As at the Latest Practicable Date, conditions precedent (1) and (2) as mentioned above have been satisfied. In respect of condition precedent (3) as mentioned above, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the directors appointed by the Vendor to the board of directors of Genesis Ningbo has tendered their resignation letters and the relevant filing procedures with the relevant government authorities have commenced.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Treatment of Shareholder’s Loan and Other Indebtedness between the Vendor and the Genesis Group
At Completion, Lee Kee HK, the Vendor and Genesis BVI, Genesis HK or Genesis Ningbo (where applicable) will enter into:
-
(1) the Deed of Assignment of Indebtedness, pursuant to which the Vendor has agreed to assign to Lee Kee HK absolutely all its rights, benefits and interests in the Shareholder’s Loan and Other Indebtedness at a consideration of US$1.00; and
-
(2) the Deed of Novation, pursuant to which the Vendor has agreed to novate to Lee Kee HK the Outstanding Debt such that at Completion the Vendor be discharged and released from all payment obligations under or in respect of the Outstanding Debt.
The total consideration for the Proposed Acquisition and the assignment of the Shareholder’s Loan and Other Indebtedness, being US$650,000, was arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between Lee Kee HK and the Vendor. Pursuant to a shareholders’ agreement between Lee Kee HK and the Vendor in relation to Genesis BVI, Lee Kee HK has a pre-emptive right to require the Vendor to sell its shares to Lee Kee HK before the Vendor could transfer its shares to third parties. As far as the Company is aware, the Vendor is eager to exit its participation in the Genesis Group (the “ Exit ”) as soon as possible. The options available to the Vendor for the Exit are either to liquidate Genesis BVI which is a lengthy process or to sell its shares in Genesis BVI. In view of such background and the pre-emptive right granted to Lee Kee HK pursuant to the shareholders’ agreement, Lee Kee HK started the negotiation for the Proposed Acquisition with the Vendor by offering a mutually acceptable price which was gradually adjusted to the final price of US$650,000 (equivalent to 70% discount to a 50% share of the total assets less current liabilities which amounted to approximately HK$35,017,000 of the Genesis Group as at 31st December 2013).
3 REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION
The Company believes that the Genesis Group with its production of zinc alloy in Ningbo, the PRC would maximize the synergy within the Group and enhance the supply chain and logistics hub in the Eastern China region with the Group’s existing Wuxi sales and distribution centre. The Genesis Group will also strengthen the Group’s own brand production capability.
The Directors believe that the terms of the Agreement for Sale and Purchase and the Deed of Assignment of Indebtedness are fair and reasonable to the Group and are in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
4 INFORMATION ON THE VENDOR
The Directors are informed that the Vendor is a limited liability company incorporated in the Netherlands. The holding company of the Vendor, Nyrstar NV, is a company listed on NYSE Euronext Brussels under the symbol NYR. Nyrstar NV is an integrated mining and metals business, with market leading positions in zinc and lead, and growing positions in other base and precious metals. Nyrstar NV has mining, smelting, and other operations located in Europe, the Americas, China and Australia. Nyrstar NV is incorporated in Belgium and has its corporate office in Switzerland.
5 INFORMATION ON THE GROUP AND GENESIS BVI
The Group principally engages in the business of processing, sourcing and distribution of nonferrous metals, primarily zinc alloy and zinc, nickel and nickel-related products, aluminium alloy and aluminium, stainless steel and other electroplating chemicals. The Group also provides related value-added and ancillary services from procurement of raw metal materials to after-sales services.
Genesis BVI principally engages in the processing, production and sale of zinc alloy through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary in the PRC, Genesis Ningbo. As at the date of this circular, Genesis BVI has an authorised share capital of US$2,100,000 divided into 892,500 A shares, 315,000 B shares and 892,500 C shares of US$1.00 each. The shareholders of Genesis BVI are (1) Lee Kee HK, holding 892,500 A shares and 157,500 B shares; and (2) the Vendor, holding 157,500 B shares and 892,500 C shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Board noted that in the opinion of Mazars CPA Limited, the reporting accountant of Genesis BVI, without qualifying its opinion, has stated in their report an emphasis of matter in relation to the capital deficiency of the Genesis Group in an amount of approximately HK$19,845,000 as at 31st March 2014 which may cast significant doubt on its ability to continue as a going concern. Please refer to Appendix II to this circular for further details. The Board wishes to emphasise that the total assets less current liabilities of the Genesis Group as at 31st March 2014 amounted to approximately HK$34,418,000. The Genesis Group only recorded a capital deficiency if shareholders’ loan in the amount of approximately HK$54,263,000 is taken into consideration. Upon Completion, the entire sum of shareholders’ loan will be owed by the Genesis Group to Lee Kee HK. Based on the current business and operation of the Genesis Group, the Directors are of the view that the Genesis Group is able to self-maintain. Therefore, the Group does not have any current intention to call the shareholders’ loan that will have negative impact to the Genesis Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Proposed Acquisition will not only bring synergy to the Group’s existing operations and production capabilities but will also strengthen the Group’s supply chain in Eastern China. Therefore, the Board believes that the Proposed Acquisition will benefit the Enlarged Group as a whole.
Genesis BVI is owned as to 50% by Lee Kee HK and 50% by the Vendor and is treated as a joint venture of the Company immediately before the completion of the Proposed Acquisition. Upon Completion, Genesis BVI will be an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiry, the Vendor and its ultimate beneficial owner are third parties independent of the Company and connected persons of the Company.
6 FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION
Upon Completion, the Genesis Group will become the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the financial results of the Genesis Group will be consolidated into the financial statements of the Group. In addition, after the Completion, the Proposed Acquisition will bring a total gain of approximately HK$13 million to the Group.
Earnings
For the fifteen months ended 31st March 2014, the Group recorded audited consolidated profit of HK$3,868,000. Meanwhile the Genesis Group recorded audited consolidated profits of HK$1,503,000 and HK$388,000 for the year ended 31st December 2013 and the three months period ended 31st March 2014 respectively. Hence, the Directors consider that the Genesis Group will contribute positively to the revenue and earnings base of the Enlarged Group.
The unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared for illustrative purpose only, based on the judgements and assumptions of the Directors, and, because of its hypothetical nature, it may not reflect the true financial position of the Enlarged Group as at the date of Completion or any future date. Moreover, since the fair values and carrying amounts of the identifiable net assets of the Genesis Group as at the date of Completion may be materially different from their respective values used in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma financial information, the actual amounts of the assets, liabilities and negative goodwill/goodwill to be recorded in the consolidated financial statements of the Group upon Completion may be materially different from the estimated amounts shown in Appendix IV to this circular.
– 10 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Assets
As at 31st March 2014, the audited consolidated total assets of the Group amounted to HK$1,390,217,000.
As set out in Appendix IV to this circular, assuming completion of the Proposed Acquisition had taken place on 31st March 2014, the unaudited pro forma consolidated total assets of the Enlarged Group would be approximately HK$1,391,900,000.
Liabilities
As at 31st March 2014, the audited consolidated total liabilities of the Group amounted to approximately HK$268,720,000.
As set out in Appendix IV to this circular, assuming the completion of the Proposed Acquisition had taken place on 31st March 2014, the unaudited pro forma consolidated total liabilities of the Enlarged Group would be approximately HK$258,412,000.
7 LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As certain percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Proposed Acquisition are more than 25% while all applicable percentage ratios are less than 100%, the Proposed Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company and is subject to the Shareholders’ approval requirement under the Listing Rules.
To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, as at the Latest Practicable Date, no Shareholder had a material interest in the Proposed Acquisition, and therefore no Shareholder would be required to abstain from voting on the proposed resolution(s) to approve the Agreement for Sale and Purchase and the transactions contemplated thereunder in a general meeting of the Shareholders. Accordingly, the Company has obtained written Shareholder’s approval for the Proposed Acquisition from Gold Alliance, in lieu of holding an extraordinary general meeting. Gold Alliance is, as at the Latest Practicable Date, interested in approximately 72.40% of the issued share capital of the Company.
8 ADDITIONAL MATTERS
Your attention is drawn to the information set out in the appendices to this circular.

– II-2 –
APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE GENESIS GROUP
Without qualifying our report, we draw your attention to Note 2 of Section B below which indicates that Genesis Group had capital deficiency of HK$19,845,000 as at 31st March 2014. This matter, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2 below, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on Genesis Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has confirmed its intention to make available adequate funds to Genesis Group as and when required to maintain Genesis Group as a going concern.
CORRESPONDING FINANCIAL INFORMATION
For the purpose of this report, we have also reviewed the unaudited corresponding financial information of Genesis Group comprising the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended 31st March 2013, together with the notes thereon (the “ Corresponding Financial Information ”), for which the directors of Genesis BVI are responsible, in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagement 2410 “ Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity ” issued by the HKICPA.
The directors of Genesis BVI are responsible for the preparation of the Corresponding Financial Information in accordance with the same basis adopted in respect of the Financial Information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Corresponding Financial Information based on our review.
A review consists of making enquires, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the Corresponding Financial Information.
Based on our review, for the purpose of this report, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Corresponding Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the same basis adopted in respect of the Financial Information.

APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE GENESIS GROUP
B. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF GENESIS GROUP
1. CORPORATE INFORMATION
Genesis Recycling Technology (BVI) Limited (“ Genesis BVI ”) is a limited liability company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on 12th February 2001. The Company’s principal place of business is located at 16 Dai Fat Street, Tai Po Industrial Estate, N.T, Hong Kong. The principal activity of the Company is investment holding and the subsidiaries are mainly engaged in manufacturing and trading of alloy products.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The Financial Information set out in this report has been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“ HKFRSs ”), which collective term includes all applicable 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 Financial Information also complies with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Listing Rules ”).
The HKICPA has issued a number of new and revised HKFRSs during the Relevant Periods. For the purpose of preparing the Financial Information, Genesis Group has throughout the Relevant Periods consistently adopted all applicable new and revised HKFRSs that are relevant to Genesis Group and are effective for the Relevant Periods.
A summary of the principal accounting policies adopted by Genesis Group in the preparation of the Financial Information is set out below.
Going concern
The Financial Information has been prepared in conformity with the principles applicable to a going concern basis. The applicability of these principles is dependent upon continued availability of adequate finance or attaining profitable operations in the future in view of the excess of liabilities over assets. The directors of Genesis BVI are aware that, due to the above conditions, a material uncertainty exists which may cast doubt upon Genesis Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, the directors of Genesis BVI are of the opinion that there is a reasonable expectation that Genesis Group will be able to continue as going concerns on the basis that the Company has confirmed its intention to make available adequate funds to Genesis Group as and when required to maintain Genesis Group as a going concern.
Basis of measurement
The measurement basis used in the preparation of the Financial Information is historical
cost.
Basis of consolidation
The Financial Information comprises the financial statements of Genesis BVI and all of its subsidiaries. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as that of Genesis BVI using consistent accounting policies.
All intra-group balances, transactions, incomes and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full. The results of subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which Genesis Group obtains control and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceased.
– II-9 –
APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE GENESIS GROUP
Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by Genesis Group. Genesis 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. Genesis Group reassesses whether it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the elements of control.
In Genesis BVI’s statement of financial position, the investment in subsidiaries is stated at cost less impairment losses. The carrying amount of the investment is reduced to its recoverable amount on an individual basis. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by Genesis BVI on the basis of dividends received and receivable.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit or loss during the year in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost less accumulated impairment losses of property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives as set out below from the date on which they are available for use and after taking into account their estimated residual values, using the straight-line method, at the following rates per annum:
Buildings 5% Plant and machinery 10% – 20% Office equipment 20% Motor vehicles 20%
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in profit or loss in the period in which the item is derecognised.
Prepaid lease payments
Prepaid lease payments are up-front payments to acquire fixed-term interests in lessee-occupied land. The premiums are stated at cost and are amortised over the period of the lease on a straight-line basis to profit or loss.
Impairment of non-financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, Genesis Group reviews internal and external sources of information to assess whether there is any indication that its property, plant and equipment may be impaired or impairment loss previously recognised no longer exists or may be reduced. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated, based on the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, Genesis Group estimates the recoverable amount of the smallest group of assets that generates cash flows independently (i.e. cash-generating unit).
If the recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised as an expense immediately.
A reversal of impairment loss is limited to the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. Reversal of impairment loss is recognised as income in profit or loss immediately.
– II-10 –
APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE GENESIS GROUP
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost, which comprises all costs of purchase and, where applicable, cost of conversion and other costs that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition, is calculated using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Financial instruments
Recognition and derecognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when and only when Genesis Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments and on a trade date basis.
A financial asset is derecognised when and only when (i) Genesis Group’s contractual rights to future cash flows from the financial asset expire or (ii) Genesis Group transfers the financial asset and either (a) Genesis Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or (b) Genesis Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset but it does not retain control of the financial asset.
A financial liability is derecognised when and only when the liability is extinguished, that is, when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Classification and measurement
Financial assets or financial liabilities are initially recognised at their fair value plus, in the case of financial assets or financial liabilities not carried at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are direct attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial assets or financial liabilities.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables including trade and other receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are not held for trading. They are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, except where receivables are interest-free loans and without any fixed repayment term or the effect of discounting would be insignificant. In such case, the receivables are stated at cost less impairment loss. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition over the period to maturity. Gains and losses arising from derecognition, impairment or through the amortisation process are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
Genesis Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, bank borrowings and loan from shareholders. All financial liabilities except for derivatives are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method, unless the effect of discounting would be insignificant, in which case they are stated at cost.
Impairment of financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, Genesis Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that financial assets, other than those at fair value through profit or loss, are impaired. The impairment loss of financial assets carried at amortised cost is measured as the difference between the assets’ carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flow discounted at the financial assets’ original effective interest rate. Such impairment loss is reversed in subsequent periods through profit or loss when an increase in the asset’s recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to a restriction that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
– II-11 –
APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE GENESIS GROUP
Cash equivalents
For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash equivalents represent short-term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, net of bank overdrafts.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to Genesis Group and when the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably and on the following bases.
Sale of goods is recognised on transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered to customers and title is passed.
Interest income from financial asset is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable.
Foreign currency translation
Items included in the Financial Information of each of Genesis Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “ functional currency ”). The Financial Information is presented in the currency of Hong Kong dollars (“ HK$ ”), which is Genesis BVI’s functional currency.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
The results and financial position of all the group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency (“ foreign operations ”) are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the end of the reporting period;
-
Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rate;
-
All resulting exchange differences arising from the above translation and exchange differences arising from a monetary item that forms part of Genesis Group’s net investment in a foreign operation are recognised as a separate component of equity.
-
On the disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences deferred in the separate component of equity relating to that foreign operation is recognised in profit or loss when the gain or loss on disposal is recognised.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs incurred, net of any investment income on the temporary investment of the specific borrowings, that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, i.e. assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
– II-12 –
APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE GENESIS GROUP
Employee benefits
Defined contribution plan
The obligations for contributions to defined contribution retirement scheme are recognised as an expense in profit or loss as incurred. The scheme is provided for based on total actual salaries and wages payable to Chinese employees in accordance with the Regulations for Provision of Various Employee Funds and Allowances issued by the relevant Finance Bureau and the Labour and Social Security Bureau in Mainland China. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of Genesis Group in an independently administered fund.
Leases
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
As lessee
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
Taxation
The charge for current income tax is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items that are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, any deferred tax arising from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business consolidation that at the time of the transaction affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss is not recognised.
The deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is recovered or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, tax losses and credits can be utilised.
Related parties
A related party is a person or entity that is related to Genesis Group.
-
(a) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to Genesis Group if that person:
-

-
(iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party.
-
(iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity.
-
(v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either Genesis Group or an entity related to Genesis Group. If Genesis Group is itself such a plan, the sponsoring employers are also related to Genesis Group.
-
(vi) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a).
-
(vii) A person identified in (a) (i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).

-
(a) that person’s children and spouse or domestic partner;
-
(b) children of that person’s spouse or domestic partner; and
-
(c) dependants of that person or that person’s spouse or domestic partner.
In the definition of a related party, an associate includes subsidiaries of the associate and a joint venture includes subsidiaries of the joint venture.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the Financial Information, are identified from the financial information provided regularly to Genesis Group’s chief operating decision makers for the purpose of allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, Genesis Group’s various lines of business and geographical locations.
Individual material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products, the nature of production processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Estimates and assumptions concerning the future and judgements are made by Genesis Group’s management in the preparation of the Financial Information. They affect the application of Genesis Group’s accounting policies, reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosures made. They are assessed on an on-going basis and are based on experience and relevant factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Where appropriate, revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period of revision and future periods, in case the revision also affects future periods.
– II-14 –
APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE GENESIS GROUP
Allowance for bad and doubtful debts
The provisioning policy for bad and doubtful debts of Genesis Group is based on the evaluation by management of the collectability of the accounts receivable. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including assessing the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each customer. If the financial conditions of these customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowance will be required.
Allowance for inventories
Genesis Group’s management reviews the condition of inventories at the end of each reporting period, and makes allowance for inventories that are identified as obsolete, slow-moving or no longer recoverable or suitable for use in production. Genesis Group carries out the inventory review on a product-by-product basis and makes allowances by reference to the latest market prices and current market conditions.
Depreciation
Genesis Group depreciates the property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives from the date on which they are available for use and after taking into consideration their estimated residual value, using straight line method. The estimated useful life reflects the directors’ estimate of the periods that Genesis Group intends to derive future economic benefits from the use of the property, plant and equipment.
Impairment of investments and receivables
Genesis Group assesses annually if investment in subsidiaries has suffered any impairment in accordance with HKAS 36 and follows the guidance of HKAS 39 in determining whether amounts due from those entities are impaired. Details of the approach are stated in the respective accounting policies. The assessment requires an estimation of future cash flows, including expected dividends, from the assets and the selection of appropriate discount rates. Future changes in financial performance and position of these entities would affect the estimation of impairment loss and cause the adjustments of their carrying amounts.

8. INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Income taxes
In respect of Genesis BVI and its subsidiary in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Profits Tax has not been provided as Genesis BVI had no assessable profits and the subsidiary in Hong Kong incurred a loss for taxation purposes for the Relevant Periods.
The income tax provision in respect of operations in the PRC is calculated at the applicable tax rate of 25% on the estimated assessable profits for the year based on existing legislation, interpretation and practices in respect thereof.
For the years ended 31st December 2011 and 2012, PRC enterprise income tax had not been provided as the subsidiary in the PRC incurred a loss for taxation purposes. PRC enterprise income tax had not been provided as the estimated assessable profits for the year ended 31st December 2013 and three months ended 31st March 2014 of the subsidiary in the PRC are wholly absorbed by unrelieved tax losses brought forward from previous years.

Unrecognised deferred tax assets arising from items analysed in gross amount as follows:

2011 HK$’000 2,149 1,262 39,453 40,715 42,864 |

|---|---|---|---|
| 1,605 15,974 |

| 17,579 | |||
| 19,466 |
The deductible temporary differences represented losses on disposal of leasehold improvement of the PRC subsidiary which have been allowed for tax deduction over 20 years since the year 2006. Genesis Group had unused tax losses incurred by the Hong Kong subsidiary which do not expire under current tax legislation in Hong Kong and the unused tax losses incurred by the PRC subsidiary can be carried forward for five years starting from the year when the loss was incurred under current PRC tax legislation, interpretation and practices. Deferred tax assets have not been recognised in respect of these items because it is not probable that sufficient future taxable profit will be available against which Genesis Group can utilise the benefits therefrom.
These unused tax losses incurred by the PRC subsidiary at each end of reporting periods will expire as follows:
| At 31st December 2013 At 31st December 2014 At 31st December 2015 At 31st December 2016 At 31st December 2017 Exchange differences |

Impairment losses in respect of trade receivables are recorded using an allowance account unless Genesis Group considered that recovery of the amount is remote, in which case the bad debt is written off against trade receivables directly. In 2012, a trade receivable of Genesis Group amounting to HK$6,849,000 was determined to be impaired. The individually impaired receivable related to customers that were in financial difficulties and management assessed that the whole amount of the receivable was not expected to be recovered. Consequently, specific allowance for doubtful debt of HK$6,849,000 was written off in 2012.
15(d). PAST DUE BUT NOT IMPAIRED TRADE RECEIVABLES
The majority of Genesis Group’s trade receivables are due upon the date of delivery of goods or 7 days after delivery of goods. At 31st December 2012 and 2013 and 31st March 2014, included in Genesis Group’s trade receivable balance are debtors with a carrying amount of HK$8,486,000, HK$8,462,000 and HK$12,875,000 respectively, which are past due for which Genesis Group has not impaired as there has not been a significant change in credit quality of the debtors and the directors of Genesis Group believe that the amounts are still considered receivable. These relate to major customers for whom there is no recent history of default. Genesis Group does not hold any collateral over these receivables.
The ageing analysis of trade receivables which are past due but not impaired is as follows:

24. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES
Genesis Group’s principal financial instruments comprise of bank balances and cash, bank borrowings and amounts due to a related company/shareholders. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise and maintain finance for Genesis Group’s operations. Genesis Group has various other financial instruments, such as trade and other receivables and payables, which arise directly from its business activities.
The main risks arising from Genesis Group’s financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Genesis Group does not have any written risk management policies and guidelines. However, the board of directors of Genesis Group generally adopts conservative strategies on Genesis Group’s risk management and limits Genesis Group’s exposure to these risks to a minimum.
Interest rate risk
Genesis Group’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to Genesis Group’s floating-rate short-term bank loan. At 31st December 2011, 2012 and 2013 and 31st March 2014, if interest rates had been 100 basic point higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, Genesis Group’s net profit/loss would increase/decrease by approximately HK$619,000, HK$252,000, HK$Nil and HK$Nil respectively. Genesis Group’s sensitivity to interest rates has decreased during the Relevant Periods mainly due to the full settlement of floating-rate short-term bank loan during the Relevant Periods.
The sensitivity analysis above has been determined assuming that the change in interest rates had occurred at the end of reporting period and had been applied to the exposure to interest rate risk for all financial instruments in existence at that date. The 100 basis point increase or decrease represents management of Genesis Group’s assessment of a reasonably possible change in interest rates over the period until the next annual end of the reporting period.
– II-30 –
APPENDIX II
ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT OF THE GENESIS GROUP
Foreign currency risk
Genesis Group is exposed to foreign currency risk primarily on the loan from shareholders. The currency giving rise to this risk is US$. Genesis Group does not hedge its foreign currency risk because the rate of exchange between HK$ and US$ is stable under current market condition and the existing currency exchange policies adopted by the Government of Hong Kong Special Administration Region.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that debtors will default on their obligations to repay the amounts due to Genesis Group, resulting in a loss to Genesis Group. The credit risk of Genesis Group is primarily attributable to trade receivables and bank balances.
The management considers the credit risk in respect of bank balances is minimal because Genesis Group’s bank balances are placed with creditworthy banks in both Hong Kong and PRC.
Genesis Group mainly trades with recognised, creditworthy third parties other than related parties. It is Genesis Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that Genesis Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.
Genesis Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate also has an influence on credit risk but to a lesser extent. At 31st December 2011, 2012 and 2013 and 31st March 2014, Genesis Group had a concentration of credit risk as 24%, 50%, 43% and 32% respectively of the total trade receivables are due from Genesis Group’s largest customer; and 79%, 65%, 80% and 93% respectively of the total trade receivables are due from Genesis Group’s five largest customers.

-
2 The balances were extracted from the audited consolidated statement of financial position of the Genesis Group as at 31st March 2014 as set out in Appendix II to this circular. The Genesis Group had a capital deficiency of HK$19,845,000 as at 31st March 2014. This matter, along with the going concern matter as stated in Appendix II to this circular, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on Genesis Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial information has been prepared in conformity with the principles applicable to a going concern basis.

3 Pursuant to the Agreement for Sale and Purchase and the Deed of Assignment of Indebtedness, the total consideration for the 50% shareholding interest in the Genesis Group and assignment of a shareholder’s loan and certain other indebtedness is in total US$650,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$5,059,000), payable by the Group on completion by way of bank remittance.
-
4 The Group has provisionally recognised a gain of HK$745,000 as a result of remeasuring at fair value its prior 50% interest in the Genesis Group. Such amount is estimated based on the aggregate fair value of net assets of the Genesis Group and the gain is mainly a result of the net fair value gain of Genesis Group’s leasehold land and property, plant and equipment, net of their deferred income tax impact.
-
5 Upon the completion of the proposed acquisition of the remaining 50% shareholding interest of the Genesis Group, the net identifiable assets of the Genesis Group will be accounted for by the Group at their fair values under the acquisition method in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 3 (Revised) “Business Combinations” (“ HKFRS 3 (Revised) ”).
For the purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the Group has appointed Ascent Partners Valuation Service Limited, an independent qualified valuer, to estimate the fair value of the major acquired assets and liabilities of the Genesis Group as at 30th June 2014 (“ Estimated Fair Value ”) in order to assist the Group to carry out the purchase price allocation exercise in accordance with HKFRS 3 (Revised). The valuation report was signed by Stephen Y. W. Yeung, MHKIS, MCREA, RPS (GP Division) on behalf of Ascent Partners Valuation Service Limited. Fair values of leasehold land and

The unaudited pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma statement of assets and liabilities as at 31st March 2014 and related notes (the “ Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information ”) as set out on pages IV-1 to IV-5 of the Company’s circular dated 22nd August 2014, in connection with the proposed acquisition of the remaining 50% shareholding interest of the Target Group, the assignment of a shareholder’s loan and certain other indebtedness of the Target Group to the Group, and the novation of certain outstanding debt of the Target Group to the Group (collectively, the “ Proposed Transactions ”) by the Company. The applicable criteria on the basis of which the directors have compiled the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information are described on pages IV-1 to IV-5.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled by the directors to illustrate the impact of the Proposed Transactions on the Group’s financial position as at 31st March 2014 as if the Proposed Transactions had taken place at 31st March 2014. As part of this process, information about the Group’s financial position has been extracted by the directors from the Group’s financial statements for the fifteen months ended 31st March 2014, on which an audit report has been published.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the unaudited pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the directors in the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:
-
The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and
-
The unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.
The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant’s judgment, having regard to the reporting accountant’s understanding of the nature of the Company, the event or transaction in respect of which the unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.
