CHaIrman’S Statement

Our interactive educational products tailored specially for schools also delivered impressiveperformance. Their sales surged by three folds against the last corresponding period. Wemanufacture the central systemand the student learningdevices for use in the classroomenvironment.WithinteractiveeducationbecomingmorepopularintheUnitedStatesofAmerica(“US”)andEurope,ourproductshaveenormousroomforgrowthinthosemarkets.

Another branch of our specialised electronic products businesswas the electronic ticketprocessors.Thoughstill amodestactivity, salesof suchdevicesdoubled in thepast sixmonthscomparedwith thesameperiod lastyear.Thecustomer is currently selling theelectronic ticketprocessors in theAsian Pacific Region and Europe. We are confident of receiving more ordersfromthiscustomerasitsproductscontinuetopenetratethemarket.

As for other general consumer electronic products, such as Bluetooth headsets and electronichome appliances, their sales declined. TheGroup took it as an indication of the need to shiftfocusandreallocateresourcestonicheandspecialisedproductswithhighermargins.

telecommunication productsRevenuefromthetelecommunicationproductssegmentdeclinedby11.4%toHK$66.5millionand accounted for 16.3% of the Group’s total turnover. The decline was mainly due to thedeparture of a network product customer. However, we received solid orders from existingJapanese customers for key telephone systems and voice-over-internet protocol (VoIP) phones,whichhadhelpedtomoderatethelossinrevenueandprofitcausedbydepartureofthatnetworkproductcustomer.

prospectsWewill continue to focus on manufacture of niche products that have higher margins andare resilient in theunstable economic environment in our strive to assume leadership in thespecialised electronic products segment. In September 2008, we secured new orders from aleadingUSprofessionalaudioequipmentcompany.Thenewcustomerexpressedconfidence inour capabilities and skilledworkforce, proving that opportunities are still available for capablemanufacturers like SUGA in difficult times. We expect this new customer to bring significantrevenuetotheGroupinthesecondhalfofthisfiscalyear.
