Tai Shing International (Holdings) Limited 泰盛國際(控股)有限公司[*]
(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)
(Stock Code: 8103)
FINAL RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2016
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (THE “GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”)
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the main board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited and the Stock Exchange take no responsibility for the contents of this announcement, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this announcement.
This announcement, for which the directors (the “ Directors ”) of Tai Shing International (Holdings) Limited (the “ Company ”, together with its subsidiaries, the “ Group ”) collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the GEM (the “ GEM Listing Rules ”) for the purpose of given information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that, to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this announcement is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this announcement misleading.

NOTES
1. GENERAL
The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Law of the Cayman Islands. The address of its registered office is Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive P.O. Box 2681, Grand Cayman KY1-1111, Cayman Islands. The address of its principal place of business in Hong Kong is Room M2B2, 7/F., Kaiser Estate, Phase 3, No.11 Hok Yuen Street, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The Company’s shares are listed on GEM.
The functional currency of the Company is Renminbi (“RMB”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollar (“HK$”) as the directors of the Company consider that HK$ is the appropriate presentation currency for the users of the Group’s financial statements given that the shares of the Company are listed on the Stock Exchange.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“Listing Rules”) and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (“Cap 622”).
The disclosure requirements set out in the Listing Rules regarding annual accounts have been amended with reference to Cap 622 regarding certain provisions relating to preparation of accounts and directors’ reports and to streamline with HKFRSs and became effective for the Company for the financial year ended 31 March 2016. Accordingly, the presentation and disclosure of information in the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 31 March 2016 have been changed to comply with these new requirements. Comparative information in respect of the financial year ended 31 March 2015 are presented or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements based on the new requirements. Information previously required to be disclosed under the predecessor Hong Kong Company Ordinance or Listing Rules but not under the Cap 622 or amended Listing Rules are not disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in the exchange for goods.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of HKFRS 2, leasing transactions that are within the scope of HKAS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in HKAS 2 or value in use in HKAS 36.
5
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
-
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
-
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
-
The principal accounting policies are set out in Note 4 below.
3. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HKFRSS

HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments
HKFRS 9 issued in 2009 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. HKFRS 9 was subsequently amended in 2010 to include requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and for derecognition, and further amended in 2013 to include the new requirements for general hedge accounting. Another revised version of HKFRS 9 was issued on 2014 mainly to include a) impairment requirements for financial assets and b) limited amendments to the classification and measurement requirements by introducing a ‘fair value through other comprehensive income’ (FVTOCI) measurement category for certain simple debt instruments.
Key requirements of HKFRS 9 are described below:
-
All recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” are subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. Debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and that have contractual terms of the financial asset and give rise on specific dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, are measured at FVTOCI. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent reporting periods. In addition, under HKFRS 9, entities may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognised in profit or loss.
-
With regard to the measurement of financial liabilities designed as at fair value through profit or loss, HKFRS 9 requires that amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value of financial liabilities attributable to changes in the financial liabilities’ credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Under HKAS 39, the entire amount of the change in fair value of the financial liability designated as fair value through profit or loss was presented in profit or loss.
-
In relation to the impairment of financial assets, HKFRS 9 requires an expected credit loss model, as opposed to an incurred credit loss model under HKAS 39. The expected credit loss model requires an entity to account for expected credit losses and changes in credit risk since initial recognition. In other words, it is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised.
-
The new general hedge accounting requirements retain the three types of hedge accounting. However, greater flexibility has been introduced to the types or transactions eligible for hedge accounting, specifically broadening the types of instruments that qualify for hedging instruments and the types of risk components of non-financial items that are eligible for hedge accounting. In addition, the effectiveness test has been overhauled and replaced with the principle of an ‘economic relationship’. Retrospective assessment of hedge effectiveness is also no longer required. Enhanced disclosure requirements about an entity’s risk management activities have also been introduced.
The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of HKFRS 9 in the future may have significant impacts on amounts reported in respect of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities. Regarding the Group’s financial assets and liabilities, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of that effect until a detailed review has been completed.

HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In July 2014, HKFRS 15 was issued which establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. HKFRS 15 will supersede the current revenue recognition guidance including HKAS 18 “Revenue”, HKAS 11 “Construction Contracts” and the related Interpretations when it becomes effective.
The core principle of HKFRS 15 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, HKFRS 15 introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:
-
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
-
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
-
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
-
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
-
Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
Under HKFRS 15, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when ‘control’ of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. Far more prescriptive guidance has been added in HKFRS 15 to deal with specific scenarios. Furthermore, extensive disclosures are required by HKFRS 15.
The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of HKFRS 15 in the future may have material impact on the amounts reported and disclosures made in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect of HKFRS 15 until the Group performs a detailed review.
The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of other new and revised HKFRSs in issue but not yet effective will have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group has adopted HKFRS 8 “Operating Segments” which requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker for the purpose of allocating resources to segments and assessing their performance.
During the current year, the Group commenced its money lending business in Hong Kong which formed a separate operating division of the Group. Therefore, the Group is currently organised into four operating divisions – systems development, professional services, proprietary trading and money lending which represent the Group’s four operating segments. During the year ended 31 March 2015, the Group has three operating divisions – systems development, professional services and proprietary trading which represent the Group’s three operating segments.
| Systems development | – | Provision of systems development, maintenance and installation as well as |
|---|---|---|
| consulting service and software licensing. | ||
| Professional services | – | Provision of information technology engineering and technical support services. |
| Proprietary trading | – | Trading of listed securities in Hong Kong. |
| Money lending | – | Provision of financing services in Hong Kong. |

EXTRACT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
The following is an extract from the independent auditor’s report on the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2016.
BASIS FOR QUALIFIED OPINION
Comparative figures
The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2015 contained qualified opinion in respect of the opening balances and comparative figures (“Comparative Figures”), details of which has been set out in the auditor’s report dated 13 July 2015.
As the auditor’s report on the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2015 formed the comparative figures in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2016, any adjustments found to be necessary in the Comparative Figures would have a significant effect to consolidated financial position as at 1 April 2014, consolidated results for year ended 31 March 2015 and cash flows for the year ended 31 March 2015 and the related disclosures, accordingly, our opinion on the Comparative Figures is therefore modified.
Qualified Opinion
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the above section of Basis for Qualified Opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2016, and of the Group’s financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and have been properly prepared in compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
During the year ended 31 March 2016, the Group recorded a revenue from continuing operations of approximately HK$63.3 million (2015: HK$73.2 million) representing a decrease of approximately 14% as compared to that of the corresponding year in 2015. The overall decrease in revenue was due to the absence of sale of goods in current year. Administrative expenses from continuing operations increased to approximately HK$23.4 million as compared to approximately HK$11.6 million of the previous corresponding year, representing an increase of approximately 102%. The increase in administrative expenses was primarily due to share based payment expenses for the grant of share options, legal and professional fee paid relating to the resumption of trading of the Company’s shares and increase in staff salaries and rental expenses. Loss attributable to the owners from continuing operations was approximately HK$19.7 million for the year ended 31 March 2016 (2015: loss of approximately HK$0.5 million).
28
BUSINESS PERFORMANCE AND PROSPECT
Revenue from continuing operations for the year ended 31 March 2016 amounted to approximately HK$63.3 million representing a decrease of approximately 14% as compared to the corresponding year in 2015 due to the absence of sale of goods in current year.
System development and professional services
The Company was facing the fierce competition of thermal powered electricity supply market in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) in 2016 and management expects this phenomenon will continue in the foreseeable future. This was explained by the PRC government promoting the use of renewable and/ or clean energy with direct subsidies and has implemented the benchmark for reduction of omission of carbon dioxide in various cities in the PRC. As a result, the number and amount of new contracts have decreased. However, system development in thermal powered electricity supply industry recorded an increase in revenue compared with the corresponding year in 2015 due to the fact that a number of old projects were completed during the current year. Professional services recorded a decrease in revenue compared with the corresponding year in 2015 due to decrease in demand from existing customers. Gross profit from system development and professional services decreased due to the Company needed to maintain the competitiveness in the market and to maintain the market share.
The Company’s system development business mainly provides installation, maintenance, consulting and software licensing services for the products sold to power plants. The Company currently provides four key products: i) thermal power simulation system, ii) supervisory information system, iii) management information system and iv) information integration platform.

Proprietary trading business
In relation to the Group’s proprietary trading business, we have seen big swings on PRC and Hong Kong stock markets due to the Chinese stock market crash. An economic slowdown in PRC are contributing to uncertainty and a higher risk of global economic recovery. This led to the Group suffering losses on change in fair value of its financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Looking forward, the current valuation of Hong Kong stock market is relatively low compared to other major stock markets such as U.S. and PRC. The possibility of implementation of “Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect” and inclusion of A-shares into MSCI’s indices will both attract capital inflow into the market and a market re-valuation is likely happened. The Group is actively seeking opportunities in securities investment which would create value and be beneficial to the Group and shareholders as well. The Group also maintains a risk management policy in which key risk factors such as government and politic risk, country risk, price risk, interest rate risk, currency risk and economic risk have been identified and closely monitored.
Money lending business
Though the loan and credit market became very active and intense competition existed during the past few years as a result of the rapid booming housing market in Hong Kong and the global low interest rate environment, the Board is confident that through its long established relationship, history, reputation, network and synergy, the Group is able to participate in the market share of the money lending business and it will become one of the driver of its future profits of the Group. In view of the above, the Board will invest more resources into the business once financing resources have been obtained. In addition to the consumable loan, the Company is planning to offer a variety of loan products to secured mortgage loans to individual, unsecured loan, small and medium sized enterprises loans, debts consolidation loan and corporate loans. Despite the above, the money lending business is suffering from political risk, regulatory risk, credit risk, economic risk and industry risk.

LITIGATION
On 4 April 2014, the Company was served with a sealed copy of a petition (the “ Petition ”) issued by Metal Winner Limited (“ MWL ”) in Companies (Winding-up) Proceedings No. 83 of 2014 in the High Court of Hong Kong (the “ Winding-up Proceedings ”) under which MWL (a) claimed that the Company was indebted to MWL in the sum of HK$5,700,000; and (b) petitioned that the Company be wound up by the Court. As at the date of this announcement, this Petition was dismissed by the High Court of Hong Kong. Separately, there are two other parties who claimed the Company was indebted to them. After investigation, the Company found that the alleged debts claimed by these two parties arose from certain dealings between a former director of the Company and these two parties. The nature and mechanism of these dealings were the same or very similar to that of MWL’s. In the Winding-up Proceedings, the court has found that there was an illegal scheme perpetrated on the Company by the aforesaid former director and MWL was a party to that scheme. In gist, the illegal scheme was that the aforesaid former director obtained loans from the counterparty and the Company was falsely made as a borrower to answer the repayment obligation. The Company commenced legal proceedings in the High Court (the “ Injunction Proceedings ”) against these two parties seeking an injunction to restrain them from presenting any petition for the winding-up of the Company or to apply to substitute MWL as petitioner in the Windingup Proceedings (the “ Restrained Acts ”). The two parties gave an undertaking to the court not to do the Restrained Acts until the resolution of the Injunction Proceedings.
37
After the Winding-up Proceedings were dismissed by court, the Company also managed to resolve the Injunction Proceedings by way of a consent order after the two parties were willing to give further undertaking to the court not to present any petition for the winding-up of the Company pending determination of the Writ of Summons to be issued (if any) by them against the Company for recovery of the said alleged debts and/or the determination of any counterclaims or the Writ of Summons to be issued (if any) by the Company against them for declaratory relief that the said alleged debts are void or unenforceable.
On 19 February 2016, the Company has been served with a sealed copy of the Writ of Summons (the “ Writ ”) issued by one of the two parties sued in the Injunction Proceedings (the “ Plaintiff ”). Under the statement of claim endorsed on the Writ, the Plaintiff claims against the Company for a total sum of HK$16,600,000 allegedly due on the dishonoured cheques issued by the Company and interest thereon.
In view of the Court’s favourable findings in the Winding-up Proceedings and the striking similarity between the case of the Plaintiff and that of MWL in the Winding-up Proceedings, the Company believes that it has strong merits in defending the Plaintiff’s claims and in counter-claiming such alleged debts are void and unenforceable. Therefore, the Company will vigorously contend the Plaintiff’s claims and will seek legal advice to take all appropriate steps in the legal proceedings to safeguard the Company’s interest.
The Company will keep the shareholders of the Company updated with the development of the aforesaid proceedings.
