BUSINESS

ITE sets sights on
HK$40m from
listing

ERIC NG

ITE Technology aims to raise up to
HK$40.5 million to fund product
development and marketing through a
Growth Enterprise Market (GEM) listing
this month.

Sources said the company on Monday
began its planned offering of 45 million
new shares to institutional investors for
between 73 HK cents and 93 HK cents
each, to raise between HK$32.85 million
and HK$40.5 million.

The company provides integration
solutions mainly to property developers
and universities on their implementation of
smart-card technology. Smart cards have
electronic components that enable
functions such as people-access control,
personal identification and payment for
products and services.

Chief executive Vincent Lau said the
company designed its smart-card
reading-system software and hardware,
but contracted out hardware production to
mainland and local manufacturers.

It sourced the smart cards from France
and Germany.

Mr Lau said the company made a net
profit of more than HK$1 million on
turnover of more than HK$10 million in the
year to March 31.

Net profit for the five months to August 31
was about HK$8 million while turnover
was about HK$16 million.

The company's customers included the
University of Hong Kong, Chinese
University of Hong Kong and Henderson
Land Development, Mr Lau said, adding it
had signed some contracts for mainland
property projects.

The institutional offer will close on
Thursday and its final price will be set on
Friday.

The shares' listing debut is expected on
February 21.
