Dear Mr Yap,
Q1) In the 2015Q1 quarterly report, it is stated that Qian Hu has taken over Batu Pahat land from Kim Kang and is in process of disposing it. In quarterly reports from 2015Q2 to 2016Q2,it is stated that Qian Hu is in process of taking over the land. Is the information in 2015Q1 report correct? If not, why? Why does it take more than 1 year to take over the land?
Q2) What is the current amount of trade receivables due from GZQH? How much of the amount is guaranteed by the major shareholder and director of the Company? If the trade receivables due from GZQH is more than the amount guaranteed, why? If the GZQH trade receivables are increasing instead of decreasing, why? Why these amounts are not in the 2016Q2 quarterly report? Can these amounts be included in 2016Q3 report onwards.
Hi Lian Teck,
Q1) The ownership of land in Malaysia by a foreign company requires more steps and procedures hence the longer time for completion. We expect completion soon.
Q2) The entire trade receivables from GZQH are guaranteed. The legacy receivable amount is being reduced every year. However, we are still doing business with GZQH, hence the total trade receivable amount fluctuates. We are trying to do more to reduce the total trade receivable amount and contain the fluctuation.
Thank you!

I've noticed your online store on Qoo10 which only ships to Singapore. Why don't you open your own online store or sell thru amazon to ship globally?
Hi Colin,
We are preparing to do something online in China this year.
Thank you!

Dear Tony Lim, you wrote:
Your revenue barely covers your general & administrative expenses. Do you have any plans to cut operating cost to boost profits?
Hi Tony,
We are aggressively containing our cost. However, we need to invest in our people, research & development and pilot projects for new businesses for the future. These initiatives incur cost up front.
Thank you!
