LETTER FROM THE BOARD

A valuation of the Property was carried out by the Dudley Surveyors Limited which assessed the value of the Property as at 31 March 2006 at HK$4,060,000. Such assessed value is equal to the book value of the Property in the Group’s audited consolidated accounts for the year ended 31 March 2006. After the Disposal, the fixed assets of the Group has been reduced by HK$4,060,000. As the sales proceeds of approximately HK$4,800,000 (being the Purchase Price minus agency fee and the legal expenses) will be used to settle the existing bank loan. The liabilities of the Group will be reduced by approximately HK$4,800,000 as a result. As at 31 March 2006, the total bank loans of the Group was approximately HK$54,843,000.

So far as the Directors are aware, the Dudley Surveyors Limited is independent of the Company, its subsidiaries, their respective directors, chief executive, substantial shareholders and any of their respective associates.

Consideration

The Purchase Price is HK$4,880,000 which is satisfied by way of cash.

The Purchase Price was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Vendor and the Purchaser, with reference to recent transaction records of similar properties in nearby locality.

Terms of Payment

  • (a) an initial deposit of HK$244,000 was paid by the Purchaser to the Vendor on 21 August 2006 upon signing of the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement;

  • (b) a further deposit of HK$244,000 was paid by the Purchaser to the Vendor on 30 August 2006; and

  • (c) the balance of the Purchase Price of HK$4,392,000 will be paid by the Purchaser on or before completion of the Disposal.

REASONS FOR DISPOSAL

As at 31 March 2006, the net book values of the Property was approximately carrying at HK$4,060,000. Accordingly the profit which is expected to accrue to the Group upon the disposal of the Property before deducting all relevant expenses is estimated at HK$820,000. In view of the improved property market condition, the board of directors of the Company (“the Board”) considers that the Company should take this opportunity to realize the Property at a reasonable price. The entire net proceeds from the disposal will be used to repay the existing bank loan. It will reduce the borrowing and interest expenses of the Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

For the years ended 31 March 2005 and 2006, the interest on bank loans and overdrafts of the Group were approximately HK$2,234,000 and HK$2,993,000 respectively. The repayment will reduce the above cost of the Group in the coming year. As less finance cost incurred, it will improve the financial position of the Group.

The Board considers that the disposal is on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and shareholders as a whole.

GENERAL

The Company and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) are principally engaged in the sourcing, subcontracting, marketing and selling of garments, including licensed products. The Vendor, being a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is engaged in property holding business in Hong Kong.
