The Consideration was arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between the Vendors and the Purchaser, having taken into account the valuation of the Operating Group of approximately HK$90,600,000 as at 31 May 2020 pursuant to the Valuation Report, as well as the future prospect of the business of the Target Group.
The Consideration shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Vendors in the following two installments (subject to the fulfillment of the Profit Guarantee) by procurement of the Company to allot and issue the Consideration Shares to the Vendors as follows:
-
(i) HK$56,060,000, being the first installment of the Consideration (the “ First Consideration ”), shall be paid by way of allotment of 85,800,000 First Consideration Shares to the Vendors within seven Business Days after the Completion Date; and

In the event that the 2020 Profit is less than the Minimum Profit, no such Final Consideration or Final Consideration Shares shall be paid or allotted by the Purchaser to the Vendors.
The Consideration has been arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the parties to the Agreement with reference to the valuation of 100% equity interests in the Operating Group prepared by the Valuer of approximately HK$90,600,000 as at 31 May 2020 (the “ Valuation ”).

The Valuation is comprised of (1) market equity interests of a property under construction held by the Operating Group of HK$38,780,000 as at 31 May 2020, and (2) equity value of the home decoration and distribution business conducted by the Operating Group of HK$51,837,109 under the discounted cashflow approach as at 31 May 2020. Further details of the Valuation are set out in the section headed “Profit Forecast Requirement under the Listing Rules” below.

For the First Consideration of HK$56,060,000, it represents a discount of approximately 38.12% to the entire equity interests of the Target Group under the Valuation.

The Final Consideration is calculated by subtracting the First Consideration from the Consideration.
Taking into account the above, the Directors consider that the Consideration is fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms or better and the entering into of the Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

REASONS AND BENEFITS FOR ENTERING INTO THE AGREEMENT

The Group has been actively considering and exploring various opportunities for investment projects and to broaden the scope of investment according to the market conditions with an aim to enhance the Shareholders’ value.
12
In light of the above, the Directors have assessed the entering into the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and considered that the Company intends to further expand its sale and distribution of merchandise and provision of interior design and engineering business segments for enhanced profitability. Therefore, the Directors consider that the potential acquisition of the Target Group, which is principally engaged in home decoration and distribution business, could represent a viable business opportunity to step forward in strengthening and to further expand the Group’s existing business segments.

PROFIT FORECAST REQUIREMENT UNDER THE LISTING RULES
According to the Valuation Report, the Valuation in respect of the equity value of the home decoration and distribution business conducted by the Operating Group of HK$51,837,109 was based on the discounted future estimated cash flows method approach (income approach). Since the Valuation was based on a discounted future estimated cash flow approach, the Valuation constitutes a profit forecast for the purpose of Rule 14.61 of the Listing Rules and, accordingly, the requirements under Rules 14.60A and 14.62 of the Listing Rules are applicable to the Acquisition.
The details of the principal assumptions upon which the Valuation is based are as follows:
-
a) The current financial, economic, taxation, market and political conditions which prevail in the regions in which the Operating Group utilises will have no material change;
-
b) Inflation and interest rates will have no material change from the rates prevailing as at 31 May 2020;
-
c) The market conditions in which the Operating Group operates, which are material to revenue and costs of the businesses will have no material change;
13
-
d) The current company legislation will have no material change;
-
e) Competent management, key personnel and technical staff will be maintained to support the ongoing operation of the Operating Group; and
-
f) The basic and financial information regarding the Operating Group provided to the Valuer is true, accurate and complete.
The Board has reviewed the principal assumptions upon which the profit forecast was based on and are of the view that the profit forecast was made after due care and enquiry.

Our work has been undertaken for the purpose of reporting solely to you under paragraph 14.62(2) of the Listing Rules and for no other purpose. We accept no responsibility to any other person in respect of our work, or arising out of or in connection with our work.
