INTERIM REPORT
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 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.
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited and The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited take no responsibility for the contents of this report, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this report.
This report, for which the directors (the “Directors”) of EDS Wellness 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 report 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 report misleading.
This report will remain on the “Latest Company Announcements” page of the GEM website at www. hkgem.com for a minimum period of 7 days from the date of its publication and on the Company’s website at www.eds-wellness.com.

3. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATION FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs, which is a collective term that includes all applicable individual HKFRSs, HKASs and Interpretations issued by the HKICPA, and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong except for the non-consolidation of certain subsidiaries of the Group as explained below. In addition, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the GEM Listing Rules and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis.
– 5 –
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment 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 annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2013.
All significant intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gain in transaction within the Group have been eliminated on consolidation.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with current period’s presentation.
Going concern basis
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis notwithstanding that the Group incurred a loss of approximately HK$2,139,000 for the six months ended 31 December 2013, which indicates the existence of a material uncertainty which may cause significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Directors 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 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 favorable outcomes of (i) the repayment of the other receivable due from a debtor of approximately HK$43,987,000 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements; (ii) the extension of repayment of loan facility of approximately HK$52,580,000 granted by a company owned by an executive Director of which details were set out in the Company’s announcements dated 2 April 2012, 7 May 2012, 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, 30 April 2013, 31 May 2013, 28 June 2013, 31 July 2013, 30 August 2013, 17 October 2013 and 31 December 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 announcements dated 21 March 2013, 11 April 2013, 25 April 2013, 9 May 2013, 24 May 2013, 11 June 2013, 30 October 2013 and the Company’s circular dated 23 May 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 announcements dated 21 March 2013, 11 April 2013, 25 April 2013, 9 May 2013, 24 May 2013, 11 June 2013, 30 October 2013 and the Company’s circular dated 23 May 2013 (the “Proposed Plans”).
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.

Subsidiaries not consolidated
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements 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”), 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 since 1 July 2011.
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 liquidators. The notice of appointment of joint and several liquidators were published on the government gazette on 26 February 2013. Upon the appointment of the liquidators, the assets of BSHK will be realised, where possible and appropriate.
As set out in the Company’s announcement dated 9 April 2013, regarding the results of the Company’s engagement of an independent professional firm 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”) and the findings of the Forensic Investigation indicate that 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 in the BSHK Group.
Given these circumstances, the Directors have not consolidated the financial statements of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As such, the results, assets and liabilities of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries have not been included into the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group for the six months ended 31 December 2013. At 31 December 2013, the amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries to the Group of approximately HK$241,346,000 of which accumulated impairment loss of approximately HK$241,346,000 were recognised in the previous years. The Directors are of the view that the carrying amounts of these amounts were not recoverable.
In the opinion of the Directors, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2013 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 was 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 (“KIL”), of which Mr. Yu Zhen Hua, Johnny, the Chairman of the Board and an executive 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 thereon for the First Loan Agreement entered 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 extension 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 28 February 2014, by entering of sixteen supplementary loan extension agreements (the “Extension 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, 30 April 2013, 31 May 2013, 28 June 2013, 31 July 2013, 30 August 2013 and 31 December 2013 respectively.
On 17 October 2013, the Company and KIL entered into a supplemental agreement (the “Supplemental Agreement”), pursuant to which and subject to the terms and conditions of the Second Loan Agreement and the Extension Agreements, KIL has increased the loan facility available to the Company from HK$50,000,000 to up to a principal amount of HK$60,000,000 provided that the Company shall further provide KIL with a cheque drawn on a licensed bank in Hong Kong in the total amount of HK$60,000,000 dated 31 December 2013 and made payable to KIL. Subject to the changes under the Supplemental Agreement, all other terms and conditions of the Second Loan Agreement and the Extension Agreements remain the same.
On 30 August 2013, the EDS International Holdings Limited (“EDS International”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and two independent third parties (the “Vendors”) entered into a legal binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”), pursuant to which EDS International agreed to acquire and the Vendors agreed to sell 51% issued share capital (the “Sale Shares”) of China Honest Enterprises Limited (the “Target Company”) and the obligations, liabilities and debts owing by or due from the Target Company to the Vendors (the “Sale Loan”) as at the completion date (the “Proposed Acquisition”). A formal share and purchase agreement, incorporating the major terms and conditions in the Term Sheet, had been entered into between EDS International and the Vendors on 18 October 2013 (the “Sale and Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, EDS International conditionally agreed to acquire, and the Vendors conditionally agreed to sell, the Sale Shares and the Sale Loan at the maximum consideration of HK$21.42 million. The maximum consideration shall be satisfied in the following manner: (a) a deposit of HK$2 million, being part payment of the consideration, has been paid by EDS International to the Vendors in cash upon signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement; and (b) the remaining balance HK$19.42 million shall be satisfied by EDS International by payment of cash and procuring of the Company to issue of the promissory note on the completion date. The Acquisition constitutes a very substantial acquisition on the part of the Company under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules and is therefore subject to shareholders’ approval at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company. Details of the
– 17 –
transaction were set out in the Company’s announcement dated 4 November 2013. As at the date of this report, the Company is in the process of preparing the circular in relation to the Proposed Acquisition.
In December 2013, the Group introduced a new range of products of “Evidens de Beauté” (the “Extreme Line”) to the market. On 18 December 2013, the Group organised an event to celebrate and publicise its new launch of the Extreme Line.

The gross profit margin was approximately 36.3% as compared with a gross loss margin of approximately 54.3% recorded in the corresponding period last year.
Other revenue and income of approximately HK$3.4 million was mainly contributed by the other interest income on overdue receivable in relation to the refundable deposit of approximately HK$39.1 million.
The administrative expenses amounted to approximately HK$5.1 million, representing a decrease of 42.7% over the same period last year. Such decrease was mainly contributed by the decrease of (i) staff cost from approximately HK$3.4 million to approximately HK$1.4 million; (ii) legal and professional fees from approximately HK$1.2 million to approximately HK$1.0 million; (iii) rent and rate expenses from approximately HK$0.75 million to approximately HK$0.24 million; and (iv) entertainment and overseas travelling expenses in an aggregate of approximately HK$0.93 million to approximately HK$0.07 million.

The improvement of the Group’s results was mainly contributed by (i) the turnaround of the Group’s operation from gross loss margin to gross profit margin; (ii) the decrease of administrative expenses; and (iii) the record of other interest income on overdue receivable in relation to the refundable deposit.

LITIGATION
As disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 5 April 2012, 4 July 2012, 24 July 2012, 3 August 2012, 21 August 2012, 28 September 2012, 26 October 2012, 1 November 2012, 21 December 2012, 29 January 2013, 25 April 2013 and 3 May 2013 respectively in relation to, among other matters, the deed of termination, entered into between Blu Spa (Hong Kong) Limited (“BSHK”, a deconsolidated subsidiary) and Mr. Shum Yeung (“Mr. Shum”) in relation to the termination of the acquisition of 70% equity interest of Vertical Signal Investments Limited, pursuant to which Mr. Shum shall repay BSHK the full amount of the refundable deposit of HK$45,000,000, the issuing of the writ of summons (the “Writ”) in the High Court of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region by BSHK against Mr. Shum, the subsequent execution of the deed of settlement (the “Deed of Settlement”) by BSHK and Mr. Shum for the settlement of legal proceedings represented by the Writ, the extension to the repayment dates for Mr. Shum to make repayment pursuant to the Deed of Settlement, the execution of the deed of assignment (the “Deed of Assignment”), the execution of a second deed of settlement (the “Second Deed of Settlement”) by BSHK, the Company and Mr. Shum, the repayment proposal agreed between the Company and Mr. Shum (the “Repayment Proposal”), the new repayment proposal agreed between the Company and Mr. Shum (the “New Repayment Proposal”) and the additional security provided by Dutfield International Group Company Limited to the Company for the recovery of the outstanding amount due by Mr. Shum.
As Mr. Shum defaulted to settle the outstanding amount due to the Company, the Company applied to the Court to restore the hearing of the summary judgment application and substitute BSHK as the plaintiff in the summary judgment application against Mr. Shum. On 25 July 2013, a consent order was granted by the Court of First Instance of the High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region that, among others, the Company be granted leave to substitute BSHK as the plaintiff in the legal action against Mr. Shum. An amended statement of claim was filed on about 30 July 2013.
At the hearing of the Company’s application for summary judgment held on 6 September 2013 (the “Summary Judgment”), the Court adjudged that Mr. Shum (i) do pay the Company the sum of HK$39,127,500 together with contractual interest thereon calculated from day to day at the rate of 30% per annum from 1 May 2013 to 6 September 2013, and thereafter at judgment rate pursuant to s. 48 of High Court Ordinance until payment, i.e. 8% per annum from 7 September 2013 until payment; and (ii) shall pay the Company the costs of this action including the costs of the Company’s judgment to be taxed if not agreed. The Company demanded Mr. Shum’s immediate payment of the judgment debt. As Mr. Shum failed to settle the judgment debt, the Company applied to the Court for garnishee orders (the “Garnishee Orders”) and charging orders (the “Charging Orders”) for the recovery of the judgment debt. The hearing of the Garnishee Orders and Charging Orders was originally fixed to be heard on 6 November 2013. However, Mr. Shum made an application to the Court on 4 November 2013 for staying the proceedings for the Charging Orders and the Garnishee Orders and setting aside the Summary Judgment. The Company asked for the adjournment of hearing on 6 November 2013 in order to file and serve affirmation in opposition to Mr. Shum’s application. The application for making the Charging Orders and Garnishee Orders and Mr. Shum’s application was therefore adjourned to be heard on 5 March 2014.
