On 30 March 2021, the Company as vendor and Fujian Province Xianyou County Jiuxian Cultural and Ecological Tourism Development Company Limited* (福建省仙游縣九仙 文化生態旅遊有限公司) as purchaser entered into an Assets Transfer Agreement.

Pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell and the Purchaser has agreed to acquire the Target Assets at a total consideration of HK$11 million.

ASSETS TRANSFER AGREEMENT

Details of the Assets Transfer Agreement are summarised as follows:

Date

30 March 2021

Parties

Vendor:

The Company

Purchaser:

Tourism Development Company Limited* (福建省仙游縣九仙文化生

Consideration and Payment Terms

The aggregate consideration for the Disposal under the Assets Transfer Agreement is HK$11 million, which was determined after arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Purchaser with reference to the aggregate acquisition costs of the Target Assets.

The consideration under the Assets Transfer Agreement shall be paid by the Purchaser as follows:

  1. HK$1.1 million shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Company within seven days upon the effective of the Assets Transfer Agreement; and
  2. HK$9.9 million shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Company within three months upon the effective of the Assets Transfer Agreement.

Having considered the potential benefits of the Disposal to the Group and the consideration is not lower than the original acquisition costs of the Target Assets, the Directors believe that the consideration is fair and reasonable.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE TERMINATION AND THE DISPOSAL

The Directors have been continuously assessing the Group's current business strategy, with the aim to enhance overall performance, prospects and attractiveness to market investors. Subsequent to the entering of the Tenancy Agreement and the Transfer Agreement in November 2019, the unexpected outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic had disrupted the market, production and supply chain across the globe and resulted in faster-than-expected economic contraction in certain major economies which unexpectedly reduced the demand of garment products. Moreover the extended quarantine measures and travel restriction measures to control COVID-19 pandemic made it difficult for the management of the Company, which are based in Hong Kong to effectively and efficiently manage the operation of the manufacturing in the PRC. Coupled with the continuous Sino-US trade disputes; there remains a significant degree of uncertainty over the global economic outlook, including the garment industry. Therefore, the Directors are of the view that the manufacturing of the garment products at this stage may not be able to generate a positive operating profit. Accordingly, instead of incurring costs in the manufacturing of the garment products, the Termination and the Disposal will enable the Company to realise its assets and to use the proceeds for development of its principal business activities. Based on the above, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Disposal are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL

The aggregate net book value of the Target Assets was approximately HK$9,867,000 million as at 28 February 2021. Based on the difference between the consideration for the Disposal and the net book value of the Targets Assets as mentioned above, the Group is expected to realise a gain of approximately (before taxation) approximately HK$1,133,000 million as a result of the Disposal.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The proceeds from the Disposal will be used for development of its existing garment sourcing business, the provision of financial services business and general working capital.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Disposal, exceed 5% but less than 25%, the Disposal constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under the Listing Rules.
