2. THE PROVISIONAL SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

On 25 May 2021, the Purchaser, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Vendor entered into the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Purchaser conditionally agreed to purchase and the Vendor conditionally agreed to sell the Properties at the Consideration of HK$54,400,000.

Details of the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement are set out below:

Date

25 May 2021 (after trading hours)

Parties

Purchaser: Joyful Ocean Investments Limited

Vendor: Oceanic Rich Limited

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Purchaser is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Vendor is indirectly wholly-owned by the Cheung Family Trust, which indirectly holds 51.43% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date. As such, the Vendor is a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Assets to be acquired

Pursuant to the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to purchase, and the Vendor has conditionally agreed to sell the Properties on an ‘‘as-is’’ basis.

The Properties comprise Units 1201–1203 and Units 1205–1206 on 12th Floor, Ginza Plaza, No. 2A Sai Yeung Choi Street South, Kowloon, Hong Kong, which are commercial properties subject to mortgage. The gross floor area of the Properties is approximately 4,357 square feet.

The Properties had been leased to the Group by the Vendor as repair centre during the period from 1 September 2007 to 31 March 2021. On 1 April 2021, the Group has entered into a new tenancy to lease the Self-use Units from the Vendor for a

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

term of one year commencing from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022 at a monthly rental of HK$57,504. The Remaining Units has been leased by the Vendor to an Independent Third Party with a term of three years commencing from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2024 at a monthly rental of HK$47,064.

Based on the information provided by the Vendor, the original acquisition cost of the Properties was HK$23,092,100.

Consideration of the Acquisition

The Consideration for acquiring the Properties is HK$54,400,000, which shall be payable by the Purchaser to the Vendor in the following manner:

  • (a) HK$5,440,000, representing 10% of the Consideration as deposit (the ‘‘Deposit’’) payable upon signing of the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement; and

  • (b) HK$48,960,000, representing the remaining 90% of the Consideration payable upon completion of the Acquisition.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Deposit has already been paid by the Company.

All stamp duty (including buyer’s stamp duty and/or ad valorem stamp duty) shall be borne by the Purchaser. It is estimated that the acquisition cost of the Properties together with the stamp duty will be approximately HK$56,772,000.

Basis of determining the Consideration

The Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Purchaser and the Vendor with reference to, among other things, the preliminary property valuation on the Properties in the amount of HK$54,400,000 carried out by the Valuer as at 30 April 2021 and the prices of commercial properties in the vicinity of the Properties. In valuing the Properties, the Valuer adopted an investment method whereby the rent receivable during the residual period of the existing tenancy is capitalised at an appropriate capitalisation rate with due allowance for the reversionary interests after expiry of the tenancy. For reversionary value of the Properties, the Valuer has mainly made reference to sales of comparable properties with similar character and location.

To assess the independence and competency of the Valuer, the Board has considered the following items: (i) the terms of engagement of the Valuer with the Company; (ii) the qualifications and experience of the Valuer; and (iii) the steps and due diligence measures taken by the Valuer in performing the valuation of the Properties. Based on the assessment of the Board, the Directors are satisfied that the scope of work performed by the Valuer is appropriate to perform the valuation of the Properties and are not aware of any limitation on the scope of work which might have a negative impact on the degree of assurance given by the Valuer. To the best of the

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Directors’ knowledge and belief after reasonable enquiries and having been confirmed by the Valuer, the Valuer is an Independent Third Party, and apart from the normal professional fees payable to it in connection with this and similar valuation work, no arrangement exists whereby the Valuer will receive any fees or benefits from the Company, the Purchaser, the Vendor or their respective substantial shareholders or associates. The Valuer is certified with the relevant professional qualifications required to perform the valuation. The valuation report is jointly signed by a Fellow Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, a Fellow Member of the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors, who has extensive years of experience in the property valuation and advisory services in Hong Kong and the Greater China region; and a Member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, a Member of the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors, who has extensive years of experience in the property valuation and advisory services in Hong Kong and the Greater China region. In light of the above, the Board considers that the Valuer has sufficient expertise and is independent to perform the valuation of the Properties.

In performing the valuation, the key assumptions adopted by the Valuer include: (i) the owner sells the real property interest on the open market in its existing state without the benefit of any deferred terms contracts, leaseback, joint ventures, management agreements or any similar arrangement which would serve to affect the value of the real property interest; (ii) the owner of the real property has free and uninterrupted rights to use, transfer or lease the real property for the whole of the unexpired term of the government lease/conditions of exchange; (iii) the real property can be freely disposed of, transferred and leased to third parties on the open market without any additional payment to the relevant government authorities; and (iv) all applicable zoning and use regulations and restrictions have been complied with unless nonconformity has been stated, defined, and considered in the valuation report as set out in Appendix IV to this circular. Other specific assumptions in relation to the Properties include: (i) the unit rate adopted for the Properties is HK$17,700 per square feet and (ii) the capitalisation rate is 2.6%.

Besides, in the course of the valuation, the Valuer has made reference to various sale transactions of similar real properties within the locality having similar characteristics to the Properties. The selected comparables are office units of the subject building and other commercial buildings with similar usage. The unit rates of these sale transactions range from about HK$15,000 to HK$21,000 per square feet on the basis of saleable area. Details of the comparable properties are shown as follows:

Name Centre Harbour Centre Ginza Plaza

Date of Transaction March 2021 February 2021 June 2019

Saleable area HK$16,000
(per sq.ft.)

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

According to the Valuer, the investment method is the most appropriate valuation approach for assessing the market value of the Properties as it takes into account (i) the current rental income of the Properties by capitalising the rental income from the existing tenancies; and (ii) the ascertained sales unit rate of premises based on properties of similar natures (such as age and usage) within the surrounding area. The capitalisation rate is estimated by reference to the yields generally expected by the market for comparable properties of similar use type, which implicitly reflect the type and quality of the properties, the expectation of the potential future rental growth, capital appreciation and market sentiment for properties of similar natures. The comparable properties are located within the surrounding area of the Properties and with similar age and usage. In view of the above, the Directors are of the view that the comparable properties chosen by the Valuer are appropriate for the valuation and concur with the Valuer that the investment method is an appropriate and common approach for determining the market value of rental income generating properties in Hong Kong.

Taken into account of (i) the valuation of the Properties by the Valuer; (ii) the rental income receivable from the Properties; (iii) the future prospect of the property market in Hong Kong, and considering the benefits of the Acquisition as set out in the section headed ‘‘3. Reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition’’ in this circular, the Directors (including independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Source of Fund

The Company intends to satisfy the Consideration by utilising HK$13,400,000 of the net proceeds from the GEM Listing and the remaining HK$35,560,000 by the internal resources of the Group.

Conditions of the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement

Completion of the Acquisition is conditional upon fulfilment of the following conditions:

  • (a) the Vendor having provided to the Purchaser evidence of good title of the Properties in accordance with Sections 13 and 13A of the Conveyancing and Property Ordinance (Chapter 219 of the Laws of Hong Kong);

  • (b) the discharging of the existing mortgage against the Properties at the Vendor’s own costs and expenses;

  • (c) the Company having complied with and obtained all the requirements, approvals, consents and waivers for the Acquisition (with or without conditions imposed thereon) as required under the relevant Listing Rules before completion;

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (d) all the conditions (if any) as stipulated in the said approvals, consents or waivers having been satisfied and complied with before completion; and

  • (e) the Company having obtained the Independent Shareholders’ approval in relation to the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Acquisition and other transactions contemplated under the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement at a general meeting in accordance with the relevant Listing Rules.

The above conditions cannot be waived by any party to the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement.

If any of the abovementioned conditions has not been fulfilled on or before the Long Stop Date, unless otherwise agreed by the parties to the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser may terminate the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement by giving notice of termination in writing to the Vendor, in which event the Vendor shall return the Deposit received from the Purchaser under the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement forthwith on demand (without interest and costs) to the Purchaser, following which all rights and obligations of the parties shall cease immediately, and no party shall have any claim under the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement against the other party afterwards.

Subject to the abovementioned conditions being fulfilled, if the Purchaser fails to complete the Acquisition for whatsoever reason (other than due to the Vendor’s default) when all the abovementioned conditions have been fulfilled, the Vendor shall at its absolute discretion forfeit the Deposit paid by the Purchaser without reference to the others. Thereafter, the Vendor shall then be entitled at its absolute discretion to sell the said premises to anyone it thinks fit and the Vendor shall not sue the Purchaser for any liabilities and/or damages or to enforce specific performance. The Purchaser shall be responsible for the stamp duty payable thereof.

If the Vendor fails to complete the Acquisition for whatsoever reason (other than due to the Purchaser’s default), the Vendor shall immediately refund to the Purchaser the Deposit and also pay to the Purchaser a sum equivalent to the amount of the Deposit as liquidated damages and the Purchaser shall not take any further action to claim for damages or to enforce specific performance. The Vendor shall be responsible for the stamp duty payable thereof.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the conditions precedent to the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement had been fulfilled.

Discharge of mortgage

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Properties have been mortgaged to Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited to secure a facility of HK$9.90 million provided to the Vendor by the bank. Based on the information provided by the Vendor, there is no outstanding balance owed by the Vendor to the bank as at the Latest Practicable Date.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Completion

Subject to the fulfillment of all the conditions of the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement, a formal sale and purchase agreement will be entered into between the Purchaser and the Vendor on or before 30 July 2021 and the completion shall take place on or before 31 August 2021, or such later date as the Purchaser and the Vendor may agree in writing. The Vendor shall deliver the Properties and transfer the Rental Deposit to the Purchaser upon completion.

New tenancy

On 21 May 2021, a tenancy agreement was entered into between the Vendor and an Independent Third Party to lease the Remaining Units with a term commencing from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2024 (both days inclusive) at a monthly rental income of HK$47,064. A rental deposit of HK$189,321 was paid by the Independent Third Party tenant to the Vendor. It is currently intended that, upon the completion of the Acquisition, the Remaining Units will be continued to be rented out by the Group while the Self-use Units will be utilised by the Group as repair centre.

Based on the information provided by the Vendor, the total rental income derived from the Properties in the two financial years ended 31 March 2020 and 31 March 2021 was approximately HK$1.83 million and HK$1.83 million respectively. As the Group intends to lease out the Remaining Units after completion, based on the information provided by the Vendor, the net rental income generated from the Remaining Units before and after taxation taking into account all related disbursement such as expenses for managing the property and allowance to maintain it in a condition to command its rents were approximately HK$0.82 million and HK$0.68 million for the year ended 31 March 2020 and were approximately HK$0.82 million and HK$0.68 million for the year ended 31 March 2021 respectively.

3. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Group is a well-established repair and refurbishment service provider in Hong Kong. Its repair and refurbishment services cover mobile phones, pagers, two-way mobile data communication devices, personal computers, tablet computers, video game consoles and handheld game consoles, and it also sells related accessories and products.

The Group has been operating repair centre at most of the Properties since 1 September 2007 up to the Latest Practicable Date. The Directors believe that the Group has established its network of customers around the area of Ginza Plaza over the years.

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company in relation to the transfer of listing from GEM to the Main Board of the Stock Exchange dated 16 March 2018, the Company has been reserving approximately HK$13.4 million of the net proceeds from the GEM Listing for the acquisition of a commercial property in Hong Kong for use as a repair centre. Such amount of net proceeds will be utilised in satisfying part of the Consideration.

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Acquisition is beneficial for the Group as it would (i) benefit the Group’s financial position by reducing its rental expenses; (ii) reduce the sensitivity of the Group’s operating performance to the fluctuation in the market rate of rental of commercial properties at prime locations in Hong Kong; (iii) save the Group’s time and cost in identifying a new premises and renovating the new premises to the standard fit for the Group’s purpose; (iv) secure the Group’s presence of operation at prime location, which will strengthen the confidence of the corporate customers on the Group. At the same time, the new tenancy of the Remaining Units would strengthen the Group’s income and cash flow. Save for the reduction in fund flow, the Acquisition has no disadvantages to the Group.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has no intention or plan to acquire new businesses or dispose of its existing businesses.

Based on the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Acquisition are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Cheung Brothers, namely Mr. Cheung King Shek, Mr. Cheung King Shan, Mr. Cheung King Chuen Bobby and Mr. Cheung King Fung Sunny, who have material interest in the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement, have abstained from voting on the board resolutions of the Company approving the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder due to conflict of interest.

4. FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ACQUISITION ON THE GROUP

Based on the ‘‘Unaudited Pro Forma Assets and Liabilities of the Group’’ as set out in Appendix III to this circular, the unaudited pro forma consolidated non-current assets of the Group as at 30 September 2020 would be increased by approximately HK$56.8 million to approximately HK$59.1 million upon completion of the Acquisition, assuming that the Acquisition had taken place on 30 September 2020. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma consolidated current assets would be decreased by approximately HK$56.9 million to approximately HK$45.8 million and the unaudited pro forma consolidated current liabilities would be increased by approximately HK$189,000 to approximately HK$8.1 million. The unaudited pro forma consolidated net current assets would also be decreased by approximately HK$57.0 million to approximately HK$37.7 million.

It is intended that, after Completion, the Remaining Units would be held for leasing to generate stable income in the future, and thus the Acquisition is expected to have positive effect on the Group’s future earnings in the long run. Based on the information available to the Group (including the expected rental income of the Remaining Units, profits tax arising thereto and rental savings), the Group expects to achieve an earnings of approximately HK$473,000 per annum.

6. IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

The Vendor is indirectly wholly-owned by the Cheung Family Trust, which indirectly holds 51.43% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date. As such, the Vendor is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Acquisition constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting, announcement and the Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

An Independent Board Committee, comprising namely Mr. Fong Ping, Ms. Kwok Yuen Man Marisa and Mr. Tso Ka Yi, being all the independent non-executive Directors, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders on whether the terms of the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and to advise the Independent Shareholders on how to vote in respect of the resolutions to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

Dear Sirs,

MAJOR AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO ACQUISITION OF PROPERTIES

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our engagement as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Acquisition, details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the ‘‘Letter from the Board’’) contained in the circular of the Company dated 25 June 2021 (the ‘‘Circular’’), of which this letter of advice forms part. Unless the context requires otherwise, capitalised terms used in this letter of advice shall have the same meanings as defined in the Circular.

References are made to (i) the announcement of the Company dated 25 May 2021 in relation to, among other things, the Acquisition (the ‘‘Announcement’’); and (ii) the Circular. On 25 May 2021, after trading hours, the Purchaser, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and the Vendor entered into the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Purchaser conditionally agreed to purchase and the Vendor conditionally agreed to sell the Properties at the Consideration of HK$54,400,000.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition exceed 25% but are less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting, announcement and the Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Vendor is indirectly wholly-owned by the Cheung Family Trust, which indirectly holds 51.43% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date. As such, the Vendor is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Acquisition constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting, announcement and the Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

THE INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE AND INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

An Independent Board Committee, comprising namely Mr. Fong Ping, Ms. Kwok Yuen Man Marisa and Mr. Tso Ka Yi, being all the independent non-executive Directors, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders on whether the terms of the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and to advise the Independent Shareholders on how to vote in respect of the resolutions to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. We, Red Solar Capital Limited, have been appointed with the approval of the Independent Board Committee as the Independent Financial Adviser to provide advice and recommendation to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in the same regard and on how to vote at the EGM.

OUR INDEPENDENCE

During the past two years immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date, save for this engagement of us as the Independent Financial Adviser, no other relationship has been formed and no direct engagement has been performed between the Group, the other party(ies) to the Acquisition, or a close associate or core connected person of any of them and us. As at the Latest Practicable Date, we did not have any relationship with, or interest in, the Group, the Vendor or other parties that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to our independence. Apart from the normal advisory fee payable to us in connection with our engagement as the Independent Financial Adviser, no arrangement exists whereby we shall receive any other fees or benefits from the Company and its subsidiaries or their respective substantial shareholders or any party acting in concert, or presumed to be acting in concert, with any of them. Accordingly, we considered that we are independent to act as the Independent Financial Adviser in respect of the Acquisition pursuant to Rule 13.84 of the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Comparison between FY2019 and FY2020 and performance highlights

The Group is engaged in a single segment, the provision of repair and refurbishment services for mobile phones and other personal electronic products as well as the sales of related accessories and provision of supportive services.

The Group’s revenue decreased by approximately HK$21.67 million, or approximately 32.8%, from approximately HK$65.99 million for FY2019 to approximately HK$44.32 million for FY2020. As set out in the 2020 Annual Report, such decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in repair jobs of the Group despite that the Group’s revenue generated from sales of accessories and provision of supportive services increased by approximately HK$0.16 million.

The Group’s decrease in revenue in FY2020 was partially compensated by decreases in its net other operating expenses and administrative expenses in the same year. Overall, the Group was able to maintain a profit for the year of approximately HK$2.51 million for FY2020, when compared with that of approximately HK$9.40 million for FY2019.

Comparison between 6M2020 and 6M2021 and performance highlights

The Group’s revenue decreased by approximately HK$3.13 million, or approximately 12.8%, from approximately HK$24.43 million for 6M2020 to approximately HK$21.30 million for 6M2021. The Company considered that such decrease was primarily caused by economic setbacks and a challenging operating environment brought by the COVID-19 outbreak and the resulting anti-epidemic measures such as social distancing and mandatory suspension of business at public premises during the relevant period.

Nonetheless, with the Government’s subsidies granted to the Group, the Group managed to record a profit for 6M2021 of approximately HK$5.12 million, representing a growth by approximately HK$1.85 million when compared with that of approximately HK$3.26 million for 6M2020. Disregarding the amount of the Government’s subsidies granted to the Group during 6M2021 of approximately HK$2.59 million as set out in the 2021 Interim Report, the Group would have still recorded a net profit of approximately HK$2.53 million for 6M2021.

Prospects

As reflected in the 2020 Annual Report and 2021 Interim Report, the management of the Company will monitor the challenges and uncertainty brought by the COVID-19 and the resulting changes in the economy and market environment. The Group will continue to enhance its service quality and explore opportunities to deliver different kinds of value-added services, such as the mobile phone screen protection programme which received positive feedback from customers and protection programme for other mobile phone components. Besides delivering value-added services, the Group will also continue to examine

– 22 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

new investment opportunities that could expand sources of income. The Group will adhere to its diversification strategy, which aims at better identifying new services and revenue streams to respond to the rapidly-changing business environment, so as to create synergies with its core business. While actively examining potential opportunities that could generate synergies with its core business and bring new revenue sources, it will always operate in a prudent and judicious manner with detailed planning and evaluation.

(b) Reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the Properties comprise Units 1201–1203 and Units 1205–1206 on 12th Floor, Ginza Plaza, No. 2A Sai Yeung Choi Street South, Kowloon, Hong Kong, which are commercial properties subject to mortgage. The gross floor area of the Properties is approximately 4,357 square feet.

The Properties had been leased to the Group by the Vendor as repair centre during the period from 1 September 2007 to 31 March 2021. On 1 April 2021, the Group has entered into a new tenancy to lease the Self-use Units from the Vendor for a term of one year commencing from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022 at a monthly rental of HK$57,504. The Remaining Units has been leased by the Vendor to an Independent Third Party with a term of three years commencing from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2024 at a monthly rental of HK$47,064.

It is currently intended that, upon the completion of the Acquisition, the Remaining Units will be continued to be rented out by the Group while the Self-use Units will be utilised by the Group as repair centre.

The Acquisition, for the part of the Self-use Units, is in line with the Group’s future plans since its listing on GEM of the Stock Exchange and beneficial to the Group

Reference is made to the prospectus of the Company dated 23 May 2013 (the ‘‘Prospectus’’). Since its listing on GEM of the Stock Exchange in 2013, the Group has been operating customer service centres for its business of providing repair and refurbishment services on personal electronic products in various locations. In this relation, as set out in the section headed ‘‘Future Plans and Use of Proceeds’’ (the ‘‘Section’’) in the Prospectus, the Group intended to acquire a commercial property comprising one or two units with an expected gross floor area of 1,800 to 2,500 square feet at Ginza Plaza in Mongkok for use as a customer service centre of the Group.

We have enquired with both the Company and the Valuer, and understood that the Self- use Units have a gross floor area of approximately 2,396 square feet, which falls within the expected range of gross floor area of 1,800 to 2,500 square feet regarding the commercial property the Group intended to acquire as discussed above. As such, we considered that the Acquisition, for the part of the Self-use Units, is consistent with the Group’s future plans as stated in the Section.

– 23 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

In addition, as also set out in the Section, the Directors expected that the planned acquisition of a commercial property at a prime location in Hong Kong will (i) benefit the Group’s financial position by reducing its rental expenses; (ii) reduce the sensitivity of the Group’s operating performance to the fluctuation in the market rate of rental of commercial properties at prime locations in Hong Kong; (iii) secure the Group’s presence of operation at prime location, which will strengthen the confidence of the corporate customers on the Group; and (iv) minimise other parties’ concern about reliance on the leasing of premises by the Group from the controlling shareholders of the Company.

In this relation, we noted that the Self-use Units will continue to be utilised by the Group as repair centre after completion of the Acquisition, and that the monthly rental of HK$57,504 under the new tenancy between the Vendor and the Group dated 1 April 2021 could be saved by the Group thereafter. Moreover, we also considered that such savings in the rental expenses of the Group could reduce the sensitivity of the Group’s financial performance to rental expenses, and bring observable improvement to the same, especially amid the current economic setbacks in Hong Kong due to the COVID-19 outbreak. As such, we considered that the Acquisition, for the part of the Self-use Units, is in line with the Directors’ expectation numbered (i) and (ii) in the previous paragraph.

We also noted that Ginza Plaza, where the Self-use Units locate at, has been the location of the Group’s certain customer service centres since before its listing up to the Latest Practicable Date, and it is already set out in the Section that Ginza Plaza is an intended prime location in Hong Kong wherein the Group planned to acquire a commercial property. We agreed that the Acquisition, for the part of the Self-use Units, allows the Group to keep its customer service centre and secure its presence of operation in the same location, which helps in strengthening the confidence of the Group’s customers. We also believed that it could reduce the reliance on the leasing of premises by the Group from the controlling shareholders of the Company. As such, we considered that the Acquisition, for the part of the Self-use Units, is in line with the Directors’ expectation numbered (iii) and (iv) in the above.

We further agree with the view of the Board set out in the Letter from the Board that the Acquisition, for the part of the Self-use Units, and the continuous utilisation of the same as the Group’s customer service centre would save the Group’s time and cost in identifying a new premise and renovating the new premises to the standard fit for the Group’s purpose.

The Acquisition, for the part of the Remaining Units, could bring additional source of income to the Group and be beneficial to the performance of the Group

As disclosed in the 2020 Interim Report, the Group recorded revenue of approximately HK$21.30 million for 6M2021, representing a decrease of approximately 12.8% when compared to that for 6M2020, amidst the economic setbacks in Hong Kong due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The Directors considered

– 24 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

that the Group should explore new revenue sources so as to minimise business risk and maximise return of Shareholders. Therefore, the Group has been reviewing various investment opportunities and considered that the Acquisition of the Properties will be a good opportunity for the Company to develop an additional source of revenue through property investment and rental proceeds and to strengthen the Company’s asset base, income and cashflow as well.

We noted that the Remaining Units have been leased by the Vendor to an Independent Third Party with a term of three years commencing from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2024 at a monthly rental of HK$47,064. We further noted that it is currently intended that, upon the completion of the Acquisition, the Remaining Units will be continued to be rented out by the Group.

Based on the information provided by the Vendor, the net rental income generated from the Remaining Units before and after taxation taking into account all related disbursement such as expenses for managing the property and allowance to maintain it in a condition to command its rents were approximately HK$0.82 million and HK$0.68 million for the year ended 31 March 2020 and were approximately HK$0.82 million and HK$0.68 million for the year ended 31 March 2021 respectively.

Having considered that the Remaining Units have already been leased to an Independent Third Party with a term of three years up to 30 June 2024 at a monthly rental of HK$47,064, and it is currently intended that the Remaining Units will be continued to be rented out by the Group upon completion of the Acquisition, we were of the view that the Acquisition, for the part of the Remaining Units, represents an additional stream of revenue to the Group, assuming completion of the Acquisition and commencement of the relevant lease agreement. We further considered that such additional stream of income could help improve the financial performance of the Group.

The Acquisition, overall, is a justifiable investment decision

With reference to the Letter form the Board, the Board has also considered the future prospects of the property market in Hong Kong in respect of the Acquisition.

In this relation, we have also conducted our research on the trend of average market price and rent of comparable buildings in Hong Kong. We have focused on the Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei District, which are in the proximity of the Properties, and identified office buildings which fall under the category of grade B and grade C private offices classified by the Rating and Valuation Department of the Government of Hong Kong (the ‘‘Department’’), which is also generally adopted by property agencies. We have opted out grade A private offices under the classification by the Department as we considered that the Properties do not fit the requirements and characteristics of grade A private offices, including but not limited to the availability of car park within the same premises.

– 25 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The following graphs illustrate the trend of average market price and rent of grade B and grade C private offices in Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei District from the first quarter (‘‘Q1’’) of 2016 to Q1 of 2021 as released by the Department. The review period of approximately five years, starting from 2016, is selected on the basis that it provides a reasonable timeframe to analyse the market trend in Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei District up to the latest quarterly information available of 2021.

Note: Shareholders should also note that the indices represent the general market trend of the private office property in Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei District and the individual property price will depend on various other factors such as the floor, view, size, and conditions, etc.

As illustrated above, the rental level of grade B and grade C private offices in Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei District has increased from approximately HK$430 per square meter per month in Q1 of 2016 to the peak of approximately HK$492 per square meter per month reached in the third quarter (‘‘Q3’’) of 2019. Subsequently, the rental level of grade B and grade C private offices in Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei District continuously decreased to approximately HK$436 per square meter per month in Q1 of 2021. Similar trend was observed in the average market price level of grade B and grade C private offices in Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei District, which increased from approximately HK166,658 per square

meter in Q1 of 2016 to the peak of approximately HK$189,692 per square meter in Q3 of 2018, followed by a subsequent down trend reaching approximately HK$166,496 per square meter in Q1 of 2021.

We considered that the decreasing trend illustrated in the graphs above on the average market price and rent of grade B and grade C private office properties since around 2019 could be attributed to the social unrest and the COVID-19 pandemic at the material time. Nonetheless, we considered that such negative factors have been relieved recently, and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we were not aware of other factors which may have negative impact on the market price and rent of commercial properties in the long run. Alternatively, we noted that in August 2020, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority relaxed the countercyclical macroprudential measures for mortgage loans on non-residential properties, where the applicable loan-to-value ratio caps for mortgage loans on non-residential properties were adjusted upward by 10 percentage points, from 40 percent to 50 percent for general cases. We believe that such measure may have a positive effect on the commercial property market in the long run. As such, we considered that the Acquisition represents an opportunity for the Group to invest in the Properties at a relatively more favourable price which have potentials for value gain in the future, and therefore is justifiable.

We have also assessed the cash settlement method of the Consideration. As disclosed in the 2021 Interim Report, the Group had bank balance and cash of approximately HK$91.9 million as at 30 September 2020, which we considered sufficient for settling the Consideration without having material adverse impact on the Group’s operational funding needs. We also concur with the view of the Directors that settling the Consideration fully in cash could maximize the interest of the Shareholders and put the Group in a position to better equip itself for the long term business development of the Group when compared with settlement by debt financing or equity financing because (i) no interest burden will be created; (ii) the Group’s liabilities and gearing ratio will not increase; and (iii) there will be no dilution of the interest of the existing Shareholders.

Having considered all the above factor regarding the Acquisition, including but not limited to (i) it is in line with the Group’s future plans at the material time of its listing as set out in the Section; (ii) the intended utilisation of the Self-use Units by the Group upon completion of the Acquisition could save its rental expenses and have positive impact on the Group’s financial performance, save the Group’s time and cost in identifying a new premises and renovating the new premises to the standard fit for the Group’s purpose, and help secure the Group’s presence of operation at the current prime location, which will strengthen the confidence of the corporate customers on the Group; (iii) upon completion of the Acquisition, the rental income to be generated from the Remaining Units represents an additional income stream of the Group, helps the Group to diversify its income source, and also has positive impact on the Group’s financial performance; (iv) the Acquisition represents an opportunity for the Group to invest in the Properties at a relatively more favourable price which have potentials

for value gain in the future; and (v) the cash settlement of the Consideration is considered beneficial to the Shareholders and the Company as a whole, we are of the view that the Acquisition is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned, and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Consideration

The Consideration for acquiring the Properties is HK$54,400,000, which shall be payable by the Purchaser to the Vendor in the following manner:

  • (a) HK$5,440,000, representing 10% of the Consideration as deposit (the ‘‘Deposit’’) payable upon signing of the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement; and

  • (b) HK$48,960,000, representing the remaining 90% of the Consideration payable upon completion of the Acquisition.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Deposit has already been paid by the Company.

All stamp duty (including buyer’s stamp duty and/or ad valorem stamp duty) shall be borne by the Purchaser. It is estimated that the acquisition cost of the Properties together with the stamp duty will be approximately HK$56,772,000.

  • (a) Basis of determination of the Consideration by the Board

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Purchaser and the Vendor with reference to, among other things, the preliminary property valuation on the Properties in the amount of HK$54,400,000 carried out by the Valuer as at 30 April 2021 and the prices of commercial properties in the vicinity of the Properties. In valuing the Properties, the Valuer adopted an investment method whereby the rent receivable during the residual period of the existing tenancy is capitalised at an appropriate capitalisation rate with due allowance for the reversionary interests after expiry of the tenancy. For reversionary value of the Properties, the Valuer has mainly made reference to sales of comparable properties with similar character and location.

Taken into account of (i) the valuation of the Properties by the Valuer; (ii) the rental income receivable from the Properties; (iii) the future prospect of the property market in Hong Kong, and considering the benefits of the Acquisition as set out in the section headed ‘‘3. Reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition’’ in the Circular, the Directors (including independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Company intends to satisfy the Consideration by utilising HK$13,400,000 of the net proceeds from the GEM Listing and the remaining HK$35,560,000 by the internal resources of the Group.

  • (b) Our due diligence work on the Valuer

We have interviewed the Valuer and conducted an enquiry into their experiences and qualifications. According to our interview and the information provided by the Valuer, we noted that Ms. Yuki Chan is (i) a general practice surveyor; (ii) a fellow member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors; (iii) a fellow member of The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors, with over 10 years of experience in property valuation in Hong Kong and various location. Mr. Jeff Liu is (i) a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and (ii) a member of The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors, with over 24 years of experience in property valuation in Hong Kong and various location.

We also confirmed with the Valuer that it is not the Company’s subsidiary or holding company or a subsidiary of the Company’s holding company or any of its partners, directors or officers, is not an officer or servant or proposed director of the Company or the Company’s subsidiary or holding company or of a subsidiary of the Company’s holding company or any associated company. The Valuer also confirmed that they are independent to the Group and the Vendor.

For our due diligence purpose, we have also reviewed and enquired into (i) the terms of engagement of the Valuer with the Company; (ii) the Valuer’s qualification in relation to the preparation of the Valuation Report; and (iii) the steps and due diligence measures taken by the Valuer for preparing the Valuation Report. From the mandate letter and other relevant information provided by the Valuer and based on our interview with them, we were satisfied with the terms of engagement of the Valuer as well as their qualification for preparation of the Valuation Report.

With respect to the steps and due diligence measures taken by the Valuer in performing the valuation, we note that the Valuer mainly carried out its due diligence through on-site inspection, internal background check and conducted its own research on the key parameters adopted in the valuation. We noted the scope of work performed by the Valuer is consistent with the market practice and appropriate to give the opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any limitations on the scope of work which might have a negative impact on the degree of assurance given by the Valuation Report.

In light of the above, we are not aware of any matters that would cause us to question the Valuer’s expertise and independence and we consider that the Valuer has sufficient expertise and is independent to perform the valuation.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  • (c) Our analysis on the basis of determination of the Consideration

To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Consideration, we obtained the Valuation Report prepared by the Valuer. With reference to the Valuation Report, the Valuer is of the opinion that the estimated value of the Properties as at the valuation date (i.e. 30 April 2021) would be HK$54,400,000. In performing the valuation, the key assumptions adopted by the Valuer include: (i) the owner sells the real property interest on the open market in its existing state without the benefit of any deferred terms contracts, leaseback, joint ventures, management agreements or any similar arrangement which would serve to affect the value of the real property interest; (ii) the owner of the real property has free and uninterrupted rights to use, transfer or lease the real property for the whole of the unexpired term of the government lease/conditions of exchange; (iii) the real property can be freely disposed of, transferred and leased to third parties on the open market without any additional payment to the relevant government authorities; and (iv) all applicable zoning and use regulations and restrictions have been complied with unless nonconformity has been stated, defined, and considered in the valuation report as set out in Appendix IV to the Circular. We considered the key assumptions adopted by the Valuer in the Valuation Report to be normal and ordinary assumptions commonly seen in valuation reports.

The Valuation Report was prepared by the Valuer by adopting investment method for Leased Units and Self-use Units in determining the fair value of the Properties, as disclosed above. According to our interview with the Valuer, we understand that (i) since the rental income of the Properties is derived from the existing tenancies, with due allowance for the reversionary interests after expiry of the tenancy; and (ii) the investment method is a commonly adopted approach for valuation of properties which are under existing tenancies. By considering the above reasons, the Valuer advises that the investment method was considered the most appropriate approach in conducting the valuation on the Properties.

According to the Valuer, the investment method is undertaken by capitalising the total rent receivable during the residual period of the existing tenancy at appropriate capitalisation rate with due allowance for the reversionary interests after expiry of the tenancy. For reversionary value of the Properties, the Valuer has mainly made reference to sales of comparable properties with similar character and location. As the Properties are currently let to retail tenants, we therefore consider that the valuation methodology, bases and assumptions adopted in relation to the appraisal of the Properties by the Valuer are reasonable and in line with market practice.

We have enquired with the Valuer and conducted due diligence on their calculation towards the valuation of the Properties. We noted that the Valuer has indeed based their calculation on the rent receivable under the Self-use Units and Remaining Units, respectively, during the residual period of the respective existing tenancy. We have further examined the other parameters adopted by the Valuer during the calculation, including term or market yield, years purchase and present value, and considered them to be ordinary and commonly used parameters in valuation report. In addition, we have studied the term yield of 2.1% applicable on the residual rent

– 33 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

receivable under the Self-use Units and Remaining Units, respectively, and the market yield of 2.6% applicable on the reversionary interests after expiry of the tenancy, used by the Valuer, which are the respective capitalisation rates of calculating years purchase and present value of the same. In this respect, we understood that the Valuer has made reference to the market figure of 2.6%, being property market yields of Grade B offices, in March 2021. We considered that it is fair and reasonable to make reference to general market yields of Grade B offices which is similar to the Properties, and that market figure in March 2021 is sufficiently close to the valuation date of the Properties and is a meaningful reference. Moreover, we considered it fair and reasonable for the Valuer to apply a market yield of 2.6%, which is equivalent to the aforesaid market figure, on the reversionary interests after expiry of the tenancy. Regarding the use of a term yield of 2.1% on the residual rent receivable under the Self-use Units and Remaining Units, respectively, which is lower than the aforesaid market figure, we have enquired with the Valuer and understood that the downward adjustment was made to reflect the fact that investments in the Properties have been secured by the current leases, which we considered justifiable. Based on all the above, we considered that the calculation done by the Valuer for the valuation of the Properties, as well as the parameters used in the course of such calculation, are fair and reasonable. Details of the 5 comparable transactions are as follows:

Wealth Mongkok
Development Name Commercial Centre Harbour Centre Ginza Plaza
Completion Year 1993 1997 1996
Date of Transaction March 2021 February 2021 June 2019
Approx. Unit Rate on HK$15,000–HK$16,000 HK$17,000 HK$21,000
saleable area (per sq.ft.)
The approximate unit 17,700
rate on saleable area
under Acquisition

Considering that (i) two of the comparable transactions were located at Ginza Plaza, which is the same as the Properties; (ii) the remaining three comparable transactions were located in Mong Kok, the district where the Properties situates; (iii) all the comparable transactions were Grade B commercial buildings which is the same as that of the Properties; (iv) the completion years of the commercial buildings under the comparable transactions are close to that of the Properties, and thus they have similar conditions, we were of the view that the comparable transactions are indeed comparable in respect of the Acquisition of the Properties.

– 34 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Further, we have discussed with the valuer on its selection criteria of comparable market transactions in determining the reversionary value of the Properties and noted that the selection criteria for the comparable market transactions are of similar character and location with the Properties and carefully weighed against all the respective advantages and disadvantages of the Properties. We note that the prices of comparable transactions were adjusted where the valuer considered appropriate based on the differences in time, location, quality of the properties and floor between the comparable properties and the Properties. Eventually, 5 comparable transactions for the valuation of the Properties were identified by the valuer, which are exhaustive and were transacted between 2019 and 2021. Therefore, we consider the selection basis of the said comparable transactions for reversionary value is fair and reasonable.

As set out in the Valuation Report, in arriving at the market value of the Properties, the valuer complied with all the requirements contained in (i) Chapter 5 of the Listing Rules in relation to guidelines to valuation of and information on properties; and (ii) The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (the ‘‘HKIS’’) Valuation Standards (2020 Edition) published by the HKIS.

Having considered (i) the valuer is qualified with extensive valuation experience in properties valuation; (ii) the scope of work and the terms of engagement of the valuer are satisfactory; (iii) the basis and the assumption of valuation are reasonable; (iv) the calculation for the valuation of the Properties and the parameters used therein are considered fair and reasonable; and (v) the selected comparable transactions are reasonable and sufficient, we are of the view that the valuation of the Properties is fair and reasonable.

Based on and in addition to our independent work performed on the Valuation Report and the valuation of the Properties contained therein, we are of the view that (i) the selected comparable transactions reflect the market value of the properties which are comparable to the Properties; (ii) the valuation of the Properties has been made with reference to the market value of the properties comparable to the Properties; (iii) the valuation of the Properties, which is fair and reasonable as discussed previously, thus also reflects the market value of the Properties. We further consider that it is fair and reasonable for the Company to acquire the Properties at its market value, being the valuation of the Properties. As a result, we are of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

4. WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors are of the opinion that, taking into account the financial resources available to the Group including the internally generated funds and the present available bank facilities, and taking into account the impact of the Acquisition, the working capital available to the Group is sufficient for the Group’s requirements for at least 12 months from the date of this circular.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

The Group principally engages in providing repair and refurbishment service for mobile phones and consumer electronic devices. Such services are offered to corporate customers, telecommunications services providers and global services companies. There is no change in the Group’s principal business since 31 March 2020, being the date on which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were made up, and there is not expected to be any change to the Group’s principal business as a result of completion of the Acquisition.

As stated in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standards, the Group recorded revenue of approximately HK$21,298,000, representing a decrease of approximately 12.8% as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. However, with the support from the Government’s subsidies, the net profit increased 56.8% from approximately HK$3,263,000 to approximately HK$5,116,000.

During the period, Hong Kong experienced one of its worst economic setbacks due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Anti-epidemic measures such as social distancing and mandatory suspension of business at public premises resulted in a challenging operating environment which introduced uncertainties to the market. This is reflected by a decline in sales and global shipments of mobile phones and other electronic devices. Consequently, the Group’s income from the provision of repairing services were inevitable affected and has recorded a decrease of approximately 24.9% as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. Nevertheless, the new mobile phone screen protection programme launched by the Group in July 2019 was well received by the market and has among others, contributed to an increase of revenue from sales of accessories and provision of supportive services of approximately HK$2,792,000 and a growth of 458.5% as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year respectively.

While it is expected that the local economy and market environment will remain highly challenging and uncertain for the remaining year due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, the Group will continue to explore other business and investment opportunities that are able to generate synergies with the Group’s core business activities. In particular, the Group will examine smartphone protection programmes associated with other smartphone components so that additional revenue streams can be created. The Group will also promptly respond to the rapidly changing market conditions in order to protect the Group’s market position, as well as to be well prepared for capitalising on a turnaround as it

  • B. INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

==> picture [126 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

25 June 2021

The Board of Directors Telecom Service One Holdings Limited

Dear Sirs,

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of pro forma financial information of Telecom Service One Holdings Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the ‘‘Group’’) by the directors of the Company for illustrative purposes only. The pro forma financial information consists of the pro forma statement of assets and liabilities as at 30 September 2020 (the ‘‘Statement’’) as set out on pages III-1 to III-3 of the investment circular issued by the Company. The applicable criteria on the basis of which the directors have compiled the Statement are described on pages III-1 to III-3.

The Statement has been compiled by the directors to illustrate the impact of the proposed acquisition of properties on the Group’s financial position as at 30 September 2020 as if the transaction had been taken place at 30 September 2020. As part of this process, information about the Group’s financial position has been extracted by the directors from the Group’s condensed financial statements as included in the interim report for the six months ended 30 September 2020, on which no audit or review report has been published.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Pro Forma Financial Information

The directors are responsible for compiling the Statement in accordance with paragraph 29 of Chapter 4 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Listing Rules’’) and with reference to Accounting Guideline (‘‘AG’’) 7 ‘‘Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the ‘‘HKICPA’’).

Our Independence and Quality Control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirement of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the HKICPA, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior.

– III-4 –

APPENDIX III

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE GROUP

The firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Reporting Accountant’s Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 29(7) of Chapter 4 of the Listing Rules, on the Statement and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the Statement beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3420 ‘‘Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus’’ issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountant plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the directors have compiled the Statement in accordance with paragraph 29 of Chapter 4 of the Listing Rules and with reference to AG 7 ‘‘Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars’’ issued by the HKICPA.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the Statement, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the Statement.

The purpose of the Statement included in an investment circular is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the Group as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the event or transaction at 30 September 2020 would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the Statement has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the directors in the compilation of the Statement provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

  • . The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and

  • . The Statement reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

– III-5 –

APPENDIX III

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE GROUP

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant’s judgment, having regard to the reporting accountant’s understanding of the nature of the Group, the event or transaction in respect of which the Statement has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the Statement.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion:

  • (a) the Statement has been properly compiled on the basis stated;

  • (b) such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group; and

  • (c) the adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the Statement as disclosed pursuant to paragraph 29(1) of Chapter 4 of the Listing Rules.

VALUATION REPORT

The following is the text of a letter and a valuation certificate prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this circular received from Greater China Appraisal Limited, an independent valuer, in connection with their valuation as at 30 April 2021 of the Properties.

Room 2709, 27/F Shui On Centre 6–8 Harbour Road Wanchai, Hong Kong

25 June 2021

The Board of Directors Telecom Service One Holdings Limited Unit 2, 2/F, Shun Fat Industrial Building No. 17 Wang Hoi Road Kowloon Bay, Kowloon Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

Re: Valuation of Office Units 1201 – 1203, 1205 and 1206 on 12th Floor, Ginza Plaza, No. 2A Sai Yeung Choi Street South, Mongkok, Kowloon, Hong Kong (the ‘‘Real Property’’)

In accordance with the instruction from Telecom Service One Holdings Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) for us to value the Real Property to be acquired by the Company in Hong Kong, details of which are provided in the enclosed valuation certificate, we confirm that we have carried out inspection, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of the Real Property as at 30 April 2021 (referred to as the ‘‘valuation date’’).

This letter which forms part of our valuation report explains the basis and methodology of valuation, and clarifies our assumptions made, title investigation of the Real Property and the limiting conditions.

– IV-1 –

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT

I. BASIS OF VALUATION

The valuation is our opinion of the market value which we would define as intended to mean ‘‘the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion’’.

Market value is understood as the value of an asset or liability estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase (or transaction) and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.

II. VALUATION METHODOLOGY

In valuing the Real Property which is leased out, we have adopted the investment method whereby the rent receivable during the residual period of the existing tenancy is capitalised at an appropriate capitalisation rate with due allowance for the reversionary interests after expiry of the tenancy.

III. ASSUMPTIONS

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the owner sells the real property interest on the open market in its existing state without the benefit of any deferred terms contracts, leaseback, joint ventures, management agreements or any similar arrangement which would serve to affect the value of the real property interest.

For the real property which is held under a long-term government lease, we have assumed that the owner of the real property has free and uninterrupted rights to use, transfer or lease the real property for the whole of the unexpired term of the government lease/Conditions of Exchange. In our valuation, we have assumed that the real property can be freely disposed of, transferred and leased to third parties on the open market without any additional payment to the relevant government authorities.

All applicable zoning and use regulations and restrictions have been complied with unless nonconformity has been stated, defined, and considered in the valuation report.

Other specific assumptions in relation to the Real Property, if any, have been stated out in the footnotes of the valuation certificate.

IV. TITLESHIP INVESTIGATION

We have caused searches made at the Land Registry in Hong Kong in respect of the real property interest. However, we have not searched the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain the existence of any amendments which do not appear on the copy handed to us.

– IV-2 –

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT

All legal documents disclosed in this report, if any, are for reference only and no responsibility is assumed for any legal matters concerning the legal title to the real property interest set out in this report.

V. LIMITING CONDITIONS

We have not carried out detailed site measurements to verify the correctness of the areas in respect of the Real Property but have assumed that the areas shown on the relevant documents provided to us are correct. Based on our experience of valuation of similar real properties, we consider the assumptions so made to be reasonable. All documents have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations.

We have inspected the Real Property. However, no structural survey has been made and we are therefore unable to report as to whether the Real Property is free from rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services. Having examined all relevant documentation, we have relied to a very considerable extent on the information provided by you and have accepted advice given to us on such matters, as relevant, as planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, tenure, occupation, tenancy, rentals, and floor areas and in the identification of the Real Property. No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the real property valued nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the real property interest is free of encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect its value.

The outbreak of COVID-19, declared by the World Health Organisation as a ’’Global Pandemic’’ on the 11th March 2020 has and continues to impact many aspects of daily life and the global economy — with some real estate markets having experienced lower levels of transactional activity and liquidity. Travel, movement and operational restrictions have been implemented by many countries. In some cases, ‘‘lockdowns’’ have been applied to varying degrees and to reflect further ‘‘waves’’ of COVID-19; although these may imply a new stage of the crisis, they are not unprecedented in the same way as the initial impact.

The pandemic and the measures taken to tackle COVID-19 continue to affect economies and real estate markets globally. Nevertheless, as at the valuation date, property markets are mostly functioning again. However, we remain cautious due to uncertainty for the pace of the economic recovery, therefore, we recommended that the valuation of the real property should be under frequent review.

VI. OPINION OF VALUE

Our opinion of the market value of the Real Property is set out in the attached valuation certificate.

– IV-3 –

APPENDIX IV

VALUATION REPORT

VII. REMARKS

Our valuation has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted valuation procedures and in compliance with the requirements contained in Chapter 5 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

Our valuation has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted valuation procedures and in compliance with the requirements contained in the HKIS Valuation Standards (2020 Edition) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.
