Save for the aforesaid, the Company does not have any options outstanding under any share option scheme of the Company or any other derivatives, options, warrants and conversion rights or other similar rights which are convertible or exchangeable into Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The nil-paid Rights Shares proposed to be provisionally allotted pursuant to the terms of the Rights Issue represents 200.00% of the Company's issued share capital as at the Latest Practicable Date and approximately 66.67% of the Company's issued share capital as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Rights Shares immediately after completion of the Rights Issue assuming no further issue of new Share(s) other than the Rights Shares and no repurchase of Share(s) on or before completion of the Rights Issue.

Qualifying Shareholders

The Rights Issue is only available to the Qualifying Shareholders. To qualify for the Rights Issue, a Shareholder must be registered as a member of the Company as at the close of business on the Record Date and not be an Excluded Shareholder.

In order to be registered as members of the Company at the close of business on the Record Date, any relevant transfer documents (together with the relevant share certificates) must be lodged with the Registrar at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong for registration no later than 4 : 30 p.m. on Thursday, 5 March 2020.

Shareholders with their Shares held by a nominee (or held in CCASS) should note that the Board will consider the nominee (including HKSCC Nominees Limited) as one single Shareholder according to the register of members of the Company. Accordingly, such Shareholders should note that the aforesaid arrangement in relation to the allocation of the excess Rights Shares will not be extended to the relevant beneficial owners individually.

Shareholders with their Shares held by a nominee (or held in CCASS) are advised to consider whether they would like to arrange for the registration of the relevant Shares in their own names prior to the Record Date. For investors whose Shares are held by a nominee (or held in CCASS) and would like to have their names registered on the register of members of the Company, they must lodge all necessary documents with the Registrar at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong for registration no later than 4 : 30 p.m. on Thursday, 5 March 2020.

Qualifying Shareholders who take up their pro rata entitlements in full under the Rights Issue will not suffer any dilution to their interests in the Company. If a Qualifying Shareholder does not take up any of his/her/its entitlement in full under the Rights Issue, his/her/its proportionate shareholding in the Company will be diluted.

Basis of provisional allotments

The basis of the provisional allotment shall be two (2) Rights Shares (in nil-paid form) for every one (1) Share held by the Qualifying Shareholders as at the close of business on the Record Date.

- 14 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Application for all or any part of a Qualifying Shareholder's provisional allotment should be made by lodging a duly completed PAL and a cheque or a banker's cashier order for the sum payable for the Rights Shares being applied for with the Registrar on or before the Latest Time for Acceptance.

Rights of Overseas Shareholder(s)

The Prospectus Documents are not intended to be registered under the applicable securities legislation of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong. The Company will comply with Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing Rules and make enquiries regarding the feasibility of extending the offer of the Rights Shares to Overseas Shareholders, if any. If, based on the legal opinions to be provided by the legal advisers to the Company, the Directors consider that it is necessary or expedient not to offer the Rights Shares to the Overseas Shareholders on account either of the legal restrictions under the laws of the place(s) of their registered address(es) or the requirements of the relevant regulatory body(ies) or stock exchange(s) in such place(s), the Rights Issue will not be extended to such Overseas Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there was no Overseas Shareholder.

The Company will send the Prospectus to the Excluded Shareholders (if any) for their information only, but will not send any PAL and EAF to them. Receipt of a copy of the Prospectus does not and will not constitute an offer to the Excluded Shareholder(s).

Arrangements will be made for the Rights Shares, which would otherwise have been provisionally allotted to the Excluded Shareholders, to be sold in the market in their nil-paid form during the period from Tuesday, 17 March 2020 to Tuesday, 24 March 2020 if a premium (net of expenses) can be obtained. The proceeds from such sale, less expenses, of more than HK$100 will be paid on pro-rata basis to the relevant Excluded Shareholders. In view of administrative costs, the Company will retain individual amounts of HK$100 or less for its own benefit. Any unsold entitlement of Excluded Shareholders to the Rights Shares and any Rights Shares provisionally allotted but not accepted by the Qualifying Shareholder(s) will be made available for excess applications by Qualifying Shareholders under the EAF(s).

Subscription Price

The Subscription Price for the Rights Shares is HK$0.270 per Rights Share, payable in full upon acceptance of the relevant provisional allotment of Rights Shares and, where applicable, application for excess Rights Shares under the Rights Issue or when a renouncee of any provisional allotment of the Rights Shares or a transferee of nil-paid Rights Shares applies for the Rights Shares.

The Subscription Price represents:

  1. a premium of approximately 3.85% over the closing price of HK$0.260 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date;

- 15 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. a discount of approximately 22.86% to the closing price of HK$0.350 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
  2. a discount of approximately 9.09% to the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK$0.297 per Share based on the closing price of HK$0.350 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
  3. a discount of approximately 21.28% to the average of the closing prices of approximately HK$0.343 per Share based on the closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  4. a discount of approximately 21.97% to the average of the closing prices of approximately HK$0.346 per Share based on the closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 10 consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  5. a discount of approximately 96.91% to the unaudited net asset value per Share of approximately HK$8.724 (based on the latest published consolidated net asset value of the Group of approximately HK$6,777,624,000 as at 30 September 2019 as disclosed in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2019 and 776,911,981 Shares in issue as at the Last Trading Day);
  6. a theoretical dilution effect (as defined under Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules) of a discount of approximately 15.14% represented by the theoretical diluted price of HK$0.297 per Share to the benchmarked price of approximately HK$0.350 per Share (as defined under Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules, taking into account the closing price on the Last Trading Day of approximately HK0.350 per Share and the average of the closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five previous consecutive trading days prior to the Last Trading Day of approximately HK$0.340 per Share); and
  7. a cumulative theoretical dilution effect (as defined under Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules) of the Rights Issue and the April Rights Issue of approximately 16.88%.

The Subscription Price was set at a discount to the recent closing prices of the Shares prior to the Last Trading Day aiming at lowering the further investment cost of the Shareholders so as to encourage them to take up their entitlements to maintain their shareholdings in the Company, thereby minimising dilution impact. The terms of the Rights Issue, including the Subscription Price, were determined after arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Underwriter, taking into account, among others, the following factors: (i) the prevailing share price of the Company; (ii) the latest business performance and financial position of the Group; and (iii) the funding and capital needs of the Company

In determining the terms of the Rights Issue, the Company strives to set a reasonable subscription price that reflects a balance between the inherent value and the market price of the Shares. While the Rights Issue is fully underwritten by the Underwriter, an existing

- 16 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Shareholder may make an informed decision in electing to accept or decline part of or all of his/her/its provisional allotment of nil paid Rights Shares. The Underwriter would be accepting the Rights Shares on the same price as any other Qualifying Shareholder.

Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up the Rights Shares to which they are entitled should note that their shareholdings in the Company will be diluted upon completion of the Rights Issue. The possible maximum dilution to shareholdings of those Qualifying Shareholders who do not subscribe to the Rights Issue is approximately 66.67%.

The Directors (including the members of the Independent Board Committee after considering the advice from the Independent Financial Adviser) are of the view that the terms and structure of the Rights Issue are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders, and that all Qualifying Shareholders are treated equally.

The net price per Rights Share (i.e. the Subscription Price less cost and expenses incurred in the Rights Issue) upon full acceptance of the relevant provisional allotment of Rights Shares will be approximately HK$0.265.

Status of Rights Shares

The Rights Shares, when allotted and fully paid, will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares then in issue. Holders of fully-paid Rights Shares will be entitled to receive all future dividends and distributions, which are declared, made or paid, the record date of which is after the date of allotment of the Rights Shares in their fully-paid form.

Fractions of Rights Shares

On the basis of provisional allotment of two (2) Rights Shares for every one (1) Share held by the Qualifying Shareholders on the Record Date, no fractional entitlements to the Rights Shares will arise under the Rights Issue.

Share certificates and refund cheques for the Rights Issue

Subject to the fulfillment of the conditions of the Rights Issue, share certificates for all fully paid Rights Shares are expected to be posted on Monday, 6 April 2020 by ordinary post to the allottees, at their own risk, to their registered addresses. Each Shareholder will receive one share certificate for all allotted shares. Refund cheques in respect of wholly or partially unsuccessful applications for the excess Rights Shares (if any) are expected to be posted on Monday, 6 April 2020 by ordinary post to the applicants, at their own risk, to their registered addresses.

The first day of dealings in the Rights Shares in their fully-paid form is expected to commence at 9 : 00 a.m. on Tuesday, 7 April 2020.

- 17 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Application for excess Rights Shares

Qualifying Shareholders may apply, by way of excess application, for any unsold entitlements of the Excluded Shareholders and for any Rights Shares provisionally allotted but not accepted.

Application for excess Rights Shares can be made only by duly completing and signing an EAF (in accordance with the instructions printed therein) and lodging the same with a separate cheque or banker's cashier order for the sum payable for the excess Rights Shares being applied for with the Registrar at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong no later than 4 : 00 p.m. on Friday, 27 March 2020.

The Directors will allocate the excess Rights Shares (if any) at their discretion on a fair and equitable basis on the following principles:

  1. any excess Rights Shares will be allocated to Qualifying Shareholders who apply for them on a pro rata basis by reference to the number of the excess Rights Shares applied for under each application;
  2. no reference will be made to the Rights Shares subscribed through applications by PALs or the existing number of Shares held by Qualifying Shareholders;
  3. no preference will be given to applications for topping up odd-lot holdings to whole lot holdings; and
  4. pursuant to Rule 7.21(3)(b) of the Listing Rules, the Company will also take steps to identify the applications for excess Rights Shares made by any Controlling Shareholder or its associates (together, the ''Relevant Shareholders''), whether in their own names or through nominees. The Company shall disregard the Relevant Shareholders' applications for excess Rights Shares to the extent that the total number of excess Right Shares they have applied for exceeds a maximum number equivalent to the total number of Rights Shares offered under the Rights Issue minus the number of Rights Shares taken up by the Relevant Shareholders under their assured entitlement to the Rights Shares.

If the aggregate number of Rights Shares not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders and/or transferees of nil-paid Rights Shares under PALs is greater than the aggregate number of excess Rights Shares being applied for under EAFs, the Directors will allocate to each Qualifying Shareholder who applies for excess Rights Shares the actual number of excess Rights Shares being applied for.

Shareholders with Shares held by a nominee (or which are held in CCASS) should note that the Board will consider the nominee (including HKSCC Nominees Limited) as one single Shareholder according to the register of members of the Company. Accordingly, such Shareholders should note that the aforesaid arrangement in relation to the allocation of the excess Rights Shares will not be extended to the relevant beneficial owners individually.

- 18 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Shareholders with Shares held by a nominee (or which are held in CCASS) are advised to consider whether they would like to arrange for the registration of their relevant Shares under the names of the beneficial owners prior to the Record Date for the purpose of the Rights Issue. Shareholders and investors should consult their professional advisers if they are in doubt as to their status.

Application for listing

The Company will apply to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms to be issued and allotted pursuant to the Rights Issue. The nil-paid Rights Shares shall have the same board lot size as the Shares, i.e. 4,000 Shares in one board lot.

Subject to the granting of the approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms on the Stock Exchange, the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from their respective commencement dates of dealings on the Stock Exchange or such other dates as determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second trading day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time. Shareholders should seek advice from their stockbrokers or other professional advisers for details of those settlement arrangements and how such arrangements will affect their rights and interests.

Dealings in the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms, which are registered in the register of members of the Company, will be subject to the payment of stamp duty, Stock Exchange trading fee, transaction levy, investor compensation levy or any other applicable fees and charges in Hong Kong.

No part of the securities of the Company is listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange and no application for listing of or permission to deal in the Shares, the Rights Shares or any other securities of the Company is being made, or is proposed to be sought, on any other stock exchange.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Notes:

  1. The above percentage figures are subject to rounding adjustments. Accordingly, figures shown as total may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures preceding it.
  2. Pearl Garden is wholly-owned by Cornice Worldwide Limited, the entire issued share capital of which is held by Fiducia Suisse SA as discretionary trustee for Mr. Li's family members.
  3. Madian Star is wholly-owned by Yonice Limited, the entire issued share capital of which is held by Fiducia Suisse SA as discretionary trustee for Mr. Chen's family members.
  4. Mr. Chen and Mr. Choi are executive Directors, and Mr. Phaisalakani Vichai is an independent non-executive Director.
  5. This scenario is for illustrative purpose only. Under the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter has undertaken that it shall use its reasonable endeavours to ensure that, among others, (i) the public float requirements under the Listing Rules be fulfilled by the Company upon completion of the Rights Issue; (ii) it shall not, together with party(ies) acting in concert with it, hold 20% or more of the voting rights of the Company upon completion of the Rights Issue; and (iii) sub-underwriters and placees procured by them, together with parties acting in concert with each of them, will not own 10% or more of the voting rights of the Company upon completion of the Rights Issue. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Underwriter had procured four sub-underwriters for sub-underwriting an aggregate of 904,000,000 Underwritten Shares. Each of the four sub-underwriters, namely Liberty Securities Limited, Hope Securities Limited, Satinu Markets Limited and Win Wind Securities Limited (collectively, the ''Sub-underwriters'') had agreed to take up 226,000,000 Underwritten Shares. To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors and having made all reasonable enquiries, the Sub-underwriters and their respective ultimate beneficial owners are Independent Third Parties. None of the Underwriter and the Sub-underwriters will hold 10% or more of equity interest and voting rights in the Company upon completion of the Rights Issue.

Shareholders and public investors should note that the above shareholding changes are for illustration purposes only and the actual changes in the shareholding structure of the Company upon completion of the Rights Issue are subject to various factors, including the results of acceptance of the Rights Issue.

REASONS FOR THE RIGHTS ISSUE AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The principal activities of the Group's subsidiaries are production of and sale of knitted fabric and dyed yarn and garment products.

Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 3 July 2019, 1 August 2019, 14 October 2019 and 28 November 2019. The Group has planned to construct a manufacturing base in Bangladesh for fabric production (the ''Expansion'') as the costs of production in Bangladesh is lower than that in the PRC, and the advantage of lower import tax for textile products to those customers in Europe and the US as compared to that of the PRC, thereby increasing the Group's overall competitiveness in capturing more business opportunities from potential customers in Europe and the US. The Expansion will be invested with a business partner (the ''JV Partner''), which is a Chinese textile and apparel

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

manufacturer and exporter and has over 20 years' experience in garment manufacturing, with scaled operation in Bangladesh. The JV Partner provides products and services for global renowned fashion brands, exporting worldwide to Europe, the US and Australia.

The Group chose the JV Partner as the business partner for the Expansion since (i) the JV Partner intends to further develop upstream manufacturing process; (ii) due to established presence of the JV Partner for more than 20 years in Bangladesh, the Group believes it will be easier to enter the Bangladesh market with the expertise of the JV Partner, where the JV Partner can provide its local resources and its knowhow to collaborate with the Group to manage workers and supervise the Expansion; and (iii) the JV Partner, being one of the Group's customers, will be able to consume the products produced from the Bangladesh manufacturing base for its further production, and the Group believes it can boost the Group's sales as a whole. The shareholding of the JV Partner and the Company in the joint venture is 51% and 49% respectively.

As stated in the Announcement, the joint venture formed by the Group and the JV Partner entered into an agreement with relevant government authority for acquisition of the land for the construction of manufacturing base in September 2019, and completion of the acquisition of land is expected to take place in or about February 2020. The agreement for the acquisition of the land was entered into in the name of the JV Partner to expedite the process of implementation of the Expansion. Based on the updated timetable, completion of the acquisition of land is expected to take place in or about May 2020 due to procedures of Bangladesh authorities. It is expected that the construction of the manufacturing base will commence after completion of acquisition of land, and the manufacturing base will first focus on fabric production and it is expected that fabric production will commence at the manufacturing base in or about the second half of 2021. The expected monthly production capacity for fabric production will be approximately 2.5 million pounds.

Based on the negotiation with the JV Partner, and the preliminary assessment of the estimated capital expenditure required, it is expected that approximately HK$1,000 million will be required and will be borne by the JV Partner and us pro rata to the interests held respectively in the joint venture, of which:

  1. approximately HK$150 million will be used for the acquisition of land, which is expected to be utilised in or about the first half of 2020;
  2. approximately HK$300 million will be used for constructing the production plant, which is expected to be utilised in or about the second half of 2020;
  3. approximately HK$400 million will be used for acquiring machineries, which is expected to be utilised in or about 2021; and
  4. approximately HK$150 million will be used for constructing a water treatment plant, which is expected to be utilised in or about the second half of 2020.

Depending on the actual funding needs of the Expansion and the then working capital of the Group, the Company plans to fund the Expansion by the net proceeds of (i) approximately HK$157 million from the placing completed on 18 January 2018; (ii)

- 27 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

approximately HK$63.7 million from the August Convertible Bonds; (iii) approximately HK$64.7 million from the October Convertible Bonds; (iv) approximately HK$206.2 million from the Rights Issue; and (v) internal resources of the Group. As at the Latest Practicable Date, based on the current plan for the Expansion, the Directors are of the view that the estimated proceeds from the Rights Issue (i.e. HK$206.2 million) would be sufficient to satisfy the remaining capital expenditure.

Under the joint venture, as we have the expertise in fabric production, the Company is responsible for the initial planning of the production plant, including construction of the production plant and wastewater treatment plant, and procurement of machineries; while the JV Partner, which has local resources, has an established presence in Bangladesh and is familiar with the investing environment of Bangladesh, is responsible for acquiring the land for the construction of the production plant and recruiting labour. After the Expansion, the rights and obligations in relation to the production facilities, including but not limited to, rights to use, cost of repair and maintenance, depreciation and depletion, will be borne by the JV Partner and the Group pro rata to the interests held respectively in the joint venture, and the joint venture will be jointly managed by the JV Partner and the Company.

In addition, according to the Company's interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2019, the Company recorded bank balances and cash of approximately HK$2,078 million and bank borrowings due within one year was approximately HK$2,421 million as at 30 September 2019. The management of the Company considers that given that (i) its current low liquid capital position as compared to its bank borrowings due within one year; (ii) the decrease in bank balances and cash by 15.4% from approximately HK$2,455 million as at 31 March 2019 to approximately HK$2,078 million;

  1. the expected further decrease of the Group's bank balances and cash upon repayment of the syndicated loan of approximately HK$300 million in both June 2020 and December 2020; (iv) the gearing ratio of the Group, being defined as net debt (representing total bank borrowings net of cash and cash equivalents) to shareholders' funds, was approximately 38.5%; and (v) the weakened global economy and the uncertainties outlook for 2020 pursuant to the trade war between the US and China, the management of the Company considers that it is a matter of prudent financial management and treasury policy that sufficient cash be maintained by the Group to repay its bank borrowings when they fall due. Despite the cash balance as at 30 September 2019, after taking into account the net proceeds from the Rights Issue of approximately HK$206.3 million for repayment of bank loans, is approximately HK$2,284.3 million in aggregate, which is lower than the amount of bank borrowings due within one year as at 30 September 2019, the Group plans to satisfy its repayment obligations for the bank borrowings by internal resources and through refinancing of existing borrowings to the extent where such refinancing arrangement is allowed by the banks.

- 28 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The estimated gross proceeds and net proceeds (after the deduction of the costs and expenses which the Company will incur in the Rights Issue) amount to approximately HK$419.5 million and HK$412.5 million, respectively. The estimated expenses of the Rights Issue are approximately HK$7.0 million, which include underwriting commission and professional fees payable to the financial advisers, legal counsels, financial printer and other parties involved in the Rights Issue and will be borne by the Company. The Company intends to apply the abovementioned net proceeds from the Rights Issue in the following manner:

  1. approximately HK$206.2 million for the Expansion; and
  2. approximately HK$206.3 million for the repayment of bank loans.

Having considered other fund raising alternatives for the Group, including issuance of debt securities and Share placements and taking into account the benefit and costs of each alternative, the Board considers that the Rights Issue provides a good opportunity for the Group to strengthen its capital base and to enhance its financial position, while at the same time the Rights Issue will enable all Shareholders to participate in the future development of the Company on equal terms. Since the Rights Issue will allow the Qualifying Shareholders to maintain their respective pro rata shareholdings in the Company and therefore avoid dilution, the Board considers that it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to raise capital through the Rights Issue.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the Rights Issue, the Board has no intention or plan to conduct other equity fund raising activities in the next 12 months. However, if there shall arise any other potential investment opportunities or any change of the Group's current circumstances and existing business plans and that the net proceeds from the Rights Issue may not satisfy such upcoming financing needs, the Board does not rule out the possibility that the Company may conduct further equity fund raising exercises to support such future developments of the Group. The Company will make further announcement in this regard in accordance with the Listing Rules as and when appropriate.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Comparison of historical results between years for material items

FY2018 and FY2019

The Group's revenue increased by approximately HK$452.7 million, or 9.1%, from approximately HK$4,960.3 million for FY2018 to approximately HK$5,413.0 million for FY2019. According to the Annual Report, such increase was contributed by the increase in revenue generated from the production and sales of knitted fabric and dyed yarn, which was attributable to the enhanced production capabilities through streamlining the production processes and automation of machineries. The Group's gross profit also recorded an increase of approximately HK$125.3 million, or 14.4%, from approximately HK$868.4 million for FY2018 to approximately HK$993.7 million for FY2019, which was due to the increase in gross profit from the production and sales of knitted fabric and dyed yarn as benefitted from the achievement of economies of scale. The Group's gross profit margin remained relatively stable at approximately 17.5% for FY2018 and approximately 18.4% for FY2019.

The Group's other gains and losses mainly consist of gains or losses from foreign exchange, fair value change of derivative financial instruments, and one-off items such as litigation claims, gain or loss from disposal of fixed assets and modification of liabilities. The Group's other gains and losses recorded a significant decrease from a net gain of approximately HK$92.5 million for FY2018 to a net loss of approximately HK$49.1 million for FY2019. As noted from the Annual Report, such decrease was mainly due to (i) the recognition of net loss on fair value change of derivative financial instruments of approximately HK$4.4 million for FY2019 compared to a net gain on fair value change of derivative financial instruments of approximately HK$89.3 million for FY2018; and (ii) the one-off loss from litigation claims of approximately HK$46.1 million for FY2019.

The Group's finance costs consist of interest on bank borrowings and convertible bonds. The Group's finance costs increased by approximately HK$38.3 million, or 19.9%, from approximately HK$192.5 million for FY2018 to approximately HK$230.8 million for FY2019. As noted from the Annual Report, such increase was mainly due to the increase in prevailing interest rates and accrued interest for convertible bonds.

As a result of the above, the Group's net profit decreased by approximately HK$47.6 million, or 14.9%, from approximately HK$319.2 million for FY2018 to approximately HK$271.5 million for FY2019. The Group's net profit margin also decreased from approximately 6.4% for FY2018 to approximately 5.0% for FY2019.

1H2019 and 1H2020

The Group's revenue decreased by approximately HK$152.9 million, or 5.6%, from approximately HK$2,724.5 million for 1H2019 to approximately HK$2,571.6 million for 1H2020. According to the Interim Report, such decrease was attributable to the decrease in revenue generated from the production and sales of knitted fabric and dyed yarn, which was resulted by the slowdown in order book particularly since second half of 2019 and downward trend of cotton price which adversely affected the pricing of the Group's textile products. As a result of the above, the Group's gross profit also recorded a decrease by approximately HK$26.2 million, or 5.4%, from approximately HK$487.2 million for 1H2019 to approximately HK$461.0 million for 1H2020. The Group's gross profit margin remained relatively stable at approximately 17.9% for both 1H2019 and 1H2020.

The Group's other gains and losses recorded a significant increase from a net loss of approximately HK$0.2 million for 1H2019 to a net gain of approximately HK$92.2 million for 1H2020. As noted from the Interim Report, such increase was mainly due to

  1. the gain on disposal of right-of-use assets of approximately HK$67.3 million and (ii) the gain on modification of financial liability of approximately HK$25.2 million.

The Group's finance costs increased by approximately HK$17.0 million, or 16.1%, from approximately HK$105.9 million for 1H2019 to approximately HK$123.0 million for 1H2020. As discussed with and understood from the management of the Company, such increase was mainly due to the increase in syndicated loan interest and trade loans interest.

As a result of the above, the Group's net profit increased by approximately HK$76.4 million, or 59.3%, from approximately HK$128.8 million for 1H2019 to approximately HK$205.2 million for 1H2020. The Group's net profit margin also increased from approximately 4.7% for 1H2019 to approximately 8.0% for 1H2020.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  1. Reasons for the Rights Issue and proposed use of net proceeds

As set out in the Letter from the Board, assuming no further Shares will be issued or repurchased by the Company on or before the Record Date, the estimated gross proceeds and net proceeds (after the deduction of the costs and expenses which the Company will incur in the Rights Issue) amount to approximately HK$419.5 million and HK$412.5 million, respectively. The estimated expenses of the Rights Issue are approximately HK$7.0 million, which include underwriting commission and professional fees payable to the financial advisers, legal counsels, financial printer and other parties involved in the Rights Issue and will be borne by the Company. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Rights Issue in the following manner:

  1. approximately 50.0% or approximately HK$206.2 million will be applied for the construction of a manufacturing base in Bangladesh for fabric production (the ''Expansion''); and
  2. approximately 50.0% or approximately HK$206.3 million will be applied for the repayment of bank loans.

The Expansion

As set out in the announcements of the Company dated 3 July 2019, 1 August

2019 and 14 October 2019 and the Interim Report, the Group has planned to construct a manufacturing base in Bangladesh for fabric production with a view to lower the average manufacturing costs and risk diversification. Further as noted from the Letter from the Board, the Expansion will be invested with a business partner (the ''JV Partner''), which is a Chinese textile and apparel manufacturer and exporter and has over 20 years' experience in garment manufacturing with scaled operation in Bangladesh. The JV Partner provides products and services for global renowned fashion brands, exporting worldwide to Europe, the US and Australia. As discussed with the management of the Company, we understand that the Group and the JV Partner will be interested in the joint venture as to 49% and 51% respectively. The Group chose the JV Partner as the business partner for the Expansion since (i) the JV Partner intends to further develop upstream manufacturing process; (ii) due to established presence of the JV Partner for more than 20 years in Bangladesh, the Group believes it will be easier to enter the Bangladesh market with the expertise of the JV Partner, where the JV Partner can provide its local resources and its knowhow to collaborate with the Group to manage workers and supervise the Expansion; and (iii) the JV Partner, being one of the Group's customers, will be able to consume the products produced from the Bangladesh manufacturing base for its further production, and the Group believes it can boost the Group's sales as a whole. In addition, we understand from the management of the Company that, to expedite the process of implementation of the Expansion, the agreement for the acquisition of the land was entered into in the name of the JV Partner with relevant government authority for the construction of manufacturing base in September 2019, and completion of the acquisition of land is expected to take place in or about May 2020 due to procedures of Bangladesh authorities. As noted from the Letter from the Board, based on the

- 43 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

negotiation with the JV Partner, and the preliminary assessment of the estimated capital expenditure required, it is expected that approximately HK$1,000 million will be required and will be borne by the JV Partner and the Group pro rata to the interests held respectively in the joint venture, of which (i) approximately HK$150 million will be used for the acquisition of land which is expected to be utilised in or about the first half of 2020; (ii) approximately HK$300 million will be used for constructing the production plant which is expected to be utilised in or about the second half of 2020;

  1. approximately HK$400 million will be used for acquiring machineries which is expected to be utilised in or about 2021; and (iv) approximately HK$150 million will be used for constructing a water treatment plant which is expected to be utilised in or about the second half of 2020.

Under the joint venture, as the Group has the expertise in fabric production, the Group is responsible for the initial planning of the production plant, including construction of the production plant and wastewater treatment plant, and procurement of machineries; while the JV Partner, which has local resources, an established presence in Bangladesh and is familiar with the investing environment of Bangladesh, is responsible for acquiring the land for the construction of the production plant and recruiting labour. After the Expansion, the rights and obligations in relation to the production facilities, including but not limited to, rights to use, cost of repair and maintenance, depreciation and depletion, will be borne by the JV Partner and the Group pro-rata to the interests held respectively in the joint venture, and the joint venture will be jointly managed by the JV Partner and the Group.

We discussed with the management of the Company and were advised that the operating environment has become more complicated along with the trade war between the US and the PRC (''Trade War''). The global economy remained unstable while consumer sentiments remained sluggish. Although the Directors of the Company consider that the Trade War has no direct business impact as the Group does not export finished products directly from the PRC to the US, the indirect and long-term impact remain unseen. As the Company only operates a single manufacturing base in Jiangmen, the PRC, uncertainties resulting from the Trade War noticeably increased. As such, the Directors consider, and we concur with the Company that in order to mitigate the risks from indirect impact of the Trade War and to maintain the competitiveness of the Group, it is strategically reasonable to find an alternative production base outside the PRC.

In addition, we have obtained the information on the JV Partner from the Company and independently conducted desktop research on their background. We noted that the JV Partner was founded in 1997 and is a leading Chinese textile and apparel manufacturer in Bangladesh. As per its website, the JV Partner is headquartered in Xiamen, China with the manufacturing base in Gazipur Industrial Zone, Bangladesh which employs over 18,000 employees. It specialises in activewear and underwear and exports worldwide to Europe, North America and Australia.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the costs of production in Bangladesh is lower than that in the PRC. We have reviewed statistics from the Minimum Wages Board of Bangladesh and notice issued by the People's Government of Guangdong Province. It is noted that the latest minimum wage of worker in cotton textile industry is 5,710 Bangladeshi Taka per month (equivalent to approximately HK$523 per month), while the minimum wage in Jiangmen, the PRC (where the Group's existing plant is located) is RMB1,550 per month (equivalent to approximately HK$1,747 per month). As further noted from the Letter from the Board, the import tax for textile products from Bangladesh to customers in Europe and the US is lower than that from the PRC. Taking into account the aforesaid reasons, we agree with the Company that a manufacturing base in Bangladesh would have cost advantage over the Group's existing manufacturing base in Jiangmen, the PRC and hence potentially increase the Group's overall competitiveness in capturing business opportunities in Europe and the US.

Having considered the above factors, we consider that it is reasonable to consider an alternative production base outside the PRC in order to mitigate the risks from indirect impact of the Trade War. We also consider that it is reasonable to consider the Expansion in Bangladesh under the Group's circumstances, given that the Expansion will be a joint venture with an experienced JV Partner in Bangladesh and Bangladesh offers a relatively lower costs of production compared to that in the PRC and it also has relatively lower tax and duty for textile goods imported into the US and Europe than that from the PRC, which could reduce the overall product costs and hence potentially increase the Group's overall competitiveness in capturing business opportunities in Europe and the US.

The total investment of the Expansion is expected to be approximately HK$1,000 million, of which approximately HK$490 million will be borne by the Company as a 49% joint venture partner of the Expansion. The Company intends to apply approximately HK$206.2 million of the net proceeds of the Rights Issue to finance the Expansion. The remaining investment balance of the Expansion of approximately HK$283.8 million is expected to be financed by the net proceeds of (i) approximately HK$157 million from the share placement completed on 18 January 2018; (ii) approximately HK$63.7 million from the August Convertible Bonds; and (iii) approximately HK$64.7 million from the October Convertible Bonds. As at the Latest Practicable Date, based on the current plan for the Expansion, the Directors are of the view that the estimated proceeds from the Rights Issue (i.e. HK$206.2 million) would be sufficient to satisfy the remaining capital expenditure. Any additional requirement for the Expansion is current expected to be financed by the internal resources of the Group.

We have discussed with the management of the Company the alternative financing methods as opposed to the Rights Issue. Based on the Company's assessment, other equity financing method such as placing of new Shares under general mandate can only raise funds in smaller size and does not allow the Shareholders to maintain their respective shareholding in the Company, whereas open offer does not provide the flexibility to the Shareholders who wish to subscribe the Rights Share to increase their

- 45 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

shareholding interests in the Company by acquiring additional rights entitlements in the open market or to the Shareholders who opt not to subscribe the Rights Shares to reduce their shareholding interests in the Company by disposing their nil-paid Rights Shares during the prescribed period of time for economic benefits. As such, the Directors considered that placing of new Shares and open offer are not a desirable alternative to the Rights Issue. In respect of debt financing, in view of the uncertain outlook for the global economy and the Group's high gearing ratio, the Directors of the Company consider that (i) there is no assurance that bank loans will be made available to the Group throughout the entire period for which the Company requires funding, (ii) it may be difficult for the Group to obtain bank borrowings on favourable terms in view of the weakened global economy and the uncertain outlook, and (iii) it is more expedient to use long-term funding means to finance its long-term business expansion. The Directors considered that equity funding by way of Rights Issue is an appropriate means to raise long term capital to strengthen the capital base of the Company and to finance the long-term investment plans of the Group. Having considered the above factors, we concur with the Company that the Rights Issue is the appropriate funding method for the Expansion.

Repayment of bank loans

As noted from the Interim Report, the Company recorded bank balances and cash of approximately HK$2,078 million and bank borrowings due within one year of approximately HK$2,421 million as at 30 September 2019. As set out in the Letter from the Board, the management of the Company considered that given that (i) the Group's current low liquid capital position as compared to its bank borrowings due within one year; (ii) the decrease in bank balances and cash by approximately 15.4% from approximately HK$2,455 million as at 31 March 2019 to approximately HK$2,078 million as at 30 September 2019 mainly attributable to the repayment of bank borrowings and purchase of property, plant and equipment; (iii) the expected further decrease of the Group's bank balances and cash upon repayment of the syndicated loan of approximately HK$300 million in both June 2020 and December 2020 if the syndicated loan cannot be re-financed at terms agreeable to the Group; (iv) the gearing ratio of the Group, being defined as net debt (representing total bank borrowings net of cash and cash equivalents) to shareholders' funds, was approximately 38.5%; and (v) the weakened global economy and the uncertain outlook for 2020 pursuant to the trade war between the US and China, it is a prudent financial management and treasury policy that sufficient cash reserve should be retained by the Group enabling the Group to maintain financially flexible to meet its payment obligation including any possible repayment of bank borrowings when they fall due. We note that the estimated cash balance of the Group as at 30 September 2019, after taking into account the net proceeds from the Rights Issue of HK$206.3 million for repayment of bank loans of approximately HK$2,284.3 million in aggregate is still lower than the amount of bank borrowings of the Group due within one year as at 30 September 2019. The Group plans to satisfy its repayment obligations for the bank borrowings by internal resources and through re-financing of existing borrowings to the extent where such refinancing arrangement is allowed by the banks.

- 46 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

In this regard, we have discussed with the management of the Company and were advised that they kept constant dialogue with its principal banks about re-financing the existing loans of the Company but their principal banks indicated that such renewal/re-financing depended on a number of factors including but not limited to the prevailing market conditions, the Group's financial performance and gearing position, and such arrangement could not be guaranteed. The management of the Company also added that the re-financing, if successful, may be renewed with terms which are less favourable to the Group as compared to the existing terms, in view of the uncertain outlook of the global economy and the Group's gearing position as compared to its peers. In respect of the gearing ratio, we have identified 13 comparable companies (''Comparable Companies'') as at the date of the Announcement which (i) are listed in the Main Board of the Stock Exchange; (ii) derive most of their revenue from the production and trading of textile products based on the latest published results announcement; and (iii) were profit making based on the latest published results announcement, and calculated the gearing ratio of each of the Comparable Companies. We noted that these Comparable Companies have a gearing ratio ranging from net cash to approximately 78.1% with an average of approximately 23.1%. The gearing ratio of the Group of approximately 38.5% is higher than the average of the gearing ratio of the Comparable Companies. In addition, as discussed in the section headed ''A. Information on the Group'', as at 30 September 2019, the total liabilities of the Group were approximately HK$5,895.1 million, of which approximately HK$2,420.6 million was relating to the bank borrowings due within one year and approximately HK$2,262.4 million was relating to long-term bank borrowings. As per the Interim Report of the Group, the range of effective interest rates of the Group's bank borrowings were 2.96% to 5.90% per annum for 1H2020. The Group recorded finance costs of approximately HK$230.8 million and HK$123.0 million for FY2019 and 1H2020, respectively, which was mainly attributable to the interest expenses on the bank borrowings and convertible bonds. The interest coverage of the Group, being defined as profit before interest and tax to finance costs, was approximately 2.8 times for 1H2020. We also compared the interest coverage of the Group to the Comparable Companies. We noted that the Comparable Companies have an interest coverage ranging from approximately 2.3 times to approximately 90.9 times with an average of approximately 10.7 times. If we exclude two extreme outlier samples which have interest coverage of 90.9 times and 48.9 times, the adjusted interest coverage will range from approximately 2.3 times to approximately 17.5 times with an average of approximately 7.3 times. The interest coverage of the Group is lower than the average of the adjusted interest coverage of the Comparable Companies. The Directors consider, and we concur with the Company that the application of part of the net proceeds from the Rights Issue to repay bank loans could (i) increase the Group's equity capital base and lower its gearing, which will help the Group negotiate with its principal banks about existing loans re-financing or any new loan proposition; (ii) relieve the pressure on raising external capital for repayment of the liabilities of the Company in near future as needed; and (iii) allow the Group to have bigger financial reserve and more flexibility to support its cash flow requirements in its existing operations as well as for any potential developments.

Historical Share Price Performance

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, we have reviewed the movements in the closing price of the Shares during the period from 18 December 2018, being 12 months immediately preceding the date of the Underwriting Agreement, to the Latest Trading Day (the ''Review Period''). We consider that a period of 12 months is adequate to illustrate the recent price movements of the Shares for conducting a reasonable comparison between the closing price of the Shares and the Subscription Price.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

During the Review Period, the highest and the lowest closing price of the Shares were HK$1.176 per Share on 13 February 2019 and HK$0.315 per Share on 25 October 2019 respectively. The Subscription Price of HK$0.270 is lower than the closing price of the Shares throughout the Review Period. The Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 77.0% and 14.3% to the highest and the lowest closing price of the Shares of the Review Period respectively.

The closing price of the Shares has been on a decreasing trend in general during the Review Period from HK$1.01 per share on 18 December 2018 to HK$0.350 per share on the Last Trading Day. We have reviewed and discussed with the Company regarding (i) the financial position of the Group (including the latest consolidated management accounts of the Group for the three months ended 31 December 2019, capital and other commitments, contingent liabilities and future cash flow and financing requirements of the Group), (ii) the trading position of the Group with respect to its top suppliers and customers, and (iii) the outlook of the Group. Based on such review and discussion, as at the Latest Practicable Date, we concur with the Directors of the Company with their view that (i) they were not aware of any material changes in the financial or trading position or outlook of the Group since 30 September 2019, being the date on which the consolidated financial information of the Company were made up and disclosed in the Interim Report, and up to and including the Latest Practicable Date; and (ii) they confirm that the Company does not have any inside information that is required to be disclosed under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong). Given that the prevailing historical trading prices have already reflected the market valuation of the Company based on its financial results and corporate actions and the prevailing market sentiment, we are of the view that it is reasonable for the Company to set the Subscription Price with reference to its prevailing historical trading prices. Besides, as discussed in the paragraph headed ''Rights Issue comparable analysis'' below, we noted that it is common market practice to set the subscription price at a discount to the prevailing market prices of the relevant shares in order to increase the attractiveness and encouraging shareholders to participate in the rights issue.

We are of the view that

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

issuers with relatively thinner average daily trading volume of their shares may need to offer a relatively larger discount to the prevailing trading price in order to attract their shareholders to subscribe for the new shares when they propose to raise funds by way of a rights issue or open offer. As such, it is reasonable for the Company to take into account of the thin trading liquidity of the Shares when it set the Subscription Price in order to attract the Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue.

Rights Issue comparable analysis

In order to further assess the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Rights Issue, we have reviewed 18 comparable transactions (the ''Comparables'') which involve issuance of rights shares announced by companies listed on the Stock Exchange since 1 March 2019 up to the date of the Announcement. Shareholders should note that the business activities of the companies of the Comparables vary from company to company with their financial positions, business performances and future prospects. Although the circumstances surrounding such Comparables may be different from those relating to the Company, we consider that the Comparables provide a fair indicator of the prevailing market practices in relation to rights issue transactions conducted by the companies listed in the Stock Exchange.

Note: The potential maximum dilution effect of each rights issue is calculated as number of rights shares issued or to be issued under the basis of entitlement divided by the total number of shares as enlarged by the rights issue according to their respective basis of entitlements and assuming all rights shares have been/will be allotted and issued times 100%.

We noted from the above table that all of the Comparables had set the subscription price of their rights issue at a discount to the prevailing market price of the relevant shares before the relevant announcements in respect of the rights issue were made. Therefore, we consider it is a normal market practice for listed companies to set the subscription price of rights issue at a discount to the prevailing market price of the relevant shares so as to encourage the shareholders' participation. The discount represented by the subscription prices to the closing price of shares of the Comparables on respective last trading day ranges from approximately 4.76% to approximately 65.30% with average of approximately 23.19%. The discount of approximately 22.86% of the Subscription Price to the closing price of the Shares on the Last Trading Day falls within the range of those of the Comparables and is close to the average discount of the Comparables.

- 56 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The subscription prices of the Comparables represent a discount ranging from approximately 3.23% to 57.40% relative to their respective theoretical ex-rights prices as quoted on the last trading day with average of approximately 15.90%. The discount of approximately 9.09% of the Subscription Price to the theoretical ex-rights prices of the Shares on the Last Trading Day is within the range of those of the Comparables and is lower than the average discount of the Comparables.

Net asset value

The Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 96.90% to the unaudited net asset value per Share of approximately HK$8.72 as at 30 September 2019. We consider that the net asset value per Share is not a meaningful benchmark to assess the Subscription Price as the Shares have been generally traded at significant discount to the NAV per Share in the open market at a range of approximately 86.5% to 96.4% during the Review Period. Given the prevailing market price of the Shares have already reflected the market valuation of the Company, we consider that the prevailing market price of the Shares to be relevant for our assessment to the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price.

Based on the above analysis and the facts that (i) there were no material changes in the financial or trading position or outlook of the Group since 30 September 2019 which indicate that the prevailing historical trading prices of the Company did not reflect the market valuation of the Company; (ii) it is common for the listed companies in Hong Kong to set the subscription price of rights issue at a discount to the market price of the listed shares in order to enhance the attractiveness of the rights issue transactions, which the discount would encourage the Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue and accordingly maintain their shareholding interests in the Company and participate in the future growth of the Company; (iii) it is justifiable for the Company to set the Subscription Price at a discount to the prevailing trading prices given that the liquidity in trading of the Shares was thin during the Review Period; (iv) the discount of the Subscription Price to the closing price of the Shares on the Last Trading Day fall within the discount range of the Comparables and is close to the average discount of the Comparables; (v) the discount of the Subscription Price to the theoretical ex-rights price fall within the discount range of the Comparables and is lower than the average discount of the Comparables; (vi) the Subscription Price was determined after arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Underwriter;

  1. the Rights Issue is available to all Qualifying Shareholders by providing them with an equal opportunity to participate in the Rights Issue; and (viii) those Qualifying Shareholders who do not wish to subscribe for their pro-rata entitlement of the Rights Shares can receive economic benefits from selling their nil-paid Rights Shares in the market, we consider that the Subscription Price is on normal commercial term and fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

- 57 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(iii) Application for excess Right Shares

Pursuant to the terms of the Rights Issue, Qualifying Shareholders may apply, by way of excess application, for any unsold entitlements of the Excluded Shareholders and for any Rights Share provisionally allotted but not accepted. Application for excess Rights Shares can be made by duly completing and signing an EAF and lodging the same with a separate cheque or banker's cashier order for the sum payable for the excess Rights Shares. The Directors will allocate the excess Rights Shares (if any) at their discretion on a fair and equitable basis on the following principles:

  1. any excess Rights Shares will be allocated to Qualifying Shareholders who apply for them on a pro rata basis by reference to the total number of the excess Rights Shares applied for under each application;
  2. no reference will be made to the Rights Shares subscribed through applications by PALs or the existing number of Shares held by Qualifying Shareholders;
  3. no preference will be given to applications for topping up odd-lot holdings to whole lot holdings; and
  4. pursuant to Rule 7.21(3)(b) of the Listing Rules, the Company will also take steps to identify the applications for excess Rights Shares made by any Controlling Shareholder or its associates (together, the ''Relevant Shareholders''), whether in their own names or through nominees. The Company shall disregard the Relevant Shareholders' applications for excess Rights Shares to the extent that the total number of excess Rights Shares they have applied for exceeds a maximum number equivalent to the total number of Rights Shares offered under the Rights Issue minus the number of Rights Shares taken up by the Relevant Shareholders under their assured entitlement to the Rights Shares.

The Rights Issue is fully underwritten. Any Rights Share not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders and not taken by excess applications will be taken up by the Underwriter pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement.

As set out in the table above, 10 out of 18 Comparables have the arrangement for excess application for the qualifying shareholders. With the arrangement of application for excess Rights Shares, the Qualifying Shareholders shall be given a pre-emption right to subscribe for excess Rights Shares if they wish to do so. Moreover, the allocation basis adopted by the Company is in line with the normal market practice of other rights issues with arrangement of application for excess rights shares. Based on the above, we concur with the Company that the arrangement of application for excess Rights Shares for the Qualifying Shareholders and the allocation method for the excess Rights Shares are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

- 58 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  1. Underwriting Agreement

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the Underwriter, Get Nice Securities Limited (''Get Nice''), is a company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability and is a licensed corporation to carry on type 1 (dealing in securities), type 4 (advising on securities), type 6 (advising on corporate finance) and type 9 (asset management) regulated activities under the SFO and its ordinary course of business includes underwriting of securities. To the best knowledge and information of the Directors, after reasonable enquiries, the Underwriter is independent of and not connected with the Company or its connected persons.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter has conditionally agreed to fully underwrite the Rights Shares not subscribed by the Qualifying Shareholders for not more than 1,130,256,362 Rights Shares subject to the terms and conditions precedent contained therein. The Underwriter shall use its reasonable endeavours to ensure that, among others, (i) the public float requirement under the Listing Rules will be fulfilled by the Company upon completion of the Rights Issue; (ii) it shall not, together with party(ies) acting in concert with it, hold 20% or more of the voting rights of the Company upon completion of the Rights Issue; and (iii) sub-underwriters and placees procured by them, together with parties acting in concert with each of them, will not own 10% or more of the voting rights of the Company upon completion of the Rights Issue. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Underwriter had procured four sub-underwriters for sub-underwriting an aggregate of 904,000,000 Underwritten Shares. Each of the four sub-underwriters, namely Liberty Securities Limited, Hope Securities Limited, Satinu Markets Limited and Win Wind Securities Limited (collectively, the ''Sub-underwriters'') had agreed to take up 226,000,000 Underwritten Shares. To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors and having made all reasonable enquiries, the Sub-underwriters and their respective ultimate beneficial owners are Independent Third Parties. None of the Underwriter and the Sub-underwriters will hold 10% or more of equity interest and voting rights in the Company upon completion of the Rights Issue.

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the terms of the Underwriting Agreement (including the commission rate) were determined after arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Underwriter with reference to the existing financial position of the Group, the size of the Rights Issue, and the current and expected market conditions. The Directors are of the view that the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, including the commission rate, are fair and reasonable and the Underwriting Agreement are on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company shall pay the Underwriter an underwriting commission of 1.5% of the aggregate Subscription Price of the Underwritten Shares as underwriting commission. As illustrated in the table of Comparables above, the underwriting commission of 1.5% to be charged by the Underwriter under the Underwriting Agreement falls within the range of the commission rates of the Comparables of 1.0% to 3.5% and lower than the average commission rate of the Comparables of approximately 2.3%. Based on the above, we are of the view that the underwriting commission is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

- 59 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

It should also be noted that the Rights Issue will not proceed if the Underwriter exercises its termination rights under the Underwriting Agreement. Details of the provisions granting the Underwriter such termination rights are set out in the section headed ''Termination of the Underwriting Agreement'' in the Letter from the Board. In view that it is common to have a termination clause incorporated in the underwriting agreement and the termination events are customary in nature, we consider such provisions are normal commercial terms and in line with the normal market practice. We have also reviewed other major terms of the Underwriting Agreement and are not aware of any terms being unusual. Accordingly, we are of the view that the terms of the Underwriting Agreement are customary in nature, on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

  1. Dilution effect of the Rights Issue on shareholding interests

All Qualifying Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for the Rights Shares. For those Qualifying Shareholders who take up their full provisional allotments under the Rights Issue, their shareholding interests in the Company will remain unchanged after the Rights Issue. Qualifying Shareholders who do not accept the Rights Issue can, subject to the then prevailing market conditions, consider selling their nil-paid rights to subscribe for the Rights Shares in the market. Where all Qualifying Shareholders do not accept the Rights Issue and thus the Underwriter is obligated to take up the unsubscribed Rights Shares, the maximum dilution effect on the Qualifying Shareholders' shareholding interests will be approximately 66.7% (assuming no exercise of the Share Options and Convertible Bonds on or before the Record Date). Details of such dilution effect are presented in the section headed ''Effect of Rights Issue on shareholdings in the Company'' of the Letter from the Board.

Notwithstanding the aforesaid potential dilution in Shareholders' interest in the Company as a result of the Rights Issue, having considered (i) the Rights Issue offers the Qualifying Shareholders an opportunity to subscribe for their pro-rata Rights Shares for the purpose of maintaining their respective existing shareholding interests in the Company at a discounted price relative to the historical and prevailing market prices of the Shares; (ii) the Qualifying Shareholders have the opportunity to realise their nil-paid rights to subscribe for the Rights Shares in the market, subject to availability; (iii) the inherent potential dilutive nature of the Rights Issue in general; (iv) the Rights Issue would enhance the Group's liquidity, improve gearing ratio and strengthen the capital base of the Company for future expansion opportunities; and (v) debt financing or bank loans will incur further interest burden to the Company, we are of the view that the potential dilution effect on the shareholding interest of the Shareholders (who decide not to accept their assured entitlements in full as a result of the Rights Shares), is justifiable.

  1. Financial effects

It should be noted that the analysis below is for illustrative purpose only and does not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will be upon completion of the Rights Issue.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(i) Net tangible assets

As noted from the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group as set out in Appendix II to the Circular, assuming the completion of the Rights Issue had taken place on 30 September 2019, the unaudited pro forma adjusted consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to the Shareholders would have increased from approximately HK$6,753.6 million to approximately HK$7,166.1 million immediately after the completion of the Rights Issue. Such increase is attributable to the effect of the net proceeds from the Rights Issue.

The consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to owners of the Company per Share before the Rights Issue is approximately HK$8.69 (based on the latest published unaudited consolidated net tangible asset value of the Group attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$6,753.6 million as at 30 September 2019 and 776,911,981 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date). Immediately after completion of the Rights Issue, the total number of Shares would increase to 2,330,735,943 Shares (assuming no new Shares are issued (other than the Rights Shares) and no repurchase of Shares on or before the completion of the Rights Issue), the unaudited pro forma adjusted consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to owners of the Company per Share will decrease to approximately HK$3.07 per Share.

Such decrease in the consolidated net tangible assets per Share upon completion of the Rights Issue is inevitable because the Rights Shares will be issued at a discount to the net tangible assets per Share. Having considered the benefits of the Rights Issue as mentioned in this letter, and that all Qualifying Shareholders are offered the same opportunities to enjoy the benefit of subscribing the Rights Shares at the Subscription Price which is at a discount to the adjusted market price of the Shares, we consider such decrease in the unaudited consolidated net tangible assets per Share acceptable.

(ii) Gearing and liquidity

The gearing ratio of the Group as at 30 September 2019, being defined as net debt (representing total bank borrowings net of cash and cash equivalents) to shareholders' funds, was approximately 38.5%. Immediately upon completion of the Rights Issue, there would be an increase in the cash level of the Group and the Company would apply approximately 50.0% of the net proceeds of the Rights Issue (approximately HK$206.3 million) for the repayment of bank loans. Based on the enhanced cash position, expected decrease in total liabilities and enlarged capital base of the Group upon completion of the Rights Issue, the Group's gearing ratio and liquidity position is expected to be improved.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

RECOMMENDATION

Having taken into account the above principal factors and reasons, in particular the following (which should be read in conjunction with an interpreted in the full context of this letter):

  1. all Qualifying Shareholders are offered an equal opportunity to participate in the Rights Issue to maintain their proportionate interests in the Company and participate in the future growth and development of the Company;
  2. the background and rationale of the Rights Issue, including (a) the existing financial position of the Group, (b) the use of proceeds, (c) the fund-raising alternatives available to the Group;
  3. the Directors of the Company are not aware of any material changes in the financial or trading position or outlook of the Group since 30 September 2019; being the date of the Group's latest published consolidated financial results, and confirm that the Company does not have any inside information that is required to be disclosed under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong), and in such circumstance, the prevailing trading prices of the Company reflect the market valuation of the Company, and it is the normal market practice and reasonable to set the Subscription Price with reference to prevailing historical trading price of the Shares with a discount to enhance the attractiveness of the Rights Issue;
  4. the discounts of the Subscription Price to the closing price of the Shares on the Last Trading Day, five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day and ten consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day fall within the range of the Comparables and is close to the average discount of the Comparables; whereas the discounts of the Subscription Price to the theoretical ex-rights price fall within the range of the Comparables and is lower than the average discount of the Comparables;
  5. the principal terms of the Rights Issue, including the Subscription Price, were arrived at after arm's length negotiations between the parties to the Underwriting Agreement under the prevailing market conditions;
  6. the terms of the Rights issue and Underwriting Agreement are fair so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; and
  7. the effect on shareholding interests of the Shareholders and the financial effects of the Rights Issue,

we consider that the terms of the Rights Issue and the Underwriting Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned; and the Rights Issue and the Underwriting Agreement are in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Save as aforesaid or as otherwise disclosed herein, and apart from intra-group liabilities and normal trade payables in the normal course of business, as at the close of business on 31 December 2019, the Group did not have any loan capital issued and outstanding or agreed to be issued, bank overdrafts, loans or other similar indebtedness, liabilities under acceptances (other than normal trade bills) or acceptance credits, debentures, mortgages, charges, hire purchase commitments, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities.

3. WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors, after due and careful consideration, are of the opinion that, after taking into account the estimated net proceeds from the Rights Issue, its presently available financial resources, including funds internally generated from operation and the available facilities, the Group will have sufficient working capital for its operation for at least the next twelve months from the date of this circular.

4. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

The Directors confirm that there was no material adverse 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 financial statements of the Group were made up, up to and including the Latest Practicable Date.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECT OF THE GROUP

Looking forward to second half of 2019/20, the uncertainties surrounding the global economy are expected to linger on and consumer sentiments would become further softened. The Group's remains cautiously optimistic on the outlook of the textiles and garment industry. The Group will continue to leverage on its prominent market position, extensive client network and well-established production bases to respond to the ever-changing market.

During the first half of 2019/20, the global economy remained unstable while consumer sentiments remained sluggish. Uncertainties resulting from the trade war between the US and the PRC noticeably increased. The financial performance of the Group was inevitably affected by a decrease in orders from customers. For the six months ended 30 September 2019, the Group's unaudited consolidated revenue was approximately HK$2,572 million, representing a decrease of approximately 5.6% as compared to the previous corresponding period (1H2018 : HK$2,725 million).

With respect to the textile business, for the six months ended 30 September 2019, production and sale of knitted fabric and dyed yarn remained the major business segment of the Group, accounting for approximately 94.5% of the Group's consolidated revenue. Revenue for the textile segment was approximately HK$2,430 million, representing a slight decline of approximately 3.7% from the previous corresponding period (1H2018 : HK$2,524 million). For the six months ended 30 September 2019, cotton price recorded a downward trend which adversely affected the pricing of the Group's textile products. In addition, slowdown in order book particularly since second half of 2019 led to decrease in the

- I-2 -

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Group's revenue. On the other hand, upgrading of machineries and technology automation kept the utilisation of the production capacity at high level. Together with lean management and stringent cost controls, the Group managed to counterweight the product price adjustment. As a result, revenue of the textile segment dropped slightly by approximately 3.7% and gross profit margin decreased from 18.2% to 17.9% for the six months ended 30 September 2019.

With respect to the garment business, for the six months ended 30 September 2019, revenue of the garment business for the reporting period was approximately HK$141 million, with a decrease of approximately 29.4% from approximately HK$200 million in the same period last year. The decrease was mainly attributable to the further consolidation of clientele to focus on customers providing steady order flows and profit margin. Gross profit slightly decreased to approximately HK$27 million (1H2018 : HK$28 million). There was a net profit of approximately HK$312,000 as compared to a net loss of HK$17 million in the same period last year. The increase was mainly attributable to gain on fair value adjustment on investment properties and tax recovered upon disposal of a production facility in Indonesia in February 2019.

As mentioned in the previous announcements of the Company, the Group has planned to construct a fabric manufacturing plant in Bangladesh with a view to lowering the average manufacturing costs and risk diversification. The Expansion will be invested with a business partner who has over 20 years' experience in garment manufacturing with scaled operations in Bangladesh. As the date of this circular, the new joint venture has entered into agreement with relevant government authority for acquisition of land for the new production base. Construction of new production plant is expected to take place in or about February 2020. Fabric production is expected to commence in the second half of 2021. The expected monthly production capacity for fabric production will be approximately 2.5 million pounds. Preliminary assessment of the estimated capital expenditure for the Bangladesh plant is approximately HK$1,000 million.

In addition, as at 30 September 2019, the Group had total assets of approximately HK$12,673 million (31 March 2019 : HK$13,261 million) which were financed by current liabilities of approximately HK$3,560 million (31 March 2019 : HK$3,917 million), long term liabilities of approximately HK$2,335 million (31 March 2019 : HK$2,540 million) and shareholders' equity of approximately HK$6,754 million (31 March 2019 : HK$6,779 million). The current ratio was approximately 2.0 (31 March 2019 : 2.0) and the gearing ratio, being defined as net debt (representing by total bank borrowings net of cash and cash equivalents) to shareholders' funds, was approximately 38.5% (31 March 2019 : 39.5%). As at 30 September 2019, the Company recorded bank balances and cash of approximately HK$2,078 million (31 March 2019 : HK$2,455 million) and bank borrowings due within one year was approximately HK$2,421 million (31 March 2019 : HK$2,693 million). It is expected that there will be a further decrease of the Group's bank balances and cash upon repayment of the syndicated loan of approximately HK$300 million in both June 2020 and December 2020, and therefore the management of the Company considers it is a matter of prudent financial management and treasury policy that sufficient cash be maintained by the Group to repay its bank borrowings when they fall due.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

For further details, please refer to the paragraph headed ''Reasons for the Rights Issue and use of proceeds'' in the section headed ''Letter from the Board'' of this circular.

Looking ahead, the Group will continue to strengthen the competitiveness of its vertically integrated business foundation. In the backdrop of having a handful of market opportunities ahead, the Group will endeavor to achieve sustainability and stability of its business so as to secure the best interest of its Shareholders.

Looking forward, it is expected that the global economy will continue to be unstable and the consumer markets will remain soft. The US-PRC trade war has no direct business affection as the Group does not export finish products directly from the PRC to the US. However, the indirect and long term impact remain unseen. The US retailers continued to adopt a prudent procurement strategy in preparation for the global economic slowdown. The Group is determined to remain competent in fulfilling orders with high quality under tight schedules. The Group will continue to strengthen its competitive edge by effective allocation of resources to enhance its overall efficiency, focus on research and development of new and value-added products to improve profit margins and expand to new markets and regions to mitigate operation risks.
