MaNaGEMENT DISCuSSION aND aNaLySIS
business Review
The Group is principally engaged in the sale of beauty products and provision of therapy services. For the sale of beauty products, the Group offers a variety of beauty products under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté”, and a variety of medical skincare products, including the brand “Activa”. For the provision of therapy services, the Group operates a medical skincare centre under the trade name “COLLAGEN+” at Soundwill Plaza in Causeway Bay.
During the period under review, the performance of the sale of beauty products was not satisfactory. As the decline in the growth of the number of Mainland visitors to Hong Kong and their spending power has affected the whole retail sector in Hong Kong since last year, the revenue derived from the sale of beauty products and provision of therapy services under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté” recorded a substantial decrease as compared with that of the last corresponding period.
In response to the adverse market conditions, the Group had implemented the following measures for its operations under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté” during the period under review, including (a) to cease the provision of facial sahos, body treatments and wellness massages services under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté” at the beauty centre at Lyndhurst Terrace in Central in order to reduce the Group’s headcount; (b) to maintain the beauty centre at Lyndhurst Terrace as the Group’s sale office for “Evidens de Beauté” beauty products; (c) to early terminate the tenancy agreement of the Group’s sale office in Kwun Tong by the end of November 2015 and relocate the staffs at the sale office from Kwun Tong office to the beauty centre at Lyndhurst Terrace in order to reduce the Group’s fixed overheads; and (d) to transit the existing direct selling model of beauty products under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté” to a high volume but low cost wholesale model.
On 15 April 2015, a joint announcement (the “ Joint announcement ”) was published by the Company, Xing Hang Limited (“ Xing Hang ”) and Eternity Investment Limited in respect of, among other things, the subscription of 345,000,000 new ordinary shares of the Company and 30,000,000 new convertible preferred shares of par value of HK$0.10 each in the share capital of the Company (the “ Subscription ”) under the subscription agreement dated 17 February 2015 (the “ Subscription agreement ”) entered into between the Company and six subscribers (the “ Subscribers ”), the master supply agreement (the “ Master Supply agreement ”) to be entered into between the Company and Shenzhen Donica Electronic Technology Co., Ltd upon completion of the Subscription in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement, the transaction and the proposed annual caps as contemplated in the Master Supply Agreement, the unconditional mandatory cash offer to be made by Kingston Securities Limited on behalf of Xing Hang to acquire all the issued ordinary shares of the Company (other than the ordinary shares of the Company owned or agreed to be acquired by Xing Hang and parties acting in concert with it), the reclassification and redesignation of the existing authorised share capital of the Company and the amendment to the bye-laws of the Company (the “ Transactions ”). The Transactions are subject to the approval of the independent shareholders of the Company. The long stop date of the Subscription Agreement
— 8 —
was extended by two supplemental agreements entered into on 19 June 2015 and 28 August 2015 respectively by parties to the Subscription Agreement from 19 June 2015 to 31 August 2015 and from 31 August 2015 to 31 October 2015 respectively. A circular was issued by the Company on 7 October 2015 in relation to the Transactions. The Transactions was approved at the special general meeting held on 30 October 2015 and completed on 6 November 2015.
Financial Review
During the period under review, the Group recorded a turnover of approximately HK$32.4 million, representing an increase of approximately 7.9% as compared with that of the last corresponding period, of which approximately HK$3.2 million (2014: approximately HK$9.9 million) and approximately HK$29.2 million (2014: approximately HK$20.1 million) were generated from the sale of beauty products and provision of therapy services respectively.
During the period under review, the revenue generated from the sale of beauty products and provision of therapy services by China Honest Enterprises Limited (“ China Honest ”), a 51% owned subsidiary, was approximately HK$1.1 million (2014: approximately HK$0.6 million) and approximately HK$28.6 million (2014: approximately HK$18.9 million) respectively. The revenue generated from the sale of beauty products and provision of therapy services under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté” was approximately HK$2.1 million (2014: approximately HK$8.9 million) and HK$0.6 million (2014: approximately HK$1.2 million) respectively.
For the nine months ended 30 September 2015, the gross profit margin was approximately 27.0% (2014: approximately 37.8%). China Honest contributed approximately HK$9.3 million to the gross profit of the Group, while the operations under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté” recorded a gross loss of approximately HK$0.6 million.
Other income for the nine months ended 30 September 2015 of approximately HK$0.2 million (2014: approximately HK$3.0 million) was mainly contributed by the interest income of bank deposit. Compared with the last corresponding period, the decrease in other revenue was mainly attributed to the absence of interest income on other receivable, which was impaired in December 2014, of approximately HK$46.5 million.
The selling and distribution costs for the nine months ended 30 September 2015 was approximately HK$1.5 million (2014: approximately HK$1.0 million), representing an increase of approximately 49.9% over the last corresponding period. Such increase was mainly attributed to the advertisement and promotion expenses incurred by China Honest during the period under review. China Honest accounted for approximately 85.0% or HK$1.2 million of the total selling and distribution costs.
— 9 —
During the period under review, the administrative expenses was approximately HK$23.7 million (2014: approximately HK$16.9 million), representing an increase of 40.6% over the last corresponding period. Such increase was mainly attributed to the staffs costs incurred by the whollyforeign-owned enterprise (the “ WFOE ”) in Shenzhen, the PRC, which was incorporated on 13 April 2015. China Honest accounted for approximately 19.2% or HK$4.5 million of the total administrative expenses during the period under review.
The finance costs for the nine months ended 30 September 2014 of approximately HK$0.7 million (2014: approximately HK$4.7 million), was mainly attributed to the imputed interest on the promissory notes of approximately HK$0.4 million and the interest on other borrowings of approximately HK$0.3 million during the period under review. The decrease was contributed by the decrease in the interest on other borrowings from approximately HK$3.4 million in the last corresponding period to approximately HK$0.3 million in the current period, due to the full repayment of the borrowing from Hong Kong Builders Finance Limited and Koffman Investment Limited by the Company in August 2014 and May 2014 respectively.
The consolidated loss attributable to owners of the Company amounted to approximately HK$19.0 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2015 (2014: approximately HK$11.3 million). The deterioration of the results was mainly attributed to (i) an unsatisfactory performance of the business segment under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté”; and (ii) the increase in staff costs including directors’ emoluments which was mainly attributable to the staff costs incurred by the WFOE since April 2015.
OuTLOOK
The Directors consider that the streamline of the operation under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté” will enable the Group to create a lean overheads and cost effective operating structure for the sale of beauty products business under such brand and well position itself to fully capitalise on opportunities when market conditions improve.
With regard to the operation of China Honest, in view of its satisfactory performance since its acquisition on 11 April 2014, the Group will maintain its present scale of operation in the sale of beauty products and the provision of therapy services. The Group will allocate resources to China Honest to promote the brand name “COLLAGEN+” in order to broaden its client base and enhance its competitiveness.
On the other hand, the Board believes that the completion of the Subscription Agreement on 6 November 2015 represents a good opportunity to improve its financial position and liquidity and the development of the new business in a segment different from the existing business of the Group will diversify and broaden its revenue sources and improve its profitability in the long run.
