Note: The expected timeline for using the Remaining Proceeds is based on the best estimation and assumption of the future market conditions made by the Group. It will be subject to change based on the current and future development of market conditions.

REASONS FOR PROLONGING THE TIMELINE FOR USING THE REMAINING PROCEEDS

The Group has been facing challenges in obtaining new businesses in the past few financial years due to the continuing weakness and the keen competition in the foundation industry. In addition, the postponement of site examination by the government departments due to the health measures of coronavirus disease pandemic (the ''COVID-19'') since early 2020 have increased the overhead costs of the construction projects. These factors have adversely affected the Group's profitability and operating results and the Board foresees that these factors would persist in the near future.

The Remaining Proceeds are expected to be used in accordance with the Company's plan as disclosed in the Prospectus, except that the original timeline for the Group's expansion plan has been prolonged due to the aforesaid factors. The Board believes that it is financially prudent to prolong the timeline for implementing the business expansion as this would enhance the liquidity management of the Group and allows greater flexibility in responding to different challenges ahead. As it is premature to assess the extent and duration of the impact of the COVID-19 on the foundation industry and Hong Kong economy as a whole, the Group currently plans to prolong the timeline for using the Remaining Proceeds up to the financial year ending 31 March 2023.
