CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.
Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
INFORMATION OF THE PARTIES
The Company and the Group
The Company is an investment holding company. The Group principally engages in provision of treatment services and sale of skincare products in Hong Kong.
The Lessor
The Lessor primarily engages in property investment.
To the best of the Director’s knowledge, information and belief, and having made all reasonable enquiries, the Lessor is owned by Champion Real Estate Investment Trust (stock code: 2778) and the Lessor and its ultimate beneficial owner(s) are Independent Third Parties.
EFFECTS OF THE NEW LEASE AGREEMENT ON THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF PROFIT OR LOSS AND CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE GROUP
In accordance with HKFRS 16, the estimated value of the right-of-use asset recognised by the Group under the New Lease Agreement amounted to approximately HK$42.6 million which is calculated with reference to the present value of the aggregated lease payments plus adjustments required for deposit payment and estimated reinstatement cost. The Group will depreciate the right-of-use assets over the estimated useful life of 60 months on a straight linebasis and a monthly depreciation amounting to approximately HK$0.7 million will be charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Lease liabilities amounting to approximately HK$41.1 million is recognised by the Group in the consolidated statement of financial position and will decrease upon the settlement of lease payments to the landlord accordingly. There would be no change in net assets on the consolidated statement of financial position of the Group immediately after the entering into the New Lease Agreement.
FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS PROSPECT OF THE GROUP
The Group is a medical aesthetic service provider in Hong Kong and currently operates five medical aesthetic centres in prime locations of Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui and Central providing non-surgical medical aesthetic services. We strive to provide holistic treatment solutions to our clients through our non-surgical medical aesthetic services, traditional beauty services and sale of skincare products to help our clients maintain and enhance their skin conditions and physical appearance.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The opening of the new flagship centre will enable us to deepen our market penetration in Hong Kong. The Group will also take advantage of its enlarging geographical presence to attract new and more diverse customers. Along with the strategic expansion of its medical aesthetic centre network, the Group will sharpen its competitive advantage by extending the spectrum of our treatment services offered.
Despite the outlook of medical aesthetic services remains positive, the outbreak of COVID-19 since early 2020 weakened clients’ desire and willingness to undergo medical aesthetic treatments which adversely affected the revenue of the Group. The Group will closely monitor the market conditions and will intensify its response and elaborate sustainable development strategies to overcome the current unfavourable environment.
Nevertheless, the Group is confident of its capability to deliver quality service to our clients. Moving forward, the Group will apply its strengths, build on its solid customer base and established reputation to deliver stable business development.
IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE GEM LISTING RULES
Pursuant to HKFRS 16, as a result of the entering into the New Lease Agreement, the Group shall recognise the right-of-use asset in the consolidated financial statements of the Company, and the transaction contemplated thereunder will be regarded as an acquisition of asset by the Group in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules. The estimated value of the right-of-use asset to be recognised by the Company under the New Lease Agreement shall amount to approximately HK$42.6 million.
As the applicable percentage ratio (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) in respect of the New Lease Agreement based on the estimated value of the right-of-use asset recognised by the Group pursuant to HKFRS 16 exceeds 25% but less than 100%, the entering into the New Lease Agreement constitutes a major transaction of the Company and is accordingly subject to the notification, announcement, circular and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
WRITTEN SHAREHOLDERS’ APPROVAL
Pursuant to Rule 19.44 of the GEM Listing Rules, written Shareholders’ approval may be accepted in lieu of holding a general meeting if (i) no Shareholder will be required to abstain from voting at a general meeting of the Company for the approval of the New Lease Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereunder; and (ii) the written Shareholders’ approval has been obtained from a Shareholder or a closely allied group of Shareholders who together hold more than 50% of the voting rights at that general meeting to approve the New Lease Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereunder.
To the best of the knowledge of the Directors, the Lessor is an Independent Third Party and no Shareholder or any of their respective associates have any material interest in the New Lease Agreement, thus no Shareholder will be required to abstain from voting at a general meeting of the Company for approving the New Lease Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereunder, and Equal Joy, which holds 600,000,000 Shares of the Company (representing 75% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the New Lease Agreement and the Latest Practicable Date), has provided written Shareholders’ approval to approve the New Lease Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereunder. As such, the Company is exempt from convening a general meeting to approve the New Lease Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereunder.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the entering into the New Lease Agreement, the terms of the New Lease Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder were on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Although a general meeting will not be convened by the Company to approve the New Lease Agreement, if such a general meeting were to be convened by the Company, the Board would recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions to approve the New Lease Agreement.
