New and revised standards on HKFRS 15 ‘‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’’
HKFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining when to recognise revenue and how much revenue to recognise through a 5-step approach: (i) identify the contract(s) with customer; (ii) identify separate performance obligations in a contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate transaction price to performance obligations; and (v) recognise revenue when performance obligation is satisfied. The core principle is that a company should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. It moves away from a revenue recognition model based on an ‘earnings processes’ to an ‘asset-liability’ approach based on transfer of control.
HKFRS 15 provides specific guidance on capitalisation of contract cost and licence arrangements. It also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers.
HKFRS 15 replaces the previous revenue standards: HKAS 18 ‘‘Revenue’’ and HKAS 11 ‘‘Construction Contracts’’, and the related Interpretations on revenue recognition: HK(IFRIC) — Int 13 ‘‘Customer Loyalty Programmes’’, HK(IFRIC) — Int 15 ‘‘Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate’’, HK(IFRIC) — Int 18 ‘‘Transfers of Assets from Customers’’ and HK(SIC) — Int 31 ‘‘Revenue-Barter Transactions ’’ Involving Advertising Services .
New and revised standards on HKFRS 16 ‘‘Leases’’
HKFRS 16, which upon the effective date will supersede HKAS 17 ‘‘Leases’’, introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Specifically, under HKFRS 16, a lessee is required to recognise a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. Accordingly, a lessee should recognise depreciation of the right-of-use asset and interest on the lease liability, and also classifies cash repayments of the lease liability into a principal portion and an interest portion and presents them in the statement of cash flows. Also, the right-of-use asset and the lease liability are initially measured on a present value
– 5 –
basis. The measurement includes non-cancellable lease payments and also includes payments to be made in optional periods if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. This accounting treatment is significantly different from the lessee accounting for leases that are classified as operating leases under HKAS 17, which does not require the recognition of a right-of-use asset or lease liability for lessees of operating leases, but for which disclosures are made in relation to lease commitment
In respect of the lessor accounting, HKFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in HKAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two types of leases differently.
Except as described above, the Directors of the Company anticipate that the application of the other above new and revised HKFRS will have no material impact on the results and the consolidated financial position of the Group.
- (iii) New Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622)
In addition, the requirements of Part 9 ‘‘Accounts and Audit’’ of the new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) come into operation during the financial year, as a result, there are changes to presentation and disclosures of certain information in the consolidated financial statements.

7. LOSS PER SHARE
(a) Basic
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to owners of the company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.
| Loss attributable to owners of the Company (HK$’000) Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue (in thousands) |
2016 (26,803) 2,591,839 |
2015 (45,189) 2,538,394 |
|---|---|---|
(b) Diluted
The calculation of the diluted loss per share for the year ended 30 June 2016 is based on the loss for the year attributable to equity holders of the Company, adjusted to assume exercise of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company has one category of dilutive potential ordinary shares: share option. The weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation is the weighted average number of the ordinary shares in issue during the year, as used in the basic loss per share calculation, and the weighted average number of ordinary shares assumed to have been issued at no consideration on the deemed exercise or conversion of share option.
The share options issued by the Company were not assumed to be exercised as they would have anti-dilutive impact to the basic loss per share for the year ended 30 June 2016 and 2015.

REVIEW OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Audit Committee of the Company has reviewed the annual results of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2016.

The work performed by PricewaterhouseCoopers in this respect did not constitute an assurance engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing, Hong Kong Standards on Review Engagements or Hong Kong Standards on Assurance Engagements issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and consequently no assurance has been expressed by PricewaterhouseCoopers on the preliminary announcement.
DIVIDEND
The Directors do not recommend the payment of a final dividend for the year ended 30 June 2016 (2015: nil).

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Business Review
1. Network Solutions and Project Services (‘‘NSPS’’)
The business environment for NSPS during the Financial Year was tough and challenging. The total revenue achieved during the Financial Year was HK$25.0 million (2015: HK$20.6 million). Despite the revenue amount achieved a growth of around 21.4% year-over-year, segment results remained flat at HK$5.7 million (2015: HK$5.4 million).
NSPS earns its revenue through the sale of telecom solutions, enterprise solutions, system maintenance and project services. The annual revenue breakdown was as follows: (i) revenue from telecom solutions was approximately HK$4.2 million (2015: HK$7.7 million); (ii) revenue from enterprise solutions was HK$4.2 million (2015: HK$4.6 million); (iii) revenue from system maintenance was HK$2.8 million (2015: HK$2.9 million); and (iv) revenue from project services was HK$13.8 million (2015: HK$5.4 million).
Hong Kong’s economic growth slowed further during the Financial Year. The domestic economy lost growth momentum because of the weak global outlook with rising downside risks hurt the local economic sentiment. The continued slowdown in inbound tourism also posed a severe threat on retail sales in Hong Kong with noticeable closure of many retail outlets. Apart from the poor economic climate, various technical partners of NSPS have introduced more Hong Kong resellers in recent year. Accordingly, NSPS faces intense competition in a crowded market.
By reviewing the revenue earned during the Financial Year in detail, a worrying trend of diminishing in both contractual amount and profit margin for each sales order was identified. The revenue from project services recorded a twofold increase but its profit margin was significantly lower than the other types of revenue income. The low profit margin was due to the low contracting fee offered by the cellular operators and fix network operators in respect of the cellular site installation and structural cabling works. Furthermore, severe competition among contractors also squeezed the profit margin. For the sale of telecom solutions, it earned the highest profit margin. Unfortunately, there was a 45.5% dropped in revenue when compared to last year. The drop was due to Hong Kong telecom operators became more conservative in making capital investments in their network in view of the subdued economic environment. For the revenue from the sale of enterprise solutions, it also recognised a drop in the profit margin. It was because the pricing of infrastructure hardware and equipment for enterprise solutions became more transparent in digital age. All listed prices could be easily identified over the internet. Besides, NSPS was forced to lower quoted price as well as suppressing gross profit margin in order to secure purchase orders from clients in response to keen market competition. Though the gross profit of maintenance works was the highest, the revenue from the maintenance contracts dropped after our supply agreement with Microsemi was terminated during the Financial Year. Apart from losing maintenance contracts to Microsemi’s new service partner in Hong Kong, some clients did not renew their maintenance contracts to save costs.
– 15 –
In previous financial years, we carried out certain project services in Hong Kong on behalf of a contractor and the related contract sum together with other variation orders of HK$2.4 million was in dispute. NSPS had commenced two legal actions respectively against this contractor. During the Financial Year, one of these litigations was ruled by the Hong Kong court in our favour and NSPS recovered an amount of approximately HK$0.3 million. The court hearing for the remaining legal case is pending and therefore no progress has been reached at the date of this announcement.
2. Property Investment
All the Group’s investment properties were fully rented out during the Financial Year.
3. Yacht Construction and Trading
During the Financial Year, the building of the keel and installation of main engines were finished. The yacht building team was working on the hull planking, engine shaft and steering alignment. Other major components of the yacht such as deck crane, generator and chiller systems were ordered and arrived at the shipyard for future installation.
4. Exploration and Evaluation of Mineral Resources
Our joint venture currently owns four mineral exploration licences (licence numbers XV-12999, XV-13593, XV-13595 and XV-13598) in Khovd and Gobi-Altay of Mongolia. The potential mineralization in these licensed areas is gold, copper, molybdenum and silver. The 2015 exploration program was completed during the Financial Year and the exploration results were reviewed thoroughly by our in-house geologist. Based on the geological data on hand, our geologist concluded that all our previous works on these licences were still in the mineral prospecting and exploration stage. A new exploration plan for 2016 was formulated by our geologist. For licence number XV-13598, the key exploration activities would cover core drilling of total depth of 2,000 meters in four target areas. For licence number XV-12999, the key exploration activities would cover target mapping, geophysical survey and core drilling of total depth of 3,000 meters. For licence number XV-13593, the key exploration activities would cover target mapping and geophysical survey. For licence number XV-13595, the key exploration activities would be geophysical survey.

The sharp dropped in both of the employee benefit expenses and other expenses was mainly due to the absence of share options granted during the Financial Year.

Business Outlook & Development
From the statistics released by the Hong Kong government, the Hong Kong economy regains some growth momentum in second quarter of 2016. The global economy outlook remains subdue. The unexpected UK referendum voted in favour of leaving the European Union casts further uncertainty to the global business environment.
Against this backdrop, the NSPS is going to face another rough ride in the year ahead. By the end of June 2016, the total contract sum on hand for NSPS was approximately HK$11.6 million. Among them, HK$3.6 million belonged to network solutions services and maintenance works, whilst the remaining HK$8.0 million belonged to the project services and the orders were mainly coming from a single mobile telecom operator in Hong Kong.
Through our job experience in telecommunication sector, we have identified business potential in other business segments that needs to resolve communication problems in large open area. For example, construction sites in which voice, video or data communications are required but having difficulty in laying cables in traditional ways due to geographical reason. We hope that our wireless broadband solutions can explore this market.
In order to enhance our technical capabilities as a solution provider, NSPS has continued to enlist more reliable technical partners. For example, NSPS has partnered with AOpen (a Taiwan corporation) recently to promote its digital signage solutions to our potential clients. AOpen has the competitive edge of having a broad product portfolio which is capable to meet the needs of a diversified client base. The digital signage solutions from AOpen will be promoted by our enterprise solutions team in the coming financial year.
The surge of project services revenue during the Financial Year was due to the reason that NSPS entered into a cellar site installation contract with a Hong Kong mobile telecom operator in March 2015. This cellar installation contract was expired in August 2016 and we have submitted a tender to

renew the cellular site installation contract for another two years. Based on the current available information, we have a high chance to win the tender. In order to diversify the revenue bases of project services, we are taking a proactive approach to identify new sources of income based on our expertise. For example, we have registered with different governmental departments to be their qualified minor works contractor and installation supplier.
In order to enhance shareholder value, the Group will continue to seek new investment opportunities in Hong Kong and Mainland China from time to time.
EMOLUMENT POLICY
As at 30 June 2016, the Group had employed a total of 30 full-time employees (2015: 29) in Hong Kong. The emolument policy regarding the employees of the Group is based on their merit, qualifications and competence. The emoluments of the directors are reviewed and determined by the Remuneration Committee, having regard to the Company’s operating results, individual performance and comparable market statistics. The Group also offers appropriate training programs for staff training and development.
PURCHASE, SALE OR REDEMPTION OF THE COMPANY’S LISTED SECURITIES
During the Financial Year, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has purchased, sold or redeemed any of the Company’s listed securities.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Board recognises the importance of maintaining a high standard of corporate governance practices to protect and enhance the benefits of the shareholders. The Board and the management of the Company have collective responsibility to maintain the interest of the shareholders and to enhance their values. They also believe good corporate governance practices can facilitate rapid growth of a company under a healthy governance structure and strengthen the confidence of shareholders and investors.
During the Financial Year, the Company had applied the principles of and complied with the code provisions of the Corporate Governance Code (the ‘‘CG Code’’) as set out in Appendix 14 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the ‘‘Listing Rules’’) on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Stock Exchange’’), save for the following deviations:
- i. Code provision A.2.1 of the CG Code stipulates that the roles of chairman and chief executive officer (‘‘CEO’’) should be separated and should not be performed by the same individual.
Mr. Lo Lin Shing, Simon (‘‘Mr. Lo’’) is the chairman of the Company and has also carried out the responsibility of CEO. Mr. Lo possesses the essential leadership skills to manage the Board and extensive knowledge in the business of the Group. The Board considers the present structure is more suitable for the Company because it can promote the efficient formulation and implementation of the Company’s strategies.
– 19 –
- ii. Under the code provision A.4.1 of the CG Code, non-executive directors should be appointed for a specific term and subject to re-election.
None of the existing Non-executive Directors is appointed for a specific term which constitutes a deviation from the code provision A.4.1 of the CG Code. However, they are subject to retirement by rotation in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Association (the ‘‘Articles’’) of the Company. Therefore, the Company considers that sufficient measures have been taken to ensure that the Company’s corporate governance practices are no less exacting than those of the CG Code.
- iii. Code provisions A.5.1 to A.5.4 of the CG Code require a nomination committee to be set up, chaired by the chairman of the board or an independent non-executive director to review the structure, size and composition of the board at least annually to complement the issuer’s corporate strategy.
The Company has not set up a nomination committee as required. The Board considers that it should be the responsibility of the full Board to review these matters and make decisions from time to time. The Board has already set out the criteria for selection of a director under its internal policy. According to Articles of the Company, any newly appointed Directors are required to offer themselves for re-election at the next general meeting. Furthermore, the Director re-election process participating by the shareholders in the annual general meeting (the ‘‘AGM’’) and the rights of shareholders to nominate a Director both ensure a right candidate to be selected to serve the Board effectively.
- iv. Code provision E.1.2 of the CG Code stipulates that the chairman of the board should attend the AGM of the Company.
Due to another business engagement, the chairman of the Board did not attend the 2015 AGM. An executive Director had chaired the 2015 AGM and answered shareholders’ questions. The AGM of the Company provides a channel for communication between the Board and the shareholders. The chairman of the Audit and Remuneration committees of the Company was also present and available to answer questions at the 2015 AGM.
COMPLIANCE WITH MODEL CODE FOR SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
The Company has adopted its own Code for Securities Transactions by the Directors (the ‘‘Code’’) and Written Guidelines for Securities Transactions by Employees of the Group (the ‘‘Employees’ Guidelines’’) who are likely to be in possession of unpublished inside information, which are on terms no less exacting than those set out in the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers in Appendix 10 to the Listing Rules (the ‘‘Model Code’’).
