VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT

TERMINATION OF

THE CHILD PRODUCTS TRADING BUSINESS AND

THE COMPONENTS MANUFACTURING BUSINESS

The Board announces on a voluntary basis that the Industrial Products Businesses have been adversely impacted by the combined effect of keen competition, the escalating trade tensions between the United States and the PRC, the global economic downturn and the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). On 24 July 2020, the Company was informed by GBA Investments that the GBA Investments Group no longer needs the supply of the Component Products from the Group. As a result of the deteriorating operating environment, revenue of the Industrial Products Businesses continued to fall significantly in the six months ended 30 June 2020. No new orders have been received for a few months and there is no outstanding order on hand for the Industrial Products Businesses. It is uncertain when the global consumer market will recover. Under such circumstances, the Company has decided to terminate the Industrial Products Businesses with effect from 24 July 2020.

In respect of the financial year ended 31 December 2019, the Group reported revenue of HK$1,097 million, of which HK$91 million was contributed by the Industrial Products Businesses. In 2019, the Group recorded a net loss of HK$147 million, attributable to owner of the parent, of which an operating loss of HK$6 million was attributable to the Industrial Products Businesses. As the Industrial Products Businesses are loss-making, it is expected that the termination of the Industrial Products Businesses will not have any significant adverse impact on the operating results or financial position of the Group.
