(I) MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Half year performance — Six months ended 30 June 2015

Material changes are explained below:

Revenue

Revenue increased by approximately RMB61.9 million, or approximately 8.6% from approximately RMB723.3 million in the six months ended 30 June 2014 (“ 1H2014 ”) to approximately RMB785.2 million in the six months ended 30 June 2015 (“ 1H2015 ” or the “ Reporting Period ”) due to increased orders for the Group’s products during the Reporting Period.

RF Coaxial Cable

Revenue generated from RF Coaxial Cables increased by approximately RMB1.8 million or approximately 0.3% from approximately RMB530.1 million in 1H2014 to approximately RMB531.9 million in 1H2015.

Telecommunication equipment and accessories

Revenue generated from Accessories increased by approximately RMB23.5 million or approximately 13.5% from approximately RMB173.9 million in 1H2014 to approximately RMB197.4 million in 1H2015.

Others (HTRC and Antenna)

Revenue generated in this segment increased by approximately RMB36.6 million or approximately 189.6% from approximately RMB19.3 million in 1H2014 to approximately RMB55.9 million in 1H2015.

Gross profit margin

The Group achieved an overall gross profit margin of approximately 19.2% in 1H2015 compared to approximately 16.6% in 1H2014. The slide in copper prices during the Reporting Period has generally helped lift gross margins higher. 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 RMB3.1 million or approximately 51.7% from approximately RMB6.1 million in 1H2014 to approximately RMB3.0 million in 1H2015, which is due to lower government grants awarded to the Group’s key subsidiary, Jiangsu Hengxin Technology Co., Ltd. and a foreign exchange gain in 1H2014 compared to a loss in 1H2015.

– 20 –

Selling and distribution expenses

Selling and distribution expenses increased by approximately RMB7.6 million or approximately 22.0% from approximately RMB34.6 million in 1H2014 to approximately RMB42.2 million in 1H2015, which is in line with the Group’s higher sales during the Reporting Period. The reason for the higher rate of increase is two-fold: it is due to bulkier products and shipment of goods to more remote regions within the PRC.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses increased by approximately RMB6.7 million or approximately 39.9% from approximately RMB16.8 million in 1H2014 to approximately RMB23.5 million in 1H2015. This is due to a general increase in expenses during the Reporting Period, of which also includes an increase in payroll costs, depreciation, advertising, amortisation of land and buildings which were purchased in the previous financial year, and an one-time administrative charge with respect to an additional loan obtained during the Reporting Period.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses increased by approximately RMB9.5 million or approximately 62.5% from approximately RMB15.2 million in 1H2014 to approximately RMB24.7 million in 1H2015. The increase is due to higher R&D expenses incurred from continued customer requests for new product specifications during the Reporting Period.

Finance costs

Finance costs increased by approximately RMB2.1 million or approximately 91.3% from approximately RMB2.3 million in 1H2014 to approximately RMB4.4 million in 1H2015 due to higher level of borrowings during the Reporting Period.

Profit before income tax

Profit before income tax increased by approximately RMB1.3 million or approximately 2.3% from approximately RMB57.3 million in 1H2014 to approximately RMB58.6 million in 1H2015 due to increased revenue during the Reporting Period.

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 2014.

Income tax expense decreased by approximately RMB0.8 million or approximately 7.8% from approximately RMB10.2 million in 1H2014 to approximately RMB9.4 million in 1H2015. This is due to an additional income tax being recognised in 1H2014, which resulted in higher income tax expenses in 1H2014 compared to 1H2015.

Net profit

In view of the above, net profit attributable to equity holders of the parent increased by approximately RMB2.1 million or approximately 4.5% from approximately RMB47.1 million in 1H2014 compared to approximately RMB49.2 million in 1H2015.

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 and as security for bank borrowings. Pledged bank deposits decreased by approximately RMB2.9 million or approximately 12.7% from approximately RMB22.8 million as at 31 December 2014 to approximately RMB19.9 million as at 30 June 2015 mainly due to a repayment of bank loan in which the corresponding security was no longer required.

Trade receivables

Trade receivables increased by approximately RMB40.6 million or approximately 6.4% from approximately RMB639.3 million as at 31 December 2014 to approximately RMB679.9 million as at 30 June 2015.

Average trade receivables turnover days are 170 days as at 30 June 2015 compared to 164 days as at 31 December 2014.

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 in its collection efforts on the outstanding balances.

Other receivables and prepayments

Other receivables and prepayments increased by approximately RMB22.9 million or approximately 40.6% from approximately RMB56.4 million as at 31 December 2014 to approximately RMB79.3 million as at 30 June 2015. The increase is mainly due to an increase in advances made to raw material suppliers and an increase in VAT receivable.

Inventories

Inventories (comprising raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods) increased by approximately RMB20.4 million or approximately 13.3% from approximately RMB153.0 million as at 31 December 2014 to approximately RMB173.4 million as at 30 June 2015. The increase is in response to an anticipation of relatively higher orders from customers.

– 22 –

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment increased by approximately RMB1.2 million or approximately 0.8% from approximately RMB147.7 million as at 31 December 2014 to approximately RMB146.5 million as at 30 June 2015. Depreciation expenses were partially offset by certain asset and equipment additions, accounting for the slight increase.

Short-term bank loans

Short-term bank loans increased by approximately RMB72.0 million or approximately 35.2% from approximately RMB204.8 million as at 31 December 2014 to approximately RMB276.8 million as at 30 June 2015 mainly due to an additional loan obtained during the Reporting Period.

Trade payables and Other payables

Trade payables decreased by approximately RMB22.3 million or approximately 17.6% from approximately RMB126.4 million as at 31 December 2014 to approximately RMB104.1 million as at 30 June 2015. Payment period to suppliers has broadly been reduced as part of the Group’s negotiations with suppliers to obtain lower raw material pricing, which explains the lower trade payables balance at the end of the Reporting Period.

Other payables have remained largely the same, from approximately RMB33.2 million as at 31 December 2014 to approximately RMB32.8 million as at 30 June 2015.

Income tax payable

Income tax payable increased by approximately RMB2.8 million or approximately 82.4% from approximately RMB3.4 million as at 31 December 2014 to approximately RMB6.2 million as at 30 June 2015 mainly due to timing differences in the payment of taxes in these periods.

Cash and bank balances

Cash and bank balances increased by approximately RMB22.4 million or approximately 4.8% from approximately RMB469.1 million as at 31 December 2014 to approximately RMB491.5 million as at 30 June 2015 mainly due to an additional loan obtained during the Reporting 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.

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)

With the second batch of 4G licences being issued in February 2015, China’s 3 telecom operators are now officially on the 4G bandwagon.

According to data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), China’s mobile Internet traffic totalled approximately 2.05 million Terabytes, a year-on-year increase of approximately 47.1%. As the digital connectivity’s effect in driving commerce continues to be one of the key pillars to China’s economic growth, the Chinese government had, in March 2015, launched an “Internet Plus” action plan that seeks to drive economic growth through the integration of internet with traditional businesses such as manufacturing and agriculture. One of its policy goals is to promote information consumption and raise connection speeds in the coming years through the upgrade of telecommunications infrastructure to boost data streaming ability, especially in remote and rural areas. These policies are expected to have a positive bearing on our Group for the next few years.

Infrastructure development remains a top priority for China’s government. As part of China’s continued plan to raise infrastructure standards, the government will focus investing in rail infrastructure locally, and overseas. In the first half of this financial year, the Group was successfully awarded a tender with one of the railway companies to market its leaky cable series (under our RF Cables products) for use in railway mobile communications infrastructure. In addition, the Group had successfully tendered for mobile communications projects for urban rail transit in two of China’s cities. This is a significant milestone as railway communications is a new domain with a large market potential for the Group and may pave opportunities for future

– 24 –

railway and urban rail transit construction projects. On the policy front, the government is also encouraging Chinese companies to participate in overseas infrastructure projects, of which the Group hopes to be a part of. We are cautiously optimistic on the positive effects these policies will have on our Group.

The Group has also made strides on the antenna front through the successful tender of its 4G antennas with one of China’s three telecom operators in the first half of this financial year. The deepening of our antenna footprint has also encouraged us to develop into new areas such as camouflage antennas, as the trend of usage is increasingly palpable in urban landscape. The Group anticipates this would eventually be a potentially larger market than traditional antennas. In the first half of this year, we have successfully tendered for a camouflage antenna project in one of China’s provinces with one of the three telecom operators, albeit a small one. Nevertheless, this marks the first time the Group is entering into a new antenna business segment. The Group will continue efforts to grow this business segment.

Sales to overseas market has improved in the first six months over the previous period, increasing approximately 45.7%. Our venture into overseas markets has made some headway with our products being endorsed by various international telecoms equipment vendors, evident from the continued orders from these vendors. Such recognition together with the Group’s consistent product quality has also contributed to the major tenders which were awarded to the Group by large telecoms equipment vendors and telecom operators during the first half of this financial year.

Telecom operators continue to adopt a cautious approach in capital spending within and outside China. The old model of simply adding capacity due to increasing demand would inadvertently increase telecom operators’ capital expenditure. In this aspect, telecom operators have been exploring efficient uses of existing infrastructure and assets, which invariably led to the establishment of the China Communications Facilities Services Corporation Limited, which is a joint venture by China’s 3 telecom operators owning telecom infrastructure assets, to enable resource sharing and lower operating costs.

4G telecommunications require a much higher data capacity and transmission, and this constraint has led to smaller but a larger number of base stations being built but covering a smaller area with higher transmission capacity. These newer base stations adopt smaller sized cables, which have lower selling prices compared to larger cables. However, technology evolvement has also led to other possible alternative products to be used on base stations. The combination of the above elements, coupled with rising competition between telecom operators and telecom equipment suppliers is likely to impose a ceiling on our product margins.

Despite technology evolvement and the industry’s cautious spending, network growth in China continues to be on an expansion phase supported by the growing demands of content-rich data throughput by the relatively robust growth of local 3G/4G mobile subscribers. The Group witnessed growth in demand for its products during this period, albeit an evolving product mix from changes in technology and trends.

Our orders have continued to hold up well during the first six months of this financial period as a result of several successful tenders with major equipment vendors and telecom operators. From the orders received to date, the Group remains optimistic that its results for the current financial year, barring unforeseen circumstances, may perform better compared to the previous financial year.

– 25 –

Looking ahead, although the telecoms industry particularly in the area of wireless systems remains challenging due to a host of factors such as competition, changing technology and talent retention, the Group remains committed on its efforts to improve and execute its business strategies amidst a new era in mobile communications in China.

SHARE OPTION SCHEME

Reference is made to the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2014 published by the Company on 20 March 2015.

The Company adopted a share option scheme (the “ Share Option Scheme ”) on 27 October 2010, as approved by its shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting held on the same date. The Share Option Scheme is valid and effective for a period of 10 years from 27 October 2010. It is a share incentive scheme and is established to provide the people and the parties working for the interests of the Group with an opportunity to obtain an equity interest in the Company, thus linking their interests with the Group’s interest and providing them with an incentive to work better for the interest of the Group. Pursuant to the Share Option Scheme, the Board may, at its discretion, offer to grant an option to all Directors (whether executive or non-executive and whether independent or not), any employee (whether full time or part time) of the Group (whether on an employment or contractual

or honorary basis and whether paid or unpaid), who in the absolute opinion of the remuneration committee of the Company (the “ Remuneration Committee ”), have contributed to the Group. An option granted under the Share Option Scheme entitles the option holder to subscribe for a specific number of new ordinary shares in the Company.

The Share Option Scheme is administered by the Remuneration Committee which comprises:

Dr. Li Jun (Chairman) (appointed on 6 March 2015) Cui Wei Zhang Zhong Tam Chi Kwan Michael Pu Hong (appointed on 6 March 2015) Tay Ah Kong Bernard (up to 6 March 2015) Chee Teck Kwong Patrick (up to 6 March 2015)

The total number of the shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other schemes must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the shares of the Company in issue on 27 October 2010 (i.e. 33,600,000 shares), representing approximately 8.60% of the total number of the issued shares of the Company as at 31 December 2014.

The total number of the shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of the options granted under the Share Option Scheme to any eligible participants (including exercised, cancelled and outstanding options) in any 12-month period must not exceed 1% of the shares of the Company in issue, unless approved by the shareholders of the Company in general meeting at which the relevant participant and his/her associates shall abstain from voting.

Pursuant to the Share Option Scheme, the option has an exercise price* per share determined with reference to the market price of the shares at the time of grant of the option. The consideration for the grant of an option is S$1.00, payable to the Company within 28 days from the offer date (or such other period as the Remuneration Committee may determine). Options granted with the exercise price set at the market price shall only be exercised after the first anniversary but before the tenth anniversary of the date of grant of that option. The shares under option may be exercised in whole or in part on the payment of the relevant exercise price (provided that an option may be exercised in part only in respect of a board lot or any integral multiple thereof). Options granted will lapse when the option holder ceases to be a full-time employee of the Company or any company of the Group subject to certain exceptions at the discretion of the Remuneration Committee.

  • exercise price or subscription price shall be at least the highest of:

  • (i) the closing price of the shares as stated in the daily quotation sheet issued by SEHK or SGX-ST (whichever is higher) on the offer date, which must be a business day; and

  • (ii) the average closing price of the shares as stated in the daily quotation sheet issued by SEHK or SGX-ST for the five consecutive business days immediately preceding the offer date (whichever is higher).

There were no unissued shares of the Company under options granted pursuant to the Share Option Scheme.

During the financial year ended 31 December 2014 and the six months ended 30 June 2015, no options to take up unissued shares of any subsidiary were granted and there were no shares of any subsidiary issued by virtue of the exercise of an option to take up unissued shares.
