LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDATION
Having taken into account the terms of the Offer, the advice and recommendation from the Joint Independent Financial Advisers together with the principal factors and reasons taken into account in arriving at their recommendation, we are of the opinion that the Offer is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and therefore we recommend the Independent Shareholders to accept the Offer.
The Independent Shareholders who wish to realise their investment in the Group are reminded that they should carefully and closely monitor the market price of the Shares during the Offer Period and consider selling their Shares in the open market during the Offer Period, rather than accepting the Offer, if the net proceeds from the sales of such Shares in the open market would exceed the net amount receivable under the Offer. In any event, the Independent Shareholders should note that there is no certainty that the current trading volume and/or current trading price level of the Shares will be sustainable during or after the Offer Period.
Notwithstanding our recommendation, the Independent Shareholders are strongly advised that the decision to realise or to hold their investment is subject to individual circumstances and investment objectives. If in doubt, the Independent Shareholders should consult their own professional advisers for professional advice.
Furthermore, the Independent Shareholders who wish to accept the Offer are recommended to read carefully the procedures for accepting the Offer as detailed in the Composite Document and the Form of Acceptance. If in any doubt, the Independent Shareholders should consult their own professional advisers for professional advice.
Yours faithfully,

LETTER FROM THE JOINT INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISERS
Immediately prior to Completion, the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties did not hold, own, control or have direction over any Shares in the share capital or voting rights of the Company. Immediately upon Completion, the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties are interested in 500,800,000 Shares, representing approximately 62.6% of the total issued shares of the Company. Pursuant to Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code, upon Completion, the Offeror is required to make a mandatory unconditional cash offer for all issued Shares (other than those already owned and/or agreed to be acquired by the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties). Lego Securities is, for and on behalf of the Offeror and in compliance with the Takeovers Code, making the Offer at the Offer Price of HK$0.19 per Offer Share in cash.
Pursuant to Rule 2.1 of the Takeovers Code, the Independent Board Committee, comprising three independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Tang Chi Wang, Mr. Tse Ting Kwan and Ms. Yeung Cheuk Chi Vivian, has been established by the Board to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether the Offer is fair and reasonable and as to acceptance of the Offer.
We, Cinda International Capital and Rainbow Capital, have been appointed as the Joint Independent Financial Advisers to advise the Independent Board Committee in the same regard and such appointment has been approved by the Independent Board Committee in accordance with Rule 2.1 of the Takeovers Code.
We are not associated or connected financially or otherwise with the Company, the Vendor, the Offeror, their respective substantial shareholders and professional advisers, or any party acting, or presumed to be acting, in concert with any of them. In the last two years prior to the commencement of the Offer Period, there was no engagement or connection between the Group, the Vendor, the Offeror, or the parties acting in concert with any of them on one hand and us on the other hand. Apart from normal professional fees payable to us in connection with this appointment, no arrangement exists whereby we will receive any fees or benefits from the Company, the Vendor, the Offeror, their respective substantial shareholders and financial or other professional advisers, or any party acting, or presumed to be acting, in concert with any of them. Accordingly, we are considered eligible to give independent advice to the Independent Board Committee in respect of the Offer.
BASIS OF OUR OPINION
In formulating our opinion and advice, we have considered, among other things, (i) the information and facts contained or referred to in this Composite Document; (ii) the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025 (the "2025 Annual Report") and the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2025 (the "2025 Interim Report"); (iii) the information and opinions provided by the Directors and the management of the Group; and (iv) our review of the relevant public information.

The Offer is unconditional in all respects. The Offer is extended to all Shares in issue other than those Shares held by the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties.

LETTER FROM THE JOINT INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISERS
PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED
In formulating our opinion and recommendation to the Independent Board Committee and Independent Shareholders with regard to the Offer, we have taken into account the following principal factors and reasons:
1. Background information of the Group
The Company is an investment holding company listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange. The Group is principally engaged in providing (i) building construction services, (ii) repair, maintenance, alteration and addition (“RMAA”) works and services and (iii) design and build services in Hong Kong.
The Group’s revenue is primarily generated from building construction services which accounted for approximately 92.3% and 93.3% of the Group’s revenue for the year ended 31 March 2025 and the six months ended 30 September 2025, respectively. In terms of the customers mix, 58.8% of the Group’s revenue for the year ended 31 March 2025 was derived from government departments, with the remaining 41.2% sourced from private customers. In terms of the geographical location, all of the Group’s revenue was generated in Hong Kong, based on the location where services were delivered. The Group recognized its revenue over time by reference to the progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation of the contracts with customers.
Set out below is a summary of the consolidated financial information of the Group for (i) the years ended 31 March 2024 and 2025 (“FY2024” and “FY2025”, respectively) as extracted from the 2025 Annual Report; and (ii) the six months ended 30 September 2024 and 2025 (“6M2025” and “6M2026”, respectively) as extracted from the 2025 Interim Report:

FY2025 as compared to FY2024
The Group's revenue increased moderately by approximately 55.1% from approximately HK$258.0 million for FY2024 to approximately HK$400.2 million for FY2025, primarily attributable to the increase in revenue from building construction services from approximately HK$188.9 million for FY2024 to approximately HK$369.5 million for FY2025, representing an increase of approximately HK$180.6 million or 95.6%. The increase was mainly driven by the progress of two major projects awarded in 2022 and 2023, which have entered the final stage of construction during FY2025. As works in the later stage of construction typically carry higher contract values, this resulted in a significant increase in recognised revenue during the period. The increase was partially offset by the decrease in revenue from RMAA works from approximately HK$43.9 million for FY2024 to approximately HK$30.1 million for FY2025, representing a decrease of approximately HK$13.8 million or approximately 31.4%.
LETTER FROM THE JOINT INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISERS
Although the Group recorded moderate increase in revenue, the Group's gross profit decreased by approximately 72.6% from approximately HK$30.2 million for FY2024 to approximately HK$8.3 million for FY2025, and the gross profit margin decreased from approximately 11.7% for FY2024 to approximately 2.1% for FY2025. The decline in profitability was primarily due to: (i) the lower overall gross profit recognized for certain projects awarded in 2022 and 2023 which carried limited tender margins amid intense market competition, (ii) an increase in staff and labour costs due to prolonged project duration, and (iii) a shortfall in the compensation received under the contract price fluctuation clause for public projects, as the actual amount certified and recoverable under the relevant contracts was lower than anticipated, giving rise to the shortfall.
The Group recorded a turnaround from profit attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$8.3 million for FY2024 to loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$51.4 million for FY2025. Such turnaround was primarily attributable to (i) the decrease in gross profit as explained above, (ii) the recognition of share of losses of joint ventures as a result of a decrease in the fair value of investment property held by a joint venture, and (iii) the increase in finance costs driven by higher interest rate and addition of bank borrowings for FY2025.
6M2026 as compared to 6M2025
The Group's revenue increased by approximately 44.1% from approximately HK$180.7 million for 6M2025 to approximately HK$260.3 million for 6M2026, primarily attributable to the increase in revenue from building construction services from approximately HK$164.8 million for 6M2025 to approximately HK$242.9 million for 6M2026, representing an increase of approximately HK$78.1 million or 47.4%. Similar to FY2025, the increase in revenue from building construction services in 6M2026 as compared to 6M2025 was mainly attributable to the progress of the aforementioned major projects, and was therefore driven by works progress during the period.
The Group's gross profit slightly increased by approximately 6.2% from approximately HK$4.5 million for 6M2025 to approximately HK$4.8 million for 6M2026, while the gross profit margin decreased from approximately 2.5% to approximately 1.8%. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily attributable to the increase in subcontracting costs and direct staff costs.
The Group's net loss attributable to owners of the Company increased by approximately 17.3% from approximately HK$13.8 million for 6M2025 to approximately HK$16.2 million for 6M2026. Such increase in loss was mainly attributable to the increase in the share of losses of joint ventures for 6M2026,
LETTER FROM THE JOINT INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISERS
primarily due to a one-off loss recognised by a joint venture, which was principally engaged in property investment and development arising from the disposal of its subsidiaries during the period.

| Equity attributable to owners of the Shareholders | 169,678 | 118,320 | 102,146 |
As at 30 September 2025, total assets of the Group amounted to approximately HK$388.3 million, which mainly consisted of (i) contract assets of approximately HK$110.9 million, (ii) interests in joint ventures of approximately HK$89.7 million, (iii) property, plant and equipment of approximately HK$87.1 million, (iv) trade and other receivables of approximately HK$44.1 million, and (v) cash and cash equivalents of approximately HK$39.3 million. The Group's contract assets mainly represent the Group's right to receive consideration for the work completed but not yet billed, as the rights are conditional upon the customers satisfaction and certification on the construction work completed by the Group. These assets are reclassified to trade receivables when the rights to payment become unconditional.
LETTER FROM THE JOINT INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISERS
As at 30 September 2025, total liabilities of the Group amounted to approximately HK$286.2 million, which mainly consisted of (i) bank borrowings of approximately HK$152.4 million and (ii) trade and other payables of approximately HK$126.0 million. Trade and other payables mainly represent amounts due to subcontractors and suppliers in relation to the Group's construction activities, while bank borrowings were utilized to finance the Group's working capital requirements in connection with its ongoing construction projects.
The Group recorded a net current liabilities of approximately HK$75.5 million and a gearing ratio of 155.1% (calculated as bank borrowings and lease liabilities divided by total equity) as at 30 September 2025. Based on the unaudited net asset value ("NAV") of the Group of approximately HK$102.1 million as at 30 September 2025 and 800,000,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, the unaudited NAV per Share was approximately HK$0.1277.
(iii) Business outlook and prospects of the Group
Despite the modest growth in revenue of the Group for FY2025, we are of the view that the prospects of the Group's business remain uncertain in the future, after taking into account the following factors:
Persistent Challenges in the Operating Environment
The Group is principally engaged in providing (i) building construction services, (ii) RMAA works and services and (iii) design and build services in Hong Kong.
As disclosed in the 2025 Annual Report and the 2025 Interim Report, despite moderate growth of Hong Kong's economy in 2025, private consumption and investment sentiment remained relatively subdued amid geopolitical tensions, evolving international trade policies and uncertainty over timing and pace of interest rate adjustments. The developers have adopted a more cautious approach to new private construction and the government's fiscal conditions came under significant pressure.
The construction industry in Hong Kong continues to face challenges, including shortages of skilled labour, an ageing workforce, rising wage level, fluctuating material prices, intense tender competition and the difficulty in securing financing. The longstanding industry issue of delayed payments has deteriorated further across the supply chain, leading to cash flow constraints during project execution, project disruptions or incidents of wage arrears.
- 37 -
LETTER FROM THE JOINT INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISERS
Amid such market conditions, the Company's revenue performance has been supported by government and government-funded capital works projects, while profitability has been adversely affected by (i) lower margins on projects awarded during highly competitive tender periods in 2022 and 2023, (ii) increases in labour and staff costs due to prolonged project duration, (iii) shortfalls in contract price fluctuation compensation, and (iv) delayed receipt of outstanding payment after project completion. As for more recent tender projects, such as the term contracts extended by the Buildings Department of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in June 2025, the number of work orders issued was lower than anticipated. This resulted in reduced revenue, while fixed costs remained largely unchanged, thereby further compressing profit margins. The Company has undertaken cost control and financial resilience measures, including organizational streamlining, workflow optimization, tighter budgetary controls, and selected asset divestments, while also investing in productivity and technology enhancement.
Looking ahead, the outlook for the construction sector in Hong Kong remains mixed and subject to macroeconomic and policy developments. Private sector construction demand is expected to remain relatively subdued in the near term due to continued weakness in the property market, high financing costs and cautious investment sentiment. Public sector works are expected to remain a key source of industry activity, supported by government initiatives in public housing and large-scale development programmes, including the Northern Metropolis development, as well as planned increases in capital works expenditure. However, competition for public sector tenders is expected to remain intense, which may continue to exert pressure on pricing and margins. To capture future business opportunities and enhance its competitiveness, the Group intends to focus on public sector building works and renovation, maintenance and alteration projects relating to ageing infrastructure, and to pursue inclusion in additional approved contractor lists to increase tender opportunities.
According to the 2025-26 Budget and the press release in relation to capital works expenditure from the Hong Kong Government (https://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/202507/09/P2025070900640.htm), the actual capital expenditure for each year from 2020-21 financial year to 2024-25 financial year ranged from approximately HK$70.0 billion to HK$105.3 billion. In medium forecast range (over next five years), the capital works expenditure is expected to increase from an estimated HK$90 billion per annum on average to about HK$120 billion per annum on average, representing an increase of approximately 33.3% increase of per annum spending.

LETTER FROM THE JOINT INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISERS
Material Uncertainty Regarding Going Concern
Notwithstanding the above, it was contained in the auditor's report of the Company for FY2025 an opinion about the existence of a material uncertainty related to the Group's going concern, including but not limited to: (i) a net loss of HK$51.4 million and a net operating cash outflow of HK$63.8 million for FY2025; (ii) the Group's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by HK$80.5 million as at 31 March 2025; and (iii) the bank borrowings classified as current liabilities amounted to HK$154.4 million, as compared to the cash and cash equivalents of only HK$31.4 million as at 31 March 2025.
The auditor concluded that these conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, noting that the operational continuity of the Group is dependent on maintaining sufficient financing resources, closely monitoring banking facilities, and complying with loan covenants. However, our review of the Group's interim performance for the 6M2026 shows that this situation has not materially improved. The Group continued to report net losses and operate with a net current liabilities position during the interim period, underscoring the persistence of the financial challenges identified by the auditor.
Pursuant to Note 3 to Rule 2 of the Takeovers Code, we would like to draw the attention of the Independent Shareholders to the existence of a material uncertainty related to the Group's ability to continue as a going concern as at 31 March 2025 as set out in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025, the details of which are disclosed in Appendix II to this Composite Document.
The material uncertainty relating to the "going concern" basis of the Company means that the Independent Shareholders are advised to take into account the foregoing and consider carefully the terms of the Offer. If the Independent Shareholders decide not to accept the Offer, they should be aware of the potential risks associated with the material uncertainty in respect of the "going concern" issue.
Your attention is drawn to Appendices II and III of this Composite Document which contain further financial and general information of the Group.

LETTER FROM THE JOINT INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISERS
Having considered that the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties have accumulated experience in the construction and building services industry, we are of the view that they may be able to bring positive influence to the business of the Group. Nevertheless, whether such experience will ultimately be utilised or translated into tangible benefits for the Group remains to be seen, as it will depend on the specific strategies and actions to be taken by them following the close of the Offer.
(iii) Intention of the Offeror regarding the Group
(a) Business
As set out in the "Letter from Lego Securities" in this Composite Document, the Offeror has no intention to discontinue the employment of the employees or to dispose of (other than the change in proposed change of the Board composition as detailed below) or re-deploy the assets of the Group other than those in its ordinary course of business. The Offeror also intends to continue the existing principal business of the Group.
Nevertheless, the Offeror will conduct a detailed review on the existing principal businesses and operations, and the financial position of the Group for the purpose of formulating business plans and strategies for the Group's long-term business development and will explore other business opportunities for the Group. Subject to the results of the review, and should suitable investment or business opportunities arise, the Offeror may consider whether any assets and/or business acquisitions or disposals by the Group will be appropriate in order to enhance its growth. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no investment or business opportunities have been identified nor has the Offeror entered into any agreement, arrangement, understandings or negotiation in relation to the injection of any assets or business into the Group.
(b) Board composition
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board comprised of three executive Directors, namely Mr. Lam, Mr. Shut Yu Hang and Mr. Lam Arthur Chi Ping, and four independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Tang Chi Wang, Mr. Tse Ting Kwan, Mr. Wong Kwong On and Ms. Yeung Cheuk Chi Vivian.
It was intended that, except for Mr. Lam Arthur Chi Ping, all of the executive Directors and independent non-executive Directors would resign with effect from the earliest time permitted under the Takeovers Code. As disclosed in Joint Announcement I, the Offeror intended to nominate Mr. Ng JY, Mr. Choi and Mr. Soong as executive Directors. No concerns have been raised regarding Mr. Choi and Mr. Soong's suitability to act as a Director. Nevertheless, after further deliberations and taking into account (i) the time commitment and
LETTER FROM THE JOINT INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISERS
attention required to discharge the responsibilities as an executive Director; (ii) Mr. Choi and Mr. Soong's current personal and business commitments, which also require their attention and dedication; and (iii) the academic background and qualifications of Mr. Choi's son (Mr. Choi SYD) and Mr. Soong's daughter (Ms. Soong WS), the Offeror finds it appropriate, and believes that it will be in the interest of the Company, to nominate Mr. Ng JY, Mr. Choi SYD and Ms. Soong WS as executive Directors.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Offeror intends to nominate Mr. Ng JY, Mr. Choi SYD and Ms. Soong WS as executive Directors and Mr. Ip Yik Nam, JP, Mr. Tso Ping Cheong Brian and Ms. Leung Wai Yan as independent non-executive Directors for appointment to the Board with effect from a time no earlier than that as permitted under the Takeovers Code or such later date as the Offeror considers to be appropriate. Any changes to the members of the Board will be made in compliance with the Takeovers Codes and/or the Listing Rules and further announcement(s) will be made as and when appropriate.
Further details of biographical information of the proposed Directors nominated by the Offeror are set out under the section headed "Letter from Lego Securities" to this Composite Document.
(c) Maintenance of the Company's listing status
As stated in "Letter from Lego Securities" in this Composite Document, the Offeror intends the Company to remain listed on the Stock Exchange after the close of the Offer. The Offeror does not intend to avail itself of any powers of compulsory acquisition of any Shares outstanding after the close of the Offer. The directors of the Offeror and the new Directors to be appointed to the Board will jointly and severally undertake to the Stock Exchange to take appropriate steps to ensure that sufficient public float exists in the Shares, such as disposal of Shares held by the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties and/or issue of additional Shares by the Company for this purpose.
We noted that (a) the Offeror has yet to provide any concrete plans regarding the long-term strategy for the future development of the Group or for improving the Group's business operations and financial position; and (b) it is intended that all of the existing Directors, except Mr. Lam Arthur Chi Ping, will resign from the Board and be replaced by the proposed new executive directors who are all second-generation family members of the Offeror's ultimate beneficial owners. While the proposed new executive directors possess relevant academic qualifications and industry experience, their experience serving as directors of listed companies is limited, and their ability to lead the Group's turnaround and enhance its financial position remains unproven. In our view,
LETTER FROM THE JOINT INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISERS
these further reinforces the uncertainty regarding the Group's future direction and prospects after the close of the Offer. Independent Shareholders are therefore advised to carefully monitor any further announcements from the Company regarding the implementation of these intentions.

4. Trading performance of the Shares
(i) Historical Share price performance
Set out below is a chart showing the movement of the closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange from 2 January 2025 to the Last Trading Day (i.e. 22 January 2026) (the “Review Period”), being approximately one year preceding the Last Trading Day, and up to the Latest Practicable Date. We consider the Review Period is adequate to reflect the general market sentiment and illustrates the general trend and level of movement of the daily closing price of the Shares.

Note: The trading of the Shares on the Stock Exchange was suspended at 1:46 p.m. on 15 January 2026 pending the release of announcement of the Company pursuant to Rule 3.7 of the Takeovers Code on 16 January 2026 (“Rule 3.7 Announcement”). Trading of the Shares on the Stock Exchange was resumed at 9:00 a.m. on 19 January 2026 and then was suspended again at 9:00 a.m. on 23 January 2026 pending the release of the Joint Announcement. Trading of the Shares on the Stock Exchange was resumed at 9:00 a.m. on 29 January 2026.
LETTER FROM THE JOINT INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISERS
As shown above, the closing prices of the Shares traded in the range of HK$0.047 to HK$0.112 during the period from 2 January 2025 to 31 December 2025. During 2025, the lowest closing price of the Share was HK$0.047 recorded between 2 January 2025 and 15 January 2025, while the highest closing price of the Share was HK$0.112, recorded on 22 December 2025. The closing prices of the Shares were mostly traded at below HK$0.1 and remained below the Offer Price of $0.19 throughout 2025.
Since January 2026, the closing price of the Share increased sharply and exceeded the Offer price on 13 January 2026 with a closing price of HK$0.247. Thereafter, the closing price continued to rise generally up to the Last Trading Day, peaking at HK$0.385 on the Last Trading Day. Corresponding to the surge in closing prices, it is noted that trading volume in the Shares also increased substantially in January 2026. The trading volume of the Shares will be analysed further in the next section.
During the Review Period, the lowest closing price of the Share was HK$0.047, recorded between 2 January 2025 and 15 January 2025, while the highest closing price of the Share was HK$0.385, recorded on the Last Trading Day. The average daily closing price of the Share over the Review Period was approximately HK$0.0816. The Offer Price of HK$0.19 per Offer Share represents (i) a premium of approximately 304.26% over the lowest closing price during the Review Period; (ii) a discount of approximately 50.65% to the highest closing price during the Review Period; and (iii) a premium of approximately 132.89% over the average daily closing price of the Share over the Review Period. The Offer Price was higher than the daily closing price of the Share on 253 out of the 265 trading days during the Review Period.
Following the publication of the Joint Announcement, the closing price dropped to HK$0.26 on 29 January 2026 and remained above the Offer Price as at the Latest Practicable Date. The closing price of the Share closed at HK$0.224 as at the Latest Practicable Date, to which the Offer Price represents a discount of approximately 15.18%. We have made enquiries with the management of the Company and concur that save as the publication of the Rule 3.7 Announcement and the Joint Announcement, the Company is not aware of any information that caused the surge in the Share price since January 2026 and up to the Latest Practicable Date.
Although the Offer Price represents a discount of approximately 50.65% to the closing price of the Share of the Last Trading Day and a discount of approximately 15.18% to the closing price of the Share of the Latest Practicable Date, Independent Shareholders should note that there is no guarantee that the prevailing level of market price of the Shares will sustain during and after the Offer Period. Particularly noting that (i) the absence of any inside information, material business developments or fundamental catalysts driving such elevated prices, as confirmed by the Company; (ii)
- 45 -
LETTER FROM THE JOINT INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISERS
the fact that the Offer Price was above the closing price of the Shares for 253 trading days, representing more than 95% of trading days during the Review Period; and (iii) the Offer Price represents a premium of approximately 132.89% over the average daily closing price of the Share over the Review Period, we consider the Offer Price to be justifiable and reasonable when assessed over a longer historical timeframe.
(ii) Liquidity of the Shares
The following table sets out the average daily trading volume of the Shares for each month or period and the percentages of such average daily trading volume to the total number of Shares in issue and held by the public during the period from 2 January 2025 to the Latest Practicable Date:

LETTER FROM THE JOINT INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISERS
Notes:
- Number of trading days of the Shares represents number of trading days during the month or period which excludes any trading day on which trading of the Shares on the Stock Exchange was suspended for the whole trading day.
- Based on the number of Shares held by public Shareholders as calculated by deducting the Shares held by the Vendor before Completion from the total number of the Shares in issue at the end of each month or period.
As illustrated in the table above, the trading of the Shares was generally inactive during the Review Period. The average daily trading volume for the respective month during 2025 ranged from approximately 3,789 Shares in January 2025 to approximately 712,762 Shares in December 2025, representing approximately 0.0005% to 0.0891% of the total number of the Shares in issue and approximately 0.0017% to 0.3240% of the total number of the Shares held by the public, respectively. From 1 January 2026 to the Last Trading Day, the average trading volume increased to approximately 6,857,857 Shares, representing approximately 0.8572% of the total number of the Shares in issue and approximately 3.1172% of the total number of the Shares held by the public.
Following the publication of the Joint Announcement and the resumption of trading of the Shares on 29 January 2026, the average daily trading volume decreased to approximately 3,919,579 Shares during the period from 29 January 2026 to 28 February 2026, representing approximately 0.4899% of the total number of the Shares in issue and approximately 1.7816% of the total number of the Shares held by the public. The average trading volume then increased to approximately 6,475,000 Shares during the period from 1 March 2026 to the Latest Practicable Date, representing approximately 0.8094% of the total number of the Shares in issue and approximately 2.9432% of the total number of the Shares held by the public.
Given the historical thin liquidity of the Shares, it may be difficult for the Independent Shareholders to dispose of a significant number of the Shares on the market in a short period of time without exerting downward pressure on the Share price. Accordingly, the market trading price of the Shares may not necessarily reflect the proceeds that the Independent Shareholders can receive through the disposal of their Shares in the open market and therefore, the Offer provides a viable alternative exit for the Independent Shareholders, particularly for those who hold a large volume of Shares, to realize their investment in the Company at the Offer Price of HK$0.19 per Offer Share.

LETTER FROM THE JOINT INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISERS
Having considered that (i) the overall price performance with closing price of Shares traded at a level below the Offer Price for a majority of time during the Review Period and the surge of Share price close to the Joint Announcement; and (ii) the trading volume of the Shares was generally thin during Review Period, we are of the view that the Independent Shareholders are recommended to closely monitor the Share price and trading volume of the Shares during the Offer Period. If the Independent Shareholders wish to dispose of a significant number of the Shares, which may cause the Share price to fall and result in the sale proceeds being lower than the proceeds receivable from the Offer, they should consider accepting the Offer.
5. Comparable analysis
The Group is principally engaged in providing (i) building construction services, (ii) RMAA works and services and (iii) design and build services in Hong Kong. For FY2025, the Group generated approximately HK$369.5 million revenue from building construction, representing approximately 92.3% of its total revenue. The Group's revenue are all derived from Hong Kong based on the location of services delivered for FY2025. The Group were loss making for FY2025 and 6M2026.
Price-to-earnings ("P/E(s)"), price-to-book ("P/B(s)") and price-to-sale ("P/S(s)") multiples are the three most commonly used benchmarks in valuing a company. Given that the Group was loss making for FY2025; and (ii) the Group recorded net assets position as at 30 September 2025, we consider both P/B and P/S multiple to be appropriate in valuing the Group. Based on (i) the Offer Price of HK$0.19 per Offer Share; (ii) 800,000,000 Shares in issue on the Last Trading Day; and (iii) the revenue of approximately 400.2 million for FY2025 and the net assets of approximately 102.1 million as at 30 September 2025, the P/S and P/B multiples implied by the Offer Price are approximately 0.38 times (the "Implied P/S") and 1.49 times (the "Implied P/B"), respectively.
In evaluating the fairness and reasonableness of the Offer Price, we have, based on our search on Bloomberg, identified an exhaustive list of companies (the "Comparable Companies") which (i) are principally engaged in and generated a majority (i.e. over 50%) of their revenue from building construction services in Hong Kong in their respective latest financial year; (ii) have their shares listed on the Stock Exchange; and (iii) with a market capitalization between HK$150.0 million and HK$300.0 million as at the Last Trading Day, which we consider to be comparable to that of the Company. We note that the market capitalization of the Company was HK$308.0 million as at the Last Trading Day, compared to the market capitalization of the Company implied by the Offer Price of HK$152.0 million (calculated by multiplying Offer Price of HK$0.19 per Offer Share by 800,000,000 Shares in issue on the Last Trading Day). Having considered that both figures, we consider the selection criteria of market capitalization between HK$150.0 million and HK$300.0 million to be a reasonable benchmark range for the purpose of identifying comparable companies. Based on the aforesaid criteria, we have identified 9 Comparable Companies.

As such, we consider the Offer Price to be fair and reasonable.
RECOMMENDATION
In summary, we have considered the below factors and reasons in arriving at our conclusion and recommendation in relation to the Offer:
(i) the financial performance and financial position of the Group, including the loss making position of the Group for FY2025 and 6M2026, the moderate increase in revenue in FY2025 and 6M2026, and the reasons leading to the recorded losses for FY2025 and 6M2026;
(ii) the challenging but potentially improving outlook for the Group's business, taking into account (a) the Group's initiative to control costs and improve efficiency; (b) the anticipated increase in government spending on capital works in the future, which will in turns benefit the construction sector; and (c) the material uncertainty regarding the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, as highlighted in the auditor's report for FY2025 and reflected in its ongoing net current liabilities position;
(iii) the accumulated industry experience of the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties, which we consider could potentially benefit the Group's business, although the realisation of such benefits will ultimately depend on the specific strategies and actions to be taken by them following the close of the Offer;
- 50 -
LETTER FROM THE JOINT INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISERS
(iv) the appointment of the proposed new executive directors, all of whom are second-generation family members of the Offeror's ultimate beneficial owners. While they possess relevant academic qualifications and industry experience, their experience serving as directors of listed companies is limited, and their ability to lead the Group's turnaround and enhance its financial position has yet to be demonstrated;
(v) the analysis sets out in the section headed "Historical Share price performance" in this letter, which illustrated that the Offer Price was higher than the daily closing price of the Share for a majority of time during the Review Period and the Offer Price represents a premium of approximately 132.89% over the average daily closing price of the Share over the Review Period;
(vi) the analysis sets out in the section headed "Liquidity of the Shares" in this letter, which illustrated that the trading in the Shares was mostly inactive throughout the Review Period; and
(vii) the Implied P/S and Implied P/B are within range and comparable to the Comparable Companies.
We are of the opinion that the Offer is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to accept the Offer.
For those Independent Shareholders who intend to accept the Offer, we would remind them to closely monitor the market price and liquidity of the Shares during the Offer Period, and having regard to their own circumstances, consider selling the Shares in the open market, instead of accepting the Offer, if the net proceeds from the ultimate sale of such Shares would be higher than that receivable under the Offer.
As such, for those Independent Shareholders who intend to dispose of large blocks of Shares in the open market, we would also remind them of the possible difficulty in disposing of their Shares in the open market without creating downward pressure on the market prices of the Shares as a result of the thin trading in the Shares.

APPENDIX II
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
There was no payment of dividends for each of the year ended 31 March 2023, 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2025 and six months ended 30 September 2024 and 30 September 2025. Hence dividends per Share for each of the year ended 31 March 2023, 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2025 and six months ended 30 September 2024 and 30 September 2025 was inapplicable.
There was no change in accounting policy applicable to the three years ended 31 March 2023, 2024 and 2025 and six months ended 30 September 2024 and 30 September 2025 which rendered the financial figures not comparable to a material extent.
Material uncertainty related to the Group's going concern for the year ended 31 March 2025
For the year ended 31 March 2025, it was contained in the auditor's report of the Company an opinion about the existence of a material uncertainty related to the Group's going concern, an extract of which is as follows:
"Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to note 3.1 to the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that during the year ended 31 March 2025, the Group incurred a net loss of HK$51,358,000 and resulted a net operating cash outflow and net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of HK$63,833,000 and HK$685,000, respectively. As at 31 March 2025, the Group's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by HK$80,536,000 and the Group's aggregate bank borrowings amounted to HK$154,420,000, which were due for settlement within twelve months and were classified as current liabilities while the Group had cash and cash equivalents of HK$31,381,000.
The Group's ability to continue as a going concern depends on its ability to maintain minimal cash outflows from operations and sufficient financing resources to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due. The Group is actively improving the liquidity and cashflow by continue monitoring the utilisation of bank borrowings and ensuring the compliance with loan covenants, with details as described in note 3.1 to the consolidated financial statements, in order to ensure that the Group has sufficient financial resources to finance its operations and to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due at least twelve months from the date of approval of the consolidated financial statements.
II - 2
APPENDIX II
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
The Directors have taken into account the unutilised banking facilities available to meet the Group's operating and financing needs and are of the opinion that sufficient financial resources will be available to finance the Group's operations and to meet the Group's financial obligations as and when they fall due at least twelve months from the date of approval of the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern. However, these conditions, along with other matters as set forth in note 3.1 to the consolidated financial statements, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter."
