3、 results announcement dated 28 March 2025(the“Announcement”)and the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024(the“2024 Annual Report”)of Macau Legend Development Limited(the“Company”)and its subsidiaries(collectively the“Group”).Capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as t
4、hose defined in the 2024 Annual Report unless the context requires otherwise.In addition to the information disclosed in the Announcement and the 2024 Annual Report,the board of directors(the“Board”)of the Company would like to provide to the shareholders of the Company and the potential investors w
5、ith the following supplementary information in relation to the disclaimer of opinion on the Companys consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 in relation to the Companys ability to continue as a going concern issued by the Companys auditors(the“Disclaimer”).AUDIT COMMITT
6、EES VIEW REGARDING DISCLAIMERFollowing thorough discussion with both the management of the Company and the auditors,and with a comprehensive understanding of the Groups financial position,the Audit Committee acknowledges and concurs with the managements view that the adoption of the going concern ba
7、sis for the preparation of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024(the“Financial Statements”)was appropriate on the following basis:(1)the Company is neither in liquidation nor subject to any winding-up petitions;(2)normal business operations have been maintained continuously th
8、roughout 2024 and up to the date of this announcement;and(3)no alternative accounting basis would be more appropriate than the going concern for the Financial Statements,particularly given the Financial Statements reflect a robust and improving financial performance.This is evidenced by the Adjusted
9、 EBITDA which recorded a profit of approximately HK$159.8 million,representing an improvement of approximately 65.1%,underscoring the Companys operational stability.*for identification purposes only2While the Audit Committee recognised the auditors concern regarding the uncertainties surrounding the
10、 Groups ability to continue as a going concern,it considered that the remedial measures taken by the Group were of evolving nature and required additional time to fully materialise and demonstrate effectiveness at the time when the Financial Statements were prepared and approved.Further,the Audit Co
11、mmittee also considered the relevant principles for adopting the liquidation basis or the realisation basis in preparing the Financial Statements.Having considered all relevant factors,evaluated the implementation and progress of the measures taken by the Group,and taken into account the cooperative
12、 and constructive approach of the relevant banks in reaching facility restructuring arrangement(as detailed below)with the Group,the Audit Committee found no sufficient grounds to disagree with the managements assessment of the Companys ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months,a
13、nd considered that preparing the Financial Statements on a liquidation basis or a realisation basis would not be justified under the circumstances.ACTION PLANS AND MEASURESThe multiple uncertainties relating to the Group operating as a going concern were mainly due to two major issues,contrasting wi
14、th the Groups cash and bank balances of approximately HK$52.3 million as at 31 December 2024,being(1)the Groups total bank borrowings amounted to HK$2,066.4 million which are either due for repayment within the next 12 months from the end of the reporting period or are repayable on demand;and(2)an a
15、ggregate amount of shareholders loans of HK$339.4 million which are either due within one year from the reporting period or repayable on demand.To address these liquidity issues,the Group has taken the following actions:(1)Bank borrowings restructuringThe Company has successfully agreed upon and exe
16、cuted a loan variation agreement with the bank regarding an outstanding bank loan of HK$85.5 million.This agreement defers the repayment of the entire outstanding loan principal to October 2026.Regarding the remaining outstanding bank loan totalling approximately HK$2.0 billion,the Company and the b
17、anks have also executed a loan variation agreement on 3 June 2025 which provides for a facility restructuring arrangement including a monthly principal repayment of HK$1.0 million for 19 consecutive months from February 2025 to August 2026,the deferral of repayment of the outstanding instalments of
18、loan principal in default and instalments to be due in 2025 to September 2026 with the remaining outstanding loan principal fully repaid by September 2027 as scheduled and the imposition of supervisory terms for enhanced liquidity monitoring.Additionally,the Company and the banks anticipate to comme
19、nce further negotiation by April 2026 to implement and finalise a long-term resolution for the then outstanding instalments,accounting for any potential impact of the impending revisions to the Macaus gaming laws and regulations to be effective on 1 January 2026.3(2)Substantial shareholder supportA
20、substantial shareholder(to whom HK$205,000,000 of shareholders loans are owed,representing 60.4%of total current shareholders loans)has provided written financial support confirmation in April 2025,stating that:(a)no demand for repayment will be made until the Group is capable of repaying the outsta
21、nding amounts;and(b)additional financial support may be provided as needed,ensuring the Group maintains sufficient working capital and funding to operate its business on a going concern until 31 March 2026.After assessing the progress of measures to address the uncertainties referenced in the Discla
22、imer to date,including:(i)the successful execution of the above-mentioned loan variation agreements;and(ii)the written financial support confirmation obtained from a substantial shareholder to whom HK$205,000,000 of shareholders loans are owed,representing 60.4%of total current shareholders loans,th
23、e management will engage in proactive discussion with the auditors to determine whether the disclaimer can be removed or an unqualified opinion with emphasis of matter can be issued on such basis for the upcoming financial statements as appropriate.The above supplemental information does not affect
