- The Ministry of Science and Technology Government set goal to install total 3m LED lamps nationwide by 2012.
- Contractor-government-bank model allows local governments pay LED projects by using saved electricity bills later on, which may largely accelerate their accepting and adopting LED technology.
- Synergy is emerging between TCI (PCB know-how, manufacturing facilities and listing status) and OOS (LED technology and associated experience).
- The JV has secured contracts for 55,000 street lamps, 40,000 of which will be delivered in 2010.
- The JV can possibly earn RMB14.6m and RMB22.7m, respectively, in FY12/10F and FY12/11F, translating into HK$10.2m and HK$15.9m net profit contribution to TCI.
- An undemanding 15.0x FY12/10F P/E valuation gives the JV a market value of HK$340.5m. HK$238.3m belongs to the listco, versus its HK$170.4m increase in market capitalization since announcement of the JV agreement.
