SUPPLEMENTAL ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE ANNUAL RESULTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Reference is made to the annual results announcement of Sino ICT Holdings Limited (the "Company" and, together with its subsidiaries, collectively the "Group") for the year ended 31 December 2020 (the "Annual Results Announcement") published on 31 March 2021 and the announcement related to the change of accounting policy dated 27 August 2020 (the "Announcement on Change in Accounting Policy"). Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms used herein share bear the same meanings as those defined in the Annual Results Announcement and the Announcement on Change in Accounting Policy.

Details of and Reasons to the Restatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements

As disclosed in the Announcement on Change in Accounting Policy and Note 3(c) of the notes to consolidated financial statements in the Annual Results Announcement, the board (the "Board") of the directors of the Company has approved the change in accounting policy of the measurement of properties and plants held by the Group from the revaluation model to the historical cost model with effect from 27 August, 2020. As the change in accounting policy involves a change in the measurement of the Group's properties and plants, the Company is required to make retrospective adjustments and restatement of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2019. Other than the abovementioned reason, the restatement of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2019 in the Annual Results Announcement was not attributable to any other factors.

Financial Impacts

The change in accounting policy has impacts on the figures of individual items in the consolidated financial statements of the Company, and therefore has an impact on the consolidated financial information of the Group. Based on the audited consolidated results of the Group before and after the restatement for the year ended 31 December 2019, the principal items affected include: (1) an increase in total comprehensive loss for the year of approximately HK$247,000; (2) a decrease in total assets of approximately HK$31,823,000; (3) a decrease in total equity of approximately HK$25,423,000; and (4) a decrease in total liabilities of approximately HK$6,400,000. Overall, the management of the Company believes that the change in accounting policy is more in line with the industry practice and is more advantageous in the long run by minimising the volatility of asset values and the fluctuations in profits arising from such volatility.

The information contained in this announcement does not affect any information contained in the Annual Results Announcement and all information in the Annual Results Announcement remains unchanged.
