OVERVIEW
We principally engage in the design, development, manufacture and sale of LED beads andare based in Guangdong Province of the PRC since 2010. LED beads are core components forproduction of backlight LED products in the midstream of the value chain of LED lighting industry.According to the CIC Report, backlight LED product market can be categorised into small, mediumand large segments, according to the size of the final electronic products where the backlight LEDproducts form a component. Our LED beads are used for production of backlight LED products inthe small and medium segments, which are generally applied as the light emitting source of thedisplays in smartphones and LCD panels in tablet computers. According to the CIC Report, weranked fourth among the LED bead manufacturers supplying LED beads to the small and mediumsegments of backlight LED product market in the PRC in terms of sales value in 2015 whereas thesmall and medium segments together accounted for approximately 40.9% of the entire backlightLED product market in the PRC in 2015. Leveraging our experience in developing LED beads, westarted developing and selling LED lighting products with our LED beads since late 2013.
OUR BUSINESS MODEL
We manufactured LED beads under our own brand and our LED lighting products onODM basis, both at our Zhuhai HongGuang Production Plant situated at Zhuhai City of the PRC.The following table sets forth the breakdown of our Group’s revenue in respect of our productcategory during the Track Record Period:
Year ended 31 December
2014 2015
RMB’000
% of total
revenue RMB’000
% of total
revenue
LED beads 99,870 90.8 114,989 96.9LED lighting products 10,168 9.2 3,717 3.1
Total 110,038 100.0 118,706 100.0
Our Group recorded an increase in revenue from approximately RMB110.0 million in 2014 toRMB118.7 million in 2015, which was mainly attributable to the increase in revenue generatedfrom the sales of LED beads from approximately RMB99.9 million in 2014 to RMB115.0 millionin 2015. Our Group recorded a significant decrease in the revenue generated from the sales of ourLED lighting products from approximately RMB10.1 million in 2014 to approximately RMB3.7million in 2015, which was mainly due to the fact that (i) our LED lighting business was still at thedevelopment stage in 2015 and hence our revenue generated from the sales of LED lightingproducts were yet to be stable in 2014 and 2015 and we had not expand our customer base by that

time; and (ii) an Australian company, being a major customer for our LED lighting products in2014 had not placed any order to us in 2015. Nevertheless, this customer continued to place salesorders for our LED lighting products in the first quarter of 2016.
OUR PRODUCTS AND PRODUCTION
Our production plant: Our Zhuhai HongGuang Production Plant is a leased property with aGFA of 2,165 m2. Our Group has been accredited with the ISO 9001:2008 certification on qualitymanagement and ISO 14001:2004 certification on environmental management system for the designand manufacture of SMD LEDs since October 2011.
LED beads: Our production of LED beads is highly automated with advanced encapsulationmachineries and equipment by SMD method. Our annual production capacity for production of ourLED beads in both 2014 and 2015 was approximately 983,808,000 pieces and our utilisation ratewas approximately 78.9% and 86.5%, respectively. Our LED beads are of different sizes andspecifications in terms of chromaticity, luminous intensity and forward voltage, which can cater fordifferent requirements of our customers.
LED lighting products: We had developed six series of LED lighting products for sales duringthe Track Record Period, categorised in terms of their respective functions and applicability andobtained certifications in respect of the national standard of ‘‘CCC’’ in the PRC and variousnational standards including ‘‘CE’’, ‘‘RCM’’, ‘‘SAA Approvals’’ and ‘‘RoHS’’ in other countries. Ourannual production capacity for assembling LED lighting products was approximately 173,000pieces during the Track Record Period. As the assembling of LED lighting products are undertakenby our staff manually with support of simple equipment and devices and our production capacitydepends on the number of workers we deployed to handle the assembly works, it is therefore notpracticable nor feasible for us to accurately quantify the utilisation rate of our assembly line.
Pricing: We generally determine the prices of both our LED beads and LED lighting productson a cost-plus basis, and we determine the pricing of each product on a case by case basis.Primarily attributed to the decrease in the price of LED chips which are one of the key productionmaterials, the average selling price of our LED beads decreased from RMB0.147 per piece in 2014to RMB0.134 per piece in 2015. The respective average unit price of our LED lighting productsranged from RMB23.7 to RMB375.0 in 2014 and from RMB14.0 to RMB189.7 in 2015, dependingon the types and the specifications of the products ordered by our customers.
OUR SALES AND CUSTOMERS
Customers: Customers of our LED beads consist of manufacturers of backlight LED modules/panels and LCD panel modules, manufacturers of electronics products and a trading company in thePRC, which exports our LED beads to Hong Kong. Our customers in LED lighting products consistof the same trading company in the PRC, and a company based in Australia which carries onbusiness as a manufacturer and importer of lighting products. Our customers predominantly locatedin Guangdong Province of the PRC.
Settlement of payment: Our customers settle their payment of our products mainly by banktransfers or bank acceptance bills with maturities of no more than six months. We will typicallyendorse these bank acceptance bills to our suppliers to settle our payment with them.

STRATEGIES
Our Group’s goal is to maintain our position as a leading manufacturer of LED beads in thePRC and to continue to penetrate into the downstream of the value chain in LED lighting industryin the PRC for the development of LED lighting products with our LED beads. To this end, ourGroup intends to achieve this goal by implementing the following business strategies:
. Expand our production capacity. Regarding the expansion of our production capacity, wewill acquire additional LED bead encapsulation machineries and equipment and set uptwo additional LED lighting product assembly lines. Though our Group recorded asignificant decrease in the revenue generated from the sales of our LED lighting productsfrom approximately RMB10.1 million in 2014 to approximately RMB3.7 million in2015, our Directors take the view that by capitalising on our experience and reputation inLED lighting industry, it would not be difficult for us to penetrate into the LED lightingproduct market by developing and producing LED lighting products with the LED beadsdeveloped and manufactured by us in-house. Furthermore, the Australian customer whichhad not placed purchase order with us in 2015 and led to a significant decrease in ourrevenue generated from the sale of LED lighting products in 2015, had resumed placingorders with us for our LED lighting products in the first quarter of 2016.
. Continue to develop our Group’s sales channels.
RISK FACTORS — HIGHLIGHTS
There are certain risks involved in our operations and in connection with the [REDACTED].
Many of these risks are beyond our control. A detailed discussion of the risk factors that we believe
are particularly relevant to us is set out in the section headed ‘‘Risk Factors’’ in this [REDACTED].
Set out below are some of the major risks that may materially and adversely affect us:
. Fluctuations in the price of production materials may affect our cost of sales and
adversely affect our business operations and profitability.
. Our reliance on major customers and any loss of our major customers or changes in their
demands for our products would have a material adverse effect on our business, results
of operations, financial conditions and prospect.
. Our reliance on the success of the downstream LED lighting industry and our business is
highly correlated to the performance of our customers’ industries
. Any unanticipated or prolonged interruption of operations of our production facilities at
our Zhuhai HongGuang Production Plant would materially and adversely affect our
business and results of operation.
. Our quality control systems may not be maintained effectively and this would result in
our failure to conform with both international and domestic quality standards in relation
to our products.

INDUSTRY AND MARKET
The LED beads manufactured by us are generally used for the production of displays in the
smartphones or LCD panels in tablet computers, which belong to the small and medium segments
of backlight LED product market. The small and medium segments together accounted for
approximately 40.9% of the market share in terms of sales value of overall backlight LED product
market in the PRC in 2015. According to the CIC Report, our Group ranked fourth among all the
60 LED bead manufacturers supplying LED beads to the small and medium segments of the
backlight LED products in the PRC.
The CIC Report has highlighted certain market trends and drivers in the PRC in relation to the
market in LED beads including (i) consumer demand driven by new consumer electronics products,
in particular, smartphones and tablet computers; (ii) penetration into international downstream
market whereby domestic LED products are expected to be accepted by international downstream
consumers further; (iii) government support to use local materials to speed up the research and
development of new technology and to build up co-operation with international companies; (iv)
increasing emphasis on the importance of intellectual property; and (v) wider application of LED
products.
Regarding our LED lighting products, the market of which is rather fragmented with around
1,000 manufacturers in the PRC. Our Group’s market share in the LED lighting product market in
2014 and 2015 was therefore negligible.

which is non-recurring by nature. The total [REDACTED] expenses to be borne by our Company is

RECENT DEVELOPMENT AND MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE
As far as we are aware, the growth of backlight LED bead market in the PRC remained steady
after the Track Record Period and there was no material adverse change in our market share in
terms of sales value up to the Latest Practicable Date.
Based on the unaudited financial information of our Group, our revenue for the four months
ended 30 April 2016 had increased moderately as compared to that of the correspondence period in
2015, which was mainly due to the facts that (i) we have continued to focus on production of LED
beads for small-sized and medium-sized backlight LED products with different specifications; and
(ii) there were no significant changes to the general business model of our Group and economic
environment save for the renovation works in our Zhuhai HongGuang Production Plant for
expansion of our production capacities as described in the section headed ‘‘Business — Business
Strategies’’ in this [REDACTED], which had been approved by the Environmental Protection
Bureau of Xiangzhou. On the other hand, the average purchase price of LED chips had increased
slightly for the four months ended 30 April 2016. In this connection, our prepayments relating to
the purchase of LED chips from our major suppliers have been increased during the 1st quarter of
2016 as compared to the 4th quarter of 2015 to secure our purchase order in order to meet the
increasing demand of our LED beads.
Prospective investors should note that the financial performance of our Group for the year
ending 31 December 2016 is expected to be materially and adversely affected by (i) the estimated
non-recurring expenses in relation to the [REDACTED]; and (ii) the expected increase in our direct
labour cost and staff salaries and benefits (including our Directors’ remuneration) following the
implementation of our future plans.
Save as disclosed above, our Directors confirm that, up to the Latest Practicable Date, there
had been no material adverse change in our financial or trading position since 31 December 2015
which would materially affect the information shown in the Accountant’s Report in Appendix I to
this [REDACTED].

RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS
Fluctuations in the price of production materials may affect our cost of sales and adversely
affect our business operations and profitability.
Our production of LED beads and LED lighting products, to a large extent, depends on a
reliable supply of a wide variety of key production materials and supplies from our suppliers in the
PRC at competitive prices. Such key materials include LED chips, gold wires and brackets. For the
two years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, the cost of production materials amounted to
approximately RMB82.7 million and RMB81.9 million, respectively, representing approximately
90.1% and 90.3% of our total cost of sales. The prices of our production materials generally follow
their respective price trends in the market. According to the CIC Report, the price of key raw
materials of LED beads had been reduced and thus, the average selling price of our LED beads had
been reduced from RMB0.147 per piece in 2014 to RMB0.134 per piece in 2015 correspondingly in
order to maintain the competitiveness of our products. Our gross profit margin is depended upon
the difference between the selling prices of our products and our cost of sales. If there is any
fluctuation in the price of our production materials and we are unable to respond to it in a timely
manner or pass the increase in price of production materials to our customers, our products may
lose their competitiveness and our profitability, financial condition and results of operations may be
materially and adversely affected. On the other hand, we cannot assure you that we will be able to
effectively manage the risk of price fluctuations of the production materials at all times.
Our reliance on major customers and any loss of our major customers or changes in their
demands for our products would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations, financial conditions and prospect.
For the two years ended 31 December 2015, our Group’s sales to our top five customers
accounted for approximately 50.5% and 76.4% of our total revenue in each of the respective years.
In the corresponding periods, sales to our largest customer accounted for approximately 13.7% and
34.0% of our total revenue in each of the respective years.
Furthermore, we do not maintain any long-term sales agreement with any of our customers for
any minimum purchase amount during a fixed term but instead, we sell our products to our
customers based on individual purchase orders. There is no assurance that our major customers will
continue their business relationship with us, or the revenue generated from dealings with them will

be maintained or increased in the future. In particular, if there is any claim against us related to the
quality of our products from our major customers, such claim would affect the relationship with our
major customers or substantially reduce their volume of purchases from us.
If there is a reduction or cessation of purchase orders from these customers for whatever
reasons and we are unable to obtain suitable purchase orders of a comparable size and terms in
substitution, our business, financial conditions and results of operation may be materially and
adversely affected. Furthermore, any deterioration on their ability to purchase our products and/or
to pay their trade receivables in a timely manner will also have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations, financial conditions and prospect. For details, please refer to the
section headed ‘‘Business — Sales and Customers’’ in this [REDACTED].
Our reliance on the success of the downstream LED lighting industry and our business is
highly correlated to the performance of our customers’ industries.
Most of our LED beads would be used for onward production of small-sized backlight LED
products or medium-sized backlight LED products, which would in turn, have end-use applications
such as the displays in smartphones and the LCD panels in tablet computers etc. As such, our
results of operations and financial performance are dependent upon the prospects of these
downstream industries.
Our business relies on the LED lighting industry and consumer electronics market as our
customers are generally manufacturers of small-sized and medium-sized backlight LED modules/
panel generally for the displays in smartphones, manufacturers of LCD panels of tablet computers
and manufacturers of other electronics products. The demand from our customers is therefore
depending on the demand and supply dynamics of the consumer electronics market and the LED
lighting industry. As such, the demand for our LED beads may fluctuate according to the cycles of
the consumer electronics market and the LED lighting industry.
The demand for our LED beads is also affected by the business performance of our customers
and/or their ultimate retail customers, which is beyond our control. Our customers’ business could
underperform due to a number of factors, such as changes in their business strategies, failure to
develop successful marketing strategies, changes in the market demand for their products and
adverse market or economic conditions in the markets in which our customers operate. If our
customers experience underperformance or are under financial difficulties, they could reduce their
purchases from our Group, which could have a material and adverse impact on our business, results
of operations, financial conditions and prospect.

Any unanticipated or prolonged interruption of operations of our production facilities at our
Zhuhai HongGuang Production Plant would materially and adversely affect our business and
results of operations.
During the Track Record Period, all our products are developed and produced at our Zhuhai
HongGuang Production Plant where all our production machineries and equipment are situated. Our
business is therefore largely dependent on the continued and uninterrupted performance of our
production facilities at our Zhuhai HongGuang Production Plant. However, these production
machineries and equipment are subject to operating risks, such as equipment failures, disruptions in
power supply, industrial accidents, labour shortage, strike, fire or natural disasters. If any
unanticipated or prolonged interruption of our operations at our Zhuhai HongGuang Production
Plant happens due to any of the aforesaid risks, we may not be able to deliver our products to our
customers in a timely manner or at all. As a result, our relationships with our customers could be
adversely affected due to our failure and we may be subject to contractual claims for compensation
from our customers, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial conditions
and results of operations.
Our quality control systems may not be maintained effectively and this would result in our
failure to conform with both international and domestic quality standards in relation to our
products.
The quality of our products is crucial to the success of our business. This depends
significantly on the effectiveness of our quality control systems, which in turn, rely on a number of
factors, which include the design of the quality control systems, the quality control training
programme, and our employees’ awareness in adhering to our quality control policies and
guidelines. Any significant failure or deterioration of our Group’s quality control systems could
result in the production of defective or substandard products, delay in delivery of our products,
replacement of defective or substandard products and damage to our reputation.
As a LED bead manufacturer, if our LED beads do not meet the specifications and
requirements agreed with or requested by our customers who are mainly backlight LED module/
panel manufacturers and use our LED beads for onward production of backlight LED products, or if
any of our products are defective, or result in our customers suffering losses as a result of product
liability claims, we may be subject to product liability claims and litigations, claims for indemnity
by our customers and other claims for compensation. We may also incur significant legal costs
regardless of the outcome of any claim of alleged defect. Product failure or defects, and any
complaints or negative publicity resulting therefrom, could result in decreased sales of these or
other products, or claims or litigation against us regarding the quality of our products. As a result,
it may have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial conditions and results of
operations.
In addition, our Group has received internationally recognised certifications relating to quality
management standards such as ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 certifications, and other
certifications including ‘‘CCC’’, ‘‘CE’’, ‘‘RCM’’, ‘‘SAA Approvals’’ and ‘‘RoHS’’ for our LED
lighting products. We cannot assure you that we can continue to maintain our quality control

systems effectively and we will not lose such certifications in future. Accordingly, any significant
failure or deterioration of our quality control systems could result in a loss of such recognitions and
certifications, which in turn may have a material adverse effect on our sales performance, reputation
and prospects.
Our failure to purchase production materials or to meet our customers’ orders could
materially and adversely affect our business operations and profitability.
We purchase our production materials from external suppliers based on customers’ confirmed
purchase orders and our projected production schedule in the next 30 to 45 working days. For each
of the two years ended 31 December 2015, the total purchases from our Group’s top five suppliers
amounted to approximately RMB75.9 million and RMB62.2 million, representing approximately
85.2% and 65.3% of our total cost of purchases for the corresponding periods. As such, our reliance
on our top five suppliers in supplying quality production materials to us has been relatively high.
If any of our major suppliers is not able to deliver raw materials to us according to our
production schedule or in such volume as is required for our production, or we fail to purchase the
production materials from other suppliers in a timely and cost-effective manner, our production
process and the delivery of products required by our customers could be delayed. As a result, our
relationships with our customers could be adversely affected due to such delays, which may
materially and adversely affect our business, financial conditions and results of operations.
Risk of shortage of labour or increase in our labour costs.
The production of our LED lighting products and certain production process of our LED beads
have to be carried out manually. Alongside the expansion of our production capacity and increase
of our production size, our need for production personnel will increase. Moreover, labour costs
have increased in the PRC in recent years. There is no assurance that we will not experience any
shortage of labour for our production or that the costs of labour in the PRC will not continue to
increase in the future. Furthermore, if labour costs continue to increase in the PRC, our production
costs may increase eventually and we may not be able to shift these extra costs to our customers
due to competitive pricing pressures among our competitors.
If we fail to retain our existing labour and/or recruit sufficient labour in a timely manner, we
may not be able to accommodate any increase in demand for our products or smoothly implement
our expansion plans, our business, prospect, financial conditions and results of operations would be
materially and adversely affected.
Our future growth will depend on our ability to expand our production capacity in a planned
manner.
For the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, the average utilisation rate of our LED bead
encapsulation machineries and equipment at our Zhuhai Hongguang Production Plant was
approximately 78.9% and 86.5% respectively. It is our strategic plan to purchase ten additional
units of each principal machinery and equipment for LED bead encapsulation production, and
RISK FACTORS

recruit additional production staff in order to meet the increasing demand for LED beads and LED
lighting products for domestic PRC and overseas markets and to capture the future growth
opportunities in both markets. Upon commencement of operation of these new production
machineries and equipment, our estimated annual production capacity of LED beads and LED
lighting products will increase by approximately 703 million pieces and 346,000 pieces
respectively.
However, the addition of these production machineries and equipment may encounter
unexpected difficulties such as delays, costs overrun, regulatory constraints, shortage of labour and
shortage of key materials, etc. We may even have problems of under-utilisation if demand for our
products will not increase at the same rate. In the event that we are unable to achieve high
utilisation of our production capacity as planned, there could be a material adverse effect on our
performance and results of operation.
Our profit margin could be adversely affected if we are unable to continuously maintain the
high utilisation of our production machineries and equipment.
Our ability to maintain our profitability depends partly on our ability to maintain the high
utilisation rate of our production machineries and equipment in our Zhuhai HongGuang Production
Plant. The level of the utilisation rate of our production machineries and equipment can impact on
our operating results as a certain percentage of our costs of sales such as direct labour and
production overhead are fixed in nature. Higher utilisation rate of our production machineries and
equipment allow us to spread our fixed costs over a larger quantity of product, resulting in a higher
profit margin. Hence, if we are unable to continuously maintain the high utilisation of our
production machineries and equipment, our profit margin would be adversely affected.
Our research and development in relation to our LED beads and LED lighting products and
the relevant patents acquired by us in relation thereto may not be well-received by the
market.
Our Directors believe that our capability to meet our customers’ requirements and
specifications in our LED beads and the requirements in our LED lighting products in terms of
style, quality and performance is a key differentiating factor that sets us apart from the rest of the
industry players. That is the reason why we devote resources to (i) conduct research and
development in enhancing the production process of our LED beads; (ii) acquire suitable patents
from third parties; and (iii) design and develop new LED lighting products. For the years ended 31
December 2014 and 2015, our expenses in the research and development were approximately
RMB0.3 million and RMB0.9 million, representing approximately 4.5% and 6.7% of our
administrative expenses, respectively.
However, conducting research, acquiring intellectual property rights from third parties and
product development can be costly processes and do not necessarily lead to the launch of a
marketable new product. Instead, the results of research and development are sometimes

unpredictable in the sense that we are not able to predict market response to our new products
before mass production. If our research and development capabilities fail to develop products that
meet our customers’ expectations, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Reliance on our senior management team.
Our success has been heavily dependent on the services provided by our key management
personnel, and we believe that the senior management team will continue to be essential to the
development and success of our business. In particular, Mr. YW Zhao has been engaged in the
manufacture of electronic products business for more than 12 years and he is also one of the
founders of our Group. Mr. YW Zhao played a pivotal role in the operation of our Group during
the Track Record Period. Mr. YW Zhao is assisted by Mr. Xu Jian Hui, a member of our senior
management team, who has more than 12 years’ experience in administration and production
management, in the daily operation, administration and production management of our Group. They
oversee our operations and production of products in order to ensure that our quality of our
products can be maintained and the production process can take place efficiently. Mr. YW Zhao,
Mr. Xu and other senior management’s knowledge and experience in the LED lighting industry are
a major factor which led to our Group’s success. To a certain extent, the future of our Group relies
on our ability to retain the services of key management personnel.
While each of Mr. YW Zhao, Mr. Xu and other members of the senior management team had
entered into or agreed to enter into service agreements with us, there is no assurance that they or
any of them would not terminate their service agreement or decline to renew their service
agreements with us. If that happens, we may not be able to replace, retain, attract and hire other
qualified managerial personnel and there may be a disruption to our business, which may adversely
affect our performance.
We may not be able to obtain adequate financing for the development of our business in the
future.
The daily operation of our business requires intensive working capital and we also require
capital investment to purchase new production equipment for our business growth. During the
Track Record Period, we relied on our registered capital, bank borrowings and amount due to
shareholders to maintain our cash flow and satisfy the needs of our daily productions. As at 31
December 2014 and 2015, our bank borrowings repayable within one year are approximately
RMB17.0 million and RMB8.0 million, respectively. The outstanding bank borrowings as at 30
April 2016 of approximately RMB14.7 million will be repaid by the combination of net proceeds
after [REDACTED] and our internal resources.
We cannot assure that we will be able to obtain bank loans and/or other equity or debt
financing on commercially reasonable terms and/or on a timely basis following the [REDACTED].
If we are unable to obtain necessary financing or obtain such financing on favourable terms due to
various factors beyond our control, we may not have sufficient funds to develop our business and
the future prospect and growth potentials of our Group may be adversely affected.

Our cash flow could be adversely affected due to overdue payments from our customers.
As at 31 December 2014 and 2015, our total trade and bills receivables was approximately
RMB77.1 million and RMB58.4 million respectively, of which approximately RMB27.9 million and
RMB34.9 million was due from our top five customers respectively over the corresponding periods.
For details, please refer to the section headed ‘‘Financial Information — Description and analysis of
principal items in the consolidated statements of financial position — Trade and bills receivables’’
in this [REDACTED]. There is no assurance that we are able to secure the payments from our
customers on a timely manner. If we are unable to collect payments from our customers before the
expiry of the respective credit period or our customers default on settlement of outstanding balance,
there could be a material effect on the results of our operation and financial condition.
We are exposed to risks of infringement of our intellectual property right by third parties.
We are the registered owner of our trademarks and certain patents in the PRC and our
trademarks in Hong Kong, however the said registrations of which, may not be adequate to prevent
third parties from misappropriating our intellectual property rights. In particular, we are susceptible
to infringement of our intellectual property rights due to the fact that protection and enforcement of
intellectual property rights in the PRC are not as certain and effective as in other developed
countries. Even though we have applied for patent protection for some of our products, there is no
assurance that we are free from any infringement of our patent rights by our competitors or other
third parties. We cannot assure you that imitation of our LED beads and LED lighting products will
not occur. Any occurrence of imitation of our products may result in a reduction of our market
share, a decline in our sales and profitability as well as an increase of our administrative costs in
detection and protection of our products, which in turn affects our overall results.
Furthermore, as at the Latest Practicable Date, we had applied for registration of one patent
relating to LED beads in the PRC. However, there is no assurance that the said patent under
applications will be approved or approved on a timely basis.
We may be exposed to any infringement claims by third parties, which, if determined
adversely against us, could cause us to pay significant damage awards.
Our success partly depends on our ability to use and develop our know-how, patents and
brand name without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties. However, we cannot
assure you that there is no potential risk of infringement claims made by any third party against us.
If that happens, the defence of intellectual property rights claims, including infringement lawsuits
and related legal and administrative proceedings, can be both costly and time consuming and may
significantly divert the efforts of our management personnel and our financial resources. It would
also result in our customers deferring or limiting their purchase or use of our products until
resolution of such lawsuits. If such claims are brought against us, we might also face lengthy and
costly litigation that could adversely affect our overall performance.

Our business is subject to seasonality.
We generally record lower sales in the first quarter of the year, due to the Chinese New Year
holiday in the PRC. On the other hand, we generally record higher demands from our customers in
the last quarter of the year because our customers require our LED beads to manufacture backlight
LED modules/panels for displays of smartphones and LCD panels of the tablet computers a few
months before the holiday seasons, including Chinese New Year, such that the end customers could
launch its products during the holiday seasons, where demand is generally higher. Hence, any
comparison of our sales and operating results during different periods within a single same financial
year, are not necessarily meaningful and shall not be relied on as an indication of our performance.
Our results of operation are likely to continue to fluctuate due to seasonality.
Our financial performance is expected to be affected by our [REDACTED] expenses.
Our financial results for the year ending 31 December 2016 will be affected by non-recurring
expenses in relation to the [REDACTED]. Whether or not the [REDACTED] eventually takes place,
a major portion of the [REDACTED] expenses will have been incurred and recognised as expenses,
which will reduce our net profit and therefore negatively affect our future financial performance.
The estimated expenses in relation to the [REDACTED] are approximately RMB[REDACTED].
Our Group expects to recognise approximately RMB[REDACTED] in the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income and to deduct the remaining of approximately RMB[REDACTED] from our
Group’s equity. In addition, if the [REDACTED] were to be postponed due to the then prevailing
marking condition or other reasons, additional [REDACTED] expenses would also be incurred for
future [REDACTED] plan. This would further negatively affect our Group’s future net profit. As a
result, our business, financial performance, operating results and prospect would be adversely
affected.
We are exposed to the risk of industrial accidents at our production site.
Our Group may be exposed to the risk of industrial accidents at our Zhuhai HongGuang
Production Plant in the PRC. Although we have enforced our safety measure and equipped with
insurance under normal market practice, there is no guarantee that industrial accidents may not
occur in the future, which may result in suspension of the operation in the Zhuhai HongGuang
Production Plant, damaging our plant or machinery, and give rise to potential liability to our
employees, our customer or third parties.
We are subject to risks in relation to changes in technology.
The LED lighting industry in which we operate is characterised by rapid changes and
advancements in technology. With technology advancement, the LED beads and LED lighting
products we offered to the market may become obsolete. If we are not able to respond to the rapid
changing trends in the LED lighting market and to introduce new products on a timely basis, our
performance in the future would be adversely affected. In addition, new technological developments
often bring price declines and decreasing profit margin for both LED beads and LED lighting
products which may present risks in driving our results downwards.
RISK FACTORS

We operate in a competitive environment.
We face fierce competition in terms of technologies and product prices not only in the PRC
but also in other countries or regions, such as Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Our ability to compete also
depends on a number of factors which may be beyond our control, including the price of the
comparable products offered by our competitors in the market and the responsiveness to changes of
customers’ needs.
Owing to the intense competition in the LED lighting industry in which we operate, we cannot
assure that the selling prices of certain products are free from downward pressure. In the event that
our competitors lower their products’ prices, we might follow their act in order to maintain our
market shares, competitiveness, or to lower our inventory level.
As new competitors enter into the industry, we may not be able to maintain or expand our
sales of our LED beads or expand the sales of our LED lighting products or to continue to compete
effectively against current and future competitors. There is no assurance that our attempts to remain
competitive in the market will succeed. If our attempts to remain competitive fail and our market
share shrink, our overall performance may be adversely affected.
RISKS RELATING TO CONDUCTING BUSINESS IN THE PRC
Owing to the fact that all of our Group’s assets, business operations and manufacturing
facilities are in the PRC, the results of our operations, financial position and prospects would be
affected by the economic, political and legal developments in the PRC. The major risks that we are
exposed to are as follows:
We face risks associated with changes in the economic conditions of the PRC and other export
destinations.
For the two years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, the revenue derived from sales in the
PRC accounted for approximately 95.6% and all of our revenue respectively. Relying heavily on
domestic sales in the PRC, our financial performance may be affected by the fluctuations in its
economy. As our LED beads are used for onward production of small-sized or medium-sized
backlight LED products for electronic consumer goods including smartphones and tablet computers,
if there is any economic downturn or significant changes in consumer preferences, consumers’
spending pattern in the PRC results in the decline in the demands for consumer electronics
products, the sale of our LED beads would be materially affected correspondingly. As the prices of
LED lighting products are generally more expensive than their comparable traditional lighting
products, any financial crisis or economic downturn in the PRC may cause the market demand for
LED lighting products decrease as well. As a result, our business, financial condition and results of
operations may be adversely affected.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to predict and respond to changes in economic
conditions of the PRC. We may not be able to adopt measures to sufficiently control our costs or
maintain our sales volume during the recession period of the PRC. Any failure to do so may have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.
Uncertainties with respect to China’s economic and political policies could affect our
performance.
During the past decades, PRC’s economy has been transitioning from a planned economy to a
relatively market-oriented economy. Although the PRC government has implemented measures for
economic reform, a substantial portion of productive assets in China is still owned or controlled by
the PRC government. The PRC government exercises significant control over the country’s
economic growth by controlling the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency
denominated obligations, setting monetary and industrial policies and providing preferential
treatment to certain industries or companies. While some of these measures may benefit the overall
economy, they may have a negative impact on our business. Furthermore, changes in the political
environment of the PRC may have an adverse effect on our business.
Our business operations are subject to uncertainties with respect to the laws and regulations
of the PRC.
Our business and operations in the PRC are governed by the laws of the PRC. The PRC law is
a codified system which comprises of statutory laws, regulations, circulars, administrative directives
and internal guidelines. Some of them, and the interpretation, implementation and enforcement
thereof, are still at an experimental stage and are therefore subject to policy changes.
In the event that our PRC subsidiary breaches any of the foregoing, whether by omission or
not, we will subject to penalties prescribed therein. Owing to the fact that the growing of the legal
system and economic system are in different pace, some degree of uncertainty exists in connection
with whether and how existing laws and regulations are applicable to certain circumstances.
Moreover, precedents on the interpretation, implementation and enforcement of the PRC laws and
regulations are of limited value for decisions because the higher court decisions in the PRC do not
necessary have binding effect on lower courts. Accordingly, the outcome of dispute resolution may
not be as consistent or predictable as in other jurisdictions.
Currency conversion and exchange rate risks.
The PRC’s current currency policy is allowing the exchange rate of RMB to move in a
managed way subject to ad hoc measure will be taken by the relevant government authorities, there
can be no assurance that exchange rate of RMB will not have any substantial fluctuation. Since a
substantial amount of the income and profit of our Group are denominated in RMB, any
fluctuations in the value of the RMB may adversely affect the amount of dividends, if any, payable
to the Shares in Hong Kong dollars to our Shareholders.

We may be unable to pay any dividend on our Shares.
We are a holding company incorporated in Cayman Islands, and we operate our core business
through our subsidiary in the PRC. Therefore, the availability of funds for us to pay dividends to
our Shareholders and to settle our indebtedness depends upon dividends received from our PRC
subsidiary. If our PRC subsidiary incurs debt or losses, the ability to pay dividends or other
distributions to us may be impaired. As a result, our ability to pay dividends and to repay our
indebtedness will be restricted. PRC laws require that the dividends be paid only out of the after-
tax profit of our PRC subsidiary calculated in accordance with the PRC accounting principles,
which differ in many aspects from generally accepted accounting principles in other jurisdictions.
PRC laws also require enterprises established in the PRC to set aside part of their after-tax profits
as statutory reserves, which are not available for distribution as cash dividends. In addition,
restrictive covenants in bank credit facilities or other agreements that we or our subsidiaries may
enter into in the future may also restrict the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividend to us. The
restrictions on the availability of our funding may impact our ability to pay dividends to our
Shareholders and to service our indebtedness. As a result, there is no assurance that dividends will
be distributed at all or in any particular form.
We cannot assure that future declaration of dividends, if any, will be consistent with our
historical declarations of dividends. There is no assurance that we will declare dividends at all in
the future. Future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of the Board and will depend upon the
then our overall results of performance, financial condition, legal and contractual restrictions and
other factors as the Board may deem relevant.
You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing judgments or
bringing original action in the PRC against us, our management or the experts named in this
[REDACTED].
Substantially all of our assets and operation are located in the PRC. Furthermore, some of our
Directors and executive officers reside within the PRC. As a result, it may not be possible to effect
service of legal process outside Hong Kong (as the case may be) upon some of our Directors and
senior executive officers with respect to matters arising under applicable securities laws. Moreover,
the PRC does not have entered into treaties with Hong Kong and a number of jurisdictions for
reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of foreign courts. As a result, recognition and
enforcement in the PRC of judgments of a court in Hong Kong and certain jurisdictions mentioned
above in relation to any matter, which is not subject to a binding arbitration provision, may be
difficult if not impossible.

In general, five to 20 pieces of backlight LED products are integrated in a backlight module
which is then integrated in a smartphone. The medium segment’s sales value reached RMB396.8
million in 2015, attaining a CAGR of 106.8% over the period from 2010 to 2015, and taking a
share of 4.2% of the overall sales value of LED beads for backlight LED product market.
Tablet PC is one of the major end-users of the LED beads in the medium segment. It is
estimated that each backlight module of a tablet PC requires the integration of around 20 to 40
pieces of backlight LED products. The market demand of tablet PC is therefore highly likely to
affect the LED product market. The growth of the medium segment is however expected to slow
down in the coming five years as the market gradually matures.
The large segment reached RMB5,532.2 million in 2015 in terms of sales value. The large
segment attained the largest market share of 59.1% in the overall backlight LED product market in
2015, with a CAGR of approximately 3.0% over the period between 2010 and 2015. According to
CIC, the slower growth rate of the segment was attributed to the high saturation of and fierce
competition in the large-sized LCD panel market.

technology advancement. Thus, international downstream customers are more likely to purchase
LED beads from China.
Threats from new entrants
Some large LED manufacturers plan to join the competition of production and sale of LED
beads because of existing gross profit margin. Once the research and development work engaged by
these new entrants has become successful, the existing market players will have to face the threats
from these newcomers.
Potential overcapacity problem
The LED industry has experienced a rapid growth during the past few years. With more
intensive competition and decreasing gross margin, overcapacity may be a potential problem in the
future.

Competitive landscape of the market for backlight LED beads
The LED beads supplied for production of backlight LED products in small and medium
segments, which together accounted for approximately 40.9% of the market share of the overall
market for backlight LED products in the PRC in 2015 in terms of sales value. There were around
60 enterprises engaged in production of LED beads for the small and medium segments of the
backlight LED product market by the end of 2015, which reflect that these two segments were
relatively concentrated. The top five leading producers contributed a sales value of approximately
RMB1,443.7 million in 2015, representing approximately 37.7% of the market share in the
production of LED beads for the small and medium segments of China’s backlight LED product
market, while our Group attained a market share of approximately 3.0% in the said market of the
same year.
The chart below sets forth the competitive landscape by sale value of the top five

Entry barriers
Technology requirement
Higher lighting effect, increased life time, and better performance stability are required for
LED beads to optimise the display effectiveness of panels. The technology of LED beads
production is complex and it is not easy to master in a short-term.
The well-established and leading companies are able to provide products of high quality,
which can satisfy the needs of consumers. New entrants with insufficient technology accumulation
and limited knowhow experience will be difficult to produce products that can meet the strict
industry criteria in a short period of time.

Cost control
The management of LED beads production is complex. A well cost control requires rich
experience in the purchasing, production and marketing of the LED beads products. It is difficult
for new entrants to reduce the cost so as to increase their competitiveness. Hence, a well cost
control sets a high barrier for the new entrants to have a further development in the market.
Solid clientele
Most of the downstream customers tend to build a strong and long-term relationship with
reliable suppliers of LED beads. Customers in the market do not frequently switch from a reliable
supplier with established relationship to a new one, as such change may disrupt the already staple
supply of high-quality products. Therefore, it becomes particularly difficult for a new entrant to
solicit customers.
Scale effect
The industry became increasingly concentrated after the intense competition in the backlight
LED product market in the past years. As a result, the leading companies are more likely to enjoy
the benefit of economies of scale.
It is not easy for new entrants to rapidly grow into a scale company in a short period of time.

OVERVIEW OF THE LED LIGHTING PRODUCT INDUSTRY IN THE PRC
Development of the LED lighting product industry in the PRC
Sales Value of LED Lighting Product Industry by Application, China, 2010–2020E
Source: CIC
The overall LED lighting product industry in the PRC by sales value reached approximately
RMB22.3 billion in 2015, with a CAGR of approximately 36.0% from 2010 to 2015.
Attributed to (i) the policies issued by the PRC government to (a) phase out and prohibit the
importation and sales of traditional electric incandescent lamps and (b) promote the adoption of
LED lighting products; (ii) the reduction in the average prices of LED lighting products due to
advancement of technology, which stimulates the demand from the end consumer market; and (iii)
the growth of the PRC economy, it is anticipated that the penetration rate of LED lighting products
will further increase. The sales value of the overall LED lighting industry is expected to reach
approximately RMB68.6 billion by 2020, representing a CAGR of approximately 25.2% from 2015
to 2020.
The LED lighting product industry can be divided into four markets by application, which
consists of the industrial, outdoor, residential and commercial market.

Price analysis of the LED lighting product industry in the PRC
Price Analysis of LED Lighting Product Industry, China, 2010–2015
Source: CIC
The average price of LED lighting products in the PRC had decreased during the past five
years due to the decrease in raw material costs caused by technology advancement. The average
price of 7W LED lighting products decreased from approximately RMB134.5 per unit in 2010 to
RMB25.2 per unit in 2015. The average price of 9W LED lighting products decreased from
approximately RMB172.8 per unit in 2010 to RMB27.9 per unit in 2015. The price of LED lighting
products is still experiencing the downward trend. However, with the PRC government’s effort to
eliminate overcapacity in the LED lighting product industry, the price of LED lighting products in
the PRC is expected to be stabilised after 2018.
Trends and drivers
Continuous cost reduction stimulates the market demand
Both the prices of LED chips and LED lighting products had been decreased during the past
five years. In 2015, the price per LED lighting products was below RMB30 for both 7W and 9W
LED lighting products. Such continuing price reduction will stimulate the market demand.
The consideration of environmental protection increases the replacement market
The manufacturing process of fluorescent lamps involves mercury, which is harmful to the
environment. Compared to fluorescent lamps, LED lighting products are relatively more
environmental friendly as they contain no mercury and consume significantly less energy. Thus,
LED lighting products are anticipated to replace fluorescent lamps gradually.
Government regulations on phasing out traditional lighting products increase the LED lighting
product penetration rate
The PRC government had promulgated certain plans which aim at phasing out or prohibiting
the sales of electric incandescent lamps, which are likely to increase the LED lighting product
penetration rate.

Future opportunities and threats to the LED lighting product industry in the PRC
Competitive price of LED lighting products and increasing market demand
Benefiting from the advancement of LED lighting technology, the average price of LED
lighting products had gradually decreased during the past years and become closer to that of
traditional lighting products. As a result, market demand for LED lighting products, e.g. from the
residential lighting market and commercial lighting market, is expected to grow.
Opportunity for export
As the LED lighting industry matures and more stringent regulations being enforced, the
overall product quality of the industry is expected to be improved. As a result, it is anticipated that
more international customers will import LED lighting products from the PRC.
Over supply market environment and reduced net profit
Due to the PRC government policies on promoting the adoption of LED lighting products, the
number of newly established LED lighting product manufacturing plants has increased rapidly over
the past few years. The possible over supply market environment is likely to cause price war among
large manufacturers and reduce the net profit rate of the overall industry.
Competitive landscape of LED lighting product industry
The LED lighting product industry in the PRC is rather fragmented. In 2015, the production
value of the LED lighting industry in the PRC was approximately RMB33.7 billion, which were
contributed by around 1,000 LED lighting product manufacturers. It is expected that the number of
LED lighting product manufacturers will continue to increase in the coming years.
In 2015, the LED lighting product manufacturers in the Guangdong province of the PRC
accounted for more than 60% of the market share of the LED lighting market in the PRC. As the
development of our LED lighting products is only at reception stage, the market share of our Group
is negligible in 2015.

commodities have different tax rebate rates depending on the different types, respectively 5%,
9%, 13%, 15%, 16% and 17%.
4. Laws and Regulations Relating to Foreign Exchange
Foreign Currency Exchange
The principal regulation governing foreign currency exchange in the PRC is the Foreign
Exchange Administration Rules of the PRC (〈中華人民共和國外匯管理條例〉) (the ‘‘Foreign
Exchange Administration Rules’’), which was promulgated on 29 January 1996 and amended
on 14 January 1997 and 5 August 2008. Under Foreign Exchange Administration Rules, the
Renminbi is generally freely convertible for payments of current account items, such as trade
and service-related foreign exchange transactions and dividend payments, but not freely
convertible for capital account items, such as capital transfers, direct investment, investment in
securities, derivative products or loans, unless prior approval of the Sate Administration of
Foreign Exchange (‘‘SAFE’’) or of its branches was obtained.
Under the Foreign Exchange Administration Rules, foreign-invested enterprises in the
PRC may purchase foreign exchange without the approval of the foreign exchange
administrative authority for paying dividends by providing certain evidencing documents
(board resolutions, tax certificates, etc.), or for trade and services-related foreign exchange
transactions by providing commercial documents evidencing such transactions. They are also
allowed to retain foreign currency (subject to a cap approval by SAFE) to satisfy foreign
exchange liabilities. In addition, foreign exchange transactions involving overseas direct
investment or investment and exchange in securities, derivative products abroad are subject to
registration with SAFE and approval or filing with the relevant governmental authorities (if
necessary).
On 30 March 2015, SAFE promulgated Notice of the State Administration of Foreign
Exchange on Reforming the Management Mode of Foreign Exchange Capital Settlement of
Foreign Investment Enterprises (《國家外匯管理局關於改革外商投資企業外匯資本金結匯管
理方式的通知》) to reform the management approach regarding the settlement of the foreign
exchange capital of foreign-invested enterprises. The notice implemented a discretional foreign
exchange settlement where the foreign exchange capital in the capital account of foreign-
invested enterprises for which the confirmation of rights and interests of monetary contribution
by the local foreign exchange bureau (or the book-entry registration of monetary contribution
by the banks) has been handled can be settled at the banks based on the actual operation needs
of the enterprises.
Dividend Distribution
The principal regulations governing distribution of dividends paid by wholly foreign-
owned enterprises include (i) the Company Law; (ii) the ‘‘Wholly Foreign-owned Enterprise
Law’’; and (iii) the ‘‘Implementation Rules to Wholly Foreign-owned Enterprise Law’’. Under
LAWS AND REGULATIONS
– 69 –
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED ‘‘WARNING’’ ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
the above laws and regulations, wholly foreign-owned enterprises in the PRC may pay
dividends only from accumulated after-tax profits, if any, determined in accordance with the
PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, such enterprises are required to set
aside at least 10% of their after-tax profits each year, if any, to fund certain reserve funds
unless these accumulated reserves have reached 50% of the registered capital of the
enterprises. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Under the relevant PRC
laws, no net assets other than the accumulated after-tax profits can be distributed in the form
of dividends.
Overseas Investment by Domestic Residents
Notice of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange on the Administration of Foreign
Exchange Involved in Overseas Investment and Financing and Return on Investment
Conducted by PRC Residents via Special-Purpose Companies (國家外匯管理局關於境內居民
通過特殊目的公司境外投融資及返程投資外匯管理有關問題的通知) (‘‘SAFE Circular No.
37’’), which was promulgated and effective on 4 July 2014, replaces Notice of the State
Administration of Foreign Exchange on the Administration of Foreign Exchange Involved in
Financing and Return on Investment Conducted by PRC Residents via Special-Purpose
Companies (國家外匯管理局關於境內居民通過境外特殊目的公司融資及返程投資外匯管理
有關問題的通知) (‘‘SAFE Circular No. 75’’). According to SAFE Circular No. 37, prior to
making contribution to a Special-Purpose Company (‘‘SPC’’) with legitimate holdings of
domestic or overseas assets or interests, a Mainland resident shall apply to the relevant
Foreign Exchange Bureau for foreign exchange registration of overseas investment. Mainland
resident individuals shall refer to Chinese citizens holding the identity cards for Mainland
residents, military identity documents or identity documents for Chinese armed police force,
and overseas individuals who do not hold any Mainland legal identity document, but who
have habitual residences within the territory of the PRC due to relationship of economic
interests. After a SPC has completed overseas financing, if the funds raised are repatriated to
the Mainland for use, relevant Chinese provisions on foreign investment and external debt
management shall be complied with.
Under the relevant rules, failure to comply with the registration procedures set forth in
SAFE Circular No. 37 may result in restrictions being imposed on the foreign exchange
activities of the relevant onshore company, including the increase of its registered capital, the
payment of dividends and other distributions to its offshore parent or affiliate and the capital
inflow from the offshore entity, and may also incur penalties under PRC foreign exchange
administration regulations to relevant domestic resident.
On 13 February 2015, SAFE promulgated the Circular on Further Simplifying and
Improving Direct Investment-related Foreign Exchange Administration Policies (國家外匯管理
局關於進一步簡化和改進直接投資外匯管理政策的通知) (Huifa [2015] No. 13, ‘‘Circular
No. 13’’), which went into effect on 1 June 2015. Circular No. 13 simplifies the foreign
exchange registration procedures for foreign direct investment and overseas direct investment,
enables enterprises to handle it in a designated foreign exchange bank, and abolishes the

9. Laws and Regulations Relating to Intellectual Property
Patents
The PRC Patent Law (〈中華人民共和國專利法〉) was promulgated in 1984 and amended
in 1992, 2000, 2008 respectively. Under the PRC Patent law, invention patents are valid for
twenty years and external design patents and utility model patents are valid for ten years, in
each case commencing on their respective application dates. Persons or entities who use
patents without the consent of the patent owners, make counterfeits of patented products, or
engage in activities that infringe upon patent rights are held liable to the patent owner for
compensation and may be subject to fines and even criminal punishment.
The patent prosecution system in the PRC is different in many ways from that in other
countries. The patent system in the PRC uses the principle of first to file. This means that
when more than one person file a patent application for the same invention, the patent will be
granted to the person who files the application first. In addition, the PRC requires absolute
novelty in order for an invention to be patentable. Therefore, in general, a patent will be
denied if it is publicly known in or outside of the PRC. Furthermore, patents issued in the
PRC are not enforceable in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau Special Administrative Region,
each of which has an independent patent system.
(a) Invention Patent
The products seeking invention patent protection must possess such characteristics
as novelty and innovation and the grant of invention patent is subject to disclosure and
publication requirement. Normally, the patent administrative authority publishes the
application 18 months after application is filed, which may be shortened upon request by
the applicant. The patent administrative authority conducts a substantive review as
required by applicant within 3 years from publication or if necessary at its discretion to
grant the invention patent, issue the certificate of invention patent and announce and
register it if there is no cause for rejection of the application of the invention patent after
substantive review and makes a decision. The term of protection is 20 years from the
date of application. Once an invention patent is granted, unless otherwise permitted by
law, no individuals or entities are permitted to engage in the manufacture, use, sale or
import of the product protected by such patent or otherwise engage in the manufacture,
use, sale or import of the product directly derived from applying the production
technology or method protected by such patent, without consent of the patent holder.

(b) Utility Model Patent
The products seeking utility model patent protection must also possess such
characteristics as novelty and innovation. Utility model patent is granted and registered
upon application unless there are reasons for the patent administrative authority to reject
the application after its preliminary review. The utility model patent is also subject to the
disclosure and publication requirement upon application. The term of protection is ten
years from the date of application. Once an utility model patent is granted, unless
otherwise permitted by law, no individuals or entities are permitted to engage in the
manufacture, use, sale or import of the product protected by such patent or otherwise
engage in the manufacture, use, sale or import of the product directly derived from
applying the production technology or method protected by such patent, without consent
of the patent holder.
(c) External Design Patent
The products seeking external design patent protection must not be the same as or
similar to those previously released in domestic or overseas publications, publicly used
in the country or infringing upon third parties’ legal rights. The application procedure
and term of protection is the same as utility model patent. Once a design patent is
granted, no individuals or entities are permitted to engage in the manufacture, use, sale
or import of the product protected by such patent without consent of the patent holder.
Trademarks
Both the PRC Trademark Law (〈中華人民共和國商標法〉) which was promulgated in
1982 and amended in 1993, 2001 and 2013, and the Implementation Regulation of the PRC
Trademark Law (〈中華人民共和國商標法實施條例〉) which was promulgated by the State
Council of the PRC in 2002 give protection to the holders of registered trademarks. The
Trademark Office under the State Administration for Industry and Commerce of the PRC (中
華人民共和國國家工商行政管理總局商標局) (the ‘‘Trademark Office’’) handles trademark
registrations and grants a term of ten years to registered trademarks, renewable every ten
years. Trademark license agreements must be filed with the Trademark Office or its regional
counterparts.
10. Laws and Regulations Relating to M&A Rules and Overseas Listings
On 8 August 2006, six PRC governmental and regulatory agencies, including Ministry of
Commerce and the China Securities Regulatory Commission (中國證券監督管理委員會) (the
‘‘CSRC’’), promulgated the Regulations on Merger and Acquisition of Domestic Enterprises by
Foreign Investors (關於外國投資者併購境內企業的規定) (the ‘‘M&A Rules’’), a regulation with
respect to the mergers and acquisitions of domestic enterprises by foreign investors that became
effective on 8 September 2006 and was amended on 22 June 2009.

DISPOSAL DURING THE TRACK RECORD PERIOD

owned subsidiary of Zhuhai HongGuang on 28 March 2013. As at the date of incorporation and up

substantial business during the Track Record Period as planned, the Controlling Shareholders were

OVERVIEW
We principally engage in the design, development, manufacture and sale of LED beads in the
Guangdong Province of the PRC. LED beads, being the light emitting source, are core components
for production of backlight LED products. Our LED beads are used and applied for the displays in
smartphones and LCD panels in tablet computers. In late 2013, we started developing and selling
LED lighting products with our LED beads on ODM basis. In 2013, we obtained ‘‘SAA Approvals’’
for export of our LED lighting products to Australia. In 2014, we obtained ‘‘CCC’’ certification for
sale of our LED lighting products in the PRC, and also ‘‘CE’’, ‘‘C-Tick’’ (subsequently superseded

Our revenue generated from the sale of LED beads for the two years ended 31 December 2014
and 2015 was approximately RMB99.9 million and RMB115.0 million respectively, representing
approximately 90.8% and 96.9% of our total revenue during the corresponding periods. Our
revenue generated from the sale of LED lighting products for the two years ended 31 December
2014 and 2015 was approximately RMB10.1 million and RMB3.7 million respectively, representing
approximately 9.2% and 3.1% of our total revenue during the corresponding periods. The sales of
our LED lighting products dropped significantly in 2015 because (i) our LED lighting business was
still at the development stage in 2015 and hence our revenue generated from the sales of LED
lighting products were yet to be stable in 2014 and 2015 and we had not expand our customer base
by that time; and (ii) an Australian customer, being one of the customers of our LED lighting
products in 2014, had not placed purchase orders to us in 2015. This Australian customer resumed
purchasing LED lighting products from us in the first quarter of 2016.
According to the CIC Report, we ranked fourth among all the LED bead manufacturers
supplying LED beads to the small and medium segments of the backlight LED product market (Note)
in the PRC in terms of sales value in 2015, whereas the small and medium segments of the

. the Opinions of the State Council on Promoting Information Consumption and BoostingDomestic Demand (國務院關於促進信息消費擴大內需的若干意見) issued by The StateCouncil in August 2013 to strengthen electronic industry innovation ability and supportthe industry participants to speed up the research and development of new generation ofdisplay panels.
Our LED beads are mainly used for onward production of backlight LED modules/panels forconsumer electronics products including smartphones and tablet computers of certain popularbrands in the PRC. According to the CIC Report, the smartphone market accounted forapproximately 69.8% of the total market share of the mobile phone market in the PRC in 2015 interms of production volume and is expected to grow continuously to 2,795.1 million units in 2020with a CAGR of 16.8% from 2015 to 2020 and domestic manufacturers of smartphones accountedfor increasing market share due to improved technology and growing brand reputation.
In view of the above-mentioned supports from the PRC government and the growth of
smartphones market, in particular, the growing prospect of domestic brands of smartphones in the
PRC, we plan to continue to expand the sale of our LED beads in the PRC market.
Implementation of our plan for expansion of our sales channels in the PRC: As our currentcustomer base is predominantly in the Guangdong Province, we intend to penetrate the sale of our
LED beads into other provinces in the PRC. We plan to expand our sales and marketing team by
recruitment of two sales supervisors with profound knowledge in the backlight LED products for
smartphone and tablet computer in the PRC in early 2017. The new sales supervisors will be
particularly designated for promoting and marketing our LED beads to manufacturers of backlightLED modules/panels, LCD panel modules and other electronics products in other provinces in the
PRC. Regarding the sale of our LED lighting products, our sales and marketing team also plans to
expand our customer base by exploring new sale channels, including sales to wholesalers of
commercial and consumer lighting products in the PRC.
Implementation of our plan for expansion to overseas markets: Owing to the energy-savingnature and other advantages of LED lighting, governments in other countries also enact policies to
promote the development of LED lighting products. Hence, we also plan to expand the sale of our
LED beads and LED lighting products to overseas countries. We plan to develop our LED lighting
products on ODM and OBM basis, and enhance the design and development of our LED lighting
products to fit changing market needs.
We plan to expand our sales and marketing team by recruitment of three additional sales
supervisor with profound knowledge in the LED lighting industry in overseas markets by the end of
2016, who will be particularly designated for promoting and marketing our LED beads and LED
lighting products under our own brands in overseas markets.
We will also attend various trade fairs in the PRC and elsewhere to promote our brands and
products. Our Directors believe that a successful brand is the key to our Group’s sales growth in the

OUR BUSINESS MODEL
Our Group principally engages in the design, development, manufacturing and sale of LED
beads. Our LED beads are used as the core components of the small-sized and medium-sized
backlight LED products, which are in turn the light source for LCDs as LCDs do not produce light
themselves but rely on the backlight products for illumination.
As backlight LED products are generally categorised by size or dimension, our LED beads are
generally used for small-sized and medium-sized backlight LED products, which can be applied on
the displays of smartphones and LCD panels in tablet PC and other electronic products.
Notwithstanding the wide application of LED beads, to the best knowledge of our Directors, our
LED beads were generally applied for production of the displays in smartphones and LCD panels of
tablet computers during the Track Record Period.
During the Track Record Period, all our LED beads were developed and manufactured by us
at our Zhuhai HongGuang Production Plant. We did not outsource any production step to any sub-
contractors.
On the other hand, in order to expand our product range and utilise our capability in the
manufacture of LED beads, being a core component of LED lighting devices, our Group decided to
tap into the downstream LED lighting product market and since late 2013, our Group has started
developing and selling LED lighting products on ODM basis for sale to a customer in Australia and
a trading company in the PRC.

OUR GROUP’S PRODUCTS
During the Track Record Period, our Group manufactured the following major products:
LED beads
The heart of a LED lighting device is the LED bead, which is a miniature electronic
device in the order of millimetre in size and emits light when electric current is passed
through both ends of it. In principle, the LED bead converts electrical energy into light energy
under a certain efficiency scale. The LED bead is therefore the component which emits lightfrom the back of a LCD.
LED beads on tape, which are ready for delivery to our customers
The sales in our LED bead attributed to a significant proportion of our revenue during
the Track Record Period. For the two years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, the sales inour LED beads were approximately RMB99.9 million and RMB115.0 million respectively,
which represented approximately 90.8% and 96.9% of our total revenue during the
corresponding periods respectively.
The average unit price of our LED beads decreased from RMB0.147 per piece in 2014 to
RMB0.134 per piece in 2015 primarily due to the decrease in the costs of productionmaterials. For details, please refer to the section headed ‘‘Financial Information — Cost of
material used’ in this [REDACTED].
Our Group manufactures LED beads for our customers who are mainly backlight LED
module/panel manufacturers and manufacturers of LCD panels and other electronic products inthe PRC for their onward production of small and/or medium-sized backlight LED products,
which can be used in the displays of smartphones as well as LCD panels of tablet computers.
As the lighting displays or panels of those devices do not produce light themselves, they need
to be illuminated by a light source underneath the panels. The LED bead acts as the
fundamental light source for illumination of the displays or panels at their back and hence the
LED bead is given the terminology ‘‘backlight’’.

LED beads
Based on customers’ requirements and the intended usage of the LED beads, our
engineers design by ourselves or together with our customers the LED beads’ specifications,
including their chromaticity, luminous intensity and forward voltage. We will then prepare the
design plans and blueprints. If customers require, we will make prototypes and conduct
production trial upon receiving customers’ approval on the prototypes. Once our customers
have confirmed on the design, which contain the specifications of the LED beads, we can
commence mass production of the LED beads.
The major production processes of LED beads are as follows:
Die Binding and Wire Bonding
The process of die binding mainly involves (i) picking light emitting parts from 6’’
LED wafer containing LED chips; (ii) checking of the surface of the 6’’ LED wafer; (iii)
binding light emitting parts onto the brackets; (iv) sample-checking of the die binding to
confirm there is no crack between the LED chips and the brackets; and (v) curing of the
die-binding. It is entirely undertaken by SMD method.
The process of wire bonding mainly involves connecting light emitting parts by
gold wires to the polarities and curing, which involves adjustments to the LED beads’
specifications in accordance with customers’ needs.
Envelope Epoxy
The process of envelop epoxy mainly involves (i) preheating for two hours at 140
degree celsius; (ii) preparation of epoxy which includes optimising the mix of phosphor
to satisfy individual customers’ order variations in terms of technical specifications
including luminous intensity and chromaticity; (iii) curing, checking of all envelope
epoxy; and (iv) peel light emitting parts from frame to become LED beads.
Baking
The semi-finished products will be put in the photoelectric ovens for baking so that
the epoxy of which would be fixed.
Product Sorting, Taping, Inspection and Packing
These processes involve (i) sorting LED beads according to their light emitting
characteristics; (ii) curing before taping; (iii) checking the tape, mounting the
homogenous LED beads onto a peel of tape; (iv) final inspection of the LED bead on
tape and (v) vacuum packing.
Our LED beads, after mounted onto a peel of tape, will be subject to inspection and
packaging afterwards and be available for delivery to our customers.

In terms of usage, our LED beads can be installed into various kinds of small-sizedor medium-sized backlight LED products according to the required specifications of thelight emitting capability of the LED beads, which are in turn generally applied as thedisplay of smartphones and the LCD panels of tablet computers.
The production lead time is approximately two to six days, subject to the size of thepurchase order.
LED lighting products
During the Track Record Period, we focused on the outward design and functions of ourLED lighting products. Our LED lighting products were developed and manufactured on anODM basis. We prepare the design plans and blueprints based on customers’ requirements interms of the outward design, illuminous intensity and voltage of the product and the intendeduse of the products. If customers require, we make prototypes and conduct production trialupon receiving customers’ approval on the prototypes. Our production process of LED lightingproducts therefore include mainly (i) installation, assembling and testing of the parts andcomponents including (a) circuit boards and power modules which are purchased from oursuppliers and (b) the LED beads developed and produced by us in-house by fixing andsoldering manually and (ii) inspection on the finished products. Our workers also undertakethe cleaning, labelling and packaging of the finished products manually.
The production lead time is approximately 30 days, subject to the size of the sales order.
PRODUCTION FACILITIES AND MACHINERY

Repair and maintenance
We implement strict repair and maintenance procedures for our major machineries and
equipment. Our production team conducts routine checking on our machineries and equipment on a
daily basis and conducts cleaning and detailed checking on a monthly basis. We check the sensors
and other major parts of our machineries on a quarterly basis and conduct thorough cleaning thereof
and their power supply systems on an annual basis. We maintain detailed records of maintenance
and repair of the machineries.
We had compiled a handbook related to the guidelines for the management of our production
facilities. The handbook contains the procedures related to the planning and acquisition of new
machineries and equipment and details on the repair and maintenance of our machineries and
equipment. For the two years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, our costs incurred for the repair
and maintenance of our machineries and equipment were approximately RMB0.2 million and
RMB0.2 million respectively.
LED lighting products
As at the Latest Practicable Date, we had one assembly line consisting of three workers to
undertake the entire assembling and packaging of LED lighting products. Regarding the assembling
of LED lighting products, we use the parts and components including LED beads manufactured in-
house together the circuit boards and power modules which are purchased from our suppliers. Our
production process of LED lighting products therefore include mainly testing, assembling and
installation of these parts and components and our in-house manufactured LED beads. These works
are undertaken by our workers manually with support of simple machineries and equipment. Hence,
our capacity for production of LED lighting products primarily depends on the number of workers
we have deployed to undertake the fixing, soldering, checking, cleaning, labelling, inspecting and
packaging of finished products in this respect. Based on 288 working days per year and 10 working
hours per working day(note) and a production team of three workers, the estimated annual production
capacity of our assembly line for production of LED lighting products would be 173,000 pieces.
The production of our LED lighting products is still in the inception stage and we deploy workers
from our production team to the assembly line of our LED lighting products only after we have
received purchase orders from customers. Hence, it is not feasible or practicable for us to accurately
quantify the utilisation rate of our assembly line for the production of LED lighting products.
PRODUCTION MATERIALS AND SUPPLIERS
For the two years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, the cost of production materials used
accounted for approximately 90.1% and 90.3% of our total cost of sales, respectively. Production
materials purchased and used by our Group mainly include LED chips, gold wires and brackets.
During the Track Record Period, LED chips were the largest purchases, representing approximately
68.2% and 80.9% of the total cost of material used for the two years ended 31 December 2014 and
Note: As our production process of LED lighting products is mainly undertaken by our workers manually with support of
simple machineries and equipment, our Directors consider that the maximum working hours per worker shall not be
more than 10 working hours per working day.

2015 respectively. Our Group sources production materials generally from our PRC suppliers. The
table below shows a breakdown of our Group’s purchases by types of production materials for the
two years ended 31 December 2015:
For the year ended 31 December
2014 2015

Total 82,675 100.0 81,934 100.0
Note: Other production materials mainly include plastic tapes, phosphors, glue and packaging materials.
For the hypothetical sensitivity analysis and breakeven analysis on the cost of production
materials used for each year during the Track Record Period, please refer to the section headed
‘‘Financial Information — Sensitivity and breakeven analysis’’ for further details.
During the Track Record Period, our Group purchased production materials from over 50
suppliers. Our Group generally has alternative sources of supply for production materials and hence
the loss of any single supplier would not have a material impact on our operations.
Procurement planning
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the procurement department of our Group comprised two
personnel. Our Group in general purchases our production materials based on (i) customers’
confirmed purchase orders; (ii) projected production schedule in the next 30 to 45 working daysand (iii) the prevailing price of certain major production materials, including LED chips, gold wires
and brackets. Our production department will first place an internal purchase request with our
procurement department, based on customers’ confirmed orders. Our procurement staff would
request for price quotations in advance from our suppliers biannually as future reference for the
production materials required for production. Our procurement staff will place purchase orders forthe production materials with the suppliers with reference to the quotation obtained in advance.
Since our Group did not engage in any hedging activity nor enter into any futures contract to
manage price fluctuation of the production materials, parts and components during the Track
Record Period and does not plan to engage in any hedging activity in the foreseeable future, our
procurement department will closely monitor the price of the production materials. When our Groupanticipates any increase in the price of production materials or shortage of supply thereof, our
Group will adjust our procurement plans accordingly in order to minimise the exposure to the
fluctuations in prices and supply.

Although there was decrease in the average purchase price of LED chips and brackets and
fluctuation in the price of gold wires as detailed in the section headed ‘‘Industry Overview’’ in this
[REDACTED], such decrease in prices of our production materials, did not cause any material
adverse impact on the financial conditions to our Group during the Track Record Period.
Selection of suppliers
Our Group selects our suppliers based on a number of criteria including but not limited to
their product quality, pricing, supply capability and business track record with our Group. Our
Directors take the view that due to their experience in the LED lighting industry, they strive tosafeguard safety and quality of our production materials. Hence, our Directors are capable of
identifying suitable suppliers based on the aforesaid criteria. Our Group regularly conducts on-site
inspections of the suppliers’ production facilities, reviews their background information and
licences, including their business licence(s) and requisite certifications. As such, our Group has
compiled and maintained a list of approved suppliers. These suppliers or any one of them would beremoved from the list should they fail to satisfy our quality and service requirements upon periodic
review by our production team and quality control team.
In view of our Group’s stringent criteria in selection of suppliers, we tend to maintain stable
relationships with our suppliers to ensure that no disruption would be caused to our operation as a
result of any change of suppliers. Our business relationship with our top five suppliers ranged fromone to four years as at the Latest Practicable Date.
Salient terms of our purchase orders
Standard terms of our purchase orders: Owing to the large number of suppliers, our Directors
do not consider it necessary to enter into any long-term procurement agreements with suppliers,
which is in line with industry practice. Instead, our Group would issue a standard purchase order to
the supplier on our list of approved suppliers in an ordinary purchase transaction. A standard
purchase order contains specifications and quantity of the production materials procured by us, unit
prices, the total transaction amount, payment date and method and the delivery date. The suppliers
are usually required to make delivery to our warehouse at their own costs before a specified date.
Payment methods: Our Group is generally required to pay for the production materials
between 30 to 120 days from our suppliers. Sometimes, at the request of the suppliers subject to the
demand and supply conditions of LED chips, we may need to prepay certain amount of the
purchase price in order to secure our purchase of LED chips. Payment of purchase price for the
production materials is generally made by bank transfers or bank acceptance bills endorsed to us by
our customers and settled in RMB. During the Track Record Period, we had not entered into any
arrangement with the banks or financial institutions with respect to the issue of any bank
acceptance bills by ourselves. For more details, please refer to the section headed ‘‘Financial
Information — Trade and bills receivables’’ in this [REDACTED].
Our Directors confirm that, save for the litigation with a supplier of brackets, during the Track
Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, our Group had not encountered any quality
issues on or shortage or delay of production materials and/or any significant return of defective

For details about this litigation proceeding, please see the paragraph headed ‘‘Litigations’’ in this
section. For each of the two years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, the value of the products
returned to suppliers over our total cost of sales was approximately 4.8% and 1.1%, respectively.
Our Group’s top five suppliers
For each of the two years ended 31 December 2015, total purchases from our Group’s top five
suppliers amounted to approximately RMB75.9 million and RMB62.2 million, representing
approximately 85.2% and 65.3% of our total cost of purchases for the corresponding periods. For
each of the two years ended 31 December 2015, our Group’s purchases from our largest supplier
accounted for approximately 19.6% and 21.6% of our total cost of purchases in each of the
respective years. All our suppliers are domestic suppliers carried on business in the PRC.
None of our Directors, their respective associates, and existing Shareholders own more than
5% of our issued share capital or have any interest in any of our Group’s five largest suppliers
during the Track Record Period.

Save for new customers who are required to make full payment to us before we deliver theproducts to them, we generally grant credit periods to our customers varying from 30 days to 90days, depending on the creditworthiness of individual customers and determining on a case-by-casebasis with reference to the customers’ scale of operation and length of business relationship with us.Our customers in the PRC usually settle payment by way of bank transfer or bank acceptance bills.As to the latter, we would accept bank acceptance bills if we have confirmed with a supplier whowould allow us to settle our payment with it by endorsing the bank acceptance bills we receivedfrom our customers. The maturity of the bills receivables generally are not more than six months.For the two years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, approximately 62.0% and 47.0% of therevenue received from our customers are paid by bank acceptance bills for settlement of thepurchase of our products, respectively.
During the Track Record Period, we experienced delays in receiving our trade and billsreceivables. For details, please see the section headed ‘‘Risk Factors — Our cash flow could beadversely affected due to overdue payments from our customers’’ in this [REDACTED]. We have

Products return policy and after-sale services
Product return policy: Our Group normally allows return and replacement of products mainly
due to quality reasons. Our Group generally categorises the defects in the products into technical
defects and non-technical defects. Any technical defect found will be referred to our engineering
team while the non-technical defect, for instance, defects found in the surface of packaging of our
products, will be handled by our sales and marketing team together with other relevant teams.
Generally, our Group responds to the customers’ inquiries regarding any defective products within
one day. During the Track Record Period, our Group had not experienced any significant product
return and replacement owing to any quality issue, which would have caused any material and
adverse impact on the financial condition and operating results of our Group. For each of the two
years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, the value of the product returned (owing to quality issue)
over our total revenue was approximately 0.76% and 0.25%, respectively.
After-sale services: The staff members of our sales and marketing team regularly pay visits to
and communicate with our customers to collect their feedbacks on the quality, preferences,
improvements and market demands of our products. Our sales and marketing team will share this
information with our production team and research and development team in order to improve the
existing products.
Complaint handling: Our sales and marketing team is responsible for handling customers’
complaints. After a customer has lodged a complaint on the quality of our products and/or make a
written request for product return and replacement, our sales and marketing team will pass the
matter to our production team and quality control team to inspect the products under complaint. If
the complaint and/or the request for product return and replacement is genuine, we will arrange for
a replacement to be sent to customer.
Delivery and logistics
Delivery of our products to the customers is made via road or sea shipment. For products
delivered via road, our Group generally engages third party logistic service providers to deliver the
products from our Zhuhai HongGuang Production Plant to the destinations specified by the
customers at our own costs. The risks of the products remain with our Group until the products are
duly delivered to our customers’ designated destinations. For each of the two years ended 31
December 2014 and 2015, the delivery costs for engaging third-party logistic service providers
amounted to approximately RMB0.2 million and RMB89,000, respectively. For the exports sales to
the customer in Australia, our products are delivered through shipment on a freight-on-board (FOB)
basis. The risks of loss or damage of goods transported under FOB basis pass to the buyer when the
goods are on board of the vessel, and the buyer bears all costs from that moment onwards.

PRICING POLICY
Our pricing policy aims to facilitate the profitable and sustainable growth of our business. We
generally determine the prices of both our LED beads and LED lighting products on a cost-plus
basis. Since each product has its own specifications or requirements, the pricing of each new
product is negotiated and determined on a case by case basis with individual customers in order to
balance the profitability between our customers and our Group. In general, we determine the price
of our products by reference to the following factors:
. product specifications, functional and quality requirements, complexity of the
manufacturing process, sales volume, lead time and the delivery schedules required by
our customers;
. production costs including costs of production materials and the prevailing labour cost;
. payment terms; and
. the packaging requirements.
As a result of the ‘‘cost-plus’’ pricing strategy, our Directors believe that our Group could
generally pass the risks arisen from any fluctuation in purchase costs of production materials to the
customers during the Track Record Period. As the price of the LED chip has reduced in recent
years, the average price of our LED beads had reduced correspondingly from RMB0.147 per piece
in 2014 to RMB0.134 per piece in 2015. In this connection, we continuously keep ourselves abreast
of changes to the market prices, conduct regular reviews on the pricing policy and pay close
attention to responses of the customers during negotiations/quotations stage. Our Group may adjust
the pricing policy to ensure our Group is responsive to market price changes and customers’
responses in a timely manner to avoid any material adverse impact on our market position,
competitiveness, performance and financial conditions.
Tax rebate
During the Track Record Period, part of our LED lighting products were exported to an
Australian company and for the two years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, the revenue
generated from these export sales amounted to approximately RMB4.8 million and nil, representing
approximately 4.4% and nil of our revenue, respectively. We were therefore entitled to a rebate of
the VAT from the PRC tax authority arising from these export sales at rates ranging from 13% to
17% for our LED lighting products. We received export tax rebate in the respective sum of
approximately RMB0.6 million and nil for the year ended 31 December 2014 and 2015,
respectively.
SEASONALITY AND PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE
As our LED beads are mainly applied for production of the backlight LED modules/panels for
smartphones and tablet computers of certain popular brands in the PRC, our Directors consider that
the product life cycle of our LED beads would be affected by the pace of technological
BUSINESS

development and the launching of new smartphone and/or tablet computers of these popular brands
in the PRC. According to the CIC Report, the fast update of consumer electronics, like portable and
visual products of smartphones, tablet computer etc., is likely to lead people to change new
products frequently. With the speeding up of electronics consumption, more and more new
smartphones and tablet computer spring up. The old products are therefore expected to be replaced
in a short term, which benefit for the increase of demand for backlight LED products. Meanwhile,
the number of customers tending to have more than one smartphone or tablet PC is continuously
increasing.
Our Directors consider that the life cycle of our LED lighting products would depend on the
level of competition of LED lighting products in the markets in which our LED lighting products
are offered for sale.
We generally record lower sales in the first quarter of the year, which our Directors consider
to be generally attributable to the Chinese New Year holiday in the PRC. On the other hand, we
generally record higher demands from our customers in the last quarter of the year, which we
consider to be attributable to their needs to manufacture backlight LED products for displays of
smartphones and LCD panels of the tablet computers as their end customers may have sales
promotion for smartphones and tablet computers during holiday seasons, such as Chinese New
Year. Our customers, which include manufacturers of backlight LED modules/panels, LCD panels
modules and manufacturers of electronics products therefore typically make purchase orders with us
a few months before holiday seasons, including Chinese New Year.
MARKETING AND PROMOTION
As at the Latest Practicable Date, our sales and marketing team comprised 16 members staff
who are responsible to communicate with our customers from time to time to collect their feedbacks
on our products and updated market information. Our sales and marketing team is also responsible
for handling the return of customers’ defective products by timely attending to the matter and
referring the problem to the production and other departments.
To promote our Group and our products, our Group attended trade fairs in India and Russia in
2014 and in the PRC in 2015.
QUALITY CONTROL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, our Group had nine staff members responsible for quality
control. The quality control supervisor is in charge of the overall implementation of our quality
control measures on the entire production process and the finished products. Our quality control
team is mandated to identify any quality control issues and provide solutions to the production team
to address the quality control issues. Our quality control staff examine the products at each key
stage of production to ensure that the quality of the products can meet our internal standards and
customers’ requirements. In this connection, both the staff members in production team and quality
control team are trained to identify quality control issues.

Quality control on production materials
Incoming production materials are subject to normal inspection by our quality control team to
ensure their conformity with the specifications and requirements of our customers before
acceptance. Upon discovery of any sub-standard or defective production materials, the quality
control personnel will refer the case to the procurement department which will communicate with
the relevant suppliers for defect analysis and arrange for return of such supplies. Depending on the
nature of the production materials, the internal guidelines of our Group require the testing and
inspection process to cover aspects including appearance, size, mechanical features, electrical
testing and geometric features. The maximum amount of defective production materials discovered
during random inspection which is considered by us as acceptable is 0.5% of the entire batch of the
production materials under inspection. Though our Group has adopted a strict quality control
measure in inspecting the incoming production materials, there are occasions that defects are
discovered during the production process. If that happens, we will return the defective production
materials to the relevant suppliers and request the suppliers to send the new batch of production
materials to us.
Quality control on production process
The quality control personnel test the quality of semi-finished products at several stages in the
production process. One of the major objectives is to ensure that the overall quality of semi-
finished products conforms to the required standards, by means of testing on all of the work-in-
progress, immediate defect analysis and timely repair. Those semi-finished products that fail to
meet the quality standards are either repaired or disposed of and are subject to failure analysis to
identify the root cause of failures and determine corrective actions to be taken. The production
personnel and quality control personnel meet regularly to discuss the causes of the quality problems
of our products and the corresponding solution to improve and ensure the quality of our products.
Quality control on finished products
It serves as the final control point to ensure that outgoing products comply with the
customers’ requirements and the industry standards. Our Group requires the quality control
personnel to conduct inspection and functional testing on the quality standard for product
inspection. The finished products must pass the final quality testing before packaging. Those
products that fail to meet the quality standard will be subject to additional work and those which
meet the requisite standard will be subject to final inspection by the customers, if required. Some of
the customers also send their representatives to conduct on-site quality checks on the finished
products.
Quality certifications and recognition
We have obtained quality certifications as an effort to ensure our manufacturing system and
processes conform with to the internationally recognised quality standards. We have obtained the
ISO 9001:2008 certification on quality management and ISO 14001:2004 certification on
environmental management system both since October 2011. We have also obtained certifications

including ‘‘CE’’, and ‘‘RoHS’’ for European Union and ‘‘RCM’’ and ‘‘SAA Approvals’’ for
importation of electronics products into Australia.
RESEARCH AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Our Group has a research and development team which focuses on the improvement of the
production process. As at the Latest Practicable Date, we had five members in our research anddevelopment team, out of which (i) one member possessed a bachelor degree in Physics; (ii) one
possessed post-secondary-school qualification in the field of applied electronics in the PRC; and
(iii) three attended secondary school in the PRC. As at the Latest Practicable Date, our Group had
applied for the registration of one patent in the PRC under the category of invention patent in
relation to a type of plastic dispensing syringe used in the step of envelop epoxy stage of theproduction process of the LED beads production process.
Please refer to the paragraph headed ‘‘B. Further information about the business of our Group
— 2. Intellectual property rights of our Group’’ of Appendix IV to this [REDACTED] for details of
the patent under application and the 14 utility model patents (實用新型專利) and one invention
patent (發明專利) already registered under the name of Zhuhai HongGuang.
Our Group incurred approximately RMB0.3 million and RMB0.9 million respectively in
aggregate for the costs of research and development for the two years ended 31 December 2014 and
2015, which mainly consisted of the staff costs of the research and development team.
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
The inventory comprises mainly of production materials and finished products. Our
procurement and inventory team, which is consisted of nine staff as at the Latest Practicable Date,
closely monitor the inventory level to meet the production requirements, and minimise any waste on
inventory or obsolete inventory.
Production materials
We purchase most of our production materials after we have confirmed the purchase orders
with our customers in order to avoid accumulation of excessive inventories. However, we strive to
maintain minimal level of inventory for the production materials based on the purchase orders. Weaccumulate key production materials that we frequently use in our production, including LED chips,
brackets and gold wires, in order to meet our continuous production needs for a period around 30 to
45 working days.
As most of our products are produced based on individual orders, there is no significant risk
of obsolescence. Our production team will determine the amount of materials to be purchased basedon the number and sizes of purchase orders from our customers:
BUSINESS

. once the amounts are confirmed, with the assistance from our production team, our
procurement and inventory team will check the availability of existing inventory and will
then proceed to ordering the production materials from suppliers chosen from our
approved list of suppliers;
. after our quality control team has conducted inspections on the incoming production
materials, the production materials will be warehoused and we will perform material
categorisation and inventory tracking; and
. a full stock take is performed on a quarterly basis to ensure the accuracy of stock-in and
stock-out information on record. Throughout the year, our Group reviews the stock-
taking records and performs inventory aging analysis to ensure that inventories are
properly used and that there is no unnecessary accumulation of aged inventories.
We adopt a first-in-first-out approach for the utilisation of the raw materials and parts and
components.
Finished goods
Finished products refer to the products which are readily delivered to customers. As our
Group commences the production process after receipt of purchase orders placed by the customers,
there is no significant risk of obsolescence of finished goods. Our Group adopts a first-in-first-out
approach in utilising the finished goods and closely monitor the inventory level of the finished
goods to minimise the inventory level.

PRC Legal Advisers note that there is no government department or authority in Zhuhai which isresponsible for registration of lease agreements entered into between corporations related to the
lease of premises for business and production purposes. As such, it is not able for us to register the
lease agreement. The PRC Legal Advisers opine that since we have been lawfully using and
occupying the premises pursuant to the lease agreement, the lease agreement is still subsisting and
enforceable and legally binding between the landlord and our Group. We have been advised by thePRC Legal Advisers that we will not be subject to material penalty under PRC laws and regulations
for the non-registration of the lease agreement.
INSURANCE
Our Group currently maintains social security insurance for our employees, property insurancefor our production facilities in the Zhuhai HongGuang Production Plant, and our vehicles. Our
Group does not maintain product liability insurance arising from the manufacture and sale of our
products. Our Directors confirm that our Group’s insurance coverage is adequate for our operations
and is in line with industry practice. As at the Latest Practicable Date, our Group had not made, nor

MARKET AND COMPETITION
According to the CIC Report, the sales value of backlight LED beads for production of
backlight LED products had grown with a CAGR of 8.0% over the period from 2010 to 2015 in thePRC, reaching an overall market size of approximately RMB9,356.5 million in 2015. In 2015, the
sales value of backlight LED beads in the small-sized and medium-sized backlight LED product
segments recorded a combined sales value of approximately RMB3,824.4 million, representing
approximately 40.9% of the total sales value of backlight LED beads for production of backlight
LED products in all the three segments in the PRC in 2015.
According to the CIC Report, the number of manufacturers supplying LED beads to the small
and medium segments was relatively concentrated, with the top five out of a total 60 manufacturers
in the segment attaining a combined sales value of approximately RMB1,442.8 million in 2015,
representing an aggregate market share of approximately 37.7%. Amongst 60 manufacturers in
these two segments, our Company ranked number four in terms of market share, recording a marketshare of approximately 3.0% and a sales value of approximately RMB115.0 million in the PRC in
2015.
In view of various government policies promulgated by the PRC government purported to
promote the development of the backlight LED product market in the PRC and the rapid growth of
the smartphone and tablet PC markets, the demand in backlight LED product market is expected togrow in the future. Our Directors consider that the (i) complex and highly technological intensive
nature of LED bead manufacturing; (ii) the time and experience involved in developing an effective
cost control system; (iii) the difficulty for newcomers to build a solid relationships with customers;
BUSINESS
– 121 –

and (iv) the time involved to grow into a sizable company to enjoy the benefit of economy of scale,
are the major entry barriers to the market for development and production of backlight LED beads
in the PRC.
Our Directors believe that the competitive strengths, which are more particularly set out in the
paragraph headed ‘‘Competitive strength’’ in this section, will enable our Group to maintain our
position as one of the active market players for developing and manufacturing of LED beads for the
small and medium backlight LED product market in the PRC.
Owing to the continuous reduction in the production costs as a result of the decrease in the
price of LED chips and the rapid increase in the number of LED lighting product manufacturing
plants as a result of the PRC government policies in phrasing out traditional lamps due to the
environmental protection nature of LED lighting products, the LED lighting product market is
rather fragmented with around 1,000 manufactures in the PRC. In 2015, our Group’s market share
in LED lighting product market is negligible.

condition; and

respective close associates do not have any interest in a business apart from our Group’s business
which competes or is likely to compete, directly or indirectly, with our Group’s business, which
would require disclosure pursuant to Rule 11.04 of the GEM Listing Rules.
INDEPENDENCE FROM THE CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDERS
Our Directors do not expect that there will be any other significant transactions between our
Group, its Controlling Shareholders and their respective close associates upon or shortly after the
[REDACTED]. Our Directors consider that our Group is capable of carrying on its business
independent of and without undue reliance on the Controlling Shareholders and their respective
close associates after the [REDACTED] based on the following reasons:
Management independence
Our Company aims to establish and maintain a competent and independent Board to
supervise our Group’s business. The main functions of the Board include (i) approving the
overall business plans and strategies of our Group; (ii) monitoring the implementation of the
aforesaid policies and strategies; and (iii) managing our Group. Our Group has an independent

Mr. Lin is an executive Director and Mr. KS Chiu is a non-executive Director.
Each of our Directors is aware of his fiduciary duties as a Director which require, among
other things, that he acts for the benefit and in the best interests of our Company and does not
allow any conflict between his duties as a Director and his personal interest to exist. In the

Director(s) shall abstain from voting at the relevant Board meeting in respect of such
transaction and shall not be counted in the quorum.
Operational independence
Our Group has established our own organisational structure comprising of individual
departments, each with specific areas of responsibilities. Our Group has not shared our
operational resources and general administration resources with the Controlling Shareholders
and/or their respective close associates.

independent treasury functions for cash receipt and payment and the ability to operate
independently from the Controlling Shareholders from a financial perspective. Our Group
makes financial decision according to our own business needs.
Our Directors confirm that amounts due to the Controlling Shareholders and their
associates will be settled and/or capitalised before the [REDACTED], and the bank borrowings
guaranteed by the Controlling Shareholders and their associates will be settled in full by the
combination of net proceeds of the [REDACTED] and our internal resources.

maintain financial independence from the Controlling Shareholders and their respective close
associates after [REDACTED].

the ‘‘Covenantors’’) executed the Deed of Non-Competition in favour of our Company (for itself
and as trustee for and on behalf of its subsidiaries).

own or in conjunction with or on behalf of any person, firm or any body corporate,
partnership, joint venture or other contractual agreement, whether directly or indirectly, among

The discussions and analysis in this section of the [REDACTED] contain forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on assumptions and
analysis made by us in light of our Group’s experience and interpretation of historical trends,
current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors that we believe are

future periods differ materially from those discussed below depends on various factors which we
do not have any control over. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include
those discussed in the sections headed ‘‘Forward-looking Statements’’, ‘‘Risk Factors’’ and
‘‘Business’’ as well as those discussed elsewhere in this [REDACTED].
Unless the context otherwise requires, financial information described in this section is
described on a consolidated basis.
OVERVIEW
We principally engage in the design, development, manufacture and sale of LED beads and
are based in the Guangdong Province of the PRC since 2010. Our LED beads of different
specifications are used for production of backlight LED products which are generally applied as the
light emitting source of the displays in smartphones and LCD panels in tablet computers. Since late
2013, we have also started developing and selling LED lighting products on ODM basis with our
LED beads.
Our LED beads of different specifications are mainly sold to manufacturers of backlight LED
products, LCD panels modules and electronic products and a trading company in the PRC. On the
other hand, our Group’s LED lighting products are sold to a customer in Australia and the same
trading company in the PRC.
For the two years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, our Group recorded revenue of
approximately RMB110.0 million and RMB118.7 million respectively, and profit for the year of
approximately RMB5.4 million and RMB7.7 million, respectively.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Prior to the incorporation of our Company and the completion of the Reorganisation, the
business of our Group (the ‘‘[REDACTED] Business’’), being the design, development,
manufacture and sales of LED beads and LED lighting products in the PRC, was carried on by
Zhuhai HongGuang.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Pursuant to the Reorganisation as detailed in the section headed ‘‘History, Reorganisation and
Corporate Structure — Reorganisation’’ in this [REDACTED], the Company became the holding
company of Zhuhai HongGuang now comprising our Group on 5 October 2015 by way of share
swaps with the existing Controlling Shareholders.
Immediately prior to and after the Reorganisation, the [REDACTED] Business is held by
Zhuhai HongGuang. Pursuant to the Reorganisation, Zhuhai HongGuang together with the
[REDACTED] Business are transferred to and held by the Company. The share swaps have no
substance and do not form a business combination, and accordingly, the financial information of the
Company was consolidated with that of the operating subsidiaries using the predecessor carrying
amounts. The Reorganisation is therefore merely a reorganisation of the [REDACTED] Business
and does not constitute a business combination, as if the group structure under the Reorganisation
had been in existence throughout the Track Record Period or since the respective dates of
incorporation of the entities now comprising the Group, whichever is the shorter period.
For the purpose of the Accountant’s Report, the consolidated statements of comprehensive
income, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and the consolidated statements of cash
flows of our Group for the Track Record Period have been prepared using the financial information
of the entities now comprising our Group, as if the current group structure had been in existence
throughout the Track Record Period, or since the respective dates of incorporation of the relevant
entities now comprising our Group where this is a shorter period. The consolidated statements of
financial position of our Group as at 31 December 2014 and 2015 have been prepared to present the
assets and liabilities of the entities now comprising the Group which were in existence at those
dates, as if the current group structure had been in existence as at the respective dates. The net
assets and results of our Group were consolidated using the carrying value from the perspective of
the Controlling Shareholders. All significant intra-group transactions and balances have been
eliminated on consolidation.
MAJOR FACTORS AFFECTING THE GROUP’S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our Group’s financial condition and results of operations have been and will continue to be
affected by a number of factors, including those discussed below, some of which are beyond the
management control.
Fluctuations in the price of production materials
Our production of LED beads and LED lighting products, to a large extent, depends on a
reliable supply of a wide variety of key production materials from our suppliers in the PRC at
competitive prices. Our key materials primarily include LED chips, brackets and gold wires. If there
is any fluctuation in the price of our production materials and we are unable to respond to it in a
timely manner or pass the increase in price of production materials to our customers, our products
may lose their competitiveness and our profitability, financial condition and results of operations
may be materially and adversely affected.

Market conditions and trends in the PRC consumer electronics and LED lighting industry
Our LED beads are typically used for onward production of small-sized or medium-sized
backlight LED products, which would in turn, be applied in end-use applications such as the
displays in smartphones, portable electronic devices, panels of tablet computers. As such, our
results of operations and financial performance are dependent upon the prospects of these
downstream industries. Our business relies on the PRC consumer electronics and LED lighting
industry as our customers are predominantly backlight LED product manufacturers of small-sized
and medium-sized backlight products for the displays in smartphones, portable electronic devices
and panels of tablet computers. The demand from our customers is therefore depending on the
demand and supply dynamics of the consumer electronic market and the LED lighting industry. As
such, the demand for our LED beads may fluctuate according to the cycles of the consumer
electronic market and the PRC consumer electronics and LED lighting industry.
Intense competition
The market players in LED lighting industry exist not only in the PRC but also in other
countries or regions, such as Japan, Korea and Taiwan. We face fierce competition with such
market players in terms of technologies and product prices. Our ability to compete also depends on
a number of factors which may be beyond our control, including the price of comparable products
offered by our competitors in the market and the responsiveness to changes of customers’ needs.
Due to the intense competition in the LED beads and LED lighting products industry in which we
operate, we cannot assure that the selling prices of our certain products are free from downward
pressure. In the event that our competitors lower their products’ prices, we might follow their act in
order to maintain our market shares, competitiveness, or to lower our inventory level. As new
competitors enter into the industry, we may not be able to maintain or expand our sales of LED
lighting products or to continue to compete effectively against current and future competitors. If our
attempts to remain competitive fail and our market share shrinks, our overall performance may be
adversely affected.
Timely settlement by our customers
As at 31 December 2014 and 2015, our total trade and bills receivables was approximately
RMB77.1 million and RMB58.4 million respectively, of which approximately RMB27.9 million and
RMB34.9 million was due from our top five customers respectively over the corresponding period.
There is no assurance that we are able to secure the payments from our customers on a timely
manner. If we are unable to collect payments from our customers before the expiry of the respective
credit period or our customers default on settlement of outstanding balance, there could be a
material effect on the results of our operation and financial condition.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Critical accounting policies and estimates refer to those accounting policies and estimates that
entail significant uncertainty and judgment, and could yield materially different results under
different conditions and/or assumptions. The preparation of the financial information in conformity
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
– 156 –
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED ‘‘WARNING’’ ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
with HKFRSs requires our management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect
the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The
methods and approach that we use in determining these items is based on the Group’s experience,
the nature of the Group’s business operations, the relevant rules and regulations and the relevant
circumstances. These underlying assumptions and estimates are reviewed regularly as they may
have a significant impact on the operational results as reported in the consolidated financial
statements of the Group included elsewhere in this [REDACTED]. Below is a summary of the
accounting policies in accordance with HKFRSs that the Group believes are important to the
presentation of the financial results and involve the need to make estimates and judgments about
the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Group also has other policies, judgments,
estimates and assumptions that our Group considers as significant, which are set out in detail in
notes 5 and 6 to the Accountant’s Report.
Revenue recognition
Our Group derived revenue principally from the (i) sale of LED beads, which is a kind of core
component for backlight LED products; and (ii) sale of LED lighting products for commercial or
consumer use. Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to
the Group and when the revenue can be measured reliably, on the following bases:
(a) from sale of the goods to the customers of the Group, when the products have been
delivered to the customers, and collectability of the related receivable is reasonably
assured; and
(b) for interest income, it is recognised on an accrual basis on the principal outstanding at
the applicable interest rate.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any
impairment losses, if any. The cost of property, plant and equipment includes its purchase price and
the cost directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset,
as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will
flow to our Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the
replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised as an expense in
profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
– 157 –
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED ‘‘WARNING’’ ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated so as to write off their cost or valuation net of
expected residual value over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The useful lives,
residual value and depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each
reporting period. The useful lives are as follows:
Machinery and equipment 3 to 10 years
Motor vehicles 5 years
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 2 to 5 years
Leasehold improvement
Over the shorter of lease term
or useful life
An asset is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if its carrying amount is
higher than the asset’s estimated recoverable amount.
The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is the difference
between the net sale proceeds and its carrying amount, and is recognised in profit or loss on
disposal.
Inventories
The inventories of our Group comprised (i) raw materials used for production; and (ii)
finished goods manufactured by the Group as at 31 December 2014 and 2015. Inventories are
initially recognised at cost, and subsequently valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the
inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the weighted average
method. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less
estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Loans and receivables
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 financial asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When
any part of financial asset is determined as uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance
account for the relevant financial asset.
Impairment loss on financial assets
Our Group assesses, at the end of each reporting period, whether there is any objective
evidence that financial asset is impaired. Financial asset is impaired if there is objective evidence of
impairment as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the
asset and that event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can
be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include: (a) significant financial difficulty of the

debtor; (b) a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
(c) granting concession to a debtor because of debtor’s financial difficulty; or (d) it becoming
probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.

Note: During the Track Record Period, our Group’s LED lighting products were sold to our customers in a total of
six different product types, in which the average selling unit price varied from approximately RMB23.7 to
RMB375.2 for the year ended 31 December 2014 and from approximately RMB14.0 to RMB189.7 for the
year ended 31 December 2015. For details of the product type of our LED lighting products, please refer to
section headed ‘‘Business — Our Group’s products — LED lighting products’’ in this [REDACTED].
Our Group’s revenue is mainly affected by (i) the selling price of each type of our products;
and (ii) demand from our customers on different types of our products. Our Group’s revenue is also
subject to seasonality. During the Track Record Period, our Group typically experienced lower sales
demand and recorded lower sales in first quarter of a calendar year. Our Directors believe that it
was mainly due to the long holiday period during the Chinese New Year holidays in the PRC,
which typically resulted in a decrease in customer orders.

The revenue of our Group increased by approximately 7.9% from approximately RMB110.0
million for the year ended 31 December 2014 to approximately RMB118.7 million for the year
ended 31 December 2015. Such increase in the revenue was mainly due to the increase in revenue
from the sales of LED beads from approximately RMB99.9 million for the year ended 31 December
2014 to approximately RMB115.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2015, and the effect of
which was partially offset by the decrease in revenue from the sales of LED lighting products from
approximately RMB10.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 to approximately RMB3.7
million for the year ended 31 December 2015. The reasons for the above fluctuations are further
discussed as follows:
LED beads
We generated a substantial portion of our revenue from selling our LED beads during the
Track Record Period. For the two years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, sale of our LED beads
were approximately RMB99.9 million and RMB115.0 million, which accounted for approximately
90.8% and 96.9% of its total revenue, respectively. The revenue from selling LED beads increased
by approximately RMB15.1 million or 15.1% from approximately RMB99.9 million for the year
ended 31 December 2014 to approximately RMB115.0 million for the year ended 31 December
2015. The increase was mainly due to the increase in the sales volume of LED beads from
approximately 677.6 million unit in 2014 to approximately 858.4 million unit in 2015
notwithstanding the decrease in average selling price per unit of LED beads primarily driven by
the decrease in costs of the key production materials used. The significant increase in sales volume
of LED beads was primarily attributable to the increase in sales orders placed by two of our top 10
customers during the year ended 31 December 2015, of which one is a manufacturer of LED
modules/panels and the other is a trading company based in the PRC, as a result of their increase in
demand for our LED beads products. The sales orders placed by these two major customers to us
increased by approximately 231.4 million units and 129.0 million units for the year ended 31
December 2015 as compared with the same period in 2014 respectively. The total revenue derived
from these two major customers increased by approximately RMB33.0 million and RMB17.0
million for the year ended 31 December 2015 as compared to their respective sales for the year
ended 31 December 2014, respectively.
LED lighting products
For the two years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, the sales of our LED lighting products
amounted to approximately RMB10.1 million and RMB3.7 million respectively, which represented
approximately 9.2% and 3.1% of our total revenue for the same periods. Revenue from sales of
LED lighting products decreased from approximately RMB10.1 million for the year ended 31
December 2014 to approximately RMB3.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2015. Such
decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in sales of our LED lighting products from
approximately 193,000 units for the year ended 31 December 2014 to approximately 38,000 unit for
the year ended 31 December 2015 because (i) our LED lighting business was still at the
development stage in 2015 and hence our revenue generated from the sales of LED lighting
products were yet to be stable in 2014 and 2015 and we had not expand our customer base by that

time; and (ii) there were substantial decrease in sales orders placed by one of the two customers
during the year ended 31 December 2015. The sales orders we received from such customer
amounted to approximately RMB4.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2014, representing
approximately 47.5% of the total revenue in LED lighting products, while no sales orders were
placed by such customer during the year ended 31 December 2015. To the best knowledge and
belief of our Directors, such customer did not require LED lighting products for its business in
2015. Nevertheless, such customer resumed to place sales orders of our LED lighting products in
the first quarter of 2016.
Cost of sales
During the Track Record Period, our cost of sales primarily consisted of cost of material used,
direct labour and production overheads. The following table sets forth the breakdown of our cost of
sales and their corresponding percentage during the Track Record Period:
Year ended 31 December
2014 2015
RMB’000 % RMB’000 %
Cost of material used 82,675 90.1 81,934 90.3
Direct labour 3,503 3.8 2,756 3.0
Production overheads 5,624 6.1 6,091 6.7
Total 91,802 100.0 90,781 100.0
For the two years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, we recorded cost of sales of
approximately RMB91.8 million and RMB90.8 million, respectively, representing approximately
83.4% and 76.5% of our total revenue for the corresponding year. Notwithstanding the increase in
our revenue by approximately 7.9% for the Track Record Period, our cost of sales slightly
decreased by approximately 1.1% for the year ended 31 December 2015, which led to an increase
in our gross margin increased by approximately 6.9 percentage point from approximately 16.6% for
the year ended 31 December 2014 to 23.5% for the year ended 31 December 2015.

Cost of material used
During the Track Record Period, our cost of material used, which represented the purchase
costs of our production materials for the manufacturing of our Group’s products, was the largest
component of our Group’s cost of sales, which amounted to approximately RMB82.7 million and
RMB81.9 million, representing approximately 90.1% and 90.3% of our total cost of sales for the
two years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, respectively. The table below sets out a breakdown
of our Group’s cost of material used during the Track Record Period:
Year ended 31 December
2014 2015
RMB’000 % RMB’000 %
LED chips 56,419 68.2 66,248 80.9
Gold wires 2,382 2.9 1,014 1.2
Brackets 13,991 16.9 11,852 14.5
Other production materials 9,883 12.0 2,820 3.4
Total 82,675 100.0 81,934 100.0
Note: Other production materials mainly include plastic tapes, phosphors, glue and packaging materials.
During the Track Record Period, our cost of LED chips formed the largest part of our cost ofmaterial used, amounted to approximately RMB56.4 million and RMB66.2 million, representingapproximately 68.2% and 80.9% of our total cost of material used, for the two years ended 31December 2014 and 2015, respectively. According to the CIC Report, LED chips contributed to thehighest percentage of manufacturing cost of LED beads, in which the average price of LED chipsdemonstrated a downward trend with a CAGR of negative 13.2% over the period from 2010 to2015. In this connection, our average unit cost of LED chips decreased by approximately 5.9% forthe year ended 31 December 2015 as compared to the corresponding period in 2014. Despite suchdrop in the average unit price, our cost of LED chips increased by approximately 17.4% fromapproximately RMB56.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 to approximately RMB66.2million for the year ended 31 December 2015, as a result of the increase in the number of salesvolume of LED beads for the year ended 31 December 2015 by approximately 26.7% as comparedto the same for the year ended 31 December 2014.
For the year ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, our cost for the gold wires and brackets usedin aggregate amounted to approximately RMB16.4 million and RMB12.9 million, representingapproximately 19.8% and 15.7% of our total cost of material used, respectively. According to theCIC Report, the average prices for gold wires and brackets had been decreasing with a CAGR ofnegative 1.0% and 14.0% respectively over the period from 2010 to 2015. For the gold wire andbrackets we used for production during the year ended 31 December 2015, the respective averageunit price also decreased by approximately 21.7% and 27.4% as compared to the same in 2014,which in turn, led to a decrease in our cost of gold wires and brackets by approximately 21.4%.

Our other production materials mainly include plastic tapes, phosphors, glue and packagingmaterials, which can be used for production of our LED beads and LED lighting products. Duringthe Track Record Period, our cost of other production materials used amounted to approximatelyRMB9.9 million and RMB2.8 million, representing approximately 12.0% and 3.4% of our total costof material used, for the two years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, respectively. The cost ofother production materials used for the production of our LED beads decreased by approximately66.0% from approximately RMB4.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 to approximatelyRMB1.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2015. Such decrease was mainly attributable tothe decrease in weighted average unit price of the other production materials of approximately43.9% in 2015. On the other hand, the cost of other production materials used for production of ourLED lighting products decreased by approximately 76.9% from approximately RMB5.2 million forthe year ended 31 December 2014 to approximately RMB1.2 million for the year ended 31December 2015 which is in line with the decrease in our revenue of our LED lighting products byapproximately 63.4%.
Direct labour
Direct labour costs mainly represented the salaries, wages and other benefits of our employeesdirectly engaged in the production of both LED beads and LED lighting products. Cost of ourdirect labour as a percentage of our cost of sales was approximately 3.8% and 3.0% for the twoyears ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, respectively. Our direct labour costs decreased byapproximately 21.3% from approximately RMB3.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 toapproximately RMB2.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2015. Such decrease was as aresult of our cost saving measures to streamline the manpower for our production process for LEDbeads and LED lighting products. The decrease in headcount in general for the production of ourLED beads and LED lighting products reduced our direct labour cost. For details of the productionprocess of LED beads and LED lighting products, please see the section headed ‘‘Business —

Gross profit and gross profit margin
For the two years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, our Group’s gross profit amounted toapproximately RMB18.2 million and RMB27.9 million, respectively, and gross profit margin wasapproximately 16.6% and 23.5%, respectively. The following table sets out the breakdown of thegross profit and gross profit margin by product category during the Track Record Period:

LED lighting products 4,684 46.1 2,304 62.0
Total 18,236 16.6 27,925 23.5
Our overall gross profit increased by approximately RMB9.7 million, or approximately 53.1%,
from approximately RMB18.2 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 to approximately
RMB27.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2015, and our gross profit margin also increased
from approximately 16.6% for the year ended 31 December 2014 to approximately 23.5% for the
year ended 31 December 2015.
The gross profit margin of LED beads increased from approximately 13.6% for the year ended
31 December 2014 to approximately 22.3% for the year ended 31 December 2015, which was
mainly due to (i) the decrease in average unit price of LED chips, gold wires and brackets, being
the key production material used for our production of LED beads, in the year ended 31 December
2015 of approximately 21.3% outweighed the decrease in average selling price of LED beads for
the year ended 31 December 2015 of approximately 8.8%; (ii) the average selling price of LED
beads we offered to our customers were generally less responsive to the decrease in price of our
key production material used charged by our suppliers.
The gross profit margin of LED lighting products was higher than LED beads in general
during the Track Record Period, which was mainly attributable to the fact that we use our self-
developed LED beads as the key raw material for the onward production of our LED lighting
products, which lowered our average costs of materials. The gross profit margin of LED lighting
products increased from approximately 46.1% for the year ended 31 December 2014 to
approximately 62.0% for the year ended 31 December 2015, which was primarily attributable to
the increased sales of our LED lighting product models with a higher gross margin for the year
ended 31 December 2015.

million, which was partially offset by (i) repayments of bank borrowings of approximately
RMB18.0 million; and (ii) interest payment of approximately RMB1.3 million.
The cash outflows from financing activities of approximately RMB20.1 million for the year
ended 31 December 2015 was mainly attributable to the repayment of bank borrowings of

The balances of the raw materials increased slightly from approximately RMB4.5 million as at31 December 2014 to approximately RMB4.6 million as at 31 December 2015. Generally, thebalance of raw materials was maintained at similar level as at 31 December 2014 and 2015 as wegenerally maintain 30 to 45 working days of our inventory of major production materials for theproduction of our LED beads for use to ensure that we can meet our major customers’requirements.
The balance of finished goods decreased slightly from approximately RMB17.5 million as at31 December 2014 to approximately RMB16.5 million as at 31 December 2015. Such decrease wasprimarily due to increase in the sales of LED beads in the fourth quarter of 2015 as compared tothat of 2014.
Our inventory turnover days were approximately 76.6 days and 86.5 days, respectively, for thetwo years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015. The longer inventory turnover days for the yearended 31 December 2015 as compared to the year ended 31 December 2014 was mainly due to therelatively low inventory balance as at 31 December 2013, which led to a relatively low averageinventory balance for the year ended 31 December 2014.
As at 30 April 2016, approximately 95.2% of our inventories as at 31 December 2015 weresubsequently utilised or sold.

The adequacy of our inventories is reviewed by the management from time to time. Our policy
on obsolete or damaged inventories is to write off such inventories when the management considers
the obsolete or damaged inventories to have no residual value.
In addition, impairment of inventories would be made should the management decide that the
current level of provision is inadequate. We had written off approximately RMB1.3 million of
inventory for the year ended 31 December 2014 due to the fact that we had produced a batch of
LED beads in early 2014 which were originally used for onward production of backlight LED
products. However, the brightness/color temperature of such LED beads when assembled into the
LED lighting products was not satisfied by our management, and therefore such batch of LED
beads, where the size and specification were different from what we normally produced, had been
written off. There was no inventory being written off for the year ended 31 December 2015 as we
had not experienced any significant damage or loss in respect of the inventories throughout the
year.
Trade and bills receivables
As at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2015, our trade and bills receivables of our Group
amounted to approximately RMB77.1 million and RMB58.4 million, respectively. The following

The balance of our trade and bills receivables decreased from approximately RMB77.1 million
as at 31 December 2014 to approximately RMB58.4 million as at 31 December 2015. Our trade
receivable turnover days also decreased from approximately 242.2 days for the year ended 31
December 2014 to approximately 208.3 days for the year ended 31 December 2015. Despite our
credit terms generally ranged from 30 to 90 day, due to the delays by certain customers in settling
our trade receivables during the Track Record Period as evidenced by the amount of past due trade
receivables as at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2015, our trade receivable turnover days for
the Track Record Period were longer than the general credit terms offered to our customers.
Nevertheless, we recorded decreases in the balance and turnover days of trade and bills
receivables which were mainly due to improvement of our credit control management of trade and
bill receivables which we believe to be achieved by more progressive liaison and follow up by our
staff on overdue balances, so that collections of the amount of trade and bills receivables due from
our customers and the turnover day were improved.
The provision for impairment of trade receivables related to trade receivables which we
considered to be impaired based on the low likelihood of collectability from our customers. As at
31 December 2014 and 2015, approximately RMB2.3 million and RMB2.5 million, representing
approximately 2.8% and 4.1% of our gross trade and bills receivables, respectively, were provided
for impairment. These were mainly due to two on-going legal proceedings with our Group which
are related to contractual disputes instituted by Zhuhai HongGuang whereby (i) Zhuhai HongGuang
as plaintiff instituted legal proceedings to claim against one existing customer and one former
customer as defendants for the repayment of an outstanding sum of approximately RMB0.8 million
in May 2015; and (ii) Zhuhai HongGuang as plaintiff instituted legal proceedings to claim against a
customer as defendant for the repayment of an outstanding sum of approximately RMB0.6 million
with interests for the lighting products supplied to such customer. The remaining amounts are
considered irrecoverable by our management after consideration on the credit quality of those
customers, their ongoing relationships with our Group and the aging of these receivables. For
details, please refer to the section headed ‘‘Business — litigations — on-going legal proceedings’’
in this [REDACTED]. As at 31 May 2016, approximately 83.9% of our Group’s trade and bills
receivables as at 31 December 2015 were subsequently settled.

Prepayments and other receivables
As at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2015, we had advance to a Shareholder, other
receivables and prepayments of approximately RMB2.7 million and RMB7.0 million, respectively.
The following table sets out a breakdown of our prepayments and other receivables as at 31

As at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2015, our prepayments mainly represented
prepayment to suppliers for the purchase of raw materials and prepayment for [REDACTED]
expenses. The balance increased from approximately RMB1.6 million as at 31 December 2014 to
approximately RMB6.8 million as at 31 December 2015, which was mainly attributable to (i) the
prepayment of [REDACTED] expenses of approximately RMB[REDACTED] as at 31 December
2015 for deduction from equity upon [REDACTED]; and (ii) the increase in the prepayment to one
of our major suppliers for the purchase of LED chips by approximately RMB5.7 million at the year
end of 2015 so as to secure our purchase order in order to meet the increasing demand of our LED
beads.
Trade payables
Our trade payables amounted to approximately RMB29.3 million and RMB27.7 million as at
31 December 2014 and 31 December 2015, respectively. The following tables set out our trade

Note: Trade payables turnover days are calculated by dividing the average trade payables balance by cost of sales
for the relevant year multiplied by the number of days during the year (i.e. 365 days for each of the two
years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015). Average trade payables balance is the average of the beginning
and ending trade payables balances for the relevant year.
During the Track Record Period, our Group is generally required to pay the purchase price for
the production materials within 30 to 120 days to our suppliers. Payment of purchase price for the
production materials is generally made by bank transfers or bank acceptance bills issued by or
endorsed to us by our customers and settled in RMB. For details of the typical payment term with
our five largest suppliers during the Track Record Period, see the section headed ‘‘Business — Our
Group’s top five suppliers’’ in this [REDACTED].
Our balance of trade payables slightly decreased from approximately RMB29.3 million as at
31 December 2014 to approximately RMB27.7 million as at 31 December 2015. Such decrease was
mainly due to the substantial amount of settlement we made due to our suppliers before the year
end of 2015 and hence lower our trade payable balance as at 31 December 2015.
On the other hand, trade payables turnover days were relatively stable and only decreased
from approximately 134.9 days for the year ended 31 December 2014 to approximately 114.6 days
for the year ended 31 December 2015, which was mainly due to the reasons mentioned above in
respect of the decrease in our trade payable balance as at 31 December 2015 as compared to the
corresponding period in 2014.
The following table sets out an ageing analysis of our trade payables as at 31 December 2014
and 31 December 2015 based on invoice date:

2015 were subsequently settled.

Other payables and accruals
As at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2015, we had other payables and accruals of
approximately RMB34.4 million and RMB20.6 million, respectively. The following table sets out a
breakdown of the balance as at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2015:
As at 31 December

Other payables and accruals 2,800 3,834
Other tax payables 4,853 1,534
Total 34,421 20,555
The amount due to a related company represented the advance from Zhuhai Wenjian, the then
shareholder of Zhuhai HongGuang and it was fully settled in 2015. The amount due to the
Shareholders was mainly originated from the non-interest bearing advances provided by our
Shareholders to our Group in meeting our working capital requirements during the Track Record
Period. These aforesaid amounts were unsecured, interest free and repayable on demand.
All the outstanding amounts due from and to shareholders will be fully settled or capitalised
prior to [REDACTED].
Other payables and accruals mainly comprised of provisions for social insurance and penalty
and the rent and utility payables to Zhuhai Lijia. The increase from approximately RMB2.8 million
as at 31 December 2014 to approximately RMB3.8 million was mainly due to (i) the increase in the
provision we made for social insurance and penalty of approximately RMB0.4 million for the year
ended 31 December 2015 and (ii) the increase in rent and utility payable of approximately RMB0.2
million for the year ended 31 December 2015.
Other tax payables mainly comprised of value-added tax (‘‘VAT’’) payable, which decreased
from approximately RMB4.9 million as at 31 December 2014 to approximately RMB1.5 million as
at 31 December 2015. The amount of VAT payable was affected by the amounts of sales and
purchases invoiced near the end of each reporting period and the decrease in VAT payable as at 31
December 2015 was primarily due to the increase in purchases near the year end of 2015 as
compared to the same period in 2014.

Net profit margin before interest and tax and net profit margin
Net profit margin before interest and tax increased from approximately 8.3% for the year
ended 31 December 2014 to approximately 11.6% for the year ended 31 December 2015, mainly
due to the increase in revenue and gross profit margin for the year ended 31 December 2015 as
compared to that for the year ended 31 December 2014, the effect of which was mitigated by the
[REDACTED] expenses of approximately RMB[REDACTED] recognised for the year ended 31
December 2015. Excluding the [REDACTED] expenses, our Group’s net profit margin before
interest and tax would have improved to approximately 14.8% for the year ended 31 December 2015.
Net profit margin increased from approximately 4.9% for the year ended 31 December 2014 to
approximately 6.5% for the year ended 31 December 2015. The relatively lesser increase in net
profit margin as compared to the net profit margin before interest and tax was mainly due to (i) the
increase in effective tax rate for the year ended 31 December 2015 as a result of the non-deductible
[REDACTED] expenses; and (ii) the slight increase in finance cost for bank borrowings. Excluding
the [REDACTED] expenses, our Group would have recorded net profit margin of approximately
9.7% for the year ended 31 December 2015, reflecting the increases in revenue and gross profit
margin.
Return on equity
Return on equity increased from approximately 12.8% for the year ended 31 December 2014
to approximately 14.5% for the year ended 31 December 2015. Such increase was mainly
attributable to (i) the increase in our net profit as a result of the increase in revenue and gross profit
margin for the year ended 31 December 2015 as compared to that for the year ended 31 December
2014; and (ii) the increase in net profit of approximately 43.2% prevailed over the increase in total
equity of approximately 25.8% from 31 December 2014 to 31 December 2015 and thus resulting in
the increase in the return on equity from the year ended 31 December 2014 to the year ended 31
December 2015.
Return on total assets
Return on total assets increased from approximately 4.2% for the year ended 31 December
2014 to approximately 7.0% for the year ended 31 December 2015. Such increase was mainly due
to (i) the decrease in total assets as a result of the decreases in trade and bill receivables, property,
plant and equipment and deferred tax assets; and (ii) the increase in our net profit as a result of the
increase in revenue and gross profit margin for the year ended 31 December 2015 as compared to
that for the year ended 31 December 2014.
Current ratio and quick ratio
Current ratio and quick ratio increased from approximately 1.3 and 1.0 as at 31 December
2014 to approximately 1.6 and 1.3 as at 31 December 2015, respectively, primarily due to decrease
in current liabilities of approximately 33.7% from the year ended 31 December 2014 to the year
ended 31 December 2015 outweighed the decrease in current assets of approximately 14.3% from

31 December 2014 to 31 December 2015 (taking into account our inventories balances remained
stable as at the respective years end) and thus resulting in the increase in the current ratio and quick
ratio from the year ended 31 December 2014 to the year ended 31 December 2015.
Gearing ratio and net debt to equity ratio
Gearing ratio decreased from approximately 100.8% as at 31 December 2014 to approximately
39.2% as at 31 December 2015 due to (i) the decrease in bank borrowings of approximately
RMB9.0 million from 31 December 2014 to 31 December 2015; and (ii) the decrease in amount due
to the Controlling Shareholders of approximately RMB11.5 million from the year ended 31
December 2014 to the year ended 31 December 2015.
Debt to equity ratio decreased from approximately 82.0% as at 31 December 2014 to
approximately 24.8% as at 31 December 2015. The debt to equity ratio decreased at a larger extent
than gearing ratio mainly due to (i) the decrease in bank borrowings of approximately 52.9%; and
(ii) the decrease in amount due to the Controlling Shareholders of approximately 47.2% from the
year ended 31 December 2014 to the year ended 31 December 2015 outweighed the decrease in
cash and cash equivalents of approximately 4.0% from 31 December 2014 to 31 December 2015
and thus resulting in the decrease in the debt to equity ratio from the year ended 31 December 2014
to the year ended 31 December 2015.
Interest coverage
Interest coverage increased from approximately 7.0 times for the year ended 31 December
2014 to approximately 9.6 times for the year ended 31 December 2015. Such increase was mainly
due to the increase in net profit before interest and tax, while the finance costs remained stable for
the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015.

SENSITIVITY AND BREAKEVEN ANALYSIS
Sensitivity analysis
Our cost of sales mainly comprised the cost of material used, which represented the purchase
costs of materials used for the manufacturing of our Group’s products, which amounted to
approximately RMB82.7 million and RMB81.9 million for the two years ended 31 December 2015,
respectively, representing approximately 90.1% and 90.3% of the total cost of sales respectively.
Any material fluctuation in our cost of material used which we cannot reflect in the prices offered
to our customers may affect the result of our operations. A hypothetical sensitivity analysis on the
approximate impact of 5%, 10% and 15% changes in cost of material used with all other variables
remain constant, on our profit for each year during the Track Record Period is illustrated below:
Increase/(decrease) in net profit
Year ended 31 December
2014 2015
RMB’000 RMB’000
Increase 5% (2,842) (2,573)
Decrease 5% 2,842 2,573
Increase 10% (5,684) (5,146)
Decrease 10% 5,684 5,146
Increase 15% (8,526) (7,719)
Decrease 15% 8,526 7,719
Breakeven analysis
For the year ended 31 December 2014, it is estimated that, holding all other variables
constant, with an increase in cost of material used of approximately 9.5%, our Group would achieve
breakeven.
For the year ended 31 December 2015, it is estimated that, holding all other variables
constant, with an increase in cost of material used of approximately 15.0%, our Group would
achieve breakeven.
PROPERTY INTERESTS
Our Group leased one property in the PRC as use for office and factory as at the Latest
Practicable Date, please refer to the section headed ‘‘Business — Property’’ in this [REDACTED].

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
Historical capital expenditures
During the Track Record Period, our Group’s capital expenditure primarily comprised (i)
purchase of property, plant and equipment of approximately RMB0.2 million and RMB0.2 million
for the two years ended 31 December 2015, respectively. Our Group principally funded its capital
expenditures through internal resources.
Planned capital expenditures
Save for the planned usage of the net proceeds from the [REDACTED] as disclosed in
‘‘Future Plans and Use of Proceeds’’ and the additions of property, plant and equipment necessary
for our business operations which will be made by our Group from time to time, our Group had no
material planned capital expenditures as at the Latest Practicable Date.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
Operating lease commitments
During the Track Record Period, we leased certain of our office premises under operating
lease arrangement. The leases for the aforesaid properties are negotiated for terms ranging from
three to ten years. As at 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2015, our Group had the following
future minimum rental payable under operating leases:
As at 31 December
2014 2015
RMB’000 RMB’000
Not later than 1 year — 390
Later than 1 year but no later than 5 years — 1,559
Later than 5 years — 1,656
Total — 3,605
The operating lease commitments increased from nil as at 31 December 2014 to approximately
RMB3.6 million as at 31 December 2015, which was mainly due to our Group (as leasee) entered a
tenancy agreement with Zhuhai Lijia (as landlord) during the year ended 31 December 2015,
pursuant to which our Group leased a property (comprising office and factory) and shall pay a
monthly rental fee of RMB32,475 to Zhuhai Lijia.

DISTRIBUTABLE RESERVES
Under the Companies Law, we may pay dividends out of our profit or our share premium
account in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Association, provided that, in the case
of dividends to be paid out of our share premium account, immediately following the date on which
the dividend is proposed to be distributed, we remain able to pay our debts as and when they fall
due in the ordinary course of business. Our Company was incorporated on 27 May 2015 and there
was no distributable reserve as at 31 December 2015.
DIVIDEND
During the Track Record Period and up to the Latest Practicable Date, we had not distributed
any dividends to the then equity holders of our Group. Our Company had no plan to pay or declare
any dividends prior to the [REDACTED]. We do not intend to determine any expected dividend
payout ratio at this time since our priority is to use the earnings for business development and expansion
of our production capability and customer base in the interests of our Shareholders as a whole.
Pursuant to Companies Law and the Articles, our Company, through a general meeting,
declare the payment and any amount of dividends recommended by the Board. The payment and the
amount of any dividends will depend upon future business operations and earnings, capital
requirements, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors. After
completion of the [REDACTED], the Shareholders will be entitled to receive dividends that our
Company declared.
Future dividend payments will also depend upon the availability of dividends our Company
will receive from our operating subsidiary in the PRC. PRC laws require that dividends be paid
only out of the net profit calculated according to PRC accounting principles, which differ in many
aspects from the generally accepted accounting principles in other jurisdictions, including HKFRSs.
PRC laws also require foreign investment enterprises to set aside part of their net profit as statutory

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument
will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
Our Group is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate bank balances and bank
borrowings. Interests charged on our Group’s borrowings are at variable rates. Our Group currently
does not have a policy on cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. However, the management
monitors interest rate exposure and will consider hedging significant interest rate risk should the
need arise.
Our Group is also exposed to fair value interest rate risk in relation to the short-term bank
deposits. However, management considers the interest rate risk on the deposits is insignificant as
they are relatively short-term. The management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider
hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arise.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Credit risk
Our Group trades mainly with recognised and creditworthy third parties. It is our Group’s
policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification
procedures. Our Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual
characteristics of each customer. The default risk of the industry in which customers operate also
has an influence on credit risk but to a lesser extent. At the end of 31 December 2014 and 2015,
our Group has a certain concentration of credit risk as 36% and 60% of the total trade receivables
were due from the five largest customers respectively. In order to minimise the credit risk, our
Group has delegated a team responsible for determination of monitory procedures to ensure that
follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, our Group reviews the recoverable
amount of each individual transaction and other receivables regularly to ensure that adequate
impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, our Directors consider that
our Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.
The credit risk of our Group’s other financial assets, which comprise cash and cash
equivalents, other receivables and advance to a shareholder, arises from default of the counterparty,
with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Since our Group
trades only with recognised and creditworthy third parties, there is no requirement for collateral.
Liquidity risk
Our Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility
through the use of borrowings. Our Group regularly reviews our major funding positions to ensure
that we have adequate financial resources in meeting our financial obligations. The maturity profile
of our Group’s financial liabilities as at each of the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, based
on the contractual undiscounted payments, as less than one year. The discounting impact of our
Group’s financial liabilities is insignificant. Taking into account the cash inflow from operations of
our Group, our Directors believe that our Group has sufficient resources to meet our debt
obligations with banks and working capital needs.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE
As far as we are aware, the growth of backlight LED bead market in the PRC remained steady
after the Track Record Period and there was no material adverse change in our market share in
terms of sales value up to the Latest Practicable Date.
Based on the unaudited financial information of our Group, our revenue for the four months
ended 30 April 2016 had increased moderately as compared to that of the correspondence period in
2015, which was mainly due to the facts that (i) we have continued to focus on production of LED
beads for small-sized and medium-sized backlight LED products with different specifications; and
(ii) there were no significant changes to the general business model of our Group and economic
environment save for the renovation works in our Zhuhai HongGuang Production Plant for
expansion of our production capacities as described in the section headed ‘‘Business — Business
Strategies’’ in this [REDACTED], which had been approved by the Environmental Protection

Bureau of Xiangzhou. On the other hand, the average purchase price of LED chips had increased
slightly for the four months ended 30 April 2016. In this connection, our prepayments relating to
the purchase of LED chips from our major suppliers have been increased during the 1st quarter of
2016 as compared to the 4th quarter of 2015 to secure our purchase order in order to meet the
increasing demand of our LED beads.
Save as disclosed above, our Directors confirm that, up to the Latest Practicable Date, there
had been no material adverse change in our financial or trading position since 31 December 2015
which would materially affect the information shown in the Accountant’s Report in Appendix I to
this [REDACTED].

REASONS FOR THE [REDACTED]
Our Directors believe that the [REDACTED] of the Shares on GEM will enhance our Group’s
profile and the net proceeds from the [REDACTED] will strengthen our financial position and will
enable our Group to implement our business strategies set out in the sections headed ‘‘Business —
Business Strategies’’ and ‘‘Future Plans and Use of Proceeds’’ in this [REDACTED]. Furthermore, a
public [REDACTED] status on the Stock Exchange can (i) strengthen our Group’s reputation,
credibility and competitiveness to facilitate the expansion of geographical coverage in the PRC and
the overseas market; and (ii) enhance the capability in both debt and equity financing for future
expansion of our business.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Based on the [REDACTED] of HK$[REDACTED] per [REDACTED], being the mid-point of
the indicative [REDACTED] range of HK$[REDACTED] per [REDACTED] to HK$[REDACTED]
per [REDACTED], we will receive a gross proceeds of approximately HK$60.0 million. The net
FUTURE PLANS AND USE OF PROCEEDS
– 200 –

proceeds from the [REDACTED] are estimated to be approximately HK$[REDACTED], after
deducting the underwriting commission and other estimated expenses payable by our Company in
relation to the [REDACTED]. We intend to apply such net proceeds from the [REDACTED] as
follows:
. approximately HK$[REDACTED], representing approximately [REDACTED]% of thenet proceeds from the [REDACTED], will be used for expansion of our Group’sproduction capacity;
. approximately HK$[REDACTED], representing approximately [REDACTED]% of thenet proceeds from the [REDACTED], will be used for developing our Group’s saleschannels;
. approximately HK$[REDACTED], representing approximately [REDACTED]% of thenet proceeds from the [REDACTED], will be used for the repayment of bank loans. Forfurther details, see the section headed ‘‘Financial Information — Indebtedness — Bankborrowings’’; and
. approximately HK$[REDACTED], representing approximately [REDACTED]% of thenet proceeds from the [REDACTED], will be used as general working capital of ourGroup.
The above allocation of the net proceeds from the [REDACTED] will be adjusted on a prorata basis in the event that the [REDACTED] is fixed at a higher level or a lower level compared tothe mid-point of the indicative [REDACTED] range.
If the final [REDACTED] is set at the highest or lowest point of the indicative [REDACTED]range, the net proceeds to be received by us from the [REDACTED] will increase or decrease byapproximately HK$[REDACTED], respectively. In such event, save for the repayment of bankloans, the net proceeds will be used in the same proportions as disclosed above irrespective ofwhether the [REDACTED] is determined at the highest or lowest of the indicative [REDACTED]range.
To the extent that the net proceeds from the [REDACTED] are not immediately required forthe above purposes, it is the present intention of our Directors that such net proceeds will be placedas short-term deposits with authorised banks and/or financial institutions in Hong Kong. OurDirectors consider that the net proceeds from the [REDACTED] together with the internal resourcesof our Group will be sufficient to finance the implementation of our Group’s business plans as setout in the paragraph headed ‘‘Implementation plan’’ in this section.
Investors should be aware that any part of the business plans of our Group may or may notproceed according to the timeframe as described under the paragraph headed ‘‘Implementationplan’’ in this section due to various factors such as changes in customers’ demand and changes inmarket conditions. Under such circumstances, our Directors will evaluate carefully the situationsand will hold the funds as short-term deposits in authorised banks and/or financial institutions inHong Kong until the relevant business plan materialises.
Our Company will issue an appropriate announcement if there is any material change in theabovementioned use of proceeds.

other than the Reorganisation described in the section headed ‘‘History, Reorganisation and Corporate Structure’’ in
the [REDACTED].
APPENDIX I ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT
– I-8 –
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED ‘‘WARNING’’ ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
Notes:
1. No statutory audited financial statements have been prepared for these subsidiaries since the date of its
incorporation as there are no statutory requirements and the subsidiaries have not yet been involved in
any significant business transactions.
2. No statutory audited financial statements have been prepared as the subsidiary was incorporated on 31
October 2014.
3. The statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 and 2015 were audited by
珠海安德信會計師事務所(普通合夥), certified public accountants registered in the PRC. These
statutory financial statements were prepared in accordance with the relevant accounting rules and
financial regulations applicable to the enterprise registered in the PRC.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Prior to the incorporation of the Company and the completion of the Reorganisation, the [REDACTED]
Business was carried on by companies now comprising the Group (hereinafter collectively referred to as the
‘‘Operating Companies’’).
Pursuant to a group reorganisation as more fully explained in the subsection headed ‘‘Reorganisation’’ in the
section headed ‘‘History, Reorganisation and Corporate Structure’’ to the [REDACTED] (the ‘‘Reorganisation’’), the
Company became the holding company of the companies now comprising the Group on 5 October 2015 by way of
share swaps with the existing ultimate controlling shareholders (i.e. Mr. Zhao Yi Wen, Mr. Lin Qi Jian and Mr. Chiu
Kwai San).
Immediately prior to and after the Reorganisation, the [REDACTED] Business is held by the Operating
Companies. Pursuant to the Reorganisation, the Operating Companies together with the [REDACTED] Business are
transferred to and held by the Company. The share swaps have no substance and do not form a business
combination, and accordingly, the Financial Information of the Company was consolidated with that of the operating
subsidiaries using the predecessor carrying amounts. The Reorganisation is therefore merely a reorganisation of the
[REDACTED] Business and does not constitute a business combination, as if the group structure under the
Reorganisation had been in existence throughout the Relevant Periods or since the respective dates of incorporation
of the entities now comprising the Group, whichever is the shorter period.
The consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and
consolidated statements of cash flows of the Group for the Relevant Periods have been prepared using the financial
information of the entities now comprising the Group, as if the current group structure had been in existence
throughout the Relevant Periods, or since the respective dates of incorporation of the relevant entities now
comprising the Group where this is a shorter period. The consolidated statements of financial position of the Group
as at 31 December 2014 and 2015 have been prepared to present the assets and liabilities of the entities now
comprising the Group which were in existence at those dates, as if the current group structure had been in existence
as at the respective dates. The net assets and results of the Group were consolidated using the carrying value from
the perspective of the ultimate controlling shareholders. All significant intra-group transactions and balances have
been eliminated on consolidation.
3. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with the basis of presentation set out in Note 2 of
Section II and the accounting policies set out below, which conform to HKFRSs (which collective term includes all
applicable individual Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards and
Interpretations) issued by the HKICPA and applicable disclosure provisions of the GEM Listing Rules throughout
the Relevant Periods. All HKFRSs effective for accounting period commencing from 1 January 2015 together with
the relevant transitional provisions have been early adopted by the Group in the preparation of the Financial
Information throughout the Relevant Periods.
APPENDIX I ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT
– I-9 –
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED ‘‘WARNING’’ ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
At the date of this report, HKICPA has issued certain new or amended HKFRSs that have been issued but are
not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Group. Details of which are set out in Note 4.
The Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost basis. Item included in the Financial
Information of each of the Group’s companies are measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entities operate. The functional currency and presentation currency of the Group are RMB,
which the directors considered is more beneficial to the users of the Financial Information.
It should be noted that accounting estimates and assumptions are used in the preparation of the Financial
Information. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge and judgment of current events
and actions, actual results may ultimately different from those estimates. The areas involving higher degree of
judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Financial Information are
disclosed in Note 6.
4. NEW/REVISED HKFRSs ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE
The Group has not early adopted the following new/revised HKFRSs, which have been issued potentially
relevant to the Group, but are not yet effective, in the preparation of the Financial Information.
Amendments to HKAS 16
and HKAS 38
Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation1
HKFRS 9 (2014) Financial Instruments2
HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers2
HKFRS 16 Leases3
1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 20162 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 20183 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019
Amendments to HKAS 16 and HKAS 38 — Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation andAmortisation
The amendments to HKAS 16 prohibit the use of a revenue-based depreciation method for items of
property, plant and equipment. The amendments to HKAS 38 introduce a rebuttable presumption that
amortisation based on revenue is not appropriate for intangible assets. This presumption can be rebutted if
either the intangible asset is expressed as a measure of revenue or revenue and the consumption of the
economic benefits of the intangible asset are highly correlated.
HKFRS 9 (2014) — Financial Instruments
The HKFRS 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets.
Debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect
contractual cash flows (the business model test) and that have contractual terms that give rise to cash flows
that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding (the contractual cash
flow characteristics test) are generally measured at amortised cost. Debt instruments that meet the contractual
cash flow characteristics test are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (‘‘FVTOCI’’) if
the objective of the entity’s business model is both to hold and collect the contractual cash flows and to sell
the financial assets. Entities may make an irrevocable election at initial recognition to measure equity
instruments that are not held for trading at FVTOCI. All other debt and equity instruments are measured at
fair value through profit or loss (‘‘FVTPL’’).
HKFRS 9 includes a new expected loss impairment model for all financial assets not measured at
FVTPL replacing the incurred loss model in HKAS 39 and new general hedge accounting requirements to
allow entities to better reflect their risk management activities in financial statements.

HKFRS 15 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The new standard establishes a single revenue recognition framework. The core principle of the
framework is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to
customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange
for those goods and services. HKFRS 15 supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance including HKAS
18 Revenue, HKAS 11 Construction Contracts and related interpretations.
HKFRS 15 requires the application of a 5 steps approach to revenue recognition:
. Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
. Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
. Step 3: Determine the transaction price
. Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation
. Step 5: Recognise revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied
HKFRS 15 includes specific guidance on particular revenue related topics that may change the current
approach taken under HKFRS. The standard also significantly enhances the qualitative and quantitative
disclosures related to revenue.
HKFRS 16 — Leases
HKFRS 16 requires lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for most leases. Under the new standard, a
lease is a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an identified asset for a period of time
in exchange for consideration. A contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset if,
throughout the period of use, the customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits
from the use of the identified asset and direct the use of the identified asset. Lessees are required to initially
recognise a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payment and a right-of-use for the right to use the
identified asset for the lease term. Subsequently, lessees accrete the lease liability to reflect interest and
reduce the liability to reflect lease payments made. The related right-of-use asset is depreciated in accordance
with the depreciation requirement s of HKAS 16 ‘‘Property, plant and Equipment’’. For lessors, there is a little
change to the existing accounting in HKAS17 ‘‘Leases’’.
The Group has already commenced an assessment of the impact of adopting the above standards and
amendments to existing standards to the Group. The Group is not yet in a position to state whether these new
pronouncements will result in substantial changes to the Group’s accounting policies and financial
performance of the Group.
5. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an investee over which the Company is able to exercise control. The Company controls
an investee if all three of the following elements are present: power over the investee, exposure, or rights, to
variable returns from the investee, and the ability to use its power to affect those variable returns. Control is
reassessed whenever facts and circumstances indicate that there may be a change in any of these elements of
control.
In the Company’s statement of financial position, investment in subsidiaries is stated at cost less
impairment loss, if any. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividend
received and receivable.

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment
losses. The cost of property, plant and equipment includes its purchase price and the cost directly attributable
to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as
appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the
Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is
derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised as an expense in profit or loss during the
financial period in which they are incurred.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated so as to write off their cost or valuation net of expected
residual value over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The useful lives, residual value and
depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. The useful
lives are as follows:
Machinery and equipment 3–10 years
Motor vehicles 5 years
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 2–5 years
Leasehold improvement Over the shorter of lease term or useful life
An asset is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if its carrying amount is higher than
the asset’s estimated recoverable amount.
The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the
net sale proceeds and its carrying amount, and is recognised in profit or loss on disposal.
(c) Financial instruments
(i) Financial assets
The Group’s financial assets are classified as loans and receivables. The classification depends on
the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. The
financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to
the acquisition of the financial assets. Regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised
and derecognised on a trade date basis. A regular way purchase or sale is a purchase or sale of a
financial asset under a contract whose terms require delivery of the asset within the time frame
established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable
payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise principally through the provision of
goods and services to customers (trade receivables), and also incorporate other types of
contractual monetary asset. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are carried at amortised cost
using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses.

(ii) Impairment loss on financial assets
The Group assesses, at the end of each reporting period, whether there is any objective evidence
that financial asset is impaired. Financial asset is impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment
as a result of one or more events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that
event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be reliably
estimated. Evidence of impairment may include:
. significant financial difficulty of the debtor;
. a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
. granting concession to a debtor because of debtor’s financial difficulty; or
. it becoming probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial
reorganisation.
Loans and receivables
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 financial asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When
any part of financial asset is determined as uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance
account for the relevant financial asset.
Impairment losses are reversed in subsequent periods when an increase in the asset’s
recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was
recognised, subject to a restriction 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.
(iii) Financial liabilities
The Group classifies its financial liabilities, depending on the purpose for which the liabilities
were incurred.
The Group’s financial liabilities at amortised cost including trade and other payables, borrowings
and other monetary liabilities, are initially recognised at fair value, net of directly attributable
transaction cost incurred, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest
method. The related interest expense is recognised in profit or loss.
Gain or losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as
through the amortisation process.
(iv) Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or
financial liability and of allocating interest income or interest expenses over the relevant periods. The
effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments
through the expected life of the financial asset or liability, or where appropriate, a shorter period.

THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED ‘‘WARNING’’ ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
(v) Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct
issue costs.
(vi) Derecognition
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the future cash flows in
relation to the financial asset expire or when the financial asset has been transferred and the transfer
meets the criteria for derecognition in accordance with HKAS 39.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is
discharged, cancelled or expires.
(d) Inventories
Inventories are initially recognised at cost, and subsequently valued at the lower of cost and net
realisable value. Cost comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing
the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the weighted average method.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of
completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(e) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs attributable directly to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets
which require a substantial period of time to be ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of
the cost of those assets. Income earned on temporary investments of specific borrowings pending their
expenditure on those assets is deducted from borrowing costs capitalised. All other borrowing costs are
recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
(f) Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks
and rewards of ownership to lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
The Group as lessee
The total rentals payable under the operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight
line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integrated part of the total
rental expense, over the term of the lease.
(g) Impairment of assets (other than financial assets)
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of the following assets to
determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss or an impairment
loss previously recognised no longer exists or may have decreased:
. property, plant and equipment; and
. investment in subsidiaries
If the recoverable amount (i.e. the greater of the fair value less costs of disposal and value in use) 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.
APPENDIX I ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT
– I-14 –
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED ‘‘WARNING’’ ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the
revised estimate of its recoverable amount, to the extent 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.
Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset or cash
generating unit, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or cash generating unit.
(h) Foreign currency
Transactions entered into by group entities in currencies other than the currency of the primary
economic environment in which they operate (the ‘‘functional currency’’) are recorded at the rates ruling when
the transactions occur. Foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the rates ruling at the
end of each reporting period. 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 translation 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 except for
differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are
recognised in other comprehensive income, in which case, the exchange differences are also recognised in
other comprehensive income.
On consolidation, income and expense items of foreign operations are translated into the presentation
currency of the Group (i.e. RMB) at the average exchange rates for the relevant period, unless exchange rates
fluctuate significantly during the period, in which case, the rates approximating to those ruling when the
transactions took place are used. All assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at the rate ruling
at the end of each reporting period. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other
comprehensive income and accumulated in equity as exchange reserve (attributed to minority interests as
appropriate). Exchange differences recognised in profit or loss of group entities’ separate financial statements
on the translation of long-term monetary items forming part of the Group’s net investment in the foreign
operation concerned are reclassified to other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity as exchange
reserve.
On disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative exchange differences recognised in the exchange
reserve relating to that operation up to the date of disposal are reclassified to profit or loss as part of the
profit or loss on disposal.
(i) Government grants
Government grants are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant
will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them. Grants that compensate
the Group for expenses incurred are recognised as revenue in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same
periods in which the expenses are incurred. Grants that compensate the Group for the cost of an asset are
deducted from the carrying amount of the asset and consequently are effectively recognised in profit or loss
over the useful life of the asset by way of reduced depreciation expense.
(j) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and deposits held at call with banks and other short-
term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, are subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value, and have a short maturity of generally within three months when
acquired, which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management.

THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED ‘‘WARNING’’ ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
(k) Income tax expense
Income taxes for the year comprise current tax and deferred tax.
Current tax is based on the profit or loss from ordinary activities adjusted for items that are non-
assessable or disallowable for income tax purposes and is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the end of reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for tax purposes. Except
for goodwill and recognised assets and liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profits, deferred
tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the
extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences
can be utilised. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates appropriate to the expected manner in which the
carrying amount of the asset or liability is realised or settled and that have been enacted or substantively
enacted at the end of reporting period.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on 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.
Income taxes are recognised in profit or loss except when they relate to items recognised in other
comprehensive income in which case the taxes are also recognised in other comprehensive income or when
they related to items recognised directly in equity in which case the taxes are also recognised directly in
equity.
(l) Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and when
the revenue can be measured reliably, on the following bases:
(a) from the sale of goods, when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been
transferred to the buyer, provided that the Group maintains neither managerial involvement to the
degree usually associated with ownership, nor effective control over the goods sold; and
(b) interest income, on an accrual basis on the principal outstanding at the applicable interest rate.
(m) Employee benefits
(i) Pension scheme
The subsidiaries established and operating in PRC are required to provide certain staff pension
benefits to their employees under existing regulations of the PRC. Pension scheme contributions are
provided at rates stipulated by PRC regulations and are made to a pension fund managed by
government agencies, which are responsible for administering the contributions for the subsidiaries’
employees. The contributions are charged to profit or loss as they become payable in accordance with
the rules of the central pension scheme.
(ii) Short term employee benefits
Short term employee benefits are employee benefits (other than termination benefits) that are
expected to be settled wholly before twelve months after the end of the annual reporting period in
which the employees render the related service. Short term employee benefits are recognised in the year
when the employees render the related service.

(iii) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are recognised on the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the
offer of those benefits and when the Group recognises restructuring costs involving the payment of
termination benefits.
(n) Provisions and contingent liabilities
Provisions are recognised for liabilities of uncertain timing or amount when the Group has a legal or
constructive obligation arising as a result of a past event, which it is probable will result in an outflow of
economic benefits that can be reasonably estimated.
Where it is not probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required, or the amount cannot be
estimated reliably, the obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability, unless the probability of outflow of
economic benefits is remote. Possible obligations, the existence of which will only be confirmed by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events, are also disclosed as contingent liabilities unless
the probability of outflow of economic benefits is remote.
(o) Related parties
(a) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to the Group if that person:
(i) has control or joint control over the Group;
(ii) has significant influence over the Group; or
(iii) is a member of the key management personnel of the Group or the Company’s parent.
(b) An entity is related to the Group if any of the following conditions apply:
(i) The entity and the Group are members of the same group (which means that each parent,
subsidiary and fellow subsidiary is related to the others);
(ii) One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity (or an associate or joint
venture of a member of a group of which the other entity is a member);
(iii) Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party;
(iv) One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the
third entity;
(v) The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefit of the employees of the Group
or an entity related to the Group;
(vi) The entity is controlled or jointly controlled by a person identified in (a);
(vii) A person identified in (a)(i) has significant influence over the entity or is a member of key
management personnel of the entity (or of a parent of the entity); or
(viii) The entity, or any member of a group of which it is a part, provides key management
personnel services to the Group or to the Group’s parent.

Close members of the family of a person are those family members who may be expected to influence,
or be influenced by, that person in their dealings with the entity and include:
(i) that person’s children and spouse or domestic partner;
(ii) children of that person’s spouse or domestic partner; and
(iii) dependents of that person or that person’s spouse or domestic partner.
6. KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, 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 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.
(i) Net realisable value of inventories
Net realisable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less
estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. These estimates are based on the current market condition
and the historical experience of selling products of similar nature. It could change significantly as a result of
competitor actions in response to severe industry cycles. Inventory value is reduced when the decision to
markdown below cost is made.
(ii) Impairment of trade and other receivables
Impairment of trade and other receivables is made based on an assessment of the recoverability of trade
and other receivables. The identification of impairment requires management’s judgements and estimates.
Where the actual outcome is different from the original estimate, such differences will impact on the carrying
values of the trade and other receivables and impairment loss over the period in which such estimate has been
changed. If the financial conditions of customers of the Group were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment
of their ability to make payments, additional provision for impairment may be required.
7. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The chief operating decision makers are identified as executive directors of the Company. The Group has
identified its operating segment based on the regular internal financial information reported to the Company’s
executive directors for their decisions about resources allocation and review of performance. For the Relevant
Periods, the executive directors have considered the only operating segment of the Group is design, development,
manufacture and sales of LED beads and LED lighting products.
No geographical information is presented as most of the Group’s operations are located in the PRC.

The Group’s trading terms with its customers are mainly on credit. The credit period is generally 30 days,
extending up to 90 days for major customers. The Group seeks to maintain strict control over its outstanding
receivables and overdue balances are reviewed regularly by senior management. There is a certain concentration of
credit risk.

Trade receivables that were neither past due nor impaired relate to a large number of diversified customers for
whom there was no recent history of default.
Trade receivables that were past due but not impaired relate to a number of independent customers that have a
good track record with the Group. Based on past experience, the directors of the Group are of the opinion that no
provision for impairment is necessary in respect of these balances as there has not been a significant change in credit
quality and the balances are still considered fully recoverable. The Group does not hold any collateral or other credit
enhancements over these balances.

Pursuant to the PRC Tax Law, a 10% withholding tax is levied on dividends declared to foreign investors
from the foreign investment enterprises established in the PRC. A lower withholding tax rate may be applied if there
is a tax treaty between the PRC and the jurisdiction of the foreign investors.
As at 31 December 2014 and 2015, no deferred tax has been recognised for withholding taxes that would be
payable on the unremitted earnings of the Group’s subsidiary established in the PRC. It is because in the opinion of
the Directors, it is not probable that the subsidiary will distribute its earnings accrued from the date of operation to
31 December 2015 in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, no deferred tax liabilities have been recognised as at 31
December 2014 and 2015.

In January 2015, a supplier of Zhuhai HongGuang as plaintiff instituted legal proceedings in the People’s
Court of Hengqin New Area, Zhuhai in the PRC against Zhuhai HongGuang as defendant, for the repayment of an
aggregate outstanding sum of approximately RMB1,300,000 for the payment of supplies supplied to Zhuhai
HongGuang and the relevant interest. By an order of the court dated 28 January 2015, the bank balances of Zhuhai
HongGuang amounting to approximately RMB1,300,000 was restricted for use until the case is being settled. In
April 2015, Zhuhai HongGuang filed a counterclaim against the plaintiff for damages in the sum of approximately
RMB1,510,000, on the ground that there were material defects on the supplies provided by the plaintiff.
In October 2015, the court ruled in favour of the plaintiff and dismissed the counterclaim made by Zhuhai
HongGuang. Zhuhai HongGuang disagreed with the judgement and filed a notice of appeal to the Zhuhai City
Intermediate People’s Court on 27 August 2015. On 26 May 2016, the parties reached a settlement, pursuant to
which Zhuhai Hongguang shall pay to the plaintiff a sum of approximately USD220,000 for the outstanding balance
and interest and approximately RMB28,000 for other disbursements incurred by the plaintiff during the litigation.
On the same day, the Zhuhai City Intermediate People’s Court issued a verdict confirming the same.

33. SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
The carrying amounts presented in the consolidated statements of financial position relate to the following
categories of financial assets and financial liabilities.
As at 31 December
2014 2015
RMB’000 RMB’000
Financial assets
Loans and receivables 86,248 66,190
Financial liabilities
Measured at amortised cost 80,756 56,216
The fair value of all these financial assets and financial liabilities are not materially different from their
carrying amounts.
34. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s activities expose itself to variety of financial risks: interest rate risk, foreign currency risk, credit
risk and liquidity risk. The board of directors regularly reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks
and they are summarised below.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will
fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate bank balances and bank
borrowings. Interests charged on the Group’s borrowings are at variable rates. The Group currently does not
have a policy on cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. However, the management monitors interest rate
exposure and will consider hedging significant interest rate risk should the need arise.
The Group is also exposed to fair value interest rate risk in relation to the short-term bank deposits.
However, management considers the interest rate risk on the deposits is insignificant as they are relatively
short-term. The management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider hedging significant interest rate
exposure should the need arise.
After performed the sensitivity analysis, management considered that the potential effect on the Group’s
post-tax profit at the end of each of the Relevant Periods would be minimal, if interest rates had been 100
basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant. In management’s opinion, the sensitivity
analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent interest rate risk as the exposures at the end of each of the
Relevant Periods do not reflect the exposures during the Relevant Periods.
Foreign currency risk
Substantially all the transactions of the Group’s subsidiaries in the PRC are carried out in RMB, which
is the functional currency of the Group. Therefore, the risk on foreign currency risk is minimal.
APPENDIX I ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT
– I-34 –
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED ‘‘WARNING’’ ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
Credit risk
The Group trades mainly with recognised and creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all
customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition,
receivable balances are monitored on an on-going basis.
The credit risk of the Group’s other financial assets, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, other
receivables and advance to a shareholder, arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure
equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. Since the Group trades only with recognised and
creditworthy third parties, there is no requirement for collateral. Concentrations of credit risk are managed by
customer/counterparty.
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each
customer. The default risk of the industry in which customers operate also has an influence on credit risk but
to a lesser extent. At the end of 31 December 2014 and 2015, the Group has a certain concentration of credit
risk as 36% and 60% of the total trade receivables were due from the five largest customers respectively.
Liquidity risk
The Group objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the
use of borrowings. The Group regular reviews its major funding positions to ensure that it has adequate
financial resources in meeting its financial obligations. The maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities
as at each of the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2015, based on the contractual undiscounted payments,
is less than one year. The discounting impact of the Group’s financial liabilities is insignificant.
35. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Group’s capital management objectives are to ensure the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern
and to provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing the products commensurately with the level of risk.
The Group actively and regularly reviews its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in
economic conditions. The Group monitors its capital structure on the basis of the net debt to equity ratio. Net debt
includes trade payables, other payables and accruals and borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. The net debt-to-
equity ratio as at the end of each of the Relevant Periods is as follows:
As at 31 December
2014 2015
RMB’000 RMB’000
Trade payables 29,335 27,661
Other payables and accruals 34,421 20,555
Borrowings 17,000 8,000
Less: Cash and cash equivalents (7,986) (7,670)
Net debt 72,770 48,546
Equity 42,279 53,172
Net debt-to-equity ratio 172% 91%
Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

attached to any class of shares may (unless otherwise provided for by the terms of issue
of the shares of that class) be varied, modified or abrogated either with the consent in
writing of the holders of not less than three-fourths in nominal value of the issued shares
of that class or with the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate general
meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. The provisions of the Articles relating
to general meetings shall mutatis mutandis apply to every such separate general meeting,
but so that the necessary quorum (other than at an adjourned meeting) shall be not less
than two persons together holding (or, in the case of a shareholder being a corporation,

by its duly authorized representative) or representing by proxy not less than one-third in
nominal value of the issued shares of that class. Every holder of shares of the class shall
be entitled on a poll to one vote for every such share held by him, and any holder of
shares of the class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.
Any special rights conferred upon the holders of any shares or class of shares shall
not, unless otherwise expressly provided in the rights attaching to the terms of issue of
such shares, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking
pari passu therewith.
(iii) Alteration of capital
The Company may, by an ordinary resolution of its members: (a) increase its share
capital by the creation of new shares of such amount as it thinks expedient; (b)
consolidate or divide all or any of its share capital into shares of larger or smaller
amount than its existing shares; (c) divide its unissued shares into several classes and
attach to such shares any preferential, deferred, qualified or special rights, privileges or
conditions; (d) subdivide its shares or any of them into shares of an amount smaller than
that fixed by the Memorandum; (e) cancel any shares which, at the date of the resolution,
have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its
share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled; (f) make provision for the
allotment and issue of shares which do not carry any voting rights; (g) change the
currency of denomination of its share capital; and (h) reduce its share premium account
in any manner authorised and subject to any conditions prescribed by law.
(iv) Transfer of shares
Subject to the Cayman Companies Law and the requirements of the Stock
Exchange, all transfers of shares shall be effected by an instrument of transfer in the
usual or common form or in such other form as the Board may approve and may be
under hand or, if the transferor or transferee is a Clearing House or its nominee(s), under
hand or by machine imprinted signature, or by such other manner of execution as the
Board may approve from time to time.
Execution of the instrument of transfer shall be by or on behalf of the transferor
and the transferee, provided that the Board may dispense with the execution of the
instrument of transfer by the transferor or transferee or accept mechanically executed
transfers. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of a share until the name
of the transferee is entered in the register of members of the Company in respect of that
share.
The Board may, in its absolute discretion, at any time and from time to time remove
any share on the principal register to any branch register or any share on any branch
register to the principal register or any other branch register. Unless the Board otherwise

agrees, no shares on the principal register shall be removed to any branch register nor
shall shares on any branch register be removed to the principal register or any other
branch register. All removals and other documents of title shall be lodged for registration
and registered, in the case of shares on any branch register, at the relevant registration
office and, in the case of shares on the principal register, at the place at which the
principal register is located.
The Board may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register a transfer of any share
(not being a fully paid up share) to a person of whom it does not approve or on which
the Company has a lien. It may also decline to register a transfer of any share issued
under any share option scheme upon which a restriction on transfer subsists or a transfer
of any share to more than four joint holders.
The Board may decline to recognise any instrument of transfer unless a certain fee,
up to such maximum sum as the Stock Exchange may determine to be payable, is paid to
the Company, the instrument of transfer is properly stamped (if applicable), is in respect
of only one class of share and is lodged at the relevant registration office or the place at
which the principal register is located accompanied by the relevant share certificate(s)
and such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require is provided to show the
right of the transferor to make the transfer (and if the instrument of transfer is executed
by some other person on his behalf, the authority of that person so to do).
The register of members may, subject to the Listing Rules, be closed at such time
or for such period not exceeding in the whole 30 days in each year as the Board may
determine.
Fully paid shares shall be free from any restriction on transfer (except when
permitted by the Stock Exchange) and shall also be free from all liens.
(v) Power of the Company to purchase its own shares
The Company may purchase its own shares subject to certain restrictions and the
Board may only exercise this power on behalf of the Company subject to any applicable
requirement imposed from time to time by the Articles or any, code, rules or regulations
issued from time to time by the Stock Exchange and/or the Securities and Futures
Commission of Hong Kong.
Where the Company purchases for redemption a redeemable Share, purchases not
made through the market or by tender shall be limited to a maximum price and, if
purchases are by tender, tenders shall be available to all members alike.

(vi) Power of any subsidiary of the Company to own shares in the Company
There are no provisions in the Articles relating to the ownership of shares in the
Company by a subsidiary.
(vii) Calls on shares and forfeiture of shares
The Board may, from time to time, make such calls as it thinks fit upon the
members in respect of any monies unpaid on the shares held by them respectively
(whether on account of the nominal value of the shares or by way of premium) and not
by the conditions of allotment of such shares made payable at fixed times. A call may be
made payable either in one sum or by instalments. If the sum payable in respect of any
call or instalment is not paid on or before the day appointed for payment thereof, the
person or persons from whom the sum is due shall pay interest on the same at such rate
not exceeding 20% per annum as the Board shall fix from the day appointed for payment
to the time of actual payment, but the Board may waive payment of such interest wholly
or in part. The Board may, if it thinks fit, receive from any member willing to advance
the same, either in money or money’s worth, all or any part of the money uncalled and
unpaid or instalments payable upon any shares held by him, and in respect of all or any
of the monies so advanced the Company may pay interest at such rate (if any) not
exceeding 20% per annum as the Board may decide.
If a member fails to pay any call or instalment of a call on the day appointed for
payment, the Board may, for so long as any part of the call or instalment remains unpaid,
serve not less than 14 days’ notice on the member requiring payment of so much of the
call or instalment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued and
which may still accrue up to the date of actual payment. The notice shall name a further
day (not earlier than the expiration of 14 days from the date of the notice) on or before
which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall also name the place
where payment is to be made. The notice shall also state that, in the event of non-
payment at or before the appointed time, the shares in respect of which the call was
made will be liable to be forfeited.
If the requirements of any such notice are not complied with, any share in respect
of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment
required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Board to that
effect. Such forfeiture will include all dividends and bonuses declared in respect of the
forfeited share and not actually paid before the forfeiture.
A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a member in respect of
the forfeited shares but shall, nevertheless, remain liable to pay to the Company all
monies which, at the date of forfeiture, were payable by him to the Company in respect

of the shares together with (if the Board shall in its discretion so require) interest thereon
from the date of forfeiture until payment at such rate not exceeding 20% per annum as
the Board may prescribe.
(b) Directors
(i) Appointment, retirement and removal
At any time or from time to time, the Board shall have the power to appoint any
person as a Director either to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or as an additional
Director to the existing Board subject to any maximum number of Directors, if any, as
may be determined by the members in general meeting. Any Director so appointed to fill
a casual vacancy shall hold office only until the first general meeting of the Company
after his appointment and be subject to re-election at such meeting. Any Director so
appointed as an addition to the existing Board shall hold office only until the first annual
general meeting of the Company after his appointment and be eligible for re-election at
such meeting. Any Director so appointed by the Board shall not be taken into account in
determining the Directors or the number of Directors who are to retire by rotation at an
annual general meeting.
At each annual general meeting, one third of the Directors for the time being shall
retire from office by rotation. However, if the number of Directors is not a multiple of
three, then the number nearest to but not less than one third shall be the number of
retiring Directors. The Directors to retire in each year shall be those who have been in
office longest since their last re-election or appointment but, as between persons who
became or were last re-elected Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless
they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot.
No person, other than a retiring Director, shall, unless recommended by the Board
for election, be eligible for election to the office of Director at any general meeting,
unless notice in writing of the intention to propose that person for election as a Director
and notice in writing by that person of his willingness to be elected has been lodged at
the head office or at the registration office of the Company. The period for lodgment of
such notices shall commence no earlier than the day after despatch of the notice of the
relevant meeting and end no later than seven days before the date of such meeting and
the minimum length of the period during which such notices may be lodged must be at
least seven days.
A Director is not required to hold any shares in the Company by way of
qualification nor is there any specified upper or lower age limit for Directors either for
accession to or retirement from the Board.

– III-5 –
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED ‘‘WARNING’’ ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
A Director may be removed by an ordinary resolution of the Company before the
expiration of his term of office (but without prejudice to any claim which such Director
may have for damages for any breach of any contract between him and the Company)
and the Company may by ordinary resolution appoint another in his place. Any Director
so appointed shall be subject to the ‘‘retirement by rotation’’ provisions. The number of
Directors shall not be less than two.
The office of a Director shall be vacated if he:
(aa) resign;
(bb) dies;
(cc) is declared to be of unsound mind and the Board resolves that his office be
vacated;
(dd) becomes bankrupt or has a receiving order made against him or suspends
payment or compounds with his creditors generally;
(ee) he is prohibited from being or ceases to be a director by operation of law;
(ff) without special leave, is absent from meetings of the Board for six consecutive
months, and the Board resolves that his office is vacated;
(gg) has been required by the stock exchange of the Relevant Territory (as defined
in the Articles) to cease to be a Director; or
(hh) is removed from office by the requisite majority of the Directors or otherwise
pursuant to the Articles.
From time to time the Board may appoint one or more of its body to be managing
director, joint managing director or deputy managing director or to hold any other
employment or executive office with the Company for such period and upon such terms
as the Board may determine, and the Board may revoke or terminate any of such
appointments. The Board may also delegate any of its powers to committees consisting
of such Director(s) or other person(s) as the Board thinks fit, and from time to time it
may also revoke such delegation or revoke the appointment of and discharge any such
committees either wholly or in part, and either as to persons or purposes, but every
committee so formed shall, in the exercise of the powers so delegated, conform to any
regulations that may from time to time be imposed upon it by the Board.

(ii) Power to allot and issue shares and warrants
Subject to the provisions of the Cayman Companies Law, the Memorandum and
Articles and without prejudice to any special rights conferred on the holders of any
shares or class of shares, any share may be issued with or have attached to it such rights,
or such restrictions, whether with regard to dividend, voting, return of capital or
otherwise, as the Company may by ordinary resolution determine (or, in the absence of
any such determination or so far as the same may not make specific provision, as the
Board may determine). Any share may be issued on terms that, upon the happening of a
specified event or upon a given date and either at the option of the Company or the
holder of the share, it is liable to be redeemed.
The Board may issue warrants to subscribe for any class of shares or other
securities of the Company on such terms as it may from time to time determine.
Where warrants are issued to bearer, no certificate in respect of such warrants shall
be issued to replace one that has been lost unless the Board is satisfied beyond
reasonable doubt that the original certificate has been destroyed and the Company has
received an indemnity in such form as the Board thinks fit with regard to the issue of
any such replacement certificate.
Subject to the provisions of the Cayman Companies Law, the Articles and, where
applicable, the rules of any stock exchange of the Relevant Territory (as defined in the
Articles) and without prejudice to any special rights or restrictions for the time being
attached to any shares or any class of shares, all unissued shares in the Company shall be
at the disposal of the Board, which may offer, allot, grant options over or otherwise
dispose of them to such persons, at such times, for such consideration and on such terms
and conditions as it in its absolute discretion thinks fit, but so that no shares shall be
issued at a discount.
Neither the Company nor the Board shall be obliged, when making or granting any
allotment of, offer of, option over or disposal of shares, to make, or make available, any
such allotment, offer, option or shares to members or others whose registered addresses
are in any particular territory or territories where, in the absence of a registration
statement or other special formalities, this is or may, in the opinion of the Board, be
unlawful or impracticable. However, no member affected as a result of the foregoing
shall be, or be deemed to be, a separate class of members for any purpose whatsoever.

(iii) Power to dispose of the assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries
While there are no specific provisions in the Articles relating to the disposal of the
assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Board may exercise all powers and
do all acts and things which may be exercised or done or approved by the Company and
which are not required by the Articles or the Cayman Companies Law to be exercised or
done by the Company in general meeting, but if such power or act is regulated by the
Company in general meeting, such regulation shall not invalidate any prior act of the
Board which would have been valid if such regulation had not been made.
(iv) Borrowing powers
The Board may exercise all the powers of the Company to raise or borrow money,
to mortgage or charge all or any part of the undertaking, property and uncalled capital of
the Company and, subject to the Cayman Companies Law, to issue debentures, debenture
stock, bonds and other securities of the Company, whether outright or as collateral
security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any third party.
(v) Remuneration
The Directors shall be entitled to receive, as ordinary remuneration for their
services, such sums as shall from time to time be determined by the Board or the
Company in general meeting, as the case may be, such sum (unless otherwise directed by
the resolution by which it is determined) to be divided among the Directors in such
proportions and in such manner as they may agree or, failing agreement, either equally
or, in the case of any Director holding office for only a portion of the period in respect
of which the remuneration is payable, pro rata. The Directors shall also be entitled to be
repaid all expenses reasonably incurred by them in attending any Board meetings,
committee meetings or general meetings or otherwise in connection with the discharge of
their duties as Directors. Such remuneration shall be in addition to any other
remuneration to which a Director who holds any salaried employment or office in the
Company may be entitled by reason of such employment or office.
Any Director who, at the request of the Company, performs services which in the
opinion of the Board go beyond the ordinary duties of a Director may be paid such
special or extra remuneration as the Board may determine, in addition to or in
substitution for any ordinary remuneration as a Director. An executive Director appointed
to be a managing director, joint managing director, deputy managing director or other
executive officer shall receive such remuneration and such other benefits and allowances
as the Board may from time to time decide. Such remuneration shall be in addition to his
ordinary remuneration as a Director.

The Board may establish, either on its own or jointly in concurrence or agreement
with subsidiaries of the Company or companies with which the Company is associated in
business, or may make contributions out of the Company’s monies to, any schemes or
funds for providing pensions, sickness or compassionate allowances, life assurance or
other benefits for employees (which expression as used in this and the following
paragraph shall include any Director or former Director who may hold or have held any
executive office or any office of profit with the Company or any of its subsidiaries) and
former employees of the Company and their dependents or any class or classes of such
persons.
The Board may also pay, enter into agreements to pay or make grants of revocable
or irrevocable, whether or not subject to any terms or conditions, pensions or other
benefits to employees and former employees and their dependents, or to any of such
persons, including pensions or benefits additional to those, if any, to which such
employees or former employees or their dependents are or may become entitled under
any such scheme or fund as mentioned above. Such pension or benefit may, if deemed
desirable by the Board, be granted to an employee either before and in anticipation of, or
upon or at any time after, his actual retirement.
(vi) Compensation or payments for loss of office
Payments to any present Director or past Director of any sum by way of
compensation for loss of office or as consideration for or in connection with his
retirement from office (not being a payment to which the Director is contractually or
statutorily entitled) must be approved by the Company in general meeting.
(vii) Loans and provision of security for loans to Directors
The Company shall not directly or indirectly make a loan to a Director or a director
of any holding company of the Company or any of their respective close associates, enter
into any guarantee or provide any security in connection with a loan made by any person
to a Director or a director of any holding company of the Company or any of their
respective close associates, or, if any one or more of the Directors hold(s) (jointly or
severally or directly or indirectly) a controlling interest in another company, make a loan
to that other company or enter into any guarantee or provide any security in connection
with a loan made by any person to that other company.
(viii)Disclosure of interest in contracts with the Company or any of its subsidiaries
With the exception of the office of auditor of the Company, a Director may hold
any other office or place of profit with the Company in conjunction with his office of
Director for such period and upon such terms as the Board may determine, and may be
paid such extra remuneration for that other office or place of profit, in whatever form, in
addition to any remuneration provided for by or pursuant to any other Articles. A

Director may be or become a director, officer or member of any other company in which
the Company may be interested, and shall not be liable to account to the Company or the
members for any remuneration or other benefits received by him as a director, officer or
member of such other company. The Board may also cause the voting power conferred
by the shares in any other company held or owned by the Company to be exercised in
such manner in all respects as it thinks fit, including the exercise in favour of any
resolution appointing the Directors or any of them to be directors or officers of such
other company.
No Director or intended Director shall be disqualified by his office from contracting
with the Company, nor shall any such contract or any other contract or arrangement in
which any Director is in any way interested be liable to be avoided, nor shall any
Director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for
any profit realised by any such contract or arrangement by reason only of such Director
holding that office or the fiduciary relationship established by it. A Director who is, in
any way, materially interested in a contract or arrangement or proposed contract or
arrangement with the Company shall declare the nature of his interest at the earliest
meeting of the Board at which he may practically do so.
There is no power to freeze or otherwise impair any of the rights attaching to any
share by reason that the person or persons who are interested directly or indirectly in that
share have failed to disclose their interests to the Company.
A Director shall not vote or be counted in the quorum on any resolution of the
Board in respect of any contract or arrangement or proposal in which he or any of his
close associate(s) has/have a material interest, and if he shall do so his vote shall not be
counted nor shall he be counted in the quorum for that resolution, but this prohibition
shall not apply to any of the following matters:
(aa) the giving of any security or indemnity to the Director or his close associate(s)
in respect of money lent or obligations incurred or undertaken by him or any
of them at the request of or for the benefit of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries;
(bb) the giving of any security or indemnity to a third party in respect of a debt or
obligation of the Company or any of its subsidiaries for which the Director or
his close associate(s) has/have himself/themselves assumed responsibility in
whole or in part whether alone or jointly under a guarantee or indemnity or by
the giving of security;

– III-10 –
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED ‘‘WARNING’’ ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
(cc) any proposal concerning an offer of shares, debentures or other securities of or
by the Company or any other company which the Company may promote or
be interested in for subscription or purchase, where the Director or his close
associate(s) is/are or is/are to be interested as a participant in the underwriting
or sub-underwriting of the offer;
(dd) any proposal or arrangement concerning the benefit of employees of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries, including the adoption, modification or
operation of either: (i) any employees’ share scheme or any share incentive or
share option scheme under which the Director or his close associate(s) may
benefit; or (ii) any of a pension fund or retirement, death or disability benefits
scheme which relates to Directors, their close associates and employees of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries and does not provide in respect of any
Director or his close associate(s) any privilege or advantage not generally
accorded to the class of persons to which such scheme or fund relates; and
(ee) any contract or arrangement in which the Director or his close associate(s) is/
are interested in the same manner as other holders of shares, debentures or
other securities of the Company by virtue only of his/their interest in those
shares, debentures or other securities.
(c) Proceedings of the Board
The Board may meet anywhere in the world for the despatch of business and may
adjourn and otherwise regulate its meetings as it thinks fit. Questions arising at any meeting
shall be determined by a majority of votes. In the case of an equality of votes, the chairman of
the meeting shall have a second or casting vote.
(d) Alterations to the constitutional documents and the Company’s name
To the extent that the same is permissible under Cayman Islands law and subject to the
Articles, the Memorandum and Articles of the Company may only be altered or amended, and
the name of the Company may only be changed, with the sanction of a special resolution of
the Company.
(e) Meetings of member
(i) Special and ordinary resolutions
A special resolution of the Company must be passed by a majority of not less than
three-fourths of the votes cast by such members as, being entitled so to do, vote in
person or by proxy or, in the case of members which are corporations, by their duly
APPENDIX III SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANYAND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW

authorised representatives or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at a general meeting
of which notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution
has been duly given.
Under Cayman Companies Law, a copy of any special resolution must be forwarded
to the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands within 15 days of being passed.
An ‘‘ordinary resolution’’, by contrast, is a resolution passed by a simple majority
of the votes of such members of the Company as, being entitled to do so, vote in person
or, in the case of members which are corporations, by their duly authorised
representatives or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at a general meeting of which
notice has been duly given.
A resolution in writing signed by or on behalf of all members shall be treated as an
ordinary resolution duly passed at a general meeting of the Company duly convened and
held, and where relevant as a special resolution so passed.
(ii) Voting rights and right to demand a poll
Subject to any special rights, restrictions or privileges as to voting for the time
being attached to any class or classes of shares at any general meeting: (a) on a poll
every member present in person or by proxy or, in the case of a member being a
corporation, by its duly authorised representative shall have one vote for every share
which is fully paid or credited as fully paid registered in his name in the register of
members of the Company but so that no amount paid up or credited as paid up on a
share in advance of calls or instalments is treated for this purpose as paid up on the
share; and (b) on a show of hands every member who is present in person (or, in the case
of a member being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative) or by proxy shall
have one vote. Where more than one proxy is appointed by a member which is a
Clearing House (as defined in the Articles) or its nominee(s), each such proxy shall have
one vote on a show of hands. On a poll, a member entitled to more than one vote need
not use all his votes or cast all the votes he does use in the same way.
At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting is to be decided
by poll save that the chairman of the meeting may, pursuant to the Listing Rules, allow a
resolution to be voted on by a show of hands. Where a show of hands is allowed, before
or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands, a poll may be demanded by (in
each case by members present in person or by proxy or by a duly authorised corporate
representative):
(A) at least two members;
(B) any member or members representing not less than one-tenth of the total
voting rights of all the members having the right to vote at the meeting; or

(C) a member or members holding shares in the Company conferring a right to
vote at the meeting on which an aggregate sum has been paid equal to not less
than one-tenth of the total sum paid up on all the shares conferring that right.
Should a Clearing House or its nominee(s) be a member of the Company, such
person or persons may be authorised as it thinks fit to act as its representative(s) at any
meeting of the Company or at any meeting of any class of members of the Company
provided that, if more than one person is so authorised, the authorisation shall specify
the number and class of shares in respect of which each such person is so authorised. A
person authorised in accordance with this provision shall be deemed to have been duly
authorised without further evidence of the facts and be entitled to exercise the same
rights and powers on behalf of the Clearing House or its nominee(s) as if such person
were an individual member including the right to vote individually on a show of hands.
Where the Company has knowledge that any member is, under the Listing Rules,
required to abstain from voting on any particular resolution or restricted to voting only
for or only against any particular resolution, any votes cast by or on behalf of such
member in contravention of such requirement or restriction shall not be counted.
(iii) Annual general meetings
The Company must hold an annual general meeting each year. Such meeting must
be held not more than 15 months after the holding of the last preceding annual general
meeting, or such longer period as may be authorised by the Stock Exchange at such time
and place as may be determined by the Board.
(iv) Notices of meetings and business to be conducted
An annual general meeting of the Company shall be called by at least 21 days’
notice in writing, and any other general meeting of the Company shall be called by at
least 14 days’ notice in writing. The notice shall be exclusive of the day on which it is
served or deemed to be served and of the day for which it is given, and must specify the
time, place and agenda of the meeting and particulars of the resolution(s) to be
considered at that meeting and, in the case of special business, the general nature of that
business.
Except where otherwise expressly stated, any notice or document (including a share
certificate) to be given or issued under the Articles shall be in writing, and may be
served by the Company on any member personally, by post to such member’s registered
address or (in the case of a notice) by advertisement in the newspapers. Any member
whose registered address is outside Hong Kong may notify the Company in writing of an
address in Hong Kong which shall be deemed to be his registered address for this

purpose. Subject to the Cayman Companies Law and the Listing Rules, a notice or
document may also be served or delivered by the Company to any member by electronic
means.
Although a meeting of the Company may be called by shorter notice than as
specified above, such meeting may be deemed to have been duly called if it is so agreed:
(i) in the case of an annual general meeting, by all members of the Company
entitled to attend and vote thereat; and
(ii) in the case of any other meeting, by a majority in number of the members
having a right to attend and vote at the meeting holding not less than 95% of
the total voting rights in the Company.
All business transacted at an extraordinary general meeting shall be deemed special
business. All business shall also be deemed special business where it is transacted at an
annual general meeting, with the exception of certain routine matters which shall be
deemed ordinary business.
(v) Quorum for meetings and separate class meetings
No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present
when the meeting proceeds to business, and continues to be present until the conclusion
of the meeting.
The quorum for a general meeting shall be two members present in person (or in
the case of a member being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative) or by
proxy and entitled to vote. In respect of a separate class meeting (other than an
adjourned meeting) convened to sanction the modification of class rights the necessary
quorum shall be two persons holding or representing by proxy not less than one-third in
nominal value of the issued shares of that class.
(vi) Proxies
Any member of the Company entitled to attend and vote at a meeting of the
Company is entitled to appoint another person as his proxy to attend and vote instead of
him. A member who is the holder of two or more shares may appoint more than one
proxy to represent him and vote on his behalf at a general meeting of the Company or at
a class meeting. A proxy need not be a member of the Company and shall be entitled to
exercise the same powers on behalf of a member who is an individual and for whom he
acts as proxy as such member could exercise. In addition, a proxy shall be entitled to
exercise the same powers on behalf of a member which is a corporation and for which he

acts as proxy as such member could exercise if it were an individual member. On a poll
or on a show of hands, votes may be given either personally (or, in the case of a member
being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative) or by proxy.
The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of the
appointor or of his attorney duly authorised in writing, or if the appointor is a
corporation, either under seal or under the hand of a duly authorised officer or attorney.
Every instrument of proxy, whether for a specified meeting or otherwise, shall be in such
form as the Board may from time to time approve, provided that it shall not preclude the
use of the two-way form. Any form issued to a member for appointing a proxy to attend
and vote at an extraordinary general meeting or at an annual general meeting at which
any business is to be transacted shall be such as to enable the member, according to his
intentions, to instruct the proxy to vote in favour of or against (or, in default of
instructions, to exercise his discretion in respect of) each resolution dealing with any
such business.
(f) Accounts and audit
The Board shall cause proper books of account to be kept of the sums of money received
and expended by the Company, and of the assets and liabilities of the Company and of all
other matters required by the Cayman Companies Law (which include all sales and purchases
of goods by the company) necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s
affairs and to show and explain its transactions.
The books of accounts of the Company shall be kept at the head office of the Company
or at such other place or places as the Board decides and shall always be open to inspection
by any Director. No member (other than a Director) shall have any right to inspect any
account, book or document of the Company except as conferred by the Cayman Companies
Law or ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or authorised by the Board or the
Company in general meeting.
The Board shall from time to time cause to be prepared and laid before the Company at
its annual general meeting balance sheets and profit and loss accounts (including every
document required by law to be annexed thereto), together with a copy of the Directors’ report
and a copy of the auditors’ report, not less than 21 days before the date of the annual general
meeting. Copies of these documents shall be sent to every person entitled to receive notices of
general meetings of the Company under the provisions of the Articles together with the notice
of annual general meeting, not less than 21 days before the date of the meeting.
Subject to the rules of the stock exchange of the Relevant Territory (as defined in the
Articles), the Company may send summarized financial statements to shareholders who have,
in accordance with the rules of the stock exchange of the Relevant Territory, consented and
elected to receive summarized financial statements instead of the full financial statements. The
summarized financial statements must be accompanied by any other documents as may be
APPENDIX III SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANYAND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW
– III-15 –

required under the rules of the stock exchange of the Relevant Territory, and must be sent to
those shareholders that have consented and elected to receive the summarised financial
statements not less than 21 days before the general meeting.
The Company shall appoint auditor(s) to hold office until the conclusion of the next
annual general meeting on such terms and with such duties as may be agreed with the Board.
The auditors’ remuneration shall be fixed by the Company in general meeting or by the Board
if authority is so delegated by the members.
The auditors shall audit the financial statements of the Company in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles of Hong Kong, the International Accounting
Standards or such other standards as may be permitted by the Stock Exchange.
(g) Dividends and other methods of distribution
The Company in general meeting may declare dividends in any currency to be paid to the
members but no dividend shall be declared in excess of the amount recommended by the
Board.
Except in so far as the rights attaching to, or the terms of issue of, any share may
otherwise provide:
(i) all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the
shares in respect of which the dividend is paid, although no amount paid up on a
share in advance of calls shall for this purpose be treated as paid up on the share;
(ii) all dividends shall be apportioned and paid pro rata in accordance with the amount
paid up on the shares during any portion(s) of the period in respect of which the
dividend is paid; and
(iii) the Board may deduct from any dividend or other monies payable to any member
all sums of money (if any) presently payable by him to the Company on account of
calls, instalments or otherwise.
Where the Board or the Company in general meeting has resolved that a dividend should
be paid or declared, the Board may resolve:
(aa) that such dividend be satisfied wholly or in part in the form of an allotment of
shares credited as fully paid up, provided that the members entitled to such
dividend will be entitled to elect to receive such dividend (or part thereof) in cash
in lieu of such allotment; or
(bb) that the members entitled to such dividend will be entitled to elect to receive an
allotment of shares credited as fully paid up in lieu of the whole or such part of the
dividend as the Board may think fit.

– III-16 –
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED ‘‘WARNING’’ ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
Upon the recommendation of the Board, the Company may by ordinary resolution in
respect of any one particular dividend of the Company determine that it may be satisfied
wholly in the form of an allotment of shares credited as fully paid up without offering any
right to members to elect to receive such dividend in cash in lieu of such allotment.
Any dividend, bonus or other sum payable in cash to the holder of shares may be paid by
cheque or warrant sent through the post. Every such cheque or warrant shall be made payable
to the order of the person to whom it is sent and shall be sent at the holder’s or joint holders’
risk and payment of the cheque or warrant by the bank on which it is drawn shall constitute a
good discharge to the Company. Any one of two or more joint holders may give effectual
receipts for any dividends or other monies payable or property distributable in respect of the
shares held by such joint holders.
Whenever the Board or the Company in general meeting has resolved that a dividend be
paid or declared, the Board may further resolve that such dividend be satisfied wholly or in
part by the distribution of specific assets of any kind.
The Board may, if it thinks fit, receive from any member willing to advance the same,
and either in money or money’s worth, all or any part of the money uncalled and unpaid or
instalments payable upon any shares held by him, and in respect of all or any of the monies so
advanced may pay interest at such rate (if any) not exceeding 20% per annum, as the Board
may decide, but a payment in advance of a call shall not entitle the member to receive any
dividend or to exercise any other rights or privileges as a member in respect of the share or
the due portion of the shares upon which payment has been advanced by such member before
it is called up.
All dividends, bonuses or other distributions unclaimed for one year after having been
declared may be invested or otherwise used by the Board for the benefit of the Company until
claimed and the Company shall not be constituted a trustee in respect thereof. All dividends,
bonuses or other distributions unclaimed for six years after having been declared may be
forfeited by the Board and, upon such forfeiture, shall revert to the Company.
No dividend or other monies payable by the Company on or in respect of any share shall
bear interest against the Company.
The Company may exercise the power to cease sending cheques for dividend entitlements
or dividend warrants by post if such cheques or warrants remain uncashed on two consecutive
occasions or after the first occasion on which such a cheque or warrant is returned
undelivered.

(g) Inspection of corporate records
For so long as any part of the share capital of the Company is listed on the Stock
Exchange, any member may inspect any register of members of the Company maintained in
Hong Kong (except when the register of members is closed) without charge and require the
provision to him of copies or extracts of such register in all respects as if the Company were
incorporated under and were subject to the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
(h) Rights of minorities in relation to fraud or oppression
There are no provisions in the Articles concerning the rights of minority members in
relation to fraud or oppression. However, certain remedies may be available to members of the
Company under Cayman Islands law, as summarized in paragraph 3(f) of this Appendix.
(i) Procedures on liquidation
A resolution that the Company be wound up by the court or be wound up voluntarily
shall be a special resolution.
Subject to any special rights, privileges or restrictions as to the distribution of available
surplus assets on liquidation for the time being attached to any class or classes of shares:
(i) if the Company is wound up and the assets available for distribution among the
members of the Company are more than sufficient to repay the whole of the capital
paid up at the commencement of the winding up, then the excess shall be
distributed pari passu among such members in proportion to the amount paid up on
the shares held by them respectively; and
(ii) if the Company is wound up and the assets available for distribution among the
members as such are insufficient to repay the whole of the paid-up capital, such
assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by
the members in proportion to the capital paid up on the shares held by them,
respectively.
If the Company is wound up (whether the liquidation is voluntary or compelled by the
court), the liquidator may, with the sanction of a special resolution and any other sanction
required by the Cayman Companies Law, divide among the members in specie or kind the
whole or any part of the assets of the Company, whether the assets consist of property of one
kind or different kinds, and the liquidator may, for such purpose, set such value as he deems
fair upon any one or more class or classes of property to be so divided and may determine
how such division shall be carried out as between the members or different classes of
members and the members within each class. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest

any part of the assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of members as the liquidator
thinks fit, but so that no member shall be compelled to accept any shares or other property
upon which there is a liability.
(j) Subscription rights reserve
Provided that it is not prohibited by and is otherwise in compliance with the Cayman
Companies Law, if warrants to subscribe for shares have been issued by the Company and the
Company does any act or engages in any transaction which would result in the subscription
price of such warrants being reduced below the par value of the shares to be issued on the
exercise of such warrants, a subscription rights reserve shall be established and applied in
paying up the difference between the subscription price and the par value of such shares.
3. CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW
The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company on 27 May
2015 subject to the Cayman Companies Law. Certain provisions of Cayman Islands company law
are set out below but this section does not purport to contain all applicable qualifications and
exceptions or to be a complete review of all matters of the Cayman Companies Law and taxation,
which may differ from equivalent provisions in jurisdictions with which interested parties may be
more familiar.
(a) Company operations
An exempted company such as the Company must conduct its operations mainly outside
the Cayman Islands. An exempted company is also required to file an annual return each year
with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands and pay a fee which is based on the
amount of its authorised share capital.

– III-19 –
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED ‘‘WARNING’’ ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
(b) Share capital
Under Cayman Companies Law, a Cayman Islands company may issue ordinary,
preference or redeemable shares or any combination thereof. Where a company issues shares
at a premium, whether for cash or otherwise, a sum equal to the aggregate amount or value of
the premiums on those shares shall be transferred to an account, to be called the ‘‘share
premium account’’. At the option of a company, these provisions may not apply to premiums
on shares of that company allotted pursuant to any arrangements in consideration of the
acquisition or cancellation of shares in any other company and issued at a premium. The share
premium account may be applied by the company subject to the provisions, if any, of its
memorandum and articles of association, in such manner as the company may from time to
time determine including, but without limitation, the following:
(i) paying distributions or dividends to members;
(ii) paying up unissued shares of the company to be issued to members as fully paid
bonus shares;
(iii) any manner provided in section 37 of the Cayman Companies Law;
(iv) writing-off the preliminary expenses of the company; and
(v) writing-off the expenses of, or the commission paid or discount allowed on, any
issue of shares or debentures of the company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no distribution or dividend may be paid to members out
of the share premium account unless, immediately following the date on which the distribution
or dividend is proposed to be paid, the company will be able to pay its debts as they fall due
in the ordinary course of business.
Subject to confirmation by the court, a company limited by shares or a company limited
by guarantee and having a share capital may, if authorised to do so by its articles of
association, by special resolution reduce its share capital in any way.
(c) Financial assistance to purchase shares of a company or its holding company
There are no statutory prohibitions in the Cayman Islands on the granting of financial
assistance by a company to another person for the purchase of, or subscription for, its own, its
holding company’s or a subsidiary’s shares. Therefore, a company may provide financial
assistance provided the directors of the company, when proposing to grant such financial
assistance, discharge their duties of care and act in good faith, for a proper purpose and in the
interests of the company. Such assistance should be on an arm’s-length basis.

THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED ‘‘WARNING’’ ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
(d) Purchase of shares and warrants by a company and its subsidiaries
A company limited by shares or a company limited by guarantee and having a share
capital may, if so authorised by its articles of association, issue shares which are to be
redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the company or a member and, for the
avoidance of doubt, it shall be lawful for the rights attaching to any shares to be varied,
subject to the provisions of the company’s articles of association, so as to provide that such
shares are to be or are liable to be so redeemed. In addition, such a company may, if
authorised to do so by its articles of association, purchase its own shares, including any
redeemable shares; an ordinary resolution of the company approving the manner and terms of
the purchase will be required if the articles of association do not authorise the manner and
terms of such purchase. A company may not redeem or purchase its shares unless they are
fully paid. Furthermore, a company may not redeem or purchase any of its shares if, as a
result of the redemption or purchase, there would no longer be any issued shares of the
company other than shares held as treasury shares. In addition, a payment out of capital by a
company for the redemption or purchase of its own shares is not lawful unless, immediately
following the date on which the payment is proposed to be made, the company shall be able to
pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business.
Shares that have been purchased or redeemed by a company or surrendered to the
company shall not be treated as cancelled but shall be classified as treasury shares if held in
compliance with the requirements of Section 37A(1) of the Cayman Companies Law. Any
such shares shall continue to be classified as treasury shares until such shares are either
cancelled or transferred pursuant to the Cayman Companies Law.
A Cayman Islands company may be able to purchase its own warrants subject to and in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the relevant warrant instrument or certificate.
Thus there is no requirement under Cayman Islands law that a company’s memorandum or
articles of association contain a specific provision enabling such purchases. The directors of a
company may under the general power contained in its memorandum of association be able to
buy, sell and deal in personal property of all kinds.
A subsidiary may hold shares in its holding company and, in certain circumstances, may
acquire such shares.
(e) Dividends and distributions
Subject to a solvency test, as prescribed in the Cayman Companies Law, and the
provisions, if any, of the company’s memorandum and articles of association, a company may
pay dividends and distributions out of its share premium account. In addition, based upon
English case law which is likely to be persuasive in the Cayman Islands, dividends may be
paid out of profits.
APPENDIX III SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANYAND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW
– III-21 –
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED ‘‘WARNING’’ ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
For so long as a company holds treasury shares, no dividend may be declared or paid,
and no other distribution (whether in cash or otherwise) of the company’s assets (including
any distribution of assets to members on a winding up) may be made, in respect of a treasury
share.
(f) Protection of minorities and shareholders’ suits
It can be expected that the Cayman Islands courts will ordinarily follow English case law
precedents (particularly the rule in the case of Foss v. Harbottle and the exceptions to that
rule) which permit a minority member to commence a representative action against or
derivative actions in the name of the company to challenge acts which are ultra vires, illegal,
fraudulent (and performed by those in control of the Company) against the minority, or
represent an irregularity in the passing of a resolution which requires a qualified (or special)
majority which has not been obtained.
Where a company (not being a bank) is one which has a share capital divided into
shares, the court may, on the application of members holding not less than one-fifth of the
shares of the company in issue, appoint an inspector to examine the affairs of the company
and, at the direction of the court, to report on such affairs. In addition, any member of a
company may petition the court, which may make a winding up order if the court is of the
opinion that it is just and equitable that the company should be wound up.
In general, claims against a company by its members must be based on the general laws
of contract or tort applicable in the Cayman Islands or be based on potential violation of their
individual rights as members as established by a company’s memorandum and articles of
association.
(g) Disposal of assets
There are no specific restrictions on the power of directors to dispose of assets of a
company, however, the directors are expected to exercise certain duties of care, diligence and
skill to the standard that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable
circumstances, in addition to fiduciary duties to act in good faith, for proper purpose and in
the best interests of the company under English common law (which the Cayman Islands
courts will ordinarily follow).
(h) Accounting and auditing requirements
A company must cause proper records of accounts to be kept with respect to: (i) all sums
of money received and expended by it; (ii) all sales and purchases of goods by it and (iii) its
assets and liabilities.
APPENDIX III SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANYAND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW
– III-22 –
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED ‘‘WARNING’’ ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
Proper books of account shall not be deemed to be kept if there are not kept such books
as are necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the company’s affairs and to
explain its transactions.
If a company keeps its books of account at any place other than at its registered office or
any other place within the Cayman Islands, it shall, upon service of an order or notice by the
Tax Information Authority pursuant to the Tax Information Authority Law (2013 Revision) of
the Cayman Islands, make available, in electronic form or any other medium, at its registered
office copies of its books of account, or any part or parts thereof, as are specified in such
order or notice.
(i) Exchange control
There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in effect in the
Cayman Islands.
(j) Taxation
Pursuant to section 6 of the Tax Concessions Law (2011 Revision) of the Cayman
Islands, the Company has obtained an undertaking from the Governor-in-Cabinet that:
(i) no law which is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on
profits or income or gains or appreciation shall apply to the Company or its
operations; and
(ii) no tax be levied on profits, income gains or appreciations or which is in the nature
of estate duty or inheritance tax shall be payable by the Company:
(aa) on or in respect of the shares, debentures or other obligations of the Company;
or
(bb) by way of withholding in whole or in part of any relevant payment as defined
in section 6(3) of the Tax Concessions Law (2011 Revision).
The undertaking for the Company is for a period of 20 years from 16 June 2015.
The Cayman Islands currently levy no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon
profits, income, gains or appreciations and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax
or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to the Company levied by the
Government of the Cayman Islands save for certain stamp duties which may be applicable,
from time to time, on certain instruments.

– III-23 –
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED ‘‘WARNING’’ ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
(k) Stamp duty on transfers
No stamp duty is payable in the Cayman Islands on transfers of shares of Cayman
Islands companies save for those which hold interests in land in the Cayman Islands.
(l) Loans to directors
There is no express provision prohibiting the making of loans by a company to any of its
directors. However, the company’s articles of association may provide for the prohibition of
such loans under specific circumstances.
(m) Inspection of corporate records
The members of a company have no general right to inspect or obtain copies of the
register of members or corporate records of the company. They will, however, have such
rights as may be set out in the company’s articles of association.
(n) Register of members
A Cayman Islands exempted company may maintain its principal register of members
and any branch registers in any country or territory, whether within or outside the Cayman
Islands, as the company may determine from time to time. There is no requirement for an
exempted company to make any returns of members to the Registrar of Companies in the
Cayman Islands. The names and addresses of the members are, accordingly, not a matter of
public record and are not available for public inspection. However, an exempted company
shall make available at its registered office, in electronic form or any other medium, such
register of members, including any branch register of member, as may be required of it upon
service of an order or notice by the Tax Information Authority pursuant to the Tax
Information Authority Law (2013 Revision) of the Cayman Islands.
(o) Register of Directors and officers
Pursuant to the Cayman Companies Law, the Company is required to maintain at its
registered office a register of directors, alternate directors and officers which is not available
for inspection by the public. A copy of such register must be filed with the Registrar of
Companies in the Cayman Islands and any change must be notified to the Registrar within 60
days of any change in such directors or officers, including a change of the name of such
directors or officers.
(p) Winding up
A Cayman Islands company may be wound up by: (i) an order of the court; (ii)
voluntarily by its members; or (iii) under the supervision of the court.
APPENDIX III SUMMARY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF OUR COMPANYAND CAYMAN ISLANDS COMPANY LAW
– III-24 –
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED ‘‘WARNING’’ ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances
including where, in the opinion of the court, it is just and equitable that such company be so
wound up.
A voluntary winding up of a company (other than a limited duration company, for which
specific rules apply) occurs where the company resolves by special resolution that it be wound
up voluntarily or where the company in general meeting resolves that it be wound up
voluntarily because it is unable to pay its debt as they fall due. In the case of a voluntary
winding up, the company is obliged to cease to carry on its business from the commencement
of its winding up except so far as it may be beneficial for its winding up. Upon appointment
of a voluntary liquidator, all the powers of the directors cease, except so far as the company in
general meeting or the liquidator sanctions their continuance.
In the case of a members’ voluntary winding up of a company, one or more liquidators
are appointed for the purpose of winding up the affairs of the company and distributing its
assets.
As soon as the affairs of a company are fully wound up, the liquidator must make a
report and an account of the winding up, showing how the winding up has been conducted and
the property of the company disposed of, and call a general meeting of the company for the
purposes of laying before it the account and giving an explanation of that account.
When a resolution has been passed by a company to wind up voluntarily, the liquidator
or any contributory or creditor may apply to the court for an order for the continuation of the
winding up under the supervision of the court, on the grounds that: (i) the company is or is
likely to become insolvent; or (ii) the supervision of the court will facilitate a more effective,
economic or expeditious liquidation of the company in the interests of the contributories and
creditors. A supervision order takes effect for all purposes as if it was an order that the
company be wound up by the court except that a commenced voluntary winding up and the
prior actions of the voluntary liquidator shall be valid and binding upon the company and its
official liquidator.
For the purpose of conducting the proceedings in winding up a company and assisting
the court, one or more persons may be appointed to be called an official liquidator(s).The
court may appoint to such office such person or persons, either provisionally or otherwise, as
it thinks fit, and if more than one person is appointed to such office, the court shall declare
whether any act required or authorized to be done by the official liquidator is to be done by
all or any one or more of such persons. The court may also determine whether any and what
security is to be given by an official liquidator on his appointment; if no official liquidator is
appointed, or during any vacancy in such office, all the property of the company shall be in
the custody of the court.

(q) Reconstructions
Reconstructions and amalgamations may be approved by a majority in number
representing 75% in value of the members or creditors, depending on the circumstances, as
are present at a meeting called for such purpose and thereafter sanctioned by the courts.
Whilst a dissenting member has the right to express to the court his view that the transaction
for which approval is being sought would not provide the members with a fair value for their
shares, the courts are unlikely to disapprove the transaction on that ground alone in the
absence of evidence of fraud or bad faith on behalf of management, and if the transaction
were approved and consummated the dissenting member would have no rights comparable to
the appraisal rights (i.e. the right to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined
value of their shares) ordinarily available, for example, to dissenting members of a United
States corporation.
(r) Take-overs
Where an offer is made by a company for the shares of another company and, within
four months of the offer, the holders of not less than 90% of the shares which are the subject
of the offer accept, the offeror may, at any time within two months after the expiration of that
four-month period, by notice require the dissenting members to transfer their shares on the
terms of the offer. A dissenting member may apply to the Cayman Islands courts within one
month of the notice objecting to the transfer. The burden is on the dissenting member to show
that the court should exercise its discretion, which it will be unlikely to do unless there is
evidence of fraud or bad faith or collusion as between the offeror and the holders of the shares
who have accepted the offer as a means of unfairly forcing out minority members.
(s) Indemnification
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of
association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, save to the extent any
such provision may be held by the court to be contrary to public policy, for example, where a
provision purports to provide indemnification against the consequences of committing a crime.
4. GENERAL
Appleby, the Company’s legal adviser on Cayman Islands law, has sent to the Company a
letter of advice which summarises certain aspects of the Companies Law. This letter, together with
a copy of the Companies Law, is available for inspection as referred to in the paragraph headed
‘‘Documents Available for Inspection’’ in Appendix V to this [REDACTED]. Any person wishing
to have a detailed summary of Companies Law or advice on the differences between it and the laws
of any jurisdiction with which he/she is more familiar is recommended to seek independent legal
advice.

A. FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT OUR COMPANY
1. Incorporation
Our Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands under the Companies Law as an
exempted company with limited liability on 27 May 2015. Our Company has established a
principal place of business in Hong Kong at Rooms 2401–02, 24th Floor, Jubilee Centre, 46
Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong and was registered as a non-Hong Kong company in
Hong Kong under Part 16 of the Companies Ordinance on 31 July 2015. Chan Wing Kin, of
8th Floor, Wah On Court, 292 Ma Tau Wai Road, To Kwa Wan, Kowloon, Hong Kong has
been appointed as an authorised representative of our Company for the acceptance of service

Law and its constitution documents comprise the Memorandum of Association and the Articles
of Association. A summary of various parts of the constitution documents and relevant aspects

2. Changes in share capital of our Company
(a) Our Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands under the Companies Law as
an exempted company with limited liability on 27 May 2015 with an authorised
share capital of HK$100,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.01
each. As at the date of incorporation, one subscriber Share was allotted and issued
as fully paid to an initial subscriber, which was transferred to Bigfair Enterprises on
the same date. On 27 May 2015, our Company further allotted and issued as fully
paid 329 Shares to Bigfair Enterprises, 335 Shares to First Global and 335 Shares
to Star Eagle.
(b) Immediately following completion of the [REDACTED] and the Capitalisation Issue
(taking no account of any Shares which may be allotted and issued pursuant to the
exercise of any options that may be granted under the Share Option Scheme), the
authorised share capital of our Company will be HK$100,000,000 divided into
10,000,000,000 Shares and the issued share capital of our Company will be
HK$[REDACTED] divided into [REDACTED] Shares, all fully paid or credited as
fully paid, with [REDACTED] Shares remaining unissued. Other than the Shares
issuable pursuant to the exercise of any options which may fall to be granted under
the Share Option Scheme, or the exercise of the general mandate referred to in the
paragraph headed ‘‘A. Further information about our Company — 3. Written
resolutions of the Shareholders’’ in this Appendix, our Directors have no present
intention to issue any part of the authorised but unissued capital of our Company,
and without the prior approval of the Shareholders in general meeting, no issue of
Shares will be made which would effectively alter the control of our Company.

6. Repurchase by our Company of its own securities
This paragraph contains information required by the Stock Exchange to be included in
this [REDACTED] concerning the repurchase by our Company of its own securities.
(a) Provisions of the GEM Listing Rules
The GEM Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock
Exchange to repurchase their securities on the Stock Exchange subject to certain
restrictions, the most important of which are summarised below:
(i) Shareholders’ approval
All proposed repurchases of securities (which must be fully paid up in the case
of shares) by a company listed on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance
by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders in a general meeting, either by way of
general mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction.
Note: Pursuant to the written resolutions passed by the Shareholders on [.] 2016, the
Repurchase Mandate was given to our Directors authorising our Directors to exercise all
powers of our Company to purchase the Shares as described above in the paragraph
headed ‘‘3. Written resolutions of the Shareholders’’ in this Appendix.
APPENDIX IV STATUTORY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
– IV-5 –
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED ‘‘WARNING’’ ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
(ii) Source of funds
Repurchases must be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in
accordance with the Memorandum and Articles and the GEM Listing Rules and the
applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands. A listed company may not
repurchase its own shares on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than
cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the
Stock Exchange.
Any repurchases by our Company may be made out of profits of our Company
or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of share made for the purpose of the
repurchase or, if authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the
Companies Law, out of capital and, in case of any premium payable on the
repurchase, out of profits of our Company or from sums standing to the credit of
the share premium accounts of our Company, or if authorised by the Articles of
Association and subject to the Companies Law, out of capital.
(iii) Trading restrictions
A company is authorised to repurchase on the Stock Exchange or on any other
stock exchange recognised by the SFC in Hong Kong and the Stock Exchange the
total number of shares which represent up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate
nominal value of the existing issued share capital of that company or warrants to
subscribe for shares in that company representing up to 10% of the amount of
warrants then outstanding at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution
granting the repurchase mandate. A company may not issue or announce an issue of
new securities of the type that have been repurchased for a period of 30 days
immediately following a repurchase of securities whether on the Stock Exchange or
otherwise e (other than an issue of securities pursuant to the exercise of warrants,
share options or similar instruments requiring our company to issue securities,
which were outstanding prior to such repurchase) without the prior approval of the
Stock Exchange. A company is also prohibited from making securities repurchase
on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchases would be that the number of
the listed securities in hands of the public would be below the relevant prescribed
minimum percentage for that company as required and determined by the Stock
Exchange. A company shall not purchase its shares on the Stock Exchange if the
purchase price is higher by 5% or more than the average closing market price for
the five preceding trading days on which its shares were traded on the Stock
Exchange.

– IV-6 –
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED ‘‘WARNING’’ ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
(iv) Status of repurchased securities
The listing of all repurchased securities (whether on the Stock Exchange or
otherwise) is automatically cancelled upon the repurchase and the relevant
certificates must be cancelled and destroyed. Under the Cayman Islands law, a
company’s repurchased shares if not held by our company as treasury shares, may
be treated as cancelled and, if so cancelled, the amount of that company’s issued
share capital shall be reduced by the aggregate nominal value of the repurchased
shares accordingly although the authorised share capital of our company will not be
reduced.
(v) Suspension of repurchase
A listed company shall not make any repurchase of securities at any time after
inside information has come to its knowledge until the information is made publicly
available. In particular, during the period of one month immediately preceding the
earlier of: (aa) the date of the board meeting (as such date is first notified to the
Stock Exchange in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules) for the approval of a
listed company’s results for any year, half-year, quarterly or any other interim
period (whether or not required under the GEM Listing Rules) and (bb) the deadline
for publication of an announcement of a listed company’s results for any year or
half-year under the GEM Listing Rules, or quarterly or any other interim period
(whether or not required under the GEM Listing Rules) and ending on the date of
the results announcement, the listed company may not repurchase its shares on the
Stock Exchange other than in exceptional circumstances and provided that a waiver
on all or any of the restrictions under the GEM Listing Rules has been granted by
the Stock Exchange. In addition, the Stock Exchange may prohibit repurchases of
securities on the GEM if a company has breached the GEM Listing Rules.
(vi) Reporting requirements
Repurchases of securities on the Stock Exchange or otherwise must be
reported to the Stock Exchange not later than 30 minutes before the earlier of the
commencement of the morning trading session or any pre-opening session on the
following trading day. In addition, a company’s annual report and accounts are
required to include a monthly breakdown of securities repurchases made during the
financial year under review, showing the number of securities repurchased each
month (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise), the purchase price per share
or the highest and lowest prices paid for all such repurchases and the total prices
paid. The directors’ report is also required to contain reference to the purchases
made during the year and the directors’ reasons for making such purchases. Our
company shall make arrangements with its broker who effects the purchase to
provide our company in a timely fashion the necessary information in relation to the
purchase made on behalf of our company to enable our company to report to the
Stock Exchange.

(vii) Core connected persons
A listed company is prohibited from knowingly repurchase shares from a core
connected person (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) and a core connected
person shall not knowingly sell his shares to our Company.
(b) Exercise of the Repurchase Mandate
Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate, on the basis of [REDACTED] Shares
in issue immediately after [REDACTED], could accordingly result in up to
[REDACTED] Shares being repurchased by our Company during the period in which the
Repurchase Mandate remains in force.
(c) Reasons for repurchases
Our Directors believe that the ability to repurchase Shares is in the interests of our
Company and the Shareholders. Repurchases may, depending on the market conditions
and funding arrangements, result in an increase in the net assets and/or earning per
Share. Our Directors have sought the grant of a general mandate to repurchase Shares to
give our Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of Shares
to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same
are repurchased will be decided by our Directors at the relevant time having regard to the
circumstances then pertaining.
(d) Funding of repurchases
In repurchasing Shares, our Company may only apply funds legally available for
such purpose in accordance with the Memorandum of Association and Articles of
Association and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.
On the basis of the current financial position of our Group as disclosed in this
[REDACTED] and taking into account the current working capital position of our Group,
our Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full, it
might have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position
of our Group as compared with the position disclosed in this [REDACTED]. However,
our Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as
would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital
requirements of our Group or the gearing levels which in the opinion of our Directors are
from time to time appropriate for our Group.
(e) General
None of our Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all
reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates currently intends to sell any Shares to
our Company.
APPENDIX IV STATUTORY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
– IV-8 –
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED ‘‘WARNING’’ ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
Our Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may
be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM
Listing Rules, the Memorandum and Articles and the applicable laws of the Cayman
Islands.
No core connected person of our Company has notified our Company that he or she
has a present intention to sell Shares to our Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in
the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised.
If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the
voting rights of our Company is increased, such increase will be treated as an acquisition
for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of
Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder’s
interest, could obtain or consolidate control of our Company and become(s) obliged to
make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as
aforesaid, our Directors are not aware of any consequence which would arise under the
Takeovers Code due to any repurchase made pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate
immediately after the [REDACTED].

Options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and Other Schemes
must not, in aggregate, exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the
[REDACTED] (the ‘‘Scheme Mandate Limit’’) provided that Options lapsed in
accordance with the terms of the Shares Option Scheme or Other Scheme will
not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit. On
the basis of [REDACTED] Shares in issue on the [REDACTED], the Scheme
Mandate Limit will be equivalent to [REDACTED] Shares, representing 10%
of the Shares in issue as at the [REDACTED].
(ii) Subject to the approval of Shareholders in general meeting, our Company may
renew the Scheme Mandate Limit to the extent that the total number of Shares
which may be issued upon exercise of all Options to be granted under the
Share Option Scheme and Other Schemes under the Scheme Mandate Limit as
renewed must not exceed 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of such
Shareholders’ approval provided that Options previously granted under the
Share Option Scheme and Other Schemes (including those outstanding,
cancelled, exercised or lapsed in accordance with the terms thereof) will not
be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit as
renewed. In relation to the Shareholders’ approval referred to in this paragraph
(ii), our Company shall send a circular to the Shareholders containing the
information required by the GEM Listing Rules.
(iii) Subject to the approval of Shareholders in general meeting, our Company may
also grant Options beyond the Scheme Mandate Limit provided that Options in

sought. In relation to the Shareholders’ approval referred to in this paragraph
(iii), our Company shall send a circular to the Shareholders containing a
generic description of the identified Eligible Persons, the number and terms of
the Options to be granted, the purpose of granting Options to the identified
Eligible Persons, an explanation as to how the terms of such Options serve the
intended purpose and such other information required by the GEM Listing
Rules.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, our Company may not grant any Options if the
number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding
Options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and
Other Schemes exceeds 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time.

– IV-22 –
THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THEINFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED ‘‘WARNING’’ ONTHE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT.
(f) Time of exercise of Option
An Option may be exercised in accordance with the terms of the Share Option
Scheme at any time during a period to be determined and notified by the Board to each
Participant provided that the period within which the Option must be exercised shall not
be more than 10 years from the date of the grant of Option. The exercise of an Option
may be subject to the achievement of performance target and/or any other conditions to
be notified by the Board to each Participant, which the Board may in its absolute
discretion determine.
(g) Rights are personal to grantee
An Option shall be personal to the Participant and shall not be assignable or
transferable and no Participant shall in any way sell, transfer, charge, mortgage,
encumber or create any interest whether legal or beneficial in favour of any third party
over or in relation to any Option.
(h) Rights on death
If a Participant dies before exercising the Options in full, his or her personal
representative(s) may exercise the Options up to the Participant’s entitlement (to the
extent that it has become exercisable on the date of death and not already exercised)
within a period of 12 months from the date of death, failing which such Options will
lapse.
(i) Changes in capital structure
In the event of any alteration in the capital structure of our Company while an
Option remains exercisable, and such event arises from a capitalisation of profits or
reserves, rights issue, consolidation, reclassification, subdivision or reduction of capital
of our Company, such corresponding alterations (if any) shall be made in the number or
nominal amount of Shares subject to the Options so far as unexercised, and/or the
exercise price, and/or the method of exercise of the Options, and/or the maximum
number of Shares subject to the Share Option Scheme.
Any adjustments required under this paragraph must give a Participant the same
proportion of the equity capital as that to which that Participant was previously entitled
and shall be made on the basis that the aggregate exercise price payable by a Participant
on the full exercise of any Option shall remain as nearly as possible the same (but shall
not be greater than) as it was before such event, but no such adjustments may be made to
the extent that Shares would be issued at less than nominal value and, unless with the
prior approval of the Shareholders in general meeting, no such adjustments may be made
to the advantage of the Participant. For the avoidance of doubt, the issue of securities as
consideration in a transaction may not be regarded as a circumstance requiring
adjustment. In respect of any such adjustments, other than any made on a capitalisation

issue, an independent financial adviser of our Company or the auditors of our Company
must confirm to our Directors in writing that the adjustments satisfy the requirements of
the relevant provisions of the GEM Listing Rules and the supplementary guidance set out
in the letter issued by the Stock Exchange dated 5 September 2005 and any further
guidance/interpretation of the GEM Listing Rules issued by the Stock Exchange from
time to time.
(j) Rights on take-over
If a general offer (whether by way of takeover offer as defined in the Takeovers
Code or scheme of arrangement or otherwise in like manner) has been made to all the
Shareholders (other than the offeror and/or any persons acting in concert with the
offeror), to acquire all or part of the issued Shares, and such offer, having been approved
in accordance with applicable laws and regulatory requirements, becomes or is declared
unconditional, the Participant shall be entitled to exercise his or her outstanding Option
in full or any part thereof within 14 days after the date on which such offer becomes or
is declared unconditional. For the purposes of this sub-paragraph, ‘‘acting in concert’’
shall have the meaning ascribed to it under the Takeovers Code as amended from time to
time.
(k) Rights on a compromise or arrangement
(i) In the event of a notice is given by our Company to the Shareholders to
convene a Shareholders’ meeting for the purpose of considering and approving
a resolution to voluntarily wind up our Company, our Company shall forthwith
give notice thereof to the Participants and the Participants may, by notice in
writing to our Company accompanied by the remittance for the total exercise
price payable in respect of the exercise of the relevant Options (such notice to
be received by our Company not later than two business days prior to the
proposed meeting) exercise the outstanding Option either in full or in part and
our Company shall, as soon as possible and in any event no later than the
business day immediately prior to the date of the proposed Shareholders’
meeting, allot and issue such number of Shares to the Participants which falls
to be issued on such exercise.
(ii) In the event of a compromise or arrangement between our Company and its
members or creditors being proposed in connection with a scheme for the
reconstruction or amalgamation of our Company (other than any relocation
schemes as contemplated in Rule 10.18(3) of the GEM Listing Rules), our
Company shall give notice thereof to all Participants on the same date as it
gives notice of the meeting to its members or creditors to consider such a
scheme of arrangement, and thereupon the Participants may, by notice in
writing to our Company accompanied by the remittance for the total exercise
price payable in respect of the exercise of the relevant Options (such notice to

(vi) the happening of any of the following events, unless otherwise waived by the

respects with the fully paid or credited as fully paid Shares in issue on the date of such

thereto but not yet exercised at the time of termination, which shall continue to be
exercisable in accordance with their terms of grant. Details of the Options granted,
including Options exercised or outstanding, under the Share Option Scheme, and (if
