The Board of Directors of Incredible Holdings Ltd. (the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries the "Group") refer to its earlier announcement 18 October 2021 titled "THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF GOLDEN ULTRA LIMITED - ENTRY INTO SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT" (the "Earlier Announcement").

Unless otherwise defined, the capitalized words and phrases used herein shall have the same meanings as ascribed to them in the Earlier Announcement.

The Company has on 19 October 2021 received queries from the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the "Exchange") in relation to the Proposed Acquisition and the responses are provided below.

  1. The Target, Golden Ultra Limited, is a private company limited by shares in British Virgin Islands on 2 July 2021 and has an issued share capital of US$1,000 comprising 1,000 ordinary shares as at the date of this announcement. The Target is an investment holding company.
    The Target has a wholly-owned subsidiary, namely, CKLY Trading Limited ("CKLY"). CKLY is a private company limited by shares incorporated in Hong Kong on 14 May 2015 and has an issued share capital of HK$10,000 comprising 10,000 ordinary shares as at the date of this announcement. CKLY Trading Limited is principally in the business of trading of watches through the online platform known as www.bestwatch.com.hk, which provides various luxury watch brands for customers in Hong Kong and other countries.
    What is the reason for incorporating a BVI company (i.e. Golden Ultra Limited) to hold CKLY, just prior to the disposal of the Target to the Company?
    Company's Response:
    According to Mr Heilesen, incorporation of a BVI company is comparatively inexpensive as compared to other jurisdictions such as Hong Kong or Singapore. The restructure of the Target Group is to streamline the financial reporting in the organisation moving forward.
  2. The Consideration for Sale Shares shall be HK$84 million (equivalent to approximately S$14.6 million).
    The Target has been profitable for 5 years in a row, and with a positive and growing EBITDA. As a result of its omni-channel approach to watch retailing, they are able to sell to and attract customers through online means as well as for clients that walk-in at the shop/office level.

(b) Please disclose the location of the shop/office in Hong Kong.

Company's Response:

The location of the shop is suite at 4/F, Fontaine Building, 18 Mody Road, Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong.

  1. Please disclose the relevant website engagement metrics for the website (e.g. traffic, time spent on site, pages per visit, returning visitors, social sharing, bounce rate, etc, please include what is relevant for the page and business) for the past 5 years and how they compare to their competitors, given that the Target sells watches through the online platform.

Company's Response:

The website, www.bestwatch.com.hk, commenced in operation in 2019 and is one of the sales channel of CKLY. The requested information about traffic, time spent on site, pages per visit, returning visitors, social sharing, bounce rate etc are commercial and trade secret in nature. Further, it would be hard comparing the information to competitors as they are not commonly disclosed by competitors.

As disclosed in the announcement under section 7 of the Earlier Announcement, the Board is of the view that as a result of its omni-channel approach to watch retailing, they are able to sell and attract customers through online means as well as for clients that walk-in at the shop/office level.

3. According to the audited FS of CKLY, CKLY recorded a net profit after tax of approximately HK$3.4 million (equivalent to approximately S$0.6 million) for FY2020 and a net profit after tax of approximately HK$2.1 million (equivalent to approximately S$0.35 million) for FY2019.

The Company commissioned FT Consulting Limited ("Independent Valuer") to conduct a valuation on CKLY. According to the valuation report, the market value of CKLY, as at 30 June 2021, was HK$138,290,000 (equivalent to approximately S$24.1 million).

The Independent Valuer determined that the income approach was the most appropriate valuation approach as it takes the future revenue that can be obtained by taking the intangible asset of the Target Group into consideration. In particular, the discounted cash-flow method was used in the valuation.

The Consideration represents a premium of 44.62% or about HK$25.9 million (equivalent to approximately S$4.5 million) to the market value stated in the Valuation Report.

(a) What does "intangible asset of the Target Group" refer to? How is this measured or quantified?

Company's Response:

The intangible asset mainly refers to the website and customer relationships owned by CKLY. CKLY trades its luxury watches through its own established website, which is a key sales channel for CKLY to promote and sell the inventories

to customers. Besides, CKLY has also built good customer relationships with the existing clients, many of whom are returning customers and would refer new clients to CKLY.

As the main revenue of CKLY is generated through these intangible assets that cannot be efficiently measured through cost approach or market approach, the income approach was the most appropriate valuation approach for the valuation of the equity interest of CKLY. Accordingly, the value of intangible assets has been captured into the equity interest of CKLY via the financial projection provided by the CKLY's management, and the expected future cash flows are discounted back to the valuation date with an appropriate discount rate that reflects the business risk.

  1. Please provide the key assumptions in the Valuation Report, in particular, disclose the projected income/revenue/net profits included in the next 5 years as provided in the Valuation Report.

Company's Response:

In the first half of 2021, the sales has already reached 70% of the year-round sales in 2020. Considering the recovery of overall economy in next few years, the management are of opinion that the performance of annual sales will be better than historical performance.
  2. With the restriction of traveling during COVID-19, there is a growing tendency for customers to purchase the goods they want by the online platform. In China, there is around 56% of consumers prefer to choose digital channel to collect the information related to luxury watches. As predicted by Mckinsey & Company, the global online share of the watches market will increase from 5% to 12% in 2025. Therefore, the increasing demand in online luxury watches markets will be expected to boost the sales of the Target Company.
  3. The Target Company is mainly focused on Hong Kong market at present. In the future, the Target Company has planned to expand luxury watches online markets in mainland China, East Asia and Europe. With the expansion of the target market, the Target Company will be expected to achieve higher revenue growth in the future years, and then enter into a stable development stage.
  4. Once the Target Company realizes the expansion of the overseas market, the revenue is expected to experience a significant high growth. After taking above aspects into consideration, the management predicted that the annual revenue growth in the first two years will increase to around 38%, and then decrease to a stable level gradually.
