FUTURE PLANS
Because of its stringent quality control procedures, the Group did not have any material sales returns due to defects from its custoemrs during the Track Record Period and has established itself as a reliable manufacturer of quality knitted fabrics.
The Directors believe that the market demand for knitted fabrics will continue to grow and the Directors also anticipated that the worldwide quota on textile products will gradually be removed upon the PRC”¦s entry into WTO. In light of this favourable business environment, the Group”¦s objective is to become a leading knitting fabric manufacturers in South East Asia, offering a wide series of quality knitted products in different markets.
- Further vertical integration
The Group intends to apply approximately HK15 million from the net proceeds of the Share Offer for the purchase of additional yarn dyeing machinery. The Directors believe that the establishment of new yarn dyeing operation will benefit the Group by reducing production unit cost, improving quality control and reducing production lead time. Moreover, the newly established yarn dyeing facilities will enable the Group to offer a wider product range to its customer.
Apart from the yarn dyeing operation, the Directors may in the future consider other up-stream vertical integration alternatives including, but not limited to, the spinning of cotton yarn.
- Expansion of the production capacity
The Group intends to expand its production capability by constructing additional factory premises and purchasing new machinery so that it will be bale to accept more orders and reduce production lead time.
- Installation of an additional power and steam generator
In consideration of the expected increase in future production capacity, the Directors intend to install a 18,000 KW additional power and steam generator, which is expected to start operation in mid-2005
With the liberalization and globalization of the garment industry, the Directors believe that the North American sector of the industry will continue to be promising and that the PRC market will offer tremendous development potential. The Group will continue to consolidate relationships with existing customers in Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong and has identified Korea and Europe as its next strategic locations for expansion. The Group has established Kam Sing, a wholly-owned subsidiary, with a view to developing the domestic knitted fabric market in the PRC. The Group plans to further expand its distribution network by establish sales points in these identified locations and by strengthening its sales and marketing team.
