               REPORTING ON SOCIAL ASPECTS (CONTINUED)

               Operating Practices (Continued)

              6.   Product Liabilities


                   Through strict implementation of the guidelines and policies, we undertake to provide quality products
                   to  consumers.  While  we  make  products  that  satisfy  consumer  needs,  we  also  carry  out  quality  and
                   safety assurance works during manufacturing processes to ensure the products are able to pass the
                   safety and environmental standards of respective sale regions. We will promptly handle and investigate
                   all client complaints to facilitate improvement of our service and product quality.

                   During the Reporting Period, no request for product recalls due to safety and health issues has been
                   received by us.

              7.   Anti-corruption

                   The Group complies with relevant laws and regulations that are related to corruption, bribery, extortion,
                   money-laundering and other frauds.

                   To reinforce corporate governance, we have formed an audit committee, while hiring external lawyers
                   and  auditors  to  offer  opinions  on  our  financial  reporting  and  other  compliance  issues.  While  we  have
                   complied  with  Stock  Exchange’s  corporate  governance  requirements  on  listing  companies,  we  will
                   continue to review and improve our internal control and corporate governance.


                   We  have  abstracted  relevant  sections  of  the  Prevention  of  Bribery  Ordinance  in  Hong  Kong  into  the
                   code of conduct. Our employees are required to be aware of and declare if they have personal interests
                   which may conflict with the company’s interests.

                   The  Group  has  defined  clear  allegation  procedures  in  the  code  of  conduct,  to  provide  a  transparent
                   channel  for  employees  to  report  on  any  suspected  misconduct  or  malpractice  within  its  operations.
                   During the reporting period, there were no such allegations reported.

               Community

              8.   Community Investment


                   The  Group  strives  to  fulfill  our  responsibilities  as  a  corporate  citizen  and  undertake  to  make  positive
                   contribution to society. The Group will continue to look into ways of promoting the spirit of corporate
                   social  responsibility  within  the  company  by  organizing  or  participating  in  appropriate  community
                   activities, donations or scholarship programs. We, through this kind of events, aspire to create the idea
                   of giving back from our employees, foster closer relationships among the Group, our employees and the
                   communities by caring for and helping those in need.


                   During the Reporting Period, we cooperated with local universities for work placement programs and
                   work with the Hong Kong Labour Department to fill certain job positions.
