Notes:
-
a. During the year, the Group recovered an amount of HK$117,657,000 from a borrower pursuant to a settlement deed entered into between a Company's subsidiary and the borrower on 14 September 2007 in respect of the Group's interest bearing loans receivables. The excess of HK$30,628,000, representing the amount recovered over the carrying amount of the loan receivable of HK$70,269,000 net of the transaction costs incurred relating to the debt collections, is recognised in profit or loss in the current year whereby amounts of HK$1,618,000 and HK$29,010,000 are recorded as reversal of impairment loss recognised in respect of loans receivable and recovery of loans receivable respectively. The recovery of loans receivable is mainly related to the additional amount recovered upon settlement net of transaction costs.
-
b. Being derecognition of financial liabilities upon the fulfilment of repayment terms specified in a debt restructuring deed entered into with a bank in prior years.

In addition, the Company had appointed a consultant to provide professional opinions regarding the establishment of the risk monitoring system, so as to reinforce its risk management.
PROSPECT
The US economy is unlikely to recover in the near future, the economy in Japan has shrunken after the earthquake and the European sovereign debt crises are still waiting to be resolved. As the economy of these three major markets remains weak from fatigue, the global economy is expected to progress slowly. It is inevitable to have adverse impact on the Company’s hi-tech manufacturing which is mainly export oriented. The businesses of the Company have been operated in difficult positions. It is expected that the hi-tech manufacturing will be affected by the adverse factors such as the rising production cost, the appreciation of Renminbi and the fluctuation in the foreign and local markets. The hi-tech manufacturing will continue to strengthen its management, cost and risk control, reinforce its technology advancement and enhance its foreign and local market development, while seeking to ensure a stable business and strive for new development.
In 2012, in light of the demand from the clients and the upgrade of new equipment, the businesses of plastic products and batteries are expected to have a steady development. The business of printed circuit boards will continue to focus on specialized and unique markets by making use of the technical strengths in high precision circuit boards, various kinds of gold-plated layers boards, soft-hard combined boards and embedded PCB for developing hi-tech and high value-added products. It is anticipated that the PCB business will have a steady growth. As to the business of intelligent chargers, it is expected that the new development and growth of lithium battery chargers, wireless charges and high power distributors will nullify the drop of the business of the chargers for nickel-metal hydride batteries. The LCD business will continue to focus in profit generation, with gradual adjustment and optimization of the clientele structure, while it will take the initiative to look for new market opportunities.

The projects of the Complex Zone of the Launching Site in Hainan Province and Shenzhen Aerospace Science & Technology Plaza will be implemented as scheduled. The project of Complex Zone of the Launching Site in Hainan Province will stress on introducing strategic partners for joint development. Meanwhile, the Company will endeavor to complete the expropriation of the remaining lands for the project and commence the main construction of the resettlement zone. As for the Hainan Space Park, it is expected to obtain the administration permit for the project construction and complete the optimized design scheme of the theme park accordingly.
The project of Shenzhen Aerospace Science & Technology Plaza is planned to complete the relevant tender-invitation process in accordance with the progress of the works. At the same time, the project will move forward major implementation including construction and test of piling works, construction of the basement, earthwork backfilling, and construction of the main building on ground level. Proper cost control is made in line with the progress of the works as well. Moreover, the Company has coordinated, supervised and carried out the progress and quality control effectively for various works.
Because of inflation and the adjustment of policies in China, the businesses of hi-tech property may encounter greater pressure in terms of cost control and raising funds in short term. The Company will keep close watch on the fluctuation in cost prices and control strictly the short-term risks brought about by the relevant policies. However, it is believed that the Company will enjoy healthy development in the long run in respect of the hi-tech property projects which are mainly providing accommodation services for the two industrial bases in Shenzhen and Hainan.
As for the business of new materials, the annual production capacity of the high-performance polyimide films of Shenzhen Rayitek is heading for the target of about 350 tonnes step by step, with actual productivity subject to different product specifications. It is expected that Shenzhen Rayitek will seek to launch the new generation of polyimide films for the high-end flexible electronic substrates, and complete the research and development of the several polyimide films with special functions, and will also establish the next stage of business development. With the support of CASC, the Company has made the first move towards the goal of developing new organic polymer materials through the acquisition of Shenzhen Rayitek. It is believed that the relevant acquisition will generate synergistic benefits for the business of hi-tech manufacturing of the Company.
The business of internet of things has completed the establishment of its working team. The software platform is expected to be developed and launched as scheduled. In light of the market development, the business of internet of things will focus on intelligent traffic, logistics and transportation, traffic safety control and natural disasters monitoring. It aims to become the solution provider of internet of things for large-scale enterprises and government departments. Meanwhile, the business of internet of things will take the initiative to seek opportunities in other industries such as its application in warehousing and logistics, and seek to take part in the construction of the electronic platform for different levels of government affairs.
