(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands and continued in Bermuda with limited liability)

(Stock Code: 8176)

FINAL RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2014

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. 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 and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

This announcement, for which 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 enquiries, 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.

Notes:

(a) Merger reserve

The merger reserve of the Group represents the differences between the carrying amount of the share capital and share premium of Blu Spa Group Limited at the date on which it was acquired by the Company and the nominal amount of the Company’s share issued in exchange pursuant to the group reorganisation. Blu Spa Group Limited had been disposed during the period and therefore the merger reserve had been transferred to accumulated losses.

(b) Contributed surplus

Pursuant to the Company Act 1981 of Bermuda and the special resolution passed at the extraordinary general meeting held on 28 February 2013, transfer a sum of HK$175,357,000 from share premium account to the contributed surplus account was approved. The directors of the Company further approved to transfer a sum of HK$278,124,000 from contributed surplus account to accumulated losses account for the purpose of setting off against the accumulated losses.

(c) Convertible bonds reserve

The convertible bonds reserve represents the value of the unexercised equity component of convertible bonds issued by the Company.

(d) Translation reserve

Exchange differences relating to the translation of the results and net assets of the Group’s foreign operations from their functional currencies to the Group’s presentation currency (i.e. Hong Kong dollars) are recognised directly in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the translation reserve.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. General information

The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands and with effect from 22 April 2014, the Company deregistered in the Cayman Islands and continued in Bermuda as an exempted company with limited liability and its shares are listed on the Stock Exchange. The addresses of the registered office and the principal place of business of the Company are Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM11, Bermuda and Unit 3811, 38/F., Shun Tak Centre, West Tower, 168–200 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong respectively.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in units of thousands of Hong Kong dollars ( HK$’000 ), unless otherwise stated, which is the same as the functional currency of the Company.

The Company is an investment holding company and the principal activities of its principal subsidiaries are developing, distributing and marketing of personal care treatments, products and services.

2. Basis of preparation of the consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“ HKFRSs ”), which is a collective term that includes all applicable HKFRSs, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“ HKASs ”) and Interpretations (“ Int ”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “ HKICPA ”), and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong except for non-consolidation of certain subsidiaries of the Group as explained below. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing Securities on the GEM of the Stock Exchange (the “ GEM Listing Rules ”) and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for leasing transactions that are within the scope of HKAS 17 and measurement that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in HKAS 2 or value in use in HKAS 36.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

  • Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for asset or liability.

Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries

The 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 (together, “ Unconsolidated Subsidiaries ”) have not provided complete documentary information and reasonable explanation in respect of the transactions asserted to have been undertaken since 1 July 2011. The directors of the Company have not been able to obtain complete documentary information to satisfy themselves regarding the accounting treatments in respect of those transactions since then.

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. 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. 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.

As set out in the Company’s announcement dated 9 April 2013, regarding the result 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 the BSHK Group.

Given these circumstances, the directors of the Company have not consolidated the financial statements of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries in these consolidated financial statements. 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. At 30 June 2014, the amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries to the Group of HK$241,426,000 of which impairment loss of HK$80,000 was recognised during the year and accumulated impairment losses of approximately HK$241,426,000 was recorded. In addition, the Group recorded amounts due to the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries of approximately HK$1,309,000 at 30 June 2014.

In the opinion of the directors of the Company, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 was 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.

On 19 December 2014, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement to dispose of the entire issued share capital of Blu Spa Group Limited (“ BSG ”) to Koffman Investment Limited (“ KIL ”), the issued share of which is 50% owned by Mr. Yu Zhen Hua, Johnny (“ Mr. Yu ”), the chairman and a director of the Company, who resigned on 19 January 2015 at a cash consideration of HK$1.00. BSG is the intermediate holding company of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries. The disposal was completed on 19 December 2014. Given these circumstances, the Company presented the amounts due from Unconsolidated Subsidiaries as other receivables at 31 December 2014.

Change of financial year-end date

During the current financial period, the reporting period end date of the Group was changed from 30 June to 31 December because the directors of the Company determined to bring the annul reporting period end date of the Group in line with that of the ultimate holding company. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements for the current period covered the six months period ended 31 December 2014. The corresponding comparative amounts shown on the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity, and related notes covered a twelve months period from 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2014 and therefore may not be comparable with amounts shown for current period.

3. Application of new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (the “HKFRSs”)

In the current period, the Group has applied for the first time, the following new and revised standards and Int issued by the HKICPA (collectively referred to as “ new and revised HKFRSs ”), which are effective for the Group’s financial period beginning on 1 July 2014.

HKFRS 10, HKFRS 12 and Investment Entities HKAS 27 (Amendments) HKFRSs (Amendments) Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2010–2012 Cycle HKFRSs (Amendments) Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2011–2013 Cycle HKAS 19 (Amendments) Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions HKAS 32 (Amendments) Presentation — Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities HKAS 39 (Amendments) Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement — Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting HK(IFRIC) — Int 21 Levies

The Group has early applied the amendments to HKAS 36 Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets , which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014, in the financial year ended 30 June 2014.

Amendments to HKFRS 10, HKFRS 12 and HKAS 27 investment entities

The Group has applied the amendments to HKFRS 10, HKFRS 12 and HKAS 27 Investment Entities for the first time in the current period. The amendments to HKFRS 10 define an investment entity and require a reporting entity that meets the definition of an investment entity not to consolidate its subsidiaries but instead to measure its subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss in its consolidated and separate financial statements.

To qualify as an investment entity, a reporting entity is required to:

  • obtain funds from one or more investors for the purpose of providing them with investment management services;

  • commit to its investor(s) that its business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment income, or both; and

  • measure and evaluate performance of substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis.

Consequential amendments have been made to HKFRS 12 and HKAS 27 to introduce new disclosure requirements for investment entities.

As the Company is not an investment entity (assessed based on the criteria set out in HKFRS 10 at 1 January 2014), the application of the amendments has had no impact on the disclosures or the amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to HKAS 32 offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

The Group has applied the amendments to HKAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities for the first time in the current period. The amendments to HKAS 32 clarify the requirements relating to the offset of financial assets and financial liabilities. Specifically, the amendments clarify the meaning of ‘currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off’ and ‘simultaneous realisation and settlement’.

The amendments have been applied retrospectively. As the Group does not have any financial assets and financial liabilities that qualify for offset, the application of the amendments has had no impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

– 10 –

Amendments to HKAS 39 novation of derivatives and continuation of hedge accounting

The Group has applied the amendments to HKAS 39 Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting for the first time in the current period. The amendments to HKAS 39 provide relief from the requirement to discontinue hedge accounting when a derivative designated as hedging instrument is novated under certain circumstances. The amendments also clarify that any change to the fair value of the derivative designated as a hedging instrument arising from the novation should be included in the assessment and measurement of hedge effectiveness.

The amendments have been applied retrospectively. As the Group does not have any derivatives that are subject to novation, the application of these amendments has had no impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

HK (IFRIC) — int 21 levies

The Group has applied HK(IFRIC) — Int 21 Levies for the first time in the current period. HK(IFRIC) — Int 21 addresses the issue as to when to recognise a liability to pay a levy imposed by a government. The Interpretation defines a levy, and specifies that the obligating event that gives rise to the liability is the activity that triggers the payment of the levy, as identified by legislation. The Interpretation provides guidance on how different levy arrangements should be accounted for, in particular, it clarifies that neither economic compulsion nor the going concern basis of financial statements preparation implies that an entity has a present obligation to pay a levy that will be triggered by operating in a future period.

HK(IFRIC) — Int 21 has been applied retrospectively. The application of this Interpretation has had no material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to HKAS 19 defined benefit plans: employee contributions

The Group has applied the amendments to HKAS 19 Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions for the first time in the current period. The amendments to HKAS 19 clarify how an entity should account for contributions made by employees or third parties to defined benefit plans, based on whether those contributions are dependent on the number of years of service provided by the employee.

For contributions that are independent of the number of years of service, the entity may either recognise the contributions as a reduction in the service cost in the period in which the related service is rendered, or to attribute them to the employees’ periods of service using the projected unit credit method; whereas for contributions that are dependent on the number of years of service, the entity is required to attribute them to the employees’ periods of service.

The amendments have been applied retrospectively. As the Group does not have any defined benefit plans, the application of these amendments has had no impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

– 11 –

Annual improvements to HKFRSs 2010–2012 cycle

The Group has applied the Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2010–2012 Cycle for the first time in the current period. The Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2010–2012 Cycle include a number of amendments to various HKFRSs, which are summarised below.

The amendments to HKFRS 2 (i) change the definitions of ‘vesting condition’ and ‘market condition’; and (ii) add definitions for ‘performance condition’ and ‘service condition’ which were previously included within the definition of ‘vesting condition’. The amendments to HKFRS 2 are effective for share-based payment transactions for which the grant date is on or after 1 July 2014.

The amendments to HKFRS 3 clarify that contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability should be measured at fair value of each reporting date, irrespective of whether the contingent consideration is a financial instrument within the scope of HKFRS 9 or HKAS 39 or a non-financial asset or liability. Changes in fair value (other than measurement period adjustments) should be recognised in profit or loss. The amendments to HKFRS 3 are effective for business combination for which the acquisition date is on or after 1 July 2014.

The amendments to HKFRS 8 (i) require an entity to disclose the judgements made by management in applying the aggregation criteria to operating segments, including a description of the operating segments aggregated and the economic indicators assessed in determining whether the operating segments have ‘similar economic characteristics’; and (ii) clarify that a reconciliation of the total of the reportable segments’ assets to the entity’s assets should only be provided if the segment assets are regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker.

The amendments to the basis for conclusion of HKFRS 13 clarify that the issue of HKFRS 13 and consequential amendments to HKAS 39 and HKFRS 9 did not remove the ability to measure short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rate at their invoice amounts without discounting, if the effect of the discounting is immaterial. As the amendments do not contain any effect date, they are considered to be immediately effective.

The amendments to HKAS 16 and HKAS 38 remove perceived inconsistencies in the accounting for accumulated depreciation/amortisation when an item of property, plant and equipment or an intangible asset is revalued. The amended standards clarify that the gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner consistent with the revaluation of the carrying amount of the asset and that accumulated depreciation/amortisation is the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount after taking into account accumulated impairment losses.

The amendment to HKAS 24 clarifies that a management entity providing key management personnel services to a reporting entity is a related party of the reporting entity. Consequently, the reporting entity should disclose as related party transactions the amounts incurred for the service paid or payable to the management entity for the provision of key management personnel services. However, disclosure of the components of such compensation is not required.

The application of these amendments has had no material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Annual improvements to HKFRS 2011–2013 cycle

The Group has applied the Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2011–2013 Cycle for the first time in the current period. The Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2011–2013 Cycle include a number of amendments to various HKFRSs, which are summarised below.

The amendments to HKFRS 3 clarify that the standard does not apply to the accounting for the formation of all types of joint arrangement in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself.

The amendments to HKFRS 13 clarify that the scope of the portfolio exception for measuring the fair value of a group financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis includes all contracts that are within the scope of, and accounted for in accordance with, HKAS 39 or HKFRS 9, even if those contracts do not meet the definitions of financial assets or financial liabilities within HKAS 32.

The amendments to HKAS 40 clarify that HKAS 40 and HKFRS 3 are not mutually exclusive and application of both standards may be required. Consequently, an entity acquiring investment property must determine whether:

  • (a) the property meets the definition of investment property in terms of HKAS 40; and

  • (b) the transaction meets the definition of a business combination under HKFRS 3.

The application of these amendments has had no material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Save as described above, the application of the above new and revised HKFRSs had no material effect on how the results and financial position for the current or prior accounting periods have been prepared and presented. Accordingly, no prior period adjustment has been required.

6. Operating segments

The Group’s reportable segments have been determined based on the information reported to the chairman of the Board, being the chief operating decision maker, that are used for performance assessment and to make strategic decisions. The Group’s operating businesses are structured and managed separately according to the nature of their operations and the products and services they provide. Each of the Group’s reportable segments represents a strategic business unit that offer products and services which are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of other reportable segments. The Group currently has two reportable segments:

(a) Sale of beauty products

(b) Provision of therapy services

The segment of sale of beauty equipment was discontinued in the current period.

An Analysis of the Group’s revenue, results, assets, liabilities and other selected financial information for the six months ended 31 December 2014 and for the year ended 30 June 2014 by reportable segment is as follows:

Segment revenue reported above represents revenue generated from external customer. There were no inter-segment sales in the current period (for the year ended 30 June 2014: Nil).

Segments results represent (loss incurred)/profit earned by each segment without allocation of central administration costs including directors’ emoluments, other income, finance costs and income tax expense. This is the measure reported to the chief operation decision makers for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.

For the purposes of monitoring segment performance and allocating resources between segments:

  • all assets are allocated to reportable segments other than intangible asset and goodwill that are not attributable to individual segments. Assets used jointly by individual segments are allocated on the basis of the revenues earned by individual segments; and

  • all liabilities are allocated to reportable segments other than amount due to a former director, current tax liabilities, deferred taxation and other financial liabilities that are not attributable to individual segments.

Notes:

  • (a) On 30 April 2010, 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$46.5 million. 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 recognize an impairment on the judgment debt and the accrued interest in the aggregate amount of approximately HK$46.5 million. 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 and 23 January 2015 and the sub-section headed “Litigation” in the section headed “Management Discussion and Analysis” of the annual report dated 18 September 2014 for the year ended 30 June 2014 of the Company.

  • (b) At 30 June 2014, included in “Deposits, prepayments and other receivables” of the Group was the amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries amounting to approximately HK$241,426,000 and accumulated impairment loss of approximately HK$241,426,000 of which HK$80,000 was recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the year ended 30 June 2014. As set out in note 2, the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries was de-consolidated with effect from 1 July 2011. Accordingly, the amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries were reclassified from intercompany balances to the amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries in the consolidated financial statements and above mentioned impairment loss was recognised. The amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries were noninterest bearing, unsecured and repayable on demand. On 19 December 2014, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement to dispose of the entire issued share capital of BSG to KIL at a cash consideration of HK$1.00. BSG was the intermediate holding company of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries. The disposal was completed on 19 December 2014. Given these circumstances, the Group presented the amounts due from Unconsolidated Subsidiaries and the respective accumulated impairment losses as other receivables and the accumulated impairment losses on other receivables for the year ended 31 December 2014 respectively.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Business review

Following the resumption of the trading in the shares of the Company on 14 April 2014 and the completion of the capital reorganization of the Company on 13 May 2014, the Company on 22 May 2014 announced that the subscription for the convertible bonds (the “ Convertible Bonds ”) in the principal amount of HK$40.0 million by New Cove Limited (the “ CB Subscriber ”), an indirect whollyowned subsidiary of Eternity Investment Limited (“ Eternity ”) of which its issued shares are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange (Stock Code: 764), was completed. On 2 July 2014 and 30 September 2014, the CB Subscriber converted the Convertible Bonds in the principal amount of HK$25.0 million into 25,000,000 shares of the Company and HK$15.0 million into 15,000,000 shares of the Company respectively. Following the conversion of the Convertible Bonds, Eternity became the controlling shareholder of the Company.

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 spa centre with the brand “La Spa Evidens

– 26 –

de Beauté” to offer spa, facial sahos, body treatments and wellness massages services at Lyndhurst Terrace in Central and a medical skincare centre under the trade name “COLLAGEN+” at Soundwill Plaza in Causeway Bay.

For the purpose of reducing administrative expenses and audit fees of the Group, on 19 December 2014, the Company announced that the Company as vendor and Koffman Investment Limited (“ KIL ”) as purchaser entered into a sale and purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company as vendor agreed to sell, and KIL as purchaser agreed to purchase the entire issued share capital of Blu Spa Group Limited (“ BSG ”) at a nominal consideration of HK$1.00 payable in cash (the “ BSG Disposal ”). KIL is 50% owned by Mr. Yu Zhen Hua, Johnny, the chairman and a director of the Company, who resigned on 19 January 2015. BSG holds the entire equity interest in Blu Spa (Hong Kong) Limited, which in turn is an intermediate holding company of 7 subsidiaries (the “ BS Group ”). Blu Spa (Hong Kong) Limited is in the process of being wound up and joint liquidators have been appointed for the winding up of Blu Spa (Hong Kong) Limited. The assets and liabilities of the BS Group have not been consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Group. As at the date of the completion of the sale and purchase agreement, the BS Group was indebted to the Company in an amount of approximately HK$241.4 million, which was fully impaired in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2014. Given that the BS Group is severely insolvent, it is expected that no dividend will be distributed in respect of the equity interest in Blu Spa (Hong Kong) Limited. Such transaction constituted a connected transaction on the part of the Company under the GEM Listing Rules. As all the applicable percentage ratios under the GEM Listing Rules in respect of the BSG Disposal are less than 5% and the consideration is less than HK$3,000,000, the disposal is fully exempted from the connected transaction requirements under the GEM Listing Rules. The Group recognised a gain of approximately HK$1.4 million from the BSG Disposal. Details of the BSG Disposal were set out in the Company’s announcement dated 19 December 2014.

During the period under review, the performance of the sale of beauty products and provision of therapy services under the brand name of “Evidens de Beauté” was not satisfactory. Details were set out under the section headed “Occurrence of events that may have negative impact on the profit forecast for the 12-month period ending 30 June 2015” below.

For the period under review, the performance of China Honest has met the expectation of the management. China Honest contributed approximately HK$20.5 million to the turnover of the Group for the six months ended 31 December 2014 in which approximately HK$19.8 million and HK$0.7 million were derived from the provision of therapy services and sales of beauty products respectively. The gross profit margin for the six months ended 31 December 2014 was approximately 36.9%. The net profit for the six months ended 31 December 2014 was approximately HK$3.9 million of which, after deducting the amount of non-controlling interests, approximately HK$2.0 million was contributed to the Group’s consolidated financial results for the six months ended 31 December 2014.

Financial review

During the period under review, the Group recorded a turnover of approximately HK$22.1 million (for the year ended 30 June 2014: approximately HK$27.6 million), of which approximately HK$1.7 million (for the year ended 30 June 2014: approximately HK$16.5 million) and HK$20.4 million (for the year ended 30 June 2014: approximately HK$11.1 million) were generated from the sale of beauty products and provision of therapy services respectively.

– 27 –

China Honest, the 51% owned subsidiary, contributed approximately HK$20.5 million to the turnover of the Group, representing approximately 92.8% of the total turnover, of which approximately HK$0.7 million and HK$19.8 million were generated from the sale of beauty products and provision of therapy services respectively.

Other income of approximately HK$3.4 million (for the year ended 30 June 2014: approximately HK$4.9 million) was mainly contributed by the other interest income of approximately HK$1.6 million on overdue receivable in relation to the refundable deposits of approximately HK$39.1 million, the gain on BSG Disposal of approximately HK$1.4 million and the gain on reversal of impairment loss recognised in respect of trademark of approximately HK$0.4 million.

The gross profit margin was approximately 31.4% (for the year ended 30 June 2014: approximately 39.8%. China Honest contributed approximately HK$7.5 million to the gross profit of the Group, while the operations under the brand name of “Evidens de Beauté” recorded a gross loss of approximately HK$0.6 million.

The selling and distribution costs was approximately HK$0.9 million (for the year ended 30 June 2014: approximately HK$1.0 million). China Honest accounted for approximately 72.9% or HK$0.7 million of the total selling and distribution cost.

The administrative expenses was approximately HK$54.4 million (for the year ended 30 June 2014: approximately HK$18.4 million). The administrative expenses was mainly attributed to the impairment loss recognised in respect of other receivables in the sum of approximately HK$46.5 million. China Honest accounted for approximately 3.9% or HK$2.1 million of the total administrative expenses.

The finance costs of approximately HK$1.2 million (for the year ended 30 June 2014: approximately HK$6.7 million) was mainly attributed to (i) the loan interest expenses paid to Hong Kong Builders Finance Limited of approximately HK$0.4 million; (ii) the imputed interest arisen from the issuance of promissory notes of approximately HK$0.4 million; and (iii) the imputed interest arisen from the issuance of convertible bonds of approximately HK$0.4 million during the period under review.

The consolidated loss attributable to owners of the Company amounted to approximately HK$48.9 million for the six months ended 31 December 2014 (for the year ended 30 June 2014: HK$11.8 million). The loss attributable to owners of the Company was mainly attributed to the substantial decrease in the sale of personal care products under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté” and the impairment loss of approximately HK$46.5 million recognised in respect of other receivables.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES

At 31 December 2014, the Group had total assets of approximately HK$90.4 million (30 June 2014: approximately HK$141.9 million), including cash and cash equivalents of approximately HK$26.6 million (30 June 2014: approximately HK$30.6 million).

OCCURRENCE OF EVENTS THAT MAY HAVE NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE PROFIT FORECAST FOR THE 12-MONTH PERIOD ENDING 30 JUNE 2015

On 11 November 2014, the Company announced that due to the occurrence of certain events, it was anticipated that there may be a possible negative impact on the profit forecast for the 12-month period ending 30 June 2015 (the “ 2015 Profit Forecast ”) which was stated in the Appendix VI to the circular of the Company dated 21 March 2014 (the “ Circular ”) in relation to the acquisition of 51% equity interest in and the shareholders’ loan due by China Honest.

The 2015 Profit Forecast was made based on, amongst others, the following extracts of the basis and assumptions, which were also stated in the Appendix VI to the Circular:

  • (1). “The average growth rate on revenue of the Group would be…approximately 32.94% for the year ending 30 June 2015 as compared to year ending 30 June 2014 taking into account the retail sales derived from“Evidens de Beauté ” products in the existing two point of sales at “La Spa Evidens” and World Trade Centre at Causeway Bay, the retail sales derived from “Blu Spa” products in the point of sales at Mikiki and wholesales derived from “Evidens de Beauté ” products and “Blu Spa” products and the following new development plans of the Group:

  • a. a new shop is expected to be opened in May 2014 at Repulse Bay and a new beauty counter is expected to be opened in November 2014 at Tsimshatsui;

  • b. consignment sales and wholesales business at the shops of several renowned high fashioned brand in Hong Kong and on internet procured by the management;

  • c. new product line, “Extreme Line” of “Evidens de Beauté ” products, will be/has been launched on the global market.

Based on the above expectations, the management estimated that the gross profit ratio of the Group…further increase to approximately 48.4% in the amount of approximately HK$15.4 million for the year ending 30 June 2015.

The major expenses of the Group will be the costs of sales and advertising and promotion expenses including the advertising, event and exhibition and free products or treatment to beauty reporters for promotion etc. As new shop and new beauty counter will be opened in 2014, the management expects that the administrative expenses of the Group will be increased …for the year ending 30 June 2015 compared to the year ended 30 June 2013. The management also expects that the advertising and promotion expenses of the Group will also be increased for the year ending 30 June… 2015 as compared to that in the year ended 30 June 2013.”

  • (2). “Extraordinary items to be incurred for the year ending 30 June 2015 include (i) interest income on overdue receivable in relation to a refundable deposit of approximately HK$3.13 million; (ii) professional fees regarding resumption and debt and assets recovery professional fees of approximately HK$0.15 million; (iv) interest expenses of loan from KIL and Eternity in an aggregate amount of approximately HK$5.7 million. It is expected that provisional tax payment of the Enlarged Group for the year ending 30 June 2015 will be approximately HK$1.59 million.”

– 32 –

  • (3). “The Enlarged Group will be operated and developed as planned by the management of the Company.”

  • (4). “There will be no material changes in existing political, legal, fiscal, foreign trade or economic condition in Hong Kong, Macau and the PRC in which the Group carries on business throughout the Forecast Period and no material changes in the laws, regulations and policies in Hong Kong, Macau and the PRC which affect the business that the Enlarged Group carries on throughout the Forecast Period.”

  • (5). “There will be no disaster, natural, political or otherwise, which would materially disrupt the business or operations of the Enlarged Group or cause substantial loss, damage or destruction to its facilities throughout the Forecast Period.”

  • (6). “There will be no interruption of the Enlarged Group’s operations that will adversely affect the trading, financial and prospects of the Enlarged Group as a result of any other circumstances beyond management control.”

Due to the occurrence of the following unforeseeable events (“ Events ”), it is anticipated that there will be deviations from the above basis and assumptions:

DEVIATIONS FROM THE ABOVE BASIS AND ASSUMPTIONS (1), (3) & (6)

  • (A) The tenancy agreement for the point of sale at World Trade Centre was expired on 24 October 2014 without renewal as the Company and the landlord could not agree on the terms of the new tenancy agreement including the amount of the new rent. As a result, no revenue will be generated from this point of sales thereafter.

  • (B) No tenancy agreement for the new shop at Repulse Bay was entered into with the landlord as the Company and the landlord could not agree on the terms of the tenancy agreement especially the occupancy rate on the floor where the new shop is located. As a result, no revenue will be generated from this new shop at Repulse Bay.

  • (C) No tenancy agreement for the new beauty counter at Tsimshatsui was entered into with the landlord as the Company and the landlord could not agree on the terms of the tenancy agreement. As a result, no revenue will be generated from this new beauty counter at Tsimshatsui.

  • (D) Revenue derived from consignment basis is below expectation. The Company did not renew one of the consignment agreements with a consignee which was expired in June 2014”.

  • (E) The sale derived from the wholesales business is below expectation.

As result of the occurrence of unforeseeable events (A) to (E) above, the sale of Evidens de Beauté products, the “Extreme Line” of the Evidens de Beauté products and sales from beauty treatment under the brand name of Evidens de Beauté may be adversely affected.

DEVIATION FROM THE ABOVE BASIS AND ASSUMPTIONS (2)

  • (F) As the outstanding loans due to KIL and Eternity were respectively fully repaid by the Company before September 2014, the interest expenses to be incurred by these loans will be substantially reduced.

– 33 –

  • (G) As a result of the issue of promissory notes and convertible bonds on 11 April 2014 and 22 May 2014 respectively, imputed interest expenses will be incurred in respect of these financial instruments for the 12-month period ending 30 June 2015.

  • (H) As a result of the possible drop in revenue due to the unforeseeable events (A) to (E) above, it is anticipated that the provisional tax payment of the Enlarged Group for the 12-month period ending 30 June 2015 will be reduced.

DEVIATIONS FROM THE ABOVE BASIS AND ASSUMPTIONS (4) & (5)

  • (I) 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 in the recent quarters of 2014.

  • (J) The possible negative impact on the retail sector of Hong Kong due to the recent political event “Occupying Central” in Hong Kong.

  • (K) Due to (I) and (J), the Board has adopted a relatively conservative approach for its business operations and expansion which is deviated from the Board’s original approach when making the 2015 Profit Forecast. Such conservative approach includes (i) closing down the existing highrented retail shop in Causeway Bay (see (A) above) in order to minimize the rental expense and the administrative costs; and (ii) expanding the low-cost distribution channel by consignment sale. In June and August 2014, the Company has entered into two consignment contracts with two Independent Third Parties. The Board considers the new approach adopted by the Company will be beneficial to and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders in long run.

Taking into account of the deviations of basis and assumptions due to the Events above, the Board considers that, in overall view, there may be a possible negative impact on the 2015 Profit Forecast.

For the six months ended 31 December 2014, the Group recorded a loss after tax of the Group of approximately HK$47.04 million as compared to the forecast profit after tax of the Group of approximately HK$6.2 million in the same period as estimated in the 2015 Profit Forecast (the “ Deviation ”). The Deviation was mainly due to (i) a substantial decrease in the sale of beauty products and therapy services under the brand name of “Evidens de Beauté” for the 6-month period ended 31 December 2014; and (ii) an impairment loss of approximately HK$46.5 million recognised in respect of other receivables.

The actual revenue derived from the sale of beauty products under the brand name of “Evidens de Beauté” for the 6-month period ended 31 December 2014 was HK$1.0 million, accounting for approximately 7.9% of the forecast revenue for the same period of approximately HK$12.8 million. The actual revenue derived from the provision of the therapy services under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté” for the 6-month period ended 31 December 2014 was approximately HK$0.6 million, accounting for approximately 18.6% of the forecast revenue for the same period of approximately HK$3.3 million.

In addition, given that (i) Mr. Shum Yeung (“ Mr. Shum ”) failed to settle the judgment debt and the accrued interest in the aggregate amount of approximately HK$46.5 million under the Judgment in High Court Action No. 1775 of 2012 and commenced various legal actions to prevent the Company from recovering the judgment debt and accrued interest including a fresh legal action as announced by the Company on 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 (a) the charged shares in Mr. Shum’s companies, and (b) the charged properties as those properties were held by Mr. Shum and another individual as joint tenants and subject to mortgages and the Company did not have the

– 34 –

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 International Group Limited (“ Dutfield ”) as a guarantor to Mr. Shum to fulfill its obligations under the guarantee depended on the outcome of the legal proceedings for, inter alia, its claim for the sum of approximately HK$141.4 million under a loan agreement but Dutfield failed to obtain a summary judgment against the debtor and the outcome of the legal proceedings is uncertain, an impairment loss of approximately HK$46.5 million in respect of other receivables was recognised at the end of the reporting period.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

LITIGATION

  • (a) 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, 3 May 2013 and 12 January 2015 respectively and the sub-section headed “Litigation” in the section headed “Management Discussion and Analysis” of the annual report dated 18 September 2014 for the year ended 30 June 2014 in relation to, among other matters, the deed of termination, entered into between Blu Spa (Hong Kong) Limited (“ BSHK ”, an unconsolidated subsidiary) and Mr. Shum Yeung in relation to the termination of the acquisition of 70% equity interest of Vertical Signal Investments Limited, pursuant to which Mr. Shum Yeung 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 Action No. 1775 of 2012 by BSHK against Mr. Shum Yeung, the subsequent execution of the deed of settlement (the “ Deed of Settlement ”) by BSHK and Mr. Shum Yeung for the settlement of legal proceedings represented by the Writ, the extension to the repayment dates for Mr. Shum Yeung 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 Yeung, the repayment proposal agreed between the Company and Mr. Shum Yeung (the “ Repayment Proposal ”), the new repayment proposal agreed between the Company and Mr. Shum Yeung (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 Yeung.

As Mr. Shum Yeung defaulted to settle the outstanding amount due to the Company, the Company applied to the High Court of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (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 Yeung. On 25 July 2013, a consent order was granted by the Court of First Instance of the High Court of the Hong Kong Special

– 36 –

Administrative Region (the “ Court of First Instance ”) that, among others, the Company be granted leave to substitute BSHK as the plaintiff in the legal action against Mr. Shum Yeung. 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 of First Instance adjudged that Mr. Shum Yeung (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 Yeung’s immediate payment of the judgment debt. As Mr. Shum Yeung failed to settle the judgment debt, the Company applied to the Court of First Instance 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 Yeung made an application to the Court of First Instance 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 Yeung’s application. The application for making the Charging Orders and Garnishee Orders and Mr. Shum Yeung’s application was therefore adjourned to be heard on 5 March 2014. The application by Mr. Shum Yeung for setting aside the Summary Judgment was dismissed by the Court of First Instance on 12 January 2015. On 14 January 2015, the Court of First Instance handed down an addendum for the grant of the Charging Orders and Garnishee Orders absolute. On 26 January 2015, Mr. Shum Yeung filed a summons for an application to vary the costs order nisi granted in the judgment dated 12 January 2015. A hearing of the summons was held on 10 March 2015. On 11 March 2015, the Court of First Instance handed down a judgment dismissing the application from Mr. Shum Yeung.

  • (ii) order Yaji and the Company to forthwith and jointly pay to Yiying the outstanding utilities and miscellaneous fees from February 2012 to January 2014 in the aggregate amount of RMB2,493.60 (equivalent to approximately HK$3,100) and the interest loss until the day of actual repayment (which is in the aggregate amount of RMB304.00 (equivalent to approximately HK$400) as at 31 January 2014), totalling RMB2,797.60 (equivalent to approximately HK$3,500);

  • (ii) the company chop affixed to the Letter of Confirmation was not the one commonly used by the Company for the execution of documents;

  • (iii) the style of the signature and the handwriting of the date of execution of the alleged representative of the Company highly resembles those of Yaji on the same Letter of Confirmation;

  • (iv) the internal records of the Company do not show that the Company has executed or approved the Letter of Confirmation; and
