(Incorporation in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)
(Stock Code: 8103)
THIRD QUARTERLY RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015
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”) collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM (the “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.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended 31 December 2014 does not include the conversion of convertible bonds as it has anti-dilutive effect.
During the three months and nine months ended 31 December 2015, and the nine months ended 31 December 2014, the conversion of all potential ordinary shares outstanding would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share. Hence, there was no dilutive effect on calculation of the diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended 31 December 2015, and the nine months ended 31 December 2014.
During the period under review, the Company has conducted two share consolidations. For details, please refer to section headed “LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE”. The weighted average number of ordinary shares have been adjusted to reflect the effect of these share consolidations

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
BUSINESS REVIEW
Revenue from continuing operations for the nine months ended 31 December 2015 amounted to approximately HK$37.8 million representing a decrease of approximately 37% as compared to the corresponding period in 2014.
The Company was facing the fierce competition of thermal powered electricity supply market in the PRC in 2015 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. Therefore, system development in thermal powered electricity supply industry recorded a decrease in revenue compared with the corresponding period in 2014. Professional services provided to data center recorded a decrease in revenue compared with the corresponding period in 2014 due to decrease in demand from existing customers.
In relation to the Group’s proprietary trading business, the stock market was very volatile during the current period due to the fiscal and debt issues of Greece and the Chinese stock market crash. This led to the Group suffering losses on change in fair value of its financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The Company believes a lot of individual and institutional investors are adopting a prudent attitude towards the capital market. However, the Company believes that the markets will stabilized from the turmoil since the PRC government has implemented several policies in order to maintain the stability of the PRC stock market and there is high chance of implementation of “Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect”. The Company maintains a risk management policy in which key risk factors such as government and politic risks, country risk, price risk, interest rate risk, currency risk and economic risk have been identified and closely monitored.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
During the nine months ended 31 December 2015, the Group recorded a revenue from continuing operations of approximately HK$37.8 million (2014: HK$59.9 million) representing a decrease of approximately 37% as compared to that of the corresponding period in 2014. Administrative expenses from continuing operations increased to approximately HK$18.0 million as compared to approximately HK$5.4 million of the previous corresponding period, representing an increase of approximately 235% as compared to that of the corresponding period in 2014. Loss attributable to the owners from continuing operations was approximately HK$12.8 million for the nine months ended 31 December 2015 (2014: loss of approximately HK$2.6 million).

FUTURE PROSPECTS
The Group will continue to look for opportunities to create shareholders’ value through making investments into and/or acquiring interests in companies or projects that have promising outlooks and prospects.
