Overview
We have analyzed CAAs clarification announcement dated 18 December 2016 and believe that not
only does it fail to answer adequately the concerns and issues we identified in our original report, but in
fact CAAs response offers further proof that our analysis, opinions, and conclusions were correct.
In this first of several rebuttals, we pick apart CAAs announcement issue by issue and show below
why we believe we are right for criticizing CAA and believing that it is massively overvalued and in
violation of Hong Kong listing rules:

#1 NEW OUTRIGHT LIE IN THE RESPONSE STATEMENT IS CAUGHT

WE DEMONSTRATED THAT THE 2015 TOP CUSTOMER DISCLOSURE WAS


FALSIFIED BY COMPARING THE ANNUAL RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT AND THE
ANNUAL REPORT. In its 18 December 2016 clarification announcement, CAA clarified that
its 2015 results announcement was based on total revenue of RMB 7.5 billion (continuing
operations 2.8 billion plus discontinued operations 4.7 billion).

interest in SkyComm in February 2008, Mr. Chan ceased to have any equity
interest in SkyComm Group. The Company understands that Mr. Chan had
tendered his resignation for all his positions in SkyComm Group, including that
in Guangdong SkyComm and Shaanxi SkyComm. Upon enquiry with SkyComm
made by the Company regarding the positions of Mr. Chan in Guangdong
SkyComm and Shaanxi SkyComm as shown in the SAIC records, the Company
was given to understand that Guangdong SkyComm and Shaanxi SkyComm
failed to obtain the approval of their minority shareholders and therefore pass the
requisite shareholders resolution to effect the resignation and/or file the change
to the relevant government authority of the PRC, and therefore Mr. Chans
resignations from his respective position in Guangdong SkyComm and Shaanxi
SkyComm have not been effected or reflected in the SAIC record.

I resigned, but didnt really resign is not a valid excuse. CAA went public in 2009 and we are
now in 2016. He had plenty of time to resign (he had to do it before the IPO) and he didnt do it.

CAA then tries to distort the situation by claiming that the related parties are dormant, and thus the
failure to disclose caused no harm to investors. Do they really think investors, the HKEX and the
SFC are this stupid?

2.

Based on information provided by SkyComm, despite that Mr. Chan remains as


the legal representative of Shaanxi SkyComm, Shaanxi SkyComm is a dormant
company with no operation as demonstrated by its SAIC record that Shaanxi
SkyComm had no revenue for each of the three years ended 31 December 2015.
Despite that Mr. Chan is shown as the vice-chairman of Guangdong SkyComm
in SAIC record, upon enquiry with SkyComm made by the Company, Guangdong
SkyComm has ceased to have a board of directors as its governing body since
2014 by way of amending its articles of association, and therefore has ceased to
have the role of vice-chairman since then. As Guangdong SkyComm failed to file
the change to the SAIC, Mr. Chan is still shown as the vice-chairman of
Guangdong SkyComm in SAIC record.

#3 MANAGEMENT CLARIFICATION STATEMENT INDIRECTLY
REVEALS THAT REVENUES WERE FABRICATED

MANAGEMENT TAKES INVESTORS FOR FOOLS. CAA claims that timing differences and
accounting standards differences (HKFRS in AR and PRC GAAP in SAIC) for RMB 1 billion or
36% of 2015 annual report revenues. Why were such gigantic differences not there in 2014, where
such a difference was only RMB 125 million or 5% of total AR revenues? Not the RMB 1
billion seen in 2015, or 36% of total AR revenues. The size of this discrepancy is 7x in 2015 over
the prior year.

CAA REVEALS THAT REVENUE IS MISSING IN A BACKDOOR WAY. Note that SAIC
revenues for 2015 are RMB 665 million. There is no dispute on that from CAA. If CAAs Hong
Kong subsidiary comes up with an additional 20% (hello Skycomm: the mini Enron), then total
satellite and infocomm revenues would be 665 / (1-20%) = 831 million. CAA claimed RMB 1,682
million for 2015 satellite and infocomm revenues. Where is the other half?

We stand by our conclusion that CAA has falsely claimed RMB 1 billion in satellite and
infocomm revenues. See our full original report for the details of this fabrication.

THAT THEY ARE RELIABLE. Wrong! Intermediate figures changing by 20%-50% is
actually proof that the numbers are unreliable have been falsified.

Current convertible bonds are different by 36%. Somehow CAA miscalculated how
much debt it needs to pay off within a year by a third. CAA says it doesnt matter.

Finance income is different by 42%. How can you miscount how much money the bank
paid you by half? You get the number from the bank and your auditor double-checks the
amount. Is this telltale sign of financial manipulation or not?

Deferred tax liabilities are different by 24%. Investors know that accounting tricks
often get reflected in deferred tax items. Here deferred tax liabilities for the same year
change by a quarter. Material red flag or not?

Administration expenses are different by 48%. This is possibly the clearest evidence
of financial statement manipulation. Prior to disclosure, financial statements are prepared
by accounting personnel, checked by the CFO, edited by lawyers, reviewed by the board
and independently approved by an external audit firm. Given this, are we to believe that
CAA forgot to count salaries or rent by 1x?

Note these figures are based on continuing operations the balance sheet in the annual results statement has separate line items
for discontinued operations and the income statement is based on RMB 2.8 billion in revenue, the continuing operations revenue
(not RMB 7.5 billion, the total continuing plus discontinuing operations revenues).

Given the circumstances, we request the auditor, HLB Hodgson Impey Cheng Limited, to
make an independent statement to make their stance clear on this matter in their capacity
as a member of HKICPA, a practicing audit firm and the companys official auditor.
Question to the auditors: Were you defrauded or were you complicit?
If these discrepancies do not point to unreliable financial statements, then HLB as a regulated
auditor, should have no problem whatsoever making an unequivocal public statement that the two
sets of figures are both correct.
It is in CAAs interest to ask HLB to issue such a statement it would support their position.
If HLB does not issue a statement given the circumstances, investors can make up their own
minds on that absence as well.

#5. CAA DISTORTS FACTS AGAIN. MAYBE THEY NEED AN


ACCOUNTING LESSON ON THE CALCULATION OF DSO
DSO (Days Sales Outstanding) is a robust metric. It does take into account any credit period that a
company may give its customers. If it gives long credit periods then the DSO goes up. CAAs is an
off the charts 537 days! Refer to our original report for full details.
537 days means that CAA collects cash from its customers every 1.5 years after providing its
products/services. We have shown that many loosely comparable companies to have DSOs of under
100 days.
CAA says that it generated RMB 1.5 billion in infocomm revenues in the non-tender based business
of providing utilities and companies in PRC and Hong Kong. We believe that this is a lie. CAA
conveniently ignored our field research that revealed that 1) only Hebei Noter does any infocomm
business and 2) Hebei Noters infocomm business in 2015 was around RMB 8 million. See our report
Now CAA is claiming RMB 1.5 billion in infocomm business that was not based on tenders. Based on
simple calculations using data in the top customer information in the annual report, this translates to
having about 25-30 customers with infocomm revenues of RMB 28 million or more.
We challenge CAAs management to reveal the identities of non-tender-based infocomm clients
(public utilities and companies as claimed) who contributed even half to this magical RMB 1.5
billion in infocomm revenues. We further challenge them to name customers who are based in
Hong Kong (as they refer to HK infocomm customers in their clarification).
