LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT

As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2018 and the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2019, the Group has planned to further expand its production capacity by addition of highly automated machineries to prepare for the continuous growth in the orders of new products from existing customers, as well as to accommodate the growth of the Group’s operations. Under such plan, the Company intended to construct new factory premises with a total floor area of approximately 78,000 sq. metres to accommodate such new machines and the expansion of the Group’s business. The entering into of the Construction Agreement is in line with the Company’s business plan, under which the construction of the new factory premises is expected to commence in the second half of 2019.

The planned construction area of the new Factory Premises and the Staff Quarters are 56,739.96 sq.metres and 19,399.56 sq.metres respectively. New highly automated machineries will occupy the major part of the floor area in the Factory Premises, with the rest being planned for showroom, laboratory for research, development and quality control, and warehouse storage use.

The highly automated machineries to be located in the Factory Premises are more advanced models which require less manpower per machine unit, and will enable the Group to achieve higher precision standard and lower raw material wastage during its production process. These machineries will be deployed for the production of new production orders from existing customers, including plastic products not currently manufactured by the Group, PET products, new models of e-cigarette products and their accessories.

The table below illustrates the Group’s production capacity as at 30 June 2019 and its expected production capacity after the expansion.

Plastic E-cigarette
PET products components product
manufacturing manufacturing manufacturing
Production capacity – 30 June 2019
Number of key equipment 1 278 35
Estimated annual production capacity (hours) 4,147 1,152,922 145,152

Total after completion
Number of key equipment 2 338 55
Estimated annual production capacity (hours) 8,294 1,401,754 228,096

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Notes:

  1. The production capacity hours is estimated by multiplying the number of machines by the theoretical maximum operating time of each machine.

  2. Theoretical maximum operating time of equipment is calculated on the basis of 18 hours a day, 24 working days a month and 80% of the time as active time.

Since the new Factory Premises is located in the Group’s production site where no staff quarter is available, the construction of the Staff Quarters will provide convenience for the Group’s production workers. It will also be more appealing to candidates who wish to join the Group.

The construction of Factory Premises and Staff Quarters are expected to be completed by 10 January 2021, about 460 days from the commencement date of the Construction Agreement.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT ON THE GROUP

The Consideration is RMB120 million (approximately HK$132.8 million). The Factory Premises and Staff Quarters to be constructed on the Land will be used for housing our production lines and provision of accommodation for our staff members, respectively. The Consideration will be satisfied by the internal resources of the Group.

The Company considers that there will not be any material effect on the earnings of the Group immediately after the execution of the Construction Agreement. Since the Consideration is expected to be funded by the Group’s internal resources, after full payment of the Consideration, the cash and cash equivalents of the Group will be decreased and the property, plant and equipment will be increased by approximately RMB120 million (approximately HK$132.8 million). The total assets and total liabilities will have no significant change.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

In respect of the Construction Agreement, as one or more of the applicable percentage ratios calculated by reference to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules exceed 25% but are all less than 100%, the transaction contemplated under the Construction Agreement constitutes a major transaction of the Company under Rule 14.06(3) of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

The Company has obtained written approval for the Construction Agreement in accordance with Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules from a closely allied group of Shareholders comprising Oceanic Green Group Limited, New Strength Ventures Limited, Gold Alliance Ventures Limited and Treasure Line Holdings Limited, which together are beneficially interested in an aggregate of 373,395,000 Shares, representing approximately 60.2% of the entire issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this circular. Each of Oceanic Green

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Group Limited, New Strength Ventures Limited, Gold Alliance Ventures Limited and Treasure Line Holdings Limited is wholly owned by Mr. Chan Tsan Lam, an executive Director, Chairman and chief executive officer of the Company.

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 Agreement and no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if an extraordinary general meeting were to be convened for the approval of the Construction Agreement. As such, since written approval has been obtained pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules, no extraordinary general meeting will be convened for the purpose of approving the Construction Agreement as permitted under Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors, consider that while the entering into of the Construction Agreement is not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, the Construction Agreement was entered into upon normal commercial terms following arm’s length negotiations between the parties and that the terms of the Construction Agreement 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 Agreement, the Board would recommend its shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution to approve the Construction Agreement at such general meeting.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Your attention is drawn to the financial and general information as set out in the appendices to this circular.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors were not aware of any material adverse change in the financial or trading position of the Group since 31 December 2018, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECT OF THE GROUP

During the first half of 2019, the Group recorded a significant growth in revenue, both in the integrated plastic solutions segment and the e-cigarette products manufacturing segment.

To prepare for the continuous growth from orders of new products from existing customers, the Group plans to further expand its production capacity by addition of highly automated machineries and construction of new factory premises in the remaining land area in Huizhou during the second half of 2019. Construction is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2019. The new factory premises will have a total floor area of approximately 78,000 sq. metres, which comprises staff quarters and workshops for the Group’s new automated production line.

The Group also endeavours to mitigate business risks by maintaining a balanced and diversified customer base by offering integrated plastic solutions to customers from different industries. Through maintaining and utilising long-established relationships with a diverse range of internationally recognised and industry leading players, it is expected that the Group will be able to explore new products and potential customers for future business development.
