POSITIVE PROFIT ALERT

The board (the “ Board ”) of directors (the “ Directors ”) of the Company hereby informs the shareholders of the Company (the “ Shareholders ”) and potential investors that, based on the Board’s preliminary review of the unaudited consolidated management accounts (the “ 2020 Management Accounts ”) of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020 (the “ Period ”) which have not been audited by the auditors of the Company nor reviewed by the audit committee of the Company, it is expected that the Group will record a profit before tax of not more than HK$19.3 million for the Period. Based on the information available to the Company immediately preceding the publication of this announcement, the Board considers that the change from net loss before tax of HK$16.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 to net profit before tax for the Period was mainly attributed to 1) increase of approximately 14.8% in revenue during the Period as compared with that for the year ended 31 December 2019, 2) better margins of new tender contracts awarded and our strategies of enhancing our operational efficiencies, and 3) other income relating to the Employment Support Scheme, anti-epidemic fund subsidy on commercial vehicles and administration fee on anti-epidemic fund for cleaning workers.
The information contained in this announcement is only based on the Board’s preliminary assessment of the information currently available to the Company and the 2020 Management Accounts. The Company is still in the progress of finalizing such accounts.
