CERTAIN INFORMATION

“Acquisition” refers to the business combination transaction consummated on March 12, 2010, as provided by the Share Exchange Agreement, dated as of
February 12, 2010, by and among the Company, Honesty Group and each of the shareholders signatories thereto, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Share
Exchange Agreement, dated March 11, 2010.

“Honesty  Group”  refers  to  Honesty  Group  Holdings  Limited,  a  subsidiary  of  the  Company,  acquired  in  the  Acquisition,  and  the  entity  through  which  the
Subsidiaries and operating business are held after the consummation of the Acquisition.

“SGOCO”,  “we,”  “us,”  “our,”  or  the  “Company”  refers  to  SGOCO  Technology,  Ltd.,  formally  known  as  Hambrecht  Asia  Acquisition  Corp.,  a  company
organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and its consolidated subsidiaries: Honesty Group and its Subsidiaries.

“Subsidiaries”  refers  to  Honesty  Group’s  subsidiaries:  Guanke  (Fujian)  Electron  Technological  Industry  Co.  Ltd.  (“Guanke””),  Guanwei  (Fujian)  Electron
Technological Company Limited (“Guanwei”), and Guancheng (Fujian) Electron Technological Company Limited (“Guancheng”).

In  March  2010,    Hambrecht  Asia  Acquisition  Corp.  completed  the  Acquisition  and  acquired  all  of  the  issued  and  outstanding  capital  stock  of  Honesty
Group.  Before such Acquisition in March 2010, Hambrecht Asia Acquisition Corp. was a blank check company with no operations and had been formed as a
vehicle for an acquisition of an operating business in China.  On March 11, 2010, the Company’s shareholders approved a change in the Company’s name to
SGOCO Technology, Ltd.  The name change was effective on March 16, 2010, upon completion of certain filings in the Cayman Islands.

On  March  12,  2010,  we  determined  to  change  our  fiscal  year  end  from  June  30  to  December  31  to  coincide  with  the  year  end  of  Honesty  Group  and
Subsidiaries.    We  are  filing  this  Report  to  reflect  our  operating  and  financial  conditions  covering  a  transition  period  from  July  1,  2009  to  December  31,

accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

PART I

The following discussion for the transition period ended December 31, 2009 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company and
the notes thereto incorporated by reference in this Report.

Overview

Hambrecht Asia Acquisition Corp. was incorporated on July 18, 2007 in the Cayman Islands as a blank check company for the purpose of acquiring one or
more businesses through a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition or similar business combination or control through contractual arrangements having its
primary operations in the People’s Republic of China.

All of our business activities from inception to March 12, 2010, were related to the Company’s formation, consummation of the initial public offering,
identification and evaluation of target company opportunities, signing the Share Exchange Agreement with Honesty Group and completion of the Acquisition.

On July 31, 2009, Hambrecht Asia Acquisition Corp. entered into a Letter of Intent with Honesty Group and Honesty Group’s majority shareholder.  On
February 12, 2010, Hambrecht Asia Acquisition Corp. entered into a Share Exchange Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
Honesty Group.   On March 12, 2010, Hambrecht Asia Acquisition Corp. completed the Acquisition transaction with Honesty Group.  After shareholders
approved, Hambrecht Asia Acquisition Corp changed its name to SGOCO Technology, Ltd.

We have determined to change the fiscal year end of the Company from June 30 to December 31 to match the fiscal year ends of our operating
subsidiaries.  This Transition Report on Form 20-F is intended to implement that change of year end.
