(Stock Code: 8195)

ANNOUNCEMENT OF INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021

CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”)

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

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

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited and The Stock Exchange take no responsibility for the contents of this announcement, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this announcement.

This announcement, for which the directors (the “Directors”) of Legendary Group Limited (the “Company”) collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM of the Stock Exchange (the “GEM Listing Rules”) for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief, the information contained in this announcement is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this announcement misleading.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the six months ended 30 September 2021

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Company changed its name from L & A International Holdings Limited to Legendary Group Limited on 31 August 2021.

The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. The Company’s shares have been listed on the GEM of The Stock Exchange since 10 October 2014. The addresses of the registered office and the principal place of business of the Company are P.O. Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104 Cayman Islands and 5/F., World Interest Building, 8 Tsun Yip Lane, Kwun Tong, Hong Kong, respectively.

The Group is principally engaged in the manufacturing and sales of OEM garment products; retailing and wholesaling of garment products under the Group’s own brand and highend fashion brand; provision of loan services; wholesaling of seafood; provision of financial quotient and investment education courses and property investment.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong Accounting Standard (“HKAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the applicable disclosure provisions of Chapter 18 of the GEM Listing Rules.

This Interim Financial Statements contains condensed consolidated financial statements and selected explanatory notes. The notes include an explanation of events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Group since the 2021 annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereon do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 31 March 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report”).

The adoption of the new/revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) that are relevant to the Group and effective for the financial year begin on or after 1 April 2021 had no significant effects on the results and financial position of the Group for the current or prior accounting periods have been prepared or presented. At the date of authorisation of the Interim Financial Statements, the Group has not early adopted the new/revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of the Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those adopted in the 2021 Annual Report.

The Interim Financial Statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), which is also the functional currency of the Company.

The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values.

  • 5 -

4. ESTIMATES

The preparation of Interim Financial Statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing the Interim Financial Statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the 2021 Annual Report.

5. REVENUE AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group manages its businesses by divisions, which are organised by business lines (products and services). In a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the Group’s executive Directors (the chief operating decision maker) (“CODM”) for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment, the Group has presented the following reportable segments. No operating segments have been aggregated to form the following reportable segments.

  • (i) OEM Business: manufacturing and sales of OEM garment products;

  • (ii) Retail Business: retailing and wholesaling of garment products under the Group’s own brand and high-end fashion brand;

  • (iii) Money Lending Business: provision of loan services;

  • (iv) Wholesaling Business: wholesaling of seafood;

  • (v) Financial Quotient and Investment Education Business: provision of financial quotient and investment education courses for the customers; and

  • (vi) Property Investment Business: investing properties in Asia Pacific region.

(a) Segment results

For the purposes of assessing segment performance and allocating resources between segments, the Group’s executive Directors monitor the results attributable to each reportable segment on the following basis:

Revenue and expenses are allocated to the reportable segments with reference to sales generated by those segments and the expenses incurred by those segments or which otherwise arise from the depreciation or amortisation of assets attributable to those segments.

Segment results represents pretax profit/loss incurred from each segment without allocation of other income, other gains and losses, certain corporate expenses and finance costs. This is the measure reported to the CODM for the purpose of resource allocation and performance assessment.

  • 6 -

Segments assets include all tangible, intangible assets and current assets with the exception of investments in financial assets and other corporate assets. Segment liabilities include provisions, lease liabilities and trade and other payables attributable to the activities of the individual segments and borrowings managed directly by the segments.

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies.

Disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers by the timing of revenue recognition, as well as information regarding the Group’s reportable segments as provided to the Group’s executive Directors for the purposes of resources allocation and assessment of segment performance for the six months ended 30 September 2021 and 2020 is set out below:

  • 2) There be general liberty to the Petitioners, the Respondents, the Company and shareholders of the Company to apply.

  • 3) A costs order nisi that the Respondents pay the Petitioners costs of the proceedings with certificate for two counsel such costs to be taxed if not agreed.

Whilst the Group remains focused on developing its existing businesses, in particular the Investment Education Business, it has been the business strategy of the Group to proactively seek potential investment opportunities in order to enhance value of the Shareholders. The Group intends to commence the business of providing secondary school tutoring courses for Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (i.e. HKDSE) in Hong Kong, and has been pro-actively identifying and recruiting experienced management personnel and tutors to join the Group.
