Chairman’s Statement
主席報告書
Dear Shareholders,
致各位股東：
回顧
對很多人來說，二零一六年環球局勢意外重重，由年初之英
國脫歐到年尾之新任美國總統大選結果，均可能為全球經
濟帶來諸多不明朗因素及不安情緒。此外，中國市場增長
持續放緩及美國聯儲局於年內加息，亦為市場蒙上陰影。在
這大環境下，我們欣然報告本集團之二零一六年表現持續平
穩。一如本人於二零一六年中期報告主席報告書所料，我們
下半年表現大幅改善，原因是一方面核心業務政府電子貿
易服務（「
GETS
」）仍能延續其輕微增長勢頭，另一方面是因
完成上半年延誤之商業服務及保安方案項目，以及我們於年
底前簽署並交付數個新項目。我們之收益由二零一五年港幣
222,700,000
元增加至二零一六年港幣
231,300,000
元，較
去年同期上升
3.9%
。由於我們出售所持國富瑞數據系統有
限公司（「國富瑞」）股權錄得的額外款項，加上我們較佳的資
金管理，故此於二零一六年，本集團利息收入及出售企業債
券收益較二零一五年增加輕微超過港幣
10,000,000
元。我
們之營運成本與二零一五年相若，二零一六年之經營溢利為
港幣
91,900,000
元，較去年同期上升近
6.9%
。然而，受到
我們中國聯營公司之影響，相對於二零一五年分佔溢利港幣
6,600,000
元，二零一六年分佔虧損港幣
10,600,000
元，差
距幅度為港幣
17,200,000
元，因此本集團於二零一六除稅前
溢利下跌
12.1%
至港幣
81,400,000
元。計及確認數碼貿易運
輸網絡有限公司（「
DTTNCo
」）未動用稅項虧損所產生遞延稅
項抵免，本集團二零一六年之除稅後溢利為港幣
79,300,000
元，較去年同期輕微減少
2.6%
。
細閱我們二零一六年業績時，實情倘撇除於二零一五年出售
所持國富瑞股權之一次性收益港幣
12,000,000
元，我們於二
零一六年之除稅前溢利及淨溢利會分別較二零一五年上升港
幣
800,000
元及港幣
9,900,000
元。
Review
To a lot of us, 2016 was a year full of surprises in the global arena, from
Brexit early the year to the result of the new US president election later in
the year, all of which would potentially bring in significant uncertainties and
uneasiness to the global economy. Added to such unsettledness were the
continuous slowdown of the growth of the China market and the US Federal
Reserve’s interest rate increase during the year which further clouded the
market sentiment. Against this backdrop, we are glad to report that the Group’s
performance for 2016 continued to be steady and stable. As foreshadowed in
my statement in the 2016 Interim Report, our performance in the second half
of the year caught up quite substantially as, on one hand, our core business
in Government Electronic Trading Services (“GETS”) continued its growth
momentum, albeit small; and on the other hand, projects for our Commercial
Services and Security Solutions delayed in the first half were completed and
we have several new projects signed and delivered before the end of the year.
Our revenue increased from HK$222.7 million in 2015 to HK$231.3 million in
2016, up 3.9% year-on-year. Partly due to the additional proceeds from the
sale of our stake in the China International Data Systems Co., Ltd (“Guofurui”)
and partly as a result of a better treasury function, the Group’s interest income
as well as gains on disposals of corporate bonds recorded an increase of a bit
more than HK$10 million in 2016 compared to 2015. Keeping our operating
costs at almost same level as 2015, our operating profit for 2016 at HK$91.9
million was up almost 6.9% year-on-year. However affected by the results of
our PRC associates, a share loss of HK$10.6 million in 2016 vis-à-vis a share
gain of HK$6.6 million in 2015, a swing of HK$17.2 million, the Group’s profit
before tax in 2016 dropped 12.1% to HK$81.4 million. Taking into account
the recognition of the deferred tax credit arising from the unused tax losses of
Digital Trade and Transportation Network Limited (“DTTNCo”), the Group’s
after tax profit for 2016 at HK$79.3 million, was down slightly by 2.6% year-
on-year.
Looking closer into our results in 2016, indeed should the one-off gain
of HK$12.0 million from the disposal of our stake in Guofurui in 2015 be
excluded, our before tax profit and net profit for 2016 would have increased by
HK$0.8 million and HK$9.9 million respectively compared to the same figures
in 2015.
