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

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 of the Stock Exchange 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 report, 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 report.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

BUSINESS REVIEW

During the three months ended 30 June 2018, the Group engaged in the provision of casual dining in Hong Kong. In April 2018, the premises of our restaurant in Shatin was returned to the landlord upon the expiry of the lease. As at 30 June 2018 and up to the date of this report, we owned and operated 12 restaurants serving various cuisines. During the three months ended 30 June 2018, we recorded a revenue of approximately HK$66.6 million, representing an increase of approximately 9.0% from approximately HK$61.1 million for the three months ended 30 June 2017.

The issued Shares were successfully listed on GEM on 16 April 2018 (the “ Listing Date ”). Net proceeds of approximately HK$39.6 million were raised and our Group will carry out our business objectives, strategies and implementation plans with this additional financial resource.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Revenue

Our revenue is mainly derived from restaurant operations. For the three months ended 30 June 2018, our revenue achieved approximately HK$66.6 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$5.5 million, or 9.0%, from approximately HK$61.1 million for the three months ended 30 June 2017. The increase in revenue was mainly due to the contributions by our restaurant at East Point City in Tseung Kwan O (“ MS(EP) ”) which commenced operation in January 2018.

Cost of inventories sold

Cost of inventories sold is a major component of our operating expenses and comprises mainly cost of food ingredients and beverages. For the three months ended 30 June 2018, our cost of inventories sold amounted to approximately HK$22.1 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$1.5 million, or 7.3%, from approximately HK$20.6 million for the three months ended 30 June 2017. The increase in cost of inventories sold was mainly due to the consumption by MS(EP) which commenced operation in January 2018.

Gross profit and gross profit margin

Our gross profit for the three months ended 30 June 2018 amounted to approximately HK$44.6 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$4.1 million, or 10.1%, from approximately HK$40.5 million for the three months ended 30 June 2017. The increase in gross profit was mainly due to the contribution by MS(EP) which commenced operation in January 2018.

The overall gross profit margin increased from approximately 66.3% for the three months ended 30 June 2017 to approximately 67.0% for the three months ended 30 June 2018. The increase in overall gross profit margin was mainly due to the commencement of operation of MS(EP) which is operating under our “Mr. Steak” brand with a generally higher gross profit margin.

Other revenue and other income

Other revenue and other income primarily consist of tips income, sponsorship income and sundry income. Our other revenue increased by approximately HK$0.1 million, or 50.0%, from approximately HK$0.2 million for the three months ended 30 June 2017 to approximately HK$0.3 million for the three months ended 30 June 2018. The increase in other revenue and other income was mainly due to an increase in sponsorship income.

Staff costs

Staff costs comprise salaries and benefits, including wages, salaries, bonuses, staff benefits, retirement benefit scheme contributions for all employees and Directors’ remunerations. Our staff costs increased by approximately HK$2.6 million, or 15.5%, from approximately HK$16.8 million for the three months ended 30 June 2017 to approximately HK$19.4 million for the three months ended 30 June 2018. The increase in staff costs was mainly due to the increased headcount arising from the commencement of operation of MS(EP) in January 2018 and the payment of additional Directors’ remunerations resulting from an increase in the number of Directors after our Listing. For the three months ended 30 June 2017 and 2018, our staff costs represented approximately 27.5% and 29.1% of our revenue, respectively.

MS CONCEPT LIMITED FIRST QUARTERLY REPORT 2018

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment represents depreciation charges for our property, plant and equipment which comprise leasehold improvement, furniture and fixtures, catering and other equipment. Our depreciation of property, plant and equipment maintained at approximately HK$1.4 million for the three months ended 30 June 2017 and 2018. As a percentage of revenue, our depreciation of property, plant and equipment represented approximately 2.3% and 2.1% for the corresponding periods, respectively.

Rentals and related expenses

Rentals and related expenses primarily represent the rental payments under operating leases, government rates and property management fee paid for our restaurants and office premises. Our rental and related expense increased by approximately HK$0.4 million, or 3.0%, from approximately HK$13.5 million for the three months ended 30 June 2017 to approximately HK$13.9 million for the three months ended 30 June 2018. The increase in rental and related expenses was mainly due to the lease of restaurant floor areas by MS(EP) which commenced operation in January 2018. For the three months ended 30 June 2017 and 2018, our rentals and related expenses represented approximately 22.1% and 20.9% of our revenue, respectively.

Fuel and utility expenses

Fuel and utility expenses primarily consist of expenses incurred for electricity, gas and water utilities. Our fuel and utility expenses increased by approximately HK$0.1 million, or 7.7%, from approximately HK$1.3 million for the three months ended 30 June 2017 to approximately HK$1.4 million for the three months ended 30 June 2018. For the three months ended 30 June 2017 and 2018, our fuel and utility expenses represented approximately 2.1% of our revenue.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses mainly include credit card handling charges, advertising and promotion expenses for our brands, cleaning expenses for both our restaurants and office premises, consumables for our restaurant operations, legal and professional fees and insurance. Our administrative expenses increased by approximately HK$2.1 million, or 47.7%, from approximately HK$4.4 million for the three months ended 30 June 2017 to approximately HK$6.5 million for the three months ended 30 June 2018. The increase in administrative expenses was mainly due to the increase in credit card handling charges resulting from the increase in revenue with credit payments by customers, the increase in auditors’ remunerations and professional fees including company secretarial expenses, legal adviser fee, compliance adviser fee and report printing charges, after the Listing on 16 April 2018 and the reinstatement cost of the restaurant premises at Shatin upon the expiration of its lease in April 2018.

MS CONCEPT LIMITED FIRST QUARTERLY REPORT 2018

Finance costs

Finance costs mainly represent interest on our bank borrowings. Our finance costs remained at a stable level with approximately HK$0.2 million for the three months ended 30 June 2017 and 2018.

Income tax expense

Our restaurant operations in Hong Kong are subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax of 8.25% on estimated assessable profits up to HK$2 million and 16.5% on any part of the estimated assessable profits over HK$2 million arising in Hong Kong for the three months ended 30 June 2018.

Our income tax expenses decreased by approximately HK$0.3 million, or 60.0%, from approximately HK$0.5 million for the three months ended 30 June 2017 to approximately HK$0.2 million for the three months ended 30 June 2018. Excluding the IPO listing and related expenses, our profit from operations before taxation amounted to approximately HK$3.1 million and HK$2.1 million and the effective tax rate was approximately 16.1% and 9.5% for the three months ended 30 June 2017 and 2018, respectively. The decrease in effective tax rate was mainly due to a change in the basis of applicable Profits Tax rates by the Inland Revenue Department since the year of assessment 2018/19.

Loss for the period

We recorded a loss for the period amounting to approximately HK$5.4 million as a result of the recognition of the IPO listing and related expenses amounting to approximately HK$7.3 million. Excluding the non-recurring IPO listing and related expenses, our net profit from operation amounted to approximately HK$1.9 million for the three months ended 30 June 2018, representing a decrease of approximately HK$0.7 million, or 26.9%, from approximately HK$2.6 million for the three months ended 30 June 2017 as a result of the combined effects discussed above.

SHARE OPTION SCHEME

A share option scheme (the “ Share Option Scheme ”) was conditionally approved by the then Shareholder and adopted by the Company on 23 March 2018. The Share Option Scheme became effective on the Listing Date. For the principal terms of the Share Option Scheme, please refer to “D. Share Option Scheme” in Appendix IV to the Prospectus.

No share options have been granted by the Company under the Share Option Scheme since its adoption and therefore, as at 30 June 2018, there were no outstanding share options and no share options were exercised or cancelled or lapsed during the period from the Listing Date to 30 June 2018 (the “ Period ”).

COMPETITION AND CONFLICT OF INTERESTS

The Directors are not aware of any business and interest of the Directors nor the controlling shareholders of the Company or any of their respective close associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) that competed or might compete, directly or indirectly, with the business of the Group and any other conflict of interests which any such person had or might have with the Group during the three months ended 30 June 2018.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

The Board recognises the importance of incorporating elements of good corporate governance in the management structures, internal control and risk management procedures of the Group so as to achieve effective accountability. As the Shares in issue were initially listed on GEM on the Listing Date, the Corporate Governance Code as contained in Appendix 15 to the GEM Listing Rules (the “ CG Code ”) was not applicable to the Company for the period from 1 to 15 April 2018, being the period before the Listing Date. In the opinion of the Board, the Company has adopted and complied with all applicable code provisions as set out in the CG Code during the Period and thereafter up to 10 August 2018, being the date of this report, except for the following code provision A.2.1 of the CG Code.

Chairman and Chief Executive

Code provision A.2.1 of the CG Code stipulates that the roles of chairman and chief executive should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual. During the Period, Mr. Kwong was the Chairman and the CEO. In view of the fact that Mr. Kwong has been operating and managing the Group since 2000, the Board believes that it is in the best interest of the Group to have Mr. Kwong taking up both roles for effective management and business development. Therefore, our Board considers that the deviation from code provision A.2.1 of the CG Code is appropriate in such circumstance.
