The Company is pleased to announce that the Stock Exchange decided to allow the Company to proceed with the Resumption Proposal subject to the Resumption Conditions to be fulfilled by 31 July 2013.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD AND THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

(2) CAPITAL RESTRUCTURING AND CHANGE OF BOARD LOT SIZE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorized share capital of the Company was HK$500,000,000 divided into 5,000,000,000 Shares of which, 3,569,364,916 Shares had been issued and have been fully paid or credited as fully paid.

The Company proposes to effect the Capital Restructuring which involves:–

  • (i) Share Consolidation: every one hundred (100) issued Shares of par value of HK$0.10 each will be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of par value of HK$10.00 each;

  • (ii) Capital Reduction: the par value of every Consolidated Share will be reduced from HK$10.00 to HK$0.01 and become a New Share; and

  • (iii) Share Subdivision: each of the authorized but unissued Shares will be subdivided into ten (10) Subdivided Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each.

Assuming no further Shares will be issued from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the SGM, there will be approximately 35,693,649 New Shares of HK$0.01 each in issue which are fully paid or credited as fully paid when the Capital Restructuring becomes effective.

For the avoidance of doubt, the authorized share capital of the Company will be HK$500 million comprising 50,000,000,000 New Shares after the Capital Restructuring.

Conditions of the Capital Restructuring

The Capital Restructuring is conditional upon:–

  • (i) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Capital Restructuring at the SGM;

  • (ii) the Listing Committee granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares in issue arising from the Capital Restructuring;

  • (iii) the Debt Restructuring, the Open Offer and the Subscription becoming unconditional (other than the conditions precedent of the Debt Restructuring, the Open Offer and the Subscription in relation to the Capital Restructuring becoming unconditional); and

  • (iv) the Scheme becoming effective and binding on all Creditors.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, condition (iv) of the above has been satisfied.

Effect and reason of the Capital Restructuring

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorized share capital of the Company was HK$500,000,000 divided into 5,000,000,000 Shares of which, 3,569,364,916 Shares had been issued and have been fully paid or credited as fully paid. Subject to the approval of the Capital

– 17 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD AND THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

Restructuring by the Shareholders, the authorized share capital of the Company upon the Capital Restructuring becoming effective will be HK$500 million comprising 50,000,000,000 New Shares of which approximately 35,693,649 New Shares will be in issue.

Upon completion of the Capital Restructuring, the Company will have greater flexibility for future fundraising activities. Furthermore, on the assumption that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased before the Capital Restructuring becoming effective, the existing paid-up capital of the Company will be reduced from approximately HK$356.9 million to approximately HK$356,936 and generating a credit of approximately HK$356.6 million as a result of the Capital Reduction which will be applied in a manner as permitted by the Companies Act, including but not limited to eliminating part of the outstanding accumulated losses of the Company, which was approximately HK$2,481 million as at 31 March 2013.

The Capital Restructuring will also reduce the total number of Shares currently in issue. As such, the transaction and handling costs of the Company in relation to the dealings in the New Shares are expected to be reduced, which will be beneficial to the Company. Moreover, as the market value of each board lot upon the Capital Restructuring becoming effective will be higher than the market value of each existing board lot, the transaction cost as a proportion of the market value of each board lot will be lower.

Save for the necessary professional expenses, the implementation of the Capital Restructuring will not alter the underlying assets, business operation, management position of the Company and the interests and rights of the Shareholders.

Accordingly, the Board is of the view that the Capital Restructuring is beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Status of the New Shares

The New Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other and the Capital Restructuring will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders. Fractional New Shares will not be issued by the Company to the Shareholders. Any fractional entitlement to the New Shares will be aggregated, sold and retained for the benefit of the Company.

Arrangement on odd lot trading

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the New Shares, the Company has appointed Pacific Foundation Securities Limited to provide matching service, on a best effort basis, to those Shareholders who wish to acquire odd lots of the New Shares to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holding of odd lots of the New Shares.

Matching of odd lots of the New Shares arising from the Capital Restructuring will commence from 9:00 a.m. on Monday, 16 September 2013 and will end at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 9 October 2013.

Exchange of Shares certificates

Subject to the Capital Restructuring becoming effective, which is expected to be 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, 12 September 2013, Shareholders may, on or after Thursday, 12 September 2013 until 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, 17 October 2013 (both days inclusive), submit share certificates

LETTER FROM THE BOARD AND THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

in grey for existing Shares to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited, 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, to exchange, at the expense of the Company, for certificates in pink of the New Shares. It is expected that the New Shares certificates will be available for collection within ten (10) Business Days after the submission of the existing Share certificates to the Registrar for exchange.

From Friday, 18 October 2013 onwards, existing certificates of the Shares will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such other amount as may from time to time be specified by the Stock Exchange) by the Shareholders for each certificate issued or cancelled, whichever is higher. Existing certificates for the Shares will remain effective as documents of title but will not be accepted for delivery, trading and settlement purpose and may be exchanged for certificates in pink for New Shares at any time.

Change of board lot size

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Shares were traded in board lots of 2,000 Shares. It is proposed that the New Shares will be changed to be traded in board lots of 20,000 New Shares upon the Capital Restructuring becoming effective. The expected board lot value per board lot will initially be approximately HK$3,000.

(3) DEBT RESTRUCTURING

Based on the notices of claim received, the claims owed by the Company to the Creditors as at the Effective Date amounts to approximately HK$1,891 million, subject to determination by the Scheme Administrators in accordance with the Scheme. The indebtedness figure stated above is indicative only and any distribution made to the Creditors are ultimately subject to the claim determination procedures under the Scheme.

The Scheme

Under the Scheme, upon completion of the Subscription, all the indebtedness and liabilities of the Company owing to the Creditors as at the Effective Date (including but not limited to liabilities under the Existing Convertibles and any guarantee or indemnity given by the Company but excluding the Working Capital Loans which will be fully settled from the proceeds of the Subscription and the Open Offer upon Completion) will be discharged and released in full as against the Company and the SchemeCo shall accept and assume an equivalent liability in place of the Company in respect of the Admitted Claims. On completion of the Subscription, the following Scheme Assets will be paid or transferred to the SchemeCo as applicable and where they comprise of assets other than cash, such assets shall be realized by the Scheme Administrators for distribution to the Creditors with Admitted Claims in accordance with the terms of the Scheme:

  • (i) cash and cash equivalent of the Company as of the Effective Date of approximately HK$7.0 million;

– 19 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD AND THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

  • (ii) cash payment of HK$50 million, which will be funded by the Company out of the proceeds of the Subscription;

  • (iii) 66,133,333 Creditor Shares be issued to the SchemeCo and credited as fully paid, representing approximately 5% of issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares, the Bonus Shares, the Creditor Shares and the Offer Shares. The value of Creditor Shares is dependent on the prevailing market condition at the time of its realization by the Scheme Administrators under the Scheme. Assuming the Creditor Shares are realized at an average price of HK$0.15 per share, which is the same as the Subscription Price and the Offer Price, realization proceeds before payment of any costs will be approximately HK$9.9 million;

  • (iv) upon completion of the Subscription, the issued shares of the Excluded Subsidiaries, which will be transferred to the SchemeCo in accordance with the terms of the Scheme. The transfer will be at a nominal consideration of HK$1 as a term of the Scheme. The Scheme Administrators shall take such steps as are appropriate, having regard to the potential costs of and benefits from such steps, to recover any amounts which may be realized from the Excluded Subsidiaries and their assets. It is estimated that the proceeds from the realization available for distribution to the Creditors with Admitted Claims before any costs are approximately HK$50.9 million. As a result of the Disposal, the Excluded Subsidiaries will cease to be subsidiaries of the Company and their results will not be consolidated in the consolidated financial statements of the Group after the completion of the Subscription; and

  • (v) to the extent not already mentioned above the Excluded Items.

Upon completion of the Subscription, the liabilities under the Existing Convertibles (the holders of which are among the Creditors with Admitted Claims) will be discharged and released and the rights attaching to them to convert into Shares will cease and will no longer be exercisable and the Existing Convertibles will no longer be convertible into the Shares.

The Provisional Liquidators are of the view that the Disposal forms part of the proposed Restructuring of the Company involving, inter alia , Debt Restructuring by way of the Scheme, which will fully discharge the Company from all its liabilities owing to the Excluded Subsidiaries and the Excluded Subsidiaries will also be disposed of and/or deconsolidated from the Group.

The Group is insolvent based on the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Group with net liabilities of approximately HK$1,579 million as at 31 March 2013. If the Debt Restructuring is not successful, the Group will be placed into insolvent liquidation, by which all assets of the Company will be realized for the benefit of the Creditors. The Provisional Liquidators therefore consider that the Disposal at a consideration of HK$1 is fair and reasonable and is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD AND THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

At the Scheme Meeting that was held on 7 September 2011, the Scheme was duly approved by more than 50% in number representing not less than 75% in value of the indebtedness of all the Creditors who attended either in person or by proxy. On 3 November 2011, the Scheme was sanctioned by the Hong Kong Court and became effective on 11 November 2011 (i.e. the Effective Date) by virtue of the delivery of an official copy of the order of the Hong Kong Court sanctioning the Scheme to the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong for registration.

Any indebtedness or liabilities of the Company as at the Effective Date will be, under the effect of the Scheme, discharged and released in full upon the completion of the Subscription.

After the Effective Date, the Scheme Administrators had issued notices to all possible Creditors whom they had knowledge, to notify them to deliver a notice of claim for dividend purposes to prove their claims, if any, against the Company as at the Effective Date, the same notice was also published in two local newspapers Sing Tao Daily and The Standard on 6 February 2012.

The Scheme Administrators are now in the process of determination of the claims received from the Creditors.

In such case, the Company will be placed into liquidation by the Hong Kong Court.

For the avoidance of doubt, the holders of the Creditor Shares (i) are not entitled to subscribe for the Offer Shares under the Open Offer; and (ii) are not entitled to be issued with Bonus Shares under the Bonus Issue since the Creditor Shares will only be issued immediately after completion of the Open Offer and Bonus Issue.

Conditions precedent

All the indebtedness and liabilities of the Company owing to the Creditors as at the Effective Date will be discharged and released in full upon the completion of the Subscription which will be subject to, among other things, the satisfaction or waiver (as the case may be) of following conditions:–

  • (i) the Capital Restructuring becoming effective;

  • (ii) the Scheme (together with all necessary modifications) being approved by the requisite majority of the Creditors at the Scheme Meeting and sanctioned by the Hong Kong Court;

  • (iii) granting of the Whitewash Waiver by the SFC and approval by the Independent Shareholders of such Whitewash Waiver by way of poll at the SGM;

– 21 –

  • (d) all transactions contemplated under the Subscription and subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders;

  • (vi) the Stock Exchange having granted the listing of and permission to deal in the New Shares, including the Bonus Shares, the Creditor Shares, the Subscription Shares and the Offer Shares;

As at the Latest Practicable Date, condition (ii) has been satisfied and the Stock Exchange has approved the Resumption subject to the satisfaction of the Resumption Conditions. All of the above conditions are not waivable.

(4) FUNDRAISING BY WAYS OF THE OPEN OFFER AND THE SUBSCRIPTION; AND APPLICATION FOR WHITEWASH WAIVER AND SPECIAL DEALS

A. Open Offer

Information on the Open Offer

Basis of the Open Offer:

In the proportion of five (5) Offer Shares for every one (1) New Share held as at the close of business on the Record Date (equivalent to one (1) Offer Share for every twenty (20) existing Shares)

– 22 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD AND THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

Offer Price: HK$0.15 per Offer Share
Number of Shares in issue as at the 3,569,364,916 Shares (equivalent to
Latest Practicable Date: approximately 35,693,649 New
Shares assuming the Capital
Restructuring becoming effective)
Number of Offer Shares: 178,468,245 Offer Shares
Underwriter: Pacific Foundation Securities Limited

The Company has no outstanding options, warrants, derivatives or convertible securities in issue which confer any rights to subscribe for, convert or exchange into the Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The Company has not procured any undertaking and has not received any undertaking provided by any Shareholders to subscribe for his entitlement under the Open Offer or any arrangement that may have an effect on the Open Offer.

Offer Price

The Offer Price of HK$0.15 per Offer Share represents a discount of approximately 89.29% to the closing price of HK$0.014 per Share (equivalent to HK$1.40 per New Share assuming the Capital Restructuring becoming effective) as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day.

Trading of Shares had been suspended since 17 September 2008, the Company and the Provisional Liquidators had upon arm’s length negotiation, agreed with the Underwriter that the Offer Price should represent a substantial discount to the closing price before the Suspension so as to incentivize the Qualifying Shareholders to take up their entitlements under the Open Offer. Each Qualifying Shareholder is entitled to subscribe for the Offer Shares at the same price in proportion to his shareholding in the Company as at the Record Date. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider the Offer Price is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

Offer Shares

Assuming the Capital Restructuring becoming effective, the 178,468,245 Offer Shares represent: (i) 5 times of the total number of issued New Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date; (ii) approximately 83.33% of the total number of issued New Shares as enlarged by the Offer Shares; and (iii) approximately 13.50% of the total number of issued New Shares as enlarged by the Offer Shares, the Subscription Shares, the Bonus Shares and the Creditor Shares.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Offer Shares validly applied for by the Qualifying Shareholders will not be entitled to the Bonus Shares under the Bonus Issue since the Offer Shares will only be issued conditional upon and immediately after completion of the Bonus Issue.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD AND THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

Qualifying Shareholders

The Open Offer is only available to the Qualifying Shareholders. The Company will send: (i) the Prospectus Documents to the Qualifying Shareholders; and (ii) if and to the extent legally and practically permissible, the Prospectus, for information purposes only, to the Excluded Shareholders.

To qualify for the Open Offer, a Shareholder must, at the close of business on the Record Date:

  • (i) be registered as a member of the Company on the register of members of the Company; and

  • (ii) not be an Excluded Shareholder.

In order to be registered as a member of the Company on the Record Date, Shareholders must validly lodge any transfer of the Shares (with the relevant share certificate(s) and other necessary documents) with Tricor Tengis Limited at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong by 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, 22 August 2013.

Rights of the Excluded Shareholders

The Prospectus Documents are not intended to be registered under the applicable securities legislation of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong and Bermuda. Accordingly, the Prospectus Documents will not be registered or filed under the applicable securities or equivalent legislation of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong and, if necessary, Bermuda. Shareholders whose address on the register of members of the Company is in a place outside Hong Kong, may not be eligible to take part in the Open Offer. The Company will send the Prospectus (but not the Application Form), for information purposes only, to the Excluded Shareholders (if any), if and to the extent legally and practically permissible.

Having reviewed the register of members as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company noted that there was one Overseas Shareholder whose address on the register of members was in Taiwan. Pursuant to Rule 13.36(2) of the Listing Rules, the Directors and the Provisional Liquidators have made enquiry regarding the legal restrictions and the requirements of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange with respect to the issue of the Offer Shares and the Bonus Shares to this Overseas Shareholder whose address is in Taiwan and based on the current legal opinion provided by the legal advisers of the Company as to Taiwan laws, the Directors and the Provisional Liquidators have formed the view that it is expedient for the Offer Shares and the Bonus Shares to be offered to the Overseas Shareholder in Taiwan as no local legal or regulatory compliance is required to be made in this jurisdiction. Consequently, the Overseas Shareholder whose address is in Taiwan will become a Qualifying Shareholder.

– 24 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD AND THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

Notwithstanding the above, as at the Record Date, if there is any Shareholder who becomes Overseas Shareholder, the Directors and the Provisional Liquidators will make further enquiries pursuant to Rule 13.36(2) of the Listing Rules before the despatch of the Prospectus Documents to confirm whether other Overseas Shareholder(s), if any, will be regarded as Qualifying Shareholder(s) or Excluded Shareholder(s).

Closure of register of members

The Company’s register of members will be closed from Friday, 23 August 2013 to Monday, 26 August 2013 both dates inclusive, for the purpose of, among other things, establishing entitlements to the Open Offer. No transfer of Shares will be registered during this period.

Nil-paid entitlements

The provisional allotments under the Open Offer on an assured basis are not transferable nor are they capable of renunciation. No listing on the Stock Exchange will be sought for the nil-paid entitlements.

No application for excess Offer Shares

The Qualifying Shareholders will not be entitled to subscribe for any Offer Share in excess of their respective assured entitlements. Considering that each Qualifying Shareholder will be given an equal opportunity to participate in the Company’s future development by subscribing for his entitlements under the Open Offer, the Directors (including the independent nonexecutive Directors) consider that the Company will not be justified in making additional effort and incurring additional costs to administer the excess application procedures. All Offer Shares not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders will be underwritten by the Underwriter.

Fractions of Offer Shares

Fractional entitlements to the Offer Shares will not be issued but will be aggregated and taken up by the Underwriter. The Company will not allot any fractions of Offer Shares. No odd lot matching services will be provided by the Company in respect of the Open Offer before Resumption. Matching of odd lots of the New Shares will be available from 9:00 a.m. on the date of Resumption, i.e. Monday, 16 September 2013 until 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 9 October 2013.

Certificates and refund cheques for the Offer Shares

Subject to the Open Offer becoming unconditional, certificates for all fully-paid Offer Shares shall be despatched by ordinary post to those Qualifying Shareholders who have accepted and paid for their Offer Shares, at their own risk. Refund cheques in respect of the Offer Shares if the Open Offer is terminated shall be despatched by ordinary post to the applicants at their own risk.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD AND THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

None of the above conditions can be waived. In the event that the above conditions have not been satisfied on or before the Latest Time for Termination (or such later date as the Company, the Provisional Liquidators and the Underwriter may agree), all liabilities of the parties under the Underwriting Agreement shall cease and determine and no party shall have any claim against any other party other than for any antecedent breach.

Reasons for the Open Offer

The Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) considers that the Open Offer is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole as it offers all the Qualifying Shareholders an equal opportunity to participate in the enlargement of the capital base of the Company and enables the Qualifying Shareholders to continue to participate in the future development of the Group upon completion of all the transactions contemplated under the Resumption Proposal should they wish to do so.

Furthermore, the Open Offer allows the Company to credit part of the net proceeds raised from the Open Offer in the sum of HK$713,872.98 (or such sum as may be necessary to give effect to the Bonus Issue) to the share premium account of the Company and apply such amount to pay up in full at par the Bonus Shares such that the Bonus Shares will be allotted, issued and credited as fully paid to the Qualifying Shareholders.

Based on the closing price of HK$0.014 per Share (equivalent to HK$1.4 per New Share assuming the Capital Restructuring becoming effective) as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day, the theoretical ex-entitlement price per New Share (assuming the Capital Restructuring becoming effective) after the Open Offer is approximately HK$0.3583, representing a discount of approximately 74.41% to the adjusted closing price of HK$1.4 per New Share (assuming the Capital Restructuring becoming effective).

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Open Offer (including the underwriting commission of 2.5%) is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole having taken into account the terms of the Open Offer.

WARNING OF THE RISKS OF DEALING IN THE SHARES

The Open Offer is conditional, inter alia, upon the fulfillment of the conditions set out in the section headed “Conditions of the Open Offer” in this circular. In particular, the Open Offer is conditional upon the approval of the Open Offer by the Independent Shareholders at the SGM by way of poll, the Underwriting Agreement having become unconditional and the Underwriter not having terminated the Underwriting Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof as set out in the paragraph headed “Termination of the Underwriting Agreement” in this circular. Accordingly, the Open Offer may or may not proceed. Shareholders should therefore exercise extreme caution when dealing in the Shares/New Shares, and if they are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their professional advisers.

The Investor may further increase their shareholdings in the Company without incurring any further obligations under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code to make a general offer.

Any realizations to be made from the Excluded Subsidiaries and their assets will be distributed to the Creditors with Admitted Claims in accordance with the terms of the Scheme. The arrangement is not extended to all Shareholders and therefore the Disposal constitutes a special deal under note 4 to Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code.

The Company has made an application to the Executive for the consent, under Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code in respect of (i) the settlement of debts due by the Company to the Creditors with Admitted Claims who are also Shareholders and/or their associates; and (ii) the Disposal under the Scheme which will be subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the SGM by way of poll and provided that the independent financial adviser to the Company publicly states that in its opinion the terms of the settlement of debts to the Interested Shareholders and their associates are at arm’s length and on normal commercial terms and the Disposal is fair and reasonable.

On the basis of 3,569,364,916 Shares in issue (equivalent to approximately 35,693,649 New Shares assuming Capital Restructuring becoming effective), up to 71,387,298 Bonus Shares would be issued.

– 38 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD AND THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

Under the Open Offer, the Offer Shares will be issued at a premium of HK$0.14 each Offer Share to their par value. The Company proposes to apply part of the premium raised from the Open Offer, up to the sum of HK$713,872.98 (or such sum as may be necessary to give effect to the Bonus Issue) standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company immediately after the Open Offer, to pay up in full at par the Bonus Shares such that the Bonus Shares will be allotted, issued and credited as fully paid. For the avoidance of doubt, no cash payment by the Company will be made in relation to the Bonus Issue.

The Bonus Issue would allow the Qualifying Shareholders to enjoy the results of the Restructured Group as a result of the transactions contemplated under the Resumption Proposal whether or not they have applied for the Offer Shares under the Open Offer upon completion of the transactions contemplated under the Resumption Proposal (other than the Bonus Issue).

Conditions of the Bonus Issue

The Bonus Issue is conditional upon:

  • (i) the Subscription and the Open Offer becoming unconditional (other than the conditions precedent of the Subscription and the Open Offer in relation to the Bonus Issue becoming unconditional);

  • (iii) the passing of a resolution by the Independent Shareholders by way of poll at the SGM to approve the Bonus Issue and to approve the allotment, issue and dealing with the Bonus Shares; and

  • (iv) the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, all the Bonus Shares.

Bonus Shares

Assuming the Capital Restructuring becoming effective, the 71,387,296 Bonus Shares represent: (i) approximately 2 times of the total number of issued New Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date; (ii) approximately 66.67% of the total number of issued New Shares as enlarged by the Bonus Shares; and (iii) approximately 5.40% of the total number of issued New Shares as enlarged by the Offer Shares, the Subscription Shares, the Bonus Shares and the Creditor Shares.

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Bonus Shares do not have the entitlements to subscribe for the Offer Shares under the Open Offer since the Bonus Shares will only be issued conditional upon and immediately after completion of the Open Offer; and (ii) Qualifying Shareholders will be entitled to their respective Bonus Shares irrespective whether they have applied for any or all of the Offer Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD AND THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

Notes:

  1. Leung Ngok (“ Mr. Leung ”), the former chairman of the Company will no longer be a substantial Shareholder upon Completion.

On 20 October 2008, Mr. Leung and Ace Target (PTC) Inc. (the trustee of a unit trust of which all of the units in issue are owned by the trustee of The Leung Ngok Family Trust, a discretionary trust of which the objects include Mr. Leung’s family members) surrendered to Kingston Securities Limited all their voting rights in 109,221,000 Shares and 1,094,541,179 Shares correspondingly (in aggregate 1,203,762,179 Shares), which they have pledged to Kingston Securities Limited. As such, Kingston Securities Limited applied to, and received from, the Executive a waiver of the obligation to make a mandatory general offer for the Shares pursuant to Note 2 on dispensations from Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

To the best knowledge of the Directors, the Provisional Liquidators and the Investor, Kingston Securities Limited and their associates do not have any relationship with the Company; connected persons of the Company; the Provisional Liquidators; the Investor, its ultimate beneficial owners and parties acting in concert with any of them; and the Creditors with Admitted Claims. Save as aforesaid, Kingston Securities Limited is not involved or interested in the Restructuring.

  1. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Open Offer is fully underwritten by the Underwriter. The Underwriter will procure placees independent to the Company and its connected persons, the Investor, its ultimate beneficial owners, the Creditors and parties acting in concert with any of them to take up such number of Offer Shares so that neither the Underwriter nor any of the placees shall hold 10% or more of the issued share capital in the Company immediately upon completion of the Open Offer (on a full dilution basis).

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE TRANSACTIONS UNDER THE RESUMPTION PROPOSAL

Upon completion of the Capital Restructuring, the Company will have greater flexibility for future fundraising activities. Furthermore, on the assumption that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased before the Capital Restructuring becoming effective, the existing paid-up capital of the Company will be reduced from HK$356.9 million to approximately HK$356,936 and generating a credit of approximately HK$356.6 million as a result of the Capital Reduction which will be applied in a manner as permitted by the Companies Act, including but not limited to eliminating part of the outstanding accumulated losses of the Company, which was approximately HK$2,481 million as at 31 March 2013.

As mentioned in the “Unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group” contained in Appendix II to this circular, the financial position of the Group will be improved by discharging and releasing indebtedness and liabilities of the Company pursuant to the Scheme and the completion of the Open Offer and the Subscription will provide new capital for the Group. The unaudited pro forma net asset value of the Group would be improved from a net liability of approximately HK$1,579 million as at 31 March 2013 to a net asset value of approximately HK$134.7 million if the Open Offer and the Subscription had been completed on 31 March 2013 and if the Scheme had been effective on 31 March 2013. Upon completion of the Scheme, save for those liabilities incurred or to be incurred in the ordinary course of business, the Restructured Group will be debt free.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD AND THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

GROUP INFORMATION

Business Overview

The Group was engaged in wholesale and retail trading of fashion garments prior to the Suspension. After the appointment of the Provisional Liquidators on 6 October 2008, the then management of the Company together with the Provisional Liquidators used their best endeavours to maintain the business of the Group both in Hong Kong and the PRC.

In August 2009, the Company built up a new management team to formulate the overall business development strategies of the Group with a view to restore, create and maximize the value of the Group to its shareholders. Upon the efforts of the new management of the Company, various businesses have been established.

In preparation for the Resumption, the Group has undergone organizational restructuring. The current businesses of the Restructured Group are mainly operated under U-RIGHT Trading, Xiamen U-Right and Sino Hill Group Limited with four distinctive business lines, namely (i) wholesale of garments and textiles; (ii) retail of men wear under the brand of “Yilking” ; (iii) retail of women wear under the brands of “ LeRoi” and “ Meridow �; and (iv) retail of fashion garments under the brand of “U-RIGHT”.

Background of operating subsidiaries

(i) U-RIGHT Trading

U-RIGHT Trading, incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability and with businesses commenced in August 2010, is primarily engaged in the wholesale trading of garments and textile products. The major customers include wholesalers and distributors in the South-east Asia region whereas the supplies are mainly sourced from suppliers in Xiamen, Shishi and Jinjiang in Fujian province.

(ii) Xiamen U-Right

Xiamen U-Right, established with limited liability in the PRC as a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Group, is primarily engaged in the i) retail of men wear under the brand of “Yilking” in the PRC; ii) wholesale trading of raw materials and textile products in the PRC; and (iii) retailing of fashion garments under the brand name of “ U-RIGHT ” in the PRC.

On 24 January 2010, Xiamen U-Right entered into an agreement with the Joint Venture Partners, specifying the operations, rights, duties and obligations including the use and transfer of rights and business of the retail of “Yilking” products and the wholesale trading business. Pursuant to the agreement and the JV Contracts, Shishi Yilking and Dateng were appointed as agents for and on behalf of Xiamen U-Right to operate the business of the retail of “Yilking” products and the wholesale trading business respectively until the integration of Xiamen U-Right was completed in return for a management fee.

– 43 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD AND THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

Xiamen U-Right has started to integrate the business of the retail of “Yilking” products and the wholesale trading business. The primary goal of the integration is to make Xiamen U-Right the contracting party, instead of through an agent (i.e. the Joint Venture Partners), to all transactions of its businesses. The integration of the wholesale business of Xiamen U-Right were completed in July 2012, while the integration of the retail business of Xiamen U-Right is expected to be completed by the end of September this year. Upon completion of the integration, the Joint Venture Partners will cease to carry out Xiamen U-Right’s business as agents.

(iii) Sino Hill Group Limited

Sino Hill Group Limited was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability and, together with its subsidiaries, was principally engaged in design, distribution and sales of fashion apparel under the brand names of “ LeRoi” and “ Meridow”.

The Group acquired Sino Hill Group Limited at a consideration of HK$40 million. It was considered that the business of Sino Hill Group Limited was in line with and complementary to the existing principal business of the Group in relation to the wholesale and retail trading of fashion garment. Details of the operations of Sino Hill Group Limited were included in the Acquisition Circular dated 25 August 2011. The Acquisition of Sino Hill Group Limited was completed on 1 October 2011.

Business of retailing

The apparel retail business of the Group, as mentioned in the previous sections, consists of a wide range of products and markets under the brands of “ Yilking ”, “ LeRoi ”, “ Meridow ” and “ U-RIGHT ”.

Products

Yilking ” products focus on men’s outerwear, segregated into business formal and business casual, ranging from shirts, T-shirts, cardigans, jeans to suits, jackets, light coats and heavy coats, covering spring/summer and autumn/winter collections.

“LeRoi” and “Meridow” products focus on ladies’ outerwear market in the PRC and their products include coats, dresses, skirts, pants, blouses and cardigans in business formal, business casual and fashion casual styles.

Retail products of the Group are distributed through self-operated shops and sale counters, franchise shops and regional distributors.

The management opened the first self-operated shop dedicated to “ U-RIGHT ” branded products in the city of Xiamen in late 2011 through the Group’s internal resources.

Upon Resumption, the Company will have a HK$20 million capital injection to expand the retail business of Xiamen U-Right and the retailing of “ U-RIGHT ” branded products. The capital will be sourced from the proceeds arising from the Subscription and the Open Offer.

– 44 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD AND THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

The management targets to expand the business by broadening the product range, including men’s outwear, women’s outwear and children’s outwear and focusing on fashionable family collection casual wear. The overall product portfolio will be family collection.

Product design and development

Retail product designs are initiated by in-house design team with suggestions from the distributors and the franchisees.

As for external collaborations, in-house design team communicates with manufacturers’ development team or external design house on required items, their intended material, construction and color tones for their creation of a prototype. The prototype will then be commented by the Group’s in-house design team for any amendment.

Manufacturers’ participation enriches the variety of products of the Group by their own strengths; and allows shorter transition from designer’s sketches into mass production through their comments on the practicality of the design, such as pattern development and stages of garment production, increasing the competitiveness of the brands.

Through this mode of collaboration, the Group retains control on the crucial stages of product development, namely the initiation and determination design proposals and the final decision on the design and make of the products; and outsources the non-core parts of product development, namely pattern development, layouts, cutting and stitching, to manufacturers’ design teams.

For peripheral products such as belts and shoes, designs are provided by manufacturers and then the Group purchases directly from them after brand labeling.

Production

The Group outsources productions to local manufacturers in the Guangdong and Fujian region. Product quality is assured through selection of suppliers, subcontracting agreement and quality inspection. Subcontracting the production process to the local manufacturers allows higher flexibility in product development without restriction imposed by facility specifications, and lowers production costs for a faster expansion of the Group’s chain of production in order to catch up with the booming market appetite.

Business of wholesale trading

The wholesale trading business of the Group is principally operated on an indent basis under U-RIGHT Trading, while Xiamen U-Right’s trading business holds inventory to match with sales orders. The Group also trades with the local suppliers in the Shishi District in Xiamen, Jiangsu and Xiamen. Apart from the PRC suppliers, the Group also trades with suppliers and buyers from overseas mainly in the Southeast Asia, Middle East and Europe.

The customer group of the wholesale trading business includes domestic textile processing and dying factories as well as garment distributors and wholesalers both in the PRC and overseas.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD AND THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

Risk Factors

Production process

The Restructured Group’s ability to meet demands of, and contractual obligations with, the distributors and franchisee and the ability to expand the business are heavily dependent on efficient, proper and uninterrupted operations of the suppliers. Power failures or disruptions, failure or substandard performance of equipment, improper installation or operation of equipment and destruction of buildings, equipment and other facilities due to fire or natural disasters such as hurricanes, severe winter storms or earthquakes would severely affect the supplies to the Restructured Group.

Business in the PRC

  • Political and economic policies of the PRC government and social conditions and legal developments of the PRC could adversely affect the Restructured Group’s business.

  • The control of currency conversion by the PRC government could affect the Restructured Group’s business operations.

  • Uncertainties regarding interpretation and enforcement of the PRC laws and regulations may impose adverse impact on the Restructured Group’s business, operations and profitability and limit the legal protections available to investors.

  • The Restructured Group’s labour costs may increase for reasons such as the implementation of the Labour Contract Law of the PRC or a labour shortage in the places the Restructured Group operates.

  • Changes in government regulations such as environmental laws and regulations could affect the Restructured Group’s results of operations.

  • Any changes in the Restructured Group’s tax treatment, including an unfavourable change in preferential enterprise income tax rates in the PRC, may have a material adverse impact on the Restructured Group’s financial condition and results of operations.

  • Shortage of electricity and water supply in the PRC would affect the Restructured Group’s production, business and financial performance.

Risk relating to the business operations of the Restructured Group

  • Strong competition

The Restructured Group is engaged in a competitive and fragmented market and is facing a strong competition from competitors in the PRC. There is no assurance that the competition within the industry will not further intensify which could result in price reduction, diminution of the market share of the Restructured Group and have an adverse impact on the operation of the Restructured Group’s business.

– 46 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD AND THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

  • Economic downturns

Demand for fashion apparel may be adversely affected by economic downturns in the PRC. Most of the Restructured Group’s customers are based in the PRC. In the event of the PRC economic downturn or any financial crisis, operation of the Restructured Group will be adversely affected.

  • Reliance on the PRC market

Revenue of the Restructured Group is mainly generated in the PRC and thus the sales and business growth of the Restructured Group are subject to economic conditions of the PRC and consumer spending habits. Factors affecting the level of consumer spending also include but not limited to interest rates, currency exchange rates, recession, inflation, deflation, political uncertainty, taxation, stock market performance, unemployment level and general consumer confidence. Fluctuations in the abovementioned factors will affect the business of the Restructured Group.

  • Industry concentration

All the products of the Restructured Group are garment products. The performance of the Restructured Group could be adversely affected by fluctuations in the demand for such products and changes in the market conditions.

  • Business Integration

Before completion of the full integration of the business under Xiamen U-Right, the rights of the Group on its business is solely governed by the JV Contracts, and that,

  1. A breach of the JV Contracts by the Joint Venture Partners may affect the Group’s operation significantly;

  2. While the Joint Venture Partners are appointed agents of Xiamen U-Right to carry out the business, the JV Contracts may not provide control as effective as direct ownership;

  3. The PRC government may determine that the JV Contracts do not comply with applicable regulations;

  4. Such arrangements may be subject to scrutiny of the PRC tax authorities and additional tax may be imposed.

  5. Others

The Restructured Group relies on “Yilking” , “LeRoi” , “Meridow” and “ U-RIGHT ” brands. There is no guarantee that the Restructured Group will continue to be successful in developing the “Yilking” , “LeRoi” , “Meridow” and “U-RIGHT” branded products and expanding its product lines and offerings.

– 47 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD AND THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

It is difficult to accurately anticipate or respond in a timely manner to changes in continually evolving consumer tastes and preferences for garment products and the sales of the Restructured Group may be affected by seasonality and a number of other factors.

The Restructured Group relies on its distributors who either directly or through third party retail outlet operators, to operate authorized “Yilking” , “LeRoi” and “Meridow” retail outlets for the sales in the PRC.

The Restructured Group has limited control over the ultimate retail sales by its distributors. The Restructured Group’s brand image and business may be adversely affected if the distributors fail to adhere to, or fail to cause the third party retail outlet operators to adhere to the Restructured Group’s retail policies and standards.

The Restructured Group may not be able to accurately monitor the inventory levels at its distributors and third party retail outlet operators and therefore cannot determine the proportion of products sold to end-users.

Any excessive build-up of inventory by the distributors could affect the volume of future orders from the distributors and have an adverse impact the Restructured Group’s business (i.e. obsolete inventory).

Unauthorized use of the Restructured Group’s trademarks or sale of counterfeit products under any of the Restructured Group’s brands by third party could result in an erosion of goodwill and loss of sales.

Third parties may assert or claim that the Restructured Group has infringed their intellectual property rights.

Business trend for the Group

The Group recorded a turnover of approximately HK$331.1 million, HK$397.9 million and HK$392.6 million for the three years ended 31 March 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Profit attributable to the Shareholders of the Company for the respective periods was approximately HK$1.7 million, HK$6.9 million and HK$8.3 million. Upon Resumption, the Company will have additional capital to operate and expand the Restructured Group’s garment retail business. The capital will be sourced from the proceeds arising from the Subscription. The management targets to expand the business by broadening the product range, including men’s outwear, women’s outwear and children’s outwear and focusing on fashionable family collection casual wear. The overall product portfolio will be family collection. The Group will also continue its focus on the integration of the existing business.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD AND THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

ADOPTION OF NEW BYE-LAWS

The existing Bye-laws were adopted in 2000 and have not been amended since 2006. Since then, there have been various amendments in applicable laws and regulations including the Listing Rules and changes in market practice. It is now proposed for the Company to adopt the New Bye-laws to reflect the latest amendments to the Listing Rules which became effective on 1 January 2012, 1 April 2012 and 1 January 2013 and the Companies Act which came into effect on 18 December 2011. As the amendments to the existing Bye-laws are substantial, it is proposed that the New Bye-laws, which complies with all current applicable laws and regulations, be adopted in substitution for and to the exclusion of the existing Bye-laws instead of amending the existing Bye-laws on a piecemeal basis, which may lead to confusion and complication in the future. The Board will seek the approval of the Shareholders by way of passing a special resolution at the SGM to adopt the New Bye-laws in substitution for and to the exclusion of the existing Bye-laws. A summary of the principal provisions of the New Bye-laws is set out in Appendix IV to this circular. The major changes brought about by the New Bye-laws are summarised as follows:

  • (a) any Director appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy shall hold office only until the next following annual general meeting of the Company;

  • (b) all resolutions at general meetings of the Company shall be decided by poll other than resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter as may be permitted under the Listing Rules to be voted by a show of hands;

  • (c) an annual general meeting shall be called by written notice of not less than 21 clear days and not less than 20 clear business days, any special general meeting called for the passing of a special resolution shall be called by written notice of not less than 21 clear days and not less than 10 clear business days, all other meetings may be called by written notice of not less than 14 clear days and not less than 10 clear business days;

  • (d) no longer permit a Director to disregard 5% interests when considering whether the Director has a material interest which would prevent him from forming part of the quorum or voting at a board meeting; and

  • (e) if a substantial shareholder or a Director has a conflict of interest in a matter to be considered by the Board which the Board has determined to be material, the matter shall be dealt with by a physical board meeting rather than a written resolution.

The legal adviser to the Company as to Hong Kong laws has confirmed that the New Bye-laws comply with the requirements of the Listing Rules. The legal adviser to the Company as to Bermuda laws has confirmed that the New Bye-laws do not violate the applicable laws of Bermuda. The Company confirms that there is nothing unusual about the proposed amendments for a Bermuda company listed on the Stock Exchange.

Shareholders are advised that the New Bye-laws are available only in English and the Chinese translation of the New Bye-laws provided in Appendix IV to this circular is for reference only. In case of any inconsistency, the English version shall prevail.

  • (i) on 9 July 2013, the Company entered into the Underwriting Agreement with the Underwriter, whereby the Company proposed to raise gross proceeds of approximately HK$26.8 million before expenses, by way of the Open Offer of 178,468,245 Offer Shares at the Offer Price of HK$0.15 per Offer Share, on the basis of five (5) Offer Shares for every one (1) New Share held on the Record Date;

  • (ii) on 9 July 2013, the Company entered into the Subscription Agreement with the Investor pursuant to which the Company will issue and the Investor will subscribe for 970,000,000 New Shares at the Subscription Price of HK$0.15 per New Share. The gross proceeds from the Subscription is HK$145.5 million; and

  • (iii) the Company proposed to issue the Bonus Shares to the Qualifying Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company on the Record Date on the basis of two (2) Bonus Shares for every one (1) New Share.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Investor, its ultimate beneficial owners and parties acting in concert with any of them, are not interested in any Shares or securities of the Company. Immediately after the issue of the Offer Shares, the Subscription Shares, the Bonus

Shares and the Creditor Shares, the Investor, its ultimate beneficial owners and parties acting in concert with any of them will hold 970,000,000 New Shares, representing approximately 73.39% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the Offer Shares, Subscription Shares, Bonus Shares and the Creditor Shares. Accordingly, the Investor, its ultimate beneficial owners and parties acting in concert with any of them would trigger an obligation, pursuant to Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code to make a mandatory general offer to acquire all the New Shares other than those already held by the Investor, its ultimate beneficial owners and parties acting in concert with any of them.

The Investor has made an application to the Executive for the Whitewash Waiver, pursuant to Note 1 on dispensations from Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code, to waive the obligations of the Investor to make a mandatory general offer for all the Shares not already owned or agreed to be acquired by the Investor, its ultimate beneficial owners and parties acting in concert with any of them arising from the Subscription. The Executive has indicated that the grant of the Whitewash Waiver will be subject to, among other things, the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the SGM. If the Whitewash Waiver was not granted by the Executive or not approved by the Independent Shareholders, the Subscription will not proceed.

Under the Scheme, the Creditors with Admitted Claims shall receive cash payment to discharge their Admitted Claims by ways of dividends arising from cash and cash equivalent of the Company, part of proceeds of the Subscription, and proceeds of the realization from the Creditor Shares, the Excluded Subsidiaries and the Excluded Items, after payment of any cost. As the terms of repayment to the Creditors with Admitted Claims under the Scheme are not extended to other Shareholders who are not the Creditors with Admitted Claims, the settlement of the debts due by the Company to the Creditors with Admitted Claims with Admitted Claims who are also Shareholders and/or their associates under the Scheme constitutes a special deal for the Company under note 5 to Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code.

The extent of the Creditors with Admitted Claims will be varied from time to time as the Scheme Administrators are now in the process of determination of the claims received from the Creditors. The maximum extent of the Creditors with Admitted Claims that include, among others, all the Interested Shareholders and/or their associates, who, directly or through their associates, hold an aggregate of 463,939,327 Shares, representing approximately 13.00% of the existing share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Under the Scheme, the issued shares of the Excluded Subsidiaries will be transferred to the SchemeCo to be realized for the benefit of the Creditors with Admitted Claims. The Scheme Administrators shall take such steps as are appropriate, having regard to the potential costs of and benefits from such steps, to recover any amounts which may be realized from the Excluded Subsidiaries and their assets. Any realizations to be made from the Excluded Subsidiaries and their assets will be distributed to the Creditors with Admitted Claims in accordance with the terms of the Scheme. The arrangement is not extended to all Shareholders and therefore the Disposal constitutes a special deal under note 4 to Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code.

We have not, however, carried out any independent verification of the information provided by the Directors and the management of the Company, nor have we conducted an independent investigation into the business and affairs of the Group, the Investor, the Underwriter and their respective associates.

We have not considered the tax implications on the Qualifying Shareholders of their acceptances or non-acceptances of the Open Offer since these are particular to their own individual circumstances. Qualifying Shareholders should consider their own tax position with regard to the Open Offer and, if in any doubt, should consult their own professional advisers in due course.

This letter is issued for the information for the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders solely in connection with their consideration of the Open Offer, the Subscription, the Whitewash Waiver, the Special Deals, the Bonus Issue and the issue of the Creditor Shares, except for its inclusion in the Circular, is not to be quoted or referred to, in whole or in part, nor shall this letter be used for any other purposes, without our prior written consent.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In formulating our opinion and recommendations to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons. Our conclusions are based on the results of all analyses taken as a whole.

A. HISTORICAL FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE GROUP

(i) Financial year ended 31 March 2013

According to the annual report of the Company (“ AR 2013 ”) for the year ended 31 March 2013, the Group reported revenue of approximately HK$392.64 million, representing a decrease of approximately 1.33% from that for the year ended 31 March 2012 of approximately HK$397.94 million. As advised by the Company, the decrease in revenue was mainly due to a more cautious approach adopted by the Group during the period in accepting orders to protect margin of its wholesale business. The Group reported profit attributable to Shareholders of approximately HK$8.33 million for the year ended 31 March 2013, representing an increase of approximately 20.89% as compared to that for the year ended 31 March 2012 of approximately HK$6.89 million. As advised by the Company, such increase was mainly due to (i) the full-year operating results of Sino Hill Group Limited (“ Sino Hill ”) being consolidated into the Group after the completion of the acquisition of Sino Hill on 1 October 2011, and (ii) the maturity of a convertible note during the period resulted in lower finance charge for the period.

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

It was noted from the independent auditor’s report in AR 2013 that because of the matters described in the basis for disclaimer of opinion paragraphs and the material uncertainty relating to the going concern basis as set out therein, the auditors of the Company did not express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as to whether they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group as at 31 March 2013 and of the Group’s results and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards. Details of the basis for disclaimer and material uncertainty relating to the going concern basis have been set out in the independent auditor’s report in AR 2013.

(ii) Financial year ended 31 March 2012

According to the annual report of the Company (“ AR 2012 ”) for the year ended 31 March 2012, the Group reported revenue of approximately HK$397.94 million, representing an increase of approximately 20.19% as compared to that for the year ended 31 March 2011 of approximately HK$331.08 million. As advised by the Company, the increase in revenue was mainly due to consolidation of Sino Hill into the Group upon completion of the Acquisition. The Group reported profit attributable to Shareholders of approximately HK$6.89 million for the year ended 31 March 2012, representing an increase of approximately 296.20% as compared to that for the year ended 31 March 2011 of approximately HK$1.74 million. As advised by the Company, such increase was mainly due to the increase in revenue.

As noted from the independent auditor’s report in AR 2012, because of the significance of the matters described in the basis for disclaimer of opinion paragraphs and the material uncertainty relating to the going concern basis as set out therein, the auditors of the Company did not express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as to whether they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group as at 31 March 2012 and of the Group’s result and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards. Details of the basis for disclaimer and material uncertainty relating to the going concern basis have been set out in the independent auditor’s report in AR 2012.

B. FUNDRAISING BY WAYS OF THE OPEN OFFER AND THE SUBSCRIPTION

Reasons for the fundraising and use of proceeds

As set out in the Letter from the Board and Provisional Liquidators, the Board considers that the Open Offer is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole as it offers all the Qualifying Shareholders an equal opportunity to participate in the enlargement of the capital base of the Company and enables the Qualifying Shareholders to maintain their proportionate interests in the Company and continue to participate in the future development of the Group should they wish to do so. Furthermore, the Open Offer allows the Company to credit part of the net proceeds raised from the Open Offer up to the sum of HK$713,872.98 (or such sum as may be necessary to give effect to the Bonus Issue) to the share premium account of the Company and apply such amount to pay up in full at par the Bonus Shares such that the Bonus Shares will be allotted, issued and credited as fully paid.

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

As noted from the Letter from the Board and Provisional Liquidators, the aggregate cash proceeds from the Open Offer and the Subscription will be approximately HK$172.3 million and the net proceeds (after deducting the resumption professional fees and commission for the Open Offer payable by the Company) will be approximately HK$150.1 million, of which will be applied as follows:

  • (1) HK$50 million for the cash payment to the SchemeCo as source of dividends to the Creditors with Admitted Claims under the Scheme;

  • (2) up to HK$15 million for the repayment of the drawn portion of the Working Capital Loan #1;

  • (3) up to HK$40 million for the Acquisition (as to up to HK$20 million for the repayment of the drawn portion of the Working Capital Loan #2 and as to HK$20 million for the repayment of the promissory note in the amount of HK$20 million (the “ Promissory Note ”) for the purpose of settling part of the consideration of the Acquisition);

  • (4) HK$20 million as an investment to operate and expand the garment retail business under the brand “U-RIGHT” of the Restructured Group; and

  • (5) the balance will be used as working capital for the Restructured Group.

The proceeds from the Open Offer and the Subscription would strengthen the Group’s capital base so as to allow the Group to grasp suitable business/investment opportunities with immediately available fund should appropriate chance arise. In addition, the Subscription will enable the Group to reduce its indebtedness and liabilities.

As noted from AR 2013, the Company recorded bank and cash balances of approximately HK$9.42 million, net current liabilities of approximately HK$1,594.55 million and net liabilities of approximately HK$1,579.14 million as at 31 March 2013.

We also noted from the circular of the Company dated 25 August 2011 in relation to the Acquisition, the Company has issued the Promissory Note in the amount of HK$20 million to settle part of the consideration of the Acquisition and the Promissory Note should be repaid from 2 years from the date of issue (which is the date of completion of the Acquisition, i.e. 1 October 2011) or one year after Resumption, whichever is earlier.

Having considered (i) the financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2013 and the outstanding amount of the Promissory Note and the Working Capital Loans; (ii) the Subscription will enable the Group to reduce its indebtedness and liabilities; (iii) the proceeds from the Open Offer and the Subscription would strengthen the Group’s capital base so as to allow the Group to grasp suitable business/investment opportunities with immediately available fund should appropriate chance arise; (iv) the Open Offer is on the basis that all Qualifying Shareholders have been offered the same opportunity to maintain their proportional

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

interests; (v) the Open Offer allows the Company to credit part of the net proceeds raised from the Open Offer to the share premium account of the Company and apply such amount to pay up in full at par the Bonus Shares such that the Bonus Shares will be allotted, issued and credited as fully paid; and (vi) the Open Offer and the Subscription are part of the Resumption Conditions, we are of the view that the Open Offer and the Subscription (including the use of proceeds) are in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

The Offer Price and the Subscription Price

The Offer Price and the Subscription Price of HK$0.15 represented:

  • (i) a discount of approximately 89.29% to the closing price of approximately HK$0.014 per Share (equivalent to approximately HK$1.40 per New Share assuming the Capital Restructuring becoming effective) as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day; and

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 58.14% to the theoretical ex-entitlement price of approximately HK$0.3583 per New Share, based on the closing price of approximately HK$0.014 per Share (equivalent to approximately HK$1.40 per New Share assuming the Capital Restructuring becoming effective) as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day.

As set out in the Letter from the Board and Provisional Liquidators, trading of Shares had been suspended since 17 September 2008, the Company and the Provisional Liquidators had, upon arm’s length negotiation, agreed with the Underwriter that the Offer Price should represent a substantial discount to the closing price before Suspension so as to incentivize the Qualifying Shareholders to take up their entitlements under the Open Offer. Each Qualifying Shareholder is entitled to subscribe for the Offer Shares at the same price in proportion to his/her/its shareholding in the Company as at the Record Date. The Directors consider the Offer Price is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

As advised by the Company, the Subscription Price was determined under arm’s length negotiation between the Company, the Provisional Liquidators and the Investor with reference to the Offer Price. The Directors consider the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

(a) Historical share price performance

We noted that the Offer Price and the Subscription Price represented substantial discount to the adjusted closing price of the New Shares on the Last Trading Day. However, in our opinion, the Last Trading Day is more than four years from the Latest Practicable Date, we considered the closing price on the Last Trading Day does not represent a major reference to the Offer Price and the Subscription Price because the current market sentiment is different from the market sentiment four year ago and closing price on the Last Trading Day does not reflect the existing business prospects and the existing financials of the Company.

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

(b) Comparison with other open offers

In assessing the fairness of the Offer Price, we have compared the Open Offer with all open offers (the “ Open Offer Comparables ”) conducted by companies listed on the Stock Exchange with their shares have been suspended for trading for more than one year and have announced their respective open offer transactions during the 12-month period preceding the date of the Underwriting Agreement (i.e. from 10 July 2012 up to and including 9 July 2013), being the date of the Underwriting Agreement, for comparison purposes. In view that (i) for prolonged suspension companies, it is a common market practice to price the open offer or rights issue at a discount to the market price of relevant shares in order to encourage subscription by their shareholders; and (ii) the market sentiment at the relevant time may also play an important role in the determination of the offer price, we believe that the Open Offer Comparables may reflect the recent trend of open offer transactions in the market for prolonged suspension companies and consider the Open Offer Comparables are fair and representative samples. Details of the Open Offer Comparables are summarized in the following table:

Note: Maximum dilution effect of each open offer is calculated as: ((number of offer shares and (if any) bonus shares to be issued under the basis of entitlement)/(number of existing shares held for the entitlement for the offer shares under the basis of entitlement + number of offer shares and (if any) bonus shares to be issued under the basis of entitlement) x 100%, e.g. for an open offer with basis of 5 offer shares for every share held, the maximum dilution effect is calculated as (5/(1+5)) x 100% = 83.33%.

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

As shown in the above table, the discounts represented by the offer prices to the closing prices of shares of the Open Offer Comparables on the last trading days prior to the release of the respective announcements ranged from approximately 75.81% to approximately 99.03% (the “ LTD Market Range ”). The discount of approximately 89.29% as represented by the Offer Price to the adjusted closing price of the New Shares on the Last Trading Day falls below the median and within the LTD Market Range notwithstanding such discount represented a deeper discount than the mean of the LTD Market Range.

The discount represented by the offer prices to the theoretical ex-entitlement prices of the shares of the Open Offer Comparables ranged from approximately 38.52% to approximately 98.07% (the “ TEP Market Range ”). The discount of approximately 58.14% as represented by the Offer Price to the theoretical ex-entitlement price falls below the mean and within the TEP Market Range.

In general, we consider that it is common for the listed issuers in Hong Kong to issue offer shares at a discount to the market price in order to enhance the attractiveness of an open offer transaction. Having considered that (i) the Shares have been suspended for trading for more than 4 years and hence, it is inevitable to set the Offer Price at a discount in order to enhance the attractiveness of the Open Offer and to encourage the existing Shareholders to participate in the Open Offer; (ii) the Offer Price was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Underwriter; (iii) the discount represented by the Offer Price to the adjusted closing price of the New Shares on the Last Trading Day falls below the median and within the LTD Market Range; (iv) the discount represented by the Offer Price to the theoretical ex-entitlement price falls below the mean and within the TEP Market Range; and (v) all Qualifying Shareholders are offered an equal opportunity to subscribe for the Offer Shares at the Offer Price, we consider the Offer Price is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

In addition, having considered (i) the Subscription Price is equivalent to the Offer Price and hence, the Investor will subscribe the Subscription Shares at a price which is not more favorable than the Offer Price offered to all Qualifying Shareholders under the Open Offer; (ii) the suspension of the trading of the Shares; (iii) the audited consolidated net liabilities of the Group of approximately HK$1,579.14 million as at 31 March 2013; and (iv) the Subscription Price represents a premium of approximately 87.5% over the unaudited pro forma consolidated net tangible assets of HK$0.08 per New Share upon completion of the Capital Restructuring, the Subscription, the Whitewash Waiver, the Special Deals, the Scheme, the Bonus Issue and the Disposal, we are of the view that the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

Underwriting commission

As set out in the Letter from the Board and Provisional Liquidators, the Company will pay the Underwriter an underwriting commission of 2.50%. We have reviewed the underwriting commissions under all open offer transactions announced by the companies listed on the Stock Exchange during the six-month period preceding the date of the Underwriting Agreement (i.e. from 10 January 2013 to 9 July 2013) and noted that the underwriting commissions were ranging from 0.00% to 3.00%.

Note: The underwriting commission has been disclosed in the relevant circular dated 1 March 2013 of FU JI Food and Catering Services Holdings Limited.

In view that the underwriting commission falls within the range of underwriting commissions of the recent open offer transactions, we consider the underwriting commission payable to the Underwriter is in line with the market and fair and reasonable as far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

Excess application

As set out in the Letter from the Board and Provisional Liquidators, Qualifying Shareholders will not be entitled to subscribe for any Offer Share in excess of their respective assured entitlements. Considering that each Qualifying Shareholder will be given an equal opportunity to participate in the Company’s future development by his entitlements under the Open Offer, the Directors consider that the Company will not be justified in making additional effort and incurring additional costs to administer the excess application procedures. All Offer Shares not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders will be underwritten by the Underwriter.

Although the absence of the excess application arrangement may not be desirable from the point of view of those Qualifying Shareholders who wish to take up additional Offer Shares in excess of their assured entitlements, in light of that (i) the nil excess application should be

– 64 –

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

balanced against the fact that the Offer Price has been set at discount to the adjusted closing price of the New Share on the Last Trading Day which provides reasonable incentive for the Qualifying Shareholders to take up their respective assured entitlement of the Offer Shares and participate in the Open Offer; (ii) those Qualifying Shareholders who choose to accept their respective entitlements under the Open Offer in full can maintain their respective existing shareholdings in the Company after the Open Offer; (iii) the Open Offer allows the Qualifying Shareholders who are optimistic about the future development of the Company to exercise their rights to subscribe for the Offer Shares with a fair chance; (iv) the nil excess application would lower the administrative costs of the Open Offer to the Company; and (v) the absence of excess application arrangement in an open offer conducted by long suspension company is not uncommon in the market as shown in the Open Offer Comparable, we are of the view that the absence of excess application arrangement, on balance, is acceptable.

Risk associated with the Open Offer

Shareholders and potential investors should note that the Open Offer is conditional, inter alia, upon the fulfillment of the conditions set out in the section headed “Conditions of the Open Offer” in the Letter from the Board and Provisional Liquidators. In particular, the Open Offer is conditional upon the conditions precedent to the Underwriting Agreement having been satisfied and the Underwriting Agreement is not terminated on or before the latest time for termination by the Underwriter. Accordingly, the Open Offer may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should therefore exercise extreme caution when dealing in the Shares/New Shares, and if they are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their professional advisers.

C. FUNDRAISING ALTERNATIVES

Comparing the Open Offer and the Subscription to other methods of fundraisings such as placement of new Shares or other convertible securities and bank borrowing, and taking into account that (i) debt financing and bank borrowing will incur interest burden to the Company; (ii) placing of new Shares may not be desirable alternatives as compared with the Subscription given the prolonged Suspension status of the Company and the cost of placing commission; and (iii) the Open Offer will enable the Shareholders to maintain their proportionate interests in the Company, we concur with the view of the Directors that fund raising by way of the Open Offer and the Subscription is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

D. BONUS ISSUE

The Company proposes to issue the Bonus Shares to the Qualifying Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company as at the close of business on the Record Date in the proportion of two (2) Bonus Shares for every one (1) New Share (equivalent to one (1) Bonus Share for every fifty (50) existing Shares). On the basis of 3,569,364,916 Shares in issue (equivalent to approximately 35,693,649 New Shares assuming Capital Restructuring becoming effective), up to 71,387,298 Bonus Shares would be issued.

– 65 –

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

Under the Open Offer, the Offer Shares will be issued at a premium of HK$0.14 each Offer Share to their par value. The Company proposes to apply part of the premium raised from the Open Offer, up to the sum of HK$713,972.98 (or such sum as may be necessary to give effect to the Bonus Issue) standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company immediately after the Open Offer, to pay up in full at par the Bonus Shares such that the Bonus Shares will be allotted, issued and credited as fully paid. For the avoidance of doubt, no cash payment by the Company will be made in relation to the Bonus Issue.

The Bonus Issue would allow the Qualifying Shareholders to enjoy the results of the Restructured Group as a result of the transactions contemplated under the Resumption Proposal whether or not they have applied for the Offer Shares under the Open Offer upon completion of the transactions contemplated under the Resumption Proposal (other than the Bonus Issue).

As noted from the Letter from the Board and Provisional Liquidators, the Creditor Shares, the Offer Shares and the Subscription Shares are not entitled to the Bonus Shares under the Bonus Issue. In view that (i) the Bonus Issue will reduce the dilution effect on the existing Shareholders as a result of the issue of the Creditor Shares, Offer Shares and Subscription Shares; (ii) the Bonus Issue is inter-conditional with the Open Offer and the Subscription and the completion of the Open Offer and the Subscription are part of the Resumption Conditions; and (iii) the Bonus Shares will be issued to all existing Shareholders on the same basis, we consider the Bonus Issue is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

E. ISSUE OF THE CREDITOR SHARES

Under the Scheme, the Creditors with Admitted Claims shall receive cash payment to discharge their Admitted Claims by ways of dividends arising from cash and cash equivalent of the Company, part of proceeds of the subscription, and proceeds of the realization from the Creditor Shares, the Excluded Subsidiaries and the Excluded Items, after payment of any cost. The extent of the Creditors with Admitted Claims will be varied from time to time as the Scheme Administrators are now in the process of determination of the claims received from the Creditors. The maximum extent of the Creditors with Admitted Claims that include, among others, all the Interested Shareholders and/or their associates, who, directly or through their associates, hold an aggregate of 463,939,327 Shares representing approximately 13.00% of the existing share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. 66,133,333 New Shares as Creditor Shares will be issued to the SchemeCo and credited as fully paid, representing approximately 5% of issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares, the Bonus Shares, the Creditor Shares and the Offer Shares. The value of Creditor Shares is dependent on the prevailing market condition at the time of its realization by the Scheme Administrators under the Scheme. Assuming the Creditor Shares are realized at an average price of HK$0.15 per share, which is the same as the Subscription Price and the Offer Price, realization proceeds before payment of any costs will be approximately HK$9.9 million.

Taking into account (i) the principal factors and reasons analysed in the above section headed “B. FUNDRAISING BY WAYS OF THE OPEN OFFER AND THE SUBSCRIPTION”; (ii) if the Debt Restructuring is not successful, the Group will be placed into insolvent

– 66 –

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

liquidation, by which all assets of the Company will be realized for the Creditors; and (iii) the gross return to the Creditors for the discharge and release of all indebtedness and liabilities of the Company as of the effective date of the Scheme (“ Effective Date ”) is estimated at only approximately HK$117.8 million which is substantially lower than the claims owed by the Company to the creditors as of the Effective Date of approximately HK$1,891 million based on the claims received by the Scheme Administrators and subject to their determination, respectively, we are of the view that the terms of the issue of the Creditor Shares are at arm’s length, normal and commercial and fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

Immediately upon completion the Open Offer, the Subscription, the Bonus Issue and the issue of the Creditor Shares, the Group’s working capital is expected to be increased by the net proceeds from the Open Offer and the Subscription of approximately HK$150.1 million, of which approximately HK$25.1 million will be used as working capital for the Restructured Group. Accordingly, the working capital will be improved upon completion of the Open Offer, the Subscription,the Bonus Issue and the issue of the Creditor Shares.

(ii) Net assets

As set out in AR 2013, the audited consolidated net liabilities of the Group was approximately HK$1,579.14 million as at 31 March 2013. If the Debt Restructuring is not successful, the Group will be placed into insolvent liquidation, by which all assets of the Company will be realized for the Creditors and the Shareholders will not be able to receive anything for their shareholding.

As set out in Appendix II to the Circular, the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group, upon completion of the Capital Restructuring, the Open Offer, the Subscription, the Bonus Issue, the Scheme and the Disposal, the Group’s financial position would be improved from net liabilities of approximately HK$1,579.14 million as at 31 March 2013 to net assets of approximately HK$134.70 million. The net liabilities of the Group per New Share was approximately HK$44.24 (equivalent to approximately HK$0.44 per Share) based on 35,693,649 New Shares issued as at the Latest Practicable Date assuming the Capital Restructuring has becoming effective. The unaudited pro forma consolidated net tangible assets per New Share upon completion of the Capital Restructuring, the Subscription, the Whitewash Waiver, the Special Deals, the Scheme, the Bonus Issue and the Disposal will be approximately HK$0.08.

Having considered the enhancement on the working capital and the financial position of the Group upon completion of the Open Offer, the Subscription, the Bonus Issue and the issue of the Creditor Shares, we consider that the Open Offer, the Subscription, the Bonus Issue and the issue of the Creditor Shares are fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

G. POTENTIAL DILUTION

Based on the shareholding structure of the Company as set out in the Letter from the Board and Provisional Liquidators, assuming the Capital Restructuring has become effective, 35,693,649 New Shares were held by the Independent Shareholders as at the Latest Practicable Date, representing approximately 100% of the issued share capital of the Company. The shareholding of the existing Independent Shareholders will (i) decrease to approximately 21.61% in the event that all existing Shareholders take up the entitlements under the Open Offer in full; and (ii) further decrease to approximately 8.11% in the event that none of the existing Independent Shareholders take up their entitlements under the Open Offer upon completion of the Open Offer, the Subscription, the Bonus Issue and the issue of the Creditor Shares.

Having considered that:

  • (i) the financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2013 and the outstanding amount of the Promissory Note and the Working Capital Loans;

  • (ii) the Subscription will enable the Group to reduce its indebtedness and liabilities;

  • (iii) the proceeds from the Open Offer and the Subscription would strengthen the Group’s capital base so as to allow the Group to grasp suitable business/investment opportunities with immediately available fund should appropriate chance arise;

  • (iv) the Open Offer is on the basis that all Qualifying Shareholders have been offered the same opportunity to maintain their proportional interests;

  • (v) the Open Offer and the Subscription are part of the Resumption Conditions;

  • (vi) the Shares have been suspended for trading for more than 4 years and hence, it is inevitable to set the Offer Price at a discount in order to enhance the attractiveness of the Open Offer and to encourage the existing Shareholders to participate in the Open Offer;

  • (vii) the discount represented by the Offer Price to the adjusted closing price of the New Shares on the Last Trading Day falls below the median and within the LTD Market Range;

  • (viii)the discount represented by the Offer Price to the theoretical ex-entitlement price falls below the mean and within the TEP Market Range;

  • (ix) the Subscription Price is equivalent to the Offer Price and hence, the Investor will subscribe the Subscription Shares at a price which is not more favorable than the Offer Price offered to all Qualifying Shareholders under the Open Offer;

– 68 –

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

  • (x) the Bonus Issue will reduce the dilution effect on the existing Shareholders as a result of the issue of the Offer Shares, Subscription Shares and Creditor Shares; and

  • (xi) the enhancement on the working capital and the financial position of the Group upon completion of the Open Offer, the Subscription, the Bonus Issue and the issue of the Creditor Shares,

we consider the dilution effects is acceptable.

H. WHITEWASH WAIVER

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Investor, its ultimate beneficial owners and parties acting in concert with any of them, are not interested in any Shares or securities of the Company. Immediately after the issue of the Offer Shares, the Subscription Shares, the Bonus Shares and the Creditor Shares, the Investor, its ultimate beneficial owners and parties acting in concert with any of them will hold 970,000,000 New Shares, representing approximately 73.39% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the Offer Shares, Subscription Shares, Bonus Shares and Creditor Shares. Accordingly, the Investor, its ultimate beneficial owners and parties acting in concert with any of them would trigger an obligation, pursuant to Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code to make a mandatory general offer to acquire all the New Shares other than those already held by the Investor, its ultimate beneficial owners and parties acting in concert with any of them.

The Investor has made an application to the Executive for the Whitewash Waiver, pursuant to Note 1 on dispensations from Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code, to waive the obligations of the Investor to make a mandatory general offer for all the Shares not already owned or agreed to be acquired by the Investor, its ultimate beneficial owners and parties acting in concert with any of them arising from the Subscription. The Executive has indicated that the grant of the Whitewash Waiver will be subject to, among other things, the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the SGM. If the Whitewash Waiver was not granted by the Executive or not approved by the Independent Shareholders, the Subscription will not proceed.

Based on our above analysis of the Open Offer and the Subscription, we consider that the Open Offer and the Subscription are in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole. If the Whitewash Waiver were not approved by the Independent Shareholders at the SGM, the Open Offer and the Subscription will not proceed and given the Open Offer and the Subscription are part of the Resumption Proposal, the Shares/New Shares may not be able to resume trading as a result of the fail of the completion of the Open Offer and the Subscription. Accordingly, we are of the view that for the purposes of implementing the Open Offer and the Subscription, the Whitewash Waiver is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

I. SPECIAL DEALS

Under the Scheme, the Creditors with Admitted Claims shall receive cash payment to discharge their Admitted Claims by ways of dividends arising from cash and cash equivalent of the Company, part of proceeds of the Subscription, and proceeds of the realization from the Creditor Shares, the Excluded Subsidiaries and the Excluded Items, after payment of any cost. As the terms of repayment to the Creditors with Admitted Claims under the Scheme are not extended to other Shareholders who are not the Creditors with Admitted Claims, the settlement of the debts due by the Company to the Creditors with Admitted Claims who are also Shareholders and/or their associates under the Scheme constitutes a special deal for the Company under note 5 to Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code.

The extent of the Creditors with Admitted Claims will be varied from time to time as the Scheme Administrators are now in the process of determination of the claims received from the Creditors. The maximum extent of the Creditors with Admitted Claims that include, among others, all the Interested Shareholders and/or their associates, who, directly or through their associates, hold an aggregate of 463,939,327 Shares representing approximately 13.00% of the existing share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Under the Scheme, the issued shares of the Excluded Subsidiaries will be transferred to the SchemeCo to be realized for the benefit of the Creditors with Admitted Claims. The Scheme Administrators shall take such steps as are appropriate, having regard to the potential costs of and benefits from such steps, to recover any amounts which may be realized from the Excluded Subsidiaries and their assets. Any realizations to be made from the Excluded Subsidiaries and their assets will be distributed to the Creditors with Admitted Claims in accordance with the terms of the Scheme. The arrangement is not extended to all Shareholders and therefore the Disposal constitutes a special deal under note 4 to Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code.

The Company has made an application to the Executive for the consent, under Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code in respect of (i) the settlement of debts due by the Company to the Creditors with Admitted Claims who are also Shareholders and/or their associates; and (ii) the Disposal under the Scheme which will be subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders and/or their associates at the SGM by way of poll and provided that the independent financial adviser to the Company publicly states that in its opinion the terms of the settlement of debts to the Interested Shareholders are at arm’s length, on normal commercial terms and fair and reasonable.

Taking into account (i) the principal factors and reasons analysed in the above section headed “B. FUNDRAISING BY WAYS OF THE OPEN OFFER AND THE SUBSCRIPTION”; (ii) the Subscription and the Scheme, under which part of the net proceeds from the Subscription will be used to settle part of debts owed by the Company to the Creditors, are part of the Resumption Proposal; (iii) the terms offered to Interested Shareholders under the Scheme are the same as and not more favourable than, other Creditors who are not Interested Shareholders; (iv) the Disposal forms part of the proposed Restructuring of the Company and If the Debt Restructuring is not successful, the Group will be placed into insolvent liquidation,

– 70 –

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

by which all assets of the Company will be realized for the benefit of the Creditors; and (v) the Interested Shareholders will abstain from voting on the resolutions to approve the Subscription Agreement and the Special Deals, respectively, we are of the view that the terms of the Special Deals are at arm’s length, normal and commercial and fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

RECOMMENDATION

Taking into consideration of the above mentioned principal factors and reasons, we consider that (i) the terms of the Open Offer, the Subscription, the Whitewash Waiver, the Special Deals, the Bonus Issue and the issue of Creditor Shares are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned; and (ii) the Open Offer, the Subscription, the Whitewash Waiver, the Special Deals, the Bonus Issue and the issue of Creditor Shares are in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Shareholders, as well as the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders, to vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Open Offer, the Subscription, the Whitewash Waiver, the Special Deals, the Bonus Issue and the issue of Creditor Shares.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Messis Capital Limited Robert Siu Executive Director

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 March 2013

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

U-RIGHT International Holdings Limited (Provisional Liquidators Appointed) (the “Company”) was incorporated in Bermuda as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda. The address of its registered office is Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM11, Bermuda. The principal place of business is 35th Floor, One Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, Hong Kong. The Company’s shares are listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”) and have been suspended for trading since 17 September 2008.

The Company is an investment holding company. The Group’s principal activities are trading and retailing of fashion garments, textiles and leathers.

2. WINDING-UP PETITION AND APPOINTMENT OF PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

On 6 October 2008, Deutsche Bank A.G., Hong Kong Branch (the “Petitioner”) presented petitions (the “Petitions” and each referred to as “Petition”) to the High Court (the “High Court”) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“Hong Kong”) for the winding up of each of the Company and Uni-Capital Limited (In Liquidation) (“Uni-Capital”), an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as the Company and Uni-Capital could not meet demands made against the Company and Uni-Capital for the repayment of outstanding debts. Upon the application of the Petitioner, Messrs. LAI Kar Yan Derek and YEUNG Lui Ming of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu were appointed jointly and severally as provisional liquidators of the Company (the “Provisional Liquidators”) and Uni-Capital pursuant to the orders both dated 6 October 2008 made by the High Court.

After the appointment of the Provisional Liquidators on 6 October 2008, the then management of the Company together with the Provisional Liquidators used their best endeavours to maintain the business of the Group both in Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). Notwithstanding the subsequent changes in personnel as the Provisional Liquidators gradually replaced the management team, the total revenue achieved by the Group according to the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2013 was approximately HK$392.64 million.

The hearing of the Petition against the Company was originally scheduled on 10 December 2008 and the High Court adjourned the hearing of the Petition against the Company to 30 September 2013. A winding up order against Uni-Capital was granted by the High Court on 9 November 2009.

3. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Suspension of trading in shares of the Company

At the request of the Company, trading in shares of the Company had been suspended since 17 September 2008.

On 6 October 2008, the Petitioner petitioned for the winding-up of the Company as the Company could not meet demands for the repayment of outstanding debts. Upon the application of the Petitioner, on 6 October 2008, the Provisional Liquidators were appointed.

On 16 May 2009, the Provisional Liquidators, Advance Lead International Limited (the “Investor”), the Company and an escrow agent, entered into an escrow agreement (as supplemented by the five supplementary agreements and hereinafter collectively referred as to the “Escrow Agreement”, unless otherwise specified) for the implementation of the restructuring proposal. Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Provisional Liquidators granted the Investor an exclusive right for a period up to 30 June 2010 (as subsequently extended to 30 September 2013) to negotiate a legally binding restructuring agreement for the implementation of the restructuring proposal.

On 30 July 2009, the Stock Exchange issued a letter to place the Company in the second stage of the delisting procedures under Practice Note 17 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange (the “Listing Rules”).

On 26 February 2010, the Company was placed in the third stage of the delisting procedures pursuant to Practice Note 17 of the Listing Rules and that the Company was required to submit a viable resumption proposal which demonstrates its compliance with the requirements stipulated under Rule 13.24 of the Listing Rules.

APPENDIX I

On 6 August 2010, a directly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, UR Group Limited (“UR Group”) and the Investor entered into a secured loan facility agreement, pursuant to which the Investor agreed to provide a working capital facility up to HK$15,000,000 to UR Group.

On the same day, a directly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Alfreda Limited (“Alfreda”) and the Investor entered into another secured loan facility agreement, pursuant to which the Investor agreed to provide a facility up to HK$20,000,000 to Alfreda as part of the consideration of the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of the entire interest in Sino Hill Group Limited (“Sino Hill”). Three advances of HK$10,000,000, HK$5,000,000 and HK$5,000,000 were drawn down from the Investor on 15 September 2010, 31 January 2011 and 30 September 2011 respectively in respect of the second loan facility agreement.

Details of the S&P Agreement are set out in the Company’s announcement dated 31 August 2010. The Acquisition was completed on 1 October 2011.

On 9 August 2010, the Provisional Liquidators, with the assistance of the financial advisor of the Company, Veda Capital Limited, submitted the resumption proposal to the Stock Exchange.

By an order of the High Court dated 22 March 2013, the hearing of the Petition to the High Court for the winding-up of the Company was further adjourned to 30 September 2013.

After the revised resumption proposal of the Company was submitted to the Stock Exchange on 19 April 2013, the Stock Exchange decided to allow the Company to proceed with the resumption proposal subject to the resumption conditions to be fulfilled by 31 July 2013. Details of the resumption conditions were set out in the Company’s announcement dated 26 April 2013.

Going concern basis

As at 31 March 2013 the Group had net current liabilities of approximately HK$1,594,553,000 (2012: HK$1,586,715,000) and net liabilities of approximately HK$1,579,144,000 (2012: HK$1,588,919,000) respectively. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

To address the issues above, the Provisional Liquidators are in the process of implementing a capital restructuring, a debt restructuring and certain fund raising exercises.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis on the assumption that the proposed restructuring of the Company will be successfully completed, and that, following the restructuring, the Group will continue to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due in the foreseeable future.

Should the Group be unable to achieve a successful restructuring as mentioned above, or alternatively under other available options of restructuring, and therefore be unable to continue its business as a going concern, adjustments might have to be made to the carrying amounts of the Group’s assets to state them at their recoverable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise, and to reclassify non-current assets and liabilities to current assets and liabilities, respectively.

4. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

In the current year, the Group has adopted all the new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants that are relevant to its operations and effective for its accounting year beginning on 1 April 2012. HKFRSs comprise Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards; Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKAS”); and Interpretations. The adoption of these new and revised HKFRSs did not result in significant changes to the Group’s accounting policies, presentation of the Group’s financial statements and amounts reported for the current year and prior years.

The Group has not applied the new and revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Group has already commenced an assessment of the impact of these new and revised HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to state whether these new and revised HKFRSs would have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs, accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the applicable disclosures required by the Listing Rules and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. These financial statements are presented in Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of key assumptions and estimates. It also requires the management of the Group (“Management”) to exercise its judgments in the process of applying the accounting policies. The areas involving critical judgments and areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to these financial statements, are disclosed in note 6 to the financial statements.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made up to 31 March. Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has control. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group has control.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date the control ceases.

The gain or loss on the disposal of a subsidiary that results in a loss of control represents the difference between (i) the fair value of the consideration of the sale plus the fair value of any investment retained in that subsidiary and (ii) the Company’s share of the net assets of that subsidiary plus any remaining goodwill relating to that subsidiary and any related accumulated foreign currency translation reserve.

Intragroup transactions, balances and unrealised profits are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Non-controlling interests represent the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of changes in equity within equity. Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as an allocation of profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the year between the non-controlling interests and owners of the Company.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions (i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners). The carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.

I-10

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Business combination and goodwill

The acquisition method is used to account for the acquisition of a subsidiary in a business combination. The cost of acquisition is measured at the acquisition-date fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued, liabilities incurred and contingent consideration. Acquisition-related costs are recognised as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received. Identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiary in the acquisition are measured at their acquisition-date fair values.

The excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the subsidiary’s identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Any excess of the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognised in consolidated profit or loss as a gain on bargain purchase which is attributed to the Company.

In a business combination achieved in stages, the previously held equity interest in the subsidiary is remeasured at its acquisition-date fair value and the resulting gain or loss is recognised in consolidated profit or loss. The fair value is added to the cost of acquisition to calculate the goodwill.

If the changes in the value of the previously held equity interest in the subsidiary were recognised in other comprehensive income (for example, available-for-sale investment), the amount that was recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised on the same basis as would be required if the previously held equity interest were disposed of.

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. The method of measuring impairment losses of goodwill is the same as that of other assets as stated in the accounting policy “Impairment of assets” below. Impairment losses of goodwill are recognised in consolidated profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition for the purpose of impairment testing.

Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong Dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances in financial statements

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency on initial recognition using the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from this translation policy are recognised in profit or loss.

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair values in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at the dates when the fair values are determined.

When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised in other comprehensive income, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income. When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised in profit or loss, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.

I-11

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

(c) Translation on consolidation

The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency different from the Company’s presentation currency are translated into the Company’s presentation currency as follows:

  • (i) Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position;

  • (ii) Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the exchange rates on the transaction dates); and

  • (iii) All resulting exchange differences are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities and of borrowings are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve. When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are recognised in consolidated profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated at rates sufficient to write off their cost less their residual values over the estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The principal annual rate is as follows:

Furniture, fixtures and equipment 18-33%
Leasehold improvement 20-45%
Machinery 9%
Motor vehicle 12.5-18%

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

The gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset, and is recognised in profit or loss.

Operating leases

Leases that do not substantially transfer to the Group all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets are accounted for as operating leases. Lease payments (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average basis. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of all production overhead expenditure, and where appropriate, subcontracting charges. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

I-12

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire; the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets; or the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets but has not retained control on the assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in the profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment. An allowance for impairment of trade and other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the receivables’ carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition. The amount of the allowance is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods and recognised in profit or loss when an increase in the receivables’ recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to the restriction that the carrying amount of the receivables at the date the impairment is reversed shall not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents represent cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are also included as a component of cash and cash equivalents.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument under HKFRSs. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. The accounting policies adopted for specific financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.

Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

Financial guarantee contract liabilities

Financial guarantee contract liabilities are measured initially at their fair values and are subsequently measured at the higher of:

  • (a) the amount of the obligations under the contracts, as determined in accordance with HKAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”; and

  • (b) the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation recognised in the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the terms of the guarantee contracts.

I-13

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Convertible notes

Convertible loans which entitle the holder to convert the loans into a fixed number of equity instruments at a fixed conversion price are regarded as compound instruments consist of a liability and an equity component. At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible debt. The difference between the proceeds of issue of the convertible bonds and the fair value assigned to the liability component, representing the embedded option for the holder to convert the loans into equity of the Group, is included in equity as capital reserve. The liability component is carried as a liability at amortised cost using the effective interest method until extinguished on conversion or redemption.

Transaction costs are apportioned between the liability and equity components of the convertible loans based on their relative carrying amounts at the date of issue. The portion relating to the equity component is charged directly to equity.

If the loans are converted, the capital reserve, together with the carrying amount of the liability component at the time of conversion, is transferred to share capital and share premium as consideration for the shares issued. If the bond is redeemed, the capital reserve is released directly to retained profits.

Convertible loans which entitle the holder to convert the loans into equity instruments, other than into a fixed number of equity instruments at a fixed conversion price, are regarded as combined instruments consist of a liability and a derivative component. At the date of issue, the fair value of the derivative component is determined using an option pricing model; and this amount is carried as a derivative liability until extinguished on conversion or redemption. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the liability component and is carried as a liability at amortised cost using the effective interest method until extinguished on conversion or redemption. The derivative component is measured at fair value with gains and losses recognised in profit or loss.

Transaction costs are apportioned between the liability and derivative components of the convertible loans based on the allocation of proceeds to the liability and derivative components on initial recognition.

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are stated initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue is shown, net of value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts allowed and after eliminating sales within the Group. Revenue is recognised as follows:

  • (a) Revenues from the sales of goods are recognised on the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered and the title has passed to the customers.

  • (b) Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.

Employee benefits

(a) Employee leave entitlements

Employee entitlements to annual leave and long service leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave and long service leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period.

Employee entitlements to sick leave and maternity leave are not recognised until the time of leave.

I-14

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

(b) Pension obligations

The Group operates a defined contribution Mandatory Provident Fund retirement benefits scheme (“MPF Scheme”) under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance, for those employees who are eligible to participate in the MPF Scheme. Contributions are made based on 5% of the employees’ relevant income, subject to a ceiling of monthly relevant income of HK$25,000 (before 1 June 2012: HK$20,000) and are charged to profit or loss as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the MPF Scheme. The assets of the MPF Scheme are held separately from those of the Group in an independently administered fund. The Group’s employer contributions vest fully with the employees when contributed into the MPF Scheme.

The Group also participates in a defined contribution retirement scheme organised by the government in the PRC. The Group is required to contribute a specific percentage of the payroll of its employees to the retirement scheme. The contributions are charged to profit or loss as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the retirement scheme. No forfeited contributions may be used by the employers to reduce the existing level of contributions.

(c) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognised when, and only when, the Group demonstrably commits itself to terminate employment or to provide benefits as a result of voluntary redundancy by having a detailed formal plan which is without realistic possibility of withdrawal.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

To the extent that funds are borrowed generally and used for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is determined by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditures on that asset. The capitalisation rate is the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings of the Group that are outstanding during the period, other than borrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Taxation

Income tax represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit recognised in profit or loss because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

I-15

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Related parties

A related party is a person or entity that is related to the Group.

  • (A) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to the Group if that person:

  • (i) has control or joint control over the Group;

  • (ii) has significant influence over the Group; or

  • (iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Company or of a parent of the Company.

  • (B) An entity is related to the Group if any of the following conditions applies:

  • (i) The entity and the Company are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others).

  • (ii) One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member).

  • (iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party.

  • (iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity.

  • (v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Group or an entity related to the Group. If the Group is itself such a plan, the sponsoring employers are also related to the Group.

  • (vi) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (A).

  • (vii) A person identified in (A)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).

Segment reporting

Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the financial statements, are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the Group’s most senior executive management for the purpose of allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of the Group’s various lines of business.

Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of productions processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.

Impairment of assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets except inventories and receivables to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of any impairment loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

I-16

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditures expected to settle the obligation.

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow is remote.

Events after the reporting period

Events after the reporting period that provide additional information about the Group’s position at the end of the reporting period or those that indicate the going concern assumption is not appropriate are adjusting events and are reflected in the financial statements. Events after the reporting period that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when material.

6. CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS AND KEY ESTIMATES

Critical judgements in applying accounting policies

In the process of applying the accounting policies, Management had made the following judgement that has the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements (apart from those involving estimations, which are dealt with below).

(a) Going concern basis

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which depends upon the Group being able to achieve a successful restructuring and continue its business. Details are explained in note 3 to the financial statements.

(b) Financial results of Xiamen U-Right Garment Co. Ltd. (the “EJV”)

In accordance with an agency agreement, the sales and purchase transactions of the EJV were carried out on the EJV’s behalf by 石獅市意利王製衣發展有限公司 (for identification purpose, Shishi City Yiliwang Clothes Development Co., Ltd.) (“Shishi Yiliwang”) and 廈門大騰工貿有限公司 (for identification purpose, Xiamen Dateng Industry Trade Limited) (“Xiamen Dateng”). Each of them holds 10% of the ownership interest in the EJV. The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that those sales and purchases for the year ended 31 March 2013 have been included in the Group’s current year results. In view of the various terms stipulated in the agency agreement, the Directors regard such accounting treatments as appropriate.

I-17

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below.

(a) Financial guarantee liabilities

The determination of the financial guarantee liabilities involves Management’s estimation. The Group assesses the probability and magnitude of the outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligations and if the expectation differs from the original estimate, such a difference may impact the carrying amount of the financial guarantee liabilities as at 31 March 2013.

(b) Impairment loss for bad and doubtful debts

The Group makes impairment loss for bad and doubtful debts based on assessments of the recoverability of the trade and other receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each debtor. Impairments arise where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be collectible. The identification of bad and doubtful debts requires the use of judgement and estimates. Where the actual result is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact the carrying value of the trade and other receivables and doubtful debt expenses in the year in which such estimate has been changed.

(c) Income tax

The Group is subject to income taxes in several jurisdictions. Significant estimates are required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

(d) Net realisable value of inventories

Net realisable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and selling expense. These estimates are based on the current market condition and the historical experience of manufacturing and selling products of similar nature. It could change significantly as a result of changes in customer taste and competitor actions. The Group will reassess the estimates by the end of each reporting period.

(e) Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

The Group determines the estimated useful lives, residual values and related depreciation charges for the Group’s property, plant and equipment. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. The Group will revise the depreciation charge where useful lives and residual values are different to those previously estimated, or it will write-off or write-down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold.

(f) Impairment of goodwill

Management reviews and determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. The carrying amount of goodwill at the end of the reporting period was approximately HK$14,202,000. No impairment loss was recognised during the year ended 31 March 2013.

7. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The major financial instruments of the Group include trade and other receivables, bank and cash balances, trade payables, financial guarantee liabilities, convertible notes and promissory note. The activities of the Group expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

I-18

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Risk management is carried out by the Directors under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Directors identify, evaluate and hedge financial risks in close co-operation with the Group’s operating units.

(a) Market risk

Foreign exchange risk

The Group has minimal exposure to foreign currency risk as most of its business transactions, assets and liabilities are principally denominated in the functional currencies of the Group entities or United States dollars for Hong Kong dollars functional currency Group entities. The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy in respect of foreign currency assets and liabilities. The Group will monitor its foreign currency exposure closely and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

Interest rate risk

As at 31 March 2013, the Group did not have significant interest rate risk.

(b) Credit risk

The Group is exposed to credit risk mainly in relation to its trade and other receivables, cash deposits with banks and maximum exposure of credit risk is equal to the carrying amounts of these financial assets. Cash and bank transactions counterparties are limited to financial institutions with good credit rating assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

At the end of the reporting period, the Group had certain concentration of credit risk as approximately 20% (2012: 26%) and approximately 66% (2012: 57%) of the Group’s trade receivables were due from the Group’s largest trade debtor and the five largest trade debtors, respectively. The Group has policies in place to ensure that sales of products are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. The Group reviews the recoverable amount of the trade and other receivables on a regular basis and provision for doubtful debts is made in accordance with the Group’s policies. In addition, the Management reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt regularly to ensure that adequate impairment losses are recognised for irrecoverable debts. In this regard, the Management considers that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its current obligations when they fall due.

The Management has given careful consideration on the measures currently undertaken in respect of the Group’s liquidity position. The Management believes that the Group will be able to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due upon the completion of the proposed restructuring of the Company, as further explained in note 3 to the financial statements.

(d) Fair values

The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities as reflected in the consolidated statement of financial position approximate their respective fair values.

HK$’000 HK$’000
Arising on acquisition of a subsidiary 14,202 14,202

The Group acquired 100% equity interest of Sino Hill on 1 October 2011. This transaction has been accounted for by the acquisition method of accounting.

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated, at acquisition, to the cash generating units (“CGUs”) that are expected to benefit from that business combination. Before recognition of impairment losses, the carrying amount of goodwill had been allocated to the Sino Hill cash generating unit.

The recoverable amounts of the CGUs are determined from value in use calculation.

The key assumptions for the value in use calculation are those regarding the discount rates, growth rates and budgeted gross margin and turnover during the period. The Group estimates discount rates using pre-tax rates that reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGUs. The growth rates are based on long-term average economic growth rate of the geographical area in which the businesses of the CGUs operate. Budgeted gross margin and turnover are based on past practices and expectations on market development.

The Group prepares cash flow forecasts derived from the most recent financial budgets approved by the Directors for the next five years with the residual period using the growth rate of 5%. This rate does not exceed the average long-term growth rate for the relevant markets.

The rate used to discount the forecasted cash flows from the Sino Hill cash generating unit is 10%.

On 6 August 2010, a directly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, UR Group and the Investor entered into a secured loan facility agreement, pursuant to which the Investor agreed to provide a working capital facility up to HK$15,000,000 to UR Group. The advance of HK$4,800,000 has already been received from the Investor prior to the date of the said agreement. This advance is non-interest bearing, secured by the entire issued share capital of an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, U-RIGHT Trading Development Limited.

At the end of the reporting period, it is probable that the Company will be liable to the potential claims under any of these guarantees. Accordingly, a provision for financial guarantee liabilities of approximately HK$1,118,325,000 as at 31 March 2013 (2012: HK$1,118,325,000) for the Company has been made against the probable uncovered exposures to be borne by the Company under those guarantees at the end of the reporting period.

26. CONVERTIBLE NOTES

Pursuant to a subscription agreement dated 5 October 2006, the Company issued zero coupon convertible notes with principal value of HK$60,000,000 on 19 October 2006 (“CN1”). The holders of CN1 are entitled to convert any part of the principal amount into new ordinary shares of the Company at a conversion price of HK$0.288 each, subject to adjustments, at any time between the date of issue of CN1 and 19 October 2011. Any convertible notes not converted before 19 October 2011 would be redeemed at 137.69 per cent of its principal amount on 19 October 2011. During the year ended 31 March 2008, part of the CN1 with principal value of HK$30,000,000 have been converted into ordinary shares of the Company.

Pursuant to a subscription agreement dated 23 October 2007, the Company issued convertible notes with principal value of HK$24,000,000 on 15 November 2007 (“CN2”). The holders of CN2 are entitled to convert any part of the principal amount into new ordinary shares of the Company at a conversion price of HK$0.341 each, subject to adjustments, at any time between the date of issue of CN2 and 15 November 2010. Any convertible notes not converted before 15 November 2010 would be redeemed at 135.00 per cent of its principal amount on 15 November 2010. CN2 bears interests at 6 months HIBOR plus 1% per annum payable semi-annually until their settlement date.

During the year ended 31 March 2009, an event of default occurred in respect of the convertible notes with liability component totaling approximately HK$65,098,000 as at 31 March 2009 and such amounts have become repayable on demand. The liability component of convertible notes, together with the corresponding finance cost, was therefore reclassified as a current liability.

30. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

Equity-settled share option scheme

The share option scheme of the Company (the “Share Option Scheme”) was adopted at the special general meeting of the Company on 9 July 2002 for the purpose of providing incentives or rewards to eligible participants for their contribution to the Group and/or to enable the Group to recruit and retain high-calibre employees and attract human resources that are valuable to the Group and any entity in which the Group holds any equity interest (the “Invested Entity”). Eligible participants of the Share Option Scheme include the directors and employees of the Company, its subsidiaries or any Invested Entity, suppliers and customers of the Group or any Invested Entity, any person or entity that provides research, development or other technological support to the Group or any Invested Entity, and any shareholder of any member of the Group or any Invested Entity or any holder of any securities issued by any member of the Group or any Invested Entity. The Share Option Scheme should, unless otherwise terminated or amended, remain in force for 10 years from 17 July 2002.

The maximum number of shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding share options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company must not exceed 30% of the total number of shares in issue from time to time. The total number of shares which may be issued upon exercise of all share options granted and to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company shall not in aggregate exceed 10% of the total number of shares in issue on 31 August 2007 (i.e. not exceeding 351,191,691 shares of the Company). Share options lapsed in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Company will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the 10% limit.

The Company may seek approval of the shareholders in the general meeting for refreshing the 10% limit under the Share Option Scheme save that the total number of shares which may be issued upon exercise of all share options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company under the limit as refreshed shall not exceed 10% of the total number of shares in issue as at the date of approval of the limit as refreshed. Share options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Company (including share options outstanding, cancelled, lapsed or exercised in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Company) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the limit as refreshed. The total number of shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of the share options granted to each eligible participant (including both exercised and outstanding options) in any 12-month period shall not exceed 1% of the total number of shares in issue.

The exercise price of the share options is determinable by the Directors, but may not be less than the highest of (i) the closing price of the Company’s shares as stated in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotation sheets on the date of the offer of the share options which must be trading day; (ii) the average closing price of the Company’s shares as stated in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotation sheets for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of the offer; and (iii) the nominal value of the Company’s shares.

At 31 March 2012, the total number of the Company’s shares currently available for issue under the Share Option Scheme is 351,191,691, representing 9.8% of the issued share capital of the Company shares after the refreshment of the scheme mandate limit.

The Company did not have any outstanding share options granted under the Share Option Scheme during the year ended 31 March 2012.

As the Directors decided not to extend the Share Option Scheme nor adopt a new share option scheme for the Company, the operation of the Share Option Scheme was ceased from 17 July 2012.

APPENDIX I

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 March 2012

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

U-RIGHT International Holdings Limited (Provisional Liquidators Appointed) (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) was incorporated in Bermuda as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda. The address of its registered office is Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM11, Bermuda. The principal place of business is 35th Floor, One Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, Hong Kong. The Company’s shares are listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”) and have been suspended for trading since 17 September 2008.

The Company is an investment holding company. The Group’s principal activities are trading and retailing of fashion garments, textiles and leathers.

2. WINDING-UP PETITION AND APPOINTMENT OF PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

On 6 October 2008, Deutsche Bank A.G., Hong Kong Branch (the “Petitioner”) presented petitions (the “Petitions” and each referred to as “Petition”) to the High Court (the “High Court”) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“Hong Kong”) for the winding up of each of the Company and Uni-Capital Limited (In Liquidation) (“Uni-Capital”), an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as the Company and Uni-Capital could not meet demands made against the Company and Uni-Capital for the repayment of outstanding debts. Upon the application of the Petitioner, Messrs. LAI Kar Yan Derek and YEUNG Lui Ming of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu were appointed jointly and severally as provisional liquidators of the Company (the “Provisional Liquidators”) and Uni-Capital pursuant to the orders both dated 6 October 2008 made by the High Court.

The Provisional Liquidators are empowered, inter alia, to take possession of the assets of the Group, to close or cease or operate all or any part of the business operations of the Group, to take control of such of the subsidiaries of the Company, joint ventures, associated companies or other entities in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries holds an interest and to consider if thought to be in the best interests of creditors of the Company, to enter into discussions and negotiations for and on behalf of the Company for the purpose of, but not limited to, restructuring of the Company’s business, operations, or indebtedness or to implement a scheme of arrangement between the Company and its creditors and/or shareholders for such restructuring.

After the appointment of the Provisional Liquidators on 6 October 2008, the then management of the Company together with the Provisional Liquidators used their best endeavours to maintain the business of the Group both in Hong Kong and the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). Notwithstanding the subsequent changes in personnel as the Provisional Liquidators gradually replaced the management team, the total revenue achieved by the Group according to the financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2012 was approximately HK$397.94 million.

The hearing of the Petition against the Company was originally scheduled on 10 December 2008 and the High Court adjourned the hearing of the Petition against the Company to 24 September 2012. A winding up order against Uni-Capital was granted by the High Court on 9 November 2009.

3. BASIS OF PREPARATION

Suspension of trading in shares of the Company

At the request of the Company, trading in shares of the Company had been suspended since 17 September 2008.

On 6 October 2008, the Petitioner petitioned for the winding-up of the Company as the Company could not meet demands for the repayment of outstanding debts. Upon the application of the Petitioner, on 6 October 2008, the Provisional Liquidators were appointed.

On 16 May 2009, the Provisional Liquidators, Advance Lead International Limited (the “Investor”), the Company and an escrow agent, entered into an escrow agreement (as supplemented by the four supplementary agreements and hereinafter collectively referred as to the “Escrow Agreement”, unless otherwise specified) for the implementation of the restructuring proposal. Pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Provisional Liquidators granted the Investor an exclusive right for a period up to 30 June 2010 (as subsequently extended to 31 December 2012) to negotiate a legally binding restructuring agreement for the implementation of the restructuring proposal.

I-37

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

On 30 July 2009, the Stock Exchange issued a letter to place the Company in the second stage of the delisting procedures under Practice Note 17 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange (the “Listing Rules”).

On 26 February 2010, the Company was placed in the third stage of the delisting procedures pursuant to Practice Note 17 of the Listing Rules and that the Company was required to submit a viable resumption proposal which demonstrates its compliance with the requirement stipulated under Rule 13.24 of the Listing Rules.

On 6 August 2010, a directly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, UR Group Limited (“UR Group”) and the Investor entered into a secured loan facility agreement, pursuant to which the Investor agreed to provide a working capital facility up to HK$15,000,000 to UR Group. The advance of HK$4,800,000 has already been received from the Investor prior to the date of the said agreement. On the same day, a directly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Alfreda Limited (“Alfreda”) and the Investor entered into another secured loan facility agreement, pursuant to which the Investor agreed to provide a facility up to HK$20,000,000 to Alfreda as part of the consideration of the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of the entire interest in Sino Hill Group Limited (“Sino Hill”). Three advances of HK$10,000,000, HK$5,000,000 and HK$5,000,000 were drawn down from the Investor on 15 September 2010, 31 January 2011 and 30 September 2011 respectively in respect of the second loan facility agreement.

On 9 August 2010, an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Right Season Limited (“Right Season”), entered into a sale and purchase agreement (the “S&P Agreement”) for the Acquisition, at a consideration of HK$40,000,000 by way of cash and the promissory note. Details of the S&P Agreement are set out in the Company’s announcement dated 31 August 2010. The Acquisition was completed on 1 October 2011.

On 9 August 2010, the Provisional Liquidators, with the assistance of the financial advisor of the Company, Veda Capital Limited, submitted the resumption proposal to the Stock Exchange and the resumption proposal is currently under review by the Stock Exchange.

By an order of the High Court dated 15 March 2012, the hearing of the Petition to the High Court for the winding-up of the Company was further adjourned to 24 September 2012.

After the resumption proposal of the Company was submitted to the Stock Exchange on 9 August 2010, the Stock Exchange had made certain queries on the resumption proposal. The Company had replied the Stock Exchange’s queries and the resumption proposal is currently under review by the Stock Exchange which the Stock Exchange had not indicated or confirmed that approval (with or without further conditions) may be granted.

Going concern basis

As at 31 March 2012 the Group had net current liabilities of approximately HK$1,586,715,000 (2011: HK$1,597,231,000) and net liabilities of approximately HK$1,588,919,000 (2011: HK$1,597,198,000) respectively. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

To address the issues above, the Provisional Liquidators have been in discussion and negotiation with the Investor to explore the possibility of injecting new funds into the Group through the proposed restructuring.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis on the assumption that the proposed restructuring of the Company will be successfully completed, and that, following the restructuring, the Group will continue to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due in the foreseeable future.

Should the Group be unable to achieve a successful restructuring as mentioned above, or alternatively under other available options of restructuring, and therefore be unable to continue its business as a going concern, adjustments might have to be made to the carrying amounts of the Group’s assets to state them at their recoverable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise, and to reclassify non-current assets and liabilities to current assets and liabilities, respectively.

I-38

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

4. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

In the current year, the Group has adopted all the new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants that are relevant to its operations and effective for its accounting year beginning on 1 April 2011. HKFRSs comprise Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards; Hong Kong Accounting Standards; and Interpretations. The adoption of these new and revised HKFRSs did not result in significant changes to the Group’s accounting policies, presentation of the Group’s financial statements and amounts reported for the current year and prior years.

The Group has not applied the new HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Group has already commenced an assessment of the impact of these new HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to state whether these new HKFRSs would have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs, accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the applicable disclosures required by the Listing Rules and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. These financial statements are presented in Hong Kong Dollars (“HK$”) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of key assumptions and estimates. It also requires the management of the Group (“Management”) to exercise its judgments in the process of applying the accounting policies. The areas involving critical judgments and areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to these financial statements, are disclosed in note 6 to the financial statements.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made up to 31 March. Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has control. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group has control.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date the control ceases.

The gain or loss on the disposal of a subsidiary that results in a loss of control represents the difference between (i) the fair value of the consideration of the sale plus the fair value of any investment retained in that subsidiary and (ii) the Company’s share of the net assets of that subsidiary plus any remaining goodwill relating to that subsidiary and any related accumulated foreign currency translation reserve.

Intragroup transactions, balances and unrealised profits are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Non-controlling interests represent the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position and consolidated statement of changes in equity within equity. Non-controlling interests are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as an allocation of profit or loss and total comprehensive income for the year between the non-controlling interests and owners of the Company.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

I-39

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions (i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners). The carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.

Business combination and goodwill

The acquisition method is used to account for the acquisition of a subsidiary in a business combination. The cost of acquisition is measured at the acquisition-date fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued, liabilities incurred and contingent consideration. Acquisition-related costs are recognised as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received. Identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiary in the acquisition are measured at their acquisition-date fair values.

The excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the subsidiary’s identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Any excess of the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognised in consolidated profit or loss as a gain on bargain purchase which is attributed to the Company.

In a business combination achieved in stages, the previously held equity interest in the subsidiary is remeasured at its acquisition-date fair value and the resulting gain or loss is recognised in consolidated profit or loss. The fair value is added to the cost of acquisition to calculate the goodwill.

If the changes in the value of the previously held equity interest in the subsidiary were recognised in other comprehensive income (for example, available-for-sale investment), the amount that was recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised on the same basis as would be required if the previously held equity interest were disposed of.

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. The method of measuring impairment losses of goodwill is the same as that of other assets as stated in the accounting policy “Impairment of assets” below. Impairment losses of goodwill are recognised in consolidated profit or loss and are not subsequently reversed. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition for the purpose of impairment testing.

Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong Dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

(b) Transactions and balances in financial statements

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency on initial recognition using the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from this translation policy are recognised in profit or loss.

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair values in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rates at the dates when the fair values are determined.

When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised in other comprehensive income, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income. When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised in profit or loss, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.

I-40

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

(c) Translation on consolidation

The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency different from the Company’s presentation currency are translated into the Company’s presentation currency as follows:

  • (i) Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position;

  • (ii) Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the exchange rates on the transaction dates); and

  • (iii) All resulting exchange differences are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities and of borrowings are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve. When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are recognised in consolidated profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in profit or loss during the period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated at rates sufficient to write off their cost less their residual values over the estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The principal annual rate is as follows:

Furniture, fixtures and equipment 18-33%
Leasehold improvement 20-45%
Machinery 9%
Motor vehicle 12.5-18%

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

The gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset, and is recognised in profit or loss.

Operating leases

Leases that do not substantially transfer to the Group all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets are accounted for as operating leases. Lease payments (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average basis. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of all production overhead expenditure, and where appropriate, subcontracting charges. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire; the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets; or the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets but has not retained control on the assets. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in the profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment. An allowance for impairment of trade and other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the allowance is the difference between the receivables’ carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition. The amount of the allowance is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods and recognised in profit or loss when an increase in the receivables’ recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to the restriction that the carrying amount of the receivables at the date the impairment is reversed shall not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents represent cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are also included as a component of cash and cash equivalents.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument under HKFRSs. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. The accounting policies adopted for specific financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.

Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

I-42

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Financial guarantee contract liabilities

Financial guarantee contract liabilities are measured initially at their fair values and are subsequently measured at the higher of:

  • (a) the amount of the obligations under the contracts, as determined in accordance with HKAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”; and

  • (b) the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation recognised in the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the terms of the guarantee contracts.

Convertible notes

Convertible loans which entitle the holder to convert the loans into a fixed number of equity instruments at a fixed conversion price are regarded as compound instruments consist of a liability and an equity component. At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible debt. The difference between the proceeds of issue of the convertible bonds and the fair value assigned to the liability component, representing the embedded option for the holder to convert the loans into equity of the Group, is included in equity as capital reserve. The liability component is carried as a liability at amortised cost using the effective interest method until extinguished on conversion or redemption.

Transaction costs are apportioned between the liability and equity components of the convertible loans based on their relative carrying amounts at the date of issue. The portion relating to the equity component is charged directly to equity.

If the loans are converted, the capital reserve, together with the carrying amount of the liability component at the time of conversion, is transferred to share capital and share premium as consideration for the shares issued. If the bond is redeemed, the capital reserve is released directly to retained profits.

Convertible loans which entitle the holder to convert the loans into equity instruments, other than into a fixed number of equity instruments at a fixed conversion price, are regarded as combined instruments consist of a liability and a derivative component. At the date of issue, the fair value of the derivative component is determined using an option pricing model; and this amount is carried as a derivative liability until extinguished on conversion or redemption. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the liability component and is carried as a liability at amortised cost using the effective interest method until extinguished on conversion or redemption. The derivative component is measured at fair value with gains and losses recognised in profit or loss.

Transaction costs are apportioned between the liability and derivative components of the convertible loans based on the allocation of proceeds to the liability and derivative components on initial recognition.

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are stated initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue is shown, net of value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts allowed and after eliminating sales within the Group. Revenue is recognised as follows:

  • (a) Revenues from the sales of goods are recognised on the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the goods are delivered and the title has passed to the customers.

  • (b) Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.

I-43

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Employee benefits

(a) Employee leave entitlements

Employee entitlements to annual leave and long service leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave and long service leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the end of the reporting period.

Employee entitlements to sick leave and maternity leave are not recognised until the time of leave.

(b) Pension obligations

The Group operates a defined contribution Mandatory Provident Fund retirement benefits scheme (“MPF Scheme”) under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance, for those employees who are eligible to participate in the MPF Scheme. Contributions are made based on 5% of the employees’ relevant income, subject to a ceiling of monthly relevant income of HK$20,000 and are charged to profit or loss as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the MPF Scheme. The assets of the MPF Scheme are held separately from those of the Group in an independently administered fund. The Group’s employer contributions vest fully with the employees when contributed into the MPF Scheme.

The Group also participates in a defined contribution retirement scheme organised by the government in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). The Group is required to contribute a specific percentage of the payroll of its employees to the retirement scheme. The contributions are charged to profit or loss as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the retirement scheme. No forfeited contributions may be used by the employers to reduce the existing level of contributions.

(c) Termination benefits

Termination benefits are recognised when, and only when, the Group demonstrably commits itself to terminate employment or to provide benefits as a result of voluntary redundancy by having a detailed formal plan which is without realistic possibility of withdrawal.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

To the extent that funds are borrowed generally and used for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is determined by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditures on that asset. The capitalisation rate is the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings of the Group that are outstanding during the period, other than borrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Taxation

Income tax represents the sum of the current tax and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit recognised in profit or loss because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

I-44

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

Related parties

A related party is a person or entity that is related to the Group.

  • (A) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to the Group if that person:

  • (i) has control or joint control over the Group;

  • (ii) has significant influence over the Group; or

  • (iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Company or of a parent of the Company.

  • (B) An entity is related to the Group if any of the following conditions applies:

  • (i) The entity and the Company are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others).

  • (ii) One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member).

  • (iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party.

  • (iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity.

  • (v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Group or an entity related to the Group. If the Group is itself such a plan, the sponsoring employers are also related to the Group.

  • (vi) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (A).

  • (vii) A person identified in (A)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).

Segment reporting

Operating segments, and the amounts of each segment item reported in the financial statements, are identified from the financial information provided regularly to the Group’s most senior executive management for the purpose of allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of the Group’s various lines of business.

Individually material operating segments are not aggregated for financial reporting purposes unless the segments have similar economic characteristics and are similar in respect of the nature of products and services, the nature of productions processes, the type or class of customers, the methods used to distribute the products or provide the services, and the nature of the regulatory environment. Operating segments which are not individually material may be aggregated if they share a majority of these criteria.

I-45

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Impairment of assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets except inventories and receivables to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of any impairment loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made. Where the time value of money is material, provisions are stated at the present value of the expenditures expected to settle the obligation.

Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow is remote. Possible obligations, whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless the probability of outflow is remote.

Events after the reporting period

Events after the reporting period that provide additional information about the Group’s position at the end of the reporting period or those that indicate the going concern assumption is not appropriate are adjusting events and are reflected in the financial statements. Events after the reporting period that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when material.

6. CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS AND KEY ESTIMATES

Critical judgements in applying accounting policies

In the process of applying the accounting policies, Management had made the following judgement that has the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

(a) Going concern basis

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which depends upon the Group being able to achieve a successful restructuring and continue its business. Details are explained in note 3 to the financial statements.

(b) Financial results of Xiamen U-Right Garment Co. Ltd. (the “EJV”)

In accordance with an agency agreement, the sales and purchase transactions of the EJV were carried out on the EJV’s behalf by 石獅市意利王制衣發展有限公司 (for identification purpose, Shishi City Yiliwang Clothes Development Co., Ltd.) (“Shishi Yiliwang”) and 廈門大騰工貿有限公司 (for identification purpose, Xiamen Dateng Industry Trade Limited) (“Xiamen Dateng”). Each of them holds 10% of the ownership interest

I-46

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

in the EJV. The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that those sales and purchases for the year ended 31 March 2012 have been included in the Group’s current year results. In view of the various terms stipulated in the agency agreement, the directors regard such accounting treatments as appropriate.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are discussed below.

(a) Financial guarantee liabilities

The determination of the financial guarantee liabilities involves Management’s estimation. The Group assesses the probability and magnitude of the outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligations and if the expectation differs from the original estimate, such a difference may impact the carrying amount of the financial guarantee liabilities as at 31 March 2012.

(b) Impairment loss for bad and doubtful debts

The Group makes impairment loss for bad and doubtful debts based on assessments of the recoverability of the trade and other receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each debtor. Impairments arise where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be collectible. The identification of bad and doubtful debts requires the use of judgement and estimates. Where the actual result is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact the carrying value of the trade and other receivables and doubtful debt expenses in the year in which such estimate has been changed.

(c) Income tax

The Group is subject to income taxes in several jurisdictions. Significant estimates are required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

(d) Net realisable value of inventories

Net realisable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and selling expense. These estimates are based on the current market condition and the historical experience of manufacturing and selling products of similar nature. It could change significantly as a result of changes in customer taste and competitor actions in response to serve industry cycles. The Group will reassess the estimates by the end of each reporting period.

(e) Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

The Group determines the estimated useful lives, residual values and related depreciation charges for the Group’s property, plant and equipment. This estimate is based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives and residual values of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. The Group will revise the depreciation charge where useful lives and residual values are different to those previously estimated, or it will write-off or write-down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold.

(f) Impairment of goodwill

Management reviews and determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. The carrying amount of goodwill at the end of the reporting period was approximately HK$14,202,000. No impairment loss was recognised during the year ended 31 March 2012.

7. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The major financial instruments of the Group include trade and other receivables, bank and cash balances, trade payables, financial guarantee liabilities, convertible notes and promissory note. The activities of the Group expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

I-47

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Risk management is carried out by the directors of the Company (“Directors”) under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Directors identify, evaluate and hedge financial risks in close co-operation with the Group’s operating units.

(a) Market risk

Foreign exchange risk

The Group has minimal exposure to foreign currency risk as most of its business transactions, assets and liabilities are principally denominated in the functional currencies of the Group entities or United States dollars for Hong Kong dollars functional currency Group entities. The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy in respect of foreign currency assets and liabilities. The Group will monitor its foreign currency exposure closely and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

Interest rate risk

As at 31 March 2012, the Group did not have significant interest rate risk.

(b) Credit risk

The Group is exposed to credit risk mainly in relation to its trade and other receivables, cash deposits with banks and maximum exposure of credit risk is equal to the carrying amounts of these financial assets. Cash and bank transactions counterparties are limited to financial institutions with good credit rating assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

At the end of the reporting period, the Group had certain concentration of credit risk as approximately 26% (2011: 30%) and approximately 57% (2011: 63%) of the Group’s trade receivables were due from the Group’s largest trade debtor and the five largest trade debtors, respectively. The Group has policies in place to ensure that sales of products are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. The Group reviews the recoverable amount of the trade and other receivables on a regular basis and provision for doubtful debts is made in accordance with the Group’s policies. In addition, the Management reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt regularly to ensure that adequate impairment losses are recognised for irrecoverable debts. In this regard, the Management considers that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is unable to meet its current obligations when they fall due.

The Management has given careful consideration on the measures currently undertaken in respect of the Group’s liquidity position. The Management believes that the Group will be able to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due upon the completion of the Proposed Restructuring, as further explained in note 3 to the financial statements.

(d) Fair values

The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities as reflected in the consolidated statement of financial position approximate their respective fair values.

8. REVENUE

Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold, less value-added tax, goods returns and trade discounts during the year.

Arising on acquisition of a subsidiary 14,202

The Group acquired 100% of equity interest in Sino Hill on 1 October 2011. This transaction has been accounted for by the acquisition method of accounting.

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated, at acquisition, to the cash generating units (“CGUs”) that are expected to benefit from that business combination. The carrying amount of goodwill had been allocated to the Sino Hill cash generating unit.

The recoverable amounts of the CGUs are determined from value in use calculation.

The key assumptions for the value in use calculation are those regarding the discount rates, growth rates and budgeted gross margin and turnover during the period. The Group estimates discount rates using pre-tax rates that reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGUs. The growth rates are based on long-term average economic growth rate of the geographical area in which the businesses of the CGUs operate. Budgeted gross margin and turnover are based on past practices and expectations on market development.

I-52

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The Group prepares cash flow forecasts derived from the most recent financial budgets approved by the Directors for the next five years with the residual period using the growth rate of 5%. This rate does not exceed the average long-term growth rate for the relevant markets.

The rate used to discount the forecasted cash flows from the Sino Hill cash generating unit is 10%.

52,212 33,084

At the end of the reporting period, the trade receivables with the carrying amounts of approximately HK$6,698,000 (2011: HK$4,100,000) were past due but not impaired. Approximately HK$2,961,000 and HK$3,737,000 (2011: approximately HK$2,244,000 and HK$1,856,000) of which were falling within the ageing band from 91 to 120 days and over 120 days respectively.

These advances are non-interest bearing, secured by the entire issued share capital of an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Right Season, and repayable on 31 December 2012.

25. FINANCIAL GUARANTEE LIABILITIES

The Company has provided corporate guarantees for certain bank loans of its subsidiaries which had been deconsolidated from the consolidated financial statements of the Group since 1 April 2008. At the end of the reporting period, it is probable that the Company will be liable to the potential claims under any of these guarantees. Accordingly, a provision for financial guarantee liabilities of approximately HK$1,118,325,000 as at 31 March 2012 (2011: HK$1,118,325,000) for the Company has been made against the probable uncovered exposures to be borne by the Company under those guarantees at the end of the reporting period.

26. CONVERTIBLE NOTES

Pursuant to a subscription agreement dated 5 October 2006, the Company issued zero coupon convertible notes with principal value of HK$60,000,000 on 19 October 2006 (“CN1”). The holders of CN1 are entitled to convert any part of the principal amount into new ordinary shares of the Company at a conversion price of HK$0.288 each, subject to adjustments, at any time between the date of issue of CN1 and 19 October 2011. Any convertible notes not converted before 19 October 2011 will be redeemed at 137.69 per cent of its principal amount on 19 October 2011. During the year ended 31 March 2008, part of the CN1 with principal value of HK$30,000,000 have been converted into ordinary shares of the Company.

Pursuant to a subscription agreement dated 23 October 2007, the Company issued convertible notes with principal value of HK$24,000,000 on 15 November 2007 (“CN2”). The holders of CN2 are entitled to convert any part of the principal amount into new ordinary shares of the Company at a conversion price of HK$0.341 each, subject to adjustments, at any time between the date of issue of CN2 and 15 November 2010. Any convertible notes not converted before 15 November 2010 will be redeemed at 135.00 per cent of its principal amount on 15 November 2010. CN2 bears interests at 6 months HIBOR plus 1% per annum payable semi-annually until their settlement date.

During the year ended 31 March 2009, an event of default occurred in respect of the convertible notes with liability component totaling approximately HK$65,098,000 as at 31 March 2009 and such amounts have become repayable on demand. The liability component of convertible notes, together with the corresponding finance cost, was therefore reclassified as a current liability.

The liability component of convertible notes recognised at the end of the reporting period is analysed as follows:

CN1 CN2 Total
HK$’000 HK$’000 HK$’000
Liability component at 1 April 2010 36,585 31,053 67,638
Interest charged 2,592 1,347 3,939
Liability component at 31 March 2011
and 1 April 2011 39,177 32,400 71,577
Interest charged 3,071 891 3,962
Liability component at 31 March 2012 42,248 33,291 75,539

The interest charged for the years ended 31 March 2012 and 2011 for CN1 and CN2 are calculated with reference to the terms of the convertible notes and taking into consideration that the convertible notes were in default.

Eligible participants of the Share Option Scheme include the directors and employees of the Company, its subsidiaries or any Invested Entity, suppliers and customers of the Group or any Invested Entity, any person or entity that provides research, development or other technological support to the Group or any Invested Entity, and any shareholder of any member of the Group or any Invested Entity or any holder of any securities issued by any member of the Group or any Invested Entity. The Share Option Scheme should, unless otherwise terminated or amended, remain in force for 10 years from 17 July 2002.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The maximum number of shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding share options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company must not exceed 30% of the total number of shares in issue from time to time. The total number of shares which may be issued upon exercise of all share options granted and to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company shall not in aggregate exceed 10% of the total number of shares in issue on 31 August 2007 (i.e. not exceeding 351,191,691 shares of the Company). Share options lapsed in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Company will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the 10% limit.

The Company may seek approval of the shareholders in the general meeting for refreshing the 10% limit under the Share Option Scheme save that the total number of shares which may be issued upon exercise of all share options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company under the limit as refreshed shall not exceed 10% of the total number of shares in issue as at the date of approval of the limit as refreshed. Share options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Company (including share options outstanding, cancelled, lapsed or exercised in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Company) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the limit as refreshed. The total number of shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of the share options granted to each eligible participant (including both exercised and outstanding options) in any 12-month period shall not exceed 1% of the total number of shares in issue.

The exercise price of the share options is determinable by the Directors, but may not be less than the highest of (i) the closing price of the Company’s shares as stated in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotation sheets on the date of the offer of the share options which must be trading day; (ii) the average closing price of the Company’s shares as stated in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotation sheets for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of the offer; and (iii) the nominal value of the Company’s shares.

At 31 March 2012, the total number of the Company’s shares currently available for issue under the Share Option Scheme is 351,191,691 (2011: 351,191,691), representing 9.8% (2011: 9.8%) of the issued share capital of the Company shares after the refreshment of the scheme mandate limit.

The Company did not have any outstanding share options granted under the Share Option Scheme during the two years ended 31 March 2012 and 2011.

The Directors decide not to extend the Share Option Scheme, which will be expired on 17 July 2012, nor adopt a new share option scheme for the Company.

31. ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARY – SINO HILL

2. THE AUDITORS’ REPORTS FOR THE THREE YEARS ENDED 31 MARCH 2013

Disclaimer of opinion had been given in the auditor’s reports issued by ANDA CPA Limited in respect of the three years ended 31 March 2013, 2012 and 2011.

The auditors’ reports for the years ended 31 March 2013, 2012 and 2011 are set out below:

(a) For the year ended 31 March 2013

The Company’s auditor has qualified the report on the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2013, an extract of which is as follows:

“We were engaged to audit the consolidated financial statements of U-RIGHT International Holdings Limited (Provisional Liquidators Appointed) (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) set out on pages 23 to 63, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2013, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit and to report our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with section 90 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. Except for the inability to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence as explained below, we conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. Because of the matters as described in the basis for disclaimer of opinion paragraphs, however, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.

I-62

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Basis for disclaimer of opinion

1. Opening balances and corresponding figures

Our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2012 (the “2012 Financial Statements”), which form the basis for the corresponding figures presented in the current year’s consolidated financial statements, was disclaimed because of the significance of the possible effect of the limitations on the scope of our audit and the material uncertainty in relation to going concern, details of which are set out in our audit report dated 26 June 2012. Accordingly, we were then unable to form an opinion as to whether the 2012 Financial Statements gave a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group as at 31 March 2012 and of the Group’s results and cash flows for the year then ended.

2. Deconsolidation of the subsidiaries

Certain subsidiaries of the Company were deconsolidated from the Group since 1 April 2008. No sufficient evidence has been provided to satisfy ourselves as to whether the Company had lost control of the subsidiaries since 1 April 2008 and throughout the year ended 31 March 2013.

Accordingly, no sufficient evidence has been provided to satisfy ourselves, in relation to the deconsolidated subsidiaries, as to the completeness of the transactions of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2013 and the Group’s financial position as at that date.

3. Financial guarantee liabilities

No direct confirmation and other sufficient evidence have been received by us up to the date of this report in respect of the financial guarantee liabilities of approximately HK$1,118,325,000 as at 31 March 2013 in the consolidated statement of financial position.

4. Due to deconsolidated subsidiaries

No direct confirmation and other sufficient evidence have been received by us up to the date of this report in respect of the amounts due to deconsolidated subsidiaries of approximately HK$416,314,000 as at 31 March 2013 in the consolidated statement of financial position.

5. Commitments and contingent liabilities

No sufficient evidence has been provided to satisfy ourselves as to the existence and completeness of the disclosures of commitments and contingent liabilities as at 31 March 2013.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Any adjustments to the figures as described from points 1 to 5 above might have a significant consequential effect on the Group’s results for the two years ended 31 March 2012 and 2013, the Group’s cash flows for the two years ended 31 March 2012 and 2013 and the financial positions of the Group as at 31 March 2012 and 2013, and the related disclosures thereof in the consolidated financial statements.

Material uncertainty relating to the going concern basis

In forming our opinion, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosures made in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements which explains that a proposal for the resumption of trading in the Company’s shares and the restructuring of the Group is in the process of being implemented.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis on the assumption that the proposed restructuring of the Company will be successfully completed, and that, following the restructuring, the Group will continue to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due in the foreseeable future. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from a failure to complete the restructuring. We consider that the disclosures are adequate. However, in view of the extent of the uncertainty relating to the completion of the restructuring, we disclaim our opinion in respect of the material uncertainty relating to the going concern basis.

Disclaimer of opinion

Because of the significance of the matters described in the basis for disclaimer of opinion paragraphs and the material uncertainty relating to the going concern basis as described above, we do not express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as to whether they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group as at 31 March 2013 and of the Group’s results and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards. In all other respects, in our opinion the consolidated financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.”

APPENDIX I

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit and to report our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with section 90 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. Except for the inability to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence as explained below, we conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. Because of the matters as described in the basis for disclaimer of opinion paragraphs, however, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.

Basis for disclaimer of opinion

1. Opening balances and corresponding figures

Our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2011 (the “2011 Financial Statements”), which form the basis for the corresponding figures presented in the current year’s consolidated financial statements, was disclaimed because of the significance of the possible effect of the limitations on the scope of our audit and the material uncertainty in relation to going concern, details of which are set out in our audit report dated 27 June 2011. Accordingly, we were then unable to form an opinion as to whether the 2011 Financial Statements gave a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group as at 31 March 2011 and of the Group’s results and cash flows for the year then ended.

2. Deconsolidation of the subsidiaries

Certain subsidiaries of the Company were deconsolidated from the Group since 1 April 2008. No sufficient evidence has been provided to satisfy ourselves as to whether the Company had lost control of the subsidiaries since 1 April 2008 and throughout the year ended 31 March 2012.

I-65

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Accordingly, no sufficient evidence has been provided to satisfy ourselves, in relation to the deconsolidated subsidiaries, as to the completeness of the transactions of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2012 and the Group’s financial position as at that date.

3. Financial guarantee liabilities

No direct confirmation and other sufficient evidence have been received by us up to the date of this report in respect of the financial guarantee liabilities of approximately HK$1,118,325,000 as at 31 March 2012 in the consolidated statement of financial position.

4. Due to deconsolidated subsidiaries

No direct confirmation and other sufficient evidence have been received by us up to the date of this report in respect of the amounts due to deconsolidated subsidiaries of approximately HK$416,314,000 as at 31 March 2012 in the consolidated statement of financial position.

5. Commitments and contingent liabilities

No sufficient evidence has been provided to satisfy ourselves as to the existence and completeness of the disclosures of commitments and contingent liabilities as at 31 March 2012.

Any adjustments to the figures as described from points 1 to 5 above might have a significant consequential effect on the Group’s results for the two years ended 31 March 2011 and 2012, the Group’s cash flows for the two years ended 31 March 2011 and 2012 and the financial positions of the Group as at 31 March 2011 and 2012, and the related disclosures thereof in the consolidated financial statements.

Material uncertainty relating to the going concern basis

In forming our opinion, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosures made in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements which explains that a proposal for the resumption of trading in the Company’s shares and the restructuring of the Group (the “Resumption Proposal”) was submitted to The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited on 9 August 2010.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis on the assumption that the proposed restructuring of the Company will be successfully completed, and that, following the restructuring, the Group will continue to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due in the foreseeable future. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from a failure to complete the restructuring. We consider that the disclosures are adequate. However, in view of the extent of the uncertainty relating to the completion of the restructuring, we disclaim our opinion in respect of the material uncertainty relating to the going concern basis.

I-66

APPENDIX I

Disclaimer of opinion

Because of the significance of the matters described in the basis for disclaimer of opinion paragraphs and the material uncertainty relating to the going concern basis as described above, we do not express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as to whether they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group as at 31 March 2012 and of the Group’s results and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards. In all other respects, in our opinion the consolidated financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.”

(c) For the year ended 31 March 2011

The Company’s auditor has qualified the reports on the Group’s consolidated financial statement for the year ended 31 March 2011, an extract of which is as follows:

“We were engaged to audit the consolidated financial statements of U-RIGHT International Holdings Limited (Provisional Liquidators Appointed) (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) set out on pages 25 to 64, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2011, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of these consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. Because of the matters as described in the basis for disclaimer of opinion paragraphs, however, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.

Basis for disclaimer of opinion

1. Opening balances and corresponding figures

Our audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2010 (the “2010 Financial Statements”), which form the basis for the corresponding figures presented in the current year’s consolidated financial statements, was disclaimed because of the significance of the possible effect of the limitations on the scope of our audit and the material uncertainty in relation to going concern, details of which are set out in our audit report dated 28 September 2010. Accordingly, we were then unable to form an opinion as to whether the 2010 Financial Statements gave a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group as at 31 March 2010 and of the Group’s results and cash flows for the year then ended.

2. Deconsolidation of the subsidiaries

Certain subsidiaries of the Company were deconsolidated from the Group since 1 April 2008. No sufficient evidence has been provided to satisfy ourselves as to whether the Company had lost control of the subsidiaries since 1 April 2008 and throughout the year ended 31 March 2011.

Accordingly, no sufficient evidence has been provided to satisfy ourselves, in relation to the deconsolidated subsidiaries, as to the completeness of the transactions of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2011 and the Group’s financial position as at that date.

3. Financial guarantee liabilities

4. Due to deconsolidated subsidiaries

No direct confirmation and other sufficient evidence have been received by us up to the date of this report in respect of the amounts due to deconsolidated subsidiaries of approximately HK$416,323,000 as at 31 March 2011 in the consolidated statement of financial position.

5. Commitments and contingent liabilities

No sufficient evidence has been provided to satisfy ourselves as to the existence and completeness of the disclosures of commitments and contingent liabilities as at 31 March 2011.

Any adjustments to the figures as described from points 1 to 5 above might have a significant consequential effect on the Group’s results for the two years ended 31 March 2010 and 2011, the Group’s cash flows for the two years ended 31 March 2010 and 2011 and the financial positions of the Group as at 31 March 2010 and 2011, and the related disclosures thereof in the consolidated financial statements.

Material uncertainty relating to the going concern basis

In forming our opinion, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosures made in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements which explains that a proposal for the resumption of trading in the Company’s shares and the restructuring of the Group (the “Resumption Proposal”) was submitted to The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited on 9 August 2010.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis on the assumption that the proposed restructuring of the Company will be successfully completed, and that, following the restructuring, the Group will continue to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due in the foreseeable future. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from a failure to complete the restructuring. We consider that the disclosures are adequate. However, in view of the extent of the uncertainty relating to the completion of the restructuring, we disclaim our opinion in respect of the material uncertainty relating to the going concern basis.

Disclaimer of opinion

Because of the significance of the matters described in the basis for disclaimer of opinion paragraphs and the material uncertainty relating to the going concern basis as described above, we do not express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as to whether they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group as at 31 March 2011 and of the Group’s results and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards. In all other respects, in our opinion the consolidated financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.”

It is the intention of the Investor that following the Completion, the Restructured Group will continue with the Group’s existing principal activities of engaging in wholesaling of garments, textiles as well as materials and retailing of fashion garments.

Upon completion of the Capital Restructuring, the Company will have greater flexibility for future fundraising activities.

Upon completion of the Open Offer and the Subscription, it is expected that additional income will be with Admitted Claims generated to the Group of which will be used (i) to settle the payment to the Creditors under the Scheme; (ii) to repay the drawn portion of the Working Capital Loans and settle the promissory note as part of the consideration of the Acquisition; (iii) to provide additional investment to operate and expand the Restructured Group’s garment retail business upon Resumption; and (iv) the Board believes that the Company would have sufficient level of operations and assets under Rule 13.24 of the Listing Rules.

4. INDEBTEDNESS STATEMENT

As at the close of business on 31 May 2013, being the Latest Practicable Date for the purpose of ascertaining the indebtedness of the Group prior to the printing of this circular, the Group had total outstanding borrowings of approximately HK$526 million, comprising the amount due to deconsolidated subsidiaries of approximately HK$417 million; the amount due to the Investor of approximately HK$11 million which is secured by the entire issued share capital of an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Right Season; convertible notes of approximately HK$79 million; and promissory note of approximately HK$19 million.

As at the close of business on 31 May 2013, in addition to the above, the Group had financial guarantee liabilities of approximately HK$1,118 million arising from the corporate guarantees provided by the Company to its subsidiary over the bank loans maintained by the subsidiary which was deconsolidated from the consolidated financial statements of the Group since 1 April 2008.

Save as aforesaid and apart from intra-group liabilities and normal trade payables in the ordinary course of the business, as at the close of business on 31 May 2013, the Group did not have other outstanding mortgages, charges, debentures or other loan capital, bank overdrafts or loans, other similar indebtedness, finance lease or hire purchase commitments, liabilities under acceptance or acceptance credits, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities.

2. INTRODUCTION TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position and the unaudited pro forma statement of adjusted consolidated net tangible assets (collectively the “ Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information ”) of the Group has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the proposed restructuring might have affected the financial position and net tangible assets of the Group.

5. NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

  1. The unadjusted audited consolidated statement of financial position/net liabilities of the Group as at 31 March 2013 is extracted from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2013.

  2. This adjustment represents the effect of the Capital Restructuring which involves, among others, the Share Consolidation and Capital Reduction:

  3. (i) Share Consolidation: every one hundred issued Shares of par value of HK$0.10 each will be consolidated into one Consolidated Share of par value of HK$10.00 each. As a result, the issued share capital of the Company will be consolidated from approximately HK$356,936,000 divided into 3,569,364,916 Shares of HK$0.1 each to approximately HK$356,936,000 divided into 35,693,649 Consolidated Shares of HK$10 each; and

  4. (ii) Capital Reduction: the par value of every Consolidated Share will be reduced from HK$10.00 to HK$0.01 and become a New Share. As a result, the issued share capital of the Company after Share Consolidation and Capital Reduction will be reduced from approximately HK$356,936,000 divided into 35,693,649 Consolidated Shares of HK$10 each to approximately HK$356,936 divided into 35,693,649 New Shares of HK$0.01 each. The decrease in the issued share capital of the Company of approximately HK$356,580,000 will be credited to the accumulated losses of the Company.

  5. This adjustment represents the issue of 178,468,245 Offer Shares under the Open Offer in the proportion of five Offer Shares for every one New Share to the Qualifying Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company as at the close of business on the Record Date at the Offer Price of HK$0.15 per Offer Share with the par value of HK$0.01 each. As a result of the Open Offer, the Group will raise net proceeds of approximately HK$26,101,000 after deducting commission of approximately HK$669,000 relating to the Open Offer, therefore increasing its share capital of approximately HK$1,785,000 and its share premium of approximately HK$24,316,000.

  6. This adjustment represents the issue of 970,000,000 Subscription Shares at the Subscription Price of HK$0.15 per Subscription Share with the par value of HK$0.01 each. As a result of the Subscription, the Group will raise gross proceeds of HK$145,500,000 from the Subscription and the Company’s share capital and share premium will be increased by HK$9,700,000 and HK$135,800,000 respectively.

  7. This adjustment represents the issue of up to 71,387,298 Bonus Shares to the Qualifying Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company as at the close of business on the Record Date in the proportion of two Bonus Shares for every New Share. The Company proposes to credit part of the net proceeds raised from the Open Offer up to the sum of HK$713,872.98 (or such sum as may be necessary to give effect to the Bonus Issue) to the share premium account of the Company and apply such amount to pay up in full at par the Bonus Shares such that the Bonus Shares will be allotted, issued and credited as fully paid.

  8. This adjustment represents the proposed application of the aggregate cash proceeds from the Open Offer and the Subscription (after deducting commission for the Open Offer) for:

  9. (i) payment of the resumption professional fees of approximately HK$21,500,000, of which (a) an amount of approximately HK$2,068,000 unsettled expenses recognised as “accruals and other payables” as at 31 March 2013; and (b) an amount of approximately HK$19,432,000 which is to be recognised as expenses.

  10. (ii) repayment of the drawn portion of the Workings Capital Loans of HK$11,300,000, being the outstanding amount under “due to the Investor” as at 31 March 2013.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

  1. The adjustment represents the settlement of all the indebtedness and liabilities of the Company owing to the Creditors as at the Effective Date by way of the Scheme, under which accruals and other payables of the Company of approximately HK$6,075,000, financial guarantee provided by the Company to deconsolidated subsidiaries of approximately HK$1,118,325,000, convertible notes of the Company of approximately HK$78,367,000 and an amount of approximately HK$268,189,000 due to deconsolidated subsidiaries by the Company will be discharged and released in full against the Company. In accordance with the terms of the Scheme, the following assets will be paid or transferred to SchemeCo:

  2. (i) cash and cash equivalent of the Company as of the Effective Date of approximately HK$7,000,000;

  3. (ii) cash payment of HK$50,000,000 funded by the Company out of the proceeds from the Subscription;

  4. (iii) 66,133,333 Creditor Shares at the issue price of HK$0.15 each will be issued and allotted to the SchemeCo in form of the equity-settled share-based payments, pursuant to which the Company’s share capital will be increased by approximately HK$661,000 and its share premium account will be increased by approximately HK$9,259,000; and

  5. (iv) an amount of approximately HK$444,000 being receivables of the Company as at the Effective Date.

  6. This adjustment represents the Disposal in accordance with the terms of the Scheme. The Disposal will be at a nominal consideration of HK$1 as a term of the Scheme. As result of the Disposal, the Excluded Subsidiaries will cease to be subsidiaries of the Company. In the unadjusted audited consolidated statement as at 31 March 2013, the Excluded Subsidiaries have net liabilities of approximately HK$148,167,000 which included accruals and other payables of approximately HK$42,000 and amount due to deconsolidated subsidiaries of approximately HK$148,125,000. Henceforth, the net liabilities carried by the Excluded Subsidiaries in the unadjusted audited consolidated statement as at 31 March 2013, in the sum of approximately HK$148,167,000 will not be consolidated in the consolidated financial statements of the Group and the accumulated losses of the Group will be decreased by approximately HK$148,167,000.

The management is expecting a stable growth in the Group’s retail business as compared to the year ended 31 March 2013 which is the major cause to the expected increase in the forecast consolidated profit attributable to Shareholders (excluding extraordinary items) in the Forecast Period as compared to the Group’s consolidated profit attributable to the Shareholders for the year ended 31 March 2013.

The ordinary remuneration of the Directors shall from time to time be determined by the Company in general meeting, such remuneration (unless otherwise directed by the resolution by which it is voted) to be divided amongst the Directors in such proportions and in such manner as the board may agree or, failing agreement, equally, except that any Director holding office for part only of the period in respect of which the remuneration is payable shall only rank in such division in proportion to the time during such period for which he held office. The Directors shall also be entitled to be prepaid or repaid all travelling, hotel and incidental expenses reasonably incurred or expected to be incurred by them in attending any board meetings, committee meetings or general meetings or separate meetings of any class of shares or of debentures of the Company or otherwise in connection with the discharge of their duties as Directors.

Any Director who, by request, goes or resides abroad for any purpose of the Company or who performs services which in the opinion of the board go beyond the ordinary duties of a Director may be paid such extra remuneration (whether by way of salary, commission, participation in profits or otherwise) as the board may determine and such extra remuneration shall be in addition to or in substitution for any ordinary remuneration provided for by or pursuant to any other Bye-law.

such persons, including pensions or benefits additional to those, if any, to which such employees or ex-employees or their dependants are or may become entitled under any such scheme or fund as is mentioned in the previous paragraph. Any such pension or benefit may, as the board considers desirable, be granted to an employee either before and in anticipation of, or upon or at any time after, his actual retirement.

(viii) Retirement, appointment and removal

At each annual general meeting, one third of the Directors for the time being (or if their number is not a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not less than one third) will retire from office by rotation provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement at least once every three years. The Directors to retire in every year will be those who have been longest in office since their last re-election or appointment but as between persons who became or were last re-elected Directors on the same day those to retire will (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot.

Note: There are no provisions relating to retirement of Directors upon reaching any age limit.

The Directors shall have the power from time to time and at any time to appoint any person as a Director either to fill a casual vacancy on the board or, subject to authorisation by the members in general meeting, as an addition to the existing board but so that the number of Directors so appointed shall not exceed any maximum number determined from time to time by the members in general meeting. Any Director appointed by the board to fill a casual vacancy shall hold office until the first general meeting of Members after his appointment and be subject to re-election at such meeting and any Director appointed by the board as an addition to the existing board shall hold office only until the next following annual general meeting of the Company and shall then be eligible for re-election. Neither a Director nor an alternate Director is required to hold any shares in the Company by way of qualification.

A Director may be removed by an ordinary resolution of the Company before the expiration of his period of office (but without prejudice to any claim which such Director may have for damages for any breach of any contract between him and the Company) provided that the notice of any such meeting convened for the purpose of removing a Director shall contain a statement of the intention to do so and be served on such Director fourteen (14) days before the meeting and, at such meeting, such Director shall be entitled to be heard on the motion for his removal. Unless otherwise determined by the Company in general meeting, the number of Directors shall not be less than two. There is no maximum number of Directors unless otherwise determined from time to time by members of the Company.

(subject to their continuance as Directors) and upon such terms as the board may determine and the board may revoke or terminate any of such appointments (but without prejudice to any claim for damages that such Director may have against the Company or vice versa). The board may delegate any of its powers, authorities and discretions to committees consisting of such Director or Directors and other persons as the board thinks fit, and it may from time to time revoke such delegation or revoke the appointment of and discharge any such committees either wholly or in part, and either as to persons or purposes, but every committee so formed shall, in the exercise of the powers, authorities and discretions so delegated, conform to any regulations that may from time to time be imposed upon it by the board.

The board may from time to time at its discretion exercise all the powers of the Company to raise or borrow money, to mortgage or charge all or any part of the undertaking, property and assets (present and future) and uncalled capital of the Company and, subject to the Companies Act, to issue debentures, bonds and other securities of the Company, whether outright or as collateral security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any third party.

Note: These provisions, in common with the New Bye-laws in general, can be varied with the sanction of a special resolution of the Company.

(b) Alterations to constitutional documents

The New Bye-laws may be rescinded, altered or amended by the Directors subject to the confirmation of the Company in general meeting. The New Bye-laws state that a special resolution shall be required to alter the provisions of the Memorandum of Association, to confirm any such rescission, alteration or amendment to the New Bye-laws or to change the name of the Company.

(c) Alteration of capital

The Company may from time to time by ordinary resolution in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Companies Act:

  • (i) increase its capital by such sum, to be divided into shares of such amounts as the resolution shall prescribe;

  • (ii) consolidate and divide all or any of its capital into shares of larger amount than its existing shares;

  • (iii) divide its shares into several classes and without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of existing shares as the directors may determine;

To every such separate general meeting the provisions of the New Bye-laws relating to general meetings will mutatis mutandis apply, but so that the necessary quorum (other than at an adjourned meeting) shall be two persons or (in the case of a member being a corporation) its duly authorised representative holding or representing by proxy not less than one-third in nominal value of the issued shares of that class and at any adjourned meeting two holders present in person or (in the case of a member being a corporation) its duly authorised representative or by proxy whatever the number of shares held by them shall be a quorum.

Subject to any special rights or restrictions as to voting for the time being attached to any shares by or in accordance with the New Bye-laws, at any general meeting on a poll every member present in person or by proxy or (being a corporation) by its duly authorised representative shall have one vote for every fully paid share of which he is the holder but so that no amount paid up or credited as paid up on a share in advance of calls or installments is treated for the foregoing purposes as paid up on the share.

A member entitled to more than one vote need not use all his votes or cast all the votes he uses in the same way.

At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting is to be decided by way of a poll save that the chairman of the meeting may in good faith, allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands in which case every member present in person (or being a corporation, is present by a duly authorized representative), or by proxy(ies) shall have one vote provided that where more than one proxy is appointed by a member which is a clearing house (or its nominee(s)), each such proxy shall have one vote on a show of hands.

If a recognised clearing house (or its nominee(s)) is a member of the Company it may authorise such persons as it thinks fit to act as its representative(s) at any meeting of the Company or at any meeting of any class of members of the Company provided that, if more than one person is so authorised, the authorisation shall specify the number and class of shares in respect of which each such person is so authorised. A person authorised pursuant to this provision shall be deemed to have been duly authorised without further evidence of the facts and be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the recognised clearing house (or its nominee(s)) as if such person was the registered holder of the shares held by that clearing house (or its nominee(s)) in respect of the number and class of shares specified in the relevant authorisation including, where a show of hands is allowed, the right to vote individually on a show of hands.

Where the Company has any knowledge that any shareholder is, under the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange (as defined in the New Bye-laws), required to abstain from voting on any particular resolution of the Company or restricted to voting only for or only against any particular resolution of the Company, any votes cast by or on behalf of such shareholder in contravention of such requirement or restriction shall not be counted.

(g) Requirements for annual general meetings

An annual general meeting of the Company must be held in each year other than the year in which its statutory meeting is convened at such time (within a period of not more than 15 months after the holding of the last preceding annual general meeting unless a longer period would not infringe the rules of any Designated Stock Exchange (as defined in the New Bye-laws)) and place as may be determined by the board.

(h) Accounts and audit

The board shall cause true accounts to be kept of the sums of money received and expended by the Company, and the matters in respect of which such receipt and expenditure take place, and of the property, assets, credits and liabilities of the Company and of all other matters required by the provisions of the Companies Act or necessary to give a true and fair view of the Company’s affairs and to explain its transactions.

The accounting records shall be kept at the registered office or, subject to the Companies Act, at such other place or places as the board decides and shall always be open to inspection by any Director. No member (other than a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any accounting record or book or document of the Company except as conferred by law or authorised by the board or the Company in general meeting.

Subject to the Companies Act, a printed copy of the Directors’ report, accompanied by the balance sheet and profit and loss account, including every document required by law to be annexed thereto, made up to the end of the applicable financial year and containing a summary of the assets and liabilities of the Company under convenient heads and a statement of income and expenditure, together with a copy of the auditors’ report, shall be sent to each person entitled thereto at least twenty-one (21) days before the date of the general meeting and at the same time as the notice of annual general meeting and laid before the Company at the annual general meeting in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act provided that this provision shall not require a copy of those documents to be sent to any person whose address the Company is not aware or to more than one of the joint holders of any shares or debentures; however, to the extent permitted by and subject to compliance with all applicable laws, including the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange (as defined in the New Bye-laws), the Company may send to such persons summarised financial statements derived from the Company’s annual accounts and the directors’ report instead provided that any such person may by notice in writing served on the Company, demand that the Company sends to him, in addition to summarised financial statements, a complete printed copy of the Company’s annual financial statement and the directors’ report thereon.

Subject to the Companies Act, at the annual general meeting or at a subsequent special general meeting in each year, the members shall appoint an auditor to audit the accounts of the Company and such auditor shall hold office until the members appoint another auditor. Such auditor may be a member but no Director or officer or employee of the Company shall, during his continuance in office, be eligible to act as an auditor of the Company. The remuneration of the auditor shall be fixed by the Company in general meeting or in such manner as the members may determine.

The financial statements of the Company shall be audited by the auditor in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. The auditor shall make a written report thereon in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the report of the auditor shall be submitted to the members in general meeting. The generally accepted

IV-9

SUMMARY OF THE NEW BYE-LAWS

APPENDIX IV

auditing standards referred to herein may be those of a country or jurisdiction other than Bermuda. If the auditing standards of a country or jurisdiction other than Bermuda are used, the financial statements and the report of the auditor should disclose this fact and name such country and jurisdiction.

(i) Notices of meetings and business to be conducted thereat

An annual general meeting shall be called by notice of not less than twenty-one (21) clear days and not less than twenty (20) clear business days and any special general meeting at which it is proposed to pass a special resolution shall (save as set out in sub-paragraph (e) above) be called by notice of at least twenty-one (21) clear days and not less than ten (10) clear business days. All other special general meetings shall be called by notice of at least fourteen (14) clear days and not less than ten (10) clear business days. The notice must specify the time and place of the meeting and, in the case of special business, the general nature of that business. The notice convening an annual general meeting shall specify the meeting as such.

(j) Transfer of shares

All transfers of shares may be effected in any manner permitted by and in accordance with the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange or by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or in a form prescribed by the Designated Stock Exchange or in such other form as the board may approve and which may be under hand or, if the transferor or transferee is a clearing house or its nominee(s), by hand or by machine imprinted signature or by such other manner of execution as the board may approve from time to time. The instrument of transfer shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and the transferee provided that the board may dispense with the execution of the instrument of transfer by the transferee in any case in which it thinks fit, in its discretion, to do so and the transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of the share until the name of the transferee is entered in the register of members in respect thereof. The board may also resolve either generally or in any particular case, upon request by either the transferor or the transferee, to accept mechanically executed transfers.

The board in so far as permitted by any applicable law may, in its absolute discretion, at any time and from time to time transfer any share upon the principal register to any branch register or any share on any branch register to the principal register or any other branch register.

Unless the board otherwise agrees, no shares on the principal register shall be transferred to any branch register nor may shares on any branch register be transferred to the principal register or any other branch register. All transfers and other documents of title shall be lodged for registration and registered, in the case of shares on a branch register, at the relevant registration office and, in the case of shares on the principal register, at the registered office in Bermuda or such other place in Bermuda at which the principal register is kept in accordance with the Companies Act.

IV-10

SUMMARY OF THE NEW BYE-LAWS

APPENDIX IV

The board may, in its absolute discretion, and without assigning any reason, refuse to register a transfer of any share (not being a fully paid up share) to a person of whom it does not approve or any share issued under any share incentive scheme for employees upon which a restriction on transfer imposed thereby still subsists, and it may also refuse to register any transfer of any share to more than four joint holders or any transfer of any share (not being a fully paid up share) on which the Company has a lien.

The board may decline to recognise any instrument of transfer unless a fee of such maximum sum as any Designated Stock Exchange (as defined in the New Bye-laws) may determine to be payable or such lesser sum as the Directors may from time to time require is paid to the Company in respect thereof, the instrument of transfer, if applicable, is properly stamped, is in respect of only one class of share and is lodged at the relevant registration office or registered office or such other place at which the principal register is kept accompanied by the relevant share certificate(s) and such other evidence as the board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer (and if the instrument of transfer is executed by some other person on his behalf, the authority of that person so to do).

The registration of transfers may be suspended and the register closed on giving notice by advertisement in an appointed newspaper and, where applicable, any other newspapers in accordance with the requirements of any Designated Stock Exchange (as defined in the New Bye-laws), at such times and for such periods as the board may determine and either generally or in respect of any class of shares. The register of members shall not be closed for periods exceeding in the whole thirty (30) days in any year.

(k) Power for the Company to purchase its own shares

The New Bye-laws supplement the Company’s Memorandum of Association (which gives the Company the power to purchase its own shares) by providing that the power is exercisable by the board upon such terms and conditions as it thinks fit.

(l) Power for any subsidiary of the Company to own shares in the Company

There are no provisions in the New Bye-laws relating to ownership of shares in the Company by a subsidiary.

(m) Dividends and other methods of distribution

Subject to the Companies Act, the Company in general meeting may declare dividends in any currency to be paid to the members but no dividend shall be declared in excess of the amount recommended by the board. The Company in general meeting may also make a distribution to its members out of contributed surplus (as ascertained in accordance with the Companies Act). No dividend shall be paid or distribution made out of contributed surplus if to do so would render the Company unable to pay its liabilities as they become due or the realisable value of its assets would thereby become less than its liabilities.

IV-11

SUMMARY OF THE NEW BYE-LAWS

APPENDIX IV

Except in so far as the rights attaching to, or the terms of issue of, any share may otherwise provide, (i) all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the shares in respect whereof the dividend is paid but no amount paid up on a share in advance of calls shall for this purpose be treated as paid up on the share and (ii) all dividends shall be apportioned and paid pro rata according to the amount paid up on the shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid. The Directors may deduct from any dividend or other monies payable to a member by the Company on or in respect of any shares all sums of money (if any) presently payable by him to the Company on account of calls or otherwise.

Whenever the board or the Company in general meeting has resolved that a dividend be paid or declared on the share capital of the Company, the board may further resolve either (a) that such dividend be satisfied wholly or in part in the form of an allotment of shares credited as fully paid up, provided that the shareholders entitled thereto will be entitled to elect to receive such dividend (or part thereof) in cash in lieu of such allotment, or (b) that shareholders entitled to such dividend will be entitled to elect to receive an allotment of shares credited as fully paid up in lieu of the whole or such part of the dividend as the board may think fit. The Company may also upon the recommendation of the board by an ordinary resolution resolve in respect of any one particular dividend of the Company that it may be satisfied wholly in the form of an allotment of shares credited as fully paid up without offering any right to shareholders to elect to receive such dividend in cash in lieu of such allotment.

Whenever the board or the Company in general meeting has resolved that a dividend be paid or declared the board may further resolve that such dividend be satisfied wholly or in part by the distribution of specific assets of any kind.

All dividends or bonuses unclaimed for one year after having been declared may be invested or otherwise made use of by the board for the benefit of the Company until claimed and the Company shall not be constituted a trustee in respect thereof. All dividends or bonuses unclaimed for six years after having been declared may be forfeited by the board and shall revert to the Company.

(n) Proxies

Any member of the Company entitled to attend and vote at a meeting of the Company is entitled to appoint another person as his proxy to attend and vote instead of him. A member who is the holder of two or more shares may appoint more than one proxy to represent him and vote on his behalf at a general meeting of the Company or at a class meeting. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. In addition, a proxy or proxies representing either a member who is an individual or a member which is a corporation shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the member which he or they represent as such member could exercise.

(o) Call on shares and forfeiture of shares

Subject to the New Bye-laws and to the terms of allotment, the board may from time to time make such calls upon the members in respect of any monies unpaid on the shares held by them respectively (whether on account of the nominal value of the shares or by

IV-12

SUMMARY OF THE NEW BYE-LAWS

APPENDIX IV

way of premium). A call may be made payable either in one lump sum or by installments. If the sum payable in respect of any call or instalment is not paid on or before the day appointed for payment thereof, the person or persons from whom the sum is due shall pay interest on the same at such rate not exceeding twenty per cent. (20%) per annum as the board may agree to accept from the day appointed for the payment thereof to the time of actual payment, but the board may waive payment of such interest wholly or in part. The board may, if it thinks fit, receive from any member willing to advance the same, either in money or money’s worth, all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid or installments payable upon any shares held by him, and upon all or any of the monies so advanced the Company may pay interest at such rate (if any) as the board may decide.

If a member fails to pay any call on the day appointed for payment thereof, the board may serve not less than fourteen (14) clear days’ notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued and which may still accrue up to the date of actual payment and stating that, in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed, the shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

If the requirements of any such notice are not complied with, any share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the board to that effect.

Such forfeiture will include all dividends and bonuses declared in respect of the forfeited share and not actually paid before the forfeiture.

A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a member in respect of the forfeited shares but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which, at the date of forfeiture, were payable by him to the Company in respect of the shares, together with (if the board shall in its discretion so require) interest thereon from the date of forfeiture until the date of actual payment at such rate not exceeding twenty per cent. (20%) per annum as the board determines.

(p) Inspection of register of members

The register and branch register of members shall be open to inspection between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon during business hours by members of the public without charge at the registered office or such other place in Bermuda at which the register is kept in accordance with the Companies Act, unless the register is closed in accordance with the Companies Act.

(q) Quorum for meetings and separate class meetings

For all purposes the quorum for a general meeting shall be two members present in person or (in the case of a member being a corporation) by its duly authorised representative or by proxy and entitled to vote. In respect of a separate class meeting

IV-13

SUMMARY OF THE NEW BYE-LAWS

APPENDIX IV

(other than an adjourned meeting) convened to sanction the modification of class rights the necessary quorum shall be two persons holding or representing by proxy not less than one-third in nominal value of the issued shares of that class.

(r) Rights of the minorities in relation to fraud or oppression

There are no provisions in the New Bye-laws relating to rights of minority shareholders in relation to fraud or oppression. However, certain remedies are available to shareholders of the Company under Bermuda law.

(s) Procedures on liquidation

A resolution that the Company be wound up by the court or be wound up voluntarily shall be a special resolution.

If the Company shall be wound up (whether the liquidation is voluntary or by the court) the liquidator may, with the authority of a special resolution and any other sanction required by the Companies Act, divide among the members in specie or kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company whether the assets shall consist of property of one kind or shall consist of properties of different kinds and the liquidator may, for such purpose, set such value as he deems fair upon any one or more class or classes of property to be divided as aforesaid and may determine how such division shall be carried out as between the members or different classes of members. The liquidator may, with the like authority, vest any part of the assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of members as the liquidator, with the like authority, shall think fit, but so that no contributory shall be compelled to accept any shares or other property in respect of which there is a liability.

(t) Untraceable members

The Company may sell any of the shares of a member who is untraceable if (i) all cheques or warrants (being not less than three in total number) for any sum payable in cash to the holder of such shares have remained uncashed for a period of 12 years; (ii) upon the expiry of the 12 year period, the Company has not during that time received any indication of the existence of the member; and (iii) the Company has caused an advertisement to be published in accordance with the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange (as defined in the New Bye-laws) giving notice of its intention to sell such shares and a period of three months, or such shorter period as may be permitted by the Designated Stock Exchange (as defined in the New Bye-laws), has elapsed since such advertisement and the Designated Stock Exchange (as defined in the New Bye-laws) has been notified of such intention. The net proceeds of any such sale shall belong to the Company and upon receipt by the Company of such net proceeds, it shall become indebted to the former member of the Company for an amount equal to such net proceeds.

(u) Other provisions

The New Bye-laws provide that to the extent that it is not prohibited by and is in compliance with the Companies Act, if warrants to subscribe for shares have been issued by the Company and the Company does any act or engages in any transaction which

IV-14

SUMMARY OF THE NEW BYE-LAWS

APPENDIX IV

would result in the subscription price of such warrants being reduced below the par value of a share, a subscription rights reserve shall be established and applied in paying up the difference between the subscription price and the par value of a share on any exercise of the warrants.

The New Bye-laws also provide that the Company is required to maintain at its registered office a register of directors and officers in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act and such register is open to inspection by members of the public without charge between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon during business hours.

members. Accordingly, Mr. Leung Ngok, as founder of The Leung Ngok Family Trust, was deemed to be interested in the Shares owned by ACE Target (PTC) Inc. in its capacity as the trustee of The Target Unit Trust under Part XV of the SFO.

  1. On 20 October 2008, Mr. Leung Ngok, the then executive Director and chairman of the Company, surrendered all his voting rights and other rights and powers attaching to 109,221,000 Shares to Kingston Securities Limited; and Ace Target (PTC) Inc. surrendered all its voting rights and other rights and powers attaching to 1,094,541,179 Shares to Kingston Securities Limited. Accordingly, Ms. Chu Yuet Wah and Ms. Ma Siu Fong, holding 51% and 49% interests respectively in Kingston Securities Limited, were deemed to retain the voting rights and other rights and powers surrendered by Mr. Leung Ngok and Ace Target (PTC) Inc. Ms. Chu Yuet Wah also owned the 12,852,000 Shares through Best China Limited, a wholly controlled company of Ms. Chu Yuet Wah.

  2. Ms. Yim Yuk Lam was deemed to be interested in the 1,203,762,179 Shares through interest of her spouse, Mr. Leung Ngok.

The Investor is directly and beneficially owned as to 30% by Ms. Au and as to 30% by Mr. Chau KM. The remaining interest of 40% in the Investor is owned by Easy Advance which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Advance Shine. Mr. Chau is the sole beneficial owner of Advance Shine. Since the Investor is accustomed to act in accordance with the directions of Ms. Au and Mr. Chau KM, and that Mr. Chau is interested in more than one-third of voting rights in the Investor, therefore, by virtue of the SFO, the above-mentioned parties were deemed to be interested in the same number of Shares held by the Investor.

  4. The 17,846,824,500 Shares are equivalent to the 178,468,245 New Shares (after the Capital Restructuring becoming effective), being the maximum number of the underwritten Offer Shares under the Underwriting Agreement.
