HONG KONG - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Hong Kong has a free market economy, highly dependent on international trade and finance - the value of goods and services trade, including the sizable share of re-exports, is about four times GDP. Hong Kong levies excise duties on only four commodities, namely: hard alcohol, tobacco, hydrocarbon oil, and methyl alcohol. There are no quotas or dumping laws. Hong Kong's open economy left it exposed to the global economic slowdown that began in 2008. Although increasing integration with China, through trade, tourism, and financial links, helped it to make an initial recovery more quickly than many observers anticipated, it again faces a possible slowdown as exports to the Euro zone and US slump. The Hong Kong government is promoting the Special Administrative Region (SAR) as the site for Chinese renminbi (RMB) internationalization. Hong Kong residents are allowed to establish RMB-denominated savings accounts; RMB-denominated corporate and Chinese government bonds have been issued in Hong Kong; and RMB trade settlement is allowed. The territory far exceeded the RMB conversion quota set by Beijing for trade settlements in 2010 due to the growth of earnings from exports to the mainland. RMB deposits grew to roughly 9.1% of total system deposits in Hong Kong by the end of 2012, an increase of 59% from the previous year. The government is pursuing efforts to introduce additional use of RMB in Hong Kong financial markets and is seeking to expand the RMB quota. The mainland has long been Hong Kong's largest trading partner, accounting for about half of Hong Kong's exports by value. Hong Kong's natural resources are limited, and food and raw materials must be imported. As a result of China's easing of travel restrictions, the number of mainland tourists to the territory has surged from 4.5 million in 2001 to 34.9 million in 2012, outnumbering visitors from all other countries combined. Hong Kong has also established itself as the premier stock market for Chinese firms seeking to list abroad. In 2012 mainland Chinese companies constituted about 46.6% of the firms listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and accounted for about 57.4% of the Exchange's market capitalization. During the past decade, as Hong Kong's manufacturing industry moved to the mainland, its service industry has grown rapidly. Growth slowed to 5% in 2011, and less than 2% in 2012. Credit expansion and tight housing supply conditions caused Hong Kong property prices to rise rapidly and inflation to rise 4.1% in 2012. Lower and middle income segments of the population are increasingly unable to afford adequate housing. Hong Kong continues to link its currency closely to the US dollar, maintaining an arrangement established in 1983.

GENERAL

 

Team Crown Trading Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The United Laboratories (Hong Kong) Group Ltd. which is a BVI-registered firm.  The ultimate holding company of the subject is The United Laboratories International Holdings Ltd. [ULIH] which was incorporated in the Cayman Islands.  ULIH’s shares have been listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd. bearing stock code 3933 since 15th June, 2007.

ULIH is a limited company incorporated in the Cayman Islands.  Its parent company is Heren Far East Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and its ultimate holding company is Gesell Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.  ULIH’s registered office is located at Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, P.O. Box 2681, Grand Cayman, KY1-1111, Cayman Islands and its place of business is located at 6 Fuk Wang Street, Yuen Long Industrial Estate, Yuen Long, New Territories, Hong Kong.

The subject is a member of United Laboratories Group.  Its main factory is in Zhuhai Special Economic Zone, China known as Zhuhai United Laboratories Co. Ltd.  Your given phone number 86-756-7787979 belongs to this firm.

The Group is engaged in manufacturing and marketing pharmaceutical products in Hong Kong and foreign countries.

The Group has large production bases to support its front-line sales activities, including the finished products plant in Hong Kong, the finished products plant in Zhongshan, the bulk medicine plant in Zhuhai, Kaiping Kingly Capsules plant, intermediate products plant in Chengdu, and the comprehensive integrated intermediate products plant in Inner Mongolia.  These six bases, in co-operation with each other, fully carry out the comprehensive integrated production model.  All plants have been granted the national GMP certifications and some of them have additionally obtained ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications.  Certain products even have received certifications or acceptance of FDA from the United States, COS from Europe and GMP from Japan, which enable them exporting to the enormous overseas market.

The ULIH was ranked the fourteenth among the 2011 “Top 100 Enterprises in Chinese Pharmaceutical Industry”.

During the year 2012, the Group’s turnover amounted to approximately HK$7,021.6 million, an increase of approximately 9.6% over that of 2011. EBITDA and profit before taxation were approximately HK$1,003.2 million and HK$248.3 million respectively, representing an increase of approximately 26.2% and 35.6% over the same period in the previous year, respectively.

The profit attributable to owners of the ULIH was approximately HK$162.0 million, representing an increase of 55.3% over the same period in the previous year.

For overseas sales, the Group endlessly expanded efforts in export sales.  In 2012, overseas offices in Brazil, India, Dubai, Indonesia, and Germany commenced full operation, which contributed to an increase of 23.7% in export sales, to HK$2,482.9 million.  With the continuous increase in demand for intermediate and bulk medicine from the overseas markets, as well as the fact that our products being offered at highly reasonable prices have successively received certifications from all over the world in recent years, we are confident that our export sales will gradually increase and accordingly contribute to the future growth of the Group.

For financial strategy, in order to cope to business development and seize market opportunities, during the year, the Group optimized the financial structure through different financing channels to ensure adequate working capital.  The Group raised funds from a rights issue at HK$2.21 per share in March 2012, with the proceeds used for expansion of the Group’s production capacity and for general working capital purposes.  The rights issue received overwhelming market response, which proved that the shareholders support the Group’s overall development strategy and appreciate our investment value.  Furthermore, in the first half of 2012, Zhuhai United Laboratories Co. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group, issued one-year corporate bonds with principal up to RMB600 million, the net proceeds of which had been primarily used to purchase raw materials, market new products, expand sales network, develop its business and repay bank loans.

As at 31st December 2012, the Group had approximately 12,000 (2011: 10,500) employees in Hong Kong and the PRC.

The subject is fully supported by the United Laboratories Group.

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