The completion of the Agreement for Sale and Purchase is conditional upon the fulfilment of the following conditions and all applicable laws on or prior to the Nice Able Completion Date:

  • (1) the Agreement for Sale and Purchase and the transactions contemplated thereunder being approved by the Shareholders and all necessary approvals being obtained in compliance with the Listing Rules;

  • (2) 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 Success Mark Sale Share Agreement, or which could frustrate or make illegal or impossible the completion of the Property Purchase Agreements and/or the Success Mark Sale Share Agreement or make any of them unenforceable;

  • (3) a due diligence review being carried out on Nice Able by, and having been completed to the satisfaction of, the Buyer in its sole discretion;

  • (4) title investigation on the Catchick Street Properties and the Success Mark Property being carried out to the satisfaction of the Buyer; and

During negotiations between the Seller and the Buyer before entering into the Agreement for Sale and Purchase, the Seller had expressed his funding difficulty in completing the Success Mark Sale Share Agreement and the Property Purchase Agreements and thus refused an escrow arrangement for payments and was not willing to include as a condition precedent to completion of the Agreement for Sale and Purchase before completion of the Success Mark Sale Share Agreement and the Property Purchase Agreements. In view of the Company’s perception of the value and redevelopment potential of the Sites in the future, taking into account the terms and conditions of the Agreement for Sale and Purchase and considering that the Buyer has the right to rescind it in various circumstances (before or after completion) under the Agreement for Sale and Purchase, the Board believes that the Acquisition is beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders and accepted the Seller’s requests as mentioned above.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Conditions Precedent of the Success Mark Sale Share Agreement

For the Success Mark Sale Share Agreement, a formal agreement dated 24 April 2020 has been entered into between Nice Able and the shareholders of Success Mark (the major terms of which are line with and have no material difference from the terms in the provisional agreement dated 25 March 2020). The conditions precedent for such formal agreement are as follows:

  • (a) Nice Able having completed its due diligence review on the business, financial and legal aspects of Success Mark and being reasonably satisfied that there is no material breach of any warranties or representations made by the shareholders of Success Mark;

  • (b) the shareholders of Success Mark having a good title to the sale shares of Success Mark, free from all encumbrances;

  • (c) the shareholders of Success Mark having a good title to the shareholders’ loan of Success Mark, free from all encumbrances; and

  • (d) the shareholders of Success Mark having procured Success Mark to give and prove that it has a good title to the Success Mark Property in accordance with Sections 13 and 13A of the Conveyancing and Property Ordinance (Chapter 219 of the Laws of Hong Kong) free from all encumbrances.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the above conditions precedent under the Success Mark Sale Share Agreement had been fulfilled or waived as Nice Able is currently carrying out a due diligence and title review which is expected to be completed in early July 2020.

Condition Precedent of the Property Purchase Agreements

For each of the Property Purchase Agreements, a formal agreement dated 8 April 2020 has been entered into between Nice Able and each Property Vendor (the major terms of which are line with and have no material difference from the terms in the provisional agreement dated 25 March 2020), and the condition precedent is that the respective Property Vendor(s) shall have good title in accordance with Sections 13 and 13A of the Conveyancing and Property Ordinance (Chapter 219 of the Laws of Hong Kong) in relation to the respective property prior to completion, free from all encumbrances. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the condition precedent had not been fulfilled as Nice Able is currently carrying out a due diligence and title review which is expected to be completed in early July 2020.

Consideration

The Consideration for the Acquisition is HK$89,115,992, which was paid or is payable by the Buyer to the Seller in the following manner:

  • (a) a HK$30,000,000 deposit was paid on 6 April 2020;

  • (b) HK$41,546,000 being a further deposit was paid on 16 April 2020;

  • (c) HK$10,000,000 being a second further deposit was paid on 22 April 2020;

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (d) HK$5,000,000 being a third further deposit was paid on 29 April 2020; and

  • (e) HK$2,569,992 being the balance of the Consideration is payable by the Buyer to the Seller at the Nice Able Completion Date.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, a total of HK$86,546,000 of the Consideration has been paid by the Buyer to the Seller and the remaining balance of the Consideration of HK$2,569,992 will be paid at the Nice Able Completion Date. Sums of HK$209,750,000 in aggregate remaining payable to the shareholders of Success Mark and each of the Property Vendors shall be paid on or before 22 July 2020 and such payment is a binding commitment of Nice Able. Thus, the aggregate consideration for acquiring the Success Mark Property and the Catchick Street Properties is HK$298,865,992 (being the aggregate of the Consideration of HK$89,115,992 and the sums remaining payable under the Success Mark Sale Share Agreement and the Property Purchase Agreements of HK$209,750,000).

There will be no adjustment to the Consideration but the aggregate consideration for acquiring the Success Mark Property and the Catchick Street Properties if the unit on 3/F., No. 95 Catchick Street, Hong Kong cannot be acquired by Nice Able (as it is under probate). Under the Property Purchase Agreement of 3/F., No. 95 Catchick Street, Hong Kong, the total consideration is HK$12,000,000 which is the market value of such property. Nice Able has the right to cancel such Property Purchase Agreement if the grant of probate cannot be obtained on or before 31 December 2020, in such case, the Property Vendor(s) thereto shall return to Nice Able all the deposits and amount paid (i.e. HK$1,200,000). Accordingly, the aggregate consideration for acquiring the Success Mark Property and the Catchick Street Properties will be reduced by HK$12,000,000 to HK$286,865,992. The Directors consider that the likelihood of probate not being obtained is low and that even if it is not obtained and the agreement is terminated, the Company will be able to acquire the unit at market price and proceed with the redevelopment, by exercising its rights under the Land (Compulsory Sale for Redevelopment) Ordinance (Chapter 545 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

The Company in acquiring the Sites for redevelopment also expects that there will be stamp duty refundable of approximately HK$34,137,400 when redevelopment takes place. Nice Able has paid stamp duty of HK$41,546,000 in aggregate of which approximately HK$34,137,000 is refundable by the Hong Kong Government in respect of the residential (but not commercial) units on commencement of redevelopment under Sections 29DD and 29DE of the Stamp Duty Ordinance (Chapter 117 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

The Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Buyer and the Seller. When determining the Consideration, the Company had taken into account the commitments of Nice Able under the Success Mark Sale Share Agreement and the Property Purchase Agreements, the valuation of the Success Mark Property and the Catchick Street Properties, the ownership of the Success Mark Property and the Catchick Street Properties, the location of the Success Mark Property and the Catchick Street Properties, the Shareholder’s Loan, the market price of properties of similar size and usage, the stamp duty refundable, and the redevelopment potential of the Sites. The Group intends to fund the Consideration from internal resources and/or bank facilities. The Company has no current plan to conduct any fund-raising activities to settle the Consideration.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the above, the Directors are of the view that the aggregate consideration for acquiring the Success Mark Property and the Catchick Street Properties is fair and reasonable. The Board is also of the view that the terms of the Acquisition are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole because they were negotiated on arm’s length terms and all sums paid by the Buyer before the Nice Able Completion Date must be repaid by the Seller if the conditions precedent are not fulfilled or waived.

REASONS AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

At the time of entering the Agreement for Sale and Purchase, Nice Able had already entered into the Success Mark Sale Share Agreement and the Property Purchase Agreements under which the total purchase cost is HK$232,320,000, and these agreements are binding contracts for the parties thereto requiring the parties to buy and sell the assets in question. As such the Group acquires the Success Mark Property and the Catchick Street Properties through Nice Able from the Seller, instead of directly from the shareholders of Success Mark and the Property Vendors.

After the Nice Able Completion Date, the Company will own 100% of the issued share capital of Nice Able and Nice Able will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company plans to seek to acquire the Remaining Unit in order to own the entire No. 95 Building for future redevelopment. If it succeeds in acquiring the whole No. 95 Building, the Company intends to demolish No. 93 Building and No. 95 Building and redevelop the Sites into a commercial and/or residential mixed-use development to maximize the usage of the Sites.

The aggregate acquisition cost for acquiring the Success Mark Property and the Catchick Street Properties by the Company is HK$298,865,992. It is a normal practice in determining the consideration paid for properties acquired for redevelopment by taking into account the stamp duty refundable. Therefore, by taking into account the stamp duty refundable of HK$34,137,400, the total purchase cost becomes HK$264,728,592 (i.e. aggregate acquisition cost of HK$298,865,992 less the stamp duty refundable of HK$34,137,400). Despite the total purchase cost is higher than the site value attributable to the Success Mark Property and the Catchick Street Properties as valued by Vigers (i.e. HK$260,000,000), based on the Board’s assessment on the market values of No. 93 Building and No. 95 Building over the past three (3) years which shows an increasing trend, the Board expects such increase will continue in the near future and the Board is of the view that the Acquisition is beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Taking into account the abovementioned, the Directors are in the view that the Acquisition, the terms and conditions of the Agreement for Sale and Purchase and transactions contemplated thereunder were arrived by the parties thereto after arm’s length negotiations, made on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole.

Based on the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Enlarged Group as set out in appendix III to this circular, the effect of the Acquisition is that (i) trade and other receivables would be increased by approximately HK$34,137,000; (ii) bank balances and cash would be decreased by approximately HK$89,931,000; and (iii) deposits paid for acquisition of properties held for development for sale increased by approximately HK$55,794,000. There will be no change in investment properties nor tax payable.

Further information on the financial effects of the Acquisition on the Group is found in appendix III to this circular.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition exceeds 25% but is less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction of the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

GENERAL

The SGM will be convened and held to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

To the best of the Directors’ information, knowledge and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder has a material interest in the Acquisition and no Shareholder will be required to abstain from voting at the SGM.

A notice convening the SGM to be held at Block A, 7th Floor, Hong Kong Spinners Building, Phase 6, 481–483 Castle Peak Road, Cheung Sha Wan, Kowloon, Hong Kong on Monday, 8 June 2020 at 9:00 a.m. is set out on pages N-1 to N-2 of this circular. A form of proxy for the SGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not Shareholders are able to attend and vote at the SGM, they are requested to read the notice and to complete and sign the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Secretaries Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the SGM. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude the Shareholders from attending and voting in person at the SGM or any adjournment thereof should they so wish and, in such event, the proxy form shall be deemed to be revoked.

The resolution put to the SGM will be voted on by way of poll.

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

As mentioned in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2019, the Group will continue focusing its efforts in the development of its existing principal businesses: property development, property investment, securities investment, loan financing business and other potential projects with a view to providing steady returns for the Shareholders and bring increased growth to the Group.

Despite the uncertainties on global economic outlook caused by the softening global economic growth and the outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the Group is prudently optimistic about the prospects of the property and securities market in Hong Kong and believes these markets will continue to grow over the longer term.

In line with its investment strategy and policy, the Company will continue to identify appropriate investment and divestment opportunities that fit the objective and investment criteria of the Company, and will continue to seek opportunities to replenish its property portfolio as an ongoing business exercise. The Board would exercise utmost caution, so as to bring positive impact on the operating and financial results to the Company in the foreseeable future.

5. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

The Directors confirm that, as at the Latest Practicable Date, subject to COVID-19 and other unpredictable circumstances, there has been no material adverse change in the financial or trading position or outlook of the Group since 31 March 2019, the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Company were made up, up to and including the Latest Practicable Date.

==> picture [167 x 51] intentionally omitted <==

21 May 2020

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NICE ABLE HOLDINGS LIMITED TO THE DIRECTORS OF EMINENCE ENTERPRISE LIMITED

Introduction

We report on the historical financial information of Nice Able Holdings Limited (“ Nice Able ”) set out on pages II-4 to II-15, which comprises the statement of financial position of Nice Able as at 6 April 2020 and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the period from 2 July 2019 (date of incorporation) to 6 April 2020 (the “ Relevant Period ”) and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (together, the “ Historical Financial Information ”). The Historical Financial Information forms an integral part of this report, which has been prepared for inclusion in the circular of the Company dated 21 May 2020 in connection with the proposed acquisition of the entire equity interests in Nice Able by the Company.

Sole Director’s Responsibility for the Historical Financial Information

The sole director of Nice Able is responsible for the preparation of the Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in note 2 to the Historical Financial Information, and for such internal controls as the sole director determines are necessary to enable the preparation of Historical Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Reporting Accountants’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Historical Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We conducted our work in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Investment Circular Reporting Engagements 200 “Accountants’ Reports on the Historical Financial Information in Investment Circulars” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “ HKICPA ”). This standard requires that we comply with ethical standards and plan and perform our work to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Financial Information is free from material misstatement.

– II-1 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NICE ABLE AND SUCCESS MARK

APPENDIX II

Our work involved performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Financial Information. The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the Historical Financial Information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the reporting accountants consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the Historical Financial Information that give a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in note 2 to the Historical Financial Information in order to design procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Our work also included evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the sole director, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Financial Information.

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

Opinion

In our opinion, the Historical Financial Information gives, for the purposes of the accountants’ report, a true and fair view of Nice Able’s financial position as at 6 April 2020 and of Nice Able’s financial performance and cash flows for the Relevant Periods in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in note 2 to the Historical Financial Information.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to note 2 to the Historical Financial Information which mentions that as at 6 April 2020 Nice Able had net current liabilities of HK$2,949,992. This condition indicates a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on Nice Able’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NICE ABLE AND SUCCESS MARK

NOTES TO HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Nice Able was incorporated in British Virgin Islands with limited liability. Its registered office and principal place of business is at OMC Chambers, Wickhams Cay 1, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands.

Nice Able is engaged in investment holding during the Relevant Period.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

As at 6 April 2020 Nice Able had net current liabilities of HK$2,949,992. This condition indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on Nice Able’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, Nice Able may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which depends upon the financial support of the controlling shareholder, at a level sufficient to finance the working capital requirements of Nice Able. The controlling shareholder has agreed to provide adequate funds for Nice Able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The sole director is therefore of the opinion that it is appropriate to prepare the Historical Financial Information on a going concern basis. Should Nice Able be unable to continue as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made to the Historical Financial Information to adjust the value of Nice Able’s assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise and to reclassify non-current assets and liabilities as current assets and liabilities, respectively.

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 4 below which conform with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“ HKFRSs ”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “ HKICPA ”). In addition, the Historical Financial Information includes the applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

In the current period, Nice Able has adopted all the new and revised HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA that are relevant to its operations and effective for its accounting periods beginning on or after 2 July 2019. HKFRSs comprise HKFRS; Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“ HKAS ”); and Interpretations. The adoption of these new and revised HKFRSs did not result in significant changes to Nice Able’s accounting policies, presentation of the Historical Financial Information and amounts reported for the current period.

Nice Able has not applied the new and revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective. Nice Able has already commenced an assessment of the impact of these new and revised HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to state whether these new and revised HKFRSs would have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Historical Financial Information have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The Historical Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong dollars (“ HK$ ”) which is Nice Able’s functional and presentation currency.

The preparation of Historical Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain key assumptions and estimates. It also requires the sole director to exercise its judgements in the process of applying the accounting policies. The areas involving critical judgements and areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Historical Financial Information, are disclosed in note 5 to the Historical Financial Information.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Historical Financial Information are set out below.

Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position when Nice Able becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

– II-8 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NICE ABLE AND SUCCESS MARK

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire; Nice Able transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets; or Nice Able neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets but has not retained control on the assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets

Financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis where the purchase or sale of an asset is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the asset within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially recognised at fair value, plus directly attributable transaction costs except in the case of investments at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of investments at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets of Nice Able are classified under financial assets at amortised cost.

Financial assets (including trade and other receivables) are classified under this category if they satisfy both of the following conditions:

  • the assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • the contractual terms of the assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less loss allowance for expected credit losses.

Loss allowances for expected credit losses

Nice Able recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortised cost. Expected credit losses are the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a default occurring as the weights.

At the end of each reporting period, Nice Able measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of that financial instrument (“ lifetime expected credit losses ”) for trade receivables, contract assets and lease receivables, or if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition.

If, at the end of the reporting period, the credit risk on a financial instrument (other than trade receivables, contract assets and lease receivables) has not increased significantly since initial recognition, Nice Able measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to the portion of lifetime expected credit losses that represents the expected credit losses that result from default events on that financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting period.

The amount of expected credit losses or reversal to adjust the loss allowance at the end of the reporting period to the required amount is recognised in profit or loss as an impairment gain or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents represent cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of Nice Able’s cash management are also included as a component of cash and cash equivalents.

– II-9 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NICE ABLE AND SUCCESS MARK

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument under HKFRSs. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of Nice Able after deducting all of its liabilities. The accounting policies adopted for specific financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.

Other payables

Other payables are initially recognised at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by Nice Able are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Taxation

Income tax represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the Relevant Period. Taxable profit differs from profit recognised in profit or loss because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. Nice Able’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on 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 and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and Nice Able intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Related parties

A related party is a person or entity that is related to Nice Able.

  • (A) directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, the party controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, Nice Able; has an interest in Nice Able that gives it significant influence over Nice Able; or has joint control over Nice Able;

  • (vii) A person identified in (A)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).

  • (viii) The entity, or any member of a group of which it is a part, provides key management personnel services to Nice Able or to a parent of Nice Able.

Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when Nice Able has a present legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditures expected to settle the obligation.

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow is remote.

Events after the reporting period

Events after the reporting period that provide additional information about Nice Able’s position at the end of the reporting period or those that indicate the going concern assumption is not appropriate are adjusting events and are reflected in the Historical Financial Information. Events after the reporting period that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to the Historical Financial Information when material.

5. CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS

Critical judgements in applying accounting policies

In the process of applying the accounting policies, the sole director has made the following judgements that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the Historical Financial Information.

Going concern basis

The Historical Financial Information have been prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which depends upon the financial support of the controlling shareholder at a level sufficient to finance the working capital requirements of Nice Able.

– II-11 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NICE ABLE AND SUCCESS MARK

APPENDIX II

6. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Nice Able’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Nice Able’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on Nice Able’s financial performance.

Foreign currency risk

Nice Able has minimal exposure to foreign currency risk as most of its business transactions, assets and liabilities are principally denominated in HKD. Nice Able currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy in respect of foreign currency transactions, assets and liabilities. Nice Able will monitor its foreign currency exposure closely and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

Credit risk

The carrying amount of deposits paid for acquisition of investment properties and deposits paid for investment included in the statement of financial position represents Nice Able’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to Nice Able’s financial assets.

Nice Able has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a number of counterparties.

Nice Able considers whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk of financial assets on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period by comparing the risk of a default occurring as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information. Especially the following information is used:

  • internal credit rating;

  • external credit rating (if available);

  • actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the borrower’s ability to meet its obligations;

  • actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the borrower;

  • significant increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same borrower; and

  • significant changes in the expected performance and behaviour of the borrower, including changes in the payment status of borrowers.

A significant increase in credit risk is presumed if a debtor is more than 30 days past due in making a contractual payment. A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within 60 days of when they fall due.

Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor failing to engage in a repayment plan with Nice Able. Nice Able normally categorises a loan or receivable for write off when a debtor fails to make contractual payments greater than 360 days past due. Where loans or receivables have been written off, Nice Able, if practicable and economical, continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due.

Liquidity risk

Nice Able’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term. All of Nice Able’s financial liabilities are due within one year.

APPENDIX II

Our work involved performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Financial Information. The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the Historical Financial Information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the reporting accountants consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the Historical Financial Information that give a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in note 2 to the Historical Financial Information in order to design procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Our work also included evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Financial Information.

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

Opinion

In our opinion, the Historical Financial Information gives, for the purposes of the accountants’ report, a true and fair view of Success Mark’s financial position as at 31 March 2018, 2019 and 2020 and of Success Mark’s financial performance and cash flows for the Relevant Periods in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in note 2 to the Historical Financial Information.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to note 2 to the Historical Financial Information which mentions that as at 31 March 2018, 2019 and 2020 Success Mark had net current liabilities of HK$13,035,273, HK$12,587,161 and HK$12,002,613, respectively. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on Success Mark’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NICE ABLE AND SUCCESS MARK

NOTES TO HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Success Mark was incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability under the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. Its registered office and principal place of business is at Unit 606, 6th Floor, Alliance Building, 133 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong.

During the Relevant Periods, the principal activity of Success Mark was property holding in Hong Kong, and the property owned by Success Mark is located at G/F., No. 93 Catchick Street, Hong Kong.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

As at 31 March 2018, 2019 and 2020 Success Mark had net current liabilities of HK$13,035,273, HK$12,587,161 and HK$12,002,613, respectively. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on Success Mark’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, Success Mark may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which depends upon the financial support of the controlling shareholder, at a level sufficient to finance the working capital requirements of Success Mark. The controlling shareholder has agreed to provide adequate funds for Success Mark to meet its liabilities as they fall due. The directors are therefore of the opinion that it is appropriate to prepare the Historical Financial Information on a going concern basis. Should Success Mark be unable to continue as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made to the Historical Financial Information to adjust the value of Success Mark’s assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise and to reclassify non-current assets and liabilities as current assets and liabilities, respectively.

The Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 4 below which conform with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“ HKFRSs ”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “ HKICPA ”). In addition, the Historical Financial Information includes the applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

3. ADOPTION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

In the current period, Success Mark has adopted all the new and revised HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA that are relevant to its operations and effective for its accounting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2019. HKFRSs comprise HKFRS; Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“ HKAS ”); and Interpretations. The adoption of these new and revised HKFRSs did not result in significant changes to Success Mark’s accounting policies, presentation of the Historical Financial Information and amounts reported for the current period.

Success Mark has not applied the new and revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective. Success Mark has already commenced an assessment of the impact of these new and revised HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to state whether these new and revised HKFRSs would have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Historical Financial Information have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of investment property which are carried at their fair values and assets classified as held for sales which are carried at their fair values less costs to sell. The Historical Financial Information is presented in HK$ which is Success Mark’s functional and presentation currency.

The preparation of Historical Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain key assumptions and estimates. It also requires the directors to exercise its judgements in the process of applying the accounting policies. The areas involving critical judgements and areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Historical Financial Information, are disclosed in note 5 to the Historical Financial Information.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Historical Financial Information are set out below.

– II-23 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NICE ABLE AND SUCCESS MARK

Investment Property

Investment property is land and buildings held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation. An investment property (including property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property) is measured initially at its cost including all direct costs attributable to the property.

After initial recognition, the investment property is stated at its fair value based on valuation by an external independent valuer. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value of the investment property are recognised in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.

If an investment property becomes owner-occupied or a property held for sale, it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment or properties held for sale as appropriate, and its fair value at the date of reclassification becomes its cost for accounting purposes.

The gain or loss on disposal of an investment property is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the property, and is recognised in profit or loss.

Leases

Success Mark as lessor

Leases that do not substantially transfer to the lessees all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets are accounted for as operating leases. Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straightline basis over the term of the relevant lease.

Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position when the Success Mark becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire; Success Mark transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets; or Success Mark neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets but has not retained control on the assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets

Financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis where the purchase or sale of an asset is under a contract whose terms require delivery of the asset within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially recognised at fair value, plus directly attributable transaction costs except in the case of investments at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of investments at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets of Success Mark are classified under financial assets at amortised cost.

Financial assets (including trade and other receivables) are classified under this category if they satisfy both of the following conditions:

  • the assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • the contractual terms of the assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

– II-24 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NICE ABLE AND SUCCESS MARK

They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less loss allowance for expected credit losses.

Loss allowances for expected credit losses

Success Mark recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortised cost. Expected credit losses are the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a default occurring as the weights.

At the end of each reporting period, Success Mark measures the loss allowance for a financial instrument at an amount equal to the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of that financial instrument (“ lifetime expected credit losses ”) for trade receivables, contract assets and lease receivables, or if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition.

If, at the end of the reporting period, the credit risk on a financial instrument (other than trade receivables, contract assets and lease receivables) has not increased significantly since initial recognition, Success Mark measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to the portion of lifetime expected credit losses that represents the expected credit losses that result from default events on that financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting period.

The amount of expected credit losses or reversal to adjust the loss allowance at the end of the reporting period to the required amount is recognised in profit or loss as an impairment gain or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents represent cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of Success Mark’s cash management are also included as a component of cash and cash equivalents.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument under HKFRSs. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of Success Mark after deducting all of its liabilities. The accounting policies adopted for specific financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.

Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless Success Mark has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Other payables

Other payables are initially recognised at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by Success Mark are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Other revenue

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.

– II-25 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NICE ABLE AND SUCCESS MARK

APPENDIX II

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

To the extent that funds are borrowed generally and used for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is determined by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditures on that asset. The capitalisation rate is the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings of Success Mark that are outstanding during the period, other than borrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Taxation

Income tax represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the Relevant Period. Taxable profit differs from profit recognised in profit or loss because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. Success Mark’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on 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 and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and Success Mark intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when Success Mark has a present legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditures expected to settle the obligation.

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow is remote.

Events after the reporting period

Events after the reporting period that provide additional information about Success Mark’s position at the end of the reporting period or those that indicate the going concern assumption is not appropriate are adjusting events and are reflected in the Historical Financial Information. Events after the reporting period that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to the Historical Financial Information when material.

5. CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS AND KEY ESTIMATES

Critical judgements in applying accounting policies

In the process of applying the accounting policies, the directors have made the following judgements that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the Historical Financial Information.

Going concern basis

The Historical Financial Information have been prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which depends upon the financial support of the controlling shareholder at a level sufficient to finance the working capital requirements of Success Mark.

– II-27 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NICE ABLE AND SUCCESS MARK

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below.

Fair values of investment property

Success Mark appointed an independent professional valuer to assess the fair values of the investment properties. In determining the fair values, the valuer has utilised a method of valuation which involves certain estimates. The directors have exercised their judgement and are satisfied that the method of valuation is reflective of the current market conditions. Further details are given in note 7 and 13 to the Historical Financial Information.

6. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Success Mark’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: foreign currency risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. Success Mark’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on Success Mark’s financial performance.

Foreign currency risk

Success Mark has minimal exposure to foreign currency risk as most of its business transactions, assets and liabilities are principally denominated in HK$. Success Mark currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy in respect of foreign currency transactions, assets and liabilities. Success Mark will monitor its foreign currency exposure closely and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

Credit risk

The carrying amount of bank balances and cash, other receivables and amount due from a director included in the statement of financial position represents Success Mark’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to Success Mark’s financial assets.

The credit risk on bank balances and cash is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings.

Success Mark has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a number of counterparties.

Success Mark considers whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk of financial assets on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period by comparing the risk of a default occurring as at the reporting date with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition. It considers available reasonable and supportive forwarding-looking information. Especially the following information is used:

  • internal credit rating;

  • external credit rating (if available);

  • actual or expected significant adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant change to the borrower’s ability to meet its obligations;

  • actual or expected significant changes in the operating results of the borrower;

  • significant increases in credit risk on other financial instruments of the same borrower; and

  • significant changes in the expected performance and behaviour of the borrower, including changes in the payment status of borrowers.

A significant increase in credit risk is presumed if a debtor is more than 30 days past due in making a contractual payment. A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments within 60 days of when they fall due.

– II-28 –

APPENDIX II FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF NICE ABLE AND SUCCESS MARK

Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a debtor failing to engage in a repayment plan with Success Mark. Success Mark normally categorises a loan or receivable for write off when a debtor fails to make contractual payments greater than 360 days past due. Where loans or receivables have been written off, Success Mark, if practicable and economical, continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivable due.

Liquidity risk

Success Mark’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity requirements in the short and longer term. All of Success Mark’s financial liabilities are due within one year.

Interest rate risk

Success Mark’s exposure to interest-rate risk arises from its secured bank borrowing. The secured bank borrowing bear interests at variable rates varied with the then prevailing market condition.

Success Mark currently does not use any derivative contracts to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk. Management monitors interest rate fluctuations to ensure that exposure to interest rate risk is within an acceptable level and will consider hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arises.

At 31 March 2018, 2019 and 2020, if interest rates at that date had been 100 basis points higher/lower with all other variables held constant, Success Mark’s post-tax profit for the years ended 31 March 2018, 2019 and 2020 would have been approximately HK$30,324, HK$28,546 and HK$24,769 lower/higher, respectively.

Fair values

The carrying amounts of Success Mark’s financial assets and financial liabilities as reflected in the statements of financial position approximate their respective fair values.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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. The following disclosures of fair value measurements use a fair value hierarchy that categorises into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value:

Level 1 inputs: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs: inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 inputs: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Success Mark’s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of any of the three levels as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.

A. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

The accompanying unaudited pro forma statement of assets and liabilities of the Enlarged Group (the “ Statement ”) has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the acquisition of the Sale Shares of Nice Able and the assignment of the Shareholder’s Loan from the Seller subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement for Sale and Purchase (the “ Acquisition ”), assuming the transaction had been completed as at 30 September 2019, might have affected the financial position of the Group.

The Statement is prepared based on (i) the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 30 September 2019 as extracted from the published interim report of the Group for the six months ended 30 September 2019 and (ii) the audited statement of financial position of Nice Able as at 6 April 2020 as extracted from the Accountants’ Report of set out in Appendix II of the Circular after making certain proforma adjustments resulting from the Acquisition.

The Statement is prepared based on a number of assumptions, estimates, uncertainties and currently available information, and is provided for illustrative purposes only. Accordingly, as a result of the nature of the Statement, it may not give a true picture of the actual financial position of the Group that would have been attained had the Acquisition actually occurred on 30 September 2019. Furthermore, the Statement does not purport to predict the Group’s future financial position.

The Statement should be read in conjunction with the financial information of the Group as set out in Appendix I of the Circular, the financial information of Nice Able as set out in Appendix II of the Circular and other financial information included elsewhere in the Circular.

Notes:

  1. The figures are extracted from the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 30 September 2019 as set out in the published interim report of the Group for the six months end 30 September 2019.

  2. The adjustment represents the acquisition of Nice Able (the “ Acquisition ”), as if the Acquisition for pro forma purpose, takes place on 30 September 2019. The financial information of Nice Able is extracted from the audited statement of financial position of Nice Able as at 6 April 2020 as set out in the accountants’ report on Nice Able (the “ Nice Able Accountants’ Report ”) which is contained in Appendix II to this circular. The Directors consider that 6 April 2020 is the latest practicable date for the purpose of Nice Able Accountants’ Report which faithfully reflects the latest status of Nice Able.

The Acquisition did not constitute a business combination. The Acquisition is for the purpose of acquiring the Catchick Street Properties and Success Mark Property. Therefore, the consideration was allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities of Nice Able.

– III-3 –

APPENDIX III

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

  1. The adjustment represents the reclassification of “deposits paid for investment/acquisition of investment properties” to “deposits paid for acquisition of properties held for development for sale” on group level.

  2. The adjustment represents the consideration of approximately HK$89,116,000 (the “ Consideration ”) paid by the Company, of which is the consideration for the Acquisition of Nice Able. The allocations of the Consideration to the identifiable assets are:

  3. (i) ad valorem stamp duty and buyer’s stamp duty of approximately HK$34,137,000, paid by the Seller on behalf of Nice Able which is refundable when the Sites are demolished for redevelopment and recognised as “stamp duty recoverable” and included in “trade and other receivables”. The amount is assumed to be approximate to its fair value and is expected to be settled within one year; and

  4. (ii) the residual transaction price, being the Consideration after deducting from the amounts stated in note 4(i), is recognised as deposits paid for acquisition of properties held for development for sale of approximately HK$54,979,000. (being HK$2,950,000 stated in note 3 and HK$52,029,000 stated in this adjustment).

Also, in accordance with the Agreement for Sale and Purchase, the Shareholder’s Loan was assigned from the Seller to Success Edge Limited, the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The adjustment in the amount of “Amount due to shareholder” of approximately HK$2,950,000 represents the elimination of intercompany balance after the Shareholder’s Loan assignment and as if the Acquisition, for pro forma purpose, take place on 30 September 2019.

  1. The adjustment represents payment of the estimated transaction costs directly attributable to the Acquisition of approximately HK$815,000.

  2. No adjustments have been made to reflect any trading results or other transactions of the Group entered into subsequent to 30 September 2019.

APPENDIX IV

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 the Shareholders as a whole.

APPENDIX IV

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 the 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 with its subsidiaries as the “ Group ”), we confirm that we have inspected the Property, made relevant enquiries and investigations as well as obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing our opinion of value of the Property as at 3rd April 2020 (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 ”).

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX VI

VALUATION APPROACH

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

TITLE INVESTIGATIONS

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

VALUATION CONSIDERATION

On-site external inspection to the Property was carried out by Mr. Jeff M.C. LIU BSc(Hons) on 31st March 2020. But we must stress that we have not carried out any structural survey nor have we inspected the woodwork or other parts of the structures of the Property which was covered, unexposed or inaccessible to us. We are therefore unable to report whether such part of the Property is free from any structural or non-structural defect.

Having examined all relevant documents, we have relied to a considerable extent on the information given by the Group, particularly planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, land tenure, 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 its 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.

– VI-2 –

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX VI

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

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

REMARKS

The outbreak of the “Novel Coronavirus” (“ COVID-19 ”), declared by the “World Health Organisation” as a “Global Pandemic” on 11th March 2020, has impacted global financial markets. Travel restrictions have been implemented by many countries. Market activity is being impacted in many sectors. As at the Date of Valuation, we consider that we can attach less weight to previous market evidence for comparison purpose, to inform our opinion of values. Indeed, the current response to COVID-19 means that we are faced with an unprecedented set of circumstances on which to base a judgement. Our valuations are therefore reported on the basis of “material uncertainty” in accordance with “VPS3 Valuation Reports” and “VPGA10 Matters that may give Rise to Material Valuation Uncertainty” of “RICS Valuation – Global Standards” published by the RICS as well as “VS9 Reporting” of “The HKIS Valuation Standards (2017 Edition)” published by the HKIS. Consequently, less certainty – and a higher degree of caution – should be attached to our valuations than would normally be the case. Given the unknown future impact that COVID-19 might have on the real estate market, we recommend that you keep the valuations of the properties under frequent review.

We hereby confirm that:

  • (1) we have no present or prospective interest in the Property; and are not a related corporation of nor having a relationship with the Group or other party/parties who the Group is contracting with;

  • (2) we are authorised to practise as external valuer and have the necessary expertise and experience in valuing similar types of properties;

  • (3) our valuation has been prepared on a fair and unbiased basis;

  • (4) the valuer’s compensation is not contingent upon reporting of a predetermined value or direction in value that favours the cause of the vendor or purchaser, the amount of the value estimate, the attainment of a stipulated result, or occurrence of subsequent event; and

  • (5) we are independent of the Group.
