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 HKICPA has amended HKAS 12, ‘Income taxes’, to introduce 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. The amendment is applicable retrospectively to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012.

The Group has adopted this amendment retrospectively for the financial year ended 31 December 2012 and the effects of adoption are disclosed as follows.

The Group has investment properties measured at their fair values totalling HK$46,600,000 (1 January 2011: HK$35,550,000) as of 1 January 2012. As required by the amendment, the Group has re-measured the deferred tax relating to certain investment properties amounting to HK$46,600,000 (1 January 2011: HK$35,550,000) as of 1 January 2012 according to the tax consequence on the presumption that they are recovered entirely by sale retrospectively. The comparative figures for 2011 have been restated to reflect the change in accounting policy, as summarised below.

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 profit/(loss) of associates and jointly controlled entities, interest income, interest expense, income tax expense 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.

– 10 –

Hong Kong profits tax has been provided at the rate of 16.5% (2011: 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.

6. DIVIDENDS

(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 have experienced a challenging macroeconomic environment. The protracted downturn in European sovereign debt crisis, along with the slow economic recovery in the United States and Japan has reduced the customer demand on our electronic products. In view of the foregoing, for the fiscal year of 2012, the Group’s turnover decreased 14.7% from HK$3.92 billion in 2011 to HK$3.34 billion in 2012.

Profit attributable to owners of the Company was HK$100.3 million compared to the HK$177.3 million in 2011, 43.4% decrease from last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decline in sales revenue, and the higher wages in our mainland China operations.

The EMS Division

The revenue of the Electronic Manufacturing Service Division (“EMS Division”) decreased 15.3% to HK$3.3 billion in 2012, from HK$3.9 billion in 2011. Sales revenues for Shajing factory in Shenzhen dropped by 20.5%, while the factory at Suzhou decreased slightly by 1.9% when compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease in the overall sales at EMS Division was largely driven by reduction in demand of electronic products from our customers as a result of the protracted downturn in global economy.

The segment profit attributable to EMS Division was HK$90.4 million for the year of 2012, 45.2% decrease as compared with HK$165.0 million for 2011. The decrease in the segment results was mainly attributable to lower level of sales during the year.

In response to the challenging business environment as impacted by slow recovery of US economy and the unstable financial conditions of Euro area, together with the continued cost increase in wages and other operational costs in China, the EMS Division will endeavour to strengthen its control on inventory and manufacturing costs to improve its operational efficiency. 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”) reported its revenue of HK$50.5 million, 93.4% increase from 2011’s HK$26.1 million. Its segment loss was reduced to HK$6.9 million from 2011’s HK$8.2 million. The revenue increase for 2012 mainly was due to the increased sales by iCarte for Apple[®] iPhone[®] to South Korea, Australia, Europe and the U.S. As the global adoption of NFC mobile payment accelerates, we are projecting the international sales of iCarte to continue grow into 2013.

Apple and iPhone are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.

Property Development

The Group has two jointly controlled entities with Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited on the development of two sites for office buildings in Kwun Tong. The Group has paid its proportional share of the land premium for lease modification on one of these two sites. The construction works for the first site are expected to be completed near the end of 2013. In respect of the second site where previous Wong’s Industrial Centre was located, the land premium assessment was finalized in March 2013. Demolition of Wong’s Industrial Centre on the second site is expected to commence in second half of 2013.

FINANCE

As at 31 December 2012, the Group had banking facilities in Hong Kong of HK$1,800.8 million in total. Total bank borrowings were HK$348.1 million, of which a loan of HK$27.1 million was incurred by an overseas subsidiary. Cash and cash equivalents were HK$801.8 million at 31 December 2012 (2011: HK$681.4 million).

Overall, the Group had a net cash surplus of HK$453.7 million in excess of the bank borrowings, as compared to 2011’s net cash surplus of HK$370.5 million. The increase was mainly due to the positive cash flow generated 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 2011, which consists of bank borrowings, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to owners of the parent, comprising issued share capital and reserves.

AWARD & RECOGNITION

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

PROSPECTS

The recent sales forecasts provided by our customers for the early part of 2013 have been picking up suggesting the global growth is recovering. While the Group is cautiously optimistic about the business outlook for 2013, we believe uncertainties remain on the global economic condition for the year 2013.

LONG TERM SHAREHOLDER VALUE

We are constantly striving to create long term value for our shareholders. We aim to achieve this objective via enhancing and strengthening the Company’s profitability. To this end, we are diligently working on diversifying our business segments into property development and investment, office leasing and retail outlets; expanding our product lines by offering total solutions to customers via new product design and development; increasing our services revenue through new technology development and brand recognition; and continued improving and streamlining the operation efficiency in our manufacturing business. We shall focus on investing in our business through strategic investments and capital structure. We believe this will increase our quality of earnings and result in a stable stream of income, value and cash flow to our shareholders.

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 2012, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries purchased, sold or redeemed any of the Company’s listed securities.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE

During the year ended 31 December 2012, the Company has complied with the code provisions under the Code on Corporate Governance Practices (the “Former CG Code”, effective until 31 March 2012) and the Corporate Governance Code (the “Existing CG Code”, effective on 1 April 2012) as set out in Appendix 14 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”)(the “Listing Rules”), except for the following deviations:

– 15 –

Deviations from Former CG Code and Existing CG Code

Code provision A.2.1

Code provision A.2.1 provides that the roles of chairman and chief executive should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual.

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.

Code provision A.4.1

Code provision A.4.1 provides that non-executive directors should be appointed for a specific term, subject to re-election.

None of the existing Non-executive Directors of the Company is appointed for a specific term. However, every Director of the Company is now subject to retirement by rotation and re-election 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 Former CG Code and the Existing CG Code.

Deviation from Existing CG Code

Code provisions A.5.1 to A.5.4

Code provisions A.5.1 to A.5.4 provide that a nomination committee should be established with specific terms of reference which should be made available on the websites of the Stock Exchange and the listed issuer, and that sufficient resources should be provided to such committee to perform its duties.

The Company does not have present intention to establish a Nomination Committee in view that the Board itself shall discharge all duties expected to be dealt with by a Nomination Committee. In addition, the policy and procedure for nomination of directors have been set out in writing and adopted by the Board to serve as a guideline in order to ensure that there is a formal, considered and transparent procedure for the appointment of new directors with suitable experience and capabilities to maintain and improve the competitiveness of the Company.
