INTERIM REPORT

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012

  • For identification purpose only

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.

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 of Koffman, 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 30 April 2013, by entering of ten 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 and 2 April 2013 respectively.

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;

  • (c) publish all outstanding financial results and reports, and address any other concerns raised by the current auditors; and

  • (d) demonstrate that the Group has adequate financial reporting procedures and internal control systems to meet the obligations under the GEM Listing Rules.

The Company should also comply with the GEM Listing Rules and all applicable laws and regulations before resumption.

The Stock Exchange may modify any of the above conditions and/or impose further conditions if the situation changes.

On 16 July 2012, the Company appointed RSM Nelson Wheeler Corporate Advisory Limited (“RSM”) as the independent forensic accountants to address the conditions set out by the Stock Exchange. On 28 September 2012, a forensic investigation report (the “Forensic Investigation Report”) was issued by RSM and the Company has submitted a copy of such report to the Stock

– 2 –

Exchange on the even date. On 10 October 2012, a copy of the Forensic Investigation Report was submitted to the Board by the special investigation committee formed on 7 March 2012. A summary of the major findings of the Forensic Investigation Report was set out in an announcement dated 9 April 2013. Having considered the findings of the Forensic Investigation Report and complete documentary information and reasonable explanation in respect of the transactions asserted to have been undertaken by certain subsidiaries could not be obtained, the Directors have not been able to satisfy themselves regarding the accounting treatments in respect of those transactions for the year ended 30 June 2012. As such, the results, assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries (the “Unconsolidated Subsidiaries”) have not been included in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2012 (the “De-consolidation”). Similarly, the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries have not been included in the audited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2012.

On 13 July 2012, EDS Distribution Limited (“EDS Distribution”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, had entered into an exclusive distribution agreement (the “Exclusive Distribution Agreement”) with Montaigne Limited (“Montaigne”). Pursuant to the Exclusive Distribution Agreement, Montaigne had granted exclusive distributorship of “Evidens de Beauté” products in Hong Kong to EDS Distribution for an initial term of 3 years which shall be renewed automatically thereafter for a period of 1 year unless terminated by either party.

On 5 October 2012, the Group opened a spa of around 2,231 sq. ft. with the brand “Le Spa Evidens” in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong in order to promote and publicise “Evidens de Beauté” products and generate further income for the Group,

During the period under review, the management continued to streamline its operations. Up to the date of this report, 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 brings 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 interim financial information of the Group for the six months ended 31 December 2012.

During the period under review, the Group recorded a turnover of approximately HK$4.4 million of which approximately HK$1.8 million, approximately HK$1.1 million and approximately HK$1.5 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$2.4 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”.

The selling and distribution costs of approximately HK$0.7 million was mainly attributed to the subscription fee for advertising with magazines and expenses for the grand opening of Le Spa Evidens.

The administrative expenses of approximately HK$8.9 million mainly comprised of salaries and directors’ remuneration of approximately HK$4.0 million; legal and professional fees of approximately HK$1.4 million; rent and rates of approximately HK$0.8 million; overseas travelling expenses of approximately HK$0.4 million and depreciation of approximately HK$0.6 million.

The finance costs of approximately HK$1.5 million was mainly attributed to the loan interest expenses paid to Koffman during the period under review.

– 3 –

The consolidated loss attributable to owners of the Company amounted to approximately HK$13.6 million for the six months ended 31 December 2012 (2011: HK$83.4 million). 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.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES

As at 31 December 2012, the Group had total assets of approximately HK$50.0 million (30 June 2012: HK$57.7 million), including cash and bank balances of approximately HK$0.3 million (30 June 2012: HK$0.3 million).

During the period under review, the Group financed its operation with internally generated cash flows and borrowing from Koffman.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE

As at 31 December 2012, the total borrowings of the Group amounted to approximately HK$31.4 million (30 June 2012: HK$19.6 million) representing the borrowing from Koffman of which is unsecured, at an interest rate of 12% per annum and repayable within one year.

GEARING RATIO

The gearing ratio, expressed as percentage of total borrowings to total assets, was 62.9% (30 June 2012: 34.0%). The deterioration in gearing ratio was mainly attributed to the increase in borrowing from Koffman during the period under review.

CHARGE ON THE GROUP’S ASSETS

As at 31 December 2012, the Group did not have any charge on its assets.

Accordingly, we were unable to form an opinion as to whether the 2012 Financial Statements gave a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group at 30 June 2012 and of the Group’s results and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards.

(2) Investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries

As further explained in note 2 to the interim financial information, the directors of the Company are unable to obtain complete books and records of Blu Spa (Hong Kong) Limited (the “ 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 ”). Due to the lack of complete books and records of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries, the financial statements of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries have not been consolidated into the Group’s interim financial information.

As disclosed 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 of the Company 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 of the Group which mainly concern the Group’s operation involving BSHK Group. Furthermore, as disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 19 February 2013, BSHK commenced creditors’ voluntary liquidation and joint and several liquidators were appointed by a resolution of BSHK’s creditors on 26 February 2013.

Given these circumstances, the directors of the Company concluded that the financial statements of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries have not been consolidated in the Group’s interim financial information which was consistent to prior year.

Whilst the directors of the Company consider that the exclusion of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries is the best way of presenting the Group’s financial position, results and cash flows at and for the period in the circumstances, the exclusion of the financial position, results and cash flows of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries from the interim financial information is a departure from the requirements of Hong Kong Accounting Standard 27 (Revised) “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”. Had the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries been consolidated, many elements in the interim financial information would have been materially affected. Due to the lack of complete books and records of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries mentioned above, we are unable to ascertain the impact of the potential irregularities with respect to the accounting records and transactions of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries, if any, and the non-consolidation of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries on the interim financial information. We have also not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence and explanations to determine whether the carrying

– 13 –

values of the investments in the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries were free from material misstatements. Any adjustments that might have been found to be necessary would have a consequential significant effect on the net assets of the Group at 31 December 2012 and the loss and cash flows of the Group for the period ended.

(3) Scope of limitation — Balances with the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

As further explained in note 2 to the interim financial information, the Group had amounts due from and amounts due to the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries of approximately HK$279,460,000 and HK$1,330,000 respectively at 31 December 2012 (collectively referred as to the “ Balances with the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries ”). The directors of the Company are of the view that the carrying values of the amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries to the Group are not recoverable and recognised impairment losses of approximately HK$90,000 and HK$240,593,000 for the six months ended 31 December 2012 and for year ended 30 June 2012 respectively.

Due to lack of complete books and records of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine whether the Balances with the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries and the impairment losses recognised on the amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries to the Group are free from material misstatements. Any adjustments that might have been found to be necessary would have a consequential significant effect on the net assets of the Group at 31 December 2012 and the loss attributable to the equity holders of the Company for the six months ended 31 December 2012.

(4) Going concern basis of accounting

As disclosed in note 2 to the interim financial information, the Group incurred a loss attributable to the owners of the Company of approximately HK$13,558,000 for the six months ended 31 December 2012, which indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The interim financial information have been prepared on a going concern basis. The validity of the going concern assumption on which the interim financial information are prepared is dependent on the favorable outcomes of (i) the repayment of the amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries of approximately HK$36,450,000 of which details were set out in the Company’s announcement dated 29 January 2013; (ii) the extension of repayment of loan facility of approximately HK$31,403,000 granted by a company owned by an executive director of which details were set out in the Company’s announcement dated 2 April 2013; (iii) the completion of the conditional subscription agreement, in which was under certain conditions as further disclosed in note 2, 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 which was under certain conditions as further disclosed in note 2, in the principal amount of HK$40,000,000 of which details were set out in the Company’s announcement dated 21 March 2013 (the “ Proposed Plans ”).

The interim financial information do not include any adjustments that would result from a failure to attain favorable results of the Proposed Plans.

Should the going concern assumption be inappropriate, adjustments may have to be made to reflect the situation that assets may need to be realised at other than the amounts at which they are currently recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position. In addition, the Group may have to provide for further liabilities that might arise, and to reclassify non-

– 14 –

current assets as current assets. We consider that appropriate disclosures have been made in the interim financial information. However, in view of the extent of the uncertainty relating to the outcomes of the Proposed Plans, we disclaim our opinion in respect of the going concern basis.

DISCLAIMER OF OPINION

Because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion paragraphs, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the interim financial information for the six months ended 31 December 2012 as to whether it is prepared in accordance with HKAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.

OTHER MATTER

We draw attention to the fact that the comparative figures set out in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended 31 December 2011 and related disclosures in the interim financial information have not been audited in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Auditing issued by the HKICPA.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability and its shares are listed on the Stock Exchange. The addresses of the registered office of the Company is Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, P.O. Box 2681, Grand Cayman KY1-1111, Cayman Islands and principal place of business of the Company is Unit B, 9/F., The Grande Building, 398 Kwun Tong Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

The interim financial information are presented in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), which is the same as the functional currency of the Company and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (“HK$’000”) except otherwise indicated.

The Company’s principal activity is investment holding and the principal activities of its principal subsidiaries are developing, distributing and marketing of personal care treatment, products and services.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND CONSOLIDATION

The interim financial information for the six months ended 31 December 2011 and 2012 have been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure requirements set out in Chapter 18 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “GEM Listing Rules”) and Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).

The interim financial information do not include all the information and disclosure required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2012 (the “2012 Financial Statements”).

Going concern basis

These interim financial information 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$13,558,000 for the six months ended 31 December 2012, 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 of the Company have given careful consideration 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 interim financial information have been prepared on a going concern basis. The validity of the going concern assumption on which the interim financial information are prepared is dependent on the favorable outcomes of (i) the repayment of the amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries (as defined below) of approximately HK$36,450,000 of which details were set out in the Company’s announcement dated 29 January 2013; (ii) the extension of repayment of loan facility of approximately HK$31,403,000 granted by a company owned by an executive Director of which details were set out in the Company’s announcement dated 2 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 were set out in the Company’s announcement dated 21 March 2013 (the “Proposed Plans”).

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 the allotment and issue of the conversion shares); and (ii) the grant of the waiver to be granted by the Securities and Future Commission of Hong Kong (“SFC”);

– 20 –

  • (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 the fulfillment of the following conditions:

  • (a) completion of the Subscription Agreement;

  • (b) the publication of an announcement of the subscriber holdings 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 interim financial information 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 interim financial information 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 interim financial information 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 interim financial information 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 interim financial information.

– 21 –

Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries

The interim financial information for the six months ended 31 December 2012 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 six months ended 31 December 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’s 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 of the Company 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 of the Group which mainly concern the Group’s operation involving BSHK Group.

Given these circumstances, the directors have not consolidated the financial statements of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries in these interim financial information. 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 2012 Financial Statements. Moreover, at 31 December 2012 and 30 June 2012, the amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries to the Group of approximately HK$279,460,000 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 for the six months ended 31 December 2012 and in the 2012 Financial Statements respectively.

In the opinion of the Directors, these interim financial information and the 2012 Financial Statements 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 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”.

3. ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of the interim financial information for the six months ended 31 December 2012 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and key sources of uncertainty were the same as those applied in the preparation of the 2012 Financial Statements.

– 22 –

4. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRSs”)

The accounting policies used in the preparation of the interim financial information for the six months ended 31 December 2012 are consistent with those used in the 2012 Financial Statements, except for the adoption of the revised HKFRSs as of 1 July 2012 as noted below.

HKAS 1 (Amendments) Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income HKAS 12 (Amendments) Deferred Tax — Recovery of Underlying Assets

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.

Impairment test on trademark

The Group completed its impairment test for the intangible asset by comparing its recoverable amount to the carrying amount as at 30 June 2012. The recoverable amount of the intangible asset is determined based on value in use calculation of the cash flow projections on the financial estimation. As at 30 June 2012, the Directors are in the opinion that there will be no future cash inflow contributed by the trademark “Blu Spa” to the Group due to the cessation of business operations using “Blu Spa” trademark. As such, the impairment loss approximately HK$7,488,000 was recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 30 June 2012.

CODE ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

The Stock Exchange issued the Corporate Governance Code and Corporate Governance Report (the “CG Code and Report”) contained in Appendix 15 of the GEM Listing Rules which sets out the principles and the code provisions which listed issuers are expected to apply and comply.

On 28 February 2013, the Company engaged ZHONGLEI Risk Advisory Services Limited to conduct a review of the Group’s internal control system (the “ICR Review”). The compliance with the CG Code and Report is one of the scopes of the ICR Review. The review period is defined as the period from 1 July 2012 to 31 December 2012 and the report of the ICR Review was issued on 16 April 2013.

During the period under review, the Company has applied the principles as set out in the CG Code and Report that are considered relevant to the Company and has complied with most of the code provisions of the CG Code and Report save for certain deviations as stated below.

Notice of regular board meeting

Code provision A.1.3 of the CG Code and Report stipulates that notice of at least 14 days should be given of a regular board meeting to give all directors an opportunity to attend. During the period under review, at least 7 business days’ notice of regular board meeting are given to all Directors. The board considers that 7 days’ notice is adequate for all Directors to arrange for attending regular board meeting.

Insurance for potential legal actions against the Directors

Code provision A.1.8 of the CG Code and Report stipulates that the Company should arrange appropriate insurance to cover potential legal actions against its Directors. During the period under review, the Company had not yet been offered by any insurance company of any insurance policy for the Directors for indemnifying their liabilities arising from corporate activities.

Roles of Chairman and Chief Executive

Code provision A.2.1 of the CG Code and Report stipulates that the roles of chairman and chief executive should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual.

Ms. Keung Wai Fun, Samantha resigned as the chief executive officer of the Company with effect from 7 March 2012. Since then, the position of chief executive officer remains vacant.

Due to practical necessity of the Group’s corporate operating structure, the roles of the chairman and the chief executive officer are both performed by Mr. Yu Shu Kuen who is the chairman and managing Director overseeing the operation and management of the Group. The Board believes that this structure will not impair the balance of power and authority between the Board and the management of the Company.

Establishment of written guidelines on dealings with the Company’s shares

Code provision A.6.4 of the CG Code and Report stipulates that the board should establish written guidelines no less exacting than the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers for relevant employees in respect of their dealings in the Company’s securities. During the period under review, no formal written guidelines on dealings with the Company’s shares had been established. The board believes that all the relevant employees shall have the knowledge and understanding of the requirements under the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers by attending different training courses.

Financial reporting

Code provision C.1.2 of the CG Code and Report stipulates that management should provide all members of the Board with monthly updates giving balanced and understandable assessment of the Company’s performance, position and prospects in sufficient detail. During the period under review, the management of the Company did not provide monthly updates to all members of the Board, as all the executive Directors were involved in the daily operation of the Group and were fully aware of the performance, position and prospects, and the management of the Company has provided all Directors quarterly updates of the Company’s performance, position and prospects in sufficient details during the regular board meetings of the Company.

During the period under review, no formal written document was established to specify and formalize the functions reserved to the board and delegated to management and the division of responsibilities, accountabilities and contributions between the board and management.
