Mr. Wong Wai Sheung, Chairman and Chief Executive of the Group said, ¡§The Group chose to open its retail outlet at the Hong Kong International Airport because of its favorable geographical location. As one of the busiest airports in the world, Hong Kong International Airport¡¦s annual passenger capacity reaches 45 million. The passenger terminal has long been regarded as the place, which captures international brand name products. Together with the free trolleys provided in the Restricted Area for shopping, many tourists will grasp the opportunity to shop while waiting on board. The Group believes that airport retail outlet would realize the Group¡¦s globalization strategy, facilitate the Group to further promote its brand name, enhance its brand name awareness and therefore attract more tourists to visit.¡¨

Mr. Wong continued, ¡§As per latest estimation, an expected 20 million visitors will visit Hong Kong this year, of which more than half are from the mainland, will pass through the airport. Since gold and jewellery are all time favorite shopping items of mainland tourists, together with favorable retail outlet location which is near the gateway of many Asian flights with high flow of mainland tourists, the Group believes that this retail outlet can attract more mainland tourists to buy its jewellery products and therefore expand the Group¡¦s sales market. ¡§
