CHANGE OF AUDITOR AND CONTINUED SUSPENSION OF TRADING

RESIGNATION OF AUDITOR
The Board announces that Moore Stephens CPA Limited (“ Moore Stephens ”) has resigned as the auditor of the Company with effect from 9 November 2022. During the course of the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2022, and up to the date of this announcement, there are several key matters the Company could not reach a consensus with Moore Stephens, inter alias, a) the response rate on the return of the audit confirmations from debtors, creditors and banks; b) the management’s assumptions applied on the impairment assessment on the Group’s goodwill and intangible assets; and c) information about certain opening balances and comparatives. The Company could not satisfy Moore Stephens due to high turnover of the Company’s accounting staff. However, the Company is in the opinion that Moore Stephens could have obtained such information from the Company’s predecessor auditor.
As a result, Moore Stephens is unable to proceed further with the audit of the financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022. After due and careful consideration of the limited available internal resources and the key matters mentioned above, Moore Stephens anticipates that it may not be able to finish the audit on time in accordance with the expected timetable. The Company could not reach a consensus with Moore Stephens on the timeline for the completion of audit on the annual results of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2022.
