ANNUAL RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012

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 high investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited and The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited take no responsibility for the contents of this announcement, makes 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 2012

(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. Its immediate holding company is Goldcorp Industrial Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.

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 RMB11,334,000 for the year ended 31 December 2012. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors of the Company have reviewed the Group’s financial and liquidity position, and taken into consideration 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 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.

5

3. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Amendments to Standards applied in the current year

In the current year, the Group has applied the following amendments to Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

Amendments to IAS 12 Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets; and Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets

The application of the amendments to Standards 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:

Amendments to IFRSs Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2009-2011 Cycle1
Amendments to IFRS 1 Government Loans1
Amendments to IFRS 7 Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabities1
Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 Mandatory Effective Date of IFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures3
Amendments to IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, Joint Arrangements and Disclosure of
IFRS 11 and HKFRS 12 Interests in Other Entities: Transition Guidance1
Amendments to IFRS 10, Investment Entities2
IFRS 12 and IAS 27
IFRS 9 Financial Statements3
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements1

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income4
Amendments to IAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities2

1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013.

2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.

3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012.

6

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.

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 IFRS 9.

New and revised Standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures

In 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. 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.

7

IFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, with earlier application permitted.

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, amendments 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.

Income and expenses 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 executive 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, 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.

8. INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Hangzhou Singlee Technology Company Limited (“Singlee Technology”), a subsidiary of the Company, was established in Hangzhou, PRC, with statutory tax rate of 25%. In 2010, Singlee Technology is regarded as 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 is therefore 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 2012 and 2011.

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”) and Xin Yintong Technology Co., Ltd. (“Xin YinTong”) is 25% for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011.

13

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 2012 and 2011.

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% (2011: 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

Note: Applicable income tax rate of 15% (2011: 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 RMB55,698,000, available for offset against future profits and deductible temporary differences of approximately RMB20,405,000 in relation to the impairment loss on intangible assets, inventories written off, trade receivables written off and impairment recognised on trade receivables. The unused tax losses of approximately RMB12,066,000 would be expired in 2015, approximately RMB25,496,000 would be expired in 2016 and the remaining amount of RMB14,072,000 would be expired in 2017. 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.

EXTRACTED FROM INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

The following paragraphs extracted from the independent auditor’s report on the Group’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group as at 31 December 2012, and of the Group’s loss and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and have been properly prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

Emphasis of Matter

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of approximately RMB11,344,000 during the year ended 31 December 2012. This condition, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast doubt about the Company’s and the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

BUSINESS REVIEW AND ANALYSIS

Core business of the Group – RUNPOS (soft POS)

The Group’s sales volume in 2012 jumped by a fold over the previous year. The growth was mainly attributable to the substantial increase in contract sum along with the inclusion of one of the principal activities of the Group – POS MIS as a finalist into the Agricultural Bank of China. Remarkable progress was attained in sales of the Group’s RUNPOS (soft POS) second-generation products – namely, “BankHospital Express”, “Bank-Business Express” and “Bank-School Express” during the year. The three core products accounted for more than 80% of the Group’s total sales. More importantly, a vast number of customers from these projects will be gradually integrated into the Group and will be converted into online customers of the Group’s third-generation products, thus creating a broader market base for the Group’s mobile payment business. According to the statistics of China UnionPay, the Group ranks at the forefront of share in POS MIS user terminal market across the country.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT

Along with the Group’s effort to seamlessly integrate the online and offline operations of RUNPOS (soft POS) second and third-generation products during the year, there was a continued increase in costs in a number of spectrums, stretching from human resources, innovative technology R&D to marketing efforts. The Group thus incurred losses during the year. Against this backdrop, as noted from the financial data for the whole year, there was a sharp fall in our losses and a substantial increase in sales revenue. We consider that all these efforts will be strategically indispensable for us to sustain the long-term development and strengthening our core competitiveness. 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 RMB11,334,000 compared with loss of approximately RMB37,483,000 for the year ended 31 December 2011. The effect on the results of the Group for the financial year is mainly attributable to the considerable increase of approximately RMB17,240,000 in revenue for the year ended 31 December 2012 and the decrease in share-based payment expenses arising from the grant of share option in February 2011 of approximately RMB23,253,000 recorded for the year ended 31 December 2011.
