Overview of the industry
From 2008 to 2013, the total revenue of Jingxing Planning Services increased from about HK $10.4 billion in 2008 to about HK $34.2 billion in 2013, with an annual growth rate of 26.9%. The increase in total income is mainly due to the strong increase in income from infrastructure and public space projects in China. For the year ended December 31, 2013, basic facilities and public space projects should account for HK $23.1 billion in total revenue, accounting for about 67.5% of the total revenue for that year.
The increase in income from infrastructure and public space projects is due to the Chinese government's policy of urbanization and urbanization in China. In 1992, the State Council of China promulgated the regulations on the urbanization of Chinese cities, which was the first piece of legislation regulating the management of China's landscape planning and service industry. It promotes the advanced technology of urban urbanization and urban urbanization, and establishes an information system to provide landscape design services. In November 2012, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Construction issued guidelines on promoting the healthy development of urban forestry, further requiring that by 2020, in accordance with the first-and second-level national standards stipulated in the urban forestry assessment standards, the urbanization rates of developed areas will be raised to 35% and 31%, respectively. In 2012, about 30% of China's cities reached the national standard. In order to meet China's legal standards, government expenditure related to insurance and transformation has increased in the past few years and is expected to continue to grow. In addition to favourable government policies, another driver is the increase in government spending related to city planning (which will include infrastructure and public space projects, municipal projects and travel infrastructure projects). The total government expenditure planned by relevant cities increased from about 146 billion Hong Kong dollars in 2008 to about 462 billion Hong Kong dollars in 2013, with an annual growth rate of about 25.9 percent.
The rapid development of China's residential real estate market and commercial real estate market has also become a market dynamic force for the continuous growth of service demand for economic construction. From 2008 to 2013, residential development projects have become the second largest collection type in landscape projects; from 2008 to 2013, revenue generated from commercial and multi-purpose development projects recorded a second-highest annual growth rate of 27.2%.
The income generated by housing development projects and commercial and multi-purpose development projects in the housing industry has increased. From 2008 to 2013, the total investment value of the residential property market increased at an annual compound growth rate of about 24.1%, while from 2008 to 2013, the total market investment value of the commercial real estate market increased at an annual compound growth rate of about 32.6%.
The Chinese government regulates the residential property market by curbing investment demand, and at the same time promotes the demand for end-of-life housing and supports related supply to cities with a total population of more than 10 million. As a result, the effect of real estate regulatory measures will be offset by rising demand for residential property, which is estimated to have a combined annual growth rate of 14.5% from 2014 to 2018. On the other hand, as the Chinese government's strict control policy on real estate does not apply to the commercial real estate market, it is expected that the total investment value of the commercial real estate market from 2014 to 2018 will increase at an estimated annual growth rate of about 21.3%. The increase will be offset by the increase in China's total domestic product and the higher return on investment in commercial property, which will also be shifted from residential to commercial property.
As mentioned above, the total revenue of the planning services business will increase from about HK $38.1 billion in 2014 to about HK $61.2 billion in 2018. During the period from 2014 to 2018, the main receiving project types are still residential development project base facilities and public space projects, while commercial and multi-purpose development projects are expected to record the highest annual growth rate of all other project types, with an estimated annual growth rate of 21.3% from 2014 to 2018, in line with the total increase in commercial real estate market investment in the same period.
Driven by the demand for China's landscape planning services, the landscape planning services are on the rise. From 2009 to 2010, the provision of landscape design services for tourism and hotel projects, infrastructure facilities and public space projects increased rapidly by about 44.7% and about 53.6%, respectively. This is mainly due to the economic stimulus measures taken by the Chinese government in response to the global financial crisis and economic downturn in 2008 and 2009.
Profit ability and duty number

Collection purpose
Of the HK $88.88 million (calculated on the basis of HK $1.10 of the median number of shares sold), about 40% will be used to cover the planned expenditure of the company's related major services; about 30% will be used to cover the planned expenditure related to the establishment of new regional offices in China; and about 10% will be used to set up branch offices to expand the company's activities to other regions of China. About 10% will be used to increase the company's sales and advertising efforts through different channels, including mass media, exhibitions, activities and training programs of Jingjing equipment and service business, and about 10% will be used for external financing and other general corporate purposes.
Valuation
According to the IPO price HK$1.0 to 1.2, the price-to-earnings ratio of the pan-Asian environment in 2013 is 10.56-12.67 times, and the price-to-price ratio is 2.50-2.67 times. In the market, only 1237.HK trades at 5.2 times earnings, but shares have underperformed since they went public. Of course, the company's gross profit margin can be maintained at 54.9% in 2013, but due to the increasing demand in the real estate market in China and Hong Kong, it is expected that the relevant banks will be adversely affected, so investors are advised to invest in the market.
