(I) MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Half year performance

Material changes are explained below:

Revenue

Revenue decreased by approximately RMB39.6 million, or approximately 5.9% from approximately RMB675.4 million in the six months ended 30 June 2011 (“ 1H2011 ”) to approximately RMB635.8 million in the six months ended 30 June 2012 (“ 1H2012 ”). Lower spending by telecom operators on our products in the domestic and overseas markets resulted in a lower revenue during the period.

RF Coaxial Cable

Revenue generated from RF Coaxial Cables decreased by approximately RMB62.6 million or approximately 10.8% from approximately RMB578.0 million in 1H2011 to approximately RMB515.4 million in 1H2012.

Accessories

Revenue generated from Accessories increased by approximately RMB22.0 million or approximately 22.5% from approximately RMB97.5 million in 1H2011 to approximately RMB119.5 million in 1H2012.

Gross profit margin

The Group achieved an overall gross profit margin of approximately 17.9% in 1H2012, relatively unchanged compared to 1H2011. The Group continues to monitor production efficiencies to ensure optimal raw materials utilisation, stringent selection of suppliers in tender biddings to keep costs to a minimum, coupled with efficient use of various resources to keep up with price pressures resulting from keen competition.

Other income

Other income increased by approximately RMB4.2 million or approximately 150.0% from approximately RMB2.8 million in 1H2011 to approximately RMB7.0 million in 1H2012. The increase is mainly due to government grants being awarded to the Group’s key subsidiary, Jiangsu Hengxin Technology Co., Ltd and a higher interest income earned in 1H2012.

Selling and distribution expenses

Selling and distribution expenses decreased by approximately RMB2.0 million or approximately 6.8% from approximately RMB29.6 million in 1H2012 to approximately RMB27.6 million in 1H2012. The decrease was in line with the Group’s lower sales achieved during the financial period.

– 20 –

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses decreased by approximately RMB4.4 million or approximately 19.6% from approximately RMB22.4 million in 1H2011 to approximately RMB18.0 million in 1H2012 as the Group adopted various cost control measures during the financial period.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses remained relatively unchanged, decreasing by approximately RMB0.2 million or approximately 2.7% from approximately RMB7.5 million in 1H2011 to approximately RMB7.3 million in 1H2012. The absence of the loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment in 1H2011 amounting RMB0.7 million was partially offset by an increase in R&D expenses of approximately RMB0.6 million in 1H2012.

Finance costs

Finance costs increased by approximately RMB6.4 million or approximately 123.1% from approximately RMB5.2 million in 1H2011 to approximately RMB11.6 million in 1H2012. The Group secured a higher amount of borrowings to finance its working capital needs, resulting in an increase in Finance costs in 1H2012 compared to that in 1H2011.

Profit before income tax

Profit before income tax decreased by approximately RMB2.9 million or approximately 4.9% from approximately RMB59.1 million in 1H2011 to approximately RMB56.2 million in 1H2012 due to lower revenue achieved.

Income tax expense

The Group’s main subsidiary has been subject to an incentive tax rate of 15% as it has been awarded as a high-tech enterprise in the PRC since 2008. The decrease in income tax expenses is in line with the decrease in profit before tax for 1H2012. Accordingly, income tax expense decreased by approximately RMB0.2 million or approximately 2.0% from approximately RMB10.1 million in 1H2011 to approximately RMB9.9 million in 1H2012.

Net profit

In view of the above, net profit attributable to equity holders of the parent decreased by approximately RMB2.7 million or approximately 5.5% from approximately RMB49.0 million in 1H2011 compared to approximately RMB46.3 million in 1H2012.

Second quarter performance — Three months ended 30 June

Revenue

Group revenue decreased by approximately RMB20.7 million, or approximately 5.2% from approximately RMB396.9 million in the three months ended 30 June 2011 (“ 2Q2011 ”) to approximately RMB376.2 million in the three months ended 30 June 2012 (“ 2Q2012 ”). The decrease was due to lower spending by telecom operators in the PRC and overseas during the period.

– 21 –

RF Coaxial Cable

Revenue generated from RF Coaxial Cables decreased by approximately RMB33.7 million or approximately 10.1% from approximately RMB332.2 million in 2Q2011 to approximately RMB298.5 million in 2Q2012.

Accessories

Revenue generated from Accessories increased by approximately RMB12.4 million or approximately 19.2% from approximately RMB64.7 million in 2Q2011 to approximately RMB77.1 million in 2Q2012.

Gross profit margin

Gross profit margin for 2Q2012 stood at approximately 18.3% compared to approximately 17.6% in 2Q2011. Higher sales from Accessories segment contributed to a higher GP margin during the period. The Group continues to monitor production efficiencies to ensure optimal raw materials utilisation, stringent selection of suppliers in tender biddings to keep costs to a minimum, coupled with efficient use of various resources to keep up with price pressures resulting from keen competition.

Other income

Other income increased by approximately RMB1.4 million or approximately 350.0% from approximately RMB0.4 million in 2Q2011 to approximately RMB1.8 million in 2Q2012. The increase arose from higher interest income earned and government grants during the period.

Selling and distribution expenses

Selling and distribution expenses increased by approximately RMB1.1 million or approximately 7.6% from approximately RMB14.4 million in 2Q2011 to approximately RMB15.5 million in 2Q2012. The increase is in line with the Group’s focus to market its products in new geographical markets and clientele, thus incurring a higher level of marketing costs.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses decreased by approximately RMB3.9 million or approximately 31.2% from approximately RMB12.5 million in 2Q2011 to approximately RMB8.6 million in 2Q2012. The decrease was mainly due to the Group’s cost control measures during the period.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses increased by approximately RMB1.1 million or approximately 22.0% from approximately RMB5.0 million in 2Q2011 to approximately RMB6.1 million in 2Q2012. The increase was due to foreign exchange losses incurred, which was partially offset by lower R&D expenses during the period.

– 22 –

Finance costs

Finance costs increased by approximately RMB2.3 million or approximately 60.5% from approximately RMB3.8 million in 2Q2011 to approximately RMB6.1 million in 2Q2012. The Group secured a higher amount of borrowings to finance its working capital needs, resulting in an increase in Finance costs in 2Q2012 compared to that in 2Q2011.

Profit before income tax

Profit before income tax decreased by approximately RMB0.3 million or approximately 0.9% from approximately RMB34.7 million in 2Q2011 to approximately RMB34.4 million in 2Q2012 as a result of lower revenue generated and higher finance costs in 2Q2012.

Income tax expense

The Group’s main subsidiary has been subject to an incentive tax rate of 15% as it has been awarded as a high-tech enterprise in the PRC since 2008. The increase in income tax expense is due to higher profits achieved by the Group’s main subsidiary, Jiangsu Hengxin Technology Co., Ltd in 1H2012 compared to 1H2011.

Net profit

In view of the above, net profit attributable to equity holders of the parent decreased by approximately RMB0.6 million or approximately 2.1% from approximately RMB28.4 million in 2Q2011 to approximately RMB27.8 million in 2Q2012.

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. Pledged bank deposits decreased by approximately RMB15.4 million or approximately 29.1% from approximately RMB52.9 million as at 31 December 2011 to approximately RMB37.5 million as at 30 June 2012 due to a lower amount of commercial bills payable to suppliers, requiring a lower amount of bank balances required to be set aside as securities.

Trade receivables

Trade receivables increased by approximately RMB128.2 million or approximately 17.5% from approximately RMB734.6 million as at 31 December 2011 to approximately RMB862.8 million as at 30 June 2012.

Average trade receivables turnover days are 239 days as at 30 June 2012 compared to 179 days as at 31 December 2011 and 253 days as at 31 March 2012. Due to the macro-economic slowdown in the PRC, its major customers are taking a longer period in making payments. Nonetheless, most trade receivables balances are recent sales which are well within the average credit period given to our customers. The Group will endeavour to continue its collection efforts on the outstanding balances.

– 23 –

Other receivables and prepayments

Other receivables and prepayments increased by approximately RMB15.1 million or approximately 53.4% from approximately RMB28.3 million as at 31 December 2011 to approximately RMB43.4 million as at 30 June 2012. Due to a major tender exercise held in 2012 requiring the Group to increase its manufacturing pace and adhere to strict delivery schedules, the Group made deposits to raw material suppliers amounting RMB33.5 million as at 30 June 2012 compared to RMB16.6 million as at 31 December 2011 so as to ensure customer requirements can be met.

Inventories

Inventories (comprising raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods) decreased by approximately RMB14.1 million or approximately 10.4% from approximately RMB135.9 million as at 31 December 2011 to approximately RMB121.8 million as at 30 June 2012. This is due to the Group’s forecast of slower sales expected in the coming months.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment decreased by approximately RMB5.1 million or approximately 3.2% from approximately RMB157.9 million as at 31 December 2011 to approximately RMB152.8 million as at 30 June 2012 arising from addition of property, plant and equipment, which is offset by depreciation expenses during the period.

Short-term bank loans

Short-term bank loans decreased by approximately RMB10.0 million or approximately 4.3% from approximately RMB230.0 million as at 31 December 2011 to approximately RMB220.0 million in 30 June 2012 due to repayments made during the period.

Trade payables and Other payables

Trade payables decreased by approximately RMB24.7 million or approximately 9.6% from approximately RMB258.5 million as at 31 December 2011 to approximately RMB233.8 million as at 30 June 2012 in line with lower sales during 1H2012.

Other payables decreased by approximately RMB13.4 million or approximately 46.7% from approximately RMB28.7 million as at 31 December 2011 to approximately RMB15.3 million as at 30 June 2012 as some of the expenses accrued for in 2011 were being paid during 2012.

Income tax payable

Income tax payable decreased by approximately RMB6.7 million as at 30 June 2012 compared to that as at 31 December 2011. The higher balance as at 31 December 2011 related to taxes in the prior quarter which were not yet paid then, but were all paid off during 1H2012.

Cash and bank balances

Cash and bank balances decreased RMB117.0 million or approximately 36.1% from RMB323.7 million as at 31 December 2011 compared to RMB206.7 million as at 30 June 2012 mainly due to slower payments from customers during the period.

(II) LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL RESOURCES

In addition to its short-term interesting-bearing facilities, the Group generally finances its operations from cash flows generated internally. For the six months ended 30 June 2012, the Group’s negative working capital resulted in additional loans being obtained to finance the Group’s operations.

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 of the Group 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)

The mobile communications industry remains challenging. The Group experienced a modest slowdown in its RF Coaxial Cables segment, while experiencing an increase in demand for its products from the Telecommunication equipment and accessories segment. These products from the Telecommunication equipment and accessories segment continue to be in demand within and outside the PRC.

In India, regulatory uncertainties coupled with slowing growth and high inflation have pushed the Indian rupee to new lows, affecting the Group’s ability to counter the effects of weak currency using hedges. To trim its costs for the long term, telecom operators have started to adopt aluminium-made RF Coaxial cables instead of copper ones. This is expected to result in lower sales quantum due to aluminium’s lower costs.

Following the recent completion of the antenna manufacturing facility and testing chamber, the Group have started work on a few prototypes of mobile communication antennas. As announced previously, the commencement of manufacture for sale is solely conditional upon the Group being able to submit its tender in time and passing tests for various products put up for tender. The Group have not received any tenders for the sale of antennas to date, accordingly the commencement of sales for antenna may be delayed as a result.

The Group will continue to seek new geographical markets and customers in countering the weak demand in the PRC market, and will continue its efforts to actively seek potential business opportunities for the Group.
