GENERAL

 

TCL Overseas Marketing Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TCL Overseas Holdings Ltd. which is a BVI-registered firm.  Its intermediate holding company TCL Multimedia Technology Holdings Ltd. [TMTH] is a Cayman Islands-registered firm.  Formerly TMTH was known as TCL International Holdings Ltd. [TCL International].

TCL International was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 23rd April, 1999 as an investment holding company of the TMTH Group.  Its shares have been listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Ltd. bearing Stock Code 1070 since 26th November, 1999.  TCL International changed name to TMTH on 23rd March, 2005.

The ultimate controlling shareholder of TMTH is TCL Corporation [TCL] (formerly known as TCL Holdings Corporation Ltd.).  It was a China state‑owned limited liability company established under the laws of the PRC and supervised by the Huizhou Municipal People’s Government.  Now, TCL is a listed firm in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, China bearing Stock Code No. 000100.

The subject is trading in audio-visual products and components.  It has got a main affiliated company in Hong Kong known as TCL Electronics (HK) Ltd. [TCL HK] which is a significant firm.

The TMTH Group is principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of colour television [TV] sets, and trading of related components; and manufacture and sale of other audio-visual [AV] products.  It is also engaged in information technology and other businesses.  All the products sold in China are distributed through an extensive nationwide distribution network under the “TCL” brand name.  The Group also conducts ODM and OEM business.  It has had manufacturing facilities in China and overseas sales offices in Vietnam, India, the Philippines, etc.

The TMTH Group is one of the world’s largest global TV manufacturers and distributors and its products are sold all over the world.

Headquartered in China, the Group operates its manufacturing plants and R&D centres across all major continents.

The TMTH Group, through TCL Electronic Corporation, acquired from the subscribers for nominal consideration the entire interest of TCL HK on 7th April, 1993.  Since then, TCL HK has been a trading arm and gateway of TCL’s AV Division.  It is the purchasing and procurement platform of the Group.  TCL HK is responsible for marketing and exporting colour TVs and other AV products internationally, and the trading of raw materials and electronic components for the manufacture of colour TV sets.

2009 was a crucial year for the development of the TV industry.  The rising popularity of LCD TVs led the market to transit rapidly from CRT TVs to LCD TVs.  Although the global economy was volatile due to the financial tsunami, the Group succeeded in turning crises into opportunities and achieved sound results.  The Group implemented highly efficient operational strategies to strengthen its business foundation and seize opportunities to increase market share.  The Group also reached its target for steady growth amidst intense market competition through continuous efforts in enhancing product competitiveness.

The Group achieved impressive sales results which were mainly attributable to an initial achievement of the global industry chain integration, global sales and marketing system establishment as well as production mix optimization.  As such, the Group not only made breakthroughs in sales volume but also turned from loss to profit. For the year ended 31st December 2011, the Group recorded turnover of approximately HK$32,932 million, up 22.2% year-on-year.  The Group’s profit attributable to owners of the parent turned around from net loss to net profit, reached approximately HK$453 million.

The net profit of the Group amounted to HK$461.4 million as compared with a net loss of HK$973.4 million in FY 2010.

In 2011, the Group further consolidated its leading position in the PRC Market while actively expanding its Overseas Markets.  Sales volume of LCD TVs in the PRC Market and Overseas Markets grew 28.9% and 81.8% to 6.61 million sets and 4.25 million sets, respectively.  Emerging Markets have been the key areas for the Group’s strategic development.  They are also the driving force of the Group’s business after the PRC Market.  Emerging Markets recorded encouraging results as sales volume of LCD TVs in the markets surged 144.3% year-on-year to 2.37 million sets.

The Group has been engaged in the optimization of its R&D, marketing strategies, sales channels, supply chain as well as cost control, therefore, its products competitiveness and brand dominance have further improved.  Riding on the market trend for high-end products in 2011, the Group was dedicated to developing 3D TVs and smart TVs while launching leading super smart “cloud” TVs into the market.

The Group’s sales target for LCD TVs in 2012 amounts to 13.80 million sets, well above the average sales growth in the industry.  More importantly, the Group will remain dedicated to improving profitability.

As of 31st December 2011, there were total of 26,275 employees worldwide and approximately 5.8% of them were employed outside of Mainland China,

The subject is fully supported by the TMTH Group.

On the whole, in view of the background and parentage of the subject, consider it good for normal business engagements.
