(Stock Code: 8176)

THIRD QUARTERLY RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2013

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”)

GEM has been established as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

This announcement, for which the directors (the “Directors”) of EDS Wellness Holdings Limited (formerly known as China AU Group Holdings Limited) (the “Company”) collectively and individually accept responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM of the Stock Exchange (the “GEM Listing Rules”) for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquires, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this announcement is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this announcement misleading.

The Group is in the process of assessing the potential impact of these new and revised HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to determine whether these new and revised HKFRSs will have a significant impact on how its results of operations and financial position are prepared and presented. These new and revised HKFRSs may result in changes in the future as to how the results and financial position are prepared and presented.

3. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs, which is a collective term that included all applicable individual HKFRSs, HKASs and Interpretations issued by the HKICPA, except for the non-consolidation of certain subsidiaries of the Group as explained below, and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong. In addition, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the GEM Listing Rules and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

The measurement basis used in the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is the historical cost convention, as modified for the revaluation of certain financial instruments which are stated in their fair values.

The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies.

The accounting policies and basis of preparation adopted in the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those adopted in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2012.

All significant intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gain in transaction within the Group have been eliminated on consolidation.

Going concern basis

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis notwithstanding that the Group incurred a loss attributable to the owners of the Company of approximately HK$19,374,000 for the nine months ended 31 March 2013, which indicates the existence of a material uncertainty and may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Directors have given careful considerations to the future liquidity and performance of the Group and its available sources of finance in assessing whether the Group will have sufficient financial resources to continue as a going concern.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The validity of the going concern assumption on which the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared is dependent on the favourable outcomes of (i) the repayment of the amount due from Mr. Shum Yeung of approximately HK$34,627,500 of which the details were set out in the Company’s announcement dated 3 May 2013; (ii) the extension of repayment of a loan facility of approximately HK$36,700,000 granted by a company owned by an executive Director of which details were set out in the Company announcement dated 30 April 2013; (iii) the completion of the conditional subscription agreement in respect of the issue of convertible bonds in the principal amount of HK$40,000,000 of which details were set out in the Company’s announcement dated 21 March 2013; and (iv) the completion of the conditional unsecured loan agreement in the principal amount of HK$40,000,000 of which details are set out in the Company’s announcement dated 21 March 2013 (the “Proposed Plans”).

– 4 –

The completion of the subscription agreement in respect of the issue of convertible bonds in the principal amount of HK$40,000,000 (“Subscription Agreement”) is conditional upon:

  • (a) the passing of the necessary resolution(s) by the independent shareholders who are allowed to vote under the GEM Listing Rules, The Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers (“Takeovers Code”) and/or other applicable laws and regulations approving separately at the extraordinary general meeting (i) the Subscription Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereunder (including but not limited to the issue of the convertible bonds and allotment and issue of the conversion shares); and (ii) the grant of the waiver to be granted by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong (“SFC”);

  • (b) the listing committee of Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited having granted the listing of and permission to deal in, the conversion shares;

  • (c) the warranties under the Subscription Agreement remaining true and correct in all material respects;

  • (d) all necessary consents and approvals (including but not limited to approval from the board of Directors and the relevant regulatory approval pursuant to the GEM Listing Rules and the Takeovers Code) as may be required to be obtained by the Company in respect of the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby having been obtained;

  • (e) the publication of an announcement of the subscriber holding in relation to the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder in compliance with Chapter 14 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”);

  • (f) the granting of the waiver by the SFC; and

  • (g) the capital reorganisation having become effective.

The completion of the conditional unsecured loan agreement in the principal amount of HK$40,000,000 (“Loan Agreement”) is conditional upon fulfillment of the following conditions:

  • (a) completion of the Subscription Agreement;

  • (b) the publication of an announcement of the subscriber holding in relation to the Subscription Agreement and the Loan Agreement and the transactions contemplated respectively thereunder in compliance with Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules; and

  • (c) the passing of the necessary resolution by the independent shareholders who are allowed to vote under the GEM Listing Rules, the Takeovers Code and/or other applicable laws and regulations approving at the extraordinary general meeting the Loan Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereunder.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared on a going concern basis on the basis that the Proposed Plans will be successfully completed.

In the opinion of the Directors, if the Proposed Plans completed successfully, the Group would be able to generate sufficient funds to meet its future working capital requirements and financial obligations when they fall due. Accordingly, the Directors consider that it is appropriate to prepare these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.

The applicability of the going concern basis depends on the outcomes of the Proposed Plans, which the eventual outcome is uncertain, and the Group’s ability to generate sufficient funds to meet its future working capital requirements and financial obligations when they fall due. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments for possible failure of the Proposed Plans and the continuance of the Group as a going concern. Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to reduce the value of the assets of the Group to their recoverable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise and to reclassify non-current assets and non-current liabilities as current assets and current liabilities respectively. The effects of these adjustments have not been reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended 31 March 2013 were prepared based on the books and records maintained by the Company and its subsidiaries. However, the directors and management of certain subsidiaries of the Company, namely, Blu Spa (Hong Kong) Limited (“BSHK”) and its subsidiaries (the “BSHK Group”), Clapton Holdings Limited, Blu Spa International Limited and Blu Spa Management Services Limited (collectively referred to as the “Unconsolidated Subsidiaries”), have not provided complete documentary information and reasonable explanation in respect of the transactions asserted to have been undertaken. The Directors have not been able to obtain complete documentary information to satisfy themselves regarding the accounting treatments in respect of those transactions for the nine months ended 31 March 2012 and for the year ended 30 June 2012.

On 19 February 2013, the Board announced that the sole director of BSHK proposed to voluntarily wind-up BSHK and appointed Messrs. Osman Mohammed Arab and Wong Kwok Keung as joint and several provisional liquidators. Upon the appointment of the liquidators, the assets of BSHK will be realised, where possible and appropriate. The estimated loss to the Group arising from the winding-up of BSHK will be approximately HK$1.2 million. Details of which were set out in the Company announcement dated 19 February 2013.

Furthermore, as set out in the Company’s announcement dated 9 April 2013, a firm of independent forensic accountants was engaged to investigate and comment on the reasons of the resignation of the former auditors of the Group and the basis for disclaimer of opinion in respect of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011 (the “Forensic Investigation”). Based on the result of the Forensic Investigation, the Directors concluded that, among other things, there were possible irregularities in respect of a considerable number of past transactions and possible misstatements of certain transactions and balances recorded in the books and records which mainly concern the Group’s operation involving BSHK Group.

Giver these circumstances, the Directors have not consolidated the financial statements of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended 31 March 2013. As such, the results, assets and liabilities of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries have not been included into the consolidated financial statements of the Group since 1 July 2011. The resulting gain on de-consolidation, which is determined based on the net asset value of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries at 1 July 2011 of approximately HK$155,547,000, have been recognised in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2012. Moreover, as at 31 March 2013 and 30 June 2012, the amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries to the Group of approximately HK$241,835,000 and HK$288,303,000 respectively, among which approximately HK$90,000 and HK$240,593,000 respectively was considered not recoverable and impairment losses had been recognised in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the nine months ended 31 March 2013 and audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2012 respectively.

In the opinion of the Directors, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended 31 March 2013 and the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2012 are prepared on the aforementioned basis present more fairly the results and state of affairs of the Group as a whole in light of the aforesaid incomplete books and records of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries and the result of the Forensic Investigation. However, the de-consolidation of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries from the beginning of the year 1 July 2011 were not in compliance with the requirements of Hong Kong Accounting Standard 27 (Revised) “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Business Review

At the request of the Company, trading in the shares of the Company has been suspended since 30 September 2011 due to the delay in publication of the Group’s final results announcement for the year ended 30 June 2011.

In view of the insufficient of general working capital, the Company had entered into two short-term loan agreements in normal commercial terms with Koffman Investment Limited (“Koffman”), of which Mr. Yu Shu Kuen, the chairman, executive Director and managing Director, is the ultimate beneficial owner, in the principal of HK$10.0 million and HK$20.0 million on 8 February 2012 (the “First Loan Agreement”) and 27 March 2012 (the “Second Loan Agreement”) respectively. All the outstanding borrowings and interest expenses accrued for the First Loan Agreement had been repaid on 7 May 2012. The loan facility of the Second Loan Agreement was increased to a principal amount of HK$50.0 million in accordance with the supplementary loan agreement dated 26 June 2012. The repayment date of all the outstanding borrowings for the Second Loan Agreement had been extended from 27 June 2012 to 31 May 2013, by entering of eleven supplementary loan agreements dated 26 June 2012, 26 September 2012, 26 October 2012, 26 November 2012, 7 December 2012, 31 December 2012, 15 January 2013, 31 January 2013, 28 February 2013, 2 April 2013 and 30 April 2013 respectively.

On 7 March 2012, the Company announced that the former auditors of the Group, HLM & Co. (“HLM”), tendered their resignation as the external auditors of the Group on 7 March 2012. In view of the reasons for resignation as set out in the resignation letter issued by HLM to the Board, the Board resolved to establish a special investigation committee (the “Special Investigation Committee”) on 7 March 2012, comprising Mr. Yu Shu Kuen, an executive Director, Mr. Tam B Ray Billy and Mr. Chu Kin Wang Peleus, both are independent non-executive Directors, for the purpose of, (i) investigating the issues raised by HLM in their resignation letter; (ii) reviewing the internal control procedures and corporate governance policies of the Group; and (iii) making recommendations to the Board on appropriate actions to be taken.

On 8 June 2012, the Company approved the annual results announcement for the year ended 30 June 2011, in which a disclaimer of opinion was issued by the independent auditors of the Group in the independent auditors’ report.

On 13 July 2012, the Stock Exchange issued a letter to the Company setting out the following conditions which must be satisfied by the Company before the Stock Exchange considers any application for trading resumption:

  • (a) engage an independent professional adviser acceptable to the Stock Exchange to conduct a forensic investigation to address all the issues raised in the former auditors’ resignation letter and the audit qualifications made by the current auditors in its independent auditors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2011;

  • (b) inform the market of all material information (including the findings of the forensic investigation of (a) above) that is necessary to appraise the Group’s position;

On 9 April 2013, the Company received a letter from the Stock Exchange in which the Stock Exchange stated that in considering the Company’s resumption, the Stock Exchange had reviewed information recently disclosed or provided by the Company on the Company’s latest operation and financial position. The information gave rise to its concerns whether the Company is able to satisfy its continued listing obligations under Rule 17.26 of the GEM Listing Rules to maintain a sufficient level of operations or assets, in particular, (i) the small scale and limited track record of the Company’s existing “Evidens de Beauté” distribution business and the “Le Spa Evidens” spa in Causeway Bay; and (ii) the minimal amount of turnover for the year ended 30 June 2012 and the gross loss and net loss position as shown in the financial information for the year ended 30 June 2012 and for the six months ended 31 December 2012.

The Stock Exchange expressed in the letter that there are concerned whether the Company’s current business is viable and has a scale or substance which is able to justify its continued listing and it invited the Company to provide a submission on or before 8 May 2013 to demonstrate that the Company’s business is viable and sustainable. On 3 May 2013, the Company has made a submission to the Stock Exchange requesting for a three months extension. On 14 May 2013, the Stock Exchange issued a letter to the Company in which the Stock Exchange agreed to grant such extension (the “Extension Letter”). Pursuant to the Extension Letter, the Company is required to provide a submission by 8 August 2013 to demonstrate that the Company has a viable and sustainable business, failing which the Stock Exchange would proceed to cancel the Company’s listing under the delisting procedures set out in Rule 9.15 of the GEM Listing Rules.

During the period under review, the management continued to streamline its operations. Up to the date of this announcement, the Group terminated the operations of 3 spa centres located at Central, Cheung Sha Wan and Sheung Wan and a hair rejuvenating centre located at Central that bring to a total of 9 retail shops or spa centres since February 2012.

Financial Review

Due to De-consolidation, the financial statements of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries have not been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group for the nine months ended 31 March 2013.

During the period under review, the Group recorded a turnover of approximately HK$5.4 million of which approximately HK$2.4 million, approximately HK$1.1 million and approximately HK$1.9 million were generated from the sales of beauty products, sales of beauty equipment and provision of therapy services respectively. The gross loss of approximately HK$3.7 million was mainly attributed to the direct costs of salaries and rental expenses incurred in the preliminary development stage of the new business and the extra sales discounts offered for the sales of beauty products under the brand name “Blu Spa”.

– 15 –

The selling and distribution costs of approximately HK$1.0 million was mainly attributed to the subscription fee for advertising with magazines and expenses for the grand opening of Le Spa Evidens.

The other revenue of approximately HK$ 1.7 million was mainly contributed by the interest income for the outstanding amount due from Mr. Shum Yeung to the Company in accordance with the Second Deed of Settlement entered into between the Company and Mr. Shum Yeung dated 29 January 2013.

The administrative expenses of approximately HK$13.7 million mainly comprised salaries and directors’ remuneration of approximately HK$5.8 million; legal and professional fees of approximately HK$2.6 million; rent and rates of approximately HK$1.0 million; overseas travelling expenses of approximately HK$0.5 million and depreciation of approximately HK$0.9 million.

The finance costs of approximately HK$2.5 million was mainly attributed to the loan interest expenses paid to Koffman during the period under review.

The consolidated loss attributable to owners of the Company amounted to approximately HK$19.4 million (2012: HK$92.7 million) for the nine months ended 31 March 2012. The improvement of the results was mainly contributed by the non-recurrence of once off impairment loss recognised in respect of deposits, prepayments and other receivables recorded in the corresponding period last year.

As announced by the Company on 26 October 2012, the Group intends to expand the distribution business for “Evidens de Beauté” products to mainland China and Taiwan.
