REMAINING PROCEEDS

The Group has been gradually implementing its business strategy of expanding its retail sales networks and e-commence business in the PRC and the net proceeds of the Share Offer allocated for such purpose has been applied in line with such implementation. It is expected that the remaining HK$7 million of the proceeds allocated for this purpose will be fully utilized by the year ending 31 December 2020.

Since completion of the Share Offer in January 2015, the Company has been on the lookout for acquiring suitable premises for expansion of office space as described in the Prospectus. However, prices of office premises in Hong Kong has been in a continuous upward trend since then and prices for premises of suitable size and location on the market has exceeded the budget allocated for such purpose. The Group will continue identifying suitable premises for expansion with a view to implement the acquisition and utilise part or whole of the proceeds allocated for this purpose by the year ending 31 December 2021.

The information contained in this supplemental announcement does not affect other information contained in the Annual Report and save as disclosed above, all other information in the Annual Report remains unchanged.

Save as disclosed above, there is no material delay or change in the use of proceeds from the Share Offer. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company in relation to the use of the remaining proceeds as and when appropriate.
