CHANGE IN USE OF PROCEEDS
As announced previously, the high cost of raw materials had a direct impact of materially eroding our profit margins and production of HTRC was temporarily suspended. The Group had since continued to monitor the situation and considered that the persistently high raw material prices do not present a viable business strategy at this present time. Since the Group is embarking in the antenna business and one of its HTRC products could be manufactured for use in antennas, the Company has resolved to reduce the scale of its HTRC manufacturing to strictly manufacture HTRC products for antenna usage. The production will mainly be focused on the supply of parts for the Group’s antenna products, with a smaller scale of production allocated for sale to third parties. In view of the above development, the Company expects the required sum for financing the HTRC business will be less than that as initially planned. Furthermore, the credit tightening policies by the PRC government continues to put pressure on the Group’s cash resources. Accordingly, the transfer of proceeds to working capital serves to partially alleviate this issue faced by the Group.

The Company considers that it is necessary to adjust the proposed use of the unutilized IPO Proceeds of approximately RMB21,477,000 originally allocated for the diversification of our product portfolio in HTRC to approximately RMB5,000,000, while the remaining balance of approximately RMB16,477,000 be reallocated as general working capital of the Company. The Company has resolved to change the proposed use of unutilized IPO Proceeds in the following manner:

- The exchange rate used of HKD1: RMB0.853938 as on 23 December 2010 was based on the day the Company was successfully listed on the Stock Exchange.
The Board has considered the impact of the proposed change in the use of proceeds on the Group’s business and is of the view that the reallocation of the unutilized IPO Proceeds will meet the financial needs of the Group more efficiently as a result of the latest development of the Group’s operations and business. The Board believes that such flexibility in financial management is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
