WALCOM GROUP LIMITED
(“Walcom” or “the Company”)
Company update and
further re director loan
Further to the announcement on 16 April
2020, the Board of Walcom provides an update on the
Company’s working capital position.
Mr Francis Chi, Chief Executive
of the Company, has still been unable to provide the proposed loan
of HK$1,230,000 (the “Director Loan”)
to Walcom Bio-Chemicals Industrial Limited, Walcom’s wholly owned
subsidiary, as intended. Mr Chi has, again, reiterated his
intention to provide the Director Loan but there can be no
certainty as to the provision or the timing of the Director
Loan.
As previously announced, the Company was due to make a bank loan
repayment on 23 April 2020. The Company has agreed with the
provider of that loan to defer that loan repayment of RMB250k until 30 April 2020. In addition, a
separate loan repayment of RMB200k is
also due on 30 April 2020.
Based on Walcom’s current cash flow projections, the Company
will be able to continue operations until the date on which these
loan repayments are due to be made. If the Director Loan is
not received prior to 30 April 2020,
the Company will be unable to service the loan repayments and the
Company would be unable to continue its operations and would be
forced into liquidation with a consequential diminution in value to
shareholders.
Further announcements will be made in due course.
