Bonso Electronics International Inc. designs, develops, produces and sells electronic sensor-based and wireless products for private label original equipment manufacturers (individually “OEM” or, collectively, “OEMs”), original brand manufacturers (individually “OBM” or, collectively, “OBMs”) and original design manufacturers (individually, “ODM” or, collectively, “ODMs”).
Since 1989, we have manufactured all of our products in China in order to take advantage of the lower overhead costs and competitive labor rates. From 1989 until 2013, all of our production took place in our Shenzhen factory; however, we began production in our Xinxing factory. We moved all production processes from our Shenzhen factory to the Xinxing factory, and we rented out the old Shenzhen factory to a third party as a source of rental income.

Our primary business has been the design, development, production and sale of electronic sensor-based and wireless products. Effective with the transfer of manufacturing operations to our new factory in Xinxing we leased our factory in Shenzhen to a third party. This lease marks our entry into the “property” business. The lease with the third party terminates in August 2019. We intend to begin the process of seeking the necessary governmental approvals to permit us to redevelop the Shenzhen factory into a high end commercial complex, containing retail space, office space and some residential space. If we are successful in obtaining the necessary governmental approvals for the redevelopment, we believe that the rental income derived from leasing the redeveloped property will be a significant contributing factor to our profit in the future.
