COMPANY OUTLOOK
With the cessation of the LCM business in April 2014, the Company has been focusing its effort in developing the land parcels in Shenzhen.
In relation to the land parcels (in Guangming and Gushu) in Shenzhen, the construction permit application processes have been proceeding smoothly, and we believe that we can obtain the necessary permits and approvals to carry out the next stages of our property development projects on schedule.
For the Guangming project (Phase 1), the construction permit application processes have been proceeding smoothly, and we are in the process of selecting the suitable and qualified professional architectural firm for the next stage of the project. The construction phase of the Guangming project (Phase 1) is expected to commence in Q1 of 2016. The Guangming project (Phase 2) will commence upon the completion of Guangming project (Phase 1). Based on the current timetable, the construction at the Gushu area is expected to commence no earlier than 2017.
A summary of our planned gross floor area (“GFA”) of the two Shenzhen land parcels is as follows:
| Guangming | Gushu | |||||||||||||||
| Phase 1 | Phase 2 | Phase 1 | Phase 2 | |||||||||||||
| Plot ratios |
2.55 to 3.78 | 6.25 | ||||||||||||||
| Gross floor area sq. meters |
265,000 | 127,000 | 140,000 | 140,000 | ||||||||||||
| Underground floor area sq. meters |
67,600 | 33,600 | 27,500 | 27,500 | ||||||||||||
| GFA subtotal (by land area) sq. meters |
493,200 | 335,000 | ||||||||||||||
Please note that the eventual plot ratio and GFA for the two parcels of land could be different from the above, are subject to the final approval of the relevant authorities in China.
Overall, the real estate market in China has shown signs of continuous slow down. It has been reported that Shenzhen is the only first-tier city in China that has recorded modest increases in the average selling price of properties sold recently. Since our land is located in Shenzhen, the demand in property market has remained healthy.
As previously announced, we are in the process of seeking potential joint venture partners for the development of the land parcels in Shenzhen. To this effect, we have engaged external agents to source suitable, capable and experienced joint venture partners. Before a joint venture partner is secured, we will work with other external professional firms in all material matters concerning our permit applications. In the event that no suitable joint venture partners can be found, we will continue with the land development projects mainly by relying on and supported by external professional firms. At this juncture, we do not foresee any immediate difficulties in the application process. We will continue to make announcements from time to time to keep shareholders informed about material developments.
As for our Wuxi plant, all production line machinery has been sold and the factory building continues to be listed for sale.
3
The current headcount of our Group is approximately 60 and we believe that our overhead expenses are under control. We currently derive a majority of our income from rental and interest income. Any future reductions in the official cash deposit interest rates in China and Hong Kong could adversely impact our income. As of December 31, 2014, total cash was $258 million (net of the $40 million HSBC loan). As a result of our cash position, we believe our finances remain healthy to fund the initial stages of these property development projects in the next two to three years. However, the total cash on hand will gradually reduce as more funds are being used for land development related expenditures, which will be capitalized on the balance sheets, for the land in Gushu and Guangming, Shenzhen. We do not anticipate future fluctuation of the USD against RMB to impact us much as a majority, if not all, of the payments for operations are denominated in RMB. However, as our reporting currency is in USD, the fluctuation of RMB against USD will impact our financial statements where the PRC operating results and financial position are translated to USD for reporting purposes. All our land development related applications are subject to government policies and regulations in the real estate market. However, we cannot assure you that we will obtain all the necessary approvals in accordance with our timetable. Furthermore, this is our first venture into the land development projects after the cessation of the LCM business, we may encounter industry-specific difficulties that result in losses as we progress with our projects in Shenzhen.
The information contained in or that can be accessed through the website mentioned in this announcement does not form part of this announcement.
SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM UPDATE
The stock repurchase program announced on May 7, 2014 was completed on November 28, 2014. The share repurchase has been conducted in accordance with Rule 10b-18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. During this 6-month period, we have bought back a total of 2,669,413 common shares from the open market for a total consideration of $17.6 million (represents an average price of $6.56 per share). The $40.0 million loan from HSBC to finance the share repurchase program will be repaid in May 2015 upon maturity.
PAYMENT OF QUARTERLY DIVIDENDS FOR 2014 and 2015
As announced on December 19, 2014, the Company has set the payment schedule of quarterly dividends for 2015. The dividend for Q1 2015 was paid on January 20, 2015.
The following table updates the previously announced schedule for declaration and payment of quarterly dividends in 2015.

The Company’s decision to continue dividend payments in 2015 as set out and confirmed in the above table does not necessarily mean that cash dividend payments will continue thereafter. Whether future dividends after 2015 are to be declared will depend upon the Company’s future growth and earnings at each relevant period, of which there can be no assurance, and the Company’s cash flow needs for business transformation. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that cash dividends on the Company’s common shares will be declared beyond those declared for 2015, and we also cannot assure you that the amounts of such dividends will be or whether such dividends, once declared for a specific period, will continue for any future period, or at all.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE OUR SHARE PRICE TO DECLINE
Certain statements included in this press release, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “seek” or “believe”. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, may include projections of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies and anticipated trends in our business. These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations about future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance, or achievements to differ materially from the results, level of activities, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, delay in the Company’s ability to obtain all requisite permits and approvals from relevant government authorities in relation to the redevelopment of two parcels of properties in Gushu, Shenzhen, and Guangming, Shenzhen, respectively, and the successfully redevelopment of the two parcels of properties; the sufficiency of the Company’s cash position and other sources of liquidity to fund its property developments; continued inflation and appreciation of the Renminbi against the US dollar; rising labor costs in China and changes in the labor supply and labor relations. In particular, you should consider the risks outlined under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and in our Current Report filed from time to time on Form 6-K. The Company’s decision to continue dividend payments in 2015 does not necessarily mean that dividend payments will continue thereafter. Whether future dividends will be declared depend upon the Company’s future growth and earnings, of which there can be no assurance, as well as the Company’s cash flow needs for further expansion. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that cash dividends on the Company’s common shares will be declared beyond those declared for 2015, what amount those dividends may be or whether such dividends, once declared for a specific period, will continue for any future period, or at all; and whether we will purchase any of our shares in the open markets or otherwise. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance, or achievements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. These forward-looking statements apply only as of the date of this press release; as such, they should not be unduly relied upon as circumstances change. Except as required by law, we are not obligated, and we undertake no obligation, to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements that might reflect events or circumstance occurring after the date of this release or those that might reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Note:
| (1) | According to the definition of “Balance Sheet” under the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 210-10-20, cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash. Only investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased qualify under that definition. Therefore, the fixed deposits maturing over three months with amount of $85.3 million and $201.6 million as at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are not classified as cash and cash equivalents but require separate disclosure in the balance sheet. |
| (2) | Total cash of $298.1 million as at December 31, 2014 included $40.0 million short term bank loan borrowed from HSBC with a term of one year and as of December 31, 2014, $17.6 million out of $40.0 million has been utilized to repurchase 2,669,413 common shares. The remaining funds from this short term bank loan have been placed in time deposits as at December 31, 2014. |
| (3) | Short term bank borrowing represented the short term bank loan of $40.0 million borrowed from HSBC with a term of one year from May 28, 2014 to May 28, 2015. |
| (4) | Common shares are stated after the cancellation of 2,669,413 shares repurchased and cancelled up to November 28, 2014 when the share repurchase program was officially terminated. |
