CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.

Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT

In order to create enhanced value to pursue long-term sustainable growth and improve the competitiveness of the Group, the Group intends to build the Factory Premises, Office Building and Staff Quarters situated at the Land. Currently, the Group has two production sites, namely Shangguafan Factory and Yangdai Factory. Upon completion of the Construction Contract, the Group will relocate Shangguafan Factory, which commenced operation in 1996, to the Factory Premises where the Yangdai Factory is nearby. It is expected that the relocation will enable the Group to centralise the management and production process at the Land, which will allow us to save the costs and time in relation to management, transportation, and maintenance and repairs accordingly.

Given the fact that the Shangguafan Factory is located at the old city center of Lin’an District, it is expected that there may be a redevelopment plan at the vicinity of the Shangguafan Factory required by the local government in future. In this connection, the Directors consider that the relocation of the Shangguafan Factory to the Land would allow us to have sufficient time to streamline the relocation process ahead of the promulgation of the redevelopment plan by the local government.

Furthermore, the Shangguafan Factory has been in operation for more than 20 years, the production capacity, ability and efficiency of which do not catch up with the latest technology and business trend. Due to the regular introduction of newer and more advanced machinery models in the market and the aging of our machineries, the Group plans to install 2 additional decorative paper production lines with the latest-developed and newer models of production equipment in July 2020, according to the anticipated schedule provided by Zhejiang Zhongda, which will allow us to increase the production capacity and produce higher quality decorative printing materials products. With those production lines comes into operation in future, the estimated annual capacity of decorative paper will be increased from approximately 14,024 tonnes as at 31 December 2019 to approximately 16,781 tonnes by the year end of 2020. The Group also plans to install 6 additional production lines in future after the implements of the 2 additional decorative paper production lines in 2020, subject to market conditions and customers, demands. Currently, there is no tentative plan as to the implementation of these 6 additional production lines.

The Factory Premises will also enhance our customers’ confidence on the Group. It is a common practice for our customers, potential or existing, to conduct onsite visit to our factory. The Directors believe that the Factory Premises with brand new design would attract more customers better than an old factory design like the Shangguafan Factory.

The Site Formation Contract and the Construction Contract are consistent with the Group’s strategy and will serve as additional growth driver for the Group with continuous enhancement in long-term Shareholders’ value.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In view of the above, the Board considers that the terms of the Site Formation Contract and Construction Contract are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and the entering into of the Site Formation Contract and the Construction Contract are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The table below illustrates the Group’s production capacity as at 31 December 2019 and its expected production capacity in the second half of 2020.

Notes :

  1. For illustrative purposes only, the estimated capacity of our production facilities is measured in terms of the estimated quantity of products produced per hour multiplied by estimated working hours (i.e. 12 or 24 hours per day for decorative paper, 12 hour per days for finish foil paper, melamine impregnated paper and PVC flooring film and 8 hours per day for PVC furniture film) (after deducting the estimated set up time (comprising mainly the time required for change of plate rollers and colour tone adjustments) in the optimal conditions and excluding the time spent on pre-print and post-print processes) of each of the production line per day (assuming no overtime works) and 365 days per year (taking into account the statutory and public holidays in the PRC and our normal maintenance schedule), during the second half of 2020. As the number of print orders increases, it will involve more frequent change of plate rollers and colour tone adjustments from one production run to another and hence, will result in longer actual total set-up time for the relevant period. Thus, the above computation only illustrates the estimated capacity of our production lines operating in the optimal conditions.

The construction of Factory Premises, Office Building and Staff Quarters are expected to be completed by 24 December 2020, about 366 days from the actual commencement date of the Construction Contract.

The Directors consider that both Mr. Sheng’s investment, which is held personally and through Bright Commerce Investment Limited, in the Company and Mr. Yu’s investment, which is held through Well Power Ventures Limited, in the Company are of a long-term and strategic nature and that Mr. Sheng and Mr. Yu have established and will maintain a stable business relationship with each other.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT ON THE GROUP

The Consideration has been and will be funded by the Group’s internal resources and bank borrowing of RMB40,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$44,520,000). Accordingly, the construction works as contemplated under the Construction Contract will increase both the Group’s total assets and liabilities.

While there will not be any immediate material impact on earnings of the Group, the Directors believe that the Construction Contract would lead to the enhancement of the Group’s income stream upon the commencement of the operations of the Factory Premises, Office Building and Staff Quarters.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE GEM LISTING RULES

The relevant applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules) for the Site Formation Contract are less than 5% and therefore the Site Formation Contract itself is not subject to any disclosure requirements pursuant to Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules. In respect of the Construction Contract, as one or more of the applicable percentage ratios calculated by reference to Rule 19.07 of the GEM Listing Rules exceed 25% but are all less than 100%, the transaction contemplated under the Construction Contract constitutes a major transaction of the Company under Rule 19.06(3) of the GEM Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Rule 19.22 of the GEM Listing Rules, the Site Formation Contract and the Construction Contract shall be aggregated as if they were one transaction, which amounting to a total sum of RMB60,600,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$67,447,800). As the relevant applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules) for the Site Formation Contract and Construction Contract in aggregate exceed 25% but are all less than 100%, the Construction Contract shall constitute a major transaction of the Company under Rule 19.06(3) of the GEM Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.

– 14 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

On 20 December 2019, the Company has obtained written approval for the Construction Contract in accordance with Rule 19.44 of the GEM Listing Rules from a closely allied group of Shareholders comprising (i) Mr. Sheng, who is holding 9,990,000 Shares, (ii) Bright Commerce Investment Limited, which is holding 239,950,000 Shares and, (iii) Well Power Ventures Limited which is holding 11,250,000 Shares respectively, which together are beneficially interested in an aggregate of 261,190,000 Shares, representing approximately 52.23% of the entire issued capital of the Company as at 20 December 2019 and as at the Latest Practicable Date.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiry, none of the Shareholders has any material interest in the transactions under the Construction Contract and no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if a general meeting were to be convened for the approval of the Construction Contract. As such, since written approval has been obtained pursuant to Rule 19.44 of the GEM Listing Rules, no general meeting will be convened for the purpose of approving the Construction Contract as permitted under Rule 19.44 of the GEM Listing Rules.

None of the Directors has a material interest in the Construction Contract and the transactions contemplated thereunder, and accordingly none of them was required to abstain from voting on the Board resolution for considering and approving the Construction Contract and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

In addition, according to the previous experience of the Group for entering into similar transactions, the adjustments to the Consideration specified in the Construction Contract are unlikely to be very substantial. The Board does not expect the upward adjustment to exceed 20% of RMB54,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$60,102,000). As such, the Construction Contract will only constitute a major transaction for the Company notwithstanding such adjustments. If the upward adjustment is in excess of the expected amount, the Company will consider what steps it needs to take to comply with the GEM Listing Rules and the requirements of the Stock Exchange. In any event, the Company will monitor the amount of such adjustment and where necessary, comply with the requirements under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules. In particular, if the adjustment would result in the Construction Contract falling within a higher classification of notifiable transaction, the Company would despatch a supplementary circular to the Shareholders to provide information on such reclassification and would convene a general meeting to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the Construction Contract.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors, consider that while the entering into of the Construction Contract is not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, the Construction Contract was entered into upon normal commercial terms following arm’s length negotiations between the parties and that the terms of the Construction Contract are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. If a general meeting were to be convened for the approval of the Construction Contract, the Board would recommend its shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution to approve the Construction Contract at such general meeting.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECT OF THE GROUP

In view of the recent global economic conditions, we see uncertainties and risks clouding around and years ahead. The escalating international tensions on the horizon, including the US-China trade war, have contributed to market volatilities. Although the adverse effect of which had not been yet fully emerged, all these already eroded confidence in the business sectors, threatening the global economic expansion and hence will further cloud the market outlook.

Despite the aforementioned risks and challenges, the growth of the business of the Group remains sound and healthy. The Group’s product and brand are in growing popularity and we continued to receive strong purchase orders. During the year ended 31 December 2019 and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we have continued our pace in capacity expansion. With the new production lines in place, it not only enhances our production capacity but also provides a better production flexibility for us to cater the need of our customers with special production requirements. It provides a solid foundation for the Group to align the need of the business expansion in the future.

In the face of the rising cost of raw materials, the Group would continue to manage costs and risks. The Group will enhance the profit margins by lowering the costs and increasing the production efficiency. The Group is committed to enhancing our research and development capabilities to optimise our product mix and to improve our production efficiency. The Group would continue to improve our manufacturing technology including plate roller engraving, ink development and impregnation technology. Taking advantages of our well-recognised reputation in the market, the Directors are optimistic to capture the market share of the decorative printing materials industry. The Group would continue to explore new markets and capture the emerging business opportunities.
