Amendments to HKFRSs Annual improvements to HKFRSs 2010–2012 Cycle Amendments to HKFRSs Annual improvements to HKFRSs 2011–2013 Cycle Amendments to HKAS 19 Defined benefit plans: Employee contributions Amendments to HKFRS 10, Investment entities HKFRS 12 and HKAS 27 Amendments to HKAS 32 Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities Amendments to HKAS 36 Recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial assets Amendments to HKAS 39 Novation of derivatives and continuation of hedge accounting HK(IFRIC)-Int 21 Levies
– 6 –
The application of the amendments to HKFRSs and a new interpretation 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 statement.
Part 9 of Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622)
In addition, the annual report requirements of Part 9 “Accounts and Audit” of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) come into operation during the financial year. As a result, there are changes to presentation and disclosures of certain information in the consolidated financial statements.
New and revised HKFRSs issued but not yet effective

| HKFRS 9 | Financial instruments1 |

HKFRS 9 “Financial instruments”
A final version of HKFRS 9 (that includes classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, impairment and general hedge accounting) was issued in 2014.
– 7 –
Key requirements of HKFRS 9 are described below:
-
All recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 “Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement” are subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value. Debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair value at the end of subsequent accounting periods.
-
An expected loss model (rather than an incurred loss model) has been adopted by HKFRS 9.
-
The new general hedge accounting requirements retain the three types of hedge accounting. However, greater flexibility has been introduced to the types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting, specifically broadening the types of instruments that qualify for hedging instruments and the types of risk components of non-financial items that are eligible for hedge accounting.
The directors of the Company will assess the impact of the application of HKFRS 9. For the moment, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect of the application of HKFRS 9 until the Group performs a detailed review.
HKFRS 15 “Revenue from contracts with customers”
In July 2014, HKFRS 15 was issued which establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. HKFRS 15 will supersede the current revenue recognition guidance including HKAS 18 “Revenue”, HKAS 11 “Construction contracts” and the related interpretations when it becomes effective.
The core principle of HKFRS 15 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:
-
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer
-
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
-
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
-
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
-
Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
– 8 –
Under HKFRS 15, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when control of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. Far more prescriptive guidance has been added in HKFRS 15 to deal with specific scenarios. Furthermore, extensive disclosures are required by HKFRS 15.
The directors of the Company anticipate that the HKFRS 15 may have significant impact on amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect of HKFRS 15 until the Group performs a detailed review.
The directors of the Company do not anticipate that the application of the other new and revised HKFRSs will have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Taxation arising in other jurisdictions is calculated at the rates prevailing in the relevant jurisdictions.
Under the Law of the PRC on Enterprise Income Tax (the “EIT Law”) and Implementation Regulation of the EIT Law, the tax rate of the Group’s subsidiaries in the PRC is 25% from 1 January 2008 onwards.

– 14 –
10. LOSS PER SHARE
The calculation of basic loss per share is based on the loss for the year attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$199,626,000 (2014: HK$1,052,066,000) divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 1,692,290,710 (2014: 757,613,229) in issue during the year.
The weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purposes of calculating basic and diluted loss per share in 2014 has been adjusted for the share consolidation and open offer as completed and disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 23 April 2015.
The computation of diluted loss per share for the years ended 30 September 2015 and 2014 is the same as the basic loss per share because the Company had no dilutive potential shares.

Notes:
- i. The Group obtained the mining rights granted by 赤峰市國土資源局 for the exploration of gold mine in certain area in Inner Mongolia in the PRC as part of a business combination in prior years. No amortisation was provided for the years ended 30 September 2015 and 2014 as the gold mines are still in a development stage and no mining activities are conducted.
At 30 September 2015, the management has engaged an independent professional valuer, Grant Sherman Appraisal Limited (“Grant Sherman”), to carry out valuations on the mining rights for the purposes of an impairment review on the mining rights. As the future income stream was still uncertain, Grant Sherman adopted the market based approach, and the recoverable amount was determined based on the fair value less cost to sell. Fair value less cost to sell was determined in a similar manner as in 2014. Based on the valuation report, an impairment loss of approximately HK$1,150,000 (2014: HK$27,359,000) was recognised for the year ended 30 September 2015.
-
ii. The distribution rights consist of:
-
(a) The distribution rights were related to an exclusive distributor to use the Gucci Marks in connection with the marketing, distribution, advertising, promoting and sale of the products in Hong Kong, Macau and the PRC in accordance with the distribution agreement signed between Luxury Timepieces (HK) Limited and Shenzhen Qijingda. The distribution agreement was for a five year period commencing from 1 January 2011. Amortisation is provided by using the straight line method over its remaining useful life. Based on valuation report prepared by Grant Sherman, no impairment loss was recognised for the year ended 30 September 2015 (2014: Nil).
-
(b) The distribution rights were acquired as part of a business combination in this year relating to an exclusive right of the products of “GIRARD-PERREGAUX” and “JEANRICHARD” (collectively, the “Brands”) in Hong Kong, Macau, the PRC and Taiwan in accordance with the distribution agreement signed between Sowind SA and Swiss Mechanical Times (Hong Kong) Limited. The distribution agreement was for a two year period commencing from 31 December 2014 assuming it would be renewable for further two years. Amortisation is provided by using straight line method over its remaining life. The management engaged Grant Sherman to carry out valuation on the distribution right for impairment review purpose. Grant Sherman adopted Multiperiod Excess Earnings Method (“MPEEM”) of an income based approach using expected cash flow projection based on financial budgets, approved by management covering the period of 3.3 years up to the expiry of the distribution agreement. Based on the valuation report prepared by Grant Sherman, an impairment loss of approximately HK$30,238,000 was recognised during the year ended 30 September 2015.
– 16 –
The major factors leading to a significant impairment loss being recognised for the year is mainly attributed to a significant decrease in the future income streams resulting from:
- sudden and wild Swiss Franc appreciation that happened on 15 January 2015 and this sudden appreciation led to substantial corresponding depreciation of the Euro and Yen. As a result, Europe and Japan prices of the Brands are at least 20% cheaper than those in the PRC, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The dealers in the said regions therefore refused to purchase to the new products from the Group. The distribution business is stalled.
Details of the reasons and events leading to the impairment were disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 13 August 2015.
Key assumptions used in the calculation of value of the distribution rights were discount rate, growth rate and budgeted revenue. The discount rate used 34.3% was a pre-tax measure based on the risk-free rate obtained from the yield on 10year bonds issued by the government in the relevant market, adjusted for a risk premium to reflect specific risks relating to the cash-generating units. Budgeted revenue has been based on past experience and future expectations in the light of anticipated economic and market conditions.
- iii. The trademarks were acquired as part of a business combination in prior years and are registered in Europe for selling various types of consumer goods, mainly luxury products under the trademark “Omas”. As the remaining useful life of the trademark ranged from six to eight years, and are entitled for renewal after expiry, the trademarks is considered by the management as having an infinitive useful life. The trademarks will not be amortised until its useful life is determined to be finite.
As stated in Note 20, the Group’s subsidiary owned the trademarks in Italy went to liquidation after the reporting period, and the carrying amount of trademark of approximately HK$5,981,000 at 30 September 2015 was accordingly fully impaired for the year ended 30 September 2015.
For the year ended 30 September 2014, based on the valuation report prepared by Grant Sherman, an impairment loss of approximately HK$41,561,000 was recognised for that year.

Impairment test:
Goodwill set out above has been allocated to the individual cash generating units (“CGU”) as at 30 September 2015. The carrying amounts of goodwill (net of accumulated impairment losses) at the end of the reporting period allocated to these are as follows:
| Export Domestic — Sinoforce Group Domestic — Other Mining |
2015 HK$’000 – – 29,555 – 29,555 |
2014 HK$’000 – – 29,555 – |
|---|---|---|
| 29,555 |
Export
The recoverable amount of the export CGU is the higher of the fair value less cost to sell or value-in-use. At 30 September 2014, the recoverable amount of this CGU was determined based on the fair value less costs to sell and based on the valuation report produced by Grant Sherman, the carrying amount of goodwill of approximately HK$19,882,000 at 30 September 2014, was fully impaired for that year.
Domestic — Sinoforce Group
The goodwill associated with Sinoforce Group arose when that business was acquired by the Group on 18 December 2014 (see Note 18).
The recoverable amount of the domestic CGU was based on its value-in-use calculation using cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering the period of 5 years.
Based on the revaluation report prepared by Grant Sherman on 20 May 2015, the carrying amount of the goodwill of approximately HK$79,317,000 at 31 March 2015 was fully impaired during the interim period ended 31 March 2015 and the year ended 30 September 2015.
The major factors leading to a significant impairment loss being recognised for the year is mainly attributed to a significant decrease in the future income streams of the CGU resulting from:
- Sudden and wild Swiss Franc appreciation that happened on 15 January 2015 and this sudden appreciation led to substantial corresponding depreciation of the Euro and Yen. As a result, Europe and Japan prices of the Brands are at least 20% cheaper than those in the PRC, Hong Kong and Taiwan. The dealers in the said regions therefore refused to purchase to the new products from the Group. The distribution business is stalled.
– 20 –
Details of the reasons and events leading to the impairment were disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 13 August 2015.
Key assumptions used in the calculation of value-in-use were discount rate, growth rate and budgeted revenue. The discount rate used 17.1% was a pre-tax measure based on the risk-free rate obtained from the yield on 10-year bonds issued by the government in the relevant market, adjusted for a risk premium to reflect specific risks relating to the CGUs. A growth rate ranging from 0% to 10% was used. Cash flow, beyond the five-year were projected by using a steady growth rate of 3%. Budgeted revenue has been based on past experience and future expectations in the light of anticipated economic and market conditions.
Domestic — Other
The goodwill associated with Joy Charm Holdings Limited arose when that business was acquired by the Group on 8 June 2011.
The recoverable amount of the domestic CGU was based on its value-in-use calculation using cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering the period of 5 years. Value in use in 2015 was determined in a similar manner as in 2014.
Key assumptions used in the calculation of value-in-use were discount rate, growth rate and budgeted revenue. The discount rate used 26.1% (2014: 28.5%) was a pre-tax measure based on the risk-free rate obtained from the yield on 10-year bonds issued by the government in the relevant market, adjusted for a risk premium to reflect specific risks relating to the CGUs. A growth rate ranging from 3% to 5% (2014: 5% to 10%) was used. Cash flow, beyond the five-year were projected by using a steady growth rate of 3% (2014: 3%). Budgeted revenue has been based on past experience and future expectations in the light of anticipated economic and market conditions. Based on the valuation report prepared by Grant Sherman, no impairment loss was recognised for the year (2014: HK$34,061,000).
Mining
Goodwill allocated to this CGU was contributed by Chi Zhou Donghai Mining Development Company Limited (池州東海礦業發展有限公司) (“Chi Zhou”) and Chi Feng Guo Jin Mining Company Limited (赤峰國金礦業有限公司) (“Chi Feng”) that owns the exploration rights and mining rights in certain area in the PRC September 2014. As Chi Zhou was disposed during the year ended 30 September 2014, the goodwill allocated was therefore derecognised for that year.
The carrying amount of all CGU was determined to be lower than its recoverable amount. Based on the valuation report prepared by Grant Sherman, the carrying amount of goodwill allocated was fully impaired during the year ended 30 September 2013.

|---|---|
Notes:
- (i) The fair value of contingent consideration receivable is related to the acquisition of Omas Int’l and its former owner’s profit guarantee for Omas Int’l’s total net profits of HK$120,000,000 for the financial years ended 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014. As the vendor of Omas Int’l had not met the profit guarantee, a compensation of HK$120,000,000 was obtained and a gain of approximately HK$1,754,000 (see Note 5) was therefore recognised from the difference arising upon settlement. During the year, HK$60,000,000 was received and the outstanding balance of HK$60,000,000 was included in other receivables at 30 September 2015 (see Note 15).
The receivable is unsecured and repayable within 12 months of the end of the profit guarantee period.
- (ii) The fair value of the contingent consideration receivable is related to profit guarantee of HK$69,000,000 by the vendor of Sinoforce Group and Zhang Jinbing for three financial years ending 31 December 2015, 2016 and 2017 (see Note 18).
The fair value of the contingent consideration receivable at 30 September 2015 and 2014 are based on the valuations performed by Grant Sherman, using a Monte Carlo simulation and probability model respectively.
As the profit guarantee relating to the acquisition of Sinoforce Group, covers period of more than one year, hence there are more interactions to be assessed for the results. Monte Carlo simulation is therefore adopted as the simulation produces distribution of possible outcome values. By assuming probability distributions, variables can have different probabilities of different outcomes occurring. Probability distributions are a much more realistic way of describing uncertainty in variables of the result.
– 22 –
The variable and assumptions used in computing the fair value of the contingent consideration receivable are based on the management’s best estimate. The value of the contingent consideration receivable varies with different variables of certain subjective assumptions.

18. ACQUISITION OF SUBSIDIARIES
Business Combination
Acquisition of Sinoforce Group Limited (“Sinoforce Group”) and its subsidiary
On 6 October 2014, the Group entered into the sale and purchase agreement to acquire the entire interest in Sinoforce Group, which directly hold 100% of Swiss Mechancial Times (Hong Kong) Limited, and indirectly hold the exclusive distribution right of the products of “GRAND-PERREGAUX” and “JEANRICHARD” in the territories of the mainland China, Macau, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The fair value of the shares to be issued was determined using the published closing price of HK$0.087 at the date of completion, amounting to approximately HK$141 million. The completion date of the acquisition was on 18 December 2014, which is also the acquisition date (“Acquisition Date”) for accounting purpose. Sinoforce Group is an investment holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.

- Note: An arrangement requires the former owner of Sinoforce Group to guarantee the Group that the total net profits of Sinoforce Group after tax for the financial years ended 31 December 2015, 2016 and 2017 shall not be less than HK$69 million. If the total net profits fail to meet in the sum of HK$69,000,000 by 31 December 2017, the former owner shall have the option either: (i) to compensate the Group on the shortfall to the total net profits in cash based on the formula (amount of compensation = (HK$69,000,000 – actual net profits) x 2), or (ii) to have the actual number of the consideration shares to be released to the former owner or its nominee(s) by the escrow agent on the payment date downward adjusted in accordance with the formula (adjusted number of consideration shares = actual net profits/HK$69,000,000 x 1,623,529,411 shares). Fair value of contingent consideration receivable of HK$10,494,000 at date of acquisition is based on valuation results of Grant Sherman, by using the method of Monte Carlo simulation.

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of Sinoforce Group in the current year is determined on the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. The management of the Company has engaged an independent professional valuer, Grant Sherman Appraisals Limited, to carry out a valuation on the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and contingent consideration receivable as at date of acquisition.

Impact if acquisitions on the results of the Group
Included in the loss for the year is HK$29,126,000 attributable to the additional business generated by Sinoforce Group. Revenue for the year includes HK$73,130,000 in respect of Sinoforce Group.
Had these business combinations been effected at 1 October 2014, the revenue of the Group from continuing operations would have been HK$97,893,000, and the loss for the year from continuing operations would have been HK$28,198,000. The director of the Group consider these ’pro-forma’ numbers to represent and approximate measure of the performance of the combined group on an annualised basis and to provide a reference point for comparison in future periods.
In determining the ‘pro-forma’ revenue and loss of the Group had Sinoforce Group been acquired at the beginning of the current year, the directors have:
-

The decrease was mainly attributable to (1) the discount block sale of slow moving inventories in 2014, (2) the disposal of retail business in Liaoning in June 2014, and (3) the continuously weakening demand of luxury consumer goods market in Hong Kong and China. The Group’s gross profit amounted to HK$81.3 million (2014: gross loss of HK$862.5 million).
