COMPARISON OF BUSINESS OBJECTIVES WITH ACTUAL BUSINESS PROGRESS

The table below sets out the Directors’ analysis by comparing the business objectives of the Group as set out in the Prospectus with the Group’s achievement of these objectives up to 30 June 2017. These business objectives are in place with a view to generating long-term value to the Company and the Shareholders.

Business Objectives

Actual Business Progress up to 30 June 2017

  1. Continue to increase sales of the Group’s self-manufactured products and penetrate markets with growth opportunities

Approximately 78.9% of the Group’s turnover for the Period was derived from sale of self-manufactured products, representing a slight increase from the corresponding period in 2016 whereas the Group’s self-manufactured products accounted for approximately 77.8% of its turnover for that period. Generally in line with the Group’s expansion plan as stated in the Prospectus, the Group has continued to expand its production facilities during the Period. As further elaborated in the Company’s annual report 2016, the Group prioritised further expansion of its more profitable DFN1006 series packages production lines in light of market indication of an increasing demand. The management has reviewed market responses in respect of the SOT723 packages and remains of the view that the Group’s approach towards resources deployment should remain focused on the DFN series packages.

The Group has continued to participate in product exhibition in April 2017 with a view to introducing its products and brands to potential customers.

The number of the Group’s customers increased from 112 as at 30 June 2016 to 134 as at 30 June 2017.

11

Business Objectives

  1. Continue to introduce technologically advanced products and diversify the Group’s presence in industries which the Group considers to have high potential

Actual Business Progress up to 30 June 2017

The Group has successfully introduced its new DFN2010 products which are two or more dies in one package. Mass production of this product commenced in the second quarter of 2017.

Apart from the above, the Group has also developed and expanded its self-manufactured DFN series packages such as DFN1610 and DFN3810 products.

  1. Continue to focus on value-added services to customers

  2. Continue to attract and retain top talent in the industry

The Group has continued to review the performance of its existing engineering and quality management team and evaluating the need (and possible timeframe) for increasing the investment in its engineering and quality management team with a view to offering better value-added services to its customers. For example, the Group’s engineering and quality management staff has increased from 55 as at 30 June 2016 to 72 as at 30 June 2017.

While the Group’s staff count has remained generally stable throughout the Period, it has continued to review its staff performance vis-a-vis the Group’s current business scale and will consider further recruitment as and when the management considers appropriate.

12

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The principal risks and uncertainties in implementing the Group’s business strategies include the following:

  • (i) as technology evolves and as part of the expansion of the Group’s business, the Group may introduce additional products in its product offering range in the future, some of which may require more technologically advanced production facilities. The Group’s existing production facilities and machinery may therefore become gradually obsolete, and the Group will be required to incur additional capital expenditure to invest in new production facilities and machinery;

  • (ii) the overall gross profit margin of the Group’s self-manufactured products may experience fluctuations subject to different matrix of demands by its customers from time to time. In addition, when a more technologically advanced replacement product is introduced to the market, the demand for the existing products being replaced may decrease, and hence adversely affect the product’s gross profit margin;

  • (iii) if the Group is unable to obtain additional packaging equipment or facilities in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost, its competitiveness and future profitability could be adversely affected;

  • (iv) the Group’s production capacity may not correspond precisely to its production demands, and any significant increase in its idle or unutilised production capacity during any particular period could adversely affect the Group’s operating results in that period; and

  • (v) the Group relies on the stable operation of its production facilities and there is no assurance that its production would be free of disruptions in the future.

In addressing these risks and uncertainties, the Group will take a cautious approach when considering new purchases of equipment and machinery and will only do so if and when the Directors consider it to be in the interest of the Group to do so. The Group has also implemented a maintenance system for its facilities and equipment, which includes regular maintenance and repairs, and regular inspections of facilities and equipment. This allows the Group to operate its production lines at optimal levels. The Group carries out routine cleaning and maintenance of its equipment to enhance its useful life. The Group also conducts major annual maintenance work. The Group’s maintenance system aims to maintain operational efficiency and high-quality control standards. The Group has not experienced any material or prolonged interruptions to its manufacturing process due to equipment or machinery failure during the Period.

13

The other risks and uncertainties incidental to the Group’s business operations are detailed further in the Prospectus.

USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THE PLACING

Net proceeds in the amount of approximately HK$40.8 million were raised from the Placing. During the Period, the remaining amount of approximately HK$7.1 million from the net proceeds raised from the Placing has been fully applied towards the purchase of equipment for the expansion of the Group’s production lines including that for its DFN0603 and DFN1006 series packages in light of customers’ demand.

TRANSFER OF LISTING FROM GEM TO THE MAIN BOARD

On 21 March 2017, an application was made by the Company to the Stock Exchange for the Transfer of Listing pursuant to Chapter 9A of the Listing Rules.

The approval-in-principle for the Transfer of Listing was granted by the Stock Exchange on 29 June 2017 and dealings in the Shares on the Main Board (Stock code: 2203) have commenced at 9:00 a.m. on 21 July 2017. The last day of dealings in the Shares on GEM (Stock code: 8327) was 20 July 2017.

The Board believes that the listing of Shares on the Main Board will promote the corporate image of the Group and improve the trading liquidity of the Shares. The Board is of the view that the Transfer of Listing will be beneficial to the future growth and business development of the Group.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Business review

The Group is principally engaged in the assembly, packaging and sales of its self-manufactured discrete semiconductors and trading of semiconductors sourced from third-party suppliers.

14

The scale of the Group’s manufacturing business for the first half of 2017 has demonstrated a growth of approximately 23.0% as compared to the corresponding period in the last year, as brought by the expansion of the Group’s existing production lines for its DFN0603 and DFN1006 series packages. The Group has also expanded its self-manufactured product offerings to include DFN1610, DFN2010 and DFN3810 packages. Those DFN series products are two or more dies in one package and can effectively reduce the components required on the printed circuit boards, thereby increasing efficiency in its production. Their principal applications include various display port interface, HDMI, LAN/WAN equipment, MDDI ports and serial ATA and UDI. As the Group’s manufacturing business continues to grow, its turnover derived from sales of its self-manufactured products during the Period demonstrated an increase as compared to the same period of last year.

In addition to its manufacturing business, the Group continues to operate its trading business during the Period, primarily to supplement its sales of self-manufactured products. The Group acts as a solution kits integrator and is engaged in trading of semiconductors that its customers specifically require, however, are not manufactured by the Group. The product mix required by customers varies from time to time and the Group’s trading segment saw an increase in turnover and an improvement in the segment profit as compared to the corresponding period in the last year.

The Group also continues to provide tailor-made engineering solutions services that cater for its customers’ product design needs during the Period. Although the Group amortises its value-added engineering solutions services into its unit sales prices and does not record them as separate sources of turnover, the Group believes that they have enabled it to create demand for its products. The Group believes that its understanding of its customers’ needs and its ability to deliver high quality products and value-added solution kits services and engineering solutions services have been the key to its success in maintaining stable relationships with its existing customers and attracting new customers.

The number of the Group’s customers increased from 112 as at 30 June 2016 to 134 as at 30 June 2017.

Financial review

Turnover

The turnover of the Group amounted to approximately HK$142.2 million for the Period, representing an increase of approximately HK$25.0 million or 21.3% from approximately HK$117.2 million for the same period of last year. Such increase was primarily attributable to the growth of both the Group’s manufacturing and trading business as a result of its continuous effort in expanding its customer base and production capacity and orders for the new products introduced by the Group in the second quarter of 2016 and the first half of 2017.

15

The turnover derived from sales of its self-manufactured products demonstrated a growth of approximately 23.0% during the Period as compared to the same period of last year. The production volume of the Group’s manufacturing segment witnessed an overall growth during the Period when compared to the same period of last year.

The Group’s trading of products primarily complements sales of self-manufactured products when it provides solution kits services to its customers. The turnover derived from the Group’s trading business increased by approximately 15.4% during the Period as compared to the same period of last year primarily as a result of the widening of the Group’s customer base and the difference in product mix required by its customers from time to time.

Gross profit and gross profit margin

Along with the increase in the Group’s turnover during the Period, the Group’s gross profit amounted to approximately HK$45.4 million for the Period, representing an increase of approximately HK$2.8 million or 6.6% from approximately HK$42.6 million for the same period of last year. The Group’s gross profit margin for the Period was approximately 31.9%, a decrease as compared with the gross profit margin of approximately 36.3% for the same period of last year. Such decrease was primarily the result of varying types and volumes of self-manufactured products (which carry different gross profit margins) sold by the Group to the customers during the Period.

Profit before tax

The Group’s selling and distribution costs for the Period amounted to approximately HK$4.6 million, which represented a decrease of approximately 9.8% from that for the same period of last year. Such decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in commission paid by the Group as the Group had continued to expand its direct customer base. At the same time, the Group’s administrative expenses increased by approximately 26.8%, or HK$3.0 million as compared to approximately HK$11.2 million for the same period of last year, primarily reflecting increases in charitable donations and professional fees incurred by the Group during the Period in respect of its application for the Transfer of Listing for which the Company obtained approval-in-principle from the Stock Exchange in June 2017. As a result, the Group’s profit before tax decreased slightly by approximately HK$1.1 million or 4.0% to approximately HK$26.6 million for the Period from approximately HK$27.7 million for the same period of last year.

16

Income tax expenses

The Group’s income tax expenses for the Period was approximately HK$5.7 million, which was about the same as that for the same period of last year, as a result of the Group’s profit before tax during the Period remaining at a comparable level to that for the same period of last year.

Profit for the Period and total comprehensive income attributable to owners of the Company

The Group’s profit for the Period amounted to approximately HK$21.0 million, representing a decrease by approximately 4.5%, or HK$1.0 million as compared to approximately HK$22.0 million for the same period of last year, which was primarily attributable to the increase in administrative expenses incurred during the Period in connection with the Company’s application for the Transfer of Listing.

Net profit margin for the Period is calculated by dividing the profit for the Period by turnover for the Period. The Group’s net profit margin for the Period was approximately 14.8% as compared to approximately 18.8% for the same period of last year. The decrease in net profit margin was primarily the combined effect of a decrease in the Group’s gross profit margin and an increase in administrative expenses during the Period.

As a result of the foregoing, and favourable exchange differences recorded by the Group during the Period, the Group’s total comprehensive income attributable to owners of the Company for the Period amounted to approximately HK$25.4 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$5.3 million or 26.4% from approximately HK$20.1 million for the same period of last year.

DIVIDENDS

The Board does not recommend the payment of any interim dividend for the six months ended 30 June 2017. During the six months ended 30 June 2016, no interim dividend was paid or declared.

BUSINESS PROSPECT

The Board is pleased to report that, subsequent to the Period, the Company had successfully transferred the listing of the Shares from GEM to the Main Board, and the trading of the Shares on the Main Board commenced on 21 July 2017.

In 2017, the Group believes that there will continue to be a growing demand for packages with increased input/output density, smaller size and better heat dissipation characteristics. The Group will continue its effort in further expanding its production facilities with a view to achieving further growth for the Group through increasing the production capacity for selected products, and offering new technologically advanced products to capture a wider customer base in the PRC, Korea, Hong Kong, and other overseas markets. In face of recent currency fluctuations and worldwide economic uncertainties, as well as potential increases in the costs of raw materials, the Group will remain cautious in evaluating and implementing its business strategies going forward.

In addition to the manufacturing business, the Group will continue to operate its trading business to complement sales of its self-manufactured products.

The Group also intends to maintain and continue to build its knowledge base of designs and engineering solutions to expand the range of value-added services and strengthen the quality of products and services the Group delivers. To achieve this goal, the Group intends to increase the Group’s investment in its engineering and quality management team via, for example, acquisition of additional reliability testing facilities and recruiting additional experts as and when appropriate to enhance application and development capabilities so that it can offer the most efficient value-added services to its customers. The Group will continue to strengthen and streamline its inter-departmental cooperation to keep its product offerings and market intelligence up-to-date in order for its application and development engineers to develop and introduce new designs and engineering solutions that would help its customers to stay abreast of the latest developments in technology.
