To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

MAJOR TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO THE ACQUISITION OF THE ENTIRE ISSUED SHARE CAPITAL OF ELITE BRIGHT ASIA PACIFIC LIMITED

1. INTRODUCTION

References are made to the Announcement and the Update Announcement.

On 22 March 2017, the Purchaser, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Preliminary Agreement with the Vendors, pursuant to which the Vendors agreed to sell and assign, and the Purchaser agreed to purchase and take up the assignment of, the Sale Shares and the Sale Loans.

On 23 May 2017, the Vendors and the Purchaser entered into the Formal Agreement, which reflects the principal terms contained in the Preliminary Agreement and incorporated other terms customary to the transactions similar to the one contemplated in the Preliminary Agreement. Upon the execution of the Formal Agreement: (i) the Formal Agreement supersedes the Preliminary Agreement and any other previous agreements (whether oral or in writing) between the Vendors and the Purchaser relating to the Acquisition; and (ii) the Preliminary Agreement has been terminated in its entirety.

— 5 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As the highest applicable percentage ratio (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition is higher than 25% but less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction of the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

The Company has obtained written approval from a closely allied group of Shareholders’ which together held approximately 50.78% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, approving the Acquisition.

The purpose of this Circular is to provide you with, among other things, further information regarding the Acquisition.

2. THE FORMAL AGREEMENT

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

Date: 23 May 2017 Parties: (1) the Vendors; and (2) Perfect Way Limited, as purchaser

To the best knowledge of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, the Vendors and their respective ultimate shareholder(s) are Independent Third Parties.

Assets to be acquired

Pursuant to the Formal Agreement, each of the Vendors agreed to sell the Sale Shares set out opposite his/her respective names below and assign the benefit of the Sale Loans, and the Purchaser agreed to purchase the Sale Shares and take up the assignment of the Sale Loans:

Vendors **No. ** of Sale Shares
Vendor A 1,160 shares
Vendor B 220 shares
Vendor C 220 shares

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the aggregate amount of the Sale Loans is approximately HK$109,848,400.

Elite owns the entire interest in the Property. The Property is presently subject to a mortgage (“ Mortgage ”) in favour of SHACOM dated 29 June 2011, which will be released upon Completion.

In addition to the Mortgage, the Property is subject to certain existing tenancies. During the period between the execution of the Formal Agreement and Completion, the Vendors shall ensure that Elite shall not, among others, enter into, amend or terminate any tenancy, licence or lease agreement in respect of the Property (including the aforesaid existing tenancies) without the prior written consent of the Purchaser.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Purchaser does not intend to waive any of the above conditions precedent. As at the Latest Practicable Date, conditions (i) and (iii) above have been fulfilled.

Subject to all the conditions precedent set out above being satisfied (or waived pursuant to the terms of the Formal Agreement), Completion shall take place on the Completion Date, or on such other date as the Vendors and Purchaser may agree in writing. Upon Completion, the Purchaser and/or its nominee(s) shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Sale Shares and the Sale Loans (free from all encumbrances).

Neither the Purchaser nor the Vendors is obliged to complete the Acquisition unless the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares and the assignment of the Sale Loans are completed simultaneously. Neither the Purchaser nor the Vendors is obliged to complete the Acquisition or perform any obligations under the Formal Agreement unless the other party complies fully with the requirements in respect of Completion set out in the Formal Agreement. If the respective obligations of the Purchaser and the Vendors are not complied with on Completion Date, the Purchaser or the Vendors may, by notice to the other party who is unable or unwilling to comply with its obligations under the Formal Agreement: (i) proceed to Completion as far as practicable; or (ii) terminate the Formal Agreement (“ Termination due to Non-Compliance ”).

— 9 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

If the Purchaser or Vendors elects to terminate the Formal Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, then all rights and obligations of the parties shall cease immediately upon termination, except that:

  • (ii) if the Vendors elect to terminate the Formal Agreement pursuant to Termination due to Non-Compliance, then the Deposits shall be forfeited to the Vendors as liquidated damages on the Completion Date.

3. INFORMATION OF ELITE AND THE PROPERTY

Elite is a property investment company. Set out below is the audited financial information of Elite for the three financial years ended 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017 respectively, extracted from its audited financial statements, prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards:

For the financial For the financial For the financial
year ended year ended year ended
31 March 2015 31 March 2016 31 March 2017
(Audited) (Audited) (Audited)
HK$’000 HK$’000 HK$’000
Revenue 4,741 5,596 5,636
Net profit/(loss) before
taxation 19,492 (3,916) 68,362
Net profit/(loss) after taxation 19,492 (4,274) 67,642

The audited total assets and the net asset value of Elite as at 31 March 2017 were approximately HK$409,914,000 and HK$214,309,000 respectively.

The Property is a commercial property.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, 18 of the 27 units in the Property were leased. The Company intends to hold the Property for long-term investment through receiving rental income from the tenants of the Property.

4. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Property is being acquired for long-term investment purpose by way of receiving rental income from the tenants of the Property. The Directors consider that the acquisition of the Property through the Acquisition and its development will enable the Group to enlarge its properties portfolio with high quality assets and the Group’s property business portfolio will be strengthened and enhanced.

— 10 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors consider that the Acquisition is on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

The Group intends to finance the Acquisition by bank financing and internal resources.

5. FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION

Upon Completion, Elite will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The financial results of Elite will be consolidated with those of the Group in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

According to the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix IV to this Circular, assuming that Completion had taken place on 30 September 2016, the total assets of the Group would increase by approximately HK$348,653,000 to approximately HK$6,042,703,000. The total liabilities of the Group would increase by approximately HK$320,828,000 to approximately HK$4,067,975,000.

In light of the future income from the existing and future tenancies in the Property (with reference to increasing trend of rental income derived from the Property as shown in the accountant’s report of Elite as set out in Appendix II to this Circular), the Directors are of the view that the Acquisition will likely have a positive impact on the future earnings of the Enlarged Group in the long run.

6. INFORMATION OF THE COMPANY, THE PURCHASER AND THE VENDORS

Information of the Company

The Company is an investment holding company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the manufacture, assembly and sale of electronic watches and watch parts, trading of watch movements and watch parts, property development, property investment and hotel operation.

Information of the Purchaser

The Purchaser is an investment holding company incorporated in Hong Kong, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Information of the Vendors

The Vendors are individuals who are Independent Third Parties.

7. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the highest applicable percentage ratio (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition is higher than 25% but less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction of the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

— 11 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholders of the Company or any of their respective associates have any material interest in the Acquisition. As such, no Shareholders of the Company would be required to abstain from voting under the Listing Rules if the Company were to convene a general meeting for the approval of such matters.

The Company has a closely allied group of shareholders which together hold approximately 50.78% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules, the Company has obtained written approval from Brentford Investments Limited which held 250,813,276 shares in the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date (representing approximately 24.66% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date), and from Fenmore Investments Limited which held 265,701,618 shares in the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date (representing approximately 26.12% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date), for the approval of the Acquisition. The said 250,813,276 shares of the Company held by Brentford Investments Limited are part of the property of a discretionary trust of which each of Mr. James Lee Yuen Kui and Mr. Edward Lee Yuen Cheor is named beneficiary. The said 265,701,618 shares of the Company held by Fenmore Investments Limited are part of the property of a discretionary trust of which Mr. Jimmy Lee Yuen Ching and his family members and Mr. Loewe Lee Bon Chi’s family members are named beneficiaries. Mr. James Lee Yuen Kui and Mr. Edward Lee Yuen Cheor are brothers and they are cousins of Mr. Jimmy Lee Yuen Ching, who is the father of Mr. Loewe Lee Bon Chi. As such, no general meeting will be convened by the Company to approve such matters.

If, despite the said written approval from Brentford Investments Limited and Fenmore Investments Limited having been obtained, voting was required and the Company held a general meeting for the approval of the transactions contemplated under the Formal Agreement, the Directors would have recommended that the Shareholders vote in favour of such resolution.

8. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Your attention is also drawn to the additional information set out in the appendices to this Circular.

As Completion of the Acquisition is subject to the fulfillment and/or waiver (if applicable) of the conditions precedent under the Formal Agreement, the Acquisition may or may not proceed to Completion. Accordingly, Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company.

Your faithfully, For and on behalf of the Board of National Electronics Holdings Limited Lee Yuen Ching Jimmy Chairman

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Audited financial information of the Group for each of the three years ended 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016 are disclosed in the annual reports of the Company for the years ended 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively which were published on both the website of the Stock Exchange (www.hkex.com.hk) and the designated website of the Company (http://www.irasia.com/listco/hk/national/index.htm).

Interim financial information of the Group for the six-month ended 30 September 2016 is disclosed in the interim report of the Company for the six-month ended 30 September 2016, which was published on both the website of the Stock Exchange (www.hkex.com.hk) and the designated website of the Company (http://www.irasia.com/listco/hk/national/index.htm).

The Directors are of the opinion that there is not any material adverse change in the financial or trading position of the Group since the date to which the latest published audited accounts of the Company have been made up.

2. INDEBTEDNESS OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

As at 30 April 2017, being the latest practicable date for the purpose of this statement of indebtedness prior to the printing of this Circular, the Enlarged Group had outstanding bank borrowings of approximately HK$3,437 million (of which approximately HK$2,434 million was secured by fixed charges on certain of the Group’s assets, including properties) representing short and long term loans and trust receipt loans. In addition, the Group had outstanding at that date obligations under hire purchase contracts and finance leases of approximately HK$25 million and contingent liabilities in respect of guarantees given to third parties of approximately HK$1,049 million.

Save as aforesaid, and apart from intra-group liabilities, the Group did not have outstanding at the close of business on the Latest Practicable Date any loan capital and/or debt securities issued and outstanding or agreed to be issued or otherwise created but unissued, bank overdrafts, loans or other similar indebtedness, liabilities under acceptances (other than normal trade bills, if any) or acceptable credits, debentures, mortgages, charges, hire purchases commitments, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities.

3. WORKING CAPITAL OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

The Directors are of the opinion that, after taking into account the financial resources and banking facilities available to the Enlarged Group and its internally generated funds and the effect of the Agreement, the Enlarged Group will have sufficient working capital to satisfy its present requirements for the next twelve (12) months from the date of this Circular in the absence of unforeseen circumstances.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

After Completion, the Enlarged Group will continue its existing business plan in the respective segments and the Company will also continue its existing ordinary business.

Watches and Watch Components

During the six months ended 30 September 2016, the worldwide demand for watch products in general continued to be weak. As a result, the turnover and profit margin of the Group’s watch manufacturing and watch component trading division decreased as compared with the same period last year.

The depreciation of the RMB and other world currencies against the U.S. Dollar will further weaken the purchasing power for watch products from China, Europe and Asian countries. However the Group is hopeful that the improvement of the U.S. market may reduce the negative impact.

Hotel Operation

Despite a challenging market environment for the hospitality sector in Hong Kong, the Group is able to maintain its sales revenue for its hotel operation with slimmer profit margin.

To counter the current slowdown in Hong Kong’s hotel sector, the Group is upgrading the overall service level of the 4 boutique hotels by recruiting talented staff and professional consultants to establish a programme to enhance our services and promote our brand locally and internationally.

Property Development and Investment

During the same period, Hong Kong’s luxurious residential market continued to be strong and the Group’s property development and investment business also benefited and the result is satisfactory.

With the continued rise of transaction prices in the ultra-luxurious residential market, the Group’s acquisition of 3 South Bay Close has proven to be a very positive investment. The Group is planning to demolish the current building and create another landmark residential project in Hong Kong.

The construction work of the Group’s Joint Venture project with BPE Asia Real Estate Fund, L.P. at 45 Tai Tam Road is progressing as planned and extensive luxurious interior fitting out work has commenced by the first quarter of 2017.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON ELITE

APPENDIX II

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Elite was incorporated with limited liability in Hong Kong on 25 November 2010. The address of the registered office and principal place of business of Elite is Room 1501, 15/F, C C Wu Building, 302-308 Hennessy Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong. The principal activity of Elite is property investment.

The Financial Information is presented in Hong Kong dollars, which is also the functional currency of Elite.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In preparing the Financial Information of Elite, the directors of Elite have given careful consideration to the future liquidity of Elite, in view of the fact that Elite’s current liabilities exceed its current assets by approximately HK$189,716,000 as at 31 March 2017. The directors of Elite are satisfied that Elite will have sufficient funds to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future, after taking into consideration that the beneficial shareholders have agreed to provide adequate funds to Elite to meet in full its financial obligations up to the date of the completion of the Acquisition. Moreover, upon completion of the Acquisition, the Company will provide financial support to Elite to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due in the foreseeable future.

3. APPLICATION OF HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Financial Information for the Relevant Periods, Elite has consistently applied the HKFRSs which are effective for the accounting period beginning on 1 April 2016 throughout the Relevant Periods.

Elite has not early applied the following new and amendments to HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:

HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments[1] HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and the Related Amendments[1] HKFRS 16 Leases[2] Amendments to HKFRSs Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2014-2016 Cycle[5] Amendments to HKFRS 2 Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions[1] Amendments to HKFRS 4 Applying HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments with HKFRS 4 Insurance Contracts[1] Amendments to HKFRS 10 Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its and HKAS 28 Associate or Joint Venture[3]

— II-7 —

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON ELITE

APPENDIX II

Amendments to HKAS 7 Disclosure Initiative[4] Amendments to HKAS 12 Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses[4] Amendments to HKAS 40 Transfers of Investment Property[1]

  • 1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018

  • 2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019

  • 3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date to be determined

  • 4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017

  • 5 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 or 2018

The directors of Elite anticipate that the application of the new and amendments to HKFRSs will have no material impact on the financial statements of Elite.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies which conform with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the Financial Information includes applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

The Financial Information has been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain properties that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

Fair value is 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, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, Elite takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in this Financial Information is determined on such a basis, except for measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as value in use in HKAS 36.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

— II-8 —

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON ELITE

APPENDIX II

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

  • Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The principal accounting policies are set out below.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Revenue is recognised when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured; when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to Elite and when specific criteria have been met for each of Elite’s activities, as described below.

Consultancy fee income is recognised when services are provided.

Elite’s accounting policy for recognition of revenue from operating leases is described in the accounting policy for leasing below.

Leasing

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.

Elite as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

— II-9 —

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON ELITE

APPENDIX II

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from ‘profit before tax’ as reported in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. Elite’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Financial Information and the corresponding tax base used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary difference to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which Elite expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

For the purposes of measuring deferred taxes for investment properties that are measured using the fair value model, the carrying amounts of such properties are presumed to be recovered entirely through sale, unless the presumption is rebutted. The presumption is rebutted when the investment property is depreciable and is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale.

— II-10 —

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON ELITE

APPENDIX II

Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated in the statement of financial position at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

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 the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation.

Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at their fair values. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties are included in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.

An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposals. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognised.

Impairment on tangible assets

At the end of the reporting period, Elite reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

— II-11 —

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON ELITE

APPENDIX II

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when Elite has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that Elite will be required to settle that obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (where the effect of the time value of money is material).

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when Elite becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets

Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale (“AFS”) financial assets and loans and receivables. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

— II-12 —

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON ELITE

APPENDIX II

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).

Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables where the recognition of interest would be immaterial.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been affected.

Objective evidence of impairment could include:

  • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

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

  • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation.

Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include Elite’s past experience of collecting payments and observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

— II-13 —

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON ELITE

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of accounts receivable, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When an account receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by Elite are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by Elite are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Financial liabilities at amortised cost

Financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis.

Derecognition

Elite derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If Elite neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, Elite recognises its retained

— II-14 —

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON ELITE

APPENDIX II

interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If Elite retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, Elite continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.

On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

Elite derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, Elite’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of Elite’s accounting policies, which are described in note 4, the directors of Elite are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgements in applying accounting policies

The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimates (see below), that the directors of Elite have made in the process of applying Elite’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the Financial Information.

Deferred taxation on investment properties

For the purposes of measuring deferred tax liabilities or deferred tax assets arising from investment properties that are measured using the fair value model, the directors of Elite have reviewed Elite’s investment property portfolios and concluded that Elite’s investment properties are not held under a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment properties over time, rather than through sale. Therefore, in measuring Elite’s deferred taxation on investment properties, the directors of Elite have determined that the presumption that the carrying amounts of investment properties measured using the fair value model are recovered entirely through sale is not rebutted. As a result, Elite has not recognised any deferred taxes on changes in fair value of investment properties as Elite is not subject to any income taxes on disposal of its investment properties.

— II-15 —

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON ELITE

APPENDIX II

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Fair value of investment properties

Elite’s investment properties are measured at fair value for financial reporting purposes. In estimating the fair value of the investment properties, the directors of Elite uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. Where Level 1 inputs are not available, Elite engages third party qualified valuers to perform the valuation. At the end of each reporting period, the directors of Elite works closely with the qualified external valuers to establish and determine the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs for Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. The directors of Elite will first consider and adopt Level 2 inputs where inputs can be derived from observable quoted prices in the active market. When Level 2 inputs are not available, the directors of Elite will adopt valuation techniques that include Level 3 inputs. Information about the valuation techniques, inputs and key assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of the investment properties are disclosed in note 13.

6. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Elite’s operating activities are attributable to a single operating segment focusing on the property investment. This operating segment has been identified on the basis of internal management reports that are regularly reviewed by the directors of Elite for allocating resources to the segment and assessing its performance. Therefore, no further analysis of segment information is presented.

All of Elite’s revenue and non-current assets are derived from and located in Hong Kong.

The fair values of the investment properties as at 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017 have been arrived at on the basis of a valuation carried out by Jones Lang LaSalle Limited, independent qualified professional valuers not connected with Elite.

The fair values were determined based on direct comparison approach, where the values are assessed by reference to the comparable properties in close proximity and adjusted for differences in key attributes such as property size and location.

In estimating the fair value of the investment properties, the highest and best use of the properties is their current use.

24. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Elite manages its capital to ensure that Elite will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. Elite’s overall strategy remains unchanged throughout the Relevant Periods.

The capital structure of Elite consists of debt (which includes amounts due to shareholders and bank borrowings) and equity attributable to owners of Elite (comprising issued share capital and retained profits).

The directors of Elite review the capital structure regularly. As part of this review, Elite’s directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with the capital. Based on recommendations of the directors, Elite will balance its overall capital structure through new share issues as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON ELITE

APPENDIX II

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies

Elite’s major financial instruments include bank balances, amounts due to shareholders and bank borrowings. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with certain of these financial instruments include interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Interest rate risk

Elite is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate bank borrowings. It is the Elite’s policy to keep its borrowings at floating rate of interests so as to minimise the fair value interest rate risk.

Elite’s cash flow interest rate risk is mainly concentrated on the fluctuation of HIBOR arising from Elite’s Hong Kong dollar denominated bank borrowings.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. The analysis is prepared assuming the financial instruments outstanding at the end of the reporting period were outstanding for the whole period. A 50 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher and all other variables were held constant, Elite’s profit/loss for the years ended 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017 would decrease/increase by approximately HK$371,000, HK$359,000 and HK$346,000 respectively. If interest rates had been 50 basis points lower and all other variables were held constant, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the profit/loss.

Credit risk

At the end of each reporting period, Elite’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to Elite due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties is arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the statements of financial position.

In order to minimise the credit risk, management of Elite has monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, Elite reviews the recoverable amount of each individual debt at the end of each reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of Elite consider that the credit risk of Elite is significantly reduced.

— II-27 —

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON ELITE

APPENDIX II

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparty is a bank with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

Liquidity risk

In the management of the liquidity risk, Elite monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance Elite’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. Management monitors the utilisation of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.

Elite had net current liabilities at 31 March 2017, which exposed Elite to liquidity risk. In order to mitigate the liquidity risk, the beneficial shareholders of Elite have agreed to provide adequate funds for Elite to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future.

The following tables detail Elite’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which Elite can be required to pay. Specifically bank loans with a repayment on demand clause are included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of the banks choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for financial liabilities are based on the agreed repayment dates.

Bank loans with a repayment on demand clause are included in the “on demand or less than 1 year” time band in the above maturity analysis. Taking into account Elite’s financial position, the directors of Elite do not believe that it is probable that the banks will exercise their discretionary rights to demand immediate repayment. The directors of Elite believe that such bank loans will be repaid after the end of the reporting period in accordance with the scheduled repayment dates set out in the loan agreements, details of which are set out in the table below:

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information:

  1. The balances are extracted from the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 30 September 2016 as set out in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2016.

  2. The balances are extracted from the audited statement of financial position of Elite as at 31 March 2017 as set out in Appendix II to this circular.

  3. According to the Formal sale and purchase agreement (the “Formal Agreement”), the consideration for the Acquisition is HK$375,000,000 which is subject to adjustments of net current asset value of Elite excluding the bank loans and the shareholders’ loans of Elite as at the completion date.

For the purposes of the preparation of the pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group, the consideration for the Acquisition is assumed to be approximately HK$378,061,000, which is based on consideration of HK$375,000,000 after adjustment of Elite’s net current asset value (excluding the bank loans and the shareholders’ loans) of approximately HK$3,061,000 as at 31 March 2017. With this premise, the pro forma financial information may be different from the actual amounts of assets and liabilities acquired.

— IV-3 —

APPENDIX IV

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

The Group intends to finance the Acquisition through internal resources and obtaining new financing through a proposed long-term term loan facility of approximately HK$318,000,000 (the “Proposed Term Loan Facility”). As at the date of this circular, the Proposed Term Loan Facility was subject to formal approval procedures to be conducted by a bank and no loan agreement has been executed.

Pursuant to the Formal Agreement, the consideration for acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Elite (the “Sale Shares”) shall be determined as follows:

Total pro forma consideration for the Acquisition
Less: Pro forma shareholders’ loans assigned to the Group
Less: Pro forma bank loans repaid in full
Pro forma consideration for the Sale Shares
HK$’000
378,061
(109,848)
(82,929)
185,284

The major assets of Elite are investment properties representing commercial properties in Hong Kong. The Directors are of the opinion that the Acquisition does not constitute a business combination as defined in Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 3 (Revised) “Business Combinations”, therefore the Acquisition have been accounted for as an acquisition of assets and liabilities through acquisition of a subsidiary.

It is assumed that the fair value of the net identifiable assets as at the completion date is equal to the carrying amount of the net assets acquired as at 31 March 2017 as recorded by Elite. Excess of the net carrying value of the assets and liabilities of Elite over the consideration for the Sale Shares, amounting to approximately HK$29,025,000 is recognised in the retained profits as the investment properties acquired are stated at their fair value as at 31 March 2017. Since the cost allocation to the individual identifiable assets and liabilities is not complete and the fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities of Elite acquired may change at the actual date of completion of the Acquisition, the amount allocated to investment properties recognised by the Group may be different.

  1. The adjustment represents the reclassification of approximately HK$800,000 from amount due from a related company of Elite to other receivables.

  2. The adjustment represents estimated transaction costs of approximately HK$1,200,000 to be incurred directly in connection with the Acquisition, which is recognised in the retained profits as investment properties acquired are stated at fair value as at 31 March 2017.

  3. The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information does not take account of any trading results or other transactions of the Group subsequent to 30 September 2016 and of Elite subsequent to 31 March 2017.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANT’S ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

TO THE DIRECTORS OF NATIONAL ELECTRONICS HOLDINGS LIMITED

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of pro forma financial information of National Electronics Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) by the directors for illustrative purposes only. The pro forma financial information consists of the pro forma net asset statement as at 30 September 2016 and related notes as set out on pages IV-1 to IV-4 of the circular issued by the Company dated 9 June 2017 (the “Circular”). The applicable criteria on the basis of which the directors have compiled the pro forma financial information are described on pages IV-1 to IV-4 of the Circular.

The pro forma financial information has been compiled by the directors to illustrate the impact of the acquisition of entire issued share capital in Elite Bright Asia Pacific Limited on the Group’s financial position as at 30 September 2016 as if the transaction had taken place at 30 September 2016. 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 period ended 30 September 2016, on which no audit or review report has been published.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Pro Forma Financial Information

The directors are responsible for compiling the pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”) and with reference to Accounting Guideline 7 Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars (“AG 7”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

Our Independence and Quality Control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the HKICPA, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior.

The firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Reporting Accountants’ Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the pro forma financial information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the pro forma financial information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3420, Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus , issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountant plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the directors have compiled the pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules and with reference to AG 7 issued by the HKICPA.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information.

The purpose of pro forma financial information included in an investment circular is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the Group as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the event or transaction at 30 September 2016 would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the 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 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

— IV-6 —

APPENDIX IV UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP

  • The pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgment, having regard to the reporting accountants’ understanding of the nature of the Group, the event or transaction in respect of which the pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the pro forma 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:

  • (a) the pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis stated;

  • (b) such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group; and

  • (c) the adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the pro forma financial information as disclosed pursuant to paragraph 4.29(1) of the Listing Rules.

This letter, forming part of our valuation report, identifies the Property being valued, explains the basis and methodology of our valuation, and lists out the assumptions and the title investigation we have made in the course of our valuation, as well as the limiting conditions.

(i) BASIS OF VALUATION

In evaluating the Property, we have complied with the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (2012 Edition) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.

— V-1 —

APPENDIX V

VALUATION REPORT OF THE PROPERTY

Our valuation of a property is our opinion of its market value which we would define as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

The market value is the best price reasonably obtainable in the market by the seller and the most advantageous price reasonably obtainable in the market by the buyer. This estimate specifically excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as typical financing, sale and leaseback arrangements, joint ventures, management agreements, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value. The market value of a property is also estimated without regard to costs of sale and purchase and without offset for any associated taxes.

(ii) VALUATION METHODOLOGY

In the course of our valuation, we have valued the Property using “Comparison Approach” as there are numbers of similar property sales in the area.

(iii) VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

In valuing the Property interests, we have assumed that the Client has free and uninterrupted rights to use or to assign the Property interests for the whole of the unexpired term granted subject to payment of annual land use fee and that all requisite land premium/purchase consideration otherwise payable have been fully settled.

Our valuation has also been made on the assumption that the Property is to be sold in the open market without the benefit of a deferred terms contract, leaseback, joint venture, or any similar arrangement that would serve to affect their values. No account has been taken of any option or right of pre-emption concerning or affecting the sale of the Property and no forced sale situation in any manner is assumed in our valuation.

No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amount owing on the Property nor for any expenses or taxation that may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the Property is free from encumbrances, restrictions, and outgoings of an onerous nature that could affect their value.

It is assumed that all applicable zoning, land use regulations and other restrictions have been complied with unless a non-conformity has been stated, defined and considered in the valuation certificate.

The valuer, Mr. Leo S.D. Cheung, has inspected the Property on 6 April 2017.

We are, therefore, not able to report that the Property is free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects. Yet, in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects.

Moreover, we have not carried out any site investigations to determine or otherwise the suitability of the ground conditions, the presence or otherwise of contamination and the provision of or otherwise suitability for services etc. for any future development. Our valuation is prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred in the event of any redevelopment.

No detailed on-site measurements have been made during our inspection. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificate attached are based on information contained in the documents provided to us and are therefore approximations only.

Having reviewed all relevant documentation, we have relied to a considerable extent on the information provided by the Client and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, tenure, completion dates of buildings, particulars of occupancy, site and floor plans, site and floor areas and other relevant matters in the identification of the Property in which the Client has valid interest. We have not seen original planning consents and have assumed that the Property has been erected and are being occupied and used in accordance with such consents.

We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Client.

Further information relating to these statutory financial statements required to be disclosed in accordance with section 436 of the Companies Ordinance is as follows:

As Elite is a private company, it is not required to deliver its financial statements to the Registrar of Companies, and has not done so.

Elite’s auditor has reported on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2015 and 2016. The auditor ’s reports were unqualified; did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis; and did not contain a statement under either sections 406(2), 407(2) or (3) of the Companies Ordinance.
