NOTES:

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”). They have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss and investment properties, which are carried at fair value.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies.

The following amendments to standards and interpretations are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011, but they are not relevant to the Group’s operations:

HKAS 24 (revised) Related party disclosures HK(IFRIC)-Int 14 (amendment) Prepayments of a minimum funding requirement Annual improvements project Improvements to HKFRSs 2010

New or revised standards, amendments and interpretations have been issued but are not effective for the financial year beginning 1 January 2011 and have not been early adopted.

HKFRS 1 (amendment) Severe hyperinflation and removal of fixed dates for first-time adopters
HKFRS 7 (amendment) Disclosures – transfers of financial assets
HKFRS 9 Financial instruments
HKFRS 10 Consolidated financial statements
HKFRS 11 Joint arrangements
HKFRS 12 Disclosure of interests in other entities
HKFRS 13 Fair value measurements
HKAS 1 (amendment) Presentation of financial statements
HKAS 12 (amendment) Deferred tax: recovery of underlying assets
HKAS 19 (amendment) Employee benefits
HKAS 27 (revised 2011) Separate financial statements
HKAS 28 (revised 2011) Associates and joint ventures
HKAS 32 (amendment) Financial instruments: presentation – offsetting financial assets and
financial liabilities
HK(IFRIC)-Int 20 Stripping costs in the production phase of a surface mine

The Group is in the process of making an assessment of the impact of the new or revised standards, amendments to and interpretations of existing standards upon initial application. So far, except for HKFRS 9 “Financial instruments” and HKAS 12 (Amendment) “Deferred tax: recovery of underlying assets”, it has concluded that new or revised standards, amendments to and interpretations of existing standards are unlikely to have significant impact on the Group’s results of operations and financial position.

– 5 –

HKFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’ addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. HKFRS 9 was issued in November 2009 and October 2010. It replaces the parts of HKAS 39 that relate to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. HKFRS 9 requires financial assets to be classified into two measurement categories: those measured as at fair value and those measured at amortised cost. The determination is made at initial recognition. The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. For financial liabilities, the standard retains most of the HKAS 39 requirements. The main change is that, in cases where the fair value option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change due to an entity’s own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income rather than the income statement, unless this creates an accounting mismatch. The group is yet to assess HKFRS 9’s full impact and intends to adopt HKFRS 9 upon its effective date, which is for the accounting period beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

HKAS 12 (Amendment) ‘Deferred tax: recovery of underlying assets’ introduces an exception to the principle for the measurement of deferred tax assets or liabilities arising on an investment property measured at fair value. HKAS 12 requires an entity to measure the deferred tax relating to an asset depending on whether the entity expects to recover the carrying amount of the asset through use or sale. The amendment introduces a rebuttable presumption that an investment property measured at fair value is recovered entirely by sale. Since there is no capital gains tax in Hong Kong, such amendment is likely to reduce significantly the deferred income tax liabilities relating to investment property recognised by the Group.

2. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group’s senior executive management is considered as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The Group was organised into two operating divisions:

Electronic Manufacturing Service (“EMS”) – manufacture and distribution of electronic products for EMS customers.

Original Design and Manufacturing (“ODM”) – original design and manufacturing for both EMS and ODM customers.

The CODM reviews the performance of the Group on a regular basis and reviews the Group’s internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. The CODM assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of segment results. This measurement basis includes profit or loss of the operating segments before other income, other gains – net, share of loss of associates and jointly controlled entities, interest income, interest expense, tax and change in fair value of investment properties but excludes corporate and unallocated expenses. Other information provided to the Group’s management is measured in a manner consistent with that in the consolidated financial statements.

Hong Kong profits tax has been provided at the rate of 16.5% (2010: 16.5%) on the estimated assessable profit arising in or derived from Hong Kong.

The new Corporate Income Tax Law in the People’s Republic of China increases the corporate income tax rate for foreign investment enterprises from previous preferential rates to 25% with effect from 1 January 2008. Companies established in Mainland China before 16 March 2007 and previously taxed at the rate lower than 25% may be offered a gradual increase of tax rate to 25% within 5 years. Certain subsidiaries of the Company established in Mainland China will enjoy preferential income tax rate from 2008 to 2011 and be taxed at the rate of 25% from 2012 when the preferential treatment expires.

5. DIVIDENDS

The dividends paid in 2011 and 2010 were approximately HK$42,563,000 (HK$0.09 per share) and HK$25,760,000 (HK$0.055 per share) respectively. A final dividend in respect of the year ended 31 December 2011 of HK$0.04 per share, amounting to a total dividend of approximately HK$18,979,000, will be proposed at the upcoming annual general meeting of the Company.

6. EARNINGS PER SHARE

(a) Basic

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.

(b) Diluted

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company has outstanding share options, which are of dilutive potential. For share options, a calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average annual market share price of the Company’s shares) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding share options. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

The Group

During the year, we experienced a challenging operating environment. There were tsunami in Japan in March and serious flooding in Thailand across October and November. All these events resulted in the supply shortage for some key components and customer demand decline. In this connection, the Group’s revenue was HK$3.9 billion (2010: HK$3.9 billion).

Profit attributable to owners of the Company was HK$175.5 million (2010: HK$196.9 million), 10.9% decrease from last year. The decrease was driven by the sales drop and the operating costs increase specifically in PRC environment as the result of labour shortage and wage increase, inflation and Renminbi appreciation. In response to the challenging environment in PRC, the Group has been carrying out a series of programs in improving its operational efficiency, which include the streamlining of workforce, consolidating its supply chain to reduce the material costs, and subduing its capital expenditure outlay. In doing so, the Directors believe the Group is responding and performing well under such a difficult environment. In July 2011, Focus Media Network Limited (“FMN”), in which the Group has currently 18.75% interests, went listed in the GEM Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”). A deemed disposal gain of HK$25.9 million was included in the Group results.

The EMS Division

The revenue of the Electronic Manufacturing Service Division (“EMS Division”) was HK$3.9 billion (2010: HK$3.9 billion). Sales revenues for Shajing factory in Shenzhen slightly decreased mainly due to the customer demand drop in computer peripheral and networking products resulting from the supply shortages after Japan tsunami and Thailand flood. However, the sales revenue of Suzhou factory increased moderately as compared with 2010 as the customer’s demand in industrial products remained growing.

The segment profit attributable to EMS Division was HK$165.0 million for the year of 2011, 25.2% decrease as compared with HK$220.6 million for 2010, which resulted from Shajing’s reduced sales revenue and Suzhou’s increased operating costs.

The EMS Division overall faced a challenging business environment as impacted by slow recovery of US economy, unstable financials of Euro area and natural disasters in Japan and Thailand. It experienced cost increasing in wages and other costs and Renminbi appreciation in PRC, which is expected to continue in the next year and foreseeable future. In order to cope with these expected increases in operating costs and help improve profit margins, the EMS Division will endeavour to strengthen its controls of inventory and operating costs, and keep improving the productivity and efficiency in its manufacturing process. It will also focus on providing more value added engineering services to the customers.

The ODM Division

The Original Design and Manufacturing Division (“ODM Division”) had its revenue of HK$26.1 million, 443.8% increase from 2010’s HK$4.8 million. Its segment loss was reduced to HK$8.2 million from 2010’s HK$18.6 million. The revenue increase for 2011 mainly came from the new sales by iCarte for Apple iPhone to South Korea and Australia. International sales of iCarte generated from Europe, South Korea and Australia on new mobile payment deployments are expectedly the key growth drivers for the expansion in 2012 while PRC business development has started.

The Group has started a new ODM business early 2012. The business will be engaged in marketing and sales, design, and production in a private label brand through retail channel in the USA and other countries. It is expected that the full impact of the business will be seen in 2013.

Property Development

Kwun Tong office buildings

The Group has two jointly controlled entities with Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited on the development of two sites for office buildings. The Group has paid its proportional share of the land premium for lease modification on one of these two sites. The first site’s foundation works has completed. In respect of the second site where Wong’s Industrial Centre was previously located, the land premium is still in discussion.

Mid-level residential

Throughout the year, the project development company sold two residential units for around HK$76.0 million as well as four car park spaces. As at 31 December 2011, one duplex residential unit and five car park spaces were unsold. According to the current market conditions, the Directors expected that the balance of the amount due from the Mid-level development project and the investment cost would be recoverable and thus no further impairment provision is necessary.

Media Network

FMN is on out-of-home digital screen network business, which is one of the fastest growing advertising sectors after the internet. On 28 July 2011, FMN was successfully listed on the GEM Board of the Stock Exchange, equity interest owned by the Group in FMN was diluted to 18.75% (25% immediately before IPO). In addition, the composition of the Board of Director of FMN was restructured after its listing. As a result, the Directors considered that the Group could no longer exercise significant influence over FMN. The investment in FMN was reclassified as an availablefor-sale financial asset. A deemed disposal gain of HK$25.9 million due to dilution effect of the Group’s interests in the investment upon IPO was recognised in the consolidated income statement.

FINANCE

As at 31 December 2011, the Group had banking facilities in Hong Kong of HK$1,236.4 million in total. Total bank borrowings were HK$310.9 million, of which a loan of HK$30.1 million was arranged by an overseas subsidiary. Cash and bank deposits were HK$681.4 million at 31 December 2011 (2010: HK$578.0 million).

Overall, the Group had a net cash surplus of HK$370.5 million in excess of the bank borrowings, as compared to 2010’s net cash surplus of HK$141.8 million. The increase came from the operating results.

Most of the Group’s sales are conducted in United States dollars and costs and expenses are mainly in United States dollars, Hong Kong dollars, Japanese Yen and Chinese Renminbi. Forward contracts are used to hedge foreign exchange exposures where it is necessary or practicable.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE

There had been no material change in the Group’s capital structure since 31 December 2010, which consists of bank borrowings, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to owners of the parent, comprising issued share capital and reserves.

EMPLOYEES

As at 31 December 2011, the Group employed approximately 5,000 employees where approximately 4,100 were production workers. In addition to the provision of annual bonuses, medical and life insurance, discretionary bonuses are also available to employees based on individual performance. The remuneration packages and policies are reviewed periodically.

The Group also provides in-house and external training programs to its employees.

AWARD & RECOGNITION

The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wong’s Electronics Company Limited were awarded the Caring Company Logo 2011/2012 by the Hong Kong Council of Social Service in recognition of their active participation in community activities and good corporate citizenship.

PROSPECTS

Recent evidences indicate that the economic recovery in US remains slow and there is no indication of good solution to ease the financial instability in Euro area. Such vulnerable economic environment will inevitably limit the customer demand in the coming year.

As to the business environment in which our factories are operating, the challenges in labour shortage, wage increase, inflation and Renminbi appreciation continue to increase the operating cost and, to some extent, erode our profitability.

In this connection, the Group foresees that its revenue and results for the coming year 2012 will be affected by the unfavorable factors.

The property development in Kwun Tong office building on the first site is expected to complete by the end of 2013.

Nevertheless, the Group will find ways to improve the sales, streamline the operations and enhance its efficiency.

On behalf of the Directors, I would like to sincerely thank our customers, suppliers and business partners for their continued confidence in and support to the Group. I would also like to pay a special tribute to all of our employees for their loyal, diligent and professional services to the Group.

PURCHASE, SALE OR REDEMPTION OF THE COMPANY’S LISTED SECURITIES

During the year ended 31 December 2011, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries purchased, sold or redeemed any of the Company’s listed securities.

CODE ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

During the year ended 31 December 2011, the Company has complied with the code provisions of the Code on Corporate Governance Practices (the “Code”) as set out in Appendix 14 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange (the “Listing Rules”), except for the following deviations:

1. Code provision A.2.1

Mr. Wong Chung Mat, Ben is the Group’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and has occupied these two positions since February 2003. In allowing the two positions to be occupied by the same person, the Company has considered the following:

  • (a) Both positions require in-depth knowledge and considerable experience of the Group’s business. Candidates with the suitable knowledge, experience and leadership are difficult to find both within and outside the Group. If either of the positions is occupied by an unqualified person, the Group’s performance could be gravely compromised.

  • (b) The Company believes that the supervision of the Board and its Independent Non-executive Directors can provide an effective check and balance mechanism and ensures that the interests of the shareholders are adequately represented.

2. Code provision A.4.1

None of the existing Non-executive Directors of the Company is appointed for a specific term. This constitutes a deviation from code provision A.4.1 of the Code. However, every Director of the Company is now subject to retirement by rotation under Bye-law 112 of the Bye-laws of the Company. As such, the Company considers that sufficient measures have been taken to ensure that the Company’s corporate governance practices are no less exacting than those in the Code.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE MODEL CODE FOR SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS BY DIRECTORS OF LISTED ISSUERS

The Company has adopted the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers (the “Model Code”) as set out in Appendix 10 to the Listing Rules. Having made specific enquiry to all Directors, all Directors confirmed that they had complied with the required standard set out in the Model Code during the year ended 31 December 2011.
