The manufacturing company’s expenses increased by about 43% in 3Q11, and SGX demands an explanation.

According to a release, Hengxin Technology refers to the following query on 15 November 2011 from SGX-ST regarding announcement of the unaudited results for the third quarter and nine months ended 30 September 2011:

Query 1

We note that research and development expenses have increased by about 43% and 27% in the third quarter of 2011 and the nine months ended 30 September 2011 respectively. Please provide the nature of these expenses.

Response:
Higher R&D expenses were incurred on the research and development of our existing products in preparation for the shift in mobile communication network to the fourth generation (4G), as well as on improvement of the technical specifications of our products as required by our customers. With changes in technology and different customers using different equipment, the Company has engaged in more research and development
activities to keep abreast with the technological changes in order to meet with its customers’ requirements, both locally and overseas as the Company ventures into different markets.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
