(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability) (Stock Code: 8103)

FIRST QUARTERLY REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30TH JUNE 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.

12. Litigation

On 19th April 2006, a High court Action No. 858 of 2006 was commenced by Chan Kar Kui, Wong Calvin Ting Chi, Chan Wai Phan, Chan Man Wan and Kwok King Chuen (the “Plaintiffs”) against the Company for specific performance of the agreement entered into between the Plaintiffs and the Company’s former Director, To Cho Kei, on behalf of the Company, in around May/June 2000 to purchase from the Plaintiffs all their shareholdings in Epplication.Net Limited (“Epplication.Net”) at a consideration of HK$6,800,000 being twice of the actual amount that the Plaintiffs expended on Epplication.Net by way of transfer or allotment of the shares of the Company of the equivalent value, or alternatively, damages with interests and costs. 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 Plaintiffs have 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 turnover contribution from the newly acquired Fullmark Management Limited and the improved operation of the Group’s research, development and provision of integrated management information system division, the Group’s turnover for the three months ended 30th June 2011 amounted to approximately HK$26 million representing an increase of approximately 333% over the corresponding period in 2010.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

During the three months ended 30th June 2011, the Group recorded a turnover of approximately HK$26 million (2010: HK$6 million) representing an increase of approximately 333% as compared to that of the corresponding period in 2010. Such increase was mainly due to (i) the contribution of approximately HK$7.2 million from the InsureLink System of the newly acquired Fullmark Management Limited and (ii) the improved operation of the Group’s research, development and provision of integrated management information system division. During the corresponding period in 2010, legal and professional fee of approximately HK$6.7 million (which was included in the administrative expenses) had been incurred for acquisition purpose. Such type of expenses is not recurrent in nature and it decreased by approximately HK$6 million during the period under review. As a result, administrative expenses decreased to approximately HK$6.3 million as compared to HK$12.1 million of the previous corresponding period, representing a decrease of approximately 48%. Due to the factors above, loss attributable to the shareholders was reduced to approximately HK$1.3 million (2010: loss of HK$11.1 million).

FUTURE PROSPECTS

It has been the Company’s long term goal to maximize shareholders’ value. In view of the intense market competition for the Group’s existing business particularly for the security and surveillance division, the Company has been exploring business opportunities to expand the Groups’ operations and enhance its earnings.

During the period under review, the Company has entered into the following agreements for acquisitions:

  1. On 20th April 2011, the Company and Gold Tycoon Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability, entered into the memorandum of broad terms in relation to the proposed acquisition of not less than 50% of the entire issued share capital of the Gold Depot Investments Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability. The Company understood that Gold Depot Investments Limited directly or indirectly owns an exploration right and a mining right of a gold mine located in Guizhou, the People’s Republic of China.

Details of the above possible acquisition are disclosed in the reports of the Company dated 20th April 2011 and 17th May 2011.

  1. On 24th June 2011, Fei Luxi (費露熙) and 鑫約福(上海)貿易有限公司 (unofficial English translation being Fullmark (Shanghai) Trading Company Limited), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a conditional share transfer agreement whereby Fei Luxi (費露熙) agreed to sell, and 鑫約福(上海)貿易有限公司 (unofficial English translation being Fullmark (Shanghai) Trading Company Limited) agreed to purchase, 51% of the registered capital of 青島博達保險經紀有限公 司 (unofficial English translation being Qingdao Boda Insurance Brokerage Company Limited), at the consideration of HK$33,000,000. The principal business of 青島博達保險經紀有限公司 is, among others, the provision of insurance brokerage service in Qingdao and its surrounding area.

Subsequently the Company has obtained a legal opinion from its legal advisers as to the PRC law confirming that all necessary documents in relation to the acquisition had been submitted to the relevant authorities for approval/recordation and that there would be no legal obstacle in obtaining such approval. As such, on 15th July 2011, to satisfy part of the consideration payable to the vendor, the Company has issued an aggregate of 49,196,909 consideration shares to the vendor.

Details of the above possible acquisition are disclosed in the reports of the Company dated 23rd May 2011, 24th June 2011 and 15th July 2011.
