Date, Mr. Gao holds 32.4% of the equity interests in Beijing Feiying. Beijing Feiying is engaged in the recycling of used mobile phones, Beijing Feiying will pay a fee to consumers who bring their used mobile phones for recycling, Beijing Feiying will then assess the quality of the used mobile phone. If the phone is deemed to be in good condition, Beijing Feiying would sell such phones to online platforms such as JD.com or Taobao for a profit. If the phones are deemed to be in poor condition, they can be sent to factories for recycling or taken apart for electronic parts where they can be used for making of other electronic accessories. In addition, Beijing Feiying has also entered into a cooperation agreement with the mobile and internet conglomerate, Tencent, on 9 May 2019 (a renewal of the previous cooperation agreement signed on 30 May 2018), for Tencent’s new mobile application, which helps users introduced by Beijing Feiying transfer data from old phones to newer ones. Beijing Feiying will recommend Tencent’s mobile application to end-users who have sold their old phones and bought new phones through Beijing Feiying. Beijing Feiying’s staff will also assist end-users introduced by Beijing Feiying how to use the mobile application, help end-users introduced by Beijing Feiying to install the mobile application and help end-users introduced by Beijing Feiying transfer data from old phones to new phones. The mobile application was developed and owned by Tencent. When users download and install the mobile application through Beijing Feiying, they would need to pay a subscription fee and Tencent would be able to detect the downloading and installation of the mobile application of users through Beijing Feiying and Tencent would then share 70% of the revenue from subscription fees from users to Beijing Feiying for users solicited by Beijing Feiying.
The major cost to be borne by Beijing Feiying in the cooperation are cost for hiring and training staff of Beijing Feiying to learn about Tencent’s mobile application and marketing costs. The cost currently borne by Beijing Feiying is approximately RMB800,000 per month. The cooperation period under the current cooperation agreement would be from 16 April 2019 to 15 April 2020 and the agreement and cooperation period is expected to be renewed on a yearly basis. The cooperation agreement will be terminated if either party becomes bankrupt or wound-up or when regulations changes and affect the legality of the cooperation model or when both parties agree to terminate the agreement. Under the cooperation agreement, Beijing Feiying receives 70% of revenue generated from the mobile application by users. As stipulated in the cooperation agreement, Beijing Feiying is to assist in the promotion of the mobile application to consumers. Through discussion between the Beijing Feiying management and Tencent, there is great demand for services currently provided by the mobile application. The Beijing Feiying management believes that such business provides it with an additional channel in which it can generate revenue and such cooperation with Tencent is of great benefit to Beijing Feiying. The gross profit margin for the year recorded by Beijing Feiying for the years ended 31 December 2016 and 2018 was relatively higher compared to the year ended 31 December 2017 due to most of the revenue generated in the years 2016 and 2018 were services provided by Beijing Feiying, which has a higher gross profit margin. In 2016, Beijing Feiying started its recycling of mobile phones business in an online platform and this platform mostly provided online services for the recycling of mobile phones, in 2017, Beijing Feiying began its brick and mortar business of recycling of mobile phones physically. Beijing Feiying then started the mobile app business in May 2018 and the performance of the

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
As set out in the financial information for the three financial years ended 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 above, it is noted that Beijing Feiying was not generating revenue since the financial year ended 31 December 2021. The major reason was the combined effect of (i) Tencent ceased the cooperation with Beijing Feiying since second quarter of 2020; and (ii) the outbreak of the COVID-19 resulting in adverse impact on wholesale and retail of mobile phone markets.
REASONS AND BENEFITS FOR THE ACQUISITION
The principal activities of the Group are distribution and trading of mobile phones and related accessories, development of marketing and after-sales service network and mining and processing of celestite, zinc and lead minerals. Beijing Feiying is principally engaged in the recycling of used mobile phones. In addition, Beijing Feiying has also entered into a cooperation agreement with the mobile and internet conglomerate, Tencent, for Tencent’s new mobile application, which helps users transfer data from old phones to newer ones. Under the cooperation agreement, Beijing Feiying receives 70% of revenue generated from the mobile application by users. As stipulated in the cooperation agreement, Beijing Feiying is to assist in the promotion of the mobile application to consumers. Through discussion between the Beijing Feiying management and Tencent, there is great demand for services currently provided by the mobile application. The Beijing Feiying management believes that such business provides an additional channel in which it can generate revenue and such cooperation with Tencent is of great benefit to Beijing Feiying. The Directors have been devising plans to venture into the recycling of used mobile phones, which the Directors believe will experience significant growth in terms of revenue and overall market size in the near future. Since Beijing Feiying is engaged in the recycling of used mobile phones and is a profit making and growing business, the Directors believe that through the 2018 First Capital Subscription and 2018 Second Capital Subscription, the Acquisition and Corporate Action, the Group can tap into the used mobile phones and mobile apps market and could also share a greater profit of Beijing Feiying and this would be reflected in the accounts of the Group. Even though Beijing Feiying has recorded losses and generated net liabilities for the two years ended 31 December 2017, Beijing Feiying has turned profitable in 2018 since it started cooperation with Tencent, and the Directors believe that Beijing Feiying will have good profit generating ability through its cooperation with Tencent in the future.
The Directors consider that the Acquisition and the Corporate Action are on normal commercial terms after arm’s length negotiations between the parties, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Directors consider that the Corporate Action will be beneficial to the Company and is on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as the Company can exert more control on Beijing Feiying, which has turned profitable in 2018 and is a growing business through its cooperation with Tencent and also the Company can consolidate Beijing Feiying’s profitable results into the Group’s accounts.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION
Assets and liabilities
As set out in Appendix V to this circular is the unaudited pro forma statement of financial information of the Group which illustrates the financial effects of the Acquisition assuming Acquisition Completion has taken place. Pro forma adjustments were made for both assets and liabilities assuming Acquisition Completion has taken place.
Earnings
According to the accountants’ report of Beijing Feiying as set out in Appendix II to this circular, Beijing Feiying did not record any profit or loss for the period for the nine months ended 30 September 2023. The Acquisition would have no impact on the Group’s earnings due to the reasons mentioned below in the section ‘‘DEVELOPMENT OF BEIJING FEIYING’’.
DEVELOPMENT OF BEIJING FEIYING
In 2019, Beijing Feiying accounted for as a subsidiary of the Company and can consolidate Beijing Feiying’s results into the Group’s accounts due to the corporate action and acting-in-concert as set out in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2019. The Group tap into the used mobile phones and mobile app market in the PRC.
Relevant information was extracted from the annual report as follows:
‘‘Shanghai Yuanjia, and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Other Beijing Feiying Shareholders started contemplating on implementing change in control of the board of Beijing Feiying in March 2019. Pursuant to the change in control of the board of Beijing Feiying which became effective on 27 December 2019, the board of directors of Beijing Feiying shall comprise five members, of which two had been appointed by Shanghai Yuanjia, Mr. Gao Fei has undertaken to vote in concert with Shanghai Yuanjia by virtue of a signed Acting-in Concert Agreement entered into between Shanghai Yuanjia and Mr. Gao Fei, and two which had been appointed by the Other Beijing Feiying Shareholders. As a result of the change in control of the board of Beijing Feiying, Shanghai Yuanjia shall be able to control the respective board of directors of Beijing Feiying. As such, Beijing Feiying shall be accounted for as a subsidiary of the Company.’’
For further details, please refer to the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2019.
In 2020, the Group has stripped off the used mobile phones and mobile app market in the PRC since (i) Tencent ceased the cooperation with Beijing Feiying since second quarter of 2020; and (ii) the outbreak of the COVID-19 resulting in adverse impact on wholesale and retail of mobile phone markets. On 1 September 2020, Shanghai Yuanjia and Mr. Gao has resolved to terminate the Acting-in-Concert Agreement entered into between. Upon the
– 12 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
termination of the Acting-in-Concert Agreement with Mr. Gao, the Group no longer has the control of the Board of Beijing Feiying and the Group deemed disposal of Beijing Feiying from a subsidiary to an associate during the year ended 31 December 2020. The Group commenced to share the results of Beijing Feiying under equity method since 1 September 2020 accordingly. In view of the Group’s share of losses of Beijing Feiying exceeded its interest in Beijing Feiying and thus, the Group discontinued to share of the losses of Beijing Feiying. Beijing Feiying no longer be accounted for as a subsidiary of the Company and account for it as an associate of the Company.
In addition, as at 31 December 2020, the Group had an amount due from Beijing Feiying of HK$224,000 (equivalent to RMB200,000) which was unsecured, interest free and repayable on demand. During the year ended 31 December 2020, the amount due from Beijing Feiying was fully impaired based on the accounting policy stated in note 4 to the consolidated financial statements of the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2021. There were no movements of the amount due from Beijing Feiying and the related impairment loss recognised during the year ended 31 December 2021.
As at 31 December 2022 and 2021, there were no movements of the amount due from Beijing Feiying and the related impairment loss recognised during the year ended 31 December 2022.
On 14 April 2023, Beijing Feiying received an administrative penalty decision from Beijing Municipal Bureau of Market Supervision and Administration in relation to the suspension of business license due to the on-site inspections conducted by the relevant government department considering that Beijing Feiying had no operations for a consecutive period of six months. After preliminary negotiations with the relevant government departments, Beijing Feiying and the Company was given notice that the suspension was not able to be revoked at current stage, Beijing Feiying and the Company are conducting further negotiations with the relevant government departments.
During the year, management of Beijing Feiying submitted the application to the relevant PRC government authorities to deregister Beijing Feiying given the relevant projects were ceased, thus, relevant operations were also ceased. Up to the Latest Practicable Date, the deregistration procedures have not yet been completed.
DISCIPLINARY ACTION
Reference is made to the statement of disciplinary action dated 31 October 2023, following the 2018 First Capital Subscription, the 2018 Second Capital Subscription and the Acquisition, Shanghai Yuanjia came to hold 33.5% of the registered capital of Beijing Feiying. The subscriptions and acquisition as mentioned above, on an aggregated basis, constituted a connected transaction and a very substantial acquisition, and the Company was required to comply with announcement, circular and shareholders’ approval requirements
– 13 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
under the Listing Rules. The Company did not comply with the relevant requirements. The subscriptions and acquisition were announced by the Company on 27 December 2019. In the announcement, the Company admitted breaching the relevant Listing Rule requirements.
The Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange found that the Company breached Rules 14.34, 14.38A, 14.48, 14.49 and 14A.35 in respect of the subscriptions and acquisition. The Company and the Relevant Directors agreed to settle this disciplinary action. They admitted their respective breaches as set out above, and accepted the sanctions and directions imposed on them by the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange. The Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange has directed, among other things: (1) Mr. Lau, Mr. Wang Yu, Dr. Law Chun Kwan and Dr. Lo Wai Shun to attend 24 hours of training on regulatory and legal topics including compliance with the Listing Rules; and (2) Mr. Bao Kang Rong and Mr. Lam Man Kit to attend 24 hours and Mr. Chang Wing Seng Victor to attend 18 hours of training on regulatory and legal topics including compliance with the Listing Rules as a pre-requisite of any future appointment as director (collectively, the ‘‘Training Directions’’).
Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 in early 2020, the operation of Beijing Feiying was heavily affected and the relevant employees had resigned during the period mentioned above, thus, the operation had been affected and leading to difficulties in obtaining relevant financial or other documents in preparing this circular.
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 29 January 2024, the Company confirmed that the Training Directions have been fully complied with by each of the Relevant Directors, and that written certification of full compliance with the Training Directions has been provided to the Stock Exchange.
Given (i) the Company and the Relevant Directors had to re-comply the Listing Rules for the Acquisition as mentioned above; and (ii) the Acquisition was fair and reasonable at the relevant time considering profit was generated for Beijing Feiying in the first year after the Acquisition, the Directors considered that it is meaningful for Shareholders to vote on the resolution regarding the Acquisition and the Acquisition was fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders at the relevant time. In the event that the resolution is voted down, since the Company is re-complying the Listing Rules for the Acquisition, there will not be material adverse impact to the operation of the Company.
IMPLICATION UNDER THE LISTING RULES
The 2018 First Capital Subscription would not constitute a notifiable transaction both on a stand-alone or aggregated basis since all of applicable percentage rates calculated pursuant to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules are below 5%.
The 2018 Second Capital Subscription would constitute a discloseable transaction both on a stand-alone or aggregated basis since one or more of the applicable percentage ratios calculated pursuant to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules are more than 5% but less than 25%.
– 14 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The 2018 First Capital Subscription on an aggregate basis would constitute non-exempt connected transaction for the Company and was subject to the reporting and announcement requirements pursuant to Rule 14A.35, but was exempted from independent shareholders’ approval requirement pursuant to Rule 14A.76 under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
The Acquisition would constitute a major transaction on a stand-alone basis since one or more of the applicable percentage ratios calculated pursuant to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules are more than 25% but less than 100%. When aggregated with previous transactions, the Acquisition would constitute very substantial acquisition of the Company as one or more of the applicable percentage ratios calculated pursuant to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Acquisition is more than 100%, therefore, it is subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements set out in Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. At the time of the Acquisition, Beijing Feiying has become a connected person of the Company at subsidiary level due to the Company’s shareholding in another subsidiary, Zhejiang Aoying. Through the Group’s purchase of shares of Zhejiang Aoying from Mr. Gao and Mr. Hu on 7 November 2017, the Group obtained a shareholding of 70% in Zhejiang Aoying with the remaining 12%, 10% and 8% held by Mr. Gao, Mr. Hu and Mr. Hou. The total consideration for the Zhejiang Aoying Acquisition was approximately RMB7,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$8,050,000), which was the Mr. Gao’s agreed subscription amount of RMB6,500,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$7,475,000) and Mr. Hu’s agreed subscription amount of RMB500,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$575,000) of Zhejiang Aoying’s registered capital and the payment obligations for paid-up capital of Zhejiang Aoying have been transferred to Shanghai Yuanjia upon the completion of the acquisition of Zhejiang Aoying. Zhejiang Aoying is principally engaged in trading of mobile phones. By virtue of Rule 14A.101 of the Listing Rules, since (1) Beijing Feiying was a connected person at the subsidiary level, (2) the Board has approved the Acquisition; and (3) the independent non-executive Directors have confirmed that the terms of the Acquisition were fair and reasonable and the Acquisition was on normal commercial terms or better and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole, the Acquisition is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, and is exempt from the circular, independent financial advice and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

In view of these circumstances, the Directors have reviewed the Group’s cash flow projections prepared by the management of the Company. The cash flow projections cover a period of at least the next twelve months from the Latest Practicable Date. In the opinion of the Directors, the Group can meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due within the next twelve months from the date of this circular, after taking into consideration of the measures and plans made by the Group as detailed below:

In light of the above measures and plans implemented to date, the Directors are of the view that the Group has sufficient cash resources to satisfy its working capital and other financial obligations for a period of at least the next twelve months from the Latest Practicable Date after having taken into account of the Group’s projected cash flows, current financial resources and capital expenditure requirements with respect to the development of its business.
Notwithstanding the above, significant uncertainties exist as to whether the management of the Company will be able to achieve its measures and plans as described above. Whether the Group will be able to continue as a going concern would depend upon the Group’s ability to generate adequate financing and operating cash flows in the near future and obtain the continuous financial support from its controlling shareholder.
Should the Group be unable to successfully implement the plans and measures as mentioned above, the Group may not have sufficient working capital for its requirements within the next 12 months from the Latest Practicable Date.

Basis for disclaimer of opinion on the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information/ disclaimer of conclusion on the Beijing Feiying Stub-Period Comparative Financial Information
(1) Scope limitation due to incomplete books and records
As described in Note 2 to the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information, given the incomplete books and records and serious doubts over the Beijing Feiying Group’s accounting and other records, the current directors of Beijing Feiying believe that it is almost impossible, and not practical, to ascertain the correct financial position and performance of the Beijing Feiying Group during the Beijing Feiying Track Record Period for inclusion in the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information. Thus, we were therefore unable to carry out satisfactory audit procedures to obtain reasonable assurance regarding the completeness, accuracy, existence, valuation, classification and disclosures of the historical transactions and balances of assets and liabilities, trading and financial position, contingent liabilities, commitments and reserves of the Beijing Feiying Group and Beijing Feiying during the Beijing Feiying Track Record Period.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF BEIJING FEIYING
APPENDIX II
Given these circumstances, which are more fully described in Note 2 to the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information, there were no practicable audit procedures that we could perform to satisfy ourselves that the information and documents presented to us for the purpose of our audit are complete and accurate in all material respects, nor to quantify the extent of adjustments that might be necessary in respect of the Beijing Feiying Group’s and Beijing Feiying’s financial information
As a result, in performing our audit on the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information during the Beijing Feiying Track Record Period, there were no practicable audit procedures that we could perform to satisfy ourselves whether the historical transactions and balances of assets and liabilities, trading and financial position, contingent liabilities, commitments and reserves of the Beijing Feiying Group and Beijing Feiying as of and for the three years ended 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 and for the nine months ended 30 September 2023 were fairly stated.
Any adjustments found to be necessary in respect thereof had we obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence would have had a consequential effect on the net liabilities of the Beijing Feiying Group and Beijing Feiying as of and for the three years ended 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 and for the nine months ended 30 September 2023, and the related disclosures thereof in the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information.
(2) Non-compliance with HKFRSs and omission of disclosures
As explained in Note 2 to the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information, the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information of the Beijing Feiying Group and Beijing Feiying has been prepared based on the information provided by the current directors of Beijing Feiying and they have prepared the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information based on incomplete books and records, the current directors of Beijing Feiying believe it is almost impossible, and not practicable, to ascertain the correct amounts of transactions and balances of assets and liabilities, trading and financial position, contingent liabilities, commitments and reserves of the Beijing Feiying Group and Beijing Feiying as of and for the three years ended 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 and for the nine months ended 30 September 2023 Consequently, the current directors of Beijing Feiying were unable to confirm that the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information comply with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (the ‘‘HKFRSs’’) issued by HKICPA, or that the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Listing Rules’’) have been complied with.
Given these circumstances, which are more fully described in Note 2 to the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information, there were no practicable audit procedures that we could perform to quantify the extent of adjustments that might be necessary in respect of the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF BEIJING FEIYING
APPENDIX II
- (3) Scope limitation relating to going concern basis of preparation of the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information
As at 30 September 2023, Beijing Feiying Group had a net current liabilities and a net deficiency of shareholders’ equity of RMB1,068,000 and RMB1,066,000, respectively.
These conditions, together with other matters described in Note 2 to the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Beijing Feiying Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and hence, its ability to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Despite the above, the directors of Beijing Feiying have reviewed the Beijing Feiying Group’s cash flow forecast prepared by management, which covers a period of at least twelve months from the date of this report. The directors of Beijing Feiying have, at the time of this report, implemented certain measures and plans which are described in Note 2 to the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information and thus, the directors of Beijing Feiying have a reasonable expectation that the Beijing Feiying Group has adequate resources to finance its operations and to meet its financial obligations as and when need and also is able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors of Beijing Feiying continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information.
The Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information does not incorporate any adjustments that would result from a failure to attain favourable results in respect of the above matters. If the outcome in respect of any of the above matters turns to be unfavourable, the going concern basis might not be appropriate and, in such event, adjustments would have to be made to the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information to reduce the value of assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise and to reclassify non-current assets as current assets.
Any adjustments to the figures as described above might have significant consequential effects on the financial position of Beijing Feiying as at 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 and 30 September 2023 and the consolidated financial position of the Beijing Feiying Group as at 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 and 30 September 2023 and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the Beijing Feiying Track Record Period in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in Note 2 to the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF BEIJING FEIYING
APPENDIX II
NOTES TO THE BEIJING FEIYING HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Beijing Feiying was incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (the ‘‘PRC’’) with limited liability on 22 October 2013. The address of its registered office and principal place of business is Room 1016–2, Unit 1, 11th Floor, Building 7, West District, No. 9 Linglong Road, Haidian District, Beijing, the PRC.
Beijing Feiying is an investment holding company. Beijing Feiying Group is principally engaged in trading in second-hand mobile phones and provision of marketing services.
During the year, management of Beijing Feiying submitted the application to the relevant PRC government authorities to deregister Beijing Feiying and up to the date of this report, the deregistration procedures have not yet been completed (the ‘‘Deregistration’’).
The English names of all the companies established in the PRC presented in this Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information represent the best efforts made by the directors of Beijing Feiying for the translation of the Chinese names of these companies to English names as they do not have official English names.
The Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information is presented in Renminbi (‘‘RMB’’), which is also the functional currency of the Beijing Feiying Group.
2. BASIS OF PREPRATION AND PRESENTATION OF BEIJING FEIYING HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFOMRATION
The Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information has been prepared for inclusion in the Circular of the Company in connection with the connected transactions and very substantial acquisition in relating to the acquisition of the Beijing Feiying Group.
The Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information has been prepared based on the accounting policies set out in Note 4 to the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information which conforms with HKFRSs and are materially consistent with those of the Company. For the purpose of preparation of the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information, information is considered material if such information is reasonably expected to influence decisions made by primary users.
The Beijing Feiying Stub-Period Corresponding Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the same basis of preparation and presentation adopted in respect of the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information.
The Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information has been prepared based on the books and records maintained by the Beijing Feiying Group. In view of the resignation of the relevant senior management and accounting staff and the Deregistration of Beijing Feiying, the books and records of the Beijing Feiying Group available at the material time which were retained by the Beijing Feiying Group were not found to be of a sufficient level for audit purposes. Despite the current directors of Beijing Feiying have taken all reasonable steps and have used their best endeavors to resolve the matter, they are unable to determine whether the books and records retained by the Beijing Feiying Group might not be updated, complete and sufficient to establish an accurate and reliable view of the historical transactions and balances, trading and financial position and may contain errors.
Due to the limited information available as mentioned above, the current directors of Beijing Feiying were unable to obtain sufficient documentary information regarding the completeness of books and records and the treatment of various historical transactions and balances of assets and liabilities, trading and financial position, contingent liabilities, commitments and reserves as included in the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information during the Beijing Feiying Track Record Period.
– 33 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF BEIJING FEIYING
APPENDIX II
Since the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information has been prepared based on the incomplete books and records available to Beijing Feiying, the directors of Beijing Feiying is unable to represent that all historical transactions and balances of assets and liabilities, trading and financial position, contingent liabilities, commitments and reserves entered into by the Beijing Feiying Group for the Beijing Feiying Track Record Period have been properly reflected in the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information. As such, the current directors of Beijing Feiying are also unable to represent as to the completeness, accuracy, existence, valuation, classification and disclosures of the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information in accordance with the HKFRSs and the applicable disclosures required by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and by the Listing Rules.
As at 30 September 2023, Beijing Feiying Group had a net current liabilities and a net deficiency of shareholders’ equity of RMB1,068,000 and RMB1,066,000, respectively.
The current financial condition, the Deregistration and other conditions regarding the Beijing Feiying Group described above indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Beijing Feiying Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and hence, its ability to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
Despite the above, the directors of Beijing Feiying have reviewed the Beijing Feiying Group’s cash flow forecast prepared by management, which covers a period of at least twelve months from the date of this report. The directors of Beijing Feiying have, at the time of this report, implemented certain measures and plans, such as to take active measures to manage its operations and to control administrative costs and thus, the directors of Beijing Feiying have a reasonable expectation that the Beijing Feiying Group has adequate resources to finance its operations and to meet its financial obligations as and when need and also to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors of Beijing Feiying continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information.
Should Beijing Feiying be unable to continue in business as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made in the financial information to write down the values of the assets to their net realisable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise, and to reclassify non-current assets and non-current liabilities as current assets and current liabilities respectively. The effect of such adjustments has not yet been reflected in the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information.
3. APPLICATION OF NEW AND AMENDMENTS TO HKFRSS
For the purpose of preparing the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information for the Beijing Feiying Track Record Period, the Beijing Feiying Group has consistently adopted accounting policies which conform with the Hong Kong Accounting Standards (‘‘HKASs’’), the HKFRSs, amendments to HKFRSs and the related interpretations issued by the HKICPA that are effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2023 throughout the Beijing Feiying Track Record Period.
– 34 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF BEIJING FEIYING
APPENDIX II
New and amendments to HKFRSs in issue but not yet effective
The Beijing Feiying Group has not early applied the following new and amendments to HKFRSs and interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective:
Amendments to HKFRS 10 and Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its HKAS 28 Associate or Joint Venture[1] Amendments to HKFRS 16 Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback[2] Amendments to HKAS 1 Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and related amendments to Hong Kong Interpretation 5 (2020)[2] Amendments to HKAS 1 Non-current liabilities with Covenants[2] Amendments to HKAS 7, Statement Disclosures of Supplier finance arrangements[2] of cash flows and HKFRS 7 Amendments to HKAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates: Lack of Exchangeability[3] Hong Kong Interpretation 5 (2020) Classification by the Borrower of a Term Loan that Contains Presentation of Financial a Repayment on Demand Clause[1] Statements
-

-
2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024.
-
3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025.
The directors of Beijing Feiying anticipate that the application of these new and amendments to HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective will have no material impact on the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information in the foreseeable future.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the following accounting policies which conform with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA during the Beijing Feiying Track Record Period:
Basis of consolidation
The Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information incorporates the financial statements of Beijing Feiying and entities controlled by Beijing Feiying and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when Beijing Feiying:
-
has power over the investee;
-
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
-
has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
The Beijing Feiying Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Beijing Feiying Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Beijing Feiying Group loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Beijing Feiying Group gains control until the date when the Beijing Feiying Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
– 35 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF BEIJING FEIYING
APPENDIX II
Profit or loss and each item of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of Beijing Feiying and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of Beijing Feiying and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Beijing Feiying Group’s accounting policies.
All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Beijing Feiying Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented separately from the Beijing Feiying Group’s equity therein, which represent present ownership interests entitling their holders to a proportionate share of net assets of the relevant subsidiaries upon liquidation.
Changes in the Beijing Feiying Group’s interests in existing subsidiaries
Changes in the Beijing Feiying Group’s interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Beijing Feiying Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Beijing Feiying Group’s relevant components of equity and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries, including re-attribution of relevant reserves between the Beijing Feiying Group and the non- controlling interests according to the Beijing Feiying Group’s and the non-controlling interests’ proportionate interests.
Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted, and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of Beijing Feiying.
When the Beijing Feiying Group loses control of a subsidiary, the assets and liabilities of that subsidiary and non-controlling interests (if any) are derecognised. A gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary attributable to the owners of Beijing Feiying. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are accounted for as if the Beijing Feiying Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified/permitted by applicable HKFRSs).
The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate.
Revenue from contracts with customers
The Beijing Feiying Group recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when ‘‘control’’ of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer.
A performance obligation represents a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services) that is distinct or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same.
– 36 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF BEIJING FEIYING
APPENDIX II
Control is transferred over time and revenue is recognised over time by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of the relevant performance obligation if one of the following criteria is met:
-
the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Beijing Feiying Group’s performance as the Beijing Feiying Group performs;
-
the Beijing Feiying Group’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the Beijing Feiying Group performs; or
-
the Beijing Feiying Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Beijing Feiying Group and the Beijing Feiying Group has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
Otherwise, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains control of the distinct good or service.
A contract asset represents the Beijing Feiying Group’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Beijing Feiying Group has transferred to a customer that is not yet unconditional. It is assessed for impairment in accordance with HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments. In contrast, a receivable represents the Beijing Feiying Group’s unconditional right to consideration, i.e. only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due.
A contract liability represents the Beijing Feiying Group’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Beijing Feiying Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer.
A contract asset and a contract liability relating to the same contract are accounted for and presented on a net basis.
Principal versus agent
When another party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, the Beijing Feiying Group determines whether the nature of its promise is a performance obligation to provide the specified goods or services itself (i.e. the Beijing Feiying Group is a principal) or to arrange for those goods or services to be provided by the other party (i.e. the Beijing Feiying Group is an agent).
The Beijing Feiying Group is a principal if it controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to a customer.
The Beijing Feiying Group is an agent if its performance obligation is to arrange for the provision of the specified good or service by another party. In this case, the Beijing Feiying Group does not control the specified good or service provided by another party before that good or service is transferred to the customer. When the Beijing Feiying Group acts as an agent, it recognises revenue in the amount of any fee or commission to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for arranging for the specified goods or services to be provided by the other party.
Revenue for trading of mobile phones and related accessories
Revenue for trading of mobile phones and related accessories generally includes only one performance obligation. The Beijing Feiying Group has concluded that revenue from trading of mobile phones should be recognised at the point in time when control of the products is transferred to the customer, generally when the products are delivered to and the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to customer.
– 37 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF BEIJING FEIYING
APPENDIX II
Interest income
Interest income is accrued on a time basis on the principal outstanding at the applicable interest rate.
Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non- monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
For the purposes of presenting the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information, the assets and liabilities of the Beijing Feiying Group’s operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Beijing Feiying Group (i.e. RMB) using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the date of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading of translation reserve.
On the disposal of a foreign operation (that is, a disposal of the Beijing Feiying Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, or a partial disposal of an associate that includes a foreign operation of which the retained interest becomes a financial asset), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of Beijing Feiying are reclassified to profit or loss.
In addition, in relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Beijing Feiying Group losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are reattributed to non-controlling interests and are not recognised in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals (i.e. partial disposals of associates that do not result in the Beijing Feiying Group losing significant influence or joint control), the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Government grants
Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Beijing Feiying Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.
– 38 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF BEIJING FEIYING
APPENDIX II
Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Beijing Feiying Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Beijing Feiying Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognised as deferred income in the consolidated statement of financial position and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
Government grants related to income that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Beijing Feiying Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable. Such grants are recognised as other revenue, rather than reducing the related expenses.
Employee benefits
Retirement benefit costs
Payments to the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme and other PRC state-managed retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
Short-term and other long-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are recognised at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid as and when employees rendered the services. All short-term employee benefits are recognised as an expense unless another HKFRS requires or permits the inclusion of the benefit in the cost of an asset.
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees (such as wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave) after deducting any amount already paid.
Liabilities recognised in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows expected to be made by the Beijing Feiying Group in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Any changes in the liabilities’ carrying amounts resulting from service cost, interest and remeasurements are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that another HKFRS requires or permits their inclusion in the cost of an asset.
Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit/ (loss) before tax because of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Beijing Feiying Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF BEIJING FEIYING
APPENDIX II
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Beijing Feiying Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Beijing Feiying Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied to the same taxable entity by the same taxation authority.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are tangible assets that are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes. Plant and equipment are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Plant and equipment in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Costs include any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management, including costs of testing whether the related assets is functioning properly and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Beijing Feiying Group ‘s accounting policy. Sale proceeds of items that are produced while bringing an item of property, plant and equipment to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management (such as samples produced when testing whether the asset is functioning properly), and the related costs of producing those items are recognised in the profit or loss. The cost of those items are measured in accordance with the measurement requirements of HKAS 2. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
Construction in progress represents plant and equipment under construction or pending installation and is stated at cost less any impairment losses. No provision for depreciation is made on construction in progress until such time as the relevant assets are completed and ready for intended use. Construction in progress is classified to the appropriate category of plant and equipment when completed and ready for use.
– 40 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF BEIJING FEIYING
APPENDIX II
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. The items of plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis at the following useful loves after taking into account the residual value:
Furniture, fixtures and equipment 20% — 33%
An item of plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment on plant and equipment
At the end of the reporting period, the Beijing Feiying Group reviews the carrying amounts of its plant and equipment with finite useful lives to determine whether there is any indication that these assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the relevant asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that they may be impaired.
The recoverable amount of plant and equipment are estimated individually. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount individually, the Beijing Feiying Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
In testing a cash-generating unit for impairment, corporate assets are allocated to the relevant cashgenerating unit when a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be established, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be established. The recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit or group of cashgenerating units to which the corporate asset belongs, and is compared with the carrying amount of the relevant cash- generating unit or group of cash-generating units.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset (or a cash-generating unit) for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. For corporate assets or portion of corporate assets which cannot be allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to a cash- generating unit, the Beijing Feiying Group compares the carrying amount of a group of cash-generating units, including the carrying amounts of the corporate assets or portion of corporate assets allocated to that group of cash-generating units, with the recoverable amount of the group of cashgenerating units. In allocating the impairment loss, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill (if applicable) and then to the other assets on a pro-rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit or the group of cash- generating units. The carrying amount of an asset is not reduced below the highest of its fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable), its value in use (if determinable) and zero. The amount of the impairment loss that would otherwise have been allocated to the asset is allocated pro rata to the other assets of the unit or the group of cash-generating units. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
– 41 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF BEIJING FEIYING
APPENDIX II
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit or a group of cash-generating units) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or a cash-generating unit or a group of cash-generating units) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents presented on the consolidated statement of financial position include:
-
(a) cash, which comprises of cash on hand and demand deposits, excluding bank balances that are subject to regulatory restrictions that result in such balances no longer meeting the definition of cash; and
-
(b) cash equivalents, which comprises of short-term (generally with original maturity of three months or less), highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes.
For the purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Beijing Feiying Group’s cash management. Such overdrafts are presented as short-term borrowings in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs of inventories are determined on a first-in, first-out method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Costs necessary to make the sale include incremental costs directly attributable to the sale and non-incremental costs which the Beijing Feiying Group must incur to make the sale.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value except for trade receivables arising from contracts with customers which are initially measured in accordance with HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (‘‘FVTPL’’)) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating interest income and interest expense over the relevant period.
– 42 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF BEIJING FEIYING
APPENDIX II
The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts and payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Interest/dividend income which are derived from the Beijing Feiying Group’s ordinary course of business are presented as revenue.
Financial assets
Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost:
-
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
All other financial assets are subsequently measured at FVTPL, except that at initial recognition of a financial asset the Beijing Feiying Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in fair value of an equity investment in other comprehensive income if that equity investment is neither held for trading nor contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which HKFRS 3 Business Combinations applies.
A financial asset is held for trading if:
-
it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term; or
-
on initial recognition it is a part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Beijing Feiying Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
-
it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
In addition, the Beijing Feiying Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that are required to be measured at the amortised cost or as measured at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch.
Amortised cost and interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method for financial assets measured subsequently at amortised cost. Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for financial assets that have subsequently become creditimpaired (see below). For financial assets that have subsequently become credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset from the next reporting period. If the credit risk on the credit-impaired financial instrument improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit-impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset from the beginning of the reporting period following the determination that the asset is no longer credit-impaired.
Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for being measured at amortised cost are measured at FVTPL.
– 43 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF BEIJING FEIYING
APPENDIX II
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with any fair value gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss includes any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset and is included in the ‘‘other gains and losses’’ line item.
Impairment of financial assets subject to impairment assessment under HKFRS 9
The Beijing Feiying Group performs impairment assessment under expected credit loss (‘‘ECL’’) model on financial assets (including trade and other receivables, amounts due from non-controlling shareholders of subsidiaries and cash and cash equivalents which are subject to impairment assessment under HKFRS 9. The amount of ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.
Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of the relevant instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL (‘‘12m ECL’’) represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
Assessments are done based on the Beijing Feiying Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future conditions.
The Beijing Feiying Group always recognises lifetime ECL for trade receivables.
For all other instruments, the Beijing Feiying Group measures the loss allowance equal to 12m ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, in which case the Beijing Feiying Group recognises lifetime ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition.
(i) Significant increase in credit risk
In assessing whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Beijing Feiying Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition. In making this assessment, the Beijing Feiying Group considers both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost or effort.
In particular, the following information is taken into account when assessing whether credit risk has increased significantly:
-
an actual or expected significant deterioration in the financial instrument’s external (if available) or internal credit rating;
-
significant deterioration in external market indicators of credit risk, e.g. a significant increase in the credit spread, the credit default swap prices for the debtor;
-
existing or forecast adverse changes in business, financial or economic conditions that are expected to cause a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations;
-
an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor;
-
an actual or expected significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the debtor that results in a significant decrease in the debtor’s ability to meet its debt obligations.
– 44 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF BEIJING FEIYING
APPENDIX II
Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Beijing Feiying Group presumes that the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 90 days past due, unless the Beijing Feiying Group has reasonable and supportable information that demonstrates otherwise.
Despite the aforegoing, the Beijing Feiying Group assumes that the credit risk on a debt instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the debt instrument is determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date. A debt instrument is determined to have low credit risk if (i) it has a low risk of default, (ii) the borrower has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term and (iii) adverse changes in economic and business conditions in the longer term may, but will not necessarily, reduce the ability of the borrower to fulfil its contractual cash flow obligations.
The Beijing Feiying Group considers a debt instrument to have low credit risk when it has an internal or external credit rating of ‘‘investment grade’’ as per globally understood definitions.
The Beijing Feiying Group regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk and revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria are capable of identifying significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes past due.
(ii) Definition of default
For internal credit risk management, the Beijing Feiying Group considers an event of default occurs when information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Beijing Feiying Group, in full (without taking into account any collaterals held by the Beijing Feiying Group).
Irrespective of the above, the Beijing Feiying Group considers that default has occurred when a financial asset is more than 180 days past due unless the Beijing Feiying Group has reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate.
(iii) Credit-impaired financial assets
A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is creditimpaired includes observable data about the following events:
-
(a) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
-
(b) a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;
-
(c) the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider; or
-
(d) it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.
(iv) Write-off policy
The Beijing Feiying Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, for example, when the counterparty has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings, or in the case of trade receivables, when the amounts are over one year past due, whichever occurs sooner. Financial assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Beijing Feiying Group’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event. Any subsequent recoveries are recognised in profit or loss.
– 45 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF BEIJING FEIYING
APPENDIX II
- (v) Measurement and recognition of ECL
The measurement of ECL is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data and forward-looking information. Estimation of ECL reflects an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights.
Generally, the ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Beijing Feiying Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Beijing Feiying Group expects to receive, discounted at the effective interest rate determined at initial recognition.
For collective assessment, the Beijing Feiying Group takes into consideration the following characteristics when formulating the grouping:
-
Past-due status;
-
Nature, size and industry of debtors; and
-
External credit ratings where available.
The grouping is regularly reviewed by management to ensure the constituents of each group continue to share similar credit risk characteristics.
Interest income is calculated based on the gross carrying amount of the financial asset unless the financial asset is credit-impaired, in which case interest income is calculated based on amortised cost of the financial asset.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Beijing Feiying Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities and equity
Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by Beijing Feiying are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
– 46 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF BEIJING FEIYING
APPENDIX II
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Beijing Feiying Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Beijing Feiying Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
In the application of the Beijing Feiying Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 4, the directors of Beijing Feiying are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical judgements in applying accounting policies
The following is the critical judgement, apart from those involving estimations (see below), that the directors of Beijing Feiying have made in the process of applying the Beijing Feiying Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information.
Going concern consideration
As explained in Note 2 to the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information, the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information has been prepared on a going concern basis and have not included any adjustments that would be required should the Beijing Feiying Group fail to continue as a going concern since the directors of Beijing Feiying are satisfied that the liquidity of the Beijing Feiying Group can be maintained in the coming year after taking into the considerations as detailed in Note 2 to the Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information. The directors of Beijing Feiying also believe that the Beijing Feiying Group will have sufficient cash resources to satisfy its future working capital and other financing requirements for a period of at least the next twelve months from the date of this report.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets within the next financial year.
(i) Provision for expected credit loss of trade and other receivables
The Beijing Feiying Group’s management determines the provision for expected credit loss of trade and other receivables based on the expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. The loss allowances are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Beijing Feiying Group uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Beijing Feiying Group’s past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
(ii) Income taxes and deferred income tax
There are certain 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 and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.
– 48 –
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF BEIJING FEIYING
APPENDIX II
Deferred income tax assets relating to certain temporary differences and tax losses are recognised when management considers it is likely that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences or tax losses can be utilised. When the expectations are different from the original estimates, such differences will impact the recognition of deferred tax assets and income tax charges in the period in which such estimates are changed.

The board of directors of Beijing Feiying has been identified as the chief operating decision-maker. For the purposes of resources allocation and performance assessment, the chief operating decision-maker reviews the overall results and financial position of the Beijing Feiying Group as a whole prepared based on same accounting policies set out in Note 4. The Beijing Feiying Group’s operations are principally engaged in the business of trading in second-hand mobile phones and provision of marketing services in PRC during the Beijing Feiying Track Record Period. Accordingly, the directors of Beijing Feiying Group consider there to be only one single operating segment under the requirements of HKFRS 8 ‘‘Segment Information’’. In this regard, no further analysis of this single segment information is presented.
Geographical information
No geographical segment information is presented as the Beijing Feiying Group’s operation is mainly in the PRC and all its non-current assets are situated in the PRC.
All of the Beijing Feiying Group’s revenue from external customers is attributable to the group entities’ place of domicile (i.e., the PRC).

APPENDIX II
Financial risk factors
(a) Market risk
- (i) Foreign exchange risk
The Beijing Feiying Group mainly operates in the PRC with functional currency as RMB.
The Beijing Feiying Group and Beijing Feiying has no significant exposure to currency risk as substantially all of the Beijing Feiying Group’s transactions are denominated in RMB.
(ii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
The Beijing Feiying Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to floating-rate bank balances (Note 16 Beijing Feiying Historical Financial Information). The Beijing Feiying Group currently does not have an interest rate hedging policy. However, the management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arise.
The management considered that the Beijing Feiying Group’s exposure to the interest rate risk on financial assets is not significant due to short-term maturities. Accordingly, no sensitivity analysis is presented.
(b) Credit risk
The Beijing Feiying Group is exposed to credit risk in relation to its cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other receivables. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables represent the Beijing Feiying Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets.
Credit risk on trade debtors is managed by the management of the individual business units and monitored by the Beijing Feiying Group’s management on a group basis. Management assesses the credit quality of smaller customers by considering their financial position, past experience therewith and other relevant factors. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.
(i) Credit risk of cash and cash equivalents
To manage this risk arising from bank balances, the Beijing Feiying Group primarily transacts with reputable banks which are all high-credit-quality financial institutions. There has no recent history of default in relation to these financial institutions. The expected credit loss is close to zero.
(ii) Credit risk of trade and other receivables
The Beijing Feiying Group has trade and bills receivables for provision of services or sales of goods subject to the expected credit loss model on adoption of IFRS 9.
The Beijing Feiying Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables and contract assets.
Management assessed the impairment of trade receivables based on expected credit losses methodology. The impairment of individually significant trade receivables and contract assets were assessed on an individual basis based on management’s estimates of the discounted future cash flows. Individual insignificant trade receivables and contract assets balances were grouped based on their credit risk characteristics for overall evaluation. The collective impairment provision was determined by management based on historical loss experience, taking into considerations of forward-looking macroeconomic data, industry risk and other circumstances.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF BEIJING FEIYING
APPENDIX II
To measure the expected credit losses, trade and other receivables have been grouped based on their credit risk characteristics for overall evaluation.
The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 60 months before the end of reporting period and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. The Beijing Feiying Group has identified the CPI and GDP to be the most relevant factors, and accordingly adjusts the historical loss rates based on expected changes in these factors.
As at 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 and 30 September 2023, the Beijing Feiying Group had trade and other receivables amounting to approximately RMB26,225,000, RMB25,675,000, RMB25,675,000 and RMB25,675,000, respectively and provisions for impairment of approximately Nil, Nil, Nil and Nil were recognised on the trade and bills receivables, respectively.
On that basis, the loss allowance as at 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 and 30 September 2023 was determined as follows for trade and bills receivables:
| Balance as at 31 December 2020 Within 1 year 1 to 2 years Total Balance as at 31 December 2021 Within 1 year 1 to 2 years Total Balance as at 31 December 2022 Within 1 year 1 to 2 years Total Balance as at 30 September 2023 Within 1 year 1 to 2 years Total |

Business Review
In 2020, the international political and economic environment was complicated and changeable, the outbreak and spread of the COVID-19 epidemic brought unprecedented impact upon global economic and social activities, the pandemic also struck a heavy blow to the production and operation of various industries, as well as to the global economy. Benefiting from the effective pandemic prevention and control policies of the government of PRC, the pandemic had been well controlled in PRC, and the PRC’s economy had gradually come out of the trough with unchanged long-term economic favorable fundamentals.
Looking back to 2020, the global economy has been in deep recession. Apart from COVID-19 epidemic, the economy of PRC was also suffered from international trade plunged and financial market fluctuated. The mobile phone market in PRC was undoubtedly been hit hard, fortunately, the government of PRC responded appropriately with prompt timely prevention and control measures and quickly brought the pandemic under control. During 2020, the sales of consumer products market gradually picked up in the second half of the year. However, due to the suspension of production and operation and lockdown measures across the nation in respond to the pandemic during the plum rain season in the first half of the year and the lagged recovery of prices and sales, the revenue still showed a decrease as compared to 2019.
Customer’s focus is expected to shift gradually from the functionality of mobile phone to the shopping experience and, in this regard, the large mobile telecommunication chain stores have advantages under the high internal consumption. In order to diversify the business of the Group, we have been actively looking for opportunities which will further enhance the shareholders’ value. Since we have been in the mobile phone industry for decades, and the potential for mobile phone related business development is surely enormous and sustainable. The Group will continue to strengthen its major business area including big data, mobile phone operating system and mobile internet.

Business Review
Mobile Phone Business
The Group was involved in the business of trading, wholesale and retail of mobile phones and telecom equipment in PRC. As for the PRC market, its economy was slowdown since 2019. Yet, the continuous development of mobile phone market business model intensifying competition in the retail industry and the uncertainties arising from the emerging US-China trade war presented challenges the development of the Group’s operations and performance.
Customers focus is expected to gradually shift from the functionality of mobile phone to the shopping experience. Customers will normally require services such as function presentations, digital phone books synchronization and pre-installing software, etc., in purchasing a mobile phone. In the 5G era, the convergence of mobile telecommunications and the internet also led to rapid development of value-added business which requires the retail channels to advance from a pure sales platform to an integrated service platform. In this regard, the large mobile telecommunication chain stores have advantages. Furthermore, we intend to continue growth by diversify the trading markets, products and distribution channels.

The Group has once commenced mining site exploitation system in our Strontium mining site since 2010. After the expiration of a 5-year mining operating permit on 25 September 2012, Sifa Mining obtained a renewed mining operating permit for 2 years (the ‘‘2-year Permit 2012–2014’’) from the Ministry of Land and Resources of the PRC (中華人民共和國 國土資源部) (‘‘MLR’’), under which Sifa Mining was allowed to carry out exploration activities only, but not exploitation activities. The 2-year Permit 2012–2014 was expired on 25 September 2014.
On 27 April 2015, a mining operating permit was granted by MLR for a term of 2 years from 25 September 2014 to 25 September 2016 under which a restriction was added that no exploitation activities were allowed but only exploration activities. Such restriction imposed on the renewed mining permit was basically the same as the previous mining permit which was approved by MLR in 2012 whilst the application for mining exploitation permit is a continuing process.
