"Building on our leadership position in the wireless coverage market in
China, we have further strengthened our marketing efforts to book additional
business and to capture opportunities from the two leading mobile operators in
China, China Mobile and China Unicom, and their accelerated wireless coverage
construction expenditures in the fourth quarter of 2007. As a result, our
revenue from these two operators in the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2007
increased significantly. Conversely, China Telecom and China Netcom
drastically reduced their PHS (personal handy-phone systems) network coverage
expenditures in the fourth quarter of 2007, which had a negative impact on our
fourth quarter and fiscal year 2007 revenue," commented Mr. Yingjie Gao,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GrenTech.
"In 2007, the new centralized bidding policy adopted by China Mobile
shifted the balance of our revenues toward that of wireless coverage
integration services versus wireless coverage equipment sales. We completed a
number of new integration service projects in the fourth quarter of 2007, and
as a result, more integration service revenue will be deferred to the first
and second quarter of 2008 as the revenue recognition cycle for integration
services is longer than it is for equipment sales. The new centralized bidding
policy, together with the maturing of the wireless coverage market, has led to
intensified industry-wide pricing pressure, and we are not an exception.
However, we have been able to partly mitigate the effect of this pressure
through our core competitive differentiator: high performance yet low cost
technology," Mr. Gao continued.
"With respect to our base station RF business, we achieved solid year-
over-year growth of 4.4 times 2006 revenue as we benefited from the two major
domestic base station equipment manufacturers' rapid business growth. During
2007, we became a major supplier of base station RF modules for Huawei and ZTE,
and we made a breakthrough in developing international market opportunities.
The completion of our new manufacturing facility in October 2007 enhanced our
base station RF module production capacity and provides a strong foundation
for continued rapid growth in 2008 and beyond," said Mr. Gao.

Cost of Revenues
The cost of revenues for the fourth quarter of 2007 amounted to RMB307.1
million (US$42.1 million), an increase of 27.4% from RMB241.1 million in the
fourth quarter of 2006.
The cost of revenues for fiscal year 2007 was RMB611.4 million (US$83.8
million), an increase of 39.9% from RMB437.0 million in 2006.
The increase was driven primarily by larger sales volume, this is because
of the increased revenue and the decreased average selling price ("ASP") for
wireless coverage products in 2007. In addition, since the gross margin of
base station RF products is lower than wireless coverage products, the
increase in sales of RF products also led to the increase of cost of revenues.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses were RMB73.4 million (US$10.1 million) for the
fourth quarter of 2007, a decrease of RMB2.5 million, or 3.3%, from RMB75.9
million in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Total operating expenses for fiscal year 2007 increased by RMB35.2 million,
or 16.3%, from RMB216.6 million in 2006 to RMB251.8 million (US$34.5 million).
The year-over-year increase was due to an increase in research and development
costs, sales and distribution expenses and general and administrative expenses.
Research and development costs for the fourth quarter of 2007 were RMB15.7
million (US$2.2 million), a decrease of 8.2% from RMB17.1 million in the
fourth quarter of 2006.
Research and development costs for fiscal year 2007 were RMB56.5 million
(US$7.7 million), an increase of 18.4% from RMB47.7 million in 2006. R&D
efforts in 2007 were focused on TD-SCDMA wireless coverage equipment and base
station RF modules. The Company has already developed a number of TD-SCDMA
trunk amplifier, repeater and Radio Remote Unit (RRU) products. In the base
station RF module segment, the Company developed 41 RF modules and filed 86
technology and product patent applications in China in 2007. R&D costs
accounted for 5.8% of total revenue in 2007, which is in line with the
percentage for 2006.
Sales and distribution expenses for the fourth quarter of 2007 were
RMB32.7 million (US$4.5 million), a decrease of 9.9% from RMB36.3 million the
fourth quarter of 2006.
Sales and distribution expenses for fiscal year 2007 were RMB126.8 million
(US$17.4 million), an increase of 12.3% over RMB112.9 million in 2006. This
was primarily due to increased sales efforts to boost revenue from China
Mobile and China Unicom and to develop the WLAN market. Additionally, the
Company increased its sales and marketing activities in 2007 to develop the
international base station RF market. Sales and distribution expenses
accounted for 12.9% of total revenue in 2007, as compared to 13.6% in 2006.
General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2007 were
RMB25.0 million (US$3.4 million), an increase of 11.0% from RMB22.5 million
the fourth quarter of 2006.
General and administrative expenses for fiscal year 2007 were RMB68.5
million (US$9.4 million), an increase of 22.4% from RMB55.9 million in 2006.
The year-over-year increase was mainly attributable to the RMB16.2 million
increase in allowance for accounts receivable. However, the other expenses,
such as business entertainment and traveling expenses, office expenses,
decreased due to tighter controls. General and administrative expenses
accounted for 7.0% of total revenue in 2007, a slight increase as compared to
6.7% in 2006.
Total Other Expenses/Income
Total other expenses for the fourth quarter of 2007 were RMB4.6 million
(US$0.6 million), an increase of RMB3.2 million as compared to total other
expenses of RMB1.4 million in the same period in the prior year.
Total other expenses for fiscal year 2007 were RMB24.2 million (US$3.3
million), an increase of 123.5% from RMB10.8 million in 2006. This year-over-
year increase is primarily due to the increase in interest expenses and
foreign currency exchange losses.
Interest income for the fourth quarter of 2007 increased 246.7% to RMB15.6
million (US$2.1 million) from RMB4.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Interest income for fiscal year 2007 increased 16.1% to RMB22.3 million
(US$3.1 million) from RMB19.2 million in 2006. The increase was primarily due
to the increased interest arising from the amortization of discounted income
from the prior years' account receivable.
Interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2007 increased 65.5% from
RMB8.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 to RMB14.4 million (US$2.0
million).
Interest expense for fiscal year 2007 increased 26.1%, from RMB28.0
million in 2006 to RMB35.3 million (US$4.8 million), primarily due to
additional bank loans and higher interest rates. The Company used these loans
to build a facility to enhance its R&D and production capacity and to purchase
land use rights for another facility.
The foreign currency exchange loss for the fourth quarter of 2007
increased 89.1% to RMB8.7 million (US$1.2 million) from an exchange loss of
RMB4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2006, primarily due to the Chinese
government's foreign exchange controls, which restricted the Company from
transferring offshore deposits savings into a domestic RMB account. In
addition, the Company has kept a portion of its foreign currency in offshore
accounts to pay service fees such as auditing fees, legal fees and other
related expenses. Therefore, the foreign currency exchange loss increased as
the RMB appreciated. The Company plans to transfer its excess cash reserves to
RMB denominated accounts to the extent allowed under Chinese regulations in
order to minimize losses.
For the same reason, the foreign currency exchange loss for fiscal year
2007 increased by 90.0% to RMB18.8 million (US$2.6 million), as compared to an
exchange loss of RMB9.9 million in 2006.
Grant income from government subsidies for the fourth quarter of 2007
decreased by RMB4.5 million to RMB2.9 million (US$0.4 million). Grant income
for fiscal year 2007 was RMB7.4 million (US$1.0 million), as compared to
RMB7.7 million in 2006.
Earnings
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2007 decreased to RMB164.7 million
(US$22.6 million) from RMB209.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2006,
representing a decrease of RMB44.5 million (US$6.1 million), or 21.3%. The
gross margin was 34.9% in the fourth quarter of 2007, as compared to 46.5% in
the corresponding period in 2006.
Gross profit for fiscal year 2007 decreased by RMB27.9 million, or 7.0%,
to RMB367.9 million (US$50.4 million), from RMB395.8 million in 2006. The
gross margin was 37.6% in 2007, as compared to 47.5% in 2006.
The foregoing gross margin reduction is the result of a lower ASP for
wireless coverage products due to intensified pricing pressure as the industry
matures and China Mobile's new centralized bidding policy. The increased
proportion of revenues derived from lower margin RF products also contributed
to the reduction in gross margin.
The fourth quarter 2007 operating profit decreased by RMB42.0 million, or
31.5%, from RMB133.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2006 to RMB91.3 million
(US$12.5 million). Operating margin was 19.3% in the fourth quarter of 2007,
as compared to 29.6% in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Operating profit for fiscal year 2007 decreased by RMB63.2 million, or
35.3%, to RMB116.0 million (US$15.9 million) from RMB179.2 million in 2006.
The operating margin was 11.8% in 2007, as compared to 21.5% in 2006.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2007 decreased by RMB36.3 million, or
31.8%, to RMB78.1 million (US$10.7 million) from RMB114.4 million in the
fourth quarter of 2006. Net margin was 16.5% in the fourth quarter of 2007, as
compared to 25.4% in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Net income for fiscal year 2007 decreased by RMB66.3 million, or 44.6%,
from RMB148.8 million in 2006 to RMB82.5 million (US$11.3 million). Net margin
was 8.4% in 2007, as compared to 17.9% in 2006.
Diluted earnings per ADS for the fourth quarter of 2007 were RMB3.12
(US$0.43).
Diluted earnings per ADS for fiscal year 2007 were RMB3.30 (US$0.45).
Balance Sheet
Cash, cash equivalents and pledged time deposits decreased from RMB706.0
million as of December 31, 2006 to RMB576.6 million (US$79 million) as of
December 31, 2007, a decrease of RMB129.4 million, or 18.3%, which was mainly
attributable to new facility construction and land use right purchases, as
well as working capital requirements.
Total accounts receivable increased by 29.3% from RMB1.0168 billion as of
December 31, 2006 to RMB1.3153 billion (US$180.3 million) as of December 31,
2007. This increase was mainly attributable to increased revenues recognized
in 2007 that have not yet fell into the collection period.
Inventories increased from RMB434.4 million as of December 31, 2006 to
RMB542.1 million (US$74.3 million) as of December 31, 2007, an increase of
24.8%. The increase was mainly due to increased inventory of finished base
station RF modules and the increased corresponding raw materials for their
production.
Total assets increased by RMB581.5 million, or 24.1%, from RMB2.4158
billion as of December 31, 2006 to RMB2.9973 billion (US$410.9 million) as of
December 31, 2007. The increase was mainly due to increased inventory and
accounts receivable.
Total liabilities increased by RMB538.6 million, or 62.2%, from RMB866.4
million as of December 31, 2006 to RMB1.4050 billion (US$192.6 million) as of
December 31, 2007. Current liabilities increases by RMB388.6 million, or 44.9%,
from RMB866.4 million as of December 31, 2006 to RMB1.2550 billion (US$172.0
million) as of December 31, 2007, primarily due to increased in working
capital requirements. Long-term debt as of December 31, 2007 was RMB150.0
million (US$20.6 million) due to a long-term bank loan for the construction of
a new facility. There was no long-term debt as of December 31, 2006.
Business Outlook
The Company's management believes that the markets for both the wireless
coverage products and services and base station RF products will present
growth opportunities in 2008. In addition to continued spending on 2G networks
by telecom providers, we expect the approaching restructuring of the Chinese
telecom industry, 3G license issuances and WLAN construction to enhance demand
for wireless coverage products and services. At the same time, the Company's
management expects that the major Chinese base station manufacturers will
maintain their strong growth momentum for at least the near-term, which
management anticipates will cause the Company's base station RF business to
continue to grow rapidly.
Wireless Coverage Products and Services
The Company believes that restructuring among Chinese telecom operators is
inevitable in 2008, despite the absence of a detailed plan or schedule from
the Chinese government. This restructuring will change the competitive
landscape, which the management anticipates will force telecom operators to
expand network coverage and improve network quality. China Mobile and China
Unicom have both disclosed in their annual reports that their 2008 total
capital expenditure will increase by 21% and 20%, respectively. Assuming China
Telecom obtains a mobile network after the restructuring, it may also increase
its coverage expenditure. The management believes that GrenTech, as a major
wireless coverage equipment and service provider, will be well-positioned to
benefit from the growing expenditure in the China wireless coverage market.
The Chinese TD-SCDMA network commenced commercial trial operation in 2007,
and the Company has successfully developed key TD-SCDMA coverage equipment,
such as trunk amplifiers, repeaters and RRUs for it. The Company has also
provided related integration services in the cities that will host the Olympic
Games in 2008. GrenTech believes that China Mobile will significantly increase
its wireless coverage spending for TD-SCDMA in order to optimize the quality
of its existing network, and that China Mobile may start to further build TD-
SCDMA networks to expand coverage to additional cities in 2008. Therefore,
GrenTech believes that its revenues from TD-SCDMA related products and
services will grow substantially in 2008.
The Company also forecasts that telecom operators will increase WLAN
construction significantly due to mobile data usage demand. In 2007, China
Mobile commenced its WLAN network roll out in Olympic cities, and China
Telecom started WLAN trials in multiple cities. GrenTech won a second bid from
China Mobile at the end of 2007 to provide integrated services for WLAN
networks in all Olympic cities. At the same time, GrenTech won its bid to
supply WLAN equipment and integrated services for China Telecom in Guangdong
and Chongqing. The Company forecasts that revenue from WLAN will increase
significantly as a percentage of total revenue, due to China Telecom's plan to
build its WLAN network in 21 provincial capital cities in 2008. GrenTech
believes WLAN will be a key growth driver in 2008.
Base Station RF Products
The recent growth of the domestic base station manufacturers such as
Huawei and ZTE has created tremendous market opportunity for domestic
suppliers of base station RF modules, including GrenTech. With many years of
RF technology experience and strong sales and marketing capabilities, the
Company has successfully developed 41 types of passive RF modules for domestic
base station manufacturers, such as Huawei and ZTE, as well as for
international base station manufacturers, such as Ericsson, Nokia-Siemens, and
Alcatel-Lucent. GrenTech has become a major RF modules supplier for Huawei and
ZTE, and has commenced production of trial orders of passive RF models for
Ericsson. In terms of initiatives to deepen its active RF modules market
penetration, GrenTech has commenced shipment of trial orders for TD-SCDMA
power amplifier modules and RRUs to domestic base station manufacturers.
In 2008, GrenTech plans to strengthen its cooperation with Huawei and ZTE
and increase investments in R&D for new products, while also working to
capture market share for existing products. Leveraging opportunities from TD-
SCDMA network expansion, the Company will strive to move its TD-SCDMA power
amplifier modules and RRU products into bulk production.
Business Outlook for the first quarter of 2008
The Company's management estimates that total revenue in the first quarter
of 2008 will increase significantly as compared to the first quarter of 2007,
primarily due to recognition of revenue related to wireless coverage
integration services, which were initiated in the fourth quarter of 2007. In
addition, revenue from WLAN in the first quarter of 2008 is expected to
increase significantly, benefiting from China Mobile's WLAN construction in
Olympic cities. Following its base station RF module win in last year,
GrenTech has delivered the contracted product on schedule, further
contributing to revenues in the first quarter of 2008.
Conference Call and Webcast
The Company's management team will conduct a conference call on Friday,
April 18, 2008 at 8:00 am (Eastern). A webcast of the conference call will be
accessible on the Company's web site at http://www.GrenTech.com.cn .
