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 has no tariffs on imported goods, and it levies excise
duties on only four commodities, whether imported or produced locally: 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, its continued reliance
on foreign trade and investment leaves it vulnerable to renewed global
financial market volatility or a slowdown in the global economy. 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 12% of total system
deposits in Hong Kong by the end of 2013. 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 total trade 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. Credit expansion and tight housing supply conditions have caused Hong
Kong property prices to rise rapidly; consumer prices increased by more than 4%
in 2013. 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. In 2013, Hong
Kong and China signed new agreements under the Closer Economic Partnership
Agreement, adopted in 2003 to forge closer ties between Hong Kong and the
mainland. The new measures, effective from January 2014, cover services and
trade facilitation, and will improve access to the mainland's service sector
for Hong Kong-based companies

Champion Fortune Asia Ltd. is a subsidiary company of Victory City Holdings Ltd. which is a BVI-registered company. Its ultimate holding company Victory City International Holdings Ltd. [Company/VCIH/Group], is a Bermuda-registered company. It is also a listed company in Hong Kong.
VCIH is a listed company in Hong Kong bearing code number 539. Including its subsidiary and associated, the subject is referred to Group.
VCIH is the holding company of the Victory City Group. The Group is principally engaged in producing and marketing knitted fabrics, and trading in garment products and providing quality inspection services. Knitted fabric is widely used in the manufacture of a variety of garments such as casual wear, underwear, sportswear and fashion knitwear.
The subject is also trading in the Group’s products.
The head office of the Group is located in Tuen Mun, New Territories, Hong Kong, with production facilities situated in Xinhui City, Guangdong Province, China. The gross floor area of its production facilities is approximately 140,000 sq.ft. The Group is equipped with computerized machinery with maximum daily capacities for fabric knitting and bleaching/dyeing of approximately 50,000 lb. and 80,000 lb. respectively. Most of its customers are Hong Kong based garment manufacturers. These has included Easyknit International Holdings Ltd. and those 16 garment manufacturers who manufacture garments exclusively for Easyknit.
The Group’s business was founded by Mr. Li Ming Hung and Mr. Chen Tien Tui (the current Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer of the Group) in 1983, when they established Kam Fung Bleaching & Dyeing Factory Ltd. [Kam Fung] in Hong Kong for the bleaching and dyeing of knitted fabrics for local garment manufacturers.
For the year ended 31st March, 2014, the consolidated revenue of the Group was approximately HK$5,372 million, representing a growth of approximately 31.5% in comparison to the previous fiscal year (2013: HK$4,085 million). Gross profit was approximately HK$874 million, representing an increase of approximately 16.4% from the previous year (2013: HK$751 million). Profit attributable to owners of the Company for the reporting period amounted to approximately HK$277 million, which included share option expenses of approximately HK$1 million, net gain on fair value changes of derivative financial instruments of approximately HK$3 million, net gain on fair value change of a restricted bank deposit of approximately HK$3 million, net loss on fair value change of an investment property of approximately HK$1 million and a one-off amortisation of bank arrangement fee of approximately HK$16 million. For the previous fiscal year, profit attributable to owners of the Company was approximately HK$206 million, which included share option expenses of approximately HK$40 million, net gain on fair value changes of derivative financial instruments of approximately HK$24 million, net gain on fair value change of a restricted bank deposit of approximately HK$1 million and net gain on fair value change of an investment property of approximately HK$1 million. Hence, profit from core operation for the year ended 31st March, 2014 was approximately HK$294 million after adjusting the above-mentioned non-operating gains and losses, representing an increase of approximately 36.7% from the previous year (2013: HK$215 million).
Production and sales of knitted fabric and dyed yarn remained as the Group’s principal operation, accounted for approximately 75% of the Group’s consolidated revenue for the year ended 31st March, 2014. The remaining of approximately 18% and 7% were from the garment business and resin business respectively.
The Group expanded its production capacity of knitted fabric by approximately 20% in November 2013 in its flagship production base in Xinhui, Guangdong, the PRC. This ensured that the Group had sufficient production capacity to accommodate new and recovered orders. At the same time, the Group also implemented a flexible pricing strategy to capture larger market share at this early stage of the economic recovery. Though this resulted in a slight decline of 2.5% year-on-year in the average selling price (the “ASP”) of the knitted fabric and dyed yarn products, the Group’s production volume increased by approximately 34.5% and that compensated the lower ASP impact, thus contributed to the Group’s revenue growth for the fiscal year.
As at 31st March, 2014, the total number of employees of the Group were approximately 1,160 in Cambodia, approximately 1,570 in Jordan, approximately 970 in Indonesia, approximately 5,890 in the PRC and approximately 150 in Hong Kong, Macau and other places.
The subject is fully supported by the Group.
On the whole, consider the subject good for normal business engagements.
