(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)

(Stock Code: 8213) ANNUAL RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2017 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET ("GEM") OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE "STOCK EXCHANGE") GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors. Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

Notes:

  1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
    1. Compliance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards

      These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs"), which collective term includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards ("HKAS") and Interpretations ("HK(IFRIC) - Int") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA"), accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. These consolidated financial statements also comply with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the GEM of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "GEM Listing Rules").

    2. Initial application of HKFRSs

      In the current year, the Group initially applied the following new and revised HKFRSs :- Amendments to HKAS 1 Disclosure Initiative

      Amendments to HKAS 16 and HKAS 38

      Amendments to HKAS 16 and HKAS 41

      Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization

      Bearer Plants

      Amendments to HKAS 27 Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements

      Amendments to HKAS 28, HKFRS 10 and HKFRS 12

      Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception

      Amendments to HKFRS 11 Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations HKFRS 14 Regulation Deferral Accounts

      Annual Improvements (2012-2014) Amendments to HKFRS 5, HKFRS 7 and HKAS 19

      The initial application of these new and revised HKFRSs have no significant impact in the current year financial information and did not necessitate retrospective adjustments of the comparatives presented in the consolidated financial statements.

    3. HKFRSs in issue but not yet effective

      The following HKFRSs in issue at 31 March 2017 have not been applied in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year then ended since they were not yet effective for the annual period beginning on 1 April 2016:-

      HKFRS 9 (2014) Financial Instruments2

      HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers2

      HKFRS 16 Leases3

      Amendments to HKAS 7 Disclosure Initiative1

      Amendments to HKAS 12 Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses1

      Amendments to HKAS 28 and HKFRS 10

      Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture5

      Amendments to HKFRS 2 Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions2

      Amendments to HKFRS 4 Applying HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments with HKFRS 4

      Insurance Contracts2

      Annual Improvements (2014-2016) Amendments to HKFRS 1, HKFRS 12 and HKAS 284

      1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2017

      2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2018

      3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2019

      4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2017 or 1 April 2018, as appropriate

      5 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after a date to be determined

      The Group is in the process of making an assessment of what the impact of these standards and amendments is expected to be in the period of initial application. So far it has concluded that the adoption of them is unlikely to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

    4. Adoption of the going concern basis

      When preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Group's ability to continue as a going concern has been assessed. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Directors on going concern basis notwithstanding that the Group incurred a loss of HK$47,740,000 for the year ended 31 March 2017 and as of that date, the Group had net current liabilities and net liabilities of HK$112,329,000 and HK$48,744,000 respectively as the Directors considered that:-

      1. Mr. Tang Sing Ming Sherman ("Mr. Tang"), who is the sole beneficial owner of the convertible bonds issued by the Company in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of HK$40,000,000 and provided loans to the Group of HK$107,101,000 as at 31 March 2017, will provide continuing financial support to the Group;

      2. After the completion of the mandatory unconditional cash offers on 4 November 2016, Mr. Chan Kin Chun Victor ("Mr. Chan"), became the controlling shareholder of the Company and will provide continuing financial support to the Group; and

      3. Upon completion of the rights issue took place on 14 June 2017, the Company raised approximately HK$100 million, before expenses, by way of allotting and issuing 1,388,725,000 rights shares at the subscription price of HK$0.072 per rights shares, on the basis of one (1) rights shares for every two

        (2) existing shares held on 19 May 2017.

        After taking into consideration of above factors, the Directors are satisfied that the Group will have sufficient financial resources to meet its financial obligations as they fall due in the foreseeable future and consider that it is appropriate for the consolidated financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis since there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt upon the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

      4. REVENUE
      5. Revenue represents invoiced value recognized in respect of provision of food and beverage services, net of discounts and business tax or value-added tax, during the year. An analysis of the revenue recorded for the year is set out below:-

        2. The Company's subsidiaries incorporated/established in Hong Kong, the People's Republic of China ("PRC") and Taiwan are subject to Hong Kong Profits Tax, PRC Enterprise Income Tax and Taiwan Profit- Seeking-Enterprise Income Tax at the rates of 16.5%, 25% and 17% respectively (2016: Hong Kong - 16.5%, PRC - 25%, Taiwan - 17% and Japan - 15% respectively).

        6. LOSS PER SHARE

        The calculation of basic loss per share is based on the loss attributable to owners of the Company of HK$47,333,000 (2016: HK$38,705,000) and the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 3,359,819,000 (2016: 3,021,481,000 ordinary shares) in issue during the year ended 31 March 2017.

        The weighted average number of ordinary shares adopted in calculation of basic loss per share for the year ended 31 March 2017 have been adjusted after taking into account of the rights issue which was completed on 14 June 2017 and prior year comparative had been restated for such effect. The weighted average number of ordinary shares for the year ended 31 March 2016 had also been adjusted to reflect the impact of the share options exercised and conversion of convertible bond effected during that year.
