FUTURE PLANS

The business strategy of the Group will be to continue to focus of the manufacturing and trading of industrial abrasive products in Hong Kong and the PRC. Following the PRC's accession to the WTO in 2001, the Directors expect that the demand for industrial products in the PRC will increase, which in turn will increase the demand for the abrasive products of the Group. The Directors believe that expansion of the PRC market will expedite the growth of the Group and is, therefore, planning initially to set up a representative office in Shanghai to promote the Group's products to PRC customers.

The Group will continue to dedicate resources towards the innovation of new products with a view to satisfy different market needs and to achieve an internationally recognised standard of polishing materials. The Directors also aim to enhance and strengthen the reputation of the Group's “Pme” branded products in the PRC and overseas markets through promotion and participation in trade fairs.
