HISTORY AND CORPORATE STRUCTURE

OUR HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT

Our history can be traced back to 1998 when Mr. Lao, our founder, together with two Independent Third Parties, namely Mr. Su Dehui and Mr. Tang Zengshu, incorporated SFS Construction , our operating subsidiary, to provide structural works and fitting-out works services in Macau. In 2003, Mr. Su Dehui and Mr. Tang Zengshu transferred all their respective shareholding in SFS Construction Macau to Mrs. Lao, the spouse of Mr. Lao. Mr. Lao is also our Chairman, executive Director and Controlling Shareholder. Please refer to the section headed “Directors, Senior Management and Employees — Directors and senior management — Executive Directors” in this document for Mr. Lao’s background.

Soon after the incorporation of SFS Construction Macau, SFS Construction Macau was awarded with its first major project with regard to the roof works of government building in Macau which was completed in 1999.

In 2001, Macau had opened up its locally-controlled casino industry to foreign competition and Macau was transformed into one of the world’s largest gaming centres. As a result, Macau’s economy experienced a rapid expansion, a number of large-scale construction projects such as hotels, casinos, commercial development and major infrastructures were envisaged and subsequently realised. After completion of roof works of government building, our Group had participated in various construction projects in the private sector. One of our important projects was to provide structural works for a hotel and casino located at Avenida de Lisboa, Macau, which we acted as one of the major subcontractors and used “top-down construction method” in the construction process so that the high-rise superstructure works and the substructure works could be carried out at the same time. The project was completed in 2008. Our Group also has been awarded with more construction contracts in Macau, such as a hotel located at Santo Anto´nio, Macau in 2006 and the department store located at Avenida Comercial de Macau in 2007. Such projects involved various construction works, including structural works and fitting-out works. In 2009, our Group completed the interior fitting-out works of a hotel and casino in Cotai, Macau. Over the years, our Group has undertaken various construction works in Macau, including structural works for hotels, department store and residential properties, and fitting-out works for the entertainment facilities, restaurants, commercial buildings, various hotels and casinos. Please refer to the paragraph headed “Key business milestones” in this section for our other projects.

With an increase in the construction of new hotels and casinos during 2013 and 2014, Our Group had participated in various structural works and fitting-out works for certain high-end hotels and casinos. In 2013 and 2014, we had been awarded with four large-scale structural works contracts for the hotels and casinos in Cotai, Macau. These four structural works projects which contributed to our revenue approximately MOP408.2 million, MOP161.0 million, MOP126.7 million and MOP11.4 million during the years ended 31 December 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 respectively, had taken up most of the capacity of our Group till the end of 2015. As a number of sizeable hotel and casino structural projects reaching final stage during the period 2015 to 2016 and moving to the next phase of construction, we carried on more fitting-out works to capture the industry demand. Our Group had over eight on-going fitting-out works projects for hotels and casinos, for each of the years ended 31 December 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively.
