WALCOM GROUP LIMITED
(“Walcom” or “the Company”)
Company Update
The Board of Walcom provides an update on its working capital
position.
As previously announced, Mr Francis
Chi, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, has indicated
that he intends to provide a loan of HK$1,230,000 to Walcom Bio-Chemicals Industrial
Limited, Walcom’s wholly owned subsidiary. Mr Francis Chi has confirmed to the Company that it
is still his intention to provide the loan in full, but that
arranging the funding has taken longer than he anticipated.
It is his intention to provide the loan during the week commencing
17 February 2020.
At present and in the absence of the loan from Mr Francis Chi, the Company currently has adequate
working capital to meet its liabilities as they fall due until
Friday 21 February 2020. The Company
is taking what action it can to extend this period, including
discussing more favourable trade terms with its customers and
suppliers. However, whilst the Company is hopeful that it
will secure the necessary funding from Mr Francis Chi, in the event that it is unable to
address the working capital shortfall, it is likely that the
Company will be unable to continue its operations and may be forced
into liquidation with a consequential diminution in value to
shareholders.
Further announcements will be made in due course.
