(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)

(Stock Code: 8069)

THIRD QUARTERLY RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”)

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate 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. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, 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.

This announcement, for which the directors (the “Directors”) of WWPKG Holdings Company Limited (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) 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 Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that, to the best of their knowledge and belief: (i) the information contained in this announcement is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive; (ii) there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement in this announcement misleading; and (iii) all opinions expressed in this announcement have been arrived at after due and careful consideration and are founded on bases and assumptions that are fair and reasonable.

The board (the “Board”) of Directors of the Company is pleased to announce the unaudited results of the Group for the nine months ended 31 December 2016, together with the comparative figures for the corresponding period in 2015 as set out below.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

For the nine months ended 31 December 2016

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

(a) GENERAL INFORMATION

The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 8 June 2016 as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Law, Cap. 22 (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) of the Cayman Islands. The registered office address of the Company is at P.O. Box 1350, Clifton House, 75 Fort Street, Grand Cayman KY1-1108, Cayman Islands.

The shares of the Company (the “Shares”) have been listed on GEM of the Stock Exchange by way of placing and public offer (collectively, the “Share Offer”) on 12 January 2017 (the “Listing Date”).

On the Listing Date, a total of 100,000,000 Shares of HK$0.01 each were offered under the Share Offer, of which 50,000,000 Shares, or 50% was offered by way of placing. The remaining 50%, or 50,000,000 Shares, was offered under the public offer. Based on the final offer price of HK$0.8 per Share, the net proceeds from the Share Offer received by the Company (after deducting underwriting fees and expenses in connection with the Share Offer) was approximately HK$57.1 million.

The Company is an investment holding company. The Group is principally engaged in selling of package tours, air tickets and hotel accommodations (“FIT products”) and certain ancillary travel related products and services in Hong Kong.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of units of Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), which is the same as the functional currency of the Company and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.

(b) REORGANISATION

In connection with the listing of the Shares on GEM of the Stock Exchange, the Company underwent a reorganisation (the “Reorganisation”).

Details of the Reorganisation are set out in the section headed “History, Reorganisation and Development” of the prospectus of the Company dated 30 December 2016 (the “Prospectus”). The Reorganisation involved only inserting new holding companies on top of the then existing group and has not resulted in any change of economic substance. The Group resulting from the Reorganisation is regarded as a continuing entity as it involved combinations of entities under common control, which were controlled by the same group of controlling shareholders. Immediately after the Reorganisation, the Company became the holding company of its subsidiaries now comprising the Group on the Listing Date. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using the merger accounting as if the Reorganisation had been completed and the current group structure had always been in existence. The unaudited condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the nine months ended 31 December 2016 include the results and changes in equity of the companies now comprising the Group from the earliest date presented or since their respective dates of incorporation, whichever was shorter, as if the current group structure had been in existence. No adjustment is made to reflect fair values, or to recognise any new assets or liabilities as a result of the Reorganisation.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

This unaudited condensed consolidated financial information for the nine months ended 31 December 2016 has been prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (the “HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) and the applicable disclosure requirements of GEM Listing Rules. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial information does not include all information and disclosures as required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s combined financial statements for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016 which have been prepared in accordance with the HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA, as set out in the Prospectus.

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed financial statements are consistent with those used in the Company’s combined financial statements for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016 as contained in the Prospectus.

The companies now comprising the Group, were under the common control of Mr. Yuen Sze Keung and Ms. Chan Suk Mei (the “Controlling Shareholders”), immediately before and after the Reorganisation. For the purpose of this announcement, the financial results for the nine months ended 31 December 2015 has been prepared on a combined basis.

The financial results for the nine months ended 31 December 2015 has been prepared by including the financial information of the companies, under common control of the Controlling Shareholders immediately before and after the Reorganisation and now comprising the Group as if the current group structure had been in existence throughout the periods presented, or since the date when the combining companies first came under the control of the Controlling Shareholders, whichever is the shorter period.

The net assets of the combining companies were combined using the existing book values from the Controlling Shareholders’ perspective. No amount is recognised in consideration for goodwill or excess of acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over cost at the time of business combination under common control, to the extent of the continuation of the controlling parties interest.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains/losses on transactions between group companies are eliminated on combination.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

BUSINESS REVIEW

Founded in 1979, the Group is one of the long-established and well-known travel agents in Hong Kong. The Group markets its travel related products under the brand “縱橫遊”. The Group’s businesses include (i) the design, development and sales of outbound package tours; (ii) the sales of FIT products; and (iii) the provision of ancillary travel related products and services. The Group’s major business is the provision of outbound package tours to various destinations with particular focus on Japan bound tours.

During the nine months ended 31 December 2016, the Group recorded a decrease in revenue of approximately 17.5% as compared to that for the nine months ended 31 December 2015, and a loss and total comprehensive loss of approximately HK$12.6 million. The decrease in revenue and the loss recorded for the period was mainly due to the decline in revenue from the sales of package tours bound for Japan during the first half of the financial year ending 31 March 2017 as a result of (i) the negative impact of the Kumamoto earthquake occurred in April 2016; (ii) the continued appreciation of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars coupled with the intense competition within the industry have reduced the demand of package tours bound for Japan; and (iii) that in view of the decreased demand and the fierce industry competition, the Group adjusted downward the selling prices of package tours in order to attract customers who are cost conscious. In addition, non-recurring listing expenses of approximately HK$11.1 million was recognised during the nine months ended 31 December 2016, which further contributed to the loss for the period.

The financial performance of the Group gradually picked up in the third quarter of the financial year ending 31 March 2017. During the three months ended 31 December 2016, the Group recorded a decrease in revenue of approximately 8.4% as compared to that for the three months ended 31

December 2015, and a profit and total comprehensive income of approximately HK$2.7 million. After excluding the non-recurring listing expenses of approximately HK$1.3 million, the profit and total comprehensive income for the three months ended 31 December 2016 increased from approximately HK$3.8 million for the three months ended 31 December 2015 to approximately HK$4.0 million, representing an increase of approximately 5.3%, which was mainly due to the following:

the negative impact of the Kumamoto earthquake occurred in April 2016 subsided, and the “Touch the Kyushu” Fair instigated by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan, as part of the ministry’s recovery campaigns, held between late September and early October 2016 in Hong Kong, helped to promote and hence increased the sales of the Group’s Kyushu tours. Also, the Group continued to receive hotel accommodation rebates from the prefecture government of Kyushu, of which approximately HK$1.1 million was offset against the Group’s cost of sales for the three months ended 31 December 2016;
the Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars began to depreciate in October 2016, which had a positive impact on the Group’s land costs and also led to the increase in demand of package tours bound for Japan particularly from customers who are cost conscious, when the number of customers enrolled in the Group’s package tours bound for Japan during the three months ended 31 December 2016 increased by approximately 2.7% as compared to that for the three months ended 31 December 2015;
the largest supplier of the Group agreed to reduce the air ticket prices of several destinations in Japan from 13 September 2016 until 25 January 2017, which in turn reduced the Group’s air fare costs for the three months ended 31 December 2016 by approximately 23.2% as compared to that for the three months ended 31 December 2015. On the other hand, such reduction of air ticket prices enabled the Group to reduce the selling prices of package tours bound for Japan that in turn induced demand from customers without compromising on gross profit margin; and
the Group continued to focus on further developing and launching new itineraries for existing tour destinations.

The Group’s revenue decreased by approximately 17.5% from approximately HK$342.7 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2015 to approximately HK$282.6 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2016. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to the decline in revenue from sales of package tours bound for Japan during the first half of the financial year ending 31 March 2017 mainly as a result of (i) the negative impact of the Kumamoto earthquake occurred in April 2016; (ii) the fact that the continued appreciation of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars between April 2016 and September 2016 coupled with the intense competition within the industry, particularly from online agencies and booking platforms of airlines and hotels which are introducing aggressive marketing campaigns and promotion programmes, have reduced the demand of customers who are cost conscious for the Group’s package tours bound for Japan; and (iii) that in view of the decreased demand and the fierce industry competition, the Group adjusted downward the selling prices of package tours bound for Japan in order to attract customers, which has also exerted pressure on the revenue from sales of package tours.

Cost of sales and gross profit

The Group’s cost of sales mainly represents the direct costs incurred for its sales of package tours, which primarily consists of airfare costs, hotel tariffs, land operator costs, local transportation costs, meal expenses and admission ticket costs. The cost of sales decreased by approximately 13.5% from approximately HK$279.8 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2015 to approximately HK$242.0 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2016, mainly due to the decrease in the sales of the Group’s package tours bound for Japan during the first half of the financial year ending 31 March 2017. Gross profit decreased by approximately 35.5% from approximately HK$62.9 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2015 to approximately HK$40.6 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2016, which was mainly due to the decrease in revenue from sales of package tours bound for Japan due to the reasons as discussed in the paragraph headed “Revenue” above and the continued appreciation of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars between April 2016 and September 2016 that increased the Group’s land cost per customer.

Selling expenses

Selling expenses mainly consist of (i) advertising and promotion expenses, such as sponsoring television travel programmes and films, online and offline media advertisements, participating in tourism fairs and organising travel seminars; (ii) credit card and debit card charges in respect of payments from customers with credit cards and Electronic Payment Services; and (iii) rental and related expenses for the Group’s branches.

For the nine months ended 31 December 2016, selling expenses remained the same at approximately HK$14.2 million as compared to the nine months ended 31 December 2015. Selling expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from approximately 4.1% for the nine months ended 31 December 2015 to approximately 5.0% for the nine months ended 31 December 2016, mainly due to the increase in rents incurred on branches premises.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses mainly consist of (i) staff costs, representing the Directors’ remuneration and the salaries and benefits for the Group’s administrative and general staff; (ii) rental and related expenses for the Group’s office premises; (iii) office, telecommunication and utility expenses incurred in the Group’s daily operations; (iv) legal and professional fees; and (v) non-recurring listing expenses and other miscellaneous administrative expenses.

Administrative expenses increased by approximately 43.3% from approximately HK$26.8 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2015 to approximately HK$38.4 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2016, mainly due to the recognition of non-recurring listing expenses of approximately HK$11.1 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2016.

Profit/loss and total comprehensive income/loss attributable to owners of the Company

Profit and total comprehensive income decreased by approximately 168.5% from approximately HK$18.4 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2015 to loss and total comprehensive loss of approximately HK$12.6 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2016, mainly due to (i) the decrease in gross profit of approximately HK$22.3 million because of the decrease in revenue and increase in cost of sales for reasons as discussed in the paragraphs headed “Revenue” and “Cost of sales and gross profit” above; and (ii) the increase in administrative expenses of approximately HK$11.6 million during the nine months ended 31 December 2016 for reasons mentioned in the paragraph headed “Administrative expenses” above.

The loss and total comprehensive loss would be approximately HK$1.5 million after excluding the non-recurring listing expenses of approximately HK$11.1 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2016.

FUTURE PROSPECTS

The Shares have been successfully listed on GEM of the Stock Exchange on the Listing Date by way of the Share Offer. The Board considers that such public listing status on the Stock Exchange will help promote the Group to potential customers and enhance its corporate profile and credibility with the public and business partners. This in turn will strengthen the Group’s competitiveness and benefit its business performance and growth.

Going forward, with the Group’s long-established brand name, well-maintained business relationship with suppliers, ability to respond to adversities, and healthy net assets position, the Group will continue to execute its business strategy to expand both revenue streams and customer base by introducing new itineraries and activities from time to time in order to offer new travel experience to its customers, promoting its brand awareness through marketing campaigns, digital marketing and other conventional offline media advertisements, and strengthening and enhancing its sales channels including the enhancement of its online sales platform.

Use of proceeds from the Listing

The net proceeds received by the Company from the Share Offer was approximately HK$57.1 million, after deducting underwriting commissions and all related expenses.

Since the Listing Date is after 31 December 2016, the net proceeds from the Share Offer had not been received by the Company as at 31 December 2016. The net proceeds, upon receipt by the Company after listing, has been deposited at a bank and will be applied in the manners consistent with the use of proceeds as disclosed in the section headed “Future Plans and Use of Proceeds” of the Prospectus.
