NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempt company with limited liability on 22 February 2005 under the Companies Law, Cap 22 (Law 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) of the Cayman Islands and was listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”) (the “Main Board”) on 5 June 2009.

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2016 have not been audited by the Company’s auditors, but have been reviewed by the Company’s audit committee.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure requirements of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the “Listing Rules”) on the Stock Exchange, the Hong Kong Accounting Standard (“HKAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” and other relevant HKASs and Interpretations and the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

The accounting policies used in the condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015.

In the current interim period, the HKICPA has issued a few amendments to HKFRSs 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:

  • Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2012–2014 Cycle

  • Amendments to HKAS1. Presentation of financial statements: Disclosure initiative.

The adoption of the above new and revised HKFRSs had no significant financial impact on these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Group has not applied any new or revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective for the current accounting period.

4. REVENUE AND SEGMENT REPORTING

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, installation and commissioning of capital equipment and packages on land and offshore rigs

  • Oilfield expendables and supplies:

  • the manufacturing and trading of oilfield expendables and supplies

  • Engineering services:

the provision of engineering services

(a) 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 associate, other financial assets, cash at bank and in hand, pledged bank deposits, tax recoverables and other unallocated head office and corporate assets. Segment liabilities include trade and other payables and provisions attributable to the activities of the individual segment, with the exception of bank loans and other borrowings, tax payables 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 associate, 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. Inter-segment revenue is priced with reference to prices charged to external parties for similar orders.

Information regarding the Group’s reportable segments as provided to the Group’s most senior executive management for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OVERVIEW

TSC is a global product and service provider serving both the onshore and offshore oil and gas E&P industry worldwide. These principal activities remained unchanged for the period ended 30 June 2016.

Our Capital Equipment and Packages segment comprises design, manufacture, installation and commissioning of capital equipment and packages for land and offshore rigs. Our equipment is highly engineered and automated for drilling, mechanical handling, jacking systems, 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.

Our rig Maintenance, Repair and Operations (“MRO”) segments comprise two business units; the MRO Supplies business unit which comprises the manufacture and sales of oilfield expendables and spares, and the MRO Services business unit which provides a comprehensive range of engineering and maintenance services for our products as well as equipment manufactured by other suppliers.

Alliance Offshore Drilling Pte. Ltd. (“AOD”), incorporated and based in Singapore, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group. Its primary business is to implement the alliance strategy with our partners, Zentech Incorporated and CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding Company Ltd. to build, sell and lease certain type of jack-up rigs. Our first 400 ft jackup rig, R-550D, is under construction with estimated delivery at the third quarter of 2016. The objective of the strategic alliance is to leverage resources and partnership to create “All-Win” relationship to grow the Company.

INDUSTRY REVIEW

The first half of 2016 was an extremely challenging year for the industry as the price of oil fell by over 50% from US$107 per barrel in July 2014 to current levels hovering around low US$40 per barrel. The impact of OPEC lifting production targets to produce at maximum rates, combining with the slower than expected decline in shale production in North America, have resulted in an oversupply market. As a result, overall commodity prices fell dramatically, with oil price dropping to a 12-year low at the end of June 2016.

According to the International Energy Agency (“IEA”), growth estimates for global oil demand is at 1.2 million barrels a day to average 95.6 million a day. This growth is weaker than the fiveyear (2010 – 2015) peak of 1.6 million barrels a day, amid slowdowns in Europe, China and the U.S.

– 19 –

Major Oil and Gas (“O&G”) companies have reacted swiftly to plunging oil prices, dramatically cutting capital expenditure budgets. Global O&G Capital Expenditure (“CAPEX”) fell 10 per cent in 2015, and has shrunk further in the first six months of 2016.

The impact on the offshore oil and gas sector has been dramatic with numerous projects or campaigns cancelled or deferred, contracts retendered to achieve lower pricing and renegotiation of rates on longer term projects.

BUSINESS REVIEW

In the first half of 2016, the Group’s main business was focusing on the provision of capital equipment and package for onshore and offshore rigs, as well as MRO supplies and services to onshore and offshore rig operations.

In January 2016, TSC Oil & Gas Services successfully completed the quotation application documents for submission to the NEEQ. The submission was approved by NEEQ in April 2016 and TSC Oil & Gas is now listed on the NEEQ.

The 400 feet jack-up rig (R-550D) was successfully undocked and has completed Jacking trials. The rig is currently in final phase of commissioning at CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipyard (“HPWS”) in Guangzhou.

The Group established a Joint Venture (“JV”) with Offshore CC FZE in August 2016. The JV’s objective is to provide cost effective and practical solutions for a rapidly growing demand for Plug and Abandonment (“P&A”) operations on offshore oil wells and decommissioning platform removal (“Decommissioning”).

Through the JV, the Group leverages its expertise in drilling engineering, offshore rig equipment manufacturing and jack-up rig solution capabilities in a more profitable segment of the oil and gas industry.

Capital Equipment and Packages

Revenue from the capital equipment and packages segment decreased from US$87.5 million in the first half year of 2015 to US$42.7 million in the first half year of 2016. This was mainly due to the decrease of upstream oil companies CAPEX and the market demand for our related products.

Engineering Services (MRO Services)

The decrease of 54.5% in engineering services revenue from US$6.0 million in the first half year of 2015 to US$2.7 million in the first half year of 2016 came from the downturn in worldwide drilling activities and less repair and maintenance services required.

Overall gross profit decreased by 33.8% from US$37.7 million to US$25.0 million with the decrease of 36.9% in Group’s revenue. Gross profit margin remained at around 33.1% in the first half year of 2016.

Other Revenue and Net Income

Other revenue and net income increased from US$0.5 million in the first half of 2015 to US$2.7 million in the first half of 2016 due to US$0.9 million gain on foreign exchange recognized during the period compared to US$0.8 million exchange loss recognize in the same period of 2015.

Operating Expenses and Profit Attributable to Equity Shareholders of the Company

Selling & Distribution Expenses

Selling & distribution expenses decreased 25.4% by US$1.3 million from US$5.3 million in the first half year of 2015 to US$3.9 million in the first half year of 2016. The decrease came from the cost reduction exercises implemented in line with the decline in business activity.

General & Administrative Expenses

General & administration expenses decreased from US$18.0 million in the first half year of 2015 to US$16.2 million in the first half of 2016 by 9.7%. The decrease is primarily due to the cost reduction exercises implemented during the period.

Other Operating Expenses

The other operating expenses increased from US$2.2 million from the first half year of 2015 to US$2.9 million from the first half year of 2016. It is mainly due to impairment losses in doubtful debts of US$1.1 million for the period ended 30 June 2016.

– 22 –

Finance Costs

Significant Investments and Disposals

There were no other significant investments or disposals during the period.

Capital Structure

At the beginning of the year at 1 January 2016, there were 707,120,204 shares in issue (the “Shares”) and the Company carried a share capital of approximately US$9,094,000. There were no issue of shares during the first six months of 2016.

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 as most of the Group’s subsidiaries in the PRC carried out production locally with Renminbi while approximately 50% of the Group’s turnover was denominated in United States dollars. As at 30 June 2016, no related hedges were made by the Group.

In order to mitigate that foreign exchange exposure, we may utilize foreign currency forward contracts to better match the currency of our revenues and associated costs in the future. However, we do not use foreign currency forward contracts for trading or speculative purposes. The Group will actively explore ways to hedge or reduce currency exchange risk in future.

Contingent Liabilities

As at 30 June 2016, the Company has outstanding guarantees issued to banks in respect of banking facilities granted to a subsidiary. The Directors do not consider it probable that a claim will be made against the Company under any of the guarantees. The maximum liability of the Company at the end of the reporting period under the guarantees issued is the facilities drawn down by a subsidiary of US$Nil (2015: US$Nil).

Employees and Remuneration Policy

As at 30 June 2016, the Group had approximately 984 full-time staff in the USA, the United Kingdom (“UK”), Brazil, United Arab Emirates, Russia, Singapore, Mexico, Columbia, Venezuela, Hong Kong and the PRC. The Group’s remuneration policy is basically determined by the performance of individual employee and the market condition. The Group also provides other benefits to its employees, including medical schemes, pension contributions and share option schemes.

Pursuant to the New Master Agreement, the annual caps for each of the three years ending 31 December 2017 are US$100 million (equivalent to approximately HK$780 million (the “Annual Caps”).

Since the applicable percentage ratios as defined under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules for each of the Annual Caps exceed 25%, the Transaction constitutes non-exempt continuing connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting, annual review, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements.
