(I) MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Half year performance — six months ended 30 June

Material changes are explained below:

Revenue

Revenue decreased by approximately RMB132.6 million, or approximately 20.9% from approximately RMB635.8 million in the six months ended 30 June 2012 (“ 1H2012 ”) to approximately RMB503.2 million in the six months ended 30 June 2013 (“ 1H2013 ”) due to lower orders for the Group’s products during the period.

RF Coaxial Cable

Revenue generated from RF Coaxial Cables decreased by approximately RMB128.4 million or approximately 24.9% from approximately RMB515.4 million in 1H2012 to approximately RMB387.0 million in 1H2013.

Accessories

Revenue generated from Accessories decreased by approximately RMB6.1 million or approximately 5.1% from approximately RMB119.5 million in 1H2012 to approximately RMB113.4 million in 1H2013.

Others (HTRC and Antenna)

Revenue generated in this segment increased by approximately RMB1.9 million or approximately 211.1% from approximately RMB0.9 million in 1H2012 to approximately RMB2.8 million in 1H2013.

Gross profit margin

The Group achieved an overall gross profit margin of approximately 19.7% in 1H2013 compared to 1H2012, arising from sales of products with higher margins during the period. The Group continues to monitor production efficiencies to ensure optimal raw materials and labour 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 decreased by approximately RMB2.6 million or approximately 37.1% from approximately RMB7.0 million in 1H2012 to approximately RMB4.4 million in 1H2013, which is due to lower interest income and government grants awarded to the Group’s key subsidiary, Jiangsu Hengxin Technology Co., Ltd.

Selling and distribution expenses

Selling and distribution expenses decreased by approximately RMB3.5 million or approximately 12.7% from approximately RMB27.6 million in 1H2012 to approximately RMB24.1 million in 1H2013, which is in line with the Group’s lower sales during the period.

– 21 –

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses remained largely constant at approximately RMB17.5 million, decreasing RMB0.5 million or approximately 2.8% compared to RMB18.0 million in 1H2012.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses increased by approximately RMB6.0 million or approximately 82.2% from approximately RMB7.3 million in 1H2012 to approximately RMB13.3 million in 1H2013. The increase arose from foreign exchange losses incurred at approximately RMB3.4 million and an increase in R&D expenses of approximately RMB2.6 million from customer requests for new product specifications during the period.

Finance costs

Finance costs decreased by approximately RMB9.6 million or approximately 82.8% from approximately RMB11.6 million in 1H2012 to approximately RMB2.0 million in 1H2013. The decrease is due to lower borrowings in 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

Profit before income tax

Profit before income tax decreased by approximately RMB9.4 million or approximately 16.7% from approximately RMB56.2 million in 1H2012 to approximately RMB46.8 million in 1H2013 due to lower revenue generated.

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 2011. The increase in income tax expenses is due to withholding taxes of RMB5.0 million being paid for dividends declared from the Group’s China subsidiary to its holding company during the period.

Accordingly, income tax expense increased by approximately RMB3.9 million or approximately 39.4% from approximately RMB9.9 million in 1H2012 to approximately RMB13.8 million in 1H2013.

Net profit

In view of the above, net profit attributable to equity holders of the parent decreased by approximately RMB13.3 million or approximately 28.7% from approximately RMB46.3 million in 1H2012 compared to approximately RMB33.0 million in 1H2013.

Second quarter performance — Three months ended 30 June

Revenue

Group revenue decreased by approximately RMB75.0 million, or approximately 19.9% from approximately RMB376.2 million in the three months ended 30 June 2012 (“ 2Q2012 ”) to approximately RMB301.2 million in the three months ended 30 June 2013 (“ 2Q2013 ”) as a result of lower orders for the Group’s products during the period.

– 22 –

RF Coaxial Cable

Revenue generated from RF Coaxial Cables decreased by approximately RMB64.9 million or approximately 21.7% from approximately RMB298.5 million in 2Q2012 to approximately RMB233.6 million in 2Q2013.

Accessories

Revenue generated from Accessories decreased by approximately RMB10.3 million or approximately 13.4% from approximately RMB77.1 million in 2Q2012 to approximately RMB66.8 million in 2Q2013.

Others (HTRC and Antenna)

Revenue generated in this segment increased by approximately RMB0.2 million or approximately 33.3% from approximately RMB0.6 million in 2Q2012 to approximately RMB0.8 million in 2Q2013.

Gross profit margin

Gross profit margin for 2Q2013 stood at approximately 20.1% compared to approximately 18.3% in 2Q2012, primarily due to increased sales of products with higher margins during the period.

Other income

Other income decreased by approximately RMB0.3 million or approximately 16.7% from approximately RMB1.8 million in 2Q2012 to approximately RMB1.5 million in 2Q2013 as a result of lower interest income earned during the period.

Selling and distribution expenses

Selling and distribution expenses decreased by approximately RMB2.8 million or approximately 18.1% from approximately RMB15.5 million in 2Q2012 to approximately RMB12.7 million in 2Q2013, which is in line with the Group’s lower revenue during the period.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses increased by approximately RMB2.2 million or approximately 36.1% from approximately RMB6.1 million in 2Q2012 to approximately RMB8.3 million in 2Q2013. The increase was due to more R&D activities undertaken in response to customer requests for new specifications during the period.

Finance costs

Finance costs decreased by approximately RMB5.7 million or approximately 93.4% from approximately RMB6.1 million in 2Q2012 to approximately RMB0.4 million in 2Q2013, primarily due to lower amount of borrowings in 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

Profit before income tax

Profit before income tax decreased by approximately RMB2.5 million or approximately 7.3% from approximately RMB34.4 million in 2Q2012 to approximately RMB31.9 million in 2Q2013 as a result of lower revenue generated.

– 23 –

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 2011. The increase in income tax expenses is due to withholding taxes of RMB5.0 million being paid for dividends declared from the Group’s China subsidiary to its holding company during the period.

Accordingly, income tax expense increased by approximately RMB4.0 million or approximately 60.6% from approximately RMB6.6 million in 2Q2012 to approximately RMB10.6 million in 2Q2013.

Net profit

In view of the above, net profit attributable to equity holders of the parent decreased by approximately RMB6.6 million or approximately 23.7% from approximately RMB27.8 million in 2Q2012 to approximately RMB21.2 million in 2Q2013.

Statement of Financial Position

Material fluctuations of items in the statement of financial position are explained below:

Pledged bank deposits

Pledged bank deposits are used as security for commercial bills used for payment to suppliers. Pledged bank deposits decreased by approximately RMB19.4 million or approximately 96.0% from approximately RMB20.2 million as at 31 December 2012 to approximately RMB0.8 million as at 30 June 2013 due to a reduction in use of commercial bills for payment to suppliers during the period.

Trade receivables

Trade receivables increased by approximately RMB113.3 million or approximately 18.3% from approximately RMB618.4 million as at 31 December 2012 to approximately RMB731.7 million as at 30 June 2013.

Average trade receivables turnover days are 295 days as at 30 June 2013 compared to 223 days as at 31 December 2012 and 321 days as at 31 March 2013.

The macro-economic slowdown in the PRC has resulted in the Group’s major customers 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.

For amounts due more than six months and longer, these mainly pertain to final payment (upon project completion) owed by the three main PRC telecom operators. These outstanding balances relate to projects undertaken by these operators which had longer project completion date than as initially anticipated. These operators have been the Group’s long-time customers and the Group has been receiving regular payments from them. In view of the Group’s long-standing dealings with them and the regular receipts it had obtained from these customers, the Group does not foresee any issue in the collection of these receivables.

The Group will endeavour to continue its collection efforts on the outstanding balances.

– 24 –

Other receivables and prepayments

Other receivables and prepayments increased by approximately RMB35.0 million or approximately 144.0% from approximately RMB24.3 million as at 31 December 2012 to approximately RMB59.3 million as at 30 June 2013.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment decreased by approximately RMB8.1 million or approximately 5.3% from approximately RMB152.0 million as at 31 December 2012 to approximately RMB143.9 million as at 30 June 2013 arising mainly due to depreciation expenses during the period.

Short-term bank loans

Short-term bank loans decreased by approximately RMB12.0 million or approximately 28.6% from approximately RMB42.0 million as at 31 December 2012 to approximately RMB30.0 million in 30 June 2013 arising from partial repayment of borrowings during the period.

Trade payables and Other payables

Trade payables decreased by approximately RMB33.0 million or approximately 21.1% from approximately RMB156.3 million as at 31 December 2012 to approximately RMB123.3 million as at 30 June 2013 in line with lower sales in 1H2013.

Other payables increased by approximately RMB1.6 million or approximately 8.4% from approximately RMB19.1 million as at 31 December 2012 to approximately RMB20.7 million as at 30 June 2013 as certain expenses have been accrued for through the year compared to year end provisions made in previous periods.

(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 2013, 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 recent emergence of several over-the-top services has led to a steady decline in sms/voice services revenue within the telecoms industry. With the underlying overall growth momentum in the PRC and abroad being likely to soften in the near term, telecom operators have inevitably taken the careful and selective spending approach through higher quality, yet cost-efficient equipments and systems. These factors have continued to raise competition at higher levels with continued pressure on selling prices.

Despite the factors above, the Group will endeavour to press on with efforts to monitor changing market conditions closely, make refinements on business strategies and broaden its product variety as well as enhance its branding to expand the Group’s business contributors in the long

run. In addition, we will capitalize on our good relationships with our suppliers and customers to, amongst others, negotiate more favourable prices, and continue to market the Group’s current range of products.
