LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In accordance with HKFRS 16 "Leases", the Company recognises the value of the right-of-use assets on its consolidated statement of financial position in connection with the lease of the Premises under the Tenancy Agreement with effect from the beginning of its accounting period on 1 April 2019. Accordingly, the lease transaction under the Tenancy Agreement is regarded as an acquisition of assets by the Tenant (i.e. lessee) for the purpose of the Listing Rules.
As the Previous Acquisition Agreement and the Tenancy Agreement are entered into by the Group with the same party and expected to complete within a 12-month period of each other, the Previous Acquisition and the transaction contemplated under the Tenancy Agreement will be aggregated as a series of transactions pursuant to Rule 14.22 of the Listing Rules.
As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the value of the right-of-use of the Premises under the Tenancy Agreement, when aggregated with the Previous Acquisition, exceed 25% but are less than 100%, the transaction contemplated under the Tenancy Agreement constitutes a major transaction and is subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders' approval requirement under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
The Company has obtained written approval in accordance with Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules from Perfect Group, the controlling shareholder of the Company, which has beneficially interested in an aggregate of 233,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 67.76% of the entire issued capital of the Company as at the date of this circular. On the basis that (i) no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene an extraordinary general meeting for the approval of the transaction contemplated under the Tenancy Agreement; and (ii) the written approval of Perfect Group for the transaction contemplated under the Tenancy Agreement has been obtained, no extraordinary general meeting will be convened for the purpose of approving the transaction contemplated under the Tenancy Agreement as permitted under Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with further information regarding the transaction contemplated under the Tenancy Agreement.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD | |
Tenant: | Come Sure Packing Products (Shenzhen) Company Limited* |
(錦勝包裝(深圳)有限公司) | |
Premises: | The buildings, factories and staff quarters located at Block B, No. 23, |
Dongyi lane, Dadong Road, Dazhou Village, Qiaotou Town, Dongguan | |
City, the Guangdong Province, PRC*, (中國廣東省東莞市橋頭鎮大洲 | |
村大東路東一巷23 號B 區) w i t h a t o t a l c o n s t r u c t i o n a r e a o f | |
approximately 51,482 square metres. Immediately before the lease | |
transaction under the Tenancy Agreement, the Premises was used by the | |
Landlord as a production plant of the corrugated paperboard and | |
paper-based packaging products. The Premises are not, either standalone | |
or in aggregate with the Equipment, revenue-generating assets with an | |
identifiable income stream. | |
Usage: | The Tenant intends to use the Premises as staff quarters and the |
production plant of the corrugated paperboard and paper-based | |
packaging products. | |
Term: | 20 years commencing on 1 September 2020 or a later date as agreed by |
both parties in writing. | |
The rent payable: | RMB247,274,160 (equivalent to approximately HK$275,315,000) in |
aggregate for the term of 20 years (excluding VAT). | |
The monthly rents are as follows: | |
The rent for the first year to the fifth year is: | |
RMB17.50 per square metre per month, excluding VAT | |
The rent for the sixth year to the tenth year is: | |
RMB19.08 per square metre per month, excluding VAT | |
The rent for the eleventh year to the fifteenth year: | |
RMB20.80 per square metre per month, excluding VAT | |
The rent for the sixteenth year to the twentieth year is: | |
RMB22.67 per square metre per month, excluding VAT | |
The rent under the Tenancy Agreement is determined after arm's length | |
negotiations between the parties, after taking into consideration the | |
prevailing market price for comparable premises in the vicinity of the | |
Premises, which is in the range between RMB17 and RMB18 per square | |
metre per month. The amount of the rental payable increment throughout | |
the 20-year term is determined with reference to the factors such as past | |
inflation trends (in the range between about 2% and 3% p.a.). The Board | |
believes the rent payable throughout the 20-year term is fair and | |
reasonable after considered the above factors. |
* for identification purpose only | 5 |
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Payable term: | The rent shall be payable in advance on or before the tenth day of each | |
and every calendar month. | ||
Upfront payment: | A sum of RMB3,000,000 shall be paid by the Tenant to the Landlord | |
within seven days after entering into the Tenancy Agreement: | ||
(i) | RMB1,801,870 of which shall be regarded as deposit (refundable | |
after the lease term of the Tenancy Agreement); and | ||
(ii) | the remaining sum shall be regarded as the rent of the first month | |
and part of the second month paid by the Tenant to the Landlord. |
The value (unaudited) of the right-of-use asset recognised by the Company under the Tenancy Agreement amounted to approximately RMB105,585,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$117,558,000) which is the present value of total consideration payable throughout the lease term under the Tenancy Agreement and adjustment to fair value at initial recognition of refundable rental deposits in accordance with HKFRS 16. Incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") of 10.257% of the lease liability was determined using the build-up method based on the following formula:
IBR = Reference Rate + Spread Adjustment + Illiquidity Risk Premium
Below is the basis of the IBR of the lease liability adopted:
a) | Reference Rate (%) | 2.972 |
b) | Spread Adjustment (%) | 5.295 |
c) | Illiquidity Risk Premium (%) | 1.990 |
IBR (%) | 10.257 |
Notes:
- The reference rate was determined with reference to the China Sovereign Curve as extracted from Bloomberg using a matching maturity term of 10.469 years, which is the weighted average lease term that was calculated based on cash flows over the lease term of 20 years in accordance with the Tenancy Agreement. The weighted average lease term is the average maturity of the lease weighted with lease cash flows. It is a market standard approach according to "A guide to the incremental borrowing rate" issued by Deloitte AG. (Source: https://www2.deloitte.com/ch/en/ pages/audit/articles/guide-to-the-incremental-borrowing-rate.html)
- The spread adjustment is a combination of the financing spread adjustment and lease specific adjustment, representing the adjustments for the credit risk of the Tenant and the presence of the property under the lease liability respectively. It was concluded that the applicable credit rating should be "B" based on the financial information of the Tenant and the nature of the lease liability. The combined spread adjustment was calculated based on the yields of Standard and Poor's "B" rated senior unsecured fixed rate bonds in the United States as extracted from Bloomberg with matching maturity term of 10.469 years mentioned in note a.
- Because the Landlord does not have the intention to apply for the listing of the lease liability, an active market does not exist. Therefore, illiquidity risk premium of the lease liability was considered. It was determined with reference to "Bond Liquidity Estimation and the Liquidity Effect in Yield Spreads", written by Long Chen, David A. Lesmond and Jason Wei (Source: www.researchgate.net/publication/228614159_Bond_liquidity_estimation_and_ the_liquidity_effect_in_yield_spreads).
The IBR of 10.257% (shown above) was different from the IBR of 9.872%, which was adopted in the computation of the lease liability in relation to the tenancy agreement entered between Dongguan Manshengjia Shiye Investment Company Limited* (東莞巿滿盛佳實業投資有限公司) and Wah Ming Colour Printing (Shenzhen) Company Limited* (華銘彩印(深圳)有限公司) on 23 July 2020, was mainly due to the variation on lease terms of the tenancy agreements. The Tenancy Agreement entered on 10 August 2020 between the Landlord and the Tenant with a lease term of 20 years, while the aforesaid tenancy agreement are entered with a lease term of 10 years.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PREVIOUS ACQUISITION
The Equipment to be acquired under Previous Acquisition Agreement are currently located in the Premises and mainly for the purpose of ensuring smooth operation and enhancing the production capacity. As certain assets and machineries currently utilised in the Group's business operations have been used for over 20 years, the Director consider that the Equipment (which are newer and with more updated versions) would be beneficial to the Group in the long-term by assuring smooth production and improving the overall operating efficiency. The consideration of the Previous Acquisition was determined after arm's length negotiations between the parties to the Previous Acquisition Agreement, having taken into account the valuation of the Equipment in the amount of RMB24,804,820 as at 8 June 2020 as assessed by an independent valuer appointed by the Company by using the replacement cost method to evaluate the Equipment with referencing to the prevailing market value of similar type of assets and machinery minus their depreciation costs.
Having considered above, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Previous Acquisition Agreement are fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
INFORMATION OF THE TENANT, THE COMPANY AND THE GROUP
The Tenant is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and its principal activities include the trading and manufacturing of corrugated paperboards and paper-based packaging products in the PRC.
The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The Group is principally engaged in the manufacturing and sale of corrugated paperboards and paper-based packaging products to customers which are manufacturers with production base in the PRC for approximately 20 years.

INFORMATION OF THE LANDLORD
Dongguan City Ruixing Paper Products Company Limited* (東莞市瑞興紙製品有限公司) is the Landlord of the Premises. The Landlord is principally engaged in the sale and production of paper products, printed packaging products and other printed products in the PRC.
Based on the information provided by the Landlord, the Landlord is owned as to 50% by Ye Yuanxin (葉遠新) and as to 50% by Chen Ruiling (陳瑞玲).
To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors and having made all reasonable enquiries, the Landlord and its ultimate beneficial owners are Independent Third Parties.
REASONS OF AND BENEFITS FOR THE TENANCY AGREEMENT
The Tenant is principally engaged in the trading and manufacturing of corrugated paperboards and paper-based packaging products in the PRC.
Due to the change in laws and regulations in the PRC which require manufacturers to improve their production facilities for meeting environmental protection requirements, there has been a decline of the number of smaller manufacturers in the corrugated paperboards and paper-based packaging products market. As such, the Group plans to seize this opportunity to increase its market share. As the Tenant is approaching its maximum utilization rate of its production facilities, the Tenant has an imminent need for expansion of its production facilities besides utilising its existing production facilities. The Directors consider the Premises is able to meet the relevant environmental protection requirements and that the location and size of the Premises are suitable for the operations of the production facilities.
As such, after taking into account of the administrative and renovation costs, the Tenant entered into the Tenancy Agreement with the Landlord for the proposed lease of the Premises. The Tenant intends to use the Premises as staff quarters and the production plant of the corrugated paperboards and paper-based packaging products.
In light of the reasons stated above, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Tenancy Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms after arm's length negotiations, are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE TENANCY AGREEMENT AND PREVIOUS ACQUISITION AGREEMENT
It is expected that upon the completion of the transaction contemplated under the Tenancy Agreement, there will be an increase in total assets of approximately HK$114,505,000, comprising an increase in right-of-use assets of approximately HK$117,558,000, increase in deposits of approximately HK$287,000 and netted-off by a decrease in bank balances and cash of approximately HK$3,340,000. There will an increase in total liabilities in respect of lease liabilities of approximately HK$114,505,000, netted-off by rental in advance included in down payment of approximately HK$1,334,000. The Group expects the transaction contemplated under the Tenancy Agreement will increase the annual depreciation charges of right-of-use assets by approximately HK$5,878,000 and finance costs in relation to the lease liability by approximately HK$10,259,000 in the first year of Tenancy Agreement.
It is expected that upon the completion of the transaction contemplated under the Previous Acquisition Agreement in relation to the Previous Acquisition, there will be an increase in property, plant and equipment of approximately HK$23,849,000 and decrease of bank and cash balances of approximately HK$23,849,000.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES
In accordance with HKFRS 16 "Leases", with effect from the beginning of its accounting period on 1 April 2019, the Company recognises the value of the right-of-use assets on its consolidated statement of financial position in connection with the entering into the lease transaction by the Company as a lessee. Accordingly, the lease transaction under the Tenancy Agreement is regarded as an acquisition of assets by the Tenant (i.e. lessee) for the purpose of the Listing Rules.
As the Previous Acquisition Agreement and the Tenancy Agreement are entered into by the Group with the same party and expected to complete within a 12-month period of each other, the Previous Acquisition and the transaction contemplated under the Tenancy Agreement will be aggregated as a series of transactions pursuant to Rule 14.22 of the Listing Rules.
As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the value of the right-of-use of the Premises under the Tenancy Agreement, when aggregated with the Previous Acquisition, exceed 25% but are less than 100%, the transaction contemplated under the Tenancy Agreement constitutes a major transaction and is subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders' approval requirement under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
The Company has obtained written approval in accordance with Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules from Perfect Group, the controlling shareholder of the Company, which has beneficially interested in an aggregate of 233,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 67.76% of the entire issued capital of the Company as at the date of this circular.

6. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP
In addition to the persisting Trade War tensions, the spreading of novel coronavirus pandemic across Europe, the United Stated of America and other countries is expected to threaten the prosperity globally, dragging down the volume of retail sales orders from overseas in general. With the Group's strong reputation built in the PRC's corrugated paperboard and paper-based packaging industry, the Group will carry on its forward-looking strategy of strengthening domestic business development and striving for extensive sales orders from customers engaging in business in China, in order to offset certain effects of weakened exporting sales and ensure its business sustainability in the years ahead.

APPENDIX I | FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP |
Despite the unfavourable business environment, quarantine measures for novel coronavirus pandemic has been driving another surge in e-commerce traffic as consumers prefer safe and hygienic online shopping experience, boosting the demand for quality and eco-friendly packaging for e-commerce transportation and delivery services. The Group will continue to explore these growth and business opportunities, especially from the domestic market in the PRC. Meanwhile, the Group is planning to expand its production area by adding production lines in Huidong Plant in Guangdong Province, which is located in the rapidly developing Greater Bay Area. The Group aims to achieve sufficient capacity to capture the foreseeable customer demands from Greater Bay Area and surrounding areas, thereby reinforcing its market leadership in the paper packaging industry in the PRC.
In response to the adverse impact on the Group's profitability resulted from the external business environment and market conditions during the last financial year, the Group has always been aware of its approaches for effective internal management, including the cost control and corporate governance. Meanwhile, the Group will keep up the collaborative relationship with existing suppliers to purchase raw materials from overseas and continue its diversified sourcing strategy to assure stable and quality supply at reasonable cost. In face of the increasing uncertainties from the external environment in the coming years, the Group will continue to stay alert to the development of its existing investment properties and carry out its investment decisions cautiously, with a view to create sustainable and optimal returns to shareholders in long term.

APPENDIX II UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ENLARGED GROUP
- The amounts have been extracted from the audited consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2020, without adjustment, as set out in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2020 published on the website of HKEX and the Company.
- As at 24 June 2020, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement with the Landlord of the Tenancy Agreement, to purchase the Equipment at a total consideration of RMB21,880,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$23,849,200). Details referred to the announcement issued by the Company dated 24 June 2020.
-
The estimated measurement of the present value of the lease liabilities was based on the independent valuation report prepared by an independent professional qualified valuer, Roma Appraisals Limited. A sum of RMB3,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$3,340,000) shall be paid by the Company to the Landlord after entering into the Tenancy Agreement that RMB1,801,870 (equivalent to approximately HK$2,006,000) of which shall be regarded as deposit and the remaining sum of RMB1,198,130 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,334,000) shall be regarded as the rent of the first month and part of the second month paid by the Company to the Landlord which is deducted in lease liabilities upon payment. The value (unaudited) of the right-of-use asset recognised by the Company under the Tenancy Agreement amounted to approximately RMB105,585,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$117,558,000) which is the present value of total consideration payable of RMB104,041,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$115,839,000) throughout the lease term under the Tenancy Agreement and adjustment to fair value at initial recognition of refundable rental deposits of approximately RMB1,544,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,719,000) in accordance with HKFRS 16. Incremental borrowing rate of 10.257% is applied to compute the present value of total consideration payable under the Tenancy Agreement.
For the purpose of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, the Company's management considers that there is no impairment indicator as at 31 March 2020 in respect of the right-of-use assets in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 36 "Impairment of Assets" ("HKAS 36"). The Directors confirmed that they will assess impairment of right-of-use assets in subsequent reporting periods in accordance with the requirements of HKAS 36 if there is any impairment indicator. - Save as the Previous Acquisition and the Tenancy Agreement, the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities in this Appendix does not take into account any trading results or other transactions of the Group subsequent to 31 March 2020.
- The Group expects that the lease transaction under the Tenancy Agreement will increase the annual depreciation charges of right-of-use assets by approximately HK$5,878,000 and the finance costs in relation to the lease liabilities by approximately HK$10,259,000 in the first year of the Tenancy Agreement.

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of unaudited pro forma financial information of Come Sure Group (Holdings) Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group") by the directors of the Company (the "Directors") for illustrative purposes only.

The applicable criteria on the basis of which the Directors have compiled the unaudited pro forma financial information are described in Appendix II of the circular issued by the Company dated 23 September 2020.
The unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the tenancy agreement signed by Come Sure Group (Holdings) Limited (the "Tenancy Agreement") on the Group's financial position as at 31 March 2020 as if the transaction had taken place at 31 March 2020. As part of this process, information about the Group's financial position has been extracted by the Directors from the Group's consolidated financial statements as included in the annual report for the year ended 31 March 2020, which was published on 30 July 2020.

Reporting Accountant's Responsibilities
Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the unaudited pro forma financial information and to report our opinion to you.

- The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and
- The unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.
The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant's judgement, having regard to the reporting accountant's understanding of the nature of the Group, the event or transaction in respect of which the unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.
The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the unaudited pro forma financial information.
