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 and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
MAJOR TRANSACTION ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the Announcement in relation to the Acquisition of the Property by the Purchaser from the Vendor at a consideration of HK$44,000,000.
As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition are more than 25% but less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules and is therefore subject to reporting, announcement, circular and Shareholders’ approval requirements under the GEM Listing Rules.
– 4 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, after having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for approving the Acquisition. A written Shareholder’s approval dated 24 January 2017 has been obtained from Topline (which as at the Latest Practicable Date held 277,000,040 Shares, representing approximately 57.66% of the issued share capital of the Company) in respect of the Acquisition. Such written approval has been accepted in lieu of holding a general meeting of the Company for approving the Acquisition. Therefore, no general meeting of the Company will be convened for approving the Acquisition pursuant to Rule 19.44 of the GEM Listing Rules.
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, details of the Acquisition and other information as required under the GEM Listing Rules.
THE AGREEMENTS AND THE ACQUISITION
The Provisional Agreement
Date : 24 January 2017 Parties : (1) The Vendor (2) The Purchaser Consideration : HK$44,000,000
To the best of Director’s knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, the Vendor and its ultimate beneficial owner(s) (if applicable) are Independent Third Parties.
The Property
The Property to be acquired by the Purchaser from the Vendor is located on the whole of the 25th Floor (which includes units A, B, C and D of 25th Floor), Guangdong Tours Centre, 18 Pennington Street, Hong Kong (the ‘‘Property’’), having a total gross floor area of approximately 3,230 square feet.
– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Property has been occupied by a tenant. The tenant and its ultimate beneficial owner(s) are Independent Third Parties. No vacant possession of the Property will be delivered to the Purchaser on Completion until the termination or expiration of the existing lease which is expected to end on or before 21 February 2018 (the ‘‘Lease’’). The Property is currently subject to the Lease with a monthly rental income of HK$86,000 (exclusive of management fee, air conditioning fee and government rent and rates and other operating outgoings) for a term commencing on 22 February 2016 and expiring on 21 February 2018. The Lease can be renewed for a term of one year commencing from 22 February 2018 to 21 February 2019 by mutual consent of the landlord and the tenant. The Property was used by the Vendor for its own use for the period from 1 April 2013 to 21 February 2016. Rental income generated from the Property for the period from 22 February 2016 (date of commencement of the Lease) to 31 March 2016 amounted to approximately HK$28,000. Rental income of the Property received by the Vendor for the nine months ended 31 December 2016 was approximately HK$688,000. There are two months and twenty days rent-free period from 22 February to 21 March 2016, from 1 December to 31 December 2016 and from 1 February to 20 February 2018. If the tenant fails to pay the rent and/or any charges payable under the Lease for seven days after the same shall become payable or if the tenant commits a breach of any of the terms and conditions contained in the Lease, the landlord can at any time re-enter the Property whereupon the Lease shall absolutely determine.
Upon expiration of the Lease, the Property will be used as the new Medicskin Centre which will provide one-stop effective and evidence-based medical solution targeting individual’s specific needs, requirements and skin conditions.
The Group is unable to gain full access to the underlying books and records or other financial information of the Vendor regarding the direct costs and other expenses for the preparation of the financial information of the Property for the relevant financial years in compliance with the requirements of Rule 19.67(6)(b)(i) of the GEM Listing Rules. The Company has therefore applied to the Stock Exchange for a waiver from strict compliance with the GEM Listing Rule 19.67(6)(b)(i), such that the following information be disclosed instead. The tenant is responsible for management fee, air conditioning fee and government rent and rates and other operating outgoings. Based on the terms of the Lease of the Property and the experience of the Company’s management in the property industry, the estimated expenses paid and payable by the Vendor in respect of the three financial years ended 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016 amounted to approximately HK$169,000, HK$172,000 and HK$156,000 respectively. The estimated expenses paid and payable by the tenant in respect of the period from 22 February 2016 (date of commencement of the Lease) to 31 March 2016 would be approximately HK$14,000. Save for the above limited information, no other expenses such as depreciation, repair and maintenance, and finance costs were included. The information set out above is prepared using accounting policies which are materially consistent with those of the Company.
A valuation of the Property has been carried out by Asset Appraisal Limited, which valued the market value of the Property at HK$44,000,000 as at 31 January 2017. The valuation report of the Property performed by Asset Appraisal Limited is set out in Appendix III to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Formal Agreement
The Purchaser and the Vendor entered into the Formal Agreement on 7 February 2017. The Formal Agreement has incorporated the terms and conditions contained in the Provisional Agreement and other terms mutually agreed between the Vendor and the Purchaser.
Purchase Price and payment terms
The Purchase Price in the aggregate amount of HK$44,000,000 for the Acquisition is to be satisfied by the Purchaser in the following manner:
-
(1) HK$2,200,000 was paid to the Vendor upon signing of the Provisional Agreement as initial deposit;
-
(2) HK$2,200,000 was paid to the Vendor upon signing of the Formal Agreement on 7 February 2017 as further deposit; and
-
(3) the remaining balance of HK$39,600,000 shall be paid in full to the Vendor upon completion of the Acquisition, which is expected to take place on or before 24 March 2017.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the initial deposit and further deposit have been settled by the Purchaser in cash.
The Purchase Price was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Vendor and the Purchaser on normal commercial terms with reference to the market value of similar properties in similar locations. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) believe that the Purchase Price is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. It is expected that the Purchase Price will be financed by the net proceeds from the Subscription as disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 29 September 2016.
Completion
Completion of the Acquisition shall take place on or before 24 March 2017.
INFORMATION ON THE VENDOR
The Vendor is a company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability engaged in property investment.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
INFORMATION ON THE PURCHASER AND THE COMPANY
The Purchaser is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and its principal business is property holding. The Group is principally engaged in the provision of medical skin care services in Hong Kong. The Group is currently operating two Medicskin Centres that primarily focus on the treatment of skin diseases/problems and/or the improvement of appearance of its clients, offering one-stop skin care solutions according to client’s specific needs, requirements and skin conditions. As disclosed in the management discussion and analysis in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 March 2016, the Group is in the process of exploring and identifying a location for potential new Medicskin Centre as well as assessing the market conditions.
REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION
As disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 29 September 2016, the Company intends to use the majority of the net proceeds from the Subscription of approximately HK$40,000,000 for acquisition of premises in relation to a new Medicskin Centre to be established in a prime district in Hong Kong. Upon expiration of the Lease, the Property will be used as the new Medicskin Centre which will provide one-stop effective and evidence-based medical solution targeting individual’s specific needs, requirements and skin conditions.
FINANCIAL EFFECT ON THE GROUP
The Property is held as leasehold land and building under property, plant and equipment in the Group after Completion. Following the Acquisition, the property, plant and equipment of the Group is expected to increase by approximately HK$48,559,000, representing the sum of the Purchase Price, agency fee, stamp duty and other expenses incurred for the Acquisition; the total assets and net asset value of the Group is expected to be remain unchanged as the increase in property, plant and equipment will be offset by the decrease in bank balances and cash of the Group. The Group expects the Acquisition will increase the annual depreciation charges by approximately HK$971,000. The Property will contribute other income (i.e. rental income) of approximately HK$885,000 to the Group for the period from the Completion to the date of expiration of the Lease.
GEM LISTING RULE IMPLICATIONS
In respect of the Acquisition, as one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition are more than 25% but less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company and is therefore subject to reporting, announcement, circular and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, after having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for approving the Acquisition.
A written Shareholder’s approval dated 24 January 2017 has been obtained from Topline (which as at the Latest Practicable Date held 277,000,040 Shares, representing approximately 57.66% of the issued share capital of the Company) in respect of the Acquisition. Such written approval has been accepted in lieu of holding a general meeting of the Company for approving the Acquisition. Therefore, no general meeting of the Company will be convened for approving the Acquisition pursuant to Rule 19.44 of the GEM Listing Rules. This circular will therefore be sent to the Shareholders for their information only. Dr. Kong, our executive Director and the chairman of the Board, holds 100% shareholding of Topline.
RECOMMENDATION
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the Acquisition is fair and reasonable and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Hence, the Board recommends the Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions to approve the Acquisition if voting action of the Shareholders would have been required.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
As disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 29 September 2016, the Company intends to use the majority of the net proceeds from the Subscription for acquisition of premises in relation to a new Medicskin Centre to be established in a prime district in Hong Kong. Due to the continue increase in rent of office buildings in prime locations in Hong Kong, the Company considers that it will be in the long term interests of the Company and its Shareholders to have its Medicskin Centres operating in self-owned properties. Upon expiration of the Lease, the Property will be used as the new Medicskin Centre which will provide one-stop effective and evidencebased medical solution targeting individual’s specific needs, requirements and skin conditions.
Taking into account the high growth rate of female population in Hong Kong and the growing emphasis on personal physical appearance in the society, the Board expects there will be continuous growths in demand for medical skin care services, and considers that opening of the new Medicskin Centre in a new location will expand the Group’s service scale, broaden the Group’s customer base and enhance the Group’s market position so as to broaden the Group’s revenue stream, and thus be in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE PROPERTY
APPENDIX II
PROFIT AND LOSS STATEMENT OF THE PROPERTY
Pursuant to Rule 19.67(6)(b)(i) of the GEM Listing Rules, a circular issued in relation to an acquisition constituting a major transaction must certain a profit and loss statement of the Property for the three preceding financial years ended 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016 (the ‘‘Relevant Financial Years’’) on identifiable net income stream and valuation in relation to the Property which must be reviewed by the auditor or reporting accountant to ensure that such information has been properly compiled and derived from the underlying books and records.
The Property was used by the Vendor for its own use for the period from 1 April 2013 to 21 February 2016. The Property is currently let to a third party. Except for a copy of the Lease for a term commencing on 22 February 2016 and expiring on 21 February 2018, despite requests made by the Company with the Vendor, the Vendor has not agreed to grant permission for the Group to gain full access to the underlying books and records or other financial information regarding the direct costs and other expenses for the preparation of the financial information of the Property for the Relevant Financial Years except the Lease and some information regarding the Property, such as the recent demand note for rates from January to March 2017, debit note for management fee for February 2017, electricity bill from 11 January to 9 February 2017 and water bill from 16 July to 14 November 2016 provided by the tenant (the ‘‘Supporting Documents’’). The Group is unable to comply the disclosure requirement under Rule 19.67(6)(b)(i) of the GEM Listing Rules.
The Company has therefore applied to the Stock Exchange for a waiver from strict compliance with the Rule 19.67(6)(b)(i), such that the following information be disclosed instead. The financial information of the Property for each Relevant Financial Year set out below has been prepared by the Directors solely based on the terms of the Lease and the experience of the Group and/or the Company’s management in the property industry. Dr. Kong, the executive Director and chairman of the Company, has experience in the property industry for over 10 years. Accordingly, it may not give a true picture of the performance of the Property actually occurred during the Relevant Financial Years.
Pursuant to the Lease, which has a fixed term of two years commencing on 22 February 2016 and expiring on 21 February 2018, the monthly rental is HK$86,000 (exclusive of management fee, air conditioning fee and government rent and rates and other operating outgoings). Gross rental income for the period from 22 February 2016 (date of commencement of the Lease) to 31 March 2016 amounted to approximately HK$28,000. There was no rental income generated by the Property for the financial years ended 31 March 2014 and 2015. The rental income generated by the Property for the nine months ended 31 December 2016 was approximately HK$688,000.
– 12 –
UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE PROPERTY
APPENDIX II
Pursuant to the Lease, the tenant is responsible for management fee, air conditioning fee and government rent and rates and other operating outgoings. The estimated expenses paid and payable by the Vendor in respect of the three financial years ended 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016 and the nine months ended 31 December 2016 would be approximately HK$169,000, HK$172,000, HK$156,000 and nil respectively. The estimated expenses paid and payable by the Vendor were determined with reference to the terms of the Lease, the Supporting Documents and rates concession of the relevant fiscal years, with the assumptions that except for the rates, the relevant expenses remained the same through the years and incurred evenly in a year. The natures of the expenses paid and payable by the Vendor during the three financial years ended 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016 included management fee, government rates, electricity and water. The estimated expenses paid and payable by the tenant in respect of the period from 22 February 2016 (date of commencement of the Lease) to 31 March 2016 and the nine months ended 31 December 2016 would be approximately HK$14,000 and HK$128,000 respectively. The estimated expenses paid and payable by the tenant were determined with reference to the terms of the Lease and the Supporting Documents.
Save for the above limited information, the Directors are unable to ascertain the amount of expenses in relation to the Property. Accordingly, no expenses such as depreciation, repair and maintenance, and finance costs were included in the above estimation. The information set out above is prepared using accounting policies which are materially consistent with those of the Company.
Notes:
In accordance with the Rule 19.67(6)(b)(i) of the GEM Listing Rules, the Directors engaged Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, the auditor of the Company to conduct certain agreed upon procedures in respect of the rental income of the Property, in accordance with the Hong Kong Standard on Related Services 4400 ‘‘Engagements to Perform Agreed-Upon Procedures Regarding Financial Information’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the ‘‘HKICPA’’). The procedures were performed solely to assist the Directors in evaluating the accuracy of the gross rental income from the Property, and are summarised as follows:
-
The auditor obtained the schedule setting out the address, names of lessor and lessee, rental period, monthly rent and gross rental income for the three years ended 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016 from the management of the Company (the ‘‘Gross Rental Income Summary’’) and checked the arithmetical accuracy of the total Gross Rental Income for the three years ended 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016. The Gross Rental Income Summary was prepared by and the sole responsibility of the Directors.
-
From the Gross Rental Income Summary, the auditor agreed the address, names of the lessor and lessee, rental period and monthly rent (the ‘‘Particulars’’) to the Lease provided by the Vendor. The auditor of the Company report its findings below:
-
a. With respect to procedure 1, the auditor found the total Gross Rental Income for the three years ended 31 March 2014, 2015 and 2016 included in the Gross Rental Income Summary to be arithmetically accurate.
-
b. With respect to procedure 2, from the Gross Rental Income Summary, the auditor found the Particulars to be in agreement with the relevant Lease.
– 13 –
UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE PROPERTY
APPENDIX II
Because the above procedures do not constitute an assurance engagement performed in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing, Hong Kong Standards on Review Engagements or Hong Kong Standards on Assurance Engagements issued by the HKICPA, the auditor of the Company does not express any assurance on the Gross Rental Income and the Gross Rental Income Summary. Had the auditor performed additional procedures or had the auditor performed an assurance engagement of the Gross Rental Income and the Gross Rental Income Summary in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing, Hong Kong Standards on Review Engagements or Hong Kong Standards on Assurance Engagements issued by HKICPA, other matters might have come to the auditor’s attention that would have been reported to the Directors.
The Directors consider the omission of a profit and loss statement for the Property’s net income stream for the Relevant Financial Years would not render this circular materially incomplete or misleading or deceptive.

We have caused searches to be made at the appropriate Land Registry for the Property. 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.
According to the Land Registry records, the registered owner of the Property is Affirm Motion Limited.
VALUATION METHODOLOGY
The Property is valued by the comparison method where comparison based on prices realised or market prices of comparable properties is made. Comparable properties of similar size, character and location are analysed and carefully weighed against all the respective advantages and disadvantages of each property in order to arrive at a fair comparison of capital values.
ASSUMPTIONS
Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the Group sell the Property on the market in their existing states without the benefit of deferred terms contracts, leaseback, joint ventures, management agreements or any similar arrangement which would serve to affect the value of the Property.
As the Property is held by the owner by means of long term Government lease, we have assumed that the owner has a free and uninterrupted right to use the Property for the whole of the unexpired term of its Government lease.
Other special assumptions for our valuation (if any) would be stated out in the footnotes of the valuation certificate attached herewith.
LIMITING CONDITIONS
No allowance has been made in our report for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the Property valued nor for any expenses or taxation. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the Property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect their values.
We have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the Group and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as tenure, planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, particulars of occupancy, lettings, and all other relevant matters.

APPENDIX III
We have not carried out detailed site measurements to verify the correctness of the floor areas in respect of the Property but have assumed that the floor areas shown on the legal documents handed to us are correct. All documents and contracts have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations.
The Property were last inspected on 16 February 2017 by Mr. YANG Junhao, who is a probationer member of Royal Institutions of Chartered Surveyors and an employee of us. However, no structural survey has been made for them. In the course of our inspection, we did not note any apparent defects. We are not, however, able to report whether the buildings and structures inspected by us are free of rot, infestation or any structural defect. No test was carried out on any of the building services and equipment.
We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Group. We have also sought confirmation from the Group that no material factors have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view, and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.
In valuing the Property, we have complied with all the requirements contained in Chapter 8 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.
We enclose herewith our valuation certificate.
Yours faithfully, for and on behalf of Asset Appraisal Limited

The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities is prepared based on the unaudited consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 30 September 2016 which has been extracted from the Group’s interim report for the six months ended 30 September 2016 issued on 11 November 2016, and after making pro forma adjustment relating to the Acquisition that are (i) directly attributable to the Acquisition; and (ii) factually supportable as if the Acquisition had been undertaken as at 30 September 2016.

The following is the text of the assurance report received from Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, Certified Public Accountants of our Company, in respect of the Group’s unaudited pro forma financial information prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this circular.
INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
TO THE DIRECTORS OF MEDICSKIN HOLDINGS LIMITED
We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of unaudited pro forma financial information of Medicskin Holdings Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the ‘‘Group’’), by the directors of the Company (the ‘‘Directors’’) for illustrative purposes only. The unaudited pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities as at 30 September 2016 and related notes as set out on pages 19 to 21 of the circular issued by the Company dated 14 March 2017 (the ‘‘Circular’’) in connection with the major acquisition of a property (the ‘‘Acquisition’’). The applicable criteria on the basis of which the Directors have compiled the unaudited pro forma financial information are described on pages 19 to 21 of the Circular.
The unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the Acquisition on the Group’s financial position as at 30 September 2016 as if the Acquisition 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 consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2016, on which no auditor’s report or review report has been published.
Directors’ responsibilities for the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The Directors are responsible for compiling the unaudited pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 7.31 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘GEM Listing Rules’’) and with reference to Accounting Guideline 7 ‘‘Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars’’ (‘‘AG7’’) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the ‘‘HKICPA’’).

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.
Our firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 ‘‘Quality Control for Firms that Perform Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance and Related Services Engagements’’ issued by the HKICPA 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 7.31(7) of the GEM Listing Rules, on the unaudited 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 unaudited 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 accountants plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Directors have compiled the unaudited pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 7.31 of the GEM 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 unaudited 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 unaudited pro forma financial information.
The purpose of unaudited 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.

APPENDIX IV
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the unaudited pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the Directors in the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:
-
The related unaudited pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and
-
The unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.
The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountants’ judgment, having regard to the reporting accountants’ understanding of the nature of the Group, the event or transaction in respect of which the unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.
The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the unaudited 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 unaudited 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 unaudited pro forma financial information as disclosed pursuant to paragraph 7.31(1) of the GEM Listing Rules.
