VALUATION OF THE TARGET COMPANY
The Company has engaged Valtech Valuation Advisory Limited to carry out valuation (“Valuation”) of the entire equity interest of the Target Company, which was appraised to be at approximately HK$35,355,000 on the Valuation Date in accordance with the Guideline Publicly-traded Comparable method under the market approach as set out in the Valuation Report.
Key Assumptions of the Valuation
Details of the principal assumptions, including commercial assumptions, upon which the Valuation Report was based are as follows:
General assumptions
The Independent Valuer has made certain key assumptions in the Valuation, which, to the Directors’ best information and knowledge, are consistent with market practice and information available to the Company, including but not limited to:
- the current political, legal, commercial and banking regulations, fiscal policies, foreign trade and economic conditions which prevail in the regions in which the Target Company are being operated will have no material adverse change;
- competent management, key personnel and technical staff will be available to support the ongoing operation of the Target Company;
- all relevant legal approvals, business certificates, trade permits have been procured, in place and in good standing prior to commencement of operations by the Target Company under the ordinary and normal course of business; and
-
the information regarding the Target Company provided is true and accurate.
-

Assessment of Key Specific Assumptions
Valuation methodology
In the Valuation, after comparing the common valuation methods including cost approach, income approach and market approach, the Independent Valuer adopted the Guideline Publicly-traded Comparable method of the market approach for the following reasons:
- the cost approach was considered unsuitable as the Target Company has commenced its operation since 2009 with track record of solid recent revenue growth from 2023 to 2025 (up to the Valuation Date). Its profiting nature and unique background make it not easily be replaced or reproduced by other market participants;
- the income approach was considered unsuitable as income projection would generally take into account various management assumptions (e.g. synergy with existing and/or prospective management, capital expenditure, financing and operating assumptions etc);
- the market approach was adopted as it reflects the market participants' current assessment without material management assumptions on projections. It is particularly useful to apply to project-based company with high uncertainty on financial projection; and
- the Independent Valuer, having identified a sufficient pool of 18 relevant and sufficient Guideline Publicly-traded Comparable with sufficient and reliable financial information disclosed, is satisfied that the Guideline Publicly-traded Comparable Method of the market approach could be used to determine the value of the Target Company.
Having considered (i) the rationale of the Independent Valuer in selecting market approach instead of cost approach and income approach as the appropriate valuation approach; and (ii) the Valuation was prepared by the Independent Valuer in accordance with the applicable requirements and standards, the Board is of the view that the adoption of market approach for the Valuation is fair and reasonable.
The Directors also agree with the Independent Valuer that the market approach has the benefits of simplicity, clarity, speed and the need for fewer assumptions, and introduces objectivity in application as publicly available inputs are used.
Market Comparables
In the course of valuing the Target Company pursuant to the Guideline Publicly-traded Comparable Method, the Independent Valuer has taken into account the Price-to-Earnings ("P/E") ratio multiple, which is appropriate for evaluating business with track record of profits. The Independent Valuer has further taken into account the valuation adjustments for control premium and discount for lack of marketability.
- 9 -
The Independent Valuer has selected 18 comparable listed companies (“Comparables”), which recognised more than 50% of their respective revenue from provision of repair, maintenance, alteration and addition works and related services, and such revenue was generated from Hong Kong market.
Key inputs of the Valuation
The summary statistics of the P/E multiple from the Comparables identified by the Independent Valuer as of as at 31 March 2025 is listed as follows:
| No. of valid Comparables | 6 |
|---|---|
| Upper quartile (P/E Times) | 12.07x |
| Average (P/E Times) | 7.77x Note |
| Median (before outlier) (P/E Times) | 9.29x |
| Lower quartile (P/E Times) | 5.08x |
Note: With existence of outlier peer multiple 18.18x, being over double of average multiple of 7.77x (if such outlier is excluded), it is considered an outlier multiple and excluded. The median of full set of market multiples and the average of market multiples (excluding outlier) are calculated, the lower of both is adopted in valuation for prudence.
The Independent Valuer, in arriving at the estimated unadjusted valuation, selected a P/E multiple of 7.77 times, being the average of the P/E multiples (excluding outlier) of the Comparables.
The Directors are of the view that the Comparables identified by the Independent Valuer were sufficient to determine the benchmark multiple. It is fair and reasonable to assess the value of the Target Company with reference to the P/E multiples of the Comparables.
Control Premium and Discount for Lack of Marketability
The Independent Valuer imposed a control premium (“Control Premium”) on the valuation of the Target Company, since there is a difference between a controlling business interest and those of the minority interests. The Independent Valuer has made reference to the 2024 Factset Review to arrive at a 15.6% Control Premium in the Valuation.
The Independent Valuer imposed a discount for lack of marketability (“DLOM”) on the valuation of the Target Company, since there is a difference between a privately-owned asset and those of its comparable public companies which is its lack of marketability. The Independent Valuer has made reference to 2024 Edition Stout Restricted Stock Study to arrive at a 15.6% DLOM in the Valuation.
Basis of Valuation and Consideration
The Directors considered the Valuation to be fair and reasonable, having taken into account (i) the use of the average of the P/E multiple (which is lower compared to median of full set of peer market multiple), 7.77x, of the Comparables to value the Target Company; (ii) the consideration of 15.6% Control Premium and 15.6% DLOM which reflect the necessary business consideration, and have an minimal net effect on valuation after offsetting.
