Chairman's Statement
We are pleased to report the Company's unaudited interim results
for the six months ended 30 September 2019.
Results
The Group's turnover was HKD 118 million [1H2018 : HKD 139
million], a decrease of approximately 15% on the corresponding
period last year, mainly as a result of the continued impact of the
change in regulations in the PRC restricting importation of scrap
materials. The Group has not been able to secure new and compliant
sources of supply, such that normal levels of trading can resume,
and there is no visibility if and when this can happen.
Loss before tax during the period was HKD 0.53 million [1H2018 :
HKD 2.4 million], as the Group continued with its cost control
initiatives following the reduced levels of activity.
Outlook
Trading levels are not anticipated to return to normal or
sustainable levels in the foreseeable future, and whilst the Group
continues to manage its costs, it also continues to explore other
strategies for the Group.
As announced on 12 December 2019, the Board are exploring the
disposal of the Group's main trading subsidiary, Masterpiece
Enterprises Limited. It is likely that any such disposal, if
agreed, would also require shareholders' approval, in general
meeting, as required by AIM Rule 15. Should this disposal be
approved, the Company would also seek to raise some new equity
through a placing of new shares.
We will keep shareholders advised of progress as and when
appropriate.
