Prospects

Looking ahead, the Group will continue to expand its IDC business. In addition to the IDC project in Panyu, the Group has made a successful bid on a land parcel in Heshan City on 6 January 2017 and will use it for the construction of the "Bluesea Big Data Industrial Park" which will feature a big data enterprise incubation platform made possible through government guidance, market conditions and policy support.

Moreover, riding on favorable policies and support from the PRC government towards these fast growing sectors, the Group will continue to explore potential investment opportunities in IDC, cloud computing and related businesses and strive to reward shareholders with better results.
