LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The consideration for the Acquisition was HK$94,400,000, which was satisfied by the allotment and issue of the Acquisition Consideration Shares at the Issue Price of HK$1.857 per Acquisition Consideration Share by the Company to Starways Global. Completion of the Acquisition took place on 29 January 2019 and the Acquisition Consideration Shares were allotted and issued to Starways Global.

Total professional fee of HK$1,361,376 was incurred by the Company in connection with the Acquisition, which included professional fees paid to financial adviser, Hong Kong legal adviser, PRC legal adviser, auditors and valuer. No capital or debt investments were made into GE Group subsequent to the completion of the Acquisition.

The Unwinding

Subsequent to the completion of the Acquisition and in around June 2019, it came to the attention of the Board that GE International failed to provide sufficient accounting records and incidental documents, which resulted Starways Global and Mr. Wang in potential breaches of certain warranties and undertakings in the Sale and Purchase Agreement. As a result, a disclaimer of opinion has also been issued by the Auditor in the 2019 Annual Report in relation to the acquisition of GE Group for the year ended 31 March 2019 as the Auditor was unable to obtain reasonable assurance on the occurrence and existence, accuracy, valuations, rights and obligations, completeness, classification, disclosure and presentation of the transactions and the assets and liabilities related to GE Group for the year ended 31 March 2019. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Starways Global and Mr. Wang have not remedied the potential breaches of the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

In order to safeguard the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole, the Board considered that the best way was to unwind the Acquisition by the return of all the 50,842,000 Acquisition Consideration Shares issued to Starways Global. However, since Starways Global has sold 10,126,000 Acquisition Consideration Shares on market between January and June 2019 upon completion of the Acquisition, the alternate way to unwind the Acquisition was by the return of 40,716,000 Acquisition Consideration Shares Starways Global currently hold plus the Settlement Cash in the amount of HK$18,803,982 (being 10,126,000 Acquisition Consideration Shares at the issue price of HK$1.857).

As such, on 17 September 2019 (after trading hours), the Company, Starways Global, Mr. Wang and GE International entered into the Settlement Agreement.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, (i) further details of the Settlement Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the Share Buy-backs; (ii) the recommendation of the Independent Board Committee; (iii) a letter of advice from the Independent Financial Adviser; (iv) the notice of the SGM; and (v) other information as set out in appendices to this circular as required by the Listing Rules, the Share Buy-backs Code and the Takeovers Code.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As disclosed in the 2019 Annual Report, the Auditor issued a disclaimer of opinion in relation to GE Group, which is as set out below:

"On 29 January 2019, the Group had acquired the entire equity interests in Great Empire International Group Limited and its subsidiaries (the "Great Empire Group"), whose principal activity is engaged in the provision of biotechnology and biological gene technology technical services (the "Biological Business"). The details of the acquisition are set out in note 33 to the consolidated financial statements. Revenue generated from the Biological Business during the year ended 31 March 2019 amounted to approximately HK$13,904,000 (the "Revenue of Biological Business").

During the course of our audit, we noticed certain inconsistencies between third parties documents and information provided by the Group and that we have obtained directly for revenue transactions under the Biological Business. We were unable to perform practicable audit procedures to verify the inconsistencies in the documents and information available to us, and to carry out satisfactory audit procedures to obtain reasonable assurance regarding the occurrence, completeness and accuracy of the Revenue of Biological Business, and the corresponding trade receivables balances of HK$14,751,000 as at 31 March 2019.

Furthermore, the intangible assets and goodwill arising from the acquisition of the Great Empire Group, amounted to HK$110,943,000 and HK$48,430,000, respectively, had been allocated to the Biological Business cash generating units. The fair values has been estimated using the cash flows projections from the Biological Business. Due to the inconsistencies in documents and information available to us mentioned above and limitation in the scope of work, we were unable to assess whether the fair values as at the acquisition date and the recoverable amount of these assets as at 31 March 2019 are reliably measured. There are no alternative audit procedures that we could perform to satisfy ourselves as to whether the carrying amounts of the intangible assets and goodwill, the associated amortisation expenses attributed to the intangible assets and tax relating to the Biological Business were free from material misstatement.

In addition, because of the inconsistencies in the documents and information described above, there were no alternative audit procedures we could perform to satisfy ourselves as to the occurrence and existence, accuracy, valuations, rights and obligations, completeness, classification, disclosure and presentation of the transactions and the assets and liabilities related to the Biological Business. Accordingly, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine whether any adjustments to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2019 were necessary."

Assuming the Unwinding takes place on or before 31 March 2020, the financial reports of the Company for the two years ending 31 March 2020 and 2021 will contain disclaimer of opinion and qualified opinion, respectively, by the Auditor, as there were no satisfactory audit procedures to ascertain the occurrence and existence, accuracy, valuations, rights and obligations, completeness, classification, disclosure and presentation of the transactions and the assets and liabilities related to the Biological Business that form opening balances and

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Earnings

Subject to the review of the Auditor, based on the interim results announcement of the Group for the six months ended 30 September 2019, the Group currently expects to record a loss arising from the Unwinding of approximately HK$69.4 million (before tax) upon completion of the Unwinding, which is mainly caused by the difference between the net asset value (before impairment) of the GE Group of approximately HK$127.6 million as at 30 September 2019, and the value of the consideration which includes Settlement Cash of approximately HK$18.8 million plus the fair value of the 40,716,000 Settlement Shares of approximately HK$44.4 million calculated by the quoted market closing price of the Shares of HK$1.09 on the Latest Practicable Date. The Board considers that the share price, as at the closing price on the Latest Practicable Date, of HK$1.09 per share represent the best estimate of the fair value of each Settlement Share for determination of fair value of GE Group and recognition of impairment loss. The closing price per Share dropped from HK$2.30 as at 29 January 2019 to HK$1.09 as at the Latest Practicable Date, had resulted to the decrease in fair value of the Acquisition Consideration Shares by approximately HK$61.5 million. Accordingly, the Group's loss per Share for the six months ended 30 September 2019 would increase from approximately HK8.5 cents to approximately HK29.65 cents.

It should be noted that the expected loss is only an estimate which assumes the completion of the Unwinding had taken place on the Latest Practicable Date. The actual loss on the Unwinding will depend on the fair value of the Settlement Shares and the net assets value of GE Group as at the completion date of the Unwinding.

The Board intends to apply the net proceeds from the Unwinding (after deducting relevant costs and expenses in connection with the Unwinding) as general working capital and for funding future business development opportunities of the Group.

Working Capital

Since there is no cash outflow required by the Company in order to effect the Share Buy-backs and the Company will receive the Settlement Cash of approximately HK$18.8 million, the Directors consider that the Share Buy-backs will increase the working capital of the Remaining Group upon Completion.

Assets and liabilities

As at 30 September 2019, the assets and liabilities of the Group amounted to approximately HK$261.3 million and HK$95.3 million respectively. Upon completion of the Unwinding and the Share Buy-backs, the assets of the Remaining Group will decrease by approximately 46.7% to approximately HK$139.4 million after exclusion of the assets of GE Group. The liabilities of the Remaining Group will decrease by approximately 78.8% to approximately HK$20.2 million after exclusion of the liabilities of GE Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Net assets

On the assumption that Completion occurred on 30 September 2019, it is expected that the net asset value of the Remaining Group attributable to the owners of the Company will decrease from approximately HK$166.0 million to approximately HK$119.2 million. Accordingly, the Group's net assets attributable to the owners of the Company per Share as at 30 September 2019 would decrease from approximately HK54.4 cents to approximately HK39.1 cents.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

The purpose of the entering into of the Settlement Agreement to unwind the Acquisition is to resolve the dispute arising from the Acquisition.

Subsequent to the completion of the Acquisition and in around June 2019, it came to the attention of the Board that GE International failed to provide sufficient accounting records and incidental documents, which resulted Starways Global and Mr. Wang in potential breaches of certain warranties and undertakings in the Sale and Purchase Agreement. The Company has requested Starways Global and Mr. Wang to remedy the potential breaches of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and has reserved the right to take legal action against Starways Global and Mr. Wang. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Starways Global and Mr. Wang have not remedied the potential breaches of the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

As a result, a disclaimer of opinion has also been issued by the Auditor in the 2019 Annual Report in relation to the acquisition of GE Group for the year ended 31 March 2019 as the Auditor was unable to obtain reasonable assurance on the occurrence and existence, accuracy, valuations, rights and obligations, completeness, classification, disclosure and presentation of the transactions and the assets and liabilities related to GE Group for the year ended 31 March 2019.

Having considered (i) the time to be spent by the management of the Group and cost implications in the event of litigation among the Company, Starways Global and Mr. Wang may have a negative impact on the operations and financial performance of the Group; (ii) the doubtful prospect of GE Group; (iii) the cessation of GE Group to be subsidiaries of the Company upon Completion will improve the financial position of the Group; (iv) the Implied Settlement Consideration is the same as the consideration under the Acquisition; (v) the proceeds of the Unwinding will improve the liquidity of the Group and allow reallocation of financial resources to existing business operations of the Group; (vi) the professional fee only amounts to approximately 1% of the original consideration of the Acquisition; and (vii) given the expected loss of approximately HK$69.4 million (before tax) upon Completion was only an accounting loss with no actual payout, the Board is of the view the Unwinding at the Implied Settlement Consideration is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole, and considers it is not necessary to take any measures against Starways Global and Mr. Wang for the above loss arising from the Unwinding.

- 18 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The terms of the Settlement Agreement were arrived at after arm's length negotiations among the Company, Starways Global and Mr. Wang. The Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors whose views are set out in the letter from the Independent Board Committee in this circular) have confirmed that the Unwinding, which included the Share Buy-backs and the terms of the Settlement Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

INFORMATION ON THE REMAINING GROUP

The Company is established under the laws of Bermuda with limited liability and is an investment holding company. The principal activities of the Group are sale and distribution of mobile handsets and their components.

The Group's strategy after the Unwinding is to focus on its existing businesses. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has not entered into any agreement, arrangement or undertaking, nor does it has any intention to (i) introduce any major changes in the business, including any redeployment of the fixed assets of the Group; or (ii) discontinue the employment of the employees of the Group other than in the ordinary course of business of the Group.

REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

Share Buy-backs Code

The transfer and cancel of the Settlement Shares constitutes an off-market share buy-back by the Company under the Share Buy-backs Code. The Company has made an application to the Executive for approval of the transfer and cancel of the Settlement Shares pursuant to Rule 2 of the Share Buy-backs Code. The Executive's approval, if granted, will normally be conditional upon, among other things, approval of the transfer and cancel of the Settlement Shares by at least three-fourths of the votes cast on a poll by the Independent Shareholders present in person or by proxy at a meeting to be held for such purposes.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, other than the 13.4% interest in the total number of issued Shares of the Company owned by Starways Global, neither Starways Global nor any party acting in concert with it:

  1. holds, owns, controls or directs any shares, convertible securities, warrants, options or derivatives in respect of the Shares;
  2. has secured an irrevocable commitment to vote in favour of or against the Settlement Agreement and/or the transfer and cancel of the Settlement Shares;
  3. holds outstanding warrants, options or securities convertible into Shares or derivatives in respect of the Shares;

- 19 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. has any arrangement (whether by way of option, indemnity or otherwise) or contracts in relation to the Shares or shares of Starways Global which might be material to the Settlement Agreement and/or the transfer and cancel of the Settlement Shares;
  2. has any agreement or arrangement to which Starways Global and parties acting in concert with it is a party which relates to the circumstances in which it may or may not invoke or seek to invoke a pre-condition or a condition to the Settlement Agreement and/or the transfer and cancel of the Settlement Shares; or
  3. has borrowed or lent any relevant securities (as defined in Note 4 to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code) in the Company.

Listing Rules

As one of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the transactions contemplated under the Settlement Agreement exceeds 25% but is less than 75%, the entering into of the Settlement Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder constitute a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Rule 14.33 of the Listing Rules.

As Starways Global holds 40,716,000 Shares, representing approximately 13.4% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, Starways Global is a substantial Shareholder (as defined under the Listing Rules) and thus a connected person of the Company. Therefore, the Unwinding constitutes a connected transaction for the Company and is subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The following is the full text of the letter of advice from Pelican Financial Limited, the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders, in respect of the transactions contemplated under the Settlement Agreement, which has been prepared for the purpose of inclusion in this circular.

PELICAN FINANCIAL LIMITED

15/F, East Exchange Tower

38-40 Leighton Road

Causeway Bay

Hong Kong

12 December 2019

To the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders of Alpha Professional Holdings Limited

Dear Sirs,

MAJOR DISPOSAL AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO

    1. UNWINDING OF ACQUISITION; AND
  1. PROPOSED OFF-MARKET SHARE BUY-BACK

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the terms of the Settlement Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including but not limited to the Unwinding and the Share Buy-backs), details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the "Board Letter") contained in the circular of the Company dated 12 December 2019 (the "Circular"), of which this letter forms a part. Terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular unless the context requires otherwise.

With reference to the reasons set out in the Board Letter, on 17 September 2019 (after trading hours), the Company, Starways Global, Mr. Wang and GE International entered into the Settlement Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) the Sale and Purchase Agreement shall be rescinded and void from its inception and each of the Parties shall be discharged from all liability and/or further liability, demands, claims and proceedings arising out of or in connection with the Sale and Purchase Agreement; (ii) all the Settlement Shares shall be transferred by Starways Global to the Company for cancellation; (iii) Starways Global shall pay the Company the Settlement Cash in the amount of HK$18,803,982; and

  1. the Company shall transfer its entire legal and beneficial interest in the Sale Shares to Starways Global.

As one of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the transactions contemplated under the Settlement Agreement exceeds 25% but is less than 75%, the entering into of the Settlement Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including but not limited to the Unwinding and the Share Buy-backs) constitute a major transaction for the

- 25 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Rule 14.33 of the Listing Rules.

As Starways Global holds 40,716,000 Shares, representing approximately 13.4% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, Starways Global is a substantial shareholder (as defined under the Listing Rules) and thus a connected person of the Company. Therefore, the Unwinding constitutes a connected transaction for the Company and is subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The transfer and cancellation of the Settlement Shares constitute an off-market share buy-back by the Company under the Share Buy-backs Code. The Company has made an application to the Executive for approval of the transfer and cancellation of the Settlement Shares pursuant to Rule 2 of the Share Buy-backs Code. The Executive's approval, if granted, will normally be conditional upon, among other things, approval of the transfer and cancel of the Settlement Shares by at least three-fourths of the votes cast on a poll by the Independent Shareholders present in person or by proxy at a meeting to be held for such purposes.

The Board currently comprises three executive Directors and three independent non-executive Directors. The Independent Board Committee, which currently comprises all the independent non-executive Directors, Mr. Cui Songhe, Mr. Khoo Wun Fat William, Mr. Lin Tao and Mr. Li Chak Hung, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders as to the Settlement Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including but not limited to the Unwinding and the Share Buy-backs). We have been appointed by the Company as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this respect and such appointment has been approved by the Independent Board Committee.

We are not connected with the Directors, chief executive or substantial shareholders of the Company or any of their respective associates and also there is no relationships or interests with the Company or any other parties that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to our independence to act as independent financial adviser to the Company and therefore we considered that we are suitable to give independent advice to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders. In the last two years, there was no other engagement between the Company and us. 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 or the Directors, chief executive or substantial shareholders of the Company or any of their respective associates.

Our role is to provide you with our independent opinion and recommendation as to (i) whether the Settlement Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including but not limited to the Unwinding and the Share Buy-backs) are fair and reasonable, in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole; and (ii) how the

- 26 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Independent Shareholders should vote in respect of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Settlement Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including but not limited to the Unwinding and the Share Buy-backs).

PRINCIPAL FACTORS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION

In formulating our opinion in respect of the terms of the Settlement Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including but not limited to the Unwinding and the Share Buy-backs), we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Background information of the Group, Starways Global and the GE Group

  1. The Group

According to the 2019 Annual Report and before the completion of the Unwinding, the Group is principally engaged in the trading of mobile handsets and their components and provision of biotechnology and biological gene technology technical services.

Set out below is a summary of the financial information of the Group for the two financial years ended 31 March 2019 and the six months ended 30 September 2018 and 2019, as extracted from the 2019 Annual Report and the 2019 Interim Results Announcement, respectively.

Total revenue of the Group for the financial years ended 31 March 2018 and 2019 amounted to approximately HK$293.3 million and HK$365.4 million respectively, representing a growth of approximately 24.6%, which was mainly attributable to the increase in the sale of mobile handsets and components to

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

customers in Hong Kong and South Africa. For the financial year ended 31 March 2019, approximately 3.8% of the Group's total revenue was contributed by the Biological Business generated by the GE Group, of which the entire equity interests were acquired by the Group on 29 January 2019. Gross profit of the Group increased by approximately 35.8% from approximately HK$43.1 million to HK$58.5 million between the two financial years ended 31 March 2018 and 2019, while profit for the year increased from a loss of approximately HK$175.7 million for the year ended 31 March 2018 to a profit of approximately HK$28.6 million for the year ended 31 March 2019. The growth in profit for the year was mainly attributable to the net effect of the increase in turnover and gross profit and administrative expenses and the decrease in loss on assets transferred and debts discharged under the scheme of arrangement (the "Scheme of Arrangement"), which was a part of the Group's restructuring proposal to discharge and settle the liabilities of the Company in 2017 (Please refer to the Company's circular dated 25 September 2017 for details on the Scheme of Arrangement), and relevant expenses. According to the 2019 Annual Report, upon completion of the Scheme of Arrangement during the year ended 31 March 2018, the Company recognised a loss on assets transferred and debts discharged under the Scheme of Arrangement and relevant expenses of approximately HK$198.7 million, which led to the Group's loss for the year of approximately HK$175.7 million for the period. According to the 2019 Annual Report, despite the volatile and uncertain global economy and the continuously rising raw material prices, with the joint effort of the Company's management, the Group was not only able to lock orders and arrange raw materials ahead of schedule and avoid the impact of price fluctuations on the business performance of the mobile handset segment, but also bring significant growth to the business and sales of the Group.

According to the 2019 Interim Results Announcement, given the reasons for the Unwinding, the Group had discontinued its Biological Business for the six months ended 30 September 2019, as a result, the Group only had one continuing operation which was its sale of mobile handsets and components, whose revenue had decreased sharply as (i) major international mobile handset manufacturers strengthened their positions in the Company's target market; and (ii) the international mobile handset market experienced an overall slackened performance. In addition to the decrease in its sale of mobile handsets and components, as a result of an impairment loss associated with the disposal of GE Group of approximately HK$66.2 million, the Group recorded a loss of approximately HK$88.5 million for the six months ended 30 September 2019 compared to a profit of approximately HK$11.6 million for the corresponding period in 2018. The said impairment loss is calculated by the net asset value of the GE Group less the value of consideration, which includes Settlement Cash of approximately HK$18.8 million plus the fair value of the 40,716,000 Settlement Shares of approximately HK$46.8 million calculated by the quoted market closing price of the Shares of HK$1.15 per Share on 27 November 2019. The impairment loss mainly comprises impairment of goodwill of approximately HK$48.4 million and intangible assets of approximately HK$16.7 million respectively.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Pursuant to Rule 14.58 of the Listing Rules, the Company is required to disclose the GE Group Financial Information, however, in light of the disclaimer of opinion issued by the Auditor in the 2019 Annual Report, the Directors are of the view that the GE Group Financial Information may not be true and accurate.

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should not rely on the GE Group Financial Information when they deal or contemplate dealing in the Shares or other securities (if any) of the Company.

On the other hand, assuming the Unwinding takes place on or before 31 March 2020, the financial reports of the Company for the two years ending 31 March 2020 and 2021 will contain the disclaimer of opinion and qualified opinion, respectively, issued by the Auditor, as there were no satisfactory audit procedures to ascertain the occurrence and existence, accuracy, valuations, rights and obligations, completeness, classification, disclosure and presentation of the transactions and the assets and liabilities related to the Biological Business that form opening balances and corresponding figures carried forward from 1 April 2019. The disclaimer of opinion and qualified opinion in relation to the GE Group will be removed from the financial year ending 31 March 2022.

GE Group has been held by the Company for less than 12 months prior to the Unwinding. The original acquisition cost of GE Group to the Group was HK$94,400,000, which was determined with references to (i) the valuation of 100% equity interests in Zoken Biology, the principal operating subsidiary of GE Group; and (ii) the historical financial performance of GE Group and its future prospect.

As stated in the Company's announcement dated 24 December 2018, as at 31 October 2018, the appraisal value of 100% equity interests of Zoken Biology is approximately HK$118 million, the valuation was prepared by an independent valuer engaged by the Company using market approach.

2. Background of, reasons for and benefits of entering into the Settlement Agreement

As set out in the Board Letter, the purpose of entering into the Settlement Agreement is to unwind the Acquisition and resolve the dispute arising from the Acquisition.

Subsequent to the completion of the Acquisition and in around June 2019, it came to the attention of the Board that GE International failed to provide sufficient accounting records and incidental documents, which resulted in Starways Global and Mr. Wang in potential breaches of certain warranties and undertakings in the Sale and Purchase Agreement. As a result, the Auditor issued a disclaimer of opinion in the 2019 Annual Report in relation to the acquisition of the GE Group for the year ended 31 March 2019, which illustrated that the operation of the GE Group is not up to expectations with inconsistencies in the documents and information provided by the GE Group. Although the Company has requested Starways Global and Mr. Wang to remedy

- 33 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

the said potential breaches and has reserved the right to take legal action against Starways Global and Mr. Wang, Starways Global and Mr. Wang have not remedied the said potential breaches as at the Latest Practicable Date.

In order to safeguard the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole, the Board considered that the best way was to unwind the Acquisition by the return of all the 50,842,000 Acquisition Consideration Shares issued to Starways Global. However, since Starways Global has sold 10,126,000 Acquisition Consideration Shares on market between January and June 2019 upon completion of the Acquisition, the alternate way to unwind the Acquisition was by the return of 40,716,000 Acquisition Consideration Shares currently held by Starways Global plus the Settlement Cash in the amount of HK$18,803,982 (being 10,126,000 Acquisition Consideration Shares at the issue price of HK$1.857).

As such, on 17 September 2019 (after trading hours), the Company, Starways Global, Mr. Wang and GE International entered into the Settlement Agreement.

The Directors consider the Unwinding is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole, and that it is not necessary to take any measures against Starways Global and Mr. Wang for the loss arising from the Unwinding, given that (i) the time to be spent by the management of the Group and cost implications in the event of litigation among the Company, Starways Global and Mr. Wang may have a negative impact on the operations and financial performance of the Group; (ii) the doubtful prospect of the GE Group may have adverse impact on the Group's business;

  1. the cessation of the GE Group to be subsidiaries of the Company upon Completion will improve the financial position of the Group; (iv) the Implied Settlement Consideration is the same as the consideration under the Acquisition; (v) the proceeds of the Unwinding will improve the liquidity of the Group and allow reallocation of financial resources to existing business operations of the Group; (vi) the professional fee only amounts to approximately 1% of the original consideration of the Acquisition; and (vii) the expected loss of approximately HK$69.4 million (before tax) upon Completion was only an accounting loss with no actual payout.

In this respect, we have reviewed the aforementioned disclaimer of opinion issued by the Auditor and noted that because of the inconsistencies between third parties documents and information provided by the Group and those obtained by the Auditor directly for revenue transactions generated by the GE Group, the Auditor were unable to obtain reasonable assurance on the occurrence and existence, accuracy, valuations, rights and obligations, completeness, classification, disclosure and presentation of the transactions and the assets and liabilities related to the GE Group for the year ended 31 March 2019. In their disclaimer of opinion, the Auditor also noted that any adjustments that might have been found to be necessary in respect of the above of the Group would have a significant effect on the Group's consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2019 and consequently, the Group's consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended, and the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

- 34 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Given that (i) the GE Group Financial Information may not be true and accurate and the disclaimer of opinion from the Auditor could have a significant negative effect on the Group's financial performance; and (ii) that Starways Global and Mr. Wang have not remedied the said potential breaches as at the Latest Practicable Date, we concur with the Company that it is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to unwind the Acquisition.

Furthermore, upon Completion, the Settlement Shares shall be cancelled and Settlement Cash of HK$18,803,982 shall be paid by Starways Global to the Company. The Company intends to apply the Settlement Cash as general working capital and for funding future business development opportunities of the Group, which we consider as fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Meanwhile, as the Implied Settlement Consideration of approximately HK$94.4 million is equivalent to the consideration for the Acquisition under the Sale and Purchase Agreement, save and except for the legal and professional fee incurred in the Unwinding which only amounts to approximately 1% of the original consideration of the Acquisition1, the Company would in effect recover the full amount of the consideration for the Acquisition without incurring further cost and uncertainty which may arise from liabilities and/or lengthy legal actions in connection with the Sale and Purchase Agreement, given that no capital or debt investments had been made into GE Group by the Company subsequent to the completion of the Acquisition. In addition, although the disposal of GE Group would lead to an expected loss of approximately HK$69.4 million (before tax) upon Completion, which is mainly caused by the difference between the net asset value (before impairment) of the GE Group of approximately HK$127.6 million as at 30 September 2019, and the value of the consideration, which includes Settlement Cash of approximately HK$18.8 million plus the fair value of the 40,716,000 Settlement Shares of approximately HK$44.4 million calculated by the quoted market closing price of the Shares of HK$1.09 on the Latest Practicable Date2, such expected loss is only an accounting loss with no actual payout. Given the above and the fact that the terms of the Settlement Agreement were arrived at after arm's length negotiations among the Company, Starways Global and Mr. Wang, we are of the view that the entering into of the Settlement Agreement is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

  1. Total professional fee of HK$1,361,376 was incurred to the Company in connection with the Acquisition, which includes professional fees paid to financial adviser, Hong Kong legal adviser, PRC legal adviser, auditors and valuer.
  2. As stated in the Board Letter, the Board considers that the Share price, as at the closing price on the Latest Practicable Date of HK$1.09 per Share represent the best estimate of the fair value of each Settlement Share for the determination of the fair value of the GE Group and the recognition of the impairment loss. In particular, the closing price per Share dropped from HK$2.30 as at 29 January 2019 to HK$1.09 as at the Latest Practicable Date had resulted in the decrease of the fair value of the Acquisition Consideration Shares by approximately HK$61.5 million.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

3. Principal terms of the Settlement Agreement

  1. Settlement Terms and Conditions precedent

On 17 September 2019 (after trading hours), the Company, Starways Global, Mr. Wang and GE International entered into the Settlement Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) the Sale and Purchase Agreement shall be rescinded and void from its inception and each of the Parties shall be discharged from all liability and/or further liability, demands, claims and proceedings arising out of or in connection with the Sale and Purchase Agreement; (ii) all the Settlement Shares shall be transferred by Starways Global to the Company for cancellation; (iii) Starways Global shall pay the Company the Settlement Cash in the amount of HK$18,803,982; and (iv) the Company shall transfer its entire legal and beneficial interest in the Sale Shares to Starways Global.

The principal terms of the Settlement Agreement are set out in the Board Letter and Completion will be conditional upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

  1. the passing by the Independent Shareholders at the SGM of the necessary resolutions, including by at least 75% of the votes cast by all the Independent Shareholders on the special resolution to approve the Settlement Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including but not limited to the Unwinding and the Share Buy-backs) by way of poll in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, the Share Buy-backs Code and other applicable laws and regulations;
  2. the approval by the Executive for the Settlement Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder (in particular, the Share Buy-backs) having been granted pursuant to Rule 2 of the Share Buy-backs Code and remaining in full force and effect and any condition(s) to which such approval is/are subject to having been satisfied in all respects;
  3. the Company having sufficient reserves in the form of capital and/or share premium in its accounts to effect the Share Buy-backs;
  4. the warranties, representations, undertakings and obligations of Starways Global pursuant to the Settlement Agreement remaining true and accurate and not misleading in any respect as if repeated at Completion and at all times between the date of the Settlement Agreement and the date of Completion; and
  5. all other necessary consents, authorisations, licences and approvals for or in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Settlement Agreement (including, without limitation, the Unwinding and the Share Buy-backs) having been obtained.

- 36 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Save for condition (iv) which may be waived by the Company in its absolute discretion, the remaining conditions (i), (ii), (iii) and (v) above are incapable of being waived by any Parties. As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the conditions have been fulfilled.

  1. Implied Settlement Consideration and Buy-back Price

As set out in the Board Letter, under the Settlement Agreement, Starways Global shall:

  1. transfer the Settlement Shares to the Company for cancellation; and
  2. pay the Settlement Cash in an amount of HK$18,803,982 in cash (being 10,126,000 Acquisition Consideration Shares at the issue price of HK$1.857) to make good the shortfall of the consideration of the Acquisition due to the disposal of 10,126,000 Acquisition Consideration Shares.

As the Settlement Agreement aims to unwind the Acquisition, the implied Buy-back Price for transfer of the Settlement Shares is HK$1.857 per Settlement Share, which is equivalent to the Issue Price per Acquisition Consideration Share under the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

The Implied Settlement Consideration is HK$94,400,000, which is equivalent to the consideration for the Acquisition under the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

The implied Buy-back Price of HK$1.857 represents:

  1. a premium of approximately 13.93% over the closing price of HK$1.63 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
  2. a premium of approximately 12.55% over the average of the closing prices of approximately HK$1.65 per Share for the last five trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  3. a premium of approximately 7.97% over the average of the closing prices of approximately HK$1.72 per Share for the last ten trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  4. a premium of approximately 3.74% over the average of the closing prices of approximately HK$1.79 per Share for the last thirty trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  5. a premium of approximately 70.4% over the closing price of HK$1.09 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date; and

- 37 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  1. a premium of approximately 120.8% over the audited net asset value per Share attributable to Shareholder as at 31 March 2019 of approximately HK$0.841 per Share and 241.4% over the unaudited net asset value per Share attributable to Shareholders as at 30 September 2019 of approximately HK$0.544 per Share.

4. Evaluation of the Buy-backs Price

In considering the fairness and reasonableness of Buy-backs Price, we have

conducted the following analyses:

  1. Historical share price performance

We have reviewed the daily closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the period from 1 December 2018 up to and including the Latest Practicable Date (the "Review Period"). We consider that the sampling period of approximately twelve months is adequate as it represents a reasonable period to provide a general overview of the recent price performance of the Shares when conducting an analysis among the historical closing prices of the Shares and the Buy-back Price. The following chart sets out the daily closing prices of the Shares on the Stock Exchange during the Review Period:

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As illustrated in the chart above, the Share price closed at a lowest of HK$1.05 on 5 December 2019 and a highest of HK$2.5 on 16 January 2019, and at an average of HK$1.926.

The Buy-back Price of HK$1.857 per Share is therefore within the range of the highest and lowest prices of the Shares during the Review Period, and represents a slight discount of approximately 3.6% to the average closing price, a premium of approximately 76.9% over the lowest closing price and a discount of approximately 25.7% to the highest closing price of the Shares during the Review Period.

  1. Market comparable

In evaluating the Buy-back Price, we have made reference to the announcements of listed issuers on the Stock Exchange which have proposed off-market share buy-back transactions of domestic shares (the "Comparable Transactions") during the Review Period. We considered the twelve-month Review Period a sufficient period of time to reflect the recent market practice in respect of such transactions, and on a best-effort basis, we have identified an exhaustive list of three Comparable Transactions, details of which are summarised in the table below.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As set out in the table above, during the Review Period, except for the Comparable Transaction of New Silkroad, which like the Company's current Share Buy-back was linked to a previous acquisition transaction, the other two Comparable Transactions were stand-alone transactions for the purpose of restoring the public float and enhancing the financial performance of the Company and which we consider the analysis of such may not provide a meaningful reflection of fairness and reasonableness of the Buy-back Price. On the other hand, in respect of the New Silkroad's transaction, we noted that the proposed off-market share buy-back was a result of New Silkroad exercising its unilateral right under the previous sale and purchase agreements to require the vendor to recover the consideration amount in cash in full or in part as the target company failed to meet certain operational standards, which is similar to the case of the Company, except that the Company and the vendor, Starways Global, bilaterally entered into the current Settlement Agreement to rescind and void the Sale and Purchase Agreement. We also noted that under the New Silkroad's transaction, the buy-back price of the consideration shares to be returned and cancelled was equivalent to the issue price per consideration share under the previous sale and purchase agreements, which is consistent with the case of the Company, where the Buy-back Price for the Settlement Shares is equivalent to the Issue Price per Acquisition Consideration Share under the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

  1. The Share Buy-backs

Having considered that (i) the Buy-back Price is within the range of the highest and lowest prices of the Shares during the Review Period; (ii) the Buy-back Price is equivalent to the Issue Price per Acquisition Consideration Share under the Sale and Purchase Agreement; and (iii) the Buy-back Price represents a premium over the closing price of the Shares (a) on the Last Trading Day; (b) for the last five, ten and thirty trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day; and (c) on the Latest Practicable Date; (iv) the Buy-back Price, being equivalent to the Issue Price per Acquisition Consideration Share under the Sale and Purchase Agreement, is consistent with the market practice; and (v) the reasons as set out in the above section headed "Background of, reasons for and benefits of entering into the Settlement Agreement" in this letter, we consider that the Buy-back Price is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

Assuming there are no changes to the shareholdings of the public shareholders and the total number of issued Shares of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of Completion, upon Completion and cancellation of the Settlement Shares, the shareholding interest of the public Shareholders will increase from approximately 28.3% to approximately 32.7% while the aggregate shareholding interest of Alpha Professional will increase from approximately 58.3% to approximately 67.3%. As such, the Completion, which will involve the cancellation of the Settlement Shares, would result in an increase in public float of the Company in terms of percentage shareholding interests in the public's hands.

6. Potential financial effects of the entering into of the Settlement Agreement

Upon Completion, the GE Group will cease to be subsidiaries of the Company and the accounts of the GE Group would be excluded from those of the Group.

As set out in the Board Letter, it is expected that the entering into of the Settlement Agreement will have the below financial effects on the Group's earnings, working capital, assets and liabilities and net asset value upon Completion.

- 41 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  1. Earnings

Subject to the review by the Auditor, based on the 2019 Interim Results Announcement, the Group currently expects to record a loss arising from the Unwinding of approximately HK$69.4 million (before tax) upon Completion, the determination of which was set out in the above section headed "Background of, reasons for and benefits of entering into the Settlement Agreement". Accordingly, the Group's loss per Share for the six months ended 30 September 2019 would increase from approximately HK$8.5 cents to approximately HK$29.65 cents.

It should be noted that the expected loss is only an estimate which assumes Completion had taken place on the Latest Practicable Date. The actual loss on the Unwinding will depend on the fair value of the Settlement Shares and the net assets value of the GE Group as at the date of Completion.

  1. Working capital

While there will be no cash outflow required by the Company for the Share Buy-backs, there will be a cash inflow of HK$18,803,982, being the proceeds from the Settlement Cash, to the Company. Such amount will be recognised as the Group's cash and cash equivalents immediately upon Completion, and as a result, improve the working capital position of the Group.

  1. Assets and liabilities

As at 30 September 2019, the assets and liabilities of the Group amounted to approximately HK$261.3 million and HK$95.3 million respectively. Upon Completion and exclusion of the liabilities of the GE Group, the assets of the Remaining Group will decrease by approximately 46.7% to approximately HK$139.4 million while the liabilities of the Remaining Group will decrease by approximately 78.8% to approximately HK$20.2 million.

  1. Net asset value

As at 30 September 2019, the net assets of the Group amounted to approximately HK$166.0 million. On the assumption that Completion occurred on 30 September 2019, the net asset value of the Remaining Group attributable to the owners of the Company would decrease from approximately HK$166.0 million to approximately HK$119.2 million. As a result, the Group's net assets attributable to owners of the Company per Share as at 30 September 2019 would decrease from approximately HK54.4 cents to approximately HK39.1 cents.

In view of the above potential financial effects, despite the entering into of the Unwinding and Share Buy-backs would have a negative effect on the earnings and the net assets of the Group, considering (i) the Share Buy-backs will not incur any cash outflow and hence there will be no adverse effect on the operating cash flows but a positive effect on the working capital position of the Remaining Group; (ii) the liabilities of the Remaining Group will decrease compared to such

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

of the Group as at 31 March 2019; (iii) the Remaining Group will still have sufficient assets to meet its liabilities; and (iv) the reasons for the entering into of the Settlement Agreement as set out in the above section headed "Background of, reason for and benefits of entering into the Settlement Agreement" in this letter, we consider that the overall financial effect on the Group as a result of the Unwinding and the Share Buy-back is justifiable.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the principal factors and reasons referred to above, we are of the opinion that the terms of the Settlement Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including but not limited to the Unwinding and the Share Buy-backs), although not conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the special resolution to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Settlement Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including but not limited to the Unwinding and the Share Buy-backs).

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

  1. DISCLAIMER OF OPINION
    For the year ended 31 March 2019

The audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2019 was disclaimed because of the following basis:

Comparative information

The audit opinion on the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018 was disclaimed, given the loss of some books and records and serious doubts over the reliability of the Group's accounting and other records before the restructuring of the Group, the directors of the Company believed that, it was almost impossible, and not practicable, to ascertain the correct revenue and profit or loss and the resultant assets and liabilities for the past years as included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. Also, due to the loss of some books and records before the restructuring of the Group, the directors of the Company believed that it was almost impossible, and not practicable, to verify the financial information as reported in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the past years.

Consequently, given these circumstances, the Auditor was unable to satisfy itself that the internal controls and documentations provided by the management for the purpose of the audit were effective and accurate in all material respects. The Auditor was therefore unable to carry out satisfactory audit procedures to obtain reasonable assurance regarding the completeness, accuracy, existence, valuation, classification, disclosure and presentation of the transactions and the assets and liabilities of the Group and the Company as at 1 April 2017 and for the year ended 31 March 2018.

Upon completion of the scheme of arrangement during the year ended 31 March 2018, the Company recognised a loss on assets transferred and debts discharged under the scheme of arrangement and relevant expenses of approximately HK$198,661,000 for the year ended 31 March 2018. Due to the loss of some books and records before the restructuring of the Group, the Auditor was unable to satisfy itself that the amount of assets transferred and debts discharged under the scheme of arrangement and relevant expenses were complete and accurate. As a result, the Auditor was unable to carry out satisfactory audit procedures to obtain reasonable assurance regarding the completeness, accuracy and valuation in respect of the loss on assets transferred and debts discharged under the scheme of arrangement and relevant expenses during the year ended 31 March 2018.

Any adjustments found to be necessary in respect thereof had the Auditor been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence would have had a consequential effect on the net assets of the Group and the Company as at 1 April 2017 and of the Group's loss and cash flows for the year ended 31 March 2018, and the related disclosures thereof in the consolidated financial statements.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Non-compliance with IFRSs and omission of disclosures

Given the consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared by the Directors based on incomplete books and records and the directors of the Company believe that it is almost impossible and not practical to ascertain the correct amounts, the Directors were unable to represent that the consolidated financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs"), or that the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Listing Rules have been complied with. Given these circumstances, there were no practicable audit procedures that the Auditor could perform to quantify the extent of adjustments and disclosures that might be necessary in respect of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2018.

Acquisition of GE Group

During the course of its audit, the Auditor noticed certain inconsistencies between third parties documents and information provided by the Group and those the Auditor has obtained directly for revenue transactions under the biological business segment carried out by GE Group. The Auditor was unable to perform practicable audit procedures to verify the inconsistencies in the documents and information available to it, and to carry out satisfactory audit procedures to obtain reasonable assurance regarding the occurrence, completeness and accuracy of the revenue of the biological business segment, and the corresponding trade receivables balances of HK$14,751,000 as at 31 March 2019. Furthermore, the intangible assets and goodwill arising from the acquisition of GE Group, amounted to HK$110,943,000 and HK$48,430,000, respectively, had been allocated to the cash generating units in biological business segment. The fair values has been estimated using the cash flows projections from the biological business segment. Due to the inconsistencies in documents and information available to the Auditor mentioned above and limitation in the scope of work, the Auditor was unable to assess whether the fair values as at the acquisition date and the recoverable amount of these assets as at 31 March 2019 are reliably measured. There are no alternative audit procedures that the Auditor could perform to satisfy itself as to whether the carrying amounts of the intangible assets and goodwill, the associated amortisation expenses attributed to the intangible assets and tax relating to the biological business segment were free from material misstatement.

In addition, because of the inconsistencies in the documents and information described above, there were no alternative audit procedures the Auditor could perform to satisfy itself as to the occurrence and existence, accuracy, valuations, rights and obligations, completeness, classification, disclosure and presentation of the transactions and the assets and liabilities related to the biological business segment. Accordingly, the Auditor was not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine whether any adjustments to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2019 were necessary.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

For the year ended 31 March 2018

Scope limitation due to incomplete books and records

Reference is made to the audit opinion of the Auditor dated 31 May 2017 whereby the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017 was disclaimed given the loss of some books and records and serious doubts over the reliability of the Group's accounting and other records before the restructuring of the Group, the directors of the Company believed that, it was almost impossible, and not practicable, to ascertain the correct revenue and profit or loss and the resultant assets and liabilities for the past years as included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. Also, due to the loss of some books and records before the restructuring of the Group, the directors of the Company believed that it was almost impossible, and not practicable, to verify the financial information as reported in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the past years. Consequently, the Auditor was unable to satisfy itself that the internal controls and documentations provided by the management for the purpose of the audit were effective and accurate in all material respects. The Auditor was therefore unable to carry out satisfactory audit procedures to obtain reasonable assurance regarding the completeness, accuracy, existence, valuation, classification, disclosure and presentation of the transactions and the assets and liabilities of the Group and the Company as at 31 March 2017 and for the years ended 31 March 2017 and 2018.

Upon completion of the scheme of arrangement during the year ended 31 March 2018, the Company recognised a loss on assets transferred and debts discharged under the scheme of arrangement and relevant expenses of approximately HK$198,661,000 for the year ended 31 March 2018. Due to the loss of some books and records before the restructuring of the Group, the Auditor was unable to satisfy itself that the amount of assets transferred and debts discharged under the scheme of arrangement and relevant expenses were complete and accurate. As a result, the Auditor was unable to carry out satisfactory audit procedures to obtain reasonable assurance regarding the completeness, accuracy and valuation in respect of the loss on assets transferred and debts discharged under the scheme of arrangement and relevant expenses during the year.

Any adjustments found to be necessary in respect thereof had the Auditor been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence would have had a consequential effect on the net assets of the Group and the Company as at 1 April 2016, 31 March 2017 and 1 April 2017 and of the Group's loss and cash flows for the years ended 31 March 2017 and 2018, and the related disclosures thereof in the consolidated financial statements.

Non-compliance with IFRSs and omission of disclosures

Given the consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared by the directors of the Company based on incomplete books and records and the directors of the Company believe that it is almost impossible and not practical to ascertain the correct amounts, the directors of the Company were unable to represent that the

- I-5 -

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

consolidated financial statements comply with IFRSs, or that the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Listing Rules have been complied with. Given these circumstances, there were no practicable audit procedures that the Auditor could perform to quantify the extent of adjustments and disclosures that might be necessary in respect of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the years ended 31 March 2017 and 2018.

For the year ended 31 March 2017

Scope limitation due to incomplete books and record

The audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2017 was disclaimed because of scope limitation due to incomplete books and record. Given the loss of some books and records and serious doubts over the reliability of the Group's accounting and other records, the directors of the Company believed that, it was almost impossible, and not practicable, to ascertain the correct revenue and profit or loss and the resultant assets and liabilities for the current year as included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. Also, due to the loss of some books and records, the directors of the Company believed that it was almost impossible, and not practicable, to verify the financial information as reported in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for past years. During the course of its audit, the Auditor was unable to satisfy itself that the internal controls and documentations provided by the management for the purpose of the audit were effective and accurate in all material respects. The Auditor was therefore unable to carry out satisfactory audit procedures to obtain reasonable assurance regarding the completeness, accuracy, existence, valuation, classification and presentation of the transactions and assets and liabilities of the Group.

Given these circumstances, there were no practicable audit procedures that the Auditor could perform to satisfy itself that the information and explanations and documents presented to the Auditor for the purpose of the audit are complete and accurate in all material respects, nor to quantify the extent of any adjustments that might be necessary in respect of the Group's financial information.

As a result, in performing the audit on the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2017, there were no practicable audit procedures that the Auditor could perform to satisfy itself as to whether the balances of assets, liabilities and reserves as at 1 April 2016 and 31 March 2017 were fairly stated.

Any adjustments found to be necessary in respect thereof had the Auditor been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence would have had a consequential effect on the net assets of the Group as at 1 April 2016 and 31 March 2017 and of its profit for the current and prior years, and the related disclosures thereof in the consolidated financial statements.

Included in the Company's statement of financial position is an investment in a subsidiary of US$2,622,935 and US$2,622,935 and amounts due from subsidiaries of US$69,471,270 and US$69,471,270 as at 31 March 2017 and 31 March 2016 respectively. Due to the scope limitations as mentioned above, the Auditor was unable to satisfy itself as to the fairness of the amounts carried as investment in a subsidiary and the amounts due from subsidiaries in the Company's financial statements as at 31 March 2017 or to determine whether any provision for impairment loss is necessary in

- I-6 -

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

respect of the above. Any adjustments would have a consequential effect on the net assets of the Company as at 31 March 2017 and 31 March 2016 and of its net loss for the years then ended and the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

Non-compliance with IFRSs and omission of disclosures

As the consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared by the directors based on incomplete books and records and the directors believe that it is almost impossible and not practical to ascertain the correct amounts, the directors of the Company were unable to represent that the financial statements comply with IFRSs, or that the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Listing Rules have been complied with. Given these circumstances, there were no practicable audit procedures that the Auditor could perform to quantify the extent of adjustments that might be necessary in respect of the Group's financial statements.

Material uncertainty related to going concern basis

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis on the assumption that the proposed restructuring of the Company will be successfully completed, and that, following the restructuring, the Group will be able to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due in the foreseeable future. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from a failure to complete the restructuring. In view of the extent of the uncertainties relating to the completion of the restructuring, the Auditor disclaimed its opinion in respect of the material uncertainty relating to the going concern basis.

IV. WORKING CAPITAL

After taking into account the financial resources available to the Remaining Group, including its cash and cash equivalents on hand, the internally generated funds and the net proceeds received from the Unwinding, the Directors, after due and careful enquiry, are of the opinion that the working capital available to the Remaining Group is sufficient for its requirements for at least 12 months from the Latest Practicable Date, in the absence of unforeseeable circumstances.

  1. INDEBTEDNESS

As at 31 October 2019, being the latest practicable date for the purpose of this statement of indebtedness prior to the printing of this circular, the Group had outstanding indebtedness and contingent liabilities as follows:-

  1. unsecured and unguaranteed lease liability of approximately HK$2.4 million for right-of-use property;
  2. short-termloan of HK$10 million which is repayable on 2 April 2020, bearing interest at 26.9% per annum for the first interest period and at 8% per annum for the second interest period up to maturity date. The loan is incorporating first fixed and floating charge over the undertaking, property and/or assets of the Company whatever and wheresoever, both present and future, including its uncalled capital for the time being; and

- I-7 -

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

  1. contingent liabilities of approximately HK$45.7 million (equivalent to approximately RMB41.1 million) in relation to an enforcement judgment(2018) 032033號之二) dated 28 April 2019 issued by the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court of Guangdong Province of the People's Republic of China, and the interest accrued thereon, enforcement costs etc.

In relation to indebtedness, if any, of GE Group as at 31 October 2019, since GE Group failed to provide sufficient accounting records, inter alia, management accounts of GE Group as at 31 October 2019, to the Company, the Directors believe that it is almost impossible, and not practicable, to ascertain the correct financial information for the statement of indebtedness of GE Group.

Given these circumstances, this statement of indebtedness has been prepared by the Directors based on books and records of the Group but excluding GE Group.

Save as aforesaid, and apart from intra-group liabilities, and normal accounts payable, the Group did not have any loan capital issued or agreed to be issued, bank overdrafts, loans, debt securities issued and outstanding, any authorised or otherwise created but unissued term loans or other borrowings, indebtedness in nature of borrowings, liabilities under acceptances (other than trade bills) or acceptance credits, debentures, mortgages, charges, lease liabilities or hire purchase commitments, which are either guaranteed, unguaranteed, secured, or unsecured, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities outstanding at the close of business on 31 October 2019.

The Directors confirm that there is no material change in the indebtedness and contingent liability of the Group from the close of business on 31 October 2019 to the Latest Practicable Date.

VI. MATERIAL CHANGE

Save as disclosed below, the Directors confirm that there had been no material change in the financial or trading position or outlook of the Group since 31 March 2019, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated accounts of the Group were made up, and up to and including the Latest Practicable Date.

As disclosed in the interim results announcement of the Group for the six months ended 30 September 2019, the Company had recorded a loss for the six months ended 30 September 2019 as compared to a profit for the corresponding period of 2018, which was mainly due to:

  1. an impairment loss associated with the disposal of the GE Group of approximately HK$66.2 million, which is calculated by the net asset value of the GE Group less the value of consideration, which includes Settlement Cash of approximately HK$18.8 million plus the fair value of the 40,716,000 Settlement Shares of approximately HK$46.8 million calculated by the quoted market closing price of the Shares of HK$1.15 per Share on 27 November 2019. The impairment loss mainly comprises impairment of goodwill of approximately HK$48.4 million and intangible assets of approximately HK$16.7 million respectively;

- I-8 -

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

  1. the decrease in sales orders from existing customers as they were unable to attend trade shows in Hong Kong due to the recent social unrest; and
  2. the decrease in the selling prices of existing 3G/4G products, as a result of the measures taken by the management of the Group to boost sales and prepare for the upgrade to 5G technology of the Group's products.

VII. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

Prior to Completion, the principal activities of the Group are the sale and distribution of mobile handsets and their components and the provision of biotechnology and biological gene technology technical services.

Since the voluntary delisting from the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited on 28 November 2017 and the resumption of trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange on 30 November 2017, the Group's business has maintained continuous growth. To better reflect the Group's determination for pursuing future business plans and development, the Company changed its name and logo as well as its stock short name in early October 2018.

The Group is principally engaged as a mobile handset solution provider, involving design, procurement of hardware components and assembly services for mobile handsets, which are mainly carried out by the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. Mobile handsets distributed and marketed by the Group mainly include 2G feature phones and 3G/ 4G smartphones. Following the introduction of 5G, cost of research and development will be enormously increased as well as that of sales and marketing, hence, there will be growing tension to upkeep the gross profit ratio and earning ability. In addition, due to the improper operations of some of the enterprises in the communication industry, potential problems might emerge affecting the supply chain system as a whole. Therefore, the Group will act cautiously and largely focus on risk management and internal control in order to maintain the existing competitive edge.

For the biological business segment, upon Completion, GE Group will cease to be subsidiaries of the Group. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, each of the Parties shall be discharged from all liability and/or further liability, demands, claims and proceedings arising out of or in connection with the Sale and Purchase Agreement, and none of the Parties shall commence any proceedings in respect of the Sale and Purchase Agreement against any of the other Parties (including any potential legal action that the Company may take against Starways Global and Mr. Wang in relation to the potential breaches of certain warranties and undertakings in the Sale and Purchase Agreement). As such, the potential litigation among the Company, Starways Global and Mr. Wang as disclosed under the section headed "Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Settlement Agreement" will not materialise and cause any potential negative impact on the operations and financial performance of the Group.

Following Completion, the Group will continue searching for business opportunities in the domestic as well as overseas markets to diversify its business and take a long-term perspective in formulating strategy by deploying capital and people where it sees opportunities to generate returns which exceed its cost of capital, and focusing on those where its capital and people can generate long-term value.
