17. SWOT Analysis--Strengths HC has gained a good reputation during the past decades. The group has demonstrated its construction expertise in many landmark private and government projects. It was awarded contracts from Hong Kong Housing Authority, MTR, Venetian Orient, Swire, Huawei, HSBC, etc. These positive track records help HC’s future development. • 1) Long History and goodwill;

18. SWOT Analysis--Strengths By achieving the strict standard with a full scope of services, transforming from a local construction company into a fully-integrated property group. • 2) Being a full-fledged one-stop construction and property related services provider;

19. SWOT Analysis--Strengths HC also has a group of experienced management teams which is capable of meeting the strict standard in the industry. Wilfred Wong, Chairman of HC, has over 20 years of experience in property development and construction and is currently a Deputy to the NPC of the PRC. This is useful in PRC business development • 3) Experienced management team;

20. SWOT Analysis--Strengths Summarize • Long History and a good reputation; • Being a full-fledged one-stop construction and property related services provider; • Experienced management team; • Being one of the contenders awarded the grade C contractor; • Strong technical team; • Quality; • Site safety assurance.

21. SWOT Analysis--Weaknesses • Aspects beyond the company’s capacity includes: • The equipment and technology limit make the group unable to bid some large contracts. • Firm’s capacity may limit for future expansion. • Capacity limitation • Diversified in property development • Failing to get orders beyond the company’s capacity

22. SWOT Analysis--opportunities The new government led by Mr. CY Leung has committed to ease the shortage in housing, implying that future land supply should be enough to meet local housing need. The increase in land supply would eventually bring about a significant increase in construction work in future. • 1) Increasing land supply to meet underlying housing demand

23. SWOT Analysis--opportunities According to the 2011-12 Policy Address, the government pledged to complete construction of about 75,000 units of public housing units in the next 5 years to reduce the average waiting period to 3 years. The significant increase in public housing supply in the next few years would benefit the local construction sector. • 2) Increasing public housing supply for low-income class

24. SWOT Analysis--opportunities According to the previous Policy Address, the government has committed for the 10 mega infrastructure projects. The significant increase in public sector spending in the next few years would benefit the local construction sector. • 3) Significant increase in the public sector’s spending—10 mega infrastructure projects in the pipeline

25. SWOT Analysis--opportunities 4) Limited Qualified Players in the Industry Based on the four major types of public works (excluding port works) only 16 out of 256 contenders (See Chart ) were awarded the grade C contractor license as of July 2012. Between1998 to 2006, the relatively low business volume and fierce competition within the industry has forced some weaker players out the market in the last decade. (See Figure)

27. SWOT Analysis--opportunities Figure: List of Approved Contractors for Public Works in HK in 08/2012 Source: Development Bureau of HKSAR Government

28. SWOT Analysis--opportunities • In Hong Kong, the approved contractors for public works can be categorized into three classes: • Hsin Chong is one of the few C license holders in Hong Kong and only 16 out of 256 contenders were awarded the grade C contractor license as of July, 2012. (See figure) • Among the “Big Four”, only Chun Wo and Hsin Chong has 4 C grades. After the 10 mega infrastructure projects rolls out, these two companies would massively benefit from the grade since there is less competition. • However, in the smaller scale contracts, this advantage will not be as obvious. The competition might be more fierce.

29. SWOT Analysis--opportunities 5) Tieling--building a dream city in China Tieling City, a dream city concept exhibited in the Shanghai World Expo that might become the long-term development model of the Chinese government.

30. SWOT Analysis--Opportunities Summarize • Increasing land supply to meet underlying housing demand; • Increasing public housing supply for low-income class; • Significant increase in the public sector’s spending on infrastructure projects; • Limited qualified players in the industry; • Tieling--building a dream city in China;
