NOTICE OF EGM

1. INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, (i) details of the Sale and Purchase Agreement; (ii) the recommendation from the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Assignment and the Sale and Purchase Agreement; (iii) the letter of advice from Minerva Advisory Global Capital Limited to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Assignment and the Sale and Purchase Agreement; and (iv) the notice of EGM and the proxy form.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. THE ASSIGNMENT

On 23 September 2025 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange), the Assignor, being a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement with the Assignee, pursuant to which the Assignor has agreed to assign, and the Assignee has agreed to purchase from the Assignor all of the Assignor’s legal and beneficial right in the Loan Agreements (including but not limited to the Assigned Debt).

SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

The principal terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are set out as follows:

Date : 23 September 2025

Parties
- Assignor: Delta Wealth Finance Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
- Assignee: Ms. Tin Yat Yu Carol, an executive Director and the sole director of the Assignor

Subject matter

The Assignor has agreed to assign, and the Assignee has agreed to purchase from the Assignor all of the legal and beneficial right in the Loan Agreements (including but not limited to the Assigned Debt).

Consideration

The Consideration is HK$11,399,686, which shall be paid by the Assignee to the Assignor by cash in the following manner:

(i) as to HK$1,099,686 shall be paid by the Assignee to the Assignor as down payment (the “Deposit”) upon signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement (or such later date as the Assignor and the Assignee may agree); and

(ii) the remaining sum of HK$10,300,000 (the “Remaining Sum”) shall be paid by the Assignee to the Assignor in 12 monthly installments (with the first 11 installments being HK$860,000 each and the last installment being HK$840,000), while the first instalment shall be payable on 1 October 2025 or the Completion Date (whichever is later) (or such later date as the Assignor and the Assignee may agree) and the remaining instalments be payable by the Assignee to the Assignor by the end of each subsequent calendar month. Notwithstanding of the above, the Assignee may prepay all or part of the Remaining Sum at any time by giving the Assignor not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice.

In the event of a partial prepayment of the Remaining Sum, the sum so prepaid shall be applied in inverse order of maturity and the Assignee shall continue to make all remaining installments in accordance with the original payment schedule until the Remaining Sum is fully repaid.

  • 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Notwithstanding the above, the Assignee undertakes to use her best endeavour (including but not limited to maintaining regular contact with the Borrowers and commencement of legal actions) to liaise with the Borrowers to recover the Assigned Debt, and shall use the net amount so successfully recovered to settle the outstanding Consideration as soon as possible within 10 Business Days upon receipt of the same, and settle the Consideration in entirety within one year from the date of Completion in any event. This undertaking aims to accelerate the recovery of the Assigned Debt, thereby creating mutual benefits for both the Assignor and the Assignee. If the Borrowers repay the Assigned Debt, the Assignee will use those funds to settle the outstanding Consideration owed to the Assignor ahead of the payment schedule of the Remaining Sum under the Sale and Purchase Agreement. This mechanism allows the Assignee to be released from her remaining payment obligations under the Assignment upon full settlement, while providing the Company with faster access to funds, improved cash flow, and reduced exposure to the Assigned Debt as the Assignee remains obligated to pay the Remaining Sum in full over 12 months regardless of whether recovery succeeds. The recovery progress is thus driven by the Assignee's proactive efforts to collect the Assigned Debt as soon as possible, with all received funds directed towards settling the Consideration, ultimately benefiting the Company as the holding company of the Assignor.

Taking into account (i) the structured repayment schedule for the Remaining Sum, comprising 12 monthly installments, which aligns with the Assignee's undertaking to use best endeavour to recover the Assigned Debt from the Borrowers within a reasonable debt collection timeframe; (ii) the Assignee's extensive experience of over 15 years in money lending and recovery, providing the Group with immediate partial liquidity through the Deposit of HK$1,099,686 while minimising default risk through prepayment flexibility and inverse order application; (iii) the Assignee's personal assumption of full future collection risks; (iv) the Assignee's financial credibility (as evidenced by her directorship and shareholding in two listed companies in Hong Kong, coupled with over 15 years of experience in money lending and recovery) and undertaking to settle the outstanding Consideration as soon as possible within 10 Business Days upon receipt of the net amount of the Assigned Debt from the Borrowers; (v) the foreseeable timeline for the Group to receive the Consideration in entirety within one year, the Board (excluding Ms. Tin) considers that compared to the uncertain repayment schedule of the Borrowers, alongside their poor repayment record, the installment arrangement was fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Consideration represents the difference of the original aggregated principal amount of the Assigned Debt of HK$20,500,000 and all repayment (including interest payments) previously made by the Borrowers up to 30 June 2025 of HK$9,100,314 (including principal amount of HK$6,495,000 and interest of HK$2,605,314). Given the poor repayment track record of the Borrowers, the Company has not only failed to generate expected profits from interest payments, but has also faced a material risk of non-recovery of even the original loan principal, which has in fact been recorded as a loss of the Company by way of impairment, where the Board (excluding Ms. Tin who has abstained from voting due to her material interest in the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder) considers that the likelihood of recovering the Assigned Debt to be very low, or if not no, prospect of collection. In addition, although interest continues to accrue on the outstanding defaulted loans in accordance with the Loan Agreements, these accruals are merely notional and do not result in actual profit or cash inflow to the Group, as the Borrowers have ceased making further payments. As such, accrued interest has not been included in the Consideration.

  • 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Consideration was determined after arm's length negotiations between the Assignor and the Assignee, having considered (i) the outstanding principal and interests owed by the Borrowers under the Loan Agreements; (ii) the low likelihood of recovering the Assigned Debt and the interests thereon; (iii) the significant time and costs expected to be incurred by the Group if the Assignor pursues legal action against the Borrowers to enforce the Loan Agreements; and (iv) the current global circumstances and uncertainties in the economic outlook.

As of 30 June 2025, the aggregate amount repaid by the Borrowers to the Assignor was HK$9,100,314, but the Borrowers have not repaid the accrued interest or the principal in full or on time despite ongoing discussions and demands for repayment, details of which are set out under the section headed "Reasons for and Benefits of the Assignment and Use of Proceeds" below. Based on the Borrowers' unsatisfactory historical repayment record and their defaults under the Loan Agreements overdue for more than 24 months, the Board (excluding Ms. Tin) is of the view that the likelihood of the Borrowers repaying the Assigned Debt is very low.

In addition, as set out under the section headed "Reasons for and Benefits of the Assignment and Use of Proceeds" below, pursuing formal legal recovery of the Assigned Debt involves a protracted process fraught with uncertainties, including potential disputes and substantial costs. The collateral (comprising three necklaces) securing to the Assigned Debt, has been preliminarily valued based on the prevailing market price of similar necklaces in October 2025 at no more than HK$7 million by jewellery trading companies, which falls significantly short of covering the outstanding principal amount. The quotations were based on the testing certificate available and the specifications of the collateral. However, as the collateral remains pledged and has not yet been offered for sale as at the Latest Practicable Date, the current value of the collateral is indicatively only and subject to possible adjustments based on the timing and prevailing market conditions at the time of sale. In general, the value of such collateral has been on a downtrend, which further diminishes the likelihood of achieving a recovery sufficient to cover the outstanding loan amount. The collateral for the Loan Agreements is currently held in physical possession of the Assignor.

In practice, enforcing and realising the collateral under the Loan Agreements may entail additional legal and other expenses (not less than HK$50,000 if not contested) and time costs (not less than three months if not contested). For instance, to comply with common law duties to act in good faith and take reasonable care in obtaining the best price reasonably achievable during the sale, it would typically require retaining qualified professionals for independent valuations, engaging auction houses or sale agents to facilitate a transparent and proper disposal, and seeking legal advice to review the process, ensure procedural compliance, and mitigate risks of future challenges in ownership issues. Assuming that the value of the collateral is insufficient to cover the outstanding loan, the Company may need to initiate legal proceedings against the Borrowers to recover the shortfall, which will incur further legal expenses (including counsel fees) and time costs. Nevertheless, due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, the Group is unable to estimate the additional time and costs to be required. These factors, combined with potential delays due to prevailing market conditions, could also lead to a foreseeable reduction in the ultimate recovery value. Moreover, the realizable value of the collateral, as currently quoted, would be further subject to prevailing market conditions at the time of sale. In contrast, the Assignment offers a definitive, one-time mechanism for the Group to recover a substantial portion of these long-overdue amounts owed under the Loan Agreements within a foreseeable timeframe, without incurring the enforcement risks and expenditures.

  • 8 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

After considering (i) the Borrowers' unsatisfactory historical repayment records; (ii) the respective default statuses of the Loan Agreements (default since May 2021, May 2018 and July 2020 for the Loan Agreement A, the Loan Agreement B and the Loan Agreement C, respectively) and the fact that the Assigned Debt has already been impaired; (iii) the Assignor's previous efforts in recovering the outstanding principal and interests owed by the Borrowers, including issuing monthly debt clearance notices, demand letters and conducting follow-up calls to negotiate repayment; (iv) the sum of the Consideration and all the repayments (including interest payments) previously made by the Borrowers up to 30 June 2025 is equivalent to the aggregate principal amount of the Loan Agreements of HK$20,500,000, and (v) the time and costs expected to be incurred if the Assignor pursues legal action to recover the Assigned Debt from each Borrower, the Consideration payable by the Assignee to the Assignor would enable the Group to recover the principal amount of the Assigned Debt in full in a foreseeable timeframe and alleviate the Group's inherent risk of non-recoverability associated with the Assigned Debt. Accordingly, the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors but excluding Ms. Tin who has abstained from voting due to her material interest in the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder) is of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms and that the entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ASSIGNMENT AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Money lending is one of the original course of businesses of the Group.

Prior to the entering into of each of the Loan Agreements, the Group has carried out credit risk assessments on each of the Borrowers, taking into account, among other things, the financial background of the Borrowers, purpose of their borrowing and their potential repayment ability. Having considered that (i) each of the Borrowers had no bankruptcy record, and (ii) the loans were supported by collaterals, the Assignor was satisfied with their credit worthiness at the time of the loan applications. As at 30 June 2025, (i) the aggregate amount owed by Borrower A to the Assignor under Loan Agreement A, including the outstanding principal and interest was HK$7,396,192; (ii) the aggregate amount owed by Borrower B to the Assignor under Loan Agreement B, including the outstanding principal and interest was HK$6,794,000; and (iii) the aggregate amount owed by Borrower C to the Assignor under Loan Agreement C, including the outstanding principal and interest was HK$2,892,698.

Since the Borrowers' default, the Group has been in various discussions with the Borrowers as to the repayment of the principal amount and the payment of the interest under the Loan Agreements, and various recovery measures have been undertaken, including issuing demand letters and monthly debt clearance notices, engaging in discussions, and exploring settlement options to facilitate repayment, while continuing to issue demand letters and conducting follow-up calls with the Borrowers to negotiate for repayment. Monthly debt clearance notices have been issued against (i) each of Borrower A and Borrower C since January 2023, and (ii) Borrower B between January 2021 to November 2022 and since January 2023, and demand letters have been issued against each of the Borrowers in 2023 and 2024. Although Borrower B and C had repaid a sum of HK$1,286,000 and HK$1,020,000, respectively, to the Assignor in March 2025, no further repayments have been made by them since then, and based on their lack of indication to settle their respective outstanding loans, the Group considers that the likelihood of recovery of the interest accrued under the Assigned Debt is very low, while the Assignment ensures full recovery of the original principal from its impairment. The outstanding balances were long-outstanding and despite previous efforts, were deemed increasingly irrevocable through standard collection processes, rendering further pursuit uneconomical. Pursuing formal legal recovery was assessed to be a lengthy and costly process with an uncertain outcome, likely resulting in significant legal expenses and a deep discount on the recovery value.

  • 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

During the preparation of the financial information of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2025, the Group performed a regular impairment review of its loan portfolio and the Assignee, as director of the Assignor, followed-up on the loans to assess the repayment ability of each borrower. All borrowers, except the Borrowers, indicated their willingness to settle their respective outstanding loan balance. The Group, after taking into account the poor repayment history of the Borrowers, considered that the likelihood of further repayment of the principal and accrued interests by the Borrower is remote and intended to assign the Assigned Debt to save time and resources that will otherwise be incurred for recovering and collecting the Assigned Debt. Having considered the Group's intention to reallocate resources and to assign the Assigned Debt and the terms of the Assignment (such as the right to recover the Assigned Debt including outstanding accrued interest), the Assignee, an executive Director who is also the director of the Assignor, approached the Group and agreed to assume the Assigned Debt on an arm's length basis. Compared to recovery actions taken by other third-party recovery agents, who typically require a deep discount on the outstanding principal to mitigate the non-recovery risk in distressed assets and would not acquire the non-performing loans at cost, the Assignee, being the only buyer interested in acquiring the Assigned Debt based on the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, will use her own time and efforts, and if necessary, initiate legal actions at her own cost to take full responsibility to recover the outstanding loan balances from the Borrowers by assignment of the rights, titles and benefits of the Assigned Debt to her at the Consideration of HK$11,399,686, representing the original aggregated principal amount of the Assigned Debt less all amounts previously repaid (including interest payments) made by the Borrowers respectively, ensuring full recovery of the principal. As such, the Board (excluding Ms. Tin who has abstained from voting due to her material interest in the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder) considers that the arrangement is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Assignment provides a definitive, one-off solution to the Group to recover a substantial portion of these long outstanding amounts owed under the Loan Agreements within a foreseeable timeframe. This immediate and certain settlement conclusively eliminates the Group's credit risks exposure to the Assigned Debt. Further, it enables the Group to mitigate losses, protect its financial interests, and strengthen its overall performance. All future collection risk, including the time, cost, and effort of recovery and the risk of further default by the Borrowers is fully transferred to the Assignee. As a result, the Group has no further obligation or financial exposure related to the Assigned Debt. It is intended that the net proceeds from the Assignment of HK$11,129,686 will be used as general working capital (including but not limited to salaries and benefits, rental and utilities, professional fees and other general and administrative expenses) of the Group to support the Group's apparel operation and IP application and products operation business.

As set out in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024, whilst the Group will continue to provide money lending services to existing customers, the money lending operation of the Group is expected to be scaled down gradually. As such, the Assignment is in line with the overall business strategy of the Group and does not affect the money lending operation of the Company. The Group will also closely monitor the repayment status of the remaining overdue loans and interest receivables and make every effort (including but not limited to the commencement of legal actions against the borrowers) to recover such loans and interest receivables. As at 30 September 2025, the aggregate outstanding loan amount is approximately HK$55,931,000, and the Company conducts timely reviews of these outstanding loans to assess their repayment status. All other outstanding loans are either paid punctually, or where a default has occurred, the Group is in negotiations with the respective borrowers regarding repayment arrangements.

  • 12 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Having regard to the reasons for and benefits of the Assignment, the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors but excluding Ms. Tin who has abstained from voting due to her material interest in the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder) is of the view that the Assignment and the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, which have been reached after arm's length negotiations between the parties, and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4. FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE ASSIGNMENT

Based on, among other things, the Consideration of HK$11,399,686 and the related expenses, a gain of HK$6,404,958 is expected to be recorded for the Assignment, being the difference between (i) the Consideration; and (ii) the book value of the Assigned Debt as at 30 June 2025 of HK$4,994,728 and the amount of the related expenses. There will also be an increase in net asset of HK$6,404,958, resulting from the reversal of the impairment allowance made on the Assigned Debt of HK$12,088,162 as of 30 June 2025 less HK$5,683,204 to be written off over the receivable from the Group of approximately HK$17,082,890.

The aforesaid estimation is for illustrative purpose only and does not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will be after the Assignment.

5. INFORMATION OF THE PARTIES

The Assignee and her associates are required to abstain from voting on the resolution(s) approving the Assignment, the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the EGM.

THE INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE

The Independent Board Committee (comprising all the independent non-executive Directors) has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders on the Assignment, taking into account the recommendation from the Independent Financial Adviser.

OUR INDEPENDENCE

We have not acted as the independent financial adviser or financial adviser in relation to any transactions of the Company in the last two years prior to the date of the Circular. Apart from normal professional fees paid or payable to us in connection with this transaction, no other arrangement exists whereby we had received or will receive any fees or benefits from the Company or any parties that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to our independence. Accordingly, we consider ourselves independent in accordance with Rule 13.84 of the Listing Rules.

BASIS OF OUR ADVICE

In formulating our opinion, we have reviewed, among others, (i) the Sale and Purchase Agreement; (ii) Loan Agreements A, B and C; (iii) the Company's annual report for year ended 31 December 2024 (the "2024 Annual Report") and interim report for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (the "2025 Interim Report"); and (iv) other information as set out in the Circular.

We have also relied on the statements, information, opinions and representations contained or referred to in the Circular and/or provided to us by the Group, the Directors and the management of the Company (the "Management"). We have assumed that all the statements, information, opinions and representations contained or referred to in the Circular and/or provided to us were true, accurate and complete at the time they were made and will continue to be so up to the date of the EGM. The Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, including particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief, the information contained in the Circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other facts the omission of which would make any statement in the Circular misleading.

  • 20 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We have no reason to believe that any statements, information, opinions or representations relied on by us in forming our opinion are untrue, inaccurate or misleading, nor are we aware of any material facts the omission of which would render the statements, information, opinions or representations provided to us untrue, inaccurate or misleading.

We consider that we have been provided with, and have reviewed, sufficient information to reach an informed view and provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. We have not, however, conducted any independent investigation into the business, financial conditions and affairs or future prospects of the Group.

In the event of inconsistency, the English text of this letter shall prevail over the Chinese translation of this letter.

2. Reasons for and the benefits of the Assignment and use of proceeds

For our due diligence of the Loan Agreements, we obtained and reviewed the relevant Loan Agreements and a summary table of all repayment records of each of the Borrowers with relevant supporting documents e.g. bank deposit slips and/or accounting vouchers and various repayment demand letters. Given the supporting documents of the repayment records we have obtained and reviewed represent the entire repayment amount of the Borrowers as represented in the summary table as at the Latest Practicable Date, we consider the repayment records to be fair and representative. We assess the reasons for and the benefits of the Assignment and use of proceeds with details as follows:


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(i) Poor repayment history of in relation to Loan Agreement A:

We noted that the agreement matured on 20 May 2021 and Borrower A had repaid a sum of HK$6,794,314 to the Assignor by the end of December 2021. Nevertheless, Borrower A has failed to make further repayment since January 2022. Having considered that Borrower A failed to repay the loan and the interest thereon in accordance with Loan Agreement A, in October 2021, the Assignor and Borrower A entered into a settlement agreement to restructure the remaining outstanding sum and repayment schedule in an attempt to allow Borrower A to make full repayment. Subsequently, the Assignor had issued legal demand letters to Borrower A in September 2023 and October 2024, followed by debt clearance notices on a monthly basis from June 2025 to August 2025. As noted from the settlement agreement between the Assignor and Borrower A in October 2021, the Assignor understood Borrower A's willingness to the settlement of the outstanding loan balance by November 2022. As at 30 June 2025, the aggregate amount owed by Borrower A to the Assignor under Loan Agreement A, including the outstanding principal and accrued interest amounted to HK$7,396,192.

(ii) Poor repayment history of in relation to Loan Agreement B:

We noted that the agreement matured on 10 May 2018 and Borrower B had only repaid a sum of HK$1,286,000 to the Assignor by the end of March 2025. Furthermore, repayments were made only intermittently up to that date, and all repayment made since 2019 were partial repayments only, and no further repayment was made by Borrower B up till 31 October 2025. We view that this pattern reflects a delaying posture and signifies a low level of commitment and willingness by Borrower B to fully settle the loan. The Assignor had issued legal demand letters to Borrower B in September 2023 and October 2024, followed by debt clearance notices on a monthly basis from June 2025 to August 2025. As at 30 June 2025, the aggregate amount owed by Borrower B to the Assignor under Loan Agreement B, including the outstanding principal and accrued interest amounted to HK$6,794,000.

(iii) Poor repayment history of in relation to Loan Agreement C:

We noted that the agreement matured on 6 July 2020 and Borrower C had repaid a sum of HK$1,020,000 to the Assignor by the end of March 2025. Furthermore, repayments were made only intermittently up to that date, and all repayment made since 2022 were partial repayments only, and no further repayment was made by Borrower C up till 31 October 2025. We view that this pattern reflects a delaying posture and signifies a low level of commitment and willingness by Borrower C to fully settle the loan. The Assignor had issued legal demand letters to Borrower C in September 2023 and October 2024, followed by debt clearance notices on a monthly basis from June 2025 to August 2025. As at 30 June 2025, the aggregate amount owed by Borrower C to the Assignor under Loan Agreement C, including the outstanding principal and accrued interest amounted to HK$2,892,698.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(iv) Rationale for assigning the loans to Assignee

Money lending is one of the business segments of the Group. Prior to the entering into of each Loan Agreements, the Group carried out credit risk assessments on each of the Borrowers, taking into account, among other things, the financial background of the Borrowers, the purpose of their borrowing and their potential repayment ability. Nevertheless, in light of the abovementioned lack of repayment by the Borrowers, the Assignee, being the executive Director of the Company (Virtual Mind Holding Company Limited) and the director of the Assignor (Delta Wealth Finance Limited), has agreed to take full responsibility to recover the outstanding loan balances from the Borrowers by assignment of the rights, titles and benefits of the Assigned Debt to her at the Consideration of HK$11,399,686, which equals to the original aggregated principal amount of the Loan Agreements less all repayment made by the Borrowers, thereby reaching full principal recovery for the Group.

As disclosed in the "Letter from the Board" of the Circular, according to the Assignee, each of the Borrowers was not introduced or procured by her, and she has no relationship or side arrangements with the Borrowers, and the Borrowers are not connected persons of the Assignee. As at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the 1,000,000 underlying shares of the Company (representing approximately 0.11% of the total issued share capital of the Company) by virtue of the award shares granted to her under the share award scheme of the Company adopted in June 2024, the Assignee does not have any interest in the Shares.

(v) Benefits to the Assignor and the Assignee

As further discussed in the section headed "3. Principal terms of the Sales and Purchase Agreement – The Consideration" below, the Company would forego the accrued interest of the Loan Agreements by conducting the Assignment; however, it enables full recovery of the original principal amount of the Loan Agreements, as the Consideration of the Assignment plus all repayments made by the Borrowers equals to the aggregate principal amount of the Loan Agreements of HK$20,500,000.

On the other hand, the Assignee gains the right to pursue the Assigned Debt including outstanding accrued interest, though given the Borrowers' poor financial credibility and repayment records, we view the likelihood of such recovery is very low.

  • 24 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(vi) Our assessment of the reasonableness of the Assignment

Without the Assignment, the Borrowers' poor repayment track record and existing impairment already made by the Group demonstrated a very low likelihood of substantially recovering either principal or accrued interest portion of the loans. By contrast, the Assignment generates immediate positive cash flow (starting with the HK$1,099,686 deposit) for deployment as working capital, and the Consideration plus all prior repayments (including interest portions) equals to the aggregate principal of HK$20,500,000, resulting in full principal recovery of the loans. We, therefore, concur with the Board that the Assignment mitigates losses. We are also of the view the Assignment minimises uncertainty and the Group's risk of non-recoverability by providing a one-off mechanism to recover a substantial portion of the long-outstanding amounts within a foreseeable timeframe.

Moreover, the Assignee's credibility, evidenced by (i) her directorship in the Company and substantial shareholdings/directorships in two listed companies, Finsoft Financial Investment Holdings Limited (stock code: 8018) and InvesTech Holdings Limited (stock code: 1087); and (ii) over 15 years' experience in money lending and debt recovery, far exceeds that of the Borrowers. We therefore view the Assignment as the more certain path to principal recovery and loss mitigation.

As disclosed in the "Letter from the Board" of the Circular, the Directors intended to apply the net proceeds from the Assignment of HK$11,129,686 as general working capital of the Group, and the Assignment is expected to increase the net assets of the Group of approximately HK$6,404,958, arising from reversal of the HK$12,088,162 impairment allowance on the Assigned Debt as at 30 June 2025, less approximately HK$5,683,204 to be written-off on the outstanding principal and interest (details in section headed "4. Financial effects of the Assignment" below).

As stated in the Company's annual report for the year ended 31 December 2024, while the Group will continue money lending to existing customers, it plans to gradually scale down this segment. The Assignment aligns with this strategy and does not disrupt ongoing operations.

In light of the foregoing, and in particular (i) loss mitigation and interest protection; (ii) elimination of non-recoverability risk for the outstanding principal; (iii) our analysis of the Consideration (section "3. Principal terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement" below); (iv) use of net proceeds as general working capital; and (v) expected net asset increase (section "4. Financial effects of the Assignment" below), we consider the Assignment, the Sale and Purchase Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereunder to be fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

  • 26 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Consideration

As noted from the “Letter from the Board” of the Circular, the Consideration of HK$11,399,686, represents the difference between the original aggregated principal amount of the Assigned Debt of HK$20,500,000 and all repayments (including interest payments) previously made by the Borrowers up to 30 June 2025 of HK$9,100,314. The Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Assignor and the Assignee, having considered: (i) the outstanding principal and interests owed by the Borrowers under the Loan Agreements; (ii) the low likelihood of recovering the Assigned Debt and the interests thereon; (iii) the significant time and costs expected to be incurred by the Group if the Assignor pursues legal action against the Borrowers to enforce the Loan Agreements; and (iv) the current global circumstances and uncertainties in the economic outlook.

Since money lending is a business segment of the Company, we understand that the Company had entered into the Loan Agreements with intention to earn profits in the form of accrued interest along with the return of the original loan principal. However, the following factors have caused a negative impact to the Company:

(i) given the poor repayment track record of the Borrowers, the Company was not only unable to generate expected profits from interest payments, but also faces a material risk of non-recovery of even the original loan principal, which in fact has been recorded as a loss of the Company by the form of impairment;

(ii) although interest continues to accrue on the outstanding defaulted loans in accordance with the Loan Agreements, these accruals are merely notional and do not result in actual profit or cash inflow to the Group, as the Borrowers have ceased making further payments; and

(iii) while prior repayments by the Borrowers included both interest and principal, cash is fungible, rendering it impractical to distinguish between these components in the Group’s bank account, especially given that repayments could not fully cover the principal portion of the Assigned Debt.

While the Assignment results in the Company foregoing the accrued interest under the Loan Agreements, it enables the Company to transfer the risk of non-recoverability of the original loan principal to the Assignee. We note that the low likelihood of recovering the Assigned Debt is reflected from the fact that it is already impaired, and that the Assignment has a positive financial impact to the Company where there will be an increase in net asset of HK$6,404,958, resulting from the reversal of the impairment allowance made on the Assigned Debt of HK$12,088,162 as of 30 June 2025 less HK$5,683,204 to be written off over the receivable from the Group of approximately HK$17,082,890. At the same time, it ensures full recovery of the original principal from its impairment, as the aggregate of all prior repayments by the Borrowers and the Consideration equals the original principal amount of HK$20,500,000. Given the very low likelihood of full recovery and the Group’s prior recognition of impairments on the Assigned Debt, we consider it fair and reasonable not to include accrued interest in the Consideration. While the Assignee has the right to use her own time and efforts, and if necessary, initiate legal actions at her own cost to pursue recovery of the Assigned Debt including outstanding accrued interest after the Assignment, we consider the likelihood of such recovery to be very low, given the Borrowers’ poor financial credibility and repayment record as mentioned above.

  • 27 -

Meanwhile, we also note that where the Company attempts to assign the Assigned Debt to other third-party recovery agents, the consideration offered is less than the full amount of the outstanding principal for distressed assets such as the Assigned Debt to mitigate the non-recoverability risk. According to the Management, the Assignee was the only buyer interested in acquiring the Assigned Debt at the Consideration of at least HK$11,399,686 (where the aggregate of the consideration and all prior repayments by Borrowers at least equals the original principal amount of HK$20,500,000). According to the Management, the Assignor had contacted representatives of three companies and invited them to give their quotation on the potential assignment of the Assigned Debt, and all declined to proceed with the loan assignment at the outstanding principal amount and refused to provide a quotation. We have searched the names of these three companies on the list of existing money lenders licensees (as at 30 September 2025) published by the Companies Registry, and note that all three companies are licensed money lenders.

Having considered the above, and in particular (i) the Borrowers’ unsatisfactory historical repayment records; (ii) the respective default status of the Loan Agreements; (iii) the Assignor’s extensive but unsuccessful effort to recover the outstanding principal and interests owed by the Borrowers; (iv) the sum of the Consideration and all the repayments (including interest payments) previously made by the Borrowers up to 30 June 2025 equals the aggregate principal amount of the Loan Agreements of HK$20,500,000, thereby enabling full principal recovery; and (v) the uncertain time and costs that would be incurred if the Assignor were to pursue legal action against each of the Borrowers, we are of the view that the Consideration is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. It enables the Group to recover the original principal amount of the Loan Agreements in full in a foreseeable timeframe and alleviate the Group’s inherent risk of non-recoverability associated with the Assigned Debt and mitigate loss.

The 12-month instalment arrangement

Based on the summary repayment table prepared by the Management and our review of the repayment documents, we note that up to 30 June 2025, the Borrowers had collectively repaid approximately HK$9,100,000. In response to the Borrowers’ default, the Assignor had taken different recovery actions, including issuing legal demand letters and debt clearance notices and engaging in discussions with the Borrowers. Based on the repayment record obtained from the Management, we noted that the Borrowers failed to repay either the accrued interest or the principal portions of the outstanding loans in full. No concrete repayment schedules were successfully formulated or implemented, and the Borrowers consistently adopted a delaying posture. Consequently, the Group was unable to ascertain the Borrowers’ capacity to settle the outstanding amounts as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Given the Borrowers’ unsatisfactory historical repayment record and the Loan Agreements having been in default for over 24 months, we concur with the Board’s anticipation that the Borrowers are unlikely to repay the Assigned Debt in full and on a timely basis.

In addition, the time and costs expected to be incurred by taking legal action by the Assignor against the Borrowers to enforce the Loan Agreements are uncertain and hard to estimate. Meanwhile the Assignment enables the Group to save time and resources that will otherwise be incurred for recovering and collecting the Assigned Debt and provides the Group with a foreseeable timeframe for recovery of the long-outstanding amount owed under the Loan Agreements. We therefore concur with the Board’s view that executing the Assignment is in the best interest of the Company, as opposed to initiating legal proceedings against the Borrowers.


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Furthermore as assessed above, the Assignee’s financial credibility, evidenced by directorship and shareholding in two companies listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange, couple with over 15 years of experience in money lending and debt recovery, is significantly stronger than that of the Borrowers. We assess that, in the absence the Assignment, the loans would likely become further impaired and/or require write-offs within 12 months, given the Borrowers’ poor repayment history and dim recovery prospects. By contrast, completion of the Assignment ensures the Company receives the full Consideration of HK$11,399,686 from the Assignee, delivering an immediate and sustained positive impact on the Group’s cash flow. Although the Remaining Sum is payable in 12 monthly instalments, the Assignee provides far greater certainty of full principal recovery within a defined timeframe than the Borrowers, whose repayment track record are irregular.

The Consideration of HK$11,399,686 as a significant inflow to the Company, particularly given its cash and bank balance of only HK$5,786,000 as at 30 June 2025 (as disclosed in its interim report for the six months ended 30 June 2025). We are of the view that the 12-month instalment structure is pragmatic; it accommodates the Assignee’s potential liquidity needs while allowing time to pursue recovery from the Borrowers or arrange personal funds for instalments. This structure does not undermine payment certainty, given the Assignee’s demonstrated financial strength. The Company can thus rely on receiving the full Consideration — albeit in instalments — with high confidence, starting immediately with the Deposit of HK$1,099,686. This will meaningfully strengthen its cash position, enabling deployment toward operations and potential returns.

Lastly, in assessing whether the 12-month instalment arrangement is fair and reasonable, we note the absence of comparable offers (where the aggregate of the consideration and all prior repayments by Borrowers at least equals the original principal amount of HK$20,500,000) for the Assigned Debt with alternative payment terms. Our evaluation is therefore limited to comparing the likely outcomes, with or without the Assignment, over the next 12 months. As concluded above, the Borrowers have demonstrated a clear inability and unwillingness to repay either the principal or accrued interest in full on a timely basis. In contrast, the Assignment secures full recovery of the original principal through payments from the Assignee, whose financial credibility far exceeds that of the Borrowers. Accordingly, we consider the 12-month instalment structure to be fair and reasonable.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As disclosed in the "Letter from the Board" of the Circular, the Assignee undertakes to use her best endeavour to liaise with the Borrowers to recover the Assigned Debt, and shall use the net amount so successfully recovered to settle the outstanding Consideration as soon as possible within 10 Business Days upon receipt of the same, and settle the Consideration in entirety within one year from the date of Completion in any event. Accordingly, we are of the view that the 12 monthly instalment structure of the Remaining Sum represents a reasonable debt collection timeframe for the Assignee and aligns with her undertaking to use best endeavour to recover the Assigned Debt from the Borrowers while also undertaking to settle the Consideration in entirety within one year from the date of Completion in any event. As further disclosed in the "Letter from the Board" of the Circular, this undertaking aims to accelerate the recovery of the Assigned Debt, thereby creating mutual benefits for both the Assignor and the Assignee. If the Borrowers repay the Assigned Debt, the Assignee will use those funds to settle the outstanding Consideration owed to the Assignor ahead of the payment schedule of the Remaining Sum under the Sale and Purchase Agreement. This mechanism allows the Assignee to be released from her remaining payment obligations under the Assignment upon full settlement while providing the Company with faster access to funds, improved cash flow, and reduced exposure to the Assigned Debt as the Assignee remains obligated to pay the Remaining Sum in full over 12 months regardless of whether recovery succeeds. The recovery progress is thus driven by the Assignee's proactive efforts to collect the Assigned Debt as soon as possible, with all received funds directed towards settling the Consideration, ultimately benefiting the Company as the holding company of the Assignor.

Having considered the above, and in particular (i) the Borrowers' default of the Loan Agreements which have exceeded 24 months; (ii) the unsatisfactory historical repayment record of the Borrowers; (iii) the uncertainty on the time and costs that are expected to be incurred if legal action against the Borrowers will be taken; (iv) the reasons for the Assignment as stated under the section headed "2. Reasons for and benefits of the Assignment and use of proceeds"; and (v) the potential financial effects of the Assignment as referred to under the section headed "4. Financial effects of the Assignment", we consider that the Assignment alleviates the Group's inherent risk of non-recoverability associated with the Assigned Debt, and concur with the Directors' view that the Consideration and the payment terms is fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms and that the entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Collateral

As disclosed in the "Letter from the Board" of the Circular, pursuing formal legal recovery is a protracted process fraught with uncertainties, including potential disputes and substantial costs. While the loans are secured by collateral of three necklaces (the "Collateral"), we have reviewed two quotations from jewellery trading companies for the Collateral obtained by the Company and we note that the preliminary quotes were not more than HK$5 million and HK$7 million, respectively, which fall significantly short of covering the outstanding balance and the Consideration. We understand from Management that the quotations were based on the testing certificate available and specifications of the Collateral. However, as the Collateral remains pledged and has not yet been offered for sale or subjected

  • 30 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

to formal negotiations, obtaining a reliable market price is inherently challenging. Jewellery companies typically provide more concrete valuations only during auction or consignment processes, where the items can be actively matched with potential buyers through competitive bidding. In the absence of such a process, the preliminary quotes should be regarded as indicative only and are unlikely to reflect the realizable value upon enforcement. Furthermore, jewellery trading is subject to fluctuating timing and market demand. In general, the value of such collateral has been on a downtrend, which further diminishes the likelihood of achieving a recovery sufficient to cover the outstanding amounts even if enforcement were pursued.

As further disclosed in the "Letter from the Board" of the Circular, in practice, enforcing and realising the collateral under the Loan Agreements may entail considerable legal and other expenses and time costs. For instance, to comply with common law duties to act in good faith and take reasonable care in obtaining the best price reasonably achievable during the sale, it would typically require retaining qualified professionals for independent valuations, engaging auction houses or sale agents to facilitate a transparent and proper disposal, and seeking legal advice to review the process, ensure procedural compliance, and mitigate risks of future challenges in ownership issues and resolve potential valuation or debt disputes. These factors, combined with potential delays due to prevailing market conditions, could also lead to a foreseeable reduction in the ultimate recovery value. Moreover, the unrealized value of the collateral, as currently quoted, would be further subject to prevailing market conditions at the time of sale. In contrast, the Assignment offers a definitive, one-time mechanism for the Group to recover a substantial portion of these long-overdue amounts owed under the Loan Agreements within a foreseeable timeframe, without incurring the enforcement risks and expenditures. Furthermore, the aggregate amount of the Consideration of the Assignment plus and all previous repayments made by the Borrowers, would allow the Company to make full recovery of the original principal amount of the Loan Agreements, thus mitigating loss.

Based on the above, and in particular (i) pursuing formal legal recovery is assessed to be a protracted fraught with uncertainties, including potential disputes and substantial costs; and (ii) the highest preliminary offered price for the Collateral is well below the Consideration, we are of the view that further pursuit of the outstanding balance through enforcing and realising the Collateral and subsequent sale process to be uneconomical.

4. Financial effects of the Assignment

As disclosed in the "Letter from the Board" of the Circular, based on, among other things, the Consideration of HK$11,399,686 and the related expenses, a gain of approximately HK$6,404,958 is expected to be recorded for the Assignment, being the difference between (i) the Consideration; and (ii) the book value of the Assigned Debt as at 30 June 2025 of approximately HK$4,994,728 and the amount of the related expenses. There will also be an increase in net assets of approximately HK$6,404,958, resulting from the reversal of the impairment allowance made on the Assigned Debt of approximately HK$12,088,162 as of 30 June 2025 less approximately HK$5,683,204 to be written off over the receivable of the Group. We are of the view that this is a positive financial impact on the Group.

The aforesaid estimation is for illustrative purpose only and does not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will be after the Assignment.
