CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

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 and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

The principal means of information dissemination on GEM is publication on the internet website operated by the Stock Exchange. Listed companies are not generally required to issue paid announcements in gazetted newspapers. Accordingly, prospective investors should note that they need to have access to the website of the Stock Exchange at www.hkexnews.hk in order to obtain up-to-date information on companies listed on GEM.

Notes:

  • (1) Our revenues from sales of FIT products and ancillary travel related products and services are recognised on net basis as we render our services as an agent.

  • (2) For the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016, the gross profit margin (excluding unallocated costs of approximately HK$801,000 and HK$782,000 respectively) of (i) package tours bound for Japan was approximately 15.4% and 18.0% respectively; and (ii) package tours bound for other destinations was approximately 9.8% and 11.5% respectively. For the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016, the gross profit margin (excluding unallocated costs of approximately HK$187,000 and HK$142,000 respectively) of (i) package tours bound for Japan was approximately 20.7% and 11.0% respectively; and (ii) package tours bound for other destinations was approximately 16.6% and 11.2% respectively.

According to the CH Report, we were the second largest travel agent in Hong Kong in terms of number of travellers for package tours bound for Japan in 2015, and ranked eighth with approximately 2.6% market share in terms of number of travellers for outbound package tours amongst the travel agents in Hong Kong which provided outbound package tours in 2015.

Our success and commitment to high quality products and professional services has earned us numerous awards including top agents awards by Cathay Pacific Airways for 15 consecutive years from 2001. For details of the awards, please refer to “Business — Awards”.

Leveraged on our experience and success, we strive to deliver the best travel experience and customer satisfaction and become the favourite travel agent in Hong Kong.

Expected loss-making for the year ending 31 March 2017

Prospective investors should note that for the three months ended 30 June 2016, we recorded a net loss of approximately HK$7.9 million as compared to an unaudited net profit of approximately HK$11.0 million for the corresponding period in 2015, and that we expect the financial results of our Group will drop significantly and will record a net loss for the year ending 31 March 2017 as compared to a net profit of approximately HK$23.3 million for the year ended 31 March 2016. For details of the factors which affected and are expected to have adverse effect on our financial results for the three months ended 30 June 2016 and year ending 31 March 2017, please refer to “— Recent developments and material adverse change”. If such factors continue to adversely affect our business operations and our counteractive measures cannot effectively alleviate the adverse impact brought by such factors, the net loss of our Group for the year ending 31 March 2017 will increase further.

Notes:

(1) Southeast Asian countries during the Track Record Period included Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, Vietnam and Cambodia.

(2) Other countries during the Track Record Period included Dubai and Australia.

We usually plan our package tours semi-annually taking into account the availability of flight seats. For Japan bound tours (except Okinawa), we make bookings for other travel elements such as hotel accommodation, tour buses and meals directly or through our reservation agent in Japan. For our package tours bound for Okinawa and other non-Japan destinations, we engage land operators to arrange for the local travel elements.

We sell our products and services through a number of channels including our four branches in Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui, Mongkok and Shatin under the tradename “ ” since 1988, online sales platform at our website and online sales platforms operated by online group buying intermediaries. We also sell tailor made tours to customers through our MICE tour department. In addition, we sell our travel products to other travel agents in Hong Kong and Macau.

SUMMARY

PRICING

We generally determine the selling price of our travel products, including package tours, FIT products and ancillary travel related products and services, on a cost-plus basis. For package tours, we determine the selling price based on the cost of travel elements and also take into consideration other factors, such as market demand, historical prices of our products, price of similar products offered by our competitors, tour enrolment situation, and for Japan bound tours (except Okinawa), the exchange rate of Japanese Yen. We review the price of our package tours on a regular basis.

CUSTOMERS

Our customers are mainly retail customers who purchase our package tour products, FIT products and ancillary travel related products and services. In addition, we also sell our travel products to other travel agents in Hong Kong and Macau. For the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016, approximately 97.0%, 97.7%, 97.0% and 96.6% of our revenue from the sales of package tours were derived from retail customers respectively. We do not rely on any major customers. Sales invoice amount with our five largest customers, which are mainly MICE tour customers and other travel agents, accounted for approximately 1.3%, 2.6% and 2.4% of our total sales invoice amount for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016 respectively.

SUPPLIERS

Our suppliers mainly include airlines, land operators, tour bus operators and other local transportation operators, hotel operators, travel agents, restaurants and attraction operators. Purchases from our five largest suppliers accounted for approximately 54.4%, 54.0% and 43.5% of our total purchases for the Track Record Period respectively.

Our largest supplier in each of the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016 was an airline group based in Hong Kong from which we sourced air tickets for our business operations. Purchases from our largest supplier accounted for approximately 42.5%, 40.1% and 31.2% of our total purchases for the Track Record Period respectively. For the risk associated with our reliance on our largest supplier, please refer to “Risk Factors”.

JCS, one of our five largest suppliers during the Track Record Period, is a connected person of our Company. JCS is a tour bus operator in Japan from which we procured the supply of tour bus service for our tour operations in Japan.

Please refer to “Financial Information — Sensitivity and breakeven analyses” for the sensitivity and breakeven analyses of the impact of hypothetical changes in the exchange rate of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars on our profit for each financial year/period during the Track Record Period.

We have developed foreign exchange risk management procedures to manage our exposure to foreign exchange risk in relation to Japanese Yen. For details, please refer to “Business — Internal control and risk management — Foreign exchange risk control”.

COMPETITION LANDSCAPE AND COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS

We operate in the travel service industry in Hong Kong. According to the CH Report, there were 1,756 licensed travel agents in Hong Kong as at the Latest Practicable Date, 560 of which engage in the wholesale and/or operation of package tours. The ten largest licensed travel agents engaging in the wholesale and/or operation of package tours in Hong Kong accounted for over 75% market share in terms of number of Hong Kong travellers who joined package tours in 2015. As our major business is the provision of outbound package tours, we mainly compete with other licensed travel agents in Hong Kong which offer outbound package tours to their customers. However, we also face competition from airlines and other travel agents in and outside Hong Kong, which offer similar products and services directly to customers or over the Internet.

According to CH, the top ten players in the package tour market in Hong Kong, including our Group, which represent a majority of the market share, offer a wide range of types of package tours covering high-end and low-end package tours to cater for the preference of different customers. The price range of our Group’s package tours bound for Japan was approximately HK$4,000 to approximately HK$63,000 per person and package tours bound for other destination was approximately HK$700 to approximately HK$42,000 per person during the Track Record Period.

Our Directors believe that our competitive strengths set out below will enable our Group to maintain its competitive position in the market: (i) established market presence and well-known

– 5 –

SUMMARY

brand name in Hong Kong; (ii) commitment to provide quality products and services which meet customers’ needs; (iii) diversified product range which offers different travel experience to our customers; (iv) established good business relationship with airlines and other suppliers; and (v) experienced management team.

STRATEGIES

We aim to deliver the best travel experience and customer satisfaction and become the favourite travel agent in Hong Kong by implementing the following strategies: (i) enhancing our brand recognition and awareness; (ii) strengthening our customer relationship management efforts to increase customer loyalty; (iii) developing and improving products and services; (iv) strengthening our sales network; (v) improving our information system to improve operational efficiency; and (vi) expanding our staff team.

RISK FACTORS

There are certain risks involved in our business operations and in connection with the Share Offer, many of which are beyond our control. Any of the factors set out in “Risk Factors” may limit our ability to execute our business strategies and implementation plans successfully. The risks faced by us can be broadly categorised into: (i) risks relating to our business; (ii) risks relating to our industry; and (iii) risks relating to the Shares and the Share Offer. Some of the major risks that could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operation are as follows:

  • ‰ We experienced fluctuation in gross profit and gross profit margin for our sales of package tours and overall financial results during the Track Record Period.

  • ‰ Natural disasters, acts or threats of terrorism, wars, travel-related accidents, outbreak of contagious or infectious diseases or other catastrophic events, political instability and issuance of any outbound travel alert may significantly and adversely impact on our business and operating results.

  • ‰ Our Group’s continuing success depends on our reputation and brand recognition and any damage to our brand could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

  • ‰ We generated a material portion of our revenue from the sales of tours bound for Japan and any decrease in the demand for Japan bound tours may materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

  • ‰ We are exposed to foreign exchange risk particularly in relation to Japanese Yen which would impact on our Group’s operating performance as well as our financial position.

  • ‰ We recorded foreign exchange losses from the forward exchange contracts entered into by us during the Track Record Period.

You should read the entire “Risk Factors” carefully before deciding to invest in the Offer Shares.

LISTING EXPENSES

Our Directors are of the view that the financial results of our Group for the year ending 31 March 2017 are expected to be adversely affected by the Listing expenses in relation to the Share Offer, the nature of which is non-recurring. The total Listing fees in relation to the Share Offer, primarily consisting of fees paid or payable to professional parties and underwriting fees and commission, are estimated to be approximately HK$21.6 million (based on the mid-point of

– 8 –

SUMMARY

the indicative Offer Price range of HK$0.6 per Share and 100,000,000 Offer Shares). Among the estimated total Listing fees, (i) approximately HK$6.5 million is expected to be accounted for as a deduction from equity upon Listing; and (ii) approximately HK$15.1 million is expected to be recognised as expenses in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of which approximately HK$1.2 million had been recognised for the year ended 31 March 2016, approximately HK$5.7 million had been recognised for the three months ended 30 June 2016 and the remaining approximately HK$8.2 million is expected to be recognised for the nine months ending 31 March 2017.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Our Directors believe that the Listing will enhance our Group’s corporate image and reputation as well as further strengthen our market position in the travel industry in Hong Kong. We estimate that the net proceeds from the Share Offer (after deducting underwriting commissions and estimated expenses payable by us in connection with the Share Offer), assuming an Offer Price of HK$0.60 per Share (being the mid-point of the indicative Offer Price range), will be approximately HK$38.4 million. We currently intend to apply the net proceeds in the following manner:

  • ‰ approximately 44.5%, or HK$17.1 million, to be used to promote our brand recognition and awareness;

  • ‰ approximately 24.9%, or HK$9.6 million, to be used to strengthen and enhance our sales channels;

  • ‰ approximately 20.6%, or HK$7.9 million, to be used to improve our operational efficiency; and

  • ‰ approximately 10.0%, or HK$3.8 million, to be used for our general corporate and working capital purposes.

Please refer to “Future Plans and Use of Proceeds” for further details of our use of proceeds and the implementation plans of our business strategies, as well as the reasons for the Listing and the Share Offer.

DIVIDEND

The declaration of future dividends will be subject to our Directors’ decision and will depend on factors such as our earnings, financial condition, cash requirements and availability, and any

– 9 –

SUMMARY

other factors our Directors may consider relevant. Currently, we do not have any dividend policy, nor do we have any predetermined dividend distribution ratio.

During the year ended 31 March 2015, dividends of approximately HK$7.9 million and HK$2.0 million were declared and paid by Worldwide Package and PTHK to their then shareholders respectively. Save for the aforesaid, our Group did not declare and/or paid any other dividend during the Track Record Period.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

Based on the audited results for the three months ended 30 June 2016 and the unaudited financial information for the five months ended 30 November 2016 of our Group, we expect the financial results of our Group will drop significantly for the year ending 31 March 2017 as compared to that for the year ended 31 March 2016.

Our revenue for the year ending 31 March 2017 is expected to decrease significantly due to (a) the negative impact of the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake occurred in April 2016; (b) the decrease in demand of customers who are cost conscious for our package tours bound for Japan due to the continued appreciation of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars together with the intense competition within the industry; and (c) the downward adjustment of the selling price of our package tours in view of the fierce industry competition. Apart from the estimated decrease in revenue, our gross profit margin for the year ending 31 March 2017 is expected to be adversely affected by the increase in our cost of sales mainly due to (i) the continuous strong exchange rate of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars which boosts up our land costs that are settled in Japanese Yen; and (ii) the increase in the hotel room rates in Japan.

As a result of the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake, package tours of our Group bound for Kyushu between 15 April 2016 to 27 June 2016 were completely suspended. The decrease in invoiced sales amount of Kyushu tours contributed to approximately 26.3% of the decrease in invoiced sales amount of tours bound for Japan of our Group during the three months ended 30 June 2016.

The appreciation of Japanese Yen impacts both the demand (i.e. demand from cost conscious customers will decrease) and cost (i.e. land costs denominated in Japanese Yen will increase) side of our Group’s business, which will lead to the shrinking of our gross margin. While the travel industry in Hong Kong has always been competitive, its impact on our Group’s financial performance is increased when the Japanese Yen is appreciating because people may defer their travel plans, choose other travel destinations beside Japan or search for more bargain offers. Hence, the industry players generally will cut prices in order to promote demand and compete for customers. Further, during the period of appreciating Japanese Yen, some of our Group’s customers who are more cost conscious may choose to travel by purchasing FIT products through online agencies and booking platforms of airlines and hotels which have generally been very aggressive in pricing. These factors decrease demand for our package tours and intensify market competition. This also explains why despite online travel booking has been expanding for years and industry competition has always been increasing, their impact on our Group’s financial performance is more prominent in the three months ended 30 June 2016 than in the two years ended 31 March 2016.

– 10 –

SUMMARY

The gross margin of package tours bound for Japan (excluding Kyushu) of our Group for the three months ended 30 June 2016 was approximately 11.1%. For illustrative purpose, assuming that the Japanese Yen exchange rate had remained at the average rate of the two years ended 31 March 2016, the gross margin of package tours bound for Japan (excluding Kyushu) of our Group for the three months ended 30 June 2016 would have improved to approximately 13.0%. Further, for illustrative purpose, assuming the exchange rate of Japanese Yen had remained at the average rate of the two years ended 31 March 2016, our Group would have recorded a net profit (excluding Listing expenses) of approximately HK$1.1 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016. This means that even if we assume all the decrease in revenue during the three months ended 30 June 2016 (including the decrease in revenue caused by the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake) was entirely caused by market competition, our Group would still have recorded a net profit without the impact of the appreciation of Japanese Yen. Therefore, our Directors consider the appreciation of Japanese Yen to be the most significant factor affecting the financial performance of our Group for the three months ended 30 June 2016 and the year ending 31 March 2017.

Our selling expenses are expected to increase for the year ending 31 March 2017, which is mainly due to our plan to increase spending on marketing activities to promote our brand recognition and awareness. See “Business — Strategies” and “Future Plans and Use of Proceeds” for details. Our administrative expenses are also expected to increase for the year ending 31 March 2017 as a result of the recognition of the expected Listing expenses of approximately HK$13.9 million in our consolidation statement of comprehensive income for the year.

Based on the above factors which are expected to have material adverse effect on our financial results, we expect to record a net loss for the year ending 31 March 2017 as compared to a net profit for the year ended 31 March 2016.

Notwithstanding, our Directors are of the view that there is no fundamental deterioration in the commercial and operational viability of our business.

Save as disclosed above, our Directors confirm that, up to the date of this prospectus, there had been no material adverse change in our financial or trading position or prospect since 30 June 2016, being the date to which our latest audited financial information was prepared and there had been no event since 30 June 2016 which would materially affect the information shown in the Accountant’s Report.

SUSTAINABILITY OF OUR BUSINESS

Notwithstanding that our Group’s results of operation and financial condition for the year ending 31 March 2017 are expected to be adversely impacted by certain factors as mentioned in “— Recent developments and material adverse change”, our Directors believe that our business is sustainable based on (i) our long established track record, our brand awareness and our wellmaintained business relationship with suppliers; (ii) continuous growth of market size and market opportunities; (iii) our ability to respond to adversities; (iv) our strong and healthy financial position; and (v) our counteractive measures against adverse conditions.

For details of the reasons supporting our Directors’ beliefs on the sustainability of our business, please refer to “Business — Sustainability of our business”.

1. RISKS RELATING TO OUR GROUP’S BUSINESS

  • 1.1 We experienced fluctuation in gross profit and gross profit margin for our sales of package tours and overall financial results during the Track Record Period

We experienced fluctuation in gross profit and gross profit margin from the sales of package tours and overall financial results during the Track Record Period. Our gross profit generated from the sales of package tours were approximately HK$63.2 million and HK$74.5 million for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 respectively, representing a gross profit margin of approximately 14.0% and 16.8% for the corresponding years. However, our Group recorded gross profit of approximately HK$8.7 million and gross profit margin of approximately 10.9% from the sales of package tours for the three months ended 30 June 2016 as compared to that of approximately HK$23.2 million and 20.0% for the three months ended 30 June 2015, respectively. We recorded net profits of approximately HK$16.3 million and HK$23.3 million for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016, respectively. For the three months ended 30 June 2016, we recorded a net loss of approximately HK$7.9 million as compared to an unaudited net profit of approximately HK$11.0 million for the corresponding period in 2015, mainly due to the reasons as stipulated in “Summary — Recent developments and material adverse change”.

Our gross profit, gross profit margin and net profit will continue to be affected by various factors, including the fluctuation of exchange rate of Japanese Yen, industry competition and other risks described in this prospectus. There can be no assurance that we could achieve any growth in gross profit, gross profit margin or overall financial results in the future.

  • 1.2 Natural disasters, acts or threats of terrorism, wars, travel-related accidents, outbreak of contagious or infectious diseases or other catastrophic events, political instability and issuance of any outbound travel alert may significantly and adversely impact on our business and operating results

Our operation is vulnerable to interruption and damage from natural disasters including snowstorms, typhoons, tornado, volcanic eruption, earthquakes, fire, floods and similar events. Occurrence of natural disasters may reduce customers’ sentiment to travel to those affected regions or countries as customers would generally perceive as a risk that endanger their safety if to travel to the affected destinations. For the same reason, occurrence of wars, and acts or threats of terrorism could reduce customers’ demand in travelling to those affected regions or countries, which may adversely impact our business and operating results. As a result of, among others, the occurrence of the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake in April 2016, our revenue from package tours bound for Japan for the three months ended 30 June 2016 experienced a notable decrease of approximately 29.8% as compared with the corresponding period in 2015.

– 25 –

RISK FACTORS

In addition, the outbreak or general apprehension of outbreak of any contagious or infectious disease, such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, Ebola virus disease, H1N1 influenza and H7N9 influenza, may reduce customers’ travelling demand to the affected region or country, particularly if the outbreak cannot be controlled. For instance, affected by the outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome in South Korea in May 2015, our revenue from package tours bound for South Korea dropped by approximately 49.6% for the year ended 31 March 2016 as compared to the year ended 31 March 2015.

Our business and results of operation may also be adversely and materially affected if there is any material adverse change in the political and social situation in the destinations for which our tours are bound. In addition, the issuance of any outbound travel alert by the government of Hong Kong may defer customers from travelling to the affected destination. Such political instability and issuance of outbound travel alert may significantly affect customers’ demand for travelling to these destinations and adversely affect the tour operations in the affected destinations and have material impact on our business and results of operation.

  • 1.3 Our Group’s continuing success depends on our reputation and brand recognition and any damage to our brand could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results

According to the CH Report, the reputation of a travel agent is one of the major consideration for customers in their choice of travel agents. We believe our success in the past was largely dependent on our reputation and established brand built over the last 37 years of business. However, our reputation and brand may be damaged by various factors including adverse publicity, customers’ complaints over our products and services, misconduct or negligence committed by our employees or service providers and accidents during the tours giving rise to injuries to our customers. Any damage to our reputation and brand image will have serious adverse impact on our business, results of operation and prospect.

Our quality control system will not completely eliminate the risk of substandard quality or safety issues relating to our products and services. If our customers are dissatisfied with our products or services or if incidents attracting adverse publicity arise, it may damage our reputation and brand image, which in turn will adversely affect our business, and results of operation and prospect.

  • 1.4 We generated a material portion of our revenue from the sales of tours bound for Japan and any decrease in the demand for Japan bound tours may materially and adversely affect our business and operating results

During the Track Record Period, approximately 78.1%, 84.4% and 86.5% of our revenue from sales of package tours were derived from the sales of package tours bound for Japan. Demand for Japan bound tours may be adversely affected by the happening of natural or other disasters, changes in Japan’s political, economical or social environment, changes in the preference of the customers in Hong Kong or the exchange rate of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars. If the demand for our Japan bound tours decreases and we are unable to increase our sales of package tours bound for other destinations to compensate for the decrease in demand for Japan bound tours, our business and results of operation may be adversely affected.

– 26 –

RISK FACTORS

1.5 We are exposed to foreign exchange risk particularly in relation to Japanese Yen which would impact on our Group’s operating performance as well as our financial position

During the Track Record Period, we derived a majority of our revenue from the sales of travel products bound for Japan. Our receipts from customers are denominated in Hong Kong dollars while the settlement of substantial portion of our land costs, such as hotel tariffs, transportation costs, meal expenses and admission ticket costs are denominated in Japanese Yen. The difference in the exchange rates at which the payables are recorded and finally settled may give rise to transactional foreign currency exchange gain or loss. Moreover, certain of our financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, deposits and other receivables, trade payables and amounts due to related companies, are denominated in Japanese Yen and are therefore subject to translation difference at year-end exchange rates. Accordingly, we are exposed to foreign currency risk mainly aroused from transactions, assets and liabilities denominated in Japanese Yen. If there is significant fluctuation in the exchange rate of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars, being the functional and presentation currency in our combined financial statements, we could experience material fluctuation in our land costs and incur material exchange differences in our combined statements of comprehensive income, which could in turn materially and adversely affect our financial conditions and results of operation.

1.6 We recorded foreign exchange losses from the forward exchange contracts entered into by us during the Track Record Period

During the Track Record Period, our Group entered into forward exchange contracts as part of our Group’s policy on foreign exchange risk control to manage our foreign exchange rate exposures in relation to the settlement of land costs denominated in Japanese Yen. We recorded fair value loss of approximately HK$1.9 million for the year ended 31 March 2015 and minimal fair value gains of approximately HK$20,000 and HK$18,000 for the year ended 31 March 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016 respectively from the forward exchange contracts entered into by us. For details of the forward exchange contracts entered into by us during the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016, please refer to “Financial Information — Description and analysis of principal items in the combined statements of financial position — Derivative financial assets and liabilities”. Any unfavourable fluctuations in foreign currency rate will lead to foreign exchange losses on the forward exchange contracts that we enter into from time to time, which will adversely affect our results of operation and financial position.

1.7 Our Group derives material portion of our revenue from customers in Hong Kong and any downturn in the Hong Kong economy could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results

Our Group’s business is largely dependent on the outbound travel decisions and preferences of the customers in Hong Kong which in turn are affected by changes in the economic condition in Hong Kong. There may be uncertainties relating to the economic condition in Hong Kong in the future and any prolonged downturn in the Hong Kong economy in the future may bring material adverse effect on the travelling demand which may in turn lead to decline in demand for our products and services and hence adversely impact on our business, results of operation and prospect.

– 27 –

RISK FACTORS

  • 1.8 Failure to anticipate and respond in a timely manner to rapid changes in consumer preferences and spending habits and decrease in demand for package tours may cause our sales to decline and our business and results of operation may be materially and adversely affected

The sales of our Group’s products and services depends on a variety of factors, one of which is that our Group is able to accurately anticipate changes in consumer preference and spending habits. It is uncertain as to whether our Group will continue to be successful in identifying the trends in consumer preference and spending habits. Failure to adapt our products and services to respond to such changes in a timely manner may result in decrease in the sales and thus our financial condition and results of operation may be materially and adversely affected.

The growth of internet use has made it easier for consumers to conduct research for and plan their own holiday trip, leading to the growth in the FIT travel sector. According to the CH Report, the total revenue of outbound package tours in Hong Kong increased from approximately HK$5.8 billion in 2011 to approximately HK$7.2 billion in 2015 at a CAGR of approximately 5.6% whereas the revenue of FIT products in Hong Kong increased from approximately HK$2.0 billion in 2011 to approximately HK$5.6 billion in 2015 at a CAGR of approximately 29.7%. The increase in the demand of FIT products may set back the demand for package tours. Since a substantial portion of our revenue were derived from the sales of package tours, if the demand for package tours decreases, it may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

1.9 Package tours may be subject to cancellation due to various reasons which may result in complaints from customers and adverse impact on our business and operating results

Our package tours may be cancelled for various reasons, such as the outbreak of contagious or infectious disease at the destination region and occurrence of terrorist attack or travel-related accidents or other similar events that endanger the safety relating to the tour destinations. We may also cancel our tours due to insufficient tour participants. Our Group is entitled to cancel the tour in such circumstances provided that the full amount of the deposit or the payment is refunded to the customers with compensation made in accordance with the relevant TIC directives in relation to refund arrangement. During the Track Record Period, we incurred compensation to customers in such regards of approximately HK$0.3 million, HK$0.2 million and HK$65,000 respectively. In the event of such circumstance leading to cancellation of tour before departure date, even if our Group has followed and complied with all applicable directives in making such refund and compensation to customers, customers may still be dissatisfied with the arrangement and may lodge complaints to our Group, TIC or the media. If our Group fails to properly deal with those complaints, whether meritorious or not, it may lead to negative publicity and may damage our reputation and brand image. Our Group’s profitability could be adversely affected as a result of any damage on the corporate brand name, which could further adversely affect our business and results of operation.

1.10 We may not be able to resolve customers’ complaints which may materially affect our business and results of operation

During the Track Record Period, we received a total of 288 cases of complaints either directly from customers or via TIC. These complaints were generally with regards to itinerary or

– 28 –

RISK FACTORS

pricing of package tours, services of tour escorts or staff, tour arrangements, quality or arrangements of ancillary travel related products or services, and other matters unrelated to our products or services. 221 cases of these complaints were resolved amicably with our letter of apology or explanation without any monetary payment, 63 cases were resolved involving monetary settlement, and four cases were still pending as at the Latest Practicable Date. We have to divert the time of our management and other resources in order to deal with customer complaints, which may adversely affect our business.

If we are unable to resolve customer complaints in an amicable manner, such complaints may develop into adverse publicity which may damage our reputation and brand image, thereby adversely affecting our business, results of operation and prospect.

1.11 Any increase in the costs of travel elements could adversely affect our Group’s business, turnover and profitability

Our Group’s key suppliers include airlines, hotels, land transportation and land operators. Costs of them together accounted for an aggregate of approximately 93.2%, 93.2%, 92.6% and 92.2% of our Group’s cost of sales for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016 respectively. The costs of the travel elements is the most important factor in determining the selling prices of our products and services. Increases in costs may reduce our profit if we are unable to adjust the prices of our products and services correspondingly. Our Group cannot predict whether the prices of travel elements would abruptly increase. If the costs for the travel elements increase and we are unable to pass on such increases to the customers in a timely manner, it may materially and adversely affect our business and financial results. On the other hand, if our Group does seek to pass such costs to the customers, this may reduce the price competitiveness of and, hence, customer demand for, our products and services.

1.12 Over 30% of our total purchases were made with our largest supplier during the Track Record Period and termination or interruption of our business relationship with our largest supplier may adversely affect our business and results of operation

Purchases from our largest supplier from which we sourced air tickets for our business operation accounted for approximately 42.5%, 40.1% and 31.2% of our total purchases for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016 respectively. We intend to continue our business relationship with our largest supplier as our major airline supplier. If our business relationship with our largest supplier is terminated or disrupted and we are unable to obtain adequate supply of air tickets from other airlines necessary for our operation, our business and results of operation may be adversely affected.

1.13 Our business is subject to seasonality factors

The travel industry business is inherently seasonal. Demand for our products will generally increase during holiday periods such as Chinese New Year, Easter, schools summer holiday in July and August, and Christmas. Moreover, demand for our Japan bound tours will generally increase in October due to the “Autumn leaves” season in Japan. Further, the prices of our products and thus our revenue are generally higher in peak seasons than low seasons. As such, our operating results are subject to fluctuations due to seasonal factors from time to time.

RISK FACTORS

1.14 Our Group’s continuing success depends on our ability to retain our senior management and key personnel

We rely on the experience, expertise, business insight and leading skills of the senior management and key personnel who are responsible for our Group’s overall business development and strategic planning as well as the operation and management in general. Our Group’s continuing success depends on our ability to retain our senior management and key personnel. However, competition in the travel industry for experienced and appropriate personnel is intense as it is difficult to recruit a person with relevant professional skills and experience in the travel industry. If one or more of the senior management or key personnel is or are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to replace them promptly or at all in the future and hence our business and results of operation may be adversely affected.

1.15 Our Group engages third-party land operators to provide services for some of our tours and any unsatisfactory performance or misconduct of the relevant land operators may adversely affect our reputation and business

Our Group engages third-party land operators for package tours bound for Okinawa and destinations other than Japan to provide tour guiding service to our customers and the tour operation will be handled by the land operators with agreed arrangements for hotels, meals, local transportation and activities. As they are third-party land operators, their conduct and the performance and quality of their service are not subject to our Group’s direct management or immediate control. Since the service standard of the land operators engaged by us will directly affect the quality of the tours and the satisfaction level of the customers, in the event that the customers receive unsatisfactory services or arrangement from the third-party land operators, customers may lodge complaints to our Group, TIC or the media. Therefore, any unsatisfactory performance or misconduct of relevant land operators may adversely affect our reputation and business. In addition, if our Group fails to properly deal with those complaints, whether meritorious or not, it may lead to negative publicity and may damage our reputation and brand image. Our Group’s profitability may be adversely affected as a result of any damage on the corporate brand name, which could further adversely affect our business and results of operation.

1.16 Any disruption to the supply of flights and other travel elements may significantly and adversely affect our business and results of operation

The smoothness of our Group’s operation relies on the availability and punctuality of flights. In turn, the ability of airlines to offer flights and their punctuality are dependent on the daily operations of their cabin crew and/or air crew. Any prolonged strikes of cabin crew and/or air crew and the consequential flight delay or cancellation may affect adversely on our Group’s operation and business. In addition, such significant delay or cancellation of flight may affect the tour’s schedule.

Our business operation is also dependent on the availability of other travel elements such as hotel accommodation, local transportation and the services of land operators. The continuous provisions of products and services by our suppliers may not be guaranteed due to reasons such as termination of business relationship with us, or cessation of business operations of our suppliers. If any of our major suppliers such as hotel operators or land operators is unable or unwilling to

– 30 –

RISK FACTORS

provide us with the relevant products or services and we are unable to obtain such products and services from alternative suppliers at comparative costs, our tour operation and tour schedule will be adversely affected.

Customers may raise complaints on the consequential disruption to their travel plans. If our Group fails to properly deal with those complaints, it may lead to negative publicity and may damage our reputation and brand image. Our Group’s profitability may be adversely affected as a result of any damage on our brand name, which could further adversely affect our Group’s business and results of operation.

1.17 The deposit paid to airlines may not be refundable if our Group fails to utilise all the seats reserved by our Group for charter flights, ad-hoc seats or block reservation

Some of our airline suppliers require us to pay deposit for block reservation. We are also required to pay full amount for ad-hoc seats and charter flight seats reserved. In the event that our Group is unable to fully utilise all the seats reserved, the airlines may not refund the full amount paid by our Group. There can be no assurance that we will be able to limit or reduce such forfeiture, and any material increase in forfeiture may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operation.

1.18 Any fraud or misconduct committed by our employees, customers or other third parties may have material adverse effect on our reputation, business and results of operation

Our business operations may involve cash transactions, the amount of which may be substantial. Our branch staff handle cash received from sales of our products and services. Cash advances are prepaid to our tour escorts for Japan bound tours (except Okinawa) prior to departure for paying for accommodation, food and beverage and other tour related costs during the tour. We are therefore exposed to the risk of fraud, theft or corruption by our employees, our tour escorts, our customers or other third parties. We may suffer financial losses and damage to our reputation if such misconduct is practiced on us. If we are unable to deter or prevent such misconduct, our business and results of operation as well as our reputation may be adversely affected.

1.19 We may not be able to protect our trademarks and intellectual property rights

As at the Latest Practicable Date, we were the registered owner of six trademarks in Hong Kong; and we have filed one trademark application in Hong Kong and six trademark applications in China. For details of our Group’s registered trademarks, please refer to “Statutory and General Information — B. Further information about our business — 2. Intellectual property of our Group” in Appendix IV to this prospectus.

Our Directors consider our success depends in part on the protection of our trademarks and intellectual property rights. Any infringement or unauthorised use of our trademarks or our brand name could harm our goodwill and business. There can be no assurance that we can prevent or deter infringement or other misappropriation of our intellectual property rights. We may not be able to detect any infringement or take appropriate steps to enforce our intellectual property rights. We may be required to institute legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual property rights which may be costly, unsuccessful, and divert the efforts of our management away from our business and thereby adversely affect our business, financial position and our results of operation.

– 31 –

RISK FACTORS

1.20 We may not be successful in the implementation of our future plans

We have formulated our future plans with the view to increase our market share and sustain business growth. Details of our future plans are set out in “Future Plans and Use of Proceeds”. The successful implementation of our future plans may be affected by various factors including changes in business environment, economic conditions, market demand and regulatory framework, and other contingencies which are beyond our control. Such uncertainties and contingencies may lead to the postponement of our future plans or may increase the costs of implementation. There can be no assurance that our future plans will materialise.

1.21 Our Group’s insurance coverage may not adequately protect our Group against all our risks

We may be subject to third party claim for injury suffered in our business premises in which we operate our business. Any third party claim may have a material and adverse effect on our business and operating results as well as damage to our reputation. We may also be subject to claims for losses and damage and accidents arising in the course of our tour operations. There can be no assurance that the insurance policies maintained by us will be sufficient to cover all our risks in connection with our operations. Losses incurred which are not covered by our insurance policies may have material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operation.

1.22 We rely on third party service providers on information technology systems and services

We rely on computer and information technology system in our daily operations. It is essential to our business operations that our systems integrate with those of our suppliers and service providers. Our systems such as tour operating system and online sales platform were developed and maintained by third party information technology providers. If our systems become obsolete or our future system development ceases or fails to be compatible with the systems of our suppliers and service providers, our ability to offer our products and our service quality will be adversely affected. We also rely on external service provider for GDS, with which we make air tickets reservation with airlines for our FIT products. Any interruption of services by our GDS service provider could adversely affect our sales of FIT products. Furthermore, any unsatisfactory performance of our information technology providers may lead to an incompatible and outdated information technology system that are vulnerable to disruptions and attacks by computer viruses and hacking, which may seriously undermine our operations. In addition, if our arrangements with our information technology providers are terminated and we are unable to source alternative service providers, our business and results of operation may be adversely affected. Our Group also relies on information technology system to store certain personal information in the information system. If the information system is compromised, privacy information may be stolen and used inappropriately. Our Group may be subject to legal proceedings instituted by our customers and credit card companies as a result of the loss and inappropriate use of the personal information which may also cause reputation damage to our Group. All of these could seriously undermine our operation, service quality and customers’ perception of our brand.

RISK FACTORS

1.23 Historical dividend distributions are not indicative of our future dividend payment and we may not pay any dividend in the future

PTHK and Worldwide Package declared and distributed dividend of approximately HK$2.0 million and HK$7.9 million respectively during the Track Record Period. The declaration of future dividends will be subject to discretion of our Board and will depend on factors such as our earnings, financial condition, cash requirements and availability, and any other factors as our Directors may consider relevant. Therefore, historical dividend distribution should not be regarded as indication of our future dividend payment. No assurance can be given that we will declare any dividend or at all in the future.

2. RISKS RELATING TO THE INDUSTRY

2.1 Increased market competition may have a material adverse effect on our Group’s business, financial condition and results of operation

According to the CH Report, there were 1,756 licensed travel agents in Hong Kong as at the Latest Practicable Date, 560 of which engage in the wholesale and/or operation of package tours. The ten largest licensed travel agents engaging in the wholesale and/or operation of package tours in Hong Kong accounted for over 75% market share in terms of number of Hong Kong travellers who joined package tours in 2015. Some of our competitors may possess stronger brand recognition, higher sales volume, larger consumer bases, or greater financial, marketing and/or other resources than us. Moreover, with increased popularity of Internet use, apart from facing competition from other travel agents which provide online sales platforms, we also face intense competition from online agencies and booking platforms of airlines and hotels which have aggressive marketing campaigns and promotion programmes from time to time. According to the CH Report, online agencies and booking platforms provide greater convenience and flexibility for flight and hotel booking and are increasingly popular among individual travellers who pursue economic flight and accommodation offers. The increasing use of Internet for travel booking and the rapid emergence of online booking platforms pose threat to and intensify competition within the travel service industry.

Increased competition could result in price reductions, increased marketing expenditures and loss of market share, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operation and financial condition. There can be no assurance that we will be able to address these challenges and compete successfully against current and future competitors and that competitive pressure may have a material adverse effect on our business, growth prospects, financial condition and results of operation.

2.2 Our business may be adversely affected if our Group is unable to renew the prerequisite travel agency licences or such licences are revoked or suspended

Under the TAO, any person carrying on business as a travel agent is required to obtain a licence under the TAR. The licensing requirements include membership of TIC and a prohibition of carrying on business as a travel agent at a place other than that specified in that licence. Travel agents are required to abide by the TIC’s codes of conduct and directives and are regulated by TIC. As of the Latest Practicable Date, our Group has the necessary licences from the RTA and has satisfied all criteria for licensing, including membership of TIC.

– 33 –

RISK FACTORS

In general, the RTA shall grant a licence by directing an approved organisation to accept the applicant who is a fit and proper person to carry on business as a travel agent in accordance with section 11 of the TAO. Under section 12 of the TAO, the RTA may refuse to grant the licence if: the applicant is not a fit and proper person to carry on business as travel agent; any controller of such body corporate is not a fit and proper person to be associated with the business of a travel agent; any director or secretary or officer thereof in Hong Kong, is not a fit and proper person to be associated with the business of a travel agent; or the premises to which the application relates or the situation thereof are not suitable for the carrying on of the business of a travel agent. For details of the licensing requirements for travel agents in Hong Kong, please see “Laws and Regulations”.

In the event that we are unable to renew our travel agency licences in a timely manner or if our travel agency licences are revoked or suspended, our Group would not be able to operate as travel agent in Hong Kong which will have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operation and prospect.

2.3 Changes in any obligations arising from legislation, regulatory requirements and other standards of the travel industry to which our Group is subject may have material adverse effect on our business and results of operation

If the relevant authorities enact additional legislative and regulatory requirements (including rules, guidelines, codes of conduct and policies issued or adopted by governmental and regulatory authorities) or make changes or reformation to the existing laws or regulations that affect the tourism industry in Hong Kong and make the regulatory framework more onerous, we may be required to respond to any such changes and may need to change our business or operational practices and/or make changes on our products or services. This may require our Group to incur additional compliance costs. If the compliance costs increase and we are unable to pass on such increases to our customers in a timely manner, it may materially and adversely affect our Group’s business and results of operation. In addition, if our Group does seek to pass such costs to the customers, this may reduce the price competitiveness of and, hence, customer demand for, our products and services. Further, any non-compliance with the legislation and regulations may lead to sanctions or liabilities, as well as damage to our brand name. There can be no assurance that our Group will be able to comply with all the new and applicable legislation and regulations or new changes to the existing laws or regulations, and this may have a material adverse impact on our Group’s business, results of operation, financial condition or prospect.

2.4 Fluctuations in consumer spending caused by changes in global economic conditions may significantly affect our Group’s business, financial condition, results of operation and prospect

Our Group’s business is dependent on our customers’ travel decisions and preferences which could be affected by changes in global economic conditions. Global economic downturn may reduce the disposable income of our customers who will then reduce their spending on travel. As such, any changes in the global economic conditions in the future may affect our Group’s business, financial condition, results of operation and prospect.

RISK FACTORS

3. RISKS RELATING TO THE SHARES AND THE SHARE OFFER

  • 3.1 There has been no prior public market for the Shares and an active trading market for the Shares may not develop or be sustained

Prior to the Share Offer, no public market for the Shares existed. Following the completion of the Share Offer, the Stock Exchange will be the only market on which the Shares are publicly traded. We cannot assure you that an active trading market for the Shares will develop or be sustained after the Share Offer. In addition, we cannot assure you that the Shares will trade in the public market subsequent to the Share Offer at or above the Offer Price. The Offer Price for the Shares will be determined by agreement between the Sole Global Coordinator (for itself and on behalf of the Underwriters) and us, and may not be indicative of the market price of the Shares following the completion of the Share Offer. If an active trading market for the Shares does not develop or is not sustained after the Share Offer, the market price and liquidity of the Shares could be materially and adversely affected.

3.2 The trading price of the Shares may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to you

The trading price of the Shares may be volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to factors beyond our control, including the general market conditions of the securities markets in Hong Kong and elsewhere in the world. In particular, the trading price performance of other travel agents or players in the travel industry may affect the trading price of the Shares. In addition to market and industry factors, the price and trading volume of the Shares may be highly volatile for specific business reasons. In particular, factors such as variations in our total revenue, net income and cash flow could cause the market price of the Shares to change substantially. Any of these factors may result in large and sudden changes in the price and trading volume of the Shares.

  • 3.3 Since there will be a gap of several days between pricing and trading of Offer Shares, holders of Offer Shares are subject to the risk that the price of Offer Shares could be affected by adverse conditions and developments during the period, and fall below the Offer Price when trading of Offer Shares begins

The Offer Price of our Shares is expected to be determined on the Price Determination Date. However, our Shares will not commence trading on the Stock Exchange until they are delivered, which is expected to be a few business days after the pricing date. As a result, investors may not be able to sell or otherwise deal in our Shares during that period. Accordingly, holders of our Shares are subject to the risk that the price of our Shares could be affected by adverse market conditions or other adverse developments that could occur between the Price Determination Date and the time trading begins and fall below the Offer Price when trading begins.

3.4 The interests of the Controlling Shareholders may conflict with the best interests of our other Shareholders

Upon completion of the Share Offer, our Controlling Shareholders will in aggregate beneficially own 75% of our issued Shares. Subject to our Articles of Association and applicable laws and regulations, our Controlling Shareholders will continue to have the ability to exercise

– 35 –

RISK FACTORS

controlling influence on our management, policies and business by controlling the composition of our Board, determining the timing and amount of our dividend payments, approving significant corporate transactions, including mergers and acquisitions, approving our annual budgets and taking other actions that require our Shareholders’ approval, which may not be in the best interests of other Shareholders.

3.5 Facts and statistics in this prospectus relating to the industry in which we operate have not been independently verified

Some of the facts and statistics in this prospectus relating to the travel industry in which we operate, including those relating to the Hong Kong economy and travel industry, are derived from information published by Hong Kong governmental departments or agencies which our Directors believe are reliable. Our Directors believe that the sources of the information are appropriate and have taken reasonable care in extracting and reproducing such information. Our Directors have no reason to believe that such information is false or misleading in any material aspect or that any material fact has been omitted that would render such information false or misleading. The information has not been independently verified by our Group, the Sole Sponsor, the Sole Global Coordinator, the Sole Bookrunner, the Sole Lead Manager, any Underwriters, any other person or party involved in the Share Offer or any of our or their respective affiliates or advisers and no representation is given as to its accuracy or completeness. Due to the possibly flawed or ineffective sampling or discrepancies between published information and market practices or other reasons, such facts and statistics may be inaccurate or may not be comparable to official statistics. You should not place undue reliance on them.

3.6 Substantial future sales or the expectation of sales of Shares in the public market by our Controlling Shareholders could cause the price of our Shares to decline

Our Controlling Shareholders have voluntarily undertaken to the Sole Global Coordinator, the Sole Sponsor and our Company that any Shares held by them will be subject to lock-up for certain period after the Listing in addition to the requirement under the GEM Listing Rules, unless with the prior written consent of the Sole Global Coordinator (for details, please refer to “Underwriting — Underwriting arrangements and expenses — Public Offer — Public Offer Underwriting Agreement — Lock-up undertakings to the Public Offer Underwriters”). However, in the event that such voluntary lock-up undertaking is waived by the Sole Global Coordinator without recommendation of the independent committee of our Board which will comprise our independent non-executive Directors and the approval of the independent Shareholders in such regard, our Shares held by our Controlling Shareholders will be tradable in the market. Sales of substantial amount of Shares in the public market by our Controlling Shareholders or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Shares.

3.7 The laws of the Cayman Islands relating to the protection of the interests of minority shareholders may be different from those in Hong Kong

Our corporate affairs are governed by our Articles of Association, the Companies Law and common law of the Cayman Islands. A summary of Companies Law and our Company’s constitution is set out in Appendix III to this prospectus. The laws of the Cayman Islands relating to the protection of the interests of minority shareholders may be different in some respects from

RISK FACTORS

those established under statutes or judicial precedents in existence in Hong Kong. This may mean that the remedies available to our Company’s minority Shareholders may be different from those available under the laws of Hong Kong or other jurisdictions.

3.8 Prospective investors should read the entire prospectus carefully and are strongly cautioned against placing any reliance on the information in any press articles or other media coverage which contains information not being disclosed or which is inconsistent with the information included in this prospectus

You are strongly advised to read the entire prospectus carefully and are cautioned against placing any reliance on the information in any press articles or any other media coverage which contains information not disclosed or not consistent with the information included in this prospectus.

Prior to the completion of the Share Offer, there may be press and media coverage regarding our Group and the Share Offer.

High spending power of Hong Kong people

According to the CH Report, the international tourism expenditure of Hong Kong tourists was steadily increasing from 2012 to the first half of 2016 due to high spending power of Hong Kong tourists. It is expected that the spending power of Hong Kong people will keep increasing because Hong Kong economy is suffering relatively less from the uncertainty of global economy compared to other Western countries and Japan. Although the China economy growth in 2016 was slower compared to previous years, it is still the growth engine for the economy of the whole world. Hong Kong can benefit from the continuous growth of the China economy.

VALUE CHAIN ANALYSIS OF TRAVEL SERVICE INDUSTRY

Travel agents or travel intermediaries

Travel agents or travel intermediaries sell package tours, FIT products and ancillary products to travellers. In the package tours, travel elements such as flights, hotels, meals and transportations are bundled and offered together in an inclusive rate and the tour groups are generally accompanied by tour escorts during the tour. Package tour is a form of product bundling. Travel companies or travel intermediaries also sell FIT products and ancillary products for margin revenue as agents.

Airlines/cruises and hotel operators

Airlines and cruises provide transportation to the travel destination to the travellers. They mainly make profit by cooperating with travel agents or intermediaries. Because of the Internet, sometimes the airline companies could bypass all the intermediaries and approach clients directly. In this case, they are both suppliers and competitors for travel agents. Hotel operators provide accommodation to the travellers. The room rates for hotels with different star-ratings can vary a lot.

Travel services operators / land operators

Travel services operators and land operators act as intermediaries for travel agents. They usually have better knowledge about the local’s tourist spots and service providers. These operators make profit by helping travel services companies to source and arrange local accommodation, local transportation such as shuttle bus, ferry, train, tickets of theme parks and travel spots, and catering services.

Individual customers/retail customers/corporate customers

Customers have the desire of travelling around the world but they might need some help to plan their trips or implement their travel plans. They could book tour services from the travel agents as they could save their time and efforts for research and planning. Sometimes they would bypass the travel agents if the hotel or airline companies offer better prices.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

MARKET OVERVIEW OF TRAVEL SERVICE INDUSTRY IN HONG KONG

Revenue of package tours, FIT products and ancillary travel related products and services

According to the Census and Statistics Department of Hong Kong, expenditure on travel agency, reservation service and related activities accounted for approximately 0.3% of Hong Kong’s GDP in all years from 2011 to 2015. It is expected that the percentage remains the same after 2015. The total revenue of package tours in Hong Kong will grow along with Hong Kong GDP. The revenue of outbound package tours in Hong Kong increased from approximately HK$5.8 billion in 2011 to approximately HK$7.2 billion in 2015, representing a CAGR of approximately 5.6%. It is expected that the revenue of outbound package tours in Hong Kong will reach approximately HK$9.6 billion in 2020, representing a CAGR of approximately 6.1% from 2016 to 2020, which is in line with the projected GDP growth of Hong Kong during the same period. The reason for the increase in package tour revenue is that the demand on travelling from Hong Kong people is expected to increase because outbound travelling has become part of a lifestyle for many Hong Kong residents who are always on the lookout for relief from their stressful lifestyles. Also, the United States has entered an interest rate raising cycle, causing the U.S. dollars and Hong Kong dollars to become stronger and stronger. The rise in Hong Kong dollars will raise the outbound consumption ability of Hong Kong visitors.

It is expected that the total revenue of FIT products in the travel service industry in Hong Kong will keep increasing because tailor-made preferable trip itinerary imposes an impact to the travel service industry. Travellers can tailor make their favourite travelling itineraries by using FIT products.

Apart from package tours and FIT products, ancillary travel related products and services is another source of revenue for travel service industry. Ancillary products and services refer to all the additional things that travellers may need when going on holidays or taking business trips. A travel agent may offer travellers a wide range of ancillary services just so they could provide them the full package during travelling. Ancillary products and services includes admission tickets to attractions, local transportation, car rental, prepaid telephone and internet cards, travel insurance and travel visa application.

Number of outbound travellers from Hong Kong to different countries

KEY DRIVERS OF THE OUTBOUND TRAVEL SERVICE INDUSTRY IN HONG KONG

Correlation between private income and demand for travel

The number of Hong Kong outbound travellers grew rapidly from 2014 to 2015, which shared the same trend with the average monthly salaries in Hong Kong. According to the CH Report, private income and the demand for travel has a positive relationship that when the private income increases, people will be more willing to spend on travelling and thus the demand for travel will also increase.

Holiday pattern/seasonality

According to the CH Report, holidays such as Chinese New Year, Easter’s holiday, Christmas holiday are the peak seasons for travelling. Seasonality, such as March equinox, June Solstice and September equinox, will also be a great driver for people to travel to other areas. When the public holiday combines with weekend, it will motivate people to go travelling as people do not need to apply too many annual leaves for going on outbound travel.

New flight destinations and flight frequency

New flight routes established within five years or to be established soon in 2016 are mainly launched by low-cost carriers, including three airlines from Japan and two airlines from Hong Kong. It can be seen from the new routes that local tourism in Japan has been expanding to include less touched areas, such as Ishigaki, Matsuyama, Oita, Takamatsu, Amami and Miho. These new initiatives will attract travellers of Hong Kong to explore new destinations in Japan.

Trend of Hong Kong dollars versus JPY

According to the CH Report, the future trend of Hong Kong dollars versus JPY is relatively uncertain to predict. It is expected that JPY will fluctuate in short run because of the uncertainty of the global economy, the global political environment and the continuous quantitative easing from

the Bank of Japan so as to maintain the competitiveness of Japan. According to the CH Report, the forward rates of JPY against HK$ for three months to one year forward contract as reference to Bloomberg range from HK$0.0666:JPY1 to HK$0.06778:JPY1 as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The main revenue streams of the top ten players include selling of package tours, FIT products and ancillary travel related products and services. All of the top ten market players (other than Company H) offer internet booking of, among others, hotel accommodation, flights or restaurants. According to CH, the top ten players in the package tour market in Hong Kong, including our Group, which represent a majority of the market share, offer a wide range of types of package tours covering high-end and low-end package tours to cater for the preference of different customers. The price range of our Group’s package tours bound for Japan was approximately HK$4,000 to approximately HK$63,000 per person and package tours bound for other destination was approximately HK$700 to approximately HK$42,000 per person during the Track Record Period.

Entry barriers to the travel service industry

According to the CH Report, the main entry barriers to the travel service industry in Hong Kong include the following:

  • Licences and membership. To be a licensed travel agent in Hong Kong, a company must obtain a licence from the TAR and carry on business in accordance with the conditions imposed on the licence. A licence for travel agency is valid for a period of twelve months or a lesser period, subject to payment of the prescribed licence fee and continuous compliance with the requirements under the TAO.

  • Reputation. The reputation of a travel agent is one of the major considerations for Hong Kong tourists. They normally engage the company with good reputation and medium to large size. It is because there are risks for engaging small travel agent that package tours may be cancelled due to insufficient tourists or the bankruptcy of them. Large and wellknown travel agents gain a competitive advantage over the small travel agents.

– 55 –

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

However, it takes long to build up good reputation and track record, causing high entry barrier for new entrants.

  • Suppliers’ network. Land operators, hotel operators and airlines companies are the major suppliers for travel agents. Maintaining good business relationship with these suppliers is essential. During peak travelling seasons, the services for these suppliers are always full. Having stable suppliers’ network can ensure providing stable services to the tourists.

The low-end package tours market is highly fragmented and the competition is very keen. Travellers choosing low-end package tours are generally relatively more price sensitive and have less concern on quality of travel elements, such as transportation and accommodation. While for the high-end package tours market, the competition is comparatively less given that not many market players are able to provide high quality package tours because, in doing so, the travel agents have to secure quality services at competitive prices from suppliers including airlines, hotels and land operators, which depend on the travel agents’ track record, reputation in the industry, business relationship with the suppliers and booking volume. Therefore, offering highend package tours has a higher entry barrier than that of low-end package tours, resulting in less keen competition.

SWOT ANALYSIS OF THE TRAVEL SERVICE INDUSTRY IN HONG KONG

Strength and opportunity

The travel service industry in Hong Kong has benefit from Hong Kong travellers’ increasing demand for overseas leisure travel due to their rapidly increasing expenditure ability. Hong Kong people are frequent travellers who like travelling for relaxing due to busy and pressured life. The habit of Hong Kong people benefits the travel service industry.

Theme travel is on an upward trend. Apart from the growth in traditional travellers (e.g. relaxation, sightseeing, family visit and MICE), there is increasing amount of tourists who go for different purposes. Theme travel emerged and spread quickly, such as birthday tour, honeymoon tour, pre-marriage tour, wedding photo tour, eco-tour, volunteer and company visit. The age range of travellers from Hong Kong has also widened to cover more students and the elderly.

Travel service industry in Hong Kong benefits a lot from the visa exemption policy in many countries. Hong Kong people are frequent travellers to overseas due to convenience given that there are over 140 countries which do not require Hong Kong passport holders to apply for a visa.

Weakness and threat

The advance of the Internet causes a great threat to the travel service industry because people, especially the young generation, can easily get travelling information from the Internet and arrange the tours themselves without the services of travel services companies. Online agencies and booking platforms of airlines and hotels make it more convenient and flexible for flight and hotel booking. Online booking platform has strong searching and filter system, which is increasingly popular among individual travellers who pursue economic flight and accommodation offers. Travellers can tailor make their own schedule and book air tickets and hotels through many online booking platforms with very low handling charge. The increasing use of Internet for travel booking and the rapid emergence of online booking platforms pose threat to, and intensify competition within, the travel service industry, especially to traditional offline travel agents.

– 56 –

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

In addition, online travel booking agents and booking platforms of airlines and hotels have been very competitive in pricing and introduced aggressive marketing campaigns and promotion programmes. In recent years, they promoted through different channels including (i) print media which mainly include newspapers, journals and magazines; (ii) broadcast media which mainly include television; (iii) out-of-home media which include subway advertising, transportation body and interior panel display, outdoor video walls and billboards; and (iv) Internet which include social media and search engines. Online travel booking agents and booking platforms of airlines and hotels offer deep discounts from time to time. Online travel booking agents frequently offer booking discounts when customers apply promotion or coupon codes. They may also offer discounts to members. Moreover, online travel booking agents usually cooperate with credit card companies and banks to offer discounts on bookings through those online travel booking agents.

Security concern is essential. The terrorist attacks in Europe and other Western countries were deterring tourists. By the same token, although threats from human attacks and manmade harms are less rampant in Japan, natural disasters can be scaring, with 2011 tourism downturn due to the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 2011 being a good illustration.

PACKAGE TOURS BOUND FOR JAPAN FROM HONG KONG

Market size of the package tours bound for Japan from Hong Kong

The total revenue from package tours bound for Japan from Hong Kong increased from approximately HK$2.0 billion in 2011 to approximately HK$3.2 billion in 2015, representing a CAGR of approximately 12.4%. It is expected that the total revenue from package tours bound for Japan from Hong Kong after 2015 will steadily grow at around 6% annually. Japanese products are well perceived by Hong Kong people because of their good quality and design. One of the main reasons for Hong Kong travellers bound for Japan is shopping, resulting in great demand for package tours bound for Japan.

SWOT analysis of Japan bound package tour market in Hong Kong

Package tours bound for Japan now take up the biggest market share of the entire package tour market for all destinations in Hong Kong. The popularity has lasted for more than 10 years. In contrast with FIT market, although the latter signals a great growth potential in recent years, package tour is still the preferred choice of most Hong Kong travellers. In addition, with increasing consideration for leisure, escapism, cleanliness and safety and rising interest in theme travel (e.g. honeymoon, pre-marriage tour, volunteer, medical treatment, etc.), outbound package tours to Japan show substantial growth potential towards 2020.

Strength

Package tours bound for Japan have always enjoyed high-quality local ground services, which in turn have been promoted and supported by government initiatives. Japan National Tourism Organisation is taking initiatives to train tourism professionals and has launched “Goodwill Guide Campaign” tailored for foreign visitors, which provides free interpretation and guide services. New reception centres are established at an increasing speed. These improvements made by local governments can improve travellers’ confidence and thus attract more travellers from Hong Kong.

Large variety of package tours cater needs from wide range of population. With sufficient leisure time and accumulated wealth, the retired population in Hong Kong is keen to enjoy life, and is expected to look for slower pace package tours with less demanding in fitness level yet different and unforgettable outbound travel experience. For the stressful working population, there is desire from this group of people seeking way to ease their tension and stress by means of outbound travel. There are plenty of cities in Japan that cater the needs from a wide range of tourists who are looking for different themes of travel.

Weakness

Package tours for Japan lag behind other regions due to language barrier, which is being improved with government funds and business investments. It is common for Hong Kong tourists to find difficulty in communicating with Japanese. In response, Japan is improving language services in tourist centres and tourist spots by training tourism professionals, recruiting more multilingual employees and offering interpretation guides to foreign visitors. Road signs and slogans in important facilities such as shopping malls have been changed to bilingual versions.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Opportunity

Compared with package tours for Europe and other Western countries, Japan enjoys greater geographical proximity. The average price of package tours for Europe is more than twice of that of Japan. While comparing to other short haul markets, although average spending in package tours to Japan exceeds those in other Asian countries, Japan serves as a better place meeting travellers’ demand, especially in terms of shopping. Moreover, low-cost carrier flights are emerging in the airline industry. Their lower prices allow future package tour prices to be further discounted. In addition, the quick expansion of tax-free shops and range of tax-free products correspond to the increasing shopping drive among Hong Kong travellers.

Threat

Price competitiveness may be impaired by volatile macroeconomic environment. Exchange rate and oil price are two major factors affecting the tourism industry. Depreciation in JPY has contributed to the tourism boom and shopping spree in 2014, but by the same token it can also bite the industry. On the other hand, increase in oil price will result in the increase in oil surcharge of air tickets, which will cast a shadow as well. Package tour bound for Japan has also been under the threat of bilateral ties and political tensions among the Southeast Asia region.

PRICE TREND OF THE KEY TRAVEL ELEMENTS

Price of package tours bound for Japan

The price of package tours varies for different destinations in Japan, which depends on the transportation and local price level. According to the CH Report, taking 5-day tours to Tokyo, Osaka and Hokkaido, which are the most popular travel destinations in Japan, as examples, in 2015, the average price for tours to Hokkaido is approximately HK$9,034, which is the highest among the three destinations, followed by the average price for tours to Osaka. The average price of package tours to Tokyo is approximately HK$7,054, which is the lowest among the three destinations. The price of package tours mainly depends on the costs of air tickets, hotels, food and beverages and admissions to attractions.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Price trend of major costs (hotel price and air ticket price) and their impact on the travel service industry in Hong Kong and tours bound for Japan from Hong Kong

The sales per room of a well-known international hotel having operation in different cities of Japan is taken as a proxy for analysing the trend of hotel price in Japan. Since 2013, the hotel price showed an increasing trend due to the increase in the number of travellers to Japan, resulting in the increase in demand for hotel rooms and in turn driving up prices. However, it is foreseeable that the hotel price will follow a slight decreasing trend because of the expected increase in national supply of hotels to cater for Olympic Games to be held in Tokyo in 2020. The trend will slightly bounce back in 2020 because of the increase in travellers attracted by Olympics game. The downward trend benefits to the travel service industry as it lowers the cost of a package tour.

The cost of air tickets follows a similar trend as hotel. Average price per passenger of one of the largest airline companies in Japan, is adopted as a proxy for analysing the trend of air ticket price. Apart from the effect of global economy, the price of air tickets highly depends on the international oil price because oil is one of the major costs for airline companies. Over supply and diminishing demand for oil from emerging countries caused the international air ticket price to remain at a low level. The increase in the number of travellers to Japan offset the effect of dropping in global oil prices, resulting in an increase in the air ticket price for Japan bound flights. Despite the difficulties of forecasting global oil price, it is widely believed that oil price will rebound from the valley. Rising oil price may potentially impose great resistance to profitability of airline and travel service industry. It is expected that the oil price will not increase significantly in coming years, resulting in flattening air ticket price. Travel service industry benefits from the slight drop in air ticket price, which lowers the cost of package tours.

Travel Agents Registry

The TAR was established in 1985. It is responsible for the administration of the TAO and aims to raise the standard of the trade through regulation of travel agents. It strives to protect the interest of outbound travellers and inbound visitors and enhance the reputation of the tourism industry in Hong Kong.

Licensing requirements for Travel Agents

Under section 9 of the TAO, no person shall carry on business as a travel agent without a licence or at any place other than specified in that licence or otherwise than in accordance with the conditions imposed by the RTA.

In general, the RTA shall grant a licence by directing an approved organisation to accept the applicant who is a fit and proper person to carry on business as a travel agent in accordance with section 11 of the TAO. Under section 12 of the TAO, the RTA may refuse to grant the licence if, in the case of an applicant who is a body corporate, it is of the opinion that:

  • (a) the applicant is not a fit and proper person to carry on business as travel agent;

  • (b) any controller of such body corporate is not a fit and proper person to be associated with the business of a travel agent;

  • (c) any director or secretary or officer thereof in Hong Kong, is not a fit and proper person to be associated with the business of a travel agent; or

  • (d) the premises to which the application relates or the situation thereof are not suitable for the carrying on of the business of a travel agent.

According to section 12(2) of the TAO, when determining whether someone would be a fit and proper person, the RTA shall have regard to a number of factors such as whether he had been convicted of any offence involving fraud, corruption or dishonesty, whether he had been convicted of any offence against the TAO, whether he is an undischarged bankrupt, or in the case of a body corporate, whether it is in liquidation or is the subject of a winding up order.

PTHK and Worldwide Package have been licensed travel agents under the TAO during the Track Record Period. Every licence shall be valid for a period of twelve months, or such lesser period as may be specified in the licence, from the date on which it is granted. Subject to sections 11 and 12 of the TAO, a licensee may renew his licence for a period not exceeding twelve months, during the period of not more than two months and not less than one month prior to the expiration of the licence or within such a period as the RTA may permit.

TIC directives relating to refund arrangements for tour cancellations by a travel agent

(i) Reasons beyond control

  • Directive number 223 (issued on 17 April 2015) provides that travel agents must state in clear language how the monies paid by consumers will be handled should package tours

– 67 –

LAWS AND REGULATIONS

be cancelled because of reasons beyond control, including the amount of handling fee (if any) and the cancellation charges. Such information must be stated clearly in the tour booking terms and conditions made available to customers before they sign up for the package tours.

(a) Notification

If any package tours are cancelled before departure because of reasons beyond control, members shall notify the tour participants as quickly as possible. When notifying tour participants of the cancellation, travel agents must clearly inform the tour participants that they may collect cancellation charges and of the amount of the handling fee (if any) collected for cancelling package tours for reasons beyond control. Travel agents must also notify participants of the amounts of the cancellation charges within seven working days after submission of proof for collection of the cancellation charges to the TIC (counting from the date on the written proof submitted by them).

(b) Cancellation charges

Cancellation charges refer to charges imposed by the major transport providers because the travel agents have cancelled their bookings. Travel agents are allowed, when making refund to the tour participants, to collect the actual amounts of the cancellation charges subject to the total amounts not exceeding the tour fares or part thereof paid by the tour participants. If the travel agents collect or do not collect the cancellation charges, they must equally, within seven working days after cancellation of the package tours, refund the tour participants monies, which include the tour fares, airport passenger departure tax, fuel surcharges imposed by airlines and service charges imposed by the travel agent.

If the package tour is terminated after departure, travel agents must within one month after the participants return to Hong Kong, refund the monies proportionate to the reduction in costs and submit relevant supporting documents to the TIC;

  • Directive number 177 (issued on 9 October 2009) defines “reasons beyond control” as hostilities, political unrest, terror attacks, natural disasters, pestilences, bad weather, technical problems to transport, changes to the frequency or timetable of any means of conveyance by its operator without advance notice, strikes, industrial action, travel advisories (warnings) issued by governments of the destinations or the World Health Organisation, red or black outbound travel alerts issued by the Hong Kong SAR Government, and any other situations of which the industry has no control and which are unfavourable to outbound trips of travellers;

  • Directive number 153 (issued on 20 November 2006) provides that travel agents must make refund applications to banks for credit card payments of tour fares within seven working days if a package tour is cancelled prior to its departure for reasons beyond control;

– 68 –

LAWS AND REGULATIONS

(ii) Reasons not beyond control

  • Directive number 77 (issued on 15 April 1999) provides that a travel agent who cancels a package tour shall notify its customers at least seven days in advance of the departure date (excluding departure date). If a travel agent fails to do so, it must make full refund of all monies paid and offer to pay an amount equivalent to 15% of the package tour price but not exceeding HK$1,000 to the customer as compensation within three working days. This directive does not apply to destinations within Guangdong Province;

  • According to the Code of Business Practice on Outbound Package Tours, if a travel agent cancels a package tour to any destination (except within Guangdong Province) prior to its commencement for reasons not beyond control, it shall notify the customer at least seven working days in advance excluding the departure date. Failing which, it must make full refund of all money received, and must also offer to pay 15% of the price of the package tour but not exceeding HK$1,000 as compensation within three working days. For Guangdong destinations, the notification requirement is at least one day in advance excluding departure date, and must offer to pay the same percentage of compensation within three working days (under directive number 98, issued on 5 October 2001);

  • Directive number 153 (issued on 20 November 2006) provides that travel agents must make refund applications to banks for credit card payments of tour fares within three working days if a package tour is cancelled prior to its departure for reasons not beyond control; and

  • Directive number 135 (effective from 17 June 2005) provides that if a package tour which has been guaranteed to depart is cancelled by a travel agent not for reasons beyond its control, the travel agent must pay each tour participant concerned 15% of the price of the relevant tour but not exceeding HK$1,000 as compensation within three working days. However, if, immediately after the occurrence of some severe incidents, a member cancels a package tour guaranteed to depart before departure because of safety reasons, it does not need to offer any compensation to the travellers concerned.

This directive shall be implemented together the Code of Business Practice on Outbound Package Tours. In other words, if a package tour guaranteed to depart is cancelled by a travel agent not for reasons beyond its control and without sufficient notice, the travel agent concerned shall pay each of the tour participants 30% of the price of the relevant tour but not exceeding HK$2,000 as compensation, of which 15% is for cancellation of a package tour guaranteed to depart and 15% is for cancellation of a tour without sufficient notice.

  • Directive number 229 (issued on 16 December 2016) provides that if a travel agent cancels an outbound package tour which commences during 27-31 January 2017 (both days inclusive), it shall notify its agents and customers of the cancellation before the stipulated periods in advance (14 days for package tours to any destinations except those totally within Guangdong Province, five days for package tours to Guangdong Province, both excluding the departure and notification dates). Failing that, the travel agent shall make a full refund of all money received, and shall also offer to pay 15% of the price of the relevant package tour but not exceeding HK$1,000 to its customers as compensation

– 69 –

LAWS AND REGULATIONS

within three working days. This directive shall be implemented together with directive number 135 above, which means if the cancelled package tour was guaranteed to depart, the travel agent shall pay the customers up to 30% of the price of the relevant tour but not exceeding HK$2,000 as compensation.

Other TIC directives

  • Directive number 129 (issued on 15 November 2004) provides that for charter tours, which means package tours organised by travel agents in accordance with the demands of individual group clients, travel agents shall frank all their receipts immediately upon receipt of the fares in order to pay the 0.15% levy.

  • Directive number 166 (issued on 15 June 2007) provides that for air-plus-hotel packages, travel agents shall specify whether the package is “confirmed” or “subject to confirmation”. For air-plus-hotel packages that are subject to confirmation, if travel agents are unable to provide such packages at the originally agreed price and by the confirmation date, they shall refund the money paid by their customers within three working days without having to pay any compensation. For air-plus-hotel packages that are confirmed, if travel agents are unable to provide such packages on which they have merely collected deposits, they shall notify their customers as such at least seven days prior to departure (excluding the day of departure) in accordance with the existing rules governing cancellation of package tours. Otherwise, they shall offer to pay within three working days each customer 15% of the price of the relevant package but not exceeding HK$1,000 as compensation. This rule also applies to bookings made by customers which fall within seven days prior to departure. If travel agents are unable to provide such packages for which they have collected full payment, they shall handle such situations in accordance with the existing rules governing cancellation of package tours guaranteed to depart.

Trade Descriptions Ordinance (Chapter 362 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (“TDO”)

The TDO prohibits false trade descriptions, misleading or incomplete information, false marks and misstatements in respect of goods and services provided in the course of trade or supply of such goods and certain unfair trade practices. In relation to goods, applying a false trade description to any goods, supplying or offering to supply any goods to which a false trade description is applied, or having possession for sale (or for any purpose of trade or manufacture) any goods with false trade description applied is prohibited. With regards to services, applying a false trade description to a service supplied or offered to be supplied to a consumer or supplying or offering to supply to a consumer a service to which a false trade description is applied is prohibited. Furthermore, a trader who adopts “Unfair Trade Practices” commits an offence.

Travel insurance

The Hong Kong Federation of Insurers

The HKFI was established in 1988. As a self-regulatory body of insurers, it represents the insurance industry in HK, and aims to advance and promote the development of insurance business in HK. It was responsible for setting up the IARB, and directs the board to execute its various functions. In particular, the HKFI issued the IA Code of Practice, which is being implemented and administered by the IARB.

Administration of Insurance Agents

Insurers and insurance agents are regulated by the ICO. A person holding himself out as an insurance agent is required by the ICO to be properly appointed as an insurance agent (section 65 (1)(a)) — namely, appointment by an insurer and registration with the IARB are required. Travel agents can be registered as insurance agents with the IARB as an agent or subagent of one or more insurers in order to advise on or arrange contracts of insurance in or from Hong Kong. The responsible officer of an insurance agent is responsible for the agent’s insurance agency business.

The ICO requires insurance agents to follow the IA Code of Practice. The IA Code of Practice is issued by the HKFI and endorsed by the IA. It governs how the insurers should administer insurance agents. For instance, it describes the rules and procedures governing the registration and de-registration of insurance agents, the fit and proper criteria of insurance agents, the minimum requirements of the agency agreement, and the IARB’s power to handle complaints and require the insurers to take disciplinary actions against their insurance agents. For example, the disciplinary procedures may include issuing reprimand or suspending/terminating appointment.

The HKFI/IARB may issue guidance notes from time to time on how the IA Code of Practice would be implemented. For example, the guidance notes issued include guidelines on misconduct, handling of premiums and the effective date of registration of insurance agents, responsible officers and technical representatives. With particular relevance to our Group’s business are the Guidance Note on Restricted Scope Travel Business — meaning the effecting and carrying out of contracts of travel insurance tied to a tour, travel package, trip or other travel service by a travel agent for his clients and the Guidance Note on Compliance with the Requirements of the Continuing Professional Development (“ CPD ”) Programme for Registered Persons who are Registered as Engaging in Restricted Scope Travel Business (“ RSTB ”) Only which explains the particular education requirements and continuing professional development requirements specific to persons registered as engaging in RSTB only.

The following table sets out the details of our Group’s registration with IARB:

LAWS AND REGULATIONS

Insurance Intermediaries Quality Assurance Scheme (the “Scheme”)

Under the Scheme, responsible officers and technical representatives of all insurance intermediaries, such as insurance agents are required to take the Insurance Intermediaries Qualifying Examination (“ IIQE ”) as one of the requirements to enter the profession, unless otherwise exempted. The IIQE is conducted by the PEAK Examination Centre of the Vocational Training Council, and consists of three parts: the Basic Examination Paper, the Qualifying Examination Papers, and the Travel Insurance Agents Examination Paper (“ TIA Paper ”). Once qualified, insurance intermediaries still need to comply with requirements of the CPD programme thereafter to maintain their registration, otherwise they may face disciplinary actions or deregistration.

Competition Ordinance (Chapter 619 of the Laws of Hong Kong)

The Competition Ordinance prohibits the conduct that prevents, restricts or distorts competition in Hong Kong; prohibits mergers that substantially lessens competition in Hong Kong, and provides for incidental and connected matters.

The Competition Ordinance includes the first conduct rule and the second conduct rule. The first conduct rule states that an undertaking shall not make or give effect to an agreement, engage in a concerted practice, or, as a member of an association of undertakings, make or give effect to a decision of the association, if the object or effect of the agreement, concerted practice or decision is to prevent, restrict or distort competition in Hong Kong. The second conduct rule prohibits anticompetitive conduct by a party with substantial market power in a market; such party must not abuse that power by engaging in conduct that has as its object or effect the prevention, restriction or distortion of competition in Hong Kong. Upon breach, the Competition Tribunal may impose penalties or orders against offenders such as pecuniary penalties, director disqualifications, prohibition orders or damages. For pecuniary penalty, section 93 of the Competition Ordinance enables the Competition Tribunal to award a penalty of up to 10% of the turnover of the undertakings involved for up to three years in which the contravention occurs.

LAWS AND REGULATIONS IN JAPAN ON GUIDE INTERPRETATION

The guide interpretation activities are mainly regulated by the Guide-Interpreter Law in Japan ( ) (Act No. 12 of May 10, 1949) (the “ Guide-Interpreter Law ”). Article 36 of the Guide-Interpreter Law states that “any person who is not qualified as a guide-interpreter may not engage in the business of guide interpretation with receipt of a reward” and article 2 of the GuideInterpreter Law defines “guide interpretation” as the provision of guide on travel by attending a foreigner and using a foreign language.

BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

Founded in 1979, we are one of the long-established and well-known travel agents in Hong Kong. We market our travel related products under our brand “ ”. Our major business is the provision of outbound package tours with particular focus on Japan bound tours. According to the CH Report, we were the second largest travel agent in Hong Kong in terms of number of travellers for package tours bound for Japan in 2015, and ranked eighth with approximately 2.6% market share in terms of number of travellers for outbound package tours amongst the travel agents in Hong Kong which provided outbound package tours in 2015.

We believe we are well perceived by customers as expert in the provision of travel packages for Japan, as evidenced by various awards we have received including “ 2013” (My Most Favourite Japan Tour 2013) by U Magazine, a lifestyle magazine in Hong Kong; “ 2015” (My Most Favourite Travel Agent for Japan Travel 2015) by Flyagain.la, an online travel information platform; and “The Most Favorite Travel Package Awards” in 2011, 2013 and 2015 by Weekend Weekly, a travel magazine in Hong Kong. We consider our success over the years was largely owing to our ability and dedication to bring new travel experience to our customers with a variety of tours.

Apart from Japan, we offer package tours to other destinations including South Korea, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Dubai, Australia, New Zealand and Europe.

In addition to outbound package tours, we offer other travel products and services to our customers, including FIT products and ancillary travel related products and services. FITs mean travellers who purchase FIT products for their own travel itinerary, instead of package tours. FIT products usually comprise air tickets, hotel accommodation, or a combination of both. We also provide ancillary travel related products and services which include admission tickets to attractions, local transportation, car rental, prepaid telephone and internet cards, travel insurance and travel visa application.

Our success and commitment to high quality products and professional services has earned us numerous awards in recognition of our achievements. For details of the major awards received by us, please refer to “— Awards”.

According to the CH Report, the number of outbound travellers from Hong Kong to Japan was the highest among short haul countries excluding the Mainland China in 2015. From 2011 to 2015, the CAGR of the number of visitors from Hong Kong to Japan was approximately 43%; and it is expected that the number of visitors from Hong Kong to Japan after 2015 will continue to grow at approximately 10% annually. We strive to maintain our leading position in the provision of Japan bound tours.

Leveraged on our extensive experience and success in Japan bound tours, while we will continue to excel in our provision of Japan bound tours, we will also develop tours to other destinations, and offer FIT products and ancillary travel related products and services to meet the different demand and preferences of our customers. We are committed to delivering the best travel experience and customer satisfaction and becoming the favourite travel agent in Hong Kong as our marketing slogan in Chinese says “ ” (love travelling, love WWPKG).

Note: Our revenues from sales of FIT products and ancillary travel related products and services are recognised on net basis as we render our services as an agent.

During the Track Record Period, there had not been any material change in the business focus of our Group.

COMPETITION

We operate in the travel service industry in Hong Kong. According to the CH Report, there were 1,756 licensed travel agents in Hong Kong as at the Latest Practicable Date, 560 of which engage in the wholesale and/or operation of package tours. The ten largest licensed travel agents engaging in the wholesale and/or operation of package tours in Hong Kong accounted for over 75% market share in terms of number of Hong Kong travellers who joined package tours in 2015.

As our major business is the provision of outbound package tours with over 97% of our total revenue during the Track Record Period derived from the sales of package tours, we mainly

BUSINESS

compete with other licensed travel agents in Hong Kong which offer outbound package tours to their customers. We also face competition from airlines and other travel agents in and outside Hong Kong, which offer similar products and services directly to customers or over the Internet.

Our Directors consider that the relatively small number of travel agents in Hong Kong providing package tour service may be due to the entry barriers which, according to the CH Report, include compliance with the TAR licensing requirements, building up of reputation and track record and maintaining of good business relationship with major suppliers such as airlines, land operators and hotels. In particular, according to the CH Report, the reputation of a travel agent is one of the major considerations for customers in their choice of travel agents but it takes long to build up good reputation and track record, causing high entry barrier for new entrants. Moreover, maintaining good business relationship with major suppliers such as airlines, land operators and hotels is essential to ensure stable supply of their services.

Despite the intense competition, our Directors believe that we will maintain our competitive position in the travel service industry in Hong Kong based on our competitive strengths. We will continue to design and develop high quality package tours, offer new travel destinations, broaden the scope of our products and services and improve the quality of our services with the aim to increasing our market share. Please refer to “— Competitive strengths” below for details of our competitive strengths.

COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS

Our Directors believe we have the following competitive advantages :

We have an established market presence and well-known brand name in Hong Kong

Founded in 1979, we are one of the long-established and well-known travel agents in Hong Kong. According to the CH Report, we were the second largest travel agent in Hong Kong in terms of number of travellers for package tours bound for Japan in 2015, and ranked eighth with approximately 2.6% market share in terms of number of travellers for outbound package tours amongst the travel agents in Hong Kong which provided outbound package tours in 2015.

With 37 years of business in the travel service industry in Hong Kong under our brand “ ”, we believe we have established a well-known brand in Hong Kong with a reputation for provision of quality travel products and services. Leveraged on our established market presence and renowned brand, we believe our continuous effort to improve our products and services and our commitment to providing a variety of travel products and services will enable us to increase our market share.

We are committed to providing quality products and services which meet customers’ needs

We believe one of the keys to our success is our commitment to providing quality products and services to customers to ensure highest customer satisfaction. We carefully select our suppliers which meet our stringent requirements such as quality, safety, responsiveness and reliability. Our suppliers include major airlines and five-star hotels. We are determined to offer professional

– 84 –

BUSINESS

services and pleasant experience to our customers beginning from their enquiries of our products and services through to the end of their travel. We provide continuous training to our sales representatives, tour escorts and customer service representatives to ensure they have the necessary knowledge, skills and courtesy to serve our customers with professionalism.

As part of our on-going evaluation and assessment over the quality of our products and services, we require our tour escorts to submit a tour completion report to us after the end of each tour reporting on the quality of the products and services provided by our suppliers. In addition, we invite our customers to complete an evaluation form at the end of the tour for their comments on various aspects of the travel elements and the services of our staff and tour escorts. We also conduct phone interviews with randomly selected customers and collect their feedback about the quality of our products and services.

Our on-going evaluation processes enable us to monitor the quality of our products and services, and to improve our products and services which meet our customers’ needs.

We have diversified product range which offers different travel experience to our customers

We are committed to developing new travel products and ideas to meet the different needs and travel preferences of our customers. For existing destinations, we seek to introduce new itineraries and activities from time to time in order to offer new travel experience to our customers. We also conduct researches on new destinations with the aim to developing new tours to provide our customers with wider choice of destinations. We have introduced different theme tours to cater for different travel preferences of customers such as festival theme tours, excursion train tours, gourmet tours, cruise tours, cultural experience tours and world heritage tours. We monitor the market trends and travel preferences continuously and are responsive in developing new tours to meet the demands of customers. Moreover, through sponsorship of television travel programmes and films and hosting of travel seminars, we bring the latest travel information and ideas to customers who desire to enrich their travel experience. We believe our commitment to developing new travel products and ideas and our expanding diversity of product range will enable us to attract more customers.

We have established good business relationships with airlines and other suppliers

We have maintained good relationship with various airlines such that we are allocated with block seats in advance half yearly so that we could plan and design our products ahead and ensure there are sufficient seats for our tour operations. For certain of our major airline suppliers, we are allowed to cancel up to a certain percentage of the block seats reserved for us and no penalty will be charged and no deposit will be forfeited if the cancellation is made within an agreed period prior to departure. We are often offered exclusive charter flights for peak seasons upon our request to cope with our demand by reason of our good business relationship with the airlines. We have maintained long term business relationship of more than 14 years with some of our major airline suppliers.

We have received numerous awards for our outstanding performance from various major airlines including Cathay Pacific Airways, Dragonair, Asiana Airlines, Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways. In particular, we have received top agent awards from Cathay Pacific Airways for 15 consecutive years from 2001 and top agent awards from Dragonair for three consecutive years since 2013.

– 85 –

BUSINESS

We have enjoyed good business relationship with other suppliers including land operators and hotels. We have maintained long term business relationship with some of our land operators of at least 10 years. Our land operators, with local expertise, will provide us with latest travel information which assist us to develop new itineraries and travel elements. We also maintain good relationship with many hotels located in popular destinations and are therefore able to offer wider choice of hotels to our customers which in turn result in better travel experience for our customers.

Our management team is well experienced in the travel industry

Our executive Directors, Mr. SK Yuen and Ms. Chan have over 36 years and Mr. CN Yuen has over 10 years of experience in the travel industry especially for operation of package tours bound for Japan. Their invaluable knowledge and insight of the travel industry has enabled our Group to attain our success in the past. Under the leadership of our executive Directors, and with our supportive senior management team, which has on average over 15 years of experience in their respective function, we believe our Group will continue our success and bring new and unique travel experience to our customers. For further information on our Directors and senior management, please refer to “Directors and Senior Management”.

STRATEGIES

We aim to deliver the best travel experience and customer satisfaction and become the favourite travel agent in Hong Kong. We intend to achieve our goal by implementing the following strategies:

Enhancing our brand recognition and awareness

We believe that reputation influences customers’ choice of travel products among different travel agents in Hong Kong. Our status as a long-established and well-known travel agent in Hong Kong is vital to our continuous success. We intend to maintain our reputation and brand recognition through continuous promotion of our brand and create highest value-to-cost experience for our customers.

We will promote our brand awareness through various marketing channels including sponsorship of television travel programmes (including online television) and films, advertisements on newspapers, television, public transportation and travel and lifestyle magazines, promoting our products and services on the Internet including social media, organising travel seminars, participating in tourism fairs, and cooperating with credit card companies and banks to offer discounts on our products and services respectively. We have sponsored two series of television travel programme which were broadcasted in April and November 2016.

In particular, with the increasing use of Internet for travel booking and in order to correspond with the introduction of our integrated online sales platform, we will boost our digital marketing efforts. We have launched a two-year digital marketing campaign in August 2016 with an aim to digitally transforming our Group into a leader in local travel e-commerce. Through advertising on social media and search engine marketing, we aim to increase online channel presence and online traffic and drive online inquiry to our product offerings. We plan to do so by building promotions for interested groups, developing special packages and tours and building fan following from interested groups.

– 86 –

BUSINESS

We will continue to develop new itineraries and different theme tours such as excursion train tours, festival theme tours and gourmet tours. We believe such diversified tours will enhance our brand recognition for unique travel experience. For instance, we have designed a luxurious fiveday hot spring and gourmet tour departing on the day following the Chinese New Year of 2017 with our spokesperson as a guest tour participant at the tour price of approximately HK$80,000 per person, which we believe will raise the awareness of our brand and enhance the popularity of our products. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the tour has received satisfactory enrolments.

Strengthening our customer relationship management efforts to increase customer loyalty

We will enhance our customer relationship management efforts in order to improve length of customer cycle and build loyal customer base. We will analyse the data to be accumulated from the digital marketing campaign to understand our customers’ behaviour in depth, including resell patterns, product preferences, and customer lifecycles. We may also consider to adopt an enhanced customer relationship management system which allows us to make quantifiable measurement, synchronise business dealings and build an optimal website experience.

In addition, we launched our existing membership system in February 2016. Customers who enrol as a member will accumulate points upon purchase of our products and services. These points can be redeemed to offset the price of certain products and services. Members will also receive our newsletters from time to time to keep abreast of our latest promotion, and products and services. As at the Latest Practicable Date, we had over 10,400 members. We will regularly review the membership system for improvement which may include expanding the redemption scheme to offer additional benefits, souvenirs or gift vouchers, so as to increase customer loyalty and to attract new customers.

Increasing our market share by continuous development of new products and services

We will continue to explore new destinations and develop itineraries for our existing tours to give our customers new and different travel experience. In particular, we will develop a range of signature tours such as luxurious hot spring, Michelin gourmet and exotic experience tours. We will conduct regular researches for new travel ideas including new destinations, new points of attraction and special local events so as to improve our existing tours and to develop new destinations to add to our variety of tours. We will also develop new itineraries which tailor our customers’ preference and market trends. For instance, we had been in discussion with our major airline supplier to cooperate with them to develop a regular route to a new destination in Japan. As a result of our discussion, our major airline supplier has proposed to operate scheduled charter flight to Komatsu, Japan initially for the period between mid-April and end-June 2017 with two departures per week. The new scheduled flight to Komatsu will enable us to develop new itineraries for Hokuriku area and Chubu area. We also plan to develop one to two new destination(s) every year to provide a wider choice to our customers. We believe that with the wide choice of products and services and our reputation for quality, we can increase our market share.

Strengthening of sales network

We currently have four branches located in Causeway Bay, Mongkok, Tsim Sha Tsui and Shatin to provide in-person services to our customers. We plan to refurbish our existing branches

– 87 –

BUSINESS

to give a unified and new image across all our branches, which we believe will improve customer experience and also promote our brand awareness and recognition. We leased another property unit to expand the space of our Shatin branch to offer a more relaxing and pleasant environment to our customers and to cope with our future operation, which commenced operation in November 2016. We will also evaluate the need to increase our branch network by opening an additional branch at a strategic location in Hong Kong to provide convenience for those customers who prefer personal purchase experience.

To meet the demand of those customers who prefer instant accessibility, we will continue to improve our website and online sales platform to provide up-to-date travel information and simplified purchase and booking procedures respectively. We have engaged an independent software developer to develop and enhance our online sales platform with an integrated booking system. As at the Latest Practicable Date, customers were able to (i) view real time information and the availability and pricing of our package tours, air tickets and some of our ancillary travel related products; (ii) make booking of our package tours; (iii) make purchase of air tickets with real time confirmation; (iv) make purchase of some of our ancillary travel related products; and (v) view real time information on the availability and pricing of hotel accommodation and make purchase and booking with real time confirmation.

Our online sales platform, when fully developed, is expected to further enable our customers to (i) make purchase of “ticket plus hotel” FIT packages with real time confirmation; (ii) make full payment for, and change their booking of, package tours; and (iii) chat online with our sales representatives for assistance. We will increase our offering of FIT products on our integrated online sales platform to cater for the needs of FITs so as to capture the growth of the FIT market. We will offer certain hotel bookings exclusively to increase the attractiveness of our products.

In December 2016, we have entered into a long-term affiliate agreement with one of the world’s leading travel intermediaries, under which the travel intermediary will supply hotel inventories to us and travellers could select and purchase accommodation in more than 280,000 hotels worldwide through our online sales platform. The agreement is for a term of three years where the supply of hotel inventories from the travel intermediary has been effective as at the Latest Practicable Date, subject to further enhancements. Under the agreement, there is no minimum purchase requirement of the hotel inventories supplied by the travel intermediary. We will receive marketing fees for purchases of the hotel accommodation supplied by the travel intermediary made through our online sales platform.

Given our online sales platform can offer such wide range of products (i.e. package tours, FIT products and ancillary travel related products and services), it can satisfy most of the travel needs of our customers as a one-stop shop. This will distinguish us from most of the online agencies and booking platforms of airlines and hotels which generally only offer air ticket and/or hotel booking.

Improvement in our information systems

We will continue to upgrade or replace our information systems to improve our operational efficiency. We currently plan to upgrade or replace our existing hotlines telephone system, accounting system and tour operating system with integrated management information functions.

– 88 –

BUSINESS

Such new information systems will streamline our operation processes and improve our operation efficiency. In addition, with the integrated management information functions, our management will be able to closely monitor and review our business operations and financial performance so that we could respond to market changes expeditiously in view of the intensifying market competition.

Expansion of our staff team

We plan to strengthen our management team by recruiting at least one seasoned and talented person at senior managerial level to oversee our overall business operations. We are further planning to recruit one to two experienced team member(s) for each of our marketing, accounting and information technology functions. We require additional marketing staff in order to implement our strategy to continue promoting our brand awareness through advertisements and other marketing campaign. We require additional accounting staff to support our chief financial officer so as to cope with the additional financial reporting requirements after Listing. Further, we require additional staff for our information technology function to maintain our new website and online sales platform and to support our customer relationship management analysis.

Certain of the above strategies will be funded by the net proceeds from the Share Offer. For details of our intended use of the proceeds from the Share Offer, please refer to “Future Plans and Use of Proceeds”. We will fund the other strategies set out above by our internal resources.

Development of package tours

Under the supervision of our executive Directors, Mr. SK Yuen and Mr. CN Yuen, our product development and marketing department is responsible for the development of our package tours. We conduct researches on new and existing destinations from time to time to identify new travel elements to design and develop new package tours as well as to improve our existing

– 91 –

BUSINESS

package tours. For new destinations, we will consider factors such as market trends, customers’ preference, local events or points of interest in destinations, promotion by local tourism associations, and whether the local facilities can support the smooth operation of tours. For existing destinations, we may revise the travel elements and itineraries in light of customers’ feedback, suggestions from our tour escorts, land operators, market trends, updated information from local tourism associations, new additions of hotels and attractions, and special local events. We aim to continuously introduce new destinations (target to be one to two destination(s) per year) and new travel ideas so that our customers can broaden their travel experience. In developing new destinations and new travel ideas, we keep ourselves abreast of market trends and customers’ preference, the opening of new attractions and points of interest in new destinations.

Tour planning

We usually plan our package tours semi-annually taking into account the availability of flight seats. Our major airline suppliers will allocate block seats to us for their series flights in advance half yearly. We also make reservation of seats for their non-series flights or charter flights in advance from time to time. In addition, we may place ad-hoc orders with our airline suppliers for additional flight seats or charter flights.

For our package tours bound for Japan (except Okinawa), we will make bookings for other travel elements such as hotel accommodation, tour buses and meals directly or through our reservation agent in Japan. For our package tours bound for Okinawa and other non-Japan destinations, we engage land operators to arrange for local travel elements. Our land operators are responsible for the tour operation at destination and will charge our Group a fixed sum which covers all the costs of the local travel elements. Our land operators usually recommend and prepare detailed itineraries for different seasons based on our specifications and requirements for our approval.

We select our suppliers such as hotel operators, restaurants and land transportation operators which meet our standard of quality and safety. We also require our land operators to select local travel elements which meet our standard of quality and safety. We assess our potential suppliers based on their quality of services, safety standards, responsiveness, reliability and pricing. We have in place on-going evaluation processes to monitor the performance of our suppliers through feedbacks from our tour escorts and tour participants.

After we have made the necessary arrangements, we will prepare the itineraries and notify TIC of our products. After approval by TIC, we will market and launch our products through our marketing and sales channels.

For MICE tours, our MICE tour department will design tailor-made package tours to our customers according to their special requirements and needs.

Our sales representatives and tour escorts will be briefed of our new package tours so that they can provide useful advice and assistance to our customers.

– 92 –

BUSINESS

Sales of tour

When customers enrol in our package tours, they are required to pay a deposit at the time of booking. Our customers are required to settle the balance between ten to 30 days before departure depending on the types of tours and depending on whether it is peak or non-peak seasons pursuant to our terms of sales, regardless of whether the package tours have been confirmed. For cruise tours, our customers are required to settle the balance 100 days before departure. Peak seasons generally refer to Chinese New Year holidays, Easter holidays, school summer vacation in July and August, Japan’s autumn leaves season and Christmas holidays.

Customers are not allowed to withdraw or cancel orders for tours enrolled without incurring a cancellation charge, unless in circumstances described below. Our package tours are usually confirmed around eight to 14 days before the date of departure. We may cancel our tours due to insufficient tour participants. We will inform our customers of the cancellation generally at least seven days prior to departure or 14 days prior to departure if the departure date falls within the Chinese New Year holidays. Our customers can either join another tour offered by us or cancel their booking and request for a full refund of all money paid for the tour (except individual visa application fees paid by customers).

In the events of occurrence of incidents or any “reasons beyond control” situations as defined in TIC directive number 177, such as hostilities, political unrest, terror attacks, natural disasters, etc. prior to the departure which we consider may post threats to the safety of our customers, we may cancel the tours and notify the enrolled tour participants as quickly as possible in accordance with the relevant TIC directives. Similar to the cancellation of tours due to insufficient tour participants, the enrolled participants of tours cancelled by us due to threats to the safety can either join another tour offered by us or cancel their booking and we will make refunds to our customers in accordance with the relevant TIC directives.

Pre-tour arrangement

Once a tour is confirmed, we will make all necessary arrangements for the tour. For Japan bound tours (except Okinawa), we will make reservations for air tickets, tour buses, hotel accommodation, meals and admission to attractions. For Okinawa and other non-Japan bound tours, we will make reservations for air tickets and liaise with land operators for arrangement and operation of the tours including hotel accommodation, meals and local transportation at the destinations.

Tour operation

For Japan bound tours except Okinawa, we carry out the tour operation ourselves and arrange for hotels, local transportation, meals and sightseeing and other activities.

For Okinawa tours and non-Japan bound tours, the tour operation will be handled by our selected land operators with agreed arrangements for hotels, meals, local transportation and activities as required and approved by us before the engagement of the land operators for the specific tour.

– 93 –

BUSINESS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, we have 64 full-time tour escorts, who are our employees. During the Track Record Period, we hired freelance tour escorts from time to time, particularly during peak seasons. We will arrange one of our tour escorts to accompany each tour group throughout the tour to attend to our customers and will also see to the smooth operation of the tour. In the event of any issue arising from the operation of the tour or in case of emergency, our tour escort will be required to report to our tour operations department immediately and our tour operations department will assist our tour escort to resolve the issues.

Our tour escorts do not receive remuneration from us or the tour participants for their services rendered during the tours, but may, in accordance with the industry practice in Hong Kong, receive gratuity payment by the tour participants at the end of the tour on a voluntary and discretionary basis. We have been advised by the Japan Legal Advisers that the provision of guide services for our package tours bound for Japan by our tour escorts who receive no remuneration, but only discretionary gratuity from tour participants did not violate any relevant laws and regulations in Japan.

Evaluation

At the end of each tour, our customers are invited to complete an evaluation form on various aspects of our products and services to provide their comments. Our customer services and counter administration department will conduct phone interviews with randomly selected customers twice weekly to collect their feedback about the quality of our products and services. Our customers can also provide their feedback through our customer services hotlines or via our website and social media. Our tour escorts are also required to provide a tour completion report on the quality of the services of our suppliers, and the land operators and their arrangement of tours. This on-going evaluation process will enable us to continuously monitor the quality of the products and services by our suppliers and to improve our products and services.

FIT products and other travel related products and services

Our FIT department is responsible for the development, sales and operation of our FIT products. We monitor market trends, customers’ preference and the availability and pricing of air tickets and hotel accommodation and develop FIT packages which usually consist of air tickets and hotel accommodation. We also source FIT products from other travel agents in order to provide a wider choice or competitive prices for our customers.

Our customers are required to pay a deposit upon the booking of our FIT products. We will then check with the suppliers as to the availability of the products and inform our customers accordingly. Our customers are required to make full payment within three days after we have confirmed availability or immediately if departure is less than three days. For purchase of air tickets through our online sales platform, we require customers to make full payment. If the requested products are not available, we will assist our customers to consider alternative products or we will make a full refund of all money paid by our customers.

In order to satisfy the needs of our customers, we also offer ancillary travel related products and services including admission tickets to attractions, local transportation, car rental, prepaid telephone and internet cards, travel insurance and travel visa application. Our customers are

– 94 –

BUSINESS

required to make full payment upon the purchase of our ancillary travel related products or services.

EMERGENCY HANDLING POLICY

We have in place internal control policy for handling emergencies occurring at the tour destinations to minimise the risk of personal injury to our customers and damage to their personal property. Upon the occurrence of any emergency events such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, outbreak of infectious diseases, catastrophic events, issuance of any outbound travel alert or similar events posting potential threats to the safety of our customers, a crisis management command centre will be set up immediately comprising representatives from various departments, as led by the chairman of our Board and our chief executive officer to evaluate the situation and take all prompt and effective actions to cope with such emergency situation with the aim to protecting the life and property of our customers. Depending on the severity of the emergency situation, we will take such appropriate actions such as (i) cancellation of tours and make refunds to our customers in accordance with the relevant TIC directives; (ii) assisting our customers of FIT products to reschedule their itineraries subject to the cancellation policies of airlines and hotels; (iii) keeping contact with our tour escorts and land operators to ensure our customers are safe and that our customers will be afforded such assistance as may be required; (iv) keeping contact with our customers’ emergency contact persons to keep them informed; (v) adjusting itinerary of the tours to avoid going to the affected areas; (vi) contacting the insurance company to provide assistance and, if necessary, arranging for the return of our customers to Hong Kong for medical treatment; (vii) arranging with airlines for early return of our customers to Hong Kong; and (viii) informing the TIC, the TAR, the Security Bureau and Immigration Department of the Hong Kong Government and the PRC Embassy in the affected destination to coordinate and render all necessary assistance to our customers.

SALES

Sales channels

We distribute our products through various platforms including our branches and online sales platforms. Our MICE tour department is responsible for the sales of MICE tours. We also sell package tours and FIT products to other travel agents in Hong Kong and package tours to other travel agents in Macau.

We set out below a breakdown of our revenue from sales of package tours by sales channels during the Track Record Period:

BUSINESS

Note: During the Track Record Period, we offered promotional sales of our travel products through online group buying intermediaries, and during the three months ended 30 June 2016, we also offered package tours through the online sales platform at our website for booking by our customers, which generated revenue of approximately HK$5.9 million.

Branches

As at the Latest Practicable Date, we operated four branches in Hong Kong located in Shatin, Mongkok, Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay. Customers can call at our branches to make enquiries, booking and purchases of our products. Our sales representatives at our branches provide professional assistance and advice to customers to address to their needs and preferences. We leased another property unit to expand the space of our existing Shatin branch to offer a more relaxing and pleasant environment to our customers and to cope with our future operation, which commenced operation in November 2016.

We relocated our Causeway Bay branch to a larger unit in February 2015 to cope with the expansion of our operations. Save for the aforesaid, we did not relocate any of our other branches during the Track Record Period.

Online sales platforms

In April 2016, we launched an online sales platform at our website. Our existing online sales platform allows our customers to (i) check the availability and pricing of our package tours, air tickets and some of our ancillary travel related products; (ii) make booking of our package tours; (iii) make purchase of air tickets with real time confirmation; (iv) make purchase of certain ancillary travel related products; and (v) view real time information on the availability and pricing of hotel accommodation and make purchase and booking with real time confirmation by visiting our website ( www.wwpkg.com.hk ). We have engaged an independent software developer to develop and enhance our online sales platform with an integrated booking system. Our online sales platform, when fully completed, is expected to further enable our customers to (i) make purchase of “ticket plus hotel” FIT packages with real time confirmation; (ii) make full payment for, and change their booking of, package tours; and (iii) chat online with our sales representatives for assistance. Our full servicing online sales platform will be completed in the first half of 2017.

We have from time to time offered promotional sales of our travel products through online group buying intermediaries.

MICE tour department

Our MICE tour department is responsible for the design and sales of tailor-made package tours to our customers according to their special requirements and needs.

Other travel agents

We sell package tours and FIT products to other travel agents in Hong Kong and package tours to other travel agents in Macau.

Payment

For our package tours and MICE tours, we require our customers to make full payment between ten to 30 days prior to the date of departure depending on the types of tours and

– 96 –

BUSINESS

depending on whether it is non-peak or peak seasons. For cruise tours, customers are required to settle the balance 100 days before departure. We accept payment by cash, cheque (subject to clearance), electronic payment system (“ EPS ”), credit cards, PPS payment and bank remittance. If a customer decides to cancel the booking, we will charge a cancellation fee ranging from half of the deposit paid up to full payment of the tour depending on the number of days remaining prior to the departure and depending on the type of tours, and refund the balance, if any, to the customer.

For FIT products, our customers are required to make full payment within three days after we have confirmed the availability with customers or immediately if departure is less than three days. Once the booking for FIT products is confirmed, no refund will be made if it is subsequently cancelled by the customers. For purchase of air tickets through our online sales platform, we require customers to make full payment.

No refund will be made for cancellation of FIT products by customers during peak seasons. For air tickets for travelling during non-peak seasons, subject to the cancellation policies of and deductibles levied by the airlines, we will refund the balance, if any, to the customer after deducting a fixed handling fee. For hotel accommodation for occupation during non-peak seasons, we will charge a cancellation fee ranging from a fixed fee up to the full cost of accommodation depending on the number of days remaining prior to the check-in date, and refund the balance, if any, to the customer.

For our promotional sales of travel products through online group buying intermediaries, customers will make payment to the online group buying intermediaries and obtain redemption vouchers with which they can redeem our products within the specified redemption period. After the end of a redemption period, the online group buying intermediary will provide us a redemption report. Upon checking of the redemption report, we will submit our payment request to such online group buying intermediary which will then arrange payment to us.

Pricing

We generally determine the selling price of our travel products on a cost-plus basis.

For package tours, we determine the selling price based on the cost of travel elements. For Japan bound tours (except Okinawa), our major cost of travel elements include the costs of air tickets, hotel accommodation, local transportation, meals and admission tickets to attractions. For Okinawa and non-Japan tours, our major cost of travel elements include the costs of air tickets and land operator. We will also take into consideration other factors, such as market demand, historical prices of our products, price of similar products offered by our competitors, tour enrolment situation, and for Japan bound tours, the exchange rate of Japanese Yen. When determining the prices of our Japan package tours (except Okinawa), we generally will add a margin to the estimated land costs denominated in Japanese Yen when translating them to Hong Kong dollars, in order to cushion any appreciation in exchange rate before the next price review. We review the price of our package tours on a regular basis, generally twice every week.

We are required to notify and obtain approval from TIC of our package tours including the itinerary and price range before we are allowed to launch the package tours into market. If we subsequently increase the price of our tour within the price range approved by TIC, customers who

– 97 –

BUSINESS

have already booked the tour will not be required to pay the difference. If we reduce the price of the tour subsequently, we will return the difference to our customers who have made booking before the reduction of tour price. For the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016, price per person of our Japan bound package tours generally ranged from approximately HK$4,000 to approximately HK$63,000, approximately HK$4,300 to approximately HK$50,000 and approximately HK$4,500 to approximately HK$46,000 respectively, with an average of approximately HK$10,000, HK$10,000 and HK$8,900 respectively. For the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016, price per person of our non-Japan bound package tours generally ranged from approximately HK$900 to approximately HK$22,000, approximately HK$700 to approximately HK$42,000 and approximately HK$1,000 to approximately HK$37,000 respectively, with an average of approximately HK$5,000, HK$4,200 and HK$4,700 respectively.

For MICE tours, we design and prepare itinerary in accordance with customers’ requirements and determine the price on a cost-plus basis. We are not required to notify or obtain approval from TIC for MICE tours.

Seasonal factors

The travel industry business is inherently seasonal. Demand for our products will generally increase during holiday periods such as Chinese New Year, Easter, schools summer holiday in July and August and Christmas. Moreover, demand for our Japan bound tours will generally increase in October due to the “Autumn leaves” season in Japan. The prices of our products and thus our revenue are generally higher in peak seasons than low seasons. As such, our operating results are subject to fluctuations due to seasonal factors from period to period.

MARKETING AND PROMOTION

Our marketing strategy focuses on brand awareness and promotion of our products and services. Our total advertising and promotion expenses were approximately HK$5.5 million, HK$8.0 million, HK$1.6 million and HK$2.1 million for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016 respectively.

We have advertised and promoted our brand and products through a number of channels:

Media advertising

We have sponsored television travel programmes and films to increase our brand awareness and to arouse potential customers’ interests in attractions of various travel destinations. We sponsored two series of television travel programme that broadcasted in April and November 2016 respectively which have received positive review and which we believe have enhanced our brand awareness. We have also appointed the host of the television programmes as our spokesperson as part of our marketing schemes.

We place advertisements in travel magazines, newspapers and public transportation to promote our products. We also market and promote our brand and products on social media.

BUSINESS

Tourism fairs and travel seminars

We participate in tourism fairs to promote our products. We also organise travel seminars to provide information on our package tours.

Branch display

Our branches also serve as a channel for marketing of our products. Eye-catching posters are displayed at prominent areas of our branches. Flyers, brochures and leaflets with information on our products are available for our customers.

We maintain a website which hosts information about our products and services and useful travel information and tips to our customers. Customers can view and download the itineraries and price lists for our package tours and leaflets for our FIT products. We have also prepared a series of brochures introducing various travel destinations available for download by our customers.

Membership system

We launched our existing membership system in February 2016. Customers who enrol as a member will accumulate points upon purchase of our products and services. These points can be redeemed to offset the price of certain products and services. A portion of the revenue from the sales of package tours is allocated to the points based on the fair value of the points (which represents the monetary value of our services/products that can be redeemed with the points based on the rules of our membership system and estimated redemption rate). Revenue allocated to the points is deferred until the points are redeemed or expired. As at each balance sheet date, the fair value of remaining points are recorded as deferred revenue. As the amount of such deferred revenue is immaterial during the Track Record Period, no separate disclosure has been made in the Accountant’s Report. Members will receive our newsletters from time to time to keep abreast of our latest promotion, and products and services. As at the Latest Practicable Date, we had over 10,400 members.

Discounts

We may offer early-bird discounts or other promotional discounts to our customers to encourage booking of our tours. We partner with a bank in Hong Kong and offer discounts to customers who settle their purchase with the credit card issued by the bank.

SUPPLIERS

Our suppliers mainly include airlines, land operators, tour bus and other local transportation operators, hotel operators, travel agents, restaurants and attraction operators.

Purchases from our single largest supplier accounted for approximately 42.5%, 40.1% and 31.2% of our total purchases for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016 respectively, whilst purchases from our five largest suppliers accounted for approximately 54.4%, 54.0% and 43.5% of our total purchases for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016 respectively.

Note: During the Track Record Period, we did not enter into any framework agreements with the tour bus operators, except for JCS. For details, please refer to “Connected Transactions”.

During the Track Record Period, we procured the supply of tour bus service from JCS, one of the five largest suppliers during the Track Record Period and a connected person of our Company, under a service agreement to secure the stable supply of tour bus services for our tour operations in Japan. Under the service agreement, JCS committed the supply of tour bus service including four charter tour buses in Japan. The service agreement was to continue in force until terminated by mutual agreement. Our Directors confirm that during the Track Record Period, we had not breached any material terms of the service agreement. The service agreement was replaced by a services framework agreement entered into between our Group and JCS on 21 December 2016. For further details of the services framework agreement, please refer to “Connected Transactions”.

We did not enter into long-term agreement with purchase obligation with our suppliers during the Track Record Period in order to maintain flexibility in our planning of our package tours and other travel products.

Notes:

(1) Supplier Group A includes Supplier A1 and Supplier A2, both of which are airline operators based in Hong Kong. To the best of our Directors’ knowledge, Supplier A1 is an international airline and Supplier A2 is a regional airline; and Supplier A2 is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Supplier A1.

– 102 –

BUSINESS

  • (2) JCS is 100% beneficially owned by Mr. Yuen Chun Yu Adrian, who is a son of Mr. SK Yuen and Ms. Chan, our executive Directors. JCS is therefore a connected person of our Company.

Supplier Group A was our largest supplier in each of the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016. Purchases from Supplier Group A accounted for approximately 42.5%, 40.1% and 31.2% of our total purchases for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016 respectively. We sourced air tickets from Supplier Group A for our business operations. Our Directors are of the view that our substantial purchase amounts with Supplier Group A during the Track Record Period is mainly due to the following reasons:

  • (i) Supplier Group A had been the world’s third largest airline by market capitalisation according to IATA and has a track record of providing quality services. Supplier A1 has won numerous international awards including World’s Best Airline four times by Skytrax, an international air transport rating organisation; and the world’s new leading airline in terms of its safety record for two consecutive years in 2015 and 2016 by Jet Airliner Crash Data Evaluation Centre, a German organisation providing global safety analysis about commercial aviation. Supplier A2 was awarded World’s Best Regional Airline and Best Regional Airline in Asia three times by Skytrax;

  • (ii) Supplier Group A is the largest airline group based in Hong Kong which operated frequent flights to most of the destinations for which our package tours and FIT products were bound; and

  • (iii) we have established business relationship with Supplier Group A for more than 20 years and have not experienced any material non-performance by Supplier Group A which caused disruption to our operation.

For the risk associated with our reliance on Supplier Group A, please refer to “Risk Factors”.

Since Supplier Group A is a major and reputable airline, as part of our commitment for customer satisfaction, we will continue our business relationship with Supplier Group A as our major airline supplier. Despite our reliance on Supplier Group A, our Directors are of view that our business is sustainable for the following reasons:

  • (i) we have generally maintained good business relationship with Supplier Group A for over 20 years. It is expected that Supplier Group A will continue the business relationship with us. We have received top agent awards from Supplier Group A for 15 consecutive years since 2001. In light of the long established business relationship and our satisfactory performance, our Directors are of the view that the risk of Supplier Group A terminating the supply of air tickets to us is low;

  • (ii) we have maintained good business relationship with other regional and international airlines which also operate flights to destinations for which our package tours and FIT products were bound. During the Track Record Period, we also sourced air tickets from our other airline suppliers for our business operations. Apart from Supplier Group A, two airlines became our five largest suppliers for the year ended 31 March 2016. In the event of Supplier Group A terminating the supply of air tickets to us for whatever

– 103 –

BUSINESS

reasons, our Directors believe that we would be able to obtain adequate supply of air tickets necessary for our business operations from other airlines.

Other than JCS, none of our Directors or their respective close associates or any of our existing Shareholders who own more than 5% of our issued share capital, has any interest in our remaining five largest suppliers during the Track Record Period. Save for JCS, all of our other five largest suppliers during the Track Record Period are Independent Third Parties.

During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we did not experience any material non-performance by our suppliers which caused disruption to our operation.

INVENTORY

Our Group’s inventories mainly represent admission tickets to attractions and local transportation passes. We generally determine the amount of admission tickets to attractions and local transportation passes to be purchased from suppliers based on a number of factors, including the minimum purchase amount required by the respective suppliers, whether the tickets and passes are exchangeable upon expiry, whether there will be any promotion event, our historical usage and our intended level of minimum inventory balance. We will regularly review our inventory level and adjust our inventory purchases to avoid over-stocking. Our tour operations department will prepare a summary of the inventory level with the proposed procurement quantity for approval by our executive Director.

Some of the admission tickets and local transportation passes are exchangeable once for new tickets or passes in case they are not used prior to their expiry date. During the Track Record Period, we did not record any impairment of inventories.

CUSTOMERS

Our customers are mainly retail customers who purchase our package tour products, FIT products and ancillary travel related products and services. In addition, we also sell our travel products to other travel agents in Hong Kong and Macau. We set out below a breakdown of our revenue from sales of package tours by types of customers during the Track Record Period:

We do not rely on any major customers. Sales invoice amount with our five largest customers, which are mainly MICE tour customers and other travel agents, accounted for approximately 1.3%, 2.6% and 2.4% of our total sales invoice amount for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016 respectively. All our five largest customers during the Track Record Period are Independent Third Parties.

– 104 –

BUSINESS

During the Track Record Period, we procured certain FIT products from one of our five largest customers for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016, which is a travel agent located in Hong Kong (the “ Agent ”) and on the other hand, the Agent also procured package tours and FIT products from our Group. We would occasionally procure products from other travel agents when we cannot source FIT products ourselves because of the shortage of supply in the market, on urgent basis, or at better prices, and likewise for other travel agents (the “ Arrangement ”). None of our five largest customers for the three months ended 30 June 2016 was our supplier for the same period.

Sales invoice amount of our package tours and FIT products with the Agent amounted to approximately HK$0.3 million, HK$6.8 million and HK$0.1 million for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016 respectively, representing approximately 0.1%, 1.3% and 0.1% of our total sales invoice amount for the corresponding year/period. The gross margin of such sales to the Agent was approximately 12.0%, 23.6% and 2.1% for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016 respectively.

Our purchase of the FIT products from the Agent for the Track Record Period amounted to approximately HK$6.7 million, HK$7.4 million and HK$2.2 million respectively, representing approximately 1.6%, 1.8% and 2.7% of our total purchase for the corresponding year/period.

Our Directors consider that the Arrangement is a normal industry practice and is mutually beneficial to our Group and other travel agents as our Group and other travel agents could source the products or obtain at better prices.

None of our Directors or their respective close associates or any of our existing Shareholders who owns more than 5% of our issued share capital, has any interest in our five largest customers during the Track Record Period.

CREDIT POLICY

Our customers are mainly retail customers who purchase our package tours, FIT products and ancillary travel related products and services. We also sell to other travel agents, which mainly purchased FIT products from us. We generally do not extend credit to our customers.

During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we had only approved monthly billing and settlement arrangement with one travel agent after taking into consideration the years of business relationship with the travel agent, and the creditworthiness and payment history of the travel agent. We did not record any impairment of trade receivables during the Track Record Period.

CASH AND TREASURY MANAGEMENT

Cash management of payments received from customers

We require our sales representatives to hand over all cash and cheques received from customers to their respective branch supervisor or assistant branch supervisor, who will login to the tour operating system using his/her designated unique staff code and generate the receipt form with his/her staff code printed on it, and keep the cash and cheques in a safe or locked drawer. At the end of each day, the branch supervisor or assistant branch supervisor of each branch will

– 105 –

BUSINESS

ensure that all the payment received from customers (including cash and cheques) tally with the sales records maintained in our booking and sales system and the official receipts issued to customers. The cash and cheques must be deposited into our Group’s bank account on the next banking day; and a copy of the bank-in slip must be provided to our accounts department on the same day. The original bank-in slip together with other documents such as official receipts and electronic payment slips will be delivered to our accounts department on a daily basis on working days; and our accounting staff will be responsible for checking the amounts of payment received agree with that recorded in the official receipts, our bank accounts and booking and sales system.

Cash management of advances to tour escorts for tour operations

For our package tours bound for Japan (except Okinawa), we may need to settle the costs of some of the travel elements such as hotel accommodation, meals, admission tickets and local transportation by way of cash during the tour. As such, we make cash advances to our tour escorts to enable them to settle such tour operation expenses.

Within three working days prior to the departure of each tour, our accounts department will estimate the tour operation expenses based on the itinerary of each tour and will make a cash advance in Japanese Yen (“ Expense Cash ”) generally equal to 80% of the estimated tour operation expenses to our tour escort responsible for the tour, who will sign on a receipt form. When our tour escort uses the Expense Cash to settle the tour operation expenses, he/she is required to obtain original receipts for the payment. Within three working days after the tour, the tour escort is required to submit tour expenses summary sheets to our accounts department containing details of all the actual expenses he/she has settled during the tour together with all original receipts and any balance of the Expense Cash. The tour expenses summary sheets will be independently checked by two of our accounting staff and then submitted to our chief accountant for approval. If the actual tour operation expenses exceed the Expense Cash, our accounts department will reimburse the tour escort the excess amount after approval by our chief accountant. Details of all Expense Cash and balance received or excess reimbursed will be recorded in a monthly statement of cash movement log for review by our finance manager.

During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we did not make cash advance to our employees other than the aforesaid Expense Cash arrangement and we did not experience any case of misappropriation or unauthorised usage of funds by our tour escorts or employees.

Cash management of gratuity receivable by our Group and collected by tour escorts

Our tour escorts are required to return to our Group the portion of the gratuity paid by tour participants and which is receivable by us normally within three days after each tour. In the event that any tour participant has decided not to pay the recommended gratuity, our tour escort is required to request the tour participant to sign an acknowledgement that the tour participant is not willing to pay the recommended gratuity. We will record the actual amount of gratuity returned by the tour escort in gratuity log book that is counter signed by the tour escort and keep the acknowledgement signed by the tour participants. The amounts of gratuity received by the tour escort can then be ascertained and will be recorded in a separate log sheet for the individual tour

– 106 –

BUSINESS

escort. At the end of each quarter, our accounts department will refer to the log sheet for the total amount of gratuity received by the tour escort during the quarter for the purpose of determining whether any shortfall is payable to the tour escort in order to meet the minimum wage level. During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, none of our tour escorts had reported to us on any incident of our tour participants declining to pay the recommended gratuity, and we had received all gratuity receivable by us from our tour escorts.

QUALITY CONTROL

Suppliers

We believe that our ability to offer quality products and services is one of major factors for our success. We have in place stringent policy for selection of our suppliers and closely monitor the performance of our suppliers. Our executive Directors, Mr. SK Yuen and Mr. CN Yuen, and product development and marketing department will assess and evaluate our potential and existing suppliers based on their quality of services, safety standards, responsiveness and reliability.

For our Okinawa tours and non-Japan bound tours, we engage land operators to arrange the tour operation. In selecting land operators, we will make enquiries with tourism boards of the tour destinations for suitable candidates to ensure they have the requisite licence for their operation. We will then consider the land operators’ track record, any negative incidents, the contents of the travel elements and the price. We will then conduct site visits to assess their suitability. We usually select more than one land operator for each destination.

We monitor the quality of our land operators and other service providers by requiring our tour escorts to report to us any under-performance, departure from the agreed itineraries or our required standard of services and safety both during the tour and after the end of the tour by submitting to us a tour completion report.

For Japan bound tours (except Okinawa), we will select each travel elements such as hotels, restaurants and local transportation to assess their suitability based on elements such as their quality, safety, cleanliness and location.

Similarly, we monitor the quality of the products and services provided by our suppliers for Japan bound tours (except Okinawa) by requiring our tour escorts to report to us on any quality issues on the products and services provided by our suppliers during and after the end of the tour.

Recognising the importance of customer satisfaction for our continuous success, we take into account our customers’ feedback in our assessment of the quality of the products and services of our suppliers. We invite our customers to complete a detailed evaluation form at the end of the tour for their comments on various aspects of the travel elements in the tour. We also conduct phone interviews with randomly selected customers twice weekly and collect their feedback about the quality of our products and services.

Tour escorts

To ensure the safety and enjoyment of our tour participants, we have adopted stringent quality control measures on our tour escorts. Our newly recruited tour escorts are required to undergo comprehensive training on skills, knowledge of our products and services, customer care

and attention, and safety and emergency handling. Our tour escorts are also subject to continuing training and periodic appraisals.

Our freelance tour escorts are required to meet our standard of services as we would require from tour escorts employed by us. We carefully select our freelance tour escorts to ensure that they are competent to serve our customers.

We also monitor and assess the quality of our tour escorts based on our customers’ feedback obtained from the customer evaluation form, phone interviews and other channels.

We believe our on-going evaluation process will enable us to continuously monitor the quality of our products and services and to improve our products and services accordingly.

CUSTOMER CARE AND COMPLAINT HANDLING

We are committed to providing high quality products and services to our customers, and have provided various means for our customers to provide feedback and suggestion, such as customer evaluation form and phone interviews.

In addition, we maintain customer service hotlines for our customers to make enquiries and our customer services representatives will answer their enquiries in professional manner. We have also make available message boards at our website and social media for our customers to leave their comments.

Complaints

Customer satisfaction is our core value and we treat our customers’ feedback and suggestion seriously. We have in place a complaint handling system which we strive to resolve any dissatisfaction by our customer in an amicable manner acceptable to our customers.

Instead of making complaints to us directly, customers may lodge their complaints with the TIC. Our complaint handling procedures for complaints made to TIC is the same, except that we will not contact the customers directly but will strive to resolve the matters with customers via TIC, which will be the contact point for the customers and our Group.

We received 118, 139 and 31 cases of complaints in the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016 respectively from customers directly and TIC. These complaints were generally with regards to itinerary or pricing of package tours, services of tour escorts or staff, tour arrangements, quality or arrangements of ancillary travel related products or services, and other matters unrelated to our products or services. We did not receive any complaints via Consumer Council during the Track Record Period.

Our Directors are of the view that none of the complaints (including the four outstanding cases received from TIC) would have any material adverse effect on our business, results of operation or financial position.

INFORMATION SYSTEM

We utilise computerised information system such that all the booking and sales of our tours are centralised and conducted electronically. This means that all our sales representatives from different branches can check the enrolment status and availability of tours on a real time basis. The information system enables us to conduct our sales efficiently and to monitor and evaluate our business operations in a systematic and accurate manner. We have firewalls, virus protection and intrusion protection for our computerised information system.

– 110 –

BUSINESS

Our systems such as tour operating system and online sales platform were developed and maintained by third party information technology providers. We also subscribe for GDS, which enables us to check for availability of air tickets and to make booking on a real time basis. Our GDS service provider makes available the necessary equipment and software to enable us to access GDS for air tickets information and booking. Our information technology department serves as the contact point with those information technology providers for ensuring all our systems and applications are running optimally and securely.

Any interruption or termination in the services or deterioration in the performance of our GDS service provider or information technology providers may seriously disrupt our business operation, our service quality and our ability to offer our products and services to our customers. For the risks associated with our reliance on third party providers on information technology systems and services, please refer to “Risk Factors — 1. Risks relating to our Group’s business — 1.22 We rely on third party service providers on information technology systems and services”.

For the Track Record Period, the aggregate service and maintenance fees paid to our third party information technology providers were approximately HK$163,000, HK$163,000 and HK$47,000 respectively. The aggregate annual service and maintenance fees after Listing is expected to be approximately HK$373,000, of which the increment of approximately HK$210,000 represents the annual support and maintenance fees for our fully developed online sales platform after the expiry of the first year maintenance period.

As part of our goal to continue to upgrade our information system to improve our operational efficiency, we have engaged an independent software developer to develop and enhance our online sales platform with an integrated booking system. Our online sales platform, when fully developed, is expected to further enable our customers to (i) make purchase of “ticket plus hotel” FIT packages with real time confirmation; (ii) make full payment for, and change their booking of, package tours; and (iii) chat online with our sales representatives for assistance.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On 11 December 2014, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data of Hong Kong (“ PCPD ”) served an enforcement notice (the “ Enforcement Notice ”) on Worldwide Package and PTHK. According to the Enforcement Notice, PTHK and Worldwide Package contravened Principle 1 under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (“ PDPO ”) (the “ Incident ”) as follows:-

Contravention of the relevant Data Protection Principle and Description PTHK Worldwide Package Principle 1(1) N/A ✓

Excessive collection of date of birth and identity card number for the purposes of verification of members’ identity during programme application process and through reward points enquiry under the mobile application

Principle 1(3)

✓ ✓

Failed to inform the users of the mobile application (i) the purposes of use of personal data; (ii) the classes of transferees of the data; (iii) the user’s right to request access to and correction of the data; and (iv) the name or job title, and address, of the individual who is to handle any such request

Reasons for the Incident

Our Directors confirmed that it was the first time for our Group to launch programme to collect personal data and thus the management was not familiar with the compliance with the PDPO, and the design of the mobile application was outsourced to a third party which may not possess knowledge of the PDPO.

Potential maximum penalty for breach of the Enforcement Notice

Pursuant to section 50(1) of the PDPO, following the completion of an investigation, the PCPD may serve an enforcement notice in writing, directing the remedy and if appropriate, prevent any recurrence of the contravention. Under section 50(A) of the PDPO, it is an offence to contravene an enforcement notice and an offender is liable to a conviction to a fine of HK$50,000 and to imprisonment of two years and, in the case of a continuing offence, to a daily penalty of HK$1,000.

Remedial measures taken by our Group

Upon receiving the Enforcement Notice, we took remedial measures. In a letter dated 24 December 2014, we informed PCPD that, in compliance with the Enforcement Notice, we had (among others) (i) suspended the enrolment of a membership programme; (ii) removed the mobile application; and (iii) deleted and destroyed all information relating to the date of birth and identity card numbers previously collected in a membership programme. The mobile application was used merely to provide membership information to the members and the tour and travel information.

– 118 –

BUSINESS

On 18 February 2015, PCPD issued a letter (the “ Compliance Letter ”) to Worldwide Package and PTHK to confirm that the directives of the Enforcement Notice have been complied with.

Impact on our Group’s business operations and financial position

By virtue of the Compliance Letter, the Enforcement Notice had been duly complied with, and Worldwide Package and PTHK did not commit an offence under section 50 of the PDPO. Neither fine nor imprisonment was imposed on any member of our Group or any of our Directors.

Pursuant to section 66 of the PDPO, an individual who suffers damage, including injured feelings, by reason of a contravention of the PDPO in relation to his or her personal data may seek compensation from the data users concerned. Nevertheless, our Directors have confirmed that (i) the contravention has been fully rectified; and (ii) there has been no further breach of the requirement of the PDPO. Given our Directors’ above confirmations and based on the followings:

  • ‰ the Incident did not relate to unauthorised use or access of personal data;

  • ‰ our Directors confirmed that the relevant data had been removed and destroyed from our possession along with our Group’s other remedial measures which were carried out immediately upon receiving the Enforcement Notice; and

  • ‰ in view of the lapse of time,

our Company’s legal counsel as to Hong Kong law advise that the possibility of successful claims from the data subjects relevant to the Incident for substantial amount of compensation is remote.

Save as disclosed above, during the Track Record Period and as at the Latest Practicable Date, we had complied with applicable laws and regulations of Hong Kong in all material respects.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of our Group, nor any of our Directors, was subject to actual or threatened material claims or litigations which would have material impact on our business operations, financial condition or reputation.

INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT

We have in place policies and procedures in relation to internal control and risk management. Our Board is primarily responsible for overseeing our internal control and risk management system and for reviewing their effectiveness. We consider that our Directors and senior management possess the necessary knowledge and experience in overseeing good corporate governance in connection with internal control and risk management. Please refer to “Directors and Senior Management” for their qualifications and experience.

Internal control

We have established internal control system covering corporate governance, operations, management, regulatory compliance and financial matters. Our Directors believe that the current internal control system is appropriate for our business operations and risk management. Our Board

– 119 –

BUSINESS

will regularly review the administration and the adequacy of our internal control system and develop and revise our internal control system to cater for our expansion. In 2016, we have procured a detailed evaluation and review of our internal control system and have enhanced our internal control system in accordance with the findings of such review.

Risk management

During the Track Record Period, we assessed and managed our risks arising from our operations based on the experience of our management. In order to strengthen our risk management system, we have established formal risk management policies for identifying, evaluating and managing the risks faced by our Group on an on-going basis.

Our management will identify the risks associated with their day to day operations for review by our Board. The identified risks will be documented in a risk register and updated regularly. Our Board shall be responsible for evaluating and determining the nature and extent of the risks that our Board is willing to take to achieve our strategic objectives, and for formulating policies to control or manage any significant risk to an acceptable level. Our management shall implement and take day to day responsibility for Board policies on risk management.

Our Board will closely monitor and regularly review the effectiveness of our internal control and risk management system. In order to strengthen our corporate governance on internal control and risk management, we have adopted or will adopt the following measures:

  • (a) we have appointed Lego Corporate Finance Limited as our compliance adviser to advise us on compliance with the GEM Listing Rules upon Listing; and

  • (b) we will appoint an independent adviser after Listing to assist us in reviewing our internal control system on a regular basis after Listing.

Foreign exchange risk control

Our revenue was mainly denominated in Hong Kong dollars. However, the settlement of substantial portion of our land costs, such as hotel tariffs, transportation costs, meal expenses and admission ticket costs, are denominated in Japanese Yen. Such land costs included hotel accommodation, tour buses hiring, restaurants and other suppliers for our Japan bound tours (except Okinawa). We are therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk primarily with respect to Japanese Yen.

We have developed foreign exchange risk management procedures to manage our exposure to foreign exchange risk in relation to Japanese Yen. Our goal is to control our foreign exchange risk to an acceptable level by ensuring that we are able to obtain sufficient amount of Japanese Yen at acceptable exchange rate for meeting our payment obligations aroused from business operations and at the same time do not purchase unnecessary amounts of Japanese Yen more than we require. Our customers generally enrol for package tours four weeks (or up to eight weeks for peak seasons) prior to departure. Hence, we estimate land costs based on the estimated sales amount for a period of four weeks (or eight weeks during peak seasons) taking into account the actual enrolment data to ensure that such estimation is fairly accurate. We then purchase Japanese Yen

– 120 –

BUSINESS

according to such estimation. This policy enables us to determine the appropriate amount of Japanese Yen to procure in order to sufficiently cover our payment obligation while preventing us from carrying excessive cash balance of Japanese Yen, which may lead to foreign exchange loss. Our foreign exchange risk management procedures do not intend to exercise any judgement over or speculate on the future direction of foreign exchange fluctuation. Since the Japanese Yen is volatile, any speculation on the future direction of the exchange rate would subject our Group to great financial risks. Therefore, our Directors consider the appropriate foreign exchange risk control measure is to accurately estimate the land costs and limit purchases of Japanese Yen to sufficiently cover payment obligation while minimising excessive balances. Our Directors consider our foreign exchange risk control measures are in line with market practice.

We generally price our package tours on a cost-plus basis, taking into account the cost of travel elements, including the exchange rate of Japanese Yen. We review the prices of our package tours on a regular basis, generally twice every week. This allows us to timely adjust the prices of our package tours in response to any unfavourable fluctuation in the exchange rate of Japanese Yen. Further, when determining the prices of our Japan package tours (except Okinawa), we generally will add a margin to the estimated land costs denominated in Japanese Yen when translating them to Hong Kong dollars, in order to cushion any appreciation in exchange rate before the next price review. Our Directors consider that our pricing policy together with our foreign exchange risk management procedures enable us to, in the long run, effectively manage the impact of potential increase in land costs denominated in Japanese Yen caused by unfavourable fluctuation in exchange rate.

Our foreign exchange risk management procedures involve the following steps:

  1. Our tour operations department will provide to our accounts department:

  2. (i) enrolment number of our Japan bound tours in the coming week; and

  3. (ii) estimated enrolment number of our Japan bound tours for the next four weeks (or eight weeks during peak seasons).

  4. Our accounts department will then estimate costs of the travel elements payable in Japanese Yen for the Japan bound tours for the coming four weeks (or eight weeks during peak seasons), of which such cost per headcount was estimated based on the historical spending and the effect of general inflation.

  5. Upon receiving and analysing the above information and the balance of Japanese Yen on hand, our accounts department will submit a purchase request for Japanese Yen on a weekly basis to our chief financial officer, who will then review the accuracy and reasonableness of the information and determine the purchase amount and ceiling exchange rate for approval by Mr. SK Yuen. In general, the purchase amount was determined taken into account of the ceiling exchange rate, which was in turn determined based on the latest trend of Japanese Yen, and will range from approximately 50% to 100% of the estimated usage of Japanese Yen for the coming four weeks.

– 121 –

BUSINESS

  1. Upon the final purchase amount is determined and approved by Mr. SK Yuen, our accounts department will execute the purchase of the approved amount at spot rate or through one-month forward exchange contracts, subject to the approved ceiling exchange rate. The forward exchange contracts entered into by our Group are not specifically designated for hedging our exposures against any specified extent of foreign exchange gains or losses of underlying assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currency. Accordingly, the forward exchange contracts entered into by our Group are not designated as hedging instruments and do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting.

  2. Prior approval from Mr. SK Yuen is required for any deviation from the approved purchase amount or ceiling exchange rate.

  3. Our chief financial officer regularly (i) reviews the accuracy of the estimated enrolment data and corresponding costs of travel elements provided by tour operations department; (ii) reviews the reasons giving rise to the foreign exchange gain/loss recorded; and (iii) closely monitors the movement of the exchange rate and our Japanese Yen balances.

Mr. SK Yuen possessed extensive experience in the tourism industry and expertise in Japanbound travel products and has been responsible for our Group’s major decision making and overall strategic planning, including foreign exchange risk management for years. Our chief financial officer, Ms. Hon, is a qualified professional accountant with extensive accounting and auditing experience and also has gained knowledge on treasury and foreign exchange management policy of listed company during her course in past employment. Our Directors believe that by adopting the above procedures, our exposure to foreign exchange risk can be properly managed to an acceptable level.

At present, we are mainly exposed to foreign exchange risk in relation to Japanese Yen. Our Directors will regularly monitor our foreign exchange risk and should they find our exposure to foreign exchange risk in respect of other currencies increases, we will adopt such risk management measures with respect to other currencies to ensure that our exposure is kept to an acceptable level.

SUSTAINABILITY OF OUR BUSINESS

Notwithstanding that our Group’s results of operation and financial condition for the year ending 31 March 2017 are expected to be adversely impacted by certain factors as mentioned in “Summary — Recent developments and material adverse change”, our Directors believe that our business is sustainable based on the following reasons:

Our long established track record, our brand awareness and our well-maintained business relationship with suppliers

With a track record of 37 years, we are one of the long-established and well known travel agents in Hong Kong. Our executive Directors, Mr. SK Yuen and Ms. Chan have over 36 years of experience and Mr. CN Yuen has over 10 years of experience in the travel industry. Our Directors believe that we are, and have always been, capable of understanding and adapting to our customers’ needs. We have a proven record of providing quality products and services to our

BUSINESS

customers by designing comprehensive tour itineraries. We have been promoting our brand awareness through various marketing channels including but not limited to sponsorship of television travel programmes and films, advertisements on newspapers, travel magazines and public transportation. All of these have made us stood out in the travel service industry in Hong Kong. This is proven by our established market presence. As stated in the CH Report, we were the second largest travel agent in Hong Kong in terms of number of travellers for package tours bound for Japan in 2015, and ranked eighth with 2.6% market share in terms of number of travellers for outbound package tours amongst the travel agents in Hong Kong that provided outbound package tours in 2015.

We intend to apply part of the net proceeds from the Share Offer for, among others, advertisements in various media channels including television, travel and life style magazines, Internet and public transportation, and marketing campaigns such as television travel programmes and film sponsorship, which we believe will help further promote our brand awareness, and in turn will boost our business performance in both short and long run.

Apart from our continuous effort in promoting our package tour services, we will continue to devote in the development and enhancement of our online sales platform. We have engaged an independent software developer to develop and enhance our online sales platform with an integrated booking system. Our online sales platform, when fully developed, is expected to further enable our customers to (i) make purchase of “ticket plus hotel” FIT packages with real time confirmation; (ii) make full payment for, and change their booking of, package tours; and (iii) chat online with our sales representatives for assistance. We believe the development and enhancement of our online web portal will create greater flexibility and extent of convenience to customers and in turn enhance our competitiveness.

For details of our business strategies and future plans, please refer to “— Strategies” above and “Future Plans and Use of Proceeds”.

According to the CH Report, maintaining good suppliers’ network, such as airline companies, hotel operators and land operators, is one of the key factors of success for travel agents. Having stable suppliers’ network and relationship can ensure stable supply and reliable services from the suppliers. We have maintained long term business relationship of more than 14 years with some of our major airline suppliers and we are allocated with block seats to ensure there are sufficient seats for our tour operations. We have enjoyed good business relationship with other suppliers including land operators and bus operators. We have also maintained long term business relationship with some of our land operators for at least 10 years. We are of the view that our established good business relationships with suppliers can minimise the risk of shortage of quality supplies and also maintain the quality of our services, which in turn ensure the stable operation of our business.

Continuous growth of market size and market opportunities

According to the CH Report, it is expected that the revenue of outbound package tours in Hong Kong will increase at a CAGR of approximately 6.1% from 2016 to 2020. Our revenue generated from package tours bound for Japan accounted for approximately 78.1%, 84.4%, 84.9% and 86.5% of our total revenue of package tours for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and

– 123 –

BUSINESS

the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016 respectively. As stated in the CH Report, the total revenue from package tours bound for Japan from Hong Kong has been increasing from 2011 to 2015 and is projected to grow steadily at around 6.0% annually from 2016 to 2020. According to the CH Report, outbound travelling has become part of a lifestyle for many Hong Kong residents who are always on the lookout for relief from their stressful lifestyles. Moreover, the higher spending power of Hong Kong travellers will drive the growth of the size of the travel industry in Hong Kong. The growth of market size will in turn benefit our Group’s business growth. Low-cost carrier flights are rapidly emerging in the airline industry. Their relatively lower prices help lower the costs of sales of package tours. In addition, new flight destinations offered by airlines can further expand our tour destinations so as to enhance the diversity of our products. For instance, one of our air flight suppliers launched direct flights from Hong Kong to three new destinations in Japan, namely Ishigaki, Takamatsu and Kagoshima, in June and July 2016. It has also been adding extra daily flights to certain areas in Japan from Hong Kong. Our Directors believe the above drivers are beneficial to the industry in Hong Kong, particularly to travel agents who arrange package tours bound for Japan, and create business opportunities to us.

There had also been various measures implemented by the Ministry of Finance of Japan regarding consumption tax in Japan. For instance, (i) since 1 October 2014, the number of items eligible for tax exemption by tourists in Japan have been increased to include consumables including medicine, food and cosmetics from designated shops; and (ii) the tax exemption procedure can be conducted at a one-stop counter on behalf of groups of shops in shopping streets and malls since April 2015. Our Directors consider that the above factors will continue to contribute to the higher demand for travelling to Japan. Further, Japan National Tourist Organisation targets to attract 20 million tourists a year by 2020 when it hosts the Olympic Games in Tokyo. This includes promoting tourism for the 2020 Olympics and beyond, putting in place plans to expand the inbound market, simplifying entry procedures such as relaxing visa requirements, cultivating hidden regional tourism resources, promoting a welcoming environment for international visitors and developing the meetings and incentives market. Our Directors believe the local civil and infrastructure development will further enhance the attractiveness of Japan, which will help drive the number of Hong Kong travellers travelling to Japan and in turn promote our sales.

Our ability to respond to adversities

As disclosed in “Risk Factors”, inherent in the travel industry, our operation is vulnerable to interruption and damage from natural disasters, acts or threats of terrorism, wars, travel-related accidents, outbreak of contagious or infectious disease, political instability or other catastrophic events. Moreover, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk, particularly in relation to Japanese Yen. Changes in the foreign exchange rate between Japanese Yen and Hong Kong dollars would affect our Group’s operating performance as well as our financial position. Further, the travel industry is sensitive to the economic cycle of the Hong Kong economy, which may be affected by the global economic condition. Although such events and changes may unfavourably affect our business performance and financial position, our Directors are of the view that such adverse events and changes are isolated events or cyclical and shall not have a long term impact.

In the past ten years, our Group encountered adverse economic environment and events which would affect our business operation and results, including but not limited to the global financial crisis in 2007 and 2008, worldwide outbreak of H1N1 flu epidemic in 2009, the Great East Japan

– 124 –

BUSINESS

Earthquake occurred in 2011 and the appreciation of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollar which reached its 10-year peak in 2011. Nevertheless, our Group had been profit-making in each year during the past ten years, save for the years ended 31 March 2010, 2011 and 2012.

Our Directors advised that the net losses for the three years ended 31 March 2012 were largely due to the appreciating Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars which took on an upward trend from June 2007 to February 2012. The financial performance of our Group for the year ended 31 March 2012 was further affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake which occurred in March 2011. The degree and extent of damage caused by the earthquake and resulting tsunami were enormous. Red outbound travel alert was issued for the entire Japan in March 2011. Our suppliers, including airlines and hotel operators in Japan, had lowered the air fares and hotel room rates swiftly in response to the dramatic drop in number of foreign visitors to Japan month-on-month in March 2011 by approximately 48.1% and in April 2011 by approximately 16.1%. As a result, our Group was able to achieve a higher gross profit margin for the year ended 31 March 2012 as compared to that for the year ended 31 March 2011, despite the impact of the earthquake and the Japanese Yen exchange rate reaching its ten years peak around August 2011 to February 2012. In fact, the net loss for the year ended 31 March 2012 was significantly less than that for the year ended 31 March 2011, despite a material drop in revenue.

Attributable to the gradually decreasing exchange rate of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars since February 2012, our Group achieved further improvement in the gross profit margin and successfully turned around to record a net profit for the year ended 31 March 2013.

Our Directors believe that although our business is sensitive and vulnerable to adversities, our historical financial performance and position and our established market presence have demonstrated our ability to respond to adversities and to minimise their impact on our Group, so as to remain as a key player in the travel industry in Hong Kong.

Strong and healthy financial position

Our Group consistently recorded net assets position as at each year end of the past ten financial years. As at 31 March 2015 and 2016 and 30 June 2016, our total assets reached approximately HK$92.2 million, HK$95.7 million and HK$101.3 million respectively and net assets amounted to approximately HK$38.0 million, HK$61.3 million and HK$53.4 million respectively. Our liquidity remained healthy with net current assets of approximately HK$35.5 million, HK$56.3 million and HK$47.5 million as at 31 March 2015 and 2016 and 30 June 2016, which represented current ratio of approximately 1.7 times, 2.7 times and 2.0 times respectively. Our Group maintained minimal gearing throughout the Track Record Period. We had cash and cash equivalents of approximately HK$76.9 million as at 30 June 2016. Our Directors believe that the strong and healthy financial position will sustain our business operation and our growth.

Counteractive measures against adverse conditions

In order to compensate for the detrimental financial results for the three months ended 30 June 2016 and with a view to improving our profitability, we have taken or will take the following counteractive measures to alleviate the adverse impacts brought about by the continuous

– 125 –

BUSINESS

appreciation of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars and the intense competition within the industry:

  • ‰ One of the main reasons for the significant decline in our revenue for the three months ended 30 June 2016 was the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake that occurred in April 2016. Kumamoto Prefecture is located in Kyushu, being one of the most popular tour destinations of our Group in Japan in terms of number of customers during the Track Record Period. After the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake, the Kyushu Tourism Promotion Organisation has co-ordinated a campaign for the purpose of restoring Kyushu tourism industry by offering government funded rebate on accommodation in Kyushu of up to 70% from July to September 2016 and up to 50% from October to December 2016. We have correspondingly designed and promoted our Kyushu tours with new itineraries and new hotel accommodation with the view to recouping the decrease in demand for Kyushu tours, and have achieved satisfactory results. Since July 2016, the number of customers joining our Kyushu tours has gradually picked up, and the aggregate number of customers enrolled for our Kyushu tours departed in September and October 2016 increased by approximately 137.1% as compared to that for September and October 2015. We have received hotel accommodation rebate from the prefecture governments of Kyushu in the amount of approximately HK$1.6 million for July to November 2016 and are expected to receive further rebate of approximately HK$294,000 for December 2016 based on the enrolment data up to the Latest Practicable Date. With the rebate, the gross profit margin of our Kyushu tours between July and December 2016 is expected to be higher than that for June 2016 after tours resumed. Based on the unaudited financial information of our Group, the average gross margin of our Kyushu tours for July to October 2016 is higher than that for June 2016 by approximately 2.1 percentage points. Furthermore, we were invited and have participated as the only participating travel agent, in the “Touch the Kyushu” Fair instigated by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan, as part of their recovery campaigns, held between late September and early October 2016 in Hong Kong to promote our Kyushu tours, which we believe have positive effect on our brand reputation and increased the sales of our Kyushu tours.

  • ‰ We will focus on further developing new itineraries for existing tour destinations which are different or less commonly available from our competitors to differentiate our products from them instead of engaging in price competition with the view to improving our profitability. We have developed and launched several package tours to Japan and South Korea with new itineraries for the Autumn and Winter seasons, and more are being planned including a new excursion train tour in Osaka. Moreover, as part of our plan to develop new destinations, we had been in discussion with our major airline supplier to develop a regular route to a new destination in Japan. As a result of our discussion, our major airlines supplier has proposed to operate scheduled charter flight to Komatsu, Japan initially for the period between mid-April and end-June 2017 departing twice a week with routing (i) departing for and returning from Komatsu, (ii) departing for Komatsu and returning from Nagoya and (iii) departing for Nagoya and returning from Komatsu. The routing combination will enable us to develop new itineraries for Hokuriku area and Chubu area. Based on the number of flight seats we are requesting

– 126 –

BUSINESS

and the historical prices of our Nagoya tours, we expect to generate total sales of over HK$10 million from package tours taking on this new route for the initial period.

  • ‰ In addition, we will increase our marketing efforts to promote the sales of MICE tours and signature tours which generally have higher gross profit margins. We will contact and prepare customised travel plans and itineraries based on customers’ specific preferences to our previous MICE tour customers with a view to encouraging recurring purchases from them and establishing a loyal customer base. As a result of such efforts, the invoiced sales amount of MICE tours for April to November 2016 has increased by approximately 68.8% as compared to the same period in 2015, with the number of tours also increased by approximately 47.8%. We will also develop a range of signature tours such as luxurious hot spring, Michelin gourmet and exotic experience tours and formulate promotion targeting our previous and potential customers with higher spending power or willingness to spend on travel products with the view to increase the sales of signature tours thereby increasing our revenue and profitability. For instance, we have designed a luxurious five-days hot spring and gourmet tour departing on the day following the Chinese New Year of 2017 with our spokesperson as a guest tour participant at the tour price of approximately HK$80,000 per person. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the tour has received satisfactory enrolments. Our Directors believe that such tour would raise the awareness and popularity of our signature tour products. Our Directors further believe that such focus will also aid in building a loyal customer base as well as enhancing our brand reputation.

  • ‰ The television travel programme sponsored by us and broadcasted in April 2016 received positive review and enhanced our brand awareness. Following the success of the television travel programme, we have sponsored the second series of the television travel programme which was broadcasted in November 2016, which also received positive review. We have appointed the host of the television programmes as our spokesperson, which we believe will further increase our brand awareness and help to generate consumer preference and to foster brand loyalty.

  • ‰ We have launched a two-year digital marketing campaign in August 2016 to promote our brand and travel products through various online social medium and search engines to reach out to a wider spectrum of potential customers with links to our website where customers can conveniently view our travel products information and make booking of our package tours. The digital marketing campaign will also enable us to analyse data on customers’ behaviour and interests, customer cycle and other useful information such that we will be able to target our marketing efforts to specific interests groups and develop package tours accordingly.

  • ‰ We will negotiate with our major suppliers including airlines and hotel operators with a view to reducing their price so as to lower our cost of sales and increase our gross profit margin. In September 2016 and December 2016, our largest supplier agreed to a reduction in their price for air tickets to several destinations in Japan effective from 13 September 2016 until 25 January 2017 and from 3 February 2017 until 30 March

It is estimated that our monthly air fare savings for these destinations between September 2016 to March 2017 would range between 18.3% and 34.9%.

  • ‰ Our online sales platform is being developed and will be launched in stages. Since April 2016, our customers are able to make booking of package tours through our online sales platform. For the three months ended 30 June 2016, revenue from the sales of package tours through our online booking system accounted for approximately 7.3% of our total revenue from sales of package tours for the same period. Supplemented by the launching of our digital marketing campaign which will direct online inquiry to our website, our Directors believe that we will be able to increase our market share for online travel purchases thereby increasing our revenue. The air tickets module of our online sales platform was launched in August 2016 and the hotel module was launched in December 2016 and will be further enhanced, after which we will be able to offer convenient and real time buying experience for our FIT products comparable to that being offered by other online agencies and booking platforms of airlines and hotels, which will increase our competitiveness in the FIT products market and enable us to capture the rapid growth of the FIT products market. In December 2016, we have entered into a long-term affiliate agreement with one of the world’s leading travel intermediaries, under which the travel intermediary will supply hotel inventories to us and our customers could select and purchase accommodation in more than 280,000 hotels worldwide through our online sales platform. Given our online sales platform will be able to offer such wide range of products (i.e. package tours, FIT products and ancillary travel related products and services), it will satisfy most of the travel needs of our customers as a one-stop shop. This will distinguish us from most of the online agencies and booking platforms of airlines and hotels which generally only offer air ticket and/or hotel booking.

Our Directors are of the view, and the Sole Sponsor concurs, that the above counteractive measures will effectively alleviate the adverse effects brought about by the continuous appreciation of Japanese Yen and keen market competition, and to improve the profitability of our Group amid such adverse conditions. As a result of the recent downward trend of the exchange rate of Japanese Yen and the counteractive measures, we have seen improvements in our business performance recently.

Our Directors believe that the Listing will enhance our Group’s corporate image and reputation as well as further strengthen our market position in the travel industry in Hong Kong. According to the CH Report, the reputation of a travel agent is one of the major considerations for Hong Kong travellers. The Listing status will help advertise our Group to potential customers and enhance our corporate profile and credibility with the public and business partners. This in turn will strengthen our competitiveness and benefit our business performance and growth.

Based on the above, our Directors are of the view that our Group’s business is sustainable.

RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDERS

OUR CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDERS

Immediately following the completion of the Share Offer and the Capitalisation Issue (without taking into account any Shares which may be allotted and issued pursuant to the exercise of any options which may be granted under the Share Option Scheme), our Company will be owned as to 75% by WWPKG Investment, which is in turn owned as to 68.02%, 23.42% and 8.56% by Ms. Chan, Mr. SK Yuen and Mr. CN Yuen respectively. WWPKG Investment will control over 30% of the issued share capital of our Company. Ms. Chan and Mr. SK Yuen, as spouses, have in the past been managing and operating our business collectively and reaching consensus before making major decisions in respect of our Group’s business. Ms. Chan and Mr. SK Yuen confirm that they will continue to act jointly upon Listing so far the voting rights of our Company are concerned. In addition, as Mr. CN Yuen indirectly holds his interests in our Company together with Ms. Chan and Mr. SK Yuen through the common investment vehicle (i.e. WWPKG Investment), he is presumed to be a Controlling Shareholder. As such, each of Ms. Chan, Mr. SK Yuen, Mr. CN Yuen and WWPKG Investment will be regarded as a Controlling Shareholder and they will comprise a group of Controlling Shareholders upon Listing.

Neither of our Controlling Shareholders, our Directors nor their respective close associates has any interest in any business, apart from the business operated by members of our Group, that competes or is likely to compete, directly or indirectly, with the business of our Group and would require disclosure pursuant to Rule 11.04 of the GEM Listing Rules.

INDEPENDENCE FROM OUR CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDERS

Management independence

Although our Controlling Shareholders will retain controlling interest in our Company upon completion of the Share Offer, the day-to-day management and operation of the business of our Group will be the responsibility of our executive Directors and senior management of our Group. Our Board has six Directors comprising three executive Directors and three independent nonexecutive Directors. With three independent non-executive Directors out of a total of six Directors in our Board, there will be sufficient independent voice within our Board to protect the interests of our independent Shareholders.

Each of our Directors is aware of his or her fiduciary duties as a Director which require, among other things, that he/she (i) acts for the benefit of and in the best interests of our Shareholders and our Company as a whole; and (ii) does not allow any conflict between his or her duties as a Director and his or her personal interests to affect the performance of his or her duties as a Director. In the event that there is a potential conflict of interest arising out of any transaction to be entered into between our Group and our Directors or their respective close associates, the interested Director(s) will abstain from voting at the relevant board meetings of our Company in respect of such transaction and will not be counted in the quorum.

Having considered the above factors, our Directors are satisfied that our Board, as a whole and together with our senior management, is capable of managing our Group’s business independently from our Controlling Shareholders.

– 130 –

RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDERS

Operational independence

Our Group has established our own organisational structure made up of individual departments, each with specific areas of responsibilities. We have sufficient operational resources, such as sales and marketing and general administration resources to operate our business independently. Our Group has also established a set of internal control measures to facilitate the effective operation of our business. We are the holders of all relevant licences and qualifications material to our business.

Save as disclosed in “Connected Transactions”, our Group does not currently have any intention to enter into any other transactions with our Controlling Shareholders and/or their close associates and, if such event happens in the future, the connected transactions/continuing connected transactions will be conducted in compliance with the GEM Listing Rules. Though there will be continuing connected transactions between our Group and the close associates of our Controlling Shareholders after Listing, these transactions are entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of our Group on terms which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of our Company and our Shareholders as a whole, and our Directors are of the view that alternative services and premises are available if necessary. Accordingly, our Directors do not consider that there is any material reliance by our Group on the Controlling Shareholders or their close associates.

Financial independence

We have our own accounting and finance department and independent financial system, and we make financial decisions according to our business needs. In view of our Group’s internal resources and the estimated net proceeds from the Share Offer, our Directors believe that our Group will have sufficient capital for our financial needs without dependence on our Controlling Shareholders or their close associates.

As at 30 November 2016, our Group had an overdraft facility of HK$10.0 million and a revolving loan facility of HK$6.0 million, which were secured by, among others, personal guarantees by Mr. SK Yuen and Ms. Chan, our executive Directors and Controlling Shareholders. Given our amount of cash and cash equivalents on hand, such banking facilities were obtained mainly for emergency purposes and we had never drawn down any bank borrowings during the Track Record Period. These personal guarantees, together with all other guarantees provided by our Controlling Shareholders and their close associates for our Group’s banking facilities, will be fully released upon Listing and will be replaced by a corporate guarantee given by our Company. Accordingly, our Directors further believe that, upon Listing, our Group is capable of obtaining financing from external sources independently without the support of our Controlling Shareholders.

In view of the abovementioned, our Directors consider that our Group will be financially independent from our Controlling Shareholders and/or any of their respective close associates.

DEED OF NON-COMPETITION

On 16 December 2016, our Controlling Shareholders (each a “ Covenantor ” and collectively, the “ Covenantors ”) entered into the Deed of Non-competition in favour of our Company (for

as its corporate headquarters. The relevant historical rents paid by our Group to Sky Right under the lease for the Track Record Period were approximately HK$1.8 million, HK$1.8 million and HK$0.5 million respectively.

– 138 –

CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Tenancy Agreements

The PTHK Premises and the Worldwide Package Premises (collectively the “ Premises ”) have been occupied by our Group as its offices. Having considered the rentals of comparable offices in the nearby location, and the relocation costs which our Group may incur if we move out of the Premises, our Directors consider that it is desirable and in the interests of our Company and our Shareholders as a whole to continue using the Premises as offices as it allows us to maintain the stable operation of our Group.

Our Directors confirm that the leases of the Premises during the Track Record Period were (i) conducted on normal commercial terms; (ii) carried out in our Group’s ordinary and usual course of business: and (iii) fair and reasonable, and in the interests of our Group and our Shareholders as a whole.

2. Provision of reservation services in Japan

Background and principal terms

During the Track Record Period, Y’s provided reservation services (the “ Reservation Services ”) to our Group, which include reservation of (i) hotels; (ii) restaurants; and (iii) theme parks and vacation spots in Japan (except for Okinawa). We use the Reservation Services provided by Y’s for our Group’s package tours and booking hotel accommodation for FIT customers from time to time. The relevant historical transaction amounts payable by our Group to Y’s for the provision of the Reservation Services for the Track Record Period were approximately HK$2.6 million, HK$2.4 million and HK$647,000 respectively, representing approximately 0.6%, 0.6% and 0.8% of our Group’s total purchases during the corresponding periods. The service fee paid during the Track Record Period was fixed at JPY36 million per annum. The fluctuation in the transaction amounts was solely due to the fluctuation in the exchange rate between JPY and HKD.

On 21 December 2016, Y’s entered into a services framework agreement (the “ Y’s Services Framework Agreement ”) with PTHK to supersede the framework agreement entered into between our Group and Y’s dated 1 January 2012 in relation to the Reservation Services, pursuant to which Y’s agreed to provide, on a non-exclusive basis, the Reservation Services.

Pursuant to the Y’s Services Framework Agreement, the service charge shall be fixed at JPY3 million per month which was agreed at arm’s length negotiations between our Group and Y’s taking into consideration the estimated administration cost that our Group may incur should we carry out such function on our own. Our Group shall pay the fees at the end of each calendar month. Our Directors confirmed that the transactions with Y’s during the Track Record Period were (i) conducted on normal commercial terms; (ii) carried out in our Group’s ordinary and usual course of business; and (iii) fair and reasonable, and in the interests of our Group and our Shareholders as a whole.

The term of the Y’s Services Framework Agreement will commence on the Listing Date and expire on 31 March 2019 (both dates inclusive).

– 139 –

CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Y’s Services Framework Agreement

Y’s has been providing the Reservation Services to our Group since January 2012. Taking into account (i) that it is more efficient for a local team to liaise with the suppliers in Japan; (ii) the costs, time and resources required to identify and select another reservation agent; (iii) that either party may terminate the Y’s Services Framework Agreement by serving a notice of not less than 30 days to the other; and (iv) the stable business relationship between Y’s and our Group, our Directors consider that the entering into of the Y’s Services Framework Agreement would allow our Group to enjoy the stable supply of Reservation Services for our business.

Annual caps for the three financial years ending 31 March 2019

Our Directors estimate that the annual fees under the Y’s Services Framework Agreement payable by our Group for each of the three financial years ending 31 March 2019 will not exceed HK$2.9 million. In determining the annual caps, our Directors have considered (i) the fixed monthly service fee set out in the Y’s Services Framework Agreement; and (ii) the buffer for appreciation in the value of JPY against HKD.

3. Provision of event organising services

Background and principal terms

During the Track Record Period, HCNY provided event organising services to our Group (the “ Organising Services ”), which included provision of venue and refreshments for consumption by participants of our tour tea gatherings and travel seminars. The relevant historical transaction amounts paid by our Group to HCNY for the provision of the Organising Services for the Track Record Period were approximately HK$0.4 million, HK$0.3 million and HK$66,000 respectively, representing approximately 0.1%, 0.1% and 0.1% of our Group’s total purchases during the corresponding periods. The payment amounts were determined based on a fixed fee per participant times the number of expected participants estimated by our Group. The amount decreased from the year ended 31 March 2015 to the year ended 31 March 2016 was in line with the decrease in the number of participants of our tour tea gatherings and travel seminars.

On 21 December 2016, HCNY entered into a services framework agreement (the “ HCNY Services Framework Agreement ”) with PTHK, pursuant to which HCNY agreed to provide the Organising Services for the tour tea gatherings and travel seminars organised by our Group from time to time.

Pursuant to the HCNY Services Framework Agreement, the service charge shall be a fixed fee per participant times the number of expected participants which was agreed at arm’s length negotiations between our Group and HCNY with reference to the cost of provision of the Organising Services by HCNY, including the costs of refreshments. Our Group shall pay the charges upon receipt of the invoice.

CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

Reasons for and benefits of entering into the HCNY Services Framework Agreement

HCNY has been providing the Organising Services for the tour tea gatherings and travel seminars organised by our Group since November 2000. Taking into account (i) that there is limited supply of similar service providers in the market; (ii) that our Group can save manpower and resources for arranging tour tea gatherings and travel seminars; and (iii) the stable business relationship between HCNY and our Group, our Directors consider that the entering into of the HCNY Services Framework Agreement would allow our Group to enjoy the stable supply of Organising Service for our business.

Annual caps for the three financial years ending 31 March 2019

Our Directors estimate that the annual fees under the HCNY Services Framework Agreement payable by our Group for each of the three financial years ending 31 March 2019 will not exceed HK$0.4 million.

CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

(the “ Tour Bus Services ”). The relevant historical transaction amounts paid by our Group to JCS for the provision of the Tour Bus Services for the Track Record Period were approximately HK$12.3 million, HK$13.6 million and HK$3.8 million respectively, representing approximately 2.8%, 3.2% and 4.6% of our Group’s total purchases during the corresponding periods. The amounts increased from the year ended 31 March 2015 to the year ended 31 March 2016 mainly due to the increased number of our customers to the regions in Japan which we normally procured the Tour Bus Services from JCS.

On 21 December 2016, JCS entered into a services framework agreement (the “ JCS Services Framework Agreement ”) with PTHK to supersede the framework agreement entered into between our Group and JCS dated 1 January 2012 in relation to the Tour Bus Services, pursuant to which JCS agreed to provide, on a non-exclusive basis, the Tour Bus Services as requested by our Group from time to time.

Pursuant to the JCS Services Framework Agreement, the service charges shall be determined at arm’s length negotiations between our Group and JCS with reference to the then prevailing market rate of similar services and that in any event shall be no less favourable to our Group than that offered by Independent Third Parties and not less than the applicable minimum rate as calculated with reference to the formula for charter bus fees as specified by the relevant government authority in Japan. Our Group shall pay the fees upon receipt of the invoice. Our Directors confirmed that the transactions with JCS during the Track Record Period were (i) conducted on normal commercial terms; (ii) carried out in our Group’s ordinary and usual course of business; and (iii) fair and reasonable, and in the interests of our Group and our Shareholders as a whole.

The term of the JCS Services Framework Agreement will commence on the Listing Date and expire on 31 March 2019 (both dates inclusive).

Reasons for and benefits of entering into the JCS Services Framework Agreement

JCS has been providing the Tour Bus Services to our Group since January 2012 for our Group’s Japan bound tours (except Okinawa). Taking into account (i) the costs, time and resources required to identify and select new tour bus service provider; (ii) that either party may terminate the JCS Services Framework Agreement by serving a notice of not less than 30 days to the other; and (iii) the stable business relationship between JCS and our Group, our Directors consider that the entering into of the JCS Services Framework Agreement would allow our Group to enjoy the stable supply of Tour Bus Services for our business.

Annual caps for the three financial years ending 31 March 2019

Our Directors estimate that the annual fees under the JCS Services Framework Agreement payable by our Group for each of the three financial years ending 31 March 2019 will not exceed HK$15.3 million, HK$16.0 million and HK$17.1 million respectively.

In determining the annual caps, our Directors have considered (i) the historical transaction amounts; (ii) the projected increase in demand for the services compared to the Track Record Period, commensurate with the expected growth of the business of our Group; and (iii) the buffer for appreciation in the value of JPY against HKD.

CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

Under the GEM Listing Rules, the transactions contemplated under the JCS Services Framework Agreement will be subject to the reporting, annual review, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules.

WAIVER APPLICATION FOR THE NON-EXEMPT CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTION

As the continuing connected transaction under the JCS Services Framework Agreement described above are expected to continue on a recurring basis following completion of the Share Offer, which have been entered into prior to the date of Listing and fully disclosed in this prospectus and have been and will be entered into and are conducted in the ordinary and usual course of our Group’s business and on normal commercial terms that are beneficial to our Company and our Shareholders as a whole and are fair and reasonable, the Directors consider that strict compliance with the announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under the GEM Listing Rules would be impracticable, unduly burdensome and would add unnecessary administrative costs to our Company each time when such transaction arises.

Accordingly, our Company, pursuant to Rule 20.103 of the GEM Listing Rules, has applied to the Stock Exchange for and the Stock Exchange has granted waivers from strict compliance with the announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements in respect of the continuing connected transaction described above for the three years ending 31 March 2019, provided that the annual transaction amounts in respect of such continuing connected transaction do not exceed the respective annual caps.

The following discussion and analysis contains certain forward-looking statements that reflect the current views with respect to future events and financial performance. These statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by our Group in light of our Group’s experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors our Group believes are appropriate under the circumstances.

OVERVIEW

We are one of the long-established and well-known travel agents in Hong Kong. Our major business is the provision of outbound package tours with particular focus in Japan bound tours. Apart from Japan, we offered package tours to other destinations including South Korea, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Dubai and Australia during the Track Record Period. In addition to outbound package tours, we also sell FIT products and ancillary travel related products and services.

For the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016, our Group recorded revenue of approximately HK$461.5 million, HK$452.6 million, HK$118.3 million and HK$82.4 million respectively, and net profit of approximately HK$16.3 million, HK$23.3 million, HK$11.0 million and net loss of approximately HK$7.9 million respectively.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Pursuant to the Reorganisation, our Company became the holding company of the subsidiaries now comprising our Group on 5 July 2016. The relevant steps of the Reorganisation are detailed in “History, Reorganisation and Development”. As the Reorganisation has not resulted in any change of ultimate control of our group companies, the Combined Financial Information of our Group has been prepared using the principles of merger accounting.

Our Combined Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the HKFRSs and applicable disclosures requirements of the GEM Listing Rules and the Companies Ordinance. Our Combined Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is our functional and presentation currency.

Details regarding the basis of presentation and preparation of our Combined Financial Information are set out in notes 1 and 2 to the Accountant’s Report.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

KEY FACTORS AFFECTING OUR GROUP’S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our Group’s results of operations are subject to the influence of numerous factors, the principal of which are set out below:

Conditions in the major destinations of our travel products and services

Our business could be adversely affected by the occurrence of various catastrophic events at the major destinations of our travel products and services, such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, travel related accidents and contagious diseases which cannot be predicted or controlled by our Group. Occurrence of such catastrophic events could result in adverse conditions in the affected regions and bring significant adverse effect to overall customers’ sentiment of travelling to those particularly affected regions, which could in turn materially and adversely affect our revenue which is primarily derived from the sales of package tours. Accordingly, the occurrence of catastrophic events at the major destinations of our travel products and services could bring material and adverse effect on our profitability and our results of operation.

Changes in economic conditions in Hong Kong

We derive a majority of our revenue from outbound travellers in Hong Kong and any downturn in the economy of Hong Kong could have a material adverse effect to our business and operating results. Future change in economic conditions in Hong Kong may adversely affect the level of disposable income available and the portion of disposable income spent on travel products for people in Hong Kong, which would in turn affect the demand for travel products and services offered by our Group and then affect our business operations and financial conditions.

Market competition and changing market conditions

We operate in the travel service industry in Hong Kong. According to the CH Report, there were 1,756 licensed travel agents in Hong Kong as at the Latest Practicable Date, 560 of which engage in the wholesale and/or operation of package tours. The ten largest licensed travel agents engaging in the wholesale and/or operation of package tours in Hong Kong accounted for over 75% market share in terms of number of Hong Kong travellers who joined package tours in 2015. As our major business is the provision of package tour service, we mainly compete with other licensed travel agents in Hong Kong which offer package tour service to their customers. We also face competition from airlines and other travel agents in and outside of Hong Kong, which offer similar products and services directly to customers or over the Internet. If we are unable to offer quality travel services to meet our customers’ demands and changing needs in a timely manner in response to changing market conditions or consumer preferences and taste, we may not be able to maintain our competitiveness in the industry and our market share, which could in turn materially and adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results.

Changes in our major operating costs

We generally determine the selling price of our travel products on a cost-plus basis. Our major operating costs include airfare costs, hotel tariffs and land operator costs, which together accounted for approximately 84.7%, 84.8%, 83.3% and 81.9% of our cost of sales for the years

– 157 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016 respectively, of which airfare costs alone accounted for approximately 53.1% of our cost of sales for each of the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and approximately 48.1% and 40.0% of our cost of sales for the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016 respectively. In addition to the cost of travel elements, we would also take into account other factors, such as our historical pricing, market demand, prices of similar products offered by our competitors, tour enrolment situation and the exchange rate of Japanese Yen, when we determine the price of our package tour products.

If our major operating costs increase and we are unable to pass on such increment to our customers through adjustment of the selling prices of our package tours in a timely manner, our business, financial condition and results of operation could be materially and adversely affected. Please refer to “— Sensitivity and breakeven analyses” for the sensitivity analysis of the impact of hypothetical changes in our major operating costs on our profit or loss for each financial year/ period during the Track Record Period.

Fluctuation of foreign exchange rate

During the Track Record Period, we derived a majority of our revenue from the sales of travel products bound for Japan. Our receipts from customers are denominated in Hong Kong dollars while the settlement of substantial portion of our land costs, such as hotel tariffs, transportation costs, meal expenses and admission ticket costs, are denominated in Japanese Yen. The difference in the exchange rates at which the payables are recorded and finally settled may give rise to transactional foreign currency exchange gain or loss. Moreover, certain of our financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, deposits and other receivables, trade payables and amounts due to related companies, are denominated in Japanese Yen and are therefore subject to translation difference at year-end exchange rates. Accordingly, we are exposed to foreign currency risk mainly aroused from transactions, assets and liabilities denominated in Japanese Yen. If there is significant fluctuation in the exchange rate of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars, being the functional and presentation currency in our Combined Financial Information, we could experience material fluctuation in our land costs and incur material exchange differences in our combined statements of comprehensive income, which could in turn materially and adversely affect our financial conditions and results of operation. Any appreciation of Japanese Yen impacts both the demand (i.e. demand from cost-conscious customers will decrease) and cost (i.e. land costs denominated in Japanese Yen will increase) side of our Group’s business, which will lead to the shrinking of our gross profit margin.

For details regarding the historical exchange rate of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars, please refer to “Industry Overview — Trend of Hong Kong dollars versus JPY”.

For details regarding our Group’s policy on foreign exchange risk control, please refer to “Business — Internal control and risk management — Foreign exchange risk control”.

In general, without taking into account of seasonality effects, when the exchange rate of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars increases, sales volume and the average selling prices of package tours bound for Japan of our Group would decrease. The table below sets forth the correlation of the change of average exchange rate of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars and the average selling price and average sales volume of package tours bound for Japan of our Group

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Critical accounting policies and estimates refer to those accounting policies and estimates that entail significant uncertainty and judgement, and could yield materially different results under different conditions and/or assumptions. The preparation of our Combined Financial Information in conformity with the HKFRSs requires our management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The methods and approach that we use in determining these items is based on our experience, the nature of our business operations, the relevant rules and regulations and the relevant circumstances. These underlying assumptions and estimates are reviewed regularly as they may have a significant impact on our operational results as reported in our Combined Financial Information included elsewhere in this prospectus. Below is a summary of the significant accounting policies in accordance with the HKFRSs that we believe are important to the presentation of our Combined Financial Information and involve the need to make estimates and judgements about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We also have other policies, judgements, estimates and assumptions that we consider as significant, which are set out in detail in notes 2 and 4 to the Accountant’s Report.

Package tours

Our revenue from sales of package tours mainly represents the fees received from customers for our package tours. During the Track Record Period, we generated the majority of our revenue from the sales of package tours which amounted to approximately HK$451.1 million, HK$443.9 million, HK$116.5 million and HK$80.3 million for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016 respectively, and accounted for approximately 97.7%, 98.1%, 98.5% and 97.5% of our total revenue for the corresponding year/period.

During the Track Record Period, we provided package tours bound for Japan, South Korea, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Dubai and Australia. Since our major business is the provision of package tours with particular focus in Japan bound tours, our revenue from the sales of Japan bound package tours accounted for approximately 78.1%, 84.4%, 84.9% and 86.5% of our revenue from sales of package tours for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016 respectively.

Notes:

(2) Other countries during the Track Record Period included Dubai and Australia.

Our revenue from sales of package tours slightly decreased by approximately 1.6% from approximately HK$451.1 million for the year ended 31 March 2015 to approximately HK$443.9 million for the year ended 31 March 2016. The decrease was mainly due to the decline of revenue from sales of package tours bound for other destinations by approximately HK$29.4 million for the year ended 31 March 2016 as compared to the year ended 31 March 2015, the effect of which was partially offset by the increase in revenue from sales of package tours bound for Japan by approximately HK$22.2 million for the year ended 31 March 2016 as compared to the year ended 31 March 2015.

The decrease in revenue from sales of package tours bound for other destinations was mainly due to the outbreak of the Middle East respiratory syndrome (“ MERS ”) in South Korea in May 2015, which resulted in the significant decrease in revenue from the sales of package tours bound for South Korea by approximately HK$33.8 million from approximately HK$68.2 million for the year ended 31 March 2015 to approximately HK$34.4 million for the year ended 31 March 2016.

On the other hand, our Group recorded a growth in revenue from the sales of package tours bound for Japan from approximately HK$352.5 million for the year ended 31 March 2015 to approximately HK$374.7 million for the year ended 31 March 2016, which partially offset the decrease in revenue from sales of package tours bound for other destinations. The exchange rate of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars had remained relatively weak at below HK$0.07:JPY1 since November 2014 and during the year ended 31 March 2016. There had also been various measures implemented by the Ministry of Finance of Japan regarding consumption tax in Japan, for instance, (i) since 1 October 2014, the number of items eligible for tax exemption by tourists in

– 163 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Japan have been increased to include consumables including medicine, food and cosmetics from designated shops; (ii) the consumption tax hike to 10% has been postponed from 1 October 2015 to 2019; and (iii) tax exemption procedure can be conducted at a one-stop counter on behalf of groups of shops in shopping streets and malls since April 2015. Our Directors believe that the above factors, coupled with the outbreak of MERS in South Korea in May 2015 had contributed to the higher demand for travelling to Japan during the year ended 31 March 2016, which in turn led to the growth in our revenue from the sales of package tours bound for Japan for the year ended 31 March 2016 as compared to the year ended 31 March 2015.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, our Directors consider that the growth of our revenue from sales of package tours bound for Japan for the year ended 31 March 2016 was restrained by the aggressive marketing campaigns and promotion programmes of online agencies and booking platforms of airlines and hotels during the financial year.

Our revenue from sales of package tours decreased from approximately HK$116.5 million for the three months ended 30 June 2015 to approximately HK$80.3 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016, representing a decrease of approximately 31.1%. The decrease was mainly due to (i) the decline of revenue from sales of package tours bound for Japan by approximately HK$29.4 million; and (ii) the decrease in revenue from sales of package tours bound for other destinations by approximately HK$6.7 million.

In April 2016, a strong earthquake measuring a maximum of 7 on the Japan Meteorological Agency seismic intensity scale occurred in Kumamoto Prefecture in Kyushu, Japan, being one of the most popular tour destinations of our Group in Japan in terms of number of customers during the Track Record Period. Such earthquake, named the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake, was the first intensity-7 earthquake since the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 2011 and was the strongest earthquake ever recorded in Kyushu since the establishment of Japan Meteorological Agency. The earthquake has caused adverse conditions in Kumamoto Prefecture and its surrounding areas, including extensive damages and suspension of public transportation system. Our Directors believe that the earthquake has resulted in adverse impact on customers’ sentiment and their demand for travelling to the affected regions in Kyushu.

The decline of revenue from sales of package tours bound for Japan for the three months ended 30 June 2016 was mainly due to (i) the negative impact of the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake occurred in April 2016; (ii) the fact that the continued appreciation of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars 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 our package tours bound for Japan; and (iii) that in view of the decreased in demand and the fierce industry competition, we adjusted downward the selling prices of our package tours bound for Japan in order to attract customers, which has also exerted pressure on our revenue from sales of package tours.

Our Group’s revenue from sales of package tours bound for non-Japan destinations decreased by approximately 38.3% from approximately HK$17.5 million for the three months ended 30 June 2015 to approximately HK$10.8 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016. The decrease was mainly attributable to the significant decrease in revenue from the sales of package tours

– 164 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

bound for South Korea, China and Taiwan by approximately HK$6.0 million from approximately HK$15.3 million for the three months ended 30 June 2015 to approximately HK$9.3 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016. Our Directors believe that the decrease in revenue was mainly due to (i) the earlier timing of the Easter holidays in late March in 2016 as compared to the Easter holidays in April in 2015; and (ii) the downward price adjustment of our package tours bound for destinations other than Japan in view of the intense competition within the industry.

FIT products

Our FIT products generally include air tickets, hotel accommodation and a combination of both. Our revenue from the sales of FIT products is recognised on net basis as we render the services as an agent, whereby we are only responsible for arranging the booking of air tickets and accommodations. Accordingly, our revenue from the sales of FIT products represents the net income, being the sales invoice amount of the FIT products netted with the associated direct costs, such as the costs of the air tickets and/or hotel accommodation.

For the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016, our revenue from the sales of FIT products amounted to approximately HK$4.4 million, HK$4.0 million, HK$1.0 million and HK$0.8 million respectively, representing approximately 1.0%, 0.9%, 0.8% and 0.9% of our total revenue for the corresponding year/period. During the Track Record Period, most of our FIT products were bound for Japan which accounted for approximately 82.0%, 86.2%, 81.3% and 80.6% of our revenue from FIT products for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016 respectively.

Note: Other destinations during the Track Record Period mainly included South Korea, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and India, etc.

Our revenue from sales of FIT products bound for Japan remained stable at approximately HK$3.6 million and HK$3.5 million for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 respectively, whereas our revenue from sales of FIT products bound for other destinations decreased from approximately HK$0.8 million for the year ended 31 March 2015 to approximately HK$0.6 million for the year ended 31 March 2016 mainly due to the outbreak of the MERS in South Korea in May 2015, which resulted in the decrease in revenue from the sales of FIT products bound for South Korea from approximately HK$0.4 million for the year ended 31 March 2015 to approximately HK$0.1 million for the year ended 31 March 2016.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Our revenue from sales of FIT products bound for Japan decreased from approximately HK$0.8 million for the three months ended 30 June 2015 to approximately HK$0.6 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016, representing a decrease of approximately 25.0%, which was mainly due to (i) the continuous appreciation of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars; and (ii) the aggressive marketing campaigns and promotion programmes launched by the online agencies and booking platforms of airlines and hotels which reduced the demand of our customers for our FIT products bound for Japan.

Ancillary travel related products and services

We also offer ancillary travel related products and services to our customers, which mainly include travel insurance, admission tickets to attractions, local transportation, car rentals, prepaid telephone and internet cards and travel visa application. Similar to revenue from the sales of FIT products, our revenue from the sales and provision of ancillary travel related products and service is recognised on net basis. Accordingly, our revenue from the sales and provision of ancillary travel related products and services mainly represents (i) the commission from insurance company for the sales of travel insurance to our customers; and (ii) the net income from sales of other ancillary travel related products, being the relevant sales invoice amount netted with the associated direct costs.

For the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016, our revenue from the sales and provision of ancillary travel related products and services amounted to approximately HK$6.0 million and HK$4.7 million respectively, representing approximately 1.3% and 1.0% of our total revenue for the corresponding years. The decrease in our revenue from the sales and provision of ancillary travel related products and services was mainly attributable to the decrease in margin income for the sales of travel insurance from approximately HK$5.6 million for the year ended 31 March 2015 to approximately HK$4.3 million for the year ended 31 March 2016 primarily as a result of the outbreak of the MERS in South Korea in May 2015.

Our revenue from the sales and provision of ancillary travel related products and services increased from approximately HK$0.8 million for the three months ended 30 June 2015 to approximately HK$1.3 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016, representing an increase of approximately 62.5%. The increase was mainly attributable to increase in the income for the sales of travel insurance from approximately HK$0.8 million for the three months ended 30 June 2015 to approximately HK$1.1 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016 primarily due to (i) the increment in selling prices of the travel insurance; and (ii) the increase in sales volume of the travel insurance due to enhancement in the coverage of the insurance policy.

For the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016, our cost of sales was approximately HK$387.9 million, HK$369.4 million, HK$93.2 million and HK$71.6 million respectively, representing approximately 84.1%, 81.6%, 78.8% and 86.9% of our revenue for the corresponding year/period. The decrease in our cost of sales were generally in line with the decrease in our revenue during the Track Record Period.

Below is the description and analysis of the major components in our cost of sales for the Track Record Period.

Airfare costs

Airfare costs represent the costs paid or payable to airlines and ticketing agents for securing air tickets for our package tours. During the Track Record Period, airfare costs were the largest component of our cost of sales, which amounted to approximately HK$205.9 million, HK$196.1 million, HK$44.9 million and HK$28.6 million for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016 respectively, and represented approximately 45.6%, 44.2%, 38.5% and 35.6% of our revenue from the sales of package tours for the corresponding year/period respectively.

The decrease in our airfare costs from the year ended 31 March 2015 to the year ended 31 March 2016 was mainly attributable to (i) the comparatively more use of low-cost carrier for our package tours bound for Japan during the year ended 31 March 2016 as compared to the year ended 31 March 2015; and (ii) the overall decrease in our sales of package tours bound for destinations other than Japan for the year ended 31 March 2016 as compared to the year ended 31 March 2015.

The decrease in our airfare costs from the three months ended 30 June 2015 to the three months ended 30 June 2016 was mainly attributable to (i) the comparatively lower airfare

– 167 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

charged by the airlines due to their promotion programmes during the three months ended 30 June 2016 as compared to the three months ended 30 June 2015; (ii) the comparatively wider use of low-cost carrier for our package tours bound for Japan during the three months ended 30 June 2016 as compared to the corresponding period in 2015; and (iii) the overall decrease in the sales of package tours for the three months ended 30 June 2016 compared to the corresponding period in 2015.

Hotel tariffs

Hotel tariffs represent the costs of hotel accommodation for our package tours bound for Japan (except Okinawa). During the Track Record Period, hotel tariffs were the second largest component of our cost of sales, which amounted to approximately HK$78.8 million, HK$84.4 million, HK$23.7 million and HK$22.5 million for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016 respectively. Hotel tariffs represented approximately 22.4%, 22.5%, 23.9% and 32.4% of our revenue from the sales of package tours bound for Japan for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016 respectively. The increase in our hotel tariffs from the year ended 31 March 2015 to the year ended 31 March 2016 was largely attributable to (i) the increase in sales of our package tours bound for Japan for the year ended 31 March 2016 as compared to the year ended 31 March 2015; and (ii) the generally higher hotel room rate in Japan during the year ended 31 March 2016 as compared to the previous financial year due to increase in demand for travelling to Japan. Such effect was partially mitigated by the generally weaker exchange rate of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars during the year ended 31 March 2016 as compared to the previous financial year.

The increase in our hotel tariffs as a percentage to our revenue from sales of package tours bound for Japan from the three months ended 30 June 2015 to the three months ended 30 June 2016 was mainly attributable to (i) the stronger exchange rate of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars during the three months ended 30 June 2016 as compared to the corresponding period in 2015; and (ii) the continued increase in hotel room rates in Japan.

Land operator costs

For our package tours bound for Okinawa and other non-Japan destinations, we engage land operators to arrange for local travel elements based on our specifications and requirements, including hotel accommodation, meals, local transportation and activities. Our land operator costs mainly represent the costs paid or payable to land operators for such tour arrangements. Our land operator costs also included the cost of reservation services provided by a related company to our Group, which included reservation of hotels, restaurants and theme parks and vacation spot, for our package tours bound for Japan.

Our land operator costs decreased from approximately HK$43.8 million for the year ended 31 March 2015 to approximately HK$32.8 million for the year ended 31 March 2016. Such decrease was generally in line with decrease in sales of our package tours for destinations other than Japan for the year ended 31 March 2016 as compared to the year ended 31 March 2015.

Our land operator costs decreased from approximately HK$9.1 million for the three months ended 30 June 2015 to approximately HK$7.5 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

mainly due to the decrease in the sales of package tours bound for non-Japan destinations. However, the land operator costs for the three months ended 30 June 2016 as a percentage of the revenue from sales of non-Japan package tours for the period was higher than that for the corresponding period in 2015, which was mainly due to relatively higher price charged by land operators in the three months ended 30 June 2016 as compared to the three months ended 30 June 2015.

Transportation costs, meal expenses and admission ticket costs

The other major components in our cost of sales included transportation costs, meal expenses and admission ticket costs, which mainly represent (i) the costs of local transportation and arranging of car rental services; (ii) the expenses paid or payable to local restaurants in arranging meals; and (iii) the expenses for theme park and amusement park tickets respectively, for our package tours bound for Japan (except Okinawa).

Notwithstanding the increase in our sales of package tours bound for Japan for the year ended 31 March 2016 as compared to the year ended 31 March 2015, our transportation costs, meal expenses and admission ticket costs were maintained at relatively stable proportions to our total cost of sales at approximately (i) 8.6% and 8.4%; (ii) 3.6% and 3.7%; and (iii) 2.9% and 2.8% for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 respectively, mainly due to the generally weaker exchange rate of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars during the year ended 31 March 2016 as compared to the previous financial year.

Our transportation costs, meal expenses and admission ticket costs were maintained at relatively stable proportions to our total cost of sales at approximately (i) 9.3% and 10.3%; (ii) 4.1% and 4.1%; and (iii) 3.1% and 3.5% for the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016 respectively notwithstanding the decrease in the sales of package tours bound for Japan for the three months ended 30 June 2016 as compared to the corresponding period in 2015, mainly due to the stronger exchange rate of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars during the three months ended 30 June 2016 as compared to the corresponding period in 2015.

Cost structure by currency

Note: For the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016, the gross profit margin (excluding unallocated costs of approximately HK$801,000 and HK$782,000 respectively) of (i) package tours bound for Japan was approximately 15.4% and 18.0% respectively; and (ii) package tours bound for other destinations was approximately 9.8% and 11.5% respectively. For the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016, the gross profit margin (excluding unallocated costs of approximately HK$187,000 and HK$142,000 respectively) of (i) package tours bound for Japan was approximately 20.7% and 11.0% respectively; and (ii) package tours bound for other destinations was approximately 16.6% and 11.2% respectively.

For the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016, we recorded gross profit of approximately HK$73.6 million, HK$83.2 million, HK$25.1 million and HK$10.8 million respectively, representing an overall gross profit margin of approximately 15.9%, 18.4%, 21.2% and 13.1% for the corresponding year/period. The growth of our overall gross profit and gross profit margin from the year ended 31 March 2015 to the year ended 31 March 2016 were mainly driven by the increased gross profit and gross profit margin of sales of our package tours.

The decline of the overall gross profit and gross profit margin from the three months ended 30 June 2015 to the three months ended 30 June 2016 were mainly driven by the decrease in gross profit and gross profit margin of the sales of package tours due to the reasons as discussed in paragraphs headed “Revenue” and “Cost of sales” in “— Description and analysis of principal items in the combined statements of comprehensive income”.

Our gross profit from the sales of package tours grew from approximately HK$63.2 million for the year ended 31 March 2015 to approximately HK$74.5 million for the year ended 31 March 2016, resulting in an increase in its gross profit margin from approximately 14.0% to 16.8% for the corresponding years. Such increase was primarily driven by (i) the decrease in airfare costs mainly due to the comparatively more use of low-cost carrier for our package tours bound for

Japan during the year ended 31 March 2016; and (ii) the relatively stable transportation costs, meal expenses and admission ticket costs incurred for our package tours bound for Japan (except Okinawa) mainly due to the generally weaker exchange rate of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars during the year ended 31 March 2016 as compared to the previous financial year.

Our gross profit from the sales of package tours decreased from approximately HK$23.2 million for the three months ended 30 June 2015 to approximately HK$8.7 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016, resulting in a decrease in gross profit margin from approximately 20.0% to 10.9% for the corresponding periods. Such decrease was primarily due to (i) the stronger exchange rate of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars during the three months ended 30 June 2016 as compared to the corresponding period, resulting in the increase in hotel tariffs, transportation costs, meal expenses and admission ticket costs for Japan bound package tours; and (ii) the downward adjustments on the selling prices of package tours bound for Japan and non-Japan destinations in view of the fierce industry competition.

Other income and other gains/(losses), net

For the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016, our Group recorded (i) other income of approximately HK$0.2 million, HK$1.2 million, HK$0.5 million and HK$26,000 respectively, which mainly consisted of referral income and subsidy income; and (ii) other net gains/(losses) of approximately HK$(3.6) million, HK$1.2 million, HK$0.2 million and HK$0.7 million respectively, which mainly consisted of net exchange gains/(losses), net fair value gains/(losses) on derivative financial instruments and gain/(loss) on disposal of property, plant and equipment.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

million for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 respectively. The increase in rebate and commission income for the year ended 31 March 2016 was mainly attributable to a bonus rebate from an online flight booking platform (our GDS service provider) as an incentive for our Group to increase utilisation of their online booking system. We are not subject to any minimum purchase commitment under the respective agreement with our online flight and hotel booking platforms service providers or operators (including our GDS service provider) and will not be required to pay any penalty for failing to make any purchase.

For the year ended 31 March 2016, our Group’s subsidy income of approximately HK$0.7 million mainly represented the subsidies provided by the government of Aichi Prefecture of Japan to travel agents for organising tours to the prefecture.

We recorded (i) net exchange losses of approximately HK$1.6 million for the year ended 31 March 2015 and net exchange gains of approximately HK$1.1 million, HK$0.2 million and HK$0.6 million for the year ended 31 March 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016 respectively mainly in respect of our Group’s assets and liabilities denominated in Japanese Yen; and (ii) fair value losses of approximately HK$1.9 million and HK$76,000 for the year ended 31 March 2015 and for the three months ended 30 June 2015 respectively and fair value gains of approximately HK$20,000 and HK$18,000 for the year ended 31 March 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016 respectively in respect of the forward exchange contracts entered into by our Group with a view to manage exchange rate exposures in relation to the settlement of land costs denominated in Japanese Yen. The net exchange losses and fair value losses on forward exchange contracts were primarily attributable to the generally depreciating trend of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars during the year ended 31 March 2015 and the three months ended 30 June 2015. Net exchange gains and fair value gains on forward exchange contracts were recorded for the year ended 31 March 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016, mainly because Japanese Yen has started to appreciate against Hong Kong dollars since January 2016, resulting in a strengthened exchange rate of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars as at 31 March 2016 and 30 June 2016 as compared to the beginning of the financial year/period.

Our Group’s selling expenses increased from approximately HK$14.8 million for the year ended 31 March 2015 to approximately HK$18.4 million for the year ended 31 March 2016 and from approximately HK$4.3 million for the three months ended 30 June 2015 to approximately HK$4.7 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016 primarily due to the increase in our advertising and promotion expenses.

Below is the description and analysis of the major components in our selling expenses for the Track Record Period.

Advertising and promotion

Our Group advertises and promotes our brand and products through a number of channels, such as sponsoring television travel programmes and films, placing advertisements in travel magazines, newspapers and public transportation, participating in tourism fairs, organising travel seminars and distributing flyers, brochures and leaflets. Advertising and promotion expenses represented the largest component of our selling expenses during the Track Record Period. For the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016, our advertising and promotion expenses amounted to approximately HK$5.5 million, HK$8.0 million, HK$1.6 million and HK$2.1 million respectively. The increase in our advertising and promotion expenses from the year ended 31 March 2015 to the year ended 31 March 2016 was mainly due to our strengthened marketing efforts by increasing advertisement on public transportation and television. The increase in the expenses from the three months ended 30 June 2015 to the three months ended 30 June 2016 was mainly due to our sponsorship of a travel programme on a major television channel broadcasted during the three months ended 30 June 2016 while there was no such sponsorship and thus no expenses incurred in the three months ended 30 June 2015.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Credit card and debit card charges

In addition to cash payment, our Group also accepts other payment methods from customers for our travel products, such as EPS and credit cards. Accordingly, we also incur credit card and debit card charges in respect of payments from customers with credit cards and EPS. Our credit card and debit card charges remained stable at approximately HK$4.2 million for each of the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016.

Our credit card and debit card charges slightly decreased from approximately HK$1.1 million for the three months ended 30 June 2015 to approximately HK$0.9 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016, mainly attributable to the decrease in revenue from sales of our products.

Rental and related expenses

Our Group’s rental and related expenses in selling expenses mainly represented the rentals for our branches, which amounted to approximately HK$3.2 million and HK$4.0 million for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 respectively. The increase in our rental and related expenses was primarily due to the relocation of our Causeway Bay branch to a larger unit in the same building in February 2015 to cope with our operations, which resulted in higher rentals for the branch. Our Group’s rental and related expenses increased from approximately HK$1.0 million for the three months ended 30 June 2015 to approximately HK$1.1 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016 mainly due to the progressive rental increment pursuant to certain tenancy agreements of branches.

Staff costs

Our staff costs in selling expenses mainly represented the staff costs incurred for our tour escorts. The amount increased from approximately HK$0.4 million for the year ended 31 March 2015 to approximately HK$0.7 million for the year ended 31 March 2016 mainly as a result of decrease in tours to South Korea and also the gratuity received by our tour escorts during the year ended 31 March 2016 due to the outbreak of MERS in South Korea in May 2015, which in turn resulted in an increase in amount of shortfall we paid to our tour escorts to satisfy the minimum wage requirement in Hong Kong. Our staff costs in selling expenses increased from approximately HK$157,000 for the three months ended 30 June 2015 to approximately HK$214,000 for the three months ended 30 June 2016, mainly due to the decreases in package tours departed and so as the gratuity received by our tour escorts during the three months ended 30 June 2016, which increased the shortfall we need to paid to our tour escorts in order to satisfy the minimum wage requirement in Hong Kong.

Below is the description and analysis of the major components in our administrative expenses for the Track Record Period.

Staff costs

Our staff costs in administrative expenses mainly represented Directors’ remuneration and the salaries and benefits for our administrative and general staff. Staff costs represented the largest component of our administrative expenses during the Track Record Period. The amount slightly increased from approximately HK$25.6 million for the year ended 31 March 2015 to approximately HK$27.6 million for the year ended 31 March 2016 mainly as a result of the increase in headcount of our administrative and general staff, such as the additional management staff for our finance and accounting function and human resources function, and the salary increment for the year ended 31 March 2016. Such effect was partially offset by the decrease in our Directors’ remuneration from approximately HK$6.8 million for the year ended 31 March 2015 to approximately HK$4.3 million for the year ended 31 March 2016. Our staff costs in administrative expenses increased from approximately HK$6.0 million for the three months ended 30 June 2015 to approximately HK$7.0 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016 mainly

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

due to the continuous effect of the increase in headcount of our administrative and general staff at managerial level and the salary increment in the year ended 31 March 2016 as mentioned above.

Rental and related expenses

Our Group’s rental and related expenses in administrative expenses mainly represented the rentals, rates and management fees for our office premises. The amount remained stable at approximately HK$4.0 million for each of the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016. Our rental and related expenses in administrative expenses remained relatively stable for the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016 respectively.

Office, telecommunication and utility expenses

For the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016, our Group recorded office, telecommunication and utility expenses of approximately HK$1.9 million, HK$2.1 million, HK$0.4 million and HK$0.3 million respectively, which mainly represented various corporate expenses incurred in our daily operations, such as office supplies, telephone, Internet, printing, computer expenses, electricity and cleaning expenses. The increase in our office, telecommunication and utility expenses was mainly attributable to the increase in our staff headcount during the year ended 31 March 2016.

Legal and professional fees

Our Group’s legal and professional fees for the Track Record Period mainly represented the fees for general legal services, company secretarial services, corporate tax services and business consulting services. The amount remained stable at approximately HK$0.7 million for each of the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016. Our legal and professional fees increased from nil for the three months ended 30 June 2015 to approximately HK$0.2 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016 mainly due to the general legal advisory fee for review of contracts and content of online sales platform on our website.

The increase in our net finance costs was mainly attributable to the additions of motor vehicles in late 2014 and during the year ended 31 March 2016 under finance lease arrangements and the finance costs remained stable for the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016 respectively.

Our Group’s operations are based in Hong Kong and we are subject to Hong Kong profits tax calculated at 16.5% on the estimated assessable profits for the Track Record Period.

For the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016, our Group recorded income tax expense of approximately HK$3.3 million and HK$5.1 million respectively, representing an effective tax rate of approximately 17.0% and 17.9% for the corresponding years. Such slight increase in our Group’s effective tax rate was mainly due to the non-deductible Listing expenses recognised for the year ended 31 March 2016. Our income tax expense turned around from income tax expense of

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

approximately HK$2.2 million for the three months ended 30 June 2015 to income tax credit of approximately HK$0.4 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016 mainly attributable to the operating loss of approximately HK$2.6 million (excluding the Listing expenses of approximately HK$5.7 million) recognised by our Group for the three months ended 30 June 2016, representing an effective tax rate of approximately 16.5%.

Deferred income tax expense of approximately HK$27,000, HK$191,000 and HK$50,000 were recognised by our Group in respect of the temporary differences arising from depreciation of property, plant and equipment for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2015 respectively. Deferred income tax credit of approximately HK$423,000 was recognised by our Group for the three months ended 30 June 2016, which was mainly aroused from the recognition of the tax loss (excluding Listing expenses) of approximately HK$2.6 million for the same period. As at 31 March 2015, 31 March 2016 and 30 June 2016, our Group had (i) deferred income tax assets of approximately HK$244,000, HK$102,000 and HK$525,000 respectively; and (ii) deferred income tax liabilities of nil, approximately HK$49,000 and HK$49,000 respectively.

Our Group had no tax obligation arising from other jurisdictions during the Track Record Period. Our Directors confirm that, during the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, our Group had no material dispute or unresolved tax issues with the relevant tax authority.

LISTING EXPENSES

Our Directors are of the view that the financial results of our Group for the year ending 31 March 2017 are expected to be adversely affected by the Listing expenses in relation to the Share Offer, the nature of which is non-recurring. The total Listing fees in relation to the Share Offer, primarily consisting of fees paid or payable to professional parties and underwriting fees and commission, are estimated to be approximately HK$21.6 million (based on the mid-point of the indicative Offer Price range of HK$0.6 per Share and 100,000,000 Offer Shares). Among the estimated total Listing fees, (i) approximately HK$6.5 million is expected to be accounted for as a deduction from equity upon Listing; and (ii) approximately HK$15.1 million is expected to be recognised as expenses in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of which approximately HK$1.2 million and HK$5.7 million had been recognised for the year ended 31 March 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016, respectively and the remaining of approximately HK$8.2 million is expected to be recognised for the nine months ending 31 March 2017.

Our Directors would like to emphasise that the amount of the Listing expenses is a current estimate for reference only and the final amount to be recognised in the consolidated financial statements of our Group for the year ending 31 March 2017 is subject to adjustment based on audit and the then changes in variables and assumptions.

Prospective investors should note that the financial performance of our Group for the year ending 31 March 2017 is expected to be adversely affected by the estimated non-recurring Listing expenses mentioned above, and may or may not be comparable to the financial performance of our Group in the past.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our Group’s principal liquidity and working capital requirements primarily relate to our operating costs, and prepayment and deposits to our suppliers to secure tours and FIT related services. As most of our customers are retail customers who are required to settle their fees for tours and FIT products before we render our services and/or deliver our products, we have historically funded our liquidity and working capital requirements principally with cash generated from our operations. We also funded our capital expenditures mainly with cash generated from our operations and finance lease arrangements. Going forward, we expect to fund our working capital and other liquidity requirements with a combination of various sources, including but not limited to cash generated from our operations, banking facilities, the net proceeds from the Share Offer as well as other external equity and debt financing.

Throughout the Track Record Period, we had net cash inflows from our operating activities. As at 30 June 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately HK$76.9 million, of which approximately HK$73.4 million, HK$3.3 million and HK$0.2 million are denominated in Hong Kong dollars, Japanese Yen and other currencies respectively.

Cash flows in operating activities

Our Group recorded net cash inflows from operating activities of approximately HK$1.2 million and HK$23.1 million for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 respectively. The lower amount of our net cash inflows from operating activities for the year ended 31 March 2015 as compared to the year ended 31 March 2016 was principally attributable to (i) the lower operating profits for the year ended 31 March 2015 as compared to the year ended 31 March 2016; and (ii) the increase of trade deposits paid to our suppliers at the end of the year ended 31 March 2015 by approximately HK$12.5 million as compared to the beginning of the financial year, mainly for the deposits for air tickets and theme park and train tickets as at 31 March 2015 primarily as a result of the increase in enrolment for tours as at 31 March 2015 for the Easter holidays in early April 2015 and the deposits paid for charter flights reserved for the promotional air tickets sold through online group buying intermediaries during the first quarter of 2015.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Our Group recorded net cash inflows from operating activities of approximately HK$13.9 million and HK$7.7 million for the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016 respectively. The lower amount of our net cash inflows from operating activities for the three months ended 30 June 2016 as compared to the three months ended 30 June 2015 was principally attributable to (i) the operating loss for the three months ended 30 June 2016 as compared to the operating profit for the three months ended 30 June 2015; (ii) the increase in accrued Listing expenses; and (iii) the increase of advanced receipts from customers at the end of the three months ended 30 June 2016 by approximately HK$8.2 million as compared to that of the three months ended 30 June 2015, mainly as a result of the earlier timing of the Easter holidays in late March in 2016 as compared to the Easter holidays in April in 2015.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Our net current assets increased from approximately HK$35.5 million as at 31 March 2015 to approximately HK$56.3 million as at 31 March 2016 mainly due to the decrease in advanced receipts from customers in our accruals and other payables by approximately HK$19.6 million, which in turn resulted in the decrease in our current liabilities from approximately HK$53.3 million as at 31 March 2015 to approximately HK$33.5 million as at 31 March 2016.

Our net current assets decreased from approximately HK$56.3 million as at 31 March 2016 to approximately HK$47.5 million as at 30 June 2016 mainly due to (i) the increase in advanced receipts from customers in our accruals and other payables by approximately HK$8.2 million; (ii) the increase in accrued Listing expenses in our accruals and other payables by approximately HK$4.0 million; and (iii) the increase in trade payables of approximately HK$2.0 million, which in turn resulted in the increase in our current liabilities from approximately HK$33.5 million as at 31 March 2016 to approximately HK$47.0 million as at 30 June 2016. Such effect was mitigated by the increase in our current assets by approximately HK$4.7 million from approximately HK$89.8 million as at 31 March 2016 to approximately HK$94.5 million as at 30 June 2016 mainly due to the increase in cash and cash equivalents by approximately HK$5.3 million.

Based on our unaudited combined management accounts, our net current assets decreased from approximately HK$47.5 million as at 30 June 2016 to approximately HK$38.5 million as at 30 November 2016 mainly due to (i) the decrease in our cash and cash equivalents by approximately HK$25.3 million; and (ii) the increase in our accruals and other payables by approximately HK$16.9 million, which was mitigated by the increase in prepayments, deposits and other receivables by approximately HK$34.5 million.

For details regarding the major items affecting our net current assets during the Track Record Period, please refer to “— Description and analysis of principal items in the combined statements of financial position” below.

DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS OF PRINCIPAL ITEMS IN THE COMBINED STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL POSITION

The following is the management discussion and analysis on the principal items in our combined statements of financial position as at 31 March 2015, 31 March 2016 and 30 June 2016.

Property, plant and equipment

As at the Latest Practicable Date, we had seven leased properties in Hong Kong for use as our offices and branches. Our Group’s property, plant and equipment as at 31 March 2015 and 2016 mainly represented the leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and computer software for our leased properties, and also our motor vehicles for our corporate use. Their carrying values amounted to approximately HK$2.0 million and HK$3.1 million as at 31 March 2015 and 31 March 2016 respectively.

Our additions of property, plant and equipment for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 were approximately HK$1.6 million and HK$2.1 million respectively, mainly made in respect of the relocation of Causeway Bay branch during the Track Record Period, computer and telecommunication equipment for new staff and motor vehicles. Our motor vehicles as 31 March

– 182 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

2015 and 31 March 2016 were purchased under finance lease arrangements. Please refer to “— Indebtedness” for details.

Apart from the leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and computer software for our leased properties, and also our motor vehicles of approximately HK$2.8 million, property, plant and equipment of approximately HK$4.8 million as at 30 June 2016 also included website revamp costs under construction of approximately HK$2.0 million.

During the three months ended 30 June 2016, we recognised the cost of developing online sales platform at our website, of approximately HK$2.0 million, which was transferred from prepayment. We engaged independent software developers to develop and enhance our online sales platform with an integrated booking system which will allow our customers to purchase our package tours, FIT products and ancillary travel related products with real time confirmation.

Our full servicing online sales platform is expected to be completed by stages in the first half of 2017.

For details of the website revamp costs under construction, please refer to notes 2.5 and 14 to the Accountant’s Report.

Inventories

Our inventory balance as at 31 March 2015, 31 March 2016 and 30 June 2016 was nil, approximately HK$0.4 million and HK$1.0 million respectively. It mainly represented admission tickets to attractions and local transportation passes.

Our inventory balance as at 31 March 2015 was nil because we used to purchase admission tickets to attractions and local transportation passes from a related company and did not keep such inventories ourselves. We adopted such arrangement so as to save administrative resources. Since the year ended 31 March 2016, we have started to purchase admission tickets to attractions and local transportation passes directly from suppliers because the related company ceased to conduct such business. Accordingly, inventories of approximately HK$0.4 million were recorded as at 31 March 2016 and the relevant related party transaction was discontinued for the year ended 31 March 2016. For details, please refer to note 29 to the Accountant’s Report. Our inventory balances further increased to approximately HK$1.0 million as at 30 June 2016, which was mainly due to our purchase of admission tickets of theme park to cater for demand in summer holiday. Our inventory balances increased to approximately HK$1.2 million as at 30 November 2016 mainly due to our purchase of admission tickets of a theme park in August 2016 to cater for demand up to February 2017.

We generally determine the amount of admission tickets to attractions and local transportation passes to be purchased from suppliers based on a number of factors, including the minimum purchase amount required by the respective suppliers, whether the tickets and passes are exchangeable upon expiry, whether there will be any promotion events, our historical usage and our intended level of minimum inventory balance. Some of the admission tickets and local transportation passes are exchangeable once for new tickets or passes in case they are not used prior to their expiry date. During the Track Record Period, we did not record any impairment of inventories.

– 183 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

As at the Latest Practicable Date, approximately 96.0% of our inventories as at 30 June 2016 were subsequently utilised.

Trade receivables

Our customers are mainly retail customers who purchase our package tours, FIT products and ancillary travel related products and services. We also sell our travel products to other travel agents. We generally do not offer credit term to our customers. During the Track Record Period, we offered credit term of up to 8 days after each month end to a travel agent in Hong Kong. For our promotional sales of travel products through online group buying intermediaries, we will submit payment request to them upon receiving their redemption report after the end of redemption period.

As at 31 March 2015, 31 March 2016 and 30 June 2016, we had trade receivables of approximately HK$2.6 million, HK$0.2 million and HK$79,000 respectively, which mainly represented the trade receivables from travel agents and online group buying intermediaries. The higher balance of our trade receivables as at 31 March 2015 as compared to 31 March 2016 was mainly attributable to our Group’s promotional sales of air tickets to Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka and Seoul through online group buying intermediaries during the first quarter of 2015, which resulted in a higher balance of trade receivables from online group buying intermediaries as at 31 March 2015. Our trade receivables further decreased to approximately HK$79,000 as at 30 June 2016, which was mainly because lower sales was generated from online group buying intermediaries during the three months ended 30 June 2016 as compared to that for the three months ended 31 March 2016.

The following table sets out the trade receivable turnover days of our Group for the Track Record Period:

Note: Trade receivable turnover days are calculated by dividing the average trade receivable balance by revenue for the relevant financial year/period multiplied by the number of days during the financial year/period (i.e. 365 days for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and 91 days for the three months ended 30 June 2016). Average trade receivable balance is the average of the beginning and ending trade receivable balances for the relevant financial year/period.

We maintained short trade receivable turnover days during the Track Record Period at approximately 1.2 days for each of the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and approximately 0.2 days for the three months ended 30 June 2016 as the majority of our revenue was derived from retail customers who were required to settle their fees when they purchased travel products from our Group.

Non-current portion

Our Group had non-current prepayments, deposits and other receivables of approximately HK$1.2 million, HK$2.7 million and HK$1.4 million as at 31 March 2015, 31 March 2016 and 30 June 2016 respectively, which mainly represented rental deposits, prepayments for property, plant and equipment and prepayments for website development costs. The increase in the balance from 31 March 2015 to 31 March 2016 was mainly attributable to the prepayment of approximately HK$1.8 million made for the development of our online sales platform during the year ended 31 March 2016. The decrease in the balance from 31 March 2016 to 30 June 2016 was mainly due to the recognition of prepayments for the development costs of online sales portal at our website of approximately HK$1.8 million as property, plant and equipment, which was mitigated by the increase in the non-current portion of rental deposit of approximately HK$0.6 million due to the reclassification of approximately HK$0.2 million of rental deposit from current to non-current portion as a result of the renewal of tenancy agreement for our existing branch in Shatin and the addition of approximately HK$0.4 million which was attributable to the deposit paid for a new tenancy agreement for our expansion of branch in Shatin, which commenced in September 2016.

Current portion

Our Group’s current prepayments, deposits and other receivables amounted to approximately HK$30.9 million, HK$17.5 million and HK$16.2 million as at 31 March 2015, 31 March 2016 and 30 June 2016 respectively, which mainly represented trade deposits, rental, utilities and other deposits, prepayment for Listing expenses and amounts due from employees. The decrease in the balance from 31 March 2015 to 31 March 2016 was primarily as a result of the decrease in our balances of (i) trade deposits; (ii) rental, utilities and other deposits; and (iii) amounts due from

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

employees. The slight decrease in the balance from 31 March 2016 to 30 June 2016 was mainly due to the decreases in (i) non-current portion of the rental deposits; (ii) trade deposits; and (iii) amounts due from employees, which were partially offset by the increase in (i) prepayment for Listing expenses; and (ii) other prepayments and other deposits.

Trade deposits mainly represented the deposits for air tickets reservation, theme park and railway tickets deposits and hotel deposits made by us for the upcoming package tours and other travel products enrolled by our customers. As at 31 March 2015, 31 March 2016 and 30 June 2016, our trade deposits amounted to approximately HK$25.5 million, HK$12.5 million and HK$11.0 million respectively, out of which approximately HK$18.7 million, HK$6.8 million and HK$8.4 million represented deposits for air tickets reservation as at the corresponding reporting dates. The higher balance of trade deposits as at 31 March 2015 as compared to 31 March 2016 was mainly due to the increase in enrolment for tours as at 31 March 2015 for the Easter holidays in early April 2015, whereas the lower balance as at 31 March 2016 was primarily attributable to the earlier timing of the Easter holidays in late March 2016. The slight decrease in the balance from 31 March 2016 to 30 June 2016 was in line with the decrease in sales of July 2016 as compared to that of April 2016.

Our balance of rental, utilities and other deposits decreased from approximately HK$1.4 million as at 31 March 2015 to approximately HK$1.0 million as at 31 March 2016. As we relocated our Causeway Bay branch in February 2015, the balance as at 31 March 2015 included the rental deposits for both of the previous and existing premises of our Causeway Bay branch and a renovation deposit for our existing Causeway Bay branch. The rental deposit for our previous Causeway Bay branch of approximately HK$0.3 million and the renovation deposit of approximately HK$0.1 million were subsequently refunded to us during the year ended 31 March 2016. The decrease in the balance of approximately HK$0.2 million from 31 March 2016 to 30 June 2016 was mainly due to the reclassification of rental deposit from current to non-current portion as a result of the renewal of tenancy agreement for our existing branch in Shatin.

Amounts due from employees generally include the gratuity receivable by our Group collected by tour escorts and cash advances to our tour escorts for leading tours. We had a higher balance of approximately HK$2.6 million as at 31 March 2015 as compared to that of approximately HK$1.0 million as at 31 March 2016 as the balance as at 31 March 2015 included the bank balance of approximately HK$1.9 million at a bank account in Macau in the name of our accounting staff, which was for the sole purpose of receiving fees from travel agents in Macau. As at 31 March 2016, most of the balance in this bank account was transferred to our Group. As at 31 March 2016, such bank account was closed and a corporate business account was maintained by our Group in Macau for the same purpose.

We used the bank account of our accounting staff since 2007 because we were rejected by the bank to open a corporate business account based on their approval procedures including considering their business interests and administrative reasons on a case by case basis. As part of our initiative to improve our internal control system prior to the Listing, we applied to open a corporate business account with the bank in Macau again in 2015. The corporate business account in Macau was then approved by the bank in late March 2016 based on reasons including

satisfactory know-your-client check by the bank, our well-established brand name in the travel industry in Hong Kong and our long-established relationship with the bank in Hong Kong.

As at 31 March 2016 and 30 June 2016, we had prepayments for Listing expenses of approximately HK$1.5 million and HK$2.3 million respectively mainly for deduction from equity upon Listing.

Trade payables

Our Group’s trade payables are mainly related to payables for airfare costs and land costs. Our balance of trade payables remained stable at approximately HK$5.2 million and HK$5.0 million as at 31 March 2015 and 31 March 2016 respectively. While no credit term was granted by our airline suppliers, some of our other suppliers allow us to settle based on month end statement. Our trade payable balance increased by approximately HK$2.0 million from approximately HK$5.0 million as at 31 March 2016 to approximately HK$7.0 million as at 30 June 2016 mainly due to the increase in balances relating to a major tour buses operator and a land operator who issued the invoices to us closer to the end of the three months ended 30 June 2016.

Our trade payable turnover days remained stable at approximately 5.1 days and 5.0 days for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 respectively, and increased to approximately 7.5 days for the three months ended 30 June 2016 mainly due to the higher proportion of hotel tariffs and land operator costs and lower proportion of airfare costs as a percentage of total cost of sales for the three months ended 30 June 2016 as compared to that for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016, which we generally settle after the month-end statements for hotel tariffs and land operator costs while we generally pay deposits and full payments before departure for air flight charges. The following table sets out the trade payable turnover days of our Group for the Track Record Period:

Our Group’s accruals and other payables decreased from approximately HK$43.1 million as at 31 March 2015 to approximately HK$24.8 million as at 31 March 2016 primarily as a result of the decreases in advanced receipts from customers. Our accruals and other payables increased from approximately HK$24.8 million as at 31 March 2016 to approximately HK$36.9 million as at 30 June 2016 mainly due to the increases in advanced receipts from customers and accrued Listing expenses.

We require our customers of package tours to make full payment between ten to 30 days prior to the date of departure depending on the types of tours and depending on whether it is a non-peak

or peak season. Accordingly, we had balance of advanced receipts from customers amounted to approximately HK$39.2 million, HK$19.6 million and HK$27.8 million as at 31 March 2015, 31 March 2016 and 30 June 2016 respectively. The higher balance of advanced receipts from customers as at 31 March 2015 as compared to 31 March 2016 was mainly due to the increase in enrolment for tours as at 31 March 2015 for the Easter holidays in early April 2015, whereas the lower balance as at 31 March 2016 was primarily attributable to the earlier timing of the Easter holidays in late March 2016. The decrease in the balance was generally in line with the decrease in our trade deposits as at 31 March 2016 as compared to 31 March 2015. The increase in advanced receipts from customers from approximately HK$19.6 million as at 31 March 2016 to approximately HK$27.8 million as at 30 June 2016 was in line with the increase in sales of July and August of 2016 as compared to that of April and May of 2016.

Other payables of approximately HK$2.5 million, HK$2.7 million and HK$2.8 million remained relatively stable as at 31 March 2015, 31 March 2016 and 30 June 2016 respectively, which mainly represented the accruals and payables for audit fee, insurance expenses, advertising and promotion expenses, legal and professional fees and other corporate expenses.

The accrued Listing expenses increased from approximately HK$0.8 million as at 31 March 2016 to approximately HK$4.8 million as at 30 June 2016.

Our Directors have confirmed that our Group did not have any material default in payment of accruals and other payables during the Track Record Period.

During the Track Record Period, our Group entered into forward exchange contracts to manage our foreign exchange rate exposures in relation to the settlement of land costs denominated in Japanese Yen.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

2015 was primarily attributable to the generally depreciating trend of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars during the year ended 31 March 2015, whereas the financial asset position as at 31 March 2016 was mainly attributable to the appreciation of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars since January 2016, resulting in a strengthened exchange rate of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars as at 31 March 2016 as compared to beginning of the financial year. As at 30 June 2016, our Group had no outstanding forward exchange contract.

For the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016, we had seven, seven and eight forward exchange contracts to purchase Japanese Yen, which had an aggregate notional value of approximately HK$21.0 million, HK$10.7 million and HK$7.0 million respectively.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the Track Record Period, we had entered into certain related party transactions in relation to lease of property and certain travel related services, details of which are set out in note 29 to the Accountant’s Report.

Having considered that the amounts of these related party transactions are relatively insignificant as compared to our Group’s revenue and they were conducted on an arm’s length basis as a whole, our Directors are of the view that the aforesaid related party transactions did not distort our financial results during the Track Record Period or cause our Track Record Period results to be unreflective of our future performance.

For further details of the related party transactions to be continued after Listing, please refer to “Connected Transactions”.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET TRANSACTIONS

Our Directors confirm that our Group had not entered into any material off-balance sheet transactions or arrangements during the Track Record Period.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Net profit margin and net profit margin before interest and tax

Our Group recorded net profit margin of approximately 3.5%, 5.1% and (9.4)% for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016 respectively. The growth in our net profit margin for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 was mainly attributable to the increase in our gross profit margin mainly driven by the lower price of airline services for the year ended 31 March 2016 as compared to the year ended 31 March 2015. The significant decrease of our net profit margin to a negative value for the three months ended 30 June 2016 was primarily attributable to (i) our significant drop in our revenue due to (a) the negative impact of the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake occurred in April 2016; (b) the decrease in demand of customers who are cost conscious for our package tours bound for Japan due to the continued appreciation of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars together with the intense competition within the industry; and (c) the downward adjustment of the selling price of our package tours in view of the fierce industry competition; (ii) increase in our cost of sales mainly due to (a) the continuous strong exchange rate of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars; and (b) the increase in the hotel tariffs in Japan; and (iii) our significant increase in administrative expenses mainly due to (a) increase in staff cost as a result of the increase in headcount at managerial level; and (b) the Listing expenses incurred.

Our net profit margin before interest and tax was approximately 4.3%, 6.3% and (10.1)% for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016 respectively, which was generally in line with the trend of our net profit margin.

Return on equity

Our Group had return on equity of approximately 43.3% and 38.1% for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 respectively. The decrease in our return on equity from 31 March 2015 to 31 March 2016 was primarily due to the increase in our equity base as at 31 March 2016 as a result of the profit recognised for the year ended 31 March 2016.

Return on total assets

Our Group had return on total assets of approximately 17.6% and 24.2% for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 respectively. The increase in our return on total assets from 31 March 2015 to 31 March 2016 was mainly driven by the increase in our net profit for the year ended 31 March 2016 as compared to the previous financial year and the effect of which outweighed the increase in our total assets.

Interest coverage

Our Group’s interest coverage for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 was over 2,000 times and over 1,000 times respectively. The lower interest coverage was mainly due to the increase in our interest expense incurred for finance leases, which was resulted from the addition of a motor vehicle under finance lease arrangement during the year ended 31 March 2016. Our Group recorded a loss before interest and tax for the three months ended 30 June 2016 and thus the ratio was not applicable for such period.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Current ratio and quick ratio

Our current ratio improved from approximately 1.7 times as at 31 March 2015 to approximately 2.7 times as at 31 March 2016. Such improvement of our current ratio from 31 March 2015 to 31 March 2016 was primarily attributable to the decrease in our current liabilities from approximately HK$53.3 million as at 31 March 2015 to approximately HK$33.5 million as at 31 March 2016 mainly as a result of the decrease in advanced receipts from customers in our accruals and other payables, while our current assets as at 31 March 2015 and 31 March 2016 remained stable at approximately HK$88.8 million and HK$89.8 million respectively. Our current ratio decreased from approximately 2.7 times as at 31 March 2016 to approximately 2.0 times as at 30 June 2016, which was mainly due to the increase in current liabilities which outweighed the increase in current assets from 31 March 2016 to 30 June 2016.

As our Group only carried insignificant amount of inventories of nil, approximately HK$0.4 million and HK$1.0 million as at 31 March 2015, 31 March 2016 and 30 June 2016 respectively, our Group’s quick ratio was equivalent or close to our current ratio.

Gearing ratio

Our Group maintained a low gearing ratio of approximately 1.6%, 1.0% and 1.0% as at 31 March 2015, 31 March 2016 and 30 June 2016 respectively. The lower gearing ratio as at 31 March 2016 as compared to 31 March 2015 was mainly attributable to the increase in our equity base as at 31 March 2016 as a result of the profit recognised for the Track Record Period. Our gearing ratio remained stable as at 31 March 2016 and 30 June 2016.

Debt-to-equity ratio

Our Group had net cash position as at 31 March 2015, 31 March 2016 and 30 June 2016. Accordingly, debt-to-equity ratio was not applicable to our Group.

DIVIDEND

Our Directors intend to strike a balance between maintaining sufficient capital to grow our business and rewarding our Shareholders. The declaration of future dividends will be subject to our Directors’ decision and will depend on factors such as our earnings, financial condition, cash requirements and availability, and any other factors our Directors may consider relevant. Cash dividends on the Shares, if any, will be paid in Hong Kong dollars. The amount of dividend will be determined upon the completion of financial audit and will be referred to distributable profit shown on audited financial report. As these factors and the payment of dividends is at the discretion of our Board, which reserves the right to change its plan on the payment of dividends, there is no assurance that any particular dividend amount, or any dividend at all, will be declared and paid in the future. Currently, we do not have any dividend policy, nor do we have any predetermined dividend distribution ratio.

During the year ended 31 March 2015, dividends of approximately HK$7.9 million and HK$2.0 million were declared and paid by Worldwide Package and PTHK to their then shareholders respectively. Save for the aforesaid, our Group did not declare and/or paid any other dividend during the Track Record Period.

DISTRIBUTABLE RESERVES

Under the Companies Law, we may pay dividends out of our profit or our share premium account in accordance with the provisions of our Articles of Association, provided that immediately following the date on which the dividend is proposed to be distributed, we remain able to pay our debts as and when they fall due in the ordinary course of business. Our Company was incorporated on 8 June 2016 and there was no distributable reserve as at 31 March 2015, 31 March 2016 and 30 June 2016 respectively.

DISCLOSURE UNDER CHAPTER 17 OF THE GEM LISTING RULES

FUTURE PLANS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

FUTURE PLANS

We aim to deliver the best travel experience and customer satisfaction and become the favourite travel agent in Hong Kong. In reaching our business objective, we plan to further enhance our brand recognition and awareness, strengthen our customer relationship management efforts to increase customer loyalty, increase our market share by continuously developing new products and services, strengthen our sales network, improve our information systems and expand our staff team. Please refer to the “Business — Strategies” for a detailed description of our future plans.

In recent years, the number of travellers using FIT products is significantly increasing because it creates greater flexibility so that travellers can tailor make their favourable itineraries depending on their interests and cost budgets. The percentage of travellers bound from Hong Kong using FIT products increased to approximately 81.0% in 2015 from approximately 71.0% in 2011. Since our Group has been focusing on the sales of outbound package tours, we have not been capturing the growth of this market. Further, the increasing use of Internet for travel booking and the rapid emergence of online agencies and booking platforms of airlines and hotels pose threat to, and intensify competition within, the travel service industry, especially to traditional offline travel agents, including our Group.

In view of the aforesaid industry outlook, in order to capture the industry growth and to maintain our market position amid the intensifying industry competition, we are revamping our website to incorporate an integrated online sales platform with various modules including package tours, FIT products and ancillary travel related products and services, membership system, and payment gateway by stages. We will continue to improve our website and online sales platform to provide up-to-date travel information and simplified purchase and booking procedures respectively. Customers will be able to make purchase and complete payment of various travel products online with real time confirmation. We will increase our offering of FIT products on our online sales platform to cater for the needs of FITs so as to capture the growth of the FIT market. We will also offer certain hotel bookings exclusively to increase the attractiveness of our products. Given our online sales platform will be able to offer such wide range of products (i.e. package tours, FIT products and ancillary travel related products and services), it will satisfy most of the travel needs of our customers as a one-stop shop. This will distinguish us from most of the online agencies and booking platforms of airlines and hotels which generally only offer air ticket and/or hotel booking.

In view of the increasing use of Internet for travel booking and in order to correspond with the introduction of our integrated online sales platform, we will boost our marketing efforts, especially on digital marketing. We have launched a two-year digital marketing campaign in August 2016 with an aim to digitally transforming our Group into a leader in local travel e-commerce. Through advertising on social media and search engine marketing, we aim to increase online channel presence and online traffic and drive online inquiry to our product offerings. We plan to do so by building promotions for interested groups, developing special packages and tours and building fan following from interested groups. Digital marketing will allow us to deliver our ad messages directly to targeted group of potential customers and effectively push new promotions. Our plan involves continuously tracking implementation and reviewing performance. We will use accumulated data to develop look-a-like audience and to retarget previously interest users with new attractive offers.

– 203 –

FUTURE PLANS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In addition, we will also enhance our customer relationship management efforts in order to improve length of customer cycle and build loyal customer base. We will analyse the data to be accumulated from the digital marketing campaign to understand our customers’ behaviour in depth, including resell patterns, product preferences, and customer lifecycles. We may also consider to adopt an enhanced customer relationship management system which allows us to make quantifiable measurement, synchronise business dealings and build an optimal website experience. Concurrently, we will continuously monitor and improve our membership system, which may include expanding the redemption scheme to offer additional benefits, souvenirs or gift vouchers.

In order to implement our aforesaid strategies, we plan to recruit one to two experienced team member(s) for each of our marketing and information technology functions. We also plan to recruit one to two accounting staff to support our additional financial reporting requirements after the Listing. In addition, we will continue to upgrade or replace our information systems to improve our operational efficiency in order for us to be able to respond to market changes expeditiously in view of the intensifying market competition.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds from the Share Offer (after deducting underwriting commissions and estimated expenses payable by us in connection with the Share Offer), assuming an Offer Price of HK$0.60 per Share (being the mid-point of the indicative Offer Price range), will be approximately HK$38.4 million. We currently intend to apply the net proceeds in the following manner:

  • ‰ approximately 44.5%, or HK$17.1 million, to be used to promote our brand recognition and awareness over the years ending 31 March 2017, 2018 and 2019, among which, approximately 23.2% or HK$8.9 million will be used for digital marketing including advertisements on Internet and search engine marketing; and approximately 21.4% or HK$8.2 million will be used for marketing campaigns such as television travel programmes (including online television) and film sponsorship and other conventional offline media advertisements such as newspapers, television, public transportation, and travel and lifestyle magazines;

  • ‰ approximately 24.9%, or HK$9.6 million, to be used to strengthen and enhance our sales channels, among which, approximately 10.4% or HK$4.0 million will be used for refurbishment of our existing branches to give a unified and new image across all our branches; approximately 4.4%, or HK$1.7 million will be used for setting up of a new branch when strategic location is identified; and approximately 10.0% or HK$3.9 million will be used for settlement of the costs for the development and enhancement of our online sales platform;

  • ‰ approximately 20.6%, or HK$7.9 million, to be used to improve our operational efficiency, among which, approximately 16.9%, or HK$6.5 million will be used for improvement of our information systems including upgrading or replacement of our hotlines telephone system in the year ending 31 March 2017 and our accounting system and tour operating system during the two years ending 31 March 2018 and 2019; and approximately 3.7% or HK$1.4 million will be used to renovate our offices to improve working environment and to promote efficient use of office space; and

If the Offer Price is set at the high-end of the indicative Offer Price range, being HK$0.8, the net proceeds of the Share Offer, will be approximately HK$57.8 million. We intend to apply the additional net proceeds for the above purposes on a pro-rata basis.

If the Offer Price is set at the low-end of the indicative Offer Price range, being HK$0.4, the net proceeds of the Share Offer, will be approximately HK$19.0 million. In such case, we intend to reduce the allocation of such net proceeds for the above purposes on a pro-rata basis.

To the extent that the net proceeds are not immediately required for or applied to the above purposes, we may hold such funds in short-term deposits with licensed banks and authorised financial institutions in Hong Kong for so long as it is in our best interests.

We will make an appropriate announcement and comply with the requirements of the GEM Listing Rules if there is any change to the above proposed use of proceeds.

IMPLEMENTATION PLANS

We set out below the implementation plans which our Directors intend to carry out. The implementation plans are based on a number of bases and assumptions set out in “— Implementation plans — Bases and assumptions”. The bases and assumptions are subject to uncertainties and factors beyond our control, particularly the risk factors set out in “Risk Factors”. No assurance can be given that our business objectives will be achieved or our plans will be implemented as set out in the implementation plans or at all.

REASONS FOR THE LISTING AND THE SHARE OFFER

Commercial rationale for the Listing

Our Directors believe that the Listing is strategically critical to the long-term growth of our Group as it will help promote our brand awareness, strengthen our competitiveness, capture more business opportunities, enlarge the shareholder base of our Company, provide us additional avenues to raise capital in the long run, and ultimately lay a solid foundation and equip our Group for the long term development and growth.

Our Directors consider the listing status will enhance our Group’s corporate image and reputation as well as further strengthen our market position in the travel industry in Hong Kong. According to the CH Report, the reputation of a travel agent is one of the major considerations for Hong Kong travellers. The listing status will help advertise our Group to existing and potential customers and suppliers, and enhance our corporate profile and credibility with the public and business partners. In addition, our Directors are of the view that the Listing will also increase our bargaining power in negotiating contract terms with potential business partners. As a listed entity, customers and suppliers will have more confidence in the quality of our services, our financial strength and credibility, and transparency in operations and financial reporting. Our internal control and corporate governance practices will also be enhanced following the Listing. All of these in turn will strengthen our competitiveness, help expand our market share and drive our business performance and growth.

The listing status will help raise staff confidence. It will improve our ability to recruit, motivate and retain key management personnel so as to expediently and effectively capture any business opportunities that may arise. The Listing will enable us to offer an equity-based incentive programme (such as a share option scheme) to our employees that more directly correlates to their performance with our Group’s business. We would therefore be in a better position to motivate our employees with any incentive programmes that are closely aligned with the objective of creating value for our Shareholders.

Our Company will be able to diversify the risk of ownership among a larger group of Shareholders after the Listing, which is important as we continue to expand our business. Our Controlling Shareholders are not selling any Shares as part of the Share Offer, and currently have no intention to dispose of any Shares that he/she/it holds subsequent to the Share Offer and intend to enjoy the growth of our Group alongside our investors in the long run. In addition, to demonstrate their commitment to the long-term development of our Group, each of our Controlling Shareholders has voluntarily undertaken to the Sole Global Coordinator that for an additional 12 months commencing on the date on which the undertaking under Rule 13.16A(1)(b) of GEM Listing Rules expires, he/she/it shall remain as our controlling shareholder. For details, see “Substantial Shareholders — Undertakings”.

– 212 –

FUTURE PLANS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Following the Listing, we will have access to the capital markets, providing us additional avenues for future fundraising through the issuance of equity and debt securities for business development in the long run. Equity financing does not involve recurring interest expense and the financing process is usually simpler and quicker than negotiating bank borrowings, and therefore would allow our Group to react promptly to market conditions and business opportunities. Further, our Directors believe that a listing status will allow us to gain leverage in obtaining bank financing with relatively more favourable terms. Therefore, the Listing will offer us more flexibility to finance our operation.

In summary, the Listing will help strengthen the competitiveness of our Group, offer us more flexibility to finance our operation so as to allow us to respond to business opportunities expeditiously and differentiating us from our private competitors, so as to be in a better position to seize business opportunities and securing our market position in the travel industry. Therefore, our Directors consider it is commercially justifiable to pursue the Listing.

Listing on GEM

Despite the fact that our Group is able to meet the minimum profit requirement for listing on the Main Board for the financial years ended 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016, our Directors consider that it is more prudent to apply for a listing on GEM instead of the Main Board since our Group was only marginally able to meet the minimum profit requirement for listing on the Main Board for the year ended 31 March 2016. Moreover, our Group recorded deteriorating financial performance for the three months ended 30 June 2016 and was not expected to meet the Main Board minimum profit requirement for listing for the most recent financial year should the Track Record Period be shifted to include the year ending 31 March 2017.

Our capital requirements and reasons for the Share Offer

Despite our seemingly high level of cash and cash equivalents of approximately HK$76.9 million as at 30 June 2016 as compared to the estimated net proceeds from the Share Offer of approximately HK$38.4 million (based on the mid-point of the indicative Offer Price range), our Directors decided to maintain our existing cash on hand to support the working capital requirement of our daily operation, while the net proceeds from the Share Offer will help finance our development plans.

Our Directors consider it necessary to maintain a relatively higher level of liquidity to meet the prepayment requests of our suppliers from time to time, particularly during peak seasons. For instance, our trade deposits paid to suppliers at the end of the financial year ended 31 March 2015 increased by approximately HK$12.5 million as compared to the beginning of the financial year, reaching to approximately HK$25.5 million mainly as a result of deposits paid for air ticket reservations, theme park and railway tickets and hotel reservations for the upcoming package tours for the Easter holiday in early April 2015. As a result, our operating cash flow experienced significant fluctuation during the Track Record Period. Our net cash generated from operating activities for the year ended 31 March 2015 only amounted to approximately HK$1.2 million.

Besides, airlines would occasionally launch ad hoc promotions or offer special fares to us. The airlines would request us to make full payment to reserve the seats in advance of receiving payments from our customers for such ad hoc seats. For instance, our largest airline supplier

– 213 –

FUTURE PLANS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

offered promotional fares for September and October 2016 for certain destinations in Japan. We were required to make full payment of the ticket fare of approximately HK$8.4 million during lateJuly to early-August 2016, in contrast, we are not required to pay any deposit for block reservation to such supplier. In addition, following our discussion with such supplier to develop a regular route to a new destination in Japan, our airline supplier has proposed to operate scheduled charter flight to Komatsu, Japan initially between mid April and end of June 2017 with two departures per week. We are required to make full payments in advance and in one go. We propose to underwrite a substantial portion of the flight seats and thus it is expected that we will incur additional deposits payment for the underwritten flight seats of the new route for the new destination for the initial period.

More importantly, in view of the cyclical nature of the retail market, the fact that the travel industry is vulnerable to adversities, such as natural disasters, outbreak of contagious or infectious disease and travel-related accidents, the volatile nature of the exchange rate of Japanese Yen and the generally low net profit margin of our business as in line with the industry average, our Directors consider it is important for us to maintain a relatively high level of liquidity in order to be able to sustain over deteriorating market conditions and material adversities arising from time to time. In particular, our financial performance and liquidity position are very sensitive to fluctuation in the exchange rate of Japanese Yen as illustrated in the sensitivity and breakeven analyses set out in “Financial Information — Sensitivity and breakeven analyses”. The cash position of our Group was negatively correlated to the exchange rate of Japanese Yen. Our current high level of cash on hand is largely attributable to satisfactory results of operation during the past three financial years amid the depreciating trend of Japanese Yen since 2013. During 2010 to 2012 when the exchange rate of Japanese Yen reached its peak for the past 10 years, the cash position of our Group as at financial year-end dropped to as low as approximately HK$20.2 million. Accordingly, our Directors consider it is crucial that we maintain sufficient working capital amid the appreciating trend of Japanese Yen.

In light of the foregoing and having considered that our annual cost of sales amounted to over HK$360 million during the Track Record Period, our Directors consider that the amount of cash and cash equivalents as at 30 June 2016 is not excessive relatively to our scale of operation and our on-going funding requirements. Accordingly, our Directors consider it justifiable to maintain a relatively high level of cash on hand to support the working capital requirement of our daily operation, while the net proceeds from the Share Offer will be used to fund our development plans.

The Listing expenses represent approximately 27.7% to 52.4% of the gross proceeds of the Share Offer based on the indicative Offer Price range. It should be emphasised that we did not pursue the Listing solely for the net proceeds from the Share Offer. Instead, the Listing provides a jump board that enables our Group to achieve long-term benefits for the continuing development of our Group. The ratio of Listing expenses to gross proceeds of approximately 36.0% (based on mid-point of the indicative Offer Price range) is within the range of those of newly listed companies on GEM since 1 January 2016 up to the Latest Practicable Date. In light of the foregoing, our Directors consider the Listing exercise as a whole to be cost effective and efficient for supporting our Group’s expansion.

Having considered the aforesaid, our Directors consider, and the Sole Sponsor concurs, that it is strategically and commercially justifiable and in the interests of our Company and our Shareholders as a whole to pursue the Listing and the Share Offer.

Great Roc Capital Securities Limited is the Sole Global Coordinator to the Share Offer.

An aggregate of 10,000,000 Shares have been initially allocated to the Public Offer for subscription in Hong Kong at the Offer Price under the Public Offer (subject to re-allocation on the basis described in “— Re-allocation between the Placing and The Public Offer” below) outside the United States (including to professional institutional investors within Hong Kong) in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S. An aggregate of 90,000,000 Shares are initially offered under the Placing for subscription, subject to re-allocation as mentioned below and under the GEM Listing Rules.

Investors are free to select to apply for the Public Offer Shares or the Placing Shares, but not both. Our Directors and the Sole Global Coordinator will take all reasonable steps to identify any multiple applications under the Public Offer and the Placing which are not allowed and are bound to be rejected.

PRICING AND ALLOCATION

The Offer Price will be not more than HK$0.80 per Offer Share and is expected to be not less than HK$0.40 per Offer Share, unless otherwise announced not later than the morning of the last day for lodging applications under the Public Offer, as explained below. Prospective investors should be aware that the Offer Price to be determined on the Price Determination Date may be, but is not expected to be, lower than the indicative Offer Price range stated in this prospectus.

Price payable upon application for the Public Offer Shares

Investors of the Public Offer Shares will be required to pay the maximum indicative Offer Price of HK$0.80 plus brokerage fee of 1%, SFC transaction levy of 0.0027% and Stock Exchange trading fee of 0.005%, amounting to a total of HK$4,040.31 for each board lot of 5,000 Shares. If the final Offer Price is less than the maximum indicative Offer Price, arrangements will be made to refund any excess amount to the investors, without interest.

Determining the Offer Price

The Placing Underwriters are soliciting from prospective investors indications of interest in acquiring the Shares in the Placing. Prospective investors will be required to specify the number of Placing Shares under the Placing they would be prepared to acquire either at different prices or at a particular price. This process, known as “bookbuilding”, is expected to continue up to, and to cease on or around the Price Determination Date. The Offer Price is expected to be fixed by agreement between the Sole Global Coordinator (for itself and on behalf of the Underwriters) and our Company, on the Price Determination Date, when market demand for the Offer Shares will be determined. The Price Determination Date is expected to be on or around Friday, 6 January 2017 and in any event, no later than Monday, 9 January 2017.

Upon issue of these notices, the revised Offer Price range will be final and conclusive and the Offer Price, if agreed upon by the Sole Global Coordinator, on behalf of the Underwriters, and us will be fixed within this revised Offer Price range. Applicants should have regard to the possibility that any announcement of a reduction in indicative Offer Price range may not be made until the last day for lodging applications under the Public Offer. Such notice shall also include confirmation or revision, as appropriate, of the working capital statement, offer statistics and any financial or other information in this prospectus which may change as a result of any such reduction.

However, if the Offer Price range is reduced, applicants will be notified that they are required to confirm their applications. If applicants have been notified but have not confirmed their applications in accordance with the procedure to be notified, all unconfirmed applications will be deemed revoked.

STRUCTURE AND CONDITIONS OF THE SHARE OFFER

applicant’s application under the Public Offer is bound to be rejected. The Public Offer will be subject to the conditions stated under “Structure and Conditions of the Share Offer”.

If the Public Offer is not fully subscribed for, the Sole Global Coordinator (for itself and on behalf of the Public Offer Underwriters) has the authority to re-allocate all or any of the unsubscribed Public Offer Shares originally included in the Public Offer to the Placing, in such number as it deems appropriate to satisfy demand under the Placing. The total number of the Public Offer Shares to be allotted and issued may change as a result of the re-allocation as mentioned below.

When there is over-subscription, allocation of the Public Offer Shares to investors under the Public Offer, will be based solely on the level of valid applications received under the Public Offer. The allocation of Public Offer Shares could, where appropriate, consist of balloting, which would mean that some applicants may receive a higher allocation than others who have applied for the same number of Public Offer Shares and those applicants who are not successful in the ballot may not receive any Public Offer Shares.

Multiple or suspected multiple applications under the Public Offer and any application for more than 10,000,000 Public Offer Shares initially available for subscription will be rejected. Each applicant under the Public Offer will also be required to give an undertaking and confirmation in the Application Form submitted by him that he and any person(s) for whose benefit he is making the application have not received any Shares under the Placing, and such applicant’s application is liable to be rejected if the said undertaking and/or confirmation is breached and/or untrue (as the case may be).

Investors subscribing for the Placing Shares are also required to pay brokerage fee of 1.0%, SFC transaction levy of 0.0027% and Stock Exchange trading fee of 0.005%.

Allocation of the Placing Shares will be based on a number of factors, including the level and timing of demand and whether or not it is expected that the relevant investor is likely to purchase further Shares or hold or sell the Shares after the Listing. Such allocation is intended to result in a distribution of the Placing Shares which would lead to the establishment of a solid individual, professional, institutional shareholder base for the benefit of our Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

In addition, our Company and the Sole Global Coordinator will use their best endeavours to observe the minimum public float requirement under the GEM Listing Rules when making allocations of the Placing Shares to investors who are anticipated to have a sizeable demand for such Shares.

For the avoidance of doubt, our Company and all other parties involved in the preparation of this prospectus acknowledge that each CCASS Participant who gives or causes to give electronic application instructions is a person who may be entitled to compensation under Section 40 of the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (as applied by Section 342E of the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance).

The subscription of the Public Offer Shares by giving electronic application instructions to HKSCC is only a facility provided to CCASS Participants.

systems. In the event that CCASS Investor Participants have problems in the connection to CCASS Phone System/CCASS Internet System for submission of electronic application instructions , they should either (i) submit a WHITE or YELLOW Application Form, or (ii) go to HKSCC’s Customer Service Centre to complete an input request form for electronic application instructions before 12:00 noon on Thursday, 5 January 2017.

Multiple applications for the Public Offer Shares are not allowed except by nominees. If you are a nominee, in the box on the Application Form marked “For nominees” you must include:

  • an account number; or

  • some other identification code,

for each beneficial owner or, in the case of joint beneficial owners, for each joint beneficial owner. If you do not include this information, the application will be treated as being made for your benefit.

All of your applications will be rejected if more than one application on a WHITE or YELLOW Application Form or by giving electronic application instructions to HKSCC, is made for your benefit (including the part of the application made by HKSCC Nominees acting on electronic application instructions ). If an application is made by an unlisted company and:

  • the principal business of that company is dealing in securities; and

  • you exercise statutory control over that company,

then the application will be treated as being for your benefit.

“Unlisted company” means a company with no equity securities listed on the Stock Exchange.

  • “Statutory control” means you:

  • control the composition of the board of directors of the company;

  • control more than half of the voting power of the company; or

9. EFFECT OF BAD WEATHER ON THE OPENING OF THE APPLICATION LISTS

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. Pursuant to a group reorganisation as described in Note 1.2 of Section II headed “Reorganisation” below, which was completed on 5 July 2016, the Company became the holding company of the subsidiaries now comprising the Group (the “Reorganisation”).

As at the date of this report, the Company has direct and indirect interests in the subsidiaries as set out in Note 1.2 of Section II below. All of these companies are private companies or, if incorporated or established outside Hong Kong, have substantially the same characteristics as a Hong Kong incorporated private company.

No statutory audited financial statements have been prepared by the Company as it is newly incorporated and has not involved in any significant business transactions since its date of incorporation, other than the Reorganisation. The statutory audited financial statements of the other companies now comprising the Group as at the date of this report for which there are statutory audit requirements have been prepared in accordance with the relevant accounting

APPENDIX I

principles generally accepted in their place of incorporation. The details of the statutory auditors of these companies are set out in Note 1.2 of Section II.

The directors of the Company have prepared the combined financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries now comprising the Group for the Relevant Periods, in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) (the “Underlying Financial Statements”). The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the Underlying Financial Statements that gives a true and fair view in accordance with HKFRSs. We have audited the Underlying Financial Statements in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing (the “HKSAs”) issued by the HKICPA pursuant to separate terms of engagement with the Company.

The financial information has been prepared based on the Underlying Financial Statements, with no adjustment made thereon, and on the basis set out in Note 1.3 of Section II below.

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of presentation set out in Note 1.3 of Section II below and in accordance with HKFRSs, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

REPORTING ACCOUNTANT’S RESPONSIBILITY

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial information and to report our opinion to you. We carried out our procedures in accordance with the Auditing Guideline 3.340 “Prospectuses and the Reporting Accountant” issued by the HKICPA.

OPINION

In our opinion, the financial information gives, for the purpose of this report and presented on the basis set out in Note 1.3 of Section II below, a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 30 June 2016 and of the combined financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2015 and 2016 and 30 June 2016 and of the Group’s combined financial performance and cash flows for the Relevant Periods.

REVIEW OF STUB PERIOD COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

We have reviewed the stub period comparative financial information set out in Sections I to II below included in Appendix I to the Prospectus which comprises the combined statements of comprehensive income, the combined statement of changes in equity and the combined statement of cash flows for the three months ended 30 June 2015 and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (the “Stub Period Comparative Financial Information”).

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information in accordance with the basis of presentation set out in Note 1.3 of Section II below and the accounting policies set out in Note 2 of Section II below.

– I-2 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

APPENDIX I

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the HKICPA. A review of the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Stub Period Comparative Financial Information, for the purpose of this report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of presentation set out in Note 1.3 of Section II below and the accounting policies set out in Note 2 of Section II below.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

APPENDIX I

Under HKAS 17, lessees were required to make a distinction between a finance lease (on the combined statements of financial position) and an operating lease (off balance sheet). HKFRS 16 requires lessees to recognise a lease liability reflecting future lease payments and a right-of-use asset for virtually all lease contracts. The new standard will impact both the combined statements of financial position and related ratios (capital adequacy ratio and leverage ratio), but the impact will not be material. If the Group early adopts HKFRS 16, as at 30 June 2016, the amount of operating leasing commitment amounted to HK$7,466,000 (Note 28(b)) would be recognised on the combined statements of financial position as asset and liability. It would have immaterial influences on total assets and liabilities. The impacts on capital adequacy ratio and leverage ratio will also be immaterial.

HKFRS 15 replaces the previous revenue standards: HKAS 18 Revenue and HKAS 11 Construction Contracts, and the related Interpretations on revenue recognition. HKFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining when to recognise revenue and how much revenue to recognise through a 5-step approach: (1) Identify the contract(s) with customer; (2) Identify separate performance obligations in a contract; (3) Determine the transaction price; (4) Allocate transaction price to performance obligations; and (5) Recognise revenue when performance obligation is satisfied. The core principle is that a company should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. It moves away from a revenue recognition model based on an “earnings processes” to an “asset-liability” approach based on transfer of control. HKFRS 15 provides specific guidance on capitalisation of contract cost, license arrangements and principal versus agent commissions. It also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers. HKFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and earlier application is permitted. The Group does not plan to early adopt HKFRS 15. The Group assessed the impact of the adoption of HKFRS 15 by analysing the Group’s key revenue streams against the 5- step approach and does not expect the adoption would have a material impact other than presenting more disclosures.

HKFRS 9, ‘Financial Instruments’, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. It replaces the guidance in HKAS 39 that relates to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. HKFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income and fair value through profit or loss.

For financial liabilities, there were no changes to classification and measurement except for the recognition of changes in own credit risk in other comprehensive income, for liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. The Group assesses that adopting HKFRS 9 will not have a material impact to the Group’s results of operations and financial position.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

APPENDIX I

Management is in the process of making an assessment on the impact of other standards and amendments to existing HKFRSs and is not yet in a position to state whether they will have a significant impact on the Group’s results of operations and financial position.

2.2 Subsidiaries

Consolidation

Except for the Reorganisation as stated in Note 1.2, subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations other than business under common control. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.

The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis. Non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation are measured at either fair value or the present ownership interests’ proportionate share in the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other components of non-controlling interests are measured at their acquisition date fair value, unless another measurement basis is required by HKFRSs.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognised in the profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognised in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) 39 in profit or loss. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

– I-15 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

APPENDIX I

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognised and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in the profit or loss.

Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform with the Group’s accounting policies.

2.3 Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the executive directors of the Company who make strategic decisions.

2.4 Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). Financial Information is presented in HK$, which is the Company’s functional currency and the Group’s presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.

All foreign exchange gains and losses that related to foreign currency transactions for land cost are presented in the combined statements of comprehensive income within “cost of sales”. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the combined statements of comprehensive income within “other (losses)/gains, net”.

– I-16 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

APPENDIX I

Changes in the fair value of debt securities denominated in foreign currency classified as available-for-sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in the amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. Translation differences related to changes in amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets, such as equities classified as available-for-sale, are included in other comprehensive income.

2.5 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged in profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their costs to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Leasehold improvements 20% or over the lease term, whichever is shorter Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 20% per annum Computer software 20% to 33.3% per annum Motor vehicles 33.3% per annum Website 20% per annum

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

Website under construction or pending installation are stated at cost less impairment losses, if any. No amortisation is made on assets under construction in progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and available for their intended use.

– I-17 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

APPENDIX I

2.6 Impairment of non-financial assets

Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

2.7 Financial assets

(a) Classification

The Group classifies its financial assets as loans and receivables and financial assets at fair values through profit or loss. The classification depends on the purposes for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settled within 12 months; otherwise, they are classified as non-current.

(ii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for the amounts that are settled or expected to be settled more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. The Group’s loans and receivables comprise “trade receivables”, “deposits and other receivables”, “amount due from a related company” and “cash and cash equivalents” in the combined statements of financial position.

(b) Recognition, derecognition and measurement

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade-date — the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.

– I-18 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

APPENDIX I

Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the profit or loss. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss category are presented in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

2.8 Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the combined statements of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Group or the counterparty.

2.9 Impairment of financial assets

Assets carried at amortised cost

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

For loans and receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the

– I-19 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

APPENDIX I

discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

2.10 Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group does not designate any derivative as a hedging instrument. Changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments are presented in the combined statements of comprehensive income within “other (losses)/gains, net”.

2.11 Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated applicable selling expenses.

2.12 Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection of trade and other receivables is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

2.13 Cash and cash equivalents

In the combined statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks.

2.14 Combined capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

– I-20 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

APPENDIX I

2.15 Trade and other payables

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.16 Current and deferred income tax

The tax expense for the years comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

(a) Current income tax

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the combined statements of financial position date in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

(b) Deferred income tax

Inside basis differences

Deferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the combined financial statements. However, the deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from initial recognition of goodwill, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it is from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the statement of financial position date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

– I-21 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

APPENDIX I

Outside basis differences

Deferred income tax liabilities are provided on taxable temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised on deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries only to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in the future and there is sufficient taxable profit available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.

(c) Offsetting

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

2.17 Employee benefits

(a) Pension obligations

The Group has arranged for its employees to join the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme, which is a defined contribution scheme managed by an independent trustee. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions to publicly or privately administered pension insurance plans on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

(b) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b) when the entity recognises costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of HKAS 37 and involves the payment of termination benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to their present value.

– I-22 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

APPENDIX I

(c) Employee leave entitlements

Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the statement of financial position date. Employee entitlements to sick leave and maternity leave are not recognised until the time of leave.

(d) Long service payments

Employees who have completed the required number of years of service to the Group are eligible for long service payments. A provision is recognised in respect of the probable future long service payments expected to be made. The provision is based on the best estimate of the probable future payments which have been earned by the employees from their services to the Group to the reporting date.

2.18 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

2.19 Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and represents amounts receivable for goods supplied and services provided, stated net of discounts and returns. The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured; when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity; and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities, as described below. The Group bases its estimates of return on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customers, the type of transactions and the specifics of each arrangement. Revenue is recognised as follows:

  • (i) Revenue from sales of package tours is recognised when the services are rendered by the Group per day spent at the destination.

– I-23 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

APPENDIX I

  • (ii) Margin income from sales of FIT products is recognised when the services are rendered by the Group as an agent on a net basis when the booking is confirmed.

  • (iii) Margin income from sales of ancillary travel related products and services (such as insurance, transportation passes and admission tickets) are recognised on a net basis when the product is sold to customers.

  • (iv) Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.

  • (v) Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

  • (vi) Referral income is recognised when the services are rendered.

Determining whether the Group is acting as a principal or as an agent requires consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, including whether (1) the Group is the primary obligator in the provision of package tours services and sales of air tickets and hotel accommodations; (2) the Group retains the inventory risk of before and after the customer orders, during the provision of services or on return; (3) the Group has latitude in establishing prices; and (4) the Group bears the credit risk for collecting cash from customers. The Group’s management performs the assessment based on the above mentioned factors and reaches the conclusion that the Group acts as a principal in the provision of package tours services since it has exposure to the significant risks and rewards associated with the provision of services, and acts as an agent in the sales of air tickets and hotel accommodations since the risks and rewards associated with the sales are borne by the airline companies and hotels. Accordingly, the Group recognises revenue from the provision of package tours services on a gross basis and sales of air tickets and hotel accommodations on a net basis.

The Group operates the customer loyalty programme where certain customers accumulate points for purchases made which entitle them to purchase goods supplied or services provided for free or at a discounted price. The award points are recognised as a separately identifiable component of the initial sale transaction, by allocating the fair value of the consideration received between the award points and the other components of the sale such that the award points are recognised at their fair value. Revenue from the award points is recognised when the points are redeemed or expired. The amount of initial revenue recognised is based on the number of points redeemed relative to the total number expected to be redeemed. The deferred revenue is recognised as revenue when the award credits are redeemed and expired and the Group’s obligations have been fulfilled.

2.20 Leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

– I-24 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

APPENDIX I

The Group leases certain property, plant and equipment. Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments.

Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other long-term payables. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term.

2.21 Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Group’s combined financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company’s shareholders or directors, where appropriate.

2.22 Government grants

Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.

Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in profit or loss over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.

3 Financial risk management

3.1 Financial risk factors

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including foreign exchange risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance.

Risk management is carried out by management of the Group. Formal and informal management meetings are held to identify significant risks and to develop procedures to deal with any risks in relation to the Group’s businesses.

(a) Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates principally in Hong Kong. It is exposed to foreign exchange risk primarily with respect to Japanese Yen (“JPY”) denominated transactions arising from the costs of services consumed in hotel accommodations and other travel-related services.

– I-25 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

APPENDIX I

The foreign exchange risk of the Group mainly arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits and other receivables, trade payables and amounts due from/(to) related companies denominated in JPY, which are used in the provision of package tours services in Japan.

The table below summarises the financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies:

Assets

3,664

As at 31 March 2015 and 2016 and 30 June 2016, if JPY had strengthened/ weakened by 10% with all other variables held constant, the post-tax profit/(loss) for the respective years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2016 would have been approximately HK$577,000 higher/lower, HK$357,000 higher/lower and HK$75,000 lower/higher, mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on revaluation of JPY denominated cash and cash equivalents, deposits and other receivables, trade payables and amounts due from/ to related companies.

The Group manages its exposures to foreign exchange transactions by monitoring the level of foreign currency receipts and payments and using foreign exchange forward contracts to manage against the foreign exchange risk arising from future operational transactions and recognised assets and liabilities. The Group does not designate any derivative as a hedging instruments. The Group ensures that the net exposure to foreign exchange risk is kept to an acceptable level from time to time. The Group also regularly reviews the portfolio of suppliers and the currencies in which the transactions are denominated so as to minimise the Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risk.

(b) Credit risk

The credit risk of the Group mainly arises from cash at bank, trade receivables, other receivables and amount due from a related company. The carrying amounts of these balances represent the Group’s maximum exposure to

– I-26 –

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

APPENDIX I

credit risk in relation to financial assets. In respect of cash deposited at banks, the credit risk is considered to be low as the counterparties are reputable banks.

Majority of the Group’s revenue is received from individual retail customers in relation to package tours services and are transacted in cash or credit cards. The Group’s trade receivables arise from sales of air tickets and hotel accommodations to other travel agents. As at 31 March 2015 and 2016 and 30 June 2016, the top three debtors accounted for approximately 99%, 100% and 100% and the largest debtor accounted for approximately 97%, 98% and 96% of the Group’s trade receivables balance, respectively. The Group has set up long-term cooperative relationship with these debtors. In view of the history of business dealings with the debtors and the sound collection history of the receivables due from them, management believes that there is no material credit risk inherent in the Group’s outstanding receivables balance due from these debtors. Management makes periodic assessment on the recoverability of the trade and other receivables based on historical payment records, the length of overdue period, the financial strength of the debtors and whether there are any disputes with the debtors. The directors consider the Group’s credit risk of these receivables to be low.

For amounts due from related parties, the directors are of the opinion that the credit risk is low due to the sound collection history of the receivables due from the counterparty. The extent of credit risk relating to the Group’s trade and other receivables is disclosed in Note 17 and Note 18.

(c) Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management is controlled by maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents generated from the operating activities. As at 31 March 2015 and 2016 and 30 June 2016, the Group held cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables, respectively, that are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk.

As at 31 March 2015 and 2016 and 30 June 2016, the Group has banking facilities in the aggregate amount of HK$51,000,000, including a bank guarantee to suppliers in the amount of HK$5,000,000, for future operating activities. The above banking facilities were secured by i) a residential property and an office property (including its rental assignment) owned by related companies; ii) corporate guarantee granted by a related company; iii) cross guarantee granted by Package Tours and a related company; and iv) personal guarantees by Mr. SK Yuen and Ms. Chan, the executive directors of the Company.

The banking facilities do not contain any material covenants and the Group has not breached any covenants on its banking facilities.

All the properties charged and guarantees provided by the related companies, Package Tours, Mr. SK Yuen and Ms. Chan for the Group’s banking facilities will be fully released upon Listing.

APPENDIX I

3.2 Capital risk management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total obligations under finance leases (including “current” and “non-current” as shown in the combined statement of financial position) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as “equity” as shown in the combined statement of financial position plus net debt.

As at 31 March 2015 and 2016 and 30 June 2016, the Group had net cash position as follows:

Less: cash and cash equivalents (Note 19)

3.3 Fair value estimation

The table below analyses the Group’s financial instruments carried at fair value by level of the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Such inputs are categorised into three levels within a fair value hierarchy as follows:

  • ‰ Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).

  • ‰ Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).

  • ‰ Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).

As at 30 June 2016, the Group does not have any financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

(a) Financial instruments in level 1

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the statement of financial position date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.

(b) Financial instruments in level 2

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. As at 31 March 2015 and 2016, instruments included in level 2 represent forward exchange contracts issued by financial institution in Hong Kong which was classified as financial assets/liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and the fair value is determined using forward exchange rates at the date of the combined statements of financial position.

There were no transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the Relevant Periods.

3.4 Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

As at 31 March 2015 and 2016 and 30 June 2016, there were no financial assets or financial liabilities which were subject to offsetting, enforceable master netting or similar agreements.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT

APPENDIX I

4 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.

(a) Income taxes

The Group is subject to income taxes in Hong Kong. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

(b) Provision for impairment of trade and other receivables

Significant judgement is exercised in the assessment of the collectability of receivables. In making its judgement, management considers a wide range of factors such as results of follow-up procedures performed, payment trend including subsequent payments, and financial positions of the debtors.

5 Revenue and segment information

(a) Revenue

The Group’s businesses include selling of package tours, FIT products and certain ancillary travel related products and services. Revenue recognised during the Relevant Periods is as follows:

(b) Segment information

Management has identified its operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the chief operating decision maker that are used for making strategic decisions. The chief operating decision maker is identified as the executive directors of the Company. The only component in internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker is the Group’s travel and travel-related services business during the Relevant Periods. In this regard, management considers there is only one operating segment under the requirements of HKFRS 8 Operating Segments.

There is no single external customer that contributed to more than 10% revenue of the Group’s revenue for the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016 and the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2016.

The Group is domiciled in Hong Kong and all revenue was generated from customers located in Hong Kong. As at 31 March 2015 and 2016 and 30 June 2016, all non-current assets were located in Hong Kong.

The following is the text of a report received from PricewaterhouseCoopers, Certified Public Accountants, Hong Kong, for the purpose of incorporation in this prospectus.

==> picture [66 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANT’S ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To the Directors of WWPKG Holdings Company Limited

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of unaudited pro forma financial information of WWPKG Holdings Company Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) by the directors for illustrative purposes only. The unaudited pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma statement of adjusted net tangible assets of the Group as at 30 June 2016, and related notes (the “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information”) as set out on pages II-1 of the Company’s prospectus dated 30 December 2016, in connection with the proposed initial public offering of the shares of the Company. The applicable criteria on the basis of which the directors have compiled the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information are described on pages II-1.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled by the directors to illustrate the impact of the proposed initial public offering on the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2016 as if the proposed initial public offering had taken place at 30 June 2016. As part of this process, information about the Group’s financial position has been extracted by the directors from the Group’s financial information for the period ended 30 June 2016, on which an accountant’s report has been published.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The directors are responsible for compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 7.31 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”) and with reference to Accounting Guideline 7 “Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars” (“AG 7”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).

Our Independence and Quality Control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the HKICPA, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.

Our firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 issued by the HKICPA and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

APPENDIX II

and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Reporting Accountant’s Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 7.31(7) of the Listing Rules, on the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3420 “Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus”, issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountant plans and performs procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the directors have compiled the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 7.31 of the Listing Rules and with reference to AG 7 issued by the HKICPA.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.

The purpose of unaudited pro forma financial information included in a prospectus is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the entity as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the proposed initial public offering at 30 June 2016 would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the unaudited pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the directors in the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

  • ‰ The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and

  • ‰ The unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant’s judgement, having regard to the reporting accountant’s understanding of the nature of the Company, the event or transaction in respect of which the unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

– II-3 –

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

APPENDIX II

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the unaudited pro forma 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:

  • (a) the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been properly compiled by the directors of the Company on the basis stated;

  • (b) such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group; and

  • (c) the adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information as disclosed pursuant to paragraph 7.31(1) of the Listing Rules.

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANY AND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW

APPENDIX III

Set out below is a summary of certain provisions of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company and of certain aspects of Cayman Islands company law.

The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability on 8 June 2016 under the Companies Law. The Company’s constitutional documents consist of its amended and restated Memorandum of Association (“ Memorandum ”) and its amended and restated Articles of Association (“ Articles ”).

  1. MEMORANDUM OF ASSOCIATION

  2. (a) The Memorandum provides, inter alia, that the liability of members of the Company is limited and that the objects for which the Company is established are unrestricted (and therefore include acting as an investment company), and that the Company shall have and be capable of exercising any and all of the powers at any time or from time to time exercisable by a natural person or body corporate whether as principal, agent, contractor or otherwise and, since the Company is an exempted company, that the Company will not trade in the Cayman Islands with any person, firm or corporation except in furtherance of the business of the Company carried on outside the Cayman Islands.

  3. (b) By special resolution the Company may alter the Memorandum with respect to any objects, powers or other matters specified in it.

ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

The Articles were conditionally adopted on 16 December 2016 and will become effective on Listing Date. A summary of certain provisions of the Articles is set out below.

  • (a) Shares

(i) Classes of shares

The share capital of the Company consists of ordinary shares.

(ii) Variation of rights of existing shares or classes of shares

Subject to the Companies Law, if at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of shares, all or any of the special rights attached to any class of shares may (unless otherwise provided for by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) be varied, modified or abrogated either with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than three-fourths in nominal value of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. The provisions of the Articles relating to general meetings shall mutatis mutandis apply to every such separate general meeting, but so that the necessary quorum (other than at an adjourned meeting) shall be not less than two persons together holding (or, in the case of a shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative) or representing by proxy not less than one-third in nominal value of the issued shares of that class. Every holder of shares of the class shall be entitled on a poll to one vote for every such share held by him, and any holder of shares of the class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

– III-1 –

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANY AND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW

APPENDIX III

Any special rights conferred upon the holders of any shares or class of shares shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided in the rights attaching to the terms of issue of such shares, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu therewith.

(iii) Alteration of capital

The Company may, by an ordinary resolution of its members: (a) increase its share capital by the creation of new shares of such amount as it thinks expedient; (b) consolidate or divide all or any of its share capital into shares of larger or smaller amount than its existing shares; (c) divide its unissued shares into several classes and attach to such shares any preferential, deferred, qualified or special rights, privileges or conditions; (d) subdivide its shares or any of them into shares of an amount smaller than that fixed by the Memorandum; (e) cancel any shares which, at the date of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled; (f) make provision for the allotment and issue of shares which do not carry any voting rights; (g) change the currency of denomination of its share capital; and (h) reduce its share premium account in any manner authorised and subject to any conditions prescribed by law.

(iv) Transfer of shares

Subject to the Companies Law and the requirements of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Stock Exchange ”), all transfers of shares shall be effected by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or in such other form as the Board may approve and may be under hand or, if the transferor or transferee is a Clearing House or its nominee(s), under hand or by machine imprinted signature, or by such other manner of execution as the Board may approve from time to time.

Execution of the instrument of transfer shall be by or on behalf of the transferor and the transferee, provided that the Board may dispense with the execution of the instrument of transfer by the transferor or transferee or accept mechanically executed transfers. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of a share until the name of the transferee is entered in the register of members of the Company in respect of that share.

The Board may, in its absolute discretion, at any time and from time to time remove any share on the principal register to any branch register or any share on any branch register to the principal register or any other branch register. Unless the Board otherwise agrees, no shares on the principal register shall be removed to any branch register nor shall shares on any branch register be removed to the principal register or any other branch register. All removals and other documents of title shall be lodged for registration and registered, in the case of shares on any branch register, at the relevant registration office and, in the case of shares on the principal register, at the place at which the principal register is located.

– III-2 –

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANY AND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW

APPENDIX III

The Board may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register a transfer of any share (not being a fully paid up share) to a person of whom it does not approve or on which the Company has a lien. It may also decline to register a transfer of any share issued under any share option scheme upon which a restriction on transfer subsists or a transfer of any share to more than four joint holders.

The Board may decline to recognise any instrument of transfer unless a certain fee, up to such maximum sum as the Stock Exchange may determine to be payable, is paid to the Company, the instrument of transfer is properly stamped (if applicable), is in respect of only one class of share and is lodged at the relevant registration office or the place at which the principal register is located accompanied by the relevant share certificate(s) and such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require is provided to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer (and if the instrument of transfer is executed by some other person on his behalf, the authority of that person so to do).

The register of members may, subject to the GEM Listing Rules, be closed at such time or for such period not exceeding in the whole 30 days in each year as the Board may determine.

Fully paid shares shall be free from any restriction on transfer (except when permitted by the Stock Exchange) and shall also be free from all liens.

(v) Power of the Company to purchase its own shares

The Company may purchase its own shares subject to certain restrictions and the Board may only exercise this power on behalf of the Company subject to any applicable requirement imposed from time to time by the Articles or any, code, rules or regulations issued from time to time by the Stock Exchange and/or the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong.

Where the Company purchases for redemption a redeemable Share, purchases not made through the market or by tender shall be limited to a maximum price and, if purchases are by tender, tenders shall be available to all members alike.

(vi) Power of any subsidiary of the Company to own shares in the Company

There are no provisions in the Articles relating to the ownership of shares in the Company by a subsidiary.

(vii) Calls on shares and forfeiture of shares

The Board may, from time to time, make such calls as it thinks fit upon the members in respect of any monies unpaid on the shares held by them respectively (whether on account of the nominal value of the shares or by way of premium) and not by the conditions of allotment of such shares made payable at fixed times. A call may be made payable either in one sum or by instalments. If the sum payable in respect of any call or instalment is not paid on or before the day appointed for payment thereof, the person or persons from whom the sum is due shall pay interest on the same at such rate

– III-3 –

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANY AND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW

APPENDIX III

not exceeding 20% per annum as the Board shall fix from the day appointed for payment to the time of actual payment, but the Board may waive payment of such interest wholly or in part. The Board may, if it thinks fit, receive from any member willing to advance the same, either in money or money’s worth, all or any part of the money uncalled and unpaid or instalments payable upon any shares held by him, and in respect of all or any of the monies so advanced the Company may pay interest at such rate (if any) not exceeding 20% per annum as the Board may decide.

If a member fails to pay any call or instalment of a call on the day appointed for payment, the Board may, for so long as any part of the call or instalment remains unpaid, serve not less than 14 days’ notice on the member requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued and which may still accrue up to the date of actual payment. The notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of 14 days from the date of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall also name the place where payment is to be made. The notice shall also state that, in the event of nonpayment at or before the appointed time, the shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

If the requirements of any such notice are not complied with, any share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Board to that effect. Such forfeiture will include all dividends and bonuses declared in respect of the forfeited share and not actually paid before the forfeiture.

A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a member in respect of the forfeited shares but shall, nevertheless, remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which, at the date of forfeiture, were payable by him to the Company in respect of the shares together with (if the Board shall in its discretion so require) interest thereon from the date of forfeiture until payment at such rate not exceeding 20% per annum as the Board may prescribe.

(b) Directors

(i) Appointment, retirement and removal

At any time or from time to time, the Board shall have the power to appoint any person as a Director either to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or as an additional Director to the existing Board subject to any maximum number of Directors, if any, as may be determined by the members in general meeting. Any Director so appointed to fill a casual vacancy shall hold office only until the first general meeting of the Company after his appointment and be subject to re-election at such meeting. Any Director so appointed as an addition to the existing Board shall hold office only until the first annual general meeting of the Company after his appointment and be eligible for reelection at such meeting. Any Director so appointed by the Board shall not be taken into account in determining the Directors or the number of Directors who are to retire by rotation at an annual general meeting.

– III-4 –

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANY AND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW

APPENDIX III

At each annual general meeting, one third of the Directors for the time being shall retire from office by rotation. However, if the number of Directors is not a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not less than one third shall be the number of retiring Directors. The Directors to retire in each year shall be those who have been in office longest since their last re-election or appointment but, as between persons who became or were last re-elected Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot.

No person, other than a retiring Director, shall, unless recommended by the Board for election, be eligible for election to the office of Director at any general meeting, unless notice in writing of the intention to propose that person for election as a Director and notice in writing by that person of his willingness to be elected has been lodged at the head office or at the registration office of the Company. The period for lodgement of such notices shall commence no earlier than the day after despatch of the notice of the relevant meeting and end no later than seven days before the date of such meeting and the minimum length of the period during which such notices may be lodged must be at least seven days.

A Director is not required to hold any shares in the Company by way of qualification nor is there any specified upper or lower age limit for Directors either for accession to or retirement from the Board.

A Director may be removed by an ordinary resolution of the Company before the expiration of his term of office (but without prejudice to any claim which such Director may have for damages for any breach of any contract between him and the Company) and the Company may by ordinary resolution appoint another in his place. Any Director so appointed shall be subject to the “retirement by rotation” provisions. The number of Directors shall not be less than two.

The office of a Director shall be vacated if he:

  • (aa) resigns;

  • (bb) dies;

  • (cc) is declared to be of unsound mind and the Board resolves that his office be vacated;

  • (dd) becomes bankrupt or has a receiving order made against him or suspends payment or compounds with his creditors generally;

  • (ee) he is prohibited from being or ceases to be a director by operation of law;

  • (ff) without special leave, is absent from meetings of the Board for six consecutive months, and the Board resolves that his office is vacated;

  • (gg) has been required by the stock exchange of the Relevant Territory (as defined in the Articles) to cease to be a Director; or

– III-5 –

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANY AND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW

APPENDIX III

  • (hh) is removed from office by the requisite majority of the Directors or otherwise pursuant to the Articles.

From time to time the Board may appoint one or more of its body to be managing director, joint managing director or deputy managing director or to hold any other employment or executive office with the Company for such period and upon such terms as the Board may determine, and the Board may revoke or terminate any of such appointments. The Board may also delegate any of its powers to committees consisting of such Director(s) or other person(s) as the Board thinks fit, and from time to time it may also revoke such delegation or revoke the appointment of and discharge any such committees either wholly or in part, and either as to persons or purposes, but every committee so formed shall, in the exercise of the powers so delegated, conform to any regulations that may from time to time be imposed upon it by the Board.

(ii) Power to allot and issue shares and warrants

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, the Memorandum and Articles and without prejudice to any special rights conferred on the holders of any shares or class of shares, any share may be issued with or have attached to it such rights, or such restrictions, whether with regard to dividend, voting, return of capital or otherwise, as the Company may by ordinary resolution determine (or, in the absence of any such determination or so far as the same may not make specific provision, as the Board may determine). Any share may be issued on terms that, upon the happening of a specified event or upon a given date and either at the option of the Company or the holder of the share, it is liable to be redeemed.

The Board may issue warrants to subscribe for any class of shares or other securities of the Company on such terms as it may from time to time determine.

Where warrants are issued to bearer, no certificate in respect of such warrants shall be issued to replace one that has been lost unless the Board is satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the original certificate has been destroyed and the Company has received an indemnity in such form as the Board thinks fit with regard to the issue of any such replacement certificate.

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, the Articles and, where applicable, the rules of any stock exchange of the Relevant Territory (as defined in the Articles) and without prejudice to any special rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any shares or any class of shares, all unissued shares in the Company shall be at the disposal of the Board, which may offer, allot, grant options over or otherwise dispose of them to such persons, at such times, for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as it in its absolute discretion thinks fit, but so that no shares shall be issued at a discount.

Neither the Company nor the Board shall be obliged, when making or granting any allotment of, offer of, option over or disposal of shares, to make, or make available, any such allotment, offer, option or shares to members or others whose registered addresses

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANY AND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW

are in any particular territory or territories where, in the absence of a registration statement or other special formalities, this is or may, in the opinion of the Board, be unlawful or impracticable. However, no member affected as a result of the foregoing shall be, or be deemed to be, a separate class of members for any purpose whatsoever.

(iii) Power to dispose of the assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries

While there are no specific provisions in the Articles relating to the disposal of the assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Board may exercise all powers and do all acts and things which may be exercised or done or approved by the Company and which are not required by the Articles or the Companies Law to be exercised or done by the Company in general meeting, but if such power or act is regulated by the Company in general meeting, such regulation shall not invalidate any prior act of the Board which would have been valid if such regulation had not been made.

(iv) Borrowing powers

The Board may exercise all the powers of the Company to raise or borrow money, to mortgage or charge all or any part of the undertaking, property and uncalled capital of the Company and, subject to the Companies Law, to issue debentures, debenture stock, bonds and other securities of the Company, whether outright or as collateral security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any third party.

(v) Remuneration

The Directors shall be entitled to receive, as ordinary remuneration for their services, such sums as shall from time to time be determined by the Board or the Company in general meeting, as the case may be, such sum (unless otherwise directed by the resolution by which it is determined) to be divided among the Directors in such proportions and in such manner as they may agree or, failing agreement, either equally or, in the case of any Director holding office for only a portion of the period in respect of which the remuneration is payable, pro rata. The Directors shall also be entitled to be repaid all expenses reasonably incurred by them in attending any Board meetings, committee meetings or general meetings or otherwise in connection with the discharge of their duties as Directors. Such remuneration shall be in addition to any other remuneration to which a Director who holds any salaried employment or office in the Company may be entitled by reason of such employment or office.

Any Director who, at the request of the Company, performs services which in the opinion of the Board go beyond the ordinary duties of a Director may be paid such special or extra remuneration as the Board may determine, in addition to or in substitution for any ordinary remuneration as a Director. An executive Director appointed to be a managing director, joint managing director, deputy managing director or other executive officer shall receive such remuneration and such other benefits and allowances as the Board may from time to time decide. Such remuneration shall be in addition to his ordinary remuneration as a Director.

– III-7 –

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANY AND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW

APPENDIX III

The Board may establish, either on its own or jointly in concurrence or agreement with subsidiaries of the Company or companies with which the Company is associated in business, or may make contributions out of the Company’s monies to, any schemes or funds for providing pensions, sickness or compassionate allowances, life assurance or other benefits for employees (which expression as used in this and the following paragraph shall include any Director or former Director who may hold or have held any executive office or any office of profit with the Company or any of its subsidiaries) and former employees of the Company and their dependents or any class or classes of such persons.

The Board may also pay, enter into agreements to pay or make grants of revocable or irrevocable, whether or not subject to any terms or conditions, pensions or other benefits to employees and former employees and their dependents, or to any of such persons, including pensions or benefits additional to those, if any, to which such employees or former employees or their dependents are or may become entitled under any such scheme or fund as mentioned above. Such pension or benefit may, if deemed desirable by the Board, be granted to an employee either before and in anticipation of, or upon or at any time after, his actual retirement.

(vi) Compensation or payments for loss of office

Payments to any present Director or past Director of any sum by way of compensation for loss of office or as consideration for or in connection with his retirement from office (not being a payment to which the Director is contractually or statutorily entitled) must be approved by the Company in general meeting.

( vii) Loans and provision of security for loans to Directors

The Company shall not directly or indirectly make a loan to a Director or a director of any holding company of the Company or any of their respective close associates, enter into any guarantee or provide any security in connection with a loan made by any person to a Director or a director of any holding company of the Company or any of their respective close associates, or, if any one or more of the Directors hold(s) (jointly or severally or directly or indirectly) a controlling interest in another company, make a loan to that other company or enter into any guarantee or provide any security in connection with a loan made by any person to that other company.

(viii) Disclosure of interest in contracts with the Company or any of its subsidiaries

With the exception of the office of auditor of the Company, a Director may hold any other office or place of profit with the Company in conjunction with his office of Director for such period and upon such terms as the Board may determine, and may be paid such extra remuneration for that other office or place of profit, in whatever form, in addition to any remuneration provided for by or pursuant to any other Articles. A Director may be or become a director, officer or member of any other company in which the Company may be interested, and shall not be liable to account to the Company or the members for any remuneration or other benefits received by him as a director, officer or

The Board may also cause the voting power conferred by the shares in any other company held or owned by the Company to be exercised in such manner in all respects as it thinks fit, including the exercise in favour of any resolution appointing the Directors or any of them to be directors or officers of such other company.

No Director or intended Director shall be disqualified by his office from contracting with the Company, nor shall any such contract or any other contract or arrangement in which any Director is in any way interested be liable to be avoided, nor shall any Director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for any profit realised by any such contract or arrangement by reason only of such Director holding that office or the fiduciary relationship established by it. A Director who is, in any way, materially interested in a contract or arrangement or proposed contract or arrangement with the Company shall declare the nature of his interest at the earliest meeting of the Board at which he may practically do so.

There is no power to freeze or otherwise impair any of the rights attaching to any share by reason that the person or persons who are interested directly or indirectly in that share have failed to disclose their interests to the Company.

A Director shall not vote or be counted in the quorum on any resolution of the Board in respect of any contract or arrangement or proposal in which he or any of his close associate(s) has/have a material interest, and if he shall do so his vote shall not be counted nor shall he be counted in the quorum for that resolution, but this prohibition shall not apply to any of the following matters:

  • (aa) the giving of any security or indemnity to the Director or his close associate(s) in respect of money lent or obligations incurred or undertaken by him or any of them at the request of or for the benefit of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

  • (bb) the giving of any security or indemnity to a third party in respect of a debt or obligation of the Company or any of its subsidiaries for which the Director or his close associate(s) has/have himself/themselves assumed responsibility in whole or in part whether alone or jointly under a guarantee or indemnity or by the giving of security;

  • (cc) any proposal concerning an offer of shares, debentures or other securities of or by the Company or any other company which the Company may promote or be interested in for subscription or purchase, where the Director or his close associate(s) is/are or is/are to be interested as a participant in the underwriting or sub-underwriting of the offer;

  • (dd) any proposal or arrangement concerning the benefit of employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, including the adoption, modification or operation of either: (i) any employees’ share scheme or any share incentive or

share option scheme under which the Director or his close associate(s) may benefit; or (ii) any of a pension fund or retirement, death or disability benefits scheme which relates to Directors, their close associates and employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and does not provide in respect of any Director or his close associate(s) any privilege or advantage not generally accorded to the class of persons to which such scheme or fund relates; and

  • (ee) any contract or arrangement in which the Director or his close associate(s) is/ are interested in the same manner as other holders of shares, debentures or other securities of the Company by virtue only of his/their interest in those shares, debentures or other securities.

(ix) Proceedings of the Board

The Board may meet anywhere in the world for the despatch of business and may adjourn and otherwise regulate its meetings as it thinks fit. Questions arising at any meeting shall be determined by a majority of votes. In the case of an equality of votes, the chairman of the meeting shall have a second or casting vote.

(c) Alterations to the constitutional documents and the Company’s name

To the extent that the same is permissible under Cayman Islands law and subject to the Articles, the Memorandum and Articles of the Company may only be altered or amended, and the name of the Company may only be changed, with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company.

(d) Meetings of member

(i) Special and ordinary resolutions

A special resolution of the Company must be passed by a majority of not less than three-fourths of the votes cast by such members as, being entitled so to do, vote in person or by proxy or, in the case of members which are corporations, by their duly authorised representatives or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at a general meeting of which notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution has been duly given.

Under Companies Law, a copy of any special resolution must be forwarded to the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands within 15 days of being passed.

An “ordinary resolution”, by contrast, is a resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes of such members of the Company as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, in the case of members which are corporations, by their duly authorised representatives or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at a general meeting of which notice has been duly given.

– III-10 –

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANY AND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW

APPENDIX III

A resolution in writing signed by or on behalf of all members shall be treated as an ordinary resolution duly passed at a general meeting of the Company duly convened and held, and where relevant as a special resolution so passed.

(ii) Voting rights and right to demand a poll

Subject to any special rights, restrictions or privileges as to voting for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares at any general meeting: (a) on a poll every member present in person or by proxy or, in the case of a member being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative shall have one vote for every share which is fully paid or credited as fully paid registered in his name in the register of members of the Company but so that no amount paid up or credited as paid up on a share in advance of calls or instalments is treated for this purpose as paid up on the share; and (b) on a show of hands every member who is present in person (or, in the case of a member being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative) or by proxy shall have one vote. Where more than one proxy is appointed by a member which is a Clearing House (as defined in the Articles) or its nominee(s), each such proxy shall have one vote on a show of hands. On a poll, a member entitled to more than one vote need not use all his votes or cast all the votes he does use in the same way.

At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting is to be decided by poll save that the chairman of the meeting may, pursuant to the GEM Listing Rules, allow a resolution to be voted on by a show of hands. Where a show of hands is allowed, before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands, a poll may be demanded by (in each case by members present in person or by proxy or by a duly authorised corporate representative):

  • (A) at least two members;

  • (B) any member or members representing not less than one-tenth of the total voting rights of all the members having the right to vote at the meeting; or

  • (C) a member or members holding shares in the Company conferring a right to vote at the meeting on which an aggregate sum has been paid equal to not less than one-tenth of the total sum paid up on all the shares conferring that right.

Should a Clearing House or its nominee(s) be a member of the Company, such person or persons may be authorised as it thinks fit to act as its representative(s) at any meeting of the Company or at any meeting of any class of members of the Company provided that, if more than one person is so authorised, the authorisation shall specify the number and class of shares in respect of which each such person is so authorised. A person authorised in accordance with this provision shall be deemed to have been duly authorised without further evidence of the facts and be entitled to exercise the same rights and powers on behalf of the Clearing House or its nominee(s) as if such person were an individual member including the right to vote individually on a show of hands.

– III-11 –

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANY AND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW

APPENDIX III

Where the Company has knowledge that any member is, under the GEM Listing Rules, required to abstain from voting on any particular resolution or restricted to voting only for or only against any particular resolution, any votes cast by or on behalf of such member in contravention of such requirement or restriction shall not be counted.

(iii) Annual general meetings

The Company must hold an annual general meeting each year other than the year of the Company’s adoption of the Articles. Such meeting must be held not more than 15 months after the holding of the last preceding annual general meeting, or such longer period as may be authorised by the Stock Exchange at such time and place as may be determined by the Board.

(iv) Notices of meetings and business to be conducted

An annual general meeting of the Company shall be called by at least 21 days’ notice in writing, and any other general meeting of the Company shall be called by at least 14 days’ notice in writing. The notice shall be exclusive of the day on which it is served or deemed to be served and of the day for which it is given, and must specify the time, place and agenda of the meeting and particulars of the resolution(s) to be considered at that meeting and, in the case of special business, the general nature of that business.

Except where otherwise expressly stated, any notice or document (including a share certificate) to be given or issued under the Articles shall be in writing, and may be served by the Company on any member personally, by post to such member’s registered address or (in the case of a notice) by advertisement in the newspapers. Any member whose registered address is outside Hong Kong may notify the Company in writing of an address in Hong Kong which shall be deemed to be his registered address for this purpose. Subject to the Companies Law and the GEM Listing Rules, a notice or document may also be served or delivered by the Company to any member by electronic means.

Although a meeting of the Company may be called by shorter notice than as specified above, such meeting may be deemed to have been duly called if it is so agreed:

  • (i) in the case of an annual general meeting, by all members of the Company entitled to attend and vote thereat; and

  • (ii) in the case of any other meeting, by a majority in number of the members having a right to attend and vote at the meeting holding not less than 95% of the total voting rights in the Company.

All business transacted at an extraordinary general meeting shall be deemed special business. All business shall also be deemed special business where it is transacted at an annual general meeting, with the exception of certain routine matters which shall be deemed ordinary business.

– III-12 –

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANY AND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW

APPENDIX III

(v) Quorum for meetings and separate class meetings

No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present when the meeting proceeds to business, and continues to be present until the conclusion of the meeting.

The quorum for a general meeting shall be two members present in person (or in the case of a member being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative) or by proxy and entitled to vote. In respect of a separate class meeting (other than an adjourned meeting) convened to sanction the modification of class rights the necessary quorum shall be two persons holding or representing by proxy not less than one-third in nominal value of the issued shares of that class.

(vi) Proxies

Any member of the Company entitled to attend and vote at a meeting of the Company is entitled to appoint another person as his proxy to attend and vote instead of him. A member who is the holder of two or more shares may appoint more than one proxy to represent him and vote on his behalf at a general meeting of the Company or at a class meeting. A proxy need not be a member of the Company and shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of a member who is an individual and for whom he acts as proxy as such member could exercise. In addition, a proxy shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of a member which is a corporation and for which he acts as proxy as such member could exercise if it were an individual member. On a poll or on a show of hands, votes may be given either personally (or, in the case of a member being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative) or by proxy.

The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney duly authorised in writing, or if the appointor is a corporation, either under seal or under the hand of a duly authorised officer or attorney. Every instrument of proxy, whether for a specified meeting or otherwise, shall be in such form as the Board may from time to time approve, provided that it shall not preclude the use of the two-way form. Any form issued to a member for appointing a proxy to attend and vote at an extraordinary general meeting or at an annual general meeting at which any business is to be transacted shall be such as to enable the member, according to his intentions, to instruct the proxy to vote in favour of or against (or, in default of instructions, to exercise his discretion in respect of) each resolution dealing with any such business.

(e) Accounts and audit

The Board shall cause proper books of account to be kept of the sums of money received and expended by the Company, and of the assets and liabilities of the Company and of all other matters required by the Companies Law (which include all sales and purchases of goods by the company) necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs and to show and explain its transactions.

– III-13 –

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANY AND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW

APPENDIX III

The books of accounts of the Company shall be kept at the head office of the Company or at such other place or places as the Board decides and shall always be open to inspection by any Director. No member (other than a Director) shall have any right to inspect any account, book or document of the Company except as conferred by the Companies Law or ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or authorised by the Board or the Company in general meeting.

The Board shall from time to time cause to be prepared and laid before the Company at its annual general meeting balance sheets and profit and loss accounts (including every document required by law to be annexed thereto), together with a copy of the Directors’ report and a copy of the auditors’ report, not less than 21 days before the date of the annual general meeting. Copies of these documents shall be sent to every person entitled to receive notices of general meetings of the Company under the provisions of the Articles together with the notice of annual general meeting, not less than 21 days before the date of the meeting.

Subject to the rules of the stock exchange of the Relevant Territory (as defined in the Articles), the Company may send summarised financial statements to shareholders who have, in accordance with the rules of the stock exchange of the Relevant Territory, consented and elected to receive summarised financial statements instead of the full financial statements. The summarised financial statements must be accompanied by any other documents as may be required under the rules of the stock exchange of the Relevant Territory, and must be sent to those shareholders that have consented and elected to receive the summarised financial statements not less than 21 days before the general meeting.

The Company shall appoint auditor(s) to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting on such terms and with such duties as may be agreed with the Board. The auditors’ remuneration shall be fixed by the Company in general meeting or by the Board if authority is so delegated by the members.

The auditors shall audit the financial statements of the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of Hong Kong, the International Accounting Standards or such other standards as may be permitted by the Stock Exchange.

(f) Dividends and other methods of distribution

The Company in general meeting may declare dividends in any currency to be paid to the members but no dividend shall be declared in excess of the amount recommended by the Board.

Except in so far as the rights attaching to, or the terms of issue of, any share may otherwise provide:

  • (i) all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the shares in respect of which the dividend is paid, although no amount paid up on a share in advance of calls shall for this purpose be treated as paid up on the share;

– III-14 –

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANY AND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW

APPENDIX III

  • (ii) all dividends shall be apportioned and paid pro rata in accordance with the amount paid up on the shares during any portion(s) of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid; and

  • (iii) the Board may deduct from any dividend or other monies payable to any member all sums of money (if any) presently payable by him to the Company on account of calls, instalments or otherwise.

Where the Board or the Company in general meeting has resolved that a dividend should be paid or declared, the Board may resolve:

  • (aa) that such dividend be satisfied wholly or in part in the form of an allotment of shares credited as fully paid up, provided that the members entitled to such dividend will be entitled to elect to receive such dividend (or part thereof) in cash in lieu of such allotment; or

  • (bb) that the members entitled to such dividend will be entitled to elect to receive an allotment of shares credited as fully paid up in lieu of the whole or such part of the dividend as the Board may think fit.

Upon the recommendation of the Board, the Company may by ordinary resolution in respect of any one particular dividend of the Company determine that it may be satisfied wholly in the form of an allotment of shares credited as fully paid up without offering any right to members to elect to receive such dividend in cash in lieu of such allotment.

Any dividend, bonus or other sum payable in cash to the holder of shares may be paid by cheque or warrant sent through the post. Every such cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent and shall be sent at the holder’s or joint holders’ risk and payment of the cheque or warrant by the bank on which it is drawn shall constitute a good discharge to the Company. Any one of two or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any dividends or other monies payable or property distributable in respect of the shares held by such joint holders.

Whenever the Board or the Company in general meeting has resolved that a dividend be paid or declared, the Board may further resolve that such dividend be satisfied wholly or in part by the distribution of specific assets of any kind.

The Board may, if it thinks fit, receive from any member willing to advance the same, and either in money or money’s worth, all or any part of the money uncalled and unpaid or instalments payable upon any shares held by him, and in respect of all or any of the monies so advanced may pay interest at such rate (if any) not exceeding 20% per annum, as the Board may decide, but a payment in advance of a call shall not entitle the member to receive any dividend or to exercise any other rights or privileges as a member in respect of the share or the due portion of the shares upon which payment has been advanced by such member before it is called up.

– III-15 –

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANY AND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW

APPENDIX III

All dividends, bonuses or other distributions unclaimed for one year after having been declared may be invested or otherwise used by the Board for the benefit of the Company until claimed and the Company shall not be constituted a trustee in respect thereof. All dividends, bonuses or other distributions unclaimed for six years after having been declared may be forfeited by the Board and, upon such forfeiture, shall revert to the Company.

No dividend or other monies payable by the Company on or in respect of any share shall bear interest against the Company.

The Company may exercise the power to cease sending cheques for dividend entitlements or dividend warrants by post if such cheques or warrants remain uncashed on two consecutive occasions or after the first occasion on which such a cheque or warrant is returned undelivered.

(g) Inspection of corporate records

For so long as any part of the share capital of the Company is listed on the Stock Exchange, any member may inspect any register of members of the Company maintained in Hong Kong (except when the register of members is closed) without charge and require the provision to him of copies or extracts of such register in all respects as if the Company were incorporated under and were subject to the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

(h) Rights of minorities in relation to fraud or oppression

There are no provisions in the Articles concerning the rights of minority members in relation to fraud or oppression. However, certain remedies may be available to members of the Company under Cayman Islands law, as summarised in paragraph 3(f) of this Appendix.

(i) Procedures on liquidation

A resolution that the Company be wound up by the court or be wound up voluntarily shall be a special resolution.

Subject to any special rights, privileges or restrictions as to the distribution of available surplus assets on liquidation for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares:

  • (i) if the Company is wound up and the assets available for distribution among the members of the Company are more than sufficient to repay the whole of the capital paid up at the commencement of the winding up, then the excess shall be distributed pari passu among such members in proportion to the amount paid up on the shares held by them respectively; and

  • (ii) if the Company is wound up and the assets available for distribution among the members as such are insufficient to repay the whole of the paid-up capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the members in proportion to the capital paid up on the shares held by them, respectively.

– III-16 –

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANY AND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW

APPENDIX III

If the Company is wound up (whether the liquidation is voluntary or compelled by the court), the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution and any other sanction required by the Companies Law, divide among the members in specie or kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company, whether the assets consist of property of one kind or different kinds, and the liquidator may, for such purpose, set such value as he deems fair upon any one or more class or classes of property to be so divided and may determine how such division shall be carried out as between the members or different classes of members and the members within each class. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest any part of the assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of members as the liquidator thinks fit, but so that no member shall be compelled to accept any shares or other property upon which there is a liability.

(j) Subscription rights reserve

Provided that it is not prohibited by and is otherwise in compliance with the Companies Law, if warrants to subscribe for shares have been issued by the Company and the Company does any act or engages in any transaction which would result in the subscription price of such warrants being reduced below the par value of the shares to be issued on the exercise of such warrants, a subscription rights reserve shall be established and applied in paying up the difference between the subscription price and the par value of such shares.

3. CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW

The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company on 8 June 2016 subject to the Companies Law. Certain provisions of Cayman Islands company law are set out below but this section does not purport to contain all applicable qualifications and exceptions or to be a complete review of all matters of the Companies Law and taxation, which may differ from equivalent provisions in jurisdictions with which interested parties may be more familiar.

(a) Company operations

An exempted company such as the Company must conduct its operations mainly outside the Cayman Islands. An exempted company is also required to file an annual return each year with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands and pay a fee which is based on the amount of its authorised share capital.

(b) Share capital

Under Companies Law, a Cayman Islands company may issue ordinary, preference or redeemable shares or any combination thereof. Where a company issues shares at a premium, whether for cash or otherwise, a sum equal to the aggregate amount of value of the premiums on those shares shall be transferred to an account, to be called the “share premium account”. At the option of a company, these provisions may not apply to premiums on shares of that company allotted pursuant to any arrangements in consideration of the acquisition or cancellation of shares in any other company and issued at a premium. The share premium

– III-17 –

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANY AND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW

APPENDIX III

account may be applied by the company subject to the provisions, if any, of its memorandum and articles of association, in such manner as the company may from time to time determine including, but without limitation, the following:

  • (i) paying distributions or dividends to members;

  • (ii) paying up unissued shares of the company to be issued to members as fully paid bonus shares;

  • (iii) any manner provided in section 37 of the Companies Law;

  • (iv) writing-off the preliminary expenses of the company; and

  • (v) writing-off the expenses of, or the commission paid or discount allowed on, any issue of shares or debentures of the company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no distribution or dividend may be paid to members out of the share premium account unless, immediately following the date on which the distribution or dividend is proposed to be paid, the company will be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

Subject to confirmation by the court, a company limited by shares or a company limited by guarantee and having a share capital may, if authorised to do so by its articles of association, by special resolution reduce its share capital in any way.

(c) Financial assistance to purchase shares of a company or its holding company

There are no statutory prohibitions in the Cayman Islands on the granting of financial assistance by a company to another person for the purchase of, or subscription for, its own, its holding company’s or a subsidiary’s shares. Therefore, a company may provide financial assistance provided the directors of the company, when proposing to grant such financial assistance, discharge their duties of care and act in good faith, for a proper purpose and in the interests of the company. Such assistance should be on an arm’s-length basis.

(d) Purchase of shares and warrants by a company and its subsidiaries

A company limited by shares or a company limited by guarantee and having a share capital may, if so authorised by its articles of association, issue shares which are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the company or a member and, for the avoidance of doubt, it shall be lawful for the rights attaching to any shares to be varied, subject to the provisions of the company’s articles of association, so as to provide that such shares are to be or are liable to be so redeemed. In addition, such a company may, if authorised to do so by its articles of association, purchase its own shares, including any redeemable shares; an ordinary resolution of the company approving the manner and terms of the purchase will be required if the articles of association do not authorise the manner and terms of such purchase. A company may not redeem or purchase its shares unless they are fully paid. Furthermore, a company may not redeem or purchase any of its shares if, as a

– III-18 –

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANY AND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW

APPENDIX III

result of the redemption or purchase, there would no longer be any issued shares of the company other than shares held as treasury shares. In addition, a payment out of capital by a company for the redemption or purchase of its own shares is not lawful unless, immediately following the date on which the payment is proposed to be made, the company shall be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.

Shares that have been purchased or redeemed by a company or surrendered to the company shall not be treated as cancelled but shall be classified as treasury shares if held in compliance with the requirements of Section 37A(1) of the Companies Law. Any such shares shall continue to be classified as treasury shares until such shares are either cancelled or transferred pursuant to the Companies Law.

A Cayman Islands company may be able to purchase its own warrants subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the relevant warrant instrument or certificate. Thus there is no requirement under Cayman Islands law that a company’s memorandum or articles of association contain a specific provision enabling such purchases. The directors of a company may under the general power contained in its memorandum of association be able to buy, sell and deal in personal property of all kinds.

A subsidiary may hold shares in its holding company and, in certain circumstances, may acquire such shares.

(e) Dividends and distributions

Subject to a solvency test, as prescribed in the Companies Law, and the provisions, if any, of the company’s memorandum and articles of association, a company may pay dividends and distributions out of its share premium account. In addition, based upon English case law which is likely to be persuasive in the Cayman Islands, dividends may be paid out of profits.

For so long as a company holds treasury shares, no dividend may be declared or paid, and no other distribution (whether in cash or otherwise) of the company’s assets (including any distribution of assets to members on a winding up) may be made, in respect of a treasury share.

(f) Protection of minorities and shareholders’ suits

It can be expected that the Cayman Islands courts will ordinarily follow English case law precedents (particularly the rule in the case of Foss v. Harbottle and the exceptions to that rule) which permit a minority member to commence a representative action against or derivative actions in the name of the company to challenge acts which are ultra vires, illegal, fraudulent (and performed by those in control of the Company) against the minority, or represent an irregularity in the passing of a resolution which requires a qualified (or special) majority which has not been obtained.

Where a company (not being a bank) is one which has a share capital divided into shares, the court may, on the application of members holding not less than one-fifth of the

– III-19 –

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANY AND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW

APPENDIX III

shares of the company in issue, appoint an inspector to examine the affairs of the company and, at the direction of the court, to report on such affairs. In addition, any member of a company may petition the court, which may make a winding up order if the court is of the opinion that it is just and equitable that the company should be wound up.

In general, claims against a company by its members must be based on the general laws of contract or tort applicable in the Cayman Islands or be based on potential violation of their individual rights as members as established by a company’s memorandum and articles of association.

(g) Disposal of assets

There are no specific restrictions on the power of directors to dispose of assets of a company, however, the directors are expected to exercise certain duties of care, diligence and skill to the standard that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances, in addition to fiduciary duties to act in good faith, for proper purpose and in the best interests of the company under English common law (which the Cayman Islands courts will ordinarily follow).

(h) Accounting and auditing requirements

A company must cause proper records of accounts to be kept with respect to: (i) all sums of money received and expended by it; (ii) all sales and purchases of goods by it and (iii) its assets and liabilities.

Proper books of account shall not be deemed to be kept if there are not kept such books as are necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the company’s affairs and to explain its transactions.

If a company keeps its books of account at any place other than at its registered office or any other place within the Cayman Islands, it shall, upon service of an order or notice by the Tax Information Authority pursuant to the Tax Information Authority Law (2013 Revision) of the Cayman Islands, make available, in electronic form or any other medium, at its registered office copies of its books of account, or any part or parts thereof, as are specified in such order or notice.

(i) Exchange control

There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in effect in the Cayman Islands.

(j) Taxation

Pursuant to section 6 of the Tax Concessions Law (2011 Revision) of the Cayman Islands, the Company has obtained an undertaking from the Governor-in-Cabinet that:

  • (i) no law which is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits or income or gains or appreciation shall apply to the Company or its operations; and

– III-20 –

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANY AND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW

APPENDIX III

  • (ii) no tax be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable by the Company:

  • (aa) on or in respect of the shares, debentures or other obligations of the Company; or

  • (bb) by way of withholding in whole or in part of any relevant payment as defined in section 6(3) of the Tax Concessions Law (2011 Revision).

The undertaking for the Company is for a period of 20 years from 12 July 2016.

The Cayman Islands currently levy no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciations and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to the Company levied by the Government of the Cayman Islands save for certain stamp duties which may be applicable, from time to time, on certain instruments.

(k) Stamp duty on transfers

No stamp duty is payable in the Cayman Islands on transfers of shares of Cayman Islands companies save for those which hold interests in land in the Cayman Islands.

(l) Loans to directors

There is no express provision prohibiting the making of loans by a company to any of its directors. However, the company’s articles of association may provide for the prohibition of such loans under specific circumstances.

(m) Inspection of corporate records

The members of a company have no general right to inspect or obtain copies of the register of members or corporate records of the company. They will, however, have such rights as may be set out in the company’s articles of association.

(n) Register of members

A Cayman Islands exempted company may maintain its principal register of members and any branch registers in any country or territory, whether within or outside the Cayman Islands, as the company may determine from time to time. There is no requirement for an exempted company to make any returns of members to the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands. The names and addresses of the members are, accordingly, not a matter of public record and are not available for public inspection. However, an exempted company shall make available at its registered office, in electronic form or any other medium, such register of members, including any branch register of member, as may be required of it upon service of an order or notice by the Tax Information Authority pursuant to the Tax Information Authority Law (2013 Revision) of the Cayman Islands.

– III-21 –

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANY AND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW

APPENDIX III

(o) Register of Directors and officers

Pursuant to the Companies Law, the Company is required to maintain at its registered office a register of directors, alternate directors and officers which is not available for inspection by the public. A copy of such register must be filed with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands and any change must be notified to the Registrar within 60 days of any change in such directors or officers, including a change of the name of such directors or officers.

(p) Winding up

A Cayman Islands company may be wound up by: (i) an order of the court; (ii) voluntarily by its members; or (iii) under the supervision of the court.

The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where, in the opinion of the court, it is just and equitable that such company be so wound up.

A voluntary winding up of a company (other than a limited duration company, for which specific rules apply) occurs where the company resolves by special resolution that it be wound up voluntarily or where the company in general meeting resolves that it be wound up voluntarily because it is unable to pay its debt as they fall due. In the case of a voluntary winding up, the company is obliged to cease to carry on its business from the commencement of its winding up except so far as it may be beneficial for its winding up. Upon appointment of a voluntary liquidator, all the powers of the directors cease, except so far as the company in general meeting or the liquidator sanctions their continuance.

In the case of a members’ voluntary winding up of a company, one or more liquidators are appointed for the purpose of winding up the affairs of the company and distributing its assets.

As soon as the affairs of a company are fully wound up, the liquidator must make a report and an account of the winding up, showing how the winding up has been conducted and the property of the company disposed of, and call a general meeting of the company for the purposes of laying before it the account and giving an explanation of that account.

When a resolution has been passed by a company to wind up voluntarily, the liquidator or any contributory or creditor may apply to the court for an order for the continuation of the winding up under the supervision of the court, on the grounds that: (i) the company is or is likely to become insolvent; or (ii) the supervision of the court will facilitate a more effective, economic or expeditious liquidation of the company in the interests of the contributories and creditors. A supervision order takes effect for all purposes as if it was an order that the company be wound up by the court except that a commenced voluntary winding up and the prior actions of the voluntary liquidator shall be valid and binding upon the company and its official liquidator.

– III-22 –

SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANY AND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW

APPENDIX III

For the purpose of conducting the proceedings in winding up a company and assisting the court, one or more persons may be appointed to be called an official liquidator(s).The court may appoint to such office such person or persons, either provisionally or otherwise, as it thinks fit, and if more than one person is appointed to such office, the court shall declare whether any act required or authorised to be done by the official liquidator is to be done by all or any one or more of such persons. The court may also determine whether any and what security is to be given by an official liquidator on his appointment; if no official liquidator is appointed, or during any vacancy in such office, all the property of the company shall be in the custody of the court.

(q) Reconstructions

Reconstructions and amalgamations may be approved by a majority in number representing 75% in value of the members or creditors, depending on the circumstances, as are present at a meeting called for such purpose and thereafter sanctioned by the courts. Whilst a dissenting member has the right to express to the court his view that the transaction for which approval is being sought would not provide the members with a fair value for their shares, the courts are unlikely to disapprove the transaction on that ground alone in the absence of evidence of fraud or bad faith on behalf of management, and if the transaction were approved and consummated the dissenting member would have no rights comparable to the appraisal rights (i.e. the right to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of their shares) ordinarily available, for example, to dissenting members of a United States corporation.

(r) Take-overs

Where an offer is made by a company for the shares of another company and, within four months of the offer, the holders of not less than 90% of the shares which are the subject of the offer accept, the offeror may, at any time within two months after the expiration of that four-month period, by notice require the dissenting members to transfer their shares on the terms of the offer. A dissenting member may apply to the Cayman Islands courts within one month of the notice objecting to the transfer. The burden is on the dissenting member to show that the court should exercise its discretion, which it will be unlikely to do unless there is evidence of fraud or bad faith or collusion as between the offeror and the holders of the shares who have accepted the offer as a means of unfairly forcing out minority members.

(s) Indemnification

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, save to the extent any such provision may be held by the court to be contrary to public policy, for example, where a provision purports to provide indemnification against the consequences of committing a crime.

7. Repurchase of our own securities

This paragraph includes information required by the Stock Exchange to be included in this prospectus concerning the repurchase by our Company of our own securities.

(a) Provisions of the GEM Listing Rules

The GEM Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their securities on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarised below:

(i) Shareholders’ approval

All proposed repurchases of securities on the Stock Exchange by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of general mandate or by specific approval in relation to specific transactions.

Note: Pursuant to the written resolution of our Shareholder passed on 16 December 2016, a general unconditional mandate (the “ Repurchase Mandate ”) was given to our Directors authorising repurchase of Shares by our Company as described above in “— A. Further information about our Company and our subsidiaries — 3. Written resolutions of our Shareholder passed on 16 December 2016”.

(ii) Source of funds

Any repurchases must be financed out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Memorandum and the Articles, the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.

(iii) Core connected persons

The GEM Listing Rules prohibit a company from knowingly repurchasing securities on the Stock Exchange from a “core connected person”, that is, a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the company or any of its subsidiaries or his or her or its close associates and a core connected person shall not knowingly sell his or her or its securities to such company.

(iv) Status of repurchased Shares

The listing of all repurchased Shares (whether offered on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) on GEM will automatically be cancelled and the certificates for those Shares shall be cancelled and destroyed.

– IV-4 –

STATUTORY AND GENERAL INFORMATION

APPENDIX IV

(v) Trading restrictions

The total number of shares which a listed company may repurchase on GEM is the number of shares representing up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate number of shares of that company in issue. A company may not issue or announce a proposed issue of new securities for a period of 30 days immediately following a repurchase (other than an issue of securities pursuant to an exercise of warrants, share options or similar instruments requiring the company to issue securities which were outstanding prior to such repurchase) without the prior approval of the Stock Exchange. In addition, a listed company is prohibited from repurchasing its shares on the Stock Exchange if the purchase price is 5% or higher than the average closing market price for the five preceding trading days on which its shares were traded on GEM. The GEM Listing Rules also prohibit a listed company from repurchasing its securities if the repurchase would result in the number of listed securities which are in the hands of the public falling below the relevant minimum prescribed percentage as required by the Stock Exchange. A company is required to procure that the broker appointed by it to effect a repurchase of securities discloses to the Stock Exchange such information with respect to the repurchase as the Stock Exchange may require.

(vi) Suspension of repurchase

A listed company may not make any repurchase of securities on the Stock Exchange at any time after inside information has come to its knowledge until the information is made publicly available. In particular, during the period of one month immediately preceding the earlier of (a) the date of the board meeting (as such date is first notified to the Stock Exchange in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules) for the approval of a listed company’s results for any year, halfyear, quarter-year or any other interim period (whether or not required under the GEM Listing Rules) and (b) the deadline for publication of an announcement of a listed company’s results for any year, half-year or quarter-year under the GEM Listing Rules, or any other interim period (whether or not required under the GEM Listing Rules), and ending on the date of the results announcement, the listed company may not repurchase its shares on the Stock Exchange other than in exceptional circumstances. In addition, the Stock Exchange may prohibit a repurchase of securities on GEM if a listed company has breached the GEM Listing Rules.

(vii) Reporting requirements

Certain information relating to repurchases of securities on the Stock Exchange or otherwise must be reported to the Stock Exchange not later than 30 minutes before the earlier of the commencement of the morning trading session or any pre-opening session on the following business day. In addition, a listed company’s annual report is required to disclose details regarding repurchases of securities made during the year, including a monthly analysis of the number of

– IV-5 –

STATUTORY AND GENERAL INFORMATION

APPENDIX IV

securities repurchased, the purchase price per share or the highest and lowest price paid for all such repurchases, where relevant, and the aggregate prices paid.

(b) Funding of purchases

In repurchasing securities, our Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Memorandum, the Articles, the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands. Pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, repurchases will be made out of funds of our Company legally permitted to be utilised in this connection, including profits and share premium of our Company or out of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, if authorised by the Articles and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital and, in the case of any premium payable on the repurchase, out of the profits of our Company or from sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of our Company or, if authorised by the Articles and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital of our Company.

Our Company may not repurchase securities on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

(c) Reasons for repurchases

Repurchases of Shares will only be made when our Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit our Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at that time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of our Company and/or its earnings per Share.

(d) Exercise of the Repurchase Mandate

Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate, on the basis of 400,000,000 Shares in issue immediately after completion of the Share Offer and the Capitalisation Issue (but taking no account of any Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of any options which may be granted under the Share Option Scheme), could accordingly result in up to 40,000,000 Shares being repurchased by our Company during the course of the period (the “ Relevant Period ”) prior to the earliest of:

  • (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of our Company;

  • (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of our Company is required by the Articles and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands to be held; or

  • (iii) the revocation, variation or renewal of the Repurchase Mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

– IV-6 –

STATUTORY AND GENERAL INFORMATION

APPENDIX IV

(e) General

None of our Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates, has any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to our Company or our subsidiaries.

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of our Company (as compared with the position disclosed in this prospectus) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, our Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of our Company or on its gearing levels which in the opinion of our Directors are from time to time appropriate for our Company.

Our Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the Memorandum, the Articles and all the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.

If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of our Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the interests of the Shareholder(s), could obtain or consolidate control of our Company and become(s) obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a result of a repurchase of Shares made after the Listing. Save as aforesaid, our Directors are not aware of any other consequence under the Takeovers Code as a result of a repurchase of Shares made immediately after the Listing.

Our Directors will not exercise the Repurchase Mandate if the repurchase would result in the number of Shares which are in the hands of the public falls below 25% of the total number of Shares in issue (or such other percentage as may be prescribed as the minimum public shareholding under the GEM Listing Rules from time to time).

No core connected person of our Company has notified our Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares to our Company or has undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised.

No repurchase of Shares has been made in the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date, and in fact since the incorporation of our Company.

Summary of terms of the Share Option Scheme

The following is a summary of the principal terms of the Share Option Scheme but does not form part of, nor was it intended to be, part of the Share Option Scheme nor should it be taken as affecting the interpretation of the rules of the Share Option Scheme.

(a) Purpose of the Share Option Scheme

The purpose of the Share Option Scheme is to enable our Company to grant options to the employee, adviser, consultant, service provider, agent, customer, partner or joint-venture partner of our Company or any subsidiary (including any director of our Company or any subsidiary) who is in full-time or part-time employment with or otherwise engaged by our Company or any subsidiary at the time when an option is granted to such employee, adviser, consultant, service provider, agent, customer, partner or joint-venture partner or any person who, in the sole discretion of the Board (“ the Eligible Participants ”), has contributed or may contribute to our Group as incentive or reward for their contribution to our Group to subscribe for the Shares thereby linking their interest with that of our Group. The basis of eligibility shall be determined by the Board from time to time.

(b) Grant and acceptance of options

On and subject to the terms of the Share Option Scheme and all applicable statutory requirements, our Board shall be entitled at any time within 10 years after the adoption date of the Share Option Scheme to make an offer to any Eligible Participants as our Board may in its absolute discretion select to subscribe for such number of Shares as our Board may determine at the subscription price. An offer shall be made to an Eligible Participant in writing in such form as our Directors may from time to time determine and shall remain open

– IV-15 –

STATUTORY AND GENERAL INFORMATION

APPENDIX IV

for acceptance by the Eligible Participant concerned for a period of 21 days from the date upon which it is made provided that no such offer shall be open for acceptance after the 10th anniversary of the adoption date of the Share Option Scheme or the termination of the same.

An offer shall be deemed to have been accepted by an Eligible Participant concerned in respect of all Shares which are offered to such Eligible Participant when the duplicate letter comprising acceptance of the offer duly signed by the Eligible Participant, together with a non-refundable remittance in favour of our Company of HK$1.00 by way of consideration for the grant thereof is received by our Company within 21 days from the date of the offer or within such time as may be determined by our Board pursuant to the GEM Listing Rules. To the extent that the offer to grant an option is not accepted and received by our Company within 21 days in the manner indicated in the offer letter of our Company, it will be deemed to have been irrevocably declined and the offer will lapse.

Any offer may be accepted by an Eligible Participant in respect of less than the total number of Shares which are offered provided that it is accepted in respect of a board lot for dealing in Shares on the Stock Exchange or an integral multiple thereof.

(c) Subscription price of Shares

The subscription price for Shares under the Share Option Scheme shall be determined at the absolute discretion of our Directors but in any event will not be less than the highest of (a) the closing price of the Shares on the Stock Exchange as shown in the daily quotations sheet of the Stock Exchange on the offer date of the particular option, which must be a business day; (b) the average of the closing prices of the Shares as shown in the daily quotations sheets of the Stock Exchange for the five consecutive business days immediately preceding the offer date of that particular option; and (c) the nominal value of a Share on the offer date of the particular option.

(d) Maximum number of Shares

  • (i) Subject to (ii) below, the maximum number of Shares in respect of which options may be granted at any time under the Share Option Scheme together with options which may be granted under any other share option schemes for the time being of our Group shall not exceed such number of Shares as equals 10% of the issued share capital of our Company at the Listing Date. On the basis of a total of 400,000,000 Shares in issue as at the Listing Date, the relevant limit will be 40,000,000 Shares which represent 10% of the issued Shares at the Listing Date. Our Company may seek approval of the Shareholders in general meeting to renew the scheme mandate limit such that the total number of Shares in respect of which options may be granted by our Directors under the Scheme and any other share option schemes of our Company shall not exceed 10% of the issued share capital of our Company. Options previously granted under the scheme (including those outstanding, cancelled, lapsed in accordance with the scheme or exercised options) shall not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Renewal Limit.

Our Company may authorise our Directors to grant options to specified Eligible Participants beyond the limit of 10% if the grant of such options is specifically

APPENDIX IV

approved by the Shareholders in general meeting. In such case, our Company must send a circular to our Shareholders in connection with the general meeting at which their approval will be sought containing a generic description of the specified Eligible Participants who may be granted such options, the number and terms of the option to be granted, the purpose of granting options to the specified Eligible Participants with an explanation as to how the terms of the options serve such purpose, the information and the disclaimer required under the GEM Listing Rules and such further information as may be required by the Stock Exchange from time to time.

  • (ii) The limit on the number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other options granted and yet to be exercised under any other share option schemes of our Group must not exceed 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time. No options may be granted under the Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of our Group if this will result in the limit being exceeded.

  • (iii) Unless approved by our Shareholders in the manner set out below, the total number of Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of the options granted and to be granted pursuant to the scheme and any other share option schemes of our Group (including both exercised and outstanding options) in any 12-month period must not exceed 1% of the Shares in issue. Where any further grant of options would result in the Shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of all options granted and to be granted to such person (including exercised, cancelled and outstanding options) in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such further grant representing in aggregate over 1% of the Shares in issue, such further grant must be separately approved by Shareholders in general meeting with such Eligible Participant and his close associates (or his associates if the Eligible Participant is a connected person) abstaining from voting. Our Company must send a circular to its Shareholders and the circular must disclose the identity of the Eligible Participant, the number and terms of the options to be granted (and options previously granted to such Eligible Participant). The number and terms (including the subscription price) of options to be granted to such Eligible Participant must be fixed before Shareholders’ approval and the date of meeting of our Board for proposing such further grant should be taken as the date of grant for the purpose of calculating the subscription price.

  • (iv) The exercise of any option shall be subject to our Shareholders in general meeting approving any necessary increase in the authorised share capital of our Company. Subject thereto, our Directors shall make available sufficient of the then authorised but unissued share capital of our Company to allot the Shares on the exercise of any option.

(e) Exercise of options

An option may be exercised at any time during the period to be determined and identified by the Board to each grantee at the time of making an offer for the grant of an option, but in any event no later than 10 years from the date of grant.

Subject to terms of the Share Option Scheme, an option shall be exercisable in whole or in part in the circumstances by giving notice in writing to our Company stating that the option is thereby exercised and the number of Shares in respect of which it is so exercised. Each such notice must be accompanied by a remittance for the full amount of the subscription price for Shares in respect of which the notice is given. Within 30 days after receipt of the notice and, where appropriate, receipt of the auditors’ or the independent financial adviser’s certificate, our Company shall accordingly allot the relevant number of Shares to the grantee (or his legal personal representative) credited as fully paid and instruct the relevant share registrar to issue to the grantee (or his personal representative(s)) a share certificate in respect of the Shares so allotted.

Though there is no specified minimum period under the Share Option Scheme for which an option must be held or the performance target which must be achieved before an option can be exercised under the terms and conditions of the Share Option Scheme, our Directors may make such grant of options, subject to such terms and conditions in relation to the minimum period of such options to be held and/or the performance targets to be achieved as our Directors may determine in their absolute discretion.

(f) Restrictions on the time of grant of options

Grant of options may not be made after inside information has come to the knowledge of our Company until such inside information has been announced in accordance with the relevant requirements of the GEM Listing Rules. In particular, no option may be granted during the period commencing one month immediately preceding the earlier of (i) the date of the Board meeting for the approval of our Company’s interim or annual results, and (ii) the deadline for our Company to publish its interim or annual results announcement, and ending on the date of such results announcement.

(h) Rights on ceasing employment

Unless our Board otherwise determines, the option period in respect of any option shall automatically terminate and that option (to the extent not already exercised) shall automatically lapse on the date on which the grantee ceases to be an Eligible Participant by reason of a termination of his employment on any one or more of the grounds that he has

been guilty of misconduct, or has been in breach of a material term of the relevant employment contract, or has become bankrupt or has become insolvent or has made any arrangement or composition with his creditors generally, or has been convicted of any criminal offence.

(i) Rights on death

In the event of the grantee ceasing to be an Eligible Participant by reason of his death before exercising the option in full and where the grantee is an employee of our Group none of the events which would be a ground for termination of his employment under paragraph (h) above arises, his personal representative(s) may exercise the option (to the extent not already exercised) in whole or in part within a period of 12 months following the date of death, or such longer period as our Directors may determine.

(j) Cancellation of options

Our Board may, with the consent of the relevant grantee in writing, at any time at its absolute discretion, cancel any option granted but not exercised. Where our Company cancels options and offers new options to the same option holder, the offer of such new options may only be made under the Share Option Scheme with available options (to the extent not yet granted and excluding the cancelled options) within the limit approved by our Shareholders as mentioned in paragraph (d) above.

(k) Effect of alterations to share capital

In the event of any alteration in the capital structure of our Company whilst any option remains exercisable or the Share Option Scheme remains in effect, and such event arises from a capitalisation of profits or reserves, rights issue or other offer of securities to holders of Shares (including any securities convertible into share capital or warrants or options to subscribe for any share capital of our Company, but excluding options under the Share Option Scheme and options under any other similar employee share option scheme of our Company), consolidation, sub-division or reduction of the share capital of our Company or otherwise howsoever, then, in any such case (other than in the case of capitalisation of profits or reserves) our Company shall instruct the auditors or an independent financial adviser to certify in writing:

  • (A) the adjustment, if any, that ought in their opinion fairly and reasonably to be made either generally or as regards any particular grantee, to:

  • i. the number or nominal amount of Shares to which the Share Option Scheme or any option(s) relates (insofar as it is/they are unexercised);

  • ii. the subscription price;

  • iii. the maximum number of Shares referred to in paragraph d(i); and/ or

– IV-19 –

STATUTORY AND GENERAL INFORMATION

APPENDIX IV

and an adjustment as so certified by the independent financial adviser appointed by our Company or the auditors shall be made, provided that:

  • i. any such adjustment must give a grantee the same proportion of the equity capital as that to which that person was previously entitled;

  • ii. any such adjustment shall be made on the basis that the aggregate subscription price payable by a grantee on the full exercise of any option shall remain as nearly as possible the same (but shall not be greater than) as it was before such event;

  • iii. no such adjustment shall be made if the effect of which would be to enable a Share to be issued at less than its nominal value;

  • iv. the issue of securities of our Company as consideration in a transaction shall not be regarded as a circumstance requiring any such adjustment; and

  • v. to the advantage in any respect of the grantee without specific prior approval of our Shareholders.

  • (B) in respect of any such adjustment, other than any made on a capitalisation issue, the independent financial adviser or the auditors must confirm to our Directors in writing that the adjustment so made satisfies the requirements of the relevant provisions of the GEM Listing Rules and any guidance/interpretation of the GEM Listing Rules issued by the Stock Exchange from time to time.

(l) Rights on a general offer

If a general or partial offer is made to all the holders of Shares, or all such holders other than the offeror and/or any person controlled by the offeror and/or any person acting in association or concert with the offeror, our Company shall use all its reasonable endeavours to procure that such offer is extended to all the grantees on the same terms, mutatis mutandis, and assuming that they will become, by the exercise in full of the options granted to them, Shareholders. If such offer becomes or is declared unconditional prior to the expiry of the option period, the grantee shall, notwithstanding any other term on which his options were granted, be entitled to exercise the option (to the extent to which it has become exercisable and not already exercised) to its full extent at any time thereafter and up to the close of such offer).

(m) Rights on winding up

If a notice is given by our Company to its members to convene a general meeting for the purposes of considering, and if thought fit, approving a resolution to voluntarily wind-up our Company, our Company shall on the same day as or soon after it despatches such notice to each member of our Company give notice thereof to all the grantees and thereupon, each grantee (or his respective personal representative(s)) may, subject to the provisions of all applicable laws, by notice in writing to our Company, accompanied by the remittance of the

subscription price in respect of the relevant option (such notice to be received by our Company not later than two business days prior to the proposed general meeting of our Company) exercise the option (to the extent which has become exercisable and not already exercised) whether in full or in part and our Company shall as soon as possible and, in any event, no later than the business day immediately prior to the date of the proposed general meeting referred to above, allot and issue such number of Shares to the grantee which may fall to be issued on such exercise credited as fully paid and register the grantee as holder of such Shares.

(n) Rights on a compromise or arrangement

Other than a general or partial offer or a scheme of arrangement contemplated in paragraph (o) below, if a compromise or arrangement between our Company and its members or creditors is proposed for the purposes of or in connection with a scheme for the reconstruction of our Company or its amalgamation with any other company or companies, our Company shall give notice thereof to all the grantees on the same day as it despatches the notice which is sent to each member or creditor of our Company summoning the meeting to consider such a compromise or arrangement, and thereupon each grantee (or his personal representative(s)) may by notice in writing to our Company accompanied by the remittance of the subscription price in respect of the relevant Option (such notice to be received by our Company not later than two business days before the proposed meeting) exercise any of his Options (to the extent which has become exercisable and not already exercised) whether in full or in part, but the exercise of an Option as aforesaid shall be conditional upon such compromise or arrangement being sanctioned by the court of competent jurisdiction and becoming effective. Our Company shall as soon as possible and in any event no later than the business day immediately prior to the date of the proposed meeting referred to above, allot and issue such number of Shares to the grantee which may fall to be issued on such exercise credited as fully paid and register the grantee as holder of such Shares. Upon such compromise or arrangement becoming effective, all Options shall lapse except insofar as previously exercised under the scheme. Our Company may require the Grantee (or his personal representative(s)) to transfer or otherwise deal with the Shares issued as a result of the exercise of Options in these circumstances so as to place the Grantee in the same position as nearly as would have been the case had such Shares been subject to such compromise or arrangement.

(o) Rights on a scheme of arrangement

If a general or partial offer by way of scheme of arrangement is made to all the holders of Shares and has been approved by the necessary number of holders of Shares at the requisite meetings, the grantee (or his personal representative(s)) may thereafter (but only until such time as shall be notified by our Company, after which it shall lapse) exercise the option (to the extent which has become exercisable and not already exercised) to its full extent or to the extent specified in such notice.

STATUTORY AND GENERAL INFORMATION

APPENDIX IV

but in all other respects the provisions of the Share Option Scheme shall remain in force to the extent necessary to give effect to the exercise of any options granted prior thereto or otherwise as may be required in accordance with the provisions of the Share Option Scheme and options granted prior to such termination shall continue to be valid and exercisable in accordance with the Share Option Scheme and the GEM Listing Rules.

(w) Disputes

Any dispute arising in connection with the Share Option Scheme (whether as to the number of Shares of an option, any of the matters referred to in paragraph (k) or above or otherwise) shall be referred to the decision of the auditors or the independent financial adviser who shall act as experts and not as arbitrators and whose decision shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on all persons who may be affected thereby.

(x) Present status of the Share Option Scheme

Application has been made to the Listing Division for the approval of the Share Option Scheme, the subsequent grant of options under the Share Option Scheme and the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of any options which may be granted under the Share Option Scheme, being 40,000,000 Shares in total, which shall represent 10% of the Shares in issue upon completion of the Share Offer.

As at the date of this prospectus, no options have been granted or agreed to be granted under the Share Option Scheme.

(y) Value of options

Our Directors consider it inappropriate to disclose the value of options which may be granted under the Share Option Scheme as if they had been granted as at the Latest Practicable Date. Any such valuation will have to be made on the basis of certain option pricing model or other methodology, which depends on various assumptions including, the exercise price, the exercise period, interest rate, expected volatility and other variables. As no options have been granted, certain variables are not available for calculating the value of the options. Our Directors believe that any calculation of the value of the options as at the Latest Practicable Date based on a number of speculative assumptions would not be meaningful and would be misleading to investors.

(z) Disclosure in annual and interim reports

Our Directors shall procure that details of the Share Option Scheme and other schemes of our Company and its subsidiaries are disclosed in the annual reports and interim reports of our Company in compliance with the GEM Listing Rules in force from time to time.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no option had been granted or agreed to be granted under the Share Option Scheme.
