Principally engaged in the distribution and integration of power monitoring and cable monitoring systems and network access equipment to telecommunication services providers in PRC, T S Telecom [8003] will benefit substantially from the sustaining exponential growth in China's telecom market. It is because these unique products serve as essential backbone infrastructure for both telecom and power network stations. The company's expertise in this field has not only allowed it to capture significant market share in major cities like Beijing and Shanghai, but also helped the company to establish very strong relationships with mainland telecom authorities. This should ensure the company to enjoy further prosperous growth in the next few years. Very high profit margins from core operation. The company has successfully implemented vertical integration process for its major products, and can now produce all of its power monitoring products. As a result, the company is set to enjoy a gross profit margin in excess of 75%. On the other hand, the company has implemented very effective cost control measures in its product distribution process, which also help to enhance its profit margins. We expect the company to achieve overall operating margin of 38.9% and 43.5% in FY00 and FY01, which represent substantial improvements over the 9.6% in FY99. Upcoming development likely to be internet-related. Aside from the steady business growth for its core operations, the company's future potential is likely to lie on the internet development as revealed in its prospectus. T S Telecom will develop broadband access network product, which allows the company to benefit from the fast growing demand in broadband internet related products. We also believe, given its expertise in the telecom field, the company is in a position to launch other internet related products to drive future growth. Undemanding valuation compared to peers listed on the main board. We expect the upcoming listing of more large cap. companies in the GEM board will attract increasing institutional interest to invest in quality and undervalued GEM stocks like T S Telecom. Furthermore, the counter's current valuation offers deep discount compared to other system integration stocks like Vanda [757] and Automated System [771] listed on the main board. As the company's development potential in the internet field has yet to be reflected in its current share price level, we see further upside potential in the medium term.
