On 5 October 2012, the Board announced that the Company proposed to raise not less than approximately HK$170,499,900 (before expenses) by issuing not less than 852,499,500 Rights Shares at the Subscription Price of HK$0.20 per Rights Share on the basis of one Rights Share for every two existing Shares held on the Record Date.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Underwriting Agreement. The Underwriting Agreement contains provisions granting the Underwriter the ability to terminate its obligations thereunder on the occurrence of certain events as set out under the section headed “Termination of the Underwriting Agreement” in this letter at any time prior to the Latest Time for Termination. The Rights Issue is not available to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders.

The Rights Issue is conditional on, among other things, the Whitewash Waiver being granted by the Executive and approved by the Independent Shareholders. On 19 November 2012, the Executive granted the Whitewash Waiver which was subject to, among other things, the approval of the Independent Shareholders by way of poll at the SGM. At the SGM held on 19 November 2012, the resolution in respect of the Whitewash Waiver was duly passed by the Independent Shareholders by way of poll. In compliance with the Takeovers Code, Shareholders who were involved in, or interested in, the Whitewash Waiver (including the Underwriter and parties acting in concert with it) were required to abstain and have abstained from voting in favour of the resolution approving the Whitewash Waiver at the SGM.

The purpose of this prospectus is to provide you with further information regarding details of the Rights Issue and certain information in respect of the Group.

RIGHTS ISSUE

Issue statistics

The terms of the Rights Issue are set out as follows:

Basis of the Rights Issue : one Rights Share for every two existing Shares held on the Record Date and payable in full upon application Number of Shares in : 1,704,999,000 Shares issue as at the Latest Practicable Date Number of Rights Shares : 852,499,500 Rights Shares

The number of 852,499,500 Rights Shares to be allotted pursuant to the Rights Issue represents approximately 50.00% of the Company’s existing issued share capital and approximately 33.33% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company immediately upon completion of the Rights Issue.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, save as disclosed above, the Company had no other outstanding derivatives, options, warrants, conversion rights or other similar rights which are convertible or exchangeable into Shares.

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Subscription Price

The Subscription Price is HK$0.20 per Rights Share, payable in cash in full when a Qualifying Shareholder accepts his/her/its provisional allotment under the Rights Issue or applies for excess Rights Shares or when a transferee of nil-paid Rights Shares subscribes for the Rights Shares.

The Subscription Price represents:

(i) a discount of approximately 55.56% to the closing price of HK$0.45 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Date;
(ii) a discount of approximately 53.70% to the average closing price of approximately HK$0.432 per Share for the five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date;
(iii) a discount of approximately 53.49% to the average closing price of approximately HK$0.430 per Share for the ten consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date;
(iv) a discount of approximately 45.50% to the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK$0.367 per Share based on the closing price of HK$0.45 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Date; and
(v) a discount of approximately 32.20% to the closing price of HK$0.295 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date.

The Subscription Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Underwriter with reference to the recent closing prices of the Shares, the financial conditions of the Group and current market conditions.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that discount of the Subscription Price would encourage the Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue and accordingly maintain their shareholdings in the Company and participate in the future growth of the Company.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider the Rights Issue (including the rate of commission) to be fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Status of the Rights Shares

The Rights Shares, when allotted, issued and fully-paid, will rank pari passu in all respects with the then existing Shares in issue on the date of allotment of the Rights Shares. Holders of such Rights Shares will be entitled to receive all future dividends and distributions which are declared, made or paid on or after the date of allotment and issue of the Rights Shares.

Dealings in the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms which are registered in the register of members of the Company in Hong Kong will be subject to payment of stamp duty, Stock Exchange trading fee, SFC transaction levy and any other applicable fees and charges in Hong Kong.

The Board has not received any information from any substantial shareholders of the Company of their intention to take up the Rights Shares provisionally allotted or offered to them or to be provisionally allotted or offered to them.

Application for excess Rights Shares

Qualifying Shareholders are entitled to apply, by way of excess application, for any unsold Rights Shares created by adding together fractions of nil-paid Rights Shares and any nil-paid Rights Shares provisionally allotted but not accepted.

Applications for excess Rights Shares may be made by completing the Excess Application Forms and lodging the same with a separate remittance for the excess Rights Shares being applied for. The Directors will allocate the excess Rights Shares being applied for at their discretion on a fair and equitable basis.

Fractional entitlements

Fractional entitlements for the nil-paid Rights Shares will not be issued but will be aggregated and sold, if a premium (net of expenses) can be obtained, for the benefit of the Company. Any unsold aggregate of fractions of nil-paid Rights Shares will be made available for Excess Application under the Excess Application Forms.

Share certificates and refund cheques for the Rights Shares

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions of the Rights Issue, share certificates for all fully-paid Rights Shares and refund cheques in respect of wholly or partially unsuccessful applications for excess Rights Shares (if any) are expected to be posted by ordinary mail to the Qualifying Shareholders and unsuccessful applicants who have validly accepted and applied for (where appropriate), and paid for, the Rights Shares on Friday, 4 January 2013 at their own risk. Each Shareholder will receive one share certificate for all allotted Rights Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Qualifying Shareholders

The Rights Issue is only available to the Qualifying Shareholders. The Company will send the Rights Issue Documents to the Qualifying Shareholders.

To qualify for the Rights Issue, the Shareholders must be registered as members of the Company at the close of business on the Record Date and not be a Non-Qualifying Shareholder.

The Rights Issue Documents have not been registered or filed under the applicable securities laws or equivalent legislation of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong, Bermuda and Taiwan. The Rights Issue Documents have been filed with the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda in accordance with the Companies Act.

As at the Record Date, none of Shareholders as shown in the register of members of the Company had address(es) which is/are outside Hong Kong. Accordingly, there is no Non-Qualifying Shareholder for the purposes of the Rights Issue.

Possible adjustments to the outstanding Share Options

Pursuant to the Share Option Schemes, in the event of an alteration in the capital structure of the Company while any Share Option becomes or remains exercisable, whether by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves, rights issue, consolidation, subdivision or reduction of a share capital of the Company (other than an issue of Shares as consideration in respect of a transaction to which the Company is a party), the Board may make adjustments to the Share Options. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 81,040,000 Share Options. As a result of the Rights Issue, the exercise price and the number of the Shares to be issued pursuant to the outstanding Share Options may be adjusted upon completion of the Rights Issue in accordance with the respective terms and conditions of the Share Option Schemes and the Listing Rules or guidelines issued by the Stock Exchange from time to time. The Board will instruct its auditors to certify the adjustment (if any) to the outstanding Share Options and will accordingly inform the holders of the outstanding Share Options of the adjustment. Further announcement on the details of such adjustment (if any) will be made as and when necessary.

Application for listing of the Rights Shares on the Stock Exchange

The Company has applied to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares in both nil-paid and fully-paid forms.

Nil-paid Rights Shares are expected to be traded in board lots of 2,000 (same as the current board lot size of the Shares as traded on the Stock Exchange). Dealings in nil-paid and fully-paid Rights Shares will be subject to the payment of stamp duty, Stock Exchange trading fee, SFC transaction levy and other applicable fees and charges in Hong Kong.

Information of the Group

The Group is principally engaged in the development and manufacturing of (1) mobile handsets, (2) wireless communications modules; and (3) display modules. The Group manufactures ODM mobile handsets for branded handset providers and develops wireless communications modules for industrial applications.

Since 2011, the Group has encountered difficulties in its businesses and suffered a significant deterioration in financial performance. Based on the unaudited results of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2012 as set out in the Company’s interim report, the Group recorded a loss attributable to Shareholders of approximately HK$58.3 million, as compared to a loss attributable to Shareholders of approximately HK$18.7 million in the corresponding period in 2011. In the Group’s mobile handset business, the Group recorded a significant loss of approximately HK$79.6 million (before taxation) in the first half of 2012, as compared to a loss of approximately HK$18.8 million (before taxation) in the corresponding period in 2011. As set out in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2011, the Group recorded an audited loss attributable to Shareholders of approximately HK$25.5 million, as compared to an audited profit attributable to Shareholders of approximately HK$233.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2010.

The Directors attribute the deterioration to the increasingly competitive international mobile handset industry, where handset sales are increasingly concentrated in the globally dominant brands. The increasing dominance has resulted in other branded handset providers facing difficulties in their operations as the market demand for handsets has been adversely affected by the sluggish global economy. The Group suffered as a supplier to these branded handset providers which have responded to the competition with product price reduction, delay or termination of development of new products, tightening of credit terms, and a general reduction in volume.

Given the prevailing competitive landscape, the Directors believe the handset business will take time to recover. The business strategy of the Group as regards the handset business is to continue its ongoing efforts in the research and development of mid-range to high-end handsets, including 4G LTE smart phones. The Group aims to meet the increasingly strict quality specifications and price and payment terms requirements of key customers and operators. The Group also puts emphasis on maintaining a healthy financial position to

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

survive in the competitive environment. With strong competitive edge in the wireless communications modules business and the display modules business, the Directors are confident of achieving growth in the medium to long term.

Use of Proceeds

The Rights Issue is intended to raise funds of approximately HK$170 million (before expenses). The net proceeds from the Rights Issue after deducting expenses are estimated to be approximately HK$165 million. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Rights Issue for the following purposes:

(i) as to approximately HK$143 million for additional funding of the working capital requirements resulting from the extension of the credit terms offered to two major customers; and
(ii) as to approximately HK$22 million for the capital expenditure for the WM Business Plan.

Reasons for the Rights Issue

The reasons for the Rights Issue are as follows:

(i) Extension of the credit terms of two major customers

In the past, because of prudent risk management, the Group mainly focused on small or medium-sized customers with limited credit terms. As a result, the Group did not require substantial working capital to support its daily operations.

With stiff competition in the global handset industry, small and medium-sized handset providers have suffered and consolidated to form larger groups. Coupled with the uncertainties associated with the global business environment, the Group has increased its focus to serve certain key players in the market. In its handset business, the Group has collaborated with two major customers, accounting for approximately 57.3% and 45.1% of sales generated from the handset segment and total sales of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2012, respectively. Under such increasingly difficult business environment, the Group has agreed to provide these two major customers with longer credit periods with a view that the Group is able to secure stable sales from them. Such lengthening of the credit periods increases the anticipated working capital requirement of the Group, therefore giving rise to a need for the Group to strengthen its financial position.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(ii) The WM Business Plan

In view of the diverse application for the wireless module business, the Company plans to develop the WM Business Plan in order to benefit from this growing business opportunity.

In the short run, the implementation of the WM Business Plan may involve the establishment of sales channels, project developments for such specific industries as utilities, medical, warehouse and retailing as well as product developments including importation to Android operating system and expansion of the spectrum of industrial usages.

The Directors consider additional bank borrowings for the above capital requirements will increase the Group’s overall gearing ratio and burden the Group with increased interest expenses, thereby exposing the Group to greater financial risk. As such, the Directors are of the view that the Rights Issue is in the interest of the Group as the increase in the capital base of the Group would strengthen the financial position of the Group in the face of a challenging operating environment in the global mobile handset industry.

The Board considers that the Rights Issue will give the Qualifying Shareholders the opportunity to maintain their respective pro-rata shareholding interests in the Company and to continue to participate in the future developments of the Group. Accordingly, the Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors, are of the view that fund raising through the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Fund-raising exercise of the Company during the past twelve months

The Company did not carry out any rights issue, open offer or other issue of equity securities for fund raising purpose or otherwise within the past 12 months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

APPLICATION FOR EXCESS RIGHTS SHARES

Applications for excess Rights Shares may be made by completing the Excess Application Forms and lodging the same with a separate remittance for the excess Rights Shares being applied for.

The Board will allocate the excess Rights Shares being applied for at their discretion on a fair and equitable basis and on the following principles:

(1) subject to the availability of excess Rights Shares, preference will be given to applications for less than a board-lot of Rights Shares where they appear to the Directors that such applications are made to top up odd-lot holdings to board-lot holdings (unless the total number of excess Rights Shares is not sufficient to top up all odd-lots into whole board-lots) and that such applications are not made with the intention to abuse such mechanism [(Note)] ; and
(2) subject to availability of excess Rights Shares after allocation under principle (1) above, the excess Rights Shares will be allocated to the Qualifying Shareholders who have applied for excess Rights Shares on pro-rata basis with reference to their number of excess Rights Shares applied for, and with board-lot allocations to be made on a best effort basis. No reference will be made to the Rights Shares comprised in applications by Provisional Allotment Letters or the existing number of Shares held by the Qualifying Shareholders.
Note: In the event that it appears to the Board that applications are made to abuse such mechanism, such applications will be disregarded.

Shareholders with their Shares held by a nominee company (or which are held with CCASS) should note that the Board will regard the nominee company (including HKSCC Nominees Limited) as a single Shareholder according to the register of members of the Company. Accordingly, Shareholders should note that the above arrangement in relation to the allocation of the excess Rights Shares will not be extended to beneficial owners individually.

Notes:

(a) As stipulated by the relevant laws and regulations of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), before distribution of the net profit each year, the subsidiaries established in the PRC shall set aside 10% of their net profit after taxation for the statutory surplus reserve fund (except where the reserve has reached 50% of the subsidiaries’ registered capital). The reserve fund can only be used, upon approval by the board of directors of the relevant subsidiaries and by the relevant authority, to offset accumulated losses or increase capital.
(b) Other reserve is arisen from the reorganisation in preparation for the listing of the Company’s shares on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
(c) On 4 November 2010, the Group signed a sale and purchase agreement with a related company, which is controlled by Mr Wong Sun, the son of Mr Wong Cho Tung and Ms Yeung Man Ying who are directors of the Company, on disposing 40% equity interest of Shenyang SIM Real Estate Limited at a consideration of US$8,000,000 (approximately HK$62,400,000).

IFRS 9 Financial instruments

IFRS 9 “Financial instruments” (as issued in 2009) introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. IFRS 9 “Financial instruments” (as revised in 2010) adds requirements for financial liabilities and for derecognition.

Under IFRS 9, all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement” are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent accounting periods. In addition, under IFRS 9, entities may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognised in profit or loss.

In relation to financial liabilities, the significant change relates to financial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Specifically, under IFRS 9, for financial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss, the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the presentation of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability’s credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Previously, under IAS 39, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the financial liability designated as at fair value through profit or loss was presented in profit or loss.

IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015, with earlier application permitted.

The directors anticipate that IFRS 9 that will be adopted in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for financial year ending 31 December 2015 and that the application of IFRS 9 will mainly affect the classification and measurement of the Group’s available-for-sale investments.

New and revised standards on consolidation and disclosures

IFRS 10 replaces the parts of IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” that deal with consolidated financial statements. IFRS 10 includes a new definition of control that contains three elements: (a) power over an investee, (b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and (c) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. Extensive guidance has been added in IFRS 10 to deal with complex scenarios.

IFRS 12 is a disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12 are more extensive than those in the current standards.

– 38 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

IFRS 10 and IFRS 12 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Earlier application is permitted provided that all of IFRS 10 and IFRS 12 are applied early at the same time. The directors anticipate that IFRS 10 and IFRS 12 will be adopted in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning 1 January 2013. The application of IFRS 10 and IFRS 12 may not impact on amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 13 Fair value measurement

IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. The Standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The scope of IFRS 13 is broad; it applies to both financial instrument items and non-financial instrument items for which other IFRSs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except in specified circumstances. In general, the disclosure requirements in IFRS 13 are more extensive than those in the current standards. For example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only under IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures” will be extended by IFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.

IFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, with earlier application permitted. The directors anticipate that IFRS 13 will be adopted in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning 1 January 2013 and that the application of the new Standard may affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and result in more extensive disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of items of other comprehensive income

The amendments to IAS 1 retain the option to present profit or loss and other comprehensive income in either a single statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. However, the amendments to IAS 1 require additional disclosures to be made in the other comprehensive income section such that items of 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 to IAS 1 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012. The presentation of items of other comprehensive income will be modified accordingly when the amendments are applied in the future accounting periods.

Amendments to IAS 12 Deferred tax – Recovery of underlying assets

The amendments to IAS 12 provide an exception to the general principles in IAS 12 that the measurement of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities should reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the entity expects to recover the carrying amount of an asset. Specifically, under the amendments, investment properties that are measured using the fair value model in accordance with IAS 40 “Investment Property” are presumed to be recovered through sale for the purposes of measuring deferred taxes, unless the presumption is rebutted in certain circumstances.

In the opinion of the directors of the Company, it is not practicable to provide reasonable estimate of the effect of application of IAS 12 as stated above until detailed review has been completed.

The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of the other new and revised standards, amendments or interpretations will have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for investment properties, which are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies set out below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods.

The principal accounting policies are set out below.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by other members of the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented separately from the Group’s equity therein.

Allocation of total comprehensive income to non-controlling interests

Total comprehensive income and expense of a subsidiary is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance (effective from 1 January 2010 onwards).

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in other reserve and attributed to owners of the Company.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Business combinations

Business combinations that took place prior to 1 January 2010

The acquisition of businesses is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of the acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under IFRS 3 Business Combinations are recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date.

Goodwill arising on acquisition is recognised as an asset and initially measured at cost, being the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group’s interest in the recognised amounts of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised. If, after reassessment, the Group’s interest in the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities exceeds the cost of the acquisition, the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

The non-controlling interest in the acquiree was initially measured at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any, and is presented separately in the consolidated statement of financial position.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the relevant cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. For goodwill arising on an acquisition in a reporting period, the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment before the end of that reporting period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit first, and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss in the consolidated income statement. An impairment loss for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the amount of profit or loss on disposal.

APPENDIX I

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sales related taxes.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied:

the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Sales of goods are recognised when goods are delivered and title has passed.

Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Interest income from a financial asset is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Value Added Tax (“VAT”) refund is recognised as income when the Group’s rights to receive the VAT refund has been established.

Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recorded in its functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items carried at fair value are included in profit or loss for the period.

– 42 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

For the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s entities are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (i.e. Hong Kong dollars) at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period, and their income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the year. Exchange differences arising are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading of the translation reserve (attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable and deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax base used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary difference to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of the reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

APPENDIX I

Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

The Group as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

The Group as lessee

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

Government subsidies

Government subsidies are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

Government subsidies are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, government subsidies where primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognised as deferred income in the consolidated statement of financial position and transferred to profit or loss over the useful lives of the related assets. Government subsidies that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.

Retirement benefit costs

Payments to state-managed retirement benefits schemes and the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme (“MPF Scheme”) are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation.

Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including any directly attributable expenditure, except for those transfer from property, plant and equipment and land use rights which are measured at fair value at date of transfer. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at their fair value using the fair value model. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.

– 44 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use or no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the profit or loss in the period in which the item is derecognised.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment including buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, other than construction in progress, are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment other than construction in progress less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Construction in progress includes property, plant and equipment in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Costs include professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy. Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

If an item of property, plant and equipment becomes an investment property because its use has changed as evidenced by end of owner-occupation, any difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of that item at the date of transfer is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in properties revaluation reserve. On the subsequent sale or retirement of the asset, the relevant revaluation reserve will be transferred directly to accumulated profits.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

Buildings under development for future owner-occupied purpose

When buildings are in the course of development for production or for administrative purposes, the amortisation of prepaid lease payments provided during the construction period is included as part of costs of buildings under construction. Buildings under construction are carried at cost, less any identified impairment losses. Depreciation of buildings commences when they are available for use (i.e. when they are in the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management).

Land use rights

Land use rights represent the prepaid lease payments of leasehold interests in land under operating lease arrangements and are amortised on a straight-line basis over the lease terms, except for those held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation purpose and classified as investment properties are carried at fair values.

– 45 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

If a land use right becomes an investment property because its use has changed as evidenced by end of owner-occupation, any difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of that item at the date of transfer is recognised in other comprehensive income and included in properties revaluation reserve. On the subsequent sale or retirement of the asset, the relevant revaluation reserve will be transferred directly to accumulated profits.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Intangible assets

Research and development expenditure

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development activities (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:

the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible asset is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is charged to profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.

Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible asset is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately.

– 46 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets acquired separately and with finite useful lives are carried at costs less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Amortisation for intangible assets with finite useful lives is provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured at the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in profit or loss in the period when the asset is derecognised.

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognised separately from goodwill and initially recognised their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost).

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at costs less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation for intangible assets with finite useful lives is provided on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives (see the accounting policy in respect of impairment losses on tangible and intangible assets below).

Technical know-how acquired in a business combination comprises the rights to use certain technologies for the manufacture of wireless communication module solutions and mobile handset design solutions.

Impairment losses on tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill (see the accounting policy in respect of goodwill above)

At end of the reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. In addition, intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that they may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the weighted average method.

– 47 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Properties under development for sales

Properties under development for sales are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises both the land use rights and development cost of the property. Net realisable value takes into account the price ultimately expected to be realised, less applicable selling expenses and the anticipated costs to completion.

Development cost of property comprises construction costs, borrowing costs capitalised according to the Group’s accounting policy and directly attributable cost incurred during the development period. On completion, the properties are transferred to properties held for sales.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the consolidated statement of financial position when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets

The Group’s financial assets are classified to either available-for-sale investments or loans and receivables. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. All regular way purchases or sale of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated or not classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables or held-tomaturity investment.

For available-for-sale equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, they are measured at cost less any identified impairment losses at the end of the reporting period (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).

– 48 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including trade receivables, notes and bills receivable, other receivables, pledged bank deposits and bank balances) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).

Impairment loss on financial assets

Financial assets of the Group are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of the reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been affected.

For loans and receivables, objective evidence of impairment could include:
significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or
breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interest and principal payments; or
it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation.

For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments and an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period of 90 days.

For financial assets carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised is difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Financial liabilities and equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity instruments in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognised and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities (including trade and notes payables, other payables and accruals and bank borrowings) are initially measured at fair values and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition

The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid or payable is recognised in profit or loss.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions

The fair value of services received determined by reference to the fair value of share options granted at the grant date is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase in equity (share option reserve).

At the end of the reporting period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to ultimately vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to share option reserve.

At the time when the share options are exercised, the amount previously recognised in share option reserve will be transferred to share premium. When the share options are forfeited after the vesting date or still not exercised at the expiry date, the amount previously recognised in share option reserve will be transferred to accumulated profits.

4. KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the directors of the Company are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Allowances for inventories

The management of the Group reviews an aging analysis at the end of the reporting period and makes allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventory items identified that are no longer suitable for use in production or sale. The management estimates the net realisable value for such finished goods and raw materials based primarily on the latest selling and purchase prices and current market conditions. The Group carries out an inventory review on a product-by-product basis at the end of the reporting period and makes allowance for slowing-moving inventory. If the market condition was to deteriorate, resulting in a lower net realisable value for such finished goods and raw materials, additional allowances may be required. As at 31 December 2011, the carrying amount of inventories is approximately HK$620,729,000 (2010: HK$440,013,000).

Impairment of trade receivables

In estimating whether allowance for bad and doubtful debts is required, the Group takes into consideration the ageing status and the likelihood of collection. When there is objective evidence of impairment loss, the Group takes into consideration the estimation of future cash flows. The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. As at 31 December 2011, the carrying amounts of trade receivables are approximately HK$105,512,000 (2010: HK$110,420,000). Details of trade receivables are disclosed in note 25.

– 51 –

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment being lower than its carrying amount. At the end of the reporting period, no property, plant and equipment was impaired based on the impairment assessment performed by management. It is possible that actual outcomes may be different from assumptions, having a material impact on the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment in the period when such estimate is revised. At 31 December 2011, the directors of the Company are satisfied that there is no indication that property, plant and equipment has suffered an impairment loss. As at 31 December 2011, the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment are approximately HK$684,271,000 (2010: HK$343,389,000).

Estimated impairment of goodwill and intangible assets

Determining whether goodwill and intangible assets acquired from business combination allocating to sale of handsets and solutions cash-generating units (“CGUs”) are impaired requires an estimation of the value in use. The value in use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the CGUs, a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, an impairment loss may arise. As at 31 December 2011, the carrying amounts of goodwill and intangible assets acquired from business combination allocating to sale of handsets and solutions CGU are approximately HK$28,321,000 (2010: HK$28,321,000) and HK$39,474,000 (2010: HK$43,135,000), respectively.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s major financial instruments include available-for-sale investments, trade receivables and payables, bills receivable, notes receivables and payables, other receivables and payables, accruals, pledged bank deposits, bank balances and bank borrowings. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Currency risk

Several subsidiaries of the Group have foreign currency sales and purchases, which expose the Group to foreign currency risk. Approximately 34% (2010: 36%) of the Group’s sales are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the group entity making the sale, whilst almost 26% (2010: 48%) of costs are denominated in the group entity’s functional currency.

At the end of the reporting period, the major financial assets and liabilities of the Group denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective group entities are (i) trade receivables and notes receivable; (ii) pledged bank deposits and bank balances; (iii) trade payables and (iv) bank borrowings and the amounts are disclosed in notes 25, 26, 27 and 28 respectively.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the reporting date are as follows:

	Assets	Assets	Liabilities	Liabilities
	2011	2010	2011	2010
	HK$’000	HK$’000	HK$’000	HK$’000
United States Dollars (“USD”)	260,920	204,288	796,745	932,067

The management monitors foreign exchange exposure by entering non-deliverable foreign exchange forward contracts to eliminate the currency exposures in USD denominated bank borrowings. As at 31 December 2011, there is no open position on the non-deliverable foreign exchange forward contracts. In the opinion of the directors of the Company, the fair values of these forwards are insignificant as at 31 December 2010.

Sensitivity analysis

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% (2010: 10%) increase and decrease in RMB against USD. 10% (2010: 10%) represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and foreign currency forward contracts and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 10% (2010: 10%) change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates a decrease in post-tax loss (2010: increase in post-tax profit) where RMB strengthen 10% against USD for the both years. For a 10% weakening of RMB against USD, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the post-tax loss (2010: post-tax profit) and the balances below would be negative.

APPENDIX I

	2011	2010
	HK$’000	HK$’000
Post-tax loss (2010: post-tax profit)	41,280	18,638

Note: This is mainly attributable to the exposure on outstanding USD bank balances, receivables, payables and bank borrowings of the Group at the end of the reporting period.

Credit risk

The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade receivables, other receivables, notes and bills receivables, pledged bank deposits, and bank balances.

The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in the event of the counterparties failure to perform their obligations as at 31 December 2011 and 2010 in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position.

In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

The Group’s bank balances and cash are deposited with banks in Hong Kong and the PRC and the Group has limited the exposure to any single financial institution. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with good credit-rating.

The Group has concentration of credit risks with exposure limited to certain customers. As at 31 December 2011, two (2010: three) customers amounted HK$81,130,000 (2010: HK$68,182,000) comprised approximately 77% (2010: 62%) of the Group’s trade receivables. These customers are within the same mobile phone technology industry in the PRC. The management closely monitors the subsequent settlement of the customers and does not grant long credit period to the counterparties. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

Liquidity risk

In the management of the liquidity risk, the Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The management monitors the utilisation of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.

As at 31 December 2011, the carrying amount of bank borrowings amounted to HK$511,472,000 (2010: HK$640,335,000). All such bank borrowings included a repayment on demand clause exercisable at any time by the relevant banks. In accordance with the scheduled repayment dates set out in the loan agreements, the aggregate principal and interest cash outflows amounted to HK$513,720,000 (2010: HK$644,512,000) repayable within 3 months. However, shall the relevant banks exercise their rights to demand immediate repayment, the principal amounts of these bank borrowings amounted to HK$511,472,000 (2010: HK$640,335,000) will be repayment on demand. Taking into account the Group’s financial position, the directors of the Company do not believe that it is probable that the banks will exercise their discretionary rights to demand immediate repayment.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

The directors consider that liquidity risk is limited after considering the future cash flows of the Group in the foreseeable future, including the repayment schedule of bank borrowings as discussed above and the short-term liabilities which are required to repay within three months from the end of the reporting period. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate bank borrowings and bank balances.

The Group currently does not have a cash flow interest rate hedging policy. However, management closely monitors its exposure to future cash flow risk as a result of change on market interest rate and will consider hedging changes in market interest rates should the need arise. A 100 basis point (2010: 100 basis point) change represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

The Group’s cash flow interest rate risk is mainly concentrated on the fluctuation of London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) arising from the Group’s variable interest rate bank borrowings.

Sensitivity analysis

The management considers that the Group’s exposure to future cash flow risk on variablerate bank balances as a result of the change of market interest rate is insignificant and thus variable-rate bank balances are not included in the sensitivity analysis.

The sensitivity analysis is prepared assuming the financial instruments outstanding at the end of the reporting period were outstanding for the whole year. If the interest rate of bank borrowings had been 100 basis point (2010: 100 basis point) higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s post-tax loss for the year ended 31 December 2011 would increase/decrease by HK$3,970,000 (2010: post-tax profit decrease/increase by HK$5,597,000). This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable-rate bank borrowings.

Fair value

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities is determined in accordance with general accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis.

The directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values.

6. REVENUE

Revenue represents the amounts received and receivable for goods sold net of returns.

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Information reported to the executive directors of the Company, being the chief operating decision maker, for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on types of goods delivered.

The Group is currently organised into four reportable and operating segments-sale of handsets and solutions, sale of display modules, sale of wireless communication modules and property development. These reportable and operating segments are the basis of the internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the executive directors in order to allocate resources to segments and to assess their performance.

During the year ended 31 December 2011, property development operating activity has become substantial to the Group, therefore it is reported as a new reportable and operating segment. Figures in the segmental information for year ended 31 December 2010 have been restated for comparative purposes only.

The accounting policies of the reportable and operating segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies described in note 3. Segment result represents the profit earned or loss incurred by each segment without allocation of gain from changes in fair values of investment properties, rental income, interest income, other income, corporate expenses and finance costs. This is the measure reported to the executive directors for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment.

Inter-segment sales are charged at mutually agreed terms.

The Group’s investment properties are held under medium-term leases in the PRC. The investment properties are commercial buildings located at 633 JinZhong Road, Changning District, Shanghai, the PRC.

The fair value of the Group’s investment properties at 31 December 2011 and 2010 have been arrived at on the basis of a valuation carried out on that date by Vigers Appraisal & Consulting Limited, independent qualified professional valuers not connected with the Group. The valuation was arrived at by reference to the discounted cash flow projections based on estimates of future cash flows, supported by the terms of existing lease and reasonable and supportable assumptions that represent what knowledgeable willing parties would assume about rental income for future leases in the light of current conditions, using discount rates that reflect current market assessments of the uncertainty in the amount and timing of the cash flows.

All of the Group’s property interests held under operating leases to earn rentals or for capital appreciation purposes are measured using the fair value model and are classified and accounted for as investment properties.

As at 31 December 2011, the Group has pledged investment properties having a fair value of approximately HK$39,114,000 (2010: HK$36,303,000) to secure general banking facilities granted to the Group.

19. GOODWILL

HK$’000

COST AND CARRYING VALUES

At 1 January 2010, 31 December 2010 and 31 December 2011 28,321

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill has been allocated to the CGU of sale of handsets and solutions. The recoverable amount of the CGUs has been determined based on a value in use calculation. That calculation uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a 5-years period and discount rate of 16.83% (2010: 17.27%). The cash flows beyond the 5-years period are extrapolated having a steady 3% growth rate for both years. The growth rate is based on the relevant industry growth forecasts and average long-term growth rate for the relevant industry. A key assumption for the value in use calculation is the budgeted growth rate, which is determined based on past performance and management’s expectations for the market development. No impairment on goodwill, as well as segment assets of sale of handsets and solutions segment as disclosed in note 7, is noted. Management believes that any reasonably possible change in any of the assumption would not cause the aggregate carrying amount of the above CGUs to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the above CGUs.

No deferred tax asset has been recognised due to the unpredictability of future profit streams of those subsidiaries. Included in unused tax losses of HK$169,953,000 (2010: HK$58,484,000) that will expire by 2016 (2010: 2015). Other losses may be carried forward indefinitely.

APPENDIX I

Capital commitments

As at 31 October 2012, capital commitments of the Group in respect of properties under development for sales, which were contracted for but not provided in the condensed consolidated financial statements, amounted to approximately HK$86.7 million. The Directors plan to finance the above commitments by internally generated funds of the Group.

Save as disclosed in this section of this circular, the Group did not have other outstanding mortgages, charges, debentures or other loan capital, bank overdrafts or loans, other similar indebtedness, finance lease or hire purchase commitments, liabilities under acceptance or acceptance credits, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities.

The Directors confirmed that there has been no material change in the indebtedness and any collateral, contingent liabilities or capital commitments of the Group after 31 October 2012 and up to the Latest Practicable Date.

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

Although the operating environment of the handset industry will continue to be challenging, the scale of the handset business is not likely to be replaced in the short term. While exploring an appropriate direction for its transition, the Group continues its ongoing efforts in the research and development of mid-range to highend handsets, including 4G LTE smart phones to meet the strict quality specifications and price requirements of customers and operators. In addition, the Group will devote greater resources to develop new markets. The Group is committed to exploring new opportunities in differentiating smart phones in areas such as industrial applications and for the “Internet of things” segments in order to expand market coverage and enhance overall gross profit margin of the Group’s handset business.

Looking ahead, the handset industry and the global operating environment are fraught with challenges, and the Group’s handset business is expected to take time to recover. However, with rising growth momentum and strong competitive edge in the wireless communication module and display module segments, the management believes the Group should return to profitability once the plan for business repositioning and transition is successfully implemented. Thus, the management is confident of achieving sustained growth in the medium-to-long term.

5. WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors are of the opinion that, after taking into account the financial resources available to the Group and the estimated net proceeds from the Rights Issue, the Group will have sufficient working capital to satisfy its requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of this prospectus.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

6. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

Based on the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2012, during the six months ended 30 June 2012, the Group recorded a significant loss of approximately HK$79.6 million (before taxation) in its handset business, as compared to a loss of approximately HK$18.8 million (before taxation) in the corresponding period in 2011. In the global handset industry, save for two globally dominant brands, other handset providers have been operating at a loss or struggling with diminishing gross profit. The Group therefore suffered as a supplier to these handset providers. The aforesaid industry landscape also resulted in the Group’s unsuccessful transition to the high-end ODM market, particularly in Japan, as the two handset giants have been taking market share from the Group’s customers. Moreover, branded handset providers have adopted a low-price strategy in order to win tenders at the lowest possible prices from local operators. Such branded handset providers do not intend to make profits or even anticipate losses. Under such circumstances, the Group, as an ODM handset provider, is also not likely record a profit. However, since both the handset sales volume and turnover of this market are huge, the Group would not exit this market but would adopt the strategy of risk control and keep on exercising the minimum customer price level policy. Although the monthly production and delivery capacity of smart phones of the Group exceeded 1 million units since November 2011, the total shipping volume of smart phones reached only 2.16 million units in the first half of 2012.

The Group recorded a profit of approximately HK$9.7 million (before taxation) for the six months ended 30 June 2012 in its wireless communication module segment, as compared to a profit of approximately HK$7.3 million (before taxation) in the corresponding period in 2011. However, the sluggish global economy has dragged down the market demand beneath expectations in the first half of 2012. Moreover, the overseas customers of the Group in the wireless communication module segment have experienced strong cost pressure due to the testing economic conditions and subsequent lack of consumer confidence.

There was strong market demand for display modules, in particular for capacity touch panels (“CTP”). In addition to designing and producing liquid crystal display module (“LCM”) and CTP display module as well as hybrid LCM-CTP modules to support its ODM smart phones, the Group also expanded its display module business to external sales. However, as the production lines were still at the construction stage in the first half of 2012, the display module segment has not been able to make a profit contribution to the Group. Regarding its display module business, the Group recorded a loss of approximately HK$2.3 million (before taxation) for the six months ended 30 June 2012, as compared to a loss of approximately HK$15.0 million (before taxation) in the corresponding period in 2011.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Furthermore, during the six months ended 30 June 2012, the Group recognised an impairment on the goodwill arising from the acquisition of a subsidiary in year 2009, amounting to approximately HK$21.0 million, mainly attributable to the Group failing in achieving the previous budgeted results of sale of handsets and solutions due to unsatisfying income generated and more costs incurred.

As a result of the significant loss incurred in the handsets and solutions segment as well as the recognition of goodwill impairment as mentioned above, the Group incurred a loss attributable to the Shareholders of approximately HK$58.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2012, as compared to a loss attributable to the Shareholders of approximately HK$18.7 million in the corresponding period in 2011.

Save as disclosed in this prospectus and discussed above, the Directors confirmed that there have been no material adverse changes in the financial or trading position or outlook of the Group since 31 December 2011, the date to which the latest published audited consolidated accounts of the Group were made up to the Latest Practicable Date.
