In view of the challenges in the global business environment and the uncertain economic outlook, the Group would adopt a conservative business strategy in the sales of apparel products business.

Meanwhile, the Group has also implemented cost saving strategy to reduce general and administrative cost and promote the overall competitiveness of its sales of apparel products business. Currently, the operation of the sales of apparel products business of the Group is overseen by the senior management of the Company and the former executive director and chief executive officer of the Company, Mr. Cheung Lui (''Mr. Cheung''), who has over 10 years of experience in the garment industry.
