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

The
Li & Fung Group has been trading since 1906 and is now the market leader
amongst export trading and sourcing companies in Hong Kong and even Asia
Pacific region. Main activity of Li
& Fung is investment holding. Its
subsidiaries are principally engaged in the export of consumer products,

The

primarily an exporter of a wide variety of goods manufactured in Hong Kong and
acts as a purchasing agent for importer, department stores, chain stores and
specialty stores throughout the world and in particular North America and
Western Europe. Its principal exports
are ready-to-wear garments and textiles, toys, electronic and mechanical
products, artificial flowers, household ware, gift and art items. It is not substantially dependent on any one
of those categories of exports.
In
December 2000, Li & Fung successfully acquired the entire issued share
capital of Colby Group Holdings Ltd. [Colby], a BVI-registered firm, for a
total consideration of up to HK$2,199,993,000.00. Colby is the holding company of the Colby
Group, which commenced business in 1975 and since that time has been principally
engaged in the sourcing of apparel and hardline products for retailers. Today, through its global network, the Colby
Group sources apparels and hardline products and monitors the production of
such goods with over 4,200 suppliers in 59 countries.
Li
& Fung (1937) Ltd., established in Hong Kong in 1937, is the ultimate
holding company of the Li & Fung Group which is now controlled by
Dr. Victor Fung Kwok King and Dr. William Fung Kwok Lun – the third
generation of the founder. Li & Fung
was founded in Guangzhou, China in 1906 as a traditional Chinese family company
engaged in trading. Li & Fung (1937)
Ltd. is 100%-owned subsidiary of King Lun Holdings Ltd., a private company
incorporated in the British Virgin Islands being the investment arm of the two
Fung brothers. The Li & Fung Group
is now a large multinational consumer product trading group comprising three
distinct core businesses: Export Trading – conducted by Li & Fung Ltd.
group, Retailing – conducted by Li & Fung (Retailing) Ltd. group, and Distribution
– conducted by Li & Fung (Distribution) Ltd. group.
As
a Supply Chain Manager across many producers and countries, Li & Fung
provides the convenience of a one-stop shop for customers through a Total
Value-Added Package: from product design and development, through raw material
and factory sourcing, production planning and management, quality assurance and
export documentation to shipping consolidation.
The
Group now services its customers globally through a sourcing network of 80
offices in more than 40 economies.
The
Group is also engaged in property investment, including the development of two
industrial parks at Panyu and Heshan, China.
Its biggest markets are the United States and Western Europe. The Group offers a wide range of services to
its customers to complement its traditional role as a sourcing and purchasing
agent for overseas buyers.
In
2012, Group turnover increased by 1% to US$20,222 million. However, core operating profit was US$511
million, a decrease of 42% compared to 2011. Profit attributable to
shareholders was US$617 million, a decrease of 9% compared to previous year
(US$681 million).
In
2011, Li & Fung reorganized its businesses into three distinct Business
Networks: Trading, Logistics and Distribution.
This has opened the door to significant growth opportunities from cross
selling between the Networks.
The
trading business of the Group was resilient in 2012, accounting for
approximately 70% of the Group’s turnover and showed a modest value increase
over 2011 in a tough trading environment. In its core sourcing business, the
Group remains the dominant player in the global sourcing arena.
In
the first half of 2013, Group turnover was flat at US$9,129 million (first half
of 2012: US$9,128 million). Core
operating profit increased slightly by 0.8% to US$223 million. Profit attributable to shareholders was US$96
million, a decrease of 69.1% compared to the same period of previous year which
was US$312 million. This was mainly due
to the absence of the non-cash gain of US$198 million on the write-back of
contingent considerations previous year.
Excluding such non-cash gains, profit attributable to shareholders
decreased by 15.5%.
During
the first half of 2013, the Group continued to supplement its organic growth
strategy with five acquisitions, with an aim to expand its product/service
offerings, product expertise and geographical reach. These five acquisitions were completed with
an aggregate consideration of approximately US$432 million, among which initial
payments totalled approximately US$135 million, earn-out and earn-up contingent
consideration payable totalled US$297 million.
Part of the initial payment was paid in the second half of 2013.
As
at 30th June 2013, the Group had a total workforce of 28,015, of whom 4,151 were
based in Hong Kong and 23,864 were located overseas and in mainland China.
The
Group owns the whole Lifung Tower which is located at 888 Cheung Sha Wan Road,
Kowloon, Hong Kong. Most of the Group’s
subsidiaries are located at this building.
The total employees of the Group in this building is about 500.
On
the whole, in view of the background and parentage of Li & Fung Trading,
consider it good for normal business engagements.
