Trillion Grand Corporate Company Limited 萬泰企業股份有限公司

(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)

(Stock Code: 8103)

INTERIM RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2017

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.

19. 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 Winding-up 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.

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.

20. ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE AND PROSPECT

System development and professional services

The Company was facing the fierce competition of thermal powered electricity supply market in the PRC in 2017 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 2016. Professional services recorded a decrease in revenue compared with the corresponding period in 2016 due to decrease in demand from data center services. In view of the change of business environment, the Company has strategically broadened our professional services in cyber security services and solutions.

Proprietary trading business

In relation to the Group’s proprietary trading business, the global market has shown a stable upward trend in 2017. Asian market including Hong Kong has attracted favorable capital inflow across the world. However, the market is still filled with a lot of uncertainties such as slow global economic growth and international political controversies. The Group record a loss in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss for the six months ended 30 September 2017. The Group will adopt a prudent approach in identifying opportunities in securities investment which will create value and will be beneficial to the Group and Shareholders. The Group also maintains a risk management policy in which key risk factors such as government and politic risks, country risks, price risks, interest rate risks, currency risks and economic risks have been identified and will be closely monitored. The turnover in proprietary trading business recorded approximately HK$106.4 million for the six months ended 30 September 2017 (2016: HK$9.7 million).

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. The interest income in money lending business recorded approximately HK$0.3 million for the six months ended 30 September 2017 (2016: HK$0.4 million). The loan portfolio amounted HK$0.5 million as at 30 September 2017 (31 March 2017: HK$10 million).

Property investment

The property located in Southern District in Hong Kong was generated HK$1.2 million rental income for the six months ended 30 September 2017 (31 March 2017: HK$ Nil). The Group believes that there will be increasing demand for office space in the area where the Property is located which is driven by the establishment of the South Island Line (East).

OTT Services

Upon completion of the acquisition of FWI Group on 28 June 2017, it is principally engaged in the business of providing multi-media related services and content in the PRC via different platforms. In view of the growing penetration and the expansion of multi-media segment, the Group is optimistic to such business segment. In addition, consumers are moving beyond traditional media, the multi-media platform is an option used by many companies to brand and market their products. As such, the multi-media platform is playing an increasingly vital role in business marketing strategy. Having considered that the FWI Group is equipped with experience in the industry with diversified clientele and being specialized in the provision of OTT services of video-on-demand in Hong Kong and Taiwan via its own digital video rental platform.

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. The Group is broadening its perspective beyond the IT sector and potentially invest into and/or perform acquisitions in other industries (including renewable energy and other “green” businesses, the financial industry, and more traditional non-IT businesses) so long as such acquisitions can bring value and are beneficial to the Company and its shareholders as a whole. It goes without saying that the Company will also continue to focus on existing businesses to bring further value to shareholders.
