will respectively become the immediate and ultimate holding company of the Target Company.
The Historical Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong dollars (“ HK$ ” or “ HKD ”), which is the same as the functional and presentation currency of the Target Company, and all values are rounded to the nearest dollar except when otherwise indicated.
2. Basis of preparation of Historical Financial Information
No statutory audited financial statements of the Target Company for the Relevant Period have been prepared as it was newly incorporated since 12 April 2019 and there are no statutory audit requirements under the relevant rules and regulations in Anguilla. The Historical Financial Information in this report was prepared based on management accounts of the Target Company for the Relevant Period. The sole director of the Target Company has prepared the financial statements (“ Underlying Financial Statements ”) for the Relevant Period in accordance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“ HKFRSs ”) (which include all Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“ HKASs ”), amendments and interpretations) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“ HKICPA ”).
As the sole shareholder of the Target Company and the Company have respectively agreed to continuously provide adequate funds for the Target Company to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future prior to the completion of the Agreement for Sale and Purchase and after the completion of the Agreement for Sale and Purchase to the coming twelve months from 9 July 2019, the sole director of the Target Company is confident that the Target Company will be able to meet its financial obligations when they fall due in foreseeable future and be able to operate on a going concern basis. Accordingly, the Underlying Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

3. Application of new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards
For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Historical Financial Information for the Relevant Period, the Target Company has, throughout the Relevant Period, consistently adopted HKFRSs, HKASs, amendments and interpretations. The Target Company has not early applied the following new and revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:
HKFRS 17 Insurance Contracts[1] Amendments to HKFRS 3 Definition of a Business[3] Amendments to HKFRS 10 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and and HKAS 28 its Associate or Joint Venture[2] Amendments to HKAS 1 Definition of Material[4] and HKAS 8
1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2021.
2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date to be determined.
-
3 Effective for business combinations and asset acquisitions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual period beginning on or after 1 January 2020.
-
4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020.
The Target Company is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these new and revised HKFRSs is expected to be in the period of initial application. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect until a detailed review has been completed.
4. Significant accounting policies
The Historical Financial Information has been prepared under historical cost basis and in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA and the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622).
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Target Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these Historical Financial Information is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of HKFRS 2 “Share-based Payment”, leasing transactions that are within the scope of HKAS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in HKAS 2 “Inventories” or value in use in HKAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
– 97 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANY A AND COMPANY B
APPENDIX II
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
-
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
-
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The significant accounting policies are set out below.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Target Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised 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 market place.
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 or 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 recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating interest income and interest expense over the Relevant Period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts and payments (including all fees and 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 asset or financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Interest income which is derived from the Target Company’s ordinary course of business is presented as revenue.
– 98 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANY A AND COMPANY B
APPENDIX II
Financial assets
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost:
-
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
The Target Company recognises a loss allowance for expected credit loss (“ ECL ”) on financial assets which are subject to impairment under HKFRS 9. The amount of ECL is updated at the end of the Relevant Period to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.
Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of the relevant instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the Relevant Period. Assessment is done based on the Target Company’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future conditions.
For these assets, the Target Company measures the loss allowance equal to 12-month ECL, unless when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Target Company recognises lifetime ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Target Company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and 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 recognises 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 recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.
– 99 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANY A AND COMPANY B
APPENDIX II
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Target Company are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity instruments in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Target Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Target Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities (including amount due to the sole director/shareholder) are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Target Company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Target Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
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 Relevant Period. Taxable profit differs from “profit before tax” as reported in the statement of profit or loss and other 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 Relevant Period.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Historical Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised 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 utilised.
– 100 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF COMPANY A AND COMPANY B
APPENDIX II
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of the Relevant 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 is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the Relevant 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 Relevant Period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
The Target Company as lessor
Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

5. Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Target Company’s accounting policies, which are described in note 4, the sole director 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 associated 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 recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

6. Capital management
The Target Company manages its capital to ensure that the Target Company will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balances.

APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
-
The adjustments represent (i) the Consideration of approximately HK$220,833,000 paid by the Company, of which approximately HK$67,000,000 is the consideration for Company A (and its Shareholder’s Loan) and approximately HK$153,833,000 is the consideration for Company B (and its Shareholder’s Loan); (ii) ad valorem stamp duty of approximately HK$66,741,000, paid by the Seller on behalf of Company A which is refundable when the Combined Site is demolished for redevelopment and recognised as “stamp duty recoverable” and included in “trade and other receivables”. As set out in the Agreement for Sale and Purchase, the consideration of Company B will be adjusted if the stamp duty paid and payable by the Seller as estimated is different from the assessment by the Hong Kong Stamp Duty Office for the Company B Properties. For pro forma purpose, the consideration paid of approximately HK$220,833,000 includes cash payment of approximately HK$140,842,000 to the Seller and “other payables” of approximately HK$79,991,000 as the Group did not have adequate cash to settle if the Acquisition was completed on 31 March 2019 after paying approximately HK$740,000 transaction cost which will be recognised in profit or loss (see Note 9 below). The other payables will be settled once the Group obtains new banking facilities.
-
After the Company A Completion Date, the Enlarged Group will be responsible for paying the balance of the purchase price of approximately HK$252,000,000 under the Jumbo Sale Share Agreement, which commits Company A to acquire Jumbo and its subsidiary, Silver Prosper, which is the registered owner of the Company A Properties. Also, rental deposits of approximately HK$890,000 in relation to the existing tenancy agreements of the Company A Properties will be assumed by the Enlarged Group.
-
After the Company B Completion Date, the Enlarged Group will be responsible for paying the balance of the purchase price of approximately HK$310,050,000 under the Property Purchase Agreements. Also, rental deposits of approximately HK$757,000 in relation to the existing tenancy agreements of the Company B Properties will be assumed by the Enlarged Group.
-
Pursuant to the Property Purchase Agreements, the Property Vendors of 1/F, 2/F, 4/F and 5/F of No. 1D Davis Street, Kennedy Town, Hong Kong (the “ 4 Units ”) are licenced to occupy the 4 Units free of rental for periods ranging from 4 to 6 months after the completion of the relevant Property Purchase Agreements (the “ Licence Period ”) scheduled on 10 October 2019. The Directors, after consulting Vigers Appraisal and Consulting Limited, a firm of professional property valuers not connected with the Group, determine that as at the latest practicable date for pro forma purpose the fair value of the rental income of the 4 Units during the Licence Period, which is inclusive of government rates, government rent, management fee and other outgoings (the “ Rental Income Fair Value ”), are HK$25,800, HK$24,200, HK$23,700 and HK$23,500 per month respectively, i.e. a total amount of HK$484,600 during the Licence Period. The adjustment represents the Rental Income Fair Value as at the latest practicable date for pro forma purpose which is accounted for as part of the consideration, in addition to the cash consideration of approximately HK$153,833,000, for acquisition of Company B (and its Shareholder’s Loan) and subsequently the 4 Units. There is no certainty that the Rental Income Fair Value at the completion of the sale and purchase of the 4 Units is the same amount of HK$484,600. Any change in this amount will affect the total consideration for the acquisition of the 4 Units and the deferred rental income included in “trade and other payables” which will be recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the Licence Period.
-
The adjustment represents payment of the estimated transaction costs attributable to this circular of approximately HK$740,000.
-
No adjustments have been made to reflect any trading results or other transactions of the Group entered into subsequent to 31 March 2019.

Prospects
Hong Kong’s property market is expected to grow on the back of a healthy economy, rising confidence in economic growth and continuous inflow of foreign capital. Driven by strong investment appetite and abundant liquidity, property prices continue to beat market expectation in 2017 and expect to move up moderately in 2018 although buyer’s sentiment may be affected by the advent of the U.S. interest rate upcycle. Office market will continue to benefit from a strong GDP growth and optimistic business outlook by major industries while the high rental cost will make the companies look for alternative solutions in emerging business districts. As for the industrial market, the new revitalization policy will further enhance the industrial property values which will attract new investments. The Group expects rising demand and shortage in the supply of newly built commercial buildings in Hong Kong for the near future. The Group will proactively look for feasible development projects to richen the Group’s land bank and launch property project(s) into the market with an accurate product positioning as well as effective sales and marketing strategy.
Through the fund raising activities in the capital market, the Group has successfully raised funds for property development projects and general working capital with relatively low financing cost as compared with bank financing. The Group remains optimistic about the property market in Hong Kong which is expected to grow steadily and will place emphasis on strengthening the property development and investment businesses by enhancing efficiency and diversifying the development project portfolio to include various types of commercial properties in prime locations. This will ensure the Group and work to the best interest of the Group and its shareholders as a whole.

APPENDIX IV MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE GROUP
Capital Commitments
As at 31 March 2017, the Group had capital commitments in respect of capital expenditure contracted for but not provided in respect of investment properties of HK$9,842,000.
Employees
As at 31 March 2017, the Group had 42 employees. Staff costs (including directors’ emoluments) amounted to HK$15,264,000 for the year ended 31 March 2017. The Group remunerates its employees based on their performance, experience and prevailing industry practice. The Group has set out the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme for the Hong Kong’s employees and has made contributions to the state-sponsored pension scheme operated by the PRC government for the PRC employees. The Group has a share option scheme to motivate valued employees.
Prospects
The Group will continue focusing its efforts in the development of its existing principal businesses: (1) property investment; (2) property development; (3) securities investment; (4) loan financing business and other potential projects with a view to providing steady returns for its shareholders and bring fruitful growth to the Group.
In Hong Kong, despite additional measures imposed by the government to cool the housing market, the impact on the property market was only short-lived. With the prevailing low interest rates and the record of high transacted land prices in the recent land auctions, sentiment in the primary property market has been holding up well, with home buyers’ confidence remaining generally strong.
In addition, the Group will further extend its principal business and direct its resources to loan financing services and it is expected that such business will continue to be part of the main income stream of the Group. Meanwhile, we will also maintain astringent financial policy and a prudent cash flow management to ensure reasonable liquidity for the Group’s operations as well as for its existing and future investments.
We believe that, in such a volatile economic environment, these operation strategies will enable the Group to maintain its competitiveness and mitigate risks, thereby ensuring the Group sustainable growth.

The Board of Directors
Eminence Enterprise Limited
Block A, 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 a 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 the Property externally, 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 9th August 2019 (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 (2017 Edition)” published by “The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors” (“ HKIS ”), “RICS Valuation – Global Standards 2017” published by the “Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors” (“ RICS ”), relevant provisions in the Companies Ordinance and the “Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited” (Main Board) published by “The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited” (“ HKEx ”).
VALUATION APPROACH
In our valuation, 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.

VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX VI
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 external inspection to the Property was carried out by Mr. Jeff M.C. LIU BSc(Hons) on 22nd July 2019. 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 nonstructural 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, floor areas, occupancy status and in the identification of the Property.
Unless otherwise stated, all dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificates 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 facts have been omitted from the information so given.
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.
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 land-lease 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.
– 154 –
VALUATION REPORT
APPENDIX VI
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.
