UniVision Engineering Limited

("UniVision" or the "Group")

Annual Report for the Year ended 31 March 2010

UniVision Engineering Limited, the Hong Kong based group whose principal activities are the supply, design, installation and maintenance of closed circuit television and surveillance systems, and the sale of security related products, today announces its audited results for the year ended 31 March 2010.  The full Annual Report and Accounts and Notice of AGM will shortly be posted to shareholders and be made available on the Company's website, www.uvel.com.

Highlights:

·    Turnover decreased by 30% to £6.4m (2009: £9.2m)

·    Gross profit margin slightly reduced to 33.0% (2009: 33.4%)

·    Loss before tax was £10.3m (2009 loss: £0.3m)

·    Basic loss per share increased to 2.70p (2009 loss per share: 0.14p)

·    Net cash generated from operating activities of £1.3m (2009: -£0.1m)

·    Cash and cash equivalents at year end of £0.9m (2009: -£0.1m)

Mr. Stephen Koo, Chairman of UniVision, added: 

"Last year was another difficult year. It is the second year that the Group has recorded a loss after tax since listing on AIM. The Group incurred a substantial loss of £10.3m in the year due to the full impairment loss on the Group's investment in a subsidiary. The result was materially and adversely affected by loss on deconsolidation. Nevertheless, it is a one-off, non-operating item and the Board believes that the said provision will be written back after re-consolidating the subsidiary in the next financial period when the Group recover the right of control over the subsidiary."

"The Group has improved its cash position and generated positive cash flow from operating activities. Our maintenance business is very stable and recorded an increase in revenue in Hong Kong. The business provided a higher profit margin and stable cash flow for the Group. With planned railway lines and the other large scale infrastructure projects launching in Hong Kong in the coming years, we are optimistic on the future business growth."

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

INTRODUCTION

I am pleased to report the Group's audited results for the financial year ended 31 March 2010.

The Group's full year results have been materially and adversely affected by the impact of a full impairment loss on the net assets of Leader Smart Engineering (Shanghai) Limited ("Leader Smart Shanghai" or the "Subsidiary"), the Group's wholly owned subsidiary in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"). This is as a result of the impact of litigation in which the Group is currently involved as announced by the Group on 16 July 2010, and therefore Leader Smart Shanghai is excluded from the Group's consolidated results for the year ended 31 March 2010. The litigation is being dealt with according to the laws and regulations in PRC. The Board of UniVision believe, having taken legal advice from their attorney in PRC, that the Group have a strong case to recover the right of control over Leader Smart Shanghai following a conclusion to the court judgement. The Shanghai High Court reviewed the case on 4 August 2010 and the Board of UniVision anticipate receiving a final verdict on the case shortly. Should the Group recover the right of control over Leader Smart Shanghai, the aforementioned provision would be written back after re-consolidating Leader Smart Shanghai into the Group's accounts in the next financial period.

The turnover of the Group's Security and Surveillance Systems business remained stable during the year, despite the fact that some of our investments and projects were affected and delayed due to the unfavourable market conditions. Our focus on maintenance services has successfully increased the maintenance revenue in Hong Kong, which has lead to steady cash flow for the operation of the Group. We are now working on several infrastructure projects to be implemented in the coming years in Hong Kong, and we also expect growing demand for our Security and Surveillance Systems business in the Greater China Region. The Board of UniVision anticipate an improved trading performance in this division in the coming years. 

The expansion of our Electrical and Mechanical ("E&M") business is ongoing. We are making steady progress on the Zhongshan shopping mall and with a hotel project in Huangshan in the PRC. The Board of UniVision remain confident that the shopping mall project will be completed and operational by the end of 2010 and they continue to evaluate alternative ways to generate value from the project. We are also currently in negotiations on several potential new projects in PRC. With the expected appreciation of the RMB and the property market in PRC, we are cautiously optimistic about our property linked E&M business for the second half of 2010 and for 2011. We are in the process of establishing another WOFE (wholly-owned foreign enterprise) in PRC with an investment cost of HK$30m (£2.6m), which will allow us the opportunity for further expansion. We have also begun work on some new E&M projects in Hong Kong. The development of our E&M business will depend on additional funding being available, as each project is capital intensive.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Due to the temporary loss of control over the financial and operating policies of the Subsidiary, pending a court decision on the litigation with a former employee and legal representative, the assets, liabilities and operating result of the Subsidiary have been deconsolidated from the Group's reporting statements in the year under review. The net asset value of £8.4m has been excluded from the Group's Statement of Financial Position. The loss from the deconsolidation is £8.3m while a £0.8m one-off impairment loss of goodwill for the holding company of the Subsidiary has been incurred in the period. Total adverse impact on the financial results from the deconsolidation is £9.1min the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The Group incurred a substantial loss of £10.3m in the year under review mainly due to the full impairment loss on the Group's investment in the Subsidiary as detailed above. The above non-operating and one-off items led to the Group's total liabilities exceeding its total assets at the end of the year by £2m. Nevertheless, we consider that the loss is mainly caused by the non-cash and provisional items. The Board of UniVision believes that said provisions will be written back after re-consolidating the Subsidiary in the next financial period should the Group recover the right of control over the Subsidiary following the court judgement.

The Group generated net cash of £1.3m from its operating activities in the period (2009: -£0.1m) and also maintained the cash and cash equivalents at 31 March 2010 of £0.9m (31 March 2009: -£0.1m). This illustrates the cash generating capacity from the Group's continuing operations and a healthy cash position. In addition, we believe that the Group will be able to continue to meet its financial obligations with the continuing support from our major shareholder, Mayne Management Limited, for the extension of the US$6m loan facility.  

During the year under review the relative strengthening in the HK$ against sterling has led to an 8.65% appreciation in the GBP reporting amount in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, while a relative weak closing rate at the year-end in the HK$ against sterling led to a 6.05% depreciation in the GBP reporting amount in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. All figures in the Financial Statements therefore need to be adjusted for comparison purposes.

Turnover in the period decreased by 30% to £6.4m (2009: £9.2m).  This reduction was mainly due to the exclusion of turnover in the deconsolidated Subsidiary and the reduction in construction contracts. On the other hand, our maintenance contracts maintained the same revenue levels as last year for the Group as a whole, including an increase in Hong Kong, which contributes a relatively higher profit margin and steady cash flow for the Group's operations. Our major customers in the Security and Surveillance Systems business are public organisations and government departments which provide regular orders, reliable payment schedules and close to zero default risk. With the expected rising demand for the Security and Surveillance Systems business from sizeable proposed government infrastructure projects, we believe that the Group's turnover from this division will be improved in the next financial year.

Gross profit margin slightly reduced to 33.0% (2009: 33.4%) and remains relatively constant due to effective cost control of our human resources, i.e. project and maintenance teams, sub-contractors, logistics teams, and inventory.

Administration expenses decreased by 18.5% from last year to £1.7m (2009: £2m) mainly as a result of the exclusion of the expenses of the Subsidiary from the Group. Finance costs decreased by 16.9% to £0.6m(2009: £0.7m) due to the reduction of the loan interest rate payable to our holding company to 15% p.a. and the cost saving measure of terminating loan and overdraft facilities to our Hong Kong company. No significant capital investment occurred in the current year.

Loss before Interest and Tax (LBIT) was (£9.7m) (2009 earnings: £0.4m). Net loss before income tax was £10.3m (2009 loss: £0.3m). Basic loss per share increased to 2.70p (2009loss per share: 0.14p).

BUSINESS REVIEW

Markets

According to the newly published report "The China Market for CCTV and Video Surveillance Equipment - 2010 edition" by IMS Research, although 2009 was disappointing, the CCTV market is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 20.2 percent between 2010 and 2014 and could be worth an estimated $3.5 billion by 2014. The major drivers for market growth are increasing investment from the government in infrastructure and public security projects.

However, hybrid solutions are being adopted as an alternative when users are looking to update their existing security infrastructure within a restricted budget. In particular the demand for hybrid DVRs is increasing.

The Board of UniVision expects the network video market to show strong growth in the coming years and considers that the Company is well placed to benefit from this growth.

Though we continue to work towards a resolution towards the litigation surrounding our Subsidiary, the E&M business is still our target growth area. Our growth in the E&M business will be largely dependent on our access to funding as the nature of the contracts we are seeking to win are largely capital intensive.

Technologies, Solutions and Products

Our network video surveillance solutions are showing a strong level of demand. Due to the current trend of falling prices of network based devices and increased performance capabilities, we see an increased migration towards network video surveillance solutions in line with our product range in this area. 

We are working to identify suitable products in this area of the market, such as video compression technology, digital encoders and decoders with built-in video analysis algorithms and video management platforms that will provide added value to our existing portfolio of products, in order to cope with the changing market.

Acquisitions and Investments

The Group continues to assess possible opportunities of new investments with a view to making a further strategic move.

MTR Corporation Limited ("MTR") & Maintenance

Our maintenance contracts are particularly important to the business as they provide regular and reliable revenue streams and cash flow. I am delighted that we have achieved substantial growth in this area of the business. In particular, our relationship with the MTR railway in Hong Kong has proved to be extremely positive. We are confident that we will be able to secure other contracts in future confirmed and planned railway line developments in the coming five years.

GOING CONCERN AND AUDITOR'S REPORT

The financial statements show a loss of £10.3m during the year ended 31 March, 2010 and, as of that date, the Group's total liabilities exceed its total assets by £2.0m. In light of the sufficiency of proceeds from the Group's continuing operations and, on the basis that the Group can continue to successfully refinance or obtain sufficient bank and other borrowings, the Board of UniVision are confident of meeting their financial obligations when they fall due in the foreseeable future.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result should there be a shortfall of proceeds from the Group's continuing operations or if other funding required by the Group from refinancing or banks and other financial institutions is not forthcoming. 

The report of the auditor on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2010 will not be qualified but will include an emphasis of matter in respect of this uncertainty over going concern.

PROSPECTS

Our Security and Surveillance Systems business remains stable, although it declined slightly in the reporting period as compared with 2009. Due to the infrastructure projects to be implemented in the coming years in Hong Kong, as well as the expected growing demand for Security and Surveillance Systems solutions in the Greater China Region, the Board of UniVision have a positive outlook for this area of our business in the coming years.

The E&M business in the PRC is still one of our growth targets. However, our growth will depend on access to funds. Additional funding will be required for certain current projects, as well as future potential projects.

Finally, on behalf of the Board of UniVision, I would like to thank our customers, suppliers and shareholders for their continued support of UniVision. I would also like to acknowledge the hard work of the management and all the staff for their contribution and dedication to the Group.

UNIVISION ENGINEERING LIMITED

SELECTED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 March 2010

These notes have been extracted from and should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report and Accounts which will be available shortly on the Company's website at www.uvel.com.

1.      GENERAL

UniVision Engineering Limited ("the Company") is incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability and its shares are listed on the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange ("AIM").  The address of the registered office is 8/F Lever Tech Centre, 69-71 King Yip Street, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

The financial statements are presented in Sterling Pound ("£") and the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Group") is Hong Kong Dollars ("HK$").  As the Company is listed on AIM, the directors consider that this presentation is more useful for its current and potential investors.

The Company is engaged in the supply, design, installation and maintenance of closed circuit television and surveillance systems, the sale of security system related products and provision for electronic and mechanical services.  The principal activities of its subsidiaries are set out in note 18 to the financial statements.

2.      BASIS OF PREPARATION

(a)     Going concern basis

In preparing the financial statements, the directors of the Company have given careful consideration to the future liquidity of the Group in the light of the fact that the Group incurred a loss of £10,348,258 during the year ended 31 March 2010 and, as of that date, the Group's total liabilities exceed its total assets by £2,053,425.

Taking into account the sufficiency of proceeds from its continuing operations and provided that the Group can continue to successfully refinance or obtain sufficient bank and other borrowings, the directors of the Company are satisfied that the Group will be able to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future and accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

(b)     Subsidiary deconsolidated

Notwithstanding that the Group holds 100% equity interest in Leader Smart Engineering (Shanghai) Limited ("LSSH") for the year ended 31 March 2010, this company was no longer regarded as a subsidiary of the Group as the directors of the Company are of the opinion that the Group did not control this company during the year.

Pursuant to the shareholders' meetings of LSSH held on 10 September 2009 and 12 October 2009 respectively, it was approved that the designation of Mr. Ip Kam Ming ("Ip") as the chairman, director and legal representative of LSSH was revoked with immediate effect, due to his suspected misconduct and non-disclosure of conflict of interest.  On 5 January 2010, the holding company, Leader Smart Engineering Limited ("LSHK") took legal action against Ip to demand the return of LSSH's corporate, financial and contract chops, business license, certificate of approval and books and records (the "Properties") and the case was lodged with the Shanghai No.1 Intermediate People's Court (the "Court").

In accordance with a civil ruling issued on 6 January 2010, the Properties of LSSH were sealed and withheld by the Court and the directors of the Company were unable to access its Properties.  On 20 May 2010, the Court issued a civil judgement that Ip no longer legally acted as the director, chairman and legal representative of LSSH and demanded Ip to return the Properties to LSHK.

However Ip refused to follow the court decision and the Group commenced appeal proceedings to the Shanghai High Court (the "High Court") on 18 June 2010 and the trial was held at the High Court on 4 August 2010.

The directors of the Company are of the opinion that the Group no longer has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of LSSH and accordingly the Group no longer has control of LSSH,notwithstanding that the Group holds a 100% equity interest in LSSH. It is no longer regarded as a subsidiary of the Group from 1 April 2009, whereby certain transactions were not approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, and are considered invalid and unauthorised in LSSH during the year from 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010. Hence, the directors resolved to deconsolidate LSSH effective from 1 April 2009.

Accordingly, the results of LSSH were excluded from the consolidated financial statements since 1 April 2009.  The consolidated statement of comprehensive income presented a loss on deconsolidation of £8,324,208.  Details of the deconsolidation of LSSH are stated in note 28.

The Group has adopted IFRS 8 with effect from 1 April 2009.  IFRS 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about the components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, chief executive officer, for the purpose of allocating resources to the segment and to assess its performance.  In contrast, the predecessor standard (IAS 14, Segment Reporting) required an entity to identify two sets of segments (business and geographical) using a risks and returns approach.  In the past, the Group's primary reporting format was business.  The application of IFRS 8 has not resulted in a redesignation of the Group's reportable segments as compared with the primary reportable segments determined in accordance with IAS 14, nor has the adoption of IFRS 8 changed the basis of measurement of segment profit or loss.

The Group is organised into the following business segments:

- Construction contracts

- Maintenance contracts

- Product sales

- Solution sales

- Management fee
