PRODUCTS

For management purposes, during the financial year the Group was organized into business units based on

their business activities, and has five reportable operating segments producing the following products:

1) TPR shoe soles

TPR shoe soles are a physical mix of polymers, usually a rubber and a plastic. It combines

the functional properties of rubber and the easy processability, mouldability and recyclability

of thermoplastics. TPR-based sports shoe soles are lightweight, durable, and flexible and

provide good traction even under cold conditions.

2) RB shoe soles

Natural and synthetic rubbers are used in the production of RB shoe soles. They are highly

resistant to wear and tear, possess the highest tensile strength, provide good traction and is

waterproof and weatherproof. However, they provide less dimensional stability, cushioning

and shock-absorption capabilities.

3) MD1 shoe soles

The main components of MD1 shoe soles are ethylene vinyl acetate (“EVA”) and rubber.

EVA-based sports-shoe soles are lightweight, soft, flexible, elastic, resistant to wear and

tear, and are dimensionally stable with adequate cushioning, thus serve as an excellent

shock-absorber in sports shoe soles.

4) MD2 shoe soles

The main components of MD 2 shoe soles are similar to MD 1 shoe soles, but are produced

using a distinct production process with equipment that are technologically more advanced

than MD1 shoe soles and as such, has greater variability in designs and improved quality

control.

5) Apparels and accessories

The main component is men’s fashion wear and accessories.

NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS STATEMENT We, the non-executive Directors of Multi Sports Holdings Limited (the Company) recently appointed by the shareholders of the Company on 4 October 2016 at a Special General Meeting (the new Directors) wish to make the following statement in relation to the 2015 Audited Accounts:

1. This 2015 Annual Report is being released 22 months after the end of the financial year. As the shareholders will be aware, the previous 22 months have been a tumultuous period for the Company, having seen the resignation of directors and advisors; the auditors being unable to carry out confirmations of the Company’s cash bank balances in China; the Company’s suspension by Bursa Malaysia for failure to release the 2015 accounts; potential de-listing of the Company; and Bursa enforcement action against the Company including a public reprimand, and the imposition of fines of RM1,656,000 each on Lin Houzhi and Lin Liying, the Executive Directors in China.

2. We appreciate that Shareholders are impatient for a full explanation and seek accountability. The release of this 2015 Annual Report is a significant step towards regularization of the Company however there is much work to be done and the process of investigating and unravelling what transpired in China has to be completed.

3. The Auditors have given a disclaimer of opinion in their report on the 2015 Audit highlighting the uncertainties summarized below:

I. Property, plant and equipment and land use rights - Inability to contact management of Jinjiang Baixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd (“Baixing”), Fujian Evidoma Ltd (“Evidoma”), Fujian Qingte Investment Ltd (“Qingte”) and Quanzhou Sente Trading Ltd (“Sente”) (“subsidiaries”) (entities which held the Group’s property, plant and equipment and land use rights) to audit the existence and control of these rights; determine their continued recognition as assets; or the recoverable amount of or allowance for impairment.

II. Subsidiaries - Inability to contact the management of subsidiaries to determine whether the Company had control over those subsidiaries or ascertain the ownership and recoverable amount of those subsidiaries or to complete the audit on the subsidiaries.

III. Inventories - Inability to obtain appropriate supporting evidence from Baixing and Evidoma (entities which held the Group’s inventories) since end of April 2016 or ascertain whether the Group still had ownership of those inventories.

IV. Trade and other receivables - Inability to obtain sufficient audit evidence to test samples of trade and other receivable or to perform alternative procedures to test the existence and recoverability of those samples.

V. Cash and cash equivalents - Inability to perform audit procedures on cash and cash equivalents in China in order to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence as to the existence of the bank balances in the current account amounting to RMB 496,480,000 as at 31 December 2015.

VI. Trade and other payables - The Group reported trade and other payables of RMB 88,917,000 which represented 87% of total liabilities. The Auditors had selected samples of creditors and circularised confirmations but did not receive reasonable assurance over the completeness of those creditor balances.

VII. Borrowings - Inability to carry out audit procedures to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine the existence, quantum and completeness of the bank borrowings, which amounted to RMB 11,500,000 as 31 December 2015.

VIII. Tax provision - In view of the above, the auditors were unable to determine the consequential tax impact arising from any necessary adjustments and the appropriateness / completeness of disclosures made in the financial statements.

IX. Advertising expenses - During the financial year ended 31 December 2015, Fujian Evidoma Ltd, a subsidiary of the Company, incurred Advertising and Promotion Expenses of RMB 34,980,000 for which the Auditors were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to allow the Auditors to determine the effect of adjustments, if any, on the financial statements of the Group.

X. Loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment - The amount of loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment was approximately RMB 3,062,000 during the financial year however the Auditors were unable to ascertain or obtain reasonable assurance over the completeness of those transactions.

XI. Litigation - The Auditors were informed by the new non-executive Directors that legal claims appear to have been brought by certain parties against Jinjiang Baixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd Lin Huo Zhi and Lin Liying (the Executive Directors of the Company). Since the new board of Directors have not completed their investigations and are currently unable to provide the required information and comprehensive legal advice, the Auditors are unable to assess the completeness of all legal cases, extent of liabilities, including contingent liabilities that may arise.

XII. Going Concern - The issues raised above indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s and Company’s ability to continue as going concerns and due to the Auditor’s inability to contact the management of the subsidiaries, they were unable to determine whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate.

XIII. Events occurring after the reporting period - Inability to complete all their audit procedures for events occurring after the reporting period necessary to determine whether all significant events occurring after the reporting period had been adequately dealt with in the financial statements with respect to disclosures, presentation and adjusting subsequent events.

XIV. Risk due to fraud - Inability to obtain disclosure from management of the subsidiaries regarding the results of their assessment of the risk that the financial statements may be materially misstated as a result of fraud.

XV. Internal Control - Inability to obtain sufficient assurance that there are no material weaknesses in the system of internal accounting controls or that there is no risk that the financial statements may be materially misstated as a result of fraud.

4. In the circumstances, we wholly support their decision and are grateful for their assistance in identifying key issues for further action and investigation.

5. We have been faced with the same obstacles as the Auditors in terms of accessing and verifying information and as explained below, have also been unable to express an unqualified opinion on the financial statements, which were prepared and submitted to the Auditors for audit by the Board in office during the financial year.

Background to appointment

6. On 4 October, 2016, six new non-executive directors were appointed by the shareholders of the Company at a specially convened general meeting and given a mandate to carry out an independent investigation of the Company’s and group’s affairs.

7. The move to appoint new Malaysian directors was due to the failure of the then board of directors to release the 2015 audited accounts, leading to the suspension of the shares from the main board of the Malaysian Stock Exchange.

8. Shareholders were concerned by the auditor’s inability to confirm the company’s substantial bank balances in China (amongst other items) and resignation of directors/advisors in 2015 and early 2016, including two Malaysian Independent Directors, the CFO, the Company Secretary in Malaysia and the agent in Bermuda.

Status of Company upon appointment

9. Multi Sports Holdings Limited (the Company) is a Bermuda registered holding Company with agents in Bermuda; subsidiaries in Hong Kong and China with a separate company secretary; auditors in China; auditors in Singapore for the holding company, Legal Representative in China, company secretary in Malaysia; and regulators in Malaysia where the company is listed. Our attempt to exercise control over the Company and secure the cooperation of relevant parties has been marked by delays and continues to be challenging till today.

10. When the new directors took office, they found that the Company did not have an operational office or staff in Malaysia and as such, the new directors have had to operate independently and without access to management / administrative support or to Company funding. The new Directors and the Auditors of the Company have also not been able to establish proper communications with the Chairman, the CEO and other key management of the Company.

11. The Company also faced delisting by Bursa Malaysia for the failure to release the 2015 annual report, which had already led to the Company’s suspension.

12. We found that both the Company’s Auditor and Secretary in Bermuda had outstanding fees owing to them:

12.1. Although the Auditor met with and assisted the new directors with information and documents, the outstanding fees owed to the Auditor prevented the new directors from recommencing work to finalise the accounts. It was not until 8 September 2017 that the new directors were able to agree and secure funds for a settlement of fees due to the Auditor to allow works to continue.

12.2. The resignation of the previous secretary in Bermuda and the outstanding fees owed to them prevented the appointment of a new secretary in Bermuda and in order to start the regularization of the Company, the new directors dealt directly with the Company Registry in Bermuda as the Company also had outstanding registration fees due to the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda.

13. The Company’s finances in China were under the control of Lin Liying and Lin Houzhi, both of whom would or should have known that the failure to make the abovementioned payments and release the accounts would risk causing the Company to be delisted or de-registered.

14. The Chairman did not respond to the Auditors and our requests for a meeting and the CEO refused to discuss the audit issues or facilitate the confirmations required by the auditors on the basis that there was no point because the company was going to be delisted.

Ongoing Investigations

15. Investigations into the Company’s affairs are ongoing and it is not appropriate to report on them until confirmed and complete. Information regarding legal action taken against the operating subsidiaries in China has however been published in China and it is appropriate to relate this information to Malaysian shareholders - The following is a list of legal action in China stated to involve the main subsidiary Jinjian Baixing as a defendant, as published on a Government of the People’s Republic of China website: http://zhixing.court.gov.cn/search/; and or on Openlaw.cn a non-governmental , open source Chinese case law database.

Postponement of De-listing

16. On 4 July 2017 Bursa Malaysia served a notice to show cause against de-listing of the Company from the Main Board of the Malaysian Stock Exchange for failure to submit the 2015 Audited accounts and the subsequent quarterly financial reports. The 2015 financial statements had already been submitted to the auditors by the board in office during that financial year and the draft audit had been prepared.

17. The new Directors secured a postponement of delisting for six months subject to the release of this 2015 audited accounts by 9 October 2017 and all other outstanding financial statements (other than the AR 2015) on or before 28 February 2018.

18. The new Directors had prior to the postponement being granted, informed Bursa Malaysia that the 2015 accounts would need to be heavily qualified or disclaimed due to the circumstances as outlined in the Auditors’ Report and also that the investigations and action that needed to be completed in respect of the subsidiaries in China would only be able to be carried out after the period allowed for the submission of the 2015 Annual Report.

19. To comply with the conditions for postponement of de-listing, the new Directors re-engaged the Auditors, RT LLP in Singapore to complete the 2015 Audit that already been prepared in draft form under the previous board.

20. Due to the circumstances stated above and our inability to review and independently test the financial information prepared by the previous management under the control of Lin Liying and Lin Houzhi and submitted to the Company’s auditors for auditing, the new non-executive Directors are unable to express an unqualified opinion on this report.

Going Forward

21. Given the circumstances faced by the new Directors and the limited resources available, a key priority has been to focus on releasing the 2015 accounts to prevent the Company’s delisting from Bursa and to regularize and maintain the Company’s registration in Bermuda.

22. With the release of the 2015 Annual Report, the new Directors can now focus on completing the investigation and regularization in China and reporting to the authorities so that action can be taken as appropriate; and the regularization and restructuring of the Company necessary to maintain its Bursa Listing for the benefit of the Shareholders.

Inability to provide Statement on Company’s affairs

For reasons stated above and due to the inability to gain access to the Executive Chairman, Directors and

former officers of the Company and the books and records of the Company, the newly appointed Non-

Executive Board of Directors are unable to express an opinion on this report which was prepared based on

financial statements and information prepared under the control of the previous board and submitted to the

Company’s auditors for auditing.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT The new Directors of Multi Sports recognise the importance of good corporate governance in running the operations of the Group and in all of its dealings and are mindful of the trust and expectations placed upon their shoulders by the shareholders and stakeholders. In fulfilling the respective fiduciary duties, the principles of transparency, integrity and professionalism should rightfully be incorporated into all levels of the Group’s corporate hierarchy. In view of the failure by the Executive Directors and former Independent Directors of the Group to release the 2015 Audited Accounts, shareholders of the Company appointed 6 new Independent Directors at a specially convened shareholders meeting on 4 October, 2016. The appointment of the new Independent Directors was to safeguard the interest of shareholders and ensure proper governance. The newly appointed Board of Directors have taken steps to comply with the best practices of principles of good corporate governance as set out in the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2012 (the “Code”) and the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad but realistically, the objective will only be possible once the investigation and regularisation of the Company is completed so that there can be application of the code in substance throughout the Company/Group as opposed to being applied in form only. It is with this mandate in mind that the present Board of Directors hereby reports its findings to the shareholders on the manner of application of these principles contained in the Code to the best of its ability and with the limited information available on hand for the financial year ended in this report: 1. Establish Clear Roles and Responsibilities 1.1 Clear Functions of the Board and Management

The Board of Directors who are signing off on these accounts were appointed on 4 October, 2016 and did not have any responsibility for the Group’s overall strategy, growth and direction including its financial performance as well as management supervision during the financial period reported in these accounts. Attempts by the Company’s auditors to contact the Executive Directors and the Management have been futile. Repeated requests by the newly appointed Board of Directors to meet with the Chairman and CEO have been unsuccessful. For the financial year ended 31 December, 2015 as reported in these accounts, the Board was led by an Executive Chairman while executive management of the Company was ledby the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The Executive Chairman was responsible for running the Board and should have ensured that all Directors receive sufficient relevant information on financial and non-financial matters to enable them to participate actively in Board decisions and in fulfilling its responsibilities to the stakeholders. The CEO’s role was to oversee the day-to-day operations and implementation of the Board’s corporate and operational policies and strategies. In line with the pre-determined authority levels, certain issues such as approval of interim and annual results, significant acquisitions and disposals, long-term planning and major capital expenditure were subject to collective decision by the Board. The Directors should have met, reviewed and approved all corporate announcements before releasing them to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad and Taiwan Stock Exchange. The previous Board had established three (3) committees namely Audit Committee, Nomination Committee and Remuneration Committee. Certain responsibilities are delegated to the Audit Committee which operates within clearly defined parameters as set out in the Audit Committee’s Terms of Reference. This was for an added degree of independence and objectivity on matters within the ambit of the Audit Committee.

A risk profile has been compiled to help the Board and senior management to prioritise their focus on high risks. Significant risk matters are brought to the attention of the Directors.

The Company supports the Code’s recommendation of encouraging shareholder participation in general meetings. In this respect, notice of AGM and the annual report are disseminated to the shareholders at least twenty-one (21) days before the date of the AGM. In addition, notice of AGM is further enhanced to include all relevant information in regard to the shareholders’ rights at the said general meeting. Any special business items within the agenda for the AGM would be accompanied by an explanatory statement in order for the shareholders to have a better understanding of the issues involved and thereby, better evaluation and decision-making. For certain business/corporate proposals where shareholders’ approval is required, circulars are sent to shareholders within the prescribed timeframe in compliance with the regulatory and statutory provisions. These circulars provide the necessary details and are sufficiently comprehensive to enable shareholders to arrive at an informed decision on the proposals to be tabled at the AGM/Special General Meeting (“SGM”). The Board of Directors did not convene an AGM for the financial year ended 31 December, 2015 as at to date. During the AGM/SGM, shareholders would have the opportunity to seek clarifications pertaining to the Group or to request for information regarding operations, business activities, developments and direction of the Group. Any queries raised would be attended to by the Board and members of senior management would be at hand to provide the necessary information. Furthermore, Recommendation 8.2 of the Code recommends that the Board should encourage poll voting for substantive resolutions. The Board is of the view that with the current level of shareholders’ attendance at AGMs, voting by way of a show of hands continues to be efficient. The Board will evaluate the feasibility of carrying out electronic polling at its general meetings in future. 9. COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODE The newly appointed Board of Directors are unable to verify or confirm if Multi Sports was substantially in compliance with the principles and recommendations of the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2012 throughout the financial year ended 31 December 2015 due to the lack information and co-operation of the Executive Directors.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MULTI SPORTS HOLDINGS LTD

Report on the financial statements

We were engaged to audit the financial statements of Multi Sports Holdings Ltd (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the statements of financial position of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2015, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows of the Group for the financial year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements and the statement of financial position of the Company that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). The directors are also responsible for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Because of the matters described in the Bases for Disclaimer of opinion paragraphs, however, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.

Bases for Disclaimer of Opinion

1. Property, plant and equipment and land use rights

As at 31 December 2015, the Group’s carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment and land use rights amounted to RMB 290,197,000 and RMB 642,000 respectively, which collectively represented 29% of total assets. Since end of April 2016, we have not been able to contact management of JinjiangBaixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd (“Baixing”), Fujian Evidoma Ltd (“Evidoma”), Fujian Qingte Investment Ltd (“Qingte”) and Quanzhou Sente Trading Ltd (“Sente”) (entities which held the Group’s property, plant and equipment and land use rights) to perform additional audit procedures on the existence of these property, plant and equipment and land use rights and whether the Group still had control over those assets. Existence and control over property, plant and equipment and land use rights are critical to the determination of whether the Group can derive economic benefits from those assets. Accordingly, we were unable to determine whether property, plant and equipment and land use rights should continue to be recognised as assets.

In addition, management has also not determined the recoverable amount of, nor assessed for any allowance for impairment of property, plant and equipment and land use rights. Consequently, we were unable to perform alternative audit procedures to assess the appropriateness of the carrying amounts of the property, plant and equipment and land use rights.

2. Subsidiaries

i) Investment in subsidiaries

Since end of April 2016, we have not been able to establish contact with the management of Baixing, Evidoma, Qingte and Sente and therefore were not able to determine whether the Company had control over those subsidiaries. Accordingly, we were not able to ascertain the ownership and recoverable amount of those subsidiaries.

As disclosed in Note 6 to the financial statements, the audit of the subsidiary companies, namely Pak Sing Shoe Material (H.K) Limited, Jinjiang Baixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd, Fujian Evidoma Ltd, Fujian Qingte Investment Ltd and Quanzhou SenteTrading Ltd (collectively “subsidiaries”) was unable to be completed due to insufficient documents and information, and no audited financial statements being available for the financial year ended 31 December 2015. The financial position and results of these subsidiary companies had been consolidated based on the latest available management financial statements received by us from the Executive Directors.

Bases for Disclaimer of Opinion

2. Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

i) Investment in subsidiaries (Cont’d)

We were unable to carry out procedures or to obtain information we consider necessary on the management financial statements of these subsidiary companies during our audit of the financial statements of the Group. Therefore, we could not determine the effect of adjustments, if any, on the financial statements of the Group.

The Company’s carrying amount of amount due from a subsidiary as at 31 December 2015 amounted to RMB 36,845,000. As disclosed in Note 8 to the financial statements, the Company has not determined the recoverable amount of, nor assessed for any allowance for amount due from a subsidiary as at 31 December 2015. Consequently, we were unable to perform any alternative audit procedures to assess the appropriateness of the carrying amount of the amount due from a subsidiary.

As disclosed in Note 6to the financial statements, included in carrying amount of investment in subsidiary companies is an amount of RMB 103,465,000 representing the investment cost in Pak Sing Shoe Material (H.K) Limited, JinjiangBaixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd, Fujian Evidoma Ltd, Fujian Qingte Investment Ltd and Quanzhou Sente Trading Ltd which represented 32.9% of the total assets of the Company.

3. Inventories

As at 31 December 2015, the Group’s inventories has a carrying amount of RMB 11,238,000 (Note 7) which represented 1% of total assets. In relation to the audit of inventories, we had selected samples for audit testing of whether inventories are stated appropriately at the lower of cost and net realisable value but were not provided appropriate supporting evidence. We had not been able to contact the management of Baixing and Evidoma (entities which held the Group’s inventories) since end ofApril 2016. Therefore, we were unable to ascertain whether the Group still had ownership of those inventories.

4. Trade and other receivables

As stated in Note 8 to the financial statements, the Group’s trade receivables of RMB 173,627,000 represented 18% of total assets as at 31 December 2015. We had selected samples for the purpose of our audit but were unable to obtain sufficient audit evidenceand we were not able to perform alternative procedures over the existence and recoverability of those samples.

5. Cash and cash equivalents

The management of Pak Sing Shoe Material (H.K) Limited, Jinjiang Baixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd (“Baixing”), Fujian Evidoma Ltd (“Evidoma”), Fujian Qingte Investment Ltd (“Qingte”) and Quanzhou Sente Trading Ltd (“Sente”) (collectively “subsidiaries”) had not responded to certain of our audit procedures to be performed on cash and cash equivalents and there were no acceptable alternatives to these procedures. Consequently, we were unable to carry out our audit procedures to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to satisfy ourselves as to the existence of the bank balances in the current account amounting to RMB 496,480,000 (see Note 9) as at 31 December 2015.

6. Trade and other payables

The Group reported trade and other payables of RMB 90,871,000 which represented 87% of total liabilities. We had selected samples of creditors and circularised confirmations but did not received replies for all the samples and were not able to perform alternative audit procedures. Therefore, we were not able to obtain reasonable assurance over the completeness of those creditor balances.

7. Borrowings

In addition, we were also unable to carry out our audit procedures to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine the existence, quantum and completeness of the bank borrowings, which amounted to RMB 11,500,000 (see Note 13 and 27) as 31 December 2015.

8. Tax provision

In view of the above paragraphs of Bases for Disclaimer of Opinion, we were also unable to determine the consequential tax impact arising from any necessary adjustments and the appropriateness and completeness of disclosures made in the financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2015.

9. Advertising expenses

As disclosed in Note 16 to the financial statements, during the financial year ended 31 December 2015, Fujian Evidoma Ltd, a subsidiary of the Company, incurred Advertising and Promotion Expenses of RMB 34,980,000. The Company was unable to provide complete supporting documents for the Advertising and Promotion Expenses. We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence on the Advertising and Promotion Expenses. Therefore, we could not determine the effect of adjustments, if any, on the financial statements of the Group.

10. Loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment

As disclosed in Note 16 to the financial statements, the amount of loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment was approximately RMB 3,062,000 during the financial year. Management was unable to provide the required information to assess the completeness of the transactions. Therefore, we were unable to ascertain orobtain reasonable assurance over the completeness of those transactions which resulted in loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment.

11. Litigation

We were informed by the new non-executive Directors that, during and subsequent to the financial year ended 31 December 2015, legal claims appear to have beenbrought by certain parties against Jinjiang Baixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd (“Baixing”), Fujian Evidoma Ltd (“Evidoma”), Quanzhou Sente Trading Ltd (“Sente”), Lin HuoZhi and LinLiying (theExecutive Directors of the Company), on certain loan contracts and sale and purchase contracts. The board of directors of the Company have not completed their investigations and are currently unable to provide the required information and comprehensive legal advice to allow us to assess the completeness of all legal cases, extent of liabilities, including contingent liabilities that may arise from these legal claims.

Without full information on those legal cases (see Note 27) and we had not been able to contact the management of Baixing and Evidoma since end of April 2016, management of subsidiaries was unable to determine whether any further provision would be required in respect of those legal casesor reasonable assurance over the completeness of provision for any outstanding legal cases.

12. Going Concern

As disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements of the Group and the statement of financial position of the Company have been prepared on the assumption that the Group and Company will continue as going concerns. The application of the going concern basis is based on the assumption that the Group will be able to realise their assets and liquidate their liabilities in the normal course of business.

As disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements, there are conditions which indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s and Company’s ability to continue as going concerns.

Since end of April 2016, we were not able to contact the management of Baixing, Evidoma and Sente (active subsidiaries of the Group) and were thus unable to obtain reasonable assurance of whether the Group still had ownership of the assets held by those entities. The ability of the Group and Company to continue as going concerns depends on whether the Group and Company are able to exert legal ownership rights over those assets and continue to have sustainable operations. Accordingly, we were unable to determine whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate.

13. Events occurring after the reporting period

We were unable to complete all our audit procedures for events occurring after the reporting period, which we considered necessary to satisfy ourselves on the significant matters occurring after the reporting period with respect to items recorded or unrecorded as at 31 December 2015. Accordingly, in view of the limitation of scope, we were unable to determine whether all significant events occurring after the reporting period had been adequately dealt with in these financial statements (see Note 29) with respect to disclosures, presentation and adjusting subsequent events.

14. Risk due to fraud

We were unable to receive the disclosure from management of subsidiaries regarding the results of their assessment of the risk that the financial statements may be materially misstated as a result of fraud. We were not informed by management that they have no knowledge of any significant facts relating to any frauds or suspected frauds known that may involve: i) management; ii) employees who have significant roles in internal controls or; iii) others where the fraud could have a material effect on the financial statements. Accordingly, we could not assure any allegations of fraud, or suspected fraud, affecting the Company’s financial statements communicated by employees, former employees, analysts, regulators or others.

15. Internal Control

Management is unable to acknowledge their responsibilities for the design, implementation and maintenance of accounting and internal control systems that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error. Management is unable to acknowledge their responsibilities for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls, the objectives of which are to provide us with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition and that transactions are executed as authorised and recorded properly to permit preparations of such financial statements. Management is not able to assure us that there are no material weaknesses in the system of internal accounting controls, including any of which they believe the cost of corrective actions exceeds the benefits. Management did not assess and conclude that there is no risk that the financial statements may be materially misstated as a result of fraud.

16. Employee Share Option Scheme (“ESOS”)

We were unable to determine whether the RMB5,212,000 (Note 16) recognised as an expense with a

corresponding increase in the ESOS reserve (Note 11) complies with the recognition and measurement

requirements of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment. In addition, management of subsidiaries has not

complied with the following presentation and disclosure requirements of IFRS 2:

• A description of the ESOS, including the general terms and conditions of the ESOS such as

vesting requirements, the maximum term of options granted, and the method of settlement;

• The number and weighted average exercise prices of share options outstanding at the beginning of the period, granted during the period, forfeited during the period, exercised during the period, expired during the period, and outstanding at the end of the period; and

• The option pricing model used and the inputs to that model, including the weighted average share price, exercise price, expected volatility, option life, expected dividends, the risk-free interest rate and any other inputs to the model, including the method used and the assumptions made to incorporate the effects of expected early exercise.

Disclaimer of Opinion

Because of the significance of the matters described in the Bases for Disclaimer of Opinion paragraphs, we

have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.

Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the accompanying financial statements of the Group and the

Company.

Notes to the financial statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2015

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Corporate Information

The financial statements of the Company and of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2015

were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on the date of the

Statement by Directors.

The Company (Bermuda Company Registration No. 42425 and Malaysia Foreign Company

Registration No. 995199-H) was incorporated in Bermuda on 18 September 2008 under the

Bermuda Companies Act as an exempted company with limited liability under the name of Multi

Sports Holdings Ltd and is listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.

The registered offices of the Company in Bermuda and Malaysia are Clarendon House, 2 Church

Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda and Level 18, The Gardens North Tower, Mid Valley City,

Lingkaran Syed Putra, 59200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, respectively. The principal place of business

of the Company is located at No. 18, Yongjun Road, Xibin Farm, Xibin Town, Jinjiang City, Fujian

Province, the People's Republic of China (“PRC”).

The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The principal activities of its subsidiaries

are disclosed in Note6 to the financial statements.

Going Concern

The financial statements of the Group and statement of financial position of the Company have been

prepared on the assumption that the Group and Company will continue as going concerns. The

application of the going concern basis is based on the assumption that the Group and Company will

be able to realise their assets and liquidate their liabilities in the normal course of business.

During the current financial year, the Group and Company incurred net losses amounting to

approximately RMB 28,785,000 and RMB 2,489,000 respectively. During the current financial year,

the Group incurred negative operating cash flows of approximately RMB 35,981,000.

The external auditors, Messrs. RT LLP, issued an disclaimer opinion on property, plant and

equipment, land use rights, investment in subsidiaries, inventories, trade and other receivables, cash

and cash equivalents, trade and other payables, borrowings, tax provision, advertising expenses,

loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment,litigation cases, events occurring after reporting

period, risk due to fraud, internal control and employees share option scheme as the external

auditors have raised significant issues from their audit on these areas. Those issues may have a

significant impact on the recorded assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the Group and

Company.

The above conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant

doubt about the Group’s and the Company’s abilities to continue as going concerns.

Notes to the financial statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2015

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2 (a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting

Standards (“IFRS”) including related Interpretations promulgated by the IFRS Interpretation

Committee (“IFRIC”) applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements have

been prepared under the historical cost convention, except as disclosed in the accounting policies

below.

On 1 January 2015, the Company and the Group adopted the new or amended IFRS and IFRIC

interpretations that are mandatory for application from that date. Changes to the Company’s and the

Group’s accounting policies have been made as required, in accordance with the transitional

provisions in the respective IFRSs and IFRIC interpretations.

The adoption of these new or amended IFRS and IFRIC Interpretations did not result in substantial

changes to the Company’s and the Group’s accounting policies and had no material effect on the

amounts reported for the current or prior financial years.

The Group’s principal operations are conducted in the PRC and thus the financial statements are

presented in Renminbi (RMB), being the functional and presentation currency of all the operating

subsidiaries of the Group. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand (RMB’000) except when

otherwise indicated.

Significant accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of, estimates,

assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure

of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period and the reported amounts of

revenues and expenses during the financial year. Although these estimates are based on

management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may differ from those

estimates. Estimates, assumptions and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on

historical experiences and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to

be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical judgements made and key sources of estimation uncertainty in applying accounting

policies

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful

lives. Management estimates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment to be within 3 to 20

years. The carrying amounts of the Group’s property, plant and equipment as at 31 December 2015

and 31 December 2014 were approximately RMB 290,197,000 and RMB 260,078,000 respectively.

Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic

useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be

revised.

Notes to the financial statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2015

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Critical judgements made and key sources of estimation uncertainty inapplyingaccounting

policies (Cont’d)

Allowance for bad and doubtful debts

Allowances for bad and doubtful debts are based on an assessment of the recoverability of trade

and other receivables. The carrying amount of the Group’s trade and other receivables as at 31

December 2015 and 31 December 2014 were approximately RMB 174,173,000 and RMB

135,575,000respectively. Allowances are applied to trade and other receivables where events or

changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be collectible. The identification of bad

and doubtful debts requires the use of judgment and estimates. Where the expected outcome is

different from the original estimate, such differences will impact the carrying value of trade and other

receivables and doubtful debt expenses in the period in which such estimate has been changed.

Allowance for inventory obsolescence

The Group reviews the ageing analysis of inventories at each reporting date, and makes provision

for obsolete and slow-moving inventory items identified that are no longer suitable for sale. The net

realisable value for such inventories are estimated based primarily on the latest invoice prices and

current market conditions. Possible changes in these estimates could result in revisions to the

valuation of inventories.

Impairment of investment in subsidiary

Determining whether investment in subsidiary is impaired requires an estimation of the value-in-use

of that investment. The value-in-use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows

expected from the cash-generating units and an appropriate discount rate in order to calculate the

present value of the future cash flows. The carrying amount of Company’s investment in subsidiaries

as at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014 is RMB 103,465,000.Management of subsidiaries

has evaluated the recoverability of the investment based on such estimates and concluded that no

impairment is required.

Income tax

The Group has exposure to income taxes in the PRC. Significant judgement is required in

determining the provision for income taxes. There are also claims for which the ultimate tax

determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognizes liabilities

for expected tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final

tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognized, such

differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such

determination is made.

2(b) IFRS and IFRIC Interpretations that are issued, not yet effective and have not been

adopted early (Cont’d) The directors do not anticipate that the adoption of the above new or amended IFRS in future periods will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group and Company in the period of their initial adoption except for IFRS 15 and IFRS 9. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of the application of IFRS 15 and IFRS 9) on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company in the period of their initial application.

2(c) Summary of significant accounting policies

Consolidation The financial statements of the Group include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made up to the end of the financial year. Information on its subsidiaries is given in Note 6. The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has right to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group entities are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated but are considered an impairment indicator of assets transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. The use of merger accounting principles has resulted in a balance on Group capital and reserves that have been classified as a merger deficit and included in the Group’s shareholders’ funds. The consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and all its subsidiary undertakings made up to the same accounting date.

In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less

allowance for any impairment losses on an individual subsidiary basis.

Notes to the financial statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2015

Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment

losses, if any. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method to write off the cost of these

assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Leasehold Buildings 20 years

Plant and machinery 5 - 10 years

Office equipment, furniture & fixtures 5 years

Moulding equipment 3 - 5 years

Motor vehicles 3-10 years

The cost of property, plant and equipment includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the

acquisition of the items. Dismantlement, removal or restoration costs are included as part of the cost

of property, plant and equipment if the obligation for dismantlement, removal or restoration is

incurred as a consequence of acquiring or using the asset.

Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment that have been recognised is

added to the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits, in

excess of the standard of performance of the asset before the expenditure was made, will flow to the

Group and the cost can be reliably measured. Other subsequent expenditure is recognised as an

expense during the financial year in which it is incurred.

For acquisitions and disposals during the financial year, depreciation is provided from the month of

acquisition and to the month before disposal respectively. Fully depreciated property, plant and

equipment are retained in the books of accounts until they are no longer in use. Depreciation

methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each

reporting date as a change in estimates.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Company’s and Group’s non-financial assets subject to impairment are

reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of

impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. If it is not

possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, then the recoverable amount of

the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs will be identified.

For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level. All individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.Any impairment loss is

charged to profit or loss unless it reverses a previous revaluation in which case it is charged to equity.

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s

carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs of

disposal and value-in-use. To determine the value-in-use, management estimates expected future

cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines a suitable interest rate in order to

calculate the present value of those cash flows. The data used for impairment testing procedures are

directly linked to the Group’s latest approved budget, adjusted as necessary to exclude the effects of

future reorganisation and asset enhancements. Discount factors are determined individually for each

cash-generating unit and reflect management’s assessment of respective risk profiles, such as

market and asset-specific risks factors.Impairment losses for cash-generating units reduce first the

carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to that cash-generating unit. Any remaining impairment

loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in the cash-generating unit. With the exception of

goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously

recognised may no longer exist. An impairment charge is reversed if the cash-generating unit’s

recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.

Financial assets

Financial assets, other than hedging instruments, can be divided into the following categories:

financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and

receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. Financial assets are assigned to the different

categories by management on initial recognition, depending on the purpose for which the

investments were acquired. The designation of financial assets is re-evaluated and classification

may be changed at the end of each reporting period with the exception that the designation of

financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is not revocable.

All financial assets are recognised on their trade date - the date on which the Company and the

Group commit to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value,

plus directly attributable transaction costs except for financial assets at fair value through profit or

loss, which are recognised at fair value.Derecognition of financial instruments occurs when the

rights to receive cash flows from the investments expire or are transferred and substantially all of the

risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. An assessment for impairment is undertaken

at least at the end of each reporting period whether or not there is objective evidence that a financial

asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Non-compounding interest and other cash flows

resulting from holding financial assets are recognised in profit or loss when received, regardless of

how the related carrying amount of financial assets is measured Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that

are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services

directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivables. They are included in current assets,

except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are

classified as non-current assets.

Loans and receivables include trade and other receivables. They are subsequently measured at

amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. If there is objective

evidence that the asset has been impaired, the financial asset is measured at the present value of

the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. Impairment losses

are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the asset’s recoverable amount can be

related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to a restriction

that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what

the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment loss

or write back is recognised in profit or loss.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Financial liabilities

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade payables and other payables.

Financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual agreements

of the instrument. All interest related charges are recognised as an expense in “finance cost” in profit

or loss. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract

expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Trade payables and other payables are initially measured at fair value, and subsequently measured

at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are recognised initially at the fair value of proceeds received less attributable transaction

costs, if any. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost which is the initial fair value less

any principal repayments. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the

redemption value is taken to profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective

interest method. The interest expense is charged on the amortised cost over the period of the

borrowings using the effective interest method.

Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as

through the amortisation process.

Borrowings which are due to be settled within twelve months after the end of the reporting period are

included in current borrowings in the statement of financial position even though the original term

was for a period longer than twelve months and an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule

payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the end of the reporting period. Borrowings to be

settled within the Group’s normal operating cycle are classified as current. Other borrowings due to

be settled more than twelve months after the end of the reporting period are included in non-current

liabilities in the statement of financial position

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost incurred in bringing each

product to its present location and conditions are accounted for as follows:

(a) Raw materials at purchase cost on a weighted average basis; and

(b) Finished goods and work in progress at cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion

of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the

estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised whenthe Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result

of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be

required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The directors review the provisions annually and where in their opinion, the provision is inadequate

or excessive, due adjustment is made.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax

rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the

increase in the provision due to the passage of the time is recognised as finance costs.

Recognition of revenue

Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to

the buyer, generally when the delivery of the goods is completed. Revenue excludes value added

tax and is arrived at after deduction of trade discounts. No revenue is recognised if there are

significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the

possible return of goods.

Interest income is recognised on a time-apportioned basis using the effective interest rate method.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales comprises mainly of direct material, direct labour and manufacturing overheads. Direct

material costs are included in cost of sales based on actual consumption of raw materials for each

product sold. Direct labour and manufacturing overheads costs are included in cost of sales based

on a systematic allocation of such costs that are incurred in converting raw materials to finished

goods sold.

Income taxes

Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognised at the amount expected to be paid to

or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or

substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period

PRC corporate income tax is provided at rates applicable to an enterprise in the PRC on income for

financial reporting purpose, adjusted for income and expenses items which are not assessable or

deductible for income tax purposes.

Deferred income tax is recognised for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of

assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements except when the deferred

income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is

not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the

transaction.

A deferred income tax liability is recognised on temporary differences arising on investments in

subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary

difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

A deferred income tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit

will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised.

Deferred income tax is measured:

(i) at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised

or the deferred income tax liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been

enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period; and

(ii) based on the tax consequence that will follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the

end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities. Current and deferred income taxes are recognised as income or expense in profit or loss, except to

the extent that the tax arises from a business combination or a transaction which is recognised

directly in equity

Value-added tax

The Group’s sale of goods in the PRC are subjected to Value-added tax (“VAT”) at the applicable

tax rate of 17% for PRC domestic sales. Input VAT on purchases can be deducted from output VAT.

The net amount of VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of

“trade and other receivables” or “trade and other payables” in the statement of financial position

respectively.

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of VAT except where:

• VAT incurred on the purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation

authority, in which case VAT is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as

part of the expense item as applicable; and

• receivables and payables are stated with the amount of VAT included.

Employee benefits

Pursuant to the relevant regulations of the PRC government, the Group participates in a local

municipal government retirement benefits scheme (the “Scheme”), whereby the PRC subsidiary is

required to contribute a certain percentage of the basic salaries of its employees to the Scheme to

fund their retirement benefits. The local municipal government undertakes to assume the retirement

benefits obligations of all existing and future retired employees of the PRC subsidiary. The only

obligation of the Group with respect to the Scheme is to pay the ongoing required contributions

under the Scheme mentioned above. Contributions under the Scheme are expensed as incurred.

Employee Share Option Scheme (ESOS)

The Group operates an equity-settled, share based compensation plan. The value of the employee

services received in exchange for the grant of options is recognised as an expense with a

corresponding increase in the ESOS reserve over the vesting period. The total amount to be

recognised over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options

granted on the date of the grant. Non-market vesting conditions are included in the estimation of the

number of shares under options that are expected to become exercisable on the vesting date. At

each reporting date, the Group revises its estimates of the number of shares under options that are

expected to become exercisable on the vesting date and recognises the impact of the revision of

the estimates in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to the ESOS reserve over the

remaining vesting period. When the options are exercised, the proceeds received (net of transaction

costs) and the related balance previously recognised in the ESOS reserve are credited to share

capital account, when new ordinary shares are issued to the employees.

Key management personnel

Key management personnel are those persons having the authority and responsibility for planning,

directing and controlling the activities of the Group and Company Directors, legal representative

and certain general managers are considered key management personnel.

Foreign currencies

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the

currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional

currency”). The financial statements of the Group and the Company are presented in Renminbi

(RMB), which is also the functional currency of the Company.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Transactions in a currency other than the functional currency (“foreign currency”) are translated

into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Currency

translation differences arising from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of

monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the closing rates are

recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary items are not retranslated at year-end and are

measured at historical cost (translated using the exchange rates at transaction date), except for

non-monetary items measured at fair value which are translated using the exchange rates at the

date when fair value was determined.

(iii) Group companies

The results and financial position of all the entities (none of which has the currency of a

hyperinflationary economy) within the Group that have a functional currency different from the

presentation currency of the Group are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

(a) Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing exchange rates at the date of the end of the

reporting periods;

(b)Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless the average is not a

reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction

dates, in which case income and expenses are translated using the exchange rates at the

dates of the transactions); and

(c)All resulting currency translation differences are recognised in the currency translation reserve

in equity.

Related parties

A related party is defined as follows:

(a) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to the Company if that person:

(i) has control or joint control over the Company;

Operating leases

Rentals on operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease

term. Lease incentives, if any, are recognised as an integral part of the net consideration agreed

for the use of the leased asset. Penalty payments on early termination, if any, are recognised in

profit or loss when incurred.

Financial instruments

The recognition methods adopted for financial assets and liabilities are disclosed in the individual

policy statements associated with each item. These instruments are recognised when contracted

for. Disclosures on financial risk management are provided in Note 22.

Operating segment

For management purposes, operating segments are organised based on their products and

services which are independently managed by the respective segment managers responsible for

the performance of the respective segments under their charge. The segment managers are

directly accountable to the chief executive officer who reviews the segment results in order to

allocate resources to the segments and to assess segment performance.

Share capital, reserves and dividend payments Share capital represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued. Share premium

includes any premiums received on issue of share capital. Any transaction costs associated with

the issuing of shares and warrants are deducted from share premium, net of any related income

tax benefits. Other components of equity are described in Note 11.

All transactions with owners of the parent are recorded separately within equity. Dividend

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are accounted for using the cost model. Capitalised costs are amortised on a

straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives for those considered as having finite useful lives.

After initial recognition, they are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated

impairment losses, if any. In addition, they are subject to annual impairment testing. Indefinite life

intangibles are not amortised but are subject to annual impairment testing.

Intangible assets are written off where, in the opinion of the directors, no further future economic

benefits are expected to arise.

Software

Costs relating to software acquired, which are not an integral part of related hardware, are

capitalised and amortised on a straight-line basis over their remaining useful life of 5 or 10 years.

Trademark

Trademark acquired is initially recognised at cost and is subsequently carried at cost less

accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Trademark cost is amortised to

profit or loss using the straight-line method over 79 months which is the contractual periods of

contractual rights.

Land use rights

Land use rights represent up-front payment for long-term interests in the usage of land and are

stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. Amortisation is

charged so as to write off the cost of the land use rights, using the straight-line method, over the

period of the grant of 50 years, which is the lease term.

Research and developments costs

Research costs are expensed as incurred, Development costs which relate to the design and

testing of new or improved materials, products or processes are recognised as an asset to the

extent that it is expected that such assets will generate future economic benefits.

Borrowing cost

Borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest rate method

Business segment (Cont’d)

7) RB shoe soles

Natural and synthetic rubbers are used in the production of RB shoe soles. They are highly

resistant to wear and tear, possess the highest tensile strength, provide good traction and is

waterproof and weatherproof. However, they provide less dimensional stability, cushioning and

shock-absorption capabilities.

8) MD1 shoe soles

The main components of MD1 shoe soles are ethylene vinyl acetate (“EVA”) and rubber. EVA-

based sports-shoe soles are lightweight, soft, flexible, elastic, resistant to wear and tear, and are

dimensionally stable with adequate cushioning, thus serve as an excellent shock-absorber in

sportsshoe soles.

9) MD2 shoe soles

The main components of MD 2 shoe soles are similar to MD 1 shoe soles, but are produced

using a distinct production process with equipment that are technologically more advanced than

MD1 shoe soles and as such, has greater variability in designs and improved quality control.

10) Apparels and accessories

The main component is men’s fashion wear and accessories.

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of

making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is

evaluated based on operating profit or loss which in certain respects, as explained in the table below,

is measured differently from operating profit or loss in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Group

income taxes are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.

Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm’s length basis in a manner similar to

transaction with third parties, if any.

Geographical segment

As the business of the Group is engaged entirely in the PRC, no reporting by geographical location

of operation is presented.

There is no single segment which account for more than 10% of revenue.

22. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES – POLICIES

The Group does not have written risk management policies and guidelines. However, the board of

directors meets periodically to analyse and formulate measures to manage the Group's exposure to

market risk, including principally changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. Generally,

the Group employs a conservative strategy regarding its risk management. As the Group's exposure

to market risk is kept at a minimum level, the Group has not used any derivatives or other

instruments for hedging purposes. The Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments

for trading purposes.

As at 31 December 2015, the Group's financial instruments mainly comprise cash and bank

balances, trade receivables, other receivables, trade payables, accrued liabilities, other payables,

and interest-bearing bank borrowings.

(i) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Group’s financial

instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

The Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from bank deposits placed with the financial

institutions and interest-bearing bank borrowings.

The Group’s exposures to interest rate risk from the interest-bearing bank borrowings are

minimal as the Group’s policy is to maintain the borrowings on a fixed rate basis. The Group

does not have investment in other financial assets.

(ii) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to

changes in foreign exchange rates. Foreign currency risk arises when transactions are

denominated in foreign currencies. The Group carries out its business in the PRC and most of

the transactions are denominated in Renminbi. Accordingly, the Group’s exposure to risk

resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates is minimal.

(iii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as and

when they fall due. The Group’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity

requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity

requirement in the short and long term. The Group’s financial liabilities are repayable within 12

months.

The table below analyses the maturity profile of the Company’s and the Group’s financial

liabilities based on contractual undiscounted cash flows:

22. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES – POLICIES (Continued)

(iv) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if the counterparty fails to meet its contractual

obligations. The carrying amounts of trade receivables and other receivables represent the

Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to its financial assets. The Group does not

have significant concentrations of credit risk as no individual customer form more than 5% of the

trade receivables balance as at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014, respectively.

The Group performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers’ financial condition and requires

no collateral from its customers. The allowance for doubtful debts is based upon a review of the

expected collectability of all trade and other receivables. There is no impairment loss

recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as majority of the receivables are

collected within the credit period granted and directors expect all balances to be recoverable.

Further quantitative disclosure in respect of the Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from

trade and other receivables are set out in Note 8.

Cash and cash balances of the Group are to be held by reputable financial institutions.

(v) Fair value

The fair values of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities are not materially different from

their carrying amounts because of the immediate or short term maturity of these financial

instruments.

(vi) Price risk

Price risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in

market prices whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual security or

its issuer or factors affecting all securities traded in the market.

The Group does not hold any quoted or marketable financial instrument, hence is not exposed to

any movement in market prices.

PRODUCTS

For management purposes, during the financial year the Group was organized into business units based on

their business activities, and has five reportable operating segments producing the following products:

1) TPR shoe soles

TPR shoe soles are a physical mix of polymers, usually a rubber and a plastic. It combines

the functional properties of rubber and the easy processability, mouldability and recyclability

of thermoplastics. TPR-based sports shoe soles are lightweight, durable, and flexible and

provide good traction even under cold conditions.

2) RB shoe soles

Natural and synthetic rubbers are used in the production of RB shoe soles. They are highly

resistant to wear and tear, possess the highest tensile strength, provide good traction and is

waterproof and weatherproof. However, they provide less dimensional stability, cushioning

and shock-absorption capabilities.

3) MD1 shoe soles

The main components of MD1 shoe soles are ethylene vinyl acetate (“EVA”) and rubber.

EVA-based sports-shoe soles are lightweight, soft, flexible, elastic, resistant to wear and

tear, and are dimensionally stable with adequate cushioning, thus serve as an excellent

shock-absorber in sports shoe soles.

4) MD2 shoe soles

The main components of MD 2 shoe soles are similar to MD 1 shoe soles, but are produced

using a distinct production process with equipment that are technologically more advanced

than MD1 shoe soles and as such, has greater variability in designs and improved quality

control.

5) Apparels and accessories

The main component is men’s fashion wear and accessories.

NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS STATEMENT We, the non-executive Directors of Multi Sports Holdings Limited (the Company) recently appointed by the shareholders of the Company on 4 October 2016 at a Special General Meeting (the new Directors) wish to make the following statement in relation to the 2015 Audited Accounts:

1. This 2015 Annual Report is being released 22 months after the end of the financial year. As the shareholders will be aware, the previous 22 months have been a tumultuous period for the Company, having seen the resignation of directors and advisors; the auditors being unable to carry out confirmations of the Company’s cash bank balances in China; the Company’s suspension by Bursa Malaysia for failure to release the 2015 accounts; potential de-listing of the Company; and Bursa enforcement action against the Company including a public reprimand, and the imposition of fines of RM1,656,000 each on Lin Houzhi and Lin Liying, the Executive Directors in China.

2. We appreciate that Shareholders are impatient for a full explanation and seek accountability. The release of this 2015 Annual Report is a significant step towards regularization of the Company however there is much work to be done and the process of investigating and unravelling what transpired in China has to be completed.

3. The Auditors have given a disclaimer of opinion in their report on the 2015 Audit highlighting the uncertainties summarized below:

I. Property, plant and equipment and land use rights - Inability to contact management of Jinjiang Baixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd (“Baixing”), Fujian Evidoma Ltd (“Evidoma”), Fujian Qingte Investment Ltd (“Qingte”) and Quanzhou Sente Trading Ltd (“Sente”) (“subsidiaries”) (entities which held the Group’s property, plant and equipment and land use rights) to audit the existence and control of these rights; determine their continued recognition as assets; or the recoverable amount of or allowance for impairment.

II. Subsidiaries - Inability to contact the management of subsidiaries to determine whether the Company had control over those subsidiaries or ascertain the ownership and recoverable amount of those subsidiaries or to complete the audit on the subsidiaries.

III. Inventories - Inability to obtain appropriate supporting evidence from Baixing and Evidoma (entities which held the Group’s inventories) since end of April 2016 or ascertain whether the Group still had ownership of those inventories.

IV. Trade and other receivables - Inability to obtain sufficient audit evidence to test samples of trade and other receivable or to perform alternative procedures to test the existence and recoverability of those samples.

V. Cash and cash equivalents - Inability to perform audit procedures on cash and cash equivalents in China in order to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence as to the existence of the bank balances in the current account amounting to RMB 496,480,000 as at 31 December 2015.

VI. Trade and other payables - The Group reported trade and other payables of RMB 88,917,000 which represented 87% of total liabilities. The Auditors had selected samples of creditors and circularised confirmations but did not receive reasonable assurance over the completeness of those creditor balances.

VII. Borrowings - Inability to carry out audit procedures to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine the existence, quantum and completeness of the bank borrowings, which amounted to RMB 11,500,000 as 31 December 2015.

VIII. Tax provision - In view of the above, the auditors were unable to determine the consequential tax impact arising from any necessary adjustments and the appropriateness / completeness of disclosures made in the financial statements.

IX. Advertising expenses - During the financial year ended 31 December 2015, Fujian Evidoma Ltd, a subsidiary of the Company, incurred Advertising and Promotion Expenses of RMB 34,980,000 for which the Auditors were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to allow the Auditors to determine the effect of adjustments, if any, on the financial statements of the Group.

X. Loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment - The amount of loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment was approximately RMB 3,062,000 during the financial year however the Auditors were unable to ascertain or obtain reasonable assurance over the completeness of those transactions.

XI. Litigation - The Auditors were informed by the new non-executive Directors that legal claims appear to have been brought by certain parties against Jinjiang Baixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd Lin Huo Zhi and Lin Liying (the Executive Directors of the Company). Since the new board of Directors have not completed their investigations and are currently unable to provide the required information and comprehensive legal advice, the Auditors are unable to assess the completeness of all legal cases, extent of liabilities, including contingent liabilities that may arise.

XII. Going Concern - The issues raised above indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s and Company’s ability to continue as going concerns and due to the Auditor’s inability to contact the management of the subsidiaries, they were unable to determine whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate.

XIII. Events occurring after the reporting period - Inability to complete all their audit procedures for events occurring after the reporting period necessary to determine whether all significant events occurring after the reporting period had been adequately dealt with in the financial statements with respect to disclosures, presentation and adjusting subsequent events.

XIV. Risk due to fraud - Inability to obtain disclosure from management of the subsidiaries regarding the results of their assessment of the risk that the financial statements may be materially misstated as a result of fraud.

XV. Internal Control - Inability to obtain sufficient assurance that there are no material weaknesses in the system of internal accounting controls or that there is no risk that the financial statements may be materially misstated as a result of fraud.

4. In the circumstances, we wholly support their decision and are grateful for their assistance in identifying key issues for further action and investigation.

5. We have been faced with the same obstacles as the Auditors in terms of accessing and verifying information and as explained below, have also been unable to express an unqualified opinion on the financial statements, which were prepared and submitted to the Auditors for audit by the Board in office during the financial year.

Background to appointment

6. On 4 October, 2016, six new non-executive directors were appointed by the shareholders of the Company at a specially convened general meeting and given a mandate to carry out an independent investigation of the Company’s and group’s affairs.

7. The move to appoint new Malaysian directors was due to the failure of the then board of directors to release the 2015 audited accounts, leading to the suspension of the shares from the main board of the Malaysian Stock Exchange.

8. Shareholders were concerned by the auditor’s inability to confirm the company’s substantial bank balances in China (amongst other items) and resignation of directors/advisors in 2015 and early 2016, including two Malaysian Independent Directors, the CFO, the Company Secretary in Malaysia and the agent in Bermuda.

Status of Company upon appointment

9. Multi Sports Holdings Limited (the Company) is a Bermuda registered holding Company with agents in Bermuda; subsidiaries in Hong Kong and China with a separate company secretary; auditors in China; auditors in Singapore for the holding company, Legal Representative in China, company secretary in Malaysia; and regulators in Malaysia where the company is listed. Our attempt to exercise control over the Company and secure the cooperation of relevant parties has been marked by delays and continues to be challenging till today.

10. When the new directors took office, they found that the Company did not have an operational office or staff in Malaysia and as such, the new directors have had to operate independently and without access to management / administrative support or to Company funding. The new Directors and the Auditors of the Company have also not been able to establish proper communications with the Chairman, the CEO and other key management of the Company.

11. The Company also faced delisting by Bursa Malaysia for the failure to release the 2015 annual report, which had already led to the Company’s suspension.

12. We found that both the Company’s Auditor and Secretary in Bermuda had outstanding fees owing to them:

12.1. Although the Auditor met with and assisted the new directors with information and documents, the outstanding fees owed to the Auditor prevented the new directors from recommencing work to finalise the accounts. It was not until 8 September 2017 that the new directors were able to agree and secure funds for a settlement of fees due to the Auditor to allow works to continue.

12.2. The resignation of the previous secretary in Bermuda and the outstanding fees owed to them prevented the appointment of a new secretary in Bermuda and in order to start the regularization of the Company, the new directors dealt directly with the Company Registry in Bermuda as the Company also had outstanding registration fees due to the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda.

13. The Company’s finances in China were under the control of Lin Liying and Lin Houzhi, both of whom would or should have known that the failure to make the abovementioned payments and release the accounts would risk causing the Company to be delisted or de-registered.

Postponement of De-listing

16. On 4 July 2017 Bursa Malaysia served a notice to show cause against de-listing of the Company from the Main Board of the Malaysian Stock Exchange for failure to submit the 2015 Audited accounts and the subsequent quarterly financial reports. The 2015 financial statements had already been submitted to the auditors by the board in office during that financial year and the draft audit had been prepared.

17. The new Directors secured a postponement of delisting for six months subject to the release of this 2015 audited accounts by 9 October 2017 and all other outstanding financial statements (other than the AR 2015) on or before 28 February 2018.

18. The new Directors had prior to the postponement being granted, informed Bursa Malaysia that the 2015 accounts would need to be heavily qualified or disclaimed due to the circumstances as outlined in the Auditors’ Report and also that the investigations and action that needed to be completed in respect of the subsidiaries in China would only be able to be carried out after the period allowed for the submission of the 2015 Annual Report.

19. To comply with the conditions for postponement of de-listing, the new Directors re-engaged the Auditors, RT LLP in Singapore to complete the 2015 Audit that already been prepared in draft form under the previous board.

20. Due to the circumstances stated above and our inability to review and independently test the financial information prepared by the previous management under the control of Lin Liying and Lin Houzhi and submitted to the Company’s auditors for auditing, the new non-executive Directors are unable to express an unqualified opinion on this report.

Going Forward

21. Given the circumstances faced by the new Directors and the limited resources available, a key priority has been to focus on releasing the 2015 accounts to prevent the Company’s delisting from Bursa and to regularize and maintain the Company’s registration in Bermuda.

22. With the release of the 2015 Annual Report, the new Directors can now focus on completing the investigation and regularization in China and reporting to the authorities so that action can be taken as appropriate; and the regularization and restructuring of the Company necessary to maintain its Bursa Listing for the benefit of the Shareholders.

Inability to provide Statement on Company’s affairs

For reasons stated above and due to the inability to gain access to the Executive Chairman, Directors and

former officers of the Company and the books and records of the Company, the newly appointed Non-

Executive Board of Directors are unable to express an opinion on this report which was prepared based on

financial statements and information prepared under the control of the previous board and submitted to the

Company’s auditors for auditing.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT The new Directors of Multi Sports recognise the importance of good corporate governance in running the operations of the Group and in all of its dealings and are mindful of the trust and expectations placed upon their shoulders by the shareholders and stakeholders. In fulfilling the respective fiduciary duties, the principles of transparency, integrity and professionalism should rightfully be incorporated into all levels of the Group’s corporate hierarchy. In view of the failure by the Executive Directors and former Independent Directors of the Group to release the 2015 Audited Accounts, shareholders of the Company appointed 6 new Independent Directors at a specially convened shareholders meeting on 4 October, 2016. The appointment of the new Independent Directors was to safeguard the interest of shareholders and ensure proper governance. The newly appointed Board of Directors have taken steps to comply with the best practices of principles of good corporate governance as set out in the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2012 (the “Code”) and the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad but realistically, the objective will only be possible once the investigation and regularisation of the Company is completed so that there can be application of the code in substance throughout the Company/Group as opposed to being applied in form only. It is with this mandate in mind that the present Board of Directors hereby reports its findings to the shareholders on the manner of application of these principles contained in the Code to the best of its ability and with the limited information available on hand for the financial year ended in this report: 1. Establish Clear Roles and Responsibilities 1.1 Clear Functions of the Board and Management

The Board of Directors who are signing off on these accounts were appointed on 4 October, 2016 and did not have any responsibility for the Group’s overall strategy, growth and direction including its financial performance as well as management supervision during the financial period reported in these accounts. Attempts by the Company’s auditors to contact the Executive Directors and the Management have been futile. Repeated requests by the newly appointed Board of Directors to meet with the Chairman and CEO have been unsuccessful. For the financial year ended 31 December, 2015 as reported in these accounts, the Board was led by an Executive Chairman while executive management of the Company was ledby the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The Executive Chairman was responsible for running the Board and should have ensured that all Directors receive sufficient relevant information on financial and non-financial matters to enable them to participate actively in Board decisions and in fulfilling its responsibilities to the stakeholders. The CEO’s role was to oversee the day-to-day operations and implementation of the Board’s corporate and operational policies and strategies. In line with the pre-determined authority levels, certain issues such as approval of interim and annual results, significant acquisitions and disposals, long-term planning and major capital expenditure were subject to collective decision by the Board. The Directors should have met, reviewed and approved all corporate announcements before releasing them to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad and Taiwan Stock Exchange. The previous Board had established three (3) committees namely Audit Committee, Nomination Committee and Remuneration Committee. Certain responsibilities are delegated to the Audit Committee which operates within clearly defined parameters as set out in the Audit Committee’s Terms of Reference. This was for an added degree of independence and objectivity on matters within the ambit of the Audit Committee.

Multi Sports Holdings Ltd and its subsidiaries

14

Nomination Committee and Remuneration Committee were set up to assist in discharging its duties and responsibilities as set out in the Board Charter and respective Terms of Reference. The three (3) Committees set up to assist the Board have specific powers and responsibilities. The Chairman of the respective committees’ reports the outcome of decisions and recommendations to the Board and minutes of committees’ meetings would be tabled for the Board’s notation. Notwithstanding recommendations from the Committees, the ultimate decision on all matters lies with the entire Board that was appointed as at 31 December, 2015. The present Board of Directors who are signing off on these accounts are unable to make any representation or assurance that the three (3) Committees had effectively fulfilled their role and obligations as set out in the Company’s terms of reference and Board Charter during the financial period of this report . Furthermore, on 1 November 2017 Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad has publicly reprimanded Multi Sports Holdings Ltd ("MSPORTS"), its Chairman and CEO and 3 other former directors in office during the financial year, for breaches of the Bursa Malaysia Securities Main Market Listing Requirements. In addition, the Chairman and CEO were also fined RM1,656,000 as at the date on announcement. 1.2 Clear Roles and Responsibilities 15 For financial year ended 2015, the then Board of Directors had delegated the day-to-day operations of the Group to the CEO and Executive Directors, who are experienced in the business of the Group. The Executive Directors are responsible for implementing policies and decisions of the Board. Assisted and supported by a Management team, they are tasked with the respective day-to-day operations and to oversee the overall development and implementation of the Group’s business and corporate strategies. The non-executive Independent Directors do not participate in the daily management of the Group and are not engaged in any business and or other relationship which could interfere with the exercise of independent judgement or the ability to act in the best interest of the Company. The Independent Non-Executive Directors, besides functioning as a check and balance, bring an element of objectivity to the Board and provides the Board with a diverse set of experience, expertise and independent judgement to better manage and run the Group. Their presence is intended to provide an unbiased views and impartiality to the Board’s deliberation and decision making process. In addition, the Non-Executive Directors are to ensure that matters and issues brought to the Board are fully discussed and examined, taking into account the interest of all stakeholders in the Group. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the Independent Directors, the Board undertakes an assessment of its independent Directors on an annual basis. 1.3 Formalise ethical standards through a code of conduct

The Board during the financial period in this report should have adopted and implemented a Code of Ethics and Conduct (“COEC”) which reflected the Group’s vision and mission. The Board would expect the behaviour of all employees, officers and directors adhere to a high standard of ethics and to comply with all laws and regulations that govern the Group’s businesses. The Group should foster an environment where integrity and ethical behaviour are maintained and any illegal or improper action and/or wrongdoing in the Group may be exposed. The Board and Management should provide their assurance that employees will not be at risk of any form of victimisation, retribution or retaliation from any member of the Management provided they act in good faith in their reporting. Multi Sports Holdings Ltd The Board aims to promote an atmosphere in which ethical behaviour is well recognised as a priority andpracticed and to treat fairly and courteously without regard to race, creed, religion, gender, nationality,age or disability, and shall not cause any form of discrimination or prejudice in the workplace.

In addition, any personnel who knows of a suspected breach or violation of the COEC, wass encouraged to whistle-blow or report the guilty party or parties to his/her immediate superior or Head of Department or the Chief Operating Officer or the Board of Directors. The new Directors are unable to confirm if the above ethical standards and code of conduct was properly implemented and practiced by the Company, its management and/or its employees in view of the various issues raised in this report. The COEC was accessible on the Company’s website at www.multi-sports.com.cn. as at 31 December, 2015. 1.4 Access to Information and Advice

Prior to the convening of a Board meeting, the notice and agenda for that Board meeting should have been furnished to each Board member and the full set of the relevant Board Papers provided to them for their perusal. In a potential conflict of interest situation, the Director concerned would be required to declare his interest and abstain from decision making. The present Board of Directors are unaware of any change of circumstances during the financial period in this report that had altered the processes above. 1.5 Qualified and Competent Company Secretaries

The Company Secretary and/or the representative(s) should attend all Board meetings, Audit Committee meetings, Nomination Committee meetings as well as Remuneration Committee meetings of the Company. Their duties include minuting the proceedings and decisions of those meetings and ensuring that the proceedings are properly adhered to, providing advice and ensuring that related statutory obligations namely compliance with the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad, the Listing Requirement of Taiwan Stock Exchange, the Malaysian Companies Act, 1965, the Bermuda Companies Act, 1981 and any other relevant requirements as may be applicable to the Company are complied with. They also advise the Board on matters relating to corporate governance, directors’ responsibilities in compliance with the relevant legislation and regulations and keep them updated of new statutory and regulatory requirements relating to the discharge of duties and responsibilities of Directors as well as appropriate procedures for management of meetings.

In addition, other factors considered by the NC include the candidates’ ability to commit sufficient time to the Group and also the ability to satisfy the test of independence taking into account the candidate’s character, integrity and professionalism.

The Board Committees are also subject to annual assessment and the evaluation processes take due consideration of each committee’s contribution and effectiveness in discharging its delegated duties and responsibilities in supporting the Board. The NC is tasked to carry out the evaluation of the effectiveness of the Board and individual Directors annually, including independent non-executive directors. All assessments and evaluations carried out by the NC in the discharge of all its functions are properly documented. Following the evaluation process, the NC identifies areas for improving the effectiveness of the Board and actions to be taken based on such feedback.

In terms of gender make-up of the Board, the Board currently had 1 female director. The Board membership is dependent on each candidate’s skills, experience, core competencies and other qualities, regardless of gender. Therefore, the Board is presently of the view that there is no necessity to fix a specific gender diversity policy. Any new appointments to the Board shall be based on merits without fulfilling any gender quotas. d. Remuneration policies

There were two (2) Directors holding executive positions and drawing salaries from the Group. The remuneration packages for the Executive Directors of the Company are, to a certain extent, dictated by market competitiveness and are tailored to retain and motivate directors of the quality required to manage the business of Multi Sports Group and to align the interests of the Directors with those of the shareholders. The contribution, responsibilities and performance of each Executive Director are also taken into account when determining their respective remuneration packages whilst the remuneration of the Non-Executive Directors is determined in accordance with their experience and the level of responsibilities assumed. We understand that the remuneration policy for Directors and management as at 31 December, 2015 are as follows: a) Basic Salary The Remuneration Committee recommends the basic salary of the CEO and executive director after having considered their performance.

19

is given to the salary scales for similar jobs in the industry. b) Directors’ Fees Directors’ fees are only payable to Non-Executive Directors. The Remuneration Committee recommends the framework of Directors’ fees to the Board. The fee structure is determined based on their experience as well as the level of responsibilities involved and is subject to shareholders approval at the AGM. c) Bonus Scheme The Group operates a bonus scheme for the CEO and Executive Director. The eligibility for the scheme is linked to the performance of the Group’s business activities and an assessment of the employees’ performance and contribution. d) Social Security Contributions Contribution made in respect of the CEO and Executive Director is computed on the basis of the “average wage” of the preceding year. Each year the Department of Labour and Social Security of China will announce the amount of the said average wage in the first half of the year. In addition to the above, the Directors have the benefit of Directors and Officers (D&O) Insurance in respect of any liabilities arising from acts committed in their capacity as D&O of Multi Sports. However, the said insurance policy does not indemnify a Director or principal officer if he or she is proven to have acted negligently, fraudulently or dishonestly, or in breach of his or her duty or trust. In 2015, no information was made available on the quantum of remuneration or any change in remuneration policy of the Executive Directors and Independent Non-Executive Directors of he Company. No AGM was held for shareholders to approve any such remuneration for the financial year ended 31 December, 2015. 3. REINFORCE INDEPENDENCE 3.1 Annual Assessment of Independence The Board, through the NC, assesses the independence of non-executive directors using the Exhibit 8 of the Corporate Governance Guide 2 issued by Bursa Malaysia Berhad, Independent Director Self-Assessment Checklist.

3.5 Composition of the Board As at 31 December, 2015, The Board chaired by the Executive Chairman, met on a quarterly basis to review and approve the results of each financial quarter. Additional ad-hoc meetings were to be called if needed. The Chairman of the Audit Committee would report to the Directors at Board meetings on decisions and key issues that have been raised at the Audit Committee meetings including any areas of emphasis that may have been expressed by the Audit Committee. 4.2 Directors’ Training The Board should emphasise the importance of continuing education programmes or training for Directors. Continual improvement allows the Directors of the Company to equip themselves with updated knowledge and skills to enable them to actively participate in board deliberation and meet future challenges. The Board evaluates and determines the training needs of its members to assist them in the discharge of their duties as Directors. The NC evaluates the training needs of its directors and ensure that they keep abreast of regulatory changes, other developments, and Board business trends. 4. FOSTER COMMITMENT As part of the continuing learning process, the Directors will attend seminars and courses to keep themselves updated on regulatory and corporate governance development besides enhancing their professionalism and knowledge to effectively discharge their duties and obligation.

In addition, the Directors are supposed to be briefed by the Company Secretary from time to time on updates and changes of statutory requirements such as amendments to Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. 5. UPHOLD INTEGRITY IN FINANCIAL REPORTING 5.1 Audit Committee The main purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to accounting and reporting practices of the Group. The Board has a formal, professional and transparent relationship with both the internal and external auditors of the Group.

The Audit Committee has the liberty to meet with the external auditors as and when deemed necessary. The responsibility of the Audit Committee in relation to both the internal and external auditors is described on pages 35 to 37 of this Annual Report. . Multi Sports Holdings Lt26 5.2 Financial Reporting The Directors are duty bound to present a fair and accurate assessment of the Group’s financial position and prospects to the shareholders and stakeholders.

RECOGNISE AND MANAGE RISKS 6.1 Internal Control and Risk Management The Board has overall responsibility for maintaining a sound system of internal controls, internal procedures and guidelines that together serve to provide a reasonable assurance of an effective and efficient operation and always strive to comply with the relevant laws and regulations. The internal controls in place are meant to safeguard the Group’s assets and shareholders’ investments. A key component in carrying out this responsibility is to ensure that risks are appropriately and adequately managed within the Group. However, it must be noted that such controls by their nature can only provide reasonable assurance but are not absolute assurance against the risk of material errors, frauds or losses occurring. A risk profile has been compiled to help the Board and senior management to prioritise their focus on high risks. Significant risk matters are brought to the attention of the Directors. An overview of the state of internal controls within the Group is set out in the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control starting at page 24 of this Annual Report. 27Annual Report 2014 6.2 Internal Audit Functions reports directly to Audit Committee The Board recognises the need for an internal audit function and should have engaged the services of an independent professional firm to provide much of the assurance it requires on the effectiveness as well as the adequacy and integrity of the Group’s systems of internal control. The Board had established that the internal audit functions are independent of the activities or operations of the operating units and report directly to the Audit Committee.

7. ENSURE TIMELY AND HIGH QUALITY DISCLOSURE 7.1 Appropriate corporate disclosure policies and procedures The Company is supposed to recognise the need and importance of communication with shareholders and investors through timely and accurate dissemination of information of the Group’s performance and major developments via appropriate channels of communication. The Board should have in place, internal corporate disclosure policies and procedures, which are in compliance with the disclosure requirements as set out in the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. 8. STRENGTHEN RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN COMPANY AND SHAREHOLDERS 8.1 Encourage shareholder participation at general meetings The principal forum for shareholders to interact and have dialogue with the Board is at the AGM of the Company. The Company supports the Code’s recommendation of encouraging shareholder participation in general meetings. In this respect, notice of AGM and the annual report are disseminated to the shareholders at least twenty-one (21) days before the date of the AGM. In addition, notice of AGM is further enhanced to include all relevant information in regard to the shareholders’ rights at the said general meeting. Any special business items within the agenda for the AGM would be accompanied by an explanatory statement in order for the shareholders to have a better understanding of the issues involved and thereby, better evaluation and decision-making. For certain business/corporate proposals where shareholders’ approval is required, circulars are sent to shareholders within the prescribed timeframe in compliance with the regulatory and statutory provisions. These circulars provide the necessary details and are sufficiently comprehensive to enable shareholders to arrive at an informed decision on the proposals to be tabled at the AGM/Special General Meeting (“SGM”). The Board of Directors did not convene an AGM for the financial year ended 31 December, 2015 as at to date. During the AGM/SGM, shareholders would have the opportunity to seek clarifications pertaining to the Group or to request for information regarding operations, business activities, developments and direction of the Group. Any queries raised would be attended to by the Board and members of senior management would be at hand to provide the necessary information. Furthermore, Recommendation 8.2 of the Code recommends that the Board should encourage poll voting for substantive resolutions. The Board is of the view that with the current level of shareholders’ attendance at AGMs, voting by way of a show of hands continues to be efficient. The Board will evaluate the feasibility of carrying out electronic polling at its general meetings in future. 9. COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODE The newly appointed Board of Directors are unable to verify or confirm if Multi Sports was substantially in compliance with the principles and recommendations of the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2012 throughout the financial year ended 31 December 2015 due to the lack information and co-operation of the Executive Directors.

STATEMENT BY DIRECTORS

The non-executive Directors believe that the accompanying financial statements and the consolidated

balance sheet and consolidated profit and loss account are subject to material uncertainties as reflected in

the issues raised by the Auditors in their Report dated 09.11.2017.

We are unable at present to form an opinion or draw conclusions in respect of the circumstances leading to

the disclaimers by the Auditors. There may be additional circumstances as yet unknown or unconfirmed that

could have a material impact on the truth and fairness of the financial statements.

Accordingly, we are unable to form an opinion as to whether the financial statements have been drawn up in

accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia so as to give a true

and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and of the Company at 31 December 2015 and of their results

and cash flows for the financial year ended on that date

The information set out in Note 25 to the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the

Guidance of Special Matter No 1, Determination of Realised and Unrealised Profits or Losses in the Context

of Disclosure Pursuant to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad Listing Requirements, as issued by the

Malaysian Institute of Accountants (“MIA Guidance”) and the directive of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. In

our opinion, the supplementary information is prepared in accordance with the MIA Guidance and the

directive of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad but being based on financial statements submitted by the

previous board, is subject to the material uncertainties identified by the Auditors.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MULTI SPORTS HOLDINGS LTD

Report on the financial statements

We were engaged to audit the financial statements of Multi Sports Holdings Ltd (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the statements of financial position of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2015, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows of the Group for the financial year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements and the statement of financial position of the Company that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). The directors are also responsible for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Because of the matters described in the Bases for Disclaimer of opinion paragraphs, however, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.

Bases for Disclaimer of Opinion

1. Property, plant and equipment and land use rights

As at 31 December 2015, the Group’s carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment and land use rights amounted to RMB 290,197,000 and RMB 642,000 respectively, which collectively represented 29% of total assets. Since end of April 2016, we have not been able to contact management of JinjiangBaixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd (“Baixing”), Fujian Evidoma Ltd (“Evidoma”), Fujian Qingte Investment Ltd (“Qingte”) and Quanzhou Sente Trading Ltd (“Sente”) (entities which held the Group’s property, plant and equipment and land use rights) to perform additional audit procedures on the existence of these property, plant and equipment and land use rights and whether the Group still had control over those assets. Existence and control over property, plant and equipment and land use rights are critical to the determination of whether the Group can derive economic benefits from those assets. Accordingly, we were unable to determine whether property, plant and equipment and land use rights should continue to be recognised as assets.

In addition, management has also not determined the recoverable amount of, nor assessed for any allowance for impairment of property, plant and equipment and land use rights. Consequently, we were unable to perform alternative audit procedures to assess the appropriateness of the carrying amounts of the property, plant and equipment and land use rights.

2. Subsidiaries

i) Investment in subsidiaries

Since end of April 2016, we have not been able to establish contact with the management of Baixing, Evidoma, Qingte and Sente and therefore were not able to determine whether the Company had control over those subsidiaries. Accordingly, we were not able to ascertain the ownership and recoverable amount of those subsidiaries.

As disclosed in Note 6 to the financial statements, the audit of the subsidiary companies, namely Pak Sing Shoe Material (H.K) Limited, Jinjiang Baixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd, Fujian Evidoma Ltd, Fujian Qingte Investment Ltd and Quanzhou SenteTrading Ltd (collectively “subsidiaries”) was unable to be completed due to insufficient documents and information, and no audited financial statements being available for the financial year ended 31 December 2015. The financial position and results of these subsidiary companies had been consolidated based on the latest available management financial statements received by us from the Executive Directors.

2. Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

i) Investment in subsidiaries (Cont’d)

We were unable to carry out procedures or to obtain information we consider necessary on the management financial statements of these subsidiary companies during our audit of the financial statements of the Group. Therefore, we could not determine the effect of adjustments, if any, on the financial statements of the Group.

The Company’s carrying amount of amount due from a subsidiary as at 31 December 2015 amounted to RMB 36,845,000. As disclosed in Note 8 to the financial statements, the Company has not determined the recoverable amount of, nor assessed for any allowance for amount due from a subsidiary as at 31 December 2015. Consequently, we were unable to perform any alternative audit procedures to assess the appropriateness of the carrying amount of the amount due from a subsidiary.

As disclosed in Note 6to the financial statements, included in carrying amount of investment in subsidiary companies is an amount of RMB 103,465,000 representing the investment cost in Pak Sing Shoe Material (H.K) Limited, JinjiangBaixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd, Fujian Evidoma Ltd, Fujian Qingte Investment Ltd and Quanzhou Sente Trading Ltd which represented 32.9% of the total assets of the Company.

3. Inventories

As at 31 December 2015, the Group’s inventories has a carrying amount of RMB 11,238,000 (Note 7) which represented 1% of total assets. In relation to the audit of inventories, we had selected samples for audit testing of whether inventories are stated appropriately at the lower of cost and net realisable value but were not provided appropriate supporting evidence. We had not been able to contact the management of Baixing and Evidoma (entities which held the Group’s inventories) since end ofApril 2016. Therefore, we were unable to ascertain whether the Group still had ownership of those inventories.

4. Trade and other receivables

As stated in Note 8 to the financial statements, the Group’s trade receivables of RMB 173,627,000 represented 18% of total assets as at 31 December 2015. We had selected samples for the purpose of our audit but were unable to obtain sufficient audit evidenceand we were not able to perform alternative procedures over the existence and recoverability of those samples.

5. Cash and cash equivalents

The management of Pak Sing Shoe Material (H.K) Limited, Jinjiang Baixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd (“Baixing”), Fujian Evidoma Ltd (“Evidoma”), Fujian Qingte Investment Ltd (“Qingte”) and Quanzhou Sente Trading Ltd (“Sente”) (collectively “subsidiaries”) had not responded to certain of our audit procedures to be performed on cash and cash equivalents and there were no acceptable alternatives to these procedures. Consequently, we were unable to carry out our audit procedures to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to satisfy ourselves as to the existence of the bank balances in the current account amounting to RMB 496,480,000 (see Note 9) as at 31 December 2015.

6. Trade and other payables

The Group reported trade and other payables of RMB 90,871,000 which represented 87% of total liabilities. We had selected samples of creditors and circularised confirmations but did not received replies for all the samples and were not able to perform alternative audit procedures. Therefore, we were not able to obtain reasonable assurance over the completeness of those creditor balances.

7. Borrowings

In addition, we were also unable to carry out our audit procedures to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine the existence, quantum and completeness of the bank borrowings, which amounted to RMB 11,500,000 (see Note 13 and 27) as 31 December 2015.

8. Tax provision

In view of the above paragraphs of Bases for Disclaimer of Opinion, we were also unable to determine the consequential tax impact arising from any necessary adjustments and the appropriateness and completeness of disclosures made in the financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2015.

9. Advertising expenses

As disclosed in Note 16 to the financial statements, during the financial year ended 31 December 2015, Fujian Evidoma Ltd, a subsidiary of the Company, incurred Advertising and Promotion Expenses of RMB 34,980,000. The Company was unable to provide complete supporting documents for the Advertising and Promotion Expenses. We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence on the Advertising and Promotion Expenses. Therefore, we could not determine the effect of adjustments, if any, on the financial statements of the Group.

10. Loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment

As disclosed in Note 16 to the financial statements, the amount of loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment was approximately RMB 3,062,000 during the financial year. Management was unable to provide the required information to assess the completeness of the transactions. Therefore, we were unable to ascertain orobtain reasonable assurance over the completeness of those transactions which resulted in loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment.

11. Litigation

We were informed by the new non-executive Directors that, during and subsequent to the financial year ended 31 December 2015, legal claims appear to have beenbrought by certain parties against Jinjiang Baixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd (“Baixing”), Fujian Evidoma Ltd (“Evidoma”), Quanzhou Sente Trading Ltd (“Sente”), Lin HuoZhi and LinLiying (theExecutive Directors of the Company), on certain loan contracts and sale and purchase contracts. The board of directors of the Company have not completed their investigations and are currently unable to provide the required information and comprehensive legal advice to allow us to assess the completeness of all legal cases, extent of liabilities, including contingent liabilities that may arise from these legal claims.

Without full information on those legal cases (see Note 27) and we had not been able to contact the management of Baixing and Evidoma since end of April 2016, management of subsidiaries was unable to determine whether any further provision would be required in respect of those legal casesor reasonable assurance over the completeness of provision for any outstanding legal cases.

12. Going Concern

As disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements of the Group and the statement of financial position of the Company have been prepared on the assumption that the Group and Company will continue as going concerns. The application of the going concern basis is based on the assumption that the Group will be able to realise their assets and liquidate their liabilities in the normal course of business.

As disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements, there are conditions which indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s and Company’s ability to continue as going concerns.

Since end of April 2016, we were not able to contact the management of Baixing, Evidoma and Sente (active subsidiaries of the Group) and were thus unable to obtain reasonable assurance of whether the Group still had ownership of the assets held by those entities. The ability of the Group and Company to continue as going concerns depends on whether the Group and Company are able to exert legal ownership rights over those assets and continue to have sustainable operations. Accordingly, we were unable to determine whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate.

13. Events occurring after the reporting period

We were unable to complete all our audit procedures for events occurring after the reporting period, which we considered necessary to satisfy ourselves on the significant matters occurring after the reporting period with respect to items recorded or unrecorded as at 31 December 2015. Accordingly, in view of the limitation of scope, we were unable to determine whether all significant events occurring after the reporting period had been adequately dealt with in these financial statements (see Note 29) with respect to disclosures, presentation and adjusting subsequent events.

14. Risk due to fraud

We were unable to receive the disclosure from management of subsidiaries regarding the results of their assessment of the risk that the financial statements may be materially misstated as a result of fraud. We were not informed by management that they have no knowledge of any significant facts relating to any frauds or suspected frauds known that may involve: i) management; ii) employees who have significant roles in internal controls or; iii) others where the fraud could have a material effect on the financial statements. Accordingly, we could not assure any allegations of fraud, or suspected fraud, affecting the Company’s financial statements communicated by employees, former employees, analysts, regulators or others.

15. Internal Control

Management is unable to acknowledge their responsibilities for the design, implementation and maintenance of accounting and internal control systems that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error. Management is unable to acknowledge their responsibilities for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls, the objectives of which are to provide us with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition and that transactions are executed as authorised and recorded properly to permit preparations of such financial statements. Management is not able to assure us that there are no material weaknesses in the system of internal accounting controls, including any of which they believe the cost of corrective actions exceeds the benefits. Management did not assess and conclude that there is no risk that the financial statements may be materially misstated as a result of fraud.

16. Employee Share Option Scheme (“ESOS”)

We were unable to determine whether the RMB5,212,000 (Note 16) recognised as an expense with a

corresponding increase in the ESOS reserve (Note 11) complies with the recognition and measurement

requirements of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment. In addition, management of subsidiaries has not

complied with the following presentation and disclosure requirements of IFRS 2:

• A description of the ESOS, including the general terms and conditions of the ESOS such as

vesting requirements, the maximum term of options granted, and the method of settlement;

• The number and weighted average exercise prices of share options outstanding at the beginning of the period, granted during the period, forfeited during the period, exercised during the period, expired during the period, and outstanding at the end of the period; and

• The option pricing model used and the inputs to that model, including the weighted average share price, exercise price, expected volatility, option life, expected dividends, the risk-free interest rate and any other inputs to the model, including the method used and the assumptions made to incorporate the effects of expected early exercise.

Disclaimer of Opinion

Because of the significance of the matters described in the Bases for Disclaimer of Opinion paragraphs, we

have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.

Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the accompanying financial statements of the Group and the

Company.

Notes to the financial statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2015

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Corporate Information

The financial statements of the Company and of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2015

were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on the date of the

Statement by Directors.

The Company (Bermuda Company Registration No. 42425 and Malaysia Foreign Company

Registration No. 995199-H) was incorporated in Bermuda on 18 September 2008 under the

Bermuda Companies Act as an exempted company with limited liability under the name of Multi

Sports Holdings Ltd and is listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.

The registered offices of the Company in Bermuda and Malaysia are Clarendon House, 2 Church

Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda and Level 18, The Gardens North Tower, Mid Valley City,

Lingkaran Syed Putra, 59200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, respectively. The principal place of business

of the Company is located at No. 18, Yongjun Road, Xibin Farm, Xibin Town, Jinjiang City, Fujian

Province, the People's Republic of China (“PRC”).

The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The principal activities of its subsidiaries

are disclosed in Note6 to the financial statements.

Going Concern

The financial statements of the Group and statement of financial position of the Company have been

prepared on the assumption that the Group and Company will continue as going concerns. The

application of the going concern basis is based on the assumption that the Group and Company will

be able to realise their assets and liquidate their liabilities in the normal course of business.

During the current financial year, the Group and Company incurred net losses amounting to

approximately RMB 28,785,000 and RMB 2,489,000 respectively. During the current financial year,

the Group incurred negative operating cash flows of approximately RMB 35,981,000.

The external auditors, Messrs. RT LLP, issued an disclaimer opinion on property, plant and

equipment, land use rights, investment in subsidiaries, inventories, trade and other receivables, cash

and cash equivalents, trade and other payables, borrowings, tax provision, advertising expenses,

loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment,litigation cases, events occurring after reporting

period, risk due to fraud, internal control and employees share option scheme as the external

auditors have raised significant issues from their audit on these areas. Those issues may have a

significant impact on the recorded assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the Group and

Company.

The above conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant

doubt about the Group’s and the Company’s abilities to continue as going concerns.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2 (a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting

Standards (“IFRS”) including related Interpretations promulgated by the IFRS Interpretation

Committee (“IFRIC”) applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements have

been prepared under the historical cost convention, except as disclosed in the accounting policies

below.

On 1 January 2015, the Company and the Group adopted the new or amended IFRS and IFRIC

interpretations that are mandatory for application from that date. Changes to the Company’s and the

Group’s accounting policies have been made as required, in accordance with the transitional

provisions in the respective IFRSs and IFRIC interpretations.

The adoption of these new or amended IFRS and IFRIC Interpretations did not result in substantial

changes to the Company’s and the Group’s accounting policies and had no material effect on the

amounts reported for the current or prior financial years.

The Group’s principal operations are conducted in the PRC and thus the financial statements are

presented in Renminbi (RMB), being the functional and presentation currency of all the operating

subsidiaries of the Group. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand (RMB’000) except when

otherwise indicated.

Significant accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of, estimates,

assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure

of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period and the reported amounts of

revenues and expenses during the financial year. Although these estimates are based on

management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may differ from those

estimates. Estimates, assumptions and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on

historical experiences and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to

be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical judgements made and key sources of estimation uncertainty in applying accounting

policies

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful

lives. Management estimates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment to be within 3 to 20

years. The carrying amounts of the Group’s property, plant and equipment as at 31 December 2015

and 31 December 2014 were approximately RMB 290,197,000 and RMB 260,078,000 respectively.

Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic

useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be

revised.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Critical judgements made and key sources of estimation uncertainty inapplyingaccounting

policies (Cont’d)

Allowance for bad and doubtful debts

Allowances for bad and doubtful debts are based on an assessment of the recoverability of trade

and other receivables. The carrying amount of the Group’s trade and other receivables as at 31

December 2015 and 31 December 2014 were approximately RMB 174,173,000 and RMB

135,575,000respectively. Allowances are applied to trade and other receivables where events or

changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be collectible. The identification of bad

and doubtful debts requires the use of judgment and estimates. Where the expected outcome is

different from the original estimate, such differences will impact the carrying value of trade and other

receivables and doubtful debt expenses in the period in which such estimate has been changed.

Allowance for inventory obsolescence

The Group reviews the ageing analysis of inventories at each reporting date, and makes provision

for obsolete and slow-moving inventory items identified that are no longer suitable for sale. The net

realisable value for such inventories are estimated based primarily on the latest invoice prices and

current market conditions. Possible changes in these estimates could result in revisions to the

valuation of inventories.

Impairment of investment in subsidiary

Determining whether investment in subsidiary is impaired requires an estimation of the value-in-use

of that investment. The value-in-use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows

expected from the cash-generating units and an appropriate discount rate in order to calculate the

present value of the future cash flows. The carrying amount of Company’s investment in subsidiaries

as at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014 is RMB 103,465,000.Management of subsidiaries

has evaluated the recoverability of the investment based on such estimates and concluded that no

impairment is required.

Income tax

The Group has exposure to income taxes in the PRC. Significant judgement is required in

determining the provision for income taxes. There are also claims for which the ultimate tax

determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognizes liabilities

for expected tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final

tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognized, such

differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such

determination is made.

Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of the application of IFRS 15 and IFRS 9) on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company in the period of their initial application.

2(c) Summary of significant accounting policies

Consolidation The financial statements of the Group include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made up to the end of the financial year. Information on its subsidiaries is given in Note 6. The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has right to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group entities are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated but are considered an impairment indicator of assets transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. The use of merger accounting principles has resulted in a balance on Group capital and reserves that have been classified as a merger deficit and included in the Group’s shareholders’ funds. The consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and all its subsidiary undertakings made up to the same accounting date.

In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less

allowance for any impairment losses on an individual subsidiary basis.

Notes to the financial statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2015

Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment

losses, if any. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method to write off the cost of these

assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Leasehold Buildings 20 years

Plant and machinery 5 - 10 years

Office equipment, furniture & fixtures 5 years

Moulding equipment 3 - 5 years

Motor vehicles 3-10 years

The cost of property, plant and equipment includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the

acquisition of the items. Dismantlement, removal or restoration costs are included as part of the cost

of property, plant and equipment if the obligation for dismantlement, removal or restoration is

incurred as a consequence of acquiring or using the asset.

Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment that have been recognised is

added to the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits, in

excess of the standard of performance of the asset before the expenditure was made, will flow to the

Group and the cost can be reliably measured. Other subsequent expenditure is recognised as an

expense during the financial year in which it is incurred.

For acquisitions and disposals during the financial year, depreciation is provided from the month of

acquisition and to the month before disposal respectively. Fully depreciated property, plant and

equipment are retained in the books of accounts until they are no longer in use. Depreciation

methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each

reporting date as a change in estimates.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Company’s and Group’s non-financial assets subject to impairment are

reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of

impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. If it is not

possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, then the recoverable amount of

the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs will be identified.

For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level. All individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.Any impairment loss is

charged to profit or loss unless it reverses a previous revaluation in which case it is charged to equity.

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s

carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs of

disposal and value-in-use. To determine the value-in-use, management estimates expected future

cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines a suitable interest rate in order to

calculate the present value of those cash flows. The data used for impairment testing procedures are

directly linked to the Group’s latest approved budget, adjusted as necessary to exclude the effects of

future reorganisation and asset enhancements. Discount factors are determined individually for each

cash-generating unit and reflect management’s assessment of respective risk profiles, such as

market and asset-specific risks factors.Impairment losses for cash-generating units reduce first the

carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to that cash-generating unit. Any remaining impairment

loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in the cash-generating unit. With the exception of

goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously

recognised may no longer exist. An impairment charge is reversed if the cash-generating unit’s

recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.

Notes to the financial statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2015 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Financial assets

Financial assets, other than hedging instruments, can be divided into the following categories:

financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and

receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. Financial assets are assigned to the different

categories by management on initial recognition, depending on the purpose for which the

investments were acquired. The designation of financial assets is re-evaluated and classification

may be changed at the end of each reporting period with the exception that the designation of

financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is not revocable.

All financial assets are recognised on their trade date - the date on which the Company and the

Group commit to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value,

plus directly attributable transaction costs except for financial assets at fair value through profit or

loss, which are recognised at fair value.Derecognition of financial instruments occurs when the

rights to receive cash flows from the investments expire or are transferred and substantially all of the

risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. An assessment for impairment is undertaken

at least at the end of each reporting period whether or not there is objective evidence that a financial

asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Non-compounding interest and other cash flows

resulting from holding financial assets are recognised in profit or loss when received, regardless of

how the related carrying amount of financial assets is measured Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that

are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services

directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivables. They are included in current assets,

except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are

classified as non-current assets.

Loans and receivables include trade and other receivables. They are subsequently measured at

amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. If there is objective

evidence that the asset has been impaired, the financial asset is measured at the present value of

the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. Impairment losses

are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the asset’s recoverable amount can be

related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to a restriction

that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what

the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment loss

or write back is recognised in profit or loss.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Financial liabilities

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade payables and other payables.

Financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual agreements

of the instrument. All interest related charges are recognised as an expense in “finance cost” in profit

or loss. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract

expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Trade payables and other payables are initially measured at fair value, and subsequently measured

at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are recognised initially at the fair value of proceeds received less attributable transaction

costs, if any. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost which is the initial fair value less

any principal repayments. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the

redemption value is taken to profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective

interest method. The interest expense is charged on the amortised cost over the period of the

borrowings using the effective interest method.

Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as

through the amortisation process.

Borrowings which are due to be settled within twelve months after the end of the reporting period are

included in current borrowings in the statement of financial position even though the original term

was for a period longer than twelve months and an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule

payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the end of the reporting period. Borrowings to be

settled within the Group’s normal operating cycle are classified as current. Other borrowings due to

be settled more than twelve months after the end of the reporting period are included in non-current

liabilities in the statement of financial position

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost incurred in bringing each

product to its present location and conditions are accounted for as follows:

(a) Raw materials at purchase cost on a weighted average basis; and

(b) Finished goods and work in progress at cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion

of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the

estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised whenthe Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result

of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be

required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The directors review the provisions annually and where in their opinion, the provision is inadequate

or excessive, due adjustment is made.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax

rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the

increase in the provision due to the passage of the time is recognised as finance costs.

Recognition of revenue

Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to

the buyer, generally when the delivery of the goods is completed. Revenue excludes value added

tax and is arrived at after deduction of trade discounts. No revenue is recognised if there are

significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the

possible return of goods.

Interest income is recognised on a time-apportioned basis using the effective interest rate method.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Cost of sales

Cost of sales comprises mainly of direct material, direct labour and manufacturing overheads. Direct

material costs are included in cost of sales based on actual consumption of raw materials for each

product sold. Direct labour and manufacturing overheads costs are included in cost of sales based

on a systematic allocation of such costs that are incurred in converting raw materials to finished

goods sold.

Income taxes

Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognised at the amount expected to be paid to

or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or

substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period

PRC corporate income tax is provided at rates applicable to an enterprise in the PRC on income for

financial reporting purpose, adjusted for income and expenses items which are not assessable or

deductible for income tax purposes.

Deferred income tax is recognised for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of

assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements except when the deferred

income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is

not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the

transaction.

A deferred income tax liability is recognised on temporary differences arising on investments in

subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary

difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

A deferred income tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit

will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised.

Deferred income tax is measured:

(i) at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised

or the deferred income tax liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been

enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period; and

(ii) based on the tax consequence that will follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the

end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities. Current and deferred income taxes are recognised as income or expense in profit or loss, except to

the extent that the tax arises from a business combination or a transaction which is recognised

directly in equity

Value-added tax

The Group’s sale of goods in the PRC are subjected to Value-added tax (“VAT”) at the applicable

tax rate of 17% for PRC domestic sales. Input VAT on purchases can be deducted from output VAT.

The net amount of VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of

“trade and other receivables” or “trade and other payables” in the statement of financial position

respectively.

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of VAT except where:

• VAT incurred on the purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation

authority, in which case VAT is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as

part of the expense item as applicable; and

• receivables and payables are stated with the amount of VAT included.

Employee benefits

Pursuant to the relevant regulations of the PRC government, the Group participates in a local

municipal government retirement benefits scheme (the “Scheme”), whereby the PRC subsidiary is

required to contribute a certain percentage of the basic salaries of its employees to the Scheme to

fund their retirement benefits. The local municipal government undertakes to assume the retirement

benefits obligations of all existing and future retired employees of the PRC subsidiary. The only

obligation of the Group with respect to the Scheme is to pay the ongoing required contributions

under the Scheme mentioned above. Contributions under the Scheme are expensed as incurred.

Employee Share Option Scheme (ESOS)

The Group operates an equity-settled, share based compensation plan. The value of the employee

services received in exchange for the grant of options is recognised as an expense with a

corresponding increase in the ESOS reserve over the vesting period. The total amount to be

recognised over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options

granted on the date of the grant. Non-market vesting conditions are included in the estimation of the

number of shares under options that are expected to become exercisable on the vesting date. At

each reporting date, the Group revises its estimates of the number of shares under options that are

expected to become exercisable on the vesting date and recognises the impact of the revision of

the estimates in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to the ESOS reserve over the

remaining vesting period. When the options are exercised, the proceeds received (net of transaction

costs) and the related balance previously recognised in the ESOS reserve are credited to share

capital account, when new ordinary shares are issued to the employees.

Key management personnel

Key management personnel are those persons having the authority and responsibility for planning,

directing and controlling the activities of the Group and Company Directors, legal representative

and certain general managers are considered key management personnel.

Foreign currencies

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the

currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional

currency”). The financial statements of the Group and the Company are presented in Renminbi

(RMB), which is also the functional currency of the Company.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Transactions in a currency other than the functional currency (“foreign currency”) are translated

into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Currency

translation differences arising from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of

monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the closing rates are

recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary items are not retranslated at year-end and are

measured at historical cost (translated using the exchange rates at transaction date), except for

non-monetary items measured at fair value which are translated using the exchange rates at the

date when fair value was determined.

(iii) Group companies

The results and financial position of all the entities (none of which has the currency of a

hyperinflationary economy) within the Group that have a functional currency different from the

presentation currency of the Group are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

(a) Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing exchange rates at the date of the end of the

reporting periods;

(b)Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless the average is not a

reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction

dates, in which case income and expenses are translated using the exchange rates at the

dates of the transactions); and

(c)All resulting currency translation differences are recognised in the currency translation reserve

in equity.

Related parties

A related party is defined as follows:

(a) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to the Company if that person:

(i) has control or joint control over the Company;

(ii) has significant influence over the Company; or

(iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Company or of a parent of the Company.

(b) An entity is related to the Company if any of the following conditions applies:

(i) the entity and the Company are members of the same group (which means that each parent,

subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others).

(ii) one entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint venture of

According to the Corporate Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, withholding tax is

imposed on dividends declared in respect of profit earned by PRC subsidiaries from 1 January

2008 onward. For the Group, the applicable rate for the withholding tax is 10%. In estimating the

withholding taxes on dividends expected to be distributed by the subsidiaries established in PRC in

respect of earnings generated from 1 January 2008 onwards, the directors have made an

assessment based on the factors which included the dividend policy and the level of capital and

working capital required for the Group’s operations in the foreseeable future. No provision has been

made on the books as the Group has no intention to declare dividends from the current year’s profit

and the past retained profits.

Business segment

For management purposes, the Group is organized into business units based on their business

activities, and has five reportable operating segments as follows:

6) TPR shoe soles

TPR shoe soles are a physical mix of polymers, usually a rubber and a plastic. It combines the

functional properties of rubber and the easy processability, mouldability and recyclability of

thermoplastics. TPR-based sportsshoe soles are lightweight, durable, and flexible and provide

good traction even under cold conditions.

21. SEGMENT INFORMATION (CONT’D)

Business segment (Cont’d)

7) RB shoe soles

Natural and synthetic rubbers are used in the production of RB shoe soles. They are highly

resistant to wear and tear, possess the highest tensile strength, provide good traction and is

waterproof and weatherproof. However, they provide less dimensional stability, cushioning and

shock-absorption capabilities.

8) MD1 shoe soles

The main components of MD1 shoe soles are ethylene vinyl acetate (“EVA”) and rubber. EVA-

based sports-shoe soles are lightweight, soft, flexible, elastic, resistant to wear and tear, and are

dimensionally stable with adequate cushioning, thus serve as an excellent shock-absorber in

sportsshoe soles.

9) MD2 shoe soles

The main components of MD 2 shoe soles are similar to MD 1 shoe soles, but are produced

using a distinct production process with equipment that are technologically more advanced than

MD1 shoe soles and as such, has greater variability in designs and improved quality control.

10) Apparels and accessories

The main component is men’s fashion wear and accessories.

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of

making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is

evaluated based on operating profit or loss which in certain respects, as explained in the table below,

is measured differently from operating profit or loss in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Group

income taxes are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.

Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm’s length basis in a manner similar to

transaction with third parties, if any.

Geographical segment

As the business of the Group is engaged entirely in the PRC, no reporting by geographical location

of operation is presented.

There is no single segment which account for more than 10% of revenue.

22. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES – POLICIES

The Group does not have written risk management policies and guidelines. However, the board of

directors meets periodically to analyse and formulate measures to manage the Group's exposure to

market risk, including principally changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. Generally,

the Group employs a conservative strategy regarding its risk management. As the Group's exposure

to market risk is kept at a minimum level, the Group has not used any derivatives or other

instruments for hedging purposes. The Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments

for trading purposes.

As at 31 December 2015, the Group's financial instruments mainly comprise cash and bank

balances, trade receivables, other receivables, trade payables, accrued liabilities, other payables,

and interest-bearing bank borrowings.

(i) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Group’s financial

instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

The Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from bank deposits placed with the financial

institutions and interest-bearing bank borrowings.

The Group’s exposures to interest rate risk from the interest-bearing bank borrowings are

minimal as the Group’s policy is to maintain the borrowings on a fixed rate basis. The Group

does not have investment in other financial assets.

(ii) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to

changes in foreign exchange rates. Foreign currency risk arises when transactions are

denominated in foreign currencies. The Group carries out its business in the PRC and most of

the transactions are denominated in Renminbi. Accordingly, the Group’s exposure to risk

resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates is minimal.

(iii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as and

when they fall due. The Group’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity

requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity

requirement in the short and long term. The Group’s financial liabilities are repayable within 12

months.

The table below analyses the maturity profile of the Company’s and the Group’s financial

liabilities based on contractual undiscounted cash flows:

22. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES – POLICIES (Continued)

(iv) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if the counterparty fails to meet its contractual

obligations. The carrying amounts of trade receivables and other receivables represent the

Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to its financial assets. The Group does not

have significant concentrations of credit risk as no individual customer form more than 5% of the

trade receivables balance as at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014, respectively.

The Group performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers’ financial condition and requires

no collateral from its customers. The allowance for doubtful debts is based upon a review of the

expected collectability of all trade and other receivables. There is no impairment loss

recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as majority of the receivables are

collected within the credit period granted and directors expect all balances to be recoverable.

Further quantitative disclosure in respect of the Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from

trade and other receivables are set out in Note 8.

Cash and cash balances of the Group are to be held by reputable financial institutions.

(v) Fair value

The fair values of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities are not materially different from

their carrying amounts because of the immediate or short term maturity of these financial

instruments.

(vi) Price risk

Price risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in

market prices whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual security or

its issuer or factors affecting all securities traded in the market.

The Group does not hold any quoted or marketable financial instrument, hence is not exposed to

any movement in market prices.

PRODUCTS

For management purposes, during the financial year the Group was organized into business units based on

their business activities, and has five reportable operating segments producing the following products:

1) TPR shoe soles

TPR shoe soles are a physical mix of polymers, usually a rubber and a plastic. It combines

the functional properties of rubber and the easy processability, mouldability and recyclability

of thermoplastics. TPR-based sports shoe soles are lightweight, durable, and flexible and

provide good traction even under cold conditions.

2) RB shoe soles

Natural and synthetic rubbers are used in the production of RB shoe soles. They are highly

resistant to wear and tear, possess the highest tensile strength, provide good traction and is

waterproof and weatherproof. However, they provide less dimensional stability, cushioning

and shock-absorption capabilities.

3) MD1 shoe soles

The main components of MD1 shoe soles are ethylene vinyl acetate (“EVA”) and rubber.

EVA-based sports-shoe soles are lightweight, soft, flexible, elastic, resistant to wear and

tear, and are dimensionally stable with adequate cushioning, thus serve as an excellent

shock-absorber in sports shoe soles.

4) MD2 shoe soles

The main components of MD 2 shoe soles are similar to MD 1 shoe soles, but are produced

using a distinct production process with equipment that are technologically more advanced

than MD1 shoe soles and as such, has greater variability in designs and improved quality

control.

5) Apparels and accessories

The main component is men’s fashion wear and accessories.

NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS STATEMENT We, the non-executive Directors of Multi Sports Holdings Limited (the Company) recently appointed by the shareholders of the Company on 4 October 2016 at a Special General Meeting (the new Directors) wish to make the following statement in relation to the 2015 Audited Accounts:

1. This 2015 Annual Report is being released 22 months after the end of the financial year. As the shareholders will be aware, the previous 22 months have been a tumultuous period for the Company, having seen the resignation of directors and advisors; the auditors being unable to carry out confirmations of the Company’s cash bank balances in China; the Company’s suspension by Bursa Malaysia for failure to release the 2015 accounts; potential de-listing of the Company; and Bursa enforcement action against the Company including a public reprimand, and the imposition of fines of RM1,656,000 each on Lin Houzhi and Lin Liying, the Executive Directors in China.

2. We appreciate that Shareholders are impatient for a full explanation and seek accountability. The release of this 2015 Annual Report is a significant step towards regularization of the Company however there is much work to be done and the process of investigating and unravelling what transpired in China has to be completed.

3. The Auditors have given a disclaimer of opinion in their report on the 2015 Audit highlighting the uncertainties summarized below:

I. Property, plant and equipment and land use rights - Inability to contact management of Jinjiang Baixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd (“Baixing”), Fujian Evidoma Ltd (“Evidoma”), Fujian Qingte Investment Ltd (“Qingte”) and Quanzhou Sente Trading Ltd (“Sente”) (“subsidiaries”) (entities which held the Group’s property, plant and equipment and land use rights) to audit the existence and control of these rights; determine their continued recognition as assets; or the recoverable amount of or allowance for impairment.

II. Subsidiaries - Inability to contact the management of subsidiaries to determine whether the Company had control over those subsidiaries or ascertain the ownership and recoverable amount of those subsidiaries or to complete the audit on the subsidiaries.

III. Inventories - Inability to obtain appropriate supporting evidence from Baixing and Evidoma (entities which held the Group’s inventories) since end of April 2016 or ascertain whether the Group still had ownership of those inventories.

IV. Trade and other receivables - Inability to obtain sufficient audit evidence to test samples of trade and other receivable or to perform alternative procedures to test the existence and recoverability of those samples.

V. Cash and cash equivalents - Inability to perform audit procedures on cash and cash equivalents in China in order to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence as to the existence of the bank balances in the current account amounting to RMB 496,480,000 as at 31 December 2015.

VI. Trade and other payables - The Group reported trade and other payables of RMB 88,917,000 which represented 87% of total liabilities. The Auditors had selected samples of creditors and circularised confirmations but did not receive reasonable assurance over the completeness of those creditor balances.

VII. Borrowings - Inability to carry out audit procedures to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine the existence, quantum and completeness of the bank borrowings, which amounted to RMB 11,500,000 as 31 December 2015.

VIII. Tax provision - In view of the above, the auditors were unable to determine the consequential tax impact arising from any necessary adjustments and the appropriateness / completeness of disclosures made in the financial statements.

IX. Advertising expenses - During the financial year ended 31 December 2015, Fujian Evidoma Ltd, a subsidiary of the Company, incurred Advertising and Promotion Expenses of RMB 34,980,000 for which the Auditors were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to allow the Auditors to determine the effect of adjustments, if any, on the financial statements of the Group.

X. Loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment - The amount of loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment was approximately RMB 3,062,000 during the financial year however the Auditors were unable to ascertain or obtain reasonable assurance over the completeness of those transactions.

XI. Litigation - The Auditors were informed by the new non-executive Directors that legal claims appear to have been brought by certain parties against Jinjiang Baixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd Lin Huo Zhi and Lin Liying (the Executive Directors of the Company). Since the new board of Directors have not completed their investigations and are currently unable to provide the required information and comprehensive legal advice, the Auditors are unable to assess the completeness of all legal cases, extent of liabilities, including contingent liabilities that may arise.

XII. Going Concern - The issues raised above indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s and Company’s ability to continue as going concerns and due to the Auditor’s inability to contact the management of the subsidiaries, they were unable to determine whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate.

XIII. Events occurring after the reporting period - Inability to complete all their audit procedures for events occurring after the reporting period necessary to determine whether all significant events occurring after the reporting period had been adequately dealt with in the financial statements with respect to disclosures, presentation and adjusting subsequent events.

XIV. Risk due to fraud - Inability to obtain disclosure from management of the subsidiaries regarding the results of their assessment of the risk that the financial statements may be materially misstated as a result of fraud.

XV. Internal Control - Inability to obtain sufficient assurance that there are no material weaknesses in the system of internal accounting controls or that there is no risk that the financial statements may be materially misstated as a result of fraud.

4. In the circumstances, we wholly support their decision and are grateful for their assistance in identifying key issues for further action and investigation.

5. We have been faced with the same obstacles as the Auditors in terms of accessing and verifying information and as explained below, have also been unable to express an unqualified opinion on the financial statements, which were prepared and submitted to the Auditors for audit by the Board in office during the financial year.

Background to appointment

6. On 4 October, 2016, six new non-executive directors were appointed by the shareholders of the Company at a specially convened general meeting and given a mandate to carry out an independent investigation of the Company’s and group’s affairs.

7. The move to appoint new Malaysian directors was due to the failure of the then board of directors to release the 2015 audited accounts, leading to the suspension of the shares from the main board of the Malaysian Stock Exchange.

8. Shareholders were concerned by the auditor’s inability to confirm the company’s substantial bank balances in China (amongst other items) and resignation of directors/advisors in 2015 and early 2016, including two Malaysian Independent Directors, the CFO, the Company Secretary in Malaysia and the agent in Bermuda.

Status of Company upon appointment

9. Multi Sports Holdings Limited (the Company) is a Bermuda registered holding Company with agents in Bermuda; subsidiaries in Hong Kong and China with a separate company secretary; auditors in China; auditors in Singapore for the holding company, Legal Representative in China, company secretary in Malaysia; and regulators in Malaysia where the company is listed. Our attempt to exercise control over the Company and secure the cooperation of relevant parties has been marked by delays and continues to be challenging till today.

10. When the new directors took office, they found that the Company did not have an operational office or staff in Malaysia and as such, the new directors have had to operate independently and without access to management / administrative support or to Company funding. The new Directors and the Auditors of the Company have also not been able to establish proper communications with the Chairman, the CEO and other key management of the Company.

11. The Company also faced delisting by Bursa Malaysia for the failure to release the 2015 annual report, which had already led to the Company’s suspension.

12. We found that both the Company’s Auditor and Secretary in Bermuda had outstanding fees owing to them:

12.1. Although the Auditor met with and assisted the new directors with information and documents, the outstanding fees owed to the Auditor prevented the new directors from recommencing work to finalise the accounts. It was not until 8 September 2017 that the new directors were able to agree and secure funds for a settlement of fees due to the Auditor to allow works to continue.

12.2. The resignation of the previous secretary in Bermuda and the outstanding fees owed to them prevented the appointment of a new secretary in Bermuda and in order to start the regularization of the Company, the new directors dealt directly with the Company Registry in Bermuda as the Company also had outstanding registration fees due to the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda.

13. The Company’s finances in China were under the control of Lin Liying and Lin Houzhi, both of whom would or should have known that the failure to make the abovementioned payments and release the accounts would risk causing the Company to be delisted or de-registered.

14. The Chairman did not respond to the Auditors and our requests for a meeting and the CEO refused to discuss the audit issues or facilitate the confirmations required by the auditors on the basis that there was no point because the company was going to be delisted.

Ongoing Investigations

15. Investigations into the Company’s affairs are ongoing and it is not appropriate to report on them until confirmed and complete. Information regarding legal action taken against the operating subsidiaries in China has however been published in China and it is appropriate to relate this information to Malaysian shareholders - The following is a list of legal action in China stated to involve the main subsidiary Jinjian Baixing as a defendant, as published on a Government of the People’s Republic of China website: http://zhixing.court.gov.cn/search/; and or on Openlaw.cn a non-governmental , open source Chinese case law database.

Postponement of De-listing

16. On 4 July 2017 Bursa Malaysia served a notice to show cause against de-listing of the Company from the Main Board of the Malaysian Stock Exchange for failure to submit the 2015 Audited accounts and the subsequent quarterly financial reports. The 2015 financial statements had already been submitted to the auditors by the board in office during that financial year and the draft audit had been prepared.

17. The new Directors secured a postponement of delisting for six months subject to the release of this 2015 audited accounts by 9 October 2017 and all other outstanding financial statements (other than the AR 2015) on or before 28 February 2018.

18. The new Directors had prior to the postponement being granted, informed Bursa Malaysia that the 2015 accounts would need to be heavily qualified or disclaimed due to the circumstances as outlined in the Auditors’ Report and also that the investigations and action that needed to be completed in respect of the subsidiaries in China would only be able to be carried out after the period allowed for the submission of the 2015 Annual Report.

19. To comply with the conditions for postponement of de-listing, the new Directors re-engaged the Auditors, RT LLP in Singapore to complete the 2015 Audit that already been prepared in draft form under the previous board.

20. Due to the circumstances stated above and our inability to review and independently test the financial information prepared by the previous management under the control of Lin Liying and Lin Houzhi and submitted to the Company’s auditors for auditing, the new non-executive Directors are unable to express an unqualified opinion on this report.

Going Forward

21. Given the circumstances faced by the new Directors and the limited resources available, a key priority has been to focus on releasing the 2015 accounts to prevent the Company’s delisting from Bursa and to regularize and maintain the Company’s registration in Bermuda.

22. With the release of the 2015 Annual Report, the new Directors can now focus on completing the investigation and regularization in China and reporting to the authorities so that action can be taken as appropriate; and the regularization and restructuring of the Company necessary to maintain its Bursa Listing for the benefit of the Shareholders.

Inability to provide Statement on Company’s affairs

For reasons stated above and due to the inability to gain access to the Executive Chairman, Directors and

former officers of the Company and the books and records of the Company, the newly appointed Non-

Executive Board of Directors are unable to express an opinion on this report which was prepared based on

financial statements and information prepared under the control of the previous board and submitted to the

Company’s auditors for auditing.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT The new Directors of Multi Sports recognise the importance of good corporate governance in running the operations of the Group and in all of its dealings and are mindful of the trust and expectations placed upon their shoulders by the shareholders and stakeholders. In fulfilling the respective fiduciary duties, the principles of transparency, integrity and professionalism should rightfully be incorporated into all levels of the Group’s corporate hierarchy. In view of the failure by the Executive Directors and former Independent Directors of the Group to release the 2015 Audited Accounts, shareholders of the Company appointed 6 new Independent Directors at a specially convened shareholders meeting on 4 October, 2016. The appointment of the new Independent Directors was to safeguard the interest of shareholders and ensure proper governance. The newly appointed Board of Directors have taken steps to comply with the best practices of principles of good corporate governance as set out in the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2012 (the “Code”) and the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad but realistically, the objective will only be possible once the investigation and regularisation of the Company is completed so that there can be application of the code in substance throughout the Company/Group as opposed to being applied in form only. It is with this mandate in mind that the present Board of Directors hereby reports its findings to the shareholders on the manner of application of these principles contained in the Code to the best of its ability and with the limited information available on hand for the financial year ended in this report: 1. Establish Clear Roles and Responsibilities 1.1 Clear Functions of the Board and Management

The Board of Directors who are signing off on these accounts were appointed on 4 October, 2016 and did not have any responsibility for the Group’s overall strategy, growth and direction including its financial performance as well as management supervision during the financial period reported in these accounts. Attempts by the Company’s auditors to contact the Executive Directors and the Management have been futile. Repeated requests by the newly appointed Board of Directors to meet with the Chairman and CEO have been unsuccessful. For the financial year ended 31 December, 2015 as reported in these accounts, the Board was led by an Executive Chairman while executive management of the Company was ledby the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The Executive Chairman was responsible for running the Board and should have ensured that all Directors receive sufficient relevant information on financial and non-financial matters to enable them to participate actively in Board decisions and in fulfilling its responsibilities to the stakeholders. The CEO’s role was to oversee the day-to-day operations and implementation of the Board’s corporate and operational policies and strategies. In line with the pre-determined authority levels, certain issues such as approval of interim and annual results, significant acquisitions and disposals, long-term planning and major capital expenditure were subject to collective decision by the Board. The Directors should have met, reviewed and approved all corporate announcements before releasing them to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad and Taiwan Stock Exchange. The previous Board had established three (3) committees namely Audit Committee, Nomination Committee and Remuneration Committee. Certain responsibilities are delegated to the Audit Committee which operates within clearly defined parameters as set out in the Audit Committee’s Terms of Reference. This was for an added degree of independence and objectivity on matters within the ambit of the Audit Committee.

Multi Sports Holdings Ltd and its subsidiaries

14

Nomination Committee and Remuneration Committee were set up to assist in discharging its duties and responsibilities as set out in the Board Charter and respective Terms of Reference. The three (3) Committees set up to assist the Board have specific powers and responsibilities. The Chairman of the respective committees’ reports the outcome of decisions and recommendations to the Board and minutes of committees’ meetings would be tabled for the Board’s notation. Notwithstanding recommendations from the Committees, the ultimate decision on all matters lies with the entire Board that was appointed as at 31 December, 2015. The present Board of Directors who are signing off on these accounts are unable to make any representation or assurance that the three (3) Committees had effectively fulfilled their role and obligations as set out in the Company’s terms of reference and Board Charter during the financial period of this report . Furthermore, on 1 November 2017 Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad has publicly reprimanded Multi Sports Holdings Ltd ("MSPORTS"), its Chairman and CEO and 3 other former directors in office during the financial year, for breaches of the Bursa Malaysia Securities Main Market Listing Requirements. In addition, the Chairman and CEO were also fined RM1,656,000 as at the date on announcement. 1.2 Clear Roles and Responsibilities 15 For financial year ended 2015, the then Board of Directors had delegated the day-to-day operations of the Group to the CEO and Executive Directors, who are experienced in the business of the Group. The Executive Directors are responsible for implementing policies and decisions of the Board. Assisted and supported by a Management team, they are tasked with the respective day-to-day operations and to oversee the overall development and implementation of the Group’s business and corporate strategies. The non-executive Independent Directors do not participate in the daily management of the Group and are not engaged in any business and or other relationship which could interfere with the exercise of independent judgement or the ability to act in the best interest of the Company. The Independent Non-Executive Directors, besides functioning as a check and balance, bring an element of objectivity to the Board and provides the Board with a diverse set of experience, expertise and independent judgement to better manage and run the Group. Their presence is intended to provide an unbiased views and impartiality to the Board’s deliberation and decision making process. In addition, the Non-Executive Directors are to ensure that matters and issues brought to the Board are fully discussed and examined, taking into account the interest of all stakeholders in the Group. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the Independent Directors, the Board undertakes an assessment of its independent Directors on an annual basis. 1.3 Formalise ethical standards through a code of conduct

The Board during the financial period in this report should have adopted and implemented a Code of Ethics and Conduct (“COEC”) which reflected the Group’s vision and mission. The Board would expect the behaviour of all employees, officers and directors adhere to a high standard of ethics and to comply with all laws and regulations that govern the Group’s businesses. The Group should foster an environment where integrity and ethical behaviour are maintained and any illegal or improper action and/or wrongdoing in the Group may be exposed. The Board and Management should provide their assurance that employees will not be at risk of any form of victimisation, retribution or retaliation from any member of the Management provided they act in good faith in their reporting. Multi Sports Holdings Ltd The Board aims to promote an atmosphere in which ethical behaviour is well recognised as a priority andpracticed and to treat fairly and courteously without regard to race, creed, religion, gender, nationality,age or disability, and shall not cause any form of discrimination or prejudice in the workplace.

15

In addition, any personnel who knows of a suspected breach or violation of the COEC, wass encouraged to whistle-blow or report the guilty party or parties to his/her immediate superior or Head of Department or the Chief Operating Officer or the Board of Directors. The new Directors are unable to confirm if the above ethical standards and code of conduct was properly implemented and practiced by the Company, its management and/or its employees in view of the various issues raised in this report. The COEC was accessible on the Company’s website at www.multi-sports.com.cn. as at 31 December, 2015. 1.4 Access to Information and Advice

Prior to the convening of a Board meeting, the notice and agenda for that Board meeting should have been furnished to each Board member and the full set of the relevant Board Papers provided to them for their perusal. In a potential conflict of interest situation, the Director concerned would be required to declare his interest and abstain from decision making. The present Board of Directors are unaware of any change of circumstances during the financial period in this report that had altered the processes above. 1.5 Qualified and Competent Company Secretaries

The Company Secretary and/or the representative(s) should attend all Board meetings, Audit Committee meetings, Nomination Committee meetings as well as Remuneration Committee meetings of the Company. Their duties include minuting the proceedings and decisions of those meetings and ensuring that the proceedings are properly adhered to, providing advice and ensuring that related statutory obligations namely compliance with the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad, the Listing Requirement of Taiwan Stock Exchange, the Malaysian Companies Act, 1965, the Bermuda Companies Act, 1981 and any other relevant requirements as may be applicable to the Company are complied with. They also advise the Board on matters relating to corporate governance, directors’ responsibilities in compliance with the relevant legislation and regulations and keep them updated of new statutory and regulatory requirements relating to the discharge of duties and responsibilities of Directors as well as appropriate procedures for management of meetings. Members of the Board should have a complete and unimpeded access to the services and advice of the Company Secretary. They also have direct and unrestricted access to senior management of the Company for information relating to the affairs of the Group and have authority to seek external professional advice at the expense of the Company, if necessary. The Company Secretary during this financial period resigned on 27 May, 2016.

of allowance for doubtful debts and satisfied themselves that there were no bad debts to be

written off and no allowance for doubtful debts was required; and

(ii) to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to realise their value as shown in the

accounting records in the ordinary course of business had been written down to an amount

which they might be expected to realise.

(b) At the date of this report, the directors are unable to ascertain if the Officers, former Board of Directors

and Executive Directors of the company as at 31 December, 2015 were aware of any circumstances

other than those already disclosed in the financial statements which would render:-

respect of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company; or

(ii)the values attributed to current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company

STATEMENT BY DIRECTORS

The non-executive Directors believe that the accompanying financial statements and the consolidated

balance sheet and consolidated profit and loss account are subject to material uncertainties as reflected in

the issues raised by the Auditors in their Report dated 09.11.2017.

We are unable at present to form an opinion or draw conclusions in respect of the circumstances leading to

the disclaimers by the Auditors. There may be additional circumstances as yet unknown or unconfirmed that

could have a material impact on the truth and fairness of the financial statements.

Accordingly, we are unable to form an opinion as to whether the financial statements have been drawn up in

accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia so as to give a true

and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and of the Company at 31 December 2015 and of their results

and cash flows for the financial year ended on that date

The information set out in Note 25 to the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the

Guidance of Special Matter No 1, Determination of Realised and Unrealised Profits or Losses in the Context

of Disclosure Pursuant to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad Listing Requirements, as issued by the

Malaysian Institute of Accountants (“MIA Guidance”) and the directive of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. In

our opinion, the supplementary information is prepared in accordance with the MIA Guidance and the

directive of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad but being based on financial statements submitted by the

previous board, is subject to the material uncertainties identified by the Auditors.

Pursuant to Paragraph 9.27 of the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad:

I, Mr. Terence Selvarajah A/L Peter Selvarajah, being the Director primarily responsible for the financial

management of Multi Sports Holdings Ltd effective 4 October, 2016, do solemnly and sincerely declare to the

best of my knowledge and belief:

that it is my opinion that the accompanying financial statements and the consolidated balance sheet and

consolidated profit and loss account are subject to material uncertainties as reflected in the issues raised by

the Auditors in their Report dated 09.11.2017. There may also be additional circumstances of which I am not

aware of that may have a material impact on the truth and fairness of the financial statements.

Accordingly, I am unable to form an opinion as to whether the financial statements have been drawn up in

accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the

Group and of the Company at 31 December 2015 and of their results and cash flows for the financial year

ended on that date and I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true and by

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MULTI SPORTS HOLDINGS LTD

Report on the financial statements

We were engaged to audit the financial statements of Multi Sports Holdings Ltd (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the statements of financial position of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2015, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows of the Group for the financial year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements and the statement of financial position of the Company that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). The directors are also responsible for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Because of the matters described in the Bases for Disclaimer of opinion paragraphs, however, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.

Bases for Disclaimer of Opinion

1. Property, plant and equipment and land use rights

As at 31 December 2015, the Group’s carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment and land use rights amounted to RMB 290,197,000 and RMB 642,000 respectively, which collectively represented 29% of total assets. Since end of April 2016, we have not been able to contact management of JinjiangBaixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd (“Baixing”), Fujian Evidoma Ltd (“Evidoma”), Fujian Qingte Investment Ltd (“Qingte”) and Quanzhou Sente Trading Ltd (“Sente”) (entities which held the Group’s property, plant and equipment and land use rights) to perform additional audit procedures on the existence of these property, plant and equipment and land use rights and whether the Group still had control over those assets. Existence and control over property, plant and equipment and land use rights are critical to the determination of whether the Group can derive economic benefits from those assets. Accordingly, we were unable to determine whether property, plant and equipment and land use rights should continue to be recognised as assets.

In addition, management has also not determined the recoverable amount of, nor assessed for any allowance for impairment of property, plant and equipment and land use rights. Consequently, we were unable to perform alternative audit procedures to assess the appropriateness of the carrying amounts of the property, plant and equipment and land use rights.

2. Subsidiaries

i) Investment in subsidiaries

Since end of April 2016, we have not been able to establish contact with the management of Baixing, Evidoma, Qingte and Sente and therefore were not able to determine whether the Company had control over those subsidiaries. Accordingly, we were not able to ascertain the ownership and recoverable amount of those subsidiaries.

As disclosed in Note 6 to the financial statements, the audit of the subsidiary companies, namely Pak Sing Shoe Material (H.K) Limited, Jinjiang Baixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd, Fujian Evidoma Ltd, Fujian Qingte Investment Ltd and Quanzhou SenteTrading Ltd (collectively “subsidiaries”) was unable to be completed due to insufficient documents and information, and no audited financial statements being available for the financial year ended 31 December 2015. The financial position and results of these subsidiary companies had been consolidated based on the latest available management financial statements received by us from the Executive Directors.

Bases for Disclaimer of Opinion

2. Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

i) Investment in subsidiaries (Cont’d)

We were unable to carry out procedures or to obtain information we consider necessary on the management financial statements of these subsidiary companies during our audit of the financial statements of the Group. Therefore, we could not determine the effect of adjustments, if any, on the financial statements of the Group.

The Company’s carrying amount of amount due from a subsidiary as at 31 December 2015 amounted to RMB 36,845,000. As disclosed in Note 8 to the financial statements, the Company has not determined the recoverable amount of, nor assessed for any allowance for amount due from a subsidiary as at 31 December 2015. Consequently, we were unable to perform any alternative audit procedures to assess the appropriateness of the carrying amount of the amount due from a subsidiary.

As disclosed in Note 6to the financial statements, included in carrying amount of investment in subsidiary companies is an amount of RMB 103,465,000 representing the investment cost in Pak Sing Shoe Material (H.K) Limited, JinjiangBaixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd, Fujian Evidoma Ltd, Fujian Qingte Investment Ltd and Quanzhou Sente Trading Ltd which represented 32.9% of the total assets of the Company.

3. Inventories

As at 31 December 2015, the Group’s inventories has a carrying amount of RMB 11,238,000 (Note 7) which represented 1% of total assets. In relation to the audit of inventories, we had selected samples for audit testing of whether inventories are stated appropriately at the lower of cost and net realisable value but were not provided appropriate supporting evidence. We had not been able to contact the management of Baixing and Evidoma (entities which held the Group’s inventories) since end ofApril 2016. Therefore, we were unable to ascertain whether the Group still had ownership of those inventories.

4. Trade and other receivables

As stated in Note 8 to the financial statements, the Group’s trade receivables of RMB 173,627,000 represented 18% of total assets as at 31 December 2015. We had selected samples for the purpose of our audit but were unable to obtain sufficient audit evidenceand we were not able to perform alternative procedures over the existence and recoverability of those samples.

5. Cash and cash equivalents

The management of Pak Sing Shoe Material (H.K) Limited, Jinjiang Baixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd (“Baixing”), Fujian Evidoma Ltd (“Evidoma”), Fujian Qingte Investment Ltd (“Qingte”) and Quanzhou Sente Trading Ltd (“Sente”) (collectively “subsidiaries”) had not responded to certain of our audit procedures to be performed on cash and cash equivalents and there were no acceptable alternatives to these procedures. Consequently, we were unable to carry out our audit procedures to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to satisfy ourselves as to the existence of the bank balances in the current account amounting to RMB 496,480,000 (see Note 9) as at 31 December 2015.

6. Trade and other payables

The Group reported trade and other payables of RMB 90,871,000 which represented 87% of total liabilities. We had selected samples of creditors and circularised confirmations but did not received replies for all the samples and were not able to perform alternative audit procedures. Therefore, we were not able to obtain reasonable assurance over the completeness of those creditor balances.

7. Borrowings

In addition, we were also unable to carry out our audit procedures to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine the existence, quantum and completeness of the bank borrowings, which amounted to RMB 11,500,000 (see Note 13 and 27) as 31 December 2015.

8. Tax provision

In view of the above paragraphs of Bases for Disclaimer of Opinion, we were also unable to determine the consequential tax impact arising from any necessary adjustments and the appropriateness and completeness of disclosures made in the financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2015.

9. Advertising expenses

As disclosed in Note 16 to the financial statements, during the financial year ended 31 December 2015, Fujian Evidoma Ltd, a subsidiary of the Company, incurred Advertising and Promotion Expenses of RMB 34,980,000. The Company was unable to provide complete supporting documents for the Advertising and Promotion Expenses. We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence on the Advertising and Promotion Expenses. Therefore, we could not determine the effect of adjustments, if any, on the financial statements of the Group.

10. Loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment

As disclosed in Note 16 to the financial statements, the amount of loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment was approximately RMB 3,062,000 during the financial year. Management was unable to provide the required information to assess the completeness of the transactions. Therefore, we were unable to ascertain orobtain reasonable assurance over the completeness of those transactions which resulted in loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment.

11. Litigation

We were informed by the new non-executive Directors that, during and subsequent to the financial year ended 31 December 2015, legal claims appear to have beenbrought by certain parties against Jinjiang Baixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd (“Baixing”), Fujian Evidoma Ltd (“Evidoma”), Quanzhou Sente Trading Ltd (“Sente”), Lin HuoZhi and LinLiying (theExecutive Directors of the Company), on certain loan contracts and sale and purchase contracts. The board of directors of the Company have not completed their investigations and are currently unable to provide the required information and comprehensive legal advice to allow us to assess the completeness of all legal cases, extent of liabilities, including contingent liabilities that may arise from these legal claims.

Without full information on those legal cases (see Note 27) and we had not been able to contact the management of Baixing and Evidoma since end of April 2016, management of subsidiaries was unable to determine whether any further provision would be required in respect of those legal casesor reasonable assurance over the completeness of provision for any outstanding legal cases.

Bases for Disclaimer of Opinion (Cont’d)

12. Going Concern

As disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements of the Group and the statement of financial position of the Company have been prepared on the assumption that the Group and Company will continue as going concerns. The application of the going concern basis is based on the assumption that the Group will be able to realise their assets and liquidate their liabilities in the normal course of business.

As disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements, there are conditions which indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s and Company’s ability to continue as going concerns.

Since end of April 2016, we were not able to contact the management of Baixing, Evidoma and Sente (active subsidiaries of the Group) and were thus unable to obtain reasonable assurance of whether the Group still had ownership of the assets held by those entities. The ability of the Group and Company to continue as going concerns depends on whether the Group and Company are able to exert legal ownership rights over those assets and continue to have sustainable operations. Accordingly, we were unable to determine whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate.

13. Events occurring after the reporting period

We were unable to complete all our audit procedures for events occurring after the reporting period, which we considered necessary to satisfy ourselves on the significant matters occurring after the reporting period with respect to items recorded or unrecorded as at 31 December 2015. Accordingly, in view of the limitation of scope, we were unable to determine whether all significant events occurring after the reporting period had been adequately dealt with in these financial statements (see Note 29) with respect to disclosures, presentation and adjusting subsequent events.

14. Risk due to fraud

We were unable to receive the disclosure from management of subsidiaries regarding the results of their assessment of the risk that the financial statements may be materially misstated as a result of fraud. We were not informed by management that they have no knowledge of any significant facts relating to any frauds or suspected frauds known that may involve: i) management; ii) employees who have significant roles in internal controls or; iii) others where the fraud could have a material effect on the financial statements. Accordingly, we could not assure any allegations of fraud, or suspected fraud, affecting the Company’s financial statements communicated by employees, former employees, analysts, regulators or others.

15. Internal Control

Management is unable to acknowledge their responsibilities for the design, implementation and maintenance of accounting and internal control systems that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error. Management is unable to acknowledge their responsibilities for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls, the objectives of which are to provide us with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition and that transactions are executed as authorised and recorded properly to permit preparations of such financial statements. Management is not able to assure us that there are no material weaknesses in the system of internal accounting controls, including any of which they believe the cost of corrective actions exceeds the benefits. Management did not assess and conclude that there is no risk that the financial statements may be materially misstated as a result of fraud.

16. Employee Share Option Scheme (“ESOS”)

We were unable to determine whether the RMB5,212,000 (Note 16) recognised as an expense with a

corresponding increase in the ESOS reserve (Note 11) complies with the recognition and measurement

requirements of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment. In addition, management of subsidiaries has not

complied with the following presentation and disclosure requirements of IFRS 2:

• A description of the ESOS, including the general terms and conditions of the ESOS such as

vesting requirements, the maximum term of options granted, and the method of settlement;

• The number and weighted average exercise prices of share options outstanding at the beginning of the period, granted during the period, forfeited during the period, exercised during the period, expired during the period, and outstanding at the end of the period; and

• The option pricing model used and the inputs to that model, including the weighted average share price, exercise price, expected volatility, option life, expected dividends, the risk-free interest rate and any other inputs to the model, including the method used and the assumptions made to incorporate the effects of expected early exercise.

Disclaimer of Opinion

Because of the significance of the matters described in the Bases for Disclaimer of Opinion paragraphs, we

have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.

Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the accompanying financial statements of the Group and the

Company.

Notes to the financial statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2015

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Corporate Information

The financial statements of the Company and of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2015

were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on the date of the

Statement by Directors.

The Company (Bermuda Company Registration No. 42425 and Malaysia Foreign Company

Registration No. 995199-H) was incorporated in Bermuda on 18 September 2008 under the

Bermuda Companies Act as an exempted company with limited liability under the name of Multi

Sports Holdings Ltd and is listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.

The registered offices of the Company in Bermuda and Malaysia are Clarendon House, 2 Church

Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda and Level 18, The Gardens North Tower, Mid Valley City,

Lingkaran Syed Putra, 59200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, respectively. The principal place of business

of the Company is located at No. 18, Yongjun Road, Xibin Farm, Xibin Town, Jinjiang City, Fujian

Province, the People's Republic of China (“PRC”).

The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The principal activities of its subsidiaries

are disclosed in Note6 to the financial statements.

Going Concern

The financial statements of the Group and statement of financial position of the Company have been

prepared on the assumption that the Group and Company will continue as going concerns. The

application of the going concern basis is based on the assumption that the Group and Company will

be able to realise their assets and liquidate their liabilities in the normal course of business.

During the current financial year, the Group and Company incurred net losses amounting to

approximately RMB 28,785,000 and RMB 2,489,000 respectively. During the current financial year,

the Group incurred negative operating cash flows of approximately RMB 35,981,000.

The external auditors, Messrs. RT LLP, issued an disclaimer opinion on property, plant and

equipment, land use rights, investment in subsidiaries, inventories, trade and other receivables, cash

and cash equivalents, trade and other payables, borrowings, tax provision, advertising expenses,

loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment,litigation cases, events occurring after reporting

period, risk due to fraud, internal control and employees share option scheme as the external

auditors have raised significant issues from their audit on these areas. Those issues may have a

significant impact on the recorded assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the Group and

Company.

The above conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant

doubt about the Group’s and the Company’s abilities to continue as going concerns.

Notes to the financial statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2015

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2 (a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting

Standards (“IFRS”) including related Interpretations promulgated by the IFRS Interpretation

Committee (“IFRIC”) applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements have

been prepared under the historical cost convention, except as disclosed in the accounting policies

below.

On 1 January 2015, the Company and the Group adopted the new or amended IFRS and IFRIC

interpretations that are mandatory for application from that date. Changes to the Company’s and the

Group’s accounting policies have been made as required, in accordance with the transitional

provisions in the respective IFRSs and IFRIC interpretations.

The adoption of these new or amended IFRS and IFRIC Interpretations did not result in substantial

changes to the Company’s and the Group’s accounting policies and had no material effect on the

amounts reported for the current or prior financial years.

The Group’s principal operations are conducted in the PRC and thus the financial statements are

presented in Renminbi (RMB), being the functional and presentation currency of all the operating

subsidiaries of the Group. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand (RMB’000) except when

otherwise indicated.

Significant accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of, estimates,

assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure

of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period and the reported amounts of

revenues and expenses during the financial year. Although these estimates are based on

management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may differ from those

estimates. Estimates, assumptions and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on

historical experiences and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to

be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical judgements made and key sources of estimation uncertainty in applying accounting

policies

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful

lives. Management estimates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment to be within 3 to 20

years. The carrying amounts of the Group’s property, plant and equipment as at 31 December 2015

and 31 December 2014 were approximately RMB 290,197,000 and RMB 260,078,000 respectively.

Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic

useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be

revised.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Critical judgements made and key sources of estimation uncertainty inapplyingaccounting

policies (Cont’d)

Allowance for bad and doubtful debts

Allowances for bad and doubtful debts are based on an assessment of the recoverability of trade

and other receivables. The carrying amount of the Group’s trade and other receivables as at 31

December 2015 and 31 December 2014 were approximately RMB 174,173,000 and RMB

135,575,000respectively. Allowances are applied to trade and other receivables where events or

changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be collectible. The identification of bad

and doubtful debts requires the use of judgment and estimates. Where the expected outcome is

different from the original estimate, such differences will impact the carrying value of trade and other

receivables and doubtful debt expenses in the period in which such estimate has been changed.

Allowance for inventory obsolescence

The Group reviews the ageing analysis of inventories at each reporting date, and makes provision

for obsolete and slow-moving inventory items identified that are no longer suitable for sale. The net

realisable value for such inventories are estimated based primarily on the latest invoice prices and

current market conditions. Possible changes in these estimates could result in revisions to the

valuation of inventories.

Impairment of investment in subsidiary

Determining whether investment in subsidiary is impaired requires an estimation of the value-in-use

of that investment. The value-in-use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows

expected from the cash-generating units and an appropriate discount rate in order to calculate the

present value of the future cash flows. The carrying amount of Company’s investment in subsidiaries

as at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014 is RMB 103,465,000.Management of subsidiaries

has evaluated the recoverability of the investment based on such estimates and concluded that no

impairment is required.

Income tax

The Group has exposure to income taxes in the PRC. Significant judgement is required in

determining the provision for income taxes. There are also claims for which the ultimate tax

determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognizes liabilities

for expected tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final

tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognized, such

differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such

determination is made.

Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of the application of IFRS 15 and IFRS 9) on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company in the period of their initial application.

2(c) Summary of significant accounting policies

Consolidation The financial statements of the Group include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made up to the end of the financial year. Information on its subsidiaries is given in Note 6. The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has right to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group entities are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated but are considered an impairment indicator of assets transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. The use of merger accounting principles has resulted in a balance on Group capital and reserves that have been classified as a merger deficit and included in the Group’s shareholders’ funds. The consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and all its subsidiary undertakings made up to the same accounting date.

In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less

allowance for any impairment losses on an individual subsidiary basis.

Notes to the financial statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2015

Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment

losses, if any. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method to write off the cost of these

assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Leasehold Buildings 20 years

Plant and machinery 5 - 10 years

Office equipment, furniture & fixtures 5 years

Moulding equipment 3 - 5 years

Motor vehicles 3-10 years

The cost of property, plant and equipment includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the

acquisition of the items. Dismantlement, removal or restoration costs are included as part of the cost

of property, plant and equipment if the obligation for dismantlement, removal or restoration is

incurred as a consequence of acquiring or using the asset.

Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment that have been recognised is

added to the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits, in

excess of the standard of performance of the asset before the expenditure was made, will flow to the

Group and the cost can be reliably measured. Other subsequent expenditure is recognised as an

expense during the financial year in which it is incurred.

For acquisitions and disposals during the financial year, depreciation is provided from the month of

acquisition and to the month before disposal respectively. Fully depreciated property, plant and

equipment are retained in the books of accounts until they are no longer in use. Depreciation

methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each

reporting date as a change in estimates.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Company’s and Group’s non-financial assets subject to impairment are

reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of

impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. If it is not

possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, then the recoverable amount of

the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs will be identified.

For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level. All individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.Any impairment loss is

charged to profit or loss unless it reverses a previous revaluation in which case it is charged to equity.

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s

carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs of

disposal and value-in-use. To determine the value-in-use, management estimates expected future

cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines a suitable interest rate in order to

calculate the present value of those cash flows. The data used for impairment testing procedures are

directly linked to the Group’s latest approved budget, adjusted as necessary to exclude the effects of

future reorganisation and asset enhancements. Discount factors are determined individually for each

cash-generating unit and reflect management’s assessment of respective risk profiles, such as

market and asset-specific risks factors.Impairment losses for cash-generating units reduce first the

carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to that cash-generating unit. Any remaining impairment

loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in the cash-generating unit. With the exception of

goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously

recognised may no longer exist. An impairment charge is reversed if the cash-generating unit’s

recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.

Notes to the financial statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2015 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Financial assets

Financial assets, other than hedging instruments, can be divided into the following categories:

financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and

receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. Financial assets are assigned to the different

categories by management on initial recognition, depending on the purpose for which the

investments were acquired. The designation of financial assets is re-evaluated and classification

may be changed at the end of each reporting period with the exception that the designation of

financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is not revocable.

All financial assets are recognised on their trade date - the date on which the Company and the

Group commit to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value,

plus directly attributable transaction costs except for financial assets at fair value through profit or

loss, which are recognised at fair value.Derecognition of financial instruments occurs when the

rights to receive cash flows from the investments expire or are transferred and substantially all of the

risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. An assessment for impairment is undertaken

at least at the end of each reporting period whether or not there is objective evidence that a financial

asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Non-compounding interest and other cash flows

resulting from holding financial assets are recognised in profit or loss when received, regardless of

how the related carrying amount of financial assets is measured Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that

are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services

directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivables. They are included in current assets,

except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are

classified as non-current assets.

Loans and receivables include trade and other receivables. They are subsequently measured at

amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. If there is objective

evidence that the asset has been impaired, the financial asset is measured at the present value of

the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. Impairment losses

are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the asset’s recoverable amount can be

related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to a restriction

that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what

the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment loss

or write back is recognised in profit or loss.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Financial liabilities

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade payables and other payables.

Financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual agreements

of the instrument. All interest related charges are recognised as an expense in “finance cost” in profit

or loss. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract

expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Trade payables and other payables are initially measured at fair value, and subsequently measured

at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are recognised initially at the fair value of proceeds received less attributable transaction

costs, if any. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost which is the initial fair value less

any principal repayments. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the

redemption value is taken to profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective

interest method. The interest expense is charged on the amortised cost over the period of the

borrowings using the effective interest method.

Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as

through the amortisation process.

Borrowings which are due to be settled within twelve months after the end of the reporting period are

included in current borrowings in the statement of financial position even though the original term

was for a period longer than twelve months and an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule

payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the end of the reporting period. Borrowings to be

settled within the Group’s normal operating cycle are classified as current. Other borrowings due to

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost incurred in bringing each

product to its present location and conditions are accounted for as follows:

(a) Raw materials at purchase cost on a weighted average basis; and

(b) Finished goods and work in progress at cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion

of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the

estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised whenthe Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result

of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be

required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The directors review the provisions annually and where in their opinion, the provision is inadequate

or excessive, due adjustment is made.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax

rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the

increase in the provision due to the passage of the time is recognised as finance costs.

Recognition of revenue

Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to

the buyer, generally when the delivery of the goods is completed. Revenue excludes value added

tax and is arrived at after deduction of trade discounts. No revenue is recognised if there are

significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the

possible return of goods.

Interest income is recognised on a time-apportioned basis using the effective interest rate method.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Cost of sales

Cost of sales comprises mainly of direct material, direct labour and manufacturing overheads. Direct

material costs are included in cost of sales based on actual consumption of raw materials for each

product sold. Direct labour and manufacturing overheads costs are included in cost of sales based

on a systematic allocation of such costs that are incurred in converting raw materials to finished

goods sold.

Income taxes

Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognised at the amount expected to be paid to

or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or

substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period

PRC corporate income tax is provided at rates applicable to an enterprise in the PRC on income for

financial reporting purpose, adjusted for income and expenses items which are not assessable or

deductible for income tax purposes.

Deferred income tax is recognised for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of

assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements except when the deferred

income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is

not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the

transaction.

A deferred income tax liability is recognised on temporary differences arising on investments in

subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary

difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

A deferred income tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit

will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised.

Deferred income tax is measured:

(i) at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised

or the deferred income tax liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been

enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period; and

(ii) based on the tax consequence that will follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the

end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities. Current and deferred income taxes are recognised as income or expense in profit or loss, except to

the extent that the tax arises from a business combination or a transaction which is recognised

directly in equity

Value-added tax

The Group’s sale of goods in the PRC are subjected to Value-added tax (“VAT”) at the applicable

tax rate of 17% for PRC domestic sales. Input VAT on purchases can be deducted from output VAT.

The net amount of VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of

“trade and other receivables” or “trade and other payables” in the statement of financial position

respectively.

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of VAT except where:

• VAT incurred on the purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation

authority, in which case VAT is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as

part of the expense item as applicable; and

• receivables and payables are stated with the amount of VAT included.

Employee benefits

Pursuant to the relevant regulations of the PRC government, the Group participates in a local

municipal government retirement benefits scheme (the “Scheme”), whereby the PRC subsidiary is

required to contribute a certain percentage of the basic salaries of its employees to the Scheme to

fund their retirement benefits. The local municipal government undertakes to assume the retirement

benefits obligations of all existing and future retired employees of the PRC subsidiary. The only

obligation of the Group with respect to the Scheme is to pay the ongoing required contributions

under the Scheme mentioned above. Contributions under the Scheme are expensed as incurred.

Employee Share Option Scheme (ESOS)

The Group operates an equity-settled, share based compensation plan. The value of the employee

services received in exchange for the grant of options is recognised as an expense with a

corresponding increase in the ESOS reserve over the vesting period. The total amount to be

recognised over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options

granted on the date of the grant. Non-market vesting conditions are included in the estimation of the

number of shares under options that are expected to become exercisable on the vesting date. At

each reporting date, the Group revises its estimates of the number of shares under options that are

expected to become exercisable on the vesting date and recognises the impact of the revision of

the estimates in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to the ESOS reserve over the

remaining vesting period. When the options are exercised, the proceeds received (net of transaction

costs) and the related balance previously recognised in the ESOS reserve are credited to share

capital account, when new ordinary shares are issued to the employees.

Key management personnel

Key management personnel are those persons having the authority and responsibility for planning,

directing and controlling the activities of the Group and Company Directors, legal representative

activities, and has five reportable operating segments as follows:

6) TPR shoe soles

TPR shoe soles are a physical mix of polymers, usually a rubber and a plastic. It combines the

functional properties of rubber and the easy processability, mouldability and recyclability of

thermoplastics. TPR-based sportsshoe soles are lightweight, durable, and flexible and provide

good traction even under cold conditions.

21. SEGMENT INFORMATION (CONT’D)

Business segment (Cont’d)

7) RB shoe soles

Natural and synthetic rubbers are used in the production of RB shoe soles. They are highly

resistant to wear and tear, possess the highest tensile strength, provide good traction and is

waterproof and weatherproof. However, they provide less dimensional stability, cushioning and

shock-absorption capabilities.

8) MD1 shoe soles

The main components of MD1 shoe soles are ethylene vinyl acetate (“EVA”) and rubber. EVA-

based sports-shoe soles are lightweight, soft, flexible, elastic, resistant to wear and tear, and are

dimensionally stable with adequate cushioning, thus serve as an excellent shock-absorber in

sportsshoe soles.

9) MD2 shoe soles

The main components of MD 2 shoe soles are similar to MD 1 shoe soles, but are produced

using a distinct production process with equipment that are technologically more advanced than

MD1 shoe soles and as such, has greater variability in designs and improved quality control.

10) Apparels and accessories

The main component is men’s fashion wear and accessories.

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of

making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is

evaluated based on operating profit or loss which in certain respects, as explained in the table below,

is measured differently from operating profit or loss in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Group

income taxes are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.

Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm’s length basis in a manner similar to

transaction with third parties, if any.

Geographical segment

As the business of the Group is engaged entirely in the PRC, no reporting by geographical location

of operation is presented.

There is no single segment which account for more than 10% of revenue.

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Group’s financial

instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

The Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from bank deposits placed with the financial

institutions and interest-bearing bank borrowings.

The Group’s exposures to interest rate risk from the interest-bearing bank borrowings are

minimal as the Group’s policy is to maintain the borrowings on a fixed rate basis. The Group

does not have investment in other financial assets.

(ii) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to

changes in foreign exchange rates. Foreign currency risk arises when transactions are

denominated in foreign currencies. The Group carries out its business in the PRC and most of

the transactions are denominated in Renminbi. Accordingly, the Group’s exposure to risk

resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates is minimal.

(iii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as and

when they fall due. The Group’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity

requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity

requirement in the short and long term. The Group’s financial liabilities are repayable within 12

months.

(iv) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if the counterparty fails to meet its contractual

obligations. The carrying amounts of trade receivables and other receivables represent the

Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to its financial assets. The Group does not

have significant concentrations of credit risk as no individual customer form more than 5% of the

trade receivables balance as at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014, respectively.

The Group performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers’ financial condition and requires

no collateral from its customers. The allowance for doubtful debts is based upon a review of the

expected collectability of all trade and other receivables. There is no impairment loss

recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as majority of the receivables are

collected within the credit period granted and directors expect all balances to be recoverable.

Further quantitative disclosure in respect of the Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from

trade and other receivables are set out in Note 8.

Cash and cash balances of the Group are to be held by reputable financial institutions.

(v) Fair value

The fair values of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities are not materially different from

their carrying amounts because of the immediate or short term maturity of these financial

instruments.

(vi) Price risk

Price risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in

market prices whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual security or

its issuer or factors affecting all securities traded in the market.

The Group does not hold any quoted or marketable financial instrument, hence is not exposed to

any movement in market prices.

PRODUCTS

For management purposes, during the financial year the Group was organized into business units based on

their business activities, and has five reportable operating segments producing the following products:

1) TPR shoe soles

TPR shoe soles are a physical mix of polymers, usually a rubber and a plastic. It combines

the functional properties of rubber and the easy processability, mouldability and recyclability

of thermoplastics. TPR-based sports shoe soles are lightweight, durable, and flexible and

provide good traction even under cold conditions.

2) RB shoe soles

Natural and synthetic rubbers are used in the production of RB shoe soles. They are highly

resistant to wear and tear, possess the highest tensile strength, provide good traction and is

waterproof and weatherproof. However, they provide less dimensional stability, cushioning

and shock-absorption capabilities.

3) MD1 shoe soles

The main components of MD1 shoe soles are ethylene vinyl acetate (“EVA”) and rubber.

EVA-based sports-shoe soles are lightweight, soft, flexible, elastic, resistant to wear and

tear, and are dimensionally stable with adequate cushioning, thus serve as an excellent

shock-absorber in sports shoe soles.

4) MD2 shoe soles

The main components of MD 2 shoe soles are similar to MD 1 shoe soles, but are produced

using a distinct production process with equipment that are technologically more advanced

than MD1 shoe soles and as such, has greater variability in designs and improved quality

control.

5) Apparels and accessories

The main component is men’s fashion wear and accessories.

NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS STATEMENT We, the non-executive Directors of Multi Sports Holdings Limited (the Company) recently appointed by the shareholders of the Company on 4 October 2016 at a Special General Meeting (the new Directors) wish to make the following statement in relation to the 2015 Audited Accounts:

1. This 2015 Annual Report is being released 22 months after the end of the financial year. As the shareholders will be aware, the previous 22 months have been a tumultuous period for the Company, having seen the resignation of directors and advisors; the auditors being unable to carry out confirmations of the Company’s cash bank balances in China; the Company’s suspension by Bursa Malaysia for failure to release the 2015 accounts; potential de-listing of the Company; and Bursa enforcement action against the Company including a public reprimand, and the imposition of fines of RM1,656,000 each on Lin Houzhi and Lin Liying, the Executive Directors in China.

2. We appreciate that Shareholders are impatient for a full explanation and seek accountability. The release of this 2015 Annual Report is a significant step towards regularization of the Company however there is much work to be done and the process of investigating and unravelling what transpired in China has to be completed.

3. The Auditors have given a disclaimer of opinion in their report on the 2015 Audit highlighting the uncertainties summarized below:

I. Property, plant and equipment and land use rights - Inability to contact management of Jinjiang Baixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd (“Baixing”), Fujian Evidoma Ltd (“Evidoma”), Fujian Qingte Investment Ltd (“Qingte”) and Quanzhou Sente Trading Ltd (“Sente”) (“subsidiaries”) (entities which held the Group’s property, plant and equipment and land use rights) to audit the existence and control of these rights; determine their continued recognition as assets; or the recoverable amount of or allowance for impairment.

II. Subsidiaries - Inability to contact the management of subsidiaries to determine whether the Company had control over those subsidiaries or ascertain the ownership and recoverable amount of those subsidiaries or to complete the audit on the subsidiaries.

III. Inventories - Inability to obtain appropriate supporting evidence from Baixing and Evidoma (entities which held the Group’s inventories) since end of April 2016 or ascertain whether the Group still had ownership of those inventories.

IV. Trade and other receivables - Inability to obtain sufficient audit evidence to test samples of trade and other receivable or to perform alternative procedures to test the existence and recoverability of those samples.

V. Cash and cash equivalents - Inability to perform audit procedures on cash and cash equivalents in China in order to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence as to the existence of the bank balances in the current account amounting to RMB 496,480,000 as at 31 December 2015.

VI. Trade and other payables - The Group reported trade and other payables of RMB 88,917,000 which represented 87% of total liabilities. The Auditors had selected samples of creditors and circularised confirmations but did not receive reasonable assurance over the completeness of those creditor balances.

VII. Borrowings - Inability to carry out audit procedures to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine the existence, quantum and completeness of the bank borrowings, which amounted to RMB 11,500,000 as 31 December 2015.

VIII. Tax provision - In view of the above, the auditors were unable to determine the consequential tax impact arising from any necessary adjustments and the appropriateness / completeness of disclosures made in the financial statements.

IX. Advertising expenses - During the financial year ended 31 December 2015, Fujian Evidoma Ltd, a subsidiary of the Company, incurred Advertising and Promotion Expenses of RMB 34,980,000 for which the Auditors were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to allow the Auditors to determine the effect of adjustments, if any, on the financial statements of the Group.

X. Loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment - The amount of loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment was approximately RMB 3,062,000 during the financial year however the Auditors were unable to ascertain or obtain reasonable assurance over the completeness of those transactions.

XI. Litigation - The Auditors were informed by the new non-executive Directors that legal claims appear to have been brought by certain parties against Jinjiang Baixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd Lin Huo Zhi and Lin Liying (the Executive Directors of the Company). Since the new board of Directors have not completed their investigations and are currently unable to provide the required information and comprehensive legal advice, the Auditors are unable to assess the completeness of all legal cases, extent of liabilities, including contingent liabilities that may arise.

XII. Going Concern - The issues raised above indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s and Company’s ability to continue as going concerns and due to the Auditor’s inability to contact the management of the subsidiaries, they were unable to determine whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate.

XIII. Events occurring after the reporting period - Inability to complete all their audit procedures for events occurring after the reporting period necessary to determine whether all significant events occurring after the reporting period had been adequately dealt with in the financial statements with respect to disclosures, presentation and adjusting subsequent events.

XIV. Risk due to fraud - Inability to obtain disclosure from management of the subsidiaries regarding the results of their assessment of the risk that the financial statements may be materially misstated as a result of fraud.

XV. Internal Control - Inability to obtain sufficient assurance that there are no material weaknesses in the system of internal accounting controls or that there is no risk that the financial statements may be materially misstated as a result of fraud.

4. In the circumstances, we wholly support their decision and are grateful for their assistance in identifying key issues for further action and investigation.

5. We have been faced with the same obstacles as the Auditors in terms of accessing and verifying information and as explained below, have also been unable to express an unqualified opinion on the financial statements, which were prepared and submitted to the Auditors for audit by the Board in office during the financial year.

Background to appointment

6. On 4 October, 2016, six new non-executive directors were appointed by the shareholders of the Company at a specially convened general meeting and given a mandate to carry out an independent investigation of the Company’s and group’s affairs.

7. The move to appoint new Malaysian directors was due to the failure of the then board of directors to release the 2015 audited accounts, leading to the suspension of the shares from the main board of the Malaysian Stock Exchange.

8. Shareholders were concerned by the auditor’s inability to confirm the company’s substantial bank balances in China (amongst other items) and resignation of directors/advisors in 2015 and early 2016, including two Malaysian Independent Directors, the CFO, the Company Secretary in Malaysia and the agent in Bermuda.

Status of Company upon appointment

9. Multi Sports Holdings Limited (the Company) is a Bermuda registered holding Company with agents in Bermuda; subsidiaries in Hong Kong and China with a separate company secretary; auditors in China; auditors in Singapore for the holding company, Legal Representative in China, company secretary in Malaysia; and regulators in Malaysia where the company is listed. Our attempt to exercise control over the Company and secure the cooperation of relevant parties has been marked by delays and continues to be challenging till today.

10. When the new directors took office, they found that the Company did not have an operational office or staff in Malaysia and as such, the new directors have had to operate independently and without access to management / administrative support or to Company funding. The new Directors and the Auditors of the Company have also not been able to establish proper communications with the Chairman, the CEO and other key management of the Company.

11. The Company also faced delisting by Bursa Malaysia for the failure to release the 2015 annual report, which had already led to the Company’s suspension.

12. We found that both the Company’s Auditor and Secretary in Bermuda had outstanding fees owing to them:

12.1. Although the Auditor met with and assisted the new directors with information and documents, the outstanding fees owed to the Auditor prevented the new directors from recommencing work to finalise the accounts. It was not until 8 September 2017 that the new directors were able to agree and secure funds for a settlement of fees due to the Auditor to allow works to continue.

12.2. The resignation of the previous secretary in Bermuda and the outstanding fees owed to them prevented the appointment of a new secretary in Bermuda and in order to start the regularization of the Company, the new directors dealt directly with the Company Registry in Bermuda as the Company also had outstanding registration fees due to the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda.

13. The Company’s finances in China were under the control of Lin Liying and Lin Houzhi, both of whom would or should have known that the failure to make the abovementioned payments and release the accounts would risk causing the Company to be delisted or de-registered.

14. The Chairman did not respond to the Auditors and our requests for a meeting and the CEO refused to discuss the audit issues or facilitate the confirmations required by the auditors on the basis that there was no point because the company was going to be delisted.

Ongoing Investigations

15. Investigations into the Company’s affairs are ongoing and it is not appropriate to report on them until confirmed and complete. Information regarding legal action taken against the operating subsidiaries in China has however been published in China and it is appropriate to relate this information to Malaysian shareholders - The following is a list of legal action in China stated to involve the main subsidiary Jinjian Baixing as a defendant, as published on a Government of the People’s Republic of China website: http://zhixing.court.gov.cn/search/; and or on Openlaw.cn a non-governmental , open source Chinese case law database.

Postponement of De-listing

16. On 4 July 2017 Bursa Malaysia served a notice to show cause against de-listing of the Company from the Main Board of the Malaysian Stock Exchange for failure to submit the 2015 Audited accounts and the subsequent quarterly financial reports. The 2015 financial statements had already been submitted to the auditors by the board in office during that financial year and the draft audit had been prepared.

17. The new Directors secured a postponement of delisting for six months subject to the release of this 2015 audited accounts by 9 October 2017 and all other outstanding financial statements (other than the AR 2015) on or before 28 February 2018.

18. The new Directors had prior to the postponement being granted, informed Bursa Malaysia that the 2015 accounts would need to be heavily qualified or disclaimed due to the circumstances as outlined in the Auditors’ Report and also that the investigations and action that needed to be completed in respect of the subsidiaries in China would only be able to be carried out after the period allowed for the submission of the 2015 Annual Report.

19. To comply with the conditions for postponement of de-listing, the new Directors re-engaged the Auditors, RT LLP in Singapore to complete the 2015 Audit that already been prepared in draft form under the previous board.

20. Due to the circumstances stated above and our inability to review and independently test the financial information prepared by the previous management under the control of Lin Liying and Lin Houzhi and submitted to the Company’s auditors for auditing, the new non-executive Directors are unable to express an unqualified opinion on this report.

Going Forward

21. Given the circumstances faced by the new Directors and the limited resources available, a key priority has been to focus on releasing the 2015 accounts to prevent the Company’s delisting from Bursa and to regularize and maintain the Company’s registration in Bermuda.

22. With the release of the 2015 Annual Report, the new Directors can now focus on completing the investigation and regularization in China and reporting to the authorities so that action can be taken as appropriate; and the regularization and restructuring of the Company necessary to maintain its Bursa Listing for the benefit of the Shareholders.

Inability to provide Statement on Company’s affairs

For reasons stated above and due to the inability to gain access to the Executive Chairman, Directors and

former officers of the Company and the books and records of the Company, the newly appointed Non-

Executive Board of Directors are unable to express an opinion on this report which was prepared based on

financial statements and information prepared under the control of the previous board and submitted to the

Company’s auditors for auditing.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT The new Directors of Multi Sports recognise the importance of good corporate governance in running the operations of the Group and in all of its dealings and are mindful of the trust and expectations placed upon their shoulders by the shareholders and stakeholders. In fulfilling the respective fiduciary duties, the principles of transparency, integrity and professionalism should rightfully be incorporated into all levels of the Group’s corporate hierarchy. In view of the failure by the Executive Directors and former Independent Directors of the Group to release the 2015 Audited Accounts, shareholders of the Company appointed 6 new Independent Directors at a specially convened shareholders meeting on 4 October, 2016. The appointment of the new Independent Directors was to safeguard the interest of shareholders and ensure proper governance. The newly appointed Board of Directors have taken steps to comply with the best practices of principles of good corporate governance as set out in the Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance 2012 (the “Code”) and the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad but realistically, the objective will only be possible once the investigation and regularisation of the Company is completed so that there can be application of the code in substance throughout the Company/Group as opposed to being applied in form only. It is with this mandate in mind that the present Board of Directors hereby reports its findings to the shareholders on the manner of application of these principles contained in the Code to the best of its ability and with the limited information available on hand for the financial year ended in this report: 1. Establish Clear Roles and Responsibilities 1.1 Clear Functions of the Board and Management

The Board of Directors who are signing off on these accounts were appointed on 4 October, 2016 and did not have any responsibility for the Group’s overall strategy, growth and direction including its financial performance as well as management supervision during the financial period reported in these accounts. Attempts by the Company’s auditors to contact the Executive Directors and the Management have been futile. Repeated requests by the newly appointed Board of Directors to meet with the Chairman and CEO have been unsuccessful. For the financial year ended 31 December, 2015 as reported in these accounts, the Board was led by an Executive Chairman while executive management of the Company was ledby the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The Executive Chairman was responsible for running the Board and should have ensured that all Directors receive sufficient relevant information on financial and non-financial matters to enable them to participate actively in Board decisions and in fulfilling its responsibilities to the stakeholders. The CEO’s role was to oversee the day-to-day operations and implementation of the Board’s corporate and operational policies and strategies. In line with the pre-determined authority levels, certain issues such as approval of interim and annual results, significant acquisitions and disposals, long-term planning and major capital expenditure were subject to collective decision by the Board. The Directors should have met, reviewed and approved all corporate announcements before releasing them to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad and Taiwan Stock Exchange. The previous Board had established three (3) committees namely Audit Committee, Nomination Committee and Remuneration Committee. Certain responsibilities are delegated to the Audit Committee which operates within clearly defined parameters as set out in the Audit Committee’s Terms of Reference. This was for an added degree of independence and objectivity on matters within the ambit of the Audit Committee.

14

Nomination Committee and Remuneration Committee were set up to assist in discharging its duties and responsibilities as set out in the Board Charter and respective Terms of Reference. The three (3) Committees set up to assist the Board have specific powers and responsibilities. The Chairman of the respective committees’ reports the outcome of decisions and recommendations to the Board and minutes of committees’ meetings would be tabled for the Board’s notation. Notwithstanding recommendations from the Committees, the ultimate decision on all matters lies with the entire Board that was appointed as at 31 December, 2015.

the disclaimers by the Auditors. There may be additional circumstances as yet unknown or unconfirmed that

management of Multi Sports Holdings Ltd effective 4 October, 2016, do solemnly and sincerely declare to the

best of my knowledge and belief:

that it is my opinion that the accompanying financial statements and the consolidated balance sheet and

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MULTI SPORTS HOLDINGS LTD

Report on the financial statements

We were engaged to audit the financial statements of Multi Sports Holdings Ltd (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the statements of financial position of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2015, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows of the Group for the financial year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements and the statement of financial position of the Company that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). The directors are also responsible for such internal controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Because of the matters described in the Bases for Disclaimer of opinion paragraphs, however, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.

Bases for Disclaimer of Opinion

1. Property, plant and equipment and land use rights

As at 31 December 2015, the Group’s carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment and land use rights amounted to RMB 290,197,000 and RMB 642,000 respectively, which collectively represented 29% of total assets. Since end of April 2016, we have not been able to contact management of JinjiangBaixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd (“Baixing”), Fujian Evidoma Ltd (“Evidoma”), Fujian Qingte Investment Ltd (“Qingte”) and Quanzhou Sente Trading Ltd (“Sente”) (entities which held the Group’s property, plant and equipment and land use rights) to perform additional audit procedures on the existence of these property, plant and equipment and land use rights and whether the Group still had control over those assets. Existence and control over property, plant and equipment and land use rights are critical to the determination of whether the Group can derive economic benefits from those assets. Accordingly, we were unable to determine whether property, plant and equipment and land use rights should continue to be recognised as assets.

In addition, management has also not determined the recoverable amount of, nor assessed for any allowance for impairment of property, plant and equipment and land use rights. Consequently, we were unable to perform alternative audit procedures to assess the appropriateness of the carrying amounts of the property, plant and equipment and land use rights.

2. Subsidiaries

i) Investment in subsidiaries

Since end of April 2016, we have not been able to establish contact with the management of Baixing, Evidoma, Qingte and Sente and therefore were not able to determine whether the Company had control over those subsidiaries. Accordingly, we were not able to ascertain the ownership and recoverable amount of those subsidiaries.

As disclosed in Note 6 to the financial statements, the audit of the subsidiary companies, namely Pak Sing Shoe Material (H.K) Limited, Jinjiang Baixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd, Fujian Evidoma Ltd, Fujian Qingte Investment Ltd and Quanzhou SenteTrading Ltd (collectively “subsidiaries”) was unable to be completed due to insufficient documents and information, and no audited financial statements being available for the financial year ended 31 December 2015. The financial position and results of these subsidiary companies had been consolidated based on the latest available management financial statements received by us from the Executive Directors.

(Continued)

Report on the financial statements (Cont’d)

Bases for Disclaimer of Opinion

2. Subsidiaries (Cont’d)

i) Investment in subsidiaries (Cont’d)

We were unable to carry out procedures or to obtain information we consider necessary on the management financial statements of these subsidiary companies during our audit of the financial statements of the Group. Therefore, we could not determine the effect of adjustments, if any, on the financial statements of the Group.

The Company’s carrying amount of amount due from a subsidiary as at 31 December 2015 amounted to RMB 36,845,000. As disclosed in Note 8 to the financial statements, the Company has not determined the recoverable amount of, nor assessed for any allowance for amount due from a subsidiary as at 31 December 2015. Consequently, we were unable to perform any alternative audit procedures to assess the appropriateness of the carrying amount of the amount due from a subsidiary.

As disclosed in Note 6to the financial statements, included in carrying amount of investment in subsidiary companies is an amount of RMB 103,465,000 representing the investment cost in Pak Sing Shoe Material (H.K) Limited, JinjiangBaixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd, Fujian Evidoma Ltd, Fujian Qingte Investment Ltd and Quanzhou Sente Trading Ltd which represented 32.9% of the total assets of the Company.

3. Inventories

As at 31 December 2015, the Group’s inventories has a carrying amount of RMB 11,238,000 (Note 7) which represented 1% of total assets. In relation to the audit of inventories, we had selected samples for audit testing of whether inventories are stated appropriately at the lower of cost and net realisable value but were not provided appropriate supporting evidence. We had not been able to contact the management of Baixing and Evidoma (entities which held the Group’s inventories) since end ofApril 2016. Therefore, we were unable to ascertain whether the Group still had ownership of those inventories.

4. Trade and other receivables

As stated in Note 8 to the financial statements, the Group’s trade receivables of RMB 173,627,000 represented 18% of total assets as at 31 December 2015. We had selected samples for the purpose of our audit but were unable to obtain sufficient audit evidenceand we were not able to perform alternative procedures over the existence and recoverability of those samples.

5. Cash and cash equivalents

The management of Pak Sing Shoe Material (H.K) Limited, Jinjiang Baixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd (“Baixing”), Fujian Evidoma Ltd (“Evidoma”), Fujian Qingte Investment Ltd (“Qingte”) and Quanzhou Sente Trading Ltd (“Sente”) (collectively “subsidiaries”) had not responded to certain of our audit procedures to be performed on cash and cash equivalents and there were no acceptable alternatives to these procedures. Consequently, we were unable to carry out our audit procedures to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to satisfy ourselves as to the existence of the bank balances in the current account amounting to RMB 496,480,000 (see Note 9) as at 31 December 2015.

6. Trade and other payables

The Group reported trade and other payables of RMB 90,871,000 which represented 87% of total liabilities. We had selected samples of creditors and circularised confirmations but did not received replies for all the samples and were not able to perform alternative audit procedures. Therefore, we were not able to obtain reasonable assurance over the completeness of those creditor balances.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MULTI SPORTS HOLDINGS LTD

(Continued)

Report on the financial statements (Cont’d)

Bases for Disclaimer of Opinion

7. Borrowings

In addition, we were also unable to carry out our audit procedures to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine the existence, quantum and completeness of the bank borrowings, which amounted to RMB 11,500,000 (see Note 13 and 27) as 31 December 2015.

8. Tax provision

In view of the above paragraphs of Bases for Disclaimer of Opinion, we were also unable to determine the consequential tax impact arising from any necessary adjustments and the appropriateness and completeness of disclosures made in the financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2015.

9. Advertising expenses

As disclosed in Note 16 to the financial statements, during the financial year ended 31 December 2015, Fujian Evidoma Ltd, a subsidiary of the Company, incurred Advertising and Promotion Expenses of RMB 34,980,000. The Company was unable to provide complete supporting documents for the Advertising and Promotion Expenses. We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence on the Advertising and Promotion Expenses. Therefore, we could not determine the effect of adjustments, if any, on the financial statements of the Group.

10. Loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment

As disclosed in Note 16 to the financial statements, the amount of loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment was approximately RMB 3,062,000 during the financial year. Management was unable to provide the required information to assess the completeness of the transactions. Therefore, we were unable to ascertain orobtain reasonable assurance over the completeness of those transactions which resulted in loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment.

11. Litigation

We were informed by the new non-executive Directors that, during and subsequent to the financial year ended 31 December 2015, legal claims appear to have beenbrought by certain parties against Jinjiang Baixing Shoe Material Co.,Ltd (“Baixing”), Fujian Evidoma Ltd (“Evidoma”), Quanzhou Sente Trading Ltd (“Sente”), Lin HuoZhi and LinLiying (theExecutive Directors of the Company), on certain loan contracts and sale and purchase contracts. The board of directors of the Company have not completed their investigations and are currently unable to provide the required information and comprehensive legal advice to allow us to assess the completeness of all legal cases, extent of liabilities, including contingent liabilities that may arise from these legal claims.

Without full information on those legal cases (see Note 27) and we had not been able to contact the management of Baixing and Evidoma since end of April 2016, management of subsidiaries was unable to determine whether any further provision would be required in respect of those legal casesor reasonable assurance over the completeness of provision for any outstanding legal cases.

12. Going Concern

As disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements of the Group and the statement of financial position of the Company have been prepared on the assumption that the Group and Company will continue as going concerns. The application of the going concern basis is based on the assumption that the Group will be able to realise their assets and liquidate their liabilities in the normal course of business.

As disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements, there are conditions which indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s and Company’s ability to continue as going concerns.

Since end of April 2016, we were not able to contact the management of Baixing, Evidoma and Sente (active subsidiaries of the Group) and were thus unable to obtain reasonable assurance of whether the Group still had ownership of the assets held by those entities. The ability of the Group and Company to continue as going concerns depends on whether the Group and Company are able to exert legal ownership rights over those assets and continue to have sustainable operations. Accordingly, we were unable to determine whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate.

13. Events occurring after the reporting period

We were unable to complete all our audit procedures for events occurring after the reporting period, which we considered necessary to satisfy ourselves on the significant matters occurring after the reporting period with respect to items recorded or unrecorded as at 31 December 2015. Accordingly, in view of the limitation of scope, we were unable to determine whether all significant events occurring after the reporting period had been adequately dealt with in these financial statements (see Note 29) with respect to disclosures, presentation and adjusting subsequent events.

14. Risk due to fraud

We were unable to receive the disclosure from management of subsidiaries regarding the results of their assessment of the risk that the financial statements may be materially misstated as a result of fraud. We were not informed by management that they have no knowledge of any significant facts relating to any frauds or suspected frauds known that may involve: i) management; ii) employees who have significant roles in internal controls or; iii) others where the fraud could have a material effect on the financial statements. Accordingly, we could not assure any allegations of fraud, or suspected fraud, affecting the Company’s financial statements communicated by employees, former employees, analysts, regulators or others.

15. Internal Control

Management is unable to acknowledge their responsibilities for the design, implementation and maintenance of accounting and internal control systems that are designed to prevent and detect fraud and error. Management is unable to acknowledge their responsibilities for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls, the objectives of which are to provide us with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorised use or disposition and that transactions are executed as authorised and recorded properly to permit preparations of such financial statements. Management is not able to assure us that there are no material weaknesses in the system of internal accounting controls, including any of which they believe the cost of corrective actions exceeds the benefits. Management did not assess and conclude that there is no risk that the financial statements may be materially misstated as a result of fraud.

16. Employee Share Option Scheme (“ESOS”)

We were unable to determine whether the RMB5,212,000 (Note 16) recognised as an expense with a

corresponding increase in the ESOS reserve (Note 11) complies with the recognition and measurement

requirements of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment. In addition, management of subsidiaries has not

complied with the following presentation and disclosure requirements of IFRS 2:

• A description of the ESOS, including the general terms and conditions of the ESOS such as

vesting requirements, the maximum term of options granted, and the method of settlement;

• The number and weighted average exercise prices of share options outstanding at the beginning of the period, granted during the period, forfeited during the period, exercised during the period, expired during the period, and outstanding at the end of the period; and

• The option pricing model used and the inputs to that model, including the weighted average share price, exercise price, expected volatility, option life, expected dividends, the risk-free interest rate and any other inputs to the model, including the method used and the assumptions made to incorporate the effects of expected early exercise.

Disclaimer of Opinion

Because of the significance of the matters described in the Bases for Disclaimer of Opinion paragraphs, we

have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.

Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the accompanying financial statements of the Group and the

Company.

Notes to the financial statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2015

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Corporate Information

The financial statements of the Company and of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2015

were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the directors on the date of the

Statement by Directors.

The Company (Bermuda Company Registration No. 42425 and Malaysia Foreign Company

Registration No. 995199-H) was incorporated in Bermuda on 18 September 2008 under the

Bermuda Companies Act as an exempted company with limited liability under the name of Multi

Sports Holdings Ltd and is listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.

The registered offices of the Company in Bermuda and Malaysia are Clarendon House, 2 Church

Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda and Level 18, The Gardens North Tower, Mid Valley City,

Lingkaran Syed Putra, 59200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, respectively. The principal place of business

of the Company is located at No. 18, Yongjun Road, Xibin Farm, Xibin Town, Jinjiang City, Fujian

Province, the People's Republic of China (“PRC”).

The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The principal activities of its subsidiaries

are disclosed in Note6 to the financial statements.

Going Concern

The financial statements of the Group and statement of financial position of the Company have been

prepared on the assumption that the Group and Company will continue as going concerns. The

application of the going concern basis is based on the assumption that the Group and Company will

be able to realise their assets and liquidate their liabilities in the normal course of business.

During the current financial year, the Group and Company incurred net losses amounting to

approximately RMB 28,785,000 and RMB 2,489,000 respectively. During the current financial year,

the Group incurred negative operating cash flows of approximately RMB 35,981,000.

The external auditors, Messrs. RT LLP, issued an disclaimer opinion on property, plant and

equipment, land use rights, investment in subsidiaries, inventories, trade and other receivables, cash

and cash equivalents, trade and other payables, borrowings, tax provision, advertising expenses,

loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment,litigation cases, events occurring after reporting

period, risk due to fraud, internal control and employees share option scheme as the external

auditors have raised significant issues from their audit on these areas. Those issues may have a

significant impact on the recorded assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the Group and

Company.

The above conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant

doubt about the Group’s and the Company’s abilities to continue as going concerns.

Notes to the financial statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2015

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2 (a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting

Standards (“IFRS”) including related Interpretations promulgated by the IFRS Interpretation

Committee (“IFRIC”) applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements have

been prepared under the historical cost convention, except as disclosed in the accounting policies

below.

On 1 January 2015, the Company and the Group adopted the new or amended IFRS and IFRIC

interpretations that are mandatory for application from that date. Changes to the Company’s and the

Group’s accounting policies have been made as required, in accordance with the transitional

provisions in the respective IFRSs and IFRIC interpretations.

The adoption of these new or amended IFRS and IFRIC Interpretations did not result in substantial

changes to the Company’s and the Group’s accounting policies and had no material effect on the

amounts reported for the current or prior financial years.

The Group’s principal operations are conducted in the PRC and thus the financial statements are

presented in Renminbi (RMB), being the functional and presentation currency of all the operating

subsidiaries of the Group. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand (RMB’000) except when

otherwise indicated.

Significant accounting estimates, assumptions and judgements

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of, estimates,

assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure

of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period and the reported amounts of

revenues and expenses during the financial year. Although these estimates are based on

management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may differ from those

estimates. Estimates, assumptions and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on

historical experiences and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to

be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical judgements made and key sources of estimation uncertainty in applying accounting

policies

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful

lives. Management estimates the useful lives of property, plant and equipment to be within 3 to 20

years. The carrying amounts of the Group’s property, plant and equipment as at 31 December 2015

and 31 December 2014 were approximately RMB 290,197,000 and RMB 260,078,000 respectively.

Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the economic

useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be

revised.

Notes to the financial statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2015

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Critical judgements made and key sources of estimation uncertainty inapplyingaccounting

policies (Cont’d)

Allowance for bad and doubtful debts

Allowances for bad and doubtful debts are based on an assessment of the recoverability of trade

and other receivables. The carrying amount of the Group’s trade and other receivables as at 31

December 2015 and 31 December 2014 were approximately RMB 174,173,000 and RMB

135,575,000respectively. Allowances are applied to trade and other receivables where events or

changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be collectible. The identification of bad

and doubtful debts requires the use of judgment and estimates. Where the expected outcome is

different from the original estimate, such differences will impact the carrying value of trade and other

receivables and doubtful debt expenses in the period in which such estimate has been changed.

Allowance for inventory obsolescence

The Group reviews the ageing analysis of inventories at each reporting date, and makes provision

for obsolete and slow-moving inventory items identified that are no longer suitable for sale. The net

realisable value for such inventories are estimated based primarily on the latest invoice prices and

current market conditions. Possible changes in these estimates could result in revisions to the

valuation of inventories.

Impairment of investment in subsidiary

Determining whether investment in subsidiary is impaired requires an estimation of the value-in-use

of that investment. The value-in-use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows

expected from the cash-generating units and an appropriate discount rate in order to calculate the

present value of the future cash flows. The carrying amount of Company’s investment in subsidiaries

as at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014 is RMB 103,465,000.Management of subsidiaries

has evaluated the recoverability of the investment based on such estimates and concluded that no

impairment is required.

Income tax

The Group has exposure to income taxes in the PRC. Significant judgement is required in

determining the provision for income taxes. There are also claims for which the ultimate tax

determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognizes liabilities

for expected tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final

tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognized, such

differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such

determination is made.

Consolidation The financial statements of the Group include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made up to the end of the financial year. Information on its subsidiaries is given in Note 6. The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has right to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group entities are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated but are considered an impairment indicator of assets transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. The use of merger accounting principles has resulted in a balance on Group capital and reserves that have been classified as a merger deficit and included in the Group’s shareholders’ funds. The consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and all its subsidiary undertakings made up to the same accounting date.

In the Company’s separate financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less

allowance for any impairment losses on an individual subsidiary basis.

Notes to the financial statements For the financial year ended 31 December 2015

Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment

losses, if any. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method to write off the cost of these

assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Leasehold Buildings 20 years

Plant and machinery 5 - 10 years

Office equipment, furniture & fixtures 5 years

Moulding equipment 3 - 5 years

Motor vehicles 3-10 years

The cost of property, plant and equipment includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the

acquisition of the items. Dismantlement, removal or restoration costs are included as part of the cost

of property, plant and equipment if the obligation for dismantlement, removal or restoration is

incurred as a consequence of acquiring or using the asset.

Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment that have been recognised is

added to the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that future economic benefits, in

excess of the standard of performance of the asset before the expenditure was made, will flow to the

Group and the cost can be reliably measured. Other subsequent expenditure is recognised as an

expense during the financial year in which it is incurred.

For acquisitions and disposals during the financial year, depreciation is provided from the month of

acquisition and to the month before disposal respectively. Fully depreciated property, plant and

equipment are retained in the books of accounts until they are no longer in use. Depreciation

methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each

reporting date as a change in estimates.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Company’s and Group’s non-financial assets subject to impairment are

reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of

impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. If it is not

possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, then the recoverable amount of

the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs will be identified.

For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level. All individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.Any impairment loss is

charged to profit or loss unless it reverses a previous revaluation in which case it is charged to equity.

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s

carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs of

disposal and value-in-use. To determine the value-in-use, management estimates expected future

cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines a suitable interest rate in order to

calculate the present value of those cash flows. The data used for impairment testing procedures are

directly linked to the Group’s latest approved budget, adjusted as necessary to exclude the effects of

future reorganisation and asset enhancements. Discount factors are determined individually for each

cash-generating unit and reflect management’s assessment of respective risk profiles, such as

market and asset-specific risks factors.Impairment losses for cash-generating units reduce first the

carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to that cash-generating unit. Any remaining impairment

loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in the cash-generating unit. With the exception of

goodwill, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment loss previously

recognised may no longer exist. An impairment charge is reversed if the cash-generating unit’s

recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.

Financial assets

Financial assets, other than hedging instruments, can be divided into the following categories:

financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and

receivables and available-for-sale financial assets. Financial assets are assigned to the different

categories by management on initial recognition, depending on the purpose for which the

investments were acquired. The designation of financial assets is re-evaluated and classification

may be changed at the end of each reporting period with the exception that the designation of

financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is not revocable.

All financial assets are recognised on their trade date - the date on which the Company and the

Group commit to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value,

plus directly attributable transaction costs except for financial assets at fair value through profit or

loss, which are recognised at fair value.Derecognition of financial instruments occurs when the

rights to receive cash flows from the investments expire or are transferred and substantially all of the

risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred. An assessment for impairment is undertaken

at least at the end of each reporting period whether or not there is objective evidence that a financial

asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Non-compounding interest and other cash flows

resulting from holding financial assets are recognised in profit or loss when received, regardless of

how the related carrying amount of financial assets is measured Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that

are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services

directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivables. They are included in current assets,

except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are

classified as non-current assets.

Loans and receivables include trade and other receivables. They are subsequently measured at

amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. If there is objective

evidence that the asset has been impaired, the financial asset is measured at the present value of

the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate. Impairment losses

are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the asset’s recoverable amount can be

related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, subject to a restriction

that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what

the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment loss

or write back is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade payables and other payables.

Financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual agreements

of the instrument. All interest related charges are recognised as an expense in “finance cost” in profit

or loss. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract

expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Trade payables and other payables are initially measured at fair value, and subsequently measured

at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are recognised initially at the fair value of proceeds received less attributable transaction

costs, if any. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost which is the initial fair value less

any principal repayments. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the

redemption value is taken to profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective

interest method. The interest expense is charged on the amortised cost over the period of the

borrowings using the effective interest method.

Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as

through the amortisation process.

Borrowings which are due to be settled within twelve months after the end of the reporting period are

included in current borrowings in the statement of financial position even though the original term

was for a period longer than twelve months and an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule

payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the end of the reporting period. Borrowings to be

settled within the Group’s normal operating cycle are classified as current. Other borrowings due to

be settled more than twelve months after the end of the reporting period are included in non-current

liabilities in the statement of financial position

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost incurred in bringing each

product to its present location and conditions are accounted for as follows:

(a) Raw materials at purchase cost on a weighted average basis; and

(b) Finished goods and work in progress at cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion

of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the

estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised whenthe Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result

of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be

required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The directors review the provisions annually and where in their opinion, the provision is inadequate

or excessive, due adjustment is made.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax

rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the

increase in the provision due to the passage of the time is recognised as finance costs.

Recognition of revenue

Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to

the buyer, generally when the delivery of the goods is completed. Revenue excludes value added

tax and is arrived at after deduction of trade discounts. No revenue is recognised if there are

significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the

possible return of goods.

Interest income is recognised on a time-apportioned basis using the effective interest rate method.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales comprises mainly of direct material, direct labour and manufacturing overheads. Direct

material costs are included in cost of sales based on actual consumption of raw materials for each

product sold. Direct labour and manufacturing overheads costs are included in cost of sales based

on a systematic allocation of such costs that are incurred in converting raw materials to finished

goods sold.

Income taxes

Current income tax for current and prior periods is recognised at the amount expected to be paid to

or recovered from the tax authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or

substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period

PRC corporate income tax is provided at rates applicable to an enterprise in the PRC on income for

financial reporting purpose, adjusted for income and expenses items which are not assessable or

deductible for income tax purposes.

Deferred income tax is recognised for all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of

assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements except when the deferred

income tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is

not a business combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the

transaction.

A deferred income tax liability is recognised on temporary differences arising on investments in

subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary

difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

A deferred income tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit

will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised.

Deferred income tax is measured:

(i) at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised

or the deferred income tax liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been

enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period; and

(ii) based on the tax consequence that will follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the

end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amounts of its assets and liabilities. Current and deferred income taxes are recognised as income or expense in profit or loss, except to

the extent that the tax arises from a business combination or a transaction which is recognised

directly in equity

Value-added tax

The Group’s sale of goods in the PRC are subjected to Value-added tax (“VAT”) at the applicable

tax rate of 17% for PRC domestic sales. Input VAT on purchases can be deducted from output VAT.

The net amount of VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of

“trade and other receivables” or “trade and other payables” in the statement of financial position

respectively.

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of VAT except where:

• VAT incurred on the purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation

authority, in which case VAT is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as

part of the expense item as applicable; and

• receivables and payables are stated with the amount of VAT included.

Employee benefits

Pursuant to the relevant regulations of the PRC government, the Group participates in a local

municipal government retirement benefits scheme (the “Scheme”), whereby the PRC subsidiary is

required to contribute a certain percentage of the basic salaries of its employees to the Scheme to

fund their retirement benefits. The local municipal government undertakes to assume the retirement

benefits obligations of all existing and future retired employees of the PRC subsidiary. The only

obligation of the Group with respect to the Scheme is to pay the ongoing required contributions

under the Scheme mentioned above. Contributions under the Scheme are expensed as incurred.

Employee Share Option Scheme (ESOS)

The Group operates an equity-settled, share based compensation plan. The value of the employee

services received in exchange for the grant of options is recognised as an expense with a

corresponding increase in the ESOS reserve over the vesting period. The total amount to be

recognised over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options

granted on the date of the grant. Non-market vesting conditions are included in the estimation of the

number of shares under options that are expected to become exercisable on the vesting date. At

each reporting date, the Group revises its estimates of the number of shares under options that are

expected to become exercisable on the vesting date and recognises the impact of the revision of

the estimates in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to the ESOS reserve over the

remaining vesting period. When the options are exercised, the proceeds received (net of transaction

costs) and the related balance previously recognised in the ESOS reserve are credited to share

capital account, when new ordinary shares are issued to the employees.

Key management personnel

Key management personnel are those persons having the authority and responsibility for planning,

directing and controlling the activities of the Group and Company Directors, legal representative

and certain general managers are considered key management personnel.

Foreign currencies

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the

currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional

currency”). The financial statements of the Group and the Company are presented in Renminbi

(RMB), which is also the functional currency of the Company.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Transactions in a currency other than the functional currency (“foreign currency”) are translated

into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Currency

translation differences arising from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of

monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the closing rates are

recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary items are not retranslated at year-end and are

measured at historical cost (translated using the exchange rates at transaction date), except for

non-monetary items measured at fair value which are translated using the exchange rates at the

date when fair value was determined.

(iii) Group companies

The results and financial position of all the entities (none of which has the currency of a

hyperinflationary economy) within the Group that have a functional currency different from the

presentation currency of the Group are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

(a) Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing exchange rates at the date of the end of the

reporting periods;

(b)Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless the average is not a

reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction

dates, in which case income and expenses are translated using the exchange rates at the

dates of the transactions); and

(c)All resulting currency translation differences are recognised in the currency translation reserve

in equity.

Related parties

A related party is defined as follows:

(a) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to the Company if that person:

(i) has control or joint control over the Company;

(ii) has significant influence over the Company; or

(iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Company or of a parent of the Company.

personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity

Operating leases

Rentals on operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease

term. Lease incentives, if any, are recognised as an integral part of the net consideration agreed

for the use of the leased asset. Penalty payments on early termination, if any, are recognised in

profit or loss when incurred.

Financial instruments

The recognition methods adopted for financial assets and liabilities are disclosed in the individual

policy statements associated with each item. These instruments are recognised when contracted

for. Disclosures on financial risk management are provided in Note 22.

Operating segment

For management purposes, operating segments are organised based on their products and

services which are independently managed by the respective segment managers responsible for

the performance of the respective segments under their charge. The segment managers are

directly accountable to the chief executive officer who reviews the segment results in order to

allocate resources to the segments and to assess segment performance.

Share capital, reserves and dividend payments Share capital represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued. Share premium

includes any premiums received on issue of share capital. Any transaction costs associated with

the issuing of shares and warrants are deducted from share premium, net of any related income

tax benefits. Other components of equity are described in Note 11.

All transactions with owners of the parent are recorded separately within equity. Dividend

distributions payable to equity shareholders are included in other liabilities when the dividends

have been approved in a general meeting prior to the reporting date.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are accounted for using the cost model. Capitalised costs are amortised on a

straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives for those considered as having finite useful lives.

After initial recognition, they are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated

impairment losses, if any. In addition, they are subject to annual impairment testing. Indefinite life

intangibles are not amortised but are subject to annual impairment testing.

Intangible assets are written off where, in the opinion of the directors, no further future economic

benefits are expected to arise.

Software

Costs relating to software acquired, which are not an integral part of related hardware, are

capitalised and amortised on a straight-line basis over their remaining useful life of 5 or 10 years.

Trademark

Trademark acquired is initially recognised at cost and is subsequently carried at cost less

accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Trademark cost is amortised to

profit or loss using the straight-line method over 79 months which is the contractual periods of

contractual rights.

Land use rights

Land use rights represent up-front payment for long-term interests in the usage of land and are

stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses, if any. Amortisation is

charged so as to write off the cost of the land use rights, using the straight-line method, over the

period of the grant of 50 years, which is the lease term.

Research and developments costs

Research costs are expensed as incurred, Development costs which relate to the design and

testing of new or improved materials, products or processes are recognised as an asset to the

extent that it is expected that such assets will generate future economic benefits.

Borrowing cost

Borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest rate method

21. SEGMENT INFORMATION (CONT’D)

Business segment (Cont’d)

7) RB shoe soles

Natural and synthetic rubbers are used in the production of RB shoe soles. They are highly

resistant to wear and tear, possess the highest tensile strength, provide good traction and is

waterproof and weatherproof. However, they provide less dimensional stability, cushioning and

shock-absorption capabilities.

8) MD1 shoe soles

The main components of MD1 shoe soles are ethylene vinyl acetate (“EVA”) and rubber. EVA-

based sports-shoe soles are lightweight, soft, flexible, elastic, resistant to wear and tear, and are

dimensionally stable with adequate cushioning, thus serve as an excellent shock-absorber in

sportsshoe soles.

9) MD2 shoe soles

The main components of MD 2 shoe soles are similar to MD 1 shoe soles, but are produced

using a distinct production process with equipment that are technologically more advanced than

MD1 shoe soles and as such, has greater variability in designs and improved quality control.

10) Apparels and accessories

The main component is men’s fashion wear and accessories.

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of

making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is

evaluated based on operating profit or loss which in certain respects, as explained in the table below,

is measured differently from operating profit or loss in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Group

income taxes are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.

Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm’s length basis in a manner similar to

transaction with third parties, if any.

Geographical segment

As the business of the Group is engaged entirely in the PRC, no reporting by geographical location

of operation is presented.

There is no single segment which account for more than 10% of revenue.

22. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES – POLICIES

The Group does not have written risk management policies and guidelines. However, the board of

directors meets periodically to analyse and formulate measures to manage the Group's exposure to

market risk, including principally changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. Generally,

the Group employs a conservative strategy regarding its risk management. As the Group's exposure

to market risk is kept at a minimum level, the Group has not used any derivatives or other

instruments for hedging purposes. The Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments

for trading purposes.

As at 31 December 2015, the Group's financial instruments mainly comprise cash and bank

balances, trade receivables, other receivables, trade payables, accrued liabilities, other payables,

and interest-bearing bank borrowings.

(i) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Group’s financial

instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

The Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from bank deposits placed with the financial

institutions and interest-bearing bank borrowings.

The Group’s exposures to interest rate risk from the interest-bearing bank borrowings are

minimal as the Group’s policy is to maintain the borrowings on a fixed rate basis. The Group

does not have investment in other financial assets.

(ii) Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to

changes in foreign exchange rates. Foreign currency risk arises when transactions are

denominated in foreign currencies. The Group carries out its business in the PRC and most of

the transactions are denominated in Renminbi. Accordingly, the Group’s exposure to risk

resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates is minimal.

(iii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as and

when they fall due. The Group’s policy is to regularly monitor current and expected liquidity

requirements to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity

requirement in the short and long term. The Group’s financial liabilities are repayable within 12

months.

The table below analyses the maturity profile of the Company’s and the Group’s financial

liabilities based on contractual undiscounted cash flows:

22. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES – POLICIES (Continued)

(iv) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if the counterparty fails to meet its contractual

obligations. The carrying amounts of trade receivables and other receivables represent the

Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to its financial assets. The Group does not

have significant concentrations of credit risk as no individual customer form more than 5% of the

trade receivables balance as at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014, respectively.

The Group performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers’ financial condition and requires

no collateral from its customers. The allowance for doubtful debts is based upon a review of the

expected collectability of all trade and other receivables. There is no impairment loss

recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as majority of the receivables are

collected within the credit period granted and directors expect all balances to be recoverable.

Further quantitative disclosure in respect of the Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from

trade and other receivables are set out in Note 8.

Cash and cash balances of the Group are to be held by reputable financial institutions.

(v) Fair value

The fair values of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities are not materially different from

their carrying amounts because of the immediate or short term maturity of these financial

instruments.

(vi) Price risk

Price risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in

market prices whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual security or

its issuer or factors affecting all securities traded in the market.

The Group does not hold any quoted or marketable financial instrument, hence is not exposed to

any movement in market prices.
