The Company maintains its books and records in United States dollars (“US$” or “U.S. Dollars”)). Its subsidiaries, retail shops and affiliates maintain their books and records either in US$, Hong Kong dollars (“HK$” or “Hong Kong Dollars”) or in Chinese Renminbi (“RMB” or “Renminbi”).

The Hong Kong dollar is freely convertible into other currencies (including the US dollar). Since 1983, the Hong Kong dollar has effectively been officially linked to the US dollar at the rate of approximately HK$ 7.80 = US$ 1.00. However, the market exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the US dollar continues to be influenced by the forces of supply and demand in the foreign exchange market. Exchange rates between the Hong Kong dollar and other currencies are influenced by the rate between the US dollar and the Hong Kong dollar.

Since 1994, the conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, including U.S. dollars, has been based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China, which are set daily based on the previous day’s interbank foreign exchange market rates. From 1994 through 2004, the official exchange rate for the conversion of Renminbi to U.S. dollars was generally stable and maintained at the rate of approximately RMB 8.30 = US$ 1.00. However, from 2009 through 2013, the Renminbi has fluctuated and at the end of 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the exchange rates were approximately, RMB 6.1122 = US$ 1.00, RMB 6.3086 = US$ 1.00, RMB 6.3585 = US$ 1.00, RMB 6.6018 = US$1.00, RMB 6.8282 = US$ 1.00, respectively. The value of the Renminbi fluctuates and is subject to changes in PRC political and economic conditions.

The high, low and average exchange rates are set forth below:

ITEM 3D.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider all of the information set forth in this annual report and the following risk factors. The risks below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks not currently known by us or that we deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely effected by any of these risks. This annual report also contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our results could materially differ from those anticipated in these forward looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks we face as described below and elsewhere. See “Forward Looking Statements.”

Certain Risks Relating To Doing Business In Hong Kong And The People’s Republic Of China (the “PRC” or “China”).

PRC Sovereignty Over Hong Kong Still Developing.

The Company’s executive and principal offices are located in Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region of China (or “SAR”; Hong Kong is sometimes herein referred to as the “Hong Kong SAR”).

As provided in the Sino-British Joint Declaration on the Question of Hong Kong (the “Joint Declaration”) and the Basic Law of the Hong Kong SAR of China (the “Basic Law”), the Hong Kong SAR is provided a high degree of autonomy except in foreign and defense affairs. The PRC’s political system and policies are not practiced in Hong Kong. Under this principle of “one country, two systems”, Hong Kong maintains a legal system that is based on common law and is different from that of the PRC.

There appears to be a developing friction between Hong Kong residents pressing for greater democracy and the new government leadership in Beijing. Leadership personnel at Beijing’s liaison office in Hong Kong have been abruptly replaced. The new liaison office director has called for Hong Kong to enact new internal security regulations and vowed resistance to any “foreign forces” that may try to intervene in Hong Kong politics. The formula for the preservation of Hong Kong’s independent legal and economic system under Chinese sovereignty has been referred to as “one country, two systems.” The new liaison office director has been emphasizing the “one country” aspect of the formula stating that China’s sovereignty is always to be respected. There appears to be a deep suspicion that Hong Kong’s democracy advocates are being manipulated by the United States to cause difficulties at China’s doorstep as regional tensions rise, i.e. as China has been asserting territorial claims in the East and South China Seas. The foregoing is raising concerns that civil liberties in Hong Kong may be eroded in the years to come. At this point in time it is not possible to predict if this trend will continue and what effect it will have on the Company, if any.

The Company’s results of operations and financial condition may be influenced by the political situation in Hong Kong and by the general state of the Hong Kong economy. See “ — Economic Stability Uncertain.”

There can be no assurance that these past or any prospective future changes in political, economic or commercial conditions in Hong Kong and the PRC will not result in a material adverse effect upon the Company.

Economic Stability Uncertain.

Most economies in the Far East had suffered from an economic instability. There can be no assurance that there will be a recovery, most especially in light of the recent global economic downturn. Continued growth in the PRC depends on an adequate supply of energy. There is no assurance that adequate supplies of energy can be developed or found to fuel the PRC’s continued economic growth.

The PRC’s Economic, Political And Social Conditions: Slowdown In Growth.

The PRC economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange and allocation of resources. While the PRC economy has experienced significant growth in the past thirty years, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among the various sectors of the economy. The PRC government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall PRC economy, but may also have a negative effect on us. For example, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by changes in applicable tax regulations, rates of currency exchange, inflation and effects to curb inflation.

The PRC economy appears to be moving from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. Although the PRC government has implemented measures since the late 1970s emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of improved corporate governance in business enterprises, a substantial portion of productive assets in the PRC are still owned by the PRC government. In addition, the PRC government continues to play a significant role in regulating industry development by imposing industrial policies. The PRC government also exercises significant control over the PRC’s economic growth through the allocation of resources, controlling payment of foreign currency-denominated obligations, setting monetary policy and providing preferential treatment to particular industries or companies. Recently, the PRC government predicted a steep slowdown in growth from a 9.2% GDP in 2011 to a 7.5% GDP in 2012 and plans to lower growth to 7.0% GDP in 2015 with a focus on raising the incomes of the average citizen and seek a national economy less driven by investment and more by consumer demand. Although past predictions have not always proven reliable, if these predictions prove accurate, they, as well as future actions and policies of the PRC government, could suffer a material adverse effect.

Also, financial reporting suggests a real estate “bubble” exists in the PRC. If a real estate “bubble” truly exists in the PRC and it bursts, the PRC’s economy and the Company could suffer a material adverse effect.

The success of the Company’s activities in the PRC depends on the Company’s continued ability to overcome circumstances specifically effecting the industrial sector, including the relatively poor infrastructure, road transportation and communications network and an uncertain legal and regulatory environment.

Economic Reforms May Not Continue Or Impact Positively On The Company; Changing Business Environment.

Over the past several years, the PRC’s government has pursued economic reform policies including encouraging private economic activities and decentralization of economic deregulation. It appears that the PRC government may not continue to pursue these policies or may significantly alter them to our detriment from time to time without notice. Changes in policies by the PRC government resulting in changes in laws, regulations, or their interpretation, or the imposition of confiscatory taxes, restrictions on currency conversion and imports could materially and adversely effect our business and operating results. Recently, the PRC government predicted that its annual growth rate in imports and exports would drop to 10% compared to more than 24% in 2011. The nationalization or other expropriations of private enterprises by the PRC government could result in a loss of our investments in actual funds and time and effort, in China.

The Company’s results at times may also be adversely effected by: (1) changes in political, economic and social conditions in the PRC; (2) changes in government policies such as changes in laws and regulations (or their interpretation); (3) the introduction of additional measures to control inflation; (4) changes in the rate or method of taxation; (5) imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion remittances abroad; (6) reduction in tariff protection and other import restrictions; and (7) a return to the more centrally-planned economy that existed previously.

We Are Subject To International Economic And Political Risks, Over Which We Have Little Or No Control.

Doing business entirely outside the United States subjects us to various risks, including changing economic and political conditions, exchange controls, currency fluctuations, armed conflicts and unexpected changes in United States and foreign laws relating to tariffs, trade restrictions, transportation regulations, foreign investments and taxation. We have no control over most of these risks and other unforeseeable risks and may be unable to anticipate changes in international economic and political conditions and, therefore, unable to alter our business practice in time to avoid the adverse effect of any of these changes.

The Global Financial Crisis and Economic Conditions May Have A Material Adverse Impact on Our Business and Financial Conditions.

With deteriorating worldwide economies global markets have experienced significant turmoil and upheavals characterized by extreme volatility and the volatility in prices and securities and commodities, diminished credit availability, inability to access capital markets, waves of bankruptcies, high unemployment and declining consumer and business confidence. It appears that the worldwide economic deterioration has negatively impacted our revenue and other results of operation. We cannot predict the short and long-term impact of these events on our business and financial condition that may be materially and adversely affected in the future.

Slowed and Uneven Economic Growth.

The PRC’s economy has experienced significant growth in recent years, but that growth has been uneven among various geographic regions and economic sectors and appears to have slowed. Economic reforms and growth in the PRC have been more successful in certain provinces than in others, and the continuation or increase of such disparities could adversely affect political or social stability. The PRC’s economy experienced a slowdown beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008 as a result of the global economic crisis. There can be no assurance that the PRC’s economy will grow, that if there is growth, such growth will be steady and uniform. The slowdown has had a negative effect on our business.

PRC Inflation.

In recent years, the PRC has not experienced significant inflation, and thus inflation has not had a significant effect on our business historically. In response to the increased inflation rate during 2004, the Chinese government announced measures to restrict lending and investment in the PRC in order to reduce inflationary pressure on the PRC’s economy; and the inflation rate was reduced in 2005 and 2006, escalated in 2007 and 2008 at a rate of 5.9%, was reduced by 0.7% in 2009 and increased by 3.3%, 5.4%, 2.6% and 2.6% in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Efforts by the PRC to curb inflation may also curb economic growth, increase our overhead costs and adversely affect our sales. Inflationary increases cause a corresponding increase in our general overhead. If the PRC rate of inflation continues to increases, the Chinese government may introduce further measures intended to reduce the inflation rate in the PRC. Any such measures adopted by the Chinese government may not be successful in reducing or slowing the increase in the PRC’s inflation rate. A sustained or increased inflation in the PRC may have an adverse impact on the PRC’s economy and may materially and adversely affect our business and financial results.

Uncertain Legal System And Application Of Laws.

The legislative trend in the PRC over the past decade has been to enhance the protection afforded to foreign investment and allow for more active control by foreign parties of foreign invested enterprises. This may not continue. In addition, as the PRC economy, business and commercial framework and legal system all continue to develop, that development may adversely affect the Company’s activities in the PRC or the ability of the Company to enter into Sino-foreign agreements.

PRC Legal System Business Laws Developing.

The PRC does not yet possess a comprehensive body of business law or a consolidated body of laws governing foreign investment enterprises. As a result, the enforcement, interpretation and implementation of existing laws, regulations or agreements may be sporadic, inconsistent and subject to considerable discretion. The PRC’s judiciary has not had sufficient opportunity to gain experience in enforcing laws that exist, leading to a higher than usual degree of uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation. As the legal system develops, entities such as the Company may be adversely affected by new laws, changes to existing laws (or interpretations thereof) and preemption of provincial or local laws by national laws. Even when adequate law exists in the PRC, it may not be possible to obtain speedy and equitable enforcement of the law.

Government Currency Controls.

The PRC government imposes control over its foreign currency reserves in part through direct regulation of the conversion of its currency, Renminbi into foreign exchange and through restrictions on foreign imports. The conversion of RMB into Hong Kong Dollars and U.S. Dollars must be based on rates set by the People’s Bank of China, which rates are set daily based on the previous day’s Chinese interbank foreign exchange market rate with reference to current exchange rates on the world financial markets.

Currently, the RMB is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow band against the U.S. Dollar. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect the Company because of increases in overhead costs, adverse effects on sales, foreign currency denominated liabilities, and may materially adversely affect the value, translated into U.S. dollars, of the Company’s net fixed assets situated and to be situated in the PRC, earnings and dividends.

Foreign Currency Risk.

The Company operates in Hong Kong, the PRC and trades with both local and overseas customers, and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to purchases in, Hong Kong dollar, Renminbi, US dollars, the Japanese yen and Euro. Foreign exchange risk arises from committed and unmatched future commercial transactions, such as confirmed import purchase orders and sales orders, recognized assets and liabilities, and net investment in the PRC operations. The Company uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain foreign currency exposures but does not currently adequately hedge its foreign exchange positions. There can be no assurances that the Company’s hedging strategies will be adequate to avoid this foreign exchange risk.

Turbulent Relations With The United States Of America (“United States”).

Differences between the United States and PRC governments on some political issues continue occasionally to color their relationship. These occasional controversies could materially and adversely affect our business and operations. Political or trade friction between the two countries could also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares, whether or not they adversely affect our business.

Certain Risks Relating To The Company’s Business

Decline in Revenues; Operating Loss; Loss Before Income Taxes.

In Fiscal 2008, the Company had revenues of approximately US$ 31,738, 000, operating income of approximately US$ 370,000 and income before income taxes of approximately US$ 560,000. Since Fiscal 2008, the Company’s revenues have continued to decline and its losses have increased. The Company primarily attributes the revenue reduction, operating loss and loss before income taxes to the global economic downturn and having key suppliers selling their products through China suppliers other than the Company. Exacerbating these losses in Fiscal 2010 was the further inclination of key suppliers selling their products other than through the Company and the delay of site readiness of several waste water treatment contracts including one site delayed by a fatal traffic accident. A major portion of the operating loss for Fiscal 2011 was principally from Yixing Pact Environmental Technology Company Limited and Pact Asia Pacific Limited for the amount of approximately US$932,000 as a result of loss of approximately US$632,000 for its joint venture and research and development expenses of approximately US$193,000 incurred for its ballast water treatment system (“BWTS”). During Fiscal 2012, the Company had revenues of approximately US$21,645,000, an operating loss of approximately US$59,000 and a profit before income tax of approximately US$13,000. The principal reason for the operating loss for Fiscal 2012 was research and development expenses of approximately US$930,000 incurred for its BWTS. During Fiscal 2013, the Company had revenues of approximately US$18,602,000, an operating loss of approximately US$255,000 and a loss before income tax of approximately US$157,000. The principal reason for the operating loss for Fiscal 2013 was the drop in sales revenue from engineering activities as a result of competition from companies offering similar services, that we believe to be of lower quality than our services, at lower prices.

We also believe that we are entering difficulties in the PRC in obtaining certain new customers for our products and services as these potential new customers appear reluctant to separate from their current service providers and sellers.

As the global economic downturn appears to be continuing, showing only modest positive economic improvement and the Company may face further competition by having key suppliers selling their products through China suppliers other than the Company, there can be no assurance that the Company’s revenues will not decline further and losses will not increase.

Future Plans To Increase Revenue; Decrease Losses and Return To Profitability Uncertain.

The Company has been attempting to stem the decline in revenue by streamlining its activities. The Company has reduced its staff, consolidated offices and is trying to improve staff efficiencies. To date this has not been successful but the Company plans to continue these economizing efforts. Also, land based tests were passed by the Company, sea based tests are in progress and the Company expects to obtain formal certification in approximately mid 2014 from China’s Classification Society and if all is successful, the Company hopes to receive revenues from orders to retrofit and install its ballast water treatment process into ocean going vessels. There can be no assurance that continuing its streamlining efforts and its testing of its ballast water treatment process will be successful or, if successful, that the process will result in significant revenues to the Company. Even if the Company builds a market for a product or service, the research and development and marketing of that product or service will result in losses to the Company for a significant period of time, even if that product or service ultimately becomes profitable. Also, we have developed products that have resulted in nominal sales or that we have been unable to market to date. There can be no assurance that products, if any, that we develop in the future, will not have similar results with the time, effort and expense used to develop any such products having a negative impact on the Company.

We Have Made And May Make Further Acquisitions Without Your Approval.

Although we endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in any particular acquisition, there can be no assurance that we will properly or accurately ascertain all such risks. We will have virtually unrestricted flexibility in identifying and selecting prospective acquisition candidates and in deciding if they should be acquired for cash, equity or debt, and in what combination of cash, equity and/or debt.

We have taken and are seeking to take equity positions in related businesses. We will not seek stockholder approval for any additional acquisitions unless required by applicable law and regulations. Our stockholders will not have an opportunity to review financial and other information on acquisition candidates prior to consummation of any acquisitions under almost all circumstances.

Investors will be relying upon our management, upon whose judgment the investor must depend, with only limited information concerning management’s specific intentions.

There can be no assurance that the Company will locate and successfully complete any such additional acquisitions, or any acquisition will perform as anticipated, will not result in significant unexpected liabilities or will ever contribute significant revenues or profits to the Company or that the Company will not lose its entire investment in any acquisition.

Dependence Upon Management.

The Company is dependent upon the services of its executive officers, in particular Mr. T.C. Leung, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and its Chief Executive Officer. The business of the Company could be adversely effected by the loss of services of, or a material reduction in the amount of time devoted to the Company by its executive officers. The Company does not maintain “Key Man” life insurance on the lives of any of its officers and directors. See Item 6. “Directors, Senior Management and Employees.”

Adverse Impact Upon The Company Of PRC’s Credit Restrictions.

The Company faces increasing competition from other distributors of substantially similar products and manufacturers themselves, both foreign and Chinese. The Company faces its principal competition from foreign manufacturers and other distributors of their products situated in Hong Kong and the PRC. Competition may cause purchaser demands for price reductions and reduced profit margin.

Competition With Vendors.

As the Company assembles products of the kind that it presently distributes, the Company may directly compete with certain of its vendors. Any such direct competition may adversely affect its relationship with its vendors. See Item 4. “Information on the Company.”

Dependence On Vendors: Lack of Long Term Arrangements: Loss of Vendors.

The Company distributes supplies manufactured by a number of vendors, including, Thermo Fisher Scientific Group (“Thermo”), Biotage Sweden AB (“Biotage”), Hach Company-Lachat Instruments (“Hach”), and Stanford Research Systems, Inc. (“Stanford”), that are the Company’s largest suppliers, pursuant to short term arrangements. Although alternative sources of supply exist, there can be no assurance that the termination of the Company’s relationship with any of the above or other vendors would not have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations due to the Company’s dependence on these vendors. A substantial number of the Company’s suppliers have been selling their products into China directly and through other distributors. During Fiscal 2011, our sales revenue from trading activities decreased by approximately 17% as a result of a loss of vendors. During Fiscal 2012, our sales revenue from trading activities slightly decreased by approximately 5% but no significant vendors were lost. A loss of a substantial vendor or substantial number of our other vendors and/or our competing with them would have a material adverse effect on our revenues from trading activities. During Fiscal 2013, our sales revenue from trading activities slightly increased by approximately 2%.

Risks Relating To the Company Itself; Control By T.C. Leung; Potential Conflict Of Interests.

T.C. Leung, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, as a practical matter, is able to nominate and cause the election of all the members of the Company’s Board of Directors, control the appointment of its officers and the day-to-day affairs and management of the Company. As a consequence, Mr. Leung can have the Company managed in a manner that would be in his own interests and not in the interests of the other shareholders of the Company. See Item 6. “Directors, Senior Management and Employees” and Item 7. “Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions.”

Certain Legal Consequences of Incorporation In The British Virgin Islands; Rights Of Shareholders Not As Extensive As In U.S. Corporations.

Principles of British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) corporate law relating to such matters as the validity of the Company procedures, the fiduciary duties of management and the rights of the Company’s shareholders may differ from those that would apply if the Company were incorporated in a jurisdiction within the United States.

The rights of shareholders under BVI law are not as extensive as the rights of shareholders under legislation or judicial precedent in many United States jurisdictions. Under United States law, majority and controlling shareholders generally have certain “fiduciary” responsibilities to the minority shareholders. United States shareholder action must be taken in good faith and actions by controlling shareholders in a United States jurisdiction and executive compensation which are obviously unreasonable may be declared null and void.

The BVI law protecting the interests of the minority shareholders is not as protective in all circumstances as the law protecting minority shareholders in United States jurisdictions. The shareholders of the Company may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions by the Company’s Board of Directors, and may have more limited rights, than they might have as shareholders of a company incorporated in many United States jurisdictions.

Anti-Takeover Provisions.

The Company has 5,000,000 shares of “blank check preferred stock” authorized. The “blank check preferred stock” is intended to strengthen the Company’s ability to resist an unsolicited takeover bid and may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect. The Board of Directors has the right to fix the rights, terms and preferences at the time of issue of “blank check preferred stock” without further action by our shareholders.

Uncertainty Of Enforcing United States Judgments.

There is some uncertainty whether BVI courts would enforce judgments of the courts of the United States and of other foreign jurisdictions, or enforce actions brought in the BVI which are based upon the securities laws of the United States. A final monetary judgment obtained in the United States will be treated as a cause of action in itself by the BVI courts so that no retrial of the issues would be necessary, provided that material preconditions are met and the proceedings pursuant to which judgment was obtained were not contrary to the rules of natural justice.

All of the Company’s directors and executive officers reside outside of the United States, service of process upon the Company and such persons may be difficult to effect in the United States upon all such directors and officers.

All of the Company’s assets are and will be located outside of the United States, in Hong Kong and the PRC, and any judgment obtained in the United States may not be enforced in those jurisdictions. Hong Kong courts will not directly enforce against the Company or such persons judgments obtained in the United States. There is also substantial doubt as to the enforceability in the PRC of actions to enforce judgments of the United States’ courts arising out of or based on the ownership of the securities, including judgments arising out of or based on the civil liability provisions of United States federal or state securities laws or otherwise. See “— Certain Legal Consequences of Incorporation in the British Virgin Islands; Rights of Shareholders not as Extensive as in U.S. Corporations.”

Being A Foreign Private Issuer Exempts Us From Certain SEC And NASDAQ QMX (“NASDAQ”) Requirements.

We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). As such, with certain limitations, we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States public companies including: (1) the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the Commission of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K; (2) the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; (3) the provisions of Regulation FD aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information; and (4) the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership and trading activities and establishing insider liability for profits realized from any “short-swing” trading transaction (i.e., a purchase and sale, or sale and purchase, of the issuer’s equity securities within less than six months). Because of these exemptions, investors are not afforded the same protections or information generally available to investors holding shares in public companies organized in the United States.

Our Securities Must Continue To Meet Qualitative And Quantitative Listing Maintenance Criteria For NASDAQ: Recent Deficiency Cured.

Our securities are quoted and traded on NASDAQ. There can be no assurance that we will continue to meet both the qualitative and quantitative criteria for continued quotation and trading of our securities on NASDAQ. One of NASDAQ’s listing requirements is the maintenance of a closing bid price of US$ 1.00 per share. During periods of time in 2008 and 2009 the Company was not in compliance with that requirement but NASDAQ had generally suspended that requirement and others due to market conditions and/or the US$1.00 per share bid price was not met for a sufficient period of time to cause a NASDAQ deficiency action.

On September 20, 2011, the Company received a deficiency letter from NASDAQ that the Company was no longer in compliance with NASDAQ’s listing maintenance rule for failing to have a bid price of at least US$ 1.00 per share for the prior thirty trading days. In order to regain compliance, in January 2012, the Company effected a combination or reverse stock split of its issued Ordinary Shares. On February 1, 2012, the Company received a letter from NASDAQ advising that as the bid price for the Company’s Ordinary Shares had risen above US$ 1.00 for the required period of time, the Company was in compliance with NASDAQ’s maintenance listing requirements.

On April 15, 2014, the closing price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares was US$4.2114. If we are unable to meet the continued quotation criteria of NASDAQ and are suspended from trading on these markets, our securities could possibly be traded in the over-the-counter market and be quoted in the so-called “pink sheets” or, if then available, the OTC Bulletin Board. In such an event, an investor would likely find it more difficult to dispose of, or even obtain accurate quotations of, our securities. See “We Are Also Required To Meet Certain, But Not All Corporate Governance Criteria Applicable to NASDAQ Listed Issuers.”

We Are Also Required To Meet Certain, But Not All, Corporate Governance Criteria Applicable To NASDAQ Listed Issuers.

Although, in the past, we have been able to satisfy corporate governance criteria applicable to NASDAQ, those criteria are difficult to comply with and include, among other things: (a) a heightened degree of independence of members of the board of directors with independent directors to, among other things: hold regular meetings among themselves only; (b) establishment of a code of conduct addressing compliance with laws; and (c) a limit on payments to independent directors and their family members (other than for services on the board of directors).

These corporate governance requirements and a strict definition of “independent director” make it more difficult to find independent directors for our Board of Directors. There is intense competition for qualified independent directors, including those persons with accounting experience and financial statement acumen to serve on audit committees. We believe that continued compliance with the corporate governance requirements applicable to NASDAQ listed issuers may be difficult and increase our costs and expenses as the costs of finding and compensating independent directors escalate and the costs of administering their new powers and responsibilities is an added financial burden. If we are unable to attract and keep a sufficient number of independent directors willing to take on the responsibilities imposed by such rules on what we believe to be commercially reasonable terms, our securities may be delisted from NASDAQ. (See “Being a ‘Controlled Company’ Exempts Us From Certain Other Corporate Governance Criteria Applicable to NASDAQ Listed Issuers.”)

Being A “Controlled Company” Exempts Us From Certain Other Corporate Governance Criteria Applicable To NASDAQ Listed Issuers.

As a result of T.C. Leung, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer beneficially owning the majority voting power of our Ordinary Shares, we are a “controlled company” as that term is defined in rules and regulations applicable to NASDAQ listed issuers. As a “controlled company”, we are not required to comply with certain NASDAQ corporate governance criteria including, among other things, the requirements that the majority of our Board be independent directors, and their having the authority to approve director nominations and executive officer compensation.

We Are Not Subject To Various Corporate Governance Measures, Which May Result In Shareholders Having Limited Protections.

Recent Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”), has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures by securities exchanges and NASDAQ designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Being a “controlled company,” we are exempt from many, but not all, of those requirements. Furthermore, the absence of such practices with respect to our Company may leave our shareholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.

We May Be Exposed To Potential Risks Relating To Our Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting.

Pursuant to Section 404 of SOX, the SEC adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the company’s internal controls over financial reporting in their annual reports, including Form 20-F.

We expend significant resources in developing and maintaining the necessary documentation and testing procedures required by SOX, there is a risk that we will not maintain compliance with all of these requirements.

In the event we identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls that we cannot remediate in a timely manner our ability to obtain equity or debt financing could suffer and the market price of our shares could decline.

The Market Price Of Our Securities Has Been Fluctuating Widely.

During the past several years, the market price of our Ordinary Shares has fluctuated widely on occasion. Except for the price declines that the Company attributes to the current global economic downturn, the Company knows of no reason for these wide fluctuations. See Item 9.C- “Markets.”

There Are Risks In Purchasing Low-Priced Securities.

If our securities were to be suspended or delisted from NASDAQ, they could be subject to rules under the Exchange Act which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established clients and “accredited investors”. For transactions covered by such rules, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination of the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, such rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability to sell any of our securities in any secondary market that may develop for such securities. In the event our securities are no longer listed on NASDAQ or are not otherwise exempt from the provisions of the SEC’s “penny stock” rules, such rules may also affect the ability of broker-dealers and investors to sell our securities.

There Is No Assurance Of A Continued Public Market For Our Securities.

There can be no assurance that a trading market for our Ordinary Shares will continue.

We May Be Considered To Be A Passive Foreign Investment Company For The 2013 Calendar Year And May Be A Passive Foreign Investment Company For Future Years, Which Would Result In Adverse U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences To U.S. Holders Of Our Ordinary Shares.

A non-U.S. corporation will be considered a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for U.S. income tax purposes, for any taxable year if either (i) at least 75% of its gross income is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of the value of its assets (based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets during a taxable year) is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. The annual PFIC determination to be made by a U.S. holder of our ordinary shares is an inherently factual determination and there is limited guidance regarding the application of the PFIC rules to specific situations. We currently hold a substantial amount of cash and cash equivalents, and investments in PRC enterprises, and the value of our goodwill and other assets may be based in part on the market price of our ordinary shares, which has experienced significant fluctuations. Although the determination of PFIC status is subject to factual uncertainties because it depends upon the valuation of our ordinary shares, as well as our goodwill and other assets and income, we are uncertain if we would be considered to be a PFIC for 2013. In addition, as the determination of PFIC status is made on an annual basis and depends on variables over which we have limited control, there can be no assurance that we will not be a PFIC for 2013 or any future years. If we are a PFIC in any year, U.S. Holders will be subject to certain adverse United States federal income tax consequences, and are urged to consult with his or her tax advisor. See “ Item 10 Taxation—United States Federal Income Taxation .”

If we become directly subject to the recent scrutiny involving U.S.-listed Chinese companies, we may have to expend significant resources to investigate and/or defend the matter, which could harm our business operations, stock price and reputation and could result in a complete loss of your investment in us.

U.S. public companies that have substantial operations in China have been the subject of intense scrutiny by investors, financial commentators and regulatory agencies. Much of the scrutiny has centered around financial and accounting irregularities and mistakes, a lack of effective internal controls over financial reporting and, in many cases, allegations of fraud. As a result of the scrutiny, the publicly traded stock of many U.S. listed China-based companies that have been the subject of such scrutiny has sharply decreased in value. Many of these companies are now subject to shareholder lawsuits and/or SEC enforcement actions that are conducting internal and/or external investigations into the allegations. If we become the subject of any unwarranted scrutiny, even allegations that are not true, we may have to expend significant resources to investigate such allegations and/or defend the Company. Such investigations or allegations will be costly and time-consuming and distract our management from our business plan and could result in our reputation being harmed and our stock price could decline as a result of such allegations, regardless of the truthfulness of the allegations.

INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

ITEM 4A.

HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY

The Company was organized under the laws of the BVI on September 30, 1996 for the purposes of raising capital and for acquiring all the outstanding capital stock of Euro Tech (Far East) Limited, a Hong Kong corporation involved in the distribution of advanced water treatment equipment (“Far East”). In March 1997, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Far East and it became a wholly-owned subsidiary and was the primary operational entity of the Company.

During Fiscal 2005, we completed our plan to increase our equity position in Yixing Pact Environmental Technology Company Limited (“Yixing”) and Pact Asia Pacific Limited (“Pact”, collectively with “Yixing”, the “Pact-Yixing”), companies engaged in water and waste-water treatment solution business. We had previously owned thirty (30%) percent of their capital stock. With the addition of twenty-one (21%) percent of Pact-Yixing’s capital stock in October 2005, they became our majority-owned subsidiaries. In January 2010, we acquired an additional two percent (2%) interest in Pact-Yixing, increasing our ownership to fifty-three (53%) percent of Pact-Yixing. The foregoing purchases of Pact-Yixing were made from Tamworth Industrial Limited (“Tamworth”). In July 2011, we acquired additional 5% equity interests in Pact-Yixing for a total consideration of approximately US$ 234,000 from Tamworth.

Pact-Yixing, situated in Shanghai, specialize in the design, manufacture and operation of water and waste-water treatment plants in several industries situated in China. Pact-Yixing, through associates and business alliances, also conduct similar operations in the Middle East.

In November of 2006 we established Shanghai Euro Tech Environmental Engineering Company Ltd. (“Shanghai — Environmental”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary under the laws of the PRC, to carry on our environmental engineering department with that line of business and its personnel transferred from our subsidiary, Euro Tech (Far East) Ltd. Shanghai — Environmental is focusing on our water and waste-water treatment engineering business. We are scaling down this company as we have a 58% equity interest in Pact-Yixing that operates similar business activities to avoid duplication of costs and efforts.

China’s rapid economic growth had led it to become one of the world’s largest emitters of sulfur dioxide. The damage due to acid rain caused by sulfur dioxide is vast, and is also affecting the neighboring countries as air currents transport sulfur dioxide. To tackle these environmental and geo-political issues, China has established targets to reduce key pollutants, namely, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and suspended particulates. Heavy polluters are being warned to reduce their emissions or face penalties. We believe that as a result, the demand of desulphurization and dust removal equipment will increase accordingly.

In August 2007, Far East acquired a 20% equity interest in Zhejiang Tianlan Environmental Protection Technology Company Limited (“Blue Sky”), founded in 2000, for approximately US$4,648,000. Blue Sky provides design and general contracting services, equipment manufacturing, installation, testing and operation management for the purification treatment of industrial waste gases (specifically as desulphurization, flue gas de-nitration, dust removal) emitted from various boilers and industrial furnaces of power plants, steelworks and chemical plants. By securing an equity stake in Blue Sky’s business, we have a strategic partner to work within China’s environmental protection business. With Blue Sky’s technology and technical support, we believe we are able to provide services and environmental solutions not only for water and waste-water treatment but also for air pollution control for industrial clients in China. Blue Sky's revenue and net income have steadily increased during Fiscal 2010 and Fiscal 2011. During Fiscal 2012, Blue Sky’s sales orders increased by 27%. However, the delay in implementation of some major projects resulted in decrease in revenues and net incomes.

In January 2008, we acquired a 20% equity interest in Zhejiang Jia Huan Electronic Co. Ltd., (“Jia Huan”) for approximately US$2,610,000. Jia Huan has been in the environmental protection business since 1969. Approximately 95% of Jia Huan’s business is related to air pollution control and less than 5% is related to water and wastewater treatment. Jia Huan designs and manufactures automatic control systems and electric voltage control equipment for electrostatic precipitators which are used as air purification equipment for power plants, cement plants and incinerators to remove and collect dust and pollutants from exhaust stacks.

In Fiscal 2013, Blue Sky and Jia Huan made income contribution of approximately US$250,000 and US$75,000, respectively, to the Company. According to publicly available news reports, the PRC’s Premier opened that country’s annual Parliament meeting and declared war on pollution and the PRC’s National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”), the PRC’s economic planner reported that new guidelines would be issued on relocating key industries away from urban centers to help tackle smog. The NDRC said it would seek to ensure that polluters pay by establishing a new mechanism to compensate victims of environmental damage and hold local officials accountable. We hope that the foregoing will benefit these two affiliates.

ITEM 4B.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW.

The Company had been primarily a distributor of a wide range of advanced water treatment equipment, laboratory instruments, analyzers, test kits and related supplies and power generation equipment (including recorders and power quality analyzers). The Company acts as an exclusive and non-exclusive distributor for well-known manufacturers of such equipment, primarily to commercial customers and governmental agencies or instrumentalities in Hong Kong and the PRC.

The Company distributes products through its Hong Kong headquarters, its trading companies and representative offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Xi´An, Shenyang, and Urumqi.

Laboratory instruments, analyzers and test kits are used to analyze the chemical content and ascertain the level of impurities or other contaminants in water. The Company distributes analytical re-agents and chemicals to support testing systems of laboratory and portable instruments, process analyzers and portable test kits and assist in the analysis process. The Company offers a wide variety of test kits to test water quality. The Company believes that these portable test kits are easy to use and preadapted for rugged field use. These test kits are used to monitor drinking water distribution systems.

Laboratory and portable instruments generally consist of analytical instruments including, but not limited to the following: spectrophotometers, colorimeters, turbidimeters, ion-selective electrodes, chemical oxygen demand apparati, digestion apparati, and precision re-agent dispensing devices which are used to test and monitor impurities and contaminants in water systems. See “Glossary.”

The Company also distributes continuous-reading process analyzers, process turbidimeters, pH controllers and analyzer accessories. These products are generally used to monitor and control drinking water quality to ensure that water treatment procedures comply with regulatory standards. See “Glossary.”

To allow the Company to bid on larger water, waste-water and power generation projects, we acquired Pact-Yixing. The Company believes that the Pact-Yixing business is complementary to the Company’s business as the Company expects to have a competitive advantage by offering customers and potential customers not only hardware but solutions to engineering problems as well.

Pact-Yixing have completed a substantial number of industrial water and waste-water treatment projects in the PRC. The majority of these projects are for large multinational manufacturing facilities for clients from the USA, Europe and Japan. Process design as well as mechanical and electrical engineering are completed in-house and manufacturing contracted to approved fabricators of components. Fabrication drawings are also done in-house for submittal to said fabricators under the supervision of Pact-Yixing’s quality control engineers.

Pact-Yixing clients cover a varied spectrum of industries covering semiconductor, pharmaceutical, petrochemicals, auto and auto parts, steel, food and beverage and beauty products. For example, in February 2010, Pact entered into an agreement with a stainless steel manufacturer providing for an aggregate of up to US$3,800,000 for the engineering, design, supply, equipping, installation, personnel training and commissioning of waste water treatment, direct water cooling, indirect cooling tower water, potable water treatment and industrial water treatment systems in Jiangsu, China. The systems were completed as of December 31, 2011 and the contract price was fully paid.

The water and waste-water treatment processes applied at Pact-Yixing cover chemical, physical, biological and membrane separation. A combination of those processes are normally used to treat a specific industrial process feed or effluent. With respect to the water treatment side of Pact-Yixing’s business, they design and build filtration equipment, ion-exchange softeners and demineralizers, reverse osmosis, electro-deionization, chemical treatment systems and package type mobile water treatment plants. As for waste-water treatment, Pact-Yixing design and build biological treatment systems, oil coalescers, dissolved air flotation, lamella clarifiers, chemical reactor tanks, ultrafiltration, microfiltration, dewatering systems and package type mobile sewage treatment plants. Biological treatment plants cover both aerobic and anaerobic processes. State-of-the-art aerobic processes of SBR (sequential batch reactors) and MBR (membrane biological reactors) are technologies also covered by Pact-Yixing. See “Glossary.”

In 2006, Pact-Yixing commenced selling water and waste-water treatment equipment. Pact and Engineering FZC (“PACTFZC”), a Middle Eastern water treatment company based in Dubai, and a third party formed a joint venture (the “JV”). Pact invested US$300,000 and has a 60% controlling interest of the JV, PACTFZC, majority owned by George Hayek, the Company’s Managing Director and a third party each invested US$100,000 in consideration for 20% interests. In December 2011, the partners of the JV decided to close the JV due to an unsatisfactory return on their investment. The JV had an operating loss of approximately US$632,000 in Fiscal 2011 as a result of expenses resulting from the liquidation of the JV, such as severance payments and impairment of inventory. The JV was liquidated and its business has been taken over by Pact-Yixing.

We continue the process of shifting our emphasis from the distribution of instruments and equipment to engineering and manufacturing activities. Revenues from our trading activities have fallen-off as a substantial number of our suppliers have been selling their products into China directly and through other distributors. Many of these other distributors are local Chinese companies and can operate with a lower overhead. In Fiscal 2008, revenues and net income generated from our environmental engineering department and our majority owned subsidiaries, Pact-Yixing (companies engaged in the water and waste water treatment solution business), more than offset our falling trading revenues.

In Fiscal 2009, that was no longer the case as Pact-Yixing’s revenues declined as a result of the global economic downturn. During Fiscal 2010, trading revenue substantially declined. In response, the Company began streamlining operations and further restructured the Company from a trading orientation to manufacturing and engineering activities. Non-profitable or non-strategic retail shops and representative office were closed with consequent cut in staff to focus on trading activity in Hong Kong, Macau and Guangdong.

A fatal traffic accident in September 2010 disrupted the progress of a contract from a petrochemical industrial park for the Company to design, supply, install and commission an industrial wastewater treatment system in Guangxi, China and other engineering activities and business opportunities. Five people died, including two members of our project management team and an employee of a civil engineering sub-contractor. The Company drew employees from other projects and hired a new sub-contractor. Drawing personnel from other projects delayed those projects as well. Lastly, several waste water treatment projects were delayed as a result of site preparation short comings by the owners. All these factors had a substantive negative impact on the Company’s financial results of operations for Fiscal 2010. The loss to the Company resulting from the traffic accident cannot be financially quantified.

During Fiscal 2011, revenues from trading activities continued to decline as we continued to lose the right to distribute products, such as Siemens’ products. We mainly sold Siemens’ water treatment products to Hong Kong’s government water supply agency. Our agreement with Siemens terminated at the end of September 2010 and this product loss was the major factor in our Hong Kong sales decline. Anticipating the potential for such losses we had starting economizing by reducing staff, consolidating offices (as early as 2010) while attempting to improve staff productivity. Also revenue from Pact-Yixing declined in 2011 while it experienced a high rate of staff turnover and unfavorable economic conditions caused by the decrease in sales contracts from multinational companies as a result of the European sovereign debt crisis. Engineering expenses increased by US$0.6 million primarily due to the approximately US$ 301,000 expended on the liquidation of the JV. Additionally, approximately US$ 193,000 was utilized for research and development for the BWTS. The foregoing factors had a substantive negative impact on the Company’s Fiscal 2011 financial results of operations.

During Fiscal 2012, there was no loss of major products distribution right, revenues from trading activities slightly declined but the gross profit remained the same as Fiscal 2011. Due to our continuous efforts in economizing by cutting staff, consolidating offices (as early as 2010) while attempting to improve staff productivity, our operating loss from trading activities decreased. Revenue from Pact-Yixing increased in 2012 resulted in operating profit from engineering activities even though approximately US$ 930,000 was utilized for research and development expenses for the BWTS. In Fiscal 2012, the general manager left and during that year and Fiscal 2013 there was no significant sales contracts received for Shanghai — Environmental and we intend to phase out this company due to the duplication of its business activities with Pact-Yixing.

During Fiscal 2013, there were no major changes in revenues from trading activities. Revenue from Pact-Yixing decreased in 2013 resulting in decrease in operating profit from engineering activities of approximately US$ 295,000.

Our Strategy for 2014

We are focusing our trading activities in Hong Kong, Macau and Guangdong under a more productive operation. These cities are located close to our Hong Kong headquarters, our customers are more concentrated in these cities rendering customer support easier while incurring less travel expenses and while supporting distributorships in these cities as opposed to distributorships throughout China. We will continue our efforts to control costs to enhance operational efficiency. At the same time we will place greater focus at the manufacturing level on the chemical reagent business that the Company believes is very profitable and easier to sell. These chemical reagents are manufactured in our plant in Shanghai. These reagents include but are not limited to COD analyzers, fine carbon tetrachloride, total nitrogen and free chlorine. These reagents are used by water and used by water and wastewater treatment plants and other industries such as beverage, as consumables by water and wastewater treatment plants, consumables with the water analyzers to monitor the quality of the water/ discharged water. Our existing distribution network for these products, is not that effective, we experienced no significant increase in sales for same in Fiscal 2013 and plan to seek new distribution channels in Fiscal 2014. Also, during the 1st Quarter of Fiscal 2013, we received three engineering contracts worth about US$ 2.3 million from two foreign companies outside China and one company in China and we feel positive about our ability to expand our worldwide customer base by working closely and actively with some international engineering companies because of Pact-Yixing’s competitive prices and the high quality of its services. Two of said contracts were completed in Fiscal 2013 and the remaining one contract is expected to be completed in the first half of Fiscal 2014. We will look for opportunities for Shanghai — Environmental to co-operate with Pact-Yixing to generate a synergy effect. We have been investing significant portion of our resources to developing our BWTS for the global market and expects the new BWTS business will generate revenues for coming years of which no assurance can be given. We will also explore the opportunities for wastewater treatment for fracking water in oil and gas industry.

Product Distribution and Other Services

Scientific Instruments. The Company distributes analytical instruments, environmental quality monitoring instruments, sample pre-treatment equipment and general purpose laboratory instruments. Analytical instruments include, but are not limited to, chromatographs, mass spectrometers, flow injector analyzers, automated sample preparation workstations and atomic spectrometers. Environmental monitoring instruments include both air and water quality monitoring instruments. Air quality monitoring instruments are generally divided into those which monitor ambient (i.e., atmospheric) air, and those which monitor pollution sources. The revenue from sales of air quality monitoring instruments is nominal as the Company has not been able to acquire a distributorship for air quality instruments from brand name manufactures that we believe engage in direct customer sales or rely on their existing distributors. Sample pre-treatment equipment are used to clean-up the sample prior to chemical analysis for checking pesticides and drug residues in food. Additionally, the Company offers general purpose laboratory instruments including a variety of water quality monitoring and analysis equipment, such as continuous reading process analyzers, process turbidimeters, pH controllers, and test kits for monitoring chemical content in water (i.e., chlorine, fluorides, etc.). See “Glossary.”

Customers for the analytical instruments include government agencies, academic and research institutions, major laboratories and beverage producers, including analytical system to the Hong Kong Government Laboratory for analysis of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and pesticides in the environment. Customers for water quality monitoring instruments also include government agencies. Customers for sample pre-treatment equipment are mainly different laboratories of major cities under the Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine in the PRC. The Company derived approximately 59.1%, 55.3% and 54.4% of its revenues from the sale of scientific instruments during Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2012 and Fiscal 2011, respectively.

Power Solutions and Process Automation Products. The Company distributes general testing and measuring equipment including multi-channel digital and analogue recorders, signal amplifiers and calibration equipment for energy conservation, renewable energy equipment, power quality analyzers, continuous emissions monitoring systems and air pollution control systems to industries including power plants, railway and aero-space industries, utilities, educational institutions and telecommunications companies.

The Company also provides process control systems specifically designed for the industrial needs of clients including sensors, temperature gauges, pressure gauges, power and energy consumption meters, flow meters, valves, temperature and pressure transmitters and control devices, temperature and pressure calibrators, moisture, power, energy and harmonic analyzers. Customers for the foregoing distributed products include government water supply agencies, water treatment facilities, power and electric companies, petrochemical plants and instrument manufacturers.

In conjunction with the distribution of products such as programmable logic controllers, telemetry units and SCADA systems and software, the Company also provides systems engineering to government agencies, waste-water treatment and power generation plants and beverage producers. Specific services provided include automated control system design, the operation and management of various waste-water, water and power generation projects. We endeavor to introduce, develop, and promote new and advanced technologies, products, and appropriate technical developments from abroad. We have also been cooperating with established technology companies and engage in systems and special projects in Programmable Logic Control, Telemetry unit, SCADA systems, Human Machine Interface Software and Sequential Event Recording.

The Company derived approximately 39.4%, 42.9% and 44.2% of its revenues from the sale of Power Solutions and Process Automation Products during Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2012 and Fiscal 2011, respectively.

Technical Support. The Company’s technical support staff provides customers with maintenance, installation assistance, and calibration services, and assists sales personnel in giving technical advice to and performing product demonstrations for customers. The Company derived approximately 1.5%, 1.8% and 1.4% of its revenues from technical support operations during Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2012 and Fiscal 2011, respectively.

Customers. During Fiscal 2013, the Company distributed products to approximately 1,000 customers, located in Hong Kong, the PRC and Macau such as the Hong Kong Environmental Protection Department, Hong Kong Water Supplies Department, Government Laboratory, Drainage Services Department, and various Environmental Monitoring Centers in the PRC. The Company does not believe that any single customer is material to its operations.

Manufacturing and Product Assembly Operations

The Company, through its PRC subsidiary, Shanghai Euro Tech Limited established in 1999 in the Pudong Jin Qiao Export Processing Zone of Shanghai, engages in the development, production, sales and servicing of environmental equipment, including the development of modern laboratory analyzers, on-line measuring equipment and other analyzers for chemicals. Our products are “tailor-made” for the diversified needs of equipment users. Main products include infrared photometric oil analyzer (“IPOA”), COD analyzers, total organic carbon (“TOC”) analyzer, turbidity meters, total suspended solid analyzers, dissolved oxygen analyzers, various types of spectrophotometers as well as a full spectrum of matching chemical reagents. In late 2005, we began offering new turbidity meters manufactured by the Company. The new turbidimeter is directed at water treatment plants, environmental monitoring status, hydrological stations. In November 2006, we began actively marketing our TOC analytical instrument that measures the degree of the pollution. We have also upgraded other existing instruments and developed a quick response COD test instrument for use on surface water, underground water and domestic and industrial wastewater. In 2008 we introduced a flue gas emissions analyzer for use in environmental compliance monitoring. We also developed energy meters (devices measuring electric energy consumption and corresponding carbon dioxide emissions) and water toxicity analysis instruments. Although it takes substantial time, effort and expense to develop, test and market a product, our sales of the TOC analyzer and the flue gas emissions analyzer have been nominal to date. We cannot find a suitable market to sell the energy meters which is not that competitive.

Sources of Supply

The Company distributes products manufactured by a substantial number of major American, European and Japanese corporations, including Thermo, Biotage, Hach and Stanford, which are the Company’s largest suppliers, with purchases from them accounting for approximately, 7%, 10%, 10%, and 8% during Fiscal 2011, 10%, 17%, 11% and 7% during Fiscal 2012 and 20%, 17%, 8% and 8% during Fiscal 2013, respectively. The Company has exclusivity agreements for specified geographic areas with many of its suppliers for certain products. Those agreements do not encompass all products distributed by the Company or all of the market areas serviced by the Company. In addition, some of these agreements are memorialized not as formal contracts but rather through other acknowledgements or correspondence which may contain a vague, if any, description of the terms and conditions of such agreement or arrangement, and therefore may be unenforceable. Although the Company’s limited agreements with Biotage and Hach have expired, the Company expects new agreements to be entered into and does have an authorization letter from Hach granting the Company the right to sell its products in Hong Kong and Macao. The Company has only an Authorization Letter from Thermo granting the Company rights to sell Thermo’s Mass Spec Products in Hong Kong and Macao. The Company has only an Authorization Letter from Stanford appointing the Company as Stanford’s sales representative in the PRC and Hong Kong. Although alternative sources of supply exist, there can be no assurance that the termination of the Company’s relationship with any of the above or other vendors would not have an adverse effect on operations.

Future Planning and Expansion

We continuously search for products and equipment with substantial market potential for design and development. For example, international shipping ballast water cargo stowaway species and microorganisms that create unpredictable ecosystem contaminations as ballast water tanks are emptied or refilled at ports of call. The International Maritime Organization (“IMO”) requires that Ballast Water Management (“BWM”) Convention will enter into force 12 months after ratification by 30 States, representing 35 per cent of world merchant shipping tonnage, if and when it goes into force, all ocean going vessels be fitted with dedicated water treatment systems treating ballast water before port-of-call discharge. Pact has been attempting to develop a non-chemical BWTS since late 2010 and Pact has successfully completed and passed the land based test requirement in 2012, and is currently undergoing for ship board testing and expects to obtain certification in the PRC and comply with IMO convention around mid 2014. As of December 31, 2013, 38 countries have joined, representing 30.38% of world merchant shipping tonnage. We anticipate that the costs of any such acquisition or product development would be drawn from our general working capital and, possibly, by seeking strategic partners such as companies in the BWM Convention shipping industries or funding raising from substantial investors, and by private sales of our securities. We have no commitments or received no indications of interest for the private sales of our securities.

The Convention will enter into force 12 months after ratification by 30 States, representing 35 per cent of world merchant shipping tonnage. The adoption of the last set of Guidelines for the uniform implementation of the BWM Convention and the approval and certification of modern ballast water treatment technologies have removed the last barriers to the ratification of instrument and significant number of countries have indicated their intention to accede to this Convention in the near future.

Our plans for the near term also include use of our “on-line” product sales (via www.yibaynet.com) will allow us to continue to offer products at lower prices than our competitors. This website is not that effective at this moment.

The Company believes that by assembling the products it distributes it may realize increased gross profit margins and greater revenues and net income than if it remains only a product distributor. During the next twelve months, we intend to assemble and/or manufacture additional products, especially those related to the air pollution sector and seek opportunities with our suppliers to assemble their products, secure manufacturing and/or assembly facilities. As we begin to promote our BWTS product that currently treats wastewater at a rate of 300 cubic meters per hour, we also intend to develop other BWTS products with greater treatment capacities and target larger markets.

Regulatory Environment

Concerns about and awareness of pollution problems and environmental issues have grown at all levels of PRC government as the PRC experienced economic growth. Environmental protection laws and strict regulations have been enacted and are buttressed by increased budget allocations for environmental regulation, monitoring and enforcement. The PRC’s primary environmental protection agency is the Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP), under which there are Environment Protection Bureaus in each city and county. According to information provided by MEP, there are over 2,700 monitoring stations to collect and analyze the environmental data of each city and county. Besides MEP has identified over 14,400 major industrial polluters, including wastewater discharging enterprises, flue gas emitting enterprises, municipal wastewater treatment plants and heavy metal producing enterprises, for pollution control. MEP is considering to adding on-line toxicity as one of the parameters for on-line monitoring stations in China. The PRC government has established ambitious targets in its 12th Five-Year Program (2011-2015) to slash emissions of pollutants, including sulfur dioxide emissions and COD by 8% and ammonia nitrogen and nitrogen dioxide by 10%. The PRC government passed a law requiring power distributors to combat global warming. A central government fund, financed by a national tariff increase, will subside the tariff gap between more expensive renewable energy and the national average tariff. Preferential policies also encourage construction of renewable energy projects, projects in poorer interior regions that are often rich in water, solar and wind resources. The Company has supplied water and air quality monitoring and analytic instruments to these monitoring stations for several years. There can be no assurance that the agencies will continue to use the Company’s products for these purposes, or that other market competitors will not enter the market with superior products, distribution systems or more competitive prices. See “Competition.”

Competition

The Company faces competition from other distributors of substantially similar products as well as the manufacturers of such products, and in both foreign and Chinese markets. The Company faces its principal competition from manufacturers and other distributors of its core products located in Hong Kong and the PRC. Moreover, the Company has implemented plans to assemble products of the kind that it presently distributes (see “-Product Assembly Operations”). Assembly operations have developed to the stage where some products have already been presented to the market and the Company is in direct and unavoidable competition with certain of its vendors. There can be no assurance that the existence of this direct competition will not impair the Company’s ability or such competitor’s willingness to continue providing other products for continued distribution by the Company and that such a development would not materially adversely affect the Company’s core business.

During Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2012 and Fiscal 2011, the Company’s gross profit margins were approximately 29%, 28% and 24%, respectively. The Company believes that it competes with the PRC manufacturers on the basis of quality and technology. The Company believes it offers foreign-manufactured products which are of higher quality and use more advanced technology than products manufactured in the PRC. The Company believes that it competes with foreign manufacturers and other distributors of their products on the basis of the Company’s more extensive distribution network and an established reputation. Pact-Yixing focuses on a market of providing water and waste water treatment services to multinational companies. The Company competes in this market based upon the quality of its products and having a knowledgeable staff, but faces competition from large PRC and multinational engineering companies, that, in the Company’s view, market their services based upon low pricing as opposed to quality of service.

Website

The Company has an internet platform located at (http://www.chinah2o.com). The website is directed at environmental businesses in China. The website provides environmental news, directories of western suppliers, potential clients in China, and advertisement space but has not generated sufficient external revenue and is now being operated directly through the Company instead of through a subsidiary deregistered in February 2012.

The Company, through its subsidiary, Euro Tech Trading (Shanghai) Limited, a PRC corporation, has a internet platform. The website is located at http://www.yibaynet.com. The website is an instrument sourcing platform under which potential customers can ask for sales quotations and place orders via internet. It can replace some functions of the closed retail shops.

Sales and Marketing

The Company distributes products through its principal office located in Hong Kong and its representative PRC offices located in Beijing, and its wholly-owned trading/retail companies and their representative offices in Shanghai, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Shenyang, Xi’an and Urumqi. During Fiscal 2010, the Company closed five retail outlets and one representative office and consolidated some personnel into our remaining representative offices and retail/trading companies, and reducing overall staffing by 24 people. During Fiscal 2011, the Company closed two representative offices and consolidated some personnel into our remaining representative offices and retail/trading companies, and reducing overall staffing by 18 people. During Fiscal 2012, we reduced overall staffing by seven people. During Fiscal 2013, the Company had a marketing and sales force of 27 people who are paid a salary plus a sales-based commission. Our sales staff assists customers in selecting the equipment, auxiliary parts and products to suit customer specifications. We will continue to consolidate our operations by closing companies and offices that do not appear to be contributing to the Company.

Our remaining sales companies are located in: Shanghai, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Shenyang and Xi’an.

Our remaining representative offices are located in: Beijing and Urumqi. The representative offices are liaison offices of Far East while the sales offices are actually engaged in sales of the Company's products and assisting customers in the use of our products.

Litigation

After the fatal traffic accident in September 2010, the parents of two person who died in the accident, deceased employees of a site the Company was working upon, commenced an action against ten Defendants, including the Company, in the People’s Court, Tian Dong city, Guangxi, PRC. The Plaintiffs alleged that the accident was caused by a vehicle driven by an employee of a civil engineer sub-contractor of the Company, performing Company tasks during the accident and the Company assumed joint and several liability with the driver. The Plaintiffs sought damages of US$ 64,000 and US$ 95,000, respectively, and attorney’s fees. The Company vigorously defended the action and denied liability on the grounds that the driver had not been proven to be the employee of the civil engineer sub-contractor and had failed to obey a traffic light. The Tian Dong People’s Court issued a verdict dated September 11, 2011 finding, among other things, that the Company was not liable. One of the Plaintiffs has appealed that verdict to the Baise Intermediate People’s Court, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, PRC on November 20, 2011. After the hearing on April 23, 2012, the appellate court issued a verdict dated May 10, 2012 finding, among other things, that the Company was not liable to joint and several liability with the driver, but to bear 30% of the liability of the civil engineer sub-contractor for the amount of US$52,000. Management is considering not appealing the decision as the chance of success is remote.

The family of a Company employee who died in the accident has asked for additional compensation. However, the Company will only negotiate the compensation after the finalization of the litigation, as the final execution of the verdict by the People’s Court is awaited.

ITEM 5A.

OPERATING RESULTS

Background - Political and Economic Conditions in Hong Kong and the PRC

The Company’s operations are located almost entirely within, and revenues are almost entirely generated from Hong Kong and the PRC. Set forth below are the approximate percentage of the Company’s sales made to customers in the PRC and Hong Kong for the fiscal years indicated:

Fiscal Year	PRC			Hong Kong

2011		75	%		24	%
2012		73	%		25	%
2013		66	%		32	%

Sales to customers situated in Macau and elsewhere through Fiscal 2013 were nominal. This makes the Company particularly susceptible to changes in the political and economic climate of either Hong Kong or the PRC.

Hong Kong. Hong Kong has been one of the prime centers for commercial activity and economic development recently in Southeast Asia. On July 1, 1997, sovereignty over Hong Kong was transferred from the United Kingdom to the PRC. As provided in the Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Basic Law, the Hong Kong SAR is provided a high degree of autonomy except in foreign and defense affairs. The Basic Law provides that the Hong Kong SAR is to have its own legislature, legal and judicial system and full economic autonomy for 50 years after the transfer of sovereignty. Based on the current political conditions and the Company’s understanding of the Basic Law, the Company does not believe that the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong has had or will have an adverse impact on its financial and operating environment. Although the Chinese government has pledged to maintain the economic and political autonomy of Hong Kong over its internal affairs, there is no assurance that such pledge will continue to be honored if there are changes in the Chinese political or economic climate. Sales in Hong Kong, expressed as a percentage of our revenue increased by 7% in Fiscal 2013 as compared with Fiscal 2012. See Item 3D. “Key Information — Risk Factors.”

PRC. The PRC has been a socialist state since 1949. For more than half a century, the PRC’s economy has been, and presently continues to be, a socialist economy operating under government controls promulgated under various State Plans adopted by central Chinese government authorities and implemented, to a large extent, by provincial and local authorities which may set production and development targets. However, since approximately the early 1980s, the PRC’s national government has undertaken certain reforms to permit greater provincial and local economic autonomy and private economic activities. Any change in political or economic conditions may substantially adversely affect these reform initiatives and, in turn, the Company. Sales in the PRC, expressed as a percentage of total revenue decreased by 7% in Fiscal 2013 as compared with Fiscal 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in engineering revenues from the PRC as a result of competition from companies offering similar services, that we believe to be of lower quality than our services, at lower prices. See Item 3D. “Key Information — Risk Factors.”

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2012

Revenue; Gross Profit and Cost of Revenue. Revenue decreased by approximately US$ 3,043,000 or 14.1% to approximately US$ 18,602,000 in Fiscal 2013 from approximately US$ 21,645,000 in Fiscal 2012. The decrease was principally due to a decrease in revenues from engineering activities of approximately US$3,163,000 consisted of a decrease of approximately US$ 887,000 for Shanghai — Environmental and decrease of approximately US$ 2,276,000 for Pact-Yixing. The drop in sales revenue from engineering activities in the PRC was the result of competition from companies offering similar services, that we believe to be of lower quality than our services, at lower prices. Pact-Yixing’s revenues of approximately US$ 7,159,000 and US$ 9,435,000 were included in our revenues in Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012, respectively.

Gross profits decreased by approximately US$ 701,000 or 11.4% to approximately US$ 5,464,000 for Fiscal 2013 as compared to approximately US$ 6,165,000 for Fiscal 2012.

Cost of revenue expressed as a percentage of revenue decreased by 4.3% in Fiscal 2012 as compared with Fiscal 2011. The gross profit margin percentage increase was due principally to improvement in gross margin of both trading and engineering revenues. Yixing-Pact contributed approximately US$ 3,591,000 to our gross profit margin in Fiscal 2012, an increase of approximately US$ 1,879,000 from Fiscal 2011.

Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses were approximately US$ 6,224,000 in Fiscal 2012, a decrease of approximately US$ 341,000 or 5.2% from approximately US$ 6,565,000 in Fiscal 2011.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased by approximately US$14,000 or 23.3% to approximately US$46,000 in Fiscal 2012 from approximately US$60,000 for Fiscal 2011. The increase was primarily due to the drop in interest rates.

Other Income. Other income decreased by approximately US$ 34,000 or 41.5% to approximately US$48,000 in Fiscal 2012 from approximately US$ 82,000 in Fiscal 2011. The decrease in other income was principally due to a foreign exchange loss of approximately US$ 17,000 in Fiscal 2012 as compared to foreign exchange gain of approximately US$ 26,000 in Fiscal 2011.

Loss/Gain on Disposal of Fixed Assets. Loss on disposal of fixed assets was approximately US$22,000 in Fiscal 2012. Gain on disposal of fixed assets of approximately US$ 328,000 in Fiscal 2011 was principally due to the sale of a property in Shanghai.

Income Taxes. Taxes increased by US$ 205,000 to approximately US$ 142,000 in tax charges in Fiscal 2012 from approximately US$63,000 tax credit in Fiscal 2011. This decrease was primarily the result of net taxable profit for Fiscal 2012 as compared to net taxable losses for Fiscal 2011.

Net Income. Income from continuing operations decreased by approximately US$ 950,000 to a net loss of approximately US$ 429,000 in Fiscal 2012 from a net income of approximately US$521,000 in Fiscal 2011.

ITEM 5B.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has primarily used its funds to finance accounts receivable, inventories, and capital expenditures including purchases of property, office furniture and equipment, computers and calibration equipment. The Company has historically met its cash requirements from cash flows from operations, short-term borrowings, bank lines of credit, and long-term mortgage bank loans. The Company expects, but can make no assurances that its present cash reserves, cash from operations, existing available bank credit facilities and proceeds from the issuance of our ordinary shares pursuant to stock option exercises would be sufficient to fund its future capital expenditure requirements. Working capital at the end of Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012 were approximately US$5,830,000 and US$ 5,706,000, respectively.

During Fiscal 2013, the Company used net cash of approximately US$2,555,000 in its operating activities principally as a result of net loss of US$18,000, increase in accounts receivables of approximately US$993,000 and prepayments and other current assets of approximately US$436,000, decrease in accounts payable of approximately US$598,000 and other payables of approximately US$299,000 which was partially covered by an inventory decrease of approximately US$159,000. During Fiscal 2012, the Company generated net cash of approximately US$2,794,000 from its operating activities principally as a result of decrease in accounts receivables of approximately US$655,000 and prepayments and other current assets of approximately US$925,000, increase in accounts payable of approximately US$838,000 and other payables of approximately US$327,000 that was sufficient to cover the net loss of approximately US$ 429,000.

During Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012, the Company generated approximately US$ 336,000 and used approximately US$ 632,000 in investing activities, respectively. The Company used approximately US$51,000 and US$ 41,000 to purchase facilities and equipment in Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012, respectively. During Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012, the Company reduced approximately US$274,000 and used approximately US$593,000, respectively, as restricted cash to issue performance guarantees to its customers through its banks in projects requiring performance guarantees. During Fiscal 2011, the Company used approximately US$238,000 to acquire additional 5% equity interest in Pact-Yixing and used approximately US$435,000 to maintain its 20% equity interest in Blue Sky as a result of capital expansion resulting from the issuance of additional shares to employees of Blue Sky.

During Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012, the Company received dividends of approximately US$246,000 and US$Nil, respectively, from the affiliates. The Company used approximately US$Nil and US$33,000, respectively, in Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012 for financing the purchase of its Ordinary Shares as treasury stock. The Company had various banking facilities available for overdraft, import and export credits and foreign exchange contracts from which the Company could have accessed up to approximately US$1,538,000 at December 31, 2013. The aforementioned available credit facilities were obtained on the conditions that, among other things, the Company not create a charge or lien on its other assets in favor of third parties without such bank’s consent, and the Company maintaining a certain level of net worth. These credit facilities were obtained on the conditions that, among other things, the Company pledge rented out property of approximately 1,200 square feet in Hong Kong as security, not create a charge or lien on its other assets in favor of third parties without such bank’s consent, and the Company maintaining a certain level of net worth.

Cash decreased from approximately US$7,468,000 at the end of Fiscal 2012 to US$5,406,000 at the end of Fiscal 2013. The principal reasons for the decrease in cash were the results of our operating losses and the deterioration in our working capital position.

The Company’s net accounts receivable increased from approximately US$3,089,000 at the end of Fiscal 2012 to US$4,082,000 at the end of Fiscal 2013. The amount of receivables subject to collection is expected to be received under normal commercial trading terms.

The Company’s inventory decreased from approximately US$653,000 at the end of Fiscal 2012 to approximately US$494,000 at the end of Fiscal 2013.

The Company’s capital expenditures were approximately US$51,000 and US$41,000 in Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012, respectively. Capital expenditures during Fiscal 2013 and Fiscal 2012 were incurred primarily in connection with the purchase of office equipment, furniture and fixtures. The Company continues to develop new products, for example, non-chemical ballast water treatment system. If such products developments are indeed made, the Company may expect to incur significantly larger capital expenditures, for which the Company presently intends, but as to which no assurance can be made, to use existing cash reserves, cash from operations, available bank credit facilities and proceeds from the issuance of our ordinary shares to fund such capital expenditures. In April 2011, the Company sold a building that had been used as representative office in Shanghai to an independent third party for approximately US$ 489,000. This office was moved to the Company’s Pudong location where the engineering and manufacturing operates as one of its streamlining actions.

Goodwill

Goodwill related to the engineering segment which is profitable. As of December 31, 2013, we completed the annual impairment test. Based on the result of the first step of the test, the Company determined that there was no impairment of goodwill.

Anticipated Future Resources and Uses of Cash

The Company has historically funded its working capital, capital expenditure, investing and expansions needs from operations, available bank credit facilities and proceeds from the issuances of our ordinary shares and expects to continue funding these requirements from operations and available bank credit facilities. The Company may use its funds to form strategic alliances with third parties, invest in product research and development, or expand its sales offices or, with third parties, seek to acquire new products or businesses or form strategic alliances. The Company expects, but can make no assurances that its present cash reserves, cash from operations and existing available bank credit facilities would be sufficient to fund its future cash requirements.

Inflation

The Company believes generally that past declining rates of inflation in the PRC have had a positive effect on its results from operations. As a result of the recent rise in the rate of inflation in the PRC, we anticipate increases in the overhead costs of our PRC affiliates and offices. The Company believes, although no assurance can be given, that as credit restrictions are gradually lifted, it will be able to increase prices in the market for its products and thus realize increased profit margins.

Critical Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

The Group’s main source of revenue is the sale of water and waste water related process control, analytical and testing instruments, disinfection equipment, supplies and related automation systems. The Company recognises revenue when the product is delivered and the title is transferred. For certain products where installation is necessary, revenue is recognised upon completion of installation. Revenue earned from customer support services, which represents a minor percentage of total revenues, is recognised when such services are provided.

Revenues and profits in long term fixed price contracts or engineering income are recognised using the percentage of completion method in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition – Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. This approach primarily based on contract costs incurred to date compared with total estimated contract costs. Changes to total estimated contract costs or losses, if any, are recognised in the period they are determined. Revenues recognised in excess of amounts billed are classified as costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts. Essentially all of such amounts are expected to be billed and collected within one year and are classified as current assets. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts are classified as current liabilities. When reasonably dependable estimates cannot be made, construction contract revenues are recognised using the completed contract method.

Inventory Valuation

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, on the first-in, first-out method, or market value. Costs include purchase and related costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition. Market value is calculated based on the estimated normal selling price, less further costs expected to be incurred for disposal. Allowance is made for obsolete, slow moving or defective items, where appropriate.

Deferred Taxes

The Group accounts for income and deferred tax under the provision of FASB ASC Subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes, under which deferred taxes are recognised for all temporary differences between the applicable tax balance sheets and the consolidated balance sheet. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. ASC 740-10 also requires the recognition of the future tax benefits of net operating loss carry forwards. A valuation allowance is established when the deferred tax assets are not expected to be realised within a reasonable period of time.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to be applicable for taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognised in income for the period that includes the enactment date.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” The amendments in this ASU clarify the scope for derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset or subject to netting arrangements. An entity is required to apply the amendments for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The amendments in this ASU require an entity to present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. In addition, the amendments require a cross-reference to other disclosures currently required for other reclassification items to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. Companies should apply these amendments for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2012. The Company has included the required disclosures from ASU 2013-02 in the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04: Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date. This standard requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about those obligations. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We do not expect the provisions of ASU 2013-04 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, Foreign Currency Matters (Topic 830): Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. This standard applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part of or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. In addition, the amendments resolve the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (i.e. step acquisitions) involving a foreign entity. The amendments in this are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We do not expect the provisions of ASU 2013-05 to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes.” The amendments in this ASU permit the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (also referred to as the Overnight Index Swap Rate) to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815, in addition to interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government and the London Interbank Offered Rate. The amendments also remove the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The amendments apply to all entities that elect to apply hedge accounting of the benchmark interest rate under Topic 815. The amendments are effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” The amendments in this ASU provide guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward exists. An unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-01, “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” The amendments in this ASU permit reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. A reporting entity that uses the effective yield method to account for its investments in qualified affordable housing projects before the date of adoption may continue to apply the effective yield method for those preexisting investments. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2014-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, “Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).” The amendments in this ASU clarify that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2014-04 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not believe that any other recently issued and adopted, but not yet effective, accounting standards should have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

ITEM 5C.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES

During Fiscal 2013, Fiscal 2012 and Fiscal 2011, the Company expensed approximately US$427,000, US$930,000 and US$200,000, respectively, on the development of its products. It is anticipated that an additional US$600,000 in research and development costs will be expended on similar projects and potential research and development projects for the development of BWTS, air and water testing equipment and monitoring equipment during Fiscal 2014.

ITEM 5D.

TREND INFORMATION.

There are increasing demands in the PRC for clean water, clean air, greater industrial pollution controls, waste management and electricity. We also see additional distributors competing with us. However, given the political situation in the PRC, trends could quickly disappear and we do not know if they will continue in the future. We note that, as evidenced by our acquisition of Pact-Yixing, we are placing greater emphasis on developing our engineering solution business in an effort to capitalize on these increased demands (clean water, pollution controls and waste management).

The Company believes that the expenses incurred in product development may result in increases in revenue but such increases are unlikely to allow for a recovery of the expenses for approximately the next two years.

With the introduction of the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme, a defined contribution scheme managed by an independent trustee on December 1, 2000, each of the Company and its employees who joined the Company subsequently makes monthly contributions to the scheme at 5% of the employee’s cash income as defined under the Mandatory Provident Fund legislation.

Company Option Plans. The Company’s 2002 Officers and Directors Plan (referred to as the “Officer Plans”) provided for the grant of options to acquire Ordinary Shares to the Company’s executive officers and directors and persons holding the same positions with the Company’s subsidiaries. The 2002 Employees Plan (referred to as the “Employees Plan”) provided for the grant of options to acquire Ordinary Shares to key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.

No option was exercisable more than ten years from the date the option was granted.

During Fiscal 2012, the sole Officer and Director of the Company to hold options to purchase Ordinary Shares of the Company was T.C. Leung, who held 30,909 options with a per share exercise price of US$3.22. Said options were granted pursuant to the 2002 Officers and Directors Plan and expired in November 2012.

As of December 31, 2012, 280,349 options had been exercised, including 54,600 options, 72,236 options and 37,418 options exercised by Mr. Leung at prices of US$3.18, US$ 3.22 and US$4.51 per share, respectively.

As of December 31, 2013, no options were outstanding and exercisable. All stock options plans expired in 2012.

As of December 31, 2013, there were no options outstanding.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718-10, which requires us to recognize expense related to the fair value of our stock-based compensation awards, including employee stock options.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of stock price. Because changes in subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in directors’ opinion, the existing model may not necessarily provide a realizable measure of the fair value of the stock options.

ITEM 6C.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

ITEM 10A.

SHARE CAPITAL

Authorized Capital. The authorized capital of the Company is comprised of 20,000,000 Ordinary Shares and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. All of the Company’s shares of capital stock have no par value. In January 2012, the Company combined (reverse split) all of its issued Ordinary Shares at a ratio of two shares for each eleven shares issued. As of April 1, 2014, there were 2,069,223 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding with 160,386 held by the Company as treasury shares.

Holders of the Company’s Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote for each whole share on all matters to be voted upon by shareholders, including the election of directors. Holders of Ordinary Shares do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. All shares of Ordinary Shares are equal to each other with respect to liquidation and dividend rights. In the event of the liquidation of the Company, all assets available for distribution to the holders of Ordinary Shares are distributable among them according to their respective share holdings. All of the outstanding shares of Ordinary Shares of the Company are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Pursuant to the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association and pursuant to the laws of the BVI, the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association may be amended by a resolution of the Board of Directors without shareholder approval. This includes amendments to increase or reduce the authorized capital stock of the Company or to increase or reduce the par value of its shares. The ability of the Company to amend its Memorandum and Articles of Association without shareholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of the Company without any further action by the shareholders including but not limited to, a tender offer to purchase the Common Stock at a premium over then current market prices.

Under United States law, majority and controlling shareholders generally have certain “fiduciary” responsibilities to the minority shareholders. Shareholder action must be taken in good faith and actions by controlling shareholders which are obviously unreasonable may be declared null and void. The BVI law protecting the interests of the minority shareholders is not as protective in all circumstances as the law protecting minority shareholders in United States jurisdictions. While BVI law does not permit a shareholder of a BVI company to sue its directors derivatively, i.e., in the name of and for the benefit of the Company, and to sue the Company and its directors for his benefit and the benefit of others similarly situated, the circumstances in which any such action may be brought that may be available in respect of any such action may result in the rights of shareholders of a British Virgin Island company being more limited than those rights of shareholders in a United States company.

The Board of Directors of the Company, without further shareholder action, may issue shares of Preferred Stock in any number of series and may establish as to each such series the designation and number of shares to be issued and the relative rights and preferences of the shares of each series, including provisions regarding voting powers, redemption, dividend rights, rights upon liquidation and conversion rights. The issuance of shares of Preferred Stock by the Board of Directors could adversely affect the rights of holders of Ordinary Shares by, among other matters, establishing preferential dividends, liquidation rights and voting power. The Company has not issued any shares of Preferred Stock and has no present intention to issue shares of Preferred Stock. The issuance thereof could discourage or defeat efforts to acquire control of the Company through acquisition of Ordinary Shares.

ITEM 10B.

MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

Companies that were automatically re-registered on January 1, 2007 were not required to submit a new Memorandum and Articles of Association and certain key sections of the IBC Act were “grandfathered” into the BC Act: these are known as the “Transitional Provisions”. The Transitional Provisions ensure that well established and recognized concepts from the IBC Act, such as “ authorized capital:, “capital accounts” and “surplus accounts , remain relevant until such time as that company elects to adopt and register a New Memorandum and Articles of Association that fully conform with the BC Act. In November 2011 and January 2012, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association with the Registry of Corporate Affairs of the BVI Financial Services Commission that on November 29, 2011 and January 30, 2012 that became as of filing with the BVI authorities to, among other things, (i) not apply the Transitional Provisions and (ii)remove these concepts from the Company’s charter documents eliminating a layer of requirements that would otherwise apply to share divisions (splits), combinations (reverse splits), redemptions and dividends.

Changes in the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum are summarized in the Company’s Forms 6-K filed with the SEC on November 30, 2011 and February 6,2012.The foregoing Forms 6-K are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully stated herein.

PRC statutory reserves.

Under the relevant PRC laws and regulations, the PRC subsidiaries are required to appropriate certain percentage of their respective net income to two statutory funds i.e. the statutory reserve fund and the statutory staff welfare fund. The PRC subsidiaries can also appropriate certain amount of their net income to the enterprise expansion fund.

(i) Statutory reserve fund

Pursuant to applicable PRC laws and regulations, the PRC subsidiaries are required to allocate at least 10% of the companies’ net income to the statutory reserve fund until such fund reaches 50% of their respective registered capital. The statutory reserve fund can be utilized upon the approval by the relevant authorities, to offset accumulated losses or to increase registered capital of the companies, provided that such fund be maintained at a minimum of 25% of the companies’ registered capital.

Under the PRC laws and regulations, the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are restricted in their ability to transfer certain of their net assets to the Company in the form of dividend payments, loans or advances. The amounts restricted include paid-in capital and statutory reserves, as determined pursuant to PRC generally accepted accounting principles, totaling US$3,357,000 as at December 31, 2013.

(ii) Statutory staff welfare fund

Pursuant to applicable PRC laws and regulations, the PRC subsidiaries are required to allocate certain amount of their respective net income to the staff welfare funds determined by the Company. The staff welfare funds can only be used to provide staff welfare facilities and other collective benefits to their employees. This fund is non-distributable other than upon liquidation of the PRC subsidiaries.

(iii) Enterprise expansion fund

The expansion fund shall only be used to make up losses, expand the PRC respective subsidiaries’ production operations, or increase the capital of the subsidiaries. The expansion fund can be utilized upon approval by relevant authorities, to convert into registered capital and issue bonus capital to existing investors, provided that such fund be maintained at a minimum of 25% of the companies’ registered capital.

UNITED STATES

The following discussion is a summary of the material United States federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, ownership, disposition or sale of our ordinary shares.

This discussion is general in nature and does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation which may be important to particular investors in light of their individual circumstances, including investors subject to special U.S. taxation rules.

A U.S. Holder holding or considering acquiring or disposing of our ordinary shares is urged to consult his or her own tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax consequences of the holding, ownership, purchase, disposition or sale of our ordinary shares in light of such U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances.

A “U.S. Holder” for purposes of this discussion is a beneficial owner of ordinary shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (a) a citizen or resident of the United States; (b) a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia; (c) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation, regardless of its source; or (d) a trust if it is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. If a partnership holds our ordinary shares, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partner of a partnership holding our ordinary shares is urged to consult its own tax advisor regarding an investment in our ordinary shares.

Passive foreign investment company rules. A passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for any taxable year in which either (a) at least 75% of our gross income is passive income or (b) at least 50% of the value (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) of our assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than rents and royalties derived in the active conduct of a trade or business and not derived from a related person), annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income.

The annual PFIC determination to be made by a U.S. Holder of our ordinary shares is an inherently factual determination and there is limited guidance regarding the application of the PFIC rules to specific situations. Although the determination of PFIC status is subject to factual uncertainties because it depends upon the valuation of our ordinary shares as well as our goodwill and other assets and income. In addition, as the determination of PFIC status is made on an annual basis and depends on variables over which we have limited control, there can be no assurance that we will not be classified as a PFIC for 2012 or any future calendar years.

If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year, a U. S. Holder could be treated as owning a proportionate share of some of our subsidiaries and, in the absence of certain elections, will subject to special rules that will have a penalizing effect on certain “excess distributions” (as defined).

A U. S Holder that holds our Ordinary Shares in any year in which we are classified as a PFIC may make a “deemed sale” election with respect to such ordinary shares in a subsequent taxable year in which we are not classified as a PFIC. If you make a valid deemed sale election with respect to your Ordinary Shares, you will be treated as having sold all of your Ordinary Shares for their fair market value on the last day of the last taxable year in which we were a PFIC and such Ordinary Shares will no longer be treated as PFIC stock. You will recognize gain (but not loss), which will be subject to tax as an “excess distribution” received on the last day of the last taxable year in which we were a PFIC. Your basis in the Ordinary Shares would be increased to reflect gain recognized, and your holding period would begin on the day after we ceased to be a PFIC.

Also, a U. S. Holder may be required to file certain forms with the U.S. Treasury Department.

A U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale or other disposition of our Ordinary Shares in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in such ordinary shares. Any capital gain or loss will be long-term if the Ordinary Shares have been held for more than one year and will generally be United States source gain or loss for United States foreign tax credit purposes.

Certain U.S. Holders are required to report information to the Internal Revenue Service relating to an interest in “specified foreign financial assets,” including shares issued by a non-United States corporation, for any year in which the aggregate value of all specified foreign financial assets exceeds $50,000 (or a higher dollar amount prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service), subject to certain exceptions. These rules also impose penalties if a holder is required to submit such information to the Internal Revenue Service and fails to do so.

ITEM 10I.

SUBSIDIARY INFORMATION

For information on the Company’s subsidiaries see Item 4C. The separate financial statements of Blue Sky, as required under Regulation S-X 210.3-09, an entity in which the Company owns a 20% equity interest are attached hereto.

ITEM 11.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s primary risk exposures arise from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchanges rates. Foreign Currency Risks

The Company is exposed to risk from changing foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s sales are denominated either in HK dollar or RMB. The majority of the Company’s expenses and cost of revenue are denominated in HK dollars, followed by RMB, US dollars, Japanese yen and the Euro. The Company is subject to a variety of risks associated with changes among the relative value of the US dollar, HK dollar, RMB, Japanese yen and the Euro. The Company does not currently adequately hedge its foreign exchange positions. Any material increase in the value of the HK dollar, RMB, Japanese yen and the Euro relative to the US dollar would increase the Company’s expenses and cost of revenue and therefore would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Inflation

The Company cannot accurately determine the precise effect of inflation on its operations, it does not believe inflation has had a material effect on sales or results of operations during the past several years. Efforts by the PRC to curb inflation may also curb economic growth, increase our overhead costs and adversely affect our sales. If the PRC rate of inflation continues to increase, the Chinese government may introduce further measures intended to reduce the inflation rate in the PRC. Any such measures adopted by the Chinese government may not be successful in reducing or slowing the increase in the PRC’s inflation rate. Sustained or increased inflation in the PRC may have an adverse impact on the PRC’s economy and may materially and adversely affect our business and financial results.

The Company is currently not exposed to material future earnings or cash flow exposures from changes in interest rates on debt obligations as the Company had no bank indebtedness in Fiscal 2013. The Company does not currently anticipate entering into interest rate swaps and/or similar instruments.

PART II

ITEM 14.

MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITYHOLDERS

In November 2011 and February 2012 the Company restated its Memorandum and Articles of Association. In January of 2012, the Company combined or reverse split each eleven of its outstanding Ordinary Shares into two shares of its Ordinary Shares. The reason for the foregoing was to comply with NASDAQ Listing Rules.

To facilitate the combination, Company changed the par value of its Ordinary Shares from US$ 0.01 per share to no par value.

Company had been originally incorporated under the International Business Companies Act (the “IBC” Act). On January 1, 2005 the BVI Business Companies Act, (as amended, the “BC Act”) came into force, with the objective of replacing the IBC Act over a 2 year transitional period.

On January 1, 2007, the Company was automatically re-registered under the BC Act as a BVI Business Company. Companies that were so automatically re-registered were not required to submit new Memorandum and Articles of Association and certain key sections of the IBC Act were “grandfathered” into the BC Act. See Item 10B. Memorandum and Articles of Association. In December 2011 and January 2012, the Company filed Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association with the Registry of Corporate Affairs of the BVI Financial Services Commission to, among other things, (i) not apply the Transitional Provisions and (ii) remove these concepts from the Company's charter documents eliminating a layer of requirements that would otherwise apply to share divisions (splits), combinations (reverse splits), redemptions and dividends. The Company's accounting treatment of share capital need not change. Changes in the Company's Amended and Restated Memorandum are summarized in the Company's Forms 6-K filed with the SEC on November 30, 2011 and February 6, 2012.The foregoing Forms 6-K are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully stated herein. This description and the descriptions contained in the Forms 6-K incorporated by reference do not purport to be complete and are qualified in the entirety by reference to BVI statutory law and the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.

ITEM 15.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)	Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d -15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 20-F.

Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Directors and Stockholders of

Euro Tech Holdings Company Limited

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Euro Tech Holdings Company Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss)/income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2 Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Euro Tech Holdings Company Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Group”). The financial statements of variable interest entities (“VIEs”), as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation, are included in the consolidated financial statements, if applicable. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

The Group identified that certain retail shops established in the PRC qualified as variable interest entities as defined in ASC 810-10. The retail shops are principally engaged in the retailing business of water and waste water related process control, analytical and testing instruments, disinfection equipment, supplies and related automation systems. The Company is the primary beneficiary of these retail shops and, accordingly, consolidated their financial statements. The Company has a controlling financial interest in these retail shops and is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the retailing activities, and is entitled to receive a majority of the retail shops’ residual returns. Total assets and liabilities of these consolidated VIEs total US$5,182 and US$4,744, as of December 31, 2013 and US$14,204 and US$3,581, as of December 31, 2012, respectively. The cumulative losses on consolidating these VIEs in the Group’s consolidated statement of income in 2013 were US$302,893 (2012: losses of US$275,232 and 2010: 2011: losses of US$244,024), including taxes of US$1,018 (2012: US$1,262 and 2011: US$2,222). The assets of the entities consist mainly of cash and bank balances, trade and other receivables, inventories and property, plant and equipment. The creditors of these VIEs do not have a recourse to the general credit of the Group. The Group will provide for all necessary financing for the VIEs.

(b) Subsidiaries and affiliates

A subsidiary is a company in which the Company, directly or indirectly, controls more than one half of the voting power; has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors; to cast a majority of votes at the meeting of the board of directors or to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee under a statute or agreement among the shareholders or equity holders

Investments in business entities in which the Company does not have control, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies (generally 20-50 percent ownership), are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

(g) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits with banks.

(h) Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents cash deposits retained with banks in the PRC for issuance of performance guarantees to the customers. The amount is expected to be released within one year after the balance sheet date.

(i) Receivables and Other Assets

Receivables and other assets are recorded at their nominal values. Doubtful debt allowances are provided for identified individual risks for these line items. If the loss of a certain part of the receivables is probable, doubtful debt allowances are provided to cover the expected loss. Receivables are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

(j) Inventories

(k) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Gains or losses on disposal are reflected in current operations. Major expenditures for betterments and renewals are capitalised. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives as follows:

Office premises	47 to 51 years
Leasehold improvements	over terms of the leases or the useful lives whichever is less
Furniture, fixtures and office equipment	3 to 5 years
Motor vehicles	4 years
Testing equipment	3 years

2	Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

(l) Impairment

The Group has adopted FASB ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment, which requires impairment losses to be recorded for property, plant and equipment to be held and used in operations when indicators of impairment are present. Reviews are regularly performed to determine whether the carrying value of assets is impaired. The Group determines the existence of such impairment by measuring the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) and comparing such amount to the carrying amount of the assets. An impairment loss, if one exists, is then measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the discounted estimated future cash flows. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value of such assets less costs to sell. Asset impairment charges are recorded to reduce the carrying amount of the long-lived asset that will be sold or disposed of to their estimated fair values. Charges for the asset impairment reduce the carrying amount of the long-lived assets to their estimated salvage value in connection with the decision to dispose of such assets. There were no impairment losses recorded during each of the three years ended December 31, 2013.

(m) Operating Leases

Leases where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the leased assets remain with the lessors are accounted for as operating leases. Rental payments under operating leases are charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period of the relevant leases.

(n) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price in a business combination over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Under ASC 350, goodwill is not amortized, but rather is subject to an annual impairment test. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value. The Company performs its annual impairment analysis of goodwill in the fourth quarter of the year, or more often if there are indicators of impairment present.

The provisions of ASC 350 require that a two-step impairment test be performed on goodwill at the level of the reporting units. In the first step, or Step 1, the Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value of the net assets, goodwill is considered not impaired, and the Company is not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets exceeds the fair value, then the Company must perform the second step, or Step 2, of the impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of goodwill. To determine the fair value used in Step 1, the Company uses discounted cash flows. If and when the Company is required to perform a Step 2 analysis, determining the fair value of its net assets and its off-balance sheet intangibles would require it to make judgments that involve the use of significant estimates and assumptions.

2	Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

(o) Foreign Currency Translation

The Company maintains its books and records in United States dollars. Its subsidiaries and affiliates maintain their books and records either in Hong Kong dollars or Chinese Renminbi (“functional currencies”). Foreign currency transactions during the year are translated into the respective functional currencies at the applicable rates of exchange at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies using the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet dates. Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are recognised in the consolidated statements of income during the year in which they occur. Translation adjustments on subsidiaries’ equity are included as accumulated comprehensive income or loss.

(p) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

ASC 815, "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815"), as amended, requires the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income (loss). If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings. The Company uses derivatives to hedge certain cash flow foreign currency exposures in order to further reduce the Company's exposure to foreign currency risks.

The Company measured the fair value of the contracts in accordance with ASC No. 820, "Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure" ("ASC 820") at Level 2. Level 2- includes other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace. As of December 31, 2013 the Group does not have any open contracts.

(q) Comprehensive Income

The Group has adopted FASB ASC Subtopic 220-10, Comprehensive Income, which requires the Group to report all changes in equity during a period, except for those resulting from investment by owners and distribution to owners, in the financial statements for the period in which they are recognised. The Group has presented comprehensive income, which encompasses net income and foreign currency translation adjustments, in the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity.

(r) Ordinary Share

On November 22, 2011, the Company filed Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association with the Registry of Corporate Affairs of the BVI Financial Services Commission that on November 29, 2011 became effective as of the filing date to amend the Company’s ordinary shares of US$0.01 par value capital stock to no par value capital stock. Treasury stock is accounted for using the cost method. When treasury stock is reissued, the value is computed and recorded using a weighted-average basis.

EURO TECH HOLDINGS COMPANY LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2	Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)

(s) Net income per Ordinary Share

Net income per ordinary share is computed in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share, by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of shares of ordinary share outstanding during the period. The Company reports both basic earnings per share, which is based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, and diluted earnings per share, which is based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding and all dilutive potential ordinary shares outstanding.

Outstanding stock options are the only dilutive potential shares of the Company.

(t) Stock-based Compensation

The Group accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation-Stock Compensation" ("ASC 718"). ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.

The Group recognizes compensation expenses for the value of its awards, based on the straight line method over the requisite service period of each of the awards, net of estimated forfeitures. ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

(u) Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from the estimates.

(v) Related Parties

Related parties are affiliates of the enterprise; entities for which investments are accounted for by the equity method by the enterprise; trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; principal owners of the enterprise; its management; members of the immediate families of principal owners of the enterprise and its management; and other parties with which the enterprise may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. Another party also is a related party if it can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there was no unrecognised stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options.

The Group adopted the provisions of ASC 718-10, which requires us to recognise expense related to the fair value of our stock-based compensation awards, including employee stock options.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of the options granted. This requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility of stock price, expected option term, expected risk-free rate over the expected option term and expected dividend yield rate over the expected option term. Because changes in subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in directors’ opinion, the existing model may not necessarily provide a realisable measure of the fair value of the stock options. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility in the 180 days prior to the issue of the options. Expected option term and dividend yield rate are based on historical trends. Expected risk-free rate is based on US Treasury securities with similar maturities as the expected terms of the options at the date of grant.

17 Pension plan

Prior to December 1, 2000, the Group had only one defined contribution pension plan for all its Hong Kong employees. Under this plan, all employees were entitled to pension benefits equal to their own contributions plus 50% to 100% of individual fund account balances contributed by the Group, depending on their years of service with the Group. The Group was required to make specific contributions at approximately 10% of the basic salaries of the employees to an independent fund management company.

With the introduction of the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme, a defined contribution scheme managed by an independent trustee on December 1, 2000, the Group and its employees who joined the Group subsequently make monthly contributions to the scheme at 5% of the employee’s cash income as defined under the Mandatory Provident Fund legislation. Contributions of both the Group and its employees are subject to a maximum of HK$1,000 per month and thereafter contributions are voluntary and are not subject to any limitation. The Group and its employees made their first contributions in December 2000.

As stipulated by the rules and regulations in the PRC, the Group contributes to state-sponsored retirement plans for its employees in Mainland China. The Group contributions range from 12% to 22% of the basic salaries of its employees, and has no further obligations for the actual payment of pension or post-retirement benefits beyond the annual contributions. The state-sponsored retirement plans are responsible for the entire pension obligations payable to retired employees.

During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the aggregate contributions of the Group to the aforementioned pension plans and retirement benefit schemes were approximately US$353,000, US$364,000 and US$455,000 respectively.

18 Risk factor and Derivative Instruments

Financial risk factors

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: foreign exchange rate risk and credit risk.

(i)	Credit risk

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk. The Group has policies in place to ensure that sales of products are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. The Group has policies that limit the amount of credit exposure to any customers. Derivative counterparties and cash transactions are limited to high credit quality banks.

18 Risk factor and Derivative Instruments (Continued)

Financial risk factors (continued)

(ii)	Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates in Hong Kong, the PRC and trades with both local and overseas customers, and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to purchases in, Hong Kong dollar, Renminbi and Euro. Foreign exchange risk arises from committed and unmatched future commercial transactions, such as confirmed import purchase orders and sales orders, recognised assets and liabilities, and net investment in the PRC operations. The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain foreign currency exposures.

The Group’s prevailing risk management policy is to hedge the net committed transactions (mainly sales and import purchases) in each major currency.

The Company’s policy generally permits the use of derivatives if they are associated with underlying assets or liabilities, forecasted transactions, or legally binding rights or obligations. There were no such derivatives during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

19 Related party transactions

Other than compensation to directors and stock options available to the directors, there were no transactions with other related parties in the years 2013, 2012 and 2011.

20 Commitments and contingencies

(i) Operating leases

The Group has various operating lease agreements for office and industrial premises. Rental expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were approximately US$277,000, US$291,000 and US$356,000, respectively. Future minimum rental payments as of December 31, 2013, under agreements classified as operating leases with non-cancellable terms amounted to US$266,000 of which US$242,000 are payable in the year 2014 and US$24,000 are payable within years 2015 to 2019.

(ii) Banking facilities

As at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Group had various banking facilities available for overdraft, import and export credits and foreign exchange contracts from which the Group can draw up to approximately US$1,538,000, US$1,538,000 and US$1,154,000 respectively, of which approximately US$690,000, US$302,000 and US$474,000 was utilised for issuance of bank guarantees.

(iii) Non-controlling interest put option

The Group granted the non-controlling interest of Yixing Pact Environmental Technology Co., Ltd and Pact Asia Pacific Limited a put option, which is effective from 2009, requiring the Group to acquire part or all remaining shares of these two companies at a purchase price per share calculated by 5.2 times of their average net income for the three prior fiscal years divided by total number of shares outstanding at the time of exercise of such option.

(iv) Litigation

Statements of claim were issued by Yu-Cheng Ling and Xue-Mei Huang (“Plaintiff A”), and Nian-Chong Luo and Li-Shan Cen (“Plaintiff B”) as the plaintiffs against Shanghai Euro Tech Environmental Engineering Company Limited (“SETEE”) as one of the ten defendants (“Defendants”) in civil claims at the People’s Court of TianDong Province, Guangxi, PRC.

Plaintiff A and Plaintiff B claimed against Defendants for total compensations of approximately US$64,000 and US$95,000, respectively, for their sons died in a serious fatal traffic accident in September 2010 on the ground that one of the drivers of the accident, (employee of SETEE’s sub-contractor) was performing SETEE’s jobs during the traffic accident and therefore SETEE is liable to assume joint and several liability. The case was heard in court on April 28, 2011. The Tian Dong People’s Court issued a verdict dated September 11, 2011 finding, among other things, that the Company was not liable. One of the Plaintiffs has appealed that verdict to the Baise Intermediate People’s Court, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, PRC in November 20, 2011. After the hearing on April 23, 2012, the appellate court issued a verdict dated May 10, 2012 finding, among other things, that the Company was not liable to joint and several liability with the driver, but to bear 30% of the liability of the civil engineer sub-contractor for the amount of US$52,000. Management considers not to appeal as the chance of success is remote.

21 Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying values of financial instruments, which consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable, bills receivable, bills payable, other payables and balances with related companies approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

(b) Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is a company in which the Company holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of its outstanding voting share capital and over which it is able to exercise control.

The Group’s main source of revenue is the construction and installation services of environmental protection equipment for flue gas desulphurization, dust removal and flue gas denitration. Revenues are recorded under the percentage of completion method in accordance with FASB ASC Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition — Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. This approach primarily based on contract costs incurred to date compared with total estimated contract costs. Changes to total estimated contract costs or losses, if any, are recognised in the period they are determined. Revenues recognised in excess of amounts billed are classified as costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts. Essentially all of such amounts are expected to be billed and collected within one year and are classified as current assets. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts are classified as current liabilities. When reasonably dependable estimates cannot be made, construction contract revenues are recognised using the completed contract method.

(d) Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs (“R&D” costs) are expensed as incurred. The R&D costs amounted to approximately RMB15,018,000, RMB14,890,000 and RMB11,560,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 respectively and were included in “Selling and Administrative” expenses in the Group’s consolidated statements of income.

(e) Advertising and promotional expenses

Advertising and promotional expenses (“A&P” expenses) are expensed as incurred. The A&P expenses amounted to approximately RMB25,000, RMB26,000 and RMB128,000 for the years December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 respectively and were included in “Selling and Administrative” expenses in the Group’s consolidated statements of income.

(j) Property, Plant and Equipment and Land Use Right

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Gains or losses on disposal are reflected in current operations.

The government in the PRC, according to PRC Law, may sell the right to use the land for a specific period for time. Thus, all of the Company’s land purchases in the PRC are considered to be leasehold land and classified as land use right.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of land use right are computed using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives as follows:

	Land use right	Over terms of the leases
	Office premises	47-50 years, with 5% residual value
	Leasehold improvements	over terms of the leases or the useful lives whichever is less, with 5% residual value
	Plant and machineries	5 to 10 years, with 5% residual value
	Furniture, fixtures and office equipment	3 to 5 years, with 5% residual value
	Motor vehicles	1 to 8 years, with 5% residual value

(k) Intangible Assets

The Company amortizes its intangible assets with definite lives over their estimated useful lives and reviews these assets for impairment. The Company is currently amortizing its acquired intangible assets with definite lives over periods generally ranging between five to twenty years.

(l) Impairment

(m) Government grant income

Government grant income consisted of receipt of funds to subsidize the investment cost of information technology system development and market development in China. No present or future obligation arises from the receipt of such amount.
