CHINA INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT LIMITED 4 THIRD QUARTERLY REPORT 2016

In September 2016, Golden Sunweave Limited, the Subscriber, being a direct whollyowned subsidiary of the Company, Macro China Holding Limited (the “Target Company “), and Mr. Chan Kai Leung, the current director and ultimate beneficial owner of 20% shareholding interest of the Target Company as the guarantor (the “Guarantor”) entered into the subscription agreement dated 12 September 2016 (the “Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which the Target Company has conditionally agreed to allot and issue and the Subscriber has conditionally agreed to subscribe for the subscription shares, representing 525% of the issued share capital of the Target Company and 84% of the total issued share capital of the Target Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the subscription shares, at the total Subscription Price of HK$8,400,000 (the “Subscription”). The Target Group provides comprehensive end-toend solutions and services, ranging from (i) procurement and deployment of IT equipment and facilities; (ii) systems integration; (iii) consulting services on IT infrastructure and business solutions; and (iv) technical support and managed services. As one of the major players in the IT service management industry in Hong Kong and the PRC, the Target Company has strong relationships with well-renowned suppliers and large scale customers, by entering into the Subscription Agreement, it enjoys strong brand awareness and major presence in the Greater China region.

The Board expects that, through bringing in the Group’s seasoned management team into the Target Company and its group companies (the “Target Group”) and sharing technical know-how and existing customer bases between the Group and the Target Group, the subscription will create synergies that allow the Group to better complement its existing business. In addition, given (i) the similarity of the business nature of the Group and the Target Group and (ii) that subject to entering into of the service contracts, each of the executives of the Target Company will continue his/her employment service to the Target Company for 3 years, the integration risks of the enlarged Group are expected to be minimal. The Board is of the view that is in line with the Group’s business expansion plan. Furthermore, the Board believes, with financial support of the Group, the cash flow of the Target Group will be improved, which will facilitate the Target Company to engage in those large scale projects, which are generally of high profit margin. More details on the transaction had been disclosed in the relevant announcement dated 12 September 2016. An extraordinary general meeting (“EGM”) will be held to seek for shareholders’ approval on this transaction. A circular in relation to the Subscription and EGM will be published once available.

Other than the above, during the period under review, revenue from provision of information technology related services in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) remained as staple income of the Group.

Outlook and Prospect

Currently, the Pantosoft operation is the main revenue and income drivers of the Group.

During the period under review, the Company has further demonstrated its determination to broaden the business scope, diversify business of the Group and open up new income source. The business structure of the Company has been more complete and refined upon the corporate actions. The Company shall continue with the refurbishment of the PRC office properties and occupy the same as the Group’s future headquarters in the PRC to tie up the existing and new businesses together and completes the whole strategic business development plan of the Group. In this nurturing ground where different businesses of the Group will be located, the resources and different knowledge gained from various businesses of the Group can be more efficiently utilised and shared. Together with the experience and knowledge of the Group in the IT field, the Group believes that the Acquisition and the Subscription can help further to equip the Group to further expand its existing and future businesses.

With the aforesaid, the Company is fueled up and equipped so as to expand the Group’s footprint in the PRC and ASEAN Regions with the new headquarter in Guangzhou, the joint venture arrangement and cooperation with Jiji Press and the Subscription described in the above, together with the existing business and other new IT related projects to come in future.

Employees

The total number of full-time employees hired by the Group maintained at 111 as of 30 September 2016 (2015: 150 employees). Total expenses on employee benefits amounted to HK$36,314,000 (2015: HK$18,490,000), in which HK$19,625,000 related to equity-settled share based payment for the nine months ended 30 September 2016 (2015: HK$Nil). The management believes the salaries offered by the Group to its employees are competitive.

Financial review

For the nine months ended 30 September 2016, the Group recorded a revenue of HK$7,535,000, a decrease of 50.6% from HK$15,255,000 in the corresponding period in last year. The revenue of Pantosoft shrank as compared to the same period of the year 2015. Pantosoft had had soft first and third quarters for 2016. Though the revenue for the second quarter of 2016 was comparable to 2015, the total revenue for the first three quarters of 2016 still significantly fell short of that for 2015.

The Group had a total cost of sales and services of HK$10,282,000 for the first three quarters of the year 2016, a decrease of 8.2% compared with HK$11,206,000 in the same period of year 2015. There was a fixed cost element of approximately HK$2.5 million for R&D costs charged as cost of sales and services for a quarter. Other than that, the decrease in cost of sales and services was a direct result of the decrease in revenue.

CHINA INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT LIMITED THIRD QUARTERLY REPORT 2016

The gross loss of the Group for the first three quarters of year 2016 was HK$2,747,000, representing a decrease of 167.8% compared with gross profit of HK$4,049,000 in corresponding period of last year. Overall, Pantosoft had insufficient gross profit from revenue to cover the fixed cost element mentioned above so it generated a gross loss as compared to a profit.

During the nine months ended 30 September 2016, the Group generated other income and gains of HK$2,827,000 (2015: HK$8,333,000) which comprised: (i) bank interest income amounted to HK$6,000 (2015: HK$17,000); (ii) loans interest income amounted to HK$1,497,000 (2015: HK$214,000); (iii) bonus issue of shares from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss amounted to HK$Nil (2015: HK$6,671,000) (iv) investment income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss amounted to HK$320,000 (2015: HK$246,000); and (v) other miscellaneous income amounted to HK$1,004,000 (2015: HK$1,185,000).

The Group’s selling and distribution expenses for the first three quarters of year 2016 amounted to HK$4,564,000, a decrease of 49.4% compared with HK$9,012,000 in the corresponding period in 2015. The decrease was mainly due to decreased staff cost and promotion activity efforts spent by Pantosoft this year.

Administrative expenses for the period were HK$43,684,000, an increase of 189.6% as compared to HK$15,085,000 for the corresponding period last year. The increase was, among other matters, mainly due to the accounting for staff cost attributable to share options granted to employees and consultants for the amount of HK$19,625,000 during the period.

During the first three quarters of 2016, the Group profited from trading of marketable securities and recorded a net gain of HK$15,641,000 as compared to a loss of HK$11,780,000 for 2015.

Profit guarantee extended by vendor of equity interest in Faithful Asia and valued at HK$10,610,000 as at 31 December 2015 was written off as the related profit guarantee had been fulfilled.

The Group made an impairment provision of HK$22,597,000 against investment in Wise Visual in 2015. The provision was reversed upon disposal of interest in the associate. Together with other miscellaneous items, a net gain of HK$22,827,000 was recognized.

The Group’s loss attributable to owners of the Company was HK$26,415,000 for the nine months ended 30 September 2016 (2015: HK$56,585,000).

7. Income tax credit

No provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax was made for the nine months ended 30 September 2016 as the Group did not generate any assessable profits arising in Hong Kong during the period (2015: Nil).

The PRC corporate income tax provision in respect of operations in Mainland China is calculated at applicable tax rates on the estimated assessable profits for the period based on existing legislation, interpretations and practices in respect thereof. In accordance with the relevant tax rules and regulations of the PRC, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries enjoy income tax reduction by reason that these subsidiaries are certified as New and/or High Technology Enterprises in Mainland China.

For the period ended 30 September 2016, the Group recognised a deferred tax credit of HK$2,933,000 pursuant to consolidation of the new acquired Joyunited.

8. Loss per share

The calculation of the loss per share attributable to the owners of the Company is based on the following data:

For the nine months ended 30 September 2016, diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share as the computation of diluted loss per share does not assume the exercise of the Company’s share options since their exercise would result in an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share during the nine months ended 30 September 2016 while the Company did not have any dilutive potential ordinary shares during the nine months ended 30 September 2015.

The Company has been proactively recruiting candidates for the post of Chief Executive Officer through different means so as to fulfill the requirements of A.2.1 of the Code as soon as possible.

Code Provision A.4.1

Code Provision A.4.1 stipulates that non-executive directors should be appointed for a specific term.
