(I) MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Year-on-year performance

Revenue

Group revenue for the financial year ended 31 December 2011 increased by approximately RMB236.2 million, or approximately 20.0% from RMB1,183.1 million in the previous financial year to approximately RMB1,419.3 million in the current financial year. Such increase was due to an overall higher demand by the telecom operators during the financial year which boosted both sales in RF Coaxial Cables and Accessories.

RF Coaxial Cable

Revenue generated from RF Coaxial Cables increased by approximately RMB183.3 million or approximately 18.1% from approximately RMB1,011.6 million in the previous financial year to approximately RMB1,194.9 million in the current financial year.

Accessories

Revenue generated from Accessories increased by approximately RMB52.8 million or approximately 30.8% from approximately RMB171.5 million in the previous financial year to approximately RMB224.3 million in the current financial year.

Gross profit margin

The Group was able to maintain a relatively steady gross profit margin during the financial year ended 31 December 2011 at approximately 18.5% compared to approximately 18.7% in the previous financial year. Cost control measures are continuously undertaken and monitored by the management. This includes the reduction of raw materials costs, increase in productivity, vigilant suppliers selection for better logistics coordination, better pricing and payment terms.

Other income

Other income decreased by approximately RMB7.9 million or approximately 50.3% from approximately RMB15.3 million in the previous financial year to approximately RMB7.4 million in the current financial year. The decrease is due to outright government grants amounting approximately RMB7.9 million being given to the Group’s key subsidiary, Jiangsu Hengxin Technology Co. Ltd in 2010 as against an amount of only RMB1.0 million in 2011.

Selling and distribution expenses

Selling and distribution expenses increased by approximately RMB6.7 million or approximately 12.0% from approximately RMB55.8 million in the previous financial year to approximately RMB62.5 million in the current financial year ended 31 December 2011. The increase was in line with the Group’s higher sales achieved during the financial year.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses increased by approximately RMB4.8 million or approximately 13.2% from approximately RMB36.3 million in the previous financial year to approximately RMB41.1 million in the current financial year ended 31 December 2011. The increase was mainly due to increase in business related activities commensurate with higher revenue levels.

– 20 –

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses increased by approximately RMB16.8 million or approximately 161.5% from approximately RMB10.3 million in the previous financial year to approximately RMB27.1 million in the current financial year ended 31 December 2011. The increase was mainly due to foreign exchange losses exacerbated by the large swings in foreign exchange rates which arose from the recent financial crisis, at RMB11.8 million compared to RMB0.4 million in the previous financial year,. The increase in expenses were further contributed by higher R&D expenses incurred during the year in response to improvement on technical specifications of our products. Such R&D expenses were RMB14.1 million in the current financial year compared to RMB7.1 million in the previous financial year.

Finance costs

Finance costs increased by approximately RMB3.5 million or approximately 36.1% from approximately RMB9.7 million in the previous financial year to approximately RMB13.2 million in the current financial year ended 31 December 2011. The reduction in liquidity in the PRC financial market led to an increase in interest rates on borrowings, and together with the increase in borrowings, contributed to the increase in finance costs during the financial year.

Profit before income tax

Contributed by the above factors, profit before income tax increased by approximately RMB0.8 million or approximately 0.6% from approximately RMB124.7 million in the previous financial year to approximately RMB125.5 million in the current financial year ended 31 December 2011.

Income tax expense

The Group’s main subsidiary is subject to an incentive tax rate of 15% as it had been awarded as a high-tech enterprise. The increase in income tax expenses is due to the overall increase in profit before tax for the financial year. Accordingly, income tax expense increased by approximately RMB1.1 million or approximately 5.0% from approximately RMB22.2 million in the previous financial year to approximately RMB23.3 million in the current financial year ended 31 December 2011.

Net profit

In view of the above, net profit attributable to equity holders of the parent decreased approximately RMB0.4 million from approximately RMB102.6 million in 2010 compared to approximately RMB102.2 million in 2011.

Fourth quarter (“4Q”) performance

Revenue

Group revenue decreased by approximately RMB3.2 million, or approximately 1.0% from approximately RMB317.7 million in 4Q2010 to approximately RMB314.5 million in 4Q2011. The decrease was due to a slight slowdown in demand by telecom operators in the PRC during 4Q2011.

RF Coaxial Cable

Revenue generated from RF Coaxial Cables decreased by approximately RMB30.1 million or approximately 10.4% from approximately RMB288.9 million in 4Q2010 to approximately RMB258.8 million in 4Q2011.

Accessories

Revenue generated from Accessories increased by approximately RMB26.8 million or approximately 93.1% from approximately RMB28.8 million in 4Q2010 to approximately RMB55.6 million in 4Q2011.

Gross profit margin

Gross profit margin for 4Q2011 stood at approximately 18.9% compared to approximately 17.7% in 4Q2010. The higher gross profit margin for the quarter is due to higher gross margins contributed by the sale of Accessories.

Other income

Other income increased by approximately RMB1.3 million or approximately 54.1% from approximately RMB2.4 million in 4Q2010 to approximately RMB3.7 million in 4Q2011. The increase is due to higher interest income earned and a write back of defunct trade payables during the period.

Selling and distribution expenses

Selling and distribution expenses increased by approximately RMB1.5 million or approximately 10.3% from approximately RMB14.6 million in 4Q2010 to approximately RMB16.1 million in 4Q2011. The increase arose from marketing expenses that should have been incurred in the usual period of January was instead incurred in December due to the proximity of Chinese New Year in January 2012 which was earlier than usual.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses decreased by approximately RMB1.2 million or approximately 11.0% from approximately RMB10.9 million in 4Q2010 to approximately RMB9.7 million in 4Q2011 mainly due to an absence of dual listing expenses which were incurred in 2010.

– 22 –

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses increased by approximately RMB4.0 million or approximately 111.1% from approximately RMB3.6 million in 4Q2010 to approximately RMB7.6 million in 4Q2011. The increase was due to higher foreign exchange losses led by large swings in foreign exchange rates during the period, coupled with higher R&D expenses incurred in response to improvement in technical specifications of our products.

Finance costs

Finance costs increased by approximately RMB2.5 million or approximately 312.5% from approximately RMB0.8 million in 4Q2010 to approximately RMB3.3 million in 4Q2011. The reduction in liquidity in the PRC financial market led to an increase in interest rates on borrowings, and together with the increase in borrowings, contributed to the increase in finance costs during the financial year.

Profit before income tax

Profit before income tax decreased by approximately RMB2.1 million or approximately 7.3% from approximately RMB28.8 million in 4Q2010 to approximately RMB26.7 million in 4Q2011 due to lower revenue generated in 4Q2011.

Income tax expense

The Group’s main subsidiary is subject to an incentive tax rate of 15% as it had been awarded as a high-tech enterprise. Income tax expenses is relatively unchanged at RMB5.6 million for both 4Q2010 and 4Q2011.

Net profit

In view of the above, net profit attributable to equity holders of the parent decreased by approximately RMB2.1 million or approximately 9.1% from approximately RMB23.2 million in 4Q2010 to approximately RMB21.1 million in 4Q2011.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

Material fluctuations of balance sheet items are explained below:

Pledged bank deposits

Pledged bank deposits are used as a pledged against commercial bills used for payment to suppliers. The decrease by approximately RMB9.7 million from approximately RMB62.6 million as at 31 December 2010 to approximately RMB52.9 million as at 31 December 2011 was due to a lower amount of bank deposits required to be set aside as securities for a correspondingly lower amount payable in the form of commercial bills to suppliers.

Trade receivables

Trade receivables increased by approximately RMB107.9 million from approximately RMB626.7 million as at 31 December 2010 to approximately RMB734.6 million as at 31 December 2011.

– 23 –

Average trade receivables turnover days are 179 days as at 31 December 2011 compared to 212 days as at 31 December 2010. Efforts by the Group during the year to increase collection which resulted in a lower trade receivables turnover days as at the end of the financial year.

Other receivables and prepayments

Other receivables and prepayments increased by approximately RMB15.3 million from approximately RMB13.0 million as at 31 December 2010 to approximately RMB28.3 million as at 31 December 2011. The increase in balance is mainly due to a higher amount of advanced payment made to certain suppliers as at 31 December 2011.

Inventories

Inventories (comprising raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods) increased by approximately RMB7.5 million from approximately RMB128.4 million as at 31 December 2010 to approximately RMB135.9 million as at 31 December 2011. This is in anticipation of deliveries prior to the Chinese New Year in 2012.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment increased by approximately RMB16.9 million from approximately RMB141.0 million in 31 December 2010 to approximately RMB157.9 million as at 31 December 2011 due to the construction of a new building in the premises of our PRC subsidiary arising from the need for more office space by the Group.

Available-for-sale investment

The Group made a 10% equity stake in a PRC-based company during 3Q2011. The Company is also in the telecommunications industry, and the Group believes that the business of the investee company is able to complement its existing business moving forward.

Short-term bank loans

Short-term bank loans increased by approximately RMB190.0 million from approximately RMB40.0 million in 31 December 2010 to approximately RMB230.0 million as at 31 December 2011 as the need for more working capital arising from the higher demand for the Group’s products and the reduction in available liquidity in the PRC resulted in a higher amount of loans obtained during the year.

Trade payables and Other payables

Trade payables decreased by approximately RMB64.8 million from approximately RMB323.3 million as at 31 December 2010 to approximately RMB258.5 million as at 31 December 2011 in line with the decrease in purchases for raw materials during the period.

Other payables and accruals increased by approximately RMB3.2 million from approximately RMB25.5 million as at 31 December 2010 to approximately RMB28.7 million as at 31 December 2011 as a result of certain payments to be made for the construction of the new office building.

– 24 –

Income tax payable

Income tax payable increased by approximately RMB6.7 million during the period as income taxes for 3Q2011 had yet to be paid to the income tax authorities. It was subsequently paid off in January 2012.

Cash and bank balances

Cash and bank balances increased by approximately RMB76.6 million from RMB247.1 million to approximately RMB323.7 million mainly due to higher loans obtained during the year.

(II) LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL RESOURCES

In addition to its short-term interesting-bearing facilities, the Group generally finances its operations from cash flows generated internally.

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of debt and equity balance.

The Management monitors capital based on the Group net gearing ratio. The Group net gearing ratio is calculated as net borrowings divided by total equity. Net borrowings are calculated as total short-term loans less cash and cash equivalents at the end of the reporting period.

(III) PROSPECTS (A COMMENTARY AT THE DATE OF THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS OF THE INDUSTRY IN WHICH THE GROUP OPERATES AND ANY KNOWN FACTORS OR EVENTS THAT MAY AFFECT THE GROUP IN THE NEXT REPORTING PERIOD AND THE NEXT 12 MONTHS)

According to statistics provided by the three major Chinese telecom operators China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom, the number of 3G subscribers in the PRC has now reached a total of 127.5 million as at 31 December 2011, compared to only 47.1 million as at 31 December 2010. The growth in 3G subscribers is largely driven by the expansion of smartphones’ penetration to the lay mobile subscribers.

– 25 –

With the proliferation of smartphones across China and the introduction of cloud computing, the demand for mobile phone data traffic remains increasingly high, further driving the expansion of mobile networks.

Nonetheless, the average revenue per user (“ ARPU ”) has been decreasing steadily in the PRC, and telecom operators are exploring ways to reduce costs, which includes cutting down network expansions while increasing network optimisation. In addition, the older networks which rely on Radio Frequency (“ RF ”) systems will be gradually replaced with better and higher quality RF cabling systems at even lower costs. In this aspect, the Group is working continuously to improve its quality while mindful of the costs to customers. We will however, continue to closely monitor market and industry developments so that we can respond quickly and effectively to relevant changes.

India continues to be the Group’s significant market after China. Our sales to the Indian market have slowed down in the second half of 2011 due to various telecom regulatory issues raised by the Indian authorities. The successful execution of our Indian business in 2012 is heavily reliant on whether the Indian regulatory bodies will restrict telecom operators’ ability to boost revenue through charging higher-paying services to more customers through various collaborations with other Indian telecom operators. This will directly impact on the rate of expansion of mobile communication networks within India. With the telecom operators’ market’s revenue stagnating due to rapidly declining ARPU, and the fact that it has one of the lowest ARPU in the world, the Group is witnessing an intensely competitive market in the Indian continent.

The Group will hence continue to focus in expanding its overseas clientele base outside India and the PRC.

The antenna manufacturing line, together with its testing facility, is scheduled to be completed by mid 2012. The Group hopes to be able to commence manufacture for sale within the PRC in the second half of 2012, but this is conditional upon the Group being able to submit its tender in time, as telecom operators will require a certain timeframe in conducting vigorous quality assessment before accepting our products for tender.

The purchase of large scale equipments for production of high temperature resistant cable (“ HTRC ”) products is temporarily suspended due to the high costs of certain raw material components. The Group will provide updates as and when new developments arise.

In view of the mobile networks consolidation across the globe and increasing competition, the Group is expected to face continued pressure on selling prices and narrowing margins. If we are unable to effectively respond to these risks and pricing pressures, our revenue, gross margin & profitability could be materially affected and our gross margins could continue to be reduced. The global economic recovery is still fragile with the debt crisis in Europe casting its shadow over consumer sentiment. We are also mindful of the expected further strengthening of the Renminbi, the rising costs of labour across China, the rising costs of commodities such as copper and aluminium, and the intense competition within the industry.

The Group will also be keeping a close tab on the technological and business developments within the industry and explore other investment and business opportunities.

At 31 December 2011, certain constructions were built on a piece of land located in the PRC (the “ No. 5 Land ”) amounting to approximately RMB31.6 million. In addition the Group had prepaid RMB5.76 million as deposit for the acquisition of such land but the Group has yet to obtain the land certificate. In the opinion of the Group, the No. 5 Land is highly likely to be put on auction. Pursuant to a directors’ resolution in 2010, the Group resolved to take part in the future auction (if any) of the No. 5 Land at an estimated price of approximately RMB6.8 million or at a higher price to be authorised by the directors.
