Tai Shing International (Holdings) Limited 泰盛國際(控股)有限公司[*]
(Incorporation in the cayman islands with limited liability)
(Stock Code: 8103)
FIRST QUARTERLY ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30TH JUNE 2012
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 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 (“ 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 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.

10. LOSS PER SHARE
The calculation of basic loss per share for the three months ended 30th June 2012 were based on the loss attributable to the shareholders of approximately of HK$1,528,000 (2011: loss of HK$1,300,000) divided by the weighted average number of 316,938,000 shares for the three months ended (2011: 238,875,000 shares) in issue during the period.

12. LITIGATION
-
(a) On 12th March 2012, a High court Action No.1861 of 2011 was commenced by Joint China Value Investment Fund Limited against the Company for a dishonoured cheque in the amount of HK$16,500,000 issued by the Company. The Company has contested the case vigorously. Having sought legal advices, the Directors believe that the Company has a strong defence against the allegation and the legal action would not result in a material loss to the Group, accordingly no provision for liabilities in this respect has been made in the consolidated financial statements.
-
(b) 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 the end of 2008. The Directors believe that the Company has a strong defence in this action and therefore, no provision for liabilities has been made on the consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
BUSINESS REVIEW
Revenue for the three months ended 30th June 2012 amounted to approximately HK$15.9 million representing a decrease of approximately 39% as compared to the corresponding period in 2011. Notwithstanding the increase in revenue from professional services fees from less than HK$0.1 million to approximately HK$0.42 million due to our continuous work on a large project awarded in 2011 and the revenue of software licensing of approximately HK$6.1 million (2011: nil) due to the soft-launch of the Chinese version of the InsureLink System in April 2012, the Group still recorded a decrease in revenue due to the decrease in revenue from system developments from approximately HK$26.1 million to approximately HK$9.4 million resulted from the declining demand caused by recent global economic downturn.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
During the three months ended 30th June 2012, the Group recorded a revenue of HK$15.9 million (2011: HK$26 million) representing a decrease of approximately 39% as compared to that of the corresponding period in 2011. Administrative expenses increased to approximately HK$9.3 million as compared to approximately HK$6.3 million of the previous corresponding period, representing an increase of approximately 48% mainly because of the net result of (i) the increase in amortization on intangible asset of HK$4.9 million for (a) InsureLink System of Fullmark Management Limited, (b) technical knowhow of Joint Bridge Investments Limited and (c) the license of 上海景福保險經紀有限公司 (formerly know as “青島博達保險經紀有限公司”; (ii) the decrease in marketing and promotion expenses of HK$1 million resulted from the reducing activities on the promotion of InsureLink System; and (iii) the decrease in HK$0.5 million for legal and professional fee in relation to acquisition activities. Loss attributable to the shareholders was approximately HK$1.5 million (2011: loss HK$1.3 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
- (i) on 3rd April 2012, the Company issued 57,380,000 unlisted warrants at the issue price of HK$0.02 per warrant. The holders of the warrants are entitled to subscribe at the subscription price of HK$0.19 per share (subject to adjustment) for up to HK$10,902,200 in aggregate for new shares of the Company of HK$0.05 each (i.e. up to 57,380,000 new shares). Net proceeds of approximately HK$0.75 million were received as a result and, as disclosed in the Company’s circular dated 8 February 2012, such proceeds were/are to be used as general working capital of the Group; and
8
- (ii) on 3rd May 2012, the Company issued a convertible note to Mr. Wong Kwong Chau in the principal amount of HK$15,000,000, which entitles Mr. Wong (or the holder(s) of the convertible note) to exercise the rights to convert the outstanding principal amount into the shares of the Company of HK$0.05 each at the conversion price of HK$0.25 per share (subject to adjustment) Net proceeds of approximately HK$14.7 million were received as a result and, as disclosed in the Company’s announcement 19 April 2012, such proceeds were/are to be used as general working capital of the Group.
