(LED) LED Intl Hldgs

5 January 2011

LED International Holdings Limited

(the "Company" or "LED")

Joint Venture and loan from Director

The board of directors of LED (the "Directors") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent ("LOI") with Guodian East China New Energy Investment Co., Ltd ("Guodian") and Shanghai Tong Sheng Opto-Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. ("Tong Sheng") to form a joint venture company in Shanghai (the "JV"). The LOI has been approved by China Guodian Corporation, Guodian's ultimate holding company. The JV will be established in order to enter into energy management contracts ("EMC") in energy saving projects in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"). Under the EMC contracts, the JV will fit energy saving products to the customer's premises, including lighting and reactance filtering equipment supplied by LED, and subsequent savings made by the customer in its electricity bills are then shared between the JV and the customer thereby enabling the JV to generate recurring revenue rather than one-off sales revenue. The Directors believe that these EMC contracts will also be capable of generating tradable carbon credits. The initial equity capital of the JV will be RMB5.0m (approximately £512,000) and LED will own 30% of the JV with Guodian owning 40% and Tong Sheng owning the remaining 30%.  The Directors expect that the JV will be established within 6 months and further announcements will be made at the appropriate time.

Guodian is a wholly-owned subsidiary of East China Company of China Guodian Corporation. China Guodian Corporation, a Global Fortune 500 corporation, is one of the five largest nationwide power generation groups approved by the State Council of the PRC in the power industry in the PRC. China Guodian Corporation has various operations in nearly 200 power enterprises covering 31 provinces in the PRC.  Guodian is the strategic arm of China Guodian Corporation and has been tasked with diversifying China Guodian Corporation's group business into the new energy sector in the PRC.

The JV will use LED's lighting and reactance filtering energy saving solutions under the EMC business model for enterprises located in Shanghai, Jiangsu Province and Shandong Province over the next three years. Following this, the Directors intend that the JV will pursue opportunities in other Provinces in the PRC. The first pre-test of reactance filtering energy saving solution project will be a power plant owned and operated by East China Company of China Guodian Corporation in the Jiangsu Province. Once this has been completed successfully, the Directors expect that additional power plants owned by China Guodian Corporation in the PRC will follow. Guodian and Tong Sheng are currently negotiating a number of different indoor and outdoor lighting EMCs and further announcements will be made at the appropriate time. Tong Sheng has arranged the necessary initial bank finance for the JV in order to finance the EMC business model. Whilst they view the JV as an important step for LED, the Directors do not expect that the JV will provide a significant revenue contribution to LED until the first half of 2013.

In order to finance LED's contribution in setting up the JV, the Company has entered into an unsecured loan arrangement with Mr. Thomas Li, Chairman of LED, for HK$3.0m (approximately RMB2.44m or £250,000) (the "Loan").  The Loan will attract interest of 4 per cent. above 3 month LIBOR for HK$s and is repayable by LED within twelve months of the date of drawdown.

As Mr. Li is a director of the Company, the Loan constitutes a related party transaction pursuant to Rule 13 of the AIM Rules for Companies. The Company's directors (other than Mr. Li), having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, Allenby Capital Limited, consider that the terms of the Transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's shareholders are concerned.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

LED International Holdings Limited (AIM:LED) (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together the "Group") specialize in the development, manufacture and sale of lower powered light-emitting diode ("LED") screens, outdoor signs, lamps, lighting and building illumination; and high powered/medium powered LED energy efficient indoor and outdoor lighting products. The Board of Directors (the "Board") is pleased to report on the final results of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2011.

The shareholders should note that our independent auditor, PKF, has qualified certain comparative figures of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011.

QUALIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

In preparing the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2010, the Company had deconsolidated Shenzhen China-LED Photo Technology Limited ("Shenzhen LED") as from 17 April 2010. The Board considered that the Group's control over Shenzhen LED has been lost, further details of which are set out in note 2(h) to the Accounts.

Due to the effect of the limitation described in note 2(h) to the Accounts, the auditor's opinion on the Accounts is also modified because of the possible effect of this matter on the comparability of the current year's figures and the corresponding figures.

The Board wishes to reassure shareholders that the independent auditor's qualification on the opening balances and corresponding figures has no financial impact on the Group's financial position at 30 June 2011 and the Accounts. The Board expects that the auditor's same qualification on opening balances and corresponding figures will be removed from the Group's subsequent financial statements.

MARKET REVIEW

A LED is a compound semiconductor device that converts electricity to light. Early LEDs are used as indicator lamps in many devices and modern versions of LEDs are available across the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared wavelengths with high brightness. LEDs are increasingly used for other lighting.

LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved robustness, smaller size, and faster switching. LEDs powerful enough for indoor and outdoor lighting are relatively expensive and require more precise current and heat management than compact fluorescent lamp and other lamp sources of comparable output.

The Chinese government has introduced a series of policies and regulations designed to promote, encourage and regulate energy conservation in the country and clearly stated its desire to promote energy conservation in its 12th Five-Year Plan. On 4 November 2011, the National Development and Reform Commission published a notice to gradually replace the import and sale of incandescent lamps in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"). Phasing out the incandescent lamps offers a lot of market opportunities for the lighting industry in the PRC. In view of this changing background, the Group targets becoming one of the leading energy management service providers in the PRC.

OPERATING REVIEW

The global business environment has picked up slowly from the economic recessions especially in Europe and the US throughout the year under review. The Group has expanded its business scope, focused on the domestic market and provided higher value-added products and services in the PRC. During the year under review, and as announced on 10 June 2011, the Group was awarded a significant energy management contract from Hotel Novotel Shenzhen Bauhinia and Golden Gala Restaurant based in Shenzhen, the PRC.

The slowing down of the market demands in the domestic market and rising costs in the PRC posed the major challenge to the Group during the financial year, and it was made worse by further wage rises and Renminbi appreciation.  These factors impacted on the Group's gross margin and resulted in an operating loss for the year ended 30 June 2011.

In responding to the above factors, the Board is continuing to implement measures to diversify sources of revenue and to reduce expenditure, control production costs and expand the customer base in different areas, such as overseas markets, where there is demand for higher value products. The Board considers that the overall Group's operations remainsound.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Revenue and total comprehensive expense attributable to shareholders of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2011 amounted to approximately HK$27,517,000 (approximately £2,264,000) (2010 : HK$36,267,000) and HK$26,618,000 (approximately £2,190,000) (2010 : HK$27,493,000) respectively. During the financial year ended 30 June 2011, the Group achieved a slight reduction in operating revenue by HK$8,750,000 (approximately £720,000) over 2010.  The drop in operating revenue was caused mainly by the slowing down of the market demands in the domestic market in the PRC.  Furthermore, the reduction in gross profit by HK$2,191,000 (approximately £180,000) from the previous yearwas a result of rising manufacturing and production costs compounded by wage rises and Renminbi appreciation.

Operating revenue for the year generated from LED element products mainly supplied to major home appliance manufacturers in the PRC, decreased by HK$13,428,000 (approximately £1,105,000) from the same period in 2010.  The Group strengthened its product quality controls and customer relationships with the existing major customers and attempted to diversify these sources of revenue and customers during the financial year.  The Group generated operating revenue from LED lighting products of HK$4,678,000 (approximately £385,000) during the year.

The operating gross margin for LED element products of approximately 6.4% was achieved during the financial year, 5.8% lower than 2010, due to rising manufacturing and production costs. Moreover, the operating gross margin of LED lighting products was approximately 16.9%.

The Group continued to strengthen its controls on continuing operating expenditures during the financial year.

In response to the intense competition in LED products in the PRC, the Group has worked to strengthen its research and development capabilities through the acquisition of Shenzhen Strongbase New Opto-Electronics Technology Co. Ltd. ("Strongbase New") to further raise its brand profile to distinguish itself from generic LED product suppliers, as contained under the heading of Corporate Restructuring below.

CONTRACT UPDATE

1.         Completion of construction of LED Screen for the North Point Project

The Board was pleased to announce the completion of construction and official commercial operation on 21 July 2011 of a giant LED display screen (the "LED Screen") at Harbour Grand Hotel, North Point, Hong Kong (the "Hotel").

The Company first announced the development of the LED Screen and outdoor façade lighting (the "Façade") for the Hotel on 23 April 2008 (the "North Point Project").  The LED Screen was completed within budget. However, due to additional requirements and new specifications from the developer, the original completion date of the LED Screen was postponed to 13 June 2011. The LED Screen is now displayed in a prominent position on the front of the Hotel where it can be viewed from across Victoria Harbour.

The completion of the LED Screen marks the end of the first phase of the North Point Project and the beginning of its second phase: the construction of the Façade.  The Company is currently testing samples of the LED lights to be used in the Façade and expects the Façade to be completed in early 2012.

2.         Major energy management contract secured

As announced on 10 June 2011, the Company's indirect subsidiary, Strongbase New was awarded a significant energy management contract (the "EMC Contract") from Hotel Novotel Shenzhen Bauhinia and Golden Gala Restaurant based in Shenzhen, the PRC (collectively, the "Hotel").  The projected revenue under the EMC Contract to Strongbase New is approximately RMB5,500,000 (approximately £550,000).

Under the EMC Contract, Strongbase New provides lighting and reactance filtering energy-saving solutions to the Hotel. Specifically, Strongbase New overhauls the Hotel's existing lighting and power consumption systems (which are based on traditional lighting technology and power generation equipment) with new energy-saving LED light bulbs and reactance filtering equipment provided by it.  Strongbase New's LED light bulbs and reactance filtering equipment are installed in all interior, public, car park and outdoor areas, and power facility respectively of the Hotel. Strongbase New bears all the upfront costs associated with the supply and installation of the LED light bulbs and equipment at the Hotel's premises and then recoups these costs by sharing in the actual monthly energy savings generated by the Hotel's use of the energy-saving solutions for the next 6 years the Hotel will pay these to Strongbase New on a monthly basis.

The Hotel entered into the EMC Contract after the successful completion of a ten-month period of testing.  As of the date of this report, Strongbase New has successfully completed the installation and the testing of energy efficiency of its reactance filtering equipment for the Hotel.  Strongbase New expects to complete the full installation of LED light bulbs and lighting solutions by the end of 2011 and start collecting its sharing of monthly energy savings from the Hotel in early 2012.

3.         Major supply contract awarded

Strongbase New was awarded a significant contract by Beijing Wei Cheng Xin De Decoration Engineering Limited (the "Purchaser") for the supply and installation of LED light bulbs (the "Contract"), further details of which were announced on 30 June 2011.  The projected revenue under the Contract to Strongbase New is approximately RMB2,730,000 (approximately £273,000).

The Purchaser is a major engineering company in the business of renovation, fitting-out works and maintenance works for property developments in the PRC. As of the date of this report, Strongbase New has almost completed the supply and installation of LED light bulbs under the Contract. Strongbase New has received approximately 80% of the payments under the Contract and it will begin a 3-year warranty period upon completion of the Contract.  The delay in completion of the Contract is caused by the supply of certain parts and components not in accordance with the products specification of the Contract by the supplier.  Strongbase New has been negotiating with the Purchaser and requesting the supplier to rectify the products specification in accordance with the Contract.   The Group expects it would be resolved in early 2012.

CURRENT OUTLOOK AND PROSPECTS

Realizing the short-term uncertainties in the global economy, the Group adopts a conservative approach towards its exploration of market opportunities. In light of the sovereign debt crises in Europe and the high unemployment in the US, the Group primarily focuses on the growing domestic EMC market opportunities in the PRC. The Group is also optimistic of exporting its LED lighting products under its brand name "Green Pearl" to Japan.  The Board remains cautiously optimistic and confident in the Group's business, market and product penetration with long-term growth potential in the PRC. Furthermore, the Board considers that the overall operations of the Group remain sound. The Group has endeavoured to diversify its sources of revenues and customers in both the domestic market in the PRC and overseas. In view of recent fast and dynamic developments in the markets, the Group will pursue different strategies towards different products and markets for the foreseeable future, as set out below.

1.         Low power LED display screens and modules

In order to equip and facilitate the Group in meeting customers' orders and demands, Kepu's manufacturing facility has relocated to new production plant and location. The Group intends to strengthen its customer relationship with major customers in the PRC.  Currently, Kepu supplies LED display screens and modules for major customers' exports of air-conditioners and microwave ovens. Kepu has also expanded its products to supply displays for refrigerators bound for the export market.  As a result, the Group expects the new business will contribute to the Group's operating revenue for the current financial year and for the future.  The Group plans to continue to expand the business with its existing major customers and business opportunities with other major potential customers in the market.

2.         High power and mid power LED lightings

Following the formation of the New Joint Venture, as set out under the heading of Joint Ventures above, the Group endeavours to develop and expand its existing LED lighting solutions under the EMC business model.

The Group is currently developing and expanding its existing business through the development of LED energy saving lighting solutions by offering a series of LED light bulbs, LED spot lights, LED candle lights, LED par lights, LED tubes and LED panels under its registered trademark of "Green Pearl".  The Group is in negotiations with a number of additional potential customers under EMC in the hotel, real estate, education and retail (bookstores, chain stores, petrol stations etc.) sectors and also with state-owned enterprises to supply street lights on a joint basis in some major cities in the PRC.  In order to launch the EMC business model more widely, the Group is in negotiations with certain banks, both regional and Chinese, to provide debt financing. Further announcements will be made in relation to this at the appropriate time.

The Board believes that the Group's expertise in the LED sector, as well as its focus on higher value added CREE, Inc. based products, can help the Group to focus on the niche markets such as LED street lights integrating with solar power supply and specialized power storage devices. In addition, the Board believes it is a positive indication of the Group's progress in the development of its higher-end LED products.  The Group is developing higher value added LED products, such as LED lighting business and to focus on areas, for instance, Japan, where demand will remain strong.

3.         LED real estate advertising screens

Another key objective of the Board is to further develop the Group's expertise in producing high quality, reliable and innovative LED products and solutions and the Board intends to exploit this expertise in the LED sector to explore business opportunities in the LED related media business. China has a comparatively low per capita spending in outdoor advertising and, coupled with the Chinese government's determination to promote domestic consumption in 2012, the Board believes there are good opportunities for the Group to enter the outdoor media market and to leverage its LED products and established relationships with leading media players in the PRC. The Group is also looking for other sources of outdoor media markets overseas.

APPRECIATION

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

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.  The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.  Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

            (g)        Going concern

The Group incurred a consolidated net loss from operations attributable to the owners of the Company of approximately HK$26,887,000 for the year ended 30 June 2011 and had net current liabilities of approximately HK$10,980,000 at that date.  The Group is currently undertaking a number of measures to improve its liquidity and financial position.  The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, the validity of which depends upon the ongoing financial support from the Company's substantial shareholders to finance the Group's future working capital for its continuing operations.

During the year ended 30 June 2011 and subsequently, management has taken measures to improve the liquidity and financial position of the Group as follows :-

1.         The Group has been discussing with prospective investors to obtain new working capital and completed a placing of 12,500,000 new ordinary shares with gross proceed of RMB2,500,000 on 9 October 2011;

2.         The management has taken action to tighten cost controls over various      operating and general and administrative expenses; and

3.         The Group has been negotiating with its principal bankers to obtain banking facilities to secure its financial support for the working capital of the Group.

Accordingly, the directors are of the opinion that it is appropriate to prepare the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011 on a going concern basis notwithstanding the Group's liquidity and financial position as at 30 June 2011.  However, if these measures were not to be successful or insufficient, or if the going concern basis were not be appropriate, adjustments would have to be made to write down the value of assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for further liabilities which might arise and to reclassify non-current assets as non-current liabilities as current assets and current liabilities respectively.  The effect of these adjustments has not been reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

            (h)        Deconsolidation of Shenzhen LED

The Group entered into a preliminary sale and purchase agreement dated 11 February 2010 to dispose of its entire interest in a wholly-owned subsidiary, Shenzhen LED.  The assets and liabilities of Shenzhen LED had been reclassified as held for sale as at 30 June 2009 and the results of Shenzhen LED were previously presented under discontinued operation in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2009.  However, the disposal of Shenzhen LED did not proceed.  The sale and purchase agreement dated 11 February 2009 was effectively terminated on 17 April 2010.

Notwithstanding that the Group owned the entire equity interests in Shenzhen LED, Shenzhen LED was no longer regarded as a subsidiary of the Group as the directors of the Company are of the opinion that the control of Shenzhen LED had been lost during the year.

The directors of Company considered that Shenzhen LED is not under control by the Company given (i) the Company was unable to obtain any books and records from Shenzhen LED; (ii) the Company had not been provided with any up-to-date financial reports of Shenzhen LED and thus had no information as to the current financial situation of Shenzhen LED; and (iii) the company search of Shenzhen LED stating that its license had been suspended on 6 September 2009.  As a result, the Company expressed a lack of confidence in its ability to properly control and manage Shenzhen LED.  In light of this situation, the directors of the Company resolved to deconsolidate Shenzhen LED with the effective date on 17 April 2010.  The consolidated statement of comprehensive income presented a loss of HK$958,000 on deconsolidation of Shenzhen LED.  Details of the deconsolidation of Shenzhen LED are stated in note 34 to the Accounts.
