INTERNAL CONTROL

The Board had established a review committee (the "Review Committee") to review, among others, the internal control policies of the Group and their implementation (the "Review") to ascertain whether there are Similar Incidents between 1 January 2019 and 31 May 2019 (the "Investigation Period"). The Review Committee consists of all independent non-executive Directors and Mr. Zhou Chunhua (executive Director and Chairman of the Board) and is chaired by Mr. Chu Kin Wang, Peleus (independent non-executive Director).

To assist the Review Committee in conducting the Review, the Company engaged an independent internal control consultant (the "Internal Control Consultant") to perform a review of internal controls relating to the contract management of the Company (the "Internal Control Review"). The objective of the Internal Control Review includes, but without limitation, the following:

  1. to assist the management of the Company (the "Management") to assess the internal controls over contract management, including the contract review, approval, signing and execution processes and the performance thereof;
  2. to confirm whether the key contracts signed during the Investigation Period by the Company and its selected subsidiaries followed the internal control policies as set out by the Management;
  3. to identify any improvement area to the contract management process of the Group; and
  4. to assess the remediation actions taken by the Management in response to the Incidents, including but not limited to steps taken by the Management to protect the Shareholders and preventive measures in place to reduce the chances of occurrence of any Similar Incidents.

FINDINGS

Having considered the Internal Control Consultant's report on the Internal Control Review, the Review Committee does not find any Similar Incidents during the Investigation Period which are discloseable under Chapter 14 and Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
