INFORMATION ON THE TARGET COMPANY

The Target Company is a limited company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The principal business activity of the Target Company is properties investment. As at the date of this announcement, the Target Company held and leased out one investment property and one car parking space located in Hong Kong for generating rental income purpose.

Based on the audited financial information for the year ended 31 March 2019 and the unaudited financial result for the year ended 31 March 2020 both prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Hong Kong, the profit before and after taxation of the Target Company for the years ended 31 March 2019 and 31 March 2020 are set out below:

The unaudited net asset value of the Target Company as at 31 March 2020 was approximately HK$38,859,108.

− 4 −

The major assets of the Target Company, being its investment properties, had been valued by an independent valuer in the sum of HK$39,700,000 as at 31 March 2020. The Directors believe that the valuation remains fair and reasonable by reference to the prevailing market price of comparable properties in the vicinity.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL

Upon Completion of the Disposal, the Company will cease to hold any share in the Target Company.

Based on the unaudited net asset value of the Target Company as at 31 March 2020, the Group is expected to record a gain of approximately HK$100,892 as a result of the Disposal.

The actual amount of the gain or loss on the Disposal to be recognised in the consolidated financial statements of the Company depends on the net asset value of the Target Group as at Completion Date and therefore may be different from the amount mentioned above.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The proceeds from the Disposal of approximately HK$38,960,000 will, after deducting all relevant expenses, be used by the Group for general working capital purpose.

INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY AND THE PURCHASER

The Group is principally engaged in the sourcing, subcontracting, marketing and selling of garments and sportswear products and property investment and provision of marketing services.

The Purchaser is a natural person and an Independent Third Party.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The purpose of the Disposal is for better allocation of the Group's resources. The Directors consider that the Disposal would enable the Group to free up capital for its operations and any potential new business opportunities that can give a better return so as to enhance the shareholder value.

The Directors believe that the Disposal is in the best interest of the Company and the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are normal commercial terms, which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole.
