the Development and Marketing Division, Projects Division, Corporate Planning and Accounts Section, Finance Section and Human Resources Section, with a view to accommodating the increased manpower while improving employee engagement in a better working environment. The premises of 28/F World Trade Centre will be renovated as our Corporate Office.
An additional office in the New Territories is also on the horizon with the acquisition of an industrial building in Fanling at a price of $270.8 million to support the sales and management of various projects in the New Territories.
Financial Performance
Though the operating environment has been very challenging in the grip of the pandemic, we have been able to maintain a sturdy financial position with prudent management of our business and investments. A net surplus of $7.6 billion was recorded during the year, of which $6.1 billion is attributed to investment gain.
Currently, we have committed over a dozen projects under various housing schemes and the capital commitment is very substantial in the years to come. To cope with the expanded development programme, the Management will work closely with the newly set up Task Force on Financing under the Executive Committee to examine our financial resources and propose a funding strategy that can fulfil our development needs.
Conclusion
The Housing Society has stood the test of 2020/21. We have pulled together amid the unprecedented challenges. There were the front-line workers at our estates and properties working round the clock in a bid to upkeep the good living environment of our residents. Those at elderly housing and social services reinventing programmes to engage the seniors and residents to keep them happy and healthy. The project staff trying all means to keep projects on track. The volunteers who continued to bring a smile to the faces of those in the community. They were the foot soldiers who fought in anonymity.
