3 CHINA INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT LIMITED FIRST QUARTERLY REPORT 2016
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. The Group has also acquired equity interest in two associates in the field of big data analysis and surveillance monitoring.
The Company has also signed a joint venture agreement with Nihon Unisys, Ltd., a market leader in the field of system integration in Japan, with a business objective to promoting and selling Japanese products and related businesses (including and not limited to advertising and consulting services) in the PRC and as well as the ASEAN Countries.
The Acquisition had demonstrated the Company’s determination to broaden the business scope and diversify business of the Group and open up new income source, the Group through the Acquisition had acquired certain PRC office properties with a floor area of approximately 10,500 square meters that are located in the Tianhe area of Guangzhou, the PRC. This Acquisition allows the Group to extend its business footprints into the asset acquisition, management and consultancy services industry in the PRC as well as to build business network in the PRC. Furthermore, the Group is to refurbish 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 can help further to equip the Group to further expand its existing and future businesses in the PRC and the ASEAN Countries.

Financial review
For the three months ended 31 March 2016, the Group recorded a revenue of HK$1,868,000, a decrease of 71.2% from HK$6,479,000 for the corresponding period last year. Pantosoft had a relatively soft quarter for the first quarter of 2016 as compared to 2015.
The Group had a total cost of sales and services of HK$3,005,000 for the first quarter of year 2016, a decrease of 38% compared with HK$4,849,000 for 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.
The gross loss of the Group for the first quarter of year 2016 was HK$1,137,000, compared with a gross profit of HK$1,630,000 for the corresponding period of last year as a result of insufficient gross profit from revenue to cover the fixed cost element mentioned above.
During the three months ended 31 March 2016, the Group generated other income and gains of HK$1,316,000 (2015: HK$930,000) which comprised: (i) bank interest income amounted to HK$2,000 (2015: HK$8,000); (ii) loans interest income amounted to HK$596,000 (2015: nil); (iii) investment income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss amounted to HK$320,000 (2015: HK$246,000); (iv) government grants amounted to HK$221,000 (2015: HK$399,000); and (v) other income amounted to HK$177,000 (2015: HK$277,000).
The Group’s selling and distribution expenses for the first quarter of year 2016 was HK$1,673,000, which decreased by 35.7% compared with HK$2,602,000 for the corresponding period of year 2015. The decrease was mainly due to the fact that Pantosoft reduced its promotion activity efforts significantly this year.
Administrative expenses for the period were HK$5,536,000, representing an increase of 23.0% as compared to HK$4,500,000 for the corresponding period last year. The increase was mainly attributable to increase in staff cost and travelling expenses incurred to explore new markets.
The Group recorded a mark-to-market loss on held-for-sale investment securities of HK$3,746,000 for the period (2015: gain: HK$358,000).
The Group recorded a loss attributable to owners of the Company of HK$9,855,000 for the three months ended 31 March 2016 (2015: HK$4,242,000).

Corporate governance practices
During the three months ended 31 March 2016, the Company has complied with the codes on Corporate Governance Code (the “Code”) as set out in Appendix 15 of the GEM Listing Rules, except for the following:
Code Provision A.2.1
Code Provision A.2.1 stipulates the roles of chairman and chief executive should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual.
Mr. Wong Kui Shing, Danny (“Mr Wong”) now serves as both the chairman (the “Chariman”) and the chief executive officer of the Company (the “Chief Executive Officer”), such practice deviates from code provision A.2.1 of the Code. The Board is of the opinion that it is appropriate and in the best interests of the Company for Mr. Wong to hold both positions as it helps maintain the continuity of the policies and the stability of the operations of the Company. 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.
None of the non-executive Directors is appointed for a specific term, which constitutes a deviation from Code Provision A.4.1. Nonetheless, in accordance with the articles of association of the Company, all non-executive directors are subject to retirement by rotation. The Company considers that there are sufficient measures to ensure the corporate governance standard of the Company is not less exacting than the Code.
