The Group’s operating businesses are structured and managed separately, according to the nature of their operations and the products and services they provide. Each of the Group’s business segments represents a strategic business unit that offers products and services which are subject to risks and returns that are different from those of the other business segments. Summary details of the business segments are as follows:

  • (a) the sum yung and pharmaceutical products segment sells Chinese and other medicines, pharmaceutical products, health products and dried seafood products to wholesalers and retailers;

  • (b) the others segment comprises the provision of Chinese clinical services, property investment and the trading of marketable securities.

In determining the Group’s geographical segments, revenues and results are attributed to the segments based on the location of the customers, and assets are attributed to the segments based on the location of the assets.

Intersegment sales and transfers are transacted at cost or with reference to the selling prices used for sales made to third parties at the then prevailing market prices.

Two of the Group’s subsidiaries, Guizhou Ensure Chain Pharmacy Company Limited and Guizhou Ensure Medical Company Limited (collectively the “Ensure subsidiaries”) which were held via Joinbest Investment Limited (“Joinbest”), were deconsolidated as of 31 March 2004.

On 14 June 2005, the provisional liquidators agreed to dispose of the Group’s 100% equity interest in Joinbest to the minority shareholders of the Ensure subsidiaries and completion for the disposal was on 5 October 2005, realising a gain of approximately HK$4 million.

On 13 October 2004, the High Court of Hong Kong appointed Mr. Cosimo Borrelli and Mr. Kelvin Flynn as joint and several provisional liquidators (“Provisional Liquidators”) to, inter alia, exercise the powers of the board of the Company, to take into their custody and protect the assets of the Company and carry on and stabilise the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, including facilitating a debt and capital restructuring (“Restructuring”) of the Company. The Restructuring of the Company was completed on 6 December 2006 (“Completion”).

Notes:

  • (i) As part of the Restructuring, all the claims by the creditors admitted by the Restructuring (“Scheme Creditors”) against the Company were discharged and waived by way of schemes of arrangements under section 166 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and section 99 of the Bermuda Companies Act (“Schemes”). The Schemes for the Scheme Creditors were sanctioned by the Orders of the Supreme Court of Bermuda and the High court of Hong Kong on 3 November 2006 and 21 November 2006 respectively.

Pursuant to Clause 6.1(d) of the restructuring agreement, dated 7 September 2005, on the date of completion of the restructuring the Company assigns and transfers all its rights, title and interest to or in any of the receivables together with any balance of the investor’s injected funds and proceeds from realisation of assets being kept in escrow by the Provisional Liquidators will be transferred to the trustee of the Schemes for the settlement and discharge of claims against the Company by the creditors in accordance with the terms of the Schemes. Upon the Completion of the Restructuring, all liabilities at the date of appointment of the provisional liquidators of the Company (“pre-existing creditors”) were compromised and discharged through the Schemes and/or by specific agreement. The excess of the amount of liabilities over the amount of assets transferred to the Schemes was recognised as gain arising on restructuring in the consolidated income statement.

  • (ii) Integral to the Restructuring was the disposal of subsidiaries that were non-strategic to the future development of the Group. The gain from disposal of the subsidiaries was recognised in the consolidated income statement for the year.

10. (Loss)/profit attributable to equity holders of the company

The loss attributable to equity holders of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2007 dealt with in the financial statements of the Company is approximately HK$333,000 (2006: profit of HK$9,822,000).

11. Earnings per share

(a) Basic

The calculation of earning per share is based on the profit attributable to the equity holders of HK$33,598,000 (2006: HK$9,413,000) and the weighted average of 1,259,697,000 shares (2006: 1,403,797,000 shares) in issue during the year.

(b) Diluted

Diluted earnings per share is calculated adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company has two categories of dilutive potential ordinary shares: convertible preference shares and share options. The convertible preference shares are assumed to have been converted into ordinary shares, and the net profit is adjusted to eliminate the interest expenses less the tax effect.

However, the conversion of all potential ordinary shares arising from share options would have an anti-dilutive effect on the earnings per share for the years ended 31 March 2007 and 2006.

There were no potential ordinary shares from convertible note as 31 March 2006.

EXTRACT OF AUDITORS’ REPORT

Basis for disclaimer of opinion

The evidence available to the auditors was limited due to the following reasons:

  • i. The auditors were appointed on 16 April 2007 and accordingly they were unable to carry out auditing procedures necessary to obtain adequate assurance regarding the quantities and condition of inventories of HK$5,810,000 stated in the consolidated balance sheet as at 1 April 2006. There were no other satisfactory audit procedures that they could adopt to obtain sufficient evidence regarding the existence of inventories as at 1 April 2006.

  • ii. The auditors have not been provided with details of the estimated unprovided restructuring expenses as at 31 March 2006. Accordingly, they are unable to satisfy themselves that the provision for restructuring costs as at 1 April 2006 and the restructuring costs recorded for the year ended 31 March 2007 are free from material misstatement.

  • iii. A convertible bond was issued by the Company to a bank in April 2000 and such convertible bond was subsequently settled and discharged on 6 December 2006. This convertible bond was accounted for as borrowings in the consolidated and Company balance sheets as at 31 March 2006. This accounting treatment was not in accordance with HKAS 32 — Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation and HKAS 39 — Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement as the equity and liability elements of the convertible bond were not separated and the liability element was not accounted for at amortised costs as at 31 March 2006. As a result, the interest expenses recorded for the years ended 31 March 2006 and 2007 were misstated. As the auditors have not been provided with the details of the convertible bond, they were not able to quantify the effect of this failure to comply with the relevant accounting standards on the current year’s income statement and accumulated losses as at 1 April 2006.

Since the opening inventories, restructuring expenses and interest expenses of the convertible bond enter into the determination of the results of operations, the auditors were unable to determine whether adjustments to opening balances of assets, liabilities and accumulated losses as at 1 April 2006 and the results of operations for the year ended 31 March 2007 might be necessary. The auditors’ report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2007 was modified accordingly.

Disclaimer of opinion: disclaimer on view given by financial statements

Because of significance of the matters described in the basis for disclaimer of opinion paragraph, the auditors do not express an opinion on the 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 2007 and of the Group’s profit and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards. In all other respects, in their opinion the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSIONS AND ANALYSIS

Business and financial review

The trading performance for the year ended 31 March 2007 recorded a consolidated revenue of approximately HK$58.4 million, representing approximately 18% increase from that of HK$49.3 million recorded last year. The increase was mainly due to the general economic conditions and the increased price of the products.

The level of gross profit margin attained this year, though dropped by approximately 3% due to price competition and escalating product costs, remains stable at 36% during the year compared to 39% last year.

Selling and distribution costs increased by approximately 23% compared to that of last year. This increase was primarily attributable to the increasing effort in deployment of operational resources and the increase in the number of staffs in light of opening of new retail outlets and to cope with our anticipated expansion.

Administrative expenses increased by two folds compared to that of last year. The increase seemingly substantial when compared to last year as the company has now resumed its normal course of operation both on corporate and operating levels after the Restructuring .Other factors for the increase were the inclusion of liquidation expenses and a provision for settlement of a rental dispute with a previous landlord amounting to approximately HK$5 million.

As a result of the Restructuring, the overall profit from operating activities reported for the year has significantly increased, which was mainly attributable to the gains arising from the waived and discharged liabilities under the Schemes of arrangements dated 7 September 2005 (as part of the debt restructuring), of approximately HK$44.5 million, and also from the disposal of subsidiaries that are non-strategic and non-integral to the Group’s current and future corporate structure and requirements, of approximately HK$35.5 million.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES

The Group generally finances its short term funding requirements with cash generated from operation and credit facilities from suppliers.

The Group had no bank and other borrowing as at the balance sheet date. During the year, the Group did not engage in the use of any other financial instruments for hedging purposes, and there was no hedging instrument outstanding as at 31 March 2007.

As part of the Restructuring, all claims by the pre-existing creditors against the Company were discharged and waived by way of schemes of arrangements, sanctioned by the courts under section 166 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and section 99 of the Bermuda Companies Act (“Schemes”).

Similarly, the gearing ratio (Total liabilities over total assets) for the year measured at 0.59 time compared to 3.49 times recorded last year. Also the consolidated net asset value stood at approximately HK$17.5 million as at the year end date compared to the consolidated net deficit of approximately HK$77.8 million as of last year.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE

During the year, the Company has following movements in the share capital:

  • (a) The previous authorised share capital of the Company before the Restructuring was HK$300,000,000 divided into 3,000,000,000 shares, of which 1,403,796,698 shares were in issue. Pursuant to the Restructuring, the share capital of the Company had been restructured in the following manner:

  • Capital Reduction

The par value of every issued share had been reduced from HK$0.10 to HK$0.001 and the credit of approximately HK$139.0 million arising from such reduction had been applied to eliminate the accumulated losses of the Company.

  1. Share Consolidation

Every 10 issued shares of HK$0.001 each had been consolidated into one new share of HK$0.01 each.

  1. Capital Cancellation

The unissued share capital in the previous authorised share capital of HK$300,000,000 had after the Capital Reduction and the Share Consolidation, been cancelled and diminished resulting in an authorised and issued share capital of the Company becoming HK$1,403,796.69.

  1. Authorised Share Capital Increase

Immediately upon the Capital Cancellation becoming effective, the Company’s authorised share capital had been increased from HK$1,403,796.69 to HK$60,000,000 divided into 3,500,000,000 New Shares of HK$0.01 each and 2,500,000,000 Preference Shares of HK$0.01 each.

  • (b) Upon the Completion of the Restructuring, 810 million new shares of HK$0.01 each and 2,160 million preference shares of HK$0.01 each were issued to Gain Alpha Finance Limited, for a cash subscription price of HK$0.027 each.

STAFF AND REMUNERATION

The remuneration policy and package, include the share options, of the Group’s employees are maintained at market level and reviewed annually by the management.

PROSPECTS

The new board of directors has reviewed the existing traditional “Sum Yung” business under the longhistory and prestigious brand “Nam Pei Hong”, and has decided to expand its footage to more areas. 4 new shops were opened since the Restructuring and we will soon reach a total of 17 outlets in our distribution network, with over 110 employees. However, while we are looking to expand our network of shops, the high rent in Hong Kong continues to impact the profit margin of our business and its growth potential. Therefore, we have formulated plans to expand our business to Mainland China to target its huge and undeveloped market. In the coming year, we will start selling our products to Guangdong areas via some local retail chain stores and supermarkets. We will also keep investing in opening more new shops if we can find suitable locations with acceptable rent.

Besides the Sum Yung business, we have decided to venture into wind power business. With the great strides of economy growth, the electricity demand in China has been increasing significantly. However the burning of fossil fuels to generate electric power is the single biggest cause to global warming. Scientists have suggested reducing the use of traditional fuels drastically in the next 10 years. The China government has been introducing new legislation and support mechanisms to enable development of renewable energies. Clean and fuel-free, wind power is the undisputed leader amongst the renewable energy sources and will almost certainly play an important role in the energy industry.

In April 2007, we signed an agreement to acquire a wind power group in China. Led by a management team of experienced wind power executives, the wind power group is involved in equipment manufacturing, engineering, procurement and construction of wind farms and the maintenance of and investment in wind farms in China. This acquisition is the foundation for our future rapid growth. We aim to be the largest non-state owned or affiliated group of companies in the wind power industry in China. We believe that the new focus will bring to the shareholders a promising return in the future.
