ANNUAL RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2011
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”)
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached other than companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited and The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited take no responsibility for the contents of this announcement, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this announcement.
This announcement, for which the directors of Sing Lee Software (Group) Limited (the “Company”) (the “Directors”) collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that, to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this announcement is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this announcement misleading.

Notes:
-
(a) Under the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda (“Companies Act”), share premium is distributable to shareholders, subject to the condition that the Company cannot declare or pay a dividend, or make a distribution out of share premium and capital reserve if (i) it is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due, or (ii) the realisable value of its assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and its issued share capital account.
-
(b) As stipulated by the relevant laws and regulations for foreign investment enterprises in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are required to maintain two statutory reserves, being an enterprise expansion fund and a statutory surplus reserve fund which are non-distributable. Appropriations to such reserves are made out of net profit after taxation reported in the statutory financial statements of the PRC subsidiaries while the amounts and allocation basis are decided by their respective boards of directors annually. The statutory surplus reserve fund can be used to make up their prior year losses, if any, and can be applied in conversion into capital by means of capitalisation issue. The enterprise expansion fund is used for expanding the capital base of the PRC subsidiaries by means of capitalisation issue.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 31 December 2011
(Expressed in Renminbi)
1. GENERAL
Sing Lee Software (Group) Limited (the “Company”) is incorporated in Bermuda as an exempted company with limited liability and its shares are listed on The Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The address of its registered office and principal place of business of the Company are disclosed in the section headed “Corporate Information” in the annual report.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is the same as the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) are development and sales of software products, sales of related hardware products and provision of software-related technical support services.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Group incurred a loss of approximately RMB37,483,000 for the year ended 31 December 2011. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors of the Company have reviewed the Group’s financial and liquidity position, and taken into consideration of the following factors:
-
ongoing financial support by a shareholder with significant influence over the Company;
-
cost control measures; and
-
possible additional external funding.
The directors of the Company believe that, taking into account of the above factors, the Group will be able to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future, and accordingly, have prepared the consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.

3. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
New and revised Standards and Interpretations applied in the current year
In the current year, the Group has applied the following new and revised Standard, Amendments and Interpretation (“new and revised IFRSs”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
Amendments to IFRSs Improvements to IFRSs issued in 2010 IAS 24 (as revised in 2009) Related Party Disclosures Amendments to IAS 32 Classification of Rights Issues Amendments to IFRIC 14 Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments
The application of the new and revised IFRSs in the current year has had no material effect on the amounts reported in these consolidated financial statements and/or disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.
New and revised Standards, Amendments and Interpretation issued but not yet effective
The Group has not early applied the following new and revised IFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:
| IFRS 1 (Amendments) | Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates for First-time Adopters1 |
|---|---|
| IFRS 1 (Amendments) | Government Loans2 |
| IFRS 7 (Amendments) | Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets1 |
| IFRS 7 (Amendments) | Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities2 |
| IFRS 9 | Financial Instruments3 |
| IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 (Amendments) | Mandatory Effective Date of IFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures3 |
| IFRS 10 | Consolidated Financial Statements2 |
| IFRS 11 | Joint Arrangements2 |
| IFRS 12 | Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities2 |
| IFRS 13 | Fair Value Measurement2 |
| IAS 1 (Amendments) | Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income5 |
| IAS 12 (Amendments) | Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets4 |
| IAS 19 (Revised 2011) | Employee Benefits2 |
| IAS 27 (Revised 2011) | Separate Financial Statements2 |
| IAS 28 (Revised 2011) | Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures2 |
| IAS 32 (Amendments) | Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities6 |
| IFRIC 20 | Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine2 |
1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011
2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013
3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015
4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012
5 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012
6 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014
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.
6
Specifically, 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 relation to financial liabilities, the significant changes relates to financial liabilities designated as at fair value through 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 will be adopted in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for financial year ending 31 December 2015. The directors are in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption of IFRS9.
New and revised Standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures
In June 2011, a package of five standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures was issued, including IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IFRS 12, IAS 27 (Revised 2011) and IAS 28 (Revised 2011) are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Earlier application is permitted provided that all of these five new or revised standards are applied early at the same time. The directors of the Company anticipate that these new or revised standards will be applied in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for financial year ending 31 December 2013 and the potential impact is described below.
IFRS 10 replaces the parts of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that deal with consolidated financial statements and SIC12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. 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) 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. Based on the existing group structure, the directors anticipate that the application of these five standards may not have significant 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.
7
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 not have material impact on the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements but would result in more extensive disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of the other new and revised Standards and Interpretations will have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the IASB. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Growth Enterprise Market of 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 certain financial instruments that 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 entities controlled by the Company (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 and 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 into line with those used by other members of the Group.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.
8
Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sales related taxes.
Revenue from the sales 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.
Revenue from sales of hardware and software products is recognised when the goods are delivered and title has passed upon customers’ acceptance.
Service income for provision of software-related technical support is recognised when services are provided.
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.
5. REVENUE AND SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group’s operations are organised based on the different types of products sold and service provided. Information reported to the Board of Directors of the Company, being the chief operating decision maker, for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance is also focused on types of goods or services delivered or provided.

|---|---|---|---|---|
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies as described in note 4. Segment loss represents the loss from each segment without allocation of directors’ remuneration, finance costs, loss on initial recognition of warrant subscription rights, unallocated other income and other gains and losses. This is the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment. No segment information on assets and liabilities is presented as such information is not regularly reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purpose of resource allocation and performance assessment.

7. FINANCE COSTS
8. INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Hangzhou Singlee Technology Company Limited (“Singlee Technology”), a subsidiary of the Company, was established in Hangzhou, PRC, with applicable tax rate of 25%. In 2010, Singlee Technology is a High and New Technology Enterprise defined by Zhejiang Finance Bureau, Administrator of Local Taxation of Zhejiang Municipality and Zhejiang Municipal office of the State Administration of Taxation and therefore is entitled to 15% preferential tax rate from PRC EIT for three years starting from 2010. Accordingly, the tax rate for Singlee Technology is 15% for the years ended 31 December 2011 and 2010.
13
According to the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, the applicable tax rate of Hangzhou Singlee Software Company Limited (“Singlee Software”), Singlee Software (Zhuhai) Company Limited (“Singlee Zhuhai”), Beijing Singlee Yin Tong Information Technology Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Singlee”) (formerly known as “Beijing Century Financial Knowledge Company Limited”) and Xin Yintong Technology Co., Ltd. (“Xin YinTong”) is 25% for the years ended 31 December 2011 and 2010.
No provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax has been made as the Group had no estimated assessable profits arising from Hong Kong during the years ended 31 December 2011 and 2010.
The tax charge for the year is reconciled to the loss before tax per the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as follows:
| Loss before tax Tax charge at enterprise income tax rate at 15% (2010: 15%) (note) Tax effect of income not taxable for tax purpose Tax effect of expenses not deductible for tax purpose Effect of different tax rates of group entities Tax effect of deductible temporary difference not recognised Tax effect of tax losses not recognised Under provision in respect of prior years Tax charge for the year |
2011 RMB’000 (37,409) (5,611) (4,751) 403 (2,583) 6,242 6,374 – 74 |
2010 RMB’000 (62,821) (9,423) (2,311) 8,288 (581) 1,537 3,017 316 843 |
|---|---|---|
Note: Applicable income tax rate of 15% (2010: 15%) represents the relevant income tax rate of Singlee Technology, the subsidiary of the Company which generates majority of the Group’s assessable profit.
At the end of the reporting period, the Group has unused tax losses of approximately RMB66,669,000 (2010: RMB24,176,000), available for offset against future profits and deductible temporary differences of approximately RMB18,363,000 (2010: RMB16,714,000) in relation to the impairment loss on intangible assets, inventories written off and trade receivables written off. The unused tax losses of approximately RMB24,176,000 would be expired in 2015 and approximately RMB42,493,000 would be expired in 2016. No deferred tax asset has been recognised in relation to the unused tax losses and the deductible temporary difference as it is not probable that taxable profits will be available against which the unused tax losses and the deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

9. LOSS FOR THE YEAR
Loss for the year has been arrived at after charging and crediting the following items:
| Salaries, wages and other staff benefits Retirement benefits scheme contribution Equity-settled share-based payment expenses Total staff costs (Note a) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment Amortisation of intangible assets (included in cost of sales) Auditor’s remuneration Fair value on investment held for trading Operating lease rentals in respect of rented premises Allowance on trade receivables Reversal of impairment recognised on trade receivables (Reversal of) impairment loss recognised on inventories (included in cost of sales) (Note b) Cost of inventories recognised as an expense Interest income Government grants – subsidy related to products – value-added tax refunds |
2011 RMB’000 17,702 1,073 25,694 44,469 635 – 444 4,869 3,258 1,649 (1,797) (1,577) 3,953 (90) (300) (8) |

-
b. During the year ended 31 December 2011, the Group has sold out the inventories which impairment loss had been recognised in 2010. As a result, a reversal of write-down of inventories of approximatley RMB1,577,000 has been recognised and included in cost of sales in the current year.

10. LOSS PER SHARE
The calculation of the basic and diluted loss per share attributable to the owners of the Company is based on the following data:
| Loss Loss for the purpose of basic loss per share (loss for the year attributable to owners of the Company) Effect of dilutive warrant subscription rights: – Fair value gain on warrant subscription rights Loss for the purpose of diluted loss per share Number of shares Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of basic loss per share Effect of dilutive potential ordinary shares – warrant subscription rights Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of diluted loss per share |
2011 RMB’000 (37,483) – (37,483) 2011 ’000 811,840 – 811,840 |
2010 RMB’000 (63,664) (15,325) (78,989) 2010 ’000 756,482 3,529 760,011 |
|---|---|---|

BUSINESS REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
“Mobile Payment” Business of Mobile E-Payment
During the year, the Group together with eight branches of China UnionPay including the Shanghai Branch, Shandong Branch and Tianjin Branch and the Yunnan Branch of China Telecom(中國電信) entered into a strategic cooperation agreement, whereby their cooperation will span over a period ranging from three years to five years. The number of users is about 145,000, whereas the transaction volume to about RMB1.6 billion. During the year, the Group adhered to a strategic direction to seamlessly integrate the online and offline operations of RUNPOS second and third generation “mobile payment”. Focused efforts were made on the expansion of the number of real-name system users of two business lines, namely, the “Bank-School Express”(銀校通)and the “Bank-Hospital Express”(銀醫通)service platforms. Major breakthrough was achieved in the expansion of the existing user base of mobile payment services:
1. Existing user base of “Bank-School Express”
Currently, the Company’s “Bank-School Express” payment services are used by 55 out of 68 high schools in Zhejiang, aggregately amounting to 600,000 users. The Company’s “Bank-School Express” payment services are used by three institutions in Guangdong Province, aggregately amounting to 100,000 users. The Company’s “Bank-School Express” payment services are also used by 30 primary and secondary schools, aggregately amounting to 83,000 users. The amount of fee payments processed on an annual basis is over RMB5 billion, equivalent to payments per capita of about RMB6,400 per year. The fee payments are related to tuition fees, credit point tuition fees, escrow fees, accommodation charges, meals fees and book costs.
2. Existing user base of “Bank-Hospital Express”
The Group has formed a partnership with ICBC, which is the bank with the biggest size around the world and the bank with the largest volume of IC card issuance across the country. The Group has made three examples of success in the introduction of this innovative product line throughout the country. The number of users grew by more than 300,000 on a quarterly basis. The number of users is expected to exceed 500,000 following the roll out of all of the projects.
The number of offline real-name system users of the “Bank-School Express” and the “BankHospital Express” have been expanded to about 1.3 million. By swiftly switching the existing base of users to online users in the next one to two years, the Group will lay an important foundation from which its mobile payment and cell phone payment can rapidly grow in the education industry and the medical industry in the future and secure a leading market position therein.

FUTURE OUTLOOK
Upon serious discussions and analyses, the Group considers that mobile payment business is not going to carve out a predominant niche in the international and domestic market in the short term. Taking advantage of the unique edges of Sing Lee Group, in particular, the Group’s experience and breadth of vision in China’s finance payment over the two decades, we will strive for industry innovation and industry leadership in each market segment in a pragmatic manner. Moreover, given the launches of noncard payment channels and the remarkable fall in card payments, there will be greater space for a gradual decline in the Group’s overall costs. However, in light of the continued rise in costs for a number of areas including human resources, research and development of innovative technology and marketing efforts, the Group incurred loss during the year. The Group believes that all these efforts will be strategically crucial to the promotion of the long-term development and the strengthening of the core competitiveness of the Group. The Group’s management at all levels will carefully evaluate all different-sized projects and will reinforce risk exposure control, thereby ensuring the effectiveness and success of each project.

Loss of the financial year was approximately RMB37,483,000 compared with loss of approximately RMB63,664,000 for the year ended 31 December 2010. The effect on the results of the Group for the financial year is mainly attributable to the loss on initial recognition of warrant subscription rights recorded only for the year ended 31 December 2010 amounting approximately RMB43,132,000, the increase in the fair value gain on derivative financial liability from approximately RMB15,325,000 for the year ended 31 December 2010 to approximately RMB27,763,000 for the year ended 31 December 2011 and the share-based payment expenses increased from approximately RMB3,175,000 for the year ended 31 December 2010 to approximately RMB25,694,000 for the year ended 31 December 2011.
