主席報告書
（續）
As regards our Commercial Services, the outlook for the second half of the year
is promising given the confirmed orders we have already received on hand and
the hot projects expected to be closed and delivered before end of the year.
We are particularly optimistic with the prospect of our Security Solutions business
with the advancement of technology and threats from hackers resulting in more
stringent requirements imposed by the financial regulators thus opening up more
opportunity for us to offer our security solutions to the banking and financial
industry.
For all our business segments, our direction is to go wider and deeper in terms of
geographic, market and service coverage. That said, based on past experience
with our development of new technological solutions, we are mindful about
the time and effort we need not only to develop the solutions but also to get
customers to buy in given the business process and behavioral changes which
usually would require for adoption of such solutions.
Overall speaking, I remain confident of our performance for the remainder of
this year. I therefore have no hesitation in recommending an interim dividend of
HK 3.2 cents per share for the first half of 2017. This represents about 74.1%
payout of our distributable profit of HK$34.3 million after excluding the deferred
tax charge of HK$1.0 million, a handsome increase of 33.3% on the interim
dividend of HK 2.4 cents last year.

就商業服務而言，基於我們手上已接獲的確認訂單，及預期
可於年底前完成及交付的熱門項目，我們看好下半年的前
景。有鑒於科技日新月異、黑客威脅日趨嚴峻，導致金融監
管機構實施更為嚴格的規定，使我們有更多機會向銀行業及
金融業提供保安方案，因此我們尤其對保安方案業務前景感
到樂觀。
至於所有業務分部的發展方向，我們有意全面深入拓展地
區、市場及服務覆蓋範圍。不過，根據我們過往開發新科技
解決方案的經驗，我們注意到我們不僅需要時間和資源開發
解決方案，一般而言還需要客戶改變業務流程及行為習慣才
會接受採用我們的方案。
整體而言，本人仍然對本年度下半年業績充滿信心。因此，
本人欣然建議派發二零一七年上半年的中期股息每股
3.2
港
仙，相當於分派可供分派溢利港幣
34,300,000
元（撇除遞延
稅項支出港幣
1,000,000
元）約
74.1%
，較去年的中期股息
2.4
港仙顯著上升
33.3%
。
