CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”)
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 and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited and the Stock Exchange take no responsibility for the contents of this report, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this report.
This report for which the directors (the “ Director(s) ”) of Vision International Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “ Group ”, “ we ” or “ our ”) collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM of the Stock Exchange (the “ GEM Listing Rules ”) for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Group.

The Company’s immediate and ultimate holding company is Metro Vanguard Limited (“ Metro Vanguard ”), a limited company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (the “ BVI ”) with limited liability.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants as well as with the applicable disclosure requirements of Chapter 18 of the GEM Listing Rules.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars (“ HK$ ”), which is different from the functional currency of the Company, United States Dollars (“ US$ ”). The Directors consider that presenting the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in HK$ is preferable as the Company’s shares are listed on GEM of the Stock Exchange.
The accounting policies and basis of preparation adopted in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended 31 March 2023 are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022, which have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“ HKFRSs ”), except for the adoption of the following new and amendments to HKFRSs effective from 1 January 2023, as noted below.
HKFRS 17 (including the October Insurance Contracts 2020 and February 2022 Amendments to HKFRS 17) Amendments to HKAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and related amendments to Hong Kong Interpretation 5 (2020) Amendments to HKAS 1 and Disclosure of Accounting Policies HKFRS Practice Statement 2 Amendments to HKAS 8 Definition of Accounting Estimates Amendments to HKAS 12 Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction
The application of the new and amendments to HKFRSs in the current period has had no significant financial effect on these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended 31 March 2023.
The Group has not early applied those new and revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective.
The Directors anticipate that the application of those new standard(s), amendments and interpretation(s) will have no material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Management Discussion and Analysis
BUSINESS REVIEW
Our Group is based in Hong Kong and generates revenue mainly from (i) the sales of apparel and related products with the provision of SCM services to customers, delivering one-stop solution to customers in Europe and Asia; (ii) the agency fees from the sales of construction and related materials to the construction materials sourcing agents in South East Asia, and (iii) the sales and distribution of health supplements products.
As a well-established apparel SCM services provider, we have developed a vertically integrated business model with services ranging across market trend analysis, product design and development, sourcing of suppliers, production management, logistics services and quality control. Through engaging us for apparel SCM services, our customers are able to focus their resources on their retail businesses and respond quickly to the fast-evolving changes of the fashion industry, as they do not have to separately engage different suppliers for various types of services throughout the apparel supply chain.
Besides, during the three months ended 31 March 2023, our Group leveraged on our experience in SCM and extended our business to the sales and distribution of health supplements products in order to diversify our income stream.
First Quarterly Report 2023 13
Management Discussion and Analysis
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Revenue
The Group’s revenue increased by 7.3% from HK$25.9 million for the three months ended 31 March 2022 to HK$27.8 million for the three months ended 31 March 2023. The increase was mainly attributable to the increased revenue from customers in Macau for apparels and related products, and the additional revenue from the customers in Hong Kong for health supplements products.
Cost of sales
Our cost of sales mainly consists of purchase costs, import duty and other cost of sales. Purchase cost represents the cost of apparel products purchased from our suppliers mainly located in the People’s Republic of China, Madagascar and Cambodia, and the cost of health supplements products purchased from our suppliers located in Hong Kong.
Cost of sales increased by 7.6% from HK$24.5 million for the three months ended 31 March 2022 to HK$26.4 million for the three months ended 31 March 2023, which was in line with the increase in sales for the three months ended 31 March 2023.
Gross profit and gross profit margin
Gross profit was HK$1.4 million for both three months ended 31 March 2022 and 2023, respectively. Gross profit margin remained relatively stable at 5.3% for the three months ended 31 March 2022 to 5.0% for the three months ended 31 March 2023, respectively.
Other income
Other income decreased from HK$45,000 for the three months ended 31 March 2022 to HK$22,000 for the three months ended 31 March 2023, mainly due to the decrease in sample sales income.
Other gains and losses
Other gains and losses mainly include the net change in allowance for expected credit losses for trade receivables, and the net foreign exchange difference resulted from fluctuations in the exchange rate of the foreign currency incurred in our operation.
Other gains increased from HK$28,000 for the three months ended 31 March 2022 to HK$2.0 million for the three months ended 31 March 2023. Such increase was due to the decrease in the net change in allowance for expected credit losses in respect of trade receivables since a number of trade receivables were duly settled during the three months ended 31 March 2023.

Management Discussion and Analysis
Selling and distribution expenses
Selling and distribution expenses mainly include staff costs, customer service fee, freight and transportation cost, travelling expenses, exhibition fees, design fee, sample and development cost and other selling and distribution expenses.
Selling and distribution expenses increased from HK$0.3 million for the three months ended 31 March 2022 to HK$1.6 million for the three months ended 31 March 2023. Such increase was mainly attributable to the increase in marketing fee of health supplements products.
Administrative expenses
Administrative expenses mainly include professional fees, staff costs (including Directors’ remuneration), amortisation of intangible assets, depreciation, rent and rates and other administrative expenses.
Administrative expenses amounted to HK$1.8 million and HK$2.3 million for the three months ended 31 March 2022 and 2023, respectively. The increase was mainly due to the increase in professional fees and directors’ fees.
Finance costs
The Group’s finance costs amounted to approximately HK$0.3 million and HK$0.7 million for the three months ended 31 March 2022 and 2023, respectively.
Income tax expense/credit
The income tax credit for the three months ended 31 March 2022 amounted to approximately HK$30,000 and the income tax expense amounted to approximately HK$7,000 for the three months ended 31 March 2023, respectively.
Loss for the period
The loss for the three months ended 31 March 2022 and 31 March 2023 amounted to HK$1,020,000 and HK$1,056,000, respectively. The slight increase in loss was mainly attributable to the increase in selling and distribution expenses due to the increase in marketing fees, being offset by the increase in other gains due to the decrease in the net change in allowance for expected credit losses in respect of trade receivables.
Charge on the Group’s assets
As at 31 March 2023, the Group pledged the property comprising workshops 1–3 and 5–7 on 3rd Floor of China United Plaza, No. 1008 Tai Nan West Street, Kowloon, Hong Kong to a bank for the bank finance facility for the Group.

Management Discussion and Analysis
PROSPECTS
The Group is still struggling to recover in the midst of COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath. Yet, we expect the forthcoming business environment would still remain challenging, until more solid signs of customers sentiment improving in making sales orders improve are seen.
To cope with the lingering business downturn, our management has already taken costcontrol measures to reduce our operating costs. Going forward, the Group will continue to keep a close eye on the appropriate ways to apply such measures.
Moreover, in order to diversify the income stream of the Group, the Group is keeping on exploring new business opportunities, such as the business of construction and related materials to ASEAN countries since 2020. Recently, the Group has started our new business of sales and distribution of health supplements products with the provision of supply chain management services during the first quarter of 2023. The Directors are of the view that such expansion would further diversify our income stream, bringing additional and more stable revenue to the Group from different sources of business.
Nevertheless, we are closely monitoring the business operations of such new businesses in order to produce positive results to our Group.
