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 reexports, 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 continues to link its currency closely to the US dollar, maintaining an arrangement established in 1983.

 

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 aided a more rapid initial recovery 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 9.4% of total system deposits in Hong Kong by the end of 2015. 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 47.3 million in 2014, outnumbering visitors from all other countries combined. Mainland visitors to Hong Kong declined 3% in 2015 to approximately 45.7 million, reflecting an overall drop of 2.5% in total visitors to Hong Kong. Hong Kong has also established itself as the premier stock market for Chinese firms seeking to list abroad. In 2015, mainland Chinese companies constituted about 51% of the firms listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and accounted for about 62.1% 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. In 2014, Hong Kong and China signed a new agreement on achieving basic liberalization of trade in services in Guangdong Province under the Closer Economic Partnership Agreement, adopted in 2003 to forge closer ties between Hong Kong and the mainland. The new measures, which took effect in March 2015, cover a negative list and a most-favored treatment provision, and will improve access to the mainland's service sector for Hong Kong-based companies. Credit expansion and a tight housing supply have caused Hong Kong property prices to rise rapidly; consumer prices increased 2.6% in 2016, but slowed to 2.0% in 2017. Lower- and middle-income segments of the population are increasingly unable to afford adequate housing.

 

Hong Kong’s economic integration with the mainland continues to be most evident in the banking and finance sector. Initiatives like the Hong Kong-Shanghai Stock Connect, the Mutual Recognition of Funds, and The Hong Kong Shanghai Gold Connect are all important steps towards opening up the Mainland’s capital markets and has reinforced Hong Kong’s leading role as China’s offshore RMB market. Additional connect schemes from bonds to commodities and other investment products are also under exploration by Hong Kong authorities. In 2017, Chief Executive Lam announced plans to increase government spending on research and development, education, and technological innovation with the aim of spurring continued economic growth through greater sector diversification.

GENERAL

 

Welling International Hong Kong Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Welling Holding (BVI) Ltd. which is a BVI-registered firm.  In turn, Welling Holding (BVI) Ltd. is a subsidiary company of Welling Holding Ltd. [Welling], a Hong Kong-listed firm located at the same operating address as the subject.

Welling has been listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd. bearing Stock Code 382 since 20th December, 1993.  Welling is the holding company of the Welling Group.

Midea Group Co. Ltd. [Midea] is the controlling shareholder of Welling.  On 31st March, 2008, with the support of Midea, Welling completed an important restructuring exercise which involved a business and assets swap.  Welling has disposed of its then existing business principally engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of electric household appliances, including principally air-conditioners, refrigerators and mini-refrigerators, to a subsidiary of Midea, and acquired from Midea its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Welling Holding (BVI) Ltd., which is principally engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of motors for electric household appliances, including principally air-conditioners, washing machines, and electronic and electric components.

Welling is one of the manufacturers of motors for global white goods of electric household appliances.

Prior to 2008, the Group was principally engaged in manufacture and distribution of electrical household appliances including air-conditioners, refrigerators and mini-refrigerators under the ‘‘Hualing’’ brand (the ‘‘Electrical Appliances Business’’).  Due to the consecutive loss making years, the Group had shifted its principal business to the current one, being manufacturing, distribution and selling of motors and electronic and electric components for electrical household appliances in the PRC and overseas (the ‘‘Motor Business’’) through an acquisition of the target company principally engaged in the Motor Business in 2008 (the ‘‘Motor Acquisition’’) and had disposed of the Electrical Appliances Business to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Midea Group Co., Ltd.

However, the Group has experienced a downward trend in its profit and gross profit margin since 2014 due to the prolonged sluggish property market in the PRC and the increase in research and development (‘‘R&D’’) costs.

The Group now mainly manufactures and distributes three types of motors including motors for air-conditioners, motors for washing machines, and motors for other electrical appliances such as range hoods, vacuum cleaners, etc. (collectively, the ‘Motors’).  Over 80% of the Motors are alternating current (‘‘AC’’) motors while the remaining is direct current (‘‘DC’’) motors. AC motors offer relatively lower gross profit margin as compared to the DC motors due to the degree of technicalities involved.

The Group’s customers are mainly manufacturers of electrical household appliances in the PRC, which contributed around 70% of the Group’s total revenue in FY2015 and FY2016.  The top one customer of the Group is Midea Group Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the ‘‘Midea Group’’), contributing approximately about half of the total revenue of the Group for the latest three financial years of the Group given it is one of the major domestic brands of air-conditioners and washing machines in the PRC. The remaining 30% of the total revenue of the Group was generated from export sales, which were denominated in US dollars and Euro dollars.

In November 2017, the Group decided to put forward a proposal to privatize Welling Holding Ltd.  The privatization was sanctioned and confirmed by the High Court of Hong Kong on 15th February, 2018.  The listing of Welling shares in Hong Kong was withdrawn effective from 20th February, 2018.

For the six months ended 30th June, 2017, the revenue of the Group amounted to HK$5.0 billion, grew by 16.3% as compared with HK$4.3 billion in the same period of previous year.  The net profit of the Group amounted to HK$342.8 million, decreased by 16.2% as compared with HK$408.9 million in the same period of previous year.

The subject is fully supported by the Welling Group.

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