Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman KY11104, Cayman Islands and its principal place of business is 7 Langshan First Road Science and Technology Park, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, the PRC.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is the same as the functional currency of the Company and its principal subsidiaries.

The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) are production and sale of antennas and radio frequency subsystems.

2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRSs”)

In the current year, the Group has applied the following new and revised HKFRSs issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).

Amendments to HKFRSs Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2009 - 2011 Cycle
Amendments to HKFRS 7 Disclosures - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Amendments to HKFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, Joint Arrangements
HKFRS 11 and HKFRS 12 and Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities: Transition Guidance
HKFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
HKFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement
Amendments to HKAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income

Except as described below, the application of the new and revised HKFRSs in the current year has had no material impact on Group’s financial performance and positions for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.

HKFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

The Group has applied HKFRS 13 for the first time in the current year. HKFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. The scope of HKFRS 13 is broad; the fair value measurement requirements of HKFRS 13 apply to both financial instrument items and non-financial instrument items for which other HKFRSs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of HKFRS 2 Share-based Payment, leasing transactions that are within the scope of HKAS 17 Leases, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value (e.g. net realisable value for the purposes of measuring inventories or value in use for impairment assessment purposes).

– 4 –

HKFRS 13 defines the fair value of an asset as the price that would be received to sell an asset (or paid to transfer a liability, in the case of determining the fair value of a liability) in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions. Fair value under HKFRS 13 is an exit price regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. Also, HKFRS 13 includes extensive disclosure requirements.

HKFRS 13 requires prospective application. In accordance with the transitional provisions of HKFRS 13, the Group has not made any new disclosures required by HKFRS 13 for the 2012 comparative period (please see note 6 for the 2013 disclosures). Other than the additional disclosures, the application of HKFRS 13 has not had any material impact on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements. (Where the application of HKFRS 13 has impacted the fair value measurements of the Group’s assets and/or liabilities, engagement teams should disclose the impact.)

Amendments to HKAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income

The Group has applied the amendments to HKAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income. Upon the adoption of the amendments to HKAS 1, the Group’s “consolidated statement of comprehensive income” is renamed as the “consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income” and the “consolidated income statement” is renamed as the “consolidated statement of profit or loss”. The amendments to HKAS 1 retain the option to present consolidated profit or loss and other comprehensive income in either a single statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. Furthermore, the amendments to HKAS 1 require additional disclosures to be made in the consolidated other comprehensive income section such that items of consolidated other comprehensive income are grouped into two categories: (a) items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss and (b) items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is required to be allocated on the same basis - the amendments do not change the option to present items of other comprehensive income either before tax or net of tax. The amendments have been applied retrospectively, and hence the presentation of items of other comprehensive income has been modified to reflect the changes. Other than the above mentioned presentation changes, the application of the amendments to HKAS 1 does not result in any impact on profit or loss, other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income.

New and revised HKFRSs issued but not yet effective

The Group has not early applied the following new and revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:

Amendments to HKFRS 10, Investment Entities[1] HKFRS 12 and HKAS 27 Amendments to HKFRS 19 Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions[2] Amendments to HKFRS 9 Mandatory Effective Date of HKFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures[3] and HKFRS 7 HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments[3] Amendments to HKAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities[1] Amendments to HKAS 36 Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets[1] Amendments to HKAS 39 Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting[1] Amendments to HKFRSs Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle[4] Amendments to HKFRSs Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle[2] HKFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts[5] HK(IFRIC)-Int 21 Levies[1]

– 5 –

  • 1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014

  • 2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014

  • 3 Available for application - the mandatory effective date will be determined when the outstanding phases of HKFRS 9 are finalised

  • 4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014, with limited exceptions

  • 5 Effective for first annual HKFRS financial statements beginning on or after 1 January 2016

The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of the new and revised HKFRSs will have no other material impacts on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

Hong Kong

The applicable tax rate of 摩比科技(香港)有限公司 MOBI Technology (Hong Kong) Limited (“MOBI HK”) is 16.5%.

Included in the allowance for doubtful debts are individually impaired trade receivables with an aggregate balance of approximately RMB6,056,000 (2012: RMB2,143,000), which have defaulted on payment. The Company considers that the recoverability of these receivables is low and therefore allowance for bad and doubtful debts has been provided. The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

The Group offers credit terms generally accepted in the antenna system, base station RF subsystem and coverage extension solution manufacturing industry to its trade customers, which range from 30 to 240 days (2012: 30 to 240 days), for a significant number of the Company’s products. For the Group’s major customers which are network operators and domestic and overseas wireless network solution providers with good reputation and repayment records, a longer credit term may be extended to them, depending on price, the size of the contract, credibility and reputation of them.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

Revenue

When compared with last year, revenue increased by approximately RMB200.47 million, or approximately 29.1%, to approximately RMB888.23 million in 2013 (2012: RMB687.76 million).

Sales of antenna system increased by approximately 21.3% to approximately RMB329.23 million (2012: RMB271.31 million), while sales of base station RF subsystem increased by approximately 74.8% to approximately RMB497.19 million (2012: RMB284.50 million). However, sales of products of coverage extension solution decreased by approximately 53.2% to approximately RMB61.81 million (2012: RMB131.96 million).

The Company believes that the global telecommunication equipment industry started to enter a new recovery cycle in 2013, especially in the PRC. In 2013, China Mobile, the largest telecommunication operator in the PRC, carried out large-scale 3G network building (namely the building of TD-SCDMA network (Phase VI)). Meanwhile, China’s 4G technology is continuously evolving and the industry chain is maturing. On 4 December 2013, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the PRC officially issued 4G licenses to top three operators in the PRC, namely China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom.

With the prosperous development of mobile internet and the leading position of China Mobile in the operator market, and with reference to the historical development status of 3G network, the Company believes that the issuance of 4G license will greatly propel the development of wireless network which may have a larger size than 3G network. The Company also believes that the Company is a leader in the 4G antenna and RF subsystem product technology in the PRC and will gain considerable benefits from the 4G network building.

In 2013, sales of 2G products as a percentage of the Company’s total revenue declined to approximately 15.2%, while the percentage of sales of 3G and LTE products increased significantly to approximately 61.1% and percentage of sales of multi-frequency multi-system products decreased to approximately 10.4%.

Antenna system

Both antenna system and RF subsystem are key components of base station equipment, but the delivery cycle of antenna system product is usually longer than that of RF subsystem because antenna system is generally installed together with the main equipment.

In 2013, the Company’s antenna products continued to maintain a leading position in the domestic market. This enabled the Company to become one of the few suppliers of high-performance 3G and 4G antenna and maintain a leading share in the TD-SCDMA (Phase VI) and 4G markets. In 2013, sales of the Company’s TD-LTE/SCDMA antenna grew significantly by approximately 757.2% as compared to last year, while sales of W-CDMA antenna grew significantly by approximately 88.9%.

– 19 –

In addition, the Company made a major breakthrough in the overseas operator market and became a qualified antenna supplier for a major mobile operator in Northern Europe, in 2013. The multinational operator market in Europe has always been the Company’s strategic market which represents higher requirements for technology and quality. Becoming a short-list supplier signifies the recognition of the Company’s antenna technology by more multinational international operator customers. Meanwhile, the Company still maintained its sales scale in Asia Pacific. In 2013, the Company’s sales in Thailand grew by approximately 183.3% to approximately RMB67.6 million as compared to last year.

Base station RF subsystem

The Company continued to maintain a leading supplier position among leading global telecommunication equipment manufacturers. Due to increased demand from global customers, revenue from the Company’s base station RF subsystem in 2013 increased by approximately 74.8% to approximately RMB497.19 million.

Driven by the TD-SCDMA (Phase VI) and 4G network building in the PRC, the Company’s revenue from sales of RF subsystem to domestic equipment manufacturers increased significantly by approximately 112.4% as compared to last year. In addition, the purchasing demand for the Company’s products from Nokia Networks and Alcatel-Lucent increased significantly by approximately 105.0% and 69.2%, respectively, to RMB84.78 million and RMB112.74 million.

In 2013, revenue from the Company’s 3G and 4G RF subsystem products increased significantly by approximately 160.0% to approximately RMB305.81 million as compared to last year.

Coverage extension solution

In 2013, revenue from the Company’s coverage extension solutions decreased by approximately 53.2% to approximately RMB61.81 million. In particular, revenue from aesthetic antennas increased by approximately 79.7% to approximately RMB42.86 million, whereas revenue from electric cables, indoor antennas and other products decreased by approximately 82.5% to approximately RMB18.95 million. The Company will decrease the sales of peripheral products such as electric cables and focus more on the R&D and sales of aesthetic antenna products, so as to increase the 4G business opportunities in the PRC.

Customers

The Company recorded a significant growth in sales to most customers in 2013, with the exception of some customers. This made the Company believe that a new growth period for the telecommunication equipment industry had emerged. The Company also noted that a change in market pattern resulted in a change in customer revenue structure and the Company’s in-depth cooperation with telecommunication equipment manufacturers and telecommunication operators allowed the Company to own distinctive competitive strengths in changing market opportunities.

– 20 –

In 2013, China Mobile’s 4G network building (namely TD-LTE network building) adopted the “turn-key” procurement method, under which the Company’s antenna products were also sold to telecommunication equipment manufacturer customers (such as ZTE) who built complete networks for delivery to China Mobile. The in-depth cooperation with leading global equipment manufacturers allowed the Company to take a first-mover position in the market. Driven by this, the Company’s sales to PRC equipment manufacturer customers increased by approximately 72.9% to approximately RMB456.17 million in 2013.

In addition, revenue from Nokia Networks and Alcatel-Lucent increased by approximately 105.0% and 69.2% to RMB84.78 million and RMB112.74 million as compared to last year. The Company believes that the leading market share the Company has maintained among leading global equipment manufacturer customers and its increasing involvement in 4G projects provide a very good channel for the Company to achieve revenue growth over the next few years.

Due to the packing services, the Company’s revenue from sales to China Mobile decreased by approximately 33.4% as compared to last year, while revenue from sales to China Telecom increased by approximately 80.3%. The Company believes that the 4G network building will provide the Company with tremendous market opportunities overall. Affected by the 4G strategy, the Company believes that the failure of China Unicom to accomplish its capital expenditure plan for wireless network in 2013 caused the Company’s revenue from China Unicom to decrease by approximately 62.9% as compared to last year.

In 2013, the Company made a major breakthrough in the overseas operator market and became a qualified antenna supplier for a major mobile operator in Northern Europe. In the next few years, an important strategic direction of the Company will be active expansion of overseas operator market in stages and enhancement of the influence of the Company’s brand name among overseas operators, which, in turn, will have enhancement and positive effects on the operations of equipment manufacturer customers.

The deployment of the Company’s products in the network systems of our diversified international customers strengthened worldwide awareness of the brand name of MOBI.

Gross profit

In 2013, gross profit of the Company regained growth momentum by growing by approximately 67.5% to approximately RMB193.86 million (2012: RMB115.71 million), and gross profit margin increased from approximately 16.8% in 2012 to approximately 21.8% in this year.

The Company noted that the evolving 4G product technology and the significantly higher technical sophistication and quality requirements of existing products than previous products had resulted in a notable decrease in qualified suppliers. This is beneficial for improving the competition environment and allows the Company to focus more on the improvement in product technology. The Company believes that as sales of 4G products as a percentage of the Company’s total revenue kept increasing, our consolidated gross profit margin will also probably continue to improve in the future.

Other income

Other income decreased to approximately RMB7.46 million, which was mainly attributable to the decrease in the government grants received by the Group.

Distribution and selling expenses

Distribution and selling expenses decreased from approximately RMB47.87 million in 2012 to approximately RMB44.89 million in 2013. Through its effort to strengthen cost management in 2013, the TD-LTE package increased the sales of equipment manufacturer customers, which led to a reduction in distribution and selling expenses.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses increased by approximately 17.1% from approximately RMB76.07 million in 2012 to approximately RMB89.06 million in 2013, which was attributable to (1) the exchange loss on translation of the Group’s assets denominated in RMB, HKD, USD and Euro due to the appreciation of RMB against HKD, USD and Euro; (2) the increase in average number of employees required for business expansion, wages and related statutory obligations; and(3)the increase in the Company’s auditing, consulting and advisory fees.

Research and development costs

During the year, the Group recognized development costs of approximately RMB10.24 million as intangible assets. After the capitalization, development costs decreased from approximately RMB47.57 million in 2012 to approximately RMB43.32 million in 2013, which was mainly attributable to the decrease in bonuses for R&D personnel and outsourced R&D expenses.

– 22 –

Finance costs

Finance costs decreased from approximately RMB1.01 million in 2012 to approximately RMB0.29 million in 2013, which was mainly attributable to the decrease in borrowings to be used in operating activities.

Profit before taxation

Profit before taxation increased significantly by approximately 154.9% and recorded a profit before taxation of approximately RMB23.76 million (2012: a loss before taxation of approximately RMB43.28 million). Net profit margin before tax charge increased from approximately -6.3% in 2012 to approximately 2.7% in 2013.

Taxation

Current income tax expenses increased from approximately RMB2.96 million in 2012 to approximately RMB4.12 million in 2013. Effective tax rates calculated from the tax charged to the profit before taxation were approximately 19.8% and 8.8% for 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Profit for the year

Profit for the year 2013 increased substantially by approximately 148.3% and recorded a profit for the year of approximately RMB19.06 million (2012: a loss of RMB39.47 million). Our net profit margin was approximately 2.1% in 2013, compared to approximately -5.7% in 2012. In summary, the increase in our net profit margin was because the global telecommunication equipment industry started to enter a new recovery cycle.

FUTURE PROSPECTS

Prospects

Looking forward, the Company will pay attention to both domestic and international markets simultaneously and will continue to focus on the area of RF technology for wireless communication, especially on base station RF technology and RF technology for other wireless communications.

The Company believes that, with the popularity of intelligent terminals, mobile internet applications have entered into a rapid development period and the LTE era has arrived. With its leading position in customer channels and product technology, the Company is in place to capture early opportunities riding on the development waves of LTE.

– 23 –

Customers

The Company adheres to the visionary target of “becoming a global leading provider of RF technology for mobile communications”, and strives to offer its RF solution to leading system equipment manufacturers and telecommunication operators around the world.

The Company is also one of the few domestic technology providers offering RF solutions to both global system equipment manufacturers and telecommunication operators, which enables the Company to maintain a leading edge in product technology and continuous expansion of customer channels.

In 2013, the Company had a leading share in the LTE market segments, especially the TD-LTE market where the Company had an absolute leading market share among some strategic customers. This is attributable to the years of cooperation and trust between the Company and major equipment manufacturers, complete product lines and prominent technical strength.

Looking into 2014, the LTE network building in the PRC may experience leaping-forward growth. Major equipment manufacturers, especially domestic manufacturers, are expected to occupy a leading market share, especially in TD-LTE networks. The Company’s strategic cooperation with equipment manufacturer customers enables the Company to continue to maintain a leading position in the TDLTE market.

In 2013, the Company made a major breakthrough in the overseas operator market and became a qualified antenna supplier for a major mobile operator in Northern Europe. The multinational operator market in Europe has always been the Company’s strategic market which represents higher requirements for technology and quality. Becoming a short-list supplier signifies the recognition of the Company’s antenna technology by more multinational international operator customers. European operators represent one of the mobile communication markets that place the largest global procurement orders with most difficult technological requirements, which is in line with the Company’s strategic direction. None of the PRC antenna suppliers has provided any products to the European operator market. As such, the Company has already gained a strong advantage, and it will strive to enter the antenna supplier lists of more multinational operators, which will also significantly boost the sales of the Company’s antenna products to turn-key projects of system equipment customers.

In 2013, the Company maintained active progress in the Asia Pacific market. The Company expects that fast growing opportunities will arise in the emerging markets like Asia Pacific and Latin America in the next few years. The Company will expand its existing advantages to achieve rapid growth in bulk sales.

– 24 –

Products

The Company believes that the technology of our LTE products, including TD-LTE and FDD-LTE, has achieved domestic industry-leading level, and is directly comparable with foreign players.

Meanwhile, for antenna products, our technology for multi-frequency multi-system antenna was also developing continuously, and consistently maintained an advanced level. The Company believes that with increasing investments in LTE network, the demand for station sites will increase further as the coverage radius of LTE base station is shorter, and the demand for multi-network stations will be more obvious in future. The Company’s LTE RET and multi-frequency multi-system technology also achieved a significant breakthrough in 2013 and delivered outstanding performance in the tests performed by customers. It is believed to perform more excellently in market completion in the future.

For RF subsystem products, apart from developing various new products for equipment customers in 2013, the Company also accelerated the development of next generation base station RF subsystem products, which were more integrated, more compact and lightweight. In addition, the Company also expanded the scope of development for outdoor RF subsystem products, such as outdoor filters for operators, and combined with antenna system products and other products to provide a one-stop towertop solutions for customers.

On coverage extension products, the Company made important progress on the integration of aesthetic antenna and multi-frequency multi-system antenna technologies. The Company also believes that new aesthetic multi-network base stations will become the main network building trend as the 4G network evolves and the Company’s product technology will help it achieve a leading position.

Conclusion

The Company is one of the few one-stop solution providers of RF technology for global network operators and network solution providers in the PRC. It has a wide range of well-known customers and diversified income sources, which contributes to the positive and stable growth of the Company.

The Company believes that the telecommunication equipment industry will hopefully enter into a new growth period as the 4G network continues to develop over the next few years. The Company and the Board will continue to optimise the size and mix of customer base, adopt competition strategies of differentiation based on technology and cost advantages, maximise the market opportunities in 3G, LTE and next generation wireless technologies. The Company will also strive to enhance its integrated competitiveness to ensure the sound and stable growth of the operating results of the Group and to create value for maximising returns to its shareholders and the society.
