RISK FACTORS

RISK FACTORS REGARDING THE BUSINESS OF THE GROUP

Ability to manage growth efficiently

The Group’s ability to continue its rapid growth as well as its future success depends, to a large extent, on its ability to manage the recent and anticipated growth in business.

The Group will need to:

  • expand and enhance its sales;

  • retain key personnel; and

  • maintain up-to-date technology development.

Together with the other requirements of the Group’s business, these needs will place a significant drain on the Group’s financial and management resources. If the Group cannot manage its growth successfully, its profitability may be adversely affected.

Sustainability of profit

The Group’s revenue is generated primarily on a contract-by-contract basis and the Group’s revenue may vary over time. Therefore, the future growth of the Group’s profits depends on various factors, including but not limited to the raw material costs, the production costs, and the profitability of new contracts secured, the global market conditions, consumer preference, the business performance of its major customers, research and development expenses, PRC tax rates etc.. There can be no assurance that the revenue and/or profits achieved during a particular period will be sustained in any subsequent periods. There can also be no assurance that the level of revenue derived from a particular project or customer during a particular period will recur in any subsequent periods. If the Group cannot secure adequate number of contracts in the future, the Group’s financial performance and profit growth may be adversely affected.

The New Management Team focuses on development in the South Asian region and Dubai, in which the Company believes to have a massive growth potential. The Group will continue its efforts to attract new customers by participating in trade shows, and on-going technological collaboration with customers and suppliers in view of sustaining profitability. The Company also procured Tongfang, one of the top 100 information technology enterprises in the PRC, as a strategic partner and formed a joint-venture partnership to sell certain mobile devices developed by Tongfang in markets located in India and the South Asian regions. The Board is of the view that with the New Management Team’s experience and track record, as well as the capital resources upon completion of the Share Subscriptions and the Open Offer, the Company will have the ability and adequate resources to respond to the changing market demands.

– 18 –

RISK FACTORS

Failure to retain key personnel could adversely affect the Group’s operations

The success of the Group, to a large extent, depends on the continued services of the Group’s key personnel, who are key senior executive and skilled professionals of the Group and are also responsible for overseeing the business development of the Group. Should the Group’s key personnel cease to be involved in the management and operations of the Group or should their full-time service be interrupted, there may be an adverse impact on the Group’s financial and operating performance. There can be no assurance that the Group will be able to retain the Group’s key personnel’s service in the future.

Alpha Professional has agreed to place the Management Placing Shares to key personnel of the New Management Team as an incentive and reward.

Rapid technological changes

The Company believes that the mobile handset industry is characterised by rapid technological changes. Existing products may need to be improved and enhanced as new industry standards are being introduced regularly. The Group’s prospects may be adversely affected if it is unable to keep abreast of technological advancement in a timely and cost-effective manner by improving and enhancing its existing products and services and by introducing new products. The Company’s research and development capabilities cover various aspects of mobile handset design, including software application development, hardware and printed circuit board (“ PCB ”) solution design. If the Group cannot keep up to date with the latest technology, the Group’s future growth and profitability may be adversely affected.

The Group’s research and development engineers work closely with its sales and marketing team to collect market intelligence with respect to mobile handsets and ancillary products. Through technological collaboration with customers and suppliers, the Group was able to seamlessly exchange information with them on the latest market trends with respect to product designs and technical requirements. In addition, the New Management Team has extensive experience in the development of telecommunication products, successful track record and vast knowledge on product development; hence they are able to respond to changing demands in the market.

Exchange rate risks

The sales and purchases of the Group are mainly denominated in RMB and US$. Therefore the Group is exposed to foreign exchange rate risk. As the Group has not entered into any foreign exchange forward contracts, any significant fluctuations in the exchange rates between RMB and US$ may adversely affect the profitability and the results of operations of the Group.

– 19 –

RISK FACTORS

Additional financing may not be obtained when required

The Group’s operations and development may require additional financing from either internal financial resources and/or external fund raising activities such as bank borrowings. The Group cannot assure that internal financial resources or external fund raising activities will be adequate to meet the Group’s future needs, or the Group would be able to negotiate for the favorable terms that are commercially acceptable to the Group. In the event that the Group cannot raise sufficient funds for its business operation, the future development, financial condition and results of operations of the Group may be materially and adversely affected.

Demand for products is dependent on the performance of the mobile handset device market

The market conditions and demand for mobile handset device may be volatile, which may, in turn, affect the market conditions.

In addition, a substantial amount of the services of the Group were provided to South Asian markets, any change in the growth of mobile handsets market in these markets may adversely affect the business of the Group. There is no assurance, however, that such growth rate will continue in the future. If the demand of mobile handsets in those markets decreases, the Group may suffer, and its growth potential may be materially harmed.

Competitive environment of the industry

The Group is engaged in a highly competitive market of provision of mobile handset designs and production solutions business. The Group faces competition from other mobile handset production services providers. Mobile handset production providers in the PRC and other Asian countries may have the capability to provide services similar to that of the Group at competitive prices. There is no assurance that the competition within the industry will not further intensify which could result in price reduction, diminution of the market share of the Group and have an adverse impact on the Group’s business. Further, there is no assurance that the Group will be able to adapt adequately to the changing market environment in a timely manner to upkeep its ability to compete in the industry.

General economic and market conditions

The business of the Group will be affected by the global economic and market conditions. Slow economic growth or a recession could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Group. As the service of the Group are applied in the production of mobile handsets which are ultimately sold to end users in the retail market, any drop in purchasing power could lead to drop in the demand for the services provided by the Group. This is a common industry norm for consumer electronic market that is very sensitive to changes in the global economy.

– 20 –

RISK FACTORS

Business disruptions outside the Group’s control

Any of natural disasters, epidemics, acts of God, acts of war and other disasters that are beyond control of the Group which may materially and adversely affect the Group’s business, financial condition and operating results in ways that cannot be predicted. Any business disruptions may therefore negatively affected the operation of the Group as well as the business performance. As the occurrence of natural disasters, epidemics and acts of God, acts of war and other disasters is beyond the Group’s control, there is no assurance that such events will not bring negative impact to the Group in the future.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Entry barriers

The mobile phone industry is highly competitive and new entrants have to overcome (i) bureaucratic burden and lack of transparency; (ii) legal environment; (iii) access to distribution infrastructure; (iv) capital requirements and industry scale effect; (v) foreseeable merger and acquisition; and (vi) forced product differentiation. Details of these barriers are set out below:

Bureaucratic burden and lack of transparency

Bureaucratic burden is manifested in anti-competitive practices, excessive red tape (bureaucracy or adherence to official rules and formalities), high tariff and corporate tax, interference with business operations, corruption and other secrecy within the bureaucratic system. Lack of transparency makes it hard to interpret rules and regulations and imposes extra uncertainty risks upon enterprises.

These problems are found deeply rooted in the four subject districts, but there are signs suggesting improvement, such as reduction in corporate income tax, maximum import duties and deregulation.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Legal environment

Protection of intellectual property is very essential to mobile handset industry, especially when the market ushers in an era of intensified competition and continuous innovation. The decreasing price of mobile handsets is squeezing profits, while research and development cost a great amount of investment of human and financial capital to help companies differentiating from competitors. Intellectual property theft can be very detrimental to enterprises.

Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi markets are still flooded with counterfeits and cheap copies, while Dubai launched Index to monitor intellectual property protection in Q1 2015 through Department of Economic Development, which improved the situation.

All districts have been performing badly in regulating money laundering, controlling crime loads and restricting corruption. The volatile and dangerous environment is deterring to new entrants.

Access to distribution infrastructure

India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are known for poor transportation infrastructure and logistics services. Congested and low-quality transportation jeopardises the operation and management of retail business. The lack of retail channels also makes it hard to distribute mobile handsets.

There are gradual improvements on infrastructure construction. The rising of Internet propels the development of E-commerce and O2O model, which mediates the severity to some extent, yet the problem remained to be solved.

Capital requirements and industry scale effect

The financial resources required for infrastructure, machinery, research and development and advertising for mobile handset industry is massive and formidable. The underdeveloped financial system in the subject four districts including Dubai (Dubai was ranking the 10th in 2015 Financial Secrecy Index) adds extra burden to smoothly running a business.

Startups may get around capital requirements by outsourcing parts of the operation to companies that can leverage existing investments.

Mobile market has strong capital effect as operators need huge capital investment during the initial set up period as well as the high maintenance costs in the long run. These are declines in the unit costs of a product as the absolute volume per period increases. These force the entrant to either come in at a large scale (risking strong reaction from incumbents) or a small scale (forcing a cost disadvantage).

– 29 –

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Foreseeable merger and acquisition

The competitive landscape of the industry and the overcrowded supply side urge for a massive consolidation, vertical integration or merger and acquisition across the market, some of which have already been in progress in recent years. This foreseeable trend exposes new entrants to greater risk of being acquired or otherwise, the fate of competing with bigger industry giants.

Forced product differentiation

Incumbents have brand identification and customer loyalties. This forces entrants to spend heavily to overcome these loyalties. Startups may bring a different product to market, but its benefits must be clearly communicated to the target customer. Startups must find an effective positioning, which often requires marketing resources beyond their means.

The intensifying competition in the four districts urge the necessity of product differentiation to attract and maintain customer base. Not only is there too many brands having smelt the profit potential and crowded into the playground, but increasing standards and requirements from the customer side forcing vendors to conduct continuous innovation in style and value-added features.

GROWTH DRIVERS OF MOBILE PHONE MARKET IN INDIA, PAKISTAN, BANGLADESH AND DUBAI

Supply side

Decrease in data service rate

Thank to the deregulation of telecommunication industry which leads to fiercer competition, the data services fee has been reduced greatly to increase the affordability, in line with the growing popularity of Internet usage and enhancing Internet literacy. For mobile phone handset providers, decreasing data service rates is favourable to developing new features of new mobile phones.

Foreign direct investment (“FDI”) encouragement

India, Pakistan and Bangladesh ranked 1st (US$34 billion), 3rd and 4th (US$2 billion each) respectively in South Asia in 2014. Dubai also attracted US$7.8 billion during the period. The increase in inflow of FDI suggests an increasing open and friendly environment for business operation; it also promises the dynamics and potentials of business opportunities for international companies in particular. The surging FDI inflow reflects the world’s expectation on these districts and confidence about the economic growth, where mobile phone industry can also grab a share of profits.

– 30 –

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Government incentives

Government incentives come in many ways, such as tax or tariff reduction, structural support, regulation relaxation and other policy support.

Demand side

Increasing need of mobile telecommunications

The mobile Internet combines mobile telecommunications applications with the Internet. Such convergence has transformed the way people communicate, work and lead their daily lives. In the foreseeable future, further convergence of telecommunications, the Internet and broadcasting, will bring people’s entertainment and lifestyle experience to new levels. The mobile phone will become an all-in-one wireless portable device encompassing both telecommunications and Internet access functions. Smart phone users have already left their GPS devices, MP3 players and digital cameras increasingly under-utilized. It is expected that, in the foreseeable future, newly developed smart phone applications may take over some of the applications of the credit card or even the personal ID card.

Rising disposable income and living standards

The rising disposable income in the future is one of the dominant drivers to mobile service industry. Along with the improvement of living standards, residents tend to demand for better mobile services, especially faster data transaction speed. Also, as users look for better entertainment and communication experience, data usage is expected to increase, which in turn serves as a strong driver.

The rise of the middle class in subject countries is driving consumer expenditure as well as changing consumption patterns towards more discretionary spending and a greater focus on status-related items.

It is important to note that women’s disposable incomes are also rising markedly thank to the improved access to education for girls and the greater labour force participation by women.

Increasing corporate acceptance of smartphone as business class phones

Continuously enhanced features of smartphones, such as higher operational efficiency, cutting-edge multimedia functions, convenient connectivity, speedy data processing, built-in GPS capabilities and so on, expedite business management, cooperation and transaction. In turn, enterprises expect more from the potentials of smartphones and carried applications.

Enhancement of employee/enterprise productivity encourages the rise of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) phenomenon. The willingness to reimburse the costs incurred accordingly also help increase the adoption among enterprise customers and drive demand upward.

– 31 –

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Rising requirement of technology literacy and social interaction need

The first adopters in the mobile phone market help formulate the trend and demand of new features, which currently dictate the popularity of social networking applications and the necessity of enabling an increasing number of functions on a mobile end. To catch up with first adopters, new users should also enhance their mobile phone literacy and increase social networking activity on mobile phones, which will continue to be one of the driving force of demand in the short term.

Statistically, data traffic per active smartphone is expected to increase five-fold from 1.4 GigaByte (GB) per month in 2015 to 7 GB per month by 2021. Total smartphone traffic is growing seventeen-fold to 4.2 Exabyte (EB) per month by 2021.

RECENT DEVELOPMENT TRENDS OF THE MOBILE PHONE MARKET

Indian market

Handset and SIM card sales still account for the majority of the mobile retail business, but recent demand for more diverse products and services has seen retailers offer more accessories, handset covers and after sales options.

Significant increases in data usage have generated new business opportunities beyond traditional voice services for telecom operators who now provide prepaid and postpaid mobile internet services that can be combined with voice packages or sold as standalone products. Operators such as Tata docomo, Airtel, Reliance and Vodafone have their own data cards.

Telecom operators providing Direct to Home (DTH) satellite television in India are expanding their offering by combining top-ups with mobile-targeted offers through their galleries and stores.

Value-added services have taken the mobile market by storm, with demand for new applications increasing almost on a daily basis. Traditional retailers have tried to meet consumer demand by providing value added services at the store level. These retailers have gone beyond selling handsets and SIM cards to customers to meet demand for anti-virus software and other applications.

Pakistani market

The prosperous outlook of the mobile market in Pakistan has attracted many players. Existing brands are penetrating through by decreasing prices or increasing product differentiability. New entrants trying to grab certain market share utilizing expertise in other business areas. Franchising and OEM are more common than vertical integration in Pakistan and price remains the top concern for most customers. High-end products and product lines are embracing a bright outlook, but currently are limited due to the underdeveloped telecommunication technology.

– 32 –

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Shift to smartphones is quick and sweeping, in line with the development of telecommunication technology. 4G rollout stimulates 124% increase in smartphone shipments in the first quarter in 2015 and the trend is not to be stopped.

Around half of Internet browsing is done through smartphones, while in turn Internet penetration will empower more functions for the smartphones and result in higher demand. E-commerce has been growing at a CAGR bigger than 100% in recent years, marked US$60 million in 2015 and is expected to exceed US$1 billion by 2020.

Tax reduction, reform and deregulation of telecommunication and increase in FDI are still unfolding, which shall bring about more changes in the telco industry and spillover to mobile handset industry.

Customers are expecting more functions and value-added services from vendors. There is a shift from texting and picture taking to social media using. In addition, Pakistanis expect more local content development from mobile vendors. Complaints and frustrations about poor customer services accompanying lower-end mobile phone vendors are common. With the rise of e-commerce, typing up loose ends down the supply chain will prove necessary.

Bangladeshi market

Despite high subscription growth and mobile penetration rate, mobile operators are reported suffering from low Average Revenue per User (ARPU), which indicates a mismatch between services and expectations. The late establishment of 3G network also hampered the development of smartphone market, where most functions should be accommodated with higher data capacity. As of early 2015, only 3% of mobile subscribers used 3G technology and 6%-8% of total telco revenue came from data usage.

Lack of 4G infrastructure dragged Bangladesh behind other markets. Within the limited playground, competition is intensifying and proves hard for new entrants.

The ability to sustain price war and enrich product features simultaneously help earn market shares for lower-end-phone manufacturers, while the technology savviness of international brands such as Samsung and the growing fondness for smartphones promise growth opportunities for higher-end-phone vendors. Smartphone user penetration is expected to reach 30% by 2017.

Lean distribution is common for large vendors in the market, which is part of a pull-based value chain beginning with customer orders. On the other hand, Internet has witnessed phenomenal growth and marked a penetration of 31.9% in 2015. The high trust towards internet information can nurture the development of e-commerce, which will in turn strengthen the necessity and popularity of lean distribution management.

Dubai market

While smartphone penetration is already ahead of other regions, sale of feature phones continue to drop in recent years. Smartphones are increasingly viewed multifunctional devices and expected to meet personalized needs.

– 33 –

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

High turnover rate of mobile phones promise a huge replacement sale opportunity, which also resulted in different loyalty plans to attract customers by offering value-added services or upgrading phone features frequently,

In addition to the handsets, operating platforms bring continuous values to manufacturers. During the period Android surged successfully when Blackberry OS suffered from insufficient innovations. Applications delivered via these platforms are important revenue streams as well, and they are expected to generate more profits than handsets in the coming years.

High smartphone penetration and mobile subscription makes Dubai different from other markets, which paves the way for fast development of E-commerce and IoT. The internet penetration recorded 93.2% in 2014. In the short-term location-based commerce should be expected with mobile commerce and context aware computing being further developed.

LETTER FROM THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

Trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange has been suspended since 27 June 2014. Pursuant to the court orders dated 27 June 2014 and 2 June 2015 made by the Hong Kong Court and the court order dated 17 February 2017 made by the Bermuda Court, the Provisional Liquidators were appointed to, among others, formulate and carry out a restructuring of the Company.

Details of each element are set out in the sections headed “The Schemes”, “The Capital Reorganisation”, “The Open Offer”, “The Share Subscriptions”, “The Working Capital Loan and the Loan Facility” and “The placing of Management Placing Shares” below.

Exclusivity

Alpha Professional has been granted the Exclusivity Period for the Proposed Restructuring. During the Exclusivity Period, each of the Company and the Provisional Liquidators shall not, and shall ensure that its respective partners, directors, officers, employees, advisers or agents will not, directly or indirectly: (i) enter into or be involved in any discussion or negotiation with any person except Alpha Professional and its officers, directors, employees, advisers or agents relating to the proposed restructuring of the Company;

  • (ii) enter into any verbal or written commitment or agreement (whether or not legally binding on the parties) with any person except with Alpha Professional relating to the proposed restructuring of the Company; or

  • (iii) enter into or be involved in any transaction which has the impact of frustrating or impeding the transactions as contemplated in the Framework Agreement.

Earnest Money

In consideration of the Company and the Provisional Liquidators granting the Exclusivity Period to Alpha Professional, Alpha Professional agreed to pay the Earnest Money (being a total amount of HK$40.00 million) into the Escrow Account for the discharge, in whole or in part, of fees, remuneration, costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred by the Provisional Liquidators in connection with the Proposed Restructuring.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, HK$33.00 million of the Earnest Money has been paid by Alpha Professional into the Escrow Account. In the event that Completion takes place pursuant to paragraph (i) set out in the sub-section headed “Termination” below, the remaining amount of HK$7.00 million will be deposited into the Escrow Account upon discharge of the Provisional Liquidators and will be released within five (5) business days (or such later date as Alpha Professional and the Provisional Liquidators may agree) after the date of Resumption.

– 37 –

LETTER FROM THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

In the event that the Framework Agreement is terminated by the Provisional Liquidators pursuant to paragraph (iii) set out in the sub-section headed “Termination” below, the Provisional Liquidators will be entitled to forfeit any remaining balance of the Earnest Money held in the Escrow Account (together with all accrued interest (if any)) after deduction of all fees, remuneration, costs and expenses incurred by, and payable to, the Provisional Liquidators and its advisors and agents, and treat the funds as assets of the Company.

In the event that the Framework Agreement is terminated for any reason (other than pursuant to paragraphs (i) and (iii) set out in the sub-section headed “Termination” below), the Escrow Agent will release any remaining balance of the Earnest Money in the Escrow Account (together with all accrued interest (if any)) to Alpha Professional within three (3) business days of the Termination Date.

Call Option

Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, in consideration of Alpha Professional having (i) entered into the Framework Agreement, (ii) made available the Loan Facility and (iii) paid HK$33.00 million of the Earnest Money, the Company granted to Alpha Professional the Call Option pursuant to which Alpha Professional may, at its sole and absolute discretion, at any time after the Termination Date (other than a Termination Date arising upon Resumption), require the Company to sell the entire issued shares held by it in each member of the SPV Group, free and clear of all encumbrances and at an exercise price of HK$5.00 million, being the equivalent to the first instalment of the Earnest Money.

In the event that Alpha Professional exercises the Call Option, the exercise price will be deemed to have been settled in full by the payment of the first instalment of the Earnest Money, which has already been released to the Provisional Liquidators. The Call Option will lapse upon Resumption.

As at the date of the granting of the Call Option, the SPV Group had not commenced any business activities and possessed minimal capital. In particular, the option premium, the exercise price, the value of the underlying assets, the revenue attributable to the underlying assets and the profits attributable to the underlying assets, which were determined on the date of the granting of the Call Option, are nil, HK$5.00 million, US$100.00, nil and nil, respectively.

Rule 14.74(1) of the Listing Rules on the grant of the option states that if the exercise of an option is not at the discretion of the listed issuer, the transaction will be classified as if the option had been exercised and, for the purpose of the percentage ratios, the consideration includes the premium and the exercise price of the option. Based on the particulars of the Call Option disclosed above, given that none of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the granting of the Call Option exceed 5% and the consideration of the Call Option does not include securities for which listing will be sought, the granting of the Call Option does not constitute a notifiable transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

– 38 –

LETTER FROM THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

Further, pursuant to Rule 14.76(1) of the Listing Rules, where, on the grant of the option, the actual monetary value of each of the premium, the exercise price, the value of the underlying assets and the profits and revenue attributable to such assets has not been determined, the listed issuer must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Stock Exchange the highest possible monetary value, which value will then be used for the purpose of classification of the potential notifiable transaction. However, given that all of the elements set out in Rule 14.76(1) were determined at the time of granting the Call Option, the stipulating conditions for Rule 14.76(1) are not met and thus Rule 14.76(1) is not applicable to the granting of the Call Option.

Termination

Unless the Company, the Provisional Liquidators and Alpha Professional otherwise agree in writing, the Framework Agreement shall terminate:

  • (i) automatically on the date of Completion;

  • (ii) automatically on the date when the Exclusivity Period ends;

  • (iii) in the event Alpha Professional has breached any of its obligations under the Framework Agreement, the Loan Facility Agreement, the Working Capital Loan Agreement, the Novation Deed, the First Amendment and Restatement Agreement, the Second Amendment and Restatement Agreement and/or any other agreements contemplated thereunder in any material respect which has the effect of frustrating the transactions contemplated thereunder and the Provisional Liquidators having notified Alpha Professional in writing of such breach and Alpha Professional has not remedied the breach within 30 days of the written notice, the date on which the Provisional Liquidators notify Alpha Professional to terminate the Framework Agreement after the expiry of the aforementioned 30-day period;

  • (iv) in the event the Provisional Liquidators, the Company or any of their respective partners, directors, officers, employees, advisers or agents have breached the terms of the Exclusivity, the date on which Alpha Professional notifies the Provisional Liquidators to terminate the Framework Agreement based on such breach;

  • (v) the date on which Alpha Professional notifies the Provisional Liquidators in writing to terminate the Framework Agreement if (i) the SGM or an alternative special general meeting of the Company has been convened for the Shareholders to consider and approve the Capital Reorganisation, the Open Offer, the Share Subscriptions, the Whitewash Waiver and the Framework Agreement and the respective transactions contemplated thereunder and any one or more of the resolutions to approve the Capital Reorganisation, the Open Offer, the Share Subscriptions, the Whitewash Waiver, the Framework Agreement and/or the respective transactions contemplated thereunder have not been passed by the requisite majority of the Shareholders at the said meeting or any adjourned meeting thereof; (ii) the sanction

– 39 –

LETTER FROM THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

of each of the Hong Kong Court and the Bermuda Court of the Scheme before it has not been obtained; (iii) the Schemes are not approved by the requisite majority of Scheme Creditors; and/or (iv) the Schemes are not registered and/or do not take effect for any reason; and

  • (vi) the date on which Alpha Professional notifies the Provisional Liquidators in writing to terminate the Framework Agreement if the conditions set out in the Conditional Approval Letter do not become unconditional or has not been waived by the Stock Exchange (as the case may be) on or before 31 December 2017.

Upon termination, all rights and obligations of the parties under the Framework Agreement shall cease immediately and all provisions of the Framework Agreement shall terminate (except for certain surviving provisions with respect to (i) the repayment and release of the Earnest Money; (ii) the repayment of the Loan Facility; and (iii) the exercise rights of the Call Option etc.) and the parties shall have no claims against each other whatsoever, except in relation to any claim arising from a breach of the Framework Agreement that has accrued prior to termination.

B. The Schemes

As at the date of the First Resumption Proposal, to the best knowledge of the Provisional Liquidators and based on the available books and records of the Company, the estimated total amount of claims against, and the liabilities of, the Company was over HK$677.00 million.

Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, the Company will endeavour to implement the Schemes. Under the Schemes, it is proposed that, among other things, HK$147.00 million shall be made available by the Company for the purposes of applying such funds in the following order of priority towards discharge of: (i) the claims of preferential creditors; (ii) certain costs incurred (a) in connection with certain petitions filed with the Hong Kong Court and the Bermuda Court; (b) by the Provisional Liquidators; and (c) in connection with the Schemes; (iii) the funding of a claim reserve in the amount of HK$5.00 million; and thereafter (iv) the claims of the Scheme Creditors.

The amount of HK$147.00 million required for the Schemes will be funded out of the gross proceeds of HK$269.64 million to be raised from the Open Offer and the Share Subscriptions.

As part of the Schemes, the Group will undergo a group reorganisation pursuant to which the Company will transfer all its right, title and interest in and to the Excluded Companies to a nominee of the Scheme Administrators at a nominal value. After such transfer, proceeds from the realisation of any existing assets of the Excluded Companies will be distributed for the benefit of the Scheme Creditors.

The implementation of the Schemes is conditional upon, among other things, the completion of the Capital Reorganisation, the Open Offer and the Investor Share Subscription. Under the Schemes, all the claims of the Scheme Creditors against, and liabilities of, the Company will be discharged and compromised in full in return for a pari passu distribution of the Scheme Cash Consideration and proceeds from the realisation of any existing assets of the Excluded Companies.

– 40 –

LETTER FROM THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

The Schemes shall become effective and legally binding on the Company and all the Scheme Creditors, including those voting against the Schemes and those not voting, if (i) the requisite majority (representing more than 50.00% in number and not less than 75.00% in value of the claims of the Scheme Creditors who, either in person or by proxy, attend the Scheme Meetings) votes in favour of the Schemes; (ii) the Hong Kong Court and the Bermuda Court sanction the Scheme before it; and (iii) the orders of the Hong Kong Court and the Bermuda Court sanctioning the Schemes are delivered to, the Registrars of Companies in Hong Kong and Bermuda, respectively, and, in the case of the Hong Kong Court order, duly registered by the Hong Kong Registrar of Companies.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, neither the Petitioner nor any of the preferential creditors and the secured creditors of the Company, the Scheme Creditors or the Provisional Liquidators, is a Shareholder.

Financial impacts of and reasons for the Schemes

Subject to the approval by the Scheme Creditors and the successful implementation of the Proposed Restructuring, all the claims of the Scheme Creditors against and liabilities of the Company will be discharged and settled by way of a pari passu distribution of the Scheme Cash Consideration subject to the conditions and upon the terms of the Schemes. In the event that the Schemes are not implemented on or before the longstop date set out therein, the Scheme Creditors will be in the position as if the Schemes had never been sanctioned by the courts in Hong Kong and/or Bermuda. As such, the Provisional Liquidators consider that the Schemes are the only viable way to compromise, discharge and settle all the claims of the Scheme Creditors against, and liabilities of, the Company since the Company is currently under provisional liquidation and has no sufficient funds/assets to meet such claims.

The Schemes will improve the Company’s financial position. As disclosed in the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group set out in Appendix II of this circular, the net current liabilities of the Group as at 31 March 2017 were approximately US$11.00 million (equivalent to approximately HK$85.80 million). Upon completion of the Schemes, the amount of net current assets will be improved and become US$13.43 million (equivalent to approximately HK$104.75 million).

The Schemes will also reduce financial costs incurred in relation to the loans and borrowings since the relevant indebtedness will be settled in accordance with the terms of the Schemes.

Based on the information currently available to the Provisional Liquidators, the Provisional Liquidators are of the view that the Schemes are in the best interest of the Company, the Shareholders and the Scheme Creditors as a whole.

C. The Capital Reorganisation

The Provisional Liquidators propose to implement, subject to the Shareholders’ approval, the Capital Reorganisation. The Capital Reorganisation comprises:

  • (i) the Share Consolidation – every twenty (20) existing Shares of US$0.008 each will be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of US$0.16 each; and

– 41 –

LETTER FROM THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

  • (ii) the Increase in Authorised Share Capital – immediately after the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Company’s authorised share capital will be increased from US$10,000,000.00 to US$100,000,000.00, divided into 625,000,000 Consolidated Shares of US$0.16 each by the creation of 562,500,000 new Consolidated Shares.

Conditions of the Capital Reorganisation

The implementation of the Capital Reorganisation and the listing of the Consolidated Shares are conditional upon:

  • (i) the passing of the necessary resolution(s) by the Shareholders by way of poll at the SGM to approve the Capital Reorganisation; and

  • (ii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue immediately upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective.

Reasons for the Capital Reorganisation

The Share Consolidation will increase the nominal value of the shares of the Company and will reduce the total number of existing shares of the Company currently in issue. As such, it is expected that the Share Consolidation will bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the shares of the Company. The Share Consolidation and the Increase in Authorised Share Capital will also provide flexibility for equity fund raising of the Company in the future and facilitate the Open Offer and the Share Subscriptions.

Alpha Professional entered into the Placing Agreement on 11 September 2017 with China Galaxy to place 10,169,414 Consolidated Shares at a price of US$0.16 per Consolidated Share to the New Management Team, representing approximately 4.00% of the total issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Offer Shares and the Subscription Shares. Mr. Long Hong and Ms. Wu Donghua, both being members of the New Management Team, will subscribe for 6,101,648 Consolidated Shares and 4,067,766 Consolidated Shares, respectively.

LETTER FROM THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

REASONS FOR THE ENTERING INTO OF THE FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT

The Group is principally engaged in provision of mobile handset designs and production solution services and marketing and distribution of mobile handsets and their components. As set out in section headed “The Schemes” above, there are insufficient assets to settle the liabilities of the Company. The Provisional Liquidators were keen to recommence the business operations of the Group, however, due to working capital and liquidity constraints, the initial reactivation efforts were difficult.

On 28 April 2015, Alpha Professional submitted an indicative restructuring proposal to the Provisional Liquidators outlining its plans for the continuation of the existing business operations . After arm’s length negotiations between the Provisional Liquidators, the Company and Alpha Professional, on 5 June 2015, the parties entered into the Original Framework Agreement.

The Original Framework Agreement was amended and restated by the First Amendment and Restatement Agreement, amended and supplemented by the Side Letter and further amended and restated by the Second Amendment and Restatement Agreement to incorporate the amendments made to the Proposed Restructuring as set out in the Second Resumption Proposal, based on which the Listing Committee has granted its conditional approval in the Conditional Approval Letter.

Given the financial situation of the Group and the willingness of Alpha Professional to finance the Group to continue the existing business operations, the Provisional Liquidators consider that the entry into the Framework Agreement provides the necessary contractual framework for the satisfaction of the conditions for Resumption set out by the Stock Exchange.

In particular, the Working Capital Loan has enabled the Group to continue its existing business operations through the SPV Group. The Share Subscriptions will introduce Alpha Professional and Tongfang to the Company, strengthen the financial position of the Group and, in conjunction with the Schemes, relieve the indebtedness of the Company. The Open Offer will provide an opportunity to the Shareholders to participate in the Proposed Restructuring and business development of the Group. In addition, the Open Offer will reduce the dilutive effect of the Share Subscriptions on the shareholding of the Shareholders and raise additional working capital. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Schemes, the Scheme Cash Consideration and any further proceeds from any realisation of any assets of the Excluded Companies will be distributed to the Scheme Creditors in order to discharge all liabilities of and claims against the Company.

Having considered the factors above, the Provisional Liquidators consider that the entry into of the Framework Agreement is in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Competitive strengths of the Group

(i) One stop service centre with flexible services

The Group is able to provide its customers with a complete range of services from product design to production support for mobile handsets. This one stop service saves time and resources that otherwise would have been spent on liaising separately with different suppliers for hardware procurement, mobile handset manufacturers for assembling the mobile handsets, and distributors for selling under a registered handset brand name. The Group’s one stop service improves the cost effectiveness and shortens time-to-market for the production and commercial launch of mobile handsets. Given the short product cycle of mobile handsets, cost effectiveness and short time-to-market are most crucial to the competitiveness of each product launched into the market.

LETTER FROM THE PROVISIONAL LIQUIDATORS

(ii) Speedy sample delivery

Driven by the individualisation of consumer products, mobile phone distributors develop, enhance and change their products frequently in order to stay competitive. It is critical that mobile handset suppliers meet the demand of mobile phone distributors and offer speedy solutions to satisfy customers’ fast-changing appetite for product designs and technical features. Through technological collaboration with customers and suppliers, the Group was able to seamlessly exchange information with them on the latest market trends with respect to product designs and technical requirements. The Group is able to provide sample mobile handsets to our customers for review in a very short time. The Group believes that this process enables it to secure production orders more efficiently and avoid repetitive revision requests from customers which in turn shortens the sample delivery and authentication process.

(iii) Service and product quality recognised by customers

The Group has not pursued any aggressive sale or marketing plans and has instead solicited and established close business relationships with a group of high quality customers. This approach ensured the efficient use of the Group’s resources and established its reputation in providing superior quality products and services to its customers. The success of this strategy attracts prospective customers to do business with the Company. The Group also carefully monitors the developments in its mobile handset markets and the availability of resources in order to adjust and pursue appropriate sales and marketing strategies and to constantly develop and improve its product and service quality.

(iv) Professional and dedicated management

The Group is managed by the New Management Team, which has relevant experience in the mobile handset industry and a successful track record. The team has extensive experience in the development of telecommunication products and it has vast knowledge on product development and the provision of solutions in connection with mobile handsets. The integrity, professionalism and dedication to excellence of the New Management Team will contribute to the continuous enhancement of the service and product quality of the Group and its operating performance.

BUSINESS PLAN

Upon Resumption, the Group will continue to focus on the South Asian region and Dubai, which the Company believes to have a massive growth potential.

The New Management Team expects a strong growth for the year ending 31 March 2018 contributed by the Company’s continuous robust expansion in South Asia markets. India will become the core geographic income stream with over 50% of the Group’s revenue expected to come from the Indian market in 2018. India has a population of over 13 billion and demand for mobile phones has rapidly increased in the past few years due to India’s growing economy and the availability of affordable mobile phones. According to a report published by Ericsson

It is anticipated that the demand for 4G smart phones will continue to increase in the next couple of years.

The Group will continue to secure purchase orders from its existing customers and attract new customers by participating trade shows, and on-going technological collaboration with customer and suppliers, which contributed to the overall increase of the Company’s revenue.

PROPOSED VOLUNTARY DELISTING FROM THE SGX-ST

The Company proposes to seek a voluntary delisting of the Company from the Official List of the SGX-ST. An application has been made by the Company to the SGX-ST in early August 2017 and the SGX-ST has advised that it has no objection to the proposed delisting subject to certain conditions. The Company has issued an announcement containing the relevant information on 29 August 2017.

LISTING APPLICATION

Since the Shares have a primary listing on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and a secondary listing on the SGX-ST (to which an application of delisting of the Company has been made), the Company will apply to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares, the Offer Shares and the Subscription Shares. Dealings in the Consolidated Shares, the Offer Shares and the Subscription Shares, will be subject to the payment of stamp duty in Hong Kong (where applicable).

An application will be made by the Company to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue, the Offer Shares and the Subscription Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation, the Open Offer and the Share Subscriptions. Subject to the granting of the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares, the Offer Shares and the Subscription Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Consolidated Shares, the Offer Shares and the Subscription Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the Consolidated Shares, the Offer Shares and the Subscription Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second trading day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.

Save for the Shares that have been listed on the SGX-ST since 21 November 2007 and the Company’s Taiwan Depository Receipts that were listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation on 3 December 2010 (which have been delisted since 1 March 2015), none of the securities of the Company is listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange and no such listing or permission to deal is proposed to be sought.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange has been suspended since 27 June 2014. Pursuant to the court orders dated 27 June 2014 and 2 June 2015 made by the High Court of Hong Kong (the “ Hong Kong Court ”) and the court order dated 17 February 2017 made by the Supreme Court of Bermuda (the “ Bermuda Court ”), the Provisional Liquidators were appointed to, among others, formulate and carry out a restructuring of the Company.

The Company submitted to the Stock Exchange the First Resumption Proposal for the Proposed Restructuring on 19 July 2015, but it was considered not viable by the Stock Exchange. On 7 September 2016, the Company submitted the Second Resumption Proposal, which was supplemented by a supplemental resumption proposal dated 24 April 2017 and as further particularised in subsequent submissions by the Company (as further supplemented from time to time). The Second Resumption Proposal was conditionally approved by the Listing Committee on 30 June 2017, which is subject to (i) the completion of all the transactions contemplated under the Second Resumption Proposal; and (ii) the withdrawal or dismissal of the winding up petitions against the Company and its subsidiaries and the discharge of the provisional liquidators.

THE INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE AND THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Independent Board Committee, comprising Mr. Liu Jintao and Mr. Tsang Hin Fun Anthony, both being the independent non-executive Directors, has been established in relation to the Proposed Restructuring and the Whitewash Waiver, and to give advice and recommendation to the Independent Shareholders as to (i) whether the terms of the Proposed Restructuring and the transactions contemplated under the Framework Agreement, in particular, the Capital Reorganisation and the Share Subscriptions, are fair and reasonable; and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; (ii) whether the Whitewash Waiver is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; and (iii) how the Independent Shareholders should vote in respect of the resolutions to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Proposed Restructuring and the Whitewash Waiver, taking into account the recommendation of the Independent Financial Adviser.

As the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders, our role is to give an independent opinion to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders as to (i) whether the terms of the Proposed Restructuring and the transactions contemplated under the Framework Agreement, in particular, the Capital Reorganisation and the Share Subscriptions, are fair and reasonable; and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; (ii) whether the Whitewash Waiver is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; and (iii) how the Independent Shareholders should vote in respect of the resolutions to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Proposed Restructuring and the Whitewash Waiver.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Altus Capital is not associated with the Company, Alpha Professional or any of their substantial shareholders or any party acting, or presumed to be acting, in concert with any of them and accordingly, is considered eligible to give independent advice to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in connection with the Proposed Restructuring and the Whitewash Waiver. Apart from the normal professional fees payable to us in connection with this engagement, no arrangement exists whereby we will receive any fees or benefits from the aforementioned parties.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

As the Open Offer will not increase the issued share capital or the market capitalisation of the Company by more than 50% within the 12-month period immediately preceding the first announcement in relation to the Open Offer on 31 August 2017, the Open Offer is not subject to the approval by the Shareholders pursuant to Rule 7.24(5) of the Listing Rules.

However, as the Open Offer forms part of the Proposed Restructuring, the Company proposes that the Open Offer be put forward to the Independent Shareholders for approval by way of poll at the SGM.

The Company will seek the Specific Mandate from the Independent Shareholders for the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares to be issued under the Investor Share Subscription Agreement and the Tongfang Share Subscription Agreement.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND THE APPLICATION FOR THE WHITEWASH WAIVER

Alpha Professional has procured Tongfang Asset Management to acquire 20% equity in Perfect Major, a subsidiary owned as to 80% by the Company, and to subscribe for 12,711,719 Consolidated Shares, representing 5% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the Offer Shares and the Subscription Shares. As such, Tongfang Asset Management is considered to be a party acting in concert with Alpha Professional.

As at the Latest Practicable Date and based on the information available to the Company, Mr. Wang, a former Director, is deemed to be interested in a total of 153,510,250 Shares, representing approximately 20.13% of the issued share capital of the Company. Although Mr. Wang is not involved in the Proposed Restructuring, since (i) Mr. Wang is interested in 20% or more of the voting rights in the Company through his holding of Shares through HKSCC Nominees Ltd. and Wise Premium; and (ii) Tongfang Asset Management is interested in 20% of the issued share of Perfect Major, a subsidiary owned as to 80% by the Company, Mr. Wang is presumed to be acting in concert with the Investor Group pursuant to note 1 to the definition of acting in concert under the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Investor Group does not hold, control or have direction over any Shares, convertible securities, warrants, options, or derivatives or similar rights which are convertible or exchangeable into Shares.

– 90 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Upon completion of the Open Offer and the Share Subscriptions and prior to the placing of Management Placing Shares, (i) assuming all the existing Shareholders take up their entitled Offer Shares under the Open Offer, the Investor Group and parties acting in concert with it will be interested in 211,591,964 Consolidated Shares, representing approximately 83.23% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the Offer Shares and the Subscription Shares; and (ii) assuming none of the existing Shareholders take up their entitled Offer Shares under the Open Offer, the Investor Group and parties acting in concert with it will be interested in 208,521,759 Consolidated Shares, representing approximately 82.02% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the Offer Shares and the Subscription Shares. Unless the Whitewash Waiver is obtained from the Executive, an obligation to make a mandatory general offer would be triggered on the part of Alpha Professional and its concert parties for all issued shares of the Company, other than those already owned or agreed to be acquired by Alpha Professional and its concert parties, pursuant to Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

Alpha Professional has made an application to the Executive for the granting of the Whitewash Waiver pursuant to Note 1 on dispensations from Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Executive has indicated that it will grant the Whitewash Waiver subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the SGM. If the Whitewash Waiver is not approved by the Independent Shareholders at the SGM, the Share Subscriptions will not proceed.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Alpha Professional does not believe that the Share Subscriptions give rise to any concerns in relation to compliance with other applicable rules or regulations (including the Listing Rules). Alpha Professional notes that the Executive may not grant the Whitewash Waiver if the Share Subscriptions do not comply with other applicable rules and regulations, notwithstanding that all relevant requirements under the Takeovers Code may have been compiled with.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We have no reason to believe that any statements, information, opinions or representations relied on by us in forming our opinion is untrue, inaccurate or misleading, nor are we aware of any material facts the omission of which would render the statements, information, opinions or representations provided to us untrue, inaccurate or misleading. We have assumed that all the statements, information, opinions and representations for matters relating to the Group contained or referred to in the Circular and/or provided to us by the Provisional Liquidators and the Directors have been reasonably made after due and careful enquiry. We have relied on such statements, information, opinions and representations and have not conducted any independent investigation into the business, financial conditions and affairs or the future prospects of the Group.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion and recommendation, we have taken into account the principal factors and reasons set out below:

1. Background information of the Group and the Proposed Restructuring

The Company was listed on the Stock Exchange on 1 March 2010 with the principal activity of marketing and distribution of mobile handsets and their components, provision of mobile handset design and production solution services.

A petition for the winding-up of the Company was presented on 4 April 2014. The Hong Kong Court made orders appointing Mr. Yat Kit Jong and Mr. Donald Edward Osborn of PricewaterhouseCoopers as joint and several provisional liquidators of the Company on 27 June 2014. At the request of the Company, trading in its shares on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and the SGX-ST was suspended with effect from the same date. On 2 June 2015, Mr. Man Chun So of PricewaterhouseCoopers was appointed as an additional joint and several provisional liquidator to the Company.

By the order of the Bermuda Court dated 17 February 2017, Mr. Donald Edward Osborn, Mr. Yat Kit Jong and Mr. Man Chun So were appointed as the joint provisional liquidators of the Company and are authorised to, inter alia, undertake the restructuring of the indebtedness of the Company pursuant to the Schemes. The Provisional Liquidators applied for, and were granted on 17 March 2017, a letter of request for recognition of and assistance to them at common law.

By the orders of the Hong Kong Court dated 27 March 2017 and 29 March 2017 and both sealed on 11 April 2017, the Hong Kong Court discharged Mr. Donald Edward Osborn, Mr. Yat Kit Jong and Mr. Man Chun So as the Hong Kong Provisional Liquidators and granted the Bermuda Provisional Liquidators recognition in Hong Kong as provisional liquidators appointed by the Bermuda Court.

The Provisional Liquidators had taken various steps to ascertain the assets and liabilities of the Company. They consider that it would be in the best interest of the Company, and hence its creditors, for the Group to be restructured via implementation of schemes of arrangement in Hong Kong and in Bermuda to maximise returns to the creditors.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

On 28 April 2015, Alpha Professional formally submitted an indicative restructuring proposal to the Provisional Liquidators. Apart from the competitiveness of the Alpha Professional’s proposal, the Provisional Liquidators believed that Alpha Professional’s profile and experience in the industry would positively contribute towards a successful restructuring of the Group. In order to facilitate the debt restructuring, the Original Framework Agreement was entered into between Alpha Professional, the Company and the Hong Kong Provisional Liquidators on 5 June 2015. In addition, a new management team was appointed to the Company at around that time for the reactivation of the Company’s business (conducted through Operating Subsidiaries) with Alpha Professional’s financial support.

On 19 July 2015, the Company submitted to the Stock Exchange the First Resumption Proposal for the resumption of trading in its shares which was subsequently further revised and updated from time to time.

Since then, the Group had been able to accelerate further the reactivation of its business and generate meaningful revenue and profits. The Group’s business plan is that it will be principally engaged in the provision of mobile handset design and production solution services and marketing and distribution of mobile handsets and their components. The mobile handsets mainly include 2G feature phones and 3G/4G smart phones. At the initial stage, target customers of the Group were largely overseas mobile handset brand owners mainly located in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan.

As a result of the reactivation of the Group’s business operation, the Group was able to return to profit for the year ended 31 March 2016, after consecutive losses for two years. During the financial year ended 31 March 2016, the Group has successfully reactivated its business operations by selling approximately 625,000 mobile phones and running a normal course of business operation with its trade creditors and customers.

After lengthy negotiations with the Stock Exchange and the submission of several resumption proposals, on 30 June 2017, the Stock Exchange issued the Conditional Approval Letter granting the conditional in-principle approval of the Second Resumption Proposal. The conditions, including (i) the completion of all the transactions contemplated (including the Share Consolidation, the Share Subscriptions, the Open Offer and the group reorganisation) under the Second Resumption Proposal; and (ii) the withdrawal or dismissal of the winding up petitions against the Company and its subsidiaries and the discharge of the provisional liquidators, will need to be completed to the satisfaction of the Listing Department of the Stock Exchange by 29 November 2017. The Company was placed in the delisting procedure under Practice Note 17 to the Listing Rules since July 2014. Given that the Company is implementing a revised resumption proposal, the Stock Exchange allowed the third delisting stage to expire in October 2016. However, if the above conditions for the Resumption could not be fulfilled by 29 November 2017, it is possible that the Stock Exchange may eventually cancel the listing of the Shares.

Following the issuance of the Conditional Approval Letter, Alpha Professional, the Company and the Provisional Liquidators entered into the Second Amendment and Restatement Agreement on 25 July 2017 to amend the then existing framework agreement to the Framework Agreement, to record the terms and conditions on which the parties to it have agreed to proceed with the Proposed Restructuring and the Resumption.

2.1. A brief summary of the financial performance of the Group for the past three years ended 31 March 2017

For the years ended 31 March 2015 and 2016

During the year ended 31 March 2015, due to a lack of working capital and the departure of some key members of former management team of the Group, the Provisional Liquidators and the Directors were unable to continue with the business operations of the Group. Accordingly, the Group recorded no turnover and no gross profit for the year ended 31 March 2015. Loss before restructuring costs and tax was approximately US$50.34 million and loss for the year attributable to owners of the Company was approximately US$50.48 million for the year ended 31 March 2015.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

During the year ended 31 March 2016, as discussed above, the Group was able to return to profit as a result of the reactivation of the Group’s business operation given financial support provided by Alpha Professional. The Group recorded revenue of approximately US$12.72 million, a profit before restructuring costs and tax of approximately US$1.14 million and a profit attributable to the owners of the Company of approximately US$0.37 million for the year ended 31 March 2016. All of the revenue for the year ended 31 March 2016 was generated from the distribution business of 2G feature phones and 3G/4G smart phones through the Group’s Operating Subsidiaries.

The Group’s net assets increased from approximately US$0.18 million as at 31 March 2015 to approximately US$0.56 million as at 31 March 2016, representing an increase of approximately 202.50%. The increase in net assets was mainly due to the profit recorded for the year ended 31 March 2016 as mentioned above. The Group’s net current liabilities remained relatively stable at approximately US$12.68 million and US$12.31 million as at 31 March 2015 and 2016 respectively.

For the years ended 31 March 2016 and 2017

The Group’s revenue was approximately US$22.98 million for the year ended 31 March 2017, representing an increase of approximately 80.71% from approximately US$12.72 million in 2016. The increase was mainly attributable to (i) the substantial increase in sales in South Asia and Dubai as the New Management Team of the Group had its primary market focus on the South Asian Region and Dubai, which the Company believes to have a massive growth potential; and (ii) the increase in total sales in smart phones due to the technological advancement and the availability of disposable income to a broader consumer base in the target region. Given that the unit price of smart phones is far greater than that of feature phones, the shift of the Group’s product mix towards smart phones has a positive impact on the Group’s overall revenue.

The Group’s gross profit increased by approximately 61.01% from approximately US$2.06 million for the year ended 31 March 2016 to approximately US$3.32 million for the year ended 31 March 2017. Such increase was mainly due to the increase in sales revenue as mentioned above.

The Group’s profit attributable to the owners of the Company increased by approximately 267.15% from approximately US$0.37 million for the year ended 31 March 2016 to approximately US$1.37 million for the year ended 31 March 2017. Such increase was mainly due to (i) the increase in sales revenue as mentioned above; (ii) the increase in other income due to entering into the contract between the Group and Shenzhen Huakong Technology Co., Ltd, an independent third party, to develop the sale of Huakong’s products in the Indian market during the year ended 31 March 2017; and (iii) the decrease in restructuring costs.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Group’s net assets increased from approximately US$0.56 million as at 31 March 2016 to approximately US$1.93 million as at 31 March 2017, representing an increase of approximately 245.78%. The increase in net assets was mainly due to the profit recorded for the year ended 31 March 2017 as mentioned above. The Group’s net current liabilities decreased by approximately 10.62% from approximately US$12.31 million for the year ended 31 March 2016 to approximately US$11.00 million for the year ended 31 March 2017. The decrease in net current liabilities was mainly due to the decrease in the balance of trade and bills payable as at year end.

2.2. Audit qualifications

As set out in the independent auditor’s report in Appendix I to the Circular, the auditor of the Company had given disclaimed opinions on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for each of the three years ended 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017.

It was noted from the annual reports of the Company that because of the significance of the matters described in the corresponding basis for disclaimer of opinion section of the annual reports, the auditor of the Company had not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, they did not express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements of the Group for each of the three years ended 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017.

2.3. Outlook

The Group is primarily engaged as a mobile handsets solution provider and the services, with a particular focus on design, development, customisation and technological collaboration. The Group’s business will be divided into (i) design of mobile handsets; (ii) assembly of mobile handsets; and (iii) delivery of products and after-sales services and are mainly carried out by the operating subsidiaries managed by the New Management Team. The mobile handsets mainly include features phones and smart phones and target customers of the Group are largely renowned overseas mobile handset brand owners mainly located in India, Bangladesh, Dubai and Pakistan.

We also understand that the New Management Team are of the view that the new business model of the Company is viable and sustainable and will enable the Company to sustain a long term organic growth. We concur with the view of the New Management Team that the mobile phone market in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Dubai, being the market that the new business model of the Company will be focusing on, will experience strong growth and have a good prospect after considering (i) the expected strong economic growth; (ii) the expected strong growth in mobile subscriptions; (iii) the growth drivers from both supply and demand perspectives of the mobile phone market; (iv) recent development trends of the mobile phone market; and (v) the opportunities and obstacles of the mobile phone market in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Dubai, as illustrated in the section headed “Industry overview” of the Circular.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

According to the “Profit forecast for the 24 months ending 31 March 2019” as set out in Appendix III to the Circular, which is prepared by the Directors with the assistance of the New Management Team and endorsed by the independent auditor of the Company, based on the bases and assumptions as set forth there, and in the absence of unforeseen circumstances, it is forecasted that the Group will record a profit before income tax and restructuring related costs of approximately HK$30.15 million (equivalent to approximately US$3.87 million) and HK$34.55 million (equivalent to approximately US$4.43 million) for the years ending 31 March 2018 and 2019, representing an increase of approximately 95.52% and approximately 14.56% from the previous financial year respectively. As we have mentioned above, since the Company’s business was reactivated and the New Management Team was appointed to carry out the new business model in 2016, the Group was able to return to profit for the year ended 31 March 2016, after consecutive losses for two years, and had continued to record profit attributable to the owners of the Company in the first half of 2017. In view of (i) the good prospect of the mobile phone industry in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Dubai; (ii) the positive financial performance of the Company after applying the new business model; and (iii) the growth potential as shown in the abovementioned profit forecast, we concur with the view of the New Management Team that the new business model under their management is viable and sustainable and is expected to enable the Company to sustain a long term organic growth.

We understand from the Provisional Liquidators and the Directors that the completion of the Proposed Restructuring will facilitate the removal of audit qualifications in audit reports of the Company in the future since the Excluded Companies, which have no complete books and records, will no longer be part of the Group after implementing the Schemes. In relation to the going concern issue, which was another matter leading to audit qualifications, we concur with the view of the Directors that upon completion of the Proposed Restructuring, the adoption of the new business model, which enables a long term organic growth of the Company, will facilitate the Company to continue as a going concern and to meet its financial liabilities as and when they fall due in the foreseeable future.

3. Principal elements of the Framework Agreement

Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, the Proposed Restructuring will comprise, among other things, (i) the Schemes; (ii) the Capital Reorganisation; (iii) the Open Offer; (iv) the Share Subscriptions; (v) the Working Capital Loan and the Loan Facility; and (vi) the placing of Management Placing Shares. Details of each element are set out in the “Letter from the Provisional Liquidators” contained in the Circular. Among these elements, the Capital Reorganisation, the Open Offer and the Share Subscriptions are subject to Independent Shareholders’ approval.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

4. Reasons for entering into the Framework Agreement

The Group is principally engaged in provision of mobile handset designs and production solution services and marketing and distribution of mobile handsets and their components. However, as shown in section 2 above, the Company is already having a net current liabilities position since 2015, and therefore the Company has insufficient assets to settle the liabilities of the Company. According to the Provisional Liquidators, they were keen to recommence the business operations of the Group. However, due to working capital and liquidity constraints, the initial reactivation efforts were difficult.

On 28 April 2015, Alpha Professional submitted an indicative restructuring proposal to the Provisional Liquidators outlining its plans for the continuation of the existing business operations. After arm’s length negotiations between the Provisional Liquidators, the Company and Alpha Professional, on 5 June 2015, the parties entered into the Original Framework Agreement. As discussed in sections 1 and 2 above of this letter, since the entering into the Original Framework Agreement, the Group has been able to accelerate the reactivation of its business and generate meaningful revenue and profits given the financial support from Alpha Professional being part of the Original Framework Agreement.

Given the financial situation of the Group and the willingness of Alpha Professional to finance the Group to continue the existing business operations, we concur with the view of the Provisional Liquidators and the Directors that the entering into of the Framework Agreement provides (i) the necessary contractual framework for the implementation of a corporate restructuring exercise and a business plan to revive the Company; and (ii) the opportunity that following completion of all the steps set out in the Framework Agreement, to satisfy the conditions for Resumption imposed by the Listing Committee. In particular, it is noted that the Working Capital Loan had enabled the Group to continue its existing business operations through its Operating Subsidiaries. In addition, the Provisional Liquidators and the Directors believe and we concur that the implementation of the Proposed Restructuring as contemplated under the Framework Agreement will:

  • (i) introduce, under the Share Subscriptions, new investors being Alpha Professional and Tongfang Asset Management to the Company, as well as to strengthen the financial position of the Group and relieve the indebtedness of the Company;

  • (ii) provide, under the Open Offer, an opportunity to the Shareholders (aa) to participate in the Proposed Restructuring and to enjoy the potential benefits that may arise from the future business development of the Group; and (bb) to reduce the dilution effect of the Share Subscriptions on the shareholding of the Shareholders;

(iii) raise, under the Open Offer, additional working capital for the Company; and

  • (iv) enable the Company to be discharged from all liabilities of and claims against it when the terms and the conditions of the Schemes are fulfilled, the Scheme Cash Consideration and any further proceeds from any realisation of any assets of the Excluded Companies are distributed to the Scheme Creditors.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As we have mentioned above, the Company was placed in the delisting procedure under Practice Note 17 to the Listing Rules since July 2014. Given that the Company is implementing a revised resumption proposal, the Stock Exchange allowed the third delisting stage to expire in October 2016. In the event that the Framework Agreement is not implemented within the Exclusivity Period or terminated due to the reasons set out in the section headed “Termination” set out in the “Letter from the Provisional Liquidators” of the Circular or the conditions imposed by the Listing Committee for the Resumption are not completed to the satisfaction of the Listing Department of the Stock Exchange by 29 November 2017, it is possible that the Stock Exchange may eventually cancel the listing of the Shares and the Company may eventually be forced to wind up. As a result, taking into account the current financial position of the Group, the Shareholders may unlikely receive any return from the winding-up of the Company.

Taking into account the reasons mentioned above, we concur with the Provisional Liquidators’ and the Directors’ view that the entering into the Framework Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

5. The terms of the transactions contemplated under the Framework Agreement

As mentioned above, among all elements under the Framework Agreement, the Capital Reorganisation, the Open Offer and the Share Subscriptions are subject to Independent Shareholders’ approval.

5.1. The Capital Reorganisation

The Provisional Liquidators propose to implement, subject to the Shareholders’ approval, the Capital Reorganisation. The Capital Reorganisation comprises:

  • (i) the Share Consolidation – every twenty (20) existing Shares of US$0.008 each will be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of US$0.16 each; and

  • (ii) the Increase in Authorised Share Capital – immediately after the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Company’s authorised share capital will be increased from US$10,000,000 to US$100,000,000, divided into 625,000,000 Consolidated Shares of US$0.16 each by the creation of 562,500,000 new Consolidated Shares.

The following table sets out the effect of the Capital Reorganisation on the share capital of the Company before and after completion of the Capital Reorganisation:

Before the Capital Immediately after the
Reorganisation Capital Reorganisation
Nominal Value US$0.008 US$0.16
Authorised share capital US$10,000,000.00 US$100,000,000.00

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Reorganisation Capital Reorganisation
Issued and paid-up US$6,101,501.296 US$6,101,501.280
share capital divided into divided into 38,134,383
762,687,662 Shares Consolidated Shares

We concur with the view of the Provisional Liquidators that the Share Consolidation will increase the nominal value of the shares of the Company currently in issue. As such, it is expected that the Share Consolidation may bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the shares of the Company. The Share Consolidation and the Increase in Authorised Share Capital will also provide flexibility for equity fund raising of the Company in the future, including (i) the Share Subscriptions, the proceeds of which will be applied towards discharging the claims of the Scheme Creditors and as general working capital in supporting ongoing business operations of the SPV Group; and (ii) the Open Offer, which will provide an opportunity to the Shareholders to participate in the Proposed Restructuring and business development of the Group. We will discuss the Share Subscriptions and the Open Offer in details in the sections below. The completion of the Share Consolidation is the first step and a crucial step to be carried out under the Framework Agreement, which in turn, will enable the implementation of the rest of the steps of the Proposed Restructuring and fulfil the conditions for the Resumption.

Based on the above reasons, we concur with the view of the Provisional Liquidators that the Capital Reorganisation is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

5.2. The Open Offer

(a) Terms of the Open Offer

Subject to the completion of the Capital Reorganisation, the Company will conduct the Open Offer on the basis of two (2) Offer Shares for every five (5) Consolidated Shares held on the Open Offer Record Date by the Qualifying Shareholders. The Open Offer will be underwritten by the Underwriter on a fully underwritten basis. For details on the use of proceeds from the Open Offer, please refer to the section headed “Use of proceeds from the Open Offer and the Share Subscriptions” under section 5.3 – “The Share Subscriptions” below.

Set out below are the principal terms of the Open Offer:

  • (ii) approximately 40.00% of the issued share capital of the Company upon completion of the Capital Reorganisation;

  • (iii) approximately 28.57% of the issued share capital of the Company upon completion of the Capital Reorganisation and as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Offer Shares; and

  • (iv) approximately 6.00% of the issued share capital of the Company upon completion of the Capital Reorganisation and as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Offer Shares and the Subscription Shares.

  • (b) The Offer Price

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 74.84% to the average theoretical closing price of approximately HK$4.960 per Consolidated Share as adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation based on the average closing price of approximately HK$0.248 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

We understand from the Provisional Liquidators that the Offer Price (which is the same as the Subscription Price) has been determined having regard to the fact that (i) the Provisional Liquidators have been appointed; (ii) the prolonged suspension of trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange; (iii) the prevailing stock market conditions; and (iv) the prospects of the business operations of the Group.

Market comparable analysis on the Offer Price

To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Offer Price of the Open Offer, which in turn facilitate us to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price to be discussed in section 5.3 below, we have, on a best effort basis, identified an exhaustive list of four open offers conducted by companies listed on the Stock Exchange (the “ Market Comparables ”) with the following criteria for selecting comparables: (i) their shares were suspended for trading for more than one year; (ii) the open offer was part of the restructuring plan of the company for the purpose of seeking a resumption of trading of their shares; (iii) the restructuring plan of the company also consisted of issuance of new shares for subscription by or placing to new investors; (iv) the subscription or placing of new shares was conditional on having obtained a whitewash waiver; (v) the share subscription price or the placing price was the same as the open offer price; and (vi) their respective announcements for their restructuring plan, including the open offer transactions were published during 12-month period preceding the Latest Practicable Date (i.e. from 21 September 2016 to 20 September 2017). Despite the fact that the Market Comparables that we have identified may have different business activities and prospects or the Market Comparables may inject different types of new business under their respective restructuring proposals that might not be exactly the same as the Group, the restructuring proposals of the Market Comparables have some common

elements as the Proposed Restructuring, in particular, (i) the issuance of new shares for subscription by or placing to new investors; (ii) the subscription or placing of new shares was conditional on having obtained a whitewash waiver; and (iii) the share subscription price or the placing price being the same as the open offer price, and therefore, this market comparable analysis which for illustrative purpose only will provide some key indicators (namely the offer price versus the closing price on the last trading day and the potential dilution effect) for the Shareholders to consider whether the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable.

Notes:

  • (1) The closing price of Golden Shield Holdings (Industrial) Limited on the last trading day is adjusted to reflect the effect from the share consolidation of every 10 shares into one consolidated share.

  • (2) The closing price of China Agrotech Holdings Limited on the last trading day is adjusted to reflect the effect from the share consolidation of every 10 shares into one consolidated share.

  • (3) The closing price of Flyke International Holdings Limited on the last trading day is adjusted to reflect the effect from the share consolidation of every two shares into one consolidated share.

  • (4) The closing price of China Lumena New Materials Corporation on the last trading day is adjusted to reflect the effect from the share consolidation of every 10 shares into one consolidated share.

– 103 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  • (5) The closing price of the Company on the last trading day is adjusted to reflect the effect from the share consolidation of every 20 shares into one consolidated share.

As shown in the above table, the discounts represented by the offer prices to the closing prices of shares of the Market Comparables on the last trading days prior to the release of the respective announcements ranged from approximately 74.08% to approximately 99.36% (the “ LTD Market Range ”). The discount of approximately 70.29% as represented by the Offer Price to the closing price of the Shares on the Last Trading Day is lower than the LTD Market Range.

The discount represented by the offer prices to the theoretical ex-entitlement prices of the shares of the Market Comparables ranged from approximately 62.50% to approximately 98.73% (the “ TEP Market Range ”). The discount of approximately 62.82% as represented by the Offer Price to the theoretical ex-entitlement price is within the TEP Market Range.

Given that the trading of the Shares on the Stock Exchange has been suspended since 27 June 2014 which is more than three years ago, we believe that using the closing price of the Shares prior to the suspension of trading as reference for the evaluation of the Offer Price is inappropriate as this would not reflect the current financial condition and value of the Company. Independent Shareholders should also note that comparing the Offer Price with those other restructured companies is for illustrative purpose only as described above.

Having considered that (i) the Shares have been suspended for trading for more than three years and hence, it is acceptable to set the Offer Price at a discount due to liquidity risk in order to encourage the existing Shareholders to participate in the Open Offer; (ii) the Offer Price was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Underwriter; and (iii) the Offer Price represents a premium to the theoretical net asset value of the Company per Consolidated Share, we are of the view that the Offer Price is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

5.3. The Share Subscriptions

(a) Terms of the Share Subscriptions

Pursuant to the Investor Share Subscription Agreement as entered into between the Company and Alpha Professional on 25 July 2017, Alpha Professional will subscribe for 188,134,528 Consolidated Shares at the Subscription Price of US$0.16 per Consolidated Share for a gross consideration of approximately US$30.10 million (equivalent to approximately HK$234.78 million).

– 104 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Besides, pursuant to the Tongfang Share Subscription Agreement, Tongfang Asset Management (or one of its subsidiaries and/or its affiliates) will subscribe for 12,711,719 Consolidated Shares at the subscription price of US$0.16 per Consolidated Share for a gross consideration of approximately US$2.03 million (equivalent to approximately HK$15.83 million).

Assuming that there is no change to the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date and up to the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares (save for the Capital Reorganisation and the allotment and issue of the Offer Shares), the 188,134,528 Consolidated Shares from the Investor Share Subscription, the 12,711,719 Consolidated Shares from the Tongfang Share Subscription and the aggregated 200,846,247 Consolidated Shares from the Share Subscriptions to be allotted and issued represent:

  • (i) approximately 24.67%, 1.67% and 26.33% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date respectively;

  • (ii) approximately 493.35%, 33.33% and 526.68% of the issued share capital of the Company upon completion of the Capital Reorganisation respectively;

  • (iii) approximately 352.39%, 23.81% and 376.20% of the issued share capital of the Company upon completion of the Capital Reorganisation and as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Offer Shares respectively; and

  • (iv) approximately 74.00%, 5.00% and 79.00% of the issued share capital of the Company upon completion of the Capital Reorganisation and as enlarged by the issue of the Offer Shares and the Subscription Shares respectively.

(b) The Subscription Price

The Subscription Price is the same as the Offer Price at US$0.16 (equivalent to approximately HK$1.248). We understand from the Provisional Liquidators that the Subscription Price has been determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company, Alpha Professional and Tongfang Asset Management having regard to the fact that (i) the Provisional Liquidators have been appointed; (ii) the prolonged suspension of trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange; (iii) the prevailing stock market conditions; and (iv) the prospects of the business operations of the Group.

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Share Subscriptions, we have reviewed the Investor Share Subscription Agreement and the Tongfang Share Subscription Agreement and are not aware of any unusual terms. Considering that (i) the Subscription Price is the same as the Offer Price, meaning that the Share price to be paid by Alpha Professional and Tongfang Asset Management is not more favourable than that to be paid by the existing Shareholders if they wish to take up the Offer Shares; (ii) the Offer Price is fair and reasonable as far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned

– 105 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

as discussed in section 5.2 above; and (iii) the net current liabilities position and high gearing ratio of the Group as at 31 March 2017, we are of the view that the terms of the Share Subscriptions, including the Subscription Price, are fair and reasonable as far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

(c) Use of proceeds from the Open Offer and the Share Subscriptions

Out of the total gross proceeds from the Open Offer and the Share Subscriptions of approximately HK$269.64 million, after excluding the estimated expenses of HK$0.72 million and other incidental costs to be incurred in relation to the Open Offer and the Share Subscriptions,

  • (i) HK$147.00 million (being the Scheme Cash Consideration) will be applied to settle, among other things, (aa) the costs in connection with the issuing of the winding up petition against the Company, the costs in connection with petitions for the appointment of the Company’s provisional liquidators and their appointments in Hong Kong and Bermuda, the Provisional Liquidators’ costs and the Scheme Costs; (bb) the claims of preferential creditors (if any) of the Company; and (cc) the claims of the Scheme Creditors admitted under the Schemes;

  • (ii) HK$20.00 million will be applied to repay the outstanding amount due by the Company to Alpha Professional under Working Capital Loan; and

  • (iii) the remaining balance of HK$101.92 million will be applied to (aa) to settle the cost associated with the Capital Reorganisation (if any); (bb) to settle the cost associated with the delisting from the SGX-ST; and (cc) as general working capital of the Group.

Independent Shareholders should note that completion of the Share Subscriptions are not inter-conditional with the completion of the Open Offer. However the successful implementation of each of the Share Subscriptions and the Open Offer will provide sufficient funding for the Group to carry out other elements of the Proposed Restructuring and in turn, satisfies the conditions of the Resumption.

Moreover, regarding the Open Offer, we are of the view that the Open Offer will allow each Qualifying Shareholder to have an equal opportunity to participate in the Company’s future development by subscribing for his/her/its assured entitlements under the Open Offer. The Open Offer will also reduce the dilution effect of the Share Subscriptions on the shareholding of the existing Shareholders and raise additional working capital.

Regarding the Share Subscriptions, the Provisional Liquidators and the Directors believe and we concur that under the current circumstances of the Company, implementing the Share Subscriptions will introduce new investors to the Company, as well as to strengthen the financial position of the Group and relieve the indebtedness of the Company.

– 106 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Given the aforesaid and considering that (i) the resumption of trading in the Shares upon completion of the Proposed Restructuring is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders; (ii) the net current liabilities of the Company of approximately US$11.00 million as at 31 March 2017; (iii) the imminent need to discharge the Company’s liabilities to the Scheme Creditors under the Schemes; and (iv) the proceeds from the Open Offer and the Share Subscriptions will provide funding for the Scheme Cash Consideration, the repayment of amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Loan Agreement and the working capital to the Group, we are of the view that the implementation of the Open Offer and the Share Subscriptions under the Framework Agreement are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

5.4. Dilution effect to existing public Shareholders

As illustrated in the section headed “Change in shareholding structure of the Company” set out in the “Letter from the Provisional Liquidators” of the Circular, the shareholding of the existing public Shareholders would reduce from approximately 79.87% to the possible lowest shareholding of approximately 11.98% under Scenario B which assumed none of the Qualifying Shareholders takes up its entitlement to the Offer Shares under the Open Offer.

Referring to the section headed “Market comparable analysis on the Offer Price” under section 5.2 “The Open Offer” above, we have reviewed the dilution effect to the shareholding of the existing public shareholders of the Market Comparables under their respective restructuring proposals and considered that the dilution effect of the Proposed Restructuring is reasonable as compared with the Market Comparables.

In addition to the above, we are of the view that the dilution effect on the shareholding of the existing Independent Shareholders is acceptable as far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned after having considered (i) the completion of the Proposed Restructuring including but not limited to the Capital Reorganisation, the Open Offer, the Share Subscriptions and the placing of the Management Placing Shares forms part of the conditions of the Resumption; (ii) as mentioned under paragraph 1 “Background information of the Group and the Proposed Restructuring” above, if the conditions for the Resumption could not be fulfilled by 29 November 2017, it is possible that the Stock Exchange may eventually cancel the listing of the Shares; (iii) the Offer Price, the Investor Share Subscription Agreement and the Tongfang Share Subscription Agreement are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; (iv) the proceeds from the Open Offer and the Share Subscriptions will provide funding for the Scheme Cash Consideration, the repayment of amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Loan Agreement and the working capital to the Group; and (v) following completion of the Proposed Restructuring, the Group would return to a net current asset position as illustrated in the “Unaudited pro forma financial information to the Group” as set out in Appendix II to the Circular.

– 107 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

5.5. Financial effects of the Proposed Restructuring

(a) Net assets

According to the “Unaudited pro forma financial information to the Group” as set out in Appendix II to the Circular, assuming the Proposed Restructuring had been completed on 31 March 2017, the Group’s financial position would improve as the net assets would increase from approximately US$1.93 million to approximately US$13.50 million. Such increase in net assets would be mainly due to (i) the increase in cash and bank balances; (ii) the decrease in interest-bearing bank borrowings and trust receipt loans; and (iii) offset by the decrease in interest in an associate and trade and factoring receivables.

(b) Gearing position

As at 31 March 2017, the Group had total assets of approximately US$91.14 million and total liabilities of approximately US$89.20 million. The debt to asset ratio of the Group was approximately 97.88%, being the total liabilities divided by total assets. According to the “Unaudited pro forma financial information to the Group” as set out in Appendix II to the Circular, assuming the Proposed Restructuring had been completed on 31 March 2017, the Group would have total assets of approximately US$17.95 million and total liabilities of approximately US$4.46 million. Accordingly, the debt to asset ratio of the Group would be reduced to approximately 24.82%.

(c) Working capital

According to the “Unaudited pro forma financial information to the Group” as set out in Appendix II to the Circular, assuming the Proposed Restructuring had been completed on 31 March 2017, the Group’s net current position would improve from net current liabilities of approximately US$11.00 million to net current assets of approximately US$13.43 million. Such improvement would be mainly due to (i) the increase in cash and bank balances; (ii) the decrease in interest-bearing bank borrowings and trust receipt loans; and (iii) offset by the decrease in trade and factoring receivables. Besides, the cash and bank balances would also increase from approximately US$3.87 million to approximately US$13.38 million. Therefore, the working capital position of the Group will be substantially improved after the Proposed Restructuring.

According to the “Financial information of the Group” as set out in Appendix I to the Circular, the Provisional Liquidators, after due and careful enquiry, are of the opinion that in the absence of unforeseen circumstances, subject to completion of the Capital Reorganisation, the Open Offer, the Share Subscriptions and the Schemes, and taking into account of the financial resources available to the Group, the Group has sufficient working capital for its normal business for at least the twelve months from the date of the Circular.

5.6. Section summary

Based on the above and having considered in particular that:

  • (i) the Share Consolidation and the Increase in Authorised Share Capital will provide flexibility for equity fund raising of the Company in the future, including the Share Subscriptions and the Open Offer;

– 108 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  • (ii) the Subscription Price, which is the same as the Offer Price, has been determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company, Alpha Professional and Tongfang Asset Management and is fair and reasonable;

  • (iii) the dilution effect of the Proposed Restructuring is reasonable and acceptable due to the reasons explained in paragraph 5.4 above; and

  • (iv) the Group’s net assets, gearing position and working capital would be improved upon completion of the Proposed Restructuring,

we are of the view that the Proposed Restructuring as contemplated under the Framework Agreement, in particular, the Capital Reorganisation and the Share Subscriptions, are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

6. The Whitewash Waiver as a condition of the Share Subscriptions

Shareholders should note that the Share Subscriptions is conditional on, among other things, (i) the Independent Shareholders having approved the Whitewash Waiver at the SGM; and (ii) the Executive having granted to the Investor Group the Whitewash Waiver, which cannot be waived. The approval of the Whitewash Waiver by the Independent Shareholders will be therefore necessary for the Group to proceed to completion of the steps under the Proposed Restructuring and eventually Resumption. The Whitewash Waiver is needed to accommodate the amount of capital to be raised under the Share Subscriptions, to facilitate the implementation of the Schemes and Completion, and most importantly fulfilling the conditions imposed by the Listing Committee, whereby the shares of the Company shall then be resumed for trading.

Shareholders should note that if the Whitewash Waiver is not approved by the Independent Shareholders, the Share Subscriptions will not become unconditional and the Company will not proceed with the Share Subscriptions. If the Group is unable to obtain proceeds the Share Subscriptions, the Group will not have sufficient funding to carry out some of the steps under the Proposed Restructuring. In other words, the transactions contemplated under the Framework Agreement will not be able to complete.

In light of (i) the reasons for the Share Subscriptions and the intended use of the net proceeds therefrom; and (ii) the terms of the Share Subscriptions being fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned, we are of the opinion that the approval for the Whitewash Waiver, which is a condition for completion of the Share Subscriptions, and in turn is crucial for the implementation of the Proposed Restructuring and completion of the transactions contemplated under the Framework Agreement as well as the fulfilment of the conditions for Resumption, is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and is fair and reasonable for the purpose of proceeding with the Share Subscriptions.

– 109 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

RECOMMENDATION

In view of the above principal factors and reasons for the Proposed Restructuring and the Whitewash Waiver, in particular:

  • (i) the Open Offer will provide an opportunity to the Shareholders to participate in the Proposed Restructuring and business development of the Group and will reduce the dilutive effect of the Share Subscriptions on the shareholding of the Shareholders;

  • (ii) the proceeds from the Open Offer and the Share Subscriptions will provide funding for the Scheme Cash Consideration, the repayment of amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Loan Agreement and raise additional working capital of the Group;

  • (iii) the Company may be delisted from the Stock Exchange and the Company may be forced to be wound up if the Framework Agreement is not implemented;

  • (iv) the overall positive financial effect upon completion of the Proposed Restructuring; and

  • (v) the approval of the Whitewash Waiver by the Independent Shareholders is one of the conditions precedent to the Share Subscriptions, which in turn enable the fulfilment of the conditions for the Resumption,

we are of the view that the terms of the Proposed Restructuring as contemplated under the Framework Agreement, in particular, the Capital Reorganisation and the Share Subscriptions, and the Whitewash Waiver are fair and reasonable, and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Shareholders, as well as the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders, to vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Proposed Restructuring as contemplated under the Framework Agreement, in particular, the Capital Reorganisation and the Share Subscriptions, and the Whitewash Waiver.

Delisting of Taiwan Depositary Receipts

The Company’s Taiwan Depositary Receipts (the “TDRs”) were listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (the “TWSE”) on 3 December 2010. The TDRs were sold and traded on the Taiwan stock market in the same way as other stocks listed on the Taiwan stock market. The TDRs provide holders to an entitlement to 80,000,000 underlying Shares that are held in custody by a custodian bank. The 80,000,000 underlying Shares comprise 40,000,000 new shares of the Company and 40,000,000 existing shares held by certain owners of the Company.

On 2 July 2014, the TWSE issued a letter to the Company stating that the TDRs of the Company would be delisted if the shares of the Company could not resume trading on the Stock Exchange after 6 months of the suspension of trading in Taiwan (i.e. 4 July 2014). Eventually, the Company was advised by the TWSE that the TDRs of the Company would be delisted on 1 March 2015 in accordance with the Operating Rules of the TWSE. Following the delisting of the TDRs in TWSE, it was recognised that the total issued TDRs in Taiwan as at 1 March 2015 amount to 61,529,000.

The Company’s shares have been listed on the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) and the Main Board of the Stock Exchange since 21 November 2007 and 1 March 2010, respectively. Since 3 December 2010, 80,000,000 units of Taiwan Depositary Receipts (“TDRs”), comprising 40,000,000 new shares of the Company and 40,000,000 existing shares held by certain owners of the Company, have been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (the “TWSE”). With effect from 14 June 2013, the Company converted its listing status on the SGX-ST to secondary listing whilst the primary listing status on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange remains unchanged.

For the year ended 31 March 2015

2.1 STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

Except for the matters referred to in note 2.2, including the omission of a consolidated statement of cash flows and disclosures as required under International Financial Reporting Standards (the “IFRSs”), Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”), these financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs, which collective term includes all applicable individual IFRSs, International Accounting Standards (the “IASs”) and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, which for this financial year and the comparative period, as permitted by the Listing Rules continue to be those of the predecessor Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 32). These financial statements also comply with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Listing Rules. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the Group is set out below.

The IASB has issued certain new and revised IFRSs which are first effective or available for early adoption for the current accounting period of the Group and the Company. Note 2.3 provides information on any changes in accounting policies resulting from the initial application of these developments to the extent that they are relevant to the Group for the current and prior accounting periods reflected in these consolidated financial statements.

2.2 BASIS OF PREPARATION

Going concern

The Group incurred a loss attributable to the owners of the Company of US$50,475,462 for the year ended 31 March 2015 and net current liabilities of US$12,680,036 as at 31 March 2015. In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Directors of the Company have given careful consideration to the impact of the current and anticipated future liquidity of the Group and the Company and the ability of the Group and the Company to attain profit and positive cash flows from operations in the immediate and longer term.

Based on the cash flow projections of the Group and having taken into account the assumption that the proposed restructuring of the Company, as mention below, will be successfully completed, the Directors have concluded that the Group and the Company is able to continue as a going concern and to meet their financial liabilities as and when they fall due in the foreseeable future.

Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made to restate the values of assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise and to classify non-current assets and liabilities as current assets and liabilities respectively. The effects of these potential adjustments have not been reflected in these consolidated financial statements.

Winding up petition and suspension of trading of the shares of the Company

On 4 April 2014, ANZ presented winding-up petitions to the High Court for the winding-up of the Company and Max Sunny, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

On the same day, summonses were filed with the High Court seeking the appointment of provisional liquidators to the Company and Max Sunny. The petitions and summonses were also supported by HSBC. Following the presentation of the petitions, the Company and Max Sunny engaged in negotiations with ANZ, with the view to reaching a settlement in respect of the petitions and summonses.

On 2 May 2014, the Company and Max Sunny agreed on principle terms of settlement. On 7 May 2014, the Deed was entered into between ANZ, HSBC, the Company and Max Sunny in full and final settlement of the loans due to ANZ and HSBC. The Deed provided for an agreed amount to be paid to each of ANZ and HSBC in five instalments. Upon full compliance of the Deed by the Company and Max Sunny, ANZ would apply to the High Court for the withdrawal or dismissal of the winding-up petitions.

The winding-up petitions were further adjourned to 2 July 2014 and the applications for the appointment of provisional liquidators were adjourned on terms that allowed ANZ to restore the applications on an urgent basis and without objection from the Company and Max Sunny in the event that the Company and Max Sunny failed to meet their obligations under the Deed.

On 6 June 2014, the Company and Max Sunny failed to pay the third instalment due in accordance with the Deed. On 16 June 2014, the applications for appointment of provisional liquidators were restored on an urgent basis and the High Court provided notices to the Company and Max Sunny that the applications would be heard on 27 June 2014.

At the hearing of 27 June 2014 the High Court handed down orders appointing Yat Kit Jong and Donald Edward Osborn as the Joint and Several Provisional Liquidators of the Company and Max Sunny. Accordingly, trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange was suspended at 2:37pm on 27 June 2014 at the request of the Company,

As mentioned above, trading in the Company’s shares on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange has been suspended since 27 June 2014.

Since their appointment, the Provisional Liquidators have been investigating into the affairs of the Group and have taken all necessary actions to preserve the assets. The Provisional Liquidators have also gathered information relating to the status of the Group through meetings with various parties, including but not limited to Ms. Yang Jian Hui (the executive director and the Chief Financial Officer of the Group) and various former employees.

2.2 BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

Proposed restructuring of the Group

Given the situation of the Group, the Provisional Liquidators with the assistance of Asian Capital (Corporate Finance) Limited which acted as the financial adviser to the Company, sought to identify potential investors with a view to restructuring the Company and submitting a viable resumption proposal to the Stock Exchange.

As announced by the Company on 24 July 2014, the Company received a letter from the Stock Exchange, which stated that in view of the Court Order and the appointment of the Provisional Liquidators, the Stock Exchange considered that the Company might have serious financial difficulties. As the Company had not published the annual results for the year ended 31 March 2014, the Stock Exchange was unable to assess the performance and financial position of the Company. Further it was unclear as to the operating status of the Company and whether the Company still had sufficient level of assets and operations to fulfil the requirement under Rule 13.24 of the Listing Rules. The Stock Exchange therefore decided to place the Company in the first delisting stage under Practice Note 17 of the Listing Rules due to the Company’s failure to comply with Rule 13.24 of the Listing Rules. The Company was required to submit a viable resumption proposal, which could, among others, demonstrate its compliance with Rule 13.24 of the Listing Rules, at least 10 business days before the expiry of the first delisting stage, i.e. 15 January 2015.

As no resumption proposal was submitted before the expiry date of the first delisting stage, the Company received a letter from the Stock Exchange dated 20 January 2015. In the letter, the Stock Exchange informed the Company that it had been placed in the second stage of delisting procedures commencing on 20 January 2015 pursuant to Practice Note 17 to the Listing Rules. The Company was required to submit a viable resumption proposal 10 business days before the second delisting stage expires i.e. on or before 3 July 2015, which should meet the following conditions:

  1. demonstrate sufficient operations or assets to comply with Rule 13.24;

  2. address auditors’ qualifications and demonstrate adequate internal control system; and

  3. withdraw and/or dismiss the winding-up petition against the Company and discharge the Provisional Liquidators.

2.2 BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

Proposed restructuring of the Group (continued)

On 5 June 2015, the Company, the Provisional Liquidators and an investor entered into a framework agreement, which was subsequently amended and restated by an amendment and restatement framework agreement dated 5 October 2015, pursuant to which the parties agreed on the principal terms of a proposed restructuring of the Group with a view to resume trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange. A proposal setting out details of the proposed restructuring together with the basis for the resumption of trading in the Shares (the “Resumption Proposal”) was prepared and submitted to the Stock Exchange on 19 July 2015. However, without raising any question or query on the Resumption Proposal, the Listing Division of the Stock Exchange notified the Company on 31 July 2015 that it considered that the Resumption Proposal had not satisfactorily demonstrated sufficiency of operations or assets as required under Rule 13.24 of the Listing Rules and it would recommend the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange (the “Listing Committee”) to place the Company in the third delisting stage.

Pursuant to a letter dated 14 August 2015 from the Stock Exchange, the Listing Committee considered that the Resumption Proposal was not viable and decided to place the Company in the third delisting stage under Practice Note 17 to the Listing Rules (the “Ruling”). In arriving at the above decision, the Listing Committee had considered that, among others, the business of the Company in the Resumption Proposal was insufficient to justify the Company’s continued listing.

The Company disagrees with the Ruling and on 18 August 2015 formally requested the Listing Committee to provide detailed written reasons for the Ruling. On 24 August 2015, the Company also submitted a formal request to the Stock Exchange for a review of the Ruling by the Listing (Review) Committee of the Stock Exchange. A review hearing of the Ruling is scheduled to be held on 17 December 2015. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company when there are material developments as appropriate.

As of the date of this report, the management has used its best effort, to the extent commercially practicable, to reconstruct the accounting records of the Group for the years ended 31 March 2014 and 31 March 2015, applying their best estimates and judgement based on the information of the Group that are available to the management. However, given the loss of some books and records and serious doubts over the reliability of the Group’s accounting and other records, the Board believes that, as at the date of the report, it is almost impossible, and not practical, to ascertain the correct revenue and profit or loss (and the resultant assets and liabilities) for the current year for inclusion in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. Also, due to loss of some books and records, the Board believes that it is almost impossible, and not practical, to verify the financial information as reported in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for past years. Due to insufficient information available to the Directors of the Company, the consolidated financial statements do not contain a consolidated statement of cash flows as required by IAS 7, Statement of Cash Flows.

2.2 BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

Proposed restructuring of the Group (continued)

Any adjustments arising from the matters described above would have a consequential significant effect on the net loss of the Group for the years ended 31 March 2014 and 31 March 2015 and net assets of the Group as at 31 March 2014 and 31 March 2015.

Due to the limited information available and most of the former key accounting personnel of the Group have left without notice, the Directors were unable to obtain sufficient documentary information to satisfy themselves regarding the completeness of books and records and the treatment of various balances as included in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended 31 March 2014 and 31 March 2015 and have formed the opinion as follows:

As the consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the incomplete books and records available to the Company, the Directors of the Company are unable to represent that all transactions entered into by the Group for the years ended 31 March 2014 and 31 March 2015 have been properly reflected in the consolidated financial statements. In this connection, the Directors of the Company are also unable to represent as to the completeness, existence and accuracy of identification of the financial statements and the disclosures of the financial statements in accordance with IFRSs and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Listing Rules.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2015 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) and the Group’s interests in associates.

Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). These financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“USD”), rounded to the nearest dollar. United States dollar is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency.

The measurement basis used in the preparation of the financial statements is the historical cost basis except that the following assets and liabilities are stated at their fair value as explained in the accounting policies set out below:

  • financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

2.2 BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

Basis of consolidation (continued)

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying amounts of assets and liabilities not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Judgements made by management in the application of HKFRSs that have significant effect on the financial statements and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in note 3.

2.3 APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

The Group has adopted the following new and revised Standards, Amendments and Interpretations (“new and revised IFRSs”) that are first effective for the current accounting period.

Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27 (2011) Investment Entities
Amendments to IAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
Amendments to IAS 36 Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets
Amendments to IAS 39 Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting
IFRIC 21 Levies

The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period. Impacts of the adoption of the new and revised IFRSs are immaterial.

The Group early adopted the amendments to IAS 36 in the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2014. The application of other new and revised standards and interpretations in the current year has had no material impact on the Group’s financial performance and positions for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.

2.4 SUMMARy OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity), directly or indirectly, controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee (that is, existing rights that give the Group the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).

When the Company has, directly or indirectly, less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

  • (a) the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;

  • (b) rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

  • (c) the Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The results of subsidiaries are included in the Company’s statement of profit or loss to the extent of dividends received and receivable. The Company’s investments in subsidiaries that are not classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 are stated at cost less any impairment losses.

Investments in associates

An associate is an entity, in which the Group has a long term interest of generally not less than 20% of the equity voting rights and over which it is in a position to exercise significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies.

The Group’s investments in associates are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at the Group’s share of net assets under the equity method of accounting, less any impairment losses.

Investments in associates (continued)

The Group’s share of the post-acquisition results and other comprehensive income of associates is included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, respectively. In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associates, the Group recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s investments in associates, except where unrealised losses provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Goodwill arising from the acquisition of associates is included as part of the Group’s investments in associates.

The results of associates are included in the Company’s statement of profit or loss to the extent of dividends received and receivable. The Company’s investments in associates are treated as non-current assets and are stated at cost less any impairment losses.

When an investment in an associate is classified as held for sale, it is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

Business combinations and goodwill

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred is measured at the acquisition date fair value which is the sum of the acquisition date fair values of assets transferred by the Group, liabilities assumed by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of net assets in the event of liquidation at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other components of non-controlling interests are measured at fair value. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the previously held equity interest is remeasured at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Business combinations and goodwill (continued)

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of IAS 39 is measured at fair value with changes in fair value either recognised in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is not within the scope of IAS39, it is measured in accordance with the appropriate IFRS. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured and subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount recognised for non-controlling interests and any fair value of the Group’s previously held equity interests in the acquiree over the identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the sum of this consideration and other items is lower than the fair value of the net assets acquired, the difference is, after reassessment, recognised in profit or loss as a gain on bargain purchase.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The Group performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as at 31 March. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units.

Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cashgenerating units) to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

When goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on the disposal. Goodwill disposed of in these circumstances is measured based on the relative value of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cashgenerating unit retained.

Fair value measurement

The Group measures its investment properties and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 – based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

  • Level 2 – based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is observable, either directly or indirectly

  • Level 3 – based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Where an indication of impairment exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required (other than inventories and financial assets), the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss is recognised only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is charged to the statement of profit or loss in the period in which it arises in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period as to whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss of an asset other than goodwill is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of that asset, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any depreciation/ amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of such an impairment loss is credited to the statement of profit or loss in the period in which it arises.

Property, plant and equipment and depreciation

Property, plant and equipment, other than construction in progress, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use.

Expenditure incurred after items of property, plant and equipment have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, is normally charged to the statement of profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. In situations where the recognition criteria are satisfied, the expenditure for a major inspection is capitalised in the carrying amount of the asset as a replacement. Where significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciates them accordingly.

Property, plant and equipment and depreciation (continued)

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off the cost of each item of property, plant and equipment to its residual value over its estimated useful life. The principal annual rates used for this purpose are as follows:

Land and buildings 5%
Leasehold improvements 20%
Plant and machinery 10%
Furniture, fixtures and equipment 20%
Motor vehicles 20%

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of that item is allocated on a reasonable basis among the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at least at the end of each financial period.

An item of property, plant and equipment including any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal or retirement recognised in the statement of profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset.

Construction in progress represents a building under construction, which is stated at cost less any impairment losses, and is not depreciated. Cost comprises the direct costs of construction and capitalised borrowing costs on related borrowed funds during the period of construction. Construction in progress is reclassified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for use.

Intangible assets (other than goodwill)

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is the fair value at the date of acquisition. The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed to be either finite or indefinite. Intangible assets with finite lives are subsequently amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each financial year end.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. Such intangible assets are not amortised. The useful life of an intangible asset with an indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life assessment continues to be supportable. If not, the change in the useful life assessment from indefinite to finite is accounted for on a prospective basis.

Research and development costs

All research costs are charged to the statement of profit or loss as incurred.

Expenditure incurred on projects to develop new products is capitalised and deferred only when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the project and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during the development. Product development expenditure which does not meet these criteria is expensed when incurred.

Deferred development costs are stated at cost less any impairment losses and are amortised using the straightline basis over the commercial lives of the underlying products not exceeding ten years, commencing from the date when the products are put into commercial production.

Leases

Leases that transfer substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets to the Group, other than legal title, are accounted for as finance leases. At the inception of a finance lease, the cost of the leased asset is capitalised at the present value of the minimum lease payments and recorded together with the obligation, excluding the interest element, to reflect the purchase and financing. Assets held under capitalised finance leases, including prepaid land lease payments under financial leases, are included in property, plant and equipment, and depreciated over the shorter of lease terms and the estimated useful lives of the assets. The finance costs of such leases are charged to the statement of profit or loss so as to provide a constant periodic rate of charge over the lease terms.

Assets acquired through hire purchase contracts of a financing nature are accounted for as finance leases, but are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Where the Group is the lessor, assets leased by the Group under operating leases are included in non-current assets, and rentals receivable under the operating leases are credited to the statement of profit or loss on the straight-line basis over the lease terms. Where the Group is the lessee, rentals payable under the operating leases are charged to the statement of profit or loss on the straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Prepaid land lease payments under operating leases are initially stated at cost and subsequently recognised on the straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Investments and other financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial investments, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets, except in the case of financial assets recorded at fair value through profit or loss.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, that is, the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of sale in the near term. At the end of each reporting period the fair value is remeasured, with any resultant gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the date of initial recognition and only if the criteria in IAS 39 are satisfied.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less any allowance for impairment. Amortised cost is calculated taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and includes fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in other income and gains in the statement of profit or loss.

Subsequent measurement (continued)

Available-for-sale financial investments

Available-for-sale financial investments are non-derivative financial assets in listed and unlisted equity investments and debt securities. Equity investments classified as available for sale are those which are neither classified as held for trading nor designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Debt securities in this category are those which are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time and which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or in response to changes in market conditions.

After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial investments are subsequently measured at fair value, with unrealised gains or losses recognised as other comprehensive income in the available-for-sale investment revaluation reserve until the investment is derecognised, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss in other income, or until the investment is determined to be impaired, when the cumulative gain or loss is reclassified from the available-for-sale investment revaluation reserve to the statement of profit or loss in other gains or losses. Interest and dividends earned whilst holding the available-for-sale financial investments are reported as interest income and dividend income, respectively and are recognised in the statement of profit or loss as other income in accordance with the policies set out for “Revenue recognition” below.

When the fair value of unlisted equity investments cannot be reliably measured because (a) the variability in the range of reasonable fair value estimates is significant for that investment or (b) the probabilities of the various estimates within the range cannot be reasonably assessed and used in estimating fair value, such investments are stated at cost less any impairment losses.

The Group evaluates whether the ability and intention to sell its available-for-sale financial assets in the near term are still appropriate. When, in rare circumstances, the Group is unable to trade these financial assets due to inactive markets, the Group may elect to reclassify these financial assets if management has the ability and intention to hold the assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity.

For a financial asset reclassified from the available-for-sale category, the fair value carrying amount at the date of reclassification becomes its new amortised cost and any previous gain or loss on that asset that has been recognised in equity is amortised to profit or loss over the remaining life of the investment using the effective interest rate. Any difference between the new amortised cost and the maturity amount is also amortised over the remaining life of the asset using the effective interest rate. If the asset is subsequently determined to be impaired, then the amount recorded in equity is reclassified to the statement of profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is primarily derecognised (that is, removed from the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position) when:

  • the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

  • the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset, or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risk and rewards of ownership of the asset. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred the control of the asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement. In this case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. An impairment exists if one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that a debtor or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter into bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

Financial assets carried at amortised cost

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Group first assesses whether impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

2.4 SUMMARy OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Impairment of financial assets (continued)

Financial assets carried at amortised cost (continued)

The amount of any impairment loss identified is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (that is, the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition).

The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss. Interest income continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount and is accrued using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. Loans and receivables together with any associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realised or has been transferred to the Group.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a write-off is later recovered, the recovery is credited to other expenses in the statement of profit or loss.

Assets carried at cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value because its fair value cannot be reliably measured, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Impairment losses on these assets are not reversed.

Available-for-sale financial investments

For available-for-sale financial investments, the Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that an investment or a group of investments is impaired.

If an available-for-sale asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in the statement of profit or loss, is removed from other comprehensive income and recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets (continued)

Available-for-sale financial investments (continued)

In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, objective evidence would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment below its cost. “Significant” is evaluated against the original cost of the investment and “prolonged” against the period in which the fair value has been below its original cost. Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognised in the statement of profit or loss – is removed from other comprehensive income and recognised in the statement of profit or loss. Impairment losses on equity instruments classified as available for sale are not reversed through the statement of profit or loss. Increases in their fair value after impairment are recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and bills payables, accruals and other payables, interest-bearing bank borrowings, trust receipt loan and finance lease payables.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:

Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the effective interest rate amortisation process.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled, or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and a recognition of a new liability, and the difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Inventories

Inventories represent trading merchandise and direct costs incurred for IT contract work in progress and are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on the weighted average basis and, in the case of work in progress and finished goods, comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling prices less any estimated costs to be incurred to completion and disposal.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and short term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and have a short maturity of generally within three months when acquired, less bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management.

For the purpose of the statement of financial position, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and at banks, including term deposits, and assets similar in nature to cash, which are not restricted as to use.

Provisions

A provision is recognised when a present obligation (legal or constructive) has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the effect of discounting is material, the amount recognised for a provision is the present value at the end of the reporting period of the future expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The increase in the discounted present value amount arising from the passage of time is included in finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.

Income tax

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, taking into consideration interpretations and practices prevailing in the countries in which the Group operates.

Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:

  • when the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:

  • when the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Income tax (continued)

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and when the revenue can be measured reliably, on the following bases:

  • (a) from the sale of goods, when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, provided that the Group maintains neither managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership, nor effective control over the goods sold;

  • (b) from the rendering of services, on the percentage of completion basis, as further explained in the accounting policy for “Contract for services” below;

  • (c) IT training services income, when the services are provided;

  • (d) rental income, on a time proportion basis over the lease terms;

  • (e) interest income, on an accrual basis using the effective interest method by applying the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, when appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset; and

  • (f) dividend income, when the shareholders’ right to receive payment has been established.

Contracts for services

Contract revenue on the rendering of services comprises the agreed contract amount. Costs of rendering services comprise labour and other costs of personnel directly engaged in providing the services and attributable overheads.

Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised based on the percentage of completion of the transaction, provided that the revenue, the costs incurred and the estimated costs to completion can be measured reliably. The percentage of completion is established by reference to the costs incurred to date as compared to the total costs to be incurred under the transaction. Where the outcome of a contract cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that the expenses incurred are eligible to be recovered.

Provision is made for foreseeable losses as soon as they are anticipated by management.

Where contract costs incurred to date plus recognised profits less recognised losses exceed progress billings, the surplus is treated as an amount due from contract customers. Where progress billings exceed contract costs incurred to date plus recognised profits less recognised losses, the surplus is treated as an amount due to contract customers.

Share-based payments

The Company operates a share option scheme for the purpose of providing incentives and rewards to eligible participants who contribute to the success of the Group’s operations. Employees (including directors) of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (“equity-settled transactions”).

The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees for grants after 7 November 2002 is measured by reference to the fair value at the date on which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a binomial model, further details of the share option scheme which are given in note 29 to the financial statements.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefit expense. The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at the end of each reporting period until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The charge or credit to the statement of profit or loss for a period represents the movement in the cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

Share-based payments (continued)

No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for equity-settled transactions where vesting is conditional upon a market or non-vesting condition, which are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payments, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. This includes any award where non vesting conditions within the control of either the Group or the employee are not met. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and is designated as a replacement award on the date it is granted, the cancelled and new awards are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.

Employee benefits

Pension scheme

The employees of the Group’s operation in Mainland China are required to participate in a central pension scheme operated by the local municipal government. The Group is required to contribute certain percentage of its payroll costs to the central pension scheme. The contributions are charged to the statements of profit or loss as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the central pension scheme.

The Group operates a defined contribution Mandatory Provident Fund retirement benefits scheme (the “MPF Scheme”) under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance for all of its employees in Hong Kong. Contributions are made based on a percentage of the employees’ basic salaries and are charged to the statement of profit or loss as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the MPF Scheme. The assets of the MPF Scheme are held separately from those of the Group in an independently administered fund. The Group’s employer contributions vest fully with the employees when contributed into the MPF Scheme.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, that is assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. The capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs capitalised. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Dividends

Final dividends proposed by the directors are classified as a separate allocation of retained profits within the equity section of the statement of financial position, until they have been approved by the shareholders in a general meeting. When these dividends have been declared and approved by the shareholders, they are recognised as a liability.

Foreign currencies

These financial statements are presented in United Stated Dollars (“US$”), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Foreign currency transactions recorded by the entities in the Group are initially recorded using their respective functional currency rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rates of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period. Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in the statements of profit or loss.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was measured. The gain or loss arising from translation of a non-monetary item measured of fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on changes in fair value of the item (that is translation differences on the item whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss is also recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss, respectively).

The functional currencies of certain overseas subsidiaries and associates are currencies other than US$. As at the end of the reporting period, the assets and liabilities of these entities are translated into the presentation currency of the Company at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period and their statements of profit or loss are translated into US$ at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. The resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve. On the disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and their accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities affected in the future.

Judgements

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Operating lease commitments – Group as lessor

The Group has entered into commercial property leases on its investment property portfolio. The Group has determined, based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, that it retains all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties which are leased out on operating leases.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES (continued)

Estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below.

Impairment of interests in subsidiaries and associates

The Company assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment for interests in subsidiaries and associates at the end of each reporting period. Interests in subsidiaries and associates are tested for impairment when there are indicators that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. When value in use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future cash flows from the asset and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

Impairment of goodwill

The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated. Estimating the value in use requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash-generating units and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The carrying amount of goodwill at 31 March 2015 was US$Nil (2014: US$Nil). Further details are given in note 14.

Impairment on trade and other receivables

The policy for impairment allowances on trade and other receivables of the Group is based on the evaluation of collectability and aging analysis of accounts and on management’s judgement. A considerable amount of judgement is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each customer. If the financial conditions of customers of the Group were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

The management of the Group reviews an aging analysis of inventories at the end of each reporting period, and makes provision for obsolete and slow-moving inventory items identified that are no longer suitable for sales. The management estimates the net realisable value for such inventories based primarily on the latest invoice prices and current market conditions. The Group carries out an inventory review on a product-by-product basis at the end of each reporting period and makes allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Impairment of non-financial assets (other than goodwill)

The Group assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment for all non-financial assets at the end of each reporting period. Non-financial assets are tested for impairment when there are indicators that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or a cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. When value in use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future cash flows from the asset or cash-generating unit and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

Useful lives of intangible assets

The Group assesses whether the intangible assets are of finite useful lives at the end of each reporting period. In determining useful lives of intangible assets, the Group has considered various factors, such as expected usage of the asset, expected period of future economic benefit and legal or similar limits on the use of the asset. The estimation of the useful lives of the intangible assets is based on the experience of the Group with similar intangible assets that generate similar future economic benefits. Additional amortisation is made if the estimated useful lives of intangible assets are different from previous estimation. Useful lives are reviewed at each financial year end date based on changes in circumstances.

7. DIRECTORS’ EMOLUMENTS AND CHIEF EXECUTIVES’ REMUNERATION

(continued)

Note:

  • (a) The Group operates a Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme (the “MPF Scheme”) under the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance for all qualifying employees in Hong Kong. The MPF scheme is a defined contribution retirement plan administered by independent trustees. Under the MPF scheme, the employer and its employees are each required to make contributions to the plan at 5% of the employees’ relevant income, subject to a cap of monthly relevant income of HK$30,000 (HK$25,000 prior to June 2014). Contributions to the plan vest immediately.

The employees of the Group’s subsidiaries established in the PRC are members of a central pension scheme operated by the local municipal government. These subsidiaries are required to contribute certain percentage of the employees’ basic salaries and wages to the central pension scheme to fund the retirement benefits. The local municipal governments undertake to assume the retirement benefits obligations of all existing and future retired employees of these subsidiaries. The only obligation of these subsidiaries with respect to the central pension scheme is to meet the required contributions under the scheme.

8. INCOME TAX

Hong Kong profits tax has been provided at the rate of 16.5% (2014: 16.5%) on the estimated assessable profits arising in Hong Kong during the year. Taxes on profits assessable elsewhere have been calculated at the rates of tax prevailing in the countries (or jurisdictions) in which the Group operates.

PRC Enterprise Income Tax is calculated at 25% based on the new PRC Enterprise Income Tax law passed by the Tenth National People’s Congress on 16 March 2007.

According to the current applicable laws of the Macau, Macau Complementary Tax is calculated at a progressive rate from 9% to 12% on the estimated assessable profits for the year with first two hundred thousand patacas (“MOP”) assessable profits being free from tax. However, VIM Technology Macao Commercial Offshore Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, was in compliance with the Decree-Law No. 58/99/M of the Macau and thus, the profits generated by the subsidiary was exempted from the Macau Complementary Tax. Further, in the opinion of the Directors, that portion of the Group’s profit is not at present subject to taxation in any other jurisdictions in which the Group operates.

The calculation of basic loss per share attributable to owners of the Company is based on the loss for the year attributable to owners of the Company of US$50,475,462 (loss of 2014: US$78,676,374) and the weighted average number of 762,687,662 (2014: 705,573,426) ordinary shares in issue during the year.

17. INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES (continued)

According to the laws and regulations in the PRC, a foreign investor is not allowed to acquire 100% equity interest in the advertising enterprise in the PRC, such as Shenzhen Jingying, unless such foreign investor is a qualified foreign funded advertising enterprise. All group companies now comprising Noosa Group are not qualified as a foreign funded advertising enterprise.

To comply with laws and regulations of the PRC that restrict foreign ownership of companies that operate advertising and media businesses as detailed above, Noosa Group engages in such restricted business in the PRC through entering into a set of agreements (the “Structured Agreements”) with Shenzhen Jingying. Details of the Structured Agreements are disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 10 August 2012.

Based on the Structured Agreements, the Directors have exercised judgements and determined that, notwithstanding the lack of equity ownership, Noosa Group has in substance obtained the control over the 100% equity interest of Shenzhen Jingying and Shenzhen Jingying should be classified as a subsidiary of Noosa Group.

As disclosed in note 2.2, on the basis that the relevant books and records are either lost or are incomplete, no representation is made by the Board as to the completeness, existence and accuracy of the investment in associates of the Group as of the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements.

Note: On 12 September 2013, the Company has entered into ten separate subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with ten subscribers (the “Subscribers”), one of the Subscribers is an existing shareholder holding an aggregate of approximately 0.38% of the existing issued share capital of the Company. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Subscribers have agreed to subscribe for an aggregate 127,114,000 new ordinary shares in the Company at a price of HK$0.80 per share, with total gross proceeds of HK$101,691,200, after the deduction of the related expenses of HK$780,000, was HK$100,911,200, intended to be applied as the Group’s general working capital.

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and to maximise the return to the owners through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.

The Group sets the amount of capital in proportion to risk. The Group manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the payment of dividends, issue new shares, buy-back shares, raise new debts, redeem existing debts or sell assets to reduce debts.

The Group monitors capital on the basis of the debt-to-adjusted capital ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by adjusted capital. Net debt is calculated as total debts plus unaccrued proposed dividends less cash and cash equivalents. Adjusted capital comprises all components of equity (that is, share capital, share premium, accumulated losses, other reserves and any non-controlling interests) less unaccrued proposed dividends and includes some forms of subordinated debts.

29. SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The Company operates a share option scheme 2010 (the “2010 Scheme”) for the purpose of providing incentives and rewards to eligible participants who contribute to the success of the Group’s operations. Eligible participants of the Scheme include the Group’s directors, including independent non-executive directors, confirmed employees of the Group, the controlling shareholders and their associates. The Scheme became effective on 11 February 2010 and, unless otherwise cancelled or amended, will remain in force for 10 years from that date.

The maximum number of unexercised share options currently permitted to be granted under the 2010 Scheme is an amount equivalent, upon their exercise, to 10% of the shares of the Company in issue at any time. The maximum number of shares issuable under share options to each eligible participant in the 2010 Scheme within any 12-month period is limited to 1% of the shares of the Company in issue at any time. Any further grant of share options in excess of this limit is subject to shareholders’ approval in a general meeting.

29. SHARE OPTION SCHEME (continued)

Share options granted to a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company, or to any of their respective associates (including discretionary trust in which any Connected Persons are beneficiary), are subject to approval in advance by the independent non-executive directors. In addition, any share options granted to a substantial shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) or an independent nonexecutive director of the Company, or to any their respective associates, in excess of 0.1% of the shares of the Company in issue at any time or with an aggregate value (based on the price of the Company’s shares at the date of grant) in excess of HK$5 million, within any 12-month period, are subject to shareholders’ approval in advance in a general meeting.

The offer of a grant of share options may be accepted within 21 days from the date of offer, upon payment of a nominal consideration of HK$1 in total by the grantee. The grant of 2010 Scheme shall be made to a participant by letter in such form as the Remuneration Committee (“RC”), a committee of directors who are duly authorized and appointed by the Board to administer the 2010 Scheme for the time being pursuant to the Code of Corporate Governance under SGX Listing Manual, may from time to time determine.

Subject to the provisions of the 2010 Scheme, the Bermuda Companies Act, the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST and the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the RC may, when making the offer, impose any conditions, restrictions or limitations in relation thereto as it may at its absolute discretion think fit.

The exercise price of share options is determinable by the RC, but may not be less than the higher of (i) the closing price of the Company’s shares on a business day as stated in the daily quotations sheet issued by the Stock Exchange or the closing price of the Company’s shares as stated in the daily quotations sheet issued by the SGXST; (ii) the average closing prices of the Company’s shares as stated in the daily quotations sheets issued by the Stock Exchange or the average closing prices of the shares as stated in the daily quotations sheets issued by SGXST for the five consecutive business days immediately preceding the offer date; or (iii) the nominal value of a share on the offer date.

Under the 2010 Scheme, if the share options remain unexercised after a period of 10 years from 11 February 2010, the share options expire. Share options are forfeited if the employee leaves the Group before the share options vest. In the event that the grantee ceases to be a participant for any reason (other than on his death) including the termination of his employment or engagement on one or more of the grounds specified in the 2010 Scheme, the options granted to such grantee will lapse on the date of such cessation (to the extent not already exercised) and will not be exercisable unless the RC otherwise determines to grant an extension (which shall not be more than 1 month from the date of cessation) at the absolute discretion of the RC in which event the grantee may exercise the options within such period of extension.

31. EVENTS AFTER REPORTING PERIOD

Restructuring of the Group

On 28 April 2015, Alpha Professional Development Limited (the “Investor”), a third party independent of the Company and its connected persons (as defined under the Listing Rules) formally submitted an indicative restructuring proposal to the Provisional Liquidators. After arm’s negotiations among the parties, on 5 June 2015, the Company, the Provisional Liquidators and the Investor entered into a framework agreement dated 5 June 2015 and amended and restated framework agreement dated 5 October 2015 (the “Framework Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties have agreed on the principal terms of the proposed restructuring and the Investor has been granted a exclusivity period of 24 months from and inclusive of 3 July 2015 for the restructuring of the Group.

31. EVENTS AFTER REPORTING PERIOD (continued)

Restructuring of the Group (continued)

With the sanction from the High Court, Perfect Major Investment Limited (“Perfect Major”) and H K Rich Technology International Company Limited (“H K Rich Technology”), both of which are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, were set up after the appointment of the Provisional Liquidators for the purpose of restructuring and continuation of the business of the Group. The Investor and Perfect Major, on 5 June 2015 entered into a working capital facility agreement pursuant to which the Investor agreed to provide a working capital facility of up to HK$20,000,000 (“Working Capital Facility”) to Group for the continuation of its the business operations.

With a view to resume trading in its shares on the Stock Exchange, the Company submitted a resumption proposal (the “Resumption Proposal”) to the Stock Exchange on 19 July 2015. After the submission of the Resumption Proposal, the Listing Division of the Stock Exchange raised no question/query towards the Resumption Proposal but notified the Company on 31 July 2015 that it considered that the Resumption Proposal had not satisfactorily demonstrated sufficiency of operations or assets as required under Rule 13.24 of the Listing Rules and it would recommend the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange (the “Listing Committee”) to place the Company in the third delisting stage.

Pursuant to a letter dated 14 August 2015 from the Stock Exchange, the Listing Committee considered that the Resumption Proposal was not viable and decided to place the Company in the third delisting stage under Practice Note 17 to the Listing Rules (the “Ruling”). In arriving at the above decision, the Listing Committee had considered that, among others, the business of the Company in the Resumption Proposal was insufficient to justify the Company’s continued listing.

The Company disagrees with the Ruling and on 18 August 2015 formally requested the Listing Committee to provide detailed written reasons for the Ruling. On 24 August 2015, the Company also submitted a formal request to the Stock Exchange for a review of the Ruling by the Listing (Review) Committee of the Stock Exchange. A review hearing of the Ruling is scheduled to be held on 17 December 2015. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company when there are material developments as appropriate.

2.1 STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

Except for the matters referred to in note 2.2, including the omission of a consolidated statement of cash flows and disclosures as required under International Financial Reporting Standards (the “IFRSs”), Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”), these financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, which collective term includes all applicable individual IFRSs, International Accounting Standards (the “IASs”) and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and the applicable disclosure provisions of the Listing Rules. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the Group is set out below.

The IASB has issued certain new and revised IFRSs which are first effective or available for early adoption for the current accounting period of the Group and the Company. Note 2.3 provides information on any changes in accounting policies resulting from the initial application of these developments to the extent that they are relevant to the Group for the current and prior accounting periods reflected in these consolidated financial statements.

2.2 BASIS OF PREPARATION

Going concern

As at 31 March 2016, the Group had net current liabilities of US$12,305,569. In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Directors of the Company have given careful consideration to the impact of the current and anticipated future liquidity of the Group and the Company, as well as the ability of the Group and the Company to attain profit and positive cash flows from operations in the immediate and longer term.

Based on the cash flow projections of the Group and having taken into account the assumptions that the proposed restructuring of the Company, as mentioned below, will be successfully completed, the Directors have concluded that the Group is able to continue as a going concern and to meet their financial liabilities as and when they fall due in the foreseeable future.

Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made to restate the values of assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise and to classify non-current assets and liabilities as current assets and liabilities respectively. The effects of these potential adjustments have not been reflected in these consolidated financial statements.

Winding-up petition and suspension of trading of the shares of the Company

On 4 April 2014, ANZ presented winding-up petitions to the High Court for the winding-up of the Company and Max Sunny, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

On the same day, summonses were filed with the Court seeking the appointment of provisional liquidators to the Company and Max Sunny. The petitions and summonses were also supported by HSBC. Following the presentation of the petitions, the Company and Max Sunny engaged in negotiations with ANZ, with the view to reaching a settlement in respect of the petitions and summonses.

On 2 May 2014, the Company and Max Sunny agreed on principal terms of settlement. On 7 May 2014, the Deed was entered into between ANZ, HSBC, the Company and Max Sunny in full and final settlement of the loans due to ANZ and HSBC. The Deed provided for an agreed amount to be paid to ANZ and HSBC in five instalments. Upon full compliance of the Deed by the Company and Max Sunny, ANZ would apply to the Court for the withdrawal or dismissal of the winding-up petitions.

The winding-up petitions were further adjourned to 2 July 2014 and the applications for the appointment of provisional liquidators were adjourned on terms that allowed ANZ to restore the applications on an urgent basis and without objection from the Company and Max Sunny in the event that the Company and Max Sunny failed to meet their obligations under the Deed.

On 6 June 2014, the Company and Max Sunny failed to pay the third instalment due in accordance with the Deed. On 16 June 2014, the applications for appointment of provisional liquidators were restored on an urgent basis and the High Court provided notices to the Company and Max Sunny that the applications would be heard on 27 June 2014.

At the hearing of 27 June 2014 the High Court granted orders appointing Yat Kit Jong and Donald Edward Osborn as the joint and several provisional liquidators of the Company and Max Sunny. Trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange was suspended at 2:37 p.m. on 27 June 2014 at the request of the Company. Pursuant to the Court Orders dated 2 June 2015, So Man Chun was appointed as an additional Joint and Several Provisional Liquidator of the Company and Max Sunny.

Since their appointment, the Provisional Liquidators have been investigating into the affairs of the Group and have taken all necessary actions to preserve the assets. The Provisional Liquidators have also gathered information relating to the status of the Group through meetings with various parties, including but not limited to Ms Yang Jian Hui (the executive director and the Chief Financial Officer of the Group) and various former employees.

Proposed restructuring of the Group

Given the situation of the Group, the Provisional Liquidators with assistance of Asian Capital (Corporate Finance) Limited which acted as the financial adviser to the Company, sought to identify potential investors with a view to restructuring the Company and submitting a viable resumption proposal to the Stock Exchange.

As announced by the Company on 24 July 2014, the Company received a letter from the Stock Exchange, which stated that in view of the Court Order and the appointment of the Provisional Liquidators, the Stock Exchange considered that the Company might have serious financial difficulties. As the Company had not published the annual results for the year ended 31 March 2014, the Stock Exchange was unable to assess the performance and financial position of the Company. Further it was unclear as to the operating status of the Company and whether the Company still had sufficient level of assets and operations to fulfil the requirement under Rule 13.24 of the Listing Rules. The Stock Exchange therefore decided to place the Company in the first delisting stage under Practice Note 17 of the Listing Rules due to the Company’s failure to comply with Rule 13.24 of the Listing Rules. The Company was required to submit a viable resumption proposal, which could, among others, demonstrate its compliance with Rule 13.24 of the Listing Rules, at least 10 business days before the expiry of the first delisting stage, i.e. 15 January 2015.

As no resumption proposal was submitted before the expiry date of the first delisting stage, the Company received a letter from the Stock Exchange dated 20 January 2015. In the letter, the Stock Exchange informed the Company that it had been placed in the second stage of delisting procedures commencing on 20 January 2015 pursuant to Practice Note 17 to the Listing Rules. The Company was required to submit a viable resumption proposal 10 business days before the second delisting stage expires i.e. on or before 3 July 2015, which should meet the following conditions:

Proposed restructuring of the Group (continued)

  • a) demonstrate sufficient operations or assets to comply with Rule 13.24;

  • b) address auditors’ qualifications and demonstrate adequate internal control system; and

  • c) withdraw and/or dismiss the winding-up petition against the Company and discharge the Provisional Liquidators.

On 5 June 2015, the Company, the Provisional Liquidators and an investor entered into a framework agreement, which was subsequently amended and restated by an amendment and restatement framework agreement dated 5 October 2015, pursuant to which the parties agreed on the principal terms of a proposed restructuring of the Group with a view to resume trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange. The framework agreement was approved by the Honorable Mr. Justice Harris of the High Court on 26 June 2015 and the amended and restated framework agreement was approved by the Honorable Mr. Justice Harris of the Hong Kong High Court on 6 November 2015.

With the sanction from the High Court, the SPVs, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, were set up after the appointment of the Provisional Liquidators for the purpose of restructuring and continuation of the business of the Group. It is anticipated that the management team of the SPVs will run the business of the Group so as to fulfil the resumption requirements of the Stock Exchange.

The Resumption Proposal was prepared and submitted to the Stock Exchange on 19 July 2015. However, without raising any question or query on the Resumption Proposal, the Listing Division of the Stock Exchange notified the Company on 31 July 2015 that it considered that the Resumption Proposal had not satisfactorily demonstrated sufficiency of operations or assets as required under Rule 13.24 of the Listing Rules and it would recommend the Listing Committee to place the Company in the third delisting stage.

2.2 BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

Proposed restructuring of the Group (continued)

Pursuant to a letter dated 14 August 2015 from the Stock Exchange, the Listing Committee considered that the Resumption Proposal was not viable and decided to place the Company in the third delisting stage under the Ruling. In arriving at the above decision, the Listing Committee had considered that, among others, the business of the Company in the Resumption Proposal was insufficient to justify the Company’s continued listing.

The Company disagrees with the Ruling and on 18 August 2015 formally requested the Listing Committee to provide detailed written reasons for the Ruling. On 24 August 2015, the Company also submitted a formal request to the Stock Exchange for a review of the Ruling by the Listing (Review) Committee of the Stock Exchange. The review hearing was held on 17 December 2015. On 29 December 2015, the Company received the decision letter from the Listing (Review) Committee, and they decided to uphold the Listing Committee’s decision. An announcement was made by the Stock Exchange on 6 January 2016 to place the Company into the third delisting stage with effect on the same day for a period of nine months. The Stock Exchange intends to cancel the listing of the Company after the nine-month period (i.e. 5 October 2016) if the Company does not provide a viable resumption proposal. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company when there are material developments as appropriate.

As of the date of this report, the management has used its best effort, to the extent commercially practicable, to reconstruct the accounting records of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2016, applying their best estimates and judgement based on the information of the Group that are available to the management. However, given the loss of some books and records and serious doubts over the reliability of the Group’s accounting and other records (except the accounting and other records in relation to the business of SPVs, which were incorporated after the appointment of the Provisional Liquidators), the Board believes that, as at the date of the report, it is almost impossible, and not practical, to ascertain the correct revenue and profit or loss (and the resultant assets and liabilities) for the current year for inclusion in the consolidated financial statements of the Group other than the revenue and profit or loss (and the resultant assets and liabilities) in relation to the business of the SPVs. Also, due to loss of some books and records, the Board believes that it is almost impossible, and not practical, to verify the financial information as reported in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for past years.

For the avoidance of doubt, the books and records of the SPVs, in the opinion of their respective auditors, are complete for the purpose of preparing their financial statements, in which their respective auditors issued unqualified opinions.

2.2 BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

Proposed restructuring of the Group (continued)

Any adjustments arising from the matters described above would have a consequential significant effect on the net profit of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2016 and the net assets of the Group as at 31 March 2016.

Due to the limited information available and most of the former key accounting personnel of the Group have left without notice, the Directors were unable to obtain sufficient documentary information to satisfy themselves regarding the completeness of books and records and the treatment of various balances as included in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016 and have formed the opinion as follows:

As the consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the incomplete books and records available to the Company, the Directors of the Company are unable to represent that all transactions entered into by the Group for the year ended 31 March 2016 have been properly reflected in the consolidated financial statements. In this connection, the Directors of the Company are also unable to represent as to the completeness, existence and accuracy of identification of the financial statements and the disclosures of the financial statements in accordance with IFRSs and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Listing Rules.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016 comprise the Group and the Group’s interests in associates.

Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). These financial statements are presented in United States dollars (“US$”), rounded to the nearest dollar. United States dollar is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency.

Basis of consolidation (continued)

The measurement basis used in the preparation of the financial statements is the historical cost basis except that the following assets and liabilities are stated at their fair value as explained in the accounting policies set out below:

  • financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying amounts of assets and liabilities not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Judgements made by management in the application of IFRSs that have significant effect on the financial statements and major sources of estimation uncertainty are discussed in note 3.

Amendments to IAS 19 Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contribution Amendments to IFRSs Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010-2012 Cycle Amendments to IFRSs Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011-2013 Cycle

The application of the new and revised IFRSs in the current year has had no material impact on the Group’s financial performance and positions for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosure set out in these consolidated financial statements.

2.4 SUMMARy OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity), directly or indirectly, controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee (that is, existing rights that give the Group the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).

An investment in a subsidiary is consolidated into the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control cases. Intra-group balances, transactions and cash flows and any unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

2.4 SUMMARy OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Subsidiaries (continued)

When the Company has, directly or indirectly, less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

  • (a) the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;

  • (b) rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

  • (c) the Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises (i) the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary, (ii) the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest and (iii) the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity; and recognises (i) the fair value of the consideration received, (ii) the fair value of any investment retained and (iii) any resulting surplus or deficit in profit or loss. The Group’s share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss or retained profits, as appropriate, on the same basis as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

Investments in associates

An associate is an entity in which the Group has a long term interest of generally not less than 20% of the equity voting rights and over which it is in a position to exercise significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies.

The Group’s investments in associates are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at the Group’s share of net assets under the equity method of accounting, less any impairment losses.

Investments in associates (continued)

Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at cost, adjusted for any excess of the Group’s share of the acquisition-date fair values of the investee’s identifiable net assets over the cost of the investment (if any). Thereafter, the investment is adjusted for the post acquisition change in the Group’s share of the investee’s net assets and any impairment loss relating to the investment. Any acquisition-date excess over cost, the Group’s share of the post-acquisition, post-tax results of the investees and any impairment losses for the year are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, whereas the Group’s share of the post-acquisition post-tax items of the investees’ other comprehensive income is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associates, the Group recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s investments in associates, except where unrealised losses provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Goodwill arising from the acquisition of associates is included as part of the Group’s investments in associates.

When an investment in an associate is classified as held for sale, it is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

Business combinations and goodwill

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred is measured at the acquisition date fair value which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of assets transferred by the Group, liabilities assumed by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the previously held equity interest is remeasured at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured and subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount recognised for non-controlling interests and any fair value of the Group’s previously held equity interests in the acquiree over the identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the sum of this consideration and other items is lower than the fair value of the net assets acquired, the difference is, after reassessment, recognised in profit or loss as a gain on bargain purchase.

Business combinations and goodwill (continued)

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The Group performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as at 31 March. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units.

Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

When goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on the disposal. Goodwill disposed of in these circumstances is measured based on the relative value of the disposed operation and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If some or all of the goodwill allocated to a cash-generating unit was acquired in a business combination during the current annual period, that unit shall be tested for impairment before the end of the current annual period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

On disposal of the relevant cash generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

Fair value measurement

The Group measures its financial assets at fair value through profit or loss at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

  • Level 1 – based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

  • Level 2 – based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is observable, either directly or indirectly

  • Level 3 – based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Where an indication of impairment exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required (other than inventories and financial assets), the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss is recognised only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is charged to the statement of profit or loss in the period in which it arises in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period as to whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss of an asset other than goodwill is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of that asset, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any depreciation/ amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of such an impairment loss is credited to the statement of profit or loss in the period in which it arises.

Leases

An arrangement, comprising a transaction or a series of transactions, is or contains a lease if the Group determines that the arrangement conveys a right to use a specific asset or assets for an agreed period of time in return for a payment or a series of payments. Such a determination is made based on an evaluation of the substance of the arrangement and is regardless of whether the arrangement takes the legal from of a lease.

Leases that transfer substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets to the Group, other than legal title, are accounted for as finance leases. At the inception of a finance lease, the cost of the leased asset is capitalised at the present value of the minimum lease payments and recorded together with the obligation, excluding the interest element, to reflect the purchase and financing. Assets held under capitalised finance leases, including prepaid land lease payments under financial leases, are included in property, plant and equipment, and depreciated over the shorter of lease terms and the estimated useful lives of the assets. The finance costs of such leases are charged to the statement of profit or loss so as to provide a constant periodic rate of charge over the lease terms.

Assets acquired through hire purchase contracts of a financing nature are accounted for as finance leases, but are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Where the Group is the lessor, assets leased by the Group under operating leases are included in non-current assets, and rentals receivable under the operating leases are credited to the statement of profit or loss on the straight-line basis over the lease terms. Where the Group is the lessee, rentals payable under the operating leases are charged to the statement of profit or loss on the straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Prepaid land lease payments under operating leases are initially stated at cost and subsequently recognised on the straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Investments and other financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial investments, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets, except in the case of financial assets recorded at fair value through profit or loss.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, that is, the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of sale in the near term.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with positive net changes in fair value presented as other income and gains and negative net changes in fair value presented as finance costs in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. These net fair value changes do not include any interest earned on these financial assets, which are recognised in accordance with the policy set out for “Revenue recognition” below.

Financial assets designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the date of initial recognition and only if the criteria in IAS 39 are satisfied.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less any allowance for impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and includes fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in other income and gains in the statement of profit or loss. The loss arising from impairment is recognised in the statement of profit or loss in finance costs for loans and in other expenses for receivables.

Investments and other financial assets (continued)

Subsequent measurement (continued)

Available-for-sale financial investments

Available-for-sale financial investments are non-derivative financial assets in listed and unlisted equity investments and debt securities. Equity investments classified as available for sale are those which are neither classified as held for trading nor designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Debt securities in this category are those which are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time and which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or in response to changes in market conditions.

After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial investments are subsequently measured at fair value, with unrealised gains or losses recognised as other comprehensive income in the available-for-sale investment revaluation reserve until the investment is derecognised, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss in other income, or until the investment is determined to be impaired, when the cumulative gain or loss is reclassified from the available-for-sale investment revaluation reserve to the statement of profit or loss in other gains or losses. Interest and dividends earned whilst holding the available-for-sale financial investments are reported as interest income and dividend income, respectively and are recognised in the statement of profit or loss as other income in accordance with the policies set out for “Revenue recognition” below.

When the fair value of unlisted equity investments cannot be reliably measured because (a) the variability in the range of reasonable fair value estimates is significant for that investment or (b) the probabilities of the various estimates within the range cannot be reasonably assessed and used in estimating fair value, such investments are stated at cost less any impairment losses.

The Group evaluates whether the ability and intention to sell its available-for-sale financial assets in the near term are still appropriate. When, in rare circumstances, the Group is unable to trade these financial assets due to inactive markets, the Group may elect to reclassify these financial assets if management has the ability and intention to hold the assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity.

For a financial asset reclassified from the available-for-sale category, the fair value carrying amount at the date of reclassification becomes its new amortised cost and any previous gain or loss on that asset that has been recognised in equity is amortised to profit or loss over the remaining life of the investment using the effective interest rate. Any difference between the new amortised cost and the maturity amount is also amortised over the remaining life of the asset using the effective interest rate. If the asset is subsequently determined to be impaired, then the amount recorded in equity is reclassified to the statement of profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised (that is, removed from the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position) when:

  • the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

  • the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset, or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risk and rewards of ownership of the asset. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred the control of the asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement. In this case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. An impairment exists if one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that a debtor or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter into bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

Impairment of financial assets (continued)

Financial assets carried at amortised cost

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Group first assesses whether impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

The amount of any impairment loss identified is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (that is, the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition).

The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss. Interest income continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount and is accrued using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. Loans and receivables together with any associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realised or has been transferred to the Group.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a write-off is later recovered, the recovery is credited to other expenses in the statement of profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets (continued)

Assets carried at cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value because its fair value cannot be reliably measured, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Impairment losses on these assets are not reversed.

Available-for-sale financial investments

For available-for-sale financial investments, the Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that an investment or a group of investments is impaired.

If an available-for-sale asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in the statement of profit or loss, is removed from other comprehensive income and recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, objective evidence would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment below its cost. “Significant” is evaluated against the original cost of the investment and “prolonged” against the period in which the fair value has been below its original cost. Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognised in the statement of profit or loss – is removed from other comprehensive income and recognised in the statement of profit or loss. Impairment losses on equity instruments classified as available for sale are not reversed through the statement of profit or loss. Increases in their fair value after impairment are recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and bills payables, accruals and other payables, interest-bearing bank borrowings, other borrowings, trust receipt loan, and amount due to investors.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:

Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the effective interest rate amortisation process.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled, or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and a recognition of a new liability, and the difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Inventories

Inventories represent trading merchandise and direct costs incurred for IT contract work in progress and are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on the weighted average basis and, in the case of work in progress and finished goods, comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling prices less any estimated costs to be incurred to completion and disposal.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and short term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and have a short maturity of generally within three months when acquired, less bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management.

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of financial position, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and at banks, including term deposits, and assets similar in nature to cash, which are not restricted as to use.

Provisions

A provision is recognised when a present obligation (legal or constructive) has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the effect of discounting is material, the amount recognised for a provision is the present value at the end of the reporting period of the future expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The increase in the discounted present value amount arising from the passage of time is included in finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.

Income tax

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, taking into consideration interpretations and practices prevailing in the countries in which the Group operates.

Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:

  • when the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:

  • when the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Income tax (continued)

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and when the revenue can be measured reliably, on the following bases:

  • (a) from the sale of goods, when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, provided that the Group maintains neither managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership, nor effective control over the goods sold;

  • (b) from the rendering of services, on the percentage of completion basis, as further explained in the accounting policy for “Contract for services” below;

  • (c) interest income, on an accrual basis using the effective interest method by applying the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, when appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset; and

Contracts for services

Contract revenue on the rendering of services comprises the agreed contract amount. Costs of rendering services comprise labour and other costs of personnel directly engaged in providing the services and attributable overheads.

Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised based on the percentage of completion of the transaction, provided that the revenue, the costs incurred and the estimated costs to completion can be measured reliably. The percentage of completion is established by reference to the costs incurred to date as compared to the total costs to be incurred under the transaction. Where the outcome of a contract cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that the expenses incurred are eligible to be recovered.

Provision is made for foreseeable losses as soon as they are anticipated by management.

Where contract costs incurred to date plus recognised profits less recognised losses exceed progress billings, the surplus is treated as an amount due from contract customers. Where progress billings exceed contract costs incurred to date plus recognised profits less recognised losses, the surplus is treated as an amount due to contract customers.

Share-based payments

The Company operates a share option scheme for the purpose of providing incentives and rewards to eligible participants who contribute to the success of the Group’s operations. Employees (including directors) of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (“equity-settled transactions”).

The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees for grants after 7 November 2012 is measured by reference to the fair value at the date on which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a binomial model, further details of which are given in note 30 to the financial statements.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefit expense. The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at the end of each reporting period until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The charge or credit to the statement of profit or loss for a period represents the movement in the cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

Share-based payments (continued)

For awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met, no expense is recognised. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payments, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. This includes any award where non vesting conditions within the control of either the Group or the employee are not met. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and is designated as a replacement award on the date it is granted, the cancelled and new awards are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.

Employee benefits

Pension scheme

The employees of the Group’s operation in Mainland China are required to participate in a central pension scheme operated by the local municipal government. The Group is required to contribute certain percentage of its payroll costs to the central pension scheme. The contributions are charged to the statement of profit or loss as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the central pension scheme.

The Group operates a defined contribution Mandatory Provident Fund retirement benefits scheme (the “MPF Scheme”) under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance for all of its employees in Hong Kong. Contributions are made based on a percentage of the employees’ basic salaries and are charged to the statement of profit or loss as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the MPF Scheme. The assets of the MPF Scheme are held separately from those of the Group in an independently administered fund. The Group’s employer contributions vest fully with the employees when contributed into the MPF Scheme.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset, which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset. The capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs capitalised. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Dividends

Final dividends proposed by the directors are classified as a separate allocation of retained profits within the equity section of the statement of financial position, until they have been approved by the shareholders in a general meeting. When these dividends have been declared and approved by the shareholders, they are recognised as a liability.

Foreign currencies

These financial statements are presented in United Stated Dollars (“US$”), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Foreign currency transactions recorded by the entities in the Group are initially recorded using their respective functional currency rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rates of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period. Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions dates. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was measured. The gain or loss arising from translation of a non-monetary item measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on changes in fair value of the item (that is translation differences on the item whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss is also recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss, respectively).

The functional currencies of certain overseas subsidiaries and associates are currencies other than US$. As at the end of the reporting period, the assets and liabilities of these entities are translated into the presentation currency of the Company at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period and their statement of profit or loss are translated into US$ at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. The resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve. On the disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the cash flows of overseas subsidiaries are translated into US$ at the exchange rates ruling at the dates of the cash flows. Frequently recurring cash flows of overseas subsidiaries which arise throughout the year are translated into US$ at the weighted average exchange rates for the year.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and their accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities affected in the future.

Judgements

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES (continued)

Estimation uncertainty (continued)

Impairment of interests in subsidiaries and associates

The Company assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment for interests in subsidiaries and associates at the end of each reporting period. Interests in subsidiaries and associates are tested for impairment when there are indicators that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. When value in use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future cash flows from the asset and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

Impairment on trade and other receivables

The policy for impairment allowances on trade and other receivables of the Group is based on the evaluation of collectability and aging analysis of accounts and on management’s judgement. A considerable amount of judgement is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each customer. If the financial conditions of customers of the Group were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Allowance for obsolete and slow moving of inventories

The management of the Group reviews an aging analysis of inventories at the end of each reporting period, and makes provision for obsolete and slow-moving inventory items identified that are no longer suitable for sales. The management estimates the net realisable value for such inventories based primarily on the latest invoice prices and current market conditions. The Group carries out an inventory review on a product-by-product basis at the end of each reporting period and makes allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Impairment of non-financial assets (other than goodwill)

The Group assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment for all non-financial assets at the end of each reporting period. Non-financial assets are tested for impairment when there are indicators that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or a cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. When value in use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future cash flows from the asset or cash-generating unit and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

5. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Group manages its business by division, which are organised by business lines. In a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the Group’s executive directors, the chief operating decision maker, for the purposes of resources allocation and performance assessment, the Group has presented the following one reportable segment. No operating segments have been aggregated to form the following reportable segment.

Trading of mobile handsets

The trading of mobile handsets segment derived its revenue primarily from the sale and distribution of mobile handsets.

a) Segment results, assets and liabilities

For the purposes of assessing segment performance and allocating resources between segments, the Group’s executive directors monitor the results, assets and liabilities attributable to each reportable segment on the following basis:

Segment assets include all tangible, intangible assets and current assets with the exception of interests in associates, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and other corporate assets. Segment liabilities include provisions and trade and other payables attributable to the activities of the individual segment and borrowings managed directly by the segment.

Revenue and expenses are allocated to the reportable segment with reference to sales generated by the segment and the expenses incurred by the segment or which otherwise arise from the depreciation or amortisation of assets attributable to the segment.

The measure used for reporting segment profit is “adjusted EBITDA”, that is, “adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization”, where “interest” is regarded as including investment income and “depreciation and amortisation” is regarded as including impairment losses on non-current assets.

13. INCOME TAX

  • a) Hong Kong profits tax has been provided at the rate of 16.5% (2015: 16.5%) on the estimated assessable profits arising in Hong Kong during the year. Taxes on profits assessable elsewhere have been calculated at the rates of tax prevailing in the countries (or jurisdictions) in which the Group operates.

PRC Enterprise Income Tax is calculated at 25% based on the new PRC Enterprise Income Tax law passed by the Tenth National People’s Congress on 16 March 2007.

According to the current applicable laws of Macau, Macau Complementary Tax is calculated at a progressive rate from 9% to 12% on the estimated assessable profits for the year with first two hundred thousand patacas (“MOP”) assessable profits being free from tax. However, VIM Technology Macao Commercial Offshore Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, was in compliance with the Decree-Law No. 58/99/M of the Macau and thus, the profits generated by the subsidiary was exempted from the Macau Complementary Tax. Further, in the opinion of the Directors, that portion of the Group’s profit is not at present subject to taxation in any other jurisdictions in which the Group operates.

15. EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic

The calculation of basic earnings per share attributable to owners of the Company is based on the profit for the year attributable to owners of the Company of US$374,467 (loss of 2015: US$50,475,462) and the weighted average number of 762,687,662 (2015: 762,687,662) ordinary shares in issue during the year.

Diluted

On the basis that the relevant books and records are either lost or are incomplete, there is no accurate information to calculate the diluted earnings/loss per share. Therefore, diluted earnings/loss per share equals to the basic earnings/loss per share for the year ended 31 March 2016 and 31 March 2015.

As disclosed in note 2.2 as the earnings/loss attributable to owners of the Company may not be accurate, no representation is made by the Board as to the accuracy of the earnings/loss per share of the Company as of the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements.

17. INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES (continued)

According to the laws and regulations in the PRC, a foreign investor is not allowed to acquire 100% equity interest in an advertising enterprise in the PRC, such as Shenzhen Jingying, unless such foreign investor is a qualified foreign funded advertising enterprise. All group companies now comprising Noosa Group are not qualified as a foreign funded advertising enterprise.

To comply with laws and regulations of the PRC that restrict foreign ownership of companies that operate advertising and media businesses as detailed above, Noosa Group engages in such restricted business in the PRC through entering into a set of agreements (the “Structured Agreements”) with Shenzhen Jingying. Details of the Structured Agreements are disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 10 August 2012.

Based on the Structured Agreements, the Directors have exercised judgements and determined that, notwithstanding the lack of equity ownership, Noosa Group has in substance obtained the control over the 100% equity interest of Shenzhen Jingying and Shenzhen Jingying should be classified as a subsidiary of Noosa Group.

As disclosed in note 2.2, on the basis that the relevant books and records are either lost or are incomplete, no representation is made by the Board as to the completeness, existence and accuracy of the investment in associates of the Group as of the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements.

(c) Trade and factoring receivables that are not impaired

The ageing analysis of trade and factoring receivables that are neither individually nor collectively considered to be impaired are as follows:

2016 2015
US$ US$
Neither past due nor impaired 5,820,191
Past due but not impaired
Less than 1 month past due
More than 3 months past due 67,561,829 67,561,829
67,561,829 67,561,829
73,382,020 67,561,829

Receivables that were neither past due nor impaired relate to a wide range of customers for whom there was no recent history of default.

Given the loss of some books and records and unreliability of records found, management consider that it is almost impossible, and not practical to ascertain the correct amount, and no impairment allowance is necessary in respect of these balances and will be included in the proposed restructuring.

Given the loss of some books and records, and unreliability of records found, the Board believes that it may be almost impossible, and not practical, to ascertain the completeness, existence and accuracy of the trade and factoring receivables of the Group, or to perform a detailed analysis of the group’s trade and factoring receivable aging, credit policy and impairment assessment.

29. SHARE CAPITAL (continued)

The Group sets the amount of capital in proportion to risk. The Group manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the payment of dividends, issue new shares, buy-back shares, raise new debts, redeem existing debts or sell assets to reduce debts.

The Group monitors capital on the basis of the net debt-to-adjusted capital ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by adjusted capital. Net debt is calculated as total debts included interest-bearing bank borrowings, trust receipt loan, other borrowings and amount due to investors-Escrow account plus unaccrued proposed dividends less cash and cash equivalents. Adjusted capital comprises all components of equity (that is, share capital, share premium, retained earnings, other reserves and any non-controlling interests) less unaccrued proposed dividends and includes some forms of subordinated debts.

The Group’s strategy was to maintain the net debt-to-adjusted capital ratio at the lowest as possible, in order to secure access to finance at a reasonable cost. The net debt-to-adjusted capital ratio at the end of the reporting period is as follows:

2016 2015
US$ US$
Total debt
Less: cash and cash equivalents
82,401,099
(1,380,909)

Total equity and adjusted capital 559,388 184,921
Net debt-to-adjusted capital ratio 14,484% 42,401%

According to the Hong Kong Listing Rules on the Stock Exchange, at least 25% of the Company’s shares should be held in the hands of the public.

As disclosed in note 2.2, on the basis that the relevant books and records are either lost or are incomplete, no representation is made by the Board as to the completeness, existence and accuracy of the share capital of the Group as of the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements.

30. SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The Company operates a share option scheme 2010 (the “2010 Scheme”) for the purpose of providing incentives and rewards to eligible participants who contribute to the success of the Group’s operations. Eligible participants of the Scheme include the Group’s directors, including independent non-executive directors, confirmed employees of the Group, the controlling shareholders and their associates. The Scheme became effective on 11 February 2010 and, unless otherwise cancelled or amended, will remain in force for 10 years from that date.

The maximum number of unexercised share options currently permitted to be granted under the 2010 Scheme is an amount equivalent, upon their exercise, to 10% of the shares of the Company in issue at any time. The maximum number of shares issuable under share options to each eligible participant in the 2010 Scheme within any 12-month period is limited to 1% of the shares of the Company in issue at any time. Any further grant of share options in excess of this limit is subject to shareholders’ approval in a general meeting.

Share options granted to a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company, or to any of their respective associates (including discretionary trust in which any Connected Persons are beneficiary), are subject to approval in advance by the independent non-executive directors. In addition, any share options granted to a substantial shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) or an independent non-executive director of the Company, or to any their respective associates, in excess of 0.1% of the shares of the Company in issue at any time or with an aggregate value (based on the price of the Company’s shares at the date of grant) in excess of HK$5 million, within any 12-month period, are subject to shareholders’ approval in advance in a general meeting.

The offer of a grant of share options may be accepted within 21 days from the date of offer, upon payment of a nominal consideration of HK$1 in total by the grantee. The grant of 2010 Scheme shall be made to a participant by letter in such form as the Remuneration Committee (“RC”), a committee of directors who are duly authorized and appointed by the Board to administer the 2010 Scheme for the time being pursuant to the Code of Corporate Governance under SGX Listing Manual, may from time to time determine.

Subject to the provisions of the 2010 Scheme, the Bermuda Companies Act, the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST and the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the RC may, when making the offer, impose any conditions, restrictions or limitations in relation thereto as it may at its absolute discretion think fit.

The exercise price of share options is determinable by the RC, but may not be less than the higher of (i) the closing price of the Company’s shares on a business day as stated in the daily quotations sheet issued by the Stock Exchange or the closing price of the Company’s shares as stated in the daily quotations sheet issued by the SGX-ST; (ii) the average closing prices of the Company’s shares as stated in the daily quotations sheets issued by the Stock Exchange or the average closing prices of the shares as stated in the daily quotations sheets issued by SGX-ST for the five consecutive business days immediately preceding the offer date; or (iii) the nominal value of a share on the offer date.

30. SHARE OPTION SCHEME (continued)

Under the 2010 Scheme, if the share options remain unexercised after a period of 10 years from 11 February 2010, the share options expire. Share options are forfeited if the employee leaves the Group before the share options vest. In the event that the grantee ceases to be a participant for any reason (other than on his death) including the termination of his employment or engagement on one or more of the grounds specified in the 2010 Scheme, the options granted to such grantee will lapse on the date of such cessation (to the extent not already exercised) and will not be exercisable unless the RC otherwise determines to grant an extension (which shall not be more than 1 month from the date of cessation) at the absolute discretion of the RC in which event the grantee may exercise the options within such period of extension.

(ii) Share-based payments reserve

The share-based payments reserve represents the fair value of the actual or estimated number of unexercised share options granted to Directors and employees of the Group recognised in accordance with the accounting policy adopted for equity-settled share-based payments in note 2.4 to the financial statements.

(iii) Foreign currency translation reserve

The foreign currency translation reserve comprises all foreign exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations as well as the effective portion of any foreign exchange differences arising from hedges of the net investment in these foreign operations. The reserve is dealt with in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 2.4 to the financial statements.

(iv) Reserve funds

Pursuant to the relevant PRC laws and regulations, Sino-foreign joint ventures registered in the PRC are required to transfer a certain percentage, as approved by the board of directors, of their profit after income tax to the reserve funds. These funds are restricted as to use.

IFRS 16 Leases

IFRS 16, which upon the effective date will supersede IAS 17 “Leases”, introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Specifically, under IFRS 16, a lessee is required to recognise a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. Accordingly, a lessee should recognise depreciation of the right-of-use asset and interest on the lease liability, and also classifies cash repayments of the lease liability into a principal portion and an interest portion and presents them in the statement of cash flows. Also, the right-of-use asset and the lease liability are initially measured on a present value basis. The measurement includes non-cancellable lease payments and also includes payments to be made in optional periods if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. This accounting treatment is significantly different from the lessee accounting for leases that are classified as operating leases under the predecessor standard, IAS 17.

In respect of the lessor accounting, IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two types of leases differently.

The directors of the Company will assess the impact of the application of IFRS 16. For the moment, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect of the application of IFRS 16 until the Group performs a detailed review.

For the year ended 31 March 2017

2.1 STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

Except for the matters referred to in note 2.2, including the omission of a consolidated statement of cash flow and disclosures as required under International Financial Reporting Standards (the “IFRSs”), Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”), these financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs, which collective term includes all applicable individual IFRSs, International Accounting Standards (the “IASs”) and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the applicable disclosure provisions of the Listing Rules. A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the Group is set out below.

The IASB has issued certain new and revised IFRSs which are first effective or available for early adoption for the current accounting period of the Group and the Company. Note 2.3 provides information on any changes in accounting policies resulting from the initial application of these developments to the extent that they are relevant to the Group for the current and prior accounting periods reflected in these consolidated financial statements.

2.2 BASIS OF PREPARATION

Going concern

As at 31 March 2017, the Group had net current liabilities of US$10,998,284. In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Directors of the Company have given careful consideration to the impact of the current and anticipated future liquidity of the Group and the Company and the ability of the Group and the Company to attain profit and positive cash flows from operations in the immediate and longer term.

Based on the cash flow projections of the Group and having taken into account the assumptions that the proposed restructuring of the Company as mentioned below will be successfully completed, the Directors have concluded that the Group and the Company are able to continue as a going concern and to meet their financial liabilities as and when they fall due in the foreseeable future.

Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern, adjustments would have to be made to restate the values of assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for any further liabilities which might arise and to classify non-current assets and liabilities as current assets and liabilities respectively. The effects of these potential adjustments have not been reflected in these consolidated financial statements.

2.2 BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

Winding up petition and suspension of trading of the shares of the Company

On 4 April 2014, Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (“ANZ”) presented winding-up petitions to the High Court for the winding-up of the Company and Max Sunny Limited (“Max Sunny”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On the same day, summonses were filed with the High Court seeking the appointment of provisional liquidators to the Company and Max Sunny. The petitions and summonses were also supported by HSBC. Following the presentation of the petitions, the Company and Max Sunny engaged in negotiations with ANZ, with the view to reaching a settlement in respect of the petitions and summonses.

On 2 May 2014, the Company, Max Sunny and ANZ agreed on principle terms of settlement. On 7 May 2014, the Deed was entered into between ANZ, HSBC, the Company and Max Sunny in full and final settlement of the loans due to ANZ and HSBC. The Deed provided for an agreed amount to be paid to ANZ and HSBC in five instalments. Upon full compliance of the Deed by the Company and Max Sunny, ANZ would apply to the Court for the withdrawal or dismissal of the winding-up petitions.

The winding-up petitions were further adjourned to 2 July 2014 and the applications for the appointment of provisional liquidators were adjourned on terms that allowed ANZ to restore the applications on an urgent basis and without objection from the Company and Max Sunny in the event that the Company and Max Sunny failed to meet their obligations under the Deed.

On 6 June 2014, the Company and Max Sunny failed to pay the third instalment due in accordance with the Deed. On 16 June 2014, the applications for appointment of provisional liquidators were restored on an urgent basis and the High Court provided notices to the Company and Max Sunny that the applications would be heard on 27 June 2014.

At the hearing of 27 June 2014 the High Court granted orders appointing Yat Kit Jong and Donald Edward Osborn as the Provisional Liquidators of the Company and Max Sunny. Trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange was suspended at 2:37 p.m. on 27 June 2014 at the request of the Company. Pursuant to the Court orders dated 2 June 2015, So Man Chun was appointed as an additional Joint and Several Provisional Liquidator of the Company and Max Sunny.

Since their appointment, the Provisional Liquidators have been investigating into the affairs of the Group and have taken all necessary actions to preserve the assets. The Provisional Liquidators have also gathered information relating to the status of the Group through meetings with various parties, including Ms Yang Jian Hui (the executive director and the Chief Financial Officer of the Group) and various former employees. As at the date of this report, Ms Yang has resigned as the Chief Financial Officer of the Group while Mr Kung Wai Chiu Marco has been appointed as the Chief Financial Officer of the Group with effect from 24 April 2017.

2.2 BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

Winding up petition and suspension of trading of the shares of the Company (continued)

As part of the restructuring process, on 7 February 2017, the Company acting by its Board of Directors made the Application to the Bermuda Court to appoint Joint Provisional Liquidators to the Company in Bermuda. Upon hearing the Application on 17 February 2017, the Bermuda Court made an order for the appointment of Messrs. Donald Edward Osborn, Yat Kit Jong and So Man Chun as Joint Provisional Liquidators of the Company on the same date.

Following the appointment of the Joint Provisional Liquidators in Bermuda on 17 February 2017, the Honourable Mr Justice Harris ordered at the hearing of the High Court on 27 March 2017 that Messrs. Donald Edward Osborn, Yat Kit Jong and So Man Chun be discharged as the Hong Kong-appointed Joint and Several Provisional Liquidators of the Company and the petition proceedings be stayed until further order of the High Court with liberty to the parties to restore.

By a further order of the Honourable Mr Justice Harris dated 29 March 2017, the appointment of the Bermudaappointed Joint Provisional Liquidators was also recognised by the High Court.

Bermuda has a well-established provisional liquidation regime designed to be used for the restructuring of companies. Accordingly, the Joint Provisional Liquidators recognise that the appointment in Bermuda will assist the implementation of a successful restructuring.

Proposed restructuring of the Group

Given the situation of the Group, the Provisional Liquidators with the assistance of Asian Capital (Corporate Finance) Limited which acted as the financial adviser to the Company, sought to identify potential investors with a view to restructuring the Company and submitting a viable resumption proposal to the Stock Exchange.

As announced by the Company on 24 July 2014, the Company received a letter from the Stock Exchange, which stated that in view of the Court Order and the appointment of the Provisional Liquidators, the Stock Exchange considered that the Company might have serious financial difficulties. As the Company had not published the annual results for the year ended 31 March 2014, the Stock Exchange was unable to assess the performance and financial position of the Company. Further it was unclear as to the operating status of the Company and whether the Company still had sufficient level of assets and operations to fulfil the requirement under Rule 13.24 of the Listing Rules. The Stock Exchange therefore decided to place the Company in the first delisting stage under Practice Note 17 of the Listing Rules due to the Company’s failure to comply with Rule 13.24 of the Listing Rules. The Company was required to submit a viable resumption proposal, which could, among others, demonstrate its compliance with Rule 13.24 of the Listing Rules, at least 10 business days before the expiry of the first delisting stage, i.e. 15 January 2015.

2.2 BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

Proposed restructuring of the Group (continued)

As no resumption proposal was submitted before the expiry date of the first delisting stage, the Company received a letter from the Stock Exchange dated 20 January 2015. In the letter, the Stock Exchange informed the Company that it had been placed in the second stage of delisting procedures commencing on 20 January 2015 pursuant to Practice Note 17 to the Listing Rules. The Company was required to submit a viable resumption proposal 10 business days before the second delisting stage expires i.e. on or before 3 July 2015, which should meet the following conditions:

  1. demonstrate sufficient operations or assets to comply with Rule 13.24;

  2. address auditors’ qualifications and demonstrate adequate internal control system; and

  3. withdraw and/or dismiss the winding-up petition against the Company and discharge the Provisional Liquidators.

On 5 June 2015, the Company, the Provisional Liquidators and an investor entered into a framework agreement, which was subsequently amended and restated by an amendment and restatement framework agreement dated 5 October 2015, pursuant to which the parties agreed on the principal terms of a proposed restructuring of the Group with a view to resume trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange. The framework agreement was approved by the Honorable Mr. Justice Harris of the High Court on 26 June 2015 and the amended and restated framework agreement was approved by the Honorable Mr. Justice Harris of the High Court on 6 November 2015.

With the sanction from the High Court, the SPVs, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, were set up after the appointment of the Provisional Liquidators for the purpose of restructuring and continuation of the business of the Group. It is anticipated that the management team of the SPVs will run the business of the Group so as to fulfil the resumption requirements of the Stock Exchange.

A proposal setting out details of the proposed restructuring together with the basis for the Resumption Proposal was prepared and submitted to the Stock Exchange on 19 July 2015. However, without raising any question or query on the Resumption proposal, the Listing Division notified the Company on 31 July 2015 that it considered that the Resumption Proposal had not satisfactorily demonstrated sufficiency of operations or assets as required under Rule 13.24 of the Listing Rules and it would recommend the Listing Committee to place the Company in the third delisting stage.

2.2 BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

Proposed restructuring of the Group (continued)

Pursuant to a letter dated 14 August 2015 from the Stock Exchange, the Listing Committee considered that the Resumption Proposal was not viable and decided to place the Company in the third delisting stage under Practice Note 17 to the Listing Rules (the “Ruling”). In arriving at the above decision, the Listing Committee had considered that, among others, the business of the Company in the Resumption Proposal was insufficient to justify the Company’s continued listing.

The Company disagrees with the Ruling and on 18 August 2015 formally requested the Listing Committee to provide detailed written reasons for the Ruling. On 24 August 2015, the Company also submitted a formal request to the Stock Exchange for a review of the Ruling by the Listing (Review) Committee. The review hearing was held on 17 December 2015. On 29 December 2015, the Company received the decision letter of the Listing (Review) Committee, and they decided to uphold the Listing Committee’s decision. An announcement was made by the Stock Exchange on 6 January 2016 to place the Company into the third delisting stage with effect on the same day for a period of nine months. The Stock Exchange intends to cancel the listing of the Company after the nine-month period (i.e. 5 October 2016) if the Company does not provide a viable resumption proposal.

Accordingly, the Revised Proposal was subsequently submitted to the Stock Exchange on 7 September 2016. The Revised Proposal was highlighted by the introduction of a potential strategic investor, Tongfang. On 28 June 2016, the Company obtained the Letter of Intent from Tongfang, pursuant to which, Tongfang will (i) invest an amount of HK$3.0 million into Perfect Major, a subsidiary of the Company in consideration and exchange for a 20% equity interest in Perfect Major; and (ii) subscribe for not less than 5% of the Company’s newly issued shares after the resumption of trading of the Company’s shares on the Stock Exchange. On 6 January 2017, a formal agreement was entered into between the Group and a subsidiary of Tongfang. As of the date of this report, Perfect Major has received HK$3 million from Tongfang as consideration for subscription of shares in Perfect Major. Tongfang has begun to initiate preliminary research on product development. The Company has undertaken market research and is in the process of establishing reliable distribution networks for Tongfang’s products in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. The cooperation with Tongfang is expected to distribute Tongfang’s products to the Gruop’s existing markets and customers.

2.2 BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

Proposed restructuring of the Group (continued)

Nonetheless, similar to the case with the Resumption Proposal submitted by the Company on 19 July 2015, the Listing Division notified the Company on 26 September 2016 that it considered the Revised Proposal not viable and recommended that the Listing Committee approves the cancellation of listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange under Practice Note 17 to the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to a letter from the Stock Exchange dated 14 October 2016, the Listing Committee considered that although the Company has made certain progress in its mobile handset design and distribution business, the Revised Proposal still does not satisfactorily demonstrate that the Company will carry out a sufficient level of operations or have assets of sufficient value as required under Rule 13.24 of the Listing Rules to warrant a continued listing. The Listing Committee considered the Revised Proposal not viable and therefore decided to cancel the listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange with effect from 9:00 am on 31 October 2016 (the “Second Stage Ruling”).

The Company submitted a formal request to the Stock Exchange on 25 October 2016 for a review of the Second Stage Ruling by the Listing (Review) Committee.

Following the review hearing of the Listing (Review) Committee held on 14 February 2017, the Listing (Review) Committee informed the Company by a letter dated 22 February 2017 that it decided to conditionally stay the cancellation of listing of the Company’s shares on the Stock Exchange (the “Decision”). The stay of the cancellation is for the specific purpose of allowing the Company an opportunity to provide all relevant information stated in the Revised Proposal within three months from the date of the Decision to prove its resumption case to the Stock Exchange’s satisfaction.

A written update in relation to the revised proposal was subsequently submitted to the Stock Exchange on 24 April 2017. As at the date of this report, the Stock Exchange is still reviewing the written update. The Company will keep the shareholders and investors informed of the latest development by making further announcement(s) as and when appropriate.

2.2 BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

Proposed restructuring of the Group (continued)

As of the date of this report, the management has used its best effort, to the extent commercially practicable, to reconstruct the accounting records of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2017 applying their best estimates and judgement based on the information of the Group that are available to the management. However, given the loss of some books and records and serious doubts over the reliability of the Group’s accounting and other records (except the accounting and other records in relation to the business of SPVs, which were incorporated after the appointment of the Provisional Liquidators), the Board believes that, as at the date of the report, it is almost impossible, and not practical, to ascertain the correct revenue and profit or loss (and the resultant assets and liabilities) for the current period for inclusion in the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the group other than the revenue and profit or loss (and the resultant assets and liabilities) in relation to the business of SPVs. Also, due to loss of some books and records, the Board believes that it is almost impossible, and not practical, to verify the financial information as reported in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for past years.

Any adjustments arising from the matters described above would have a consequential significant effect on the net profit of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2017 and the net assets of the Group as at 31 March 2017.

Due to the limited information available and most of the former key accounting personnel of the Group have left without notice, the Directors were unable to obtain sufficient documentary information to satisfy themselves regarding the completeness of books and records and the treatment of various balances as included in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017 and have formed the conclusion as follows:

As the consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the incomplete books and records available to the Company, the Directors of the Company are unable to represent that all transactions entered into by the Group for the year ended 31 March 2017 have been properly reflected in the consolidated financial statements. In this connection, the Directors of the Company are also unable to represent as to the completeness, existence and accuracy of identification of the consolidated financial statements and the disclosures of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Listing Rules.

2.3 APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

The IASB has issued a number of amendments to IFRSs that are first effective for the current accounting period of the Group.

The following new standards and amendments are mandatory for the current year and have no significant impact on the results or financial position to the Group.

Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 Investment Entities: Applying the Consolidation Exception Amendments to IFRS 11 Accounting for Acquisition of Interests in Joint Operations IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts Amendments to IAS 1 Disclosure Initiative Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 41 Agriculture: Bearer Plants Amendments to IAS 27 Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements Amendments to IFRSs Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012-2014 Cycle

The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period.

2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Subsidiaries

A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity), directly or indirectly, controlled by the Company. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee (that is, existing rights that give the Group the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).

An investment in a subsidiary in consolidated into the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control cases. Intra-group balances, transactions and cash flows and any unrealised profits arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

APPENDIX I

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 March 2017

2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Subsidiaries (continued)

When the Company has, directly or indirectly, less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

  • (a) the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;

  • (b) rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

  • (c) the Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises (i) the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary, (ii) the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest and (iii) the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity; and recognises (i) the fair value of the consideration received, (ii) the fair value of any investment retained and (iii) any resulting surplus or deficit in profit or loss. The Group’s share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss or retained profits, as appropriate, on the same basis as would be required if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

Investments in associates

An associate is an entity, in which the Group has a long term interest of generally not less than 20% of the equity voting rights and over which it is in a position to exercise significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies.

The Group’s investments in associates are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at the Group’s share of net assets under the equity method of accounting, less any impairment losses.

APPENDIX I

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the year ended 31 March 2017

2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Investments in associates (continued)

Under the equity method, the investment is initially recorded at cost, adjusted for any excess of the Group’s share of the acquisition-date fair values of the investee’s identifiable net assets over the cost of the investment (if any). Thereafter, the investment is adjusted for the post acquisition change in the Group’s share of the investee’s net assets and any impairment loss relating to the investment. Any acquisition-date excess over cost, the Group’s share of the post-acquisition, post-tax results of the investees and any impairment losses for the year are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, whereas the Group’s share of the post-acquisition posttax items of the investees’ other comprehensive income is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associates, the Group recognizes its share of any changes, when applicable, in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s investments in associates, except where unrealised losses provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Goodwill arising from the acquisition of associates is included as part of the Group’s investments in associates.

When an investment in an associate is classified as held for sale, it is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Business combinations and goodwill

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred is measured at the acquisition date fair value which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of assets transferred by the Group, liabilities assumed by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the previously held equity interest is remeasured at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability is measured at fair value with changes in fair value either recognised in profit or loss. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured and subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount recognised for noncontrolling interests and any fair value of the Group’s previously held equity interests in the acquiree over the identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the sum of this consideration and other items is lower than the fair value of the net assets acquired, the difference is, after reassessment, recognised in profit or loss as a gain on bargain purchase.

Business combinations and goodwill (continued)

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The Group performs its annual impairment test of goodwill as at 31 March. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units.

Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cashgenerating units) to which the goodwill relates. Where the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

When goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on the disposal. Goodwill disposed of in these circumstances is measured based on the relative value of the disposed operation and the portion of the cashgenerating unit retained.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If some or all of the goodwill allocated to a cashgenerating unit was acquired in a business combination during the current annual period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

On disposal of the relevant cash generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

Fair value measurement

The Group measures its financial assets at fair value through profit or loss at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 – based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

  • Level 2 – based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is observable, either directly or indirectly

  • Level 3 – based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Where an indication of impairment exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required (other than inventories and financial assets), the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs.

Where an indication of impairment exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required (other than inventories and financial assets), the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal, and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case, the recoverable amount is determined for the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs.

An impairment loss is recognised only if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is charged to the statement of profit or loss in the period in which it arises in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period as to whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss of an asset other than goodwill is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount of that asset, but not to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any depreciation/ amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of such an impairment loss is credited to the statement of profit or loss in the period in which it arises.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment, other than construction in progress, are stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses:

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment, less their estimated residual value, if any, using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Plant and equipment 3 to 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 5 years

Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, the cost of the item is allocated on a reasonable basis between the parts and each part is depreciated separately. Both the useful life of an asset and its residual value, if any, are reviewed annually.

Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Cost may also include transfers from equity of any gains/losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are determined as the difference between the net proceeds on disposal and the carrying amount of the item and are recognised in profit or loss on the date of retirement or disposal.

Properties, plant and equipment in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy. Such properties, plant and equipment are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Leases

An arrangement, comprising a transaction or a series of transactions, is or contains a lease if the Group determines that the arrangement conveys right to use a specific asset or assets for an agreed period of time in return for a payment or a series of payments. Such a determination is made based on an evaluation of the substance of the arrangement and is regardless of whether the arrangement takes the legal from of a lease.

Leases that transfer substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets to the Group, other than legal title, are accounted for as finance leases. At the inception of a finance lease, the cost of the leased asset is capitalised at the present value of the minimum lease payments and recorded together with the obligation, excluding the interest element, to reflect the purchase and financing. Assets held under capitalised finance leases, including prepaid land lease payments under financial leases, are included in property, plant and equipment, and depreciated over the shorter of lease terms and the estimated useful lives of the assets. The finance costs of such leases are charged to the statement of profit or loss so as to provide a constant periodic rate of charge over the lease terms.

Assets acquired through hire purchase contracts of a financing nature are accounted for as finance leases, but are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of assets remain with the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Where the Group is the lessor, assets leased by the Group under operating leases are included in non-current assets, and rentals receivable under the operating leases are credited to the statement of profit or loss on the straight-line basis over the lease terms. Where the Group is the lessee, rentals payable under the operating leases are charged to the statement of profit or loss on the straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Prepaid land lease payments under operating leases are initially stated at cost and subsequently recognised on the straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Investments and other financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial investments, as appropriate. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets, except in the case of financial assets recorded at fair value through profit or loss.

All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date, that is, the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of sale in the near term.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with positive net changes in fair value presented as other income and gains and negative net changes in fair value presented as finance costs in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. These net fair value changes do not include any interest earned on these financial assets, which are recognised in accordance with the policy set out for “Revenue recognition” below.

Financial assets designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss are designated at the date of initial recognition and only if the criteria in IAS 39 are satisfied.

Investments and other financial assets (continued)

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less any allowance for impairment. Amortised cost is calculated taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and includes fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in other income and gains in the statement of profit or loss. The loss arising from impairment is recognised in the statement of profit or loss in finance costs for loans and in other expenses for receivables.

Available-for-sale financial investments

Available-for-sale financial investments are non-derivative financial assets in listed and unlisted equity investments and debt securities. Equity investments classified as available for sale are those which are neither classified as held for trading nor designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Debt securities in this category are those which are intended to be held for an indefinite period of time and which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or in response to changes in market conditions.

After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial investments are subsequently measured at fair value, with unrealised gains or losses recognised as other comprehensive income in the available-for-sale investment revaluation reserve until the investment is derecognised, at which time the cumulative gain or loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss in other income, or until the investment is determined to be impaired, when the cumulative gain or loss is reclassified from the available-for-sale investment revaluation reserve to the statement of profit or loss in other gains or losses. Interest and dividends earned whilst holding the available-for-sale financial investments are reported as interest income and dividend income, respectively and are recognised in the statement of profit or loss as other income in accordance with the policies set out for “Revenue recognition” below.

When the fair value of unlisted equity investments cannot be reliably measured because (a) the variability in the range of reasonable fair value estimates is significant for that investment or (b) the probabilities of the various estimates within the range cannot be reasonably assessed and used in estimating fair value, such investments are stated at cost less any impairment losses.

Investments and other financial assets (continued)

Available-for-sale financial investments (continued)

The Group evaluates whether the ability and intention to sell its available-for-sale financial assets in the near term are still appropriate. When, in rare circumstances, the Group is unable to trade these financial assets due to inactive markets, the Group may elect to reclassify these financial assets if management has the ability and intention to hold the assets for the foreseeable future or until maturity.

For a financial asset reclassified from the available-for-sale category, the fair value carrying amount at the date of reclassification becomes its new amortised cost and any previous gain or loss on that asset that has been recognised in equity is amortised to profit or loss over the remaining life of the investment using the effective interest rate. Any difference between the new amortised cost and the maturity amount is also amortised over the remaining life of the asset using the effective interest rate. If the asset is subsequently determined to be impaired, then the amount recorded in equity is reclassified to the statement of profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised (that is., removed from the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position) when:

  • the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or

  • the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset, or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risk and rewards of ownership of the asset. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transferred the control of the asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset to the extent of the Group’s continuing involvement. In this case, the Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has retained.

2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. An impairment exists if one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that a debtor or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter into bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation and observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

Financial assets carried at amortised cost

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the Group first assesses whether impairment exists individually for financial assets that are individually significant, or collectively for financial assets that are not individually significant. If the Group determines that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, it includes the asset in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assesses them for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for which an impairment loss is, or continues to be, recognised are not included in a collective assessment of impairment.

The amount of any impairment loss identified is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (that is, the effective interest rate computed at initial recognition).

The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss. Interest income continues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount and is accrued using the rate of interest used to discount the future cash flows for the purpose of measuring the impairment loss. Loans and receivables together with any associated allowance are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery and all collateral has been realised or has been transferred to the Group.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a write-off is later recovered, the recovery is credited to other expenses in the statement of profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets (continued)

Assets carried at cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has been incurred on an unquoted equity instrument that is not carried at fair value because its fair value cannot be reliably measured, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Impairment losses on these assets are not reversed.

Available-for-sale financial investments

For available-for-sale financial investments, the Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that an investment or a group of investments is impaired.

If an available-for-sale asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in the statement of profit or loss, is removed from other comprehensive income and recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, objective evidence would include a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment below its cost. “Significant” is evaluated against the original cost of the investment and “prolonged” against the period in which the fair value has been below its original cost. Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognised in the statement of profit or loss – is removed from other comprehensive income and recognised in the statement of profit or loss. Impairment losses on equity instruments classified as available for sale are not reversed through the statement of profit or loss. Increases in their fair value after impairment are recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and bills payables, accruals and other payables, interest-bearing bank borrowings, trust receipt loan, finance lease payables, and tax payables.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows:

Loans and borrowings

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. Gains and losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised as well as through the effective interest rate amortisation process.

Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included in finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled, or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and a recognition of a new liability, and the difference between the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

Inventories

Inventories represent trading merchandise and direct costs incurred for IT contract work in progress and are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on the weighted average basis and, in the case of work in progress and finished goods, comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling prices less any estimated costs to be incurred to completion and disposal.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and short term highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and have a short maturity of generally within three months when acquired, less bank overdrafts which are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management.

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of financial position, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and at banks, including term deposits, and assets similar in nature to cash, which are not restricted as to use.

Provisions

A provision is recognised when a present obligation (legal or constructive) has arisen as a result of a past event and it is probable that a future outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, provided that a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the effect of discounting is material, the amount recognised for a provision is the present value at the end of the reporting period of the future expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation. The increase in the discounted present value amount arising from the passage of time is included in finance costs in the statement of profit or loss.

Income tax

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, taking into consideration interpretations and practices prevailing in the countries in which the Group operates.

Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the end of the reporting period between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except:

  • when the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Income tax (continued)

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carryforward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carryforward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except:

  • when the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

  • in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and when the revenue can be measured reliably, on the following bases:

  • (a) from the sale of goods, when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer, provided that the Group maintains neither managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership, nor effective control over the goods sold;

  • (b) from the rendering of services, on the percentage of completion basis, as further explained in the accounting policy for “Contract for services” below; and

  • (c) interest income, on an accrual basis using the effective interest method by applying the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, when appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Contracts for services

Contract revenue on the rendering of services comprises the agreed contract amount. Costs of rendering services comprise labour and other costs of personnel directly engaged in providing the services and attributable overheads.

Revenue from the rendering of services is recognised based on the percentage of completion of the transaction, provided that the revenue, the costs incurred and the estimated costs to completion can be measured reliably. The percentage of completion is established by reference to the costs incurred to date as compared to the total costs to be incurred under the transaction. Where the outcome of a contract cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent that the expenses incurred are eligible to be recovered.

Provision is made for foreseeable losses as soon as they are anticipated by management.

2.4 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Share-based payments

The Company operates a share option scheme for the purpose of providing incentives and rewards to eligible participants who contribute to the success of the Group’s operations. Employees (including directors) of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (“equity-settled transactions”).

The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees for grants after 7 November 2012 is measured by reference to the fair value at the date on which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an external valuer using a binomial model, further details of which are given in note 30 to the financial statements.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefit expense. The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at the end of each reporting period until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The charge or credit to the statement of profit or loss for a period represents the movement in the cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period.

For awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met, no expense is recognised. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transaction are treated as vesting irrespective of whether or not the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied.

Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified, if the original terms of the award are met. In addition, an expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payments, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

Where an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. This includes any award where non vesting conditions within the control of either the Group or the employee are not met. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award, and is designated as a replacement award on the date it is granted, the cancelled and new awards are treated as if they were a modification of the original award, as described in the previous paragraph.

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of earnings per share.

Employee benefits

Pension scheme

The employees of the Group’s operation in Mainland China are required to participate in a central pension scheme operated by the local municipal government. The Group is required to contribute certain percentage of its payroll costs to the central pension scheme. The contributions are charged to the statements of profit or loss as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the central pension scheme.

The Group operates a defined contribution Mandatory Provident Fund retirement benefits scheme (the “MPF Scheme”) under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance for all of its employees in Hong Kong. Contributions are made based on a percentage of the employees’ basic salaries and are charged to the statement of profit or loss as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the MPF Scheme. The assets of the MPF Scheme are held separately from those of the Group in an independently administered fund. The Group’s employer contributions vest fully with the employees when contributed into the MPF Scheme.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an assets, which necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. The capitalisation of such borrowing costs ceases when the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs capitalised. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.

Dividends

Final dividends proposed by the directors are classified as a separate allocation of retained profits within the equity section of the statement of financial position, until they have been approved by the shareholders in a general meeting. When these dividends have been declared and approved by the shareholders, they are recognised as a liability.

Foreign currencies

These financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (“US$”) which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency. Foreign currency transactions recorded by the entities in the Group are initially recorded using their respective functional currency rates prevailing at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency rates of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting period. Differences arising on settlement or translation of monetary items are recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions dates. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was measured. The gain or loss arising from translation of a non-monetary item measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of the gain or loss on changes in fair value of the item (that a translation differences on the item whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss is also recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss, respectively.

The functional currencies of certain overseas subsidiaries and associates are currencies other than US$. As at the end of the reporting period, the assets and liabilities of these entities are translated into the presentation currency of the Company at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period and their statement of profit or loss are translated into US$ at the weighted average exchange rates for the year. The resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve. On the disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, the cash flows of overseas subsidiaries are translated into US$ at the exchange rates ruling at the dates of the cash flows. Frequently recurring cash flows of overseas subsidiaries which arise throughout the year are translated into US$ at the weighted average exchange rates for the year.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and their accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities affected in the future.

Judgements

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements, apart from those involving estimations, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below.

Impairment of interests in subsidiaries and associates

The Company assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment for interests in subsidiaries and associates at the end of each reporting period. Interests in subsidiaries and associates are tested for impairment when there are indicators that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. When value in use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future cash flows from the asset and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

Impairment on trade and other receivables

The policy for impairment allowances on trade and other receivables of the Group is based on the evaluation of collectability and aging analysis of accounts and on management’s judgement. A considerable amount of judgement is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness and the past collection history of each customer. If the financial conditions of customers of the Group were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Estimation uncertainty (continued)

Allowance for obsolete and slow moving of inventories

The management of the Group reviews an aging analysis of inventories at the end of each reporting period, and makes provision for obsolete and slow-moving inventory items identified that are no longer suitable for sales. The management estimates the net realisable value for such inventories based primarily on the latest invoice prices and current market conditions. The Group carries out an inventory review on a product-by-product basis at the end of each reporting period and makes allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Impairment of non-financial assets (other than goodwill)

The Group assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment for all non-financial assets at the end of each reporting period. Non-financial assets are tested for impairment when there are indicators that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or a cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. When value in use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future cash flows from the asset or cash-generating unit and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

4. COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

5. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Group manages its business by division, which are organised by business lines. In a manner consistent with the way in which information is reported internally to the Group’s executive directors, the chief operating decision maker, for the purposes of resources allocation and performance assessment, the Group has presented the following one reportable segment. No operating segments have been aggregated to form the following reportable segment.

Trading of mobile handsets

The trading of mobile handsets segment derives its revenue primarily from the sale and distribution of mobile handsets.

a) Segment results, assets and liabilities

For the purposes of assessing segment performance and allocating resources between segments, the Group’s executive directors monitors the results, assets and liabilities attributable to each reportable segment on the following bases:

Segment assets include all tangible, intangible assets and current assets with the exception of interests in associates, financial assets through profit or loss and other corporate assets. Segment liabilities include provisions and trade and other payables attributable to the activities of the individual segment and borrowings managed directly by the segment.

Revenue and expenses are allocated to the reportable segments with reference to sales generated by the segment and the expenses incurred by those segment or which otherwise arise from the depreciation or amortisation of assets attributable to those segment.

The measure used for reporting segment profit is “adjusted EBITDA”, that is, “adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization”, where “interest” is regarded as including investment income and “depreciation and amortisation” is regarded as including impairment losses on non-current assets. To arrive at adjusted EBITDA the Group’s earnings are further adjusted for items not specifically attributed to individual segments, such as share of profits less losses of associates, directors’ emoluments and other head office or corporate administrative costs.

  • a) Hong Kong profits tax has been provided at the rate of 16.5% (2016: 16.5%) on the estimated assessable profits arising in Hong Kong during the year. Taxes on profits assessable elsewhere have been calculated at the rates of tax prevailing in the countries (or jurisdictions) in which the Group operates.

PRC Enterprise Income Tax is calculated at 25% based on the new PRC Enterprise Income Tax law passed by the Tenth National People’s Congress on 16 March 2007.

According to the current applicable laws of the Macau, Macau Complementary Tax is calculated at a progressive rate from 9% to 12% on the estimated assessable profits for the year with first two hundred thousand patacas (“MOP”) assessable profits being free from tax. However, VIM Technology Macao Commercial Offshore Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, was in compliance with the Decree-Law No. 58/99/M of the Macau and thus, the profits generated by the subsidiary was exempted from the Macau Complementary Tax. Further, in the opinion of the Directors, that portion of the Group’s profit is not at present subject to taxation in any other jurisdictions in which the Group operates.

The calculation of basic earnings per share attributable to owners of the Company is based on the profit for the year attributable to owners of the Company of US$1,374,870 (profit of 2016: US$374,467) and the weighted average number of 762,687,662 (2016: 762,687,662) ordinary shares in issue during the year.

Diluted

On the basis that the relevant books and records are either lost or are incomplete, there is no accurate information to calculate the diluted earnings per share. Therefore, diluted earnings per share equals to the basic earnings per share for the years ended 31 March 2017 and 31 March 2016.

As disclosed in note 2.2, as the profit attributable to owners of the Company may not be accurate, no representation is made by the Board as to the accuracy of the earnings per share of the Company as of the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements.

16. INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES (continued)

According to the laws and regulations in the PRC, a foreign investor is not allowed to acquire 100% equity interest in an advertising enterprise in the PRC, such as Shenzhen Jingying, unless such foreign investor is a qualified foreign funded advertising enterprise. All group companies now comprising Noosa Group are not qualified as a foreign funded advertising enterprise.

To comply with laws and regulations of the PRC that restrict foreign ownership of companies that operate advertising and media businesses as detailed above, Noosa Group engages in such restricted business in the PRC through entering into a set of agreements (the “Structured Agreements”) with Shenzhen Jingying. Details of the Structured Agreements are disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 10 August 2012.

Based on the Structured Agreements, the Directors have exercised judgements and determined that, notwithstanding the lack of equity ownership, Noosa Group has in substance obtained the control over the 100% equity interest of Shenzhen Jingying and Shenzhen Jingying should be classified as a subsidiary of Noosa Group.

28. SHARE CAPITAL (continued)

The Group sets the amount of capital in proportion to risk. The Group manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the payment of dividends, issue new shares, buy-back shares, raise new debts, redeem existing debts or sell assets to reduce debts.

The Group monitors capital on the basis of the debt-to-adjusted capital ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by adjusted capital. Net debt is calculated as total debts included interest-bearing bank borrowings, trust receipt loan, other borrowings and amount due to investors – Escrow account plus unaccrued proposed dividends less cash and cash equivalents. Adjusted capital comprises all components of equity (that is, share capital, share premium, retained earnings, other reserves and any non-controlling interests) less unaccrued proposed dividends and includes some forms of subordinated debts.

The Group’s strategy was to maintain the debt-to-adjusted capital ratio at the lowest as possible, in order to secure access to finance at a reasonable cost. The net debt-to-adjusted capital ratio at the end of the reporting period is as follows:

2017 2016
US$ US$

Less: cash and cash equivalents
82,659,577

Total equity and adjusted capital 1,934,258 559,388
Net debt-to-adjusted capital ratio 4,073% 14,484%

According to the Hong Kong Listing Rules on the Stock Exchange, at least 25% of the Company’s shares should be held in the hands of the public.

As disclosed in note 2.2, on the basis that the relevant books and records are either lost or are incomplete, no representation is made by the Board as to the completeness, existence and accuracy of the share capital of the Group as of the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements.

29. SHARE OPTION SCHEME

The Company operates a share option scheme 2010 (the “2010 Scheme”) for the purpose of providing incentives and rewards to eligible participants who contribute to the success of the Group’s operations. Eligible participants of the Scheme include the Group’s directors, including independent non-executive directors, confirmed employees of the Group, the controlling shareholders and their associates. The Scheme became effective on 11 February 2010 and, unless otherwise cancelled or amended, will remain in force for 10 years from that date.

The maximum number of unexercised share options currently permitted to be granted under the 2010 Scheme is an amount equivalent, upon their exercise, to 10% of the shares of the Company in issue at any time. The maximum number of shares issuable under share options to each eligible participant in the 2010 Scheme within any 12-month period is limited to 1% of the shares of the Company in issue at any time. Any further grant of share options in excess of this limit is subject to shareholders’ approval in a general meeting.

Share options granted to a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company, or to any of their respective associates (including discretionary trust in which any Connected Persons are beneficiary), are subject to approval in advance by the independent non-executive directors. In addition, any share options granted to a substantial shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) or an independent nonexecutive director of the Company, or to any their respective associates, in excess of 0.1% of the shares of the Company in issue at any time or with an aggregate value (based on the price of the Company’s shares at the date of grant) in excess of HK$5 million, within any 12-month period, are subject to shareholders’ approval in advance in a general meeting.

The offer of a grant of share options may be accepted within 21 days from the date of offer, upon payment of a nominal consideration of HK$1 in total by the grantee. The grant of 2010 Scheme shall be made to a participant by letter in such form as the Remuneration Committee (“RC”), a committee of directors who are duly authorized and appointed by the Board to administer the 2010 Scheme for the time being pursuant to the Code of Corporate Governance under SGX Listing Manual, may from time to time determine.

Subject to the provisions of the 2010 Scheme, the Bermuda Companies Act, the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST and the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the RC may, when making the offer, impose any conditions, restrictions or limitations in relation thereto as it may at its absolute discretion think fit.

The exercise price of share options is determinable by the RC, but may not be less than the higher of (i) the closing price of the Company’s shares on a business day as stated in the daily quotations sheet issued by the Stock Exchange or the closing price of the Company’s shares as stated in the daily quotations sheet issued by the SGXST; (ii) the average closing prices of the Company’s shares as stated in the daily quotations sheets issued by the Stock Exchange or the average closing prices of the shares as stated in the daily quotations sheets issued by SGXST for the five consecutive business days immediately preceding the offer date; or (iii) the nominal value of a share on the offer date.

Under the 2010 Scheme, if the share options remain unexercised after a period of 10 years from 11 February 2010, the share options expire. Share options are forfeited if the employee leaves the Group before the share options vest. In the event that the grantee ceases to be a participant for any reason (other than on his death) including the termination of his employment or engagement on one or more of the grounds specified in the 2010 Scheme, the options granted to such grantee will lapse on the date of such cessation (to the extent not already exercised) and will not be exercisable unless the RC otherwise determines to grant an extension (which shall not be more than 1 month from the date of cessation) at the absolute discretion of the RC in which event the grantee may exercise the options within such period of extension.

Business model of the group

The Group is principally engaged in the distribution and marketing of mobile handset and its components, which are mainly carried out by the SPVs. The mobile handsets distributed and marketed by the Group mainly include 2G features phones and 3G/4G smart phones.

Supply of mobile handset products

To ensure stable supply, the SPVs have entered into long term supply contracts with assembly plants located in Shenzhen, PRC. The supply contracts set out details of the agreed terms of the assembly of mobile handsets to be performed by the assembly plants to govern the assembly arrangements between the SPVs and the assembly plants.

Sales and marketing

Based on the customers’ specific requirements, the SPVs design a mobile handset and present the customers with a mock up for their confirmation.

The research and development team works closely with the sales and marketing team to assist them in the introduction of the latest market trend to the customers.

Assembling of mobile handsets

Once the customer has placed the purchase order with the SPVs with the confirmed specifications and design, the SPVs arrange the assembly plants to produce the mould and tolling for mass production of mobile handsets.

The SPVs are responsible for sourcing and procuring certain raw materials and components to be used in the assembling of the mobile handset. Then the assembly plants place orders directly with the suppliers of raw materials and components designated by the SPVs to purchase the appropriate raw materials and components for the assembling of the mobile handsets. This cuts short any logistical delay had the SPVs made its own materials procurement.

The mobile handsets are functionally tested according to the customers’ specifications and requirements before the end-products are accepted for delivery to the customers by the assembly plants.

Potential Litigation

Prior to the Company went into provisional liquidation, one of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary”) entered into a Receivables Purchase Agreement with a financial institution in Hong Kong and the Subsidiary has assigned the outstanding debts of approximately US$46 million owed by its customer to the financial institution.

Subsequently, there were disputes over the outstanding debts owed by the Customer as the Customer claimed that it had cancelled its purchase orders with the Company’s subsidiary. Hence, the Customer alleged that there was no outstanding payment due (“the Dispute”).

The Provisional Liquidators subsequently received an arbitration notice from the Shenzhen Court of International Arbitration (“SCIA”) in respect of the Dispute (“the Notice”). It is stated on the Notice that the Customer initiated an arbitration request at the SCIA regarding the Dispute and would like the Provisional Liquidators to attend to the requests on behalf of the Company’s subsidiary.

The Provisional Liquidators have since then engaged a legal advisor in the PRC to advise on the arbitration. As of the Latest Practicable Date, a court hearing has yet to be scheduled. In the event that the SCIA hands down an award in favour of the customer, certain court fees (in addition to the legal fees) will be payable by the Subsidiary (instead of the Company) but the quantum is yet to be determined. The disputed amount of approximately US$46 million which was assigned to a financial institution by the Subsidiary which has the benefit of a guarantee granted by the Company. The potential claim of the financial institution under the guarantee is currently treated as a potential claim and, if it crystalises, as an unsecured claim. If such claim is admitted under the Schemes, the financial institution will participate in the distribution of the Scheme Cash Consideration in accordance with the terms of the Schemes. Any claim under the guarantee (if admitted) would be subject to adjustments in accordance with the terms of the Schemes. Thus, in the event that the SCIA hands down an award in favour of the financial institution and the financial institution’s claim under the guarantee may be adjusted under the terms of the Schemes in a corresponding amount.

11. MATERIAL CHANGE

Save as disclosed below, the Directors confirmed that as at the Latest Practicable Date, there had been no material changes in the financial or trading position or outlook of the Group since 31 March 2017, being the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Company were made up to the Latest Practicable Date:

  1.

The increase in revenue was mainly due to (i) increase in sales of mobile handset in the South Asia market; and (ii) increase in sales of smart phone, which has a higher unit price. As a result, gross profit for the four months period ended 31 July 2017 increased to US$1.8 million, representing approximately 54.5% of the gross profit for the year ended 31 March 2017 of US$3.3 million, as compared to a gross profit of US$0.6 million for the four months period ended 31 July 2016 representing approximately 18.2% of the gross profit for the year ended 31 March 2017.

The increase in selling and distribution expenses was mainly due to the (i) increase in sales; and (ii) increase in marketing expenses of advertising and participating trade shows, etc.

  3. For the four months period ended 31 July 2017, the restructuring cost incurred for the Company increased to US$0.6 million, as compared to the restructuring cost of US$0.2 million for the year ended 31 March 2017. The increase in restructuring cost was mainly due to milestone payment on professional fees reached upon the approval from Listing Committee on the Proposed Restructuring.

  4. As a result of the combined effect of item (1) to (3) above, as well as an increase in administrative expense and finance costs, profit before tax for the four months period ended 31 July 2017 increased to US$0.6 million, representing approximately 33.3% of the profit before tax for the year ended 31 March 2017 of US$1.8 million, as compared to US$0.2 million for the four months period ended 31 July 2016, representing approximately 11.1% of the profit before tax for the year ended 31 March 2017.

Crowe Horwath (HK) CPA Limited, being the auditor of the Company, issued disclaimer of opinion on the Group’s financial statement for three years ended 31 March 2015, 2016 and 2017. The qualifications contained in the auditor’s reports are extracted below:

Basis of Disclaimer of Opinion

Incomplete books and record

Up to the date of this report, given the loss of some books and records and serious doubts over the reliability of the Group’s accounting and other records, the directors of the Company believes that, it is almost impossible, and not practical, to ascertain the correct revenue and profit or loss (and the resultant assets and liabilities) for the current year for inclusion in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. Also, due to loss of some books and records, the directors of the Company believes that it is almost impossible, and not practical, to verify the financial information as reported in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for past years. We were therefore unable to carry out satisfactory audit procedures to obtain reasonable assurance regarding the completeness, accuracy, existence, valuation, classification and disclosures of the transactions of the Group.

APPENDIX I

Given these circumstances, which are more fully disclosed in note 2.2 to the financial statements, there were no practicable audit procedures that we could perform to satisfy ourselves that the information and documents presented to us for the purpose of our audit are complete and accurate in all material respects, nor to quantify the extent of adjustments that might be necessary in respect of the Group’s financial information.

As a result, in performing our audit on the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2015, there were no practicable audit procedures that we could perform to satisfy ourselves that whether the balances of assets, liabilities and reserves as at 1 April 2013, 31 March 2014 and 31 March 2015 were fairy stated.

Any adjustments found to be necessary in respect thereof had we been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence would have had a consequential effect on the net assets of the Group as at 1 April 2013, 31 March 2014 and 31 March 2015 and of its loss for the current and prior years, and the related disclosures thereof in the consolidated financial statements.

Included in the Company’s statement of financial position are investment in a subsidiary of US$2,622,935 and US$2,622,935 and due from subsidiaries of US$69,471,270 and US$69,471,270 as at 31 March 2015 and 2014 respectively. Due to the scope limitations as mentioned above, we are unable to satisfy ourselves as to the fairness of the amounts carried as investment in a subsidiary and due from subsidiaries in the Company’s financial statements or to determine whether any provision for impairment loss is necessary in respect of the above. Any adjustments would have a consequential effect on the net assets of the Company as at 31 March 2015 and 31 March 2014 and of its net loss for the years then ended and the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

Our audit opinion on the Group’s financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2014 was also disclaimed accordingly.

Insufficient audit evidence in respect of loss on deconsolidation

As set out in note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the Group recorded amount of loss on deconsolidation of US$22,019,728. The Group could not access the books and records of the subsidiaries, and the directors considered that the control over these subsidiaries has been lost. Because of the loss of certain accounting books and records of the Deconsolidated Subsidiaries, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to determine whether the loss on deconsolidation for the year ended 31 March 2015 were free from material misstatement.

APPENDIX I

Non-compliance with IFRSs and omission of disclosures

As explained in note 2.2 to the financial statements, as the consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared by the directors based on incomplete books and records, the directors believe they are almost impossible and not practicable to ascertain the correct amounts. Consequently, the directors of the Company were unable to confirm that the financial statements comply with IFRSs, or that the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited have been complied with. Given these circumstances, which are more fully described in note 2.2, there were no practicable audit procedures that we could perform to quantify the extent of adjustments that might be necessary in respect of the Group’s financial statements.

Our audit opinion on the Group’s financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2014 was also disclaimed accordingly.

Material uncertainty related to going concern basis

In forming our opinion, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosures made in note 2.2 to the financial statements which explains that a proposal for the resumption of trading in the Company’s shares and the restructuring of the Group (the “Resumption Proposal”) was submitted to The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited on 19 July 2015.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis on the assumption that the proposed restructuring of the Company will be successfully completed, and that, following the restructuring, the Group will continue to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due in the foreseeable future. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from a failure to complete the restructuring. We consider that the disclosures are adequate. However, in view of the extent of the uncertainty relating to the completion of the restructuring, we disclaim our opinion in respect of the material uncertainty relating to the going concern basis of preparation of these financial statements.

Disclaimer of opinion

Because of the significance of the matters described in the basis for disclaimer of opinion paragraphs, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as to whether they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the Group as at 31 March 2015 and of the Group’s loss for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and as to whether the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

APPENDIX I

Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion

Scope limitation due to incomplete books and record

Up to the date of this report, given the loss of some books and records and serious doubts over the reliability of the Group’s accounting and other records, the directors of the Company believes that, it is almost impossible, and not practicable, to ascertain the correct revenue and profit or loss and the resultant assets and liabilities for the current year as included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. Also, due to loss of some books and records, the directors of the Company believes that it is almost impossible, and not practicable, to verify the financial information as reported in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for past years. In addition, during the course of our audit, we were unable to satisfy ourselves that the internal control and documentation provided by the management for the purpose of our audit was accurate in all material respects. We have therefore been unable to carry out satisfactory audit procedures to obtain reasonable assurance regarding the completeness, accuracy, existence, valuation, classification and disclosure of the transactions of the Group.

Given these circumstances, there were no practicable audit procedures that we could perform to satisfy ourselves that the information and explanations and documents presented to us for the purpose of our audit are complete and accurate in all material respects, nor to quantify the extent of any adjustments that might be necessary in respect of the Group’s financial information.

As a result, in performing our audit on the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2016, there were no practicable audit procedures that we could perform to satisfy ourselves that whether the balances of assets, liabilities and reserves as at 1 April 2015 and 31 March 2016 were fairy stated.

Any adjustments found to be necessary in respect thereof had we been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence would have had a consequential effect on the net assets of the Group as at 1 April 2015 and 31 March 2016 of its profit for the current year and loss for the prior years, and the related disclosures thereof in the consolidated financial statements.

Included in the Company’s statement of financial position is an investment in a subsidiary of US$2,622,935 and US$2,622,935 and due from subsidiaries of US$69,471,270 and US$69,471,270 as at 31 March 2016 and 31 March 2015 respectively. Due to the scope limitations as mentioned above, we are unable to satisfy ourselves as to the fairness of the amounts carried as investment in a subsidiary and the amount due from subsidiaries in the Company’s statements of financial position as at 31 March 2016 or to determine whether any provision for impairment loss is necessary in respect of the above. Any adjustments would have a consequential effect on the net assets of the Company as at 31 March 2016 and 31 March 2015 and of its net loss for the years then ended and the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

Our audit opinion on the Group’s financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2015 was also disclaimed accordingly.

Non-compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards and omission of disclosures

As explained in note 2.2 to the financial statements, as the consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared by the directors based on incomplete books and records and the directors believe they are almost impossible and not practical to ascertain the correct amounts. Consequently, the directors of the Company were unable to represent that the financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), or that the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Listing Rules have been complied with. Given these circumstances, there were no practicable audit procedures that we could perform to quantify the extent of adjustments that might be necessary in respect of the Group’s financial statements.

Our audit opinion on the Group’s financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2015 was also disclaimed accordingly.

Material uncertainty related to going concern basis

In forming our opinion, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosures made in note 2.2 to the financial statements which explains that the Resumption Proposal was submitted to the Stock Exchange on 19 July 2015. On 14 August 2015, the Company received a decision letter from the Listing Committee that the Resumption Proposal was considered not viable and the Company was placed in the third delisting stage under Practice Note 17 to the Listing Rules. On 24 August 2015, the Company requested for a review hearing of the Listing (Review) Committee for a ruling of the Listing Committee’s decision.

The review hearing was held on 17 December 2015. On 29 December 2015, the Company received the decision letter of the Listing (Review) Committee advising that the Listing (Review) Committee decided to uphold the Listing Committee’s decision. An announcement was made by the Stock Exchange on 6 January 2016 to place the Company into the third delisting stage with effect on the same day for a period of nine months. The Stock Exchange intends to cancel the listing of the Company after the nine-month period (i.e. 5 October 2016) if the Company does not provide a viable resumption proposal.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis on the assumption that the proposed restructuring of the Company will be successfully completed, and that, following the restructuring, the Group will continue to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due in the foreseeable future. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from a failure to complete the restructuring. We consider that the disclosures are adequate. However, in view of the extent of the uncertainties relating to the completion of the restructuring, we disclaim our opinion in respect of the material uncertainty relating to the going concern basis.

To the Board of Directors and Provisional Liquidators of

Z-Obee Holdings Limited (Provisional Liquidators Appointed)

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANT’S ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THE CIRCULAR IN CONNECTION WITH THE RESUMPTION PROPOSAL (THE “CIRCULAR”)

25 September 2017

Dear Sirs,

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of pro forma financial information of Z-Obee Holdings Limited (Provisional Liquidators Appointed) (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) by the directors and Provisional Liquidators for illustrative purposes only. The pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2017, unaudited consolidated statement of profit or loss and unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of cash flows of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2017 and related notes as set out on page II-1 to II-6 of the circular issued by the Company dated 25 September 2017. The applicable criteria on the basis of which the directors and Provisional Liquidators have compiled the pro forma financial information are described in pages II-1 to II-6.

The pro forma financial information has been compiled by the directors and Provisional Liquidators to illustrate the impact of the Group’s financial position as at 31 March 2017 and the Group’s financial performance and cash flows for the year ended 31 March 2017 as if the restructuring had taken place at 31 March 2017. As part of this process, information about the Group’s financial position and financial performance has been extracted by the directors and Provisional Liquidators from the Group’s financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017, on which a disclaimer audit report has been published, which are described on page I-214 to I-216. The consolidated statements of cash flow were prepared by the directors and Provisional Liquidation for illustrative purpose only.

As per the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017, the consolidated financial statements of the Group had been prepared by the directors based on incomplete books and records and the directors believed that it was almost impossible and not practical to ascertain the correct amounts. Consequently, the directors of the Company were unable to represent that the financial statements comply with IFRSs, or the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, including the omission of a consolidated statement of cash flow.

– II-7 –

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

Directors’ and Provisional Liquidators’ Responsibility for the Pro Forma Financial Information

The directors and Provisional Liquidators are responsible for compiling the pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”) and with reference to AG 7 Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).

Our Independence and Quality Control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the HKICPA, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior.

The firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 “Quality Control for Firms that Perform Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance and Related Services Engagements” and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Reporting Accountant’s Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the pro forma financial information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the pro forma financial information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements (HKSAE) 3420, Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus , issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountant comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the directors have compiled the pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules and with reference to AG 7 Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars issued by the HKICPA.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information.

The purpose of pro forma financial information included in the Circular is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the Group as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the event or transaction at 31 March 2017 would have been as presented.

– II-8 –

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX II

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the directors in the compilation of the pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

  • The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and

  • The pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant’s judgment, having regard to the reporting accountant’s understanding of the nature of the Group, the event or transaction in respect of which the pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the pro forma financial information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion:

  • (a) the pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis stated;

  • (b) such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group; and

  • (c) the adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the pro forma financial information as disclosed pursuant to paragraph 4.29(1) of the Listing Rules.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of

Crowe Horwath (HK) CPA Limited

(a) Potential litigations

Prior to the Company going into provisional liquidation, one of the Company’s subsidiaries entered into a Receivables Purchase Agreement with a financial institution in Hong Kong and the Subsidiary has assigned the outstanding debts of approximately US$46 million owed by its customer to the bank.

Subsequently, there were disputes over the outstanding debts as the customer claimed that it had cancelled its purchase orders with the Subsidiary. Hence, the customer alleged that there was no outstanding payment due (the “ Dispute ”).

The Provisional Liquidators subsequently received an arbitration notice from the Shenzhen Court of International Arbitration (“ SCIA ”) in respect of the Dispute (“ the Notice ”). It is stated on the Notice that the customer initiated an arbitration request at the SCIA regarding the Dispute and would like the Provisional Liquidators to attend to the requests on behalf of the Subsidiary.

The Provisional Liquidators have since then engaged a legal advisor in the PRC to advise on the arbitration. As of the Latest Practicable Date, a court hearing has yet to be scheduled. In the event that the SCIA hands down an award in favour of the customer, certain court fees (in addition to the legal fees) will be payable by the Subsidiary (instead of the Company) but the quantum is yet to be determined. The disputed amount of approximately US$46 million which was assigned to a financial institution by the Subsidiary which has the benefit of a guarantee granted by the Company. The potential claim of the financial institution under the guarantee is currently treated as a potential claim and, if it crystalises, as an unsecured claim. If such claim is admitted under the Schemes, the financial institution will participate in the distribution of the Scheme Cash Consideration in accordance with the terms of the Schemes. Any claim under the guarantee (if admitted) would be subject to adjustments in accordance with the terms of the Schemes. Thus, in the event that the SCIA hands down an award in favour of the financial institution and the financial institution’s claim under the guarantee may be adjusted under the terms of the Schemes in a corresponding amount.
