2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“IFRSs”) - CONTINUED

IFRS 9 Financial instruments

IFRS 9 issued in 2009 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. IFRS 9 amended in 2010 includes the requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and for derecognition.

Key requirements of IFRS 9 are described as follows:

  • IFRS 9 requires all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to be subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent reporting periods. In addition, under IFRS 9, entities may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognised in profit or loss.

  • The most significant effect of IFRS 9 regarding the classification and measurement of financial liabilities relates to the presentation of changes in the fair value of a financial liability (designated as at fair value through profit or loss) attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability. Specifically, under IFRS 9, for financial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss, the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability’s credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Previously, under HKAS 39, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the financial liability designated as at fair value through profit or loss was presented in profit or loss.

The Directors anticipate that the adoption of IFRS 9 in the future may have significant impact on amounts reported in respect of the Group’s financial assets. Regarding the Group’s financial assets, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of that effect until a detailed review has been completed.

New and revised Standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures

In June 2011, a package of five standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures was issued, including IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IFRS 12, IAS 27 (as revised in 2011) and IAS 28 (as revised in 2011).

Key requirements of these five standards are described below.

IFRS 10 replaces the parts of IAS 27 “Consolidated and separate financial statements” that deal with consolidated financial statements and SIC 12 “Consolidation - Special purpose entities”. IFRS 10 includes a new definition of control that contains three elements: (a) power over an investee, (b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and (c) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. Extensive guidance has been added in IFRS 10 to deal with complex scenarios.

IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 “Interests in joint ventures” and SIC 13 “Jointly controlled entities - Non-monetary contributions by venturers”. IFRS 11 deals with how a joint arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control should be classified. Under IFRS 11, joint arrangements are classified as joint operations or joint ventures, depending on the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangements. In contrast, under IAS 31, there are three types of joint arrangements: jointly controlled entities, jointly controlled assets and jointly controlled operations.

2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“IFRSs”) - CONTINUED

In addition, joint ventures under IFRS 11 are required to be accounted for using the equity method of accounting, whereas jointly controlled entities under IAS 31 can be accounted for using the equity method of accounting or proportionate accounting.

IFRS 12 is a disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the disclosure requirements in IFRS 12 are more extensive than those in the current standards.

These five standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January, 2013. Earlier application is permitted provided that all of these five standards are applied early at the same time.

The Directors anticipate that these five standards will be adopted in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning 1st January, 2013. The application of these five standards may have significant impact on amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. The application of IFRS 10 may result in the Group no longer consolidating some of its investees, and consolidating investees that were not previously consolidated (e.g. the Group’s investment in associates may become the Group’s subsidiaries based on the new definition of control and the related guidance in IFRS 10). The Directors are currently assessing the impact on the adoption of these standards and is yet to quantify the impact.

IFRS 13 Fair value measurement

IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The scope of IFRS 13 is broad; it applies to both financial instrument items and non-financial instrument items for which other IFRSs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except in specified circumstances. In general, the disclosure requirements in IFRS 13 are more extensive than those in the current standards. For example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only under IFRS 7 “Financial instruments: Disclosures” will be extended by IFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.

IFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January, 2013, with earlier application permitted.

The Directors anticipate that IFRS 13 will be adopted in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning 1st January, 2013 and that the application of the new standard will result in more extensive disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of items of other comprehensive income

The amendments to IAS 1 retain the option to present profit or loss and other comprehensive income in either a single statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. However, the amendments to IAS 1 require additional disclosures to be made in the other comprehensive income section such that items of other comprehensive income are grouped into two categories: (a) items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (b) items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is required to be allocated on the same basis.

The amendments to IAS 1 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st July, 2012. The presentation of items of other comprehensive income will be modified accordingly when the amendments are applied in the annual period beginning 1st January, 2012.

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating and reportable segments are identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance. The chief operating decision maker of the Group has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).

Information reported to the CEO for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of performances focuses specifically on the type of products sold. The Group’s operating and reportable segments under IFRS 8 are dynamic components (mainly including receivers and polyphonic speakers normally sold together in sets), microphones, headsets and other products (mainly including transducers and vibrators), which represent the major types of products manufactured and sold by the Group.

Information regarding these segments is presented below.

An analysis of the Group’s revenue and results by operating and reportable segments is as follows:

Segment profit represents the profit earned by each segment without allocation of finance costs, interest income, administration expenses, research and development costs, distribution and selling expenses, other income, net fair value loss on foreign currency forward contracts, exchange loss and the share of results of associates. This is the measure reported to the CEO for the purpose of resource allocation and performance assessment.

Over 90% of the Group’s non-current assets other than financial instruments were located in the PRC, the place of domicile of the relevant group entities that hold those assets.

The Group’s revenue from external customers analysed by location of customers are detailed below:

  • Greater China comprises the PRC, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Majority of the revenue from Greater China were derived from the PRC.

The geographical information of the Group’s revenue from external customer by individual countries in Europe and America is not available. In the opinion of management, such disclosure is harmful to the Group’s business.

During the year, the aggregate amount of revenue derived from the Group’s top customers which individually has contributed to over 10% of the Group’s revenue, amounted to RMB2,224,268,000 (2010: RMB2,091,906,000). These revenue were derived from two (2010: three) customers and included in all of the Group’s segments. No disclosure of the total amount of revenue by each customer is disclosed, as in the opinion of the Directors such disclosure is harmful to the Group’s business.

In the current year, the Group has acquired 4.6% equity interest in an unlisted company which was incorporated in Korea. The Company is engaged in research and development of integrated circuits.

  • In October 2011, Heptagon Oy completed a change of domicile from Finland to Singapore by establishing Heptagon Advanced Micro-Optics Pte. Ltd.. As a result, the entity of the Group’s investment in this associate company changed from Heptagon Oy to Heptagon Advanced Micro-Optics Pte. Ltd..

  • ** Kaleido became a subsidiary of the Group upon the step acquisition during the year, see note 16.

  • *** During the year, the Group acquired MemsTech for a total consideration of RMB38.3 million. According to the shareholder’s agreement, the Group has the right to appoint 2 out of 4 directors. The chairman, who has casting vote, is appointed by the other shareholder. Thus, the Group only has significant influence on MemsTech, and investment was accounted for as an associate as at 31st December, 2011.

Included in the cost of investment in associates is goodwill of RMB41.7 million (2010: RMB31.1 million) arising on acquisitions of associates.

During the year, the management assessed the associates for impairment with reference to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount was determined based on the value in use calculations using the cashflow projections based on financial budget for the next 3 to 5 years approved by management. Cash flows beyond the budgeted period have extrapolated using a rate of 2%. Discount rates of 16% to 19.4% were used, which were determined based on the weighted average cost of capital of the investees. Based on the estimated recoverable amount, no impairment loss was considered necessary.

16. ACQUISITION OF A BUSINESS

Acquisition in 2011

The Group held 31.95% equity interest in an associate, Kaleido, as at 31st December, 2010. Pursuant to an agreement entered between the Company and other shareholders of Kaleido, the Company acquired a further 38.95% equity interest in Kaleido for a consideration of RMB43,839,000. The transaction was completed on 31st March, 2011 and Kaleido is treated as a subsidiary of the Company from that date.

Kaleido is a private company incorporated in Denmark and engaged in wafer-level glass molding. The goodwill of RMB8,705,000 arising from the acquisition is attributable to the future economic benefits that are expected to accrue to the Group from operating synergies and revenue growth.

The following table summarises the consideration paid for Kaleido and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognised at the acquisition date.

The assets acquired and liabilities recognised

The non-controlling interest in Kaleido recognised at acquisition date was determined with reference to the proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets at the acquisition date.

None of the goodwill arising on this acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The intangible assets represent technical know-how in relation to wafer-level glass molding which is used to enhance the Group’s current products. The fair value is estimated by an independent and professionally qualified valuer and calculated using relief from royalty method based on the cash flow projection, royalty rate and discount rate adopted by the management.

16. ACQUISITION OF A BUSINESS - CONTINUED

Acquisition in 2011 - continued

The trade and other receivables acquired amounting to RMB15,479,000 represents the fair value and the gross contractual amount. The best estimate at the date of acquisition is that all receivables will be collected.

Acquisition-related costs amounting to RMB158,000 have been excluded from the cost of acquisition and have been recognised directly as an expense in the period and included in the administrative expenses.

The fair value of the previously held interest held by the Group was estimated by an independent and professionally qualified valuer. The fair value estimates are calculated using discounted cash flow method based on cash flow projection, growth rate and discount rate adopted by the management. The Group recognised the non-controlling interests at the proportionate share of net assets of Kaleido.

The Group recognised a gain of RMB111,000 as a result of the remeasurement of previously held interest. The gain was included in other income for the period ended 30th June, 2011.

Kaleido contributed a revenue of RMB7,338,000 and a loss of RMB664,000 to the Group since the step acquisition.

Had Kaleido been consolidated from 1st January, 2011, the Group’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income would have shown a revenue of RMB4,061,634,000 and the profit attributable to the equity holders of the Company would not be materially different.

Acquisition in 2010

On 1st October, 2010, the Group acquired a 96.4% equity interest in AAC Technologies Japan R&D Center Co., Ltd. (“AAC Japan”) (Formerly known as I Square Research Co., Ltd.) from independent third parties. Total consideration paid for the acquisition was RMB12,289,000. AAC Japan is engaged in design and manufacture of compact lens modules. The acquisition was made to expand the optical products operation and support the growth strategies of the Group. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method.

Pursuant to the sales and purchase agreement the consideration payable is contingent on the sales volume of AAC Japan for a period of 14 months from the acquisition date. The target sales volume is divided into several stages and the contingent consideration is paid in cash to the sellers at each stage. The contingent consideration was determined with reference to future sales of AAC Japan based on the sales forecast for 14 months. The Directors estimate that the amount of contingent consideration payable will be between RMB9,822,000 and RMB10,278,000.

Acquisition in 2010 - continued

Acquisition-related costs amounting to RMB248,000 have been excluded from the consideration transferred and have been recognised as an expense for the year ended 31st December, 2010 within administrative expenses.

AAC Japan contributed a revenue of RMB674,000 and a loss of RMB2,324,000 for the period from the date of acquisition to 31st December, 2010.

If the acquisition had been completed on 1st January, 2010, based on the unaudited management accounts of the subsidiary, the impact on the Group’s revenue and profit for the year ended 31st December, 2010 would have been insignificant.

Non-controlling interests:

The non-controlling interests in AAC Japan recognised at the acquisition date was determined with reference to the proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets of the acquisition date and amounted to RMB130,000.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OVERVIEW

AAC is one of the world’s foremost vertically integrated manufacturers of miniature technology components. Our Company designs, manufactures and distributes a comprehensive suite of receivers, speakers, speaker modules, multi-function devices, microphones, vibrators, headsets, antennas and ceramic products. In the first half of 2011, the Company changed its name to “AAC Technologies Holdings Inc.” to signify our capabilities in delivering acoustic as well as non-acoustic technology components solutions.

Our components are designed for use in mobile handsets, tablets, game consoles, notebook computers and other consumer electronics devices such as electronic book-readers and MP4 players. Our innovative technology design solutions cover wide ranging applications in different markets such as mobile telecommunications, consumer electronics, home appliances, automobile and medical.

We continue to deploy internal research and development resources on developing and expanding of our intellectual property portfolio. In addition, our management team is committed to identify and evaluate appropriate opportunities in forming alliances, investing or mergers and acquisitions in global companies and technologies that will further broaden and strengthen the Company’s existing technology capabilities.

MARKET REVIEW

The year 2011 started with good momentum carried over from the latter half of 2010. The mobile devices market, driven by growth for smartphones and the launch of new tablets, showed secular growth throughout the year. There have been changes to ownership to the different global brands of the mobile handsets industry and new strategic alliances formed. When different brands executed their strategies, their market positions were reshuffled. We continue to offer quality miniature components designs by working closely with our key and new global customers and addressing their specific design requirements. As a result, the Company has delivered and sustained solid financial performance with revenue and profit growth for 2011.

The Company is focused on developing our in-house intellectual property to extend our technological leadership in miniaturized technology components beyond the acoustic arena. During 2011, we have successfully obtained 233 additional acoustic and non-acoustic patents, bringing our total portfolio to 649 patents. In the same period, we filed another 291 patents, which brings patents pending to a total of 480.

Leveraging on our research capability, design and production know-how, the broadening of our product range to include non-acoustic components, such as haptic vibrator components and ceramic products, will expand our offering of different technology solutions for the mobile devices market.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Our strong performance in this year, generated RMB945.5 million in net cash flow from operations. Revenue of the Group ended 31st December, 2011 amounted to RMB4,059.7 million, an increase of RMB710.7 million, or 21.2%, compared with 2010. Gross profit of RMB1,784.4 million was RMB274.0 million, or 18.1%, higher than 2010. Profit attributable to owners of the Company amounted to RMB1,036.2 million, representing an increase of 5.0% from RMB986.7 million for the corresponding period of 2010.

GEARING RATIO AND INDEBTEDNESS

The gearing ratio of the Group, computed by dividing short-term bank loans by total assets, was 13.3% as at 31st December, 2011 compared with 8.4% as at 31st December, 2010.

As at 31st December, 2011, the Group had RMB891.1 million of short-term bank loans compared with RMB470.3 million as at 31st December, 2010.

LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE

As at 31st December, 2011, the Group had RMB1,374.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. In addition, the Group had restricted short-term bank deposits of RMB0.9 million. Management believes that the Group’s current cash and cash equivalents, together with available credit facilities and expected cash flow from operations, will be sufficient to satisfy the current operational requirements of the Group.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

Given our international operations and presence, the Group faces foreign exchange exposure including transaction and translation exposure.

It is the Group’s policy to centralize foreign exchange management to monitor total foreign currency exposure, to net off affiliate positions and to consolidate hedging transactions with banks. As far as possible, the Group aims to achieve natural hedging by investing and borrowing in the functional currencies. Where a complete hedge is not possible, the Group will protect our anticipated foreign currency revenue with appropriate foreign exchange contracts.

The Group will not enter into derivative transactions for trading or speculative purposes.

During the year 2011, the Company has entered into foreign currency forward contracts to minimise the effect of exchange rate fluctuations between the Euro and the US dollar.

CHARGES ON GROUP ASSETS

Apart from the bank deposits amounts of RMB0.9 million and RMB28.0 million pledged to banks respectively as at 31st December, 2011 and 31st December, 2010, no other Group asset was under charge to any financial institution.

ACQUISITION OF A SUBSIDIARY

In June 2010, the Group acquired a 31.95% equity interest in Kaleido, a private company incorporated in Denmark and engaged in wafer-level glass molding. In accordance with the shareholders’ agreement, the Company made further investment in Kaleido in March 2011 to acquire an additional 38.95% shareholding for a total consideration of DKK35.1 million (RMB43.8 million), thereby increasing our equity interest in Kaleido to 70.9%.

A goodwill of RMB8.7 million was attributed to the anticipated profitability arising from the distribution of the Group’s products in the new markets and the future operating synergies from the combination.

PROSPECTS

With our sizeable global market share in acoustic product segment, we aim to increase existing market share by raising penetration level into new customers and moving up in the technology value-added of the components offered. Our strengths in research and development enable us to timely provide and ramp up new products platforms to serve existing and new customers. We will enhance our competitive edge in delivering vertically-integrated production models for complex customised components’ solutions and from increased efficient use of fully automatic and semi-automatic manufacturing processes.

DIVIDENDS

From time to time, the Company will consider the declaration of dividends based on its financial position, results of operations, debt repayment ability, capital expenditures, earnings and other factors as the Board may deem appropriate. The Board may recommend the amount of dividend to be declared and the declaration and payment of dividends will be determined by the shareholders in general meeting. The Board may also from time to time pay to shareholders such interim dividends to be justified by the profits of the Company.

During the six months ended 31st December, 2011, an interim dividend in respect of the six months ended 30th June, 2011 of HK20.0 cents (2010: HK14.2 cents) per share was paid to shareholders of the Company.

The Board resolved to recommend the payment of a final dividend of HK21.6 cents (2010: HK23.7 cents) per ordinary share in respect of the year ended 31st December, 2011. This proposed final dividend together with the interim dividend already paid amount to total dividends of HK41.6 cents (2010: HK37.9 cents) representing a total payout ratio of about 40% of the profit attributable to owners of the Company for the year.

The Audit Committee needs to oversee management while ensuring that it does not step into the management’s role. The Audit Committee relies heavily on internal audit to provide an objective view on how well the Company is handling a number of key risks and controls. The external auditors also provide the Audit Committee with assurance regarding the Company’s financial reporting and any material weaknesses in internal control and risk management that they might come across as part of their review considered relevant to the audit. The Audit Committee oversees the relationship and coordination between the Company, internal audit and external auditors. The Audit Committee meets at least four times a year and when required, and meets the external auditors at least twice a year.

The Audit Committee comprises two independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Poon Chung Yin Joseph and Mr. Koh Boon Hwee and a non-executive Director, Ms. Ingrid Chunyuan Wu. Mr. Poon Chung Yin Joseph is the chairman of the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee and the auditor of the Company, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, have discussed with the management regarding the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31st December, 2011.
