During the year ended September , , the principal activities of the major subsidiaries are as follows: Regulated money lending business in Hong Kong Our regulated money lending business in Hong Kong is carried on by our wholly owned subsidiary, First Asia Finance Limited FAF . FAF has obtained the Money Lenders License for carrying on money lending business in Hong Kong. We have to renew our license with Hong Kong Government every year. We are in a competitive market with growing demand for short term funding. Our business has benefited from the fact that commercial banks have implemented relatively stringent credit policies to small and medium sized enterprises and private individuals. Companies and individuals who fail to obtain funding from banks have turned to us for short term funding to meet their immediate needs. FAF s main target customers are those who are unable to obtain bank loans for a number of reasons e.g. lack of verifiable income proof. Our lending policy is relatively less stringent than banks but is nonetheless effective in minimizing our credit risk. For example, we will carefully consider the granting of loans to such individuals by taking into account their existing assets as collateral to the loan and our ability to impose charges on those assets. Potential borrowers are interviewed and we will investigate into their credit history, income source, and overall ability to repay loan. FAF grants collateral backed loans in respect of assets that can be easily identified, accurately valued and legally charged. In most cases, we accept real estate including buildings and land use rights as collateral from small and medium sized enterprises and private individuals. We target at low to medium risk borrowers and interest rates will be charged up to the statutory cap of per annum depending on the risk profile of a particular borrower. Construction business Our wholly owned subsidiary Hung Lee Development Limited HLD is primarily responsible for providing building design, construction and renovation services as well as construction related consultancy services to our customers. Prior to becoming a subsidiary of the Group, HLD has been the contractor of several luxury bungalow development projects in the rural area of Hong Kong.

Developments in the vicinity comprise newly built high rise residential towers. Tsuen Wan District is undergoing gradual transition with aged industrial buildings being redeveloped into high rise residential apartments or modern industrial and commercial office buildings. This greatly increases the potential of appreciation of value of FAT. The management has granted a license to a third party to use the space of the Building since August with a monthly fee of US , .
