9. DIVIDEND
The Board does not recommend the payment of an interim dividend for the six months ended 31 March 2015 (for the six months ended 31 March 2014: Nil).
10. LOSS PER SHARE
The calculation of basis loss per share is based on the loss for the six months ended 31 March 2015 attributable to the owners of the Company of approximately HK$34,864,000 (six months ended 31 March 2014: loss of approximately HK$20,891,000) and the weighted average number of 7,619,499,891 (2014: 4,366,027,293) ordinary shares in issue during the period.
The computation of diluted loss per share for the six months ended 31 March 2015 is the same as the basic loss per share because the Company had no dilutive potential shares.

12. GOODWILL (continued) Export
The recoverable amount of the export cash-generating units (“CGU”) is the higher of the fair value less cost to sell or value in use. At 31 March 2015, the recoverable amount of this CGU was determined based on fair value less costs to sell, which was determined in a similar manner as in 30 September 2014.
Key assumptions used in the calculation of value in use were discount rate, growth rate and budgeted revenue. The discount rate used 22.9% (30 September 2014: 27.6%) was an 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 cash-generating units. A growth rate ranging from 5% to 10% (30 September 2014: 10%–25%) and gross profit margin at 18% to 30% (30 September 2014: 37.6%–50%) was used. Budgeted revenue has been based on past experience and future expectations in the light of anticipated economic and market conditions.
Domestic
The recoverable amount of the domestic cash-generating units 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 31 March 2015 was determined in a similar manner as in 30 September 2014.
Key assumptions used in the calculation of value in use were discount rate, growth rate and budgeted revenue. The discount rate ranging from 17.2% to 25.7% were used (30 September 2014: 28.5%) was an 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 cash-generating units. A growth rate ranging from 0% to 5% (30 September 2014: 5.0%–10%) was used. Cash flow, beyond the five-year were projected by using a steady growth rate of 0% to 3% (30 September 2014: 3.0%). 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 by Grant Sherman Appraisal Limited, an impairment loss of approximately HK$79,317,000 was recognised for the six months ended 31 March 2015 (year ended 30 September 2014: HK$34,061,000), which was mainly due to momentous reverse in the luxury market for the period under review.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Group’s turnover for the six months ended 31 March 2015 decreased by 60.0% from approximately HK$393.9 million last year to approximately HK$157.5 million. The decrease was mainly attributable to (i) the weakened consumption of luxury goods in Hong Kong and China (ii) the increasing trend of consumer purchase luxury goods directly from Europe due to weakened Euro, and (iii) the disposal of retail business in Liaoning in June 2014. The Group’s gross profit amounted to HK$37.3 million, the gross profit margin improved to 23.7% (six months end 31 March 2014: 19.9%). Loss attributable to shareholders was approximately HK$34.9 million, inclusive of impairment on goodwill and intangible assets of HK$159.2 million.
The impairment on goodwill and distribution rights amounted to HK$79,317,000 and HK$67,674,000 respectively, which were attributable to the downward revision of financial projection in the newly acquired business. Resulting from the impact of weakening Euro, more and more consumers tend to purchase luxury goods directly from Europe. Also, other luxury watch brands have recently lowered their retail price, the business has faced keen competition since January 2015. According to the sale and purchase agreement, the vendor will compensate the Company if the newly acquired business fail to meet the total net profits in the sum of HK$69,000,000 by 31 December 2017. The change of fair value of contingent consideration receivable of HK$120.8 million has been recorded during the period, which is reflecting the compensation from the vendor. The impairment on the mining right was amounted to approximately HK$12,204,000 for the six months ended 31 March 2015, which was attributable to the change in fair value according to the valuation report as compared to the year ended 30 September 2014. Details of the key assumptions used in the calculation of goodwill are set out in Note 12.
During the period, the selling and distribution expenses of the Group decreased by 21.6% to approximately HK$20.4 million, as compared to HK$26.1 million from the corresponding period last year. The Group’s administrative expenses maintained fairly stable at approximately HK$18.0 million as compared to approximately HK$17.1 million for the same period last year.
BUSINESS REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
