CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.
Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, further details of the Acquisition and other information required under the GEM Listing Rules.
THE ACQUISITION
The Formal Agreement
On 30 April 2021, the Purchase and the Vendor entered into the Formal Agreement which supersedes the Preliminary Sale and Purchase Agreement and contains substantially the same material terms of the Preliminary Sale and Purchase Agreement. The principal terms of the Formal Agreement are as follows:
Asset to be acquired
The Property is a non-residential unit situated at Flats A & B on 5/F, International Industrial Building, 501-503 Castle Peak Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The Property has been and is currently being used by the Vendor. The Property will be delivered to the Purchaser in vacant possession upon expiry of the Lease on 31 December 2021.
The market value of the Property as at 31 March 2021 as appraised by the Independent Valuer was HK$43,800,000. The valuation report of the Property is set out in Appendix II to this circular.
The Property is sold on an “as is” basis.
Consideration
The Consideration shall be in a sum of HK$43,000,000, which shall be settled by the Purchaser in the following manner:
-
(a) a sum of HK$2,150,000, being the initial deposit, has been paid to the Vendor’s solicitor as stakeholder on the signing of the Preliminary Sale and Purchase Agreement;
-
(b) a sum of HK$2,150,000, being the further deposit, has been paid to the Vendor’s solicitor as stakeholder on the signing of the Formal Agreement; and
-
(c) a sum of HK$38,700,000, being the balance of the Consideration, shall be paid upon Completion, that is, on or before 30 June 2021.
The Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Purchaser and the Vendor on normal commercial terms with reference to the prevailing market value of comparable properties available in the vicinity. The Consideration shall be funded by the internal resources of the Group and/or external bank borrowings.
Lease back
Immediately following Completion, the Purchaser and the Vendor shall enter into a lease agreement pursuant to which the Purchaser shall lease the Property to the Vendor for a term of six months commencing on 1 July 2021 and ending on 31 December 2021, at a monthly rent of HK$100,000 (inclusive of rates, government rent and management fee).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Agency fee
The property agent shall be entitled to receive HK$430,000 from the Vendor and HK$430,000 from the Purchaser as commission which shall be paid on or before 30 June 2021.
Completion
Completion shall take place on or before 30 June 2021.
Stamp duty
All ad valorem stamp duty payable in relation to the Acquisition shall be borne by the Purchaser.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION
The Group is principally engaged in the provision of building protection works and supply of building protection products.
The existing warehouse of the Group in Hong Kong is a leased property and is subject to the certain risks associated with the leased property, such as early termination or non-renewal of the tenancy agreement by the landlord and possible increase in rental expenses. In addition, the Group maintains certain level of stock at third party warehousing facilities in Hong Kong. To cope with the business development of the Group, the Company seeks a larger premises to secure more spacious area for its machinery and goods storage.
Having considered, among others, (i) the Acquisition is for the long-term establishment of a stabilised premises that could consolidate the Group’s stock in one property; (ii) the Group can eliminate the rental cost of the leased warehouse as well as any renovation expenses, time costs and efforts that would have been incurred for relocation; and (iii) the Property will be used as the Group’s self-owned premises not only for storage but also testing of building protection products which would improve the efficiency of its operation, the Directors consider that the Acquisition is beneficial to the Group.
The Property will remain as an asset of the Group in the balance sheet and it will be refurbished after delivery of vacant possession by the Vendor upon expiry of the Lease on 31 December 2021.
After taking into account the above factors, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the Preliminary Sale and Purchase Agreement (including the Consideration) are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable, and the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
INFORMATION ON THE PURCHASER AND THE VENDOR
The Purchaser is a company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. It is principally engaged in the provision of building protection works in Hong Kong.
−5 −
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Vendor is a company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability. It is principally engaged in the garment business and is the legal and beneficial owner of the Property. The Vendor is owned as to 99% by Joyful Inc. and 1% by Fung Sau Chun, Anita. Joyful Inc. is a non-resident domestic company incorporated in Nevis and subsequently redomiciled in the Marshall Islands, and is owned as to 50% by Lee Kam Wai and 50% by Fung Sau Chun, Anita.
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, each of the Vendor and its ultimate beneficial owners is an Independent Third Party.
FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION
Assets and Liabilities
It is expected that upon Completion, there will be an increase in total assets of approximately HK$21.5 million, comprising an increase in property, plant and equipment of approximately HK$45.3 million (representing the sum of the Consideration and other estimated transaction costs such as stamp duty, commission and legal fees incurred for the Acquisition) and a decrease in bank balances and cash of approximately HK$23.8 million.
As the Acquisition shall be financed by internal resources and banking facilities available to the Group through a fifteen-year mortgage loan of approximately HK$21.5 million, the total liabilities of the Group are expected to increase by approximately HK$21.5 million. As at the date of this circular, the aforesaid mortgage loan is subject to credit assessment and formal approval procedures to be conducted by a bank and no loan agreement has been executed yet.
Earnings
The Group expects that after Completion, there will be an increase in the depreciation expenses by approximately HK$1.7 million per annum relating to the Property. However, the impact could be offset in the long run by the combined effect of (i) a decrease in rental cost of approximately HK$520,000 with respect to the Group’s current leased warehouse; and (ii) a decrease in selling and distribution costs as a result of the saving of transportation, warehouse and storage costs to be charged by third party warehousing facilities and logistics providers.
The Property was held for self-used purpose by the Vendor and there was no identifiable income stream in the books and accounts of the Vendor. After completion, the Lease between the Purchaser and the Vendor shall be with a term of six months commencing on 1 July 2021 and ending on 31 December 2021, to facilitate the Vendor’s relocation after its disposal of the Property. Pursuant to the Lease, the Vendor has an early termination option from 1 October 2021 by serving not less than one-month written notice to the Purchaser of its intention to exercise such option.
As there were no historic data in respect of rental and related incidental costs, the requirements under Rule 19.67(6)(b) of the GEM Listing Rules are not applicable.
Save as disclosed above, there will be no immediate material effect on the earnings and assets and liabilities of the Group associated with the Acquisition.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
GEM LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As one of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 19.07 of the GEM Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition exceeds 25% but all of them are less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Shareholders has a material interest in the Acquisition and as such, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolution to approve the Acquisition, should the Acquisition be put forward to the Shareholders for consideration and approval at a general meeting of the Company.
WRITTEN SHAREHOLDERS’ APPROVAL
Ultra Success Industries Limited, the controlling Shareholder holding 750,000,000 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, representing 75% of the total issued Shares, having the right to attend and vote at any general meeting of the Company, has given its written approval of the Acquisition. The written shareholder’s approval by Ultra Success Industries Limited has been accepted in lieu of holding a general meeting and no general meeting of the Company is required to be convened for the approval of the Acquisition pursuant to Rule 19.44 of the GEM Listing Rules.
RECOMMENDATION
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Formal Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors would recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant ordinary resolution regarding the Acquisition if the Company were to convene an extraordinary general meeting for the approval of the Acquisition.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Your attention is also drawn to the additional information set out in the appendices to this circular.
Yours faithfully, By order of the Board Sunray Engineering Group Limited Lam Ka Wing

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS
The impacts of COVID-19 epidemic (the “ Epidemic ”) have caused pressure worldwide and dampened the development of various industries, with no exception for the construction industry. Due to the sudden and rapid spread of the Epidemic, a series of enhanced precautionary and control measures have been undertaken by the governments across the world including Hong Kong and Macau. The significant reduction of social and business activities and the subsequent quarantine measures have adversely affected the economy in Hong Kong, including the slowdown in the progress of construction projects. As a result, some of the Group’s building protection works in the construction site have been held up or delayed, such influences might continue until the Epidemic was contained and this would affect the operational and financial performance of the Group.
The Group estimates that the degree of COVID-19 impact would be dependent on the outcome of various preventive measures and the duration of the Epidemic. The Group is closely monitoring the market development and continuously evaluating the financial impact of the COVID-19 situation. Given the unpredictability of future development of COVID-19, the impacts to the Group could not be reasonably and accurately estimated at this stage. However, for the time being, the Group’s building protection work projects on hand are in steady progress and the Group did not experience any shortages or difficulties in the supply of building protection products.
Since the outbreak of the Epidemic in the early 2020, the Group has implemented measures, including frequent workspace cleaning with disinfectant, ensuring the wearing of face masks of all staff at work, and conducting body temperature test to protect the health and safety of the employees. The Group will continue to closely monitor the development of the Epidemic and will take necessary actions to control costs and drive efficiency to maintain profitability and competitiveness in the market.
Going forward, the Group will continue to strengthen its market position by expanding its workforce and competing for more building protection work projects in Hong Kong. The Directors remain confident in the prospect of the Group and are committed in creating long-term and sustainable value for the Company and its shareholders.
