LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Consideration
The Consideration for the Acquisition is HK$42,000,000 which shall be satisfied by the Company in the following manner:
-
(i) HK$2,000,000 shall be settled by the Company in cash upon the entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement as deposit;
-
(ii) HK$20,000,000 shall be settled by the Company in cash on Completion; and
-
(iii) HK$20,000,000 shall be settled by the Company issuing 200,000,000 Consideration Shares at the Issue Price of HK$0.10 per Consideration Share to the Vendor (or its nominee(s)) upon Completion.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, a cash deposit of HK$2,000,000 has been paid to the Vendor.
There shall be no adjustment to the Consideration unless the amount of the net asset value of the Target Group as at 31 December 2018 minus the adjusted net asset value of the Target Group as at the Completion Date (but immediately before Completion) in the completion accounts of the Target Group (the “ NAV Adjustment ”) is more than HK$5,000,000, then the Consideration shall be reduced by the amount of the NAV Adjustment and the Vendor shall repay to the Company such amount within seven (7) Business Days after the production of the completion accounts.
Basis of the Consideration
Reference is made to the December Announcement, on 4 December 2018 (after trading hours), the Company exercised the CB Conversion in an aggregate principal amount of HK$8,000,000 and held 20% of the entire issued share capital of the Target Company. The amount of the Subscription was determined between the Company and the Vendor principally based on (i) given that Advance Global was foreclosed and repossessed by a PRC bank (the “ Bank ”), there were significant uncertainties involved in whether and when the Vendor could complete the potential acquisition of the Advance Global Group (the “ Vendor Acquisition ”); (ii) the potential risks of the business operations in the Subject Business as it is substantially different from the existing principal businesses of the Group; and (iii) the operating limitation by the Company of not obtaining a controlling interest in the Target Company upon CB Conversion.
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In light of the above uncertainties and risks, after arm’s length negotiations between the parties, the senior management of the Company (at the time of the Subscription) had conducted a financial review on the financial position of the Advance Global Group based on a financial due diligence report prepared by a professional reporting accountant. After that, the Board has considered the abovementioned concerns and also balancing the potential benefits which could be brought by the completion of the Vendor Acquisition to the Company, the Company had bargained to invest in the Advance Global Group (i) by way of subscribing of the Convertible Bond which offers the Company an exit option if the Vendor Acquisition could not proceed; and (ii) in the event that the Vendor Acquisition was completed and the CB Conversion realised, the amount of Subscription would represent a relatively deep discount to the financial position of the Advance Global Group, hence, the Directors were of the view that the terms of the CB Conversion were on normal commercial terms and the CB Conversion was in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
Upon CB Conversion, the Board (i) appointed Mr. Chau, who possesses experience in the Subject Business, as the executive Director and the chief executive officer of the Company; and (ii) conducted a more comprehensive business and financial review of Advance Global and had further analysed on the growth opportunities in the Subject Business. The Board believes that acquiring the remaining 80% equity interest and expanding its business into the Subject Business is in line with its business strategies and may generate long term benefits and consistent revenue stream to the Group, and furthermore, the Acquisition could allow the Group to obtain full control of the Target Group.
In light of the above and within arm's length negotiations, the Company and the Vendor have then taken into account of (i) the unaudited net asset value of the Target Group as at 31 December 2018 of approximately HK$62,702,000; (ii) the preliminary valuation of the Target Group of not less than HK$62,000,000 as at 31 December 2018 as prepared by an independent valuer; and (iii) other factors as set out in the sub-section headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition” in this letter in determining the basis of the Consideration. Given that (a) the Target Group will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and the operation of the Target Group will be fully controlled by the Group upon Completion; (b) the financial results of the Target Group will be consolidated into the financial statements of the Group upon Completion; (c) after conducting a thorough review of the Target Group’s financial position, the Company considers that the Target Group can generate long term benefits to the Group; (d) the business operations have improved since the CB Conversion (including, but not limited to, the improved customers base and suppliers’ relationship, as described in the sub-section “Financial Information of Advance Global” in this letter); and (e) yet the Consideration still represents a discount of approximately 16.27% to the net asset value of the Target Group of approximately HK$50,161,600 (i.e. 80% of HK$62,702,000) as at 31 December 2018, hence, the Board is of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group and its Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Consideration Shares
The Consideration Shares represent (i) approximately 14.39% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (ii) approximately 12.58% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares (assuming that there is no other change to the share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date and up to Completion).
The allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares will not result in a change of control of the Company.
The Issue Price of HK$0.10 per Consideration Share represents:
-
(i) a discount of approximately 48.72% to the closing price of HK$0.195 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date;
-
(ii) the closing price of HK$0.100 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Date;
-
(iii) a premium of approximately 1.01% to the average closing price of HK$0.099 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date;
-
(iv) a discount of approximately 1.96% to the average closing price of approximately HK$0.102 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last ten consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date;
-
(v) a discount of approximately 8.26% to the average closing price of approximately HK$0.109 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 30 consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date (the “ Review Period ”); and
-
(vi) a discount of approximately 84.64% to the consolidated net asset value per Share of approximately HK$0.651 (based on the equity attributable to the owners of the Company of approximately HK$905,549,580 as at 31 December 2018 as disclosed in the annual results of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2018 and 1,390,123,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date).

----- End of picture text -----
The Directors noted that the Issue Price of HK$0.10 per Consideration Share represents a discount of approximately 84.64% to the consolidated net asset value per Share of approximately HK$0.651 (based on the equity attributable to the owners of the Company of approximately HK$905,549,580 as at 31 December 2018 (the “ Group NAV ”) as disclosed in the annual results of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2018 and 1,390,123,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date). However, the Shares had been trading consistently and substantially below the Group NAV per Share during the Review Period and the average of the daily closing prices of the Shares during the Review Period of approximately HK$0.109 also represents a discount of approximately 83.26% to the Group NAV per Share. In other words, the price of the Share has been traded on a deep discount level for a long period. Nevertheless, the Issue Price of HK$0.10 per Consideration Share represents the closing price of HK$0.100 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Date and only a slight discount of approximately 8.26% to the average closing price of approximately HK$0.109 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the Review Period, which is better than the all-time average discount to the Group NAV in the Review Period.
– 10 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Having considered that (i) the Issue Price is only at a slight discount to the trading period immediately prior to the entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement; (ii) the Issue Price is within the range and close to the average of the closing prices of the Shares during the Review Period; (iii) the Shares have consistently been trading at a significant discount to the Group NAV per Share; and (iv) the trading price of the Shares is determined in an open market which is a fair market price, i.e. it is the value a buyer is willing to pay for and a seller is willing to sell for each Share on the Stock Exchange while the Group NAV is a reference to the value of the Share that may be returned to the Shareholders if the Group is put under liquidation but it is not a cash value which the Shareholders may require the Group to pay in return for each Share, therefore the Directors are of the view that it is more appropriate to ascertain the Issue Price based on the recent market prices of the Shares than the Group NAV since the recent market prices represents the recent market sentiment and the risk appetite to the trading price of the Shares.
Upon Completion, each of the companies of the Target Group will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The financial statements of each of the companies of the Target Group will be consolidated in the accounts of the Group upon Completion. According to the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix III to this circular, upon Completion, the net assets of the Enlarged Group would be increased from approximately RMB773,974,000 to approximately RMB797,866,000.
During the Review Period, the closing prices ranged from HK$0.095 on 27 February 2019 to HK$0.119 on 16 January 2019. Accordingly, the Issue Price of HK$0.10 represents a premium of approximately 5.26% over the lowest closing price during the Review Period and a discount of approximately 15.97% to the highest closing price during the Review Period. The 10-day average, the 15-day average and the 20-day average are HK$0.102, HK$0.104 and HK$0.106 respectively. As such, the Issue Price represents just slight discounts of approximately 1.96%, 3.85% and 5.66% to the 10-day average, the 15-day average and the 20-day average respectively, which are comparable to the closing price at the Last Trading Date. The Board considered that the Review Period is selected on the basis that it is a reasonable time frame given that it covers a period encompassing the general trend and level of movement of the closing prices of the Shares immediately prior to the entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement. The Directors are of the view that such time frame can avoid any long-term fluctuation of the closing prices of the Shares which may distort the commercial negotiations between the Company and the Vendor and in fact, while it also reflects the most recent share price performance of the Company as well as its recent trading volume of the Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
INFORMATION ON THE TARGET GROUP
The Target Company was incorporated in the BVI with limited liability on 1 November 2018 and is an investment holding company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Target Company is interested in the entire issued share capital of Advance Global and its wholly-owned PRC subsidiary, Guangzhou Dasheng Agriculture & Food Limited* (廣 州大生農業食品有限公司), a company incorporated in the PRC with limited liability which has no substantial operation since its incorporation.
Business of Advance Global
Advance Global is principally engaged in the Subject Business since its incorporation. The major products are frozen pork, beef and chicken related products. Advance Global has been primarily supplying frozen food through its wholesale and food chain distribution channels and its customers base consists of more than 250 customers, including but not limited to, well-known wholesalers and major food chain corporations located in Hong Kong. For the year ended 31 December 2018, majority of the revenue streams of Advance Global were generated from both the consignment sales and the wholesale sales. The staff of Advance Global will conduct quality checks on all the received products procured from the suppliers once the products are arrived and stored in the warehouse to ensure the products are able to meet the specifications and are in good conditions for sale.
Advance Global sells all the products sourced from its suppliers directly to its customers and does not engage any third-party distributors. Advance Global has a team of seven experienced sales personnel to (i) manage the marketing and sales of products; (ii) provide tailor-made services, including direct orders tracking and enquiries, promoting specialty food products to targeted customers; and (iii) offering after-sales services including products return and follow-up on complaints.
Advance Global sources its products from more than 40 overseas suppliers mainly from Brazil, Europe and the United States. Advance Global’s sourcing capability is one of its key competitive strengths which is mainly attributable to the extensive experience of the management team of Advance Global. The sales credit term given to customers varies from 15 days to 60 days after monthly statement depending on the customers’ credit quality. In addition, Advance Global closely monitors the inventory aging and structure to ensure that the inventory liquidity will meet its sales strategy. Advance Global generally accepts returns or exchanges, after examination and upon approval of the sales department, for any defective products that were damaged during transportation and delivery.

History and background of Advance Global
Advance Global (formerly known as Hong Kong Dasheng Agriculture & Food Limited) was incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability on 9 June 2017. To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, on the date of incorporation of Advance Global, the then beneficial owners were (i) Hong Kong Dasheng Agriculture Holding Company Limited (“ HK Dasheng Holding ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shanghai Dasheng Agriculture Finance Technology Company Limited (“ Shanghai Dasheng ”), a company listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange); and (ii) an individual who is an Independent Third Party (the “ Other Owner ”). To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, the then owners of Advance Global on its date of incorporation, together with its ultimately beneficial owners, are third parties independent of and not connected with the Company and its connected person as at the Latest Practicable Date.
Due to loan default of a subsidiary of Shanghai Dasheng (the “ Loan ”) where the then shares in Advance Global were pledged to a PRC bank (the “ Bank ”) as collateral, the Bank enforced foreclosure on the Subject Business, hence Advance Global was foreclosed and repossessed by the Bank. HK Dasheng Holding, being the first chargor, and the Other Owner, being the second chargor (collectively, being the “ Chargors ”), were then acting by receivers (the “ Receivers ”), which was appointed by the Bank, as receivers over Advance Global.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In early September 2018, Mr. Chau, who has been engaging in the food and beverage business and accompanied with more than 10 years of banking industry and working experience in managing investment portfolios focuses on international commodities trading, was approached by a banking officer of the Bank with a view to an offer selling the Bank’s 100% equity interest in Advance Global. A viable business plan on the potential acquisition of Advance Global by Good Honor was discussed among Mr. Chau (for and on behalf of Good Honor), banking officers of the Bank and relevant professional parties (including the Receivers).
As the primary concern of the Receivers was the repayment of the Loan, on 21 November 2018, the Target Company, as the purchaser, and the Receivers entered into a sale and purchase agreement, pursuant to which, the Target Company agreed to purchase the entire issued share capital of Advance Global at a consideration of HK$1,000,000 and Good Honor agreed to advance to Advance Global by way of shareholder’s loan a sum of HK$56,000,000 to be used to pay off the Loan to the Bank (the “ Aggregate Consideration ”). After several discussions among Good Honor, the Bank and the Receivers, the Aggregate Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations with reference to a discount to the total assets value of Advance Global of approximately HK$75,000,000 by the time. In view of the amount of the Aggregate Consideration of the proposed acquisition may cause certain capital pressure on Good Honor, Mr. Chau determined to adopt a combination of external financing and internal resources of Good Honor for financing the potential acquisition of Advance Global.
In the middle of October 2018, Mr. Chau as the chief operation officer of Queen’s Finance Limited, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has offered the idea of the potential acquisition of Advance Global to Mr. Wallen Tsai (the then executive Director and chairman of the Company) and the Company. During early November 2018, the Company had commenced commercial negotiations with the Vendor in respect of the participation in the potential acquisition of Advance Global. The Company agreed to provide a financial assistance to the potential acquisition in way of subscribing the Convertible Bond (i.e. the Subscription). Accordingly, immediately after the completion of the abovementioned transaction entered into between the Target Company and the Receivers but prior to the completion of the CB Conversion, Advance Global was wholly-owned by the Target Company.
In the event that Good Honor completed the potential acquisition of Advance Global and assuming the conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Bonds are exercised in full by the Company at the initial conversion price of HK$320,000 per conversion share, a total of 25 conversion shares will be allotted and issued, representing approximately 25% of the issued share capital of the Target Company by the time and approximately 20% of the issued share capital of the Target Company as enlarged by the issue of such conversion shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Although the Board is of the view that there has always been a high demand in Hong Kong food and beverage service industry and Advance Global’s primary business of trading of frozen meats can meet the demand of the catering industry in Hong Kong, it is considered that the provision of financial assistance by way of Convertible Bond would allow the Company to have an option to exit if the acquisition of Advance Global eventually did not proceed given there is uncertainty of the potential acquisition of Advance Global from the Bank at that time. In addition, the Board would like to take a prudent financial management practice that the Board will conduct a more comprehensive business and financial review of Advance Global upon the completion of the Subscription to decide whether or not to proceed with the CB Conversion. In conclusion, investing in Advance Global by way of subscribing the Convertible Bond is a prudent strategy that allows the Board to convert its equity holdings in the Target Company after Good Honor fully controls the business operation of Advance Global, and a safer option than other financial aims at the specific point of time.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The assets of the Target Group primarily consisted of receivables and inventories as illustrated in Appendices IIA and IIB to this circular. The Target Group closely monitored its recoverability of the trade receivables of each customer regularly and noticed some trade receivables have been long outstanding. The management of the Target Group, upon no responses after payments requests were made, would terminate the business relationships with those customers and considered the corresponding trade receivables as irrecoverable. Below are the procedures taken by the Target Group to collect its trades receivables
-
Before sales are made to any customers, the sales department and the management of the Target Group would collect and inspect the relevant information of its potential and existing customers to evaluate their credit terms based on, among other matters, the customers’ company size and financial statements (if available), the customers’ contact information and business registration certificates, the historical background of the customers’ management, the general reputation with suppliers, the length of cooperation relationship, estimated monthly turnover with the Target Group and in the case for limited companies, the management of the Target Group will also conduct general online company search for available information of the customers’ directors and shareholders;
-
After sales are made to the customers, the Target Group would then issue monthly statements to its customers to ensure its customers to have knowledge of the outstanding amount due to the Target Group;
-
The accounting department of the Target Group is assigned to be responsible for the reporting of the aging of trade receivables directly to the management of the Target Group on a regular basis and the management of the Target Group monitors and evaluates the recoverability of the trade receivables of each customer;
-
In the cases when involving customers with overdue receivables, the accounting department of the Target Group will send formal letters and/or emails to remind and request such overdue payments while the salesmen of the Target Group will also, depend on the length of the overdue period, make direct calls and/or visits to the customers’ office to collect the overdue payments; and
-
In the cases when trade receivables are unable to be collected after the above actions were applied, the management of the Target Group will decide other recovery measures, including but not limited to, turning such overdue cases to debt recovery agent (if necessary) and/or suspending new businesses with these customers.
– 19 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
For the year ended 31 December 2018, the trade receivables that are overdue but not impaired were primarily from the two major customers of Advance Global that have no default payment history records with Advance Global and thus, the management of the Target Group normally grant them longer credit terms. Such overdue but not impaired trade receivables have been fully recovered soon after the year end date. The Directors believe the efficiency of the operation of the Target Group, which had commenced business from June 2017, will continue to improve through time as the management of the Target Group will continue to gain more operational experiences in the Subject Business, including but not limited to, (i) the building of business relationships with both the existing and new customers which may lead to quicker response for repayment to improve receivables turnover days of the Target Group; and (ii) market demand and logistics arrangement which allows the management of the Target Group to make purchases and sales decisions in a more effective way. Advance Global’s receivable turnover days have improved from 50 days to 27 days and inventory turnover days have improved from 74 days to 36 days from 2017 to 2018 respectively. Furthermore, from the latest account receivables report of the Target Group for the last three months, the Target Group has achieved 99% recovery on its trade receivables, excluding several minor discrepancies in the invoices which are awaiting settlement and no major credit concerns from the client portfolio has been located. In addition, the Directors noted no significant fluctuation in the ratio for total expenses as compared to total turnover for the two years ended 31 December 2017 and 2018 for the Target Group and expect the revenue and the distribution costs of the Target Group to increase for the year ended 31 December 2018 from the year ended 31 December 2017 as only half year of turnover and expenses were recognised in 2017, the breakdown of distribution costs and the ratio for total expense as compared to total turnover, with references made to Appendix IIB, are set out as below:
| For the year ended | For the year ended | |

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
As set out in the December Announcement, the unaudited aggregate net assets value of the Target Company and Advance Global as at 30 November 2018 amounted to approximately HK$74,835,000. To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, the decrease in the net assets value of the Target Group as at 31 December 2018 (i.e. approximately HK$62,702,000) was mainly due to (i) the impairment losses of approximately HK$8,970,000 on long outstanding trade receivables which are unlikely to be collected as the Target Group reviews the recoverable amount of the individual debt to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts; and (ii) the impairment losses of approximately HK$3,280,000 on slow moving inventory due to relatively low quality and does not fit the current market trend. Further details of which are set out in Appendix IIB to this circular.
FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION
Upon Completion, the Target Group will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and the financial results of the Target Group will be consolidated into the financial statements of the Group.
(i) Earnings
Given that it is expected that there will not be any material transaction cost or administrative expense to be incurred for the Acquisition, the Company considers that there will not be any material effect on the earnings of the Group immediately upon Completion. Taking into consideration of the benefits that the Acquisition can bring to the Group as discussed in this letter, the Directors are of the view that the Acquisition would likely to have a positive impact on the turnover and earnings of the Enlarged Group in the future by adding the revenue stream from the Target Group upon the Completion.
(ii) Assets and Liabilities
According to the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group as set out in Appendix III to this circular, upon Completion, the Group’s total assets as at 31 December 2018 would increase from approximately RMB1,275,296,000 to approximately RMB1,303,584,000 and total liabilities as at 31 December 2018 would increase from approximately RMB428,070,000 to approximately RMB431,620,000, representing a total consolidated net assets position of approximately RMB871,964,000.
Details of which are set out in the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group of Appendix III to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION
The Group is principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of personal care products, money lending, operation of online platform, trading of commodities, securities investment, properties holding and investment holding.
As disclosed in the December Announcement, in relation to the CB Conversion, it has been the Company’s business strategy to expand the Group’s existing operations and income base to maximise the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole. The Group has been reviewing its operations and actively exploring other investment opportunities. The Board understands that there has always been a high demand in Hong Kong’s food and beverage service industry and given the fact that as compared to fresh meats, frozen meats can be transported conveniently and better preserved, which better meets the business needs of the catering industry in Hong Kong. After further consideration on the growth opportunities in food and beverage service industry, the Directors are of the view that the Group could further benefit from acquisition of the Sale Shares to consolidate the influence of the Company on the Target Company which allows the Group to further participate in the Subject Business in Hong Kong. The terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement were arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Vendor. The Board considers that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are on normal commercial terms and fair and reasonable.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not entered into any agreement, arrangement or undertaking, and has no intention to (i) acquire any other new business; and (ii) dispose and/or downsize of its existing businesses and material operating assets.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Subject Business
Since commencing business from June 2017, the Target Group through Advance Global has been developing business relationships with its suppliers and customers as mentioned in the sub-sections headed “Business of Advance Global” and “Financial Information of Advance Global” in this letter. Set out below is a breakdown of Advance Global’s gross margins for the period between January 2018 to February 2019:
| Turnover | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| generated | |||
| from trading | |||
| business | Gross profit | Gross Margins | |
| HK$ million | HK$ million | HK$ million | |
| approximately | approximately | approximately | |
| January 2018 | 42.01 | 1.54 | 3.67% |
| February 2018 | 35.37 | 0.87 | 2.45% |
| March 2018 | 41.68 | 1.13 | 2.71% |
| April 2018 | 45.77 | 2.07 | 4.52% |
| May 2018 | 43.21 | 2.75 | 6.37% |
| June 2018 | 36.63 | 2.43 | 6.62% |
| July 2018 | 40.19 | 2.43 | 6.04% |
| August 2018 | 40.72 | 2.48 | 6.08% |
| September 2018 | 36.85 | 2.43 | 6.60% |
| October 2018 | 28.86 | 2.75 | 9.53% |
| November 2018 | 20.58 | 2.60 | 12.62% |
| December 2018 | 23.50 | 2.47 | 10.51% |
| January 2019 | 30.13 | 3.02 | 10.02% |
| February 2019 | 20.92 | 2.67 | 12.75% |
| Average since May 2018 | 8.71% |
In assessing the performance in the Subject Business of the Target Group, the Directors were given to understand that Advance Global had adopted penetration business strategies by supplying its frozen meat products at relatively deeper discounts as compared to its competitors in order to procure customers and establish business relationships. The gross margins of Advance Global in 2017 and 2018 were approximately 5.8% and approximately 5.2% respectively mainly due to (i) pricing strategy to attract customers; and (ii) an one-off inventory impairment loss of approximately HK$3,280,000 in 2018, and it also recorded net losses for the two corresponding financial years. Nevertheless, and as demonstrated in the table above, as Advance Global gradually established its suppliers and customer bases, the gross margins of Advance Global increased to an average of approximately 8.7% for the period between May 2018 to February 2019 after supplying its products at less discounts which are more favourable to the gross profit and profitability of Advance Global.
– 23 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In addition, through identifying companies listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange, the Board identified one listed company which is considered to be comparable to the core business of Advance Global in the Subject Business in Hong Kong (the “ Business Comparable ”), and referred to its respective latest published financial information (the “ Comparable AR2018 ”), to provide general market reference in terms of its gross margin for comparison purposes, details of which are as stated below:
| Gross Margin | Gross Margin | |
|---|---|---|
| For the year ended | For the year ended | |
| Business Comparable | 31 March 2018 | 31 March 2017 |
| (%) | (%) | |
| Hong Kong Food Investment | ||
| Holdings Limited (60) | 0.29 | 5.04 |
| Advance Global’s gross margins | ||
| in March for the respective year | 5.20 | 5.80 |
With reference to the Comparable AR2018, in view that (i) the core business of the Business Comparable is the trading of frozen meats, seafood and vegetables and that its trading segment contributed approximately 99.15% of its total revenue for the year ended 31 March 2018 and 100% of its total revenue for the year ended 31 March 2017; and (ii) the relevant business nature of the Business Comparable in terms of overseas suppliers, customers, and frozen meats products are similar to those of the Target Group, the Directors therefore considered that the gross margins of the Business Comparable are representable to the Subject Business to provide a general market reference for comparison purposes.
Having considered (i) Advance Global no longer offers deep discount in its supply of frozen meat products; (ii) there is an improving trend of the gross profit margins since May 2018 and hence its profitability level; and (iii) the historical gross profit margins of Advance Global were better than the Business Comparable, the Board considers that the gross margins of Advance Global are in line with the market and the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
Going forward, the Target Group will further emphasise on quality-focused strategies on its operations such as maintaining reliable suppliers, providing high quality products with higher gross profits, and monitor market trends and tailor-made products to fit specific customers’ needs. In particular, upon Completion, more resources and businesses will be allocated from the PRC market to the Hong Kong market in order to implement better control of the business operation of Advance Global. The Target Group, having filtering and accumulating quality suppliers and customers, is expected to gradually shorten the repayment period and inventory turnovers days in the long run. Moreover, the Target Group is in plan to establish and implement more developed internal control policies on the business of the Target Group upon Completion.
– 24 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Currently, most of the sales (i.e. approximately 93.35%) of the Target Group are through wholesaling of frozen meats products. Set out below are some details of key customers (i.e. nature of supplies, contract revenue, etc.) and its recent contracts for different product classes in recent months in supplying of the frozen meats:
Contract entered into Customers by Advance Global Nature of supplies HK$ million approximately
| Customer | A | 7.31 | Frozen | pork | and beef |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Customer | C | 4.62 | Frozen | pork | and beef |
| Customer | B | 4.15 | Frozen | pork, | beef and chicken |
| D | 2.92 | Frozen | pork | and beef | |
| E | 2.50 | Frozen | pork, | beef and chicken | |
| F | 2.41 | Frozen | pork, | beef and chicken | |
| G | 2.27 | Frozen | pork | and beef |
In addition to the existing customers base of the Target Group, the Target Group intends to expand its customers base to cover frozen meat retailers as well, in particular reputable branded chain-stores, hotel restaurants and supermarkets, etc. The management of the Target Group are currently negotiating terms with a few new well-known customers in Hong Kong and considering to increase its expenditures in the amount not less than HK$20,000,000 on purchasing products in order to fulfill their demand. By leveraging on the business networks and resources of the Company, and combining with an increase on marketing effort such as increasing the number of sales and marketing channels, the financial performance of the Target Group is expected to be further improved (the “ Development Plan ”). The Target Group expects the size of its marketing expenditures and commitment will be subjected to the amount of monthly returns generated from the existing business of the Target Group.
As the cost of inventory storage accounted a significant part of the expenses in the business operation, the Target Group may also consider to purchase its own inventory storage if suitable opportunity arises and may further seek to form cooperation with reliable logistic specialists in order to lower inventory and transportation costs, with the target to improve the efficiency of the entire business logistic. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not entered into any agreement, arrangement or undertaking of the above matters.
The Development Plan is intended to be funded by the profit generated from the existing business of the Target Group and (if required) the internal resources of the Group. The Company will continue to closely monitor the business and financial performances of the Target Group and, depends on the then market conditions in the Subject Business, may further expand its investment in the Target Group should the return generated from the business of the Target Group is to be improved. As at Latest Practicable Date, the Company and the Target Group are not aware of significant capital and operating expenditures to be incurred and is not aware of any significant potential impact of the funding requirement to the Group’s liquidity and cash flow.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The management team of the Target Group
Upon Completion, the operation management in the Subject Business of the Target Group will be substantially the same as the management of Advance Global. Mr. Chau and the other experienced senior managements are expected to focus on closely monitoring the food market and will take appropriate market interpenetration when opportunities arise.
Mr. Chau, prior to his enrollment as the chief operating officer in Queen’s Finance Limited (an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company), executive Director and chief executive officer of the Company, was primarily engaged in the managing investment portfolios with focuses on international commodities credit and trading (including but not limited to, agriculture grains and livestock futures) for at least 10 years. Moreover, Mr. Chau has participated in the food and beverage industry in his career as chief operating officer for Good Honor which is a company primarily engaged in the food and beverage business including more than 10 restaurants and bakery outlets, bakery production line and central kitchen production for cooked food supplying for several Japanese restaurants.
Two other senior management staff will also continue to serve in the Target Group as chief executive officer and chief operating officer upon Completion. One of them, who has served as the sales director in the largest and the leading supplier of fresh, live and frozen foodstuffs in Hong Kong prior to his current role in the Target Group, has at least 40 years of food and beverage working experience and is the chief operating officer for the Target Group. The other management member, who has served as the senior product manager in the largest and the leading supplier of fresh, live and frozen foodstuffs in Hong Kong prior to his current role in the Target Group, has at least 11 years of food and beverage working experience, will be the chief executive officer for the Target Group upon Completion.
Other financing alternatives
In addition, the Board has considered other possible financing methods (including bank borrowings, open offer, rights issue and placing of Shares) in relation to the Acquisition. After due consideration, the Directors have concluded that issue of the Consideration Shares is more cost-effective and preferable given that (i) bank borrowings would result in the Company being subject to additional interest expenses, increase the gearing level of the Group and such finance costs would impose financial burden to the Group’s future cash flow which is not necessary for the Group; (ii) equity fund raising exercises by way of issue of new Shares to Independent Third Parties or to existing Shareholders on a pro rata basis (i.e. rights issue or open offer) may not provide the requisite amount of funds in a timely manner given the size of the Consideration, higher costs and there is no guarantee of success. The Company considers that underwriters and investors may require a higher discount on the offer price and the costs (including underwriting commission, legal fees and administrative costs) incurred by the Company in rights issue or open offer will be higher than issue of the Consideration Shares. Furthermore, Shareholders will be required to incur a cash outflow should they participate in the exercise or their interests will still be diluted should they choose not to
– 26 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
participate; and (iii) currently, the issue price of HK$0.10 per Consideration Share is equivalent to the closing price of the Share on the Last Trading Date. In contrast, fund raising by way of placement of new Shares to Independent Third Parties is usually priced at a steeper discount to the prevailing market price.

As one or more of the percentage ratios in respect of the Acquisition (in aggregate with the CB Conversion) is more than 25% but less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction on the part of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Acquisition is subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and the Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Therefore, he has abstained from voting at the meeting of the Board to approve the Acquisition. Save as disclosed above, no other Director has abstained from voting at the said meeting.
To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder has a material interest in the Acquisition. As such, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting under the Listing Rules on the resolution to be proposed at the EGM.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECT
The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The subsidiaries of the Company are principally engaged in manufacturing and sale of personal care products, money lending, operation of online platform, trading of commodities, securities investment, properties holding and investment holdings.
As disclosed in the annual results of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2018, the revenue of the Group was approximately RMB631.20 million, representing a decrease of approximately 20.70% as compared to the year ended 31 December 2017 of approximately RMB795.60 million.
The Group will continue to strengthen, develop and diversify its business portfolio and to further establish a sustainable investment portfolio. New businesses and existing businesses, including manufacture and sale of personal care products, money lending business, operation of online platform, trading of commodities, securities investment and properties holding and investment holdings are developing on an on-going basis, and their proportions in the Group’s business portfolio may increase.
Given the slowdown of China’s economic growth, the Group is prudent to the utilisation rate of production capacity of its plants manufacturing personal care products. In response to the above adverse business environment, the Group will improve the responsiveness of the supply chain and enhance its product development capability to avoid further decline in sales revenue.
Looking ahead, the Group will continue to expand its money lending business. The Group will also expand the mortgage business to corporate clients. The Group will invest more financial resources to expand these businesses in the coming year, including possible promotion and marketing through media platform. The Group may consider putting certain marketing efforts to promote our brand through various public media. In view of the uncertain economic outlook, the Group will operate and expand the business in a cautious and risk-balanced manner to maintain a balanced portfolio.
The Group will make better use of internal resources to expand businesses of different scopes to make the Group’s business more diversified and to improve the profitability of the Group and the interests of shareholders more effectively. The Group will notice and consider from time to time other investment opportunities.

– IIA-9 –
APPENDIX IIA
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
IFRS 16 Leases
IFRS 16 introduces a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and accounting treatments for both lessors and lessees. IFRS 16 will supersede IAS 17 Leases and the related interpretations when it becomes effective.
IFRS 16 distinguishes lease and service contracts on the basis of whether an identified asset is controlled by a customer. In addition, IFRS 16 requires sales and leaseback transactions to be determined based on the requirements of IFRS 15 as to whether the transfer of the relevant asset should be accounted as a sale. IFRS 16 also includes requirements relating to subleases and lease modifications.
Distinctions of operating leases and finance leases are removed for lessee accounting, and is replaced by a model where a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability have to be recognised for all leases by lessees, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets.
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost (subject to certain exceptions) less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. Subsequently, the lease liability is adjusted for interest and lease payments, as well as the impact of lease modifications, amongst others. For the classification of cash flows, the Target Group currently presents upfront prepaid lease payments as investing cash flows in relation to leasehold lands for owned use and those classified as investment properties while other operating lease payments are presented as operating cash flows. Upon application of IFRS 16, lease payments in relation to lease liability will be allocated into a principal and an interest portion which will be presented as financing and operating cash flows respectively by the Target Group.
As at 31 December 2018, the Target Group has non-cancellable operating lease commitments of approximately HK$496,000 as disclosed in note 16. A preliminary assessment indicates that these arrangements will meet the definition of a lease. Upon application of IFRS 16, the Target Group will recognise a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability in respect of all these leases.
In addition, the Target Group currently considers refundable rental deposits paid of approximately HK$146,000 as rights and obligations under leases to which IAS 17 applies. Based on the definition of lease payments under IFRS 16, such deposits are not payments relating to the right to use the underlying assets, accordingly, the carrying amounts of such deposits may be adjusted to amortised cost. Adjustments to refundable rental deposits paid would be considered as additional lease payments and included in the carrying amount of right-of-use assets.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Historical Financial Information have been prepared in accordance with the following accounting policies which conform to IFRSs. In addition, the Historical Financial Information include applicable disclosures required by the Listing Rules and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
The Historical Financial Information have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by revaluation of derivative financial instrument which is carried at fair value, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
– IIA-10 –
APPENDIX IIA
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Target Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, leasing transactions that are within the scope of IAS 17 Leases, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in IAS 2 Inventories or value in use in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
-
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
-
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The principal accounting policies are set out below.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Target Company and entities controlled by the Target Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “ Target Group ”). Control is achieved when the Target Company:
-
has power over the investee;
-
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
-
has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
The Target Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Target Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Target Group loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Target Group gains control until the date when the Target Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Target Group’s accounting policies.
All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Target Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Business combinations
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Target Group, liabilities incurred by the Target Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Target Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
– IIA-11 –
APPENDIX IIA
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value, except that:

deferred tax assets or liabilities, and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively;
-
liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-based payment arrangements of the Target Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment at the acquisition date; and
-
assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that standard.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net amount of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as at acquisition date. If, after re-assessment, the net amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.
Revenue recognition
Under IFRS 15, The Target Group recognizes revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when “control” of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to customers.
A performance obligation represents a good and service (or a bundle of goods and services) that is distinct or a series of distinct goods or service that are substantially the same.
To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Target Group follows a 5-step process:
- i. Identifying the contract with a customer
ii. Identifying the performance obligations
iii. Determining the transaction price
-
iv. Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations
-
v. Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.
Revenue is recognised at a point of time, when the Target Group satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to its customers.
Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Leases
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
The Target Group as lessee
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
– IIA-12 –
APPENDIX IIA
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.
Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur, which form part of the net investment in a foreign operation, and which are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve and recognised in profit or loss on disposal of the investment.
For the purpose of presenting financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Target Group’s foreign operations are expressed in HKD using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are classified as equity and transferred to the Target Group’s foreign currency translation reserve. Such exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the foreign operation is disposed of.
Retirement benefit costs and termination benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit/loss before tax because of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Target 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 temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated 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. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Target 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. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
– IIA-13 –
APPENDIX IIA
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
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 assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Target Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Office equipment
Office equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes the purchase price and directly associated costs of bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use. Depreciation commences when the assets are ready for their intended use and is calculated based on the estimated useful lives of the applicable assets on a straight-line basis, on the following basis:
Office equipment 3 years
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value costs of inventories are determined on the weighted-average basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating interest income and interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts and payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Financial assets
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost:
-
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
– IIA-14 –
APPENDIX IIA
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
Amortised cost and interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method for financial assets measured subsequently at amortised cost. Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset.
Impairment of financial assets
The Target Group recognises a loss allowance for ECL on financial assets and other items which are subject to impairment under IFRS 9. The amount of ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.
Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of the relevant instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL (“ 12m ECL ”) represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. Assessments are done based on the Target Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future conditions.
The Target Group always recognises lifetime ECL for accounts receivable. The ECL on these assets are assessed individually for debtors with significant balances.
For all other instruments, the Target Group measures the loss allowance equal to 12m ECL, unless when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Target Group recognises lifetime ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition.
Credit-impaired financial assets
A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events of default that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit impaired includes observable data about the following events:
-
(a) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
-
(b) a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;
-
(c) the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider;
-
(d) it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or
-
(e) the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
Write-off policy
The Target Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, for example, when the counterparty has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings, or in the case of trade receivables, when the amounts are over two years past due, whichever occurs sooner. Financial assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Group’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event. Any subsequent recoveries are recognised in profit or loss.
– IIA-15 –
APPENDIX IIA
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
Measurement and recognition of ECL
The measurement of ECL is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by forward-looking information. Estimation of ECL reflects an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights.
Generally, the ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Target Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Target Group expects to receive, discounted at the effective interest rate determined at initial recognition.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Target Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownerships of the assets to another entity.
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities and equity
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of a group entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Target Group are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are subsequently stated at amortised cost, using the effective interest method or at fair value through profit or loss (“ FVTPL ”).
Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is (i) contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination to which IFRS 3 applies, (ii) held for trading or (iii) it is designated as at FVTPL.
-
A financial liability is classified as held for trading if: it has been acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or
-
on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Target Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or
-
it is a derivative, except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument.
– IIA-16 –
APPENDIX IIA
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
Upon application of IFRS 9, for financial liabilities that are designated as at FVTPL, the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is recognised in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. For financial liabilities that contain embedded derivatives, such as convertible loan notes, the changes in fair value of the embedded derivatives are excluded in determining the amount to be presented in other comprehensive income. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability’s credit risk that are recognised in other comprehensive income are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss; instead, they are transferred to retained profits upon derecognition of the financial liability.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost
Financial liabilities including other payables and amount due to immediate holding company are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Convertible loan notes
A conversion option that will be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Target Group’s own equity instruments is a conversion option derivative.
At the date of issue, both the debt component and derivative components are recognised at fair value. In subsequent periods, the debt component of the convertible loan notes is carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The derivative component is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible loan notes are allocated to the debt and derivative components in proportion to their relative fair values. Transaction costs relating to the derivative component are charged to profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs relating to the debt component are included in the carrying amount of the debt portion and amortised over the period of the convertible loan notes using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Target Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Target Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

APPENDIX IIA
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP
The Target Group applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. Based on evaluation on expected loss rate and gross carrying amount, the directors of the Target Company is of the opinion that the ECL in respect of these balances is considered immaterial as the trade receivable is short-term nature and most of them are fully collectible per historical experience.

14. CONVERTIBLE LOAN NOTES
On 15 November 2018, the Target Company issued a zero-coupon, Hong Kong dollar denominated convertible loan notes with aggregate principal amount of HK$8,000,000. The convertible loan notes entitle the holder to convert them into ordinary shares of the Target Company at any time between the date of issuance and their maturity date on 14 January 2019, being two months from the date of its issuance, at a conversion price of HK$320,000 per convertible share subject to adjustment in certain events. During the period ended 31 December 2018, the convertible loan notes holder converted all the convertible loan notes into ordinary shares of the Target Company.
The convertible loan notes contain two components, debt component and derivative (including conversion and early redemption options) component. The effective interest rate of the debt component is 4.72%. The derivative component is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
The movement of the debt and derivative component of the convertible loan notes for the period is set out as below:

17. ACQUISITION OF A SUBSIDIARY
On 21 November, 2018, the Target Company acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Advance Global Food Limited (formerly known as “Hong Kong Dasheng Agriculture & Food Limited”) for consideration of approximately HK$32,000. This acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method. The amount of gain arising as a result of the acquisition was approximately HK$4,528,000.
Assets acquired and liabilities recognised at the date of acquisition are as follows:
| Property, plant and equipment Inventories Trade and other receivables Bank balances Trade and other payable Other loan payable (note) Consideration satisfied by Pine Victory paid on behalf of the Target Company Gain on bargain purchase arising from acquisition of a subsidiary |

Note: As disclosed in note 22, the other loan payable has been repaid by Pine Victory on behalf of the Target Company upon completion of the acquisition.
The fair value of trade and other receivables at the date of acquisition amounted to approximately HK$28,627,000 and is approximately its gross contractual amount.
The revenue included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income contributed by Advance Global Food Limited since 21 November 2018 was approximately HK$28,386,000. The profit of approximately HK$1,198,000 was incurred for the same period.
Had this business combination been effected at 1 November 2018 (date of incorporation of the Target Company), the revenue of the Target Group would have been approximately HK$44,024,000, and the loss for the period would have been approximately HK$647,000.

Financial risk management objectives
The Target Group management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Target Group through internal risk reports which analyse exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include credit risk and liquidity risk.
Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Target Group. The Target Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Target Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of trade receivables.
The Target Group does not have any significant concentration of credit risk.
Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Target Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Target Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Target Group’s reputation.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Target Group management, which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the Target Group management of the Target Group’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Target Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and banking facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

– IIB-9 –
APPENDIX IIB FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF ADVANCE GLOBAL GROUP
IFRS 16 Leases
IFRS 16 introduces a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and accounting treatments for both lessors and lessees. IFRS 16 will supersede IAS 17 Leases and the related interpretations when it becomes effective.
IFRS 16 distinguishes lease and service contracts on the basis of whether an identified asset is controlled by a customer. In addition, IFRS 16 requires sales and leaseback transactions to be determined based on the requirements of IFRS 15 as to whether the transfer of the relevant asset should be accounted as a sale. IFRS 16 also includes requirements relating to subleases and lease modifications.
Distinctions of operating leases and finance leases are removed for lessee accounting, and is replaced by a model where a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability have to be recognised for all leases by lessees, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets.
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost (subject to certain exceptions) less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. Subsequently, the lease liability is adjusted for interest and lease payments, as well as the impact of lease modifications, amongst others. For the classification of cash flows, the Advance Global Group currently presents upfront prepaid lease payments as investing cash flows in relation to leasehold lands for owned use and those classified as investment properties while other operating lease payments are presented as operating cash flows. Upon application of IFRS 16, lease payments in relation to lease liability will be allocated into a principal and an interest portion which will be presented as financing and operating cash flows respectively by the Group.
As at 31 December 2018, the Group has non-cancellable operating lease commitments of approximately HK$496,000 as disclosed in note 15. A preliminary assessment indicates that these arrangements will meet the definition of a lease. Upon application of IFRS 16, the Group will recognise a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability in respect of all these leases.
In addition, the Group currently considers refundable rental deposits paid of approximately HK$146,000 as rights and obligations under leases to which IAS 17 applies. Based on the definition of lease payments under IFRS 16, such deposits are not payments relating to the right to use the underlying assets, accordingly, the carrying amounts of such deposits may be adjusted to amortised cost. Adjustments to refundable rental deposits paid would be considered as additional lease payments and included in the carrying amount of high-of-use assets.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Historical Financial Information have been prepared in accordance with the following accounting policies which conform to IFRSs. In addition, the Historical Financial Information include applicable disclosures required by the Listing Rules and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
The Historical Financial Information have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.
Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.
– IIB-10 –
APPENDIX IIB FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF ADVANCE GLOBAL GROUP
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Advance Global Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment, leasing transactions that are within the scope of IAS 17 Leases, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in IAS 2 Inventories or value in use in HKAS 36 Impairment of Assets.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
-
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
-
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The principal accounting policies are set out below.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of Advance Global and entities controlled by Advance Global and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when Advance Global:
-
has power over the investee;
-
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
-
has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
The Advance Global Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Advance Global Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Advance Global Group loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Advance Global Group gains control until the date when the Advance Global Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Advance Global Group’s accounting policies.
All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Advance Global Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Business combinations
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Advance Global Group, liabilities incurred by the Advance Global Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Advance Global Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
– IIB-11 –
APPENDIX IIB FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF ADVANCE GLOBAL GROUP
At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value, except that:
-
deferred tax assets or liabilities, and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 Employee Benefits respectively;
-
liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-based payment arrangements of the Advance Global Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with IFRS 2 Share-based Payment at the acquisition date; and
-
assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that standard.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net amount of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as at acquisition date. If, after re-assessment, the net amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.
Revenue recognition
Under IFRS 15, the Advance Global Group recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when “control” of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to customers.
A performance obligation represents a good and service (or a bundle of goods and services) that is distinct or a series of distinct goods or service that are substantially the same.
To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Advance Global Group follows a 5-step process:
-
i. Identifying the contract with a customer
-
ii. Identifying the performance obligations
-
iii. Determining the transaction price
-
iv. Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations
-
v. Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.
Revenue is recognised at a point of time, when the Advance Global Group satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to its customers.
Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
– IIB-12 –
APPENDIX IIB FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF ADVANCE GLOBAL GROUP
Leases
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
The Advance Global Group as lessee
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.
Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur, which form part of the net investment in a foreign operation, and which are recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve and recognised in profit or loss on disposal of the investment.
For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Advance Global Group’s foreign operations are expressed in HKD using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are classified as equity and transferred to the Advance Global Group’s foreign currency translation reserve. Such exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the foreign operation is disposed of.
Retirement benefit costs and termination benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit/loss before tax because of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Advance Global 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 temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated 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. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.
– IIB-13 –
APPENDIX IIB FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF ADVANCE GLOBAL GROUP
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Advance Global 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. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to 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 assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Advance Global Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Office equipment
Office equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes the purchase price and directly associated costs of bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use. Depreciation commences when the assets are ready for their intended use and is calculated based on the estimated useful lives of the applicable assets on a straight-line basis, on the following basis:
Office equipment 3 years
The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value costs of inventories are determined on the weighted-average basis. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and of allocating interest income and interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts and payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
– IIB-14 –
APPENDIX IIB FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF ADVANCE GLOBAL GROUP
Financial assets
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost:
-
the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
the contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Amortised cost and interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method for financial assets measured subsequently at amortised cost. Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset.
Impairment of financial assets
The Advance Global Group recognises a loss allowance for ECL on financial assets and other items which are subject to impairment under IFRS 9. The amount of ECL is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition.
Lifetime ECL represents the ECL that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of the relevant instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL (“ 12m ECL ”) represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. Assessments are done based on the Advance Global Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions and an assessment of both the current conditions at the reporting date as well as the forecast of future conditions.
The Advance Global Group always recognises lifetime ECL for accounts receivable. The ECL on these assets are assessed individually for debtors with significant balances.
For all other instruments, the Advance Global Group measures the loss allowance equal to 12m ECL, unless when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the Advance Global Group recognises lifetime ECL. The assessment of whether lifetime ECL should be recognised is based on significant increases in the likelihood or risk of a default occurring since initial recognition.
Credit-impaired financial assets
A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events of default that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit impaired includes observable data about the following events:
-
(a) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
-
(b) a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;
-
(c) the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider;
-
(d) it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or
-
(e) the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
– IIB-15 –
APPENDIX IIB FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF ADVANCE GLOBAL GROUP
Write-off policy
The Advance Global Group writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the counterparty is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, for example, when the counterparty has been placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings, or in the case of trade receivables, when the amounts are over two years past due, whichever occurs sooner. Financial assets written off may still be subject to enforcement activities under the Group’s recovery procedures, taking into account legal advice where appropriate. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event. Any subsequent recoveries are recognised in profit or loss.
Measurement and recognition of ECL
The measurement of ECL is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted by forward-looking information. Estimation of ECL reflects an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights.
Generally, the ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Advance Global Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Advance Global Group expects to receive, discounted at the effective interest rate determined at initial recognition.
Derecognition of financial assets
The Advance Global Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownerships of the assets to another entity.
On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized and the consideration paid and payable is recognized in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities and equity
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments

Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities including other payables, amount due to a fellow subsidiary and amount due to immediate holding company are subsequently stated at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Advance Global Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Top Grand Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

The Advance Global Group applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of the lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. Based on evaluation on expected loss rate and gross carrying amount, the directors of the Target Company is of the opinion that the ECL in respect of these balances is considered immaterial as the trade receivable is short-term nature and most of them are fully collectible per historical experience.

Financial risk management objectives
The Advance Global Group management monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Advance Global Group through internal risk reports which analyse exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include credit risk and liquidity risk.
Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Advance Global Group. The Advance Global Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Advance Global Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of trade receivables.
The Advance Global Group does not have any significant concentration of credit risk.
Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Advance Global Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Advance Global Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Advance Global Group’s reputation.
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Advance Global Group management, which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the Advance Global Group management of the Advance Global Group’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Advance Global Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and banking facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
Notes:
-
The financial information of the Group is extracted from the published 2018 Annual Results of the Group dated 28 March 2019 as announced by the Company.
-
The financial information of the Target Group is extracted from the audited consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018 as set out in the Accountant’s Report of the Target Group included in Appendix II to this circular.
Certain amounts extracted are reclassified to conform to the presentation of the audited consolidated statement of financial position of the Group. Such classification is just for the purpose of the illustration of Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.
The functional currency of the Target Company and the presentation currency of the Target Group are both Hong Kong dollars (“ HK$ ”). For illustrative purpose, the assets and liabilities of the Target Group as at 31 December 2018 are translated into RMB, the presentation currency of the Group, at the exchange rate of HK$1 to RMB0.8784, being the exchange rate prevailing as at that date.
Such translation does not constitute a representation that any amount has been, could have been, or may otherwise be exchanged or converted at the above rate.
- Pursuant to the Agreement, the Group has agreed to acquire 80% issued share capital of the Target Company at an aggregate consideration of HK$42,000,000 which will be satisfied by approximately HK$22,000,000 in cash and by the issue of 200,000,000 shares of the Company as Consideration Shares at the issue price of HK$0.10 per consideration share.
An analysis of the deemed cost of investment in the subsidiary upon completion of the Acquisition is as follows:
| Notes Fair value of the consideration for the Acquisition Cash consideration (a) Consideration Shares (b) Total consideration for acquisition of 80% equity interests in the Target Company Fair value of 20% equity interests of the Target Company held by the Group (c) Deemed cost of investment in the Target Company |
RMB’000 19,325 22,311 |
|---|---|
| 41,636 11,015 |
|
| 52,651 |
Notes:
-
(a) The fair value of cash consideration is calculated at HK$22,000,000 (equivalent to RMB19,325,000).
-
(b) The fair value of the Consideration Shares, which is calculated with reference to the closing price of the Company’s shares of HK$0.127 at 31 December 2018 is estimated to be HK$25,400,000 (equivalent to RMB22,311,000). The nominal amount of the Consideration Shares is HK$2,000,000 (equivalent to RMB1,757,000) will be recorded as share capital and the amount to be recognised as share premium of the Consideration Shares, being the excess of the fair value of the Consideration Shares over their nominal amount, is HK$23,400,000 (equivalent to RMB20,554,000).

(c) The Group held 20% equity interest of the Target Group with the carrying amount of RMB11,015,000 at 31 December 2018 included in financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income at 31 December 2018. This investment will be reclassified to form part of the investment in the Target Company at the date of completion. Fair value at the date of completion of 20% equity interest of the Target Group are assumed to be the same as its carrying amount as at 31 December 2018.
-
(d) As the fair value of the Consideration Shares for the Acquisition and the fair value of 20% equity interests of the Target Company at the Completion Date are yet to be determined and measured, the deemed cost of investment in the Target Company can only be determined at Completion.
-
The Acquisition will be accounted for as an acquisition of a subsidiary at Completion. For illustrative purpose, the gain on bargain purchase, which represents the excess of fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Group over the fair value of the total consideration for the Acquisition and the fair value of the Group’s previously held interest in the Target Company, is calculated as follows:
| Notes Fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of the Target Group at 31 December 2018 (a) Less: Investment in the Target Company (note 3) Gain on bargain purchase on the Acquisition (b) |

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE TARGET GROUP
Set out below is the management discussion and analysis on the Target Group for the period from 1 November 2018 (date of incorporation of the Target Company) to 31 December 2018 and the management discussion and analysis on the Advance Global Group for the period from 9 June 2017 (date of incorporation of Advance Global) (the “ Date of Incorporation ”) to 31 December 2018.
BACKGROUND
The Target Company, a company incorporated in the BVI with limited liability on 1 November 2018, is a special purpose vehicle merely for the purpose of acquiring Advance Global Group and has not commenced business as at the Latest Practicable Date. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Target Group comprised the Target Company and its subsidiaries including (i) Advance Global; and (ii) Guangzhou Dasheng Agriculture & Food Limited* (廣州大生農業食品有限公司), a company incorporated in the PRC with limited liability which has no substantial operation since its incorporation. The following financial information is based on the audited financial information of the Target Group as set out in Appendices IIA and IIB to this circular.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS ON THE TARGET GROUP
Business overview of the Target Group and Advance Global
The Target Company was principally engaged in investment holding and has not commenced business since its incorporation. The Target Company wholly owns the entire issued share capital of Advance Global, which was the main business operating entity in the Target Group. Advance Global was incorporated in Hong Kong on 9 June 2017 and engaged in the trading of frozen food with currently over 250 customers and 40 overseas suppliers.
Revenue
Advance Global recorded revenue for the period from the Date of Incorporation to 31 December 2017 of approximately HK$154.8 million and for the year ended 31 December 2018 of approximately HK$435.2 million. The revenue increased by approximately HK$280.4 million or 1.8 times, due to an increase of frozen food market share with larger customer base.
Gross profit
The gross profit of Advance Global amounted to approximately HK$9.0 million and HK$22.5 million for the period from the Date of Incorporation to 31 December 2017 and for the year ended 31 December 2018 respectively. The gross profit slightly decreased by approximately 0.68% from approximately 5.84% for the period from the Date of Incorporation to 31 December 2017 to approximately 5.16% for the year ended 31 December 2018, due to the inventory impairment loss taken into account of cost of goods sold in 2018.

APPENDIX IV
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE TARGET GROUP
Selling and distribution expenses
The selling and distribution expenses of Advance Global increased by approximately 237.95% from approximately HK$7.7 million for the period from the Date of Incorporation to 31 December 2017 to approximately HK$26.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2018. The increase in selling and distribution expenses was mainly due to the increase of warehouse expenses associated with business volume growth and the increase of plugging-in and demurrage fees when the disposal process of Advance Global was carried out, which slowed down the business operation cycle.
Administrative expenses
The administrative expenses mainly comprised of staff salary, impairment loss and general office expenses. The administrative expenses of Advance Global increased by approximately 1.4 times from approximately HK$2.3 million for the period from the Date of Incorporation to 31 December 2017 to approximately HK$5.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2018. Such increase was mainly due to an increase in office supplies, staff costs and office maintenances as a result of the full year operation for the year ended 31 December 2018.
Loss for the period/ year
Advance Global recorded operating loss for the period from the Date of Incorporation to 31 December 2017 of approximately HK$0.2 million and for the year ended 31 December 2018 of approximately HK$14.2 million, mainly due to the incurrence of impairment loss in 2018.
Capital structure, liquidity and financial resources
As at 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2018, the issued and paid up capital of Advance Global Food Limited amounted to HK$20,000,000 and HK$20,000,000 respectively.
Total assets of Advance Global comprised of property, plant and equipment, trade and other receivables, inventories and cash and bank balances. Trade and other payables and amounts due to fellow subsidiaries/immediate holding company were the main liabilities of Advance Global.

The purpose of this valuation is to express an independent opinion of the Market Value of the Equity in Real Power as at the Valuation Date for your internal reference purpose in connection with the contemplated acquisition of the Equity in Real Power (“ Contemplated Acquisition ”).
According to International Valuation Standards (“ IVS ”), Market Value is defined as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.
2. BACKGROUND OF REAL POWER

3. VALUATION METHODOLOGY AND BASIS
In conducting the valuation, we have considered three generally accepted approaches, including income approach, market approach and cost approach (or asset approach). Each of these approaches is appropriate in one or more circumstances, and sometimes, two or more approaches may be used together. Selection of valuation approach will be determined by the specific characteristics of the subject of the valuation and commonly adopted practice.
3.1. Cost approach/Asset approach
According to the IVS, the cost approach provides an indication of value using the economic principle that a buyer will pay no more for an asset than the cost to obtain an asset of equal utility, whether by purchase or by construction, unless undue time, inconvenience, risk or other factors are involved. The approach provides an indication of value by calculating the current replacement or reproduction cost of an asset and making deductions for physical deterioration and all other relevant forms of obsolescence.
In the business valuation context, cost approach is often presented as asset approach, in which Market Value of the business entity is derived from the sum of Market Value of its existing assets less the Market Value of its liabilities.
3.2. Market approach
According to the IVS, the market approach provides an indication of value by comparing the asset with identical or comparable (i.e. similar) assets for which price information is available.
– V-3 –
APPENDIX V
VALUATION REPORT
In the business valuation context, the market approach valuation shall analyse recent transaction(s) in the equity interest of the valuation subject and/or comparable companies and benchmark the valuation subject with the selected comparable(s).
3.3. Income approach
According to the IVS, the income approach provides an indication of value by converting future cash flow to a single current value. Under the income approach, the value of an asset is determined by reference to the value of income, cash flow or cost savings generated by the asset.
In the business valuation context, under income approach, value of the business entity is derived primarily from the present value (“ PV ”) of its future cash flow, typically through the use of discounted cash flow (“ DCF ”) method.
4. VALUATION ANALYSIS
Given that Real Power is an investment holding company without its own operation, we have adopted asset approach to value its equity by valuing the investment in subsidiary (i.e. the Operating Company) as well as other assets and liabilities on the statement of financial position of Real Power. As at the Valuation Date, the only assets held at Real Power level are the investment in subsidiary, and amount due from a subsidiary. The only liabilities at Real Power level are trade and other payables, and amount due to immediate holding company.
4.1. Investment in subsidiary
For the investment in subsidiary which is investment in 100% equity interest at the Operating Company, we have considered the three generally accepted approaches above-mentioned in arriving at the Market Value of the Operating Company.
The income approach is not adopted as no long term financial projection has been prepared by Real Power or the Company for the purpose of this business valuation in view of the short operating history of the Operating Company, which was established since 9 June 2017 with less than 2 years of operating history as at the Valuation Date.
Comparable company method under the market approach is not adopted in view of the short operating history of the Operating Company which affects comparability with publicly listed companies engaging in similar business. Although there was a recent transaction in the Operating Company, being the Real Power Acquisition in November 2018, we understand that prior to the Real Power Acquisition, the Operating Company was in receivership due to loan default of a fellow subsidiary of the then shareholders, where shares in the Operating Company was pledged to the bank as collateral. The primary concern of the receivers, who were appointed by the bank, was the repayment of bank loan. In the Real Power
– V-4 –
APPENDIX V
VALUATION REPORT
Acquisition, Pine Victory, the parent of Real Power, agreed to repay the bank loan on behalf of the Operating Company, ending the receivership of the Operating Company. Therefore, the shares in the Operating Company were not transacted without compulsion, thus the transaction price does not meet the definition of Market Value which is the basis of value in our valuation.
Under asset approach, we are furnished with information of the Operating Company including audited financial statements and related operational information regarding the assets and liabilities held by the Operating Company. We have relied to a considerable extent on such information provided by the Operating Company in arriving at our value.
Based on the audited financial statements as at the Valuation Date provided by the Company, the assets and liabilities held by the Operating Company are as follows:
Assets:
-
1) Office equipment;
-
2) Inventories;
-
3) Trade and other receivables;
-
4) Cash and cash equivalents
Liabilities:
-
5) Other payables and accruals; and
-
6) Amount due to immediate holding company
4.1.1. Office equipment
For the office equipment, we have adopted the book value in the audited financial statements provided as the Market Value in our valuation as they are currently in use for business operation.
4.1.2. Inventories
Inventories are frozen meats purchased and stored in third party warehouses rented by the Operating Company.
Based on the management discussion and analysis of the Target Group and the audited financial statement of Real Power, the Operating Company sold its inventories at a gross profit margin of approximately 5% in 2017 and 2018, and 11% since acquisition by Real Power up to the Valuation Date.
– V-5 –
APPENDIX V
VALUATION REPORT
Despite the above, based on further discussion with the Operating Company, prices of inventory may be affected by seasonal effect and the gross profit observed for sales of certain items may not be applicable to the inventories as a whole. We therefore did not mark up the inventories and have adopted the book value of the inventories directly as the Market Value as at the Valuation Date for conservative reason given there is no further information for price movement of the frozen meats market in Hong Kong in future and that the book value is already audited and marked at cost less allowance for any obsolete or slow moving items according to the accounting policy.
4.1.3. Trade and other receivables
For the trade receivables, based on the information provided by the Operating Company, we understand that the sales credit term given to customers varied from 15 days to 60 days after monthly statements depends on credit quality. Based on past trading history with the customers that have outstanding receivable as at the Valuation Date and subsequent settlement record, we estimate the expected credit loss on these outstanding trade receivables as at the Valuation Date to be negligible. We further note that the Operating Company has already impaired receivables that are doubtful prior to acquisition by Real Power, and those doubtful debtors are of different nature from those outstanding as at the Valuation Date. We have therefore considered the Market Value of the receivables to be at their book value as at the Valuation Date.
For the other receivables, based on the information provided by the Company, we understand that the other receivables are primarily prepayment by the Operating Company for purchase of frozen meat as inventory. We further note that the Operating Company intends to utilize the prepayment at book value by taking delivery of the goods. We have therefore adopted the book value of the other receivables as the Market Value as at the Valuation Date.
4.1.4. Cash and cash equivalents
For the cash and cash equivalents, we have adopted the book value in the audited financial statements provided as the Market Value in our valuation.
4.1.5. Other payables and accruals
For the other payables and accruals, it comprises receipt in advance from customers (primarily down payment for frozen meat purchases by the Operating Company), other payables and accruals. We have adopted the book value in the audited financial statements provided as the Market Value in our valuation.

7. LIMITING CONDITIONS
We understand that the Company will perform additional separate due diligence before making any transaction decision related to Real Power.

Our work does not constitute any buy or sell recommendation.

APPENDIX V
VALUATION REPORT
We have been provided with extracts of copies of relevant documents and financial information relating to the Company. We have relied upon the aforesaid information and certain data from various databases in forming our opinion of the Market Value. However, we have not inspected the original documents to ascertain any amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. Our work has relied to a considerable extent on the information provided by the Company, Real Power and the Operating Company and does not constitute an audit and no assurance is given by us to the information supplied to us. Details of our principal information sources are set out in the report and we have satisfied ourselves, so far as possible, that the information presented in our report is consistent with other information which was made available to us in the course of our work. We have made relevant inquiries and obtained further information as we considered necessary for the purpose of this valuation, we however cannot guarantee the reliability or accuracy of the information sources. We have no responsibility to doubt the truthfulness and accuracy of the said information which is material to the valuation.
No opinion is intended to be expressed for matters which require legal or other specialised expertise, which is beyond what is customarily expected on valuers’ capacity or expertise. We are not in a position to, nor have been instructed to, comment on the lawfulness of the businesses and Target Group’s possession of the assets. In the course of our valuation, we have assumed that the assets have obtained all required registration and are freely transferable in the market without any significant obstacles.
The conclusion of value is based on accepted valuation procedures and practices that rely substantially on the use of numerous assumptions and the consideration of many uncertainties, not all of which can be easily quantified or ascertained. Furthermore, the assumptions adopted are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, Real Power, the Operating Company and us. While we have exercised our professional knowledge and cautions in adopting assumptions and other relevant key factors in our valuation, those factors and assumptions are still vulnerable to the change in one or more of these factors subsequent to the Valuation Date. We must emphasise that the realisation of any prospective financial information set out within our report is dependent on the continuing validity of the assumptions on which it is based. We accept no responsibility for the realisation of any prospective financial information. Actual results are likely to be different from those shown in the prospective financial information because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, and the differences may be material.
The Company will appreciate that in providing the Company with our report, we shall have regard to market conditions as at the Valuation Date. Naturally, these are subject to change and it is therefore important that the Company takes account of any such change in conditions that may occur from the Valuation Date before making any binding decision in relation to Real Power.
We shall be under no obligation to update our report in respect of events or information which come to our attention subsequent to the date of this report. Notwithstanding this, we reserve the right, should we consider it necessary, to revise our valuation in light of any information which existed at the Valuation Date but which becomes known to us subsequent to the date of this report.
