CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.

Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

Set out below is a summary of the financial information of the Target Group:

The audited net liabilities of the Target Group was approximately HK$29.82 million as at 31 March 2019.

Since the Target Group was incorporated in June 2017, the Target Group recorded rapid growth in the revenue; however, it recorded net loss and net liabilities due to (i) the substantial amount of start-up cost including labour cost, leasing expenses and capital expenses, (ii) the production capacity is not fully utilised, and (iii) the Vendor provided financial assistance to the Target Group amounted approximately HK$32.96 million up to 31 March 2019. As at 31 July 2019 and the Latest Practicable Date, the accumulated financial assistance provided by the Vendor to the Target Group is approximately HK$37.38 million. The director of the Target Company is expected that a further financial assistance of approximately HK$2.40 million may require before the Acquisition Completion, which is expected to occur in October 2019; and is of the view that this would not be a significant change as compared to the financial assistance as at the Latest Practicable Date.

In light of the above financial position of the Target Group and financial assistance provided by the Vendor, the Vendor would like to introduce the Company as strategic investor to enhance the financial performance by leveraging the Group’s resources and expertise. In this connection, subject to the completion of the Transactions taking place, the Vendor has agreed to waive the amount of financial assistance that she provided to the Target Group of approximately HK$32.96 million up to 31 March 2019 upon the Acquisition Completion. For any further financial assistance provided or to be provided by the Vendor to the Target Group from 1 April 2019 up to the Acquisition Completion Date, the amount will be unsecured, non-interest bearing and will be repayable to the Vendor when the directors of the Target Company consider and determine (in their sole discretion) that the Target Group has adequate funds to repay the same after reviewing the financial performance and financial needs of the Target Group. Taking into account of the

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

abovementioned waiver of financial assistance of approximately HK$32.96 million, the adjusted unaudited net assets of the Target Group as at 31 July 2019 is approximately HK$3.74 million.

REASONS AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Group is principally engaged in the manufacturing of metal casting parts and components in the PRC and sells its products to Germany, PRC, Hong Kong and the United States (the ‘‘Manufacturing Business’’). For diversification purpose, the Group has also engaged in the concerts and events organization business.

Strategies to tackle the market challenges

As disclosed in the Company’s interim report for the six months ended 30 June 2019, the Group will endeavor to improve its revenue performance by executing flexible strategies to face the market challenges. Considering that the global economic environment remains challenging and the momentum of economic growth has significantly slowed down in the second quarter of 2019, in particular the uncertainty and trade tension between the United States and the PRC, the Board believes that it is necessary for the Group to explore other business opportunities with a view to broadening the Group’s revenue source other than the Manufacturing Business.

Business opportunity and actions taken by the Group

According to the available market statistics, the total number of listed companies has increased from 1,547 in 2012 to 2,315 in 2018, and the number of newly listed companies has shown a general increase from 64 in 2012 to 218 in 2018. The growing number of listed companies represents an expanding customer base for financial printers as publication of listing documents, announcements, circulars and annual reports is required in compliance with listing rules and regulations, representing a greater demand for financial printing services.

In light of the above, the Group is of the view that the increase in the number of new listings in equity fund raising activities on the Stock Exchange is expected to bring growth of the financial printing services. Therefore, the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding with the Vendor in relation to the Acquisition on 10 June 2019, and the Company has engaged a consultant with effect from 1 August 2019, who has over 15 years of relevant experience in financial printing industry to assist the Group to explore and evaluate the proposed Acquisition, in order to expand the Group’s business portfolio, diversify income source and possibly enhance the financial performance of the Group.

Factors considered and benefit of the Acquisition

There are several key entrant barriers for the financial printing services industry, including, (i) financial printing services industry is labour-intensive in nature and requires a number of various professionals including designers, translators and printing management staff in order to maintain a seamless year-round operation; (ii) track record and service level play important roles in the success of a financial printing services provider; and (iii)

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

customer referral is common in the industry, and investment banks and listed companies prefer to refer financial printers based on portfolio, experience, service and scale of operations. Therefore, the Group is of the view that acquiring a financial printing services company is the most efficient way of entering into the financial printing services industry compared to setting up a new company from scratch.

Having considered various factors, including (i) the rapid growth in the revenue of the Target Group within a short period of time; (ii) experience and network of the management team of the Target Group in the financial printing services industry; (iii) its unutilised production capacity; and (iv) its improved financial performance in 2019, the Directors are of the view that the future prospect of the Target Group is positive despite the Target Group recorded net loss and net liability since its establishment in 2017. If the Transactions materialize, the Directors believe that the Target Group could result a turnaround of its financial performance with the use of the financial resource from the Placing and certain resources and expertise of the Group. Therefore, the Directors are of the view that the Group would benefit from diversifying its revenue source through the Acquisition.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms and conditions of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

After the Acquisition Completion, Target Company will become a non wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Directors do not have previous experience in operating a financial printing business. Therefore, the Company has engaged a consultant in August 2019 to evaluate and advise the Board on the proposed Acquisition and it is intended that the consultant will be involved in the management of the Target Group after the Acquisition Completion. The consultant has over 15 years of experience in the financial printing industry and he has worked in several well-know financial printers in Hong Kong and held key management positions in some of them. The Board is confident that the consultant would be competent and capable of managing and making valuable contribution to the business and development of Solomon Financial. Moreover, the Board does not anticipate substantial changes to the existing executives and staff of Solomon Financial and expect them to continue with their service in the company, thus providing continuity and stability at the working level.

(II) THE PLACING AGREEMENT

On 9 September 2019 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange), the Company entered into the Placing Agreement with the Placing Agent, pursuant to which the Placing Agent has agreed, as agent of the Company, to procure on a best effort basis not less than six Placees who and whose ultimate beneficial owners shall be Independent Third Parties to subscribe for up to 660,000,000 Placing Shares at the Placing Price of HK$0.028 to HK$0.031 per Placing Share subject to and upon the terms and conditions of the Placing Agreement.

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The principal terms of the Placing Agreement are set out below:

The Placing Agreement

Date: 9 September (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange)

Parties: (i) the Company (as the issuer); and

(ii) Topper Dragon Securities Limited (as the Placing Agent).

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, each of the Placing Agent and its ultimate beneficial owners is an Independent Third Party.

Placing Commission

Pursuant to the terms of the Placing Agreement, the Placing Agent will receive a placing commission of 2.5% of the amount which is equal to the Placing Price multiplied by the number of Placing Shares actually placed by the Placing Agent. The placing commission in respect of the Placing was negotiated on arm’s length basis between the Company and the Placing Agent and was determined with reference to, among other things, the prevailing commission rate charged by other placing agents and the price performance of the Shares.

Placees

The Placing Shares will be placed to not less than six Placees who shall be professional, institutional and/or other investors, and who and whose ultimate beneficial owners are Independent Third Parties. Upon Placing Completion, it is expected that none of the Placees will become a substantial shareholder of the Company. If any of the Placees will become a substantial shareholder of the Company after Placing Completion, further announcement will be made by the Company.

As at the Last Practicable Date, no placee has been identified yet.

Placing Shares

Assuming that there will be no change in the issued share capital of the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the Placing Completion, the maximum number of 660,000,000 Placing Shares under the Placing represents (i) approximately 18.86% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (ii) approximately 15.87% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of all the Placing Shares.

The maximum aggregate nominal value of the Placing Shares will be approximately HK$1.32 million.

– 12 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Placing Shares will be allotted and issued under the Specific Mandate to be approved by the Shareholders at the EGM. An application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Placing Shares.

The Placing Shares, when allotted and issued, will rank pari passu in all respects among themselves and with the Shares in issue on the date of allotment and issue of the Placing Shares.

Placing Price

The minimum Placing Price of HK$0.028 per Placing Share represents:

  • (i) a discount of approximately 6.67% to the closing price of HK$0.03 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 9 September 2019, being the date of the Placing Agreement;

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 2.78% to the average closing price of approximately HK$0.0288 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the Placing Agreement; and

  • (iii) a premium of approximately 180% over the net asset value of approximately HK$0.01 per Share as at 30 June 2019 (based on the consolidated net assets of the Group of the approximately HK$34.42 million as at 30 June 2019 and 3,500,000,000 Shares in issue as at the date of this circular.)

The Placing Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Placing Agent with reference to, among other things, the prevailing market prices and the recent trading performance of the Shares. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Placing Agreement (including the Placing Price and the placing commission) are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable based on the current market conditions and that also taking into account the reasons set out in the section headed ‘‘Reasons for and benefits of the Placing and use of proceeds’’ of this circular, the Placing is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Ranking of Placing Shares

The Placing Shares, when issued and fully paid, will rank pari passu in all respects among themselves and with the issued Shares as at the date of Placing Completion.

Conditions of the Placing

  • (i) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting approval for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Placing Shares;

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

APPLICATION FOR LISTING

Application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of and permission to deal in the Placing Shares.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PLACING AND USE OF PROCEEDS

As disclosed in this circular, the Company intends to use part of the net proceeds raised by the Placing to satisfy to Consideration under the Sale and Purchase Agreement. Further, the Directors are of the view that the Placing can strengthen the financial position of the Group and provide additional working capital to the Group for its corporate purposes and for the operation of the Target Group after Acquisition Completion. The Placing also represents good opportunities to broaden the shareholders’ base and the capital base of the Company, which may in turn enhance the liquidity of the Shares. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Placing is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Assuming all the Placing Shares are fully placed, the gross proceeds from the Placing are expected to range from HK$18.48 million to HK$20.46 million. The net proceeds, after deduction of all relevant expenses (including but not limited to placing commission, legal expenses and disbursements) incidental to the Placing are estimated to range from approximately HK$18.00 million to HK$19.93 million. The net price per Placing Share will be approximately HK$0.027 to HK$0.030. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Placing as to: (i) HK$2.00 million to pay the Consideration under the Sale and Purchase Agreement; (ii) HK$6.50 million as general working capital of the Target Group after Acquisition Completion; and (iii) approximately HK$9.50 million to HK$11.43 million as general working capital of the Group. For illustrative purpose, the following table sets out the estimation of the use of proceeds as general working capital of the Group and the Target Group (assuming the net price per Placing Share is at the low end of HK$0.027 and the available net proceeds for the general working capital of the Group and the Target Group amounts to approximately HK$9.50 million and HK$6.50 million, respectively).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors had considered other fund raising alternatives available to the Group such as debt financing, rights issues and open offer. However, debt financing will result in additional interest burden. Accordingly, the Directors considers that it is prudent to finance the funding needs of the Group in the form of equity which will not increase the Group’s finance costs. On the other hand, rights issue or open offer usually requires discount to the current market price of the Shares and involves the issue of listing documents with other application and administrative procedures which are relatively more time consuming and less cost effective, the Directors consider that the issue of Placing Shares under Specific Mandate is a more desirable solution for the Group to reduce the gearing ratio and enlarge the capital base for business development. Although the allotment and issue of the Placing Shares will have a dilution effect to the existing Shareholders, having considered (i) the Placing Price represents a premium over the net tangible assets of the Group per Share as of 30 June 2019; (ii) the Placing Shares, when allotted and issued, will be recognized entirely as equity of the Company which in turn will reduce the gearing ratio, enlarge the capital base for business development and enhance the net asset position of the Company, the Directors consider that the dilution effect arising from the allotment and issue of the Placing Shares is justifiable in this regard. In view of the above, the Directors consider that the terms of the Placing Agreement (including the Placing Price) are fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Shareholders are concerned. Save for the above and as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors do not have any intention or plan (initial or concrete) or otherwise foresee to undertake any fund raising plans. However, the Directors will not rule out that they may consider fundraising activities when it is reasonably necessary for the Group to raise fund to meet its operational needs or for future development. The Directors will consider carefully the likely impact on the Shareholders before they will proceed on any such fund raising exercises.

FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES OF THE COMPANY DURING THE PAST 12 MONTHS

The Company has not carried out any fund raising activities during the past 12 months immediately preceding the date of this circular.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE TRANSACTIONS

Upon completion of the Transactions, the Target Company will become a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the financial results of the Target Group will be consolidated into the accounts of the Group. The financial effects of the Acquisition and Placing is summarized as follows.

Effect on assets and liabilities of the Group

Set out in Appendix IV to this circular is the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group which illustrates the financial effects of the Acquisition assuming the Acquisition Completion and the Placing Completion had taken place on 30 June 2019. Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group, the total assets of the Group would increase approximately from approximately HK$63.17 million to approximately HK$116.09 million and its total liabilities would increase approximately from approximately HK$28.75 million to approximately HK$63.78 million.

The increase in total assets would be mainly attributable to (a) the net increase of approximately HK$16.00 million in cash and cash equivalents due to the net proceeds from the Placing (assuming the net price for Placing Share is at low end of HK$0.027 per share) and settlement of the Consideration of the Acquisition; (b) the recognition of right-of-use

– 18 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

assets of approximately HK$14.71 million due to the adoption of HKFRS 16 ‘‘Leases’’; and (c) the addition of the total assets of the Target Group of approximately HK$22.21 million resulting from the Acquisition.

The increase in total liabilities would be mainly attributable to (a) the addition of the total liabilities of the Target Group of approximately HK$52.04 million resulting from the Acquisition; (b) the recognition of lease liabilities of approximately HK$14.71 million due to the adoption of HKFRS 16 ‘‘Leases’’; (c) the accrued transaction costs in relation to the Acquisition of approximately HK$1.24 million; and (d) partially offset by the waiver of financial assistance from the Vendor amounting to approximately HK$32.96 million.

Effect on earnings of the Group

In light of the positive outlook of the financial printing business and other factors as stated in the section headed ‘‘Reasons and benefits of the Acquisition’’, the Board is of the view that the Target Group will enhance the revenue stream of the Group.

The total estimated acquisition-related costs for the Acquisition of the Target Company of approximately HK$1.24 million is to be incurred and to be charged to consolidated profit or loss upon the Acquisition Completion. According to the accountants’ report on the Target Group as set out in Appendix II to this circular, the Target Group recorded a net loss of approximately HK$21.37 million for the year ended 31 March 2019.

Having considered (a) the Company will re-engineer the structure of the Target Group for efficiency enhancement; (b) stringent cost control on operation to be applied; (c) comprehensive corporate governance and management standards to be applied; and (d) the Placing will provide sufficient working capital for the Target Group, the Directors believe the business model and financial results of the Target Group will be improved after the Acquisition Completion.

GEM LISTING RULES IMPLICATION

Major Transaction

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 19.07 of the GEM Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition is more than 25% but less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Rule 19.06(3) of the GEM Listing Rules and will accordingly be subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.

Specific Mandate

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

EGM

The EGM will be convened to consider and, if thought fit, approve, among other things, (i) the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, (ii) the Placing Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder; and (iii) the Specific Mandate.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder has a material interest in the Acquisition or the Placing which is different from other Shareholders, and therefore no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolution(s) in respect of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Placing Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and the Specific Mandate to be proposed at the EGM if the Company is to convene a general meeting for approving the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Placing Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and the Specific Mandate respectively.

VOTING BY POLL

All the resolutions set out in the notice of the EGM would be decided by poll in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules and the articles of association of the Company. On a poll, every Shareholders present in person (or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative) or by proxy shall have one vote for every fully paid Share held. A Shareholder present in person (or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative) or by proxy who is entitled to more one vote need not to use all his/its votes or cast all his/its votes in the same way. After the conclusion of the EGM, the poll results will be published on website of the Stock Exchange at www.hkexnews.hk and the website of the Company at www.jetepower.com.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Placing Agreement are fair and reasonable and the entering into the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Placing Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the EGM to approve the (i) Sale and Purchase Agreement; (ii) the Placing Agreement; and (iii) Specific Mandate.

WARNING

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that each of the Acquisition Completion and the Placing Completion is subject to the fulfilment (or, as the case may be, waiver) of the conditions set out in the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Placing Agreement respectively. The Acquisition and the Placing may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are therefore urged to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

4. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors were not aware of any material adverse change in the financial or trading position of the Group since 31 December 2018, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were made up.

The Company is an investment holding company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the manufacturing of metal casting parts and components in the PRC and sells its products to Germany, PRC, Hong Kong and the United States (the ‘‘Manufacturing Business’’). For diversification purpose, the Group has also engaged in the concerts and events organization business.

Considering that the global economic environment remains challenging and the momentum of economic growth has significantly slowed down since the second quarter of 2019, in particular the uncertainty and trade tension between the United States and PRC, the Group will endeavor to improve its revenue performance on its core business by executing flexible strategies to face the market challenges. Meanwhile, the Board believes that it is necessary for the Group to explore other business opportunities with a view to broadening the Group’s revenue source other than the Manufacturing Business.

In light of great demand for financial printing services as mentioned in the section headed ‘‘Reasons and benefits of the Acquisition’’ in this circular, the Group targets to proactively pursue business opportunities in financial printing services industry and has engaged a consultant with effect from 1 August 2019, who has over 15 years of relevant experience in financial printing industry, to assist the Group to evaluate the Acquisition and explore the business opportunities.

The Group will continue to put effort to improve and enhance its existing businesses. At the same time, the Group will actively explore and identify investment opportunities in order to diversify the business portfolio as to enhance the long-term growth potential of the Group and maximize the Shareholders’ benefits.

APPENDIX II

==> picture [136 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON HISTORICAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF SOLOMON HOLDINGS GROUP LIMITED TO THE DIRECTORS OF JETE POWER HOLDINGS LIMITED

Introduction

We report on the historical financial information of Solomon Holdings Group Limited (the ‘‘Target Company’’) and its subsidiary (together, the ‘‘Target Group’’) set out on pages II-4 to II-35, which comprises the consolidated statements of financial position of the Target Group as at 31 March 2018 and 2019, the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and the consolidated statements of cash flows of the Target Group for the period from 12 June 2017 (date of incorporation) to 31 March 2018 and year ended 31 March 2019 (the ‘‘Relevant Periods’’) and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information (together, the ‘‘Historical Financial Information’’). The Historical Financial Information forms an integral part of this report, which has been prepared for inclusion in the circular of Jete Power Holdings Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) dated 25 September 2019 (the ‘‘Circular’’) in connection with the proposed acquisition of 75% of equity interests of the Target Group by the Company.

Sole Director’s responsibility for the Historical Financial Information

The sole director of the Target Company is responsible for the preparation of Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in note 2 to the Historical Financial Information, and for such internal control as the sole director of the Target Company determines is necessary to enable the preparation of Historical Financial Information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

The directors of the Target Company are responsible for the contents of the Circular in which the Historical Financial Information of the Target Company is included, and such information is prepared based on accounting policies materially consistent with those of the Company.

Reporting accountant’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Historical Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We conducted our work in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Investment Circular Reporting Engagements 200 ‘‘Accountants’ Reports on Historical Financial Information in Investment Circulars’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the ‘‘HKICPA’’). This standard requires that we comply with ethical standards and plan and perform our work to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Financial Information is free from material misstatement.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

Our work involved performing procedures to obtain evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Financial Information. The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant’s judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the Historical Financial Information, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the reporting accountant’s consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of Historical Financial Information that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in note 2 to the Historical Financial Information in order to design procedures that appropriate in the circumstance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Our work also included evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the sole director, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Financial Information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion the Historical Financial Information gives, for the purposes of the accountants’ report, a true and fair view of the Target Group’s financial position as at 31 March 2018 and 2019, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the Relevant Periods in accordance with the basis of preparation and presentation set out in note 2 to the Historical Financial Information.

Material uncertainty relating to going concern

We draw attention to note 2(d) to the Historical Financial Information concerning the adoption of the going concern basis on which the Historical Financial Information have been prepared. As at 31 March 2019, the Target Group had net current liabilities of HK$41,862,000 and net liabilities of HK$29,824,000. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Target Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • (a) Basis of preparation of the Historical Financial Information

These Historical Financial Information have been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (‘‘HKFRSs’’), which collective term includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (‘‘HKASs’’) and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (‘‘HKICPA’’), accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong.

The HKICPA has issued certain new and revised HKFRSs that are first effective or available for early adoption for the current accounting period of the Target Group. Note 2(c) provides information on any changes in accounting policies resulting from initial application of these developments to the extent that they are relevant to the Target Group for the current and prior accounting periods reflected in these Historical Financial Information.

The Target Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period (see note 24).

– II-8 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

The Historical Financial Information also complies with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Stock Exchange’’).

A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the Target Group is set out below.

(b) Basis of measurement

The measurement basis used in the preparation of the Historical Financial Information is the historical cost basis.

The preparation of the Historical Financial Information in conformity with HKFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. 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.

Judgements made by management in the application of HKFRSs that have significant effect on the Historical Financial Information and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in note 23.

(c) Changes in accounting policies

The HKICPA has issued a number of new HKFRSs and amendments to HKFRSs that are first effective for the current accounting period of the Target Group. Of these, the following developments are relevant to the Target Group’s Historical Financial Information:

HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

HKFRS 9 ‘‘Financial Instruments’’

HKFRS 9 replaces HKAS 39 ‘‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’’. It sets out the requirements for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy or sell non-financial items.

The Target Group has applied HKFRS 9 retrospectively to items that existed at 1 April 2018 in accordance with the transition requirements. There is no significant impact on the Target Group’s financial position and financial performance upon initial application at 1 April 2018.

Further details of the nature and effect of the changes to previous accounting policies and the transition approach are set out below:

(i) Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities

HKFRS 9 contains three principal classification categories for financial assets: measured at (1) amortised cost, (2) at fair value through other comprehensive income and (3) at fair value through profit or loss. The classification of financial assets is determined based on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the

– II-9 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

asset. The Target Group has assessed that its financial assets measured at amortised cost at 31 March 2018 continue with their classifications and measurements upon the adoption of HKFRS on 1 April 2018.

The classification and measurement requirements for financial liabilities under HKFRS 9 are largely unchanged from HKAS 39, except that HKFRS 9 requires the fair value change of a financial liability designated at fair value through profit or loss that is attributable to changes of that financial liability’s credit risk to be recognised in other comprehensive income (without reclassification to profit or loss). The Target Group does not have any financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss and therefore this new requirement has no impact on the Target Group’s Historical Financial Information.

(ii) Credit losses

HKFRS 9 replaces the ‘‘incurred loss’’ model in HKAS 39 with the ‘‘expected credit loss’’ (‘‘ECL’’) model. The ECL model requires an ongoing measurement of credit risk associated with a financial asset and therefore recognises ECLs earlier than under the ‘‘incurred loss’’ model in HKAS 39. The Target Group applies the new ECL model to the financial assets measured at amortised cost (including cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and deposits). Further details on the Target Group’s accounting policy for credit losses are set out in note 2(h)(i).

The Target Group has assessed that the adoption of the ‘‘expected credit loss’’ model to the financial assets that existed at 1 April 2018 has had no significant impact on the Target Group’s financial position as at 1 April 2018 and its financial performance for the year then ended.

HKFRS 15 ‘‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’’

HKFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for recognising revenue and some costs from contracts with customers. HKFRS 15 replaces HKAS 18 ‘‘Revenue’’, HKAS 11 ‘‘Construction Contracts’’ and related interpretations.

HKFRS 15 also introduces additional qualitative and quantitative disclosure requirements which aim to enable users of the Historical Financial Information to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

Further details of new significant accounting policies and effect of the changes are set out below:

(i) Timing of revenue recognition

Previously, provision of financial printing and related service was recognised on an utilisation time basis.

Under HKFRS 15, revenue is recognised when the customer obtains control of the promised goods or service in the contract. This may be at a single point in time or over time. HKFRS 15 identifies the following three situations in which control of the promised good or service is regarded as being transferred over time:

  • When the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the entity’s performance, as the entity performs;

  • When the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset (for example work in progress) that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced;

– II-10 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

  • When the entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

If the contract terms and the entity’s activities do not fall into any of these 3 situations, then under HKFRS 15 the entity recognises revenue for the sale of that goods or service at a single point in time, being when control has passed. Transfer of risks and rewards of ownership is only one of the indicators that is considered in determining when the transfer of control occurs.

The director considers the adoption of HKFRS 15 does not have material impact on the timing and amounts of revenue recognised in the years presented in these Historical Financial Information.

  • (ii) Presentation of contract assets and liabilities

Under HKFRS 15, a receivable is recognised only if the Target Group has an unconditional right to consideration. If the Target Group recognises the related revenue before being unconditionally entitled to the consideration for the promised goods and services in the contract, then the entitlement to consideration is classified as a contract asset.

Similarly, a contract liability, rather than a payable, is recognised when a customer pays consideration, or is contractually required to pay consideration and the amount is already due, before the Target Group recognises the related revenue. For a single contract with the customer, either a net contract asset or a net contract liability is presented. For multiple contracts, contract assets and contract liabilities of unrelated contracts are not presented on a net basis.

To reflect these changes in presentation regarding the balance at 1 April 2018, ‘‘other receivables’’ of HK$785,000 which was previously included in ‘‘Prepayments, deposits and other receivables’’ is now included under contract assets, whereas ‘‘receipt in advance’’ of HK$1,466,000 which was previously included in trade and other payables is now included under contract liabilities.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

(iv) Transition

The Target Group has elected to use the cumulative effect transition method and has recognised the cumulative effect of initial application as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity as at 1 April 2018. Therefore, comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under HKAS 18. As allowed by HKFRS 15, the Target Group has applied the new requirements only to contracts that were not completed before 1 April 2018 (if any). There is no impact of transition to HKFRS 15 on retained earnings as at 1 April 2018.

(d) Going concern

The Historical Financial Information have been prepared on a going concern basis, not withstanding the Target Group had net current liabilities of HK$41,862,000 (2018: HK$20,953,000) and net liabilities of HK$29,824,000 (2018: HK$8,453,000) as at 31 March 2019. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Target Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the director considers that going concern basis of preparation of the Historical Financial Information is valid as the shareholder of the Target Group, Ms. Woo Lan Mei, has undertaken to provide such financial support as is necessary to enable the Target Group to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due and to continue its operation as a going concern for at least the next twelve months. If the going concern basis were not appropriate, adjustments would need to be made to re-classify non-current assets as current assets, to write down assets to their net realisable amounts and to provide for any additional liabilities that may crystallise on the cessation of business. The continuation of the business as a going concern is dependent upon the Target Group attaining future profitable operations and the continuing financial support of its shareholder.

(e) Subsidiary

Subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Target Group. The Target Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. When assessing whether the Target Group has power, only substantive rights (held by the Target Group and other parties) are considered.

An investment in a subsidiary is consolidated into the Historical Financial Information from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. Intra-group balances, transactions and cash flows and any unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full in preparing the Historical Financial Information. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

Changes in the Target Group’s interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions, whereby adjustments are made to the amounts of controlling and non-controlling interests within consolidated equity to reflect the changes in relative interests, but no adjustments are made to goodwill and no gain or loss is recognised.

When the Target Group loses control of a subsidiary, it is accounted for a disposal of the entire interest in that subsidiary, with a resulting gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in that former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is recognised at fair value and this amount is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or, when appropriate, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or joint venture.

In the Target Company’s statement of financial position, an investment in a subsidiary is stated at cost less impairment losses (see note 2(h)(ii)).

– II-12 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

(f) Property, plant and equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see note 2(h)(ii)).

Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item and are recognised in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives at the following annual rates:

Leasehold improvements 33% Furniture, fixtures and equipment 20% Computer equipment 20%

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of the item is allocated on a reasonable basis between the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value, if any, are reviewed annually.

(g) Operating lease charges

Where the Target Group has the use of assets held under operating leases, payments made under the leases are charged to profit or loss in equal instalments over the accounting periods covered by the lease term, except where an alternative basis is more representative of the pattern of benefits to be derived from the leased asset. Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the aggregate net lease payments made. Contingent rentals are charged to profit or loss in the accounting period in which they are incurred.

(h) Credit losses and impairment of assets

  • (i) Credit losses from financial instruments

  • (A) Policy applicable from 1 April 2018

The Target Group recognises a loss allowance for ECLs on the following items:

  • financial assets measured at amortised cost (including cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables); and

  • contract assets as defined in HKFRS 15 (see note 2(i)).

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all expected cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Target Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Target Group expects to receive).

The expected cash shortfalls are discounted using the following discount rates where the effect of discounting is material:

  • fixed-rate financial assets, trade and other receivables and contract assets: effective interest rate determined at initial recognition or an approximation thereof;

– II-13 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

  • variable-rate financial assets: current effective interest rate;

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over the Target Group is exposed to credit risk.

In measuring ECLs, the Target Group takes into account reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort. This includes information about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

ECLs are measured on either of the following bases:

  • 12-month ECLs: these are losses that are expected to result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date; and

  • lifetime ECLs: these are losses that are expected to result from all possible default events over the expected lives of the items to which the ECL model applies.

Loss allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs which result from possible default events over the expected lives of these financial assets. ECLs on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based on the Target Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors and an assessment of both the current and forecast general economic conditions at the end of the reporting date.

For all other financial instruments, the Target Group recognises a loss allowance equal to 12-month ECLs unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk of the financial instrument since initial recognition, in which case the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

Significant increase in credit risk

In assessing whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Target Group compares the risk of default occurring on the financial instrument assessed at the end of the reporting period with that assessed at the date of initial recognition. In making this reassessment, the Target Group considers that a default event occurs when (i) the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Target Group in full, without recourse by the Target Group to actions such as realising security (if any is held); or (ii) the financial asset is 1 year past due. The Target 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 since initial recognition:

  • failure to make payments of principal and interest on their contractually due dates;

  • an actual or expected significant deterioration in a financial instrument’s external or internal credit rating (if available);

  • an actual or expected significant deterioration in the operating results of the debtor; and

– II-14 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

  • existing or forecast changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have a significant adverse effect on the debtor’s ability to meet its obligation to the Target Group.

Depending on the nature of the financial instruments, the assessment of a significant increase in credit risk is performed on either an individual basis or a collective basis. When the assessment is performed on a collective basis, the financial instruments are grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics, such as past due status and credit risk ratings.

ECLs are remeasured at the each reporting date to reflect changes in the financial instrument’s credit risk since initial recognition. Any change in the ECLs amount is recognised as an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss. The Target Group recognises an impairment gain or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.

Basis of calculation of interest income

Interest income recognised in accordance with note 2(p)(iii) 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 the amortised cost (i.e. the gross carrying amount less loss allowance) of the financial asset.

At each reporting date, the Target Group assesses whether a financial asset is creditimpaired. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.

Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable events:

significant financial difficulties of the debtor;

  • a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;

  • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter into bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;

  • significant changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have an adverse effect on the debtor; or

  • the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties of the issuer.

Write-off policy

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset or contract asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Target Group determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off.

Subsequent recoveries of an asset that was previously written off are recognised as a reversal of impairment in profit or loss in the period in which the recovery occurs.

– II-15 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

  • (B) Policy applicable prior to 1 April 2018

Prior to 1 April 2018, an ‘‘incurred loss’’ model was used to measure impairment losses on financial assets not classified as at fair value through profit or loss (e.g. trade and other receivables). Under the ‘‘incurred loss’’ model, an impairment loss was recognised only when there was objective evidence of impairment. Objective evidence of impairment included:

  • significant financial difficulty of the debtor;

  • a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;

  • it becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; and

  • significant changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment that have an adverse effect on the debtor.

If any such evidence existed, an impairment loss was determined and recognised as follows:

— For trade and other receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost, impairment loss was measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, where the effect of discounting was material. This assessment was made collectively where these financial assets shared similar risk characteristics, such as similar past due status, and had not been individually assessed as impaired. Future cash flows for financial assets which were assessed for impairment collectively were based on historical loss experience for assets with credit risk characteristics similar to the collective group.

If in a subsequent period the amount of an impairment loss decreased and the decrease could be linked objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the impairment loss was reversed through profit or loss. A reversal of an impairment loss was only recognised to the extent that it did not result in the asset’s carrying amount exceeding that which would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years.

When the recovery of a trade debtor or other financial assets carried at amortised cost was considered doubtful but not remote, associated impairment losses were recorded using an allowance account. When the Target Group was satisfied that recovery was remote, the amount considered irrecoverable was written off against the gross carrying amount of those assets directly. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously charged to the allowance account were reversed against the allowance account. Other changes in the allowance account and subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off directly were recognised in profit or loss.

(ii) Impairment of other non-current assets

Internal and external sources of information are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to identify indications that the following assets may be impaired or, except in the case of goodwill, an impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased:

property, plant and equipment; and

– II-16 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

  • investment in a subsidiary in the Target Company’s statement of financial position.

If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its 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. Where an asset does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows independently (i.e. a cashgenerating unit).

Recognition of impairment losses

An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount of an asset, or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs, exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (or group of units) on a pro rata basis, except that the carrying value of an asset will not be reduced below its individual fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable) or value in use (if determinable).

Reversals of impairment losses

An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a favourable change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. A reversal of an impairment loss is limited to the asset’s carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. Reversals of impairment losses are credited to profit or loss in the year in which the reversals are recognised.

(i) Contract assets and contract liabilities

A contract asset is recognised when the Target Group recognises revenue (see note 2(p)) before being unconditionally entitled to the consideration under the payment terms set out in the contract. Contract assets are assessed for expected credit losses (ECL) in accordance with the policy set out in note 2(h)(i) and are reclassified to receivables when the right to the consideration has become unconditional (see note 2(j)).

A contract liability is recognised when the customer pays consideration before the Target Group recognises the related revenue (see note 2(p)). A contract liability would also be recognised if the Target Group has an unconditional right to receive consideration before the Target Group recognises the related revenue. In such cases, a corresponding receivable would also be recognised (see note 2(j)).

For a single contract with the customer, either a net contract asset or a net contract liability is presented. For multiple contracts, contract assets and contract liabilities of unrelated contracts are not presented on a net basis.

(j) Trade and other receivables

A receivable is recognised when the Target Group has an unconditional right to receive consideration. A right to receive consideration is unconditional if only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due. If revenue has been recognised before the Target Group has an unconditional right to receive consideration, the amount is presented as a contract asset (see note 2(i)).

– II-17 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

Receivables are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method less allowance for credit losses (see note 2(h)(i)).

(k) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents are assessed for expected credit losses in accordance with the accounting policy set out in note 2(h)(i).

(l) Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently stated at amortised cost unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

(m) Employee benefits

Short term employee benefits and defined contribution retirement plans

Salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave and the cost of non-monetary benefits are accrued in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Where payment or settlement is deferred and the effect would be material, these amounts are stated at their present values.

Contributions to mandatory provident fund as required under the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance are recognised as an expense in profit or loss as incurred.

(n) Income tax

Income tax for the year comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that they relate to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the relevant amounts of tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year/period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous period.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable temporary differences respectively, being the differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from unused tax losses and unused tax credits.

Apart from certain limited exceptions, all deferred tax liabilities, and all deferred tax assets to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised, are recognised. Future taxable profits that may support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences include those that will arise from the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, provided those differences relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse either in the same period as the expected reversal of the deductible temporary difference or in periods into which a tax loss arising from the deferred tax asset can be carried back or forward. The same criteria are adopted when determining whether existing taxable temporary differences support the recognition of deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and

– II-18 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

credits, that is, those differences are taken into account if they relate to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, and are expected to reverse in a period, or periods, in which the tax loss or credit can be utilised.

The limited exceptions to recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities are those temporary differences arising from goodwill not deductible for tax purposes, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit (provided they are not part of a business combination), and temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that, in the case of taxable differences, the Target Group controls the timing of the reversal and it is probable that the differences will not reserve in the foreseeable future, or in the case of deductible differences, unless it is probable that they will reverse in the future.

The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and is reduced to the extent that is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow the related tax benefit to be utilised. Any such reduction is reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.

Additional income taxes that arise from the distribution of dividends are recognised when the liability to pay the related dividends is recognised.

Current tax balances and deferred tax balances, and movements therein, are presented separately from each other and are not offset. Current tax assets are offset against current tax liabilities, and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities, if the Target Group or the Target Company has the legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the following additional conditions are met:

  • in the case of current tax assets and liabilities, the Target Group or the Target Company intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously; or

  • in the case of deferred tax assets and liabilities, if they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

  • the same taxable entity; or

  • different taxable entities, which, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered, intend to realise the current tax assets and settle the current tax liabilities on a net basis or realise and settle simultaneously.

(o) Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised for other liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Target Group or the Target Company has a legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditure expected to settle the obligation.

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.

(p) Revenue and other income

The Target Group recognises revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when control over a product underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customers, at the amount of promised consideration to which the Target Group is expected to entitled.

Further details of the Target Group’s revenue and other income recognition policies are as follows:

(i) Revenue from provision of integrated commercial and financial printing services

Revenue is recognised at a point in time at which the customer obtains the control of the promised asset, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered to customers and the title is passed. In the comparative period, revenue is recognised when (i) the services are provided and the transactions can be measured reliably; (ii) it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction can be measured reliably.

(ii) Provision from provision of financial printing services on Initial Public Offering (‘‘IPO’’) projects

Revenue is recognised over time as the performance obligation is satisfied when the customer receives and uses the benefits simultaneously. For revenue recognised over time under HKFRS 15, provided the outcome of the performance obligation can be reasonably measured, the Target Group applies the input method (i.e. based on the proportion of the actual inputs deployed to date as compared to the estimated total inputs) to measure the progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation because there is a direct relationship between the Target Group’s inputs and the transfer of control of goods or services to the customers and reliable information is available to the Target Group to apply the method. Otherwise, revenue is recognised only to the extent of the costs incurred until such time that it can reasonably measure the outcome of the performance obligation. In comparative period, revenue is recognised based on the stage of completion of the contracts as described in the accounting policy for service contracts below. The recognition of revenue on this basis provides information about the extent of service activities and performance at the end of the reporting period as integrated printing services are spanned for months and sometimes across different reporting periods.

(iii) Interest income

Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method.

(q) Translation of foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the end of the reporting period. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are translated using the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was measured.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

The Target Company or its subsidiary is not subject to either internally or externally imposed capital requirements.

18 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Exposure to credit, liquidity, interest rate and foreign currency risks arises in the normal course of the Target Group’s business. The Target Group’s exposure to these risks and the financial risk management policies and practices used by the Target Group to manage these risks are described below.

(a) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Target Group. The Target Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade receivables. The Target Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents is limited because the counterparties are banks for which the Target Group considers to have low credit risk.

The Target Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. At the end of the reporting period, the Target Group had a concentration of credit risk as 9% (2018: 24%) and 33% (2018: 50%) of total trade receivables due from the largest customer and five largest customers respectively.

Individual credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. These take into account the customer’s past payment history, financial position and other factors. Trade receivables are due within 30 days from the billing date or based on the terms agreed in the service agreements.

The Target Group measures loss allowances for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, which is calculated using a provision matrix. As the Target Group’s historical credit loss experience does not indicate significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished between the Target Group’s different customer bases.

The following table provides information about the Target Group’s exposure to credit risk and ECLs for trade receivables as at 31 March 2019:

Expected

Current (not past due)

Expected loss rates are based on actual loss experience in current year. These rates are adjusted to reflect differences between economic conditions during the period over which the historical data has been collected, current conditions and the Target Group’s view of economic conditions over the expected lives of the receivables.

– II-29 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

Comparative information under HKAS 39

Prior to 1 April 2018, an impairment loss was recognised only when there was objective evidence of impairment (see note 2(h)(i) — policy applicable prior to 1 April 2018). At 31 March 2018, none of trade receivables were determined to be impaired.

The ageing analysis of trade receivables that were neither individually nor collectively considered to be impaired as at 31 March 2018 were as follows:

Current (not past due)
Less than 1 month past due
1 to 3 months past due
More than 3 months but less than 1 year
HK$’000
2,222
518
271
62
3,073

Receivables that were neither past due nor impaired related to a wide range of customers for whom there was no recent history of default.

Receivables that were past due but not impaired related to a number of independent customers that had a good track record with the Target Group. Based on past experience, management believed that no loss allowance was necessary in respect of these balances as there had not been a significant change in credit quality and the balances were still considered fully recoverable.

Movement in loss allowance in respect of trade receivables:

Balance at 12 June 2017 and 31 March 2018 under HKAS 39
Additional credit loss recognised at 1 April 2018
Balance at 1 April 2018 under HKFRS 9
Impairment losses recognised during the year
Balance at 31 March 2019 under HKFRS 9

(b) Liquidity risk

23 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The methods, estimates and judgements the director used in applying the Target Group’s accounting policies have a significant impact on the Target Group’s financial position and operating results. Some of the accounting policies require the Target Group to apply estimates and judgements, on matters that are inherently uncertain. The critical accounting judgements in applying the Target Group’s accounting policies are described below.

(a) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

The Target Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charges for its property, plant and equipment. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. Management will revise the depreciation charge where useful lives are different to previously estimated, or will write-off or writedown technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold.

– II-33 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

(b) Loss allowances for trade and other receivables

The Target Group estimates the loss allowances for trade and other receivables by assessing the ECLs. This requires the use of estimates and judgements. ECLs are based on the Target Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, and an assessment of both the current and forecast general economic conditions at the end of the reporting period. Where the estimation is different from the previous estimate, such difference will affect the carrying amounts of trade and other receivables and thus the impairment loss in the period in which such estimate is changed.

(c) Revenue recognition

The Target Group recognised revenue from provision of financial printing services on IPO projects through over time by reference to the progress of satisfaction of performance obligations of each project at the reporting date. The progress is determined based on actual inputs, such as translation costs and other printing costs, deployed on each project and the respective input costs comparing to the estimated total service costs of each project by tracing to the contracts signed with respective customers. The computation of the progress and estimation of total service costs for each project require the use of judgement and estimates.

(d) Going concern basis

Although the Target Group has net current liabilities of HK$41,862,000 and net liabilities of HK$29,824,000 at the end of the reporting period, the Target Group manages its liquidity risk by fund advance from a shareholder and ensuring sufficient liquid cash to meet the Target Group’s liquidity requirements in the short and long term. The Target Group’s shareholder has undertaken to provide adequate funds to enable the Target Group to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due in the foreseeable future and not to demand for repayment of the balances due from the Target Group within the next twelve months from the end of the reporting period. Details of the factor that may cast doubt on the Target Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and the measures taken are disclosed in note 2(d).

24 POSSIBLE IMPACT OF AMENDMENTS, NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019

Up to the date of issue of these Historical Financial Information, the HKICPA has issued a number of amendments, new standards and interpretations which are not yet effective for the year ended 31 March 2019 and which have not been adopted in these Historical Financial Information. These include the following which may be relevant to the Target Group:

HKFRS 16 Leases[1] HK(IFRIC) 23 Uncertainty over income tax treatments[1]

1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

The Target Group is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these amendments, new standards and interpretations is expected to be in the period of initial application. So far it has concluded that the adoption of them will not have a significant impact on the Target Group’s financial position and performance. Further details of adoption of HKFRS 16 are discussed below.

HKFRS 16 is not expected to impact significantly on the way that lessors account for their right and obligations under a lease. However, once HKFRS 16 is adopted, lessees will no longer distinguish between finance leases and operating leases. Instead, subject to practical expedients, lessees will be required to account for all leases of more than 12 months in a similar way to current finance lease accounting, i.e. at the commencement date of the lease the lessee will recognise and measure a lease liability at the present value of the minimum future lease payments and will recognise a corresponding ‘‘right-of-use’’ asset. After initial recognition of this asset and liability, the lessee will recognise interest expense accrued on the outstanding balance of the

– II-34 –

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT OF THE TARGET GROUP

APPENDIX II

lease liability, and the depreciation of the right-of-use asset, instead of the current policy of recognising rental expenses incurred under operating leases on a systematic basis over the lease term. As a practical expedient, the lessee can elect not to apply this accounting model to short-term leases (i.e. where the lease term is 12 months or less) and to leases of low-value assets, in which case the rental expenses would continue to be recognised on a systematic basis over the lease term.

HKFRS 16 will primarily affect the Target Group’s accounting as a lessee of leases for properties which are currently classified as operating leases. The application of the new accounting model is expected to lead to an increase in both assets and liabilities and to impact on the timing of the expense recognition in the profit or loss over the period of the lease.

HKFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2019. As allowed by HKFRS 16, the Target Group plans to use the practical expedient to grandfather the previous assessment of which existing arrangements are, or contain, leases. The Target Group will therefore apply the new definition of a lease in HKFRS 16 only to contracts that are entered into on or after the date of initial application. In addition, the Target Group plans to elect the practical expedient for not applying the new accounting model to short-term leases and leases of low-value assets.

The Target Group plans to elect to use the modified retrospective approach for the adoption of HKFRS 16 and will recognise the cumulative effect of initial application as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity at 1 April 2019, if necessary, and will not restate the comparative information. As disclosed in note 20, the Target Group’s future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases for office premises amounted to HK$14,683,000 as at 31 March 2019, which is payable between 1 and 5 years after the end of the reporting period. Upon the initial adoption of HKFRS 16, the opening balances of lease liabilities and the corresponding right-of-use assets will be adjusted to HK$14,707,000, after taking account the effects of discounting, as at 1 April 2019.

25 COMPARATIVE FIGURES

The corresponding comparative amounts shown for the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and related notes cover the period from 12 June 2017 (date of incorporation) to 31 March 2018 and therefore may not be comparable with the amounts shown for the current year.

Set out below is the management discussion and analysis of the Target Group for each of FY2018 and FY2019.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Revenue

The Target Group’s revenue represented income generated from (i) provision of integrated commercial and financial printing services and (ii) financial printing services for IPO projects. During FY2018 and FY2019, the Target Group recorded a revenue of approximately HK$3.5 million and HK$34.7 million respectively, representing an increase of approximately HK$31.2 million or 8.9 times. Such increase is mainly attributable to (i) the result of full year operation for FY2019 as compared to the nine-month operation for FY2018; (ii) the increase in the number of projects in commercial printing services and financial printing services; and (iii) the commencement of financial printing services for IPO projects during FY2019.

APPENDIX III

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE TARGET GROUP

The following table below sets forth information on the revenue and the corresponding revenue recognition policies for FY2018 and FY2019.

The revenue from commercial and financial printing services significantly increased by approximately HK$27.1 million or 7.7 times. During FY2019, the revenue from commercial and financial printing services increased from approximately HK$3.5 million to HK$30.6 million. With the commencement of financial printing services for IPO projects during FY2019, the Target Group recorded a revenue of approximately HK$4.1 million.

Expenses

The Target Group’s expenses mainly comprised of operating expenses and administrative expenses, which are discussed as below. In general, all expenses for FY2019 increased as compared to that of FY2018, which were in line with the increase in revenue and due to the Target Group came into full year operating during FY2019.

Printing and production

Printing and production expenses mainly represented design, typeset, production, consultancy and other services costs. The expenses increased by approximately HK$8.0 million or 20 times from approximately HK$0.4 million for FY2018 to approximately HK$8.4 million for FY2019. Such increase was primarily due to an increase the number of projects in commercial and financial printing services, including prospectus for IPO projects, corporate announcements, financial reports (e.g. annual, interim and/or quarterly reports) and circulars. The corresponding amount represented approximately 11.7% and 24.1% of the Target Group’s revenue for FY2018 and FY2019, respectively. The printing and production expenses as a percentage of revenue increased during FY2019 is mainly due to full year and comprehensive operation during FY2019.

APPENDIX III

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE TARGET GROUP

Translation

Translation expenses represented translation cost to service providers for various types of documents involved in the Target Group’s projects upon customers’ requests. The expenses increased by approximately HK$7.1 million or 14.2 times from approximately HK$0.5 million for FY2018 to approximately HK$7.6 million for FY2019. With more ongoing projects during FY2019, more translation services offered to customers and the increase in translation expenses was in line with the increase in revenue. As a percentage of revenue, translation expenses represented approximately 15.3% and 22.0% for FY2018 and FY2019, respectively and such increase was mainly attributable to full year and comprehensive operation during FY2019.

Distribution charges and other direct costs

Distribution charges and other direct costs mainly represented transportation, copier related expenses and marketing and promotion expenses. During FY2018 and FY2019, the Target Group recorded an increase of approximately HK$1.0 million or 2.5 times, from approximately HK$0.4 million to HK$1.4 million.

Rent and rates

Rent and rates included the rental related expenses for the Target Group’s offices and increased by approximately HK$5.9 million or 1.8 times, from approximately HK$3.2 million for FY2018 to HK$9.1 million for FY2019. The increase in rent and rates was mainly attributable to the lease of an additional office during FY2019 to cope with the Target Group’s operational needs.

Employee benefits expense

Employee benefits expense mainly represented (i) salaries, wages and other benefits and (ii) contributions to defined contribution retirement plan. Such expense increased by approximately HK$15.0 million or 2.3 times from approximately HK$6.6 million for FY2018 to approximately HK$21.6 million for FY2019, which was mainly due to an increase of headcount in different departments to support the Target Group’s operation, for example, the business development, marketing and design. As a percentage of revenue, employee benefits expense represented approximately 186.9% and 62.3% for FY2018 and FY2019, respectively. During FY2018, more upfront costs and fixed overhead such as administrative staff were incurred and hence it was resulted in a higher portion of employee benefits expense as a percentage of revenue.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

The Target Group incurred depreciation charges of approximately HK$0.2 million for FY2018 and HK$2.9 million for FY2019. During FY2019, the depreciation charges mainly arises from leasehold improvements of approximately HK$2.1 million and computer

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE TARGET GROUP

equipment of approximately HK$0.6 million. The increase was mainly attributable to the full year operation of the offices and additions of property, plant and equipment of approximately HK$2.5 million during FY2019.

Impairment loss on trade receivables

During FY2019, the Target Group recorded an impairment loss on trade receivables of approximately HK$0.7 million, which was mainly attributable to receivables pass due for more than six months but less than 12 months. No impairment was made for FY2018. For details of the Target Group’s credit policy, please refer to note 18(a) of the Accountants’ Report of The Target Group in Appendix II to this Circular.

General and other office expenses

General and other office expenses primarily represented building management fee, repair and maintenance, air-conditioning fee and office expenses. Such expenses increased by approximately HK$2.9 million or 2.1 times from approximately HK$1.4 million for FY2018 to approximately HK$4.3 million for FY2019, which were mainly attributable to the Target Group came into full operation during FY2019.

Loss for the year/period

Net losses of approximately HK$9.2 million and HK$21.4 million were incurred for FY2018 and FY2019, respectively. For FY2018, the Target Group incurred a substantial amount of start-up cost including labour cost, leasing expenses and capital expenses. For FY2019, the Target Group then came into a full year operating and resulted in a significant increase in revenue as compared with FY2018. However, taking into account (i) the nonfully utilised production capacity; (ii) fixed overhead (including rent and rates, employee benefits expense, depreciation, general and other office expenses, etc.) to be incurred for daily operation; and (iii) the aforesaid factors, the Target Group’s net loss for FY2019 increased by approximately HK$12.2 million or 1.3 times as compared with that of FY2018.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment primarily consisted of leasehold improvements, computer equipment and furniture, fixtures and equipment. As at 31 March 2018 and 2019, the net book value of property, plant and equipment were approximately HK$8.4 million and HK$8.1 million, respectively. The slight decrease of approximately HK$0.3 million or 3.6% was mainly attributable to the depreciation charges of approximately HK$2.8 million and partially offset by the additions of property, plant and equipment of approximately HK$2.5 million during FY2019.

Contract assets and contract liabilities

As at 31 March 2019, contract assets increased by approximately HK$0.3 million or 37.5% from approximately HK$0.8 million (as a result of the adoption of HKFRS 15 ‘‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’’ (‘‘HKFRS 15’’) on 1 April 2018) to HK$1.1

million; contract liabilities increased by approximately HK$8.9 million or 5.9 times from approximately HK$1.5 million (as a result of the adoption of HKFRS 15 on 1 April 2018) to approximately HK$10.4 million. The increase in contract assets was mainly due to more unbilled revenue during FY2019 while the increase in contract liabilities was mainly attributable to more payments received from the Target Group’s customers before the Target Group recognises the related revenue, in particular to financial printing services for IPO projects. Please refer to note 12 of the Accountants’ Report of the Target Group in Appendix II to this Circular for details.

Trade receivables

Trade receivables mainly related to outstanding amounts to be settled by the Target Group’s customers in relation to commercial and financial printing services. As at 31 March 2018 and 2019, the balance amounted to approximately HK$3.1 million and HK$7.1 million, respectively. The increase of approximately HK$4.0 million or 1.3 times was in line with the increase in the number of projects in FY2019 as compared to that of FY2018. The Target Group normally allows an average credit period of 30 days to its customer.

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables mainly related outstanding amounts payable to translation and printing service providers. The balance increased by approximately HK$1.0 million or 14.3% from approximately HK7.0 million as at 31 March 2018 to approximately HK$8.0 million as at 31 March 2019. Such increase was mainly due to the increase in translation, printing and production expenses.

Amount due to a shareholder

As at 31 March 2018 and 2019, the amount due to a shareholder was unsecured, interest-free and repayable on demand.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE, LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES

The Target Group’s share capital of 50,000 shares issued ordinary shares and were fully paid at each of 31 March 2018 and 2019. There were no changes in the capital structure of the Target Group and the Target generally financed its operations with shareholder loans and internally generated cash flows.

As at 31 March 2018 and 2019, the Target Group has net current liabilities of approximately HK$21.0 million and HK$41.9 million, respectively, the Target Group manages its liquidity risk by fund advance from a director and ensuring sufficient liquid cash to meet the Target Group’s liquidity requirements in the short and long term. The Target Group’s director has undertaken to provide adequate funds to enable the Target Group to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due in the foreseeable future and not to demand for repayment of the balances due from the Target Group within the next twelve months from the end of the reporting period.

  1. The amounts are extracted from the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019 set out in the published interim report of the Group.

  2. The amounts are extracted from the Accountants’ report on the Target Group as set out in Appendix II to this circular.

  3. Pursuant to the placing agreement dated 9 September 2019 entered between the Company and Topper Dragon Securities Limited as placing agent for the placing of an aggregate of 660,000,000 shares at a price of HK$0.028 to HK$0.031 per share (the ‘‘Placing Share’’). The minimum net proceeds from the placing will amount to approximately HK$18,000,000.

  4. The adjustment represents the recognition of gain on bargain purchase of approximately HK$353,000 arising on the Acquisition of 75% equity interests in the Target Group and is calculated as follows:

  • (i) Pursuant to the Agreement, the Group would acquire 75% equity interest of the Target Group for a consideration of HK$2,000,000, which shall be paid in cash that is financed by part of the net proceeds from the Placing.

  • (ii) For the illustrative purpose of this unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group, the directors of the Company had assumed that the fair values of the assets and liabilities of the Target Group to be their respective carrying values at 31 March 2019. In the opinion of the directors of the Company, the Target Group’ fair values of the assets and liabilities being acquired are subject to changes upon completion of the Acquisition because the fair values of the assets and liabilities being acquired shall be assessed on the date of the completion. The possible changes to fair values of the assets and liabilities of the Target Group being acquired were not reflected in the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group, and accordingly, the goodwill so calculated, if any, may be materially different from that in the calculation above.

  • (iii) Pursuant to the Agreement, Ms. Woo Lan Mei, an Independent Third Party who holds the entire issued share capital of the Target Company (the ‘‘Vendor’’) has agreed to waive the amount of financial assistance that she provided to the Target Group of approximately HK$32,961,000 up to 31 March 2019 upon the Acquisition Completion.

Dear Sirs or Madams,

RE: VALUATION OF 75% EQUITY INTEREST IN SOLOMON HOLDINGS GROUP LIMITED

We have been instructed by Jete Power Holdings Limited (the ‘‘Company’’, together with its subsidiaries as the ‘‘Group’’) to perform an appraisal of the fair value of a 75% equity interest in the business enterprise of Solomon Holdings Group Limited (the ‘‘Target Company’’ and together with its subsidiary as the ‘‘Target Group’’) as at 31 July 2019 (the ‘‘Appraisal Date’’) for transaction purpose and our valuation will also be used in connection with a public document of the Company.

The Target Company is principally engaged in investment holding and Solomon Financial Press Limited (‘‘Solomon Financial’’) which is its directly wholly-owned subsidiary is principally engaged in the provision of financial printing services in Hong Kong.

In this appraisal, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The fair value of the equity interest in the Target Group is principally derived by the application of the Guideline Publicly-traded Comparable Method (the ‘‘GPTC Method’’) under the market approach. Our opinion of value relies on a going-concern premise. This premise assumes that the Target Group is an ongoing business enterprise with management operating in a rational way with a goal of maximising shareholder value.

VALUATION REPORT

Competition and Challenges

Based on our discussion with the Target Company, there are approximately 20 financial printers in Hong Kong with various size of operations, some of them locally based and while others are branches of international operations. Nevertheless, the key barrier to entry is the relationship with customers as customers focus on the reliability and quality of services. Therefore, the challenge for financial printers is to attract capable personnel in typesetting, translation, design and customer services. Moreover, financial printers tend to be located in high-end commercial buildings around the Central area. Financial printers therefore compete for office space sufficient for their size of operations.

While customers may engage one or more financial printers to produce various documents during a financial year, the group of financial printers the customer engages tends to be stable over the years, allowing financial printers to cultivate long term and stable business relationships once the customer engagement begins.

While listed companies in Hong Kong are required by listing rules to publish certain routine documents such as results announcements, annual reports and interim reports, customer demand for documents related to corporate actions such as debt offerings, merger and acquisitions, corporate takeovers, share placements is highly dependent on market activity and sentiments. Similarly, demand for publishing IPO prospectus is also dependent on the market and investment factors which are out of control of the Target Group. Demand for these documents are difficult to anticipate and manage financial printing industry is in a passive position as to revenue from documents related to one-off transactions.

X. VALUATION METHODOLOGY

Overview of the Three Main Valuation Approaches

In this valuation, we have considered the three generally recognised valuation approaches, namely the (i) market approach, (ii) income approach and (iii) cost approach. The approach or approaches deemed most relevant will then be selected for use.

(i) Market Approach

The market approach provides an indication of value by comparing the asset with identical or comparable (that is similar) assets for which price information is available. Third-party transactions in the equity of an enterprise generally represent the best estimate of fair value if they are done at arm’s length.

In using transactions from similar enterprises, there are two primary methods. The first, often referred to as the Comparable Transactions Method, involves determining valuation multiples from sales of enterprises with similar financial and operating characteristics and applying those multiples to the subject enterprise. The second, often referred to as the Guideline Publicly-traded Comparable Method (the

– V-9 –

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX V

‘‘GPTC Method’’), involves identifying and selecting publicly-traded enterprises with financial and operating characteristics similar to the enterprise being valued. Once publicly traded enterprises are identified, valuation multiples can be derived, adjusted for comparability, and then applied to the subject enterprise to estimate the value of its equity or enterprise value.

(ii) Income Approach

The income approach provides an indication of value by converting future cash flow to a single current value. Under the income approach, the value of an asset/the business entity is determined by reference to the value of income, cash flow or cost savings generated by the asset/the business entity. A fundamental basis for the income approach is that investors expect to receive a return on their investments and that such a return should reflect the perceived level of risk in the investment. A commonly used methodology under the income approach is a discounted cash flow analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis involves forecasting the appropriate cash flow stream over an appropriate period and then discounting it back to a present value at an appropriate discount rate. This discount rate should consider the time value of money, inflation, and the risk inherent in ownership of the asset or security interest being valued.

(iii) Cost Approach

The cost approach provides an indication of value using the economic principle that a buyer will pay no more for an asset than the cost to obtain an asset of equal utility, whether by purchase or by construction, unless undue time, inconvenience, risk or other factors are involved. The approach provides an indication of value by calculating the current replacement or reproduction cost of an asset and making deductions for physical deterioration and all other relevant forms of obsolescence.

Selection of Valuation Approach

The valuation approach is determined based on professional judgment and technical expertise after detailed analysis on facts and circumstances. Key factors we have considered include, among other criteria, the quantity and quality of the information provided, access to available data, supply of relevant market transactions, type and nature of the subject asset, purpose and objective of the valuation.

Given the nature and current development stage of the business operations of the Target Group and the availability of market information, it is considered that the GPTC Method under the market approach is the most optimal method for this valuation. Both the cost approach and the income approach have been disclaimed and have also not been engaged as secondary approach to cross-check the valuation results derived from the market approach.

– V-10 –

APPENDIX V

VALUATION REPORT

Under the cost approach, the fair value of equity interest is determined based on the replacement costs or reproduction costs of assets rather than the ability to generate streams of benefits in the future. The value of a service company like the Target Group is more driven by the future earnings to be generated than the value of its assets. The Target Group has been developing its own brand, its business networks and customer relationship with its clients. These are the unidentifiable intangible assets that exist in the business but not capitalised. Therefore, the cost approach has been disclaimed.

For the income approach, the fair value of equity interest can be determined by the discounted cash flow analysis which relies on explicit financial forecasts which require many assumptions, including but not limiting to number of customers, product and service pricing, operating costs and their growth rates over the projection period. The financial printing business has relatively high operating leverage. The operations are relatively labour intensive and generally located in high-end commercial buildings, staff costs and rentals are then the major fixed operating costs. As it started business in mid-2017 and the business of commercial financial printing is subject to seasonal factors and market activity and sentiments, the Target Group requires time to expand its customer bases and revenue sources. Despite the fact that a business plan has been prepared by the Management, given the uncertainty involved, it is difficult to form a reliable basis for estimating various projection inputs. In the absence of reliable business projection, the income approach is considered to be not a reliable valuation approach for valuing the equity interest in the Target Group and has been disclaimed.

The market approach is simple to understand and employs more observable and comparable market data. In addition, the business model of a financial printing services provider is relatively straight-forward. With a reasonable number of publicly traded companies available in the market, we conclude that the GPTC Method is the most appropriate method for this valuation.

Guideline Publicly-traded Comparable Method

In the GPTC method, the fair value is based on prices at which stocks of similar companies are trading in a public market. A ‘‘value measure’’ is usually a multiple computed by dividing the price of the guideline company’s stock as at the valuation date by some relevant economic variable observed or calculated from the guideline company’s financial statements.

Selection of Comparable Companies

A major requirement in applying the GPTC method is to identify companies that are comparable to the subject company in terms of business nature and associated risks. We have selected comparable companies we think fit for this valuation primarily based on the following criteria: (1) principally engaged in similar business (i.e. over 80% revenue is generating from the provision of financial printing services); (2) the principal activities are based in Hong Kong, and (3) listed on the Stock Exchange for not less than 12 months.

APPENDIX V

VALUATION REPORT

Based on the above criteria, we have conducted a comprehensive research and came up with below exhaustive list of four comparable companies (the ‘‘Comparable Companies’’). The Comparable Companies are considered as highly but not perfectly comparable with the Target Group in terms of capital structure, operating scale, product mix and business performance metrics. Nevertheless, the Comparable Companies are Hong-Kong based and have a majority of revenue (i.e. over 80% of revenue) contributed by the financial printing business. The inclusion of four Comparable Companies also accommodates the fact of not perfectly comparable business. As such, the below list of comparable companies is considered as fair and representative for the purpose of this valuation. A description of their business operation is summarized below:

VALUATION REPORT

Market Multiple

In applying the GPTC method, different value measures or market multiples of the comparable companies are calculated and analysed to induce a series of multiples that are considered representative of the industry average. Then, we applied the relevant industry multiples to the subject company to determine a value for the subject company that is on a freely-traded basis.

Three commonly used price multiples are (i) Price-to-earnings (‘‘P/E’’) ratio; (ii) Price-to-revenue (‘‘P/R’’) ratio; and (iii) Price-to-book value (‘‘P/B’’) ratio.

The pre-requisite for the P/E ratio is being profit-making. Despite the improvement in its financial performance noted in the four months ended 31 July 2019, the Target Group remains to be loss-making in the trailing 12-month period from 1 August 2018 to 31 July 2019. Thus, the P/E ratio is considered as not appropriate.

The revenue of the Target Group has been increasing rapidly. However, there is limited information on when the operations of the Target Group will become profitable and the extent of its potential for growth. Revenue is valuable only if, at some point, it can be translated into earnings. Since a strong linkage between revenue and profitability has not yet well established in the case of the Target Group, the P/R ratio is also considered as not appropriate for this valuation.

P/B ratio provides a direct comparison of a company’s market price to its book value. It is a valuable reality check for investors seeking growth at a reasonable price. P/B is often looked at in conjunction with return on equity, a reliable growth indicator. Thus, P/B ratio is selected.

Based on the latest publicly available financial information of the Comparable Companies and their market capitalisation, the P/B ratio of the Comparable Companies as at the Appraisal Date are summarised as follows:

Book Value attributable to
Owners of the Subject
Company based on the Latest
Market capitalisation Available Financial

APPENDIX V

VALUATION REPORT

Notes:

  1. The market capitalisation was based on the last price as at the Appraisal Date and extracted from the Bloomberg terminal.

  2. The book values of REF and HMI were extracted from their interim reports 2019 for the six months ended on 30 June 2019. The book value of EDICO was extracted from its third quarterly report 2018/2019 for the nine months ended 30 June 2019. The book value of the A.Plus was extracted from its annual report 2018/19 for the year ended 31 March 2019.

In view of the corporate actions taken place and its outstanding performance in its latest financial year, A.Plus is considered as an outliner and excluded in our list of the Comparable Companies. Given that there are three Comparable Companies remaining, the average P/B ratio is selected for this valuation.

After taking into of the proposed waiver of the Financial Assistance upon completion of the Acquisition, the fair value of a 100% equity interest in the Target Group before valuation premium and discount can be estimated as follows:

HK$
Net Liabilities of the Target Group as at the Appraisal Date (29,220,000)
Add: Amount of the Financial Assistance 32,961,000
Adjusted Net Book Value of the Target Group as at the Appraisal
Date 3,741,000
Multiplied by the average P/B of the Comparable Companies 0.73x
Indicated Value of a 100% Non-controlling, Marketable Equity
Interest 2,731,000

The GPTC Method generally yields valuation information at the non-controlling, marketable level of value. The above indicated value is then subject to the adjustments for the control premium and the discount for lack of marketability in order to derive the fair value of the controlling, non-marketable equity interest in the Target Group.

Valuation Premium and Discounts

Control Premium

It is widely recognized that an investment which offers an investor control of a business is worth more than a minority stake. In valuation perspective, a shareholder with majority stake normally owns the control power in a company, and thus, a control premium is generally recognized. In contrast, a minority discount is recognized when the holder of a minority interest lacks control over corporate policies like election of directors or selection of management, acquisition or liquidation of assets, control over dividend policy, ability to set corporate strategies, ability to affect future earnings, etc.

– V-15 –

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX V

According to the Control Premium Study for the 2nd Quarter 2018 published by FactSet Mergerstat, LLC, the range of control premium for the printing, publishing and allied industries sector was between 4.5% to 72.5% with average of 32.9% and median of 27.2% (excluding negative premiums). Such range is concurred with our findings on other relevant research papers (both formal and informal) and valuation journals on valuation premiums and discounts which are publicly available.

Considering the size of the subject sales shares, the capital structure and the business model of the Target Group, we consider that a 25.0% control premium is appropriate in this valuation.

Discount for Lack of Marketability

The concept of marketability deals with the liquidity of an ownership interest, that is, how quickly and easily it can be converted to cash if the owner chooses to sell. The discount for lack of marketability reflects the fact that there is no ready market for shares in a closely held corporation. Ownership interests in closely held companies are typically not readily marketable compared to similar interests in public companies. Therefore, a share of stock in a privately held company is usually worth less than an otherwise comparable share in a publicly held company.

The discount for lack of marketability generally falls into a range from 0% to 40.0% with an average of 20.7% and a median of 15.8%, according to the Stout Restricted Stock Study Company Guide published by Stout Risins Ross LLC. Such range is concurred with our findings on other relevant research papers (both formal and informal) and valuation journals on valuation premiums and discounts which are publicly available.

The shares of the Target Group are not publicly traded and an active market for its shares does not exist. Lack of profitable track records decreases the liquidity of its equity interest. In view of the market range of marketability discount, we conclude that it is reasonable to apply a 15.0% discount to appraise the value of equity interest of a private company like the Target Group.

XI. VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

A number of assumptions have to be established in order to sufficiently support our opinion of value. The major assumptions adopted in this appraisal are:

  1. There will be no major changes in the existing political, legal, fiscal and economic conditions in which the Target Group carries on its business;

  2. There will be no major changes in the current taxation law in the country where the Target Group operates, that the rates of tax payable will remain unchanged and that all applicable laws and regulations will be complied with;

  3. There will be no material changes in the industry in which the Target Group involves that would materially affect the revenues, profits, cash flows attributable to the Target Group;

  4. The Target Group and/or its partners will obtain the necessary licenses and approvals to provide its service;

  5. Exchange rates and interest rates will not differ materially from those presently prevailing;

  6. The availability of finance will not be a constraint on the forecasted growth of operations of the Target Group;

  7. The Target Group will successfully maintain its competitiveness and market share through optimising the utilization of its resources and expanding its marketing network;

– V-17 –

APPENDIX V

VALUATION REPORT

  1. The Target Group can keep abreast of the latest development of the industry such that its competitiveness and profitability can be sustained;

  2. The Target Group will utilise and maintain its current operational, administrative and technical facilities to expand and increase its sales;

  3. The Target Group will be able to secure funds to repay its debts when they fall due;

  4. The Target Group will retain and have competent management, key personnel, and technical staff to support its ongoing operations;

  5. Industry trends and market conditions for related industries will not deviate materially from economic forecasts;

  6. The Target Group has no material contingent liability as at the Appraisal Date; and

  7. The Financial Assistance has been fully waived as at the Appraisal Date.

XII. OPINION OF VALUE

Based upon the investigation and analysis outlined above and the appraisal method employed, it is our opinion that the fair value of a 75% equity interest in the Target Group as at 31 July 2019 is reasonably stated by the amount of HONG KONG DOLLARS TWO MILLION ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIX THOUSAND ONLY (HK$2,176,000).

This opinion of value has been based on generally accepted valuation procedures and practices that rely extensively on the use of numerous assumptions and the consideration of many uncertainties, not all of which can be easily quantified or ascertained. Any variation to the assumptions and limiting conditions presented in the following report could seriously affect our opinion of value.

Although our valuation is intended to estimate fair value, we assume no responsibility for the inability of a seller or buyer to obtain a sale or purchase contract at that price.

We have no obligation to update this report or our opinion of value for information that comes to our attention after the date of this report.
