Notes:

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Unisplendour Technology (Holdings) Limited (formerly known as Sun East 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 changed to Unit 02-03, 69/F, ICCInternational Commerce Centre, 1 Austin Road West, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong with effect from 31 October 2016. The Company’s shares are listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”).

The principal business of the Company is investment holding. The Company and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the “Group” hereafter.

On 30 May 2016, the Company issued 730,000,000 ordinary shares to Unis Technology Strategy Investment Limited at the price of HK$0.4 per share and zero coupon convertible bonds of face value of HK$148,000,000 (Note 13). After the completion of the aforesaid transaction, Unis Technology Strategy Investment Limited held 50.17% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company and became a controlling shareholder of the Company. Pursuant to Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code, immediately following the completion of the aforementioned transactions, Unis Technology Strategy Investment Limited was required to make an unconditional mandatory cash offer for all the issued shares. On 26 August 2016 (the last date for acceptance of the offer), Unis Technology Strategy Investment Limited received acceptances in respect of a total of 294,659,420 shares, aggregating the shares already held by Unis Technology Strategy Investment Limited, the percentage of the issued share capital of the Company held by Unis Technology Strategy Investment Limited increased to 67.92%. The percentage of the issued share capital of the Company held by the public reduced to approximately 23.40%. Accordingly, the minimum public float requirement of 25% under Rule 8.08(1)(a) of the Listing Rules was not satisfied. The Company applied to the Stock Exchange for a temporary waiver from strict compliance with Rule 8.08(1)(a) of the Listing Rules. On 2 November 2016, Unis Technology Strategy Investment Limited disposed of 37,830,000 shares of the Company to an independent third party, following the disposal of shares, 378,303,412 shares were held by the public. Accordingly, the minimum public float of the Company of 25% of the total issued share capital of the Company as required under Rule 8.08(1)(a) of the Listing Rules had been restored. On 2 November 2016 and 31 December 2016, the percentage of the issued share capital of the Company held by Unis Technology Strategy Investment Limited was 67.82%.

On 29 June 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company announced that the financial year end date of the Company has been changed from 31 March to 31 December commencing from the financial period ended 31 December 2016. Accordingly, the current financial period covers nine months from 1 April 2016 to 31 December 2016, and the figures of the comparative periods are not directly comparable.

On 29 August 2016, a special resolution was passed by the shareholder of the Company in the annual general meeting and with effect from 2 September 2016, the name of the Company was changed from “Sun East Technology (Holdings) Limited” to “Unisplendour Technology (Holdings) Limited” and adopted “紫光科技(控股)有限公司” as the Company’s secondary name in Chinese to replace its original Chinese name “日東科技(控股)有限公司”. On 12 October 2016, the English and Chinese names were registered with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

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

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY AND DISCLOSURE

(a) New and amended standards adopted by the Group

The following amendment to standards have been adopted by the Group for the first time for the financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2016:

  • Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”) 14 “Regulatory deferral accounts”

  • Amendment to HKFRS 11 “Accounting for acquisitions of interests in joint operations”

  • Amendments to Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKAS”) 16

  • Amendment to HKAS 38 “Clarification of acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation”

  • Amendment to HKAS 27 “Equity method in separate financial statements”

  • The 2012-2014 cycle of the annual improvements project that affect 4 standards:

  • HKFRS 5, “Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations”;

  • HKFRS 7, “Financial instruments: Disclosures”;

  • HKAS 19, “Employee benefits”; and

  • HKAS 34, “Interim financial reporting”

  • Amendments to HKFRS 10 “Investment entities: applying the consolidation exception”

  • Amendments to HKFRS 12 and HKAS 28; and

  • Amendments to HKAS 1 “Disclosure initiative”

The adoption of these new standards, amendments and improvements to HKFRS did not have any significant impact on the Group’s financial performance and position for the period ended 31 December 2016.

(b) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2016 and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group, except the following set out below:

HKFRS 9, “Financial instruments”

The new standard addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, introduces new rules for hedge accounting and a new impairment model for financial assets.

While the Group has yet to undertake a detailed assessment of the classification and measurement of financial assets, the Groups’ financial assets consists of loans and receivables which are carried at amortised cost and equity investments which are measured at fair value through profit or loss and hence there will be no change to the accounting for these assets with the adoption of HKFRS 9.

Accordingly, the Group does not expect the new guidance to have a significant impact on the classification and measurement of its financial assets.

6

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY AND DISCLOSURE (CONTINUED)

(b) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted (Continued)

For financial liability, the new requirements only affect the accounting for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss and as at 31 December 2016, the convertible bonds issued by the Group were classified as financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. However, as stated in Note 16 as the ordinary resolution has been passed in the special general meeting on 30 March 2017 for the change in the agreement of the convertible bonds, the Group expects that such financial liability at fair value through profit or loss will be dereognised and convertible bonds, as compound financial instruments, will be recognised. Accordingly, the Group does not expect the new standards to have any significant impact on its financial liability.

The derecognition rules have been transferred from HKAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” and have not been changed.

The new impairment model requires the recognition of impairment provisions based on expected credit losses rather than only incurred credit losses as is the case under HKAS 39. It applies to financial assets classified at amortised cost, debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, contract assets under HKFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, lease receivables, loan commitments and certain financial guarantee contracts. While the Group has not yet undertaken a detailed assessment of how its impairment provisions would be affected by the new model, it may result in an earlier recognition of credit losses.

The new standard also introduces expanded disclosure requirements and changes in presentation. These are expected to change the nature and extent of the Group’s disclosures about its financial instruments particularly in the year of the adoption of the new standard.

HKFRS 9 must be applied for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2018. The Group does not intend to adopt HKFRS 9 before its mandatory date.

HKFRS 15, “Revenue from contracts with customers”

The HKICPA has issued a new standard for the recognition of revenue. This will replace HKAS 18 which covers contracts for goods and services and HKAS 11 which covers construction contracts. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer. The standard permits either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for the adoption.

At this stage, the Group is not able to estimate the impact of the new standards on the Group’s financial statements. According to the preliminary assessment by the Group, the adoption of the HKFRS 15 is not expected to have significant effect on the financial performance and position of the Group. The Group will make more detailed assessments of the impact over the next twelve months.

HKFRS 15 is mandatory for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2018. At this stage, the Group does not intend to adopt the standard before its effective date.

HKFRS 16, “Leases”

HKFRS 16 “Lease” will result in almost all leases being recognised on the balance sheet, as the distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are recognised. The only exceptions are short-term and low-value leases. The accounting for lessors will not significantly change.

7

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY AND DISCLOSURE (CONTINUED)

(b) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted (Continued)

The standard will affect primarily the accounting for the Group’s operating leases. As at 31 December 2016, the Group’s aggregate future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating lease are HK$27,955,000 (payments within 1 year are HK$10,506,000, and payments over 1 year but within 5 years are HK$17,449,000) (Note 14). However, the Group has not yet determined to what extent these commitments will result in the recognition of an asset and a liability for future payments and how this will affect the Group’s profit and classification of cash flows.

Some of the commitments may be covered by the exception for short-term and low value leases and some commitments may relate to arrangements that will not qualify as leases under HKFRS 16.

The new standard is mandatory for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2019. At this stage, the Group does not intend to adopt the standard before its effective date.

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Executive Directors are the Group’s chief operating decision-maker. Management has determined the operating segments based on the information reviewed by the Executive Directors for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. With effect from 30 November 2016, the Executive Directors reassess the Group positions from the perspective of its products and businesses, management combines the original “production lines and production equipment” segment and “brand name production equipment” segment into “production and sales of industrial products” segment. As the Group’s finance leases and factoring businesses increased for the period and the Group focuses on the expansion of such segment in the future, therefore, the “finance lease and factoring” is presented as a separate segment. For the nine months ended 31 December 2016, the Group’s operating segments consists of the followings:

  • (1) Production and sales of industrial products;

(2) Finance lease and factoring.

The Executive Directors assess the performance of the operating segments based on the revenue and profit before tax in each segment, the Executive Directors do not focus on the total liabilities of the segments. The unallocated activities primarily consist of corporate headquarter which manage and support the segments, secondary market equity investments managed by the corporate headquarter. The assets and liabilities mainly consist of secondary market equity investments and the financial liabilities as a result of the issuance of the convertible bonds by the Company respectively. The segment reports from April to November 2016 have been rearranged after the reorganisation, the segment information as for the year ended 31 March 2016 is restated based on the reclassified operating segment for the current period.

16. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE

On 30 March 2017, an ordinary resolution has been passed in the special general meeting for the approval of the “Supplemental Deed” entered into by the Company with Unis Technology Strategy Investment Limited, pursuant to which the Company and Unis Technology Strategy Investment Limited agreed to remove the relevant terms and conditions in relation to the conversion price adjustment under the original agreement (the “Amendments”), accordingly, the convertible bonds issued by the Company pursuant to the original agreement will be derecognised. According to the Supplemental Deed, the convertible bonds issued by the Company will be classified as compound financial instruments. The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognised initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is recognised initially at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component, which is included in shareholders’ equity in other reserves.

Assuming the “Supplemental Deed” was effective on 31 December 2016, with all other variables held constant, based on the preliminary assessment of the management of the Group, the Group’s net assets would have been increased by HK$660,221,000 and resulting in the change from net liability of HK$195,763,000 to net assets of HK$464,458,000 as at 31 December 2016.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

BUSINESS AND OPERATION REVIEW

Results

The Group is principally engaged in design, manufacture and distribution of SMT product and related equipment and finance lease and factoring.

In 2016, the Group’s SMT and related business is still facing an adverse situation. To tackle the challenges, the Group will continue to attach importance in research and development activities and increase efforts in market expansion. At the same time, other than its existing traditional business, the Group’s management will also actively search for development opportunities in the financial sector, and has expanded the finance lease business during the period.

For the nine months ended 31 December 2016, the Group had adopted business integration, and resolved its historical burdens. During the period, the Group recorded a revenue of approximately HK$268,360,000.

During the period, the Group recorded a net loss of approximately HK$603,151,000. The Board of Directors considered that the loss for the period was primarily caused by (i) the fair value loss of approximately HK$341,812,000 on the convertible bonds issued during the period; (ii) the provision for impairment of trade receivables of approximately HK$65,205,000; (iii) the provision for impairment of inventory of approximately HK$31,596,000 and (iv) the personnel expenses incurred by business integration of approximately HK$38,940,000.

BUSINESS REVIEW

SMT and related business

The Company had adopted measures to integrate the businesses of the traditional brand production, OEM and automation and logistics. The main task of the integration is to phase out outmoded production capacities and optimise the sales strategies of the existing products and the human resources structure, for the purpose of changing the decentralised state of the traditional businesses in the past, and forming a joint force to improve the quality of development through overall planning.

As the economy of China remained depressed, the Group’s product market continued to remain in the doldrums, which together with the business integration implemented by the Group during the period, had led to a significant decline in sales. During the period, the revenue of SMT and related business (the brand production business, OEM business and automation and logistics business after the integration) was approximately HK$267,451,000.

In the future, the Group will continue to invest in the research and development of the SMT and related products, and make full use of the Company’s accumulated resources in the industry over the years to provide customers with differentiated middle and high-end products, and actively exploit overseas markets to gradually enhance revenue and profitability.

Finance lease and factoring business

In 2015, the Group established 天時融資租賃(深圳)有限公司 (currently known as 紫光芯雲融資租 賃有限公司 ), a wholly-owned subsidiary, in Qianhai, Shenzhen to develop finance lease and factoring business. The business achieved satisfactory progress during the period, and the Group will continue to increase its investment in the business, and consider it as one of the priority businesses of the Group in the future.

For the nine months ended 31 December 2016, the finance lease and factoring business recorded a revenue of approximately HK$909,000. Although the business has yet to contribute significantly to the Group’s results during the period, it is expected become one of the growth drivers of the Group.
