MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

BUSINESS REVIEW

During the first half of 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to disrupt economies across the globe and affected international trade and our Group’s business. In particular, various pandemicrelated factors such as raw materials price escalation, relentless rise of ocean freight rates and shortage of shipping containers, all impacted on exports.

As a result, the electric fan business overall suffered a slight decline compared to the prior year with sales to Australia and Africa recorded sharper decline since the onset of container shortages. Customer orders in the electric tools business increased significantly compared with last year, however, the global shortage in integrated circuit components caused negative effects on fulfilment of these orders. The Group recorded approximately 13% decline in the sales of electric tools. This supply shortage situation is expected to remain for the rest of year. Moreover, the general increasing trend of various commodity prices affects the operating margin temporarily until shipment for new orders with higher prices become effective.

The Group expects the magnitude and pace of the global economic recovery to improve in the fourth quarter of 2021, and supply logistics and demand of electric fans and electric tools will recover gradually. We intend to further improve our strategic actions in risk management, operational cost control, supply chain agility and liquidity position enhancement in the forthcoming year. Management will proactively pursue various avenues to further reduce the risk exposure and maintain our competitiveness in the market.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Revenue and Operating Results

Revenue from the Group’s operations for the six months ended 30 June 2021 amounted to HK$104.4 million, representing a decrease of HK$12.2 million or 10.5% as compared to HK$116.6 million for the corresponding period in 2020. Such decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in the sales volume of electric tools.

The Group’s gross profit for the six months ended 30 June 2021 amounted to HK$27.8 million, representing a decrease of HK$8.6 million as compared to HK$36.4 million for the corresponding period in 2020. The gross profit margin for the six months ended 30 June 2021 was 26.7%, representing a decrease of 4.6 percentage points compared to 31.3% for the corresponding period in 2020. The Group’s gross profit margin decrease was mainly due to the increase in materials costs.

Profit attributable to the owners of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2021 was HK$12.6 million, representing a decrease of HK$2.0 million or 13.6% as compared to HK$14.6 million for the corresponding period in 2020. The decrease in profit for the period was mainly attributable to the drop in revenue and material cost increases as mentioned above.

Interim Report 2021

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Liquidity, Financial Resources and Capital Structure

The Group has adequate liquidity and financial resources to meet the working capital requirements and other financial obligations in the second half of the financial year. The Group will continue to follow a prudent treasury policy and maintain a healthy financial and liquidity position to achieve the Group’s future business development. As at 30 June 2021, the Group’s total cash and bank balance amounted to approximately HK$107.4 million (31 December 2020: HK$77.5 million) which was mainly denominated in United States Dollars (“ US$ ”) and HK$.

As at 30 June 2021, the current ratio of the Group was approximately 3.99 times (31 December 2020: approximately 3.53 times).

Foreign Exchange Exposure

The Group mainly operates in Hong Kong and the PRC. The functional currencies of the Company and the Group’s operating entities are mainly HK$ and RMB with certain of their business transactions being settled in US$. The Group is thus exposed to currency risk arising from fluctuation on exchange rates of US$ against the functional currencies of the relevant operating entities. During the period, the Group does not have foreign currency hedging policy, but the management continuously monitors foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

Gearing Ratio

The gearing ratio of the Group (expressed as a percentage of total bank borrowings net of cash and bank balances to total equity of the Group) as at 30 June 2021 was nil (31 December 2020: nil) as the Group had net cash balances at the respective period end.

Capital Expenditure and Capital Commitments

During the six months ended 30 June 2021, the Group incurred (i) HK$0.2 million for the purchase of property, plant and equipment (six months ended 30 June 2020: HK$0.2 million), and (ii) HK$2.2 million for the prepayment for purchase of property, plant and equipment (six months ended 30 June 2020: nil).
