LETTER FROM THE BOARD
INFORMATION ON DYNAMIC
Dynamic is a company incorporated in Bermuda with limited liability, whose principal place of business in Hong Kong is situated at Room 1702, Eton Tower, 8 Hysan Avenue, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. Dynamic has been engaged in property investment and development businesses in the PRC, whose shares are listed on the Stock Exchange.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group holds 4,258,000 Dynamic Shares, representing approximately 1.94% of the entire issued share capital of Dynamic. TPIL will be acquiring a total of 15,046,000 Dynamic Shares, representing approximately 6.87% of the entire issued share capital of Dynamic. Upon the Dynamic Completion, Dynamic will be owned as to approximately 8.81% by the Group.
REASONS FOR THE DYNAMIC ACQUISITION
The principal business of the Group is providing network and system integration, business/operation support system, telecom value-added services/solutions and other application on software systems. The Directors have always been exploring investment opportunities which would increase the earning base of the Group. To this end and taking into account the potential prospects of the business operation of Dynamic and the considerably discounted share price as compared to Dynamic’s current net asset value, the Directors consider that the Dynamic Acquisition represents a valuable investment opportunity to broaden the Group’s asset base in the short term and enhance the Group’s income base in the long run. This provides a solid foundation for any future acquisitions by the Group.
The Directors intend to hold the Dynamic Sale Shares for long term investment and at present the Directors do not intend to acquire further interest or to gain control in Dynamic or to change the board members of the Company upon Dynamic Completion.

of the Dynamic Consideration Shares as contemplated under the Dynamic Acquisition Agreements. The unaudited pro forma adjusted consolidated net tangible asset value per Share after the Dynamic Acquisition will be approximately HK$0.030. This represents an increase in net tangible assets per Share of approximately HK$0.033 as compared to the unaudited consolidated net tangible liabilities per Share before the completion of the Dynamic Acquisition of approximately HK$0.003.

In addition, the consideration of the sale and purchase of the Glory Choice Sale Shares represents a price earnings multiple of approximately 15.27 times the audited net profit after taxation and extraordinary items of Glory Choice for the year ended 31st March 2002. With reference to the future prospects of Glory Choice, the Directors consider that such premium is reasonable.
The Directors consider that the consideration for the sale and purchase of the Glory Choice Sale Shares is fair and reasonable. The consideration was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations, having taken into account the following factors:

-
a profit guarantee provided by the Glory Choice Vendors on a joint and several basis to TPTH that the audited net profit of Glory Choice for the period from the Glory Choice Completion Date to 31st March 2003 will not be less than HK$3.7 million (based on the accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong).

In accordance with the Listing Rules, the audited accounting information of the Group (i.e., comprising that of Glory Choice) will be available within 4 months from 31st March 2003. Accordingly, if the audited net profit fails to meet the guaranteed profit by then (i.e. the day on which such audited accounting information is finalized and made available to the Glory Choice Vendors and TPTH), the Glory Choice Vendors will compensate any shortfall in respect thereof in cash to TPTH on a joint and several basis.
Consideration Shares
On the Glory Choice Completion Date and upon satisfaction of all the conditions as stated in the Glory Choice S&P Agreement, the Company shall allot and issue the Glory Choice Consideration Shares to the Glory Choice Vendors as partial satisfaction of the consideration of the Glory Choice Sale Shares.

-
(iii) a premium of approximately 13.92% to the closing price of HK$0.395 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date.

REASONS FOR THE GLORY CHOICE ACQUISITION
The principal business of the Group is providing network and system integration, business/operation support system, telecom value-added services/solutions and other application on software systems. The Directors have always been exploring investment opportunities which would increase the earning base of the Group. To this end and taking into account the potential prospects of the business operations of Poly Network and Changran and the synergy effect that can bring to the Group, the Directors consider that the Glory Choice Acquisition represents a valuable investment opportunity to the Group.
FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE GLORY CHOICE ACQUISITION
(i) Net tangible assets value
Set out in Appendix IV to this circular is a pro forma statement of unaudited consolidated net tangible assets of the Group immediately following the Glory Choice Completion, which is based on the interim report of the Group as at 30th September 2001, adjusted to reflect the effect of the Glory Choice Acquisition and certain adjustments since 30th September 2001. The unaudited pro forma adjusted net tangible assets of the Group will be about HK$5 million. This represents an increase in net tangible assets of approximately HK$8 million as compared to the unaudited consolidated net tangible liabilities of the Company before the Glory Choice

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Completion of approximately HK$3 million. The total number of Shares in issue upon Glory Choice Completion will increase from 1,148,382,879 to 1,228,382,879 as a result of the issue of the Glory Choice Consideration Shares as contemplated under the Glory Choice S&P Agreement.

BUSINESS REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
As at 30th September 2001, the unaudited net asset value of the Group was approximately HK$950,000. The table below sets out the turnover, gain/loss on exceptional items, profit/(loss) before taxation and profit/(loss) attributable to Shareholders for each of the three years ended 31st March 2001 as extracted from the Group’s annual reports and for the six months period ended 30th September 2001 as extracted from the Group’s interim report:
| For the six months ended 30th September 2001 (Unaudited) HK$’000 Turnover 137,854 Operating profit/(loss) before taxation and exceptional items 15,313 Gain/(loss) on exceptional items – Profit/(loss) before taxation 15,313 Profit/(loss) attributable to Shareholders 10,219 |

|---|---|
For the year ended 31st March 2000, the Group’s turnover declined from approximately HK$565 million to approximately HK$159 million, representing a decrease of approximately 72%. Such significant decrease in the turnover of the Group was mainly due to the financial difficulties experienced by the Group after the financial crisis in 1997 and the keen competition faced by the Group in its operations. In the year ended 31st March 2000, the Group experienced in operating loss of approximately HK$74 million due to fierce competition which had led to a reduction in gross profit. Net loss dropped to approximately HK$150 million, down by approximately 78% as compared to the previous year, as a result of reduction in operating cost and the absence of certain exceptional losses. The exceptional items of approximately HK$76 million for the year ended 31st March 2000 included provision for doubtful debts of approximately HK$12 million, provision for obsolete and slow-moving stocks of approximately HK$16.3 million, write-down of fixed assets of approximately HK$1.9 million and written-off of unsubstantiated payments and receipts of approximately HK$46 million.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
After the financial crisis in 1997, the Group experienced financial difficulties in conducting its business. For the year ended 31st March 2001, the Group focused on conducting the debt-restructuring exercise, therefore the Group’s turnover declined from approximately HK$159 million to approximately HK$31 million, representing a decrease of approximately 80.5% and the operating loss amounted to approximately HK$26 million. The decrease in the operating loss was mainly due to the reduction in the fixed overhead cost (such as salaries, wages and depreciation). The exceptional gain of approximately HK$264 million was attributed to significant progress on the debt restructuring which rendered the elimination of debts.
In view of the promising prospects of communication business in the PRC market, the Group acquired the entire issued share capital of Holy (Hong Kong) Universal Limited in January 2001 and 51% equity interest of Beijing HollyBridge System Integration Company Limited in June 2001.
For the six months ended 30th September 2001, the Group recorded a turnover of approximately HK$138 million, representing a substantial increase when comparing to the last corresponding period of approximately HK$0.5 million. The unaudited operating profit was approximately HK$10 million as compared to the unaudited operating loss of approximately HK$36 million (excluding the exceptional gain) for the same period in the previous financial year.
In view of the high growth of investment in telecommunications equipment and information technology, China joining the World Trade Organization and hosting the Olympic Games in Beijing, the Directors believe that the operating environment of the Group is favourable. In light of the strong marketing and distribution channel and broad customers base covering southern and northern China, the Company’s market share in the telecommunications and information technology markets is expected to be enhanced considerably.
GENERAL
The Directors have confirmed that there will not be any change in the composition of the Board following the completion of the Dynamic Acquisition and the Glory Choice Acquisition.
The Directors consider that the terms of the Dynamic Acquisition Agreements are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
The Dynamic Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules and is subject to independent Shareholders’ approval in the SGM, in which Li, Zhang, UDL, CMIC and their respective associates shall abstain from voting.

We conducted our audit in accordance with Statements of Auditing Standards issued by the Hong Kong Society of Accountants, except that the scope of our work was limited as explained below.
– 27 –
APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION RELATING TO THE GROUP
An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the directors in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the circumstances of the Company and of the Group, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.
We planned our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. However, the evidence available to us was limited as set out below.
The financial statements of the Group and the Company for the year ended 31st March 2000 were audited by other auditors who have disclaimed an opinion for reasons which included the significance of the possible effects of several limitations on the scope of their audit which were detailed in their report dated 11th December 2000. Because of the inadequacy of the Group’s and the Company’s prior years’ accounting records, we were unable to obtain sufficient evidence to verify the opening balances of the assets and liabilities of the Group as at 1st April 2000. There were no other satisfactory audit procedures that we could adopt to confirm that the opening balances of assets and liabilities of the Group were properly recorded. The books and records in respect of all the disposed subsidiaries of the Company, namely Chun Tai Toys (China) Limited, Chun Tai Industries Limited, Zhong Shan Chun Yuan Electronic Co., Limited and Chun Hui Electronic (Zhong Shan) Co., Limited (collectively referred to as the “Disposed Subsidiaries”) and Zhongshan Modern Colour Printing and Packaging Products Factory Company Limited (“Zhongshan Modern”) have not been made available to us either because the production facilities of the Group were under seizure by Mainland China court orders as security for unsettled claims found against the Disposed Subsidiaries, or because they have not been properly prepared. Because of this limitation we are not able to satisfy ourselves as to the appropriateness of (i) the gain on disposal of subsidiaries of approximately HK$149,060,000 for the year ended 31st March 2001; and (ii) the loss on the write-off of net assets of Zhongshan Modern of approximately HK$386,000 for the year ended 31st March 2001.
In forming our opinion, we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information on the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
– 28 –
APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION RELATING TO THE GROUP
QUALIFIED OPINION ARISING FROM LIMITATION OF AUDIT SCOPE
Except for any adjustments that might have been found to be necessary had we been able to obtain sufficient evidence concerning the matters set out above, in our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and the Company as at 31st March 2001 and of the profit and cash flows of the Group for the year then ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
In respect alone of the limitation on our work relating to the opening balances of the assets and liabilities of the Group and the Company, the gain on Disposed Subsidiaries and the net assets of Zhongshan Modern:
-
We have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of our audit; and
-
We were unable to determine whether proper books of account had been kept.

APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION RELATING TO THE GROUP
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
31st March 2001
1. ORGANISATION AND OPERATIONS
Telecom Plus Holdings Limited (the “Company”) was incorporated in Bermuda with limited liability. The Company’s shares are listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
The Company is an investment holding company. The principal activities of its subsidiaries are set out in Note 26 to the financial statement.
During the year, the Company underwent debt-restructuring arrangements with the Group’s banks, other financial and trade creditors to restructure its debt repayment obligations. As at 31st March 2001, the Group’s creditors have waived payment of debts amounting to approximately HK$114,798,000.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CORPORATE UPDATE
The Group’s financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2001 have been prepared on the following bases:
- (a) The financial statements have been prepared based on the books and records maintained by the Company and its subsidiaries. However, all of the Group’s production facilities located in Mainland China were seized under court orders as security for the unsettled claims found against the Group and, as a result, the directors have not been able to obtain access to the books and records of the Company’s subsidiaries in Mainland China.
No representation as to the completeness of the books and records of the Company’s subsidiaries in Mainland China can be given by the directors. Although care has been taken in the preparation of these financial statements to mitigate the effect of the incomplete records, the directors are unable to represent that all transactions entered into in the name of these subsidiaries have been included in these financial statements. To the extent possible, the directors have taken such steps as they considered practicable to ascertain the accuracy of the account balances and have made provisions, adjustments and disclosures as they considered appropriate in the preparation of these financial statements.
- (b) The Group had a consolidated net profit attributable to shareholders of approximately HK$237 million for the year ended 31st March 2001. As at the balance sheet date, the Group had net current liabilities of approximately HK$42 million and minimal cash resources.
During the year, the Group discontinued its production operation due to the seizure of its production line in Zhongshan, the PRC. In January 2001, the Group acquired a subsidiary, Holy (Hong Kong) Universal Limited (“Holy (HK)”). Since then, the Group has strengthened its business operation.
Against this background, to strengthen the capital base of the Group and to improve its financial position, liquidity, cash flows, profitability and operations, the directors adopted the following measures:
– 33 –
APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION RELATING TO THE GROUP
(i) Equity financing
On 30th May 2001, the Company announced the placing of 160 million new shares of the Company of HK$0.10 each at a price of HK$0.18 per share. The placing was completed on 5th June 2001 and the cash proceeds therefrom was approximately HK$28.8 million.
(ii) Restructuring of the Group’s indebtedness
On 30th May 2001, the Company entered into a debt-equity conversion agreement with a creditor for the conversion of the indebtedness owing to this creditor into 1,600,000 new shares of the Company of HK$0.10 each at a price of approximately HK$0.305 per share to settle a debt of approximately HK$488,000. This conversion was completed on 11th June 2001.
Furthermore, on 12th June 2001, the Company entered into a debt-equity conversion agreement with a creditor for the conversion of the indebtedness owing to this creditor into 427,000 new shares of the Company of HK$0.10 each at a price of approximately HK$1.00 per share to settle a debt of approximately HK$427,000. This conversion was completed on 29th June 2001.
(iii) New business
On 12th February 2001, Holy (HK) entered into an acquisition agreement with the shareholders of Beijing HollyBridge System Integration Company Limited (“Beijing HollyBridge”) to acquire a 51% interest in Beijing HollyBridge at a consideration of HK$16 million. This acquisition was completed on 12th June 2001. Beijing HollyBridge is a company incorporated in the PRC. It is principally engaged in the sales and distribution, design as well as technical consultation and maintenance of communication equipment and information products, intelligent building system and communication system and is also a solutions provider.
In view of the above measures taken by the Company’s directors to secure new equity funding, to restructure the Group’s borrowings, and to reactivate the Group’s business operations, the directors are of the opinion that these financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis.

APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION RELATING TO THE GROUP
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of presentation
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of leasehold land and buildings, and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong, Statements of Standard Accounting Practice issued by the Hong Kong Society of Accountants, the disclosure requirements of Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
(b) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. For subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year, their results are consolidated from or to their effective dates of acquisition or disposal. All significant intragroup transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.
(c) Subsidiaries
A company is a subsidiary company if more than 50% of the issued voting capital is held long-term, directly or indirectly. Investment in subsidiaries is carried at cost less provision for impairment in value where considered necessary by the directors. The results of the subsidiaries are included in the income statement to the extent of dividends declared by the subsidiaries.
(d) Goodwill
Goodwill represents the difference between the fair value of the consideration given and the Group’s share of the aggregate fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. Positive goodwill arises where the consideration given exceeds the Group’s share of the aggregate fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. Positive goodwill is capitalised as assets and amortised over 20 years.
Negative goodwill arises where the consideration given does not exceed the Group’s share of the aggregate fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. Negative goodwill is presented as a deduction from positive goodwill. It should then be recognised as income as follows:
-
(i) to the extent that negative goodwill relates to expectations of future losses and expenses that are identified in the acquirer’s plan for the acquisition and that can be measured reliably, negative goodwill is recognised as income when the identified future losses and expenses occur; and
-
(ii) to the extent that it does not relate to future losses and expenses, negative goodwill not exceeding the fair values of the non-monetary assets acquired is recognised as income over the remaining average useful life of the depreciable or amortisable non-monetary assets acquired. Negative goodwill in excess of the fair values of the non-monetary assets acquired is recognised as income immediately
– 35 –
APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION RELATING TO THE GROUP
(e) Fixed assets and depreciation
Fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation. The cost of an asset 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 the fixed assets have been put into operation, such as repairs and maintenance, and overhaul costs, is normally charged to the income statement in the period in which it is incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the fixed asset, the expenditure is capitalised as an additional cost of the fixed asset.
Any increase in fixed assets valuation is credited to the fixed asset revaluation reserve; any decrease is first offset against an increase on earlier valuation in respect of the same asset and is thereafter charged to income statement.
Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis at annual rates estimated to write off the cost or valuation of each asset over its expected useful life. The annual rates are as follows:
| Medium term leasehold land and buildings | 2% – 4% |
|---|---|
| Leasehold improvements | 20%, or over the terms of the leases, |
| whichever is shorter | |
| Plant and machinery | 10% – 50% |
| Furniture, fixtures and office equipment | 20% |
| Motor vehicles | 20% |
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives or, where shorter, the terms of the lease on the same basis as owned assets.
When assets are sold or retired, their cost or valuation and accumulated depreciation and amortisation are eliminated from the financial statements and any gain or loss resulting from their disposals is included in the income statement.
The carrying amount of assets is assessed annually and when factors indicating an impairment are present. The Group determines the recoverable amount of assets by measuring discounted future cash flows. If an impairment is present, the assets are reported at the lower of carrying amount or recoverable amount.
(f) Foreign currencies
Companies within the Group maintain their books and records in the primary currencies of their respective countries (the “functional currencies”).
In the financial statements of the individual companies, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in other currencies at the balance sheet date are translated into the respective functional currencies at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Transactions in other currencies during the year are translated into the respective functional currencies at rates of exchange in effect at the time of the transactions. Exchange differences are dealt with in the income statement of the individual companies.
– 36 –
APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION RELATING TO THE GROUP
For the purpose of consolidation, all of the financial statements of the subsidiaries are translated into Hong Kong dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising on such translation are credited or charged to the cumulative translation reserve.
(g) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided under the liability method, at the current tax rate, in respect of timing differences between profit as computed for taxation purposes and profit as stated in the financial statements, except where it is considered that no liability will arise in the foreseeable future.
A deferred tax asset is not recognised unless the related benefits are expected to crystallise in the foreseeable future.
(h) Leases
- (i) Finance leases
Leases that transfer to the company substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership of the assets, other than legal title, are accounted for as finance leases.
Fixed assets held under finance leases are initially recorded at the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the leases, with the equivalent liabilities recorded as appropriate under current or non-current liabilities.
Finance charges, which represent the difference between the minimum lease payments at the inception of the leases and the fair value of the assets, are allocated to accounting periods over the period of the relevant leases so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the outstanding balances.
- (ii) Operating leases
Leases where substantially all the rewards and risks of ownership remain with the leasing company are accounted for as operating leases. Rental payments under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the relevant leases.
(i) Turnover and revenue recognition
Turnover represents net invoiced value of goods sold after allowances for returns and discount.
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and when the revenue and costs, if applicable, can be measured reliably. Turnover and other revenue are recognised on the following bases:
- (i) Sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been transferred to customers.
– 37 –
APPENDIX I FINANCIAL INFORMATION RELATING TO THE GROUP
-
(ii) Rental income is recognised when rentals become due and receivable.
-
(iii) Interest income from bank deposits is recognised on a time proportion basis on the principal outstanding and at the rate applicable.
(j) Borrowing costs
Interest is expensed as incurred.
Other borrowing costs, including amortisation of discounts on premiums relating to borrowings, amortization of ancillary costs incurred in connection with arranging borrowings and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regard as an adjustment to interest costs, are considered immaterial and are recognised as an expense in the year incurred.
(k) Convertible bonds
Convertible bonds are recorded as liabilities at its face value until conversion occurs. The finance cost, including the premium payable upon the final redemption of convertible bonds, is calculated so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining balances of the convertible bonds of each accounting period.
(l) Employee retirement benefits
Costs of employee retirement benefits are charged to the income statement in the relevant period in which they are incurred.

8. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On 2nd November 2000, the Group’s production facilities in Mainland China were seized under court orders and the Group has not carried out any production activities thereafter.
9. TAXATION
Hong Kong profits tax and overseas taxation were not provided as the Group had no assessable profits for the year in Hong Kong and in other countries in which the Group operated.
There was no significant unprovided deferred taxation as at 31st March 2001.
10. PROFIT (LOSS) ATTRIBUTABLE TO SHAREHOLDERS

11. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share was calculated based on the consolidated profit (loss) attributable to shareholders for the year of approximately HK$237,427,000 (2000: Loss of HK$150,273,000) and the weighted average number of ordinary shares of approximately 592,407,000 (2000: 438,900,000) in issue during the year.
The diluted loss per share for the years ended 31st March 2001 and 2000 is not shown because the Company’s convertible bonds were anti-dilutive during these years.

Comparative amounts have been restated to achieve a consistent presentation.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified for revaluation of certain properties of the Group. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong and the principal accounting policies adopted are as follows:
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries made up to 30th June each year.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement from the effective dates of acquisition and up to the effective dates of disposal, as appropriate.
All significant inter-company transactions and balances within the Group have been eliminated on consolidation.
Goodwill and capital reserve arising on consolidation
Goodwill arising on consolidation which represents the excess of purchase consideration over the fair value ascribed to the separable net assets at the date of acquisition of a business, is recognised as an asset and amortised on a straight line basis over its estimated useful economic life or ten years, whichever is shorter.
– 76 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON DYNAMIC
APPENDIX II
Capital reserve arising on consolidation which represents the excess of the fair value of separable net assets at the date of acquisition of a business over the purchase consideration, is credited directly to reserves.
On disposal of a subsidiary, the attributable amount of unamortised goodwill, or capital reserve previously written off or credited to reserves at the time of acquisition is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.
Revenue recognition
When properties under development are sold, revenue is recognised either when the sale agreement is completed or when the development is completed which is determined by the issuance of the relevant occupation permit, whichever is the later. Deposits and instalments received on properties sold prior to their completion are included in current liabilities.
Rental income, including rental invoiced in advance from properties under operating leases, is recognised on a straight line basis over the lease terms.
Interest income is accrued on a time basis by reference to the principal outstanding and at the interest rate applicable.
Port operations income is recognised when the services are rendered.
Dividend income from investments is recognised when the Group’s right to receive payment has been established.
Investment properties
Investment properties are completed properties which are held for their investment potential, any rental income being negotiated at arm’s length.
Investment properties are stated at their open market values based on professional valuations at the balance sheet date. Any surplus or deficit arising on the revaluation of investment properties is credited or charged to the investment property revaluation reserve unless the balance of this reserve is insufficient to cover a deficit, in which case the excess of the deficit over the balance of the investment property revaluation reserve is charged to the income statement.
Where a deficit has previously been charged to the income statement and a revaluation surplus subsequently arise, this surplus is credited to the income statement to the extent of the deficit previously charged.
On disposal of an investment property, the balance on the investment property revaluation reserve attributable to that property is transferred to income statement.
No depreciation is provided on investment properties except where the unexpired term of the relevant lease is 20 years or less.
Properties under development
Properties under development are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises the cost of land under development, interest, finance charges, professional fees and
– 77 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON DYNAMIC
APPENDIX II
other direct costs attributable to such properties until they reach a marketable state. Net realisable value is calculated at the estimated selling price less all costs to completion and costs of marketing and selling.
Properties under development which are due for completion more than one year from the balance sheet date are shown as non-current assets.
Properties under development which are due for completion within one year from the balance sheet date and are intended to be held for sale will be treated as properties under development and are shown as current assets.
Properties held for sale
Properties held for sale are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes land cost, development costs, borrowing costs capitalised and other direct costs attributable to such properties until they reach a marketable state. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Subsidiary
A subsidiary is an enterprise in which the Company, directly or indirectly, holds more than half of the issued share capital or controls more than half of the voting power, or where the Company controls the composition of its board of directors or equivalent governing body.
Investments in subsidiaries are included in the Company’s balance sheet at cost, as reduced by any decline in the value of the subsidiary that is other than temporary. Results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividends received or receivable during the year.
Associate
An associate is an enterprise, over which the Group is in a position to exercise significant influence, including participation in financial and operating policy decisions.
The consolidated income statement includes the Group’s share of the postacquisition results of its associates for the year. In the consolidated balance sheet, interests in associates are stated at the Group’s share of the net assets of associates, as reduced by any decline in the value of the associate that is other than temporary.
When the Group transacts with its associates, unrealised profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the relevant associates, except where unrealised losses provide evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
The results of associates are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividends received and receivable during the year. In the Company’s balance sheet, investments in associates are stated at cost, as reduced by any decline in the value of the associate that is other than temporary.
Investments in securities
Investments in securities are recognised on a trade date basis and are initially measured at cost.
– 78 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON DYNAMIC
APPENDIX II
Investments other than held-to-maturity debt securities are classified as investment securities and other investments.
Investment securities, which are securities held for an identified long-term strategic purpose, are measured at subsequent reporting dates at cost, as reduced by any impairment loss that is other than temporary.
Other investments are measured at fair value, with unrealised gains and losses included in net profit or loss for the period.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its present working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditure incurred after the assets have been put into operations, such as repairs and maintenance and overhaul costs, is normally charged to the income statement in the period in which it is incurred. In situations where it can be clearly demonstrated that the expenditure has resulted in an increase in the future economic benefits expected to be obtained from the use of the asset, the expenditure is capitalised as an additional cost of the asset.
The gain or loss arising from disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and is recognised in the income statement.
Where the recoverable amount of an asset has declined below its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to reflect the decline in value. In determining the recoverable amount of assets, expected future cash flows are not discounted to their present values.
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of other property, plant and equipment over their estimated useful lives using the straight line method at the following rates per annum:
Motor vehicles 15% to 20% Plant and machinery, equipment and others 10% to 33.3%
Capitalisation of borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying asset, which are 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. 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 cost capitalised.
All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Taxation
The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items which are nonassessable or disallowed. Timing differences arise from the recognition for tax purposes of certain items of income and expense in a different accounting period from that in which they are
– 79 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION ON DYNAMIC
APPENDIX II
recognised in the financial statements. The tax effect of timing differences, computed under the liability method, is recognised as deferred taxation in the financial statements to the extent that it is probable that a liability or asset will crystallise in the foreseeable future.
Operating leases
Rentals payable on properties under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the terms of the leases.
Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the rates ruling on the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are re-translated at the rates ruling on the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on exchange are dealt with in the income statement.
On consolidation, the financial statements of overseas operations are translated at the rates ruling on the balance sheet date. All exchange differences arising on consolidation are dealt with in the translation reserve.
Retirement benefit scheme
The pension costs charged in the income statement represent the contributions payable in respect of the current year to the Group’s defined contribution scheme.
Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents represent short-term, highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which were within three months of maturity when acquired; less advances from banks repayable within three months from the date of the advances.

The Group’s turnover and contribution to profit from operations are analysed as follows:

The contributed surplus of the Company arose from the difference between the consolidated net assets of the Company’s subsidiaries at the date when they were acquired by the Company and the nominal amount of the Company’s shares issued for the acquisition, net of distributions made by the Company. Under the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda (as amended), contributed surplus of a company is available for distribution. However, the Company cannot declare or pay a dividend, or make a distribution out of contributed surplus if:
-
(a) it is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or
-
(b) the realisable value of its assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and its issued share capital and share premium accounts.
In the opinion of the Directors, the Company’s reserves available for distribution to shareholders were as follows:
| Contributed surplus Retained profit (Accumulated losses) |
2001 HK$’000 11,847 9,308 21,155 |

37. RETIREMENT BENEFIT SCHEME
Prior to 1st December 2000, the Group operated a defined contribution retirement benefit scheme (“Defined Contribution Scheme”) for its qualifying employees in Hong Kong. The assets of the scheme were held separately from those of the Group in funds under the control of an independent trustee. Where there are employees who leave the Defined Contribution Scheme prior to vesting fully in the contributions, the amount of the forfeited contributions would be used to reduce future contributions payable by the Group.
With effective from 1st December 2000, the Group has joined a Mandatory Provident Fund scheme (“MPF Scheme”) for all employees in Hong Kong. The MPF scheme is registered with the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme Authority under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance. The assets of the MPF scheme are held separately from those of the Group in funds under the control of an independent trustee. Under the rule of the MPF Scheme, the employer and its employees are each required to make contributions to the scheme at rate specified in the rules. No forfeited contribution is available to reduce the contribution payable in the future years by the employer.
The retirement benefit scheme contributions arising from the Defined Contribution Scheme and the MPF Scheme charged to the income statement represent contributions payable to the funds by the Group at rates specified in the rules of the schemes.
During the year, retirement benefits contributions charged to income statement, net of forfeited contribution of Nil (2000: Nil) are HK$532,144 (2000: HK$441,000).
At 30th June 2001, the total amount of forfeited contributions which arose upon employees leaving the Defined Contribution Scheme and which are available to reduce the contributions payable by the Group in the future years were HK$40,108 (2000: HK$1,663).

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Appendix 16 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the Statement of Standard Accounting Practice No. 25 ‘‘interim financial reporting’’ issued by the Hong Kong Society of Accountants.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30th June 2001 except for the change in accounting policy with respect to dividend recognition.
In prior periods, dividends/distributions proposed or declared after the balance sheet date in respect of an accounting period were recognised as a liability at the balance sheet date. In order to comply with the Statement of Standard Accounting Practice No. 9 (revised) ‘‘events after the balance sheet date’’, the Group does not recognise a liability for dividends/distributions in the accounting period in which they are declared or proposed and approved by shareholders. The new accounting policy has been adopted retrospectively, with the retained profits as at 1st July 2001 adjusted for the amounts relating to final distribution declared for the year ended 30th June 2001.
The condensed financial statements of the Group for the six months ended 31st December 2001 are unaudited and have been reviewed by the Audit Committee of the Company. Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the current basis of presentation.

II. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Company was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on 2nd January 2002 as an international business company under the International Business Companies Act. The Company will become the holding company of the Glory Choice Group upon completion of Glory Choice Acquisition.
The Combined Income Statements, Combined Statements of Recognised Gains and Losses and Combined Cash Flow Statements of the Glory Choice Group for the Relevant Periods included the results and cash flows of the companies comprising the Glory Choice Group as if the group structure of the Company upon the completion of Glory Choice Acquisition had been in existence throughout the Relevant Periods or since their dates of incorporation or registration to 31st March 2002, where this is a shorter period. The Combined Balance Sheets of the Glory Choice Group as at 31st March 2000, 2001 and 2002 have been prepared to present the assets and liabilities of the Glory Choice Group as if the group structure of the Company upon completion of the Glory Choice Acquisition had been in existence as at those dates.
All significant intra-group transactions and balances have been eliminated on combination.
The financial information has been presented in Hong Kong dollars, as the directors consider this presentation to be more useful for its current and potential investors.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial information set out in this report has been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies which have been adopted in preparing the financial information set out in this report and which conform with accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong, are as follows:
Revenue recognition
Sales of goods are recognised when goods are delivered and title has passed.
Service income is recognised when services are provided.
Revenue from a fixed price contract is recognised using the percentage of completion method, measured by reference to the percentage of contract costs incurred to date to estimated total contract costs for the contract.
Interest income from bank deposits is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the interest rate applicable.
– 117 –
ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON GLORY CHOICE
APPENDIX III
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of property and equipment over their estimated useful lives, using the straight line method, at the following rates per annum:
Leasehold improvements Over the shorter of the term of lease, or 5 years Furniture, fixtures and equipment 25% Computer equipment 25%
The gain or loss arising from disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the income statement.
Impairment
At each balance sheet date, the Glory Choice Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. Impairment losses are recognised as an expense immediately.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increase to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
Other investment
The Company has selected the benchmark treatment to measure investment other than held to maturity securities under Statement of Standard Accounting Practice No. 24 “Accounting for investments in securities” issued by the Hong Kong Society of Accountants.
Other investment which is held for an identified long-term strategic purpose are stated at cost, as reduced by any impairment loss that is other than temporary.
Foreign currencies
Transactions in currencies other than Hong Kong dollars are translated into Hong Kong dollars are translated at the rates ruling on the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than Hong Kong dollars are re-translated into Hong Kong dollars at the rates ruling on the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation are dealt with in the income statement.
On consolidation, the financial statements of operations outside Hong Kong are translated into Hong Kong dollars at the rates ruling on the balance sheet date. All exchange differences arising on translation are dealt with through the exchange reserve.

ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON GLORY CHOICE
APPENDIX III
Taxation
The charge for taxation is based on the results for the year as adjusted for items which are nonassessable or disallowed. Timing differences arise from the recognition for tax purposes of certain items of income and expense in a different accounting period from that in which they are recognised in the financial statements. The tax effect of the resulting timing differences, computed under the liability method, is recognised as deferred taxation in the financial statements to the extent that it is probable that a liability or asset will crystallise in the foreseeable future.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the weighted average method.
Contracts
Where contract costs incurred to date plus recognised profits less recognised losses exceed progress billings, the surplus is shown as an amount due from customers for contract work. For contracts where progress billings exceed contract costs incurred to date plus recognised profits less recognised losses, the surplus is shown as an amount due to customers for contract work. Amounts received before the related work is performed are included in the balance sheet, as a liability, as advances received. Amounts billed for work performed but not yet paid by the customer are included in the balance sheet under trade and other receivables.
Operating leases
Rentals payable under operating leases are recognised on a straight line basis over the lease terms.
