GROUP PROFILE & FINANCIALS
Business Review
[Self-explanatory]: We made significant
headway in our business for the last year. It demonstrated that we could
deliver solid sales and earnings in challenging economic cycles,along with
exceptional cash flows and very strong returns on equity and assets. Year 2009 is a year of
progress and opportunities. The revival signs of property market and stock
market boosted the confidence of consumers and brought significant
improvement to the retail industry. PRC tourists contribute more than half of
our sales. Following the government's relaxation of residence permit policies
for temporary residents of the Guangdong Province in December 2009, it is
expected that our retail stores are able to capture the expanding jewellery
retail business generated by the substantial increase in the number of PRC
tourists traveling to Hong Kong under individual travel scheme. Stepping into 2010, we
will continue to dedicate unceasing effort in promoting our brand name so as
to sustain our leadership in the jewellery retail market in the region. The
Group's quality service and creative product designs bring high popularity to
our brand. With all the competitive strengths,we are confident that we are in
a good position to capture the massive opportunities on the increasing
demands for luxury products. We keep expanding our
store network, especially that in the PRC. The Group currently has a total of
over 580 retail outlets in Hong Kong, the PRC, Macau,Canada and the United
States and will continue to look for new business opportunities in the
international market, echoing its core brand value of "Brand of Hong
Kong, Sparkling the World." The Group opened a
two-storey retail outlet in Park Lane Shopper's Boulevard, Tsim Sha Tsui,
Hong Kong in December 2009. Eyeing its satisfactory business performance, we
opened our flagship store, another two-storey sized approximately 6,000
square feet retail outlet at Haiphong Mansion in April 2010, bringing the
total number of retail outlets in Hong Kong to 32 at present. With the
excellent location of the new flagship store,we expect an increase in the
sales mix derived from tourists. Last year, we were
honoured to be the pilot company participating in the early R&D,
execution and promotion of J-ID (Jewelry-ID). A unique Global J-ID technology
encrypts the information of the jewelry to 2-dimensional bar code and then
craves it on the product. Customers can search through the jewelry content
and its related information from the J-ID website according to the 10-digit
code printed on the receipt. This innovative technology not only assists Luk
Fook to further enhance its brand image, but also motivates Hong Kong Jewelry
with high-quality brand to expand the China market. Annual Balance Sheet:
