Chairman’s Statement
主席報告書
Prospects (continued)
In my statement in the 2016 Interim Report, I have shared with our
shareholders the Company’s new Mission Statement: “To empower our clients
with business enabled e-solutions for their commercial and financial activities”.
Setting the overall Company goal, our new Company Mission Statement
provides a solid framework to help guide the Company’s business strategy and
planning. Specifically I would like to reaffirm our Company business goal which
is to provide not only e-commerce solutions for supply chain management
(which we aimed at when the Company was first established), but also
e-solutions and products in other arena, primarily, for the financial industry.
We have started diversifying our business in areas outside e-commerce, like
our e-security solutions business some years ago. As always leveraging on our
technical skill, innovation and sound domain knowledge, and with this new
Mission Statement as our goal, we would further step up our investment on
research and development of new initiatives in areas that would help expand
our businesses. In this regard, I am glad that we have made some good
progress though we would still need some more time to bed down the details.
Dividends
Taking our shareholders’ interests as our priority, the board of directors of the
Company (the “Board” or the “Board of Directors”) has decided to recommend
a nearly 100% payout of the Group’s profit of HK$70.4 million after excluding
the deferred tax credit of HK$8.9 million for 2016. This means a final dividend
of HK 6.3 cents, which together with the interim dividend of HK 2.4 cents, will
result in a total dividend of HK 8.7 cents for 2016, same as the total dividend
for 2015.
Acknowledgement
As always, I am thankful for the continued support from my fellow Board
members and grateful to the staff for their hard work in the past year.

展望（續）
於二零一六年中期報告主席報告書中，本人與股東分享本公
司之新營運理念：「貿易通專業電子方案，成就客戶商業及
金融業務」。新營運理念提供堅實框架，為訂立本公司整體
目標，協助指引本公司之業務策略及計劃。本人謹此特別重
申，本公司業務目標不只為供應鏈管理提供電子商貿方案
（其為本公司初立時之目標），亦為以金融行業為主之其他領
域提供專業電子解決方案。我們早在數年前已在電子商貿業
務以外（例如我們之電子保安方案業務）開拓多元化新業務。
我們將如常運用技術、創意及專業領域知識，加上新營運理
念作為我們的目標，進一步投資研發有助擴大業務之新舉
措。就此，即使我們仍需要更多時間沉澱成果，但本人對現
階段進展感到滿意。

70,400,000
元（不包

作為股息，

港仙，二零
一六年度股息合共

一如既往，本人謹此感謝過去一年董事會成員之鼎力支持和
各位員工之竭誠付出。
