In announcing these results, Mr Richard Lee, Chairman of Xact Aid commented as follows: “I am very pleased to be able to report such excellent performance for our ‘inaugural’ release of our operating results as a US listed company. Strong performance from our core markets in Hong Kong and Macau will henceforth be increasingly supplemented by revenues from our developing China distribution network which commenced in October with the opening of our first mainland dealership in the burgeoning coastal city of Dalian.” Mr Lee continued: “The nascent boom in growth in high end consumer spending in China, particularly in the automotive sector, has been well documented in the US and international press. While the already strong image of Ferrari in China was enhanced by the Formula 1 victory at the Shanghai Grand Prix in October, we believe that the excellent positioning of the Maserati Quattroporte with the new automatic gear box as an attractive alternative to the Mercedes Benz S Class and BMW 7 Series, will provide a tremendous boost to Maserati sales in China in 2007.”
Mr Lee concluded: “Our strategy in using the base of our super luxury car business in developing a premium brand platform for China has been timed to coincide with the explosion of Chinese consumer spending, particularly in the luxury brand sector. The emergence of a Chinese consumer class is the first ever for this modernizing republic and our group is perfectly positioned to capitalize on this transition and reward our shareholders in the process.”
