OBJECTA-The Company has been formed to carry on the business of Brewera, Distillers, Maltsters Wine and Spirit Merchante, Aerated Waters, Cordial and Ice Manufacturers and any other business as indicated in the Memorandum of Association, a copy of which forms part of this prospectus.
PROSPECTS OF COMPANY.-The advent of a Brewery in this Colony cannot nów be looked upon as an entirely new project, but in view of changed conditions, it is no exaggeration to say that its success on the lines indicated in this prospectus may now be anticipated with complote confidence. The main contributing facter is the already largely increased and rapidly growing consumption of beer as a beverage amongst all classes, particularly the Chinese people, in the Far East, giving a market for sales in China alone, which, can be assuredly expected to tax a Brewery such as is proposed to its capacity once the work of its establishment is reasonably advanced. The following facts are presented for consideration :--:
1. All materiali roquired by the Company are duty free in Hong Kong enabling a first class beer to be placed on the market at the lowest possible price. The machinery and plant are being purchased from Mesars, Skoda Works of Pilsen, Czechoslovakia, who are among the leading manufacturers of Brewery plant. The manufacturers have guaranteed the quality and output, and will furnish the services of an expert brewer..
2. The advantage enjoyed in this Colony in comparison with those countries from which our present
aupplies of Bear are Imported; so far as supply and cost of labour is concerned, are manifest
3. Climatic Conditions. One of the most successful Browaries operating in the Far East je at Manila.
4. Furthermore, as the Company requires a refrigerating plant for the Brewery, the manufacture of ice, also accommodation for cold storage will be considered, and will be easy of development as an addi- tional source of revenue. It may be stated that a contract has already been entered into, on behalf of the Company, with the Dairy Farm, Ica and Cold Storage Co., Ltd, for supply at'á remunerative price of the whole of the Company's excess production of ice.
5. The following figures speak for themselves,
Importation of Beer and Stout into Hong Kong.
1926: 496,549 Gallons.
1927: 781,021 Gallons. 1928: 599,856. Gallons.
The exceptional increase in 1927, was due to supplemented Naval and Military forces (the "Shaforce") in Hong Kong.
6. Breweries established at Peiping, Tsingtao, Shanghai and Manila are operating most successfully. SCOPE OF ACTIVITIES.-Brewery: Upon the basis of consumption in the Colony so far na zame is ascertainable, it is estimated that about 50 per cant, will be consumed locally and the remainder will be exported. A reasonable estimate of output is 200 Hogsheade per week.
-Distillery. It is also the intention of the Company to erect a Distillery capable of an output, of about 930,001 gallons per year of alcohol of the highest grade, for drinking purposes as well as for other uses, both for local and export trade.
002 Gar: It is proposed to purchase Liquifying Plant capable of transforming all the CO2 gas obtained by fermentation at the Brewery and Distillery into a marketable product. As this gas is a. by. product of Distilleries and Breweries the turning of it into liquid gas is a comparatively cheap process. 002 gas is used as a refrigerating medium, also in the manufacture of aërated water and for various other purposes. SITE AND WATER SUPPLY. It is proposed to acquire a lease of land situate on Castle Peak Road. The water supply is adequate, and is of the highest quality. The following is an extract from the cartificate of the Hong Kong Government Analyst as to the suitability of the water for Erewing:
"I am of opinion, from the above results, that this water is quite unitable for browing of dark ales, stout and porter, and with the addition of § grains' of magnesium sulphate per gallon, would be suitable for brewing of pale ales."
MANAGEMENT.-A competent Brewer is available; and the executive positions in the Company will be filled by experienced business and technical officern...
CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS:~For the formation of the Company and for the construction of the buildings and the purchase of the necessary plant and machinery for an output of 200 Hogshade of Beer, Inger and Blout per week and 10 tons of Ica per day it is estimated that the capital required will be $500,000.00.
ESTIMATED PROFITS:-It is estimated that the nett profit on the above capital outlay will amount to 24.5 per cent. per annum.
Application for shares should be made upon the form accompanying the Prospectus and sent to the Company's Bantere together with a remittance of $2.50 per share, the amount of the deposit,
Where no allotment is made the deposit will be returned in full and where the number of shares allotted. is less thau the number subscribed a proportionate amount of the deposit will be returned.
Prospectuses can be inspected at and Application forms obtained from the Company's Bankere, and at and from the office of the Company at Rutton Buildings, No. 7, Duddell Street, Victoria, Hong Kong.
