CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”)
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange.

This announcement, 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 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.

Note:
On 30 April 2010, Blu Spa Hong Kong Limited (“ BSHK ”) entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Mr. Shum Yeung (“ mr. Shum ”), pursuant to which BSHK had agreed to acquire (a) 70% of the entire issued share capital of an entity and (b) a shareholder’s loan to such entity at a total consideration of HK$80,000,000.
The acquisition did not proceed and the Group has entered into various deed of termination and deeds of settlement with Mr. Shum and a deed of guarantee with Dutfield International Group Company Limited (“ Dutfield ”) in relation to the repayment of the refundable deposit. As Mr. Shum defaulted in the full repayment of the refundable deposit and the accrued contractual interest despite repeated demands and requests, the Company had obtained a judgment against Mr. Shum pursuant to which it was adjudged, inter alia, that Mr. Shum shall pay to the Company the sum of HK$39,127,500 (being the amount of the outstanding and unpaid refundable deposit) together with contractual interest 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 the High Court Ordinance until payment. As at 31 December 2014, the aggregate amount of the outstanding and unpaid refundable deposit and the accrued interest was approximately HK$46,500,000. Since (i) Mr. Shum failed to settle the judgment debt and the accrued interest and commenced various legal actions to prevent the Company from recovering the judgment debt and the accrued interest including a fresh legal action as announced by the Company in its announcement dated 23 January 2015; (ii) it was unclear whether and when the Company would be able to receive the judgment debt and the accrued interest in full from selling (1) the charged shares in Mr. Shum’s companies; and (2) the charged properties as those properties were held by Mr. Shum and another individual as joint tenants and subject to mortgages given that the Company did not have the information of the financial status of Mr. Shum and his companies, the amount of Mr. Shum’s interest in the charged properties and the outstanding loan amounts under the mortgages; and (iii) the ability of Dutfield to fulfil its obligations under the guarantee depended on the outcome of the legal proceedings for, inter alia, its claim for the sum of HK$141,360,000 under a loan agreement but Dutfield failed to obtain a summary judgment against the debtor and the outcome of the legal proceedings was uncertain, the Company decided to recognise an impairment on the judgment debt and the accrued interest in the aggregate amount of approximately HK$46,500,000. For further details, please refer to the Company’s announcements 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, 3 May 2013, 12 January 2015, 23 January 2015, 1 April 2015, 19 May 2015 and 9 June 2015 and the sub-section headed “Litigations” under the section headed “Management Discussion and Analysis” of the interim report dated 11 August 2015 for the six months ended 30 June 2015 of the Company.

The Group is principally engaged in the sale of beauty products and provision of therapy services.

During the period under review, the performance of the sale of beauty products was not satisfactory. As the decline in 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.

During the period under review, the revenue generated from the sale of beauty products and provision of therapy services by China Honest, a 51% owned subsidiary, was approximately HK$0.8 million (2014: approximately HK$0.3 million) and HK$18.2 million (2014: approximately HK$8.9 million) respectively. The revenue generated from the sale of beauty products and the provision of therapy services under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté” was approximately HK$1.3 million (2014: approximately HK$8.6 million) and HK$0.4 million (2014: approximately HK$0.9 million) respectively.
The gross profit margin was approximately 25.8% (2014: approximately 41.4%). China Honest contributed approximately HK$5.8 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$0.4 million.
Other revenue of approximately HK$0.1 million (2014: approximately HK$1.8 million) was mainly contributed by the interest income on bank deposits. 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$1.55 million.
The selling and distribution costs was approximately HK$0.9 million (2014: approximately HK$0.3 million), representing an increase of approximately 160.1% over the last corresponding period. Such increase was mainly attributed to advertising expenses incurred by China Honest, which is acquired by the Group in April 2014 during the period under review. China Honest accounted for approximately 79.6% or HK$0.7 million of the total selling and distribution costs.
The administrative expenses was approximately HK$11.2 million (2014: approximately HK$13.5 million), representing a decrease of 16.6% over the last corresponding period. Such decrease was mainly contributed by the absence of the loss on disposal of fixed assets incurred in the relocation of the spa centre in June 2014 and the legal and professional fees incurred in the second quarter of 2014 for the resumption of trading in the Company’s shares on the Stock Exchange. China Honest accounted for approximately 25.5% or HK$2.9 million of the total administrative expenses during the period under review.
The finance costs of approximately HK$0.5 million (2014: approximately HK$3.8 million) was mainly attributed to the imputed interest on the promissory notes of approximately HK$0.4 million during the period under review. The decrease was mainly contributed by the decrease in interest on other borrowings from approximately HK$3.0 million in the last corresponding period to approximately HK$0.1 million in the current period, due to the full repayment of the borrowing from Koffman Investment by the Company in June 2014.
The consolidated loss attributable to owners of the Company amounted to approximately HK$8.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2015 (2014: approximately HK$9.6 million). The improvement of the results was mainly contributed by (i) the decrease in finance costs and (ii) the absence of the legal and professional fees for resumption incurred in 2014 and the loss on disposal of fixed assets in 2014.

OutLOOK
The Board believes that the entering into of the Subscription Agreement represents a good opportunity to improve its financial position and liquidity and the possible development of certain 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.
The Hong Kong retail market has been in decline since last year and official figures are showing no signs of improvement. According to the Census and Statistic Department, the total retail sales in Hong Kong for the first quarter of 2015 were down by 2.3% year-on-year. With the implementation of a tightened policy on Chinese tourists in response to mounting concern on capacity constraints, the directors do not expect any growth in the Group’s sale of beauty products and provision of therapy services in 2015. The management will cautiously monitor the market, adopt appropriate measures and business strategies in response to changing market conditions.

CODE On COrPOrAtE GOVErnAnCE PrACtICES
During the period under review, the Company had applied the principles as set out in the code provisions in the Corporate Governance Code and Corporate Governance Report (the “ CG Code and report ”) contained in Appendix 15 to the GEM Listing Rules save for certain deviations as stated below.
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 is still arranging for appropriate liability insurance for the Directors for indemnifying their liabilities arising from corporate activities.
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.
