ANNOUNCEMENT OF UNAUDITED INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2017

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

On behalf of the Board of CCT Land Holdings Limited, I present the interim results of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2017.

The Group’s net loss attributable to owners of the parent for the six months ended 30 June 2017 was HK$149 million, as compared with the net loss of HK$32 million for the last corresponding period. The increase in net loss was mainly due to (i) an equity-settled share-based payments was recorded as a result of the granting of 5,940 million share options during the six months ended 30 June 2017; (ii) the increase in loss of the Telecom Products Business; and (iii) the impairment provisions against the property development projects and fair value loss of the investment properties of the Group in the PRC.

The Board does not recommend payment of an interim dividend for the six months ended 30 June 2017 (30 June 2016: nil).

BUSINESS REVIEW

Telecom Products Business

During the reporting period, revenue of the Telecom Products Business was HK$168 million, fell by 35.6% as compared with the revenue of HK$261 million in the last comparable period.

1

The decreasing revenue of the Telecom Products Business was the result of the slow economy in the eurozone, declining demand of cordless phones and keen market competition of the cordless phone market. The performance of the Telecom Products Business has further been dampened by the increasing operating cost in Mainland China. Shortage of labour and the rising wages and manufacturing costs has rendered the manufacturing operations in China difficult, especially when there was no more advantages and preferential treatments given by the Chinese government to foreign enterprises engaging in manufacturing operations as in the past. It is noticed that most of the operating loss of the Telecom Products Business in recent years was attributable to the manufacturing operations of the Group, as a result of the deteriorating manufacturing environment in the Mainland China.

The management has taken initiatives to restructure and reform the Telecom Products Business, in order to combat the current difficult operating environment faced by this business. During 2016, the Company disposed of the Child Products Trading Business to the CCT Fortis Group, as the Company found it difficult to grow that business. The disposal of the Child Products Trading Business was completed in October 2016. After the disposal, the Group continues to supply the Child Products to the CCT Fortis Group. On 11 August 2017, the Company took further action to restructure the Telecom Products Business by entering into the Agreement with the Subscriber in order to transfer the Products Manufacturing Operations to the Subscriber. Completion of the Agreement took place on 11 August 2017. After completion of the Agreement, members of the Enterprise Group have ceased to be subsidiaries of the Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Subscriber together with CCT Enterprise have undertaken to manufacture the Products and the Child Products on an outsource basis for the Remaining Group for a period of three years after completion of the Agreement, at reasonable market price acceptable to the Remaining Group. After completion of the Agreement, the Remaining Group will cease to be engaged in the Products Manufacturing Operations and will focus in the Products Trading Business.

In the first half of 2017, the Telecom Products Business recorded an operating loss of HK$36 million (2016: HK$6 million), of which HK$35 million (2016: HK$12 million) was attributable to the Products Manufacturing Operations.

Mainland Property Business

During the period under review, we strived to increase the sales of our Anshan property projects. The Group sold a total of 192 units of the Landmark City and Evian Villa projects in the six months ended 30 June 2017 (2016: 103 units), and generated revenue of HK$93 million for the period, increased 89.8% as compared with HK$49 million for the corresponding period in 2016.

In Anshan, the progress of destocking of property inventory is slow. The market sentiment was also affected by the cooling measures introduced by the Central Government to curb speculation. Due to high inventory level in Anshan and the cut-price strategies adopted by some local developers, the unit selling prices for Landmark City and Evian Villa continued to be under pressure during the period under review. As a result, the Mainland Property Business recorded an operating loss of HK$81 million in the current period, as compared with HK$23 million in the comparable period last year. The increase in loss was partly because of the weak selling prices and partly of the impairment loss of approximately HK$55 million on our Anshan projects due to the difficult market environment in Anshan.

2

The property demand in Anshan is driven mainly by end users with little investment needs. Furthermore, the cold season in this north-eastern city of China is long and usually lasts for five to six months every year, during which property sales are slow and construction work has to come to a complete stop due to the cold weather. Our development and sales strategies have been designed to suit the market environment in Anshan and these strategies have proven to be effective as our Landmark City and Evian Villa Projects are one of the best-selling projects in the local districts.

As for the land site DN1 located in the High-tech Development Zone in Anshan, we plan to develop the land lot into a high-end luxury residential project entitling the name “Evian Garden”. During the period, we have streamlined our development plan to build low-rise apartments and offer more units with a wide range of sizes to first time home buyers and existing house owners who wish to change house to improve their living environment. The changes in the development plan will allow us to develop Evian Garden with an increased plot ratio and hence will increase the gross sales area to 166,000 square meters from the previous plan of 100,000 square meters. The Evian Garden Project will be developed by phases. Construction commenced in the first half of 2017.

Finance Business

The PRC subsidiary in which the Group has 51% equity interest has commenced its finance business since the first half of 2016. In the meantime, the operating and regulatory environment surrounding the online finance business in the Mainland China has been evolving and changing. Our PRC finance company is trying to adapt to the changing environment in the development of its finance business. In the first half of 2017, the PRC subsidiary recorded revenue of HK$5 million and contributed an operating profit of HK$4 million from its offline finance business, as compared with an operating profit of HK$2 million against revenue of HK$3 million for the last corresponding period. In view of the satisfactory performance of the Finance Business, we intend to grow the offline finance business in order to increase our revenue and improve our profitability.

OUTLOOK

The process for United Kingdom preparing to leave the European Union will undoubtedly be complex and time-consuming. The essential questions that have to be addressed are whether, at the conclusion of the negotiations, there will be undue fluctuation to the economies of Europe and hence, the economies of the rest of the world. In addition, the possible interest rate hike in the second half of the year is expected to create uncertainties to the global economy. Furthermore, geopolitical tensions may also pose risks to the global economic outlook. The management will monitor the development and assess the potential impact to the Group.

Following completion of the Agreement, the Group has ceased to be engaged in the loss-making Products Manufacturing Operations. Following the Transactions, the Group intends to continue to be engaged in the Products Trading Business. The Transactions have enabled the Group to further reform and transform its Telecom Products Business by focusing on the development and trading of products, with a view to streamline its cost structure and to improve its efficiency. This is expected to enhance the competitiveness of the Group in the telecom product market. As the global economy has bottomed out, and there is solid demand for consumer electronic products in general, we are cautiously optimistic with the Products Trading Business in the long run. We will continue to enhance our products and will continue to seek new customers and expand our customer base by leveraging our solid experience in the telecom and electronic industry.

The Central Economic Work Conference in the PRC has made it clear that “Houses are for living, not for flipping” (房子是用來住的,不是用來炒的). This new policy has set a clear tone for housing market control in 2017, with focus on curbing speculation. However, we are optimistic in the property market in China in the long term as demand for housing is expected to continue to grow in line with the growth of income and wealth of the Chinese people. We will strive to increase sales of our Anshan projects and improve our profit margin. We anticipate that the PRC property market will be prosperous in the long run. We will keep exploring expansion of our property business in other parts of China, including the south-east China. We may replenish our land bank and acquire property projects should suitable opportunities arise.

We have been proactively exploring and seeking new business opportunities in order to broaden our revenue and improve our profitability. On 6 March 2017, an agreement (as amended by the supplemental agreement dated 16 June 2017) (the “ Acquisition Agreement ”) was entered into by the Company, under which the Company has conditionally agreed to acquire 51% equity interest in Sino Partner Global Limited (the “ Target Company ”). The Target Company and its subsidiaries (the “ Target Group ”) owns the well-established European supercar brand “Apollo” and is engaged in the design, development, manufacturing and sale of supercars in the PRC, Europe and internationally. The Target Group also has plan to develop its own electric vehicles and enter into the electric vehicle market. A circular relating to the proposed acquisition under the Acquisition Agreement is being prepared and as announced in the Company’s announcement dated 28 June 2017, the dispatch date of the circular will be further postponed to the date falling on or before 15 September 2017.

The Group’s financial position is strong and our gearing ratio remains at a low level. The Group is well positioned to meet future challenges and grasp new business opportunities to enhance shareholders’ value.

APPRECIATION

On behalf of the Board, I wish to thank the directors, the management and all our employees for their dedication, loyalty, and hard work to meet the challenges during the period. I also want to thank our shareholders, investors, bankers, customers and suppliers for their continued encouragement and strong support to the Group.

The Group’s revenue was HK$266 million for the six months ended 30 June 2017, decreased by 15.0% as compared with HK$313 million for the corresponding period in 2016. The decrease in the Group’s revenue was due to the net change of (i) the increase in revenue by HK$44 million from the Mainland Property Business (ii) the decrease in revenue by HK$93 million from the Telecom Products Business; and (iii) the increase in revenue of the Finance Business.

5

During the six months ended 30 June 2017, the loss attributable to owners of the parent was HK$149 million (2016: HK$32 million). The increase in loss was mainly due to: (i) share option expenses of HK$24 million; (ii) the increase in loss of the manufacturing operations and the Mainland Property Business due to difficult operating environment; and (iii) the impairment provisions against the property development projects and fair value loss of the investment properties in Mainland China of total amount of HK$83 million, as result of current market situation and tightening policies and measures imposed by the Chinese Government.

Net profit attributable to non-controlling interests represented share of net profit by the minority shareholder of the PRC subsidiary engaged in the Finance Business.

The discontinued operation, representing the Child Product Trading Business disposed of to the CCT Fortis Group in October 2016, was break-even for the six months ended 30 June 2016.

Telecom Products Business

In the first half of 2017, the Telecom Products Business continued to be the Group’s largest segment in terms of revenue contribution, contributing 63.1% (2016: 83.3%) of the total revenue of the Group. During the six months ended 30 June 2017, revenue of the Telecom Products Business was HK$168 million, decreased by 35.6% as compared with the revenue of HK$261 million in the corresponding period of last year. It recorded an operating loss of HK$36 million for the six months ended 30 June 2017, surged by HK$30 million or 500% as compared with an operating loss of HK$6 million in the comparable period of 2016. Of the operating loss of HK$36 million for the current period, an operating loss of HK$35 million (2016: operating loss of HK$12 million) was attributable to the Products Manufacturing Operations and operating loss of HK$1 million (2016: operating profit of HK$6 million) was attributable to the Products Trading Business.

However, loss before interest and tax for this segment increased to HK$81 million by HK$58 million as compared with the loss of HK$23 million in the comparable period last year.

Finance Business

Operating profit of the Finance Business was HK$4 million, which doubled the profit of HK$2 million in the corresponding period in 2016, mainly due to increase in interest income the offline finance business.

In view of the Group’s current cash position and the unutilised banking facilities available, the Group continued to maintain a sound financial position and has sufficient resources to finance its operations and its future expansion plan.

CAPITAL COMMITMENTS

(31 December 2016: nil).

TREASURY MANAGEMENT

The Group employs a conservative approach to cash management and risk control. To achieve better risk control and efficient fund management, the Group’s treasury activities are centralised.

During the six months ended 30 June 2017, the Group’s receipts were mainly denominated in US dollar and RMB. Payments were mainly made in HK$, US dollar and RMB. Cash was generally placed in short-term deposits denominated in HK$ and RMB. In the first half of 2017, the Group’s borrowings were mainly denominated in HK$ and RMB and interest on the borrowing was principally determined on a floating rate basis.

9

The objective of the Group’s treasury policies is to minimise risks and exposures due to the fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Group does not have any significant interest rate risk at present as the interest rates currently remain at low level. In terms of foreign exchange exposures, the Group is principally exposed to two major currencies, namely the US dollar and RMB in terms of receipts and the RMB in terms of expenditures. Since the HK$ remains pegged to the US dollar, the exchange exposure to US currency is minimal. As for RMB exposure, the exchange rate of RMB was stablised during the first half of 2017 and it is not expected that there will be major fluctuation of RMB in the near future.

Our current exposure to foreign exchange risk is not significant. We will continue to monitor the currency exposure but we have no intention to enter into any high-risk exchange derivatives.

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS OF MATERIAL SUBSIDIARIES AND ASSOCIATES

The Group did not acquire or dispose of any material subsidiaries and associates during the period under review.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

As at 30 June 2017, the Group did not have any significant contingent liabilities (30 June 2016: nil).

EMPLOYEES AND REMUNERATION POLICY

The total number of employees of the Group as at 30 June 2017 was 1,244 (31 December 2016: 1,526).

3. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on their products and there were four reportable operating segments during the period under review as follows:

  • (a) the Telecom Products Business segment which is the manufacture and sale of telecom and consumer electronic products and supply of infant and baby products;

  • (b) the Mainland Property Business segment which is engaged in the development and sale of properties in Mainland China;

  • (c) the Finance Business segment which is engaged in the online and offline finance business; and

  • (d) the Child Products Trading Business segment which is engaged in the trading and sale of child products (discontinued during the year ended 31 December 2016).

Management monitors the results of its operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resources allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on reportable segment profit/(loss), which is a measure of adjusted profit/(loss) before tax. The adjusted profit/(loss) before tax is measured consistently with the Group’s profit/ (loss) before tax except the head office and corporate expenses are excluded from such measurement.

Segment assets exclude corporate and other unallocated assets as these assets are managed on a group basis.

Segment liabilities exclude deferred tax liabilities, tax payable and corporate and other unallocated liabilities as these liabilities are managed on a group basis.

9. DISCONTINUED OPERATION

On 3 August 2016, CCT Tech Global Holdings Limited (“ CCT Global ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement with CCT Fortis, pursuant to which the Group conditionally agreed to dispose of its entire issued share capital of Suremark Holdings Limited (“ Suremark ”) to CCT Fortis or a nominee designated by CCT Fortis, for a consideration of HK$24,000,000 to be satisfied by way of set-off against the interest-free loan of HK$24,000,000 due by the Company to CCT Fortis as at the date of the aforesaid agreement (the “ Disposal Transaction ”).

10. LOSS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ORDINARY EQUITY HOLDERS OF THE PARENT

The calculation of the basic and diluted loss per share amounts for the period is based on the loss for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent of HK$149 million (30 June 2016: HK$32 million), and the loss from the continuing operations attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent of HK$149 million (30 June 2016: HK$32 million) and the weighted average number of 134,278,993,990 (30 June 2016: 111,650,422,562) ordinary shares in issue during the period.

No adjustment has been made to the basic loss per share amount presented for the six months ended 30 June 2017 and 2016 in respect of a dilution as the impact of the outstanding share options and the Convertible Bonds had an anti-dilutive effect on the basic loss per share amounts presented.

11. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

During the six months ended 30 June 2017, the Group acquired fixed assets of approximately HK$1 million (six months ended 30 June 2016: HK$1 million).
