-
Some of the Subscribers (being parties acting in concert with Xing Hang) are/will be regarded as public EDS Shareholders upon Completion and/or full conversion of the Preferred Shares. Accordingly, there are overlaps between the public EDS Shareholders and Xing Hang and parties acting in concert with it and therefore the aggregate of the percentage shareholding of public EDS Shareholders and the percentage shareholding of Xing Hang and parties acting in concert with it add up to over 100%.
-
This scenario is shown for illustrative purposes only. Conversion of any Preferred Shares will be limited by EDS being able to comply with the minimum public float requirements under the GEM Listing Rules immediately after conversion of the Preferred Shares.
INFORMATION ON XING HANG
Please refer to the letter from Kingston Securities contained in this Composite Document for further information on Xing Hang.
INTENTION OF XING HANG REGARDING THE EDS GROUP
Your attention is drawn to the letter from Kingston Securities contained in this Composite Document which sets out the intention of Xing Hang regarding the business of the EDS Group. The EDS Board is aware of Xing Hang’s intention in respect of the EDS Group and is willing to co-operate with Xing Hang which is in the interests of EDS and the EDS Shareholders as a whole.
MAINTAINING THE LISTING STATUS OF EDS
The Stock Exchange has stated that if, at the close of the Offer, less than the minimum prescribed percentage applicable to EDS, being 25% of the number of Ordinary EDS Shares in issue, are held by the public at all time, or if the Stock Exchange believes that:
-
(a) a false market exists or may exist in the trading of the Ordinary EDS Shares; or
-
(b) there are insufficient Ordinary EDS Shares in public hands to maintain an orderly market,
then, it will consider exercising its discretion to suspend dealings in the Ordinary EDS Shares.
As set out in the letter from Kingston Securities, Xing Hang intends EDS to remain listed on GEM of the Stock Exchange after the Closing Date. Xing Hang does not intend to exercise its right which may be available to it to compulsorily acquire the remaining Ordinary EDS Shares after the close of the Offer. The sole director of Xing Hang and new directors to be nominated by Xing Hang and appointed as EDS Directors will jointly and severally undertake to the Stock Exchange that they will take appropriate steps as soon as possible following the closing of the Offer to ensure that sufficient public float exists for the Ordinary EDS Shares.

The consolidated loss attributable to owners of the company decreased from approximately HK$23.6 million for the year ended 30 June 2013 to approximately HK$11.8 million for the year ended 30 June 2014, representing a decrease of approximately 50.0%. The improvement in the EDS Group’s results was mainly due to the contribution from China Honest Enterprises Limited (“ China Honest ”), the newly acquired 51% owned subsidiary of the Company during the year ended 30 June 2014, which improved the EDS Group’s results from a gross loss margin to gross profit margin.

For the six months ended 31 December 2014, the EDS Group recorded turnover of approximately HK$22.1 million compared to approximately HK$27.6 million for the twelve months ended 30 June 2014. China Honest contributed approximately HK$20.5 million to the turnover of the EDS 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. As it was unclear that whether and when the EDS Group would be able to receive judgment debt and accrued interest of an aggregate amount of HK$46.5 million due, an impairment loss of HK$46.5 million in respect of such other receivables was recognised in the audited financial results of the Group for the six months ended 31 December 2014.
China Honest became a 51% subsidiary of the Company and the financial results thereof were consolidated into the financial results of the EDS Group. As a result of the acquisition, the EDS Group was able to consolidate China Honest’s financial results which has been the principal reason for the EDS Group experiencing an improvement in its turnover, gross profit margin and net loss position in respective financial periods. Without the acquisition of China Honest, the Directors believe that the turnover, gross profit margin and net loss position would not have improved.
Moreover, to analyse the Group’s turnover and gross profit margin on an identical basis, the period before the completion of the acquisition should not be accounted for. For the six consecutive quarters starting from 1 April 2014, there were little or no growth in the Group’s turnover and gross profit margin in respective periods.
The EDS Group recorded a gross profit of approximately HK$6.9 million for the six months ended 31 December 2014, which represented a gross profit margin of approximately 31.4%.
For the twelve months ended 30 June 2014, the EDS Group recorded a gross profit of approximately HK$11.0 million, which represented a gross profit margin of approximately 39.8%. The decrease in gross profit margin was mainly a result of the operations under the “Evidens de Beauté” brand which recorded a gross loss of approximately HK$0.6 million.
We further note that the EDS Group changed its financial year end from 30 June to 31 December in 2014. Therefore, there are no comparable financial results for the six months ended 31 December 2014.

The EDS Group recorded turnover of approximately HK$32.4 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2015, representing an increase of approximately 7.9% from approximately HK$30.0 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2014. Approximately HK$3.2 million and HK$29.2 million was generated from the sale of beauty products and the provision of therapy services, respectively. For the nine months ended 30 September 2015, EDS recorded a consolidated loss attributable to owners of the company of approximately HK$19.0 million, representing an increase from approximately HK$11.3 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2014. Such change in the results was mainly contributed by (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 (as defined below) since April 2015. On 13 April 2015, the Group set up a wholly-foreign-owned enterprise (the “ WFOE ”) in Shenzhen, the PRC for the development of a new inflight WLAN and WIFI engineering and service business (the “ New Business ”). As at 30 September 2015, the WFOE had 50 employees and incurred approximately HK$6.9 million in staff costs for the nine months ended 30 September 2015. No staff costs from the WFOE were incurred by the Group in the corresponding period in 2014.

As set out in the interim report for the six months ended 30 June 2015 (the “ 2015 Interim Report ”) of the EDS Group, 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 EDS Directors are of the view that there will be little or no growth in the Group’s sale of beauty products and provision of therapy services in 2015. Based on such data and the difficult conditions in the retail sector in Hong Kong, we concur with such views.
iii. Historical financial position of the EDS Group
Set out below is a summary of the EDS Group’s consolidated statements of financial position as extracted from the 2015 Interim Report:
| As at 31 | As at | |
|---|---|---|
| December | 30 June | |
| 2014 | 2015 | |
| HK$’000 | HK$’000 | |
| (Audited) | (Unaudited) | |
| Total assets | 90,366 | 157,088 |
| Total liabilities | 41,310 | 115,475 |
| Total equity | 49,056 | 41,613 |
During the year ended 30 June 2014 and six-month period ended 31 December 2014, the EDS Group financed its operations with internally generated cash flows, proceeds from the issuance of new shares of EDS by way of open offer and placing and the issuance of convertible bonds. The EDS Group issued HK$40.0 million of convertible bonds (the “ Convertible Bonds ”) on 22 May 2014 which are interest-free and convertible into 40,000,000 Ordinary EDS Shares at a conversion price of HK$1.00 per share at any time up to the maturity date on 22 November 2016. By 30 September 2014, all Convertible Bonds had been converted into 40,000,000 Ordinary EDS Shares. On 11 August 2014, EDS allotted and issued 19,061,000 new Ordinary EDS Shares at a subscription price of HK$3.00 per Ordinary EDS Shares by way of open

LETTER FROM INVESTEC
offer (the “ Open Offer ”), raising approximately HK$54.0 million (net of expenses). All net proceeds were used to repay a loan due to Hong Kong Builders Finance Limited. On 28 August 2014, EDS allotted and issued 2,620,000 new Ordinary EDS Shares at a price of HK$3.15 per Ordinary EDS Shares by way of placing (the “ Placing ”), raising approximately HK$7.86 million (net of expenses), of which approximately HK$7.54 million was used to repay a loan due to Hong Kong Builders Finance Limited. As at 30 June 2015, the remaining net proceeds of HK$0.32 million had been fully utilised as general working capital of the EDS Group.
As set out in the 2015 Interim Report, the total borrowings and other financial liabilities of the EDS Group decreased from approximately HK$10.4 million as at 31 December 2014 to approximately HK$10.3 million as at 30 June 2015. Total borrowings and other financial liabilities of the EDS Group constituted:
-
(i) a loan of HK$7.5 million granted by the Lender which is interest bearing at 10.0% per annum, is unsecured and matures on 10 June 2016;
-
(ii) a loan of approximately HK$2.6 million advanced by Koffman Investment Limited, a company which is 50% owned by Mr. Yu Zhen Hua, Johnny (the former chairman of the EDS Board), which is interest bearing at 5.00% per annum, is unsecured and matures on 25 August 2015; and
-
(iii) the obligations under finance leases of approximately HK$0.2 million of which (a) HK$145,000 is interest bearing at 3.00% per annum and secured by a guarantee from the Hong Kong Government, a joint and several guarantee from a director of a subsidiary and an independent third party and the EDS Group’s title to the leased assets, and (b) HK$15,000 is non-interest bearing and secured by the EDS Group’s title to the leased assets.
As at 30 June 2015, the EDS Group had total assets of approximately HK$157.1 million including cash and cash equivalents of approximately HK$93.6 million, which increased from approximately HK$90.4 million and HK$26.6 million, respectively, as at 31 December 2015.

LETTER FROM INVESTEC
The total equity of EDS decreased from approximately HK$49.1 million as at 31 December 2014 to approximately HK$41.6 million as at 30 June 2015, which was mainly due to the loss incurred for the six months ended 30 June 2015.
2. Prospects of the EDS Group
As mentioned in the 2014 Annual Report, the management of EDS noted detrimental factors affecting the local retail market in Hong Kong, including the slowdown of the growth of Mainland visitors to Hong Kong and the weakening of Mainland tourists’ spending powers. As detailed in the announcement of the Census & Statistics Department of the Hong Kong Government in August 2015, the total retail sales value in August 2015 fell 5.4% year-on-year to a provisionally estimated HK$37.9 billion. When analysed by type of retail outlet, medicines and cosmetics decreased by approximately 5.1% over the same period. Furthermore, for the first eight months of 2015 taken together, the value of total retail sales decreased by 2.2% year-on-year, while the value of total medicine and cosmetics retail sales decreased by 0.6% over the same period., As a result thereof, management does not expect any growth in the EDS Group’s sale of beauty products and provision of therapy services in the coming year. With a view to improving its profitability, EDS entered into a conditional subscription agreement with six investors (the “ Subscribers ”).
As set out in the letter from the EDS Board in the circular dated 7 October 2015, the EDS Directors are of the view that the Subscription represents a valuable opportunity for the EDS Group to bring in the Subscribers as strategic investors. The Subscribers (in particular the background of Mr. Cai Zhaoyang, who is the majority shareholder and the sole director of Xing Hang) have extensive experience, strong expertise and a wide business network in the avionic engineering and service business industry in the PRC. The EDS Directors consider, and we concur, that the entering into of the Subscription Agreement represents a good opportunity for the EDS Group to (i) raise a substantial amount of additional funds, which provides the EDS Group with the financial flexibility necessary for future business development in the provision of in-flight WLAN and WIFI engineering and service business in the PRC in parallel to its existing business; (ii) improve its financial position and liquidity; and (iii) leverage the expertise and business network of Mr. Cai Zhaoyang to take advantage of the expected strong growth in the avionic engineering and service business sector in the PRC.

LETTER FROM INVESTEC
After further discussions with the Company, we understand that as at the Latest Practicable Date, there are two qualifications that are required to provide the New Business, namely Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) and a repair license. The company submitted the prerequisite assessment (together with supporting documentation) for the PMA on 3 June 2015 and the assessment was accepted by CAAC for review on 2 July 2015, however, Management has confirmed this does not constitute an official submission. As of yet, the company is yet made any submission (prerequisite assessment or official) for a repair license. The formal application for either has yet to be submitted but we understand from Management that it typically takes approximately 12 to 18 months to obtain approval from the CAAC.
The in-flight WIFI service business in the PRC is still at the start-up stage. After discussing with Management we understand, there are overseas service providers such as Gogo Inc., Global Eagle Entertainment Inc., Panasonic Avionics Corporation and domestic companies in the process of developing inflight WLAN or WIFI services in the PRC. Furthermore, we understand from Management that state-owned Chinese airlines have started in-flight WIFI service trials and such in-flight WLAN and WIFI services are being gradually adopted commercially.
As set out in the letter from the EDS Board in the circular dated 7 October 2015, pursuant to the Administrative Regulations on Internet Audio/Video Program Services jointly issued by the then State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (“ SARFT ”) and MII and effective as of 31 January 2008, online transmission of audio and video programs requires an Internet Audio/Video Program Transmission License and online audio/video service providers must be state-owned enterprises. To comply with the relevant laws and regulations on foreign investments, the EDS Group will enter into a series of contractual arrangements with a PRC domestic company to operate the business.
We understand that although the use of in-flight WLAN and WIFI services on the whole is still at an early stage and is hindered to some extent by regulatory approvals, data transfer speeds and costs, it is believed that the take up will increase as more airlines install in-flight WIFI, more routes offer in-flight WIFI, data transfer speeds increase and the costs of usage decline. Given the current plans of airlines, globally as well as by two of the PRC’s leading airlines, to install and introduce WIFI on their commercial flights, we believe that the New Business may have significant growth in the future. However, we understand from management that the EDS Group has only entered into discussions with certain airlines but has not signed any agreements. However, the EDS Group is in advanced discussions with one target airline in the PRC for the installation of In-flight WLAN and WIFI Equipment and the provision of the services.

LETTER FROM INVESTEC
The provision of in-flight WLAN and WIFI services by the EDS Group is a new business and is still under development. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the EDS Group has not entered into any contracts with airlines in respect of such new business. As a result, there is no guarantee that the New Business will be marketable or successful. Depending on the mode of cooperation between the EDS Group and airline companies, the EDS Group may or may not charge the airline companies for the provision of WLAN or WIFI equipment to them but may earn/share any income from passengers using the WLAN or WIFI services on the airplanes which use the EDS Group’s inflight technology and connectivity solutions. Therefore, at the initial stage of development, net cash outflows in the form of purchase of the WLAN and WIFI equipment and payment of the related installation services may be recorded before receipt of payments from passengers who use the EDS Group’s in-flight WLAN or WIFI System. Such net cash outflows may burden the EDS Group’s working capital and financial condition. As such, given the risks inherent in new business lines and the financial outlay which may still be required, we believe the New Business carries uncertainty and risk which is a consideration for Shareholders. Moreover, considering the uncertainty and risk associated with the New Business, we believe that Shareholders may consider the Offer to be an attractive opportunity to exit the EDS Group.
3. Intention of the Offeror and proposed change of EDS Board
As set out in the Circular, to the best of the EDS Directors’ information, knowledge and belief after due enquiry with Xing Hang, Xing Hang, together with the other Subscribers, intends to assist the EDS Group to develop the New Business. As at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the possible sale and purchase of the In-flight WLAN and WIFI Equipment from Donica under the Master Supply Agreement, which is a revenue transaction necessary for the development of the New Business and the intention of Mr. Cai Zhaoyang in helping the EDS Group to obtain the Qualifications and other than in the ordinary course of the EDS Group’s business which is considered by the EDS Directors to be necessary in the course of carrying out its principal activities, the Subscribers have not entered into any agreement, arrangements, understandings or negotiations in relation to the continued employment of the employees, disposal and/or redeployment of the assets (including the fixed assets) of the EDS Group, nor do the Subscribers have any intention to terminate or scale down any of the EDS Group’s business.
As set out in the Letter from the EDS Board, the EDS Board is currently made up of five EDS Directors, comprising two executive EDS Directors, namely Mr. Chan Kin Wah, Billy and Mr. Lee Chan Wah; and three independent nonexecutive EDS Directors, namely Mr. Tam B Ray, Billy, Mr. Chu Kin Wang, Peleus and Mr. Tse Joseph.

LETTER FROM INVESTEC
During the Review Period, the closing price of the Ordinary EDS Shares fluctuated between the range from HK$2.09 to HK$15.00. From 10 Novemer 2014 to 19 January 2015, the closing price of the Ordinary EDS Shares fluctuated between the range from HK$2.09 to HK$4.23. The closing price of the Ordinary EDS Shares decreased gradually from a closing price of HK3.25 on 13 November 2014 to a low of HK$2.09 on 7 January 2015. The closing price then increased to HK$4.23 on 19 January 2015. Trading in the Ordinary EDS Shares was then halted at the request of management pending the release of an announcement regarding inside information pursuant to the Takeovers Code (the “ Trading Halt Announcement ”). Trading resumed on 22 January 2015. The closing price of the Ordinary EDS Shares continued to be volatile and traded between HK$3.90 and HK$6.20 until a further halt in trading on 16 February 2015. At the request of management, trading in the Ordinary EDS Shares was halted once again, pending the release of a further announcement regarding inside information pursuant to the Takeovers Code (the “ Second Trading Halt Announcement ”). On 15 April 2015, EDS released the Joint Announcement which indicated that trading in the Ordinary EDS Shares would resume on 16 April 2015. Following the resumption of trading in the Ordinary EDS Shares, the closing price reached the highest closing price of HK$15.00 on 2 June 2015 and then the closing price of the Ordinary EDS Shares fluctuated between a range of HK14.98 to HK$5.00 during the period from 17 April 2015 to 18 November 2015. As at 18 November 2015, the Ordinary EDS Shares had decreased to HK$7.50.
As shown in the chart above, the closing prices of the Ordinary EDS Shares were predominantly below the Offer Price during the period from 10 November 2014 to 19 January 2015, being the date of the first trading halt. At such time the price of Ordinary EDS Shares remained undisturbed by the information contained in the resumption of trading announcement which was issued on the 21 January 2015. Following the first trading halt and up to the Latest Practicable Date, the closing prices of the Ordinary EDS Shares were above the Offer Price. During the Review Period, the highest closing price and the lowest closing price of the Ordinary EDS Shares was HK$15.00 on 2 June 2015 and HK$2.09 on 6 to 8 January 2015, respectively and the average closing price of the Ordinary EDS Shares during the Review Period (the “ Average Ordinary EDS Share Price ”) was approximately HK$6.56. The average closing price of the Ordinary EDS Shares during the Review Period prior to the Trading Halt Announcement was approximately HK$2.63 (the “ Average Ordinary EDS Share Price Pre-Trading Halt Announcement ”) .

The Offer Price represents (i) a discount of approximately 72.9% to the highest closing price of the Ordinary EDS Shares during the Review Period; (ii) a premium of approximately 94.7% to the lowest closing price of the Ordinary EDS Shares during the Review Period; (iii) a discount of approximately 38.0% to the Average Ordinary EDS Share Price; (iv) a premium of approximately 54.6% to the Average Ordinary EDS Share Price Pre-Trading Halt Announcement; and (vi) a discount of approximately 45.7% to the closing price of the Ordinary EDS Share as at the Latest Practicable Date.
Since the Trading Halt Announcement the share price of Ordinary EDS Shares has increased substantially and remained inflated. Having considered, among other factors, that the Offer Price represents (i) a premium of approximately 54.6% to the Average Ordinary EDS Share Price Pre-Trading Halt Announcement; and (ii) a premium of approximately 723.9% over the net assets per Ordinary EDS Share of approximately HK$0.49 (based on the audited net assets attributable to owners of EDS of approximately HK$36,954,000 as at 30 June 2015 and 74,803,000 Ordinary EDS Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date), we consider the Offer Price to be fair and reasonable.
The following table sets out the monthly total trading volume, the number of trading days in each month, the highest, lowest and average daily number of Ordinary EDS Shares traded in each month and the percentage of average daily trading volume of Ordinary EDS Shares as compared to the total number of Ordinary EDS Shares in issue during the Review Period:

LETTER FROM INVESTEC
As illustrated above, from 18 November 2014 until the Second Trading Halt Announcement, the average daily trading volume of the Ordinary EDS Shares as a percentage of the total number of the Ordinary EDS Shares in issue ranged from approximately 0.05% to 0.27%. As such, we note that prior to the Joint Announcement the liquidity of the Ordinary EDS Shares was generally thin during the Review Period. Since the Second Trading Halt Announcement until the Latest Practicable Date, the average daily trading volume of the Ordinary EDS Shares as a percentage of the total number of the Ordinary EDS Shares in issue ranged from approximately 0.02% to 0.55%. As such, we note that since the Joint Announcement and up until the Latest Practicable Date, the liquidity of the Ordinary EDS Shares has improved slightly but remained generally thin.
ii. Comparison with comparable companies
In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Offer Price, we have considered using the price-to-earnings ratio (the “ P/E ratio(s) ”) and the price-to-book ratios (the “ P/B ratio(s) ”) of companies which are listed on the Main Board or the GEM of the Stock Exchange and which are engaged in similar businesses to those of the EDS Group for comparison purposes.
However, based on Appendix I to this Composite Document, the EDS Group recorded loss attributable to owners of the company of approximately HK$48.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 and approximately HK$7.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2015. Furthermore, the Company has been loss making for five consecutive years/periods. As a result we are unable to value the company on a more typical P/E basis. As such, we do not consider any comparison of EDS’s P/E ratio against the P/E ratios of other beauty product retailers and therapy service providers to be meaningful.
Moreover, the EDS Group has conducted a series of fundraising activities over the past two years, including the Convertible Bonds, Open Offer and Placing (the “ Fundraising Activities ”), in order to improve its net asset value. However, such activities would typically not be a sustainable solution. As such, we consider the current asset value the only relevant metric to value the EDS Group. The EDS Group recorded net assets attributable to owners of EDS of approximately HK$45.3 million as at 31 December 2014 and net assets per Ordinary EDS Share of approximately HK$0.61.

LETTER FROM INVESTEC
For the purpose of our comparable analysis, we have identified the following companies as relevant comparables to EDS based on the following criteria: (i) listed on the Main Board or the GEM of the Stock Exchange and engaging in businesses similar to those of the EDS Group; (ii) revenue generated from beauty and healthcare products and/or therapy services over 25% of its total revenue; (iii) revenue primarily generated in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China; and (iv) with a market capitalisation of less than HK$1.0 billion. Based on the aforementioned criteria, we have identified, to the best of our knowledge, an exhaustive list of five comparable companies (the “ Comparable Companies ”). As the Company is loss making, we consider the P/B ratio as the most appropriate means of comparison. Furthermore, we believe there are no other market-orientated valuation ratios which are commonly accepted within the market. Moreover, due to the nature of the EDS Group’s business and as most of the Comparable Companies are profit making, we consider the P/B ratio may not be a fair representation of the market’s valuation, nonetheless, we present the following analysis for the benefit of the Shareholders.

LETTER FROM INVESTEC
As shown in the above table, the historical P/B ratio of the Comparable Companies ranged from approximately 0.44 to 5.45, with an average of approximately 2.11. The P/B ratio for the Share Offer is calculated based the Offer Price for each Ordinary EDS Share over net assets per Ordinary EDS Share of approximately HK$0.61, being approximately 6.72, respectively. This is higher than the P/B Ratios of all of the Comparable Companies.
In spite of all the Fundraising Activities which the EDS Group has conducted over the past two years, the EDS Group has still been unable to improve its financial position. As such, we consider net asset value as the most appropriate measure of valuation of the EDS Group. Furthermore, we believe that Shareholders are most likely aware of the Fundraising Activities and may consider that the Offer provides them with the opportunity to exit the EDS Group at a significant premium to net asset value to be an attractive option. Moreover, we believe, companies which have made significant losses would typically trade closer to their net asset value.
Although the Offer Price represents (i) a discount of approximately 34.35% to the closing price of HK$6.20 per Ordinary EDS Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day; (ii) a discount of approximately 16.94% to the closing price of HK$4.90 per Ordinary EDS Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Full Trading Day; and (iii) a discount of approximately 45.7% to the closing price of HK$7.50 per Ordinary EDS Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date, we also note that (a) the Offer Price represents a premium of approximately 567.21% over the net assets per Ordinary EDS Share of approximately HK$0.61; (b) a premium of approximately 723.9% over the net assets per Ordinary EDS Share of approximately HK$0.49 (based on the unaudited net assets attributable to owners of EDS of approximately HK$36,954,000 as at 30 June 2015 and 74,803,000 Ordinary EDS Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date); and (c) the P/B ratio for the Share Offer is higher than the P/B Ratios of all of the Comparable Companies. Based on EDS’s current financial position and our above analysis with other Comparable Companies, there is no guarantee that the current market price of the Ordinary EDS Shares will sustain and will be higher than the Offer Price during and after the period for the acceptance of the Offer, thus, we are of the view that the Offer Price is fair and reasonable.

LETTER FROM INVESTEC
F. RECOMMENDATION
Having considered the factors and reasons set out in this letter, in particular,
-
as discussed in the paragraphs namely “(ii) Historical financial performance of the EDS Group” under the section headed “1. Information on the EDS Group” above, the EDS Group was loss-making for the nine months ended 30 September 2015, the six month financial period ended 31 December 2014 and for each of the three years ended 30 June 2012, 2013 and 2014 and, as discussed in detail under section headed “2. Prospects of the EDS Group” above, there is no guarantee that the EDS Group could improve its financial performance in the near future;
-
the Offer Price represents a significant premium to net asset value per share, as disclosed under the section headed “D. Principal terms of the Offer” above;
-
the New Business carries significant uncertainty as it has no track record;
-
the Offer Price represents a premium of approximately 54.6% over the Average Ordinary EDS Share Price during the Review Period up until the Pre-Trading Halt Announcement; and
-
the average daily trading volume of the Ordinary EDS Shares has been thin in general during the Pre-Trading Halt Announcement period and the Independent EDS Shareholders may find it difficult to dispose of a significant number of Ordinary EDS Shares in the open market without causing an adverse impact on the market price level of the Ordinary EDS Shares. The Offer, therefore, represents an opportunity for the Independent EDS Shareholders to dispose of their entire holdings at the Offer Price of HK$4.07 each,
we consider the terms of the Offer to be fair and reasonable so far as the Independent EDS Shareholders are concerned. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent EDS Shareholders to accept the Offer.
The Independent EDS Shareholders, in particular those who intend to accept the Offer, are reminded to note the recent fluctuation in the price of the Ordinary EDS Shares. There is no guarantee that the current market price of the Ordinary EDS Shares will or will not sustain and will or will not be higher than the Offer Price during and after the period for the acceptance of the Offer. The Independent EDS

LETTER FROM INVESTEC
Shareholders who intend to accept the Share Offer are reminded to closely monitor the market price and the liquidity of the Ordinary EDS Shares during the period for the acceptance of the Offer and shall, having regard to their own circumstances and investment objectives, consider selling their Ordinary EDS Shares in the open market, instead of accepting the Offer, if the net proceeds from the sale of such Ordinary EDS Shares would be higher than that receivable under the Offer.
The Independent EDS Shareholders are also reminded that their decisions to dispose of or hold their investment in the Ordinary EDS Shares are subject to their individual circumstances and investment objectives. The Independent Shareholders should read carefully the procedures for accepting the Offer as detailed in the Composite Document, the appendices to the Composite Document and the form of acceptance, if they wish to accept the Offer.
Yours faithfully For and on behalf of Investec Capital Asia Limited Alexander Tai Managing Director

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
AUDIT OPINION
The auditors issued disclaimer opinions in respect of the financial results of the EDS Group for each of the three years ended 30 June 2012, 2013 and 2014 and a qualified opinion in respect of the financial results of the EDS Group for the six months ended 31 December 2014. The financial results of the EDS Group for the nine months ended 30 September 2015 were not audited by the auditors. Set out below are the disclaimer opinions and qualified opinion and their corresponding basis based on the relevant annual reports of EDS. Capitalized terms used below have the same meanings as defined in the related annual reports of EDS.
For the year ended 30 June 2012
Basis for disclaimer of opinion
(1) Opening balances and corresponding figures
The audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2011 (the “ 2011 Financial Statements ”), which forms the basis for the corresponding figures presented in the current year’s consolidated financial statements, was disclaimed because of the significance of the possible effect of the limitation on the scope of the audit and the material uncertainty in relation to going concern, details of which are set out in the independent auditors’ report dated 8 June 2012. Accordingly, the auditors were unable to form an opinion as to whether the 2011 Financial Statements gave a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and of the Company at 30 June 2011 and of the Group’s results and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards.
(2) Scope limitation – Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries
The directors of the Company are unable to obtain complete books and records of Blu Spa (Hong Kong) Limited (the “ BSHK ”) and its subsidiaries (the “ BSHK Group ”), Clapton Holdings Limited, Blu Spa International Limited and Blu Spa Management Services Limited (collectively referred to as the “ Unconsolidated Subsidiaries ”). Due to lack of complete books and records of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries, the financial statements of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries have not been consolidated into the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2012.
— II-3 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
The resulting gain on de-consolidation of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries of approximately HK$155,547,000 has been recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2012.
Whilst the directors of the Company consider that the exclusion of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries is the best way of presenting the Group’s financial position, results and cash flows at and for the year ended 30 June 2012 under these circumstances, the exclusion of the financial position, results and cash flows of these Unconsolidated Subsidiaries in the consolidated financial statements is a departure from the requirements of Hong Kong Accounting Standard 27 (Revised) “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”.
Due to lack of complete books and records of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence and explanations to determine whether the carrying values of the investments in the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries and the resulting gain on de-consolidation of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries were fairly stated. Any adjustments that might have been found to be necessary would have a consequential significant effect on the net assets of the Group at 30 June 2012 and the loss and cash flows of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2012.
(3) Scope of limitation – Balances with the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries
The Group recorded amounts due from and amounts due to the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries of approximately HK$288,303,000 and HK$6,246,000 respectively at 30 June 2012. The Company also recorded amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries of approximately HK$285,268,000 at 30 June 2012 (collectively referred as to the “ Balances with the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries ”). The directors of the Company are of the view that the carrying values of certain amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries to the Group and the Company are not recoverable and recognised impairment losses of approximately HK$240,593,000 and HK$74,291,000 for the year ended 30 June 2012 respectively.
Due to lack of complete books and records of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries, the auditors have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine whether the Balances with the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries and the impairment losses recognised on the amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries to the Group and the Company are fairly stated. Any adjustments

APPENDIX II
that might have been found to be necessary would have a consequential significant effect on the net assets of the Group and the Company at 30 June 2012 and the loss of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2012.
(4) Material uncertainty relating to the Investigation
The Company made an announcement on 18 July 2012 in respect of the appointment of an independent professional firm to conduct a forensic investigation to address (i) all the issues raised by the predecessor auditors in their resignation letter dated 7 March 2012; and (ii) all the issues raised in our independent auditors’ report dated 8 June 2012 on the 2011 Financial Statements (the “ Investigation ”). Up to the date of this report, the board of directors of the Company is still in the midst of considering the findings of the Investigation. Accordingly, there were no practical audit procedures that the auditors could perform to ascertain the completeness, validity and accuracy of the transactions asserted to have been undertaken by the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries. Any adjustments or disclosures that might have been found to be necessary would have a consequential significant effect on the accounting treatments adopted by the Group in respect of those transactions, the opening balances and prior period corresponding amounts and the related disclosures thereof in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
(5) Material uncertainties relating to the going concern basis
The Group incurred a loss attributable to the owners of the Company of approximately HK$100,389,000 for the year ended 30 June 2012, which indicates the existence of a material uncertainty and may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of the going concern assumption on which the consolidated financial statements are prepared is dependent on the favorable outcomes of (i) the repayment of the amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries of approximately HK$47,710,000; and (ii) the extension of repayment of loan facility of approximately HK$19,586,000 granted by a company owned by an executive director (the “ Proposed Plans ”).
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from a failure to attain favourable results of the Proposed Plans.
— II-5 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
Should the going concern assumption be inappropriate, adjustments may have to be made to reflect the situation that assets may need to be realised at other than the amounts at which they are currently recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position. In addition, the Group may have to provide for further liabilities that might arise, and to reclassify non-current assets as current assets. The auditors consider that appropriate disclosures have been made in the consolidated financial statements. However, in view of the extent of the uncertainty relating to the outcomes of the Proposed Plans, the auditors disclaim their opinion in respect of the material uncertainty relating to the going concern.
Disclaimer of opinion
Because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion paragraphs, the auditors have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion. Accordingly, the auditors do not express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as to whether they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the Group at 30 June 2012 and of the Group’s loss and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and as to whether the consolidated financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
For the year ended 30 June 2013
Basis for disclaimer of opinion
(1) Investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries
The directors of the Company are unable to obtain complete books and records of Blu Spa (Hong Kong) Limited (“ BSHK ”) and its subsidiaries (the “ BSHK Group ”), Blu Spa International Limited and Blu Spa Management Services Limited (together, the “ Unconsolidated Subsidiaries ”) for the year ended 30 June 2013. Due to lack of complete books and records of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries, the financial statements of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries have not been consolidated into the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2013.
— II-6 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
Furthermore, the Company made an announcement dated 19 February 2013 that written resolutions were passed by the sole director of BSHK, among other things, to voluntarily wind-up BSHK. The notice of appointment of joint and several liquidators were published on the government gazette on 26 February 2013. The Company also made an 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 in the BSHK Group.
Whilst the directors of the Company consider that the exclusion of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries is the best way of presenting the Group’s financial position, results and cash flows at and for the year ended 30 June 2013 under these circumstances, the exclusion of the financial position, results and cash flows of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries in the consolidated financial statements is a departure from the requirements of Hong Kong Accounting Standard 27 (Revised) “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”. Had the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries been consolidated, many elements in the consolidated financial statements would have been materially affected.
Due to lack of complete books and records of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries mentioned above, we are unable to ascertain the impact of the potential irregularities with respect to the accounting records and transactions of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries, if any, and the de-consolidation of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries on the consolidated financial statements. The auditors have also not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence and explanations to determine whether the carrying amounts of the investments in the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries were free from material misstatements. Any adjustments that might have been found to be necessary would have a consequential significant effect on the net assets of the Group at 30 June 2013 and the loss and cash flows of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2013.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
(2) Balances with the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries
The Group and the Company had a total amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries of approximately HK$241,847,000 and HK$238,883,000 respectively at 30 June 2013 of which accumulated impairment losses of approximately HK$240,593,000 and HK$237,641,000 were recognised in the previous years. The directors of the Company are of the view that the carrying amounts of these amounts were not recoverable and impairment loss of approximately HK$1,254,000 was recognised for the year ended 30 June 2013. In addition, the Group recorded amounts due to the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries of approximately HK$1,309,000 at 30 June 2013.
Due to lack of complete books and records of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries, the auditors have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine whether the amounts due from and due to the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries (together, the “ Balances with the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries ”) and the impairment losses recognised on the amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries to the Group and the Company are free from material misstatements. Any adjustments that might have been found to be necessary would have a consequential significant effect on the net assets of the Group and the Company at 30 June 2013 and the loss of the Group and the Company for the year ended 30 June 2013.
(3) Other receivable
Included in “Deposits, prepayments and other receivables” in the consolidated and the Company statement of financial position at 30 June 2013 was other receivable of approximately HK$40,207,000 (the “ Other Receivable ”) due from a debtor (the “ Debtor ”). The Debtor has defaulted the repayment of the Other Receivable and the Company has taken legal actions against the Debtor. Up to the date of this report, no settlement of the Other Receivable was made by the Debtor. No impairment loss was recognised for the Other Receivable for the year ended 30 June 2013. The auditors were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding to the valuation of the Other Receivable and there were no alternative audit procedures that the auditors could perform to satisfy ourselves as to whether the Other Receivable was free from material misstatement. Any adjustments that might have been found to be necessary would have a consequential significant effect on the net assets of the Group and the Company at 30 June 2013 and the loss of the Group and the Company for the year ended 30 June 2013.

APPENDIX II
- (4) Impairment loss of investment costs and balances due from the subsidiaries other than the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries
The Company’s interests in subsidiaries at 30 June 2013 comprised of investments at cost of approximately HK$3,000 and amounts due from subsidiaries (other than the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries) of approximately HK$28,177,000. No impairment losses were recognised for such balances for the year ended 30 June 2013. The auditors were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding to the valuation of such balances and there were no alternative audit procedures that we could perform to satisfy ourselves as to whether such balances were free from material misstatement. Any adjustments that might have been found to be necessary would have a consequential significant effect on the net assets of the Company at 30 June 2013 and the loss of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2013.
(5) Opening balances and corresponding figures
The opening balances and corresponding figures disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are based on the audited financial statements of the Group and the Company for the year ended 30 June 2012 in respect of which our audit opinion dated 6 December 2012 expressed a disclaimer opinion. The matters which resulted in that the disclaimer opinion included (1) opening balances and corresponding figures, (2) investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries, (3) balances with the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries, (4) material uncertainty relating to the Investigation and (5) material uncertainties relating to the going concern basis. Therefore, the opening balances and corresponding figures shown may not be comparable and any adjustments to the opening balances at 1 July 2012 would have consequential effect on the loss for the year ended 30 June 2013 and/or the net assets of the Group and the Company at 30 June 2013.
(6) Going concern basis of accounting
The Group incurred net loss of approximately HK$23,568,000 during the year ended 30 June 2013 and the Group and the Company recorded a net current liabilities amounted approximately HK$6,263,000 and HK$8,473,000 respectively at 30 June 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.
— II-9 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The validity of the going concern assumption on which the consolidated financial statements are prepared is dependent on the favorable outcomes of (i) the repayment of the Other Receivable of HK$40,207,000 of which details were set out in the note 22(c) to the consolidated financial statements; (ii) the extension of repayment of loan facility of approximately HK$42,400,000 granted by a company owned by an executive director of which details were set out in the Company’s announcement dated 30 August 2013; (iii) the completion of the conditional subscription agreement, in which was under certain conditions as further explained in note 2, in respect of the issue of convertible bonds in the principal amount of HK$40,000,000 of which details were set out in the Company’s announcements dated 21 March 2013, 11 April 2013, 25 April 2013, 9 May 2013, 24 May 2013, 11 June 2013 and the Company’s circular dated 23 May 2013 and (iv) the completion of the conditional unsecured loan agreement, in which was under certain conditions as further explained in note 2, 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 and the Company’s circular dated 23 May 2013 (the “ Proposed Plans ”).
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from a failure to attain favourable results of the Proposed Plans.
Should the going concern assumption be inappropriate, any adjustments may have to be made to reflect the situation that assets may need to be realised at other than the amounts at which they are currently recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position. In addition, the Group may have to provide for further liabilities that might arise, and to reclassify non-current assets as current assets. The auditors consider that appropriate disclosures have been made in the consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 30 June 2013
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability and its shares are listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”). The addresses of the registered office and the principal place of business of the Company in Hong Kong are disclosed in the corporate information to the annual report.
The consolidated and company 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 Group.
The Company is an investment holding company and the principal activities of its principal subsidiaries are disclosed in note 36.
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 issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”), and accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong except for de-consolidation of certain subsidiaries of the Group as explained below. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the GEM Listing Rules and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with current year’s presentation, in which the trade receivables have been increased and other receivables have been decreased by approximately HK$225,000.
Going concern basis
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis notwithstanding that the Group incurred a loss of approximately HK$23,568,000 for the year ended 30 June 2013 (for the year ended 30 June 2012: approximately HK$100,389,000) and the Group and the Company recorded a net current liabilities of approximately HK$6,263,000 and HK$8,473,000 respectively, 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 of the Company (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 consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The validity of the going concern assumption on which the 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$40,207,000 (for the year ended 30 June 2012: HK$Nil) of which details were set out in note 22(c) to the consolidated financial statements; (ii) the extension of repayment of loan facility of approximately HK$42,400,000 (for the year ended 30 June 2012: approximately HK$19,586,000) granted by a company owned by an executive director of which details were set out in the Company’s announcement dated 30 August 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 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 and the Company’s circular dated 23 May 2013 (the “Proposed Plans”).
The completion of the subscription agreement in respect of the issue of convertible bonds in the principal amount of HK$40,000,000 (“Subscription Agreement”) is conditional upon:
-
(a) the passing of the necessary resolution(s) by the independent shareholders who are allowed to vote under the GEM Listing Rules, The Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers (“Takeovers Code”) and/or other applicable laws and regulations approving separately at the extraordinary general meeting (i) the Subscription Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereunder (including but not limited to the issue of the convertible bonds and the allotment and issue of the conversion shares); and (ii) the grant of whitewash waiver by the Securities and Future Commission of Hong Kong (“SFC”);
-
(b) the listing committee of Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited having granted the listing of and permission to deal in, the conversion shares;
-
(c) the warranties under the Subscription Agreement remaining true and correct in all material respects;
-
(d) all necessary consents and approvals (including but not limited to approval from the Board and the relevant regulatory approval pursuant to the GEM Listing Rules and the Takeovers Code) as may be required to be obtained by the Company in respect of the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby having been obtained;
-
(e) the publication of an announcement of the subscriber holding in relation to the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder in compliance with Chapter 14 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”);
-
(f) the granting of whitewash waiver by SFC; and
-
(g) the capital reorganisation having become effective.
— II-24 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
The completion of the unsecured loan agreement in the principal amount of HK$40,000,000 (“Loan Agreement”) is conditional upon the fulfillment of the following conditions:
-
(a) completion of the Subscription Agreement;
-
(b) the publication of an announcement of the subscriber holding in relation to the Subscription Agreement and the Loan Agreement and the transactions contemplated respectively thereunder in compliance with Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules; and
-
(c) the passing of the necessary resolution(s) by the independent shareholders who are allowed to vote under the GEM Listing Rules, the Takeovers Code and/or other applicable laws and regulations approving at the extraordinary general meeting the Loan Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereunder.
The 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 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 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 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 consolidated financial statements.
Investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2013 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, the “Unconsolidated Subsidiaries”) for the year ended 30 June 2013, have not provided complete documentary information and reasonable explanation in respect of the transactions asserted to have been undertaken. The Directors have not been able to obtain complete documentary information to satisfy themselves regarding the accounting treatments in respect of those transactions for the year ended 30 June 2013.
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
— II-25 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
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 in the BSHK Group.
Given these circumstances, the Directors 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 2013, the amounts due from the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries to the Group and the Company of approximately HK$241,847,000 and HK$238,883,000 respectively of which accumulated impairment losses of approximately HK$240,593,000 and HK$237,641,000 were recognised in the previous years. The Directors are of the view that the carrying amounts of these amounts were not recoverable and impairment loss of approximately HK$1,254,000 was recognised for the year ended 30 June 2013. In addition, the Group recorded amounts due to the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries of approximately HK$1,309,000 at 30 June 2013.
In the opinion of the Directors, these consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2013 and 30 June 2012 are prepared on the aforementioned basis present more fairly the results and state of affairs of the Group as a whole in light of the aforesaid incomplete books and records of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries and result of the Forensic Investigation. However, the de-consolidation of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries from the beginning of the year 1 July 2011 was not in compliance with the requirements of the Hong Kong Accounting Standard 27 (Revised) “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”.
3. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (THE “HKFRSs”)
In the current year, the Group has applied for the first time, the following new and revised standards and interpretations (together, the “new and revised HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) which are effective for the Group’s financial year beginning on 1 July 2012. A summary of the new and revised HKFRSs adopted by the Group is set out as follows:
Amendments to HKAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income
The amendments to HKAS 1 introduce new terminology for the statement of comprehensive income and income statement. Under the amendments to HKAS 1, a statement of comprehensive income is renamed as a statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and an income statement is renamed as a statement of profit or loss. The amendments to HKAS 1 retain the option to present profit or loss and other comprehensive income in either a single statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. However, the amendments to HKAS 1 require items of other comprehensive
— II-26 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
income to be grouped into two categories in the other comprehensive income section: (a) items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss and (b) items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is required to be allocated on the same basis. The amendments do not change the option to present items of other comprehensive income either before tax or net of tax.
In current year, the Group has applied the amendments to HKAS 1 for the first time. The presentations of items of other comprehensive income are modified accordingly.
The application of new and revised HKFRSs in the current year has had no material effect on the amounts reported in these financial statements and/or disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.
The Group has not early applied the following new and revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments
HKFRS 9 issued in 2009 introduced new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. HKFRS 9 was amended in 2010 to include requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and for derecognition.
Key requirements of HKFRS 9 are described below:
All recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to be subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent reporting periods. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent accounting periods. In addition, under HKFRS 9, entities may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognised in profit or loss.
The Group is in the process of making an assessment of the impact of these new and revised HKFRSs upon initial application. So far, the Group considers that while the application of these new and revised HKFRSs are unlikely to have a significant impact on the Group’s results of operations and financial position.
New and revised standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures
In June 2011, a package of five standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures was issued, including HKFRS 10, HKFRS 11, HKFRS 12, HKAS 27 (as revised in 2011) and HKAS 28 (as revised in 2011).
Key requirements of these five standards are described below:
HKFRS 10 replaces the parts of HKAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that deal with consolidated financial statements. HK (SIC)-Int 12 Consolidation — Special Purpose Entities will be withdrawn upon the effective date of HKFRS 10. Under HKFRS 10, there is only one basis for consolidation, that is, control. In addition, HKFRS 10 includes a new definition of control that contains three elements: (a) power over an investee, (b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and (c) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. Extensive guidance has been added in HKFRS 10 to deal with complex scenarios.
HKFRS 11 replaces HKAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures . HKFRS 11 deals with how a joint arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control should be classified. HK (SIC)-Int 13 Jointly Controlled Entities — Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers will be withdrawn upon the effective date of HKFRS 11. Under HKFRS 11, joint arrangements are classified as joint operations or joint ventures, depending on the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangements. In contrast, under HKAS 31, there are three types of joint arrangements: jointly controlled entities, jointly controlled assets and jointly controlled operations. In addition, joint ventures under HKFRS 11 are required to be accounted for using the equity method of accounting, whereas jointly controlled entities under HKAS 31 can be accounted for using the equity method of accounting or proportionate consolidation.
— II-28 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
HKFRS 12 is a disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the disclosure requirements in HKFRS 12 are more extensive than those in the current standards.
In July 2012, the amendments to HKFRS 10, HKFRS 11 and HKFRS 12 were issued to clarify certain transitional guidance on the application of these five HKFRSs for the first time.
These five standards, together with the amendments relating to the transitional guidance, are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 with earlier application permitted provided all of these standards are applied at the same time. The Directors anticipate that the adoption of the revised standard did not have any impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.
HKFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
HKFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. The Standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The scope of HKFRS 13 is broad; it applies to both financial instrument items and non-financial instrument items for which other HKFRSs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except in specified circumstances. In general, the disclosure requirements in HKFRS 13 are more extensive than those in the current standards. For example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only under HKFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures will be extended by HKFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.
HKFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, with earlier application permitted. The Directors anticipate that the application of the new Standard may affect certain amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and result in more extensive disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to HKFRS 7 and HKAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities and the related disclosures
The amendments to HKAS 32 clarify existing application issues relating to the offset of financial assets and financial liabilities requirements. Specifically, the amendments clarify the meaning of ‘currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off’ and ‘simultaneous realisation and settlement’.
The amendments to HKFRS 7 require entities to disclose information about rights of offset and related arrangements (such as collateral posting requirements) for financial instruments under an enforceable master netting agreement or similar arrangement.
The amendments to HKFRS 7 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. The disclosures should be provided retrospectively for all comparative periods. However, the amendments to HKAS 32 are not effective until annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014, with retrospective application required.
— II-29 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
The Directors anticipate that the application of these amendments to HKAS 32 and HKFRS 7 may result in more disclosures being made with regard to offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities in the future.
Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2009–2011 Cycle issued in June 2012
The Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2009–2011 Cycle include a number of amendments to various HKFRSs. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Amendments to HKFRSs include the amendments to HKAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and the amendments to HKAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation .
Amendments to HKAS 16
The amendments to HKAS 16 clarify that spare parts, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment should be classified as property, plant and equipment when they meet the definition of property, plant and equipment in HKAS 16 and as inventory otherwise. The Directors do not anticipate that the amendments to HKAS 16 will not have a significant effect on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to HKAS 32
The amendments to HKAS 32 clarify that income tax on distributions to holders of an equity instrument and transaction costs of an equity transaction should be accounted for in accordance with HKAS 12 Income Taxes . The Directors anticipate that the amendments to HKAS 32 will have no effect on the Group’s consolidated financial statements as the Group has already adopted this treatment.
Amendments to HKAS 19 Employee Benefits
The amendments to HKAS 19 change the accounting for defined benefit plans and termination benefits. The most significant change relates to the accounting for changes in defined benefit obligations and plan assets. The amendments require the recognition of changes in defined benefit obligations and in the fair value of plan assets when they occur, and hence eliminate the “corridor approach” permitted under the previous version of HKAS 19. The amendments require all actuarial gains and losses to be recognised immediately through other comprehensive income in order for the net pension asset or liability recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position to reflect the full value of the plan deficit or surplus.
The amendments to HKAS 19 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and require retrospective application with certain exceptions.
The Group is in the process of assessing the potential impact of these new and revised HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to determine whether these new and revised HKFRSs will have a significant impact on how its results of operations and financial position are prepared and presented. These new and revised HKFRSs may result in changes in the future as to how the results and financial position are prepared and presented.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies are set out below.
(a) Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
Inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Profits and losses resulting from intercompany transactions that are recognised in assets are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
The Group applies the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquire on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquire is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognised in accordance with IAS/HKAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the fair value of non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss.

APPENDIX II
Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions — that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.
Disposal of subsidiaries
When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
Separate financial statements
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost also includes direct attributable costs of investment. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the company on the basis of dividend and receivable.
Impairment testing of the investments in subsidiaries is required upon receiving dividends from these investments if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the investee’s net assets including goodwill.
Transactions with non-controlling interests
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with equity owners of the Group. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.
When the Group ceases to have control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset.
In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
— II-32 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.
(b) Foreign currency transaction
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in HK dollars (HK$), which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income within “finance cost”. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income within “other income”.
Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets, such as equities classified as available for sale, are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
(c) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.
— II-33 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives and after taking into account their estimated residual value, using the straight line method, at the following rates per annum:
| Type | Basis |
|---|---|
| Plant and machinery | 20% |
| Leasehold improvement | 20% |
| Furniture, fixtures and equipment | 20% |
| Motor vehicles | 20% |
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
(d) Intangible asset
Trademark
Trademark is shown at historical cost and has a finite useful life and is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and less any identified impairment loss. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of trademark over its estimated useful lives of 20 years.
(e) Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
(f)
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
— II-34 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
Financial assets
The Group’s financial assets are classified into loans and receivables. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. The accounting policies adopted in respect of such category of financial assets are set out below.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables (including trade receivables, deposits and other receivables and bank balances and cash) are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for the amounts that are settled or expected to be settled more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. Loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premium or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been affected.
Objective evidence of impairment could include:
-
(i) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty;
-
(ii) breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or
-
(iii) it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation; or
-
(iv) the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
— II-35 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
For financial assets carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Debt and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the asset of the group after deducting all of its liabilities. The Group’s financial liabilities are generally classified into other financial liabilities. The accounting policies adopted in respect of financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
— II-36 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis other than financial liabilities classified as at fair value through profit or loss.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities (including accruals and other payables, other borrowing, obligation under finance leases and amount due to a former director) are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.
Derecognition
The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contracted rights to receive cash flows from the assets expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised directly in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss.
The Group derecognise financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligation are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid or payable is recognised in profit or loss.
(g) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses. Provision is made for inventories when they became obsolete.
(h) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection of trade and other receivables is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.
Trade and other receivables recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.
(i) Cash and cash equivalents
In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.
— II-37 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
(j) Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Where any group company purchases the company’s equity share capital, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs is deducted from equity attributable to owners of the Company until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.
(k) Trade payables
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
(l) Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds and the redemption value is recognised in the statement of profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Fee paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
(m) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
— II-38 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
(n) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and its recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
Revenue from sales of beauty products and beauty equipment is recognised on the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the beauty products and beauty equipment are delivered to customers. Revenue is shown net of value add tax, returns, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the Group.
Revenue from interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the interest rate applicable.
Revenue from service income is recognised when service are provided. Payments that are related to service not yet rendered are shown as deposits from customers in the consolidated financial statements.
(o) Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxation profit differs from profit as reported in consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
— II-39 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised. Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly to equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority and the entity intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
(p) Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
The Group as lessee
Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the consolidated statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Group’s policy on borrowing costs. Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straightline basis over the term of the relevant lease. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to enter into an operating lease are recognised as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis.
(q) Retirement benefits costs
The Group operates a defined contribution Mandatory Provident Fund retirement benefit scheme in Hong Kong (the “MPF Scheme”) under the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance, for those employees who are eligible to participate in the MPF Scheme. Contributions are made based on a percentage of the employees’ basic salaries and are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the MPF Scheme. The assets of the MPF Scheme are held separately from those of the Group in an independently administered fund. The Group’s employer contributions vest fully with the employees when contributed into the MPF Scheme.
— II-40 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
(r) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.
(s) Related parties
-
(i) A person, or a close member of that person’s family, is related to the Group if that person:
-
(1) has control or joint control over the Group;
-
(2) has significant influence over the Group; or
-
(3) is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or the Group’s parent.
-
(ii) An entity is related to the Group if any of the following conditions applies:
-
(1) the entity and the Group are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others).
-
(2) one entity is an associate or a joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or a joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member).
-
(3) both entities are joint ventures of the same third party.
-
(4) one entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity.
-
(5) the entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Group or an entity related to the Group.

APPENDIX II
(t) Contingent liabilities and assets
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably. A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable, they will then be recognised as a provision.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group. Contingent assets are not recognised but are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. When inflow is virtually certain, an asset is recognised.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 4, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical judgements in applying accounting policies
The followings are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations, that management has made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
The Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charges of its property, plant and equipment. These estimates are based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. The Group will increase the depreciation charge where useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, and will write off or write down technically obsolete or nonstrategic assets that have been abandoned or sold. Actual economic lives may differ from estimated useful lives. Periodic review could result in a change in depreciable lives and therefore depreciation charge in the future periods.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
Impairment loss of trade and other receivables
The policy for impairment loss recognised in respect of trade and other receivables of the Group is based on the evaluation of collectability and ageing analysis of accounts and on management’s judgement. A considerable amount of judgement is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each debtor. If the financial conditions of debtors of the Group were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
Impairment loss of intangible asset
The Group performs annual tests on whether there has been impairment of intangible asset in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 4(d). The recoverable amount is determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions made by management on the future operation of the business, pre-tax discount rates, and other assumptions underlying the value-in-use calculations.
Net realised value of inventories
Net realisable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and variable selling expenses. These estimates are based on the current market condition and the historical experience of manufacturing and selling products of similar nature. It could change significantly as a result of changes in customer taste and competitor actions in response to severe industry cycle. The Directors reassess the estimations at the end of reporting period.

(b) Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s and the Company’s major financial instruments include interests in subsidiaries, trade receivables, deposits and other receivables, bank balances and cash, amount due to a former director, accruals and other payables, other borrowing and obligation under finance leases. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in the respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the polices on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures closely to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.
There has been no change to the Group’s and the Company’s risk exposure relating to financial instruments or the manner in which it manages and measures the risks.
Market risk
(i) Currency risk
For the year ended 30 June 2013 and 30 June 2012, the Group and the Company mainly operates in Hong Kong and no material foreign currency risk. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations which are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency. The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy in respect of foreign current assets and liabilities. The Group will monitor its foreign exchange exposure closely and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.
(ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group and the Company has no significant interest bearing financial instruments except bank balances, other receivables and other borrowing. Details of the financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The Group and the Company currently does not have an interest rate hedging policy. However, the management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider hedging significant interest rate exposures should the need arise.
Sensitivity analysis
If floating rates had been 5% higher/lower, the Group’s:
-
Profit before tax for the year ended 30 June 2013 would increase/ decrease by approximately HK$Nil (2012: HK$ 96,000).
-
No impact to the other component of equity for the year ended 30 June 2013 and 2012.

APPENDIX II
Credit risk
At 30 June 2013, the Group’s and the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties provided by the Group is arising from deposits and other receivables.
In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews regularly the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management considers that the Group’s credit risk is significant reduced.
In respect of trade and other receivables, individual credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. These evaluations focus on the customer’s past history of making payments when due and current ability to pay, and take into account information specific to the customer as well as pertaining to the economic environment in which the customer operates.
Liquidity risk
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the Group’s funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves and other borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, carrying out fund raising activities and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. The following table details the Group’s and the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities based on the agreed repayment terms. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of the financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group and the Company can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

The Directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are recorded in the consolidated financial statements approximate to their fair values.
(d) Fair value measurements recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position
The carrying value of financial instruments are measured at fair value at 30 June 2013 across the three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined in HKFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, with the fair values of each financial instrument categorised in its entirety based on the lowest level of input that fair value measurement.
The levels are defined as follows:
-
Level 1: (highest level): fair values measured using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments.
-
Level 2: fair values measured using quoted prices in active markets for similar financial instruments, or using valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are directly or indirectly based on observable market date.
-
Level 3: (lowest level): fair value measured using valuation techniques in which any significant input is not based on observable market data.
At 30 June 2013, the Group had no financial instruments carried at fair value which are based on the Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers of fair value measurement between Level 1 and Level 2 and no transfers into or out of Level 3 (2012: Nil).

APPENDIX II
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the six months ended 31 December 2014
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 of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Stock Exchange ”). Its ultimate holding company is Eternity Investment Limited (“ Eternity ”), a company incorporated in Bermuda and its shares are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange. The addresses of the registered office and the principal place of business of the Company in Hong Kong are disclosed in the company information section of the annual report.
The consolidated and company 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 subsidiaries are disclosed in note 36.
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 at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies below.
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.
— II-86 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
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 and the Company of approximately HK$241,426,000 and HK$238,462,000 respectively of which impairment loss of HK$80,000 was recognised during the year and accumulated impairment losses of approximately HK$241,426,000 and HK$238,462,000 were recorded respectively. In addition, the Group recorded amounts due to the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries of approximately HK$1,309,000 at 30 June 2014.
— II-87 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
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. 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 annual 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, consolidated statement of cash flows 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 (“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. A summary of the new and revised HKFRSs applied by the Group is set out as follows:
| HKFRS 10, HKFRS 12 and HKAS 27 | Investment Entities |
|---|---|
| (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.
— II-88 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
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.
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.
— II-89 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
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.
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.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
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 shortterm receivables and payables with no stated interest rate at their invoice amounts without discounting, if the effect of 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 amendments to HKAS 24 clarify 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.
— II-91 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
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.

In addition, the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) will affect the presentation and disclosure of certain information in the consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2015. The Group is in the process of making an assessment of the impact of these changes.
— II-92 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments
HKFRS 9 issued in 2009 introduced new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. HKFRS 9 was amended in 2010 include requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and for derecognition, and further amended in 2013 to include the new requirements for general hedge accounting. Another revised version of HKFRS 9 was issued in 2014 mainly to include (a) impairment requirements for financial assets and (b) limited amendments to the classification and measurement requirements by introducing a ‘fair value through other comprehensive income’ ( FVTOCI ) measurement category for certain simple debt instruments.
Key requirements of HKFRS 9 are described below:
-
All recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement are subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent reporting periods. Debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and that have contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, are measured at FVTOCI All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair value at the end of subsequent accounting periods. In addition, under HKFRS 9, entities may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognised in profit or loss.
-
With regard to the measurement of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss, HKFRS 9 requires that the amount of change in the fair value of financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value of financial liabilities attributable to changes in the financial liabilities’ credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Under HKAS 39, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the financial liability designated as fair value through profit or loss was presented in profit or loss.
-
In relation to the impairment of financial assets, HKFRS 9 requires an expected credit loss model, as opposed to an incurred credit loss model under HKAS 39. The expected credit loss model requires an entity to account for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition. In other words, it is no long necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised.
-
The new general hedge accounting requirements retain the three types of hedge accounting. However, greater flexibility has been introduced to the types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting, specifically broadening the types of instruments that qualify for hedging instruments and the types of risk components of non-financial items that are eligible for hedge accounting. In addition, the effectiveness test has been overhauled and replaced with the principle of an ‘economic relationship’. Retrospective assessment of hedge effectiveness is also no longer required. Enhanced disclosure requirements about an entity’s risk management activities have also been introduced.
— II-93 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of HKFRS 9 in the future may have a material impact on the amounts reported in respect of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities. Regarding the Group’s financial assets, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of that effect until a detailed review has been completed.
HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In July 2014, HKFRS 15 was issued which establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. HKFRS 15 will supersede the current revenue recognition guidance including HKAS 18 Revenue , HKAS 11 Construction Contracts and the related Int when it becomes effective.
The core principle of HKFRS 15 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. Specifically, the standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:
-
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
-
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
-
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
-
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
-
Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
Under HKFRS 15, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when ‘control’ of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. Far more prescriptive guidance has been added in HKFRS 15 to deal ith specific scenarios. Furthermore, extensive disclosures are required by HKFRS 15.
The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of HKFRS 15 in the future may have a material impact on the amounts reported and disclosures made in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect of HKFRS 15 until the Group performs a detailed review.
Save as described above, the Group is in the process of assessing the potential impact of these new and revised HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to determine whether these new and revised HFKRSs will have a significant impact on how its results of operations and financial position are prepared and presented. These new and revised HKFRSs may result in changes in the future as to how the results and financial position are prepared and presented.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
5. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies are set out below.
(a) Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
Business combinations
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.
The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-byacquisition basis. Non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation are measured at either fair value or the present ownership interests’ proportionate share in the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other components of non-controlling interests and measured at their acquisition date fair value, unless another measurement basis is required by HKFRS.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognised in accordance with HKAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognised and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
— II-95 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform with the Group’s accounting policies.
Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions — that is, as transactions with the owners of the subsidiary in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying amount of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.
Disposal of subsidiaries
When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
(b) Interests in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost includes direct attributable costs of investment. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividend received and receivable.
Impairment testing of the investments in subsidiaries is required upon receiving a dividend from these investments if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the investee’s net assets including goodwill.
(c) Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“ the functional currency ”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in HK dollars ( HK$ ), which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency.
— II-96 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income within “finance costs”. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income within “other income”, “cost of sales” or “administrative expenses”.
(d)
Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries represents the excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisitiondate fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identified net assets acquired.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units (“ CGUs ”), or groups of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.
Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying value of the CGU containing the goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs of disposal. Any impairment is recognised immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed.
(e) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and is recognises when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably.
Revenue from sale of beauty products and beauty equipment is recognised on the transfer of risks and rewards of ownership, which generally coincides with the time when the beauty products and beauty equipment are delivered to customers. Revenue is shown net of returns, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the Group.
Revenue from service income is recognised when service are provided. Payments that are related to service not yet rendered are shown as deposits from customers and deferred revenue in the consolidated statement of financial position.

APPENDIX II
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
(f)
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of CGUs for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or the cashgenerating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
(g) Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from ‘loss before tax’ as reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
— II-98 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
(h) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost, less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, if any.
— II-99 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. The principal annual rates are as follows:
| Plant and machinery | 20% |
|---|---|
| Leasehold improvement | 20% |
| Furniture, fixtures and equipment | 20% |
| Motor vehicles | 20% |
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets. However, when there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained by the end of the lease term, assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued used of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
(i) Intangible asset
Trademark
Trademark is shown at historical cost and has a finite useful life and is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and less any accumulated impairment loss. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of trademark over its estimated useful lives of 20 years.
(j) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets
The Group classifies its financial assets into loans and receivables. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.
— II-100 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables (including restricted bank deposits, trade receivables, deposits and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that,as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.
Objective evidence of impairment could include:
-
(i) significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or
-
(ii) breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or
-
(iii) it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation; or
-
(iv) the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
For certain categories of financial assets, such as trade receivables, assets are assessed for impairment on a collective basis even if they were assessed not to be impaired individually. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period, as well as observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
For financial assets that are carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
— II-101 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
For financial assets carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Classification as debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.
Convertible bonds
The component parts of compound instruments (convertible bonds) issued by the Company are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. Conversion option that will be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Company’s own equity instruments is an equity instrument.
At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible instruments. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis using the effective interest method until extinguished upon conversion or at the instrument’s maturity date.
— II-102 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
The conversion option classified as equity is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognised and included in equity, net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently remeasured. In addition, the conversion option classified as equity will remain in equity until the conversion option is exercised, in which case, the balance recognised in equity will be transferred to share premium. When the conversion option remains unexercised at the maturity date of the convertible bonds, the balance recognised in equity will be transferred to accumulated losses. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss upon conversion or expiration of the conversion option.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities (including amount due to a former director, trade payables, accruals and other payables, other borrowings, promissory notes, convertible bonds and obligations under finance leases) are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis other than financial liabilities classified as at fair value through profit or loss.
Derecognition
The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group continues to recognise the asset to the extent of its continuing involvement and recognises an associated liability. If the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss.
On derecognition of a financial asset other than in its entirety, the Group allocates the previous carrying amount of the financial asset between the part it continues to recognise, and the part it no longer recognises on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the transfer. The difference between the carrying amount allocated to the part that is no longer recognised and the sum of the consideration received for the part no longer recognised and any cumulative gain or loss allocated to it that had been recognised in other comprehensive
— II-103 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
income is recognised in profit or loss. A cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is allocated between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that is no longer recognised on the basis of the relative fair values of those parts.
The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
(k) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs of inventories are determined using the weighted average method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Provision is made for inventories when they became obsolete.
(l) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection of trade and other receivables is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment.
(m) Cash and cash equivalents
In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.
(n) Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(o) Trade payables
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
— II-104 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
(p) Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds and the redemption value is recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
(q) Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
The Group as lessee
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the consolidated statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Group’s general policy on borrowing costs. Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed. Contingent rentals arising under operating leases are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
(r) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
— II-105 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
(s) Retirement benefit obligations
The Group operates the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme (the “ MPF Scheme ”) under the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance for those employees employed under the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong Employment Ordinance. The MPF Scheme is a defined contribution scheme, the assets of which are held in separate trustee-administered funds.
Under the MPF Scheme, the employer and its employees are each required to make contributions to the scheme at 5% to 10% of the employees’ relevant income, with the employees’ contributions subject to a cap of monthly relevant income of HK$30,000. The Group’s contributions to the MPF Scheme are expensed as incurred. 5% of relevant income vests immediately upon the completion of service in the relevant service period, while the remaining portion vests in accordance with the MPF Scheme’s vesting scales. Where employees leave the MPF Scheme prior to the full vesting of the employer’s contributions, the amount of forfeited contributions is used to reduce the contributions payable by the Group.
(t) Contingent liabilities and assets
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will only be confirmed by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measured reliably. A contingent liability is not recognised but is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. When a change in the probability of an outflow occurs so that outflow is probable, they will then be recognised as a provision.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group. Contingent assets are not recognised but are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. When inflow is virtually certain, an asset is recognised.
(u) Related parties
-
(i) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to the Group if that person:
-
(1) has control or joint control of the Group;
-
(2) has significant influence over the Group; or
-
(3) is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or of a parent of the Group.
-
(ii) An entity is related to the Group if any of the following conditions applies:
-
(1) The entity and the Group are members of the same group (which means that each parent, subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others).
— II-106 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
-
(2) One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member).
-
(3) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party.
-
(4) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity.
-
(5) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of employees of either the Group or an entity related to the Group.
-
(6) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (i).
-
(7) A person identified in (i)(1) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of the key management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity).
Close family members of the family or of a person are those family members who may be expected to influence, or be influenced by, that person in their dealings with the entity.
(v) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. When a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.
6. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period are discussed below.
— II-107 —
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE EDS GROUP
APPENDIX II
(a) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
The Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation charges of its property, plant and equipment. These estimates are based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions. The Group will increase the depreciation charge where useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, and will write off or write down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold. Actual economic lives may differ from estimated useful lives. Periodic review could result in a change in depreciable lives and therefore depreciation charge in the future periods.
(b) Impairment loss of trade and other receivables
The policy for impairment loss recognised in respect of trade and other receivables of the Group is based on the evaluation of collectability and ageing analysis of accounts and on management’s judgment. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each debtor. If the financial conditions of debtors of the Group were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.
(c) Impairment loss of intangible asset
The Group performs annual tests on whether there has been impairment of intangible asset in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 5(f). The recoverable amount is determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions made by management on the future operation of the business, pre-tax discount rates, and other assumptions underlying the value-in-use calculations.
(d) Net realisable value of inventories
Net realisable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and variable selling expenses. These estimates are based on the current market condition and the historical experience of manufacturing and selling products of similar nature. It could change significantly as a result of changes in customer taste and competitor actions in response to severe industry cycle. The directors reassess the estimations at the end of the reporting period.
(e) Fair value of contingent consideration arising from business combination
Contingent consideration arising from business combination is valued using a discounted cash flow model, based on the estimated compensation received by the Group, discounted using the applicable prevailing market rate. The estimation of the compensation is based on the estimated profits of China Honest Enterprises Limited (“ China Honest ”), a 51% owned subsidiary of the Company.

(f) Impairment loss of goodwill
The Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy stated in note 5(d). The recoverable amounts have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates (note 20).

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.

Impairment test of trademark
During the year ended 30 June 2012, the directors of the Company were of the opinion that there had been no material future cash inflow contributed to the Group by the Trademark and an impairment loss amounting to approximately HK$7,488,000 was recognised.
The Group completed its annual impairment test for the Trademark by comparing its recoverable amount to the carrying amount at 30 June 2014. The recoverable amount of the trademark is determined based on value-in-use calculation of the cash flow projections on the financial estimation.
On 24 September 2014, the Group disposed of the Trademark with a carrying amount of HK$350,000 to an independent third party at a consideration of HK$350,000. A reversal of impairment loss amounting to HK$350,000 was recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the six months ended 31 December 2014 (for the year ended 30 June 2014: Nil).

APPENDIX II
Impairment test of goodwill
Goodwill acquired through business combination has been allocated to the sale of beauty products and provision of therapy services CGUs (the “ Group of CGUs ”), which are reportable segments, for impairment testing.
The recoverable amount of the Group of CGUs is determined based on a value-in-use calculation which uses cash flow projection based on financial budgets approved by the directors of the Company covering a five-year period, and a pre tax discount rate of 17.51% per annum (at 30 June 2014: 18.04% per annum).
Cash flow projects during the budget period are based on the financial budget approved by the management covering a five-year period and assumed growth rate are sued to extrapolate the cash flows in the following years. The financial budgets are prepared based on a five-year business plan which is appropriate after considering the sustainability of business growth, stability of core business developments and achievement of business targets. The financial model assumes an average growth rate of 3.5% per annum beyond the five-year period taking into account of long term gross domestic product growth, inflation rate and other relevant economic factors.
No impairment loss has been recognised in respect of goodwill related to the Group of CGUs for the six months ended 31 December 2014 and year ended 30 June 2014 as its recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount.
The directors of the Company believe that any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount is based would not cause the carrying amount of the Groups of CGUs to exceed the aggregate its recoverable amount.

APPENDIX II
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 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.

APPENDIX II
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. These risks include credit risk, liquidity risk and price risk.
(a) Credit risk
The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position.
In order to minimise the credit risk, the executive directors of the Company are responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade receivables and debt investment at the end of each reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regards, the directors of the Company consider that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.
(b) Liquidity risk
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity management risk rests with the board of directors of the Company, which has built an appropriate liquidity risk management framework to meet the Group’s short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate level of cash and cash equivalent by continuously monitoring forecast and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The following table details the Group’s and the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of the financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group and the Company can be required to pay. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows.

45. LITIGATION AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Save as disclosed in elsewhere of the consolidated financial statements, the Group has the following litigation and contingent liabilities:
- (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 BSHK and 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 Action No. 1775 of 2012 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 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 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. 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 (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. An amended statement of claim was filed on about 30 July 2013.

APPENDIX II
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 (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 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 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’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. The application by Mr. Shum 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 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.
- (b) As disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 12 May 2014, on 28 April 2014, the Company received a writ of summons (the “ Writ of Summons ”) from the People’s Court of Huadu District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province of the PRC.
Pursuant to the two writs of civil proceedings (the “ Writs of Civil Proceedings ”) enclosed with the Writ of Summons, the plaintiff 廣州市溢盈物業管理服務有限 公司 (Guangzhou Yiying Property Management Services Co. Ltd.) (“ Yiying ”), a property management company,alleges that, among others, (i) 廣州市雅基 置業有限公司 (Guangzhou Yaji Properties Co. Ltd.)(“ Yaji ”) has defaulted in payment of the management fees and utilities and miscellaneous fees of in the aggregate amount of approximately RMB2,868,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$3,620,000) in respect of certain commercial properties owned by Yaji in Huadu District,Guangzhou City (the “ Properties ”) for the period from February 2012 to January 2014; and (ii) after the Properties had been sold and transferred to Yaji by 廣州市花都佳業房地產開發有限公司 (Guangzhou Huadu Jiaye Property Development Co. Ltd.) (“ Jiaye ”), Yaji continued to default in payment of the management fees and as Yaji did not have enough capacity for payment, upon discussion between the parties, Yaji, the Company, Yiying and Jiaye entered into a letter of confirmation (the “ Letter of Confirmation ”) on 26 November 2010 providing that the obligations which should be performed by Yaji in relation to the management of the Properties would be assumed and performed by the Company.

APPENDIX II
Under the Writs of Civil Proceedings, Yiying requests the People’s Court of Huadu District to:
-
(i) order Yaji and the Company to forthwith and jointly pay to Yiying the outstanding management fees from February 2012 to January 2014 in the aggregate amount of approximately RMB2,866,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$3,620,000) and the default payment until the day of actual repayment (which is in aggregate amount of approximately RMB1,369,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,729,000) as at 31 January 2014), totalling amounted to approximately RMB4,235,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$5,349,000);
-
(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 approximately RMB2,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$3,100) and the interest loss until the day of actual repayment (which is in aggregate amount of approximately RMB300 (equivalent to approximately HK$400)), totalling amounted to approximately RMB3,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$3,500);

Having examined a copy of the Letter of Confirmation enclosed with the Writ of Summons,reviewed the internal records of the Company and enquired with the former management of the Company at the relevant times, the Company considers that the signature of the alleged representative of the Company on the Letter of Confirmation was not signed by any authorised representative of the Company and may be forged for, among others, the following reasons:
-
(i) the signature of the alleged representative of the Company on the Letter of Confirmation was different from those of the former directors and the chief executive officer of the Company at the relevant times;
-
(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;
— II-149 —

APPENDIX II
-
(iv) the internal records of the Company do not show that the Company has executed or approved the Letter of Confirmation; and
-
(v) the former chairman and executive director, the former vice-chairman and executive director and the former chief executive officer of the relevant times have confirmed that (a) they had never seen or signed the Letter of Confirmation; (b) the Letter of Confirmation had never been tabled for discussion in any meetings of directors they attended and they had never passed any resolution in any meeting of directors of the Company to approve the Letter of Confirmation or authorised any person to represent the Company to sign the Letter of Confirmation; and (c) they are not aware of any person having signed the Letter of Confirmation for and on behalf of the Company.
Three hearings were held by the People’s Court of Huadu District on 16 June 2014, 30 June 2014 and 15 August 2014 respectively.

3. MATERIAL CHANGE
Save for the following events, the EDS Directors confirm that, there had been no material change in the financial or trading position or outlook of the EDS Group since 31 December 2014, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the EDS Group were made up, up to and including the Latest Practicable Date:
-
(i) the entering into and completion of the Subscription Agreement pursuant to which EDS has issued 345,000,000 Ordinary Subscription EDS Shares and 30,000,000 Preferred Shares to the Subscribers, and has received gross proceeds of HK$150 million from the Subscribers in respect of the Subscription. The net proceeds from the Subscription are approximately HK$135 million;
-
(ii) upon Completion, Eternity has ceased to be the controlling shareholder of EDS while Xing Hang has become the new controlling shareholder of EDS with the intention to assist the EDS Group to develop in-flight WLAN and WIFI engineering and service business in the PRC as detailed in the paragraph headed “Future intentions of Xing Hang in relation to the EDS Group” in the letter from Kingston Securities in this Composite Document;
-
(iii) in relation to the acquisition (the “ Acquisition ”) of a 51% equity interest in and the shareholders’ loan due by China Honest Enterprises Limited, EDS published a profit forecast for the 12-month period ending 30 June 2015 with basis and assumptions (the “ 2015 Profit Forecast ”) as stated in the Appendix VI to the circular of EDS dated 21 March 2014. As stated in the interim report of EDS for the six months ended 30 June 2015 (the “ Interim Report ”), the EDS Group recorded a loss after tax of approximately HK$7.5 million for the six months ended 30 June 2015, as compared to the forecast profit after tax of approximately HK$5.1 million in the same period as estimated in the 2015 Profit Forecast (the “ Deviation ”) and the Deviation was mainly due to (i) a substantial decrease in the revenue derived from the sale of beauty products and provision of therapy services under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté” for the six months ended 30 June 2015; (ii) a substantial increase in legal and professional fees; and (iii) the substantial increase in staff costs incurred for the six months ended 30 June 2015.

APPENDIX II
Moreover, with regard to the Acquisition, the EDS Group issued four promissory notes as part of the consideration for the Acquisition. The promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of HK$7 million matured and were fully repaid on 27 July 2014 and the remaining promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of HK$6.42 million matured and were fully repaid on 30 June 2015;
-
(iv) as stated in the unaudited consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income set out in the third quarterly report of EDS for the nine months ended 30 September 2015 (the “ 3rd Quarterly Report”) , the EDS Group recorded turnover of approximately HK$32.4 million, gross profit of approximately HK$8.7 million and loss after tax of approximately HK$17.6 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2015 as compared to turnover of approximately HK$30 million, gross profit of approximately HK$11.4 million and loss after tax of approximately HK$9.2 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2014. As stated in the 3rd Quarterly Report, 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 (as defined below) since April 2015;
-
(v) based on EDS’s books and records, the EDS Group had operating lease commitments of approximately HK$15.3 million as at 30 September 2015 as compared to approximately HK$4.5 million as at 31 December 2014. The increase in operating lease commitments was mainly attributable to the renewal of a lease of property by the EDS Group;
-
(vi) as stated in the announcement of EDS dated 31 March 2015, EDS Distribution Limited (“ EDS Distribution ”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of EDS, was the exclusive distributor for “Evidens de Beauté” products in Hong Kong and Macau under an exclusive distribution agreement dated 13 July 2012 and the supplemental agreement dated 29 August 2013 (collectively, the “ Exclusive Distribution Agreement ”) with Montaigne Limited (“ Montaigne ”).

-
to the terms of the Exclusive Distribution Agreement, the minimum annual purchase amount that EDS Distribution was required to deliver for the renewed term shall not be less than the minimum annual purchase amount for the last contractual year. Due to the decline in the growth of the number of Mainland China visitors to Hong Kong and their spending power and the negative impact of the recent anti-parallel import protests on the retail market, the EDS Group was not optimistic on the performance of the retail market in the forthcoming period. In order to avoid the risk of not meeting the minimum annual purchase amount under the Exclusive Distribution Agreement, on 31 March 2015 (after trading hours), EDS Distribution notified Montaigne of its intention to terminate the Exclusive Distribution Agreement upon the expiry of the initial term of the Exclusive Distribution Agreement on 30 June 2015;
-
(vii) as set out in the circular of EDS dated 7 October 2015, EDS intends to focus the operations under the brand name “Evidens de Beauté” on the sale of products on a wholesale basis at Lyndhurst Terrace. In connection with such plan, the sales office in Kwun Tong has been relocated to Lyndhurst Terrace and the spa, facial sahos, body treatments and wellness massages services at Lyndhurst Terrace have ceased operations;
-
(viii) as stated in the Interim Report, on 13 April 2015, the EDS Group set up a wholly-foreign-owned enterprise (the “ WFOE ”) in Shenzhen, the PRC, namely 深圳多尼卡互聯技術有限公司 (Shenzhen Donica Networking Technology Co. Ltd., for identification only), with a registered share capital of RMB5 million (equivalent to HK$6.3 million), for the development of new business in inflight WLAN and WIFI engineering and service business. As compared to 55 employees as at 31 December 2014, the EDS Group had 106 employees as at 30 September 2015, including those employed by the WFOE;
-
(ix) on 6 November 2015, EDS and Donica entered into the Master Supply Agreement in respect of the sale and purchase of the In-flight WLAN and WIFI Equipment and the provision of related installation and maintenance services.
