CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate 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. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

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

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with the information relating to, among other things, (i) further information relating to the Disposal and the transactions contemplated thereunder; (ii) the financial information of the Group; (iii) the valuation report in respect of the Property; (iv) other information as required to be disclosed under the GEM Listing Rules; and (v) a notice of the EGM.

THE DISPOSAL

Up to the Latest Practicable Date, the Formal Agreement was not entered into by the Purchaser and the Vendor. Pursuant to the terms of the Provisional Agreement, as no Formal Agreement has been entered into, the Provisional Agreement shall be treated as the Formal Agreement.

The principal terms of the Provisional Agreement are set out as below:

Date

23 March 2018 (after trading hours)

Parties

Purchaser: Ms. Ho Lai Ha, being the Purchaser Vendor: Able Rich Management Limited, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company

To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors after having made all reasonable enquiries, the Purchaser is an Independent Third Party.

Assets to be disposed of

Pursuant to the Provisional Agreement, the Vendor conditionally agreed to sell and the Purchaser conditionally agreed to purchase the Sale Shares, being the entire issued share capital in the Target Company.

  • (b) a further deposit in the sum of HK$2,650,000 has been paid to the Vendor on 5 April 2018; and

  • (c) the remaining balance of the Consideration of HK$32,850,000 shall be paid to the Vendor upon Completion.

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The deposits in (a) and (b) of the above has been paid to the Vendor’s solicitors as stakeholder who shall not release the same to the Vendor until the Completion Date.

The Consideration was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Vendor and the Purchaser on normal commercial terms with reference to (i) the financial position of the Target Company which recorded unaudited net asset value of approximately HK$22,239,000 as at 31 December 2017; (ii) the prevailing market price of similar properties of similar size, character and location; and (iii) preliminary valuation of approximately HK$31,500,000 valued by the Independent Property Valuer.

After considering the valuation adjustment for the Property, the adjusted net asset value of the Target Company as at 31 May 2018 was approximately HK$31,898,000 (the ‘‘Adjusted NAV’’). The Adjusted NAV was calculated based on (i) the net asset value of the Target Company of approximately HK$22,789,000 as at 31 May 2018; and (ii) upward fair value adjustments for the Property in the amount of approximately HK$9,109,000 (the ‘‘Adjustment Amount’’), being the difference of the appraised value of the Property of approximately HK$31,500,000 as at 31 May 2018 (the ‘‘Valuation’’) assessed by the Independent Property Valuer over the net book value of approximately HK$22,391,000 as at 31 May 2018 to reflect the market value of the Property.

The Consideration represents a premium of approximately 14.4% over the Adjusted NAV.

Stamp Duty

Pursuant to the terms of the Provisional Agreement, the Purchaser agrees to bear all the stamp duty levied in connection with the Disposal.

Conditions Precedent

Pursuant to the Provisional Agreement, the Disposal shall be subject to and conditional upon the fulfillment and satisfaction, at or prior to the Completion Date, of (i) the passing of the necessary resolution(s) by the Shareholders at the EGM to approve the Provisional Agreement and the transactions contemplated in or incidental to the Provisional Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the GEM Listing Rules; and (ii) compliance in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules.

None of the above conditions precedent is waivable. If the Conditions cannot be fulfilled on or prior to the Completion Date, then the Provisional Agreement shall be terminated whereupon the Vendor shall refund the deposits in full to the Purchaser and thereafter all rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties shall cease and determine and none of the parties shall have any claim against the other.

Completion

Subject to the fulfillment of all Conditions, Completion will take place on the Completion Date. Upon Completion, the Target Company will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and the financial results of the Target Company will no longer be consolidated with the results of the Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY

The Target Company is a company incorporated in Hong Kong on 9 October 2015 and is wholly-owned by the Vendor. The principal business of the Target Company is investment holding and its only asset is the Property.

The Target Company is the sole legal and beneficial owner of the Property. The Property is a commercial unit situated in Glamour Garden in Shatin, New Territories, Hong Kong. The Property is leased out to an Independent Third Party for a term of two years commencing from 15 May 2017 and ending on 14 May 2019 (both days inclusive) for a monthly rent of HK$110,000. Pursuant to the tenancy agreement of the Property, the tenant has the option to renew the tenancy agreement for one year at a proposed monthly rent of HK$121,000 after the expiry of the existing tenancy agreement.

Set out below is a summary of the key financial data of the Target Company based on the audited financial statement of the Target Company for the period from 9 October 2015 (date of incorporation) to 31 March 2017 and the unaudited management accounts of the Target Company for the year ended 31 March 2018 respectively:

For the period
from 9 October
2015 (date of For the
incorporation) year ended
to 31 March 31 March
2017 2018
(audited) (unaudited)
(HK$’000) (HK$’000)
Net profit/(loss) before taxation (430) 1,313
Net profit/(loss) after taxation (430) 1,313

Based on the latest management accounts provided by the Company, the unaudited consolidated net assets of the Target Company as at 31 May 2018 was approximately HK$22,789,000.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL

The Directors expect to recognise an unaudited gain of approximately HK$13,146,000 from the Disposal after taking into account of (i) the Consideration; (ii) the unaudited net assets of the Target Company of approximately HK$22,789,000 as at 31 May 2018; and (iii) the transaction expenses payable by the Group in connection with the Disposal.

The calculations are only estimates provided for illustrative purposes. Shareholders should note that the actual amount of gain on the Disposal to be recorded by the Company will be subject to review by the auditors of the Company.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In addition, following Completion, the Target Company will cease to be the subsidiary of the Company and the financial results of the Target Company will no longer be consolidated into the accounts of the Group. Based on the management accounts of the Target Company as at 31 May 2018, upon Completion, it is expected that the total assets of the Group will increase by approximately HK$12,577,000 and total liabilities of the Group will decrease by approximately HK$569,000.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSALS

The Company is an investment holding company. The Group is principally engaged in the manufacturing, sales and retailing of garment products and provision of loan. The Vendor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and its principal activity is investment holdings.

The Group has been holding the Property for investment purposes. The Property was acquired by the Company in December 2017 for a consideration of HK$30,300,000. The Consideration represents a capital appreciation of approximately 20.5% in the value of the Property. Taking into consideration of the proceeds from the Disposal and the gain from the Disposal, the Directors consider that the Disposal represents a good opportunity for the Company to realise its investment in the Property and that the proceeds from the Disposal will improve the financial position of the Group by providing additional funds for general working capital of the Group.

The Directors consider that the terms of the Provisional Agreement are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

GEM LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposal exceeds 25% but all applicable percentage ratios are below 100%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction for the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTOR

By virtue of article 16.2 of the Articles of Association, any Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board shall hold office only until the next following general meeting of the Company and shall then be eligible for re-election. As such, Mr. Lau Chun Kavan (‘‘Mr. Lau’’), being appointed as executive Director on 16 May 2018, shall retire from office and, being eligible, will offer himself for re-election at the EGM.

Biographical details of Mr. Lau, who is proposed to be re-elected at the EGM, are set out in Appendix IV to this circular.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL

The EGM will be convened and held for the Shareholders to consider, and if thought fit, to approve (i) the relevant resolution in relation to the Provisional Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder; and (ii) the re-election of the retiring Director. A notice convening the EGM is set out on pages EGM-1 to EGM-2 of this circular.

The voting for all resolutions proposed at the EGM will be conducted by poll whereby any Shareholders and their close associates (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules) who have a material interest in the Disposal shall abstain from voting on the resolution in relation to the Disposal to be proposed at the EGM.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, after having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholders or any of their respective close associate have any material interest in the Disposal and the re-election of the retiring Director, respectively. As such, no Shareholders would be required to abstain from voting at the EGM in respect of the relevant resolutions approving the Disposal and the re-election of the retiring Director to be proposed at the EGM.

A form of proxy for use by Shareholders at the EGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Boardroom Share Registrars (HK) Limited at 2103B, 21/F, 148 Electric Road, North Point, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the EGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjournment thereof should you so wish.

Completion is subject to the satisfaction of the Conditions set out in the Provisional Agreement and therefore may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that (i) while the Disposal is not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, the terms of the Provisional Agreement are on normal commercial terms; and (ii) the Disposal, the terms of the Provisional Agreement and the re-election of the retiring Director are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend that all Shareholders should vote in favour of the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the EGM to approve (i) the Provisional Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and (ii) to re-elect Mr. Lau as a Director.

1/F, Kimley Commercial Building, No. 142-146 Queen’s Road Central Hong Kong 11 July 2018

The Board of Directors

L & A International Holdings Limited

Dear Sir/Madam,

Re: VALUATION OF SHOP I ON G/F, GLAMOUR GARDEN, NOS. 1–5 CHIK FAI STREET, NOS. 22–26 MEI TIN ROAD, SHATIN, NEW TERRITORIES

We refer to your instruction for us to value the captioned property (‘‘the Property’’) held by Well Sun Development Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) located in Hong Kong. We confirm that we have carried out property inspection, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of the Property as at 31st May 2018 (the ‘‘Valuation Date’’) for public circular purpose of the Company.

This letter which forms part of our valuation report explains the basis and methodologies of valuation, clarifying assumptions, valuation considerations, title investigations and limiting conditions of this valuation.

BASIS OF VALUATION

The valuation is our opinion of the market value (‘‘Market Value’’) which we would define as intended to mean the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date 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.

Market Value is understood as the value of an asset or liability estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.

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 a 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.

– II-1 –

VALUATION REPORT ON THE PROPERTY

APPENDIX II

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

We have valued the Property on market basis and the direct comparison method is adopted where comparison based on prices realized on actual sales of comparable properties is made. Comparable properties of similar size, character and location are analyzed and carefully weighed against all the respective advantages and disadvantages of each property in order to arrive at a fair comparison of market value.

VALUATION CONSIDERATIONS

In valuing the Property interest, we have complied with all the requirements contained in Chapter 5 and 8 to the Rules Governing Valuation of and information on properties and the Qualifications for Listing of Equity Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the HKIS Valuation Standards 2017 Edition.

VALUATION ASSUMPTION

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the owner sells the Property in the market in its existing state without the benefit of deferred term contracts, leasebacks, joint ventures, management agreements or any similar arrangements which would serve to affect the value of the Property.

Unless stated as otherwise, we have assumed that the Property has been constructed, occupied and used in full compliance with, and without contravention of all laws, except only where otherwise stated. We have further assumed that, for any use of the Property upon which this report is based, all required licenses, permit, certificate, and authorizations have been obtained.

We have assumed that the owner of the Property has free and uninterrupted rights to use and dispose of the Property for the whole of the unexpired term of its Government Lease.

Other special assumptions of the Property, if any, have been stated in the footnote of the valuation certificate of the Property.

TITLE INVESTIGATION

We have carried out searches to be made at the Land Registry for the Property located in Hong Kong.

However, we have not verified ownership of the Property or to verify the existence of any amendments which do not appear on the copies handed to us. All documents have been used for reference only.

LIMITING CONDITIONS

We have conducted on-site external inspection to the Property on 11th April 2018 by our Mr. AU-YEUNG Siu Leung Alan who has 13 years experience in property inspection and valuation. During the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. However,

– II-2 –

VALUATION REPORT ON THE PROPERTY

APPENDIX II

no structural survey has been made and we are therefore unable to report whether the Property is free from rot infestation or any other defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services.

We have not been able to carry out detailed on-site measurements to verify the site and floor areas of the Property and we have assumed that the areas shown on the copies of documents handed to us are correct.

We have relied to a considerable extent, on the information provided by the Group and have been accepted advice given to us by the Group on such matters as statutory notices, easements, tenure, occupation, tenancy details, floor area and in the identification of the Property.

We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Group which are material to the valuation. We have been also advised by the Group that no material facts have been omitted from the information supplied.

No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amount owing on any property interests nor for any expense or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale.
