NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Unisplendour Technology (Holdings) Limited (the “Company”) is a limited liability company incorporated in Bermuda. Its registered office is located at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM 11, Bermuda and its principal place of business is located at Unit 02-03, 69/F, ICC-International Commerce Centre, 1 Austin Road West, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The Company’s shares are listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”).

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group for the six months ended 30 September 2016 have been prepared in accordance with the applicable disclosure requirements set out in Appendix 16 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”) and with Hong Kong Accounting Standard (“HKAS”) 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA). The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statement should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016.

3. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for leasehold land and buildings, which are stated at fair value.

The Interim Financial Information does not include all of the information and disclosures required in annual financial statements in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”), which comprises all applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the HKICPA, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

3. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Except as for the adoption of new and revised HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA, which are effective for the Company’s financial year beginning on 1 April 2016, the accounting policies applied in preparing this Interim Financial Information are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016, as described in the annual financial statements. The application of these new and revised HKFRSs has had no material impact on the Interim Financial Information of the Group.

The Group has not early applied the new and revised HKFRSs that have been issued by the HKICPA but are not yet effective. The Directors anticipate that the application of these new and revised HKFRSs will not have material impact on the Interim Financial Information of the Group.

The preparation of Interim Financial Information requires the Company’s management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing the Interim Financial Information, the significant judgements made by the Company’s management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$190,645,000 (2015: profit of HK$5,636,000) by the weighted average number of 1,150,081,967 (2015: 525,000,000) ordinary shares in issue during the period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, the convertible bonds were assumed to have been converted into ordinary shares.

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

Dear Shareholders,

==> picture [168 x 114] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [52 x 97] intentionally omitted <==

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Unisplendour Technology (Holdings) Limited, I present the interim results of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) for the six months ended 30 September 2016.

Review of results

In the past six months, the market condition of our products remained tough, and as affected by historical burdens, the overall performance of the Company’s results was unsatisfactory. The poor handling by the original management prior to the change of controlling shareholder of the Company and misjudgment of the market trend led to a substantial increase in the provision for trade receivables, loss on inventory and provision for inventory. The Company had actively adopted measures to integrate the businesses of the traditional brand name production equipment, OEM, automated and logistic, with main purposes to phase out outmoded production capacities, optimize the sales strategies of the existing products and the human resources structure in order to further increase the incentive award levels of the staff with a hope to turn the adverse operation around. The business integration and handling of the issues and hidden problems accumulated during the previous operation of the original management led to loss which were not conclusive to the results of the current period. However, it had positive effect on the long-term sustainable development of the Company.

Outlook

In the future, the Company will continue to invest in the technological research and development of products, enhance the competitiveness of products and place emphasis on exploring emerging markets along the route of “One Belt, One Road” including India and Southeast Asian countries in order to explore new sales channels. In addition, under the environment of rapid development of the global high-technology, it is a new industrial trend for global collaborative innovation. Therefore, the ability of professional capital operation and utilization in full of various financial instruments have become important driving forces to promote the rapid development of the industry. The Company will continue to create a model with industry and finance as dual driving forces for business development based on

its traditional business. Furthermore, the Company will actively search for new business growth points in sectors including assets management, financial investment and services and finance lease while continuing to develop the existing traditional business. Currently, as the only overseas listed company controlling by Tsinghua Unigroup Co., Ltd. ( 紫光集 團有限公司 ) (“Tsinghua Unigroup”), the Company will become an important platform for overseas investment, financing and capital operation of Tsinghua Unigroup. As such, the Company will closely align with Tsinghua Unigroup in its core strategies and industry layout, integrating the industrial resources by way of mergers and acquisitions, restructurings and direct investments for synergetic development. The Company will extensively develop in-depth cooperation with major financial institutions and take full advantage of capital operation. As for internal management, the Company will fully upgrade the existing system platform of office informatization to further increase the management effectiveness and recruit high-caliber personnel to achieve new strategic goals. As Tsinghua Unigroup has become the beneficial controller of the Company, the name of the Company was changed to Unisplendour Technology (Holdings) Limited (“Unis Holdings”) to reflect such change. The structures of the board of directors and management of the Company had also undergone adjustments. Currently, the Company is in strong capital position. I believe that the Company will open a greater path of development under the leadership of the new management team.

Appreciation

The past six months was a period when the Company experienced hardships and stepped onto the path of business rebirth. On behalf of the Board, I would like to express our gratitude to our shareholders and partners for standing with the Company in hard times and also for the effort and contribution of all the staff of the Company!

BUSINESS REVIEW

Brand Production Equipment Business

As the economic growth of China was still slowing down, the market of our products remained depressed, which together with the business integration implemented by the Group during the Period, had led to a significant decline in sales comparing to the same period of last year. The Group will increase investment in research and development and actively develop overseas market to gradually improve sales and profitability.

The sales of SMT and welding related equipment amounted to approximately HK$161.7 million, representing a decrease of approximately 40.8% when compared to approximately HK$273.1 million in the same period last year. The gross profit margin was 23.6%, increase by 8.5% from 15.1% of last year. Besides that, as a result of misjudgment of market by the original management, the SMT and welding related equipment were overstocked, which led to the loss on inventory as the market price declines continuously overtime.

OEM Business

In line with the overall development strategy of the Group, the outmoded and low valueadded OEM business was gradually reduced as planned during the Period. Compared with the corresponding period last year, sales decreased from approximately HK$22.8 million to approximately HK$17.8 million, representing a decrease of approximately 21.9%.

Automated and Logistic Business

The insufficient management and technical ability of the automated and logistic business led to a substantial amount of delays of project delivery and the increase of receivables risk. During the Period, the Group suspended the project development process of the business and mainly focused on the delivery of existing work in progress. Compared with the corresponding period last year, sales decreased from approximately HK$150.3 million to approximately HK$18.5 million, representing a decrease of approximately 87.7%.
