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
Interim Report 2016 18
==> picture [123 x 91] intentionally omitted <==
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!

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
==> picture [123 x 91] intentionally omitted <==
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.
