Note:

1 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries and the Group’s interest in associates.

The functional currency of the Company is Hong Kong dollars. Subsidiaries of the Company have their functional currencies in Renminbi (“RMB”), United States dollars and Pound Sterling. In view of expanded foreign operations, the directors of the Company consider United States dollars, being an internationally well-recognised currency, can provide more meaningful information to the Company’s investors and meet the needs of the Group’s global customers. Therefore, the directors choose United States dollars as the presentation currency of the financial statements.

The measurement basis used in the preparation of the financial statements is the historical cost basis except that derivative financial instruments are stated at their fair value.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

2 STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE AND CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with all applicable HKFRSs, which collective term includes all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”), accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. These financial statements also comply with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“the Listing Rules”).

6

Changes in accounting policies

The HKICPA has issued a number of amendments to HKFRSs and one new Interpretation that are first effective for the current accounting period of the Group and the Company. Of these, the following developments are relevant to the Group’s financial statements:

  • HKAS 24 (revised 2009), Related party disclosures

  • Improvements to HKFRSs (2010)

  • HK(IFRIC) 19, Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments

The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period.

HK(IFRIC) 19 has not yet had a material impact on the Group’s financial statements as these changes will first be effective as and when the Group enters a relevant transaction (for example, a debt for equity swap).

The impact of other developments are discussed below:

  • HKAS 24 (revised 2009) revises the definition of a related party. As a result, the Group has re-assessed the identification of related parties and concluded that the revised definition does not have any material impact on the Group’s related party disclosures in the current and previous periods. HKAS 24 (revised 2009) also introduces modified disclosure requirements for government-related entities. This does not impact the Group because the Group is not a government-related entity.

  • Improvements to HKFRSs (2010) omnibus standard introduces a number of amendments to the disclosure requirements in HKFRS 7, Financial instruments: Disclosures . The disclosures on the Group’s financial instruments conforms to the amended disclosure requirements. These amendments do not have any material impact on the classification, recognition and measurements of the amounts recognised in the financial statements in the current and previous periods.

3 TURNOVER AND SEGMENT REPORTING

  • (a) Turnover

The principal activities of the Group are the design, manufacture, install and commission capital equipment (including rig electrical control system and other rig equipment) and packages on land and offshore rigs and oilfield expendables and supplies, and the provision of engineering services.

7

Turnover represents the invoiced value of goods supplied to customers, revenue from construction contracts and revenue from engineering services. The amount of each significant category of revenue recognised in turnover during the year is as follows:

Capital equipment and packages
− Sales of rig electrical control system
− Sales of other rig equipment
− Construction contracts revenue
− Rig products and technology
− Rig turnkey solutions
Oilfield expendables and supplies
− Sales of expendables and supplies
Engineering services
− Service fee income

The Group’s customer base is diversified and includes only one customer with whom transactions have exceeded 10% of the Group’s revenues. In 2011, revenues from sales of capital equipment and packages to this customer, including sales to entities which are known to the Group to be under common control with this customer, amounted to approximately $29 million (2010: $58 million).

Further details regarding the Group’s principal activities are described below:

(b) Segment reporting

The Group manages its business by divisions, which are organised by a mixture of both business lines (products and services) and geography. In a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the Group’s most senior executive management for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment, the Group has presented the following three reportable segments. No operating segments have been aggregated to form the following reportable segments.

  • Capital equipment and packages:

the design, manufacturing, install and commission of capital equipment and packages on land and offshore rigs

8

− Oilfield expendables and supplies: the manufacturing and trading of oilfield expendables and supplies

  • Engineering services:

the provision of engineering services

In 2011, the financial results of capital equipment and packages, which were separately reported as rig products and technology and rig turnkey solutions segments in previous year’s financial statements, are reported to the Group’s most senior executive management as one single operating segment for the purpose of resources allocation and performance assessment. Following the change in the composition of the Group’s operating segments that in turn has resulted in a change in the reportable segments, the segment information for the year ended 31 December 2010 has been restated.

(i) Segment results, assets and liabilities

For the purposes of assessing segment performance and allocating resources between segments, the Group’s senior executive management monitors the results, assets and liabilities attributable to each reportable segment on the following bases:

Segment assets include all tangible assets, goodwill, intangible assets and current assets with the exception of interest in associates, cash at bank and in hand, pledged bank deposits, tax balances and other unallocated head office corporate assets. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables and provisions attributable to the activities of the individual segment, with the exception of loans, tax balances and other unallocated head office and corporate liabilities.

Revenue and expenses are allocated to the reportable segments with reference to revenue generated by those segments and the expenses incurred by those segments or which otherwise arise from the depreciation or amortisation of assets attributable to those segments.

The measure used for reporting segment profit is “segment results” i.e. “adjusted earnings before finance costs and taxes” of individual segment. To arrive at segment results, the Group’s earnings are further adjusted for share of results of associates, finance costs and items not specifically attributed to individual segment, such as directors’ and auditors’ remuneration and other head office or corporate income and expenses.

In addition to receiving segment information concerning segment results, management is provided with segment information concerning revenue (including inter-segment revenue), depreciation and amortisation and additions to non-current segment assets used by the segments in their operations.

The credit terms offered by the Group to its customers differ with each product/service. The credit terms offered to customers of oilfield expendables and supplies and engineering services are normally 30 to 90 days. The credit terms offered to customers of rig electrical control system and other rig equipment are negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Deposits ranging from 10% to 30% of the contract sum are usually required. The balance of 60% to 85% would be payable in 1 to 2 months after delivery and acceptance of products. The remaining 5% to 10% of the contract sum represents the retention money and is payable within up to 18 months after delivery of the products or 1 year after completion of the onsite testing, whichever is earlier. The amount of those retentions expected to be recovered after more than one year is US$Nil (2010: US$292,000).

(b) Impairment of trade debtors and bills receivable

Impairment losses in respect of trade debtors and bills receivable are recorded using an allowance account unless the Group is satisfied that recovery of the amount is remote, in which case the impairment loss is written off against trade debtors and bills receivable directly.

17

The movement in the allowance for doubtful debts during the year, including both specific and collective loss components, is as follows:

At 31 December 2011, the Group’s trade debtors and bills receivable of US$9,894,000 (2010: US$16,543,000) were individually determined to be impaired. The individually impaired receivables related to customers which management assessed that only a portion of the receivables is expected to be recovered. Consequently, specific allowances for doubtful debts of US$4,126,000 (2010: US$6,758,000) were recognised. The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

(c) Trade debtors and bills receivable that are not impaired

The ageing analysis of trade debtors and bills receivable that are neither individually nor collectively considered to be impaired are as follows:

Neither past due nor impaired
Less than 1 month past due
1 to 3 months past due
More than 3 months but within 12 months past due
More than 12 months past due

Receivables that were neither past due nor impaired relate to a wide range of customers for whom there was no recent history of default.

Receivables that were past due but not impaired relate to a number of independent customers that have a past payment history with the Group. Based on past experience, management believes that no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in credit quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverable. The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Audit Committee has reviewed the Group’s annual results for the year ended 31 December 2011. The Audit Committee comprises three independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Chan Ngai Sang, Kenny, Mr. Bian Junjiang and Mr. Guan Zhichuan.

The figures in respect of the preliminary announcement of the Group’s results for the year ended 31 December 2011 have been compared by the Company’s auditors, KPMG, Certified Public Accountants, to the amounts set out in the Group’s draft consolidated financial statements for the Year and the amounts were found to be in agreement. The work performed by KPMG in this respect was limited and did not constitute an audit, review or other assurance engagement and consequently no assurance has been expressed by the auditors on the this announcement.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

1. OVERVIEW

TSC is a global product and service provider serving both the offshore and land drilling rig industry worldwide. These principal activities remained unchanged for 2011.

Our Capital Equipment and Packages segment comprises design, manufacture, install and commission capital equipment on land and offshore rigs. Our equipment are highly engineered and automated for drilling, mechanical handling, solids control, power control and drives, tensioning and compensation systems for various offshore drilling rigs, completion, intervention and workover vessels for oil, gas wells as well as for land rigs.

The Oilfield Expendables and Supplies segment comprises the manufacture and sales of oilfield expendables and spares.

The Engineering Services segment provides a comprehensive range of engineering and maintenance services for our products as well as equipment manufactured by other suppliers.

The two factors that drive offshore rig activity are (i) new discoveries and (ii) oil prices. Both of which will influence the general level of business activity in the oil and gas industry worldwide and provide a positive impact on our business. In 2008, oil prices reached a high of US$147 per barrel in July 2008 but fell to US$36 per barrel at the end of 2008. Prices recovered to US$70 per barrel in 2009 and has since steadily risen to well above US$80 per barrel in 2010 and has remained steadily around US$100 throughout 2011. The financial and credit crisis which began in late 2007 was the second most important factor in 2009 and 2010 which reduced capital expenditure budgets of drilling contractors, construction companies, shipyards, oilfield services companies and oil companies is largely over. In 2011 the favourable oil price conductive to more drilling activities and the great demand from emerging countries stimulates an increase in capital equipment expenditures globally.

20

Our strength lies in the comprehensive range of products, innovative technology and expertise which we integrate to offer our customers high value solutions, safe and high quality products and services at cost effective rates. These strengths are being applied on innovative strategies to leverage the company towards higher growth in the future as the price of oil recovers to a consistent sustainable price around US$100 per barrel. Demand is expected to continue to grow as discussed in the section below on outlook.

Turnover for the Group decreased by 3.5% to US$138.4 million. The net profit for 2011 was US$4.03 million, a drop of 70.3% from the previous year of US$13.59 million. The decrease in net profit was mainly due to the commencement of two major projects in the last quarter whilst having to maintain a high level of overhead to execute our long term strategies. Research and development initiatives were similarly continued to position the Group in availing ourselves to the potential opportunities in the market. We faced some delays the Astrakhan shipyard in completion of the H195 Dragon Oil Project which also resulted in increase in cost to complete. These costs have been factored into the reduction in profit this year.

Capital Equipment and Packages

The turnover of the Capital Equipment and Packages decreased from US$110.6 million in year 2010 to US$89.1 million in year 2011. This was mainly due to lower number of new projects starting in the year whilst ongoing projects progressed close to completion where the rate of completion would typically decrease. The company secured two drilling package contracts close to the end of the Year.

Oilfield Expendables and Supplies

The increase of 17.9% from US$22.0 million in 2010 to US$26.0 million in 2011 in Oilfield Expendables and Supplies turnover came from the expansion of the Group’s distribution network with established drilling contractors and the development of products for Original Equipment Manufacturers. The general improvement in drilling activity also provided the base for the good growth in this segment.

Engineering Services

The increase of 114.8% in Engineering Services turnover from US$10.8 million in 2010 to US$23.3 million in 2011 is in line with the Group’s continuing strategy to provide high quality service personnel to customers.

Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margins

Gross Profit remained at US$52.3 million with the decrease of 3.5% in Group’s turnover. Gross profit margin improved slightly to 37.8% in year 2011 which remains fairly consistent with the previous year’s gross profit margin of 36.4%.

22

Other Revenue and net income

The increase by 42.4% in Other Revenue and net income from US$2.1 million to US$3.1 million is mainly due to the reversal of impairment losses of doubtful debts in 2011.

Operating Expenses and Profit Attributable to Equity Shareholders of the Company

Selling & Distribution Expenses

Selling & Distribution expenses increased by US$1.2 million from US$5.5 million in 2010 to US$6.7 million in 2011 with implementation of marketing and sales strategies which involved extensive domestic and overseas travelling to emerging markets and development of sales strategies with our strategic alliance partners.

General & Administrative Expenses

General & Administration expenses increased by 27.0% from US$28.0 million in 2010 to US$35.6 million in 2011. The increase of US$7.6 million came mainly from increased staff cost and research & development expenses.

Other Operating Expenses

The increase in Other Operating Expenses from US$4.4 million in 2010 to US$5.1 million in 2011 is mainly due to foreign exchange currency losses and increase in amortisation of intangible assets resulting from a full year amortisation of Jurun Ltd.’s intangible assets compared to amortization of four months in the previous year when Jurun Ltd. was acquired in September 2010.

Finance Costs

Finance Costs, primarily interest on bank loans, amounted to approximately US$1.7 million compared to US$1.4 million in the previous year for the Group. The increase resulted from bank loans increasing from US$18.0 million at end of 2010 to US$25.5 million at end of 2011 and a slight increase in the average interest rate.

  • (i) Interest in leasehold land held for own use under operating leases, buildings, plant and machinery, inventories and trade receivables of six subsidiaries namely TSC (Qingdao) Manufacture Co., Limited (“TSCQD”), TSC-HHCT (Xian) Control Technologies Limited, TSC Manufacturing and Supply, LLC, Qingdao TSC Offshore Equipment Co., Ltd. (“TSCOE”), Tianjin Shengli Petroleum Equipment Co. Ltd. and 8655 Golden Spike, LLC, with aggregate net book value of assets pledged amounted to US$56,045,000 (2010: US$12,927,000).

  • (ii) Corporate guarantees given by Zhengzhou Highlight Energy Technology Co., Ltd., TSCQD and TSCOE to the extent of banking facilities outstanding of US$8,387,000 (2010: US$7,433,000) as at 31 December 2011.

Certain bank loans of the Group are subject to the fulfillment of covenants relating to certain of the Group’s statement of financial position ratios, as are commonly found in lending arrangements with financial institutions. If the Group were to breach the covenants the drawn down loan balances would become payable on demand. The Group regularly monitors its compliance with these covenants. As at 31 December 2011, none of the covenants relating to the Group’s bank loans had been breached, except that the Group did not fulfil the financial covenants of a short term bank loan of $2,199,400. Subsequent to 31 December 2011, the Group has obtained a letter from the bank to waive the strict compliance with the financial covenants for the year ended 31 December 2011.

Foreign Currency Exchange Exposures

The Group is exposed to currency risk primarily through sales and purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the operations to which they relate. The Group has foreign exchange exposure resulting from most of the Group’s subsidiaries in the PRC carried out production locally with RMB as funtional currency while approximately 45% of the Group’s turnover was denominated in United States dollars. As at 31 December 2011, no related hedges were made by the Group.

In order to mitigate that foreign exchange exposure, we have entered into a non deliverable foreign exchange instrument to better match the currency of our revenues and associated costs in the future. However, we do not use the foreign exchange instrument for trading or speculative purposes. The Group will actively explore ways to hedge or reduce currency exchange risk in future.

25

Contingent Liabilities

3. BUSINESS AND MARKET REVIEW

Although the recovery of the oil and gas industry in 2011 was not as strong as it was in 2010, oil prices averaged above US$100 per barrel which is a good level for supporting Capital Equipment investment decisions affecting TSC businesses. The combination of economic concerns in developed countries and lower growth in emerging countries dampened the pace of recovery in 2011. However, tight supply exacerbated by unrest in oil producing countries in the Middle East maintained

sufficient pressure on oil prices to set new records. With high oil prices where they are today, mature basins are set to drive rig demand. The two factors that drive offshore rig activity are (i) new discoveries and (ii) oil prices. Both of which will provide a positive impact on our business. So far, attention in the offshore drilling markets has been focused on new discoveries in regions like Brazil and West Africa as well as in mature offshore drilling markets like the North Sea, midwater Gulf of Mexico, parts of Asia, the Middle East and the Caspian Sea region. In the US the market for pressure pumping and land drilling continues to develop even though faced with environmental and equipment supply constraints relating to pressure pumping equipment. Market conditions are favourable to TSC’s business strategies.

4. FUTURE PLANS FOR MATERIAL INVESTMENTS, CAPITAL ASSETS AND CAPITAL COMMITMENT

We will be opening further 2 branches in the Texas and Louisiana region in the United States and Colombia to meet with growing demand for our expendables and supplies in these regions. The facilities were rented and will be able to stock sufficient supplies to provide immediate response to customers in that region.

Our Brazil office recently secured a 15 year lease for 8,000 m[2] of land in Macaé which includes an option to purchase the land at the end of the lease period. This facility will enable us to expand operations in Brazil to expand our Engineering Services segment business and to some extent meet with requirements for a minimum level of local content for future supply of equipment in Brazil.

Future plans include developments of:

  • Jacking systems for harsh environment deepwater jack up rigs

  • Multi-service vessels (MSV) conceptualized based on operating parameters in several deepwater regions for well intervention, installation, repair and maintenance (IRM) and field development applications

  • Fast Moving Land Rigs which are ultra-efficient and can bring about tremendous mobility and costs savings for the drilling contractors, based off the accumulated experience from TSC’s management

  • Finalization of Workforce 2200/2400 series mud pumps.

  • Trial and evaluation of the hi-pressure fracturing pumps, expect to come online in 3Q 2012.

TSC continues to explore plans to acquire expertise and expand capabilities by way of purchasing assets or acquisition of equity interest in companies with such expertise and or capability.

5. STRATEGY, PROSPECTS AND ORDER BOOK

Strategies

TSC adopts a 3-tier business strategy which can be visualized as a pyramid where the base comprises our ‘cash cow’ business of Oilfield Expendables and Supplies and Engineering Services (which incorporates maintenance, repair and perahons), Rack Cutting, Solids Control and other developed range of equipment. The mid section of the pyramid which we call ‘revenue boosters’ comprises our individual sales of the wide range of products such as Deck Cranes, Mechanical Handling, Mud Pumps, Jacking Systems, Jack-up Rack and Chord, Electrical Controls and Drives. These are equipment which we design and supply individually. The top section of our strategy pyramid, our ‘growth engine’, where we tailor our range of products as an ‘Integrated Solution’, addressing customers needs by leveraging TSC’s product range, engineering capability, project execution and financial needs taken together as one product offering.

29

This 3-tier business strategy is complemented with marketing and operational strategies which as a whole serves to meet our vision to transform TSC into a formidable player in the global oil and gas service and equipment industry. We also adopt a “3D” approach where our teams are Customer-Driven, ServiceDriven and Solution-Driven in everything we do. This enables us to achieve the penetration into the markets that we want to win as well as to deliver our products and services on time, on quality and within budget.

Prospects

TSC strategies are also tied in with the strategies of our partners and alliances with synergistic and complementary capabilities to form the bigger picture that TSC needs in order to scale the growth path we have set. As execution of this long term strategy unfolds we are witnessing the successful transformation of TSC’s business profile to higher level of penetration and participation in the global demand for our products The feedback that we have received from prospective customers are encouraging. Our customers, in the emerging markets with whom we choose to establish our presence, highly appreciate our approach which is unique compared to what is available in the market. We are optimistic about our long term prospects.
