VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT

BUSINESS UPDATE & FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

This announcement is made by Ming Fai International Holdings Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group") on a voluntary basis to provide the latest business update and financial highlights to the shareholders of the Company and potential investors.

Business Update

During the three months ended 31 March 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to affect seriously the travel, tourism and aviation industries and led to the worldwide economic downturn. Meanwhile, the under strain China-U.S. relationship and the resulting trade tension as well as the stringent global environmental protection laws and regulations were still posing operational difficulty on the Group's hospitality supplies and operating supplies and equipment businesses. In addition, the over-supply of the disinfectant and sanitizing products in the global markets, coupling with increasingly intense competition also brought adverse impact to the Group's health care and hygienic products business.

During the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group had received various governmental subsidies of approximately HK$31.5 million, which were recognized either as other income or reductions in relevant expenses. It is uncertain that the above subsidies and reductions would be available in 2021.
