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

GENERAL

 

Chigo (Hong Kong) Trading Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chigo Development Holding Ltd. which is a BVI-registered company.  Its intermediate holding company Chigo Holding Ltd. [the Company/together with the Company’s associates are referred to “Chigo” or the “Group”] is a Cayman Islands-registered company.  It is also a listed company in Hong Kong bearing stock code 449.

Founded in 1994, the Company’s products have become one of the top air-conditioner brands in China.  The Group is principally engaged in the design, development, manufacture and sale of air-conditioning products.

The subject is trading in the Group’s products.

During the year ended 31st December, 2013, the Group’s total turnover was approximately RMB9,183.7 million Yuan (2012: RMB8,801.8 million Yuan) and increased by RMB381.9 million Yuan, or 4.3% as compared to the corresponding period in 2012.  The increase was principally due to the increase in sales volume of air-conditioning products together with strong sales growth in parts and components during the year.

Due to the domestic economic slowdown and the unfavourable weather factor, the results of PRC sales in the first half of 2013 were far from satisfactory.  However, the Group’s sales team responded quickly and domestic sales rebounded substantially in the second half of 2013.  For the year ended 31st December, 2013, the Group’s PRC sales increased by RMB241.8 million Yuan or 5.0% to RMB5,067.7 million Yuan (2012: RMB4,825.9 million Yuan).  During the year ended 31st December, 2013, domestic sales remained the main source of revenue of the Group and amounted to 55.2% of the total turnover (2012: 54.8%).

As a result of the foregoing, the Group recorded a profit of RMB214.4 million Yuan for the year ended 31st December, 2013 (2012: RMB98.5 million Yuan), representing an increase of RMB115.9 million Yuan or 117.7% as compared to the corresponding period in 2012.  Since net profit of the Group had increased in the reporting period, the Group’s net margin improved to 2.3% (2012: 1.1%) for the year ended 31st December, 2013.

In 2013, the Group completed the construction of production facilities for producing compressors at the production headquarters in Foshan, Guangdong Province, the PRC so as to further enhance the future competitiveness of the Group and ensure a stable supply of core components, and meanwhile completed an acquisition of production facilities for manufacturing copper products in Sihui City, Guangdong Province.  It is expected that the two production facilities for compressors and copper products will be gradually put into operation in 2014, and thus the Group can further its production integration and improve its overall operational efficiency and profitability.

During the six months ended 30th June, 2014, the Group recorded a total turnover of approximately RMB5,440.4 million Yuan (30th June, 2013: approximately RMB5,436.4 million Yuan), representing a slight increase of RMB4.0 million Yuan, or 0.1% as compared to the corresponding period in 2013.  The increase was primarily due to the growth in domestic sales slightly outweighing the drop in sales of overseas markets.

As a result of the foregoing, the Group recorded a profit of RMB48.6 million Yuan for the six months ended 30th June, 2014 (30th June, 2013: RMB29.1 million Yuan), representing an increase of RMB19.5 million Yuan or 67.0% as compared to the corresponding period in 2013.  Since the Group had increased its net profit in the reporting period, the Group improved its net margin to 0.9% for the six months ended 30th June, 2014 (30th June, 2013: 0.5%) accordingly.

As at 30th June, 2014, the Group employed 13,489 employees (30th June, 2013: 15,049 employees).

The subject is fully supported by the Group.  However, the history of the subject in Hong Kong is just over three years and seven months.

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