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)

INTERIM REPORT 2011

  • For identification purpose only

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (“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 report, 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 report.

This report, for which the directors (“Directors”) of Tai Shing International (Holdings) Limited (“Company”) collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM (“GEM Listing Rules”) for the purpose of giving 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 report 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 report misleading.

9. Loss per share

The calculation of basic loss per share for the three months and six months ended 30th September 2011 were based on the loss attributable to the shareholders of approximately of HK$9,635,000 and HK$10,935,000 (2010: losses of HK$14,339,000 and HK$25,532,000) divided by the weighted average number of 2,376,439,000 shares for the three months and six months ended (2010: 1,395,749,000 shares) in issue during the period.

As the Group sustained a loss for the period, diluted loss per share is not presented as the potential shares arising from the exercise of the Company’s share options would decrease the loss for the six months ended 30th September 2011 and 2010 which is regarded as anti-dilutive.

The Company has filed a defence denying the allegation as the Company has no record of any agreement for the purchase of the Plaintiffs’ shareholdings in Epplication.Net and the Plaintiffs have not produced any documentary evidence to support their claim. The action has been dormant since end of 2008. The Directors believe that the Company has a strong defence in this action and therefore, no provision for liabilities was made.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Business Review

Benefited from the revenue contribution from Fullmark Management Limited and the improved operation of the Group’s research, development and provision of integrated management information system division, the Group’s revenue for the six months ended 30th September 2011 amounted to approximately HK$41 million representing an increase of approximately 132% over the corresponding period in 2010.

Financial Performance

Revenue for the three months ended 30th September 2011 of approximately HK$15 million is about 43% lower than that for the three months ended 30th June 2011 which is HK$26.2 million. Such decrease was mainly due to the fact that no major contract in relation to systems development was awarded to the Group in the period under review. Amortisation of intangible assets of approximately HK$7.5 million for InsureLink System of Fullmark Management Limited had been incurred during the period under review. Such amortisation has resulted in a loss to the segment results of systems development.

Even so, with the better results for the first three months ended 30th June 2011, the Group still recorded a revenue of HK$41 million (2010: HK$18 million) during the six months ended 30th September 2011 representing an increase of approximately 132% as compared to that of the corresponding period in 2010.

On the other hand, fair value on loss on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (which was included in the other expenses) decreased to approximately HK$0.1 million as compared to HK$8.8 million of the previous corresponding period, representing a decrease of approximately 99.2%.

As a result of the increase in revenue and decrease in other expenses for the six months ended 30th September 2011 as mentioned above, loss attributable to the shareholders was reduced to approximately HK$10.9 million (2010: loss of HK$25.5 million).

Liquidity and Financial Resources

As at 30th September 2011, shareholders’ funds of the Group amounted to approximately HK$332 million (2010: HK$99 million). Current assets amounted to approximately HK$170 million (2010: HK$152 million), of which approximately HK$8 million (2010: HK$14 million) were cash and cash equivalents. Current liabilities of HK$132 million (2010: HK$87 million) were mainly trade and other payables.

16

Gearing Ratio

The gearing ratio calculated on the basis of total liabilities over the total shareholders’ fund as at 30th September 2011 was 40.5 % (2010: 87%).

Foreign Currency Exposure

During the six months ended 30th September 2011, the Group experienced only immaterial exchange rate fluctuations as the functional currencies of the Group’s operations were mainly Hong Kong dollars and Renminbi. As the risk on exchange rate difference was considered to be minimal, the Group did not employ any financial instruments for hedging purposes.

Capital Structure

Save as disclosed in Note 14 of the unaudited condensed financial statements above, there has been no change in the capital structure of the Company from 1st April 2011 up to 30th September 2011.
