GENERAL

 

Pacific Potential Trading Co. Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Glorious Sun Industries (BVI) Ltd., a BVI-registered firm.  Glorious Sun Industries (BVI) Ltd. in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Glorious Sun Enterprises Ltd. [GSEL], a Hong Kong listed firm.

GSEL was incorporated in Bermuda on 22nd August, 1996 as an exempted company.  It acquired the entire issued share capital of Glorious Sun Enterprises (BVI) Ltd. and became the new holding company of the Glorious Sun Group on 2nd September, 1996.  The Group is principally engaged in the retailing, manufacturing and export of casual wear.  All of these products are manufactured and sourced from both the Group’s subsidiaries and associated companies (located in the PRC, the Philippines, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Hong Kong and Cambodia), and also from independent sub-contractors.

The Group also provides apparel design, and merchandising and buying agency services to its OEM export customers at a fee for the purpose of rendering comprehensive services.  The Group is also trading in fabrics.  The Group maintain its head office in Hong Kong, which is primarily responsible for the Group’s overall management, administration and finance.

The apparel manufactured by the Group for retail are marketed and sold under the Group’s “JEANSWEST” and, to a much lesser extent, “CODE BLEU” brandnames.  The “JEANSWEST” series comprises ladies, men and unisex casual wear which include T-shirts, polo shirts, woollen sweater, blouses, skirts, jackets, vests, jeans, trousers and shorts.  They are sold in the Group’s “JEANSWEST” shops in the PRC and Australia.  The “CODE BLEU” series, which comprises only denim jeans, are sold in the Group’s “JEANSWEST” shops in Australia.

The Group also exports a wide range of men and ladies casual wear under customers’ brandnames (such as “GAP”, “JC Penney”, “Phillip Van Heusen”, “Structure” and “Hagger) to the United States and Canada, according to the customers’ designs and specifications.

The manufacturing operations of the Group was first established in 1974.  Now, the Group’s products include jeans, pants, shorts, T-shirts, shirts, sweaters, skirts, jackets, vests, trousers, and swimwear, as well as accessories, including slippers, sandals, fleece, pillows, waist packs, socks, and bags.

As of 31st December, 2007, the Group operated 1,940 retail stores, of which 777 stores were operated under franchised arrangements.  It also involves in other businesses; provision of agency services and production management services; import and distribution of textile products; and property holding and provision of management services.  In addition, the Group is also engaged in the provision of dyeing and knitting services; and interior decoration and renovation services.

The Group operates primarily in Mainland China, Hong Kong, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, etc.

For the year ended 31st December, 2007, the sales of the Group amounted to HK$4,783.9 million, grew by 8.8% as compared with HK$4,397.4 million in FY 2006; profit attributable to equity holders was HK$515.7 million, grew by 89.9% as compared with HK$271.6 million in FY 2006.  The profit of the Group in FY 2007 was good.

During FY 2007, the US retail market was hit sharply by the extended economic crisis triggered off by the sub-prime issue and became sluggish, more noticeably in the second half.

Furthermore, it is due to the recent worldwide financial crisis, the Group’s business will unavoidably be affected substantially.

The subject is fully supported by the Group.

On the whole, consider the subject good for normal business engagements.
