MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Business Review
1. Network Solutions and Project Services (“ NSPS ”)
The overall operating business remained stable throughout the six months period ended 31 December 2010 (the “ Financial Period ”) though the market is highly competitive.
Among the achieved revenue, approximately HK$9.1 million was generated from the sales of both telecom and enterprise networking solutions and the remaining was originated from project services.
During the Financial Period, the revenue generated by the telecom network solutions and project services was steady but the revenue from enterprise solutions was sluggish. During the reporting period, the project services division was mainly concentrated on the business of replacement and installation of 3G base stations on behalf of Nokia Siemens Networks. For the business of enterprise solutions, the Group was concentrated in the development and promotion of networking solutions in Hong Kong building on Motorola’s Wi-Fi system and Cayin Technology’s Digital Signage system. Currently, successful client references for these networking solutions from these two vendors are still pending to establish. In view of this, the Group during the Financial Period was spending additional time and effort in order to build up credentials in order to attract potential customers and eventually leading towards more business opportunities. For the telecom solution division, the business was quite successful especially on the sales of synchronization system to telecom network operators. Some of these telecom operators needed to upgrade their obsolete synchronization systems in order to keep pace with new technologies and industry standard.
2. Aircraft Leasing
The Group’s sole private jet was leased out during the Financial Period in pursuant to a lease agreement.
3. Property Investment
During the Financial Period, the Group leased out its office unit in Beijing, the PRC to an independent third party. The villa in Beijing remained vacant.
Financial Review
1. Results Analysis
For the Financial Period, revenue for the Group dropped slightly by 4.2% to HK$16.0 million (2009: HK$16.7 million). Over 88% of the Group’s total revenue was generated from the business segment of NSPS.
The increase in depreciation to HK$4.0 million (2009: HK$0.2 million) was mainly due to the recognition of depreciation charge of a Gulfstream G200 aircraft which was acquired in March 2010.
Loss for the period attributable to the equity holders of the Company was approximately HK$2.1 million (2009: HK$0.9 million).
9
2. Liquidity and Financial Resources
As at 31 December 2010, the capital and reserves attributable to the Company’s equity shareholders were HK$169.4 million (30 June 2010: HK$171.4 million). During the Financial Period, share options to subscribe for 780,000 shares were exercised with net cash proceeds inflow of approximately HK$98,000.
As at 31 December 2010, the Group had no bank or other borrowings (30 June 2010: Nil). The Group has sufficient liquidity and finance resources to meet its daily operational needs.
3. Gearing
The Group has no gearing as at 31 December 2010 (30 June 2010: Nil).
4. Foreign Exchange
The key operations of the Group are located in Hong Kong and Mainland China. The Group’s assets and liabilities are mainly denominated in Hong Kong dollars, United Stated dollars and Renminbi. The Group does not establish a foreign currency hedging policy. However, management of the Group continues to monitor foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant currency exposures should the need arises.
5. Contingent Liabilities
As at 31 December 2010, the Group did not have significant contingent liabilities (30 June 2010: Nil).
Business Outlook
Looking ahead, we are going to meet more challenges and opportunities of our business.
First of all, the “minor works control system” was implemented on 31 December 2010. All installation works in relation to the building structure (e.g. installation of a radio base station or antenna pole on the roof of a building) must employ a registered minor work contractor. To meet the Government’s latest requirements, our subsidiary has applied for and granted a provisional registered minor work contractor license by the Building Department in October 2010. The possession of this mandatory qualification enables us to explore more business opportunities in the near future in respect of our project services.
In addition to the opportunity of minor construction works in the market, our project service division is studying the feasibility in setting up TETRA base station for one of the system vendors in the first half of 2011.
For the business of network solutions, though the overall economic situation is much improved when compared to last year, we note that customers are still very cautious on project spending even though with approved budgets. In enterprise network solution business, we will continue our positioning strategy with focus in offering wireless solutions with emphasis on the applications and solutions instead of promoting the advantages of the features itself. With our first successful implementation of Motorola’s Wi-Fi and Cayin Technology’s Digital Signage system, we are going to take an aggressive stand to promote these two solutions and application by replication with our successful precedent case.
10
For the sales of telecom networking solutions, those mobile operators already awarded with the 4G LTE license are going to expand their existing networks to provide 4G service. We foresee that they may need some testing equipments to benchmark their network performance against other competitors as their existing test equipment may not have such features. Consequentially, we signed a reseller agreement with one of the leading vendors, SwissQual, for the sales and support of their products to mobile operators in Hong Kong and Macau. We believe that mobile operators with 4G LTE license granted by OFTA Hong Kong will show interest in these products before they launch their 4G services.
In addition to the above business development, we are also partnered with another Israel company, Channelot, to offer mobile TV transmitter solutions to one of the mobile operators that granted with the mobile TV license by OFTA Hong Kong in last year. If our solutions are accepted by this mobile TV operator, such partnership will further enhance our Group’s positioning as a wireless solution provider.
Though the Group has signed the reseller agreement with SwissQual as well as granted with the registered minor work contractor license by Hong Kong Government, we are still actively looking for other suitable solutions and applications that are wireless related so that we can increase our solution portfolio to better serve our customers’ needs.
For the aircraft charter business, we have renewed the lease agreement for another period of 12 months commencing from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2011. For details of the renewal, please refer to the Company’s announcement date 30 December 2010.
PURCHASE, SALE OR REDEMPTION OF THE COMPANY’S LISTED SECURITIES
Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries purchased, sold or redeemed any of the Company’s listed securities during the six months ended 31 December 2010.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The board of Directors (the “ Board ”) recognises the importance of maintaining a high standard of corporate governance to protect and enhance the benefits of shareholders and has applied the principles of the code provisions of the Code on Corporate Governance Practices contained in Appendix 14 (the “ CG Code ”) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Listing Rules ”).
For the period ended 31 December 2010, the Company has complied with the code provisions of the CG Code with deviations from the code provision A.2.1, A.4.1 and E.1.2 of the CG Code as summarised below:
- i. In accordance with CG Code provision A.2.1 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.
11
- 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. This constitutes a deviation from code provision A.4.1 of the CG Code. However, they are subject to the retirement by rotation in accordance with the provisions of the Company’s articles of association. As such, the Company considers that sufficient measures have been taken to ensure that the Company’s corporate governance practices are no less exacting than those in the CG Code.
- iii. The code provision E.1.2 of the CG Code stipulates that the chairman of the Board should attend the annual general meeting (“ AGM ”) of the Company.
The chairman of the Board did not attend the 2010 AGM due to an urgent business engagement. An executive Director had chaired the 2010 AGM and answered questions from shareholders. A member of the audit and remuneration committees was also available to answer questions at the 2010 AGM.
MODEL CODE FOR SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS BY DIRECTORS
The Company has adopted its own code of conduct regarding securities transactions by the Directors and employees (the “ Code ”) who are likely to be in possession of unpublished price sensitive information of the Company on terms no less exacting than those set out in the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers in Appendix 10 (the “ Model Code ”) of the Listing Rules.
In the period of 30 days immediately preceding and including the publication of the half year results or, if shorter, the period from the end of the relevant quarterly or half year period up to and including the publication date of the results, all Directors are restricted to deal in the securities and derivatives of the Company until such results have been published.
Upon specific enquiry by the Company, all Directors have confirmed that they have complied with the required standards set out in the Code during the six months ended 31 December 2010.
HUMAN RESOURCES
At 31 December 2010, the Group employed 19 full-time employees (30 June 2010: 21) in Hong Kong and Mainland China. Remuneration packages are structured to take into account the level and composition of pay and the general market conditions in the respective geographical locations and business in which the Group operates. The remuneration policies of the Group are reviewed on periodic basis. Apart from retirement schemes, year-end bonuses and share options are awarded to the employees according to the assessment of individual performance and industry practice. Appropriate training programs are also offered for staff training and development.
