CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “STOCK EXCHANGE”)
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited and the Stock Exchange take no responsibility for the contents of this report, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this report.

Chairman’s Statement
To the Shareholders,
On behalf of the board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, I am pleased to present the audited consolidated annual financial statements of In Technical Productions Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) for the year ended 31 May 2017.
Leveraging on years of experience and competitive strengths of the Group, including leading visual display solution provider for pop concerts in Hong Kong, strong capabilities for providing customised visual display solutions and in-house repair and technical support, large quantity and wide range of visual display equipment; and experienced management and technical staff with strong knowhow and expertise, the management team of the Group effectively expand the Group’s customer base and maintained a rapid growth in terms of overall sales. The Group recorded a record high revenue of approximately HK$66.8 million for the year ended 31 May 2017, representing an increase of approximately HK$26.0 million or 63.8% as compared with the year ended 31 May 2016. The gross profit of the Group for the year ended 31 May 2017 increased by approximately 88.3% to approximately HK$33.9 million from HK$18.0 million for the year ended 31 May 2016. The Group’s loss was approximately HK$0.7 million for the year ended 31 May 2017, representing a decrease of approximately HK$7.6 million as compared with a profit of approximately HK$6.9 million for the year ended 31 May 2016. The decrease was mainly due to the recognition of the Listing expenses of approximately HK$17.6 million (2016: Nil) in connection with the Listing for the year ended 31 May 2017. Taking no account of the one-off Listing expenses, the Group’s adjusted profit for the year ended 31 May 2017 would have been approximately HK$16.9 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$10.0 million or 144.4% as compared with the year ended 31 May 2016.
The shares of the Company (the “Shares”) were successfully listed (the “Listing”) on the GEM of the Stock Exchange by way of placing and public offer (collectively, the “Share Offer”) on 14 June 2017, which marked a significant milestone for the Group. The net proceeds raised from Listing amounting to approximately HK$34.5 million will help the Group to implement its business strategies, which include (i) expanding the Group’s business in Shanghai; (ii) enhancing the Group’s business presence for providing visual display solutions for corporate events and exhibitions and (iii) developing a tracking system to enhance the Group’s equipment management and utilisation. The Group believes that the successful implementation of the above business strategies will help the Group to strengthen the Group’s position as a leading visual display solution provider for pop concerts in Hong Kong and create long-term Shareholder’s value.
The above business strategies laid a solid foundation for the achievement of the profit target of the Group.
Annual Report 2017 03
Chairman’s Statement (Continued)
The Board will also proactively seek potential business opportunities and explore the possibility to expand the application of the Group’s visual display solutions to industries other than live events industry so as to will broaden the sources of income of the Group and enhance value to the shareholders.
Looking forward, the Group will make steady progress in accordance with the plans formulated before its Listing and its actual operational conditions, so as to facilitate effective implementation of the business objectives of the Company and bring benefits from it.
The Board would like to extend its sincere thanks to the shareholders of the Company and the Group, business partners and customers for their utmost support to the Group. The Group would also like to take this opportunity to thank all management members and staff for their hard work and dedication throughout the year.

The increase in revenue from pop concerts was mainly attributable to (i) the increase in the number of pop concerts undertaken by the Group from 298 for the year ended 31 May 2016 to 343 for the year ended 31 May 2017 and (ii) the increase in the average revenue per show for pop concerts from approximately HK$105,000 for the year ended 31 May 2016 to approximately HK$166,000 for the year ended 31 May 2017 as a result of increase in the demand for higher quality and more complex visual display effect by the Group’s customers.
The increase in revenue from other live events was mainly attributable to (i) the increase in the number of other live events undertaken by the Group from 235 for the year ended 31 May 2016 to 292 for the year ended 31 May 2017 and (ii) the increase in the average revenue per show for other live events from approximately HK$31,000 for the year ended 31 May 2016 to approximately HK$34,000 for the year ended 31 May 2017 because we undertook more large-scale corporate events for the year ended 31 May 2017.
Equipment rental
The Group occasionally rents out its equipment with a view to maximising the utilisation rate of the equipment. The revenue of the Group generated from equipment rental was approximately HK$0.1 million and HK$2.1 million, representing approximately 0.2% and 5.2% of its total revenue in the years ended 31 May 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Annual Report 2017 07
Management Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
During the year ended 31 May 2017, the Group provided services for a well-known Hong Kong artist for 80 shows of concert tour in Hong Kong, the PRC and other locations. Due to the significant amount of equipment (including some custom-made LED panels) used in that concert tour, the Group charged that customer with relatively higher service charges for each show in Hong Kong, the PRC and other locations. Therefore, the Group had a higher average revenue per show in Hong Kong, the PRC and other locations for the year ended 31 May 2017 as compared with the year ended 31 May 2016.
The following table sets out a breakdown of the revenue of the Group from other live events by the geographical location during the years ended 31 May 2017 with comparative figures for the year ended 31 May 2016:

Management Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
Depreciation
Depreciation recognised under the cost of services of the Group is related to the depreciation expenses for the visual display equipment of the Group for the provision of its services. For the year ended 31 May 2017, depreciation of visual display equipment represented approximately 32.8% of total cost of services (2016: 29.6%).
Direct labour costs
Direct labour costs of the Group represent compensation and benefits provided to the Group’s project managers, visual technicians, equipment development and maintenance staff and warehouse keepers employed by the Group. For the year ended 31 May 2017, direct labour costs represented approximately 29.3% of total cost of services (2016: 26.6%).
Subcontracting charges
Subcontracting charges of the Group primarily represent fees paid and payable to the human resource company which provided us with workers for installing and dismantling visual display equipment at pop concerts or other live events in Hong Kong, the PRC and Macau. For the year ended 31 May 2017, subcontracting charges represented approximately 20.5% of total cost of services (2016: 13.8%).
Freight and logistics expenses
Freight and logistics expenses of the Group primarily represent transportation expenses for delivering the Group’s visual display equipment to or from its warehouses to the designated venues of pop concerts and other live events or between different sites of pop concerts and other live events. For the year ended 31 May 2017, freight and logistics expenses represented approximately 10.1% of total cost of services (2016: 9.7%).
Cost of equipment and spare parts
Cost of equipment and spare parts of the Group represents the expenses in relation to tools and consumables used for onsite installation and maintenance, or cost relating to the equipment that the customer opt to keep. For the year ended 31 May 2017, the cost of equipment and spare parts represented approximately 3.1% of total cost of services (2016: 16.1%). The higher percentage accounted for the year ended 31 May 2016 was mainly due to the incurred cost of equipment of approximately HK$3.4 million for a concert tour held in Taiwan since the customer opted to keep the equipment upon completion of the concert tour.
Equipment rental charges
Equipment rental charges of the Group primarily represent rental charges for visual display equipment such as LED panels, projectors, video control units, and other equipment that was required for the pop concerts or other live events in Hong Kong, Macau and the PRC (i) where the Group’s own relevant equipment was fully occupied at the particular time or (ii) for cost effectiveness reason in view of the logistics expenses. For the year ended 31 May 2017, equipment rental charges represented approximately 4.2% of total cost of services (2016: 4.2%).
Gross profit and gross profit margin
Gross profit of the Group for the year ended 31 May 2017 amounted to approximately HK$33.9 million (2016: HK$18.0 million), representing gross profit margin of approximately 50.8% (2016: 44.0%). The increase of the gross profit margin was mainly attributable to the higher utilisation of the visual display equipment of the Group.
Annual Report 2017 09
Management Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
Administrative expenses
The administrative expenses of the Group mainly include administrative staff costs, rent and rate, Listing expenses and others. The Group’s administrative expenses increased by approximately 241.3% from approximately HK$8.7 million for the year ended 31 May 2016 to approximately HK$29.7 million for the year ended 31 May 2017, primarily due to the recognition of the Listing expenses approximately HK$17.6 million incurred for the preparation of the Listing during the year ended 31 May 2017 (2016: Nil).
Finance costs, net
The finance costs of the Group mainly consist of interests on bank borrowings which were wholly repayable within five years, interest expenses on bank overdrafts, interest expenses on obligations under finance leases, imputed interest on payables for equipment and imputed interest on shareholder’s loan. The Group’s finance costs increased by approximately 63.6% from approximately HK$1.1 million for the year ended 31 May 2016 to approximately HK$1.8 million for the year ended 31 May 2017 which was mainly due to the recognition of the imputed interests on payables for equipment and shareholder’s loan during the year.
Income tax expense
The Group is subject to income tax on an enterprise basis on profits arising in or derived from the jurisdictions in which members of the Group are domiciled and operate. During the years ended 31 May 2017 and 2016, all PRC subsidiaries of the Company were subject to an Enterprise Income Tax rate of 25.0%. The Hong Kong subsidiary of the Company was subject to Hong Kong profit tax at the rate of 16.5% on the estimated assessable profits during the years ended 31 May 2017 and 2016.
The effective income tax rate of the Group was 122.6% in the year ended 31 May 2017 (2016: 19.3%). The higher effective income tax rate for the year ended 31 May 2017 was primarily due to the one-off Listing expenses of HK$17.6 million, which were not deductible for tax purposes.
(Loss)/Profit for the year
As a result of the foregoing, the Group’s loss was approximately HK$0.7 million for the year ended 31 May 2017, representing a decrease of approximately HK$7.6 million or 109.6% as compared with a profit of approximately HK$6.9 million for the year ended 31 May 2016. The decrease was mainly due to the recognition of the Listing expenses of approximately HK$17.6 million in connection with the Listing for the year ended 31 May 2017 (2016: HK$Nil). Taking no account of the one-off Listing expenses, the Group’s adjusted profit for the year ended 31 May 2017 would have been approximately HK$16.9 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$10.0 million or 144.4% as compared with the year ended 31 May 2016.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Financial Resources, Liquidity and Capital Structure
The Group finances its operations primarily through cash generated from operating activities and interest-bearing bank borrowing, overdrafts and finance leases. The Group recorded net current liabilities of approximately HK$11.3 million as at 31 May 2017 (2016: HK$12.3 million).
10 In Technical Productions Holdings Limited
Management Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
As at 31 May 2017, the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately HK$11.3 million. Included in current liabilities were bank borrowings of approximately HK$12.3 million which are due for repayment after one year but have been classified as current liabilities as they are subject to a repayable on demand clause as at 31 May 2017. Upon the completion of the Listing after payment of Listing expenses, the Group had raised net Listing proceeds of HK$34.5 million from the issuance of ordinary shares.
As at 31 May 2017, the Group’s current ratio was approximately 0.8 (2016: 0.6) and the Group’s gearing ratio calculated based on the total debt at the end of the year divided by total equity at the end of the year was approximately 136.9% (2016: 69.8%). The increase of the Group’s gearing ratio in the year ended 31 May 2017 was mainly due to additions of shareholder’s loan and bank loans of approximately HK$14.7 million and HK$10.0 million, respectively.
As at 31 May 2017, the maximum limit of the banking facilities available to the Group was amounted to HK$20.3 million. The bank borrowings were denominated in Hong Kong dollars, repayable within one year or on demand and interest-bearing from 4.0% to 7.0% per annum (2016: 4.0% to 7.7% per annum). As at 31 May 2017, all the bank borrowings were interest-bearing at floating rates of 4.0% to 7.0% per annum except a bank loan of approximately HK$0.2 million was at fixed rate of 4.0% per annum.
The Group’s financial position has been further enhanced by the proceeds from the Share Offer in June 2017.
As at 31 May 2017, the capital structure of the Group consisted of equity attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$24.9 million, comprising issued share capital and reserves.
The Shares were listed on the GEM of the Stock Exchange on the Listing Date. There has been no change in the capital structure of the Group since then.
FOREIGN CURRENCY EXPOSURE RISKS
The Group operates mainly in Hong Kong and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to certain purchases with United states dollars (“US$”) and certain sales with Renminbi (“RMB”). Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the group entities’ functional currency. The Group however did not engage in any derivatives agreements and did not commit to any financial instrument to hedge its foreign exchange exposure during the year ended 31 May 2017.
TREASURY POLICIES
The Group has adopted a prudent financial management approach towards its treasury policies and thus maintained a healthy liquidity position throughout the year ended 31 May 2017. The Group strives to reduce exposure to credit risk by performing ongoing credit assessments and evaluations of the financial status of its customers. To manage liquidity risk, the Board closely monitors the Group’s liquidity position to ensure that the liquidity structure of the Group’s assets, liabilities and other commitments can meet its funding requirements from time to time.

Management Discussion and Analysis (Continued)
SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS, MATERIAL ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSALS OF SUBSIDIARIES
During the year ended 31 May 2017, the Group did not have any significant investments, material acquisitions nor disposals of subsidiaries and affiliated companies save for those reorganisation activities done for the purpose of Listing as set out in the paragraph headed “Reorganisation” under the section headed “History, Reorganisation and Corporate Structure” in the Prospectus.
CAPITAL COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
As at 31 May 2017, the Group did not have any material capital commitments or any material contingent liabilities.
PLEDGE OF ASSETS
As at 31 May 2017, the Group’s pledged short-term bank deposits in the amount of HK$3.0 million was pledged as security for the Group’s banking facilities.
USE OF PROCEEDS AND COMPARISON OF BUSINESS OBJECTIVES WITH ACTUAL BUSINESS PROGRESS
The net proceeds from the Share Offer was approximately HK$34.5 million (after deduction of the underwriting commission and Listing related expenses). As the actual amount of the Listing expenses is higher than the estimated amount of the Listing expenses set out in the Prospectus, the actual net proceeds from the Share Offer was less than the estimated net proceeds of approximately HK$35.5 million as set out in the Prospectus and the allotment results announcement dated 13 June 2017. Accordingly, the amount of proceeds allocated for use as general working capital is adjusted from HK$1.7 million to HK$0.7 million. The amount of net proceeds allocated to other uses as set out in the section headed “Statement of Business Objectives and Use of Proceeds” in the Prospectus will remain unchanged.
Given that the Share Offer was completed after 31 May 2017, the implementation plan as set out in the section headed “Statement of Business Objectives and Use of Proceeds” in the Prospectus will commence during the year ending 31 May 2018.
Up to the date of this report, HK$0.8 million and HK$4.8 million of the net proceeds from the Share Offer have been utilised for settlement of payable for visual display equipment purchased for use in concert tour for a well-known Hong Kong artist and repayment of bank borrowings, respectively. The unutilised net proceeds of approximately HK$28.9 million are deposited in a licensed bank in Hong Kong.

Corporate Governance Report
The Board is committed to establish and ensuring high standards of corporate governance and adopt sound corporate governance practices. The Company’s corporate governance practices are based on the Corporate Governance Code and Corporate Governance Report (the “CG Code”) as set out in Appendix 15 to the GEM Listing Rules. The Directors strongly believe that reasonable and sound corporate governance practices are essential for the growth of the Group and for safeguarding and enhancing shareholders’ interests.
As the Shares were listed on 14 June 2017 (the “Listing Date”), the Company was not required to comply with the requirements set out in the CG Code for the year ended 31 May 2017. However, the Directors consider that since the Listing Date and up to the date of this report, except for the deviation from code provision A.2.1 of the CG Code, the Company has complied with all the applicable code provisions set out in the CG Code. Code provision A.2.1 of the CG Code stipulates that the roles of chairman and chief executive should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual. Mr. Yeung Ho Ting Dennis is the chairman and the chief executive officer of the Company. In view of Mr. Yeung’s role in day-to-day operations and management of the Group since April 2009, the Board believes that it is in the best interest of the Group to have Mr. Yeung taking up both roles for effective management and business development. Therefore, the Directors consider that the deviation from the code provision A.2.1 of the CG Code is appropriate in such circumstance and the Board is of the view that this management structure is effective for the Group’s operations and sufficient checks and balances are in place.

Independent Auditor’s Report
==> picture [82 x 60] intentionally omitted <==
To the Shareholders of In Technical Productions Holdings Limited
(incorporated in Cayman Islands with limited liability)
OPINION
What we have audited
The consolidated financial statements of In Technical Productions Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) set out on pages 50 to 99, which comprise:
-
the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 May 2017;
-
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended;
-
the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;
-
the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and
-
the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies.
Our opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 May 2017, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”) and have been properly prepared in compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing (“HKSAs”) issued by the HKICPA. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA’s Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Annual Report 2017
Independent Auditor’s Report (Continued)
KEY AUDIT MATTERS
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matter identified in our audit is related to estimated useful lives of visual display equipment:
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter
Estimated useful lives of visual display equipment:
Refer to Note 3.5 in the summary of significant accounting policies, Note 5(a) in the critical accounting estimates and judgements and Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements for related disclosure.
As at 31 May 2017, the Group held visual display equipment of approximately HK$64.0 million. For the year ended 31 May 2017, depreciation expense of approximately HK$10.8 million was recognised.
Depreciation of visual display equipment is calculated using a straight-line method to allocate the cost over their estimated useful lives of 8 years, except for those equipment which are custom made for a particular project or event, their cost is depreciated over the duration of the project or event.
Our procedures in relation to management’s estimated useful lives of the non-custom made visual display equipment included:
-
We assessed the reasonableness of the useful lives adopted by the Group by making reference to independent research report on durability, expected repairs and maintenance and future demand of visual display equipment;
-
We tested on a sample basis, whether additions to visual display equipment have been recorded in proper categories for the calculation of depreciation; and
-
We observed the Group’s physical count procedures on visual display equipment and the physical condition of the relevant assets to identify whether there is any damaged or obsolete visual display equipment.
Management estimates useful lives of the non-custom made visual display equipment with reference to the durability, expected repairs and maintenance and future demand of the equipment.
Based on the procedures described, we found the estimated useful lives of the non-custom made visual display equipment were supportable by the available evidence.
Management also takes into account the industry practice and expectation on technical or commercial obsolescence arising from changes or improvements in the market relevant to their business.
We focused on this area because the carrying amount of visual display equipment is significant to the consolidated financial statements and the determination of estimated useful lives of visual display equipment, which has a direct impact on the calculation of depreciation expense, requires the use of significant judgements and estimates.

Independent Auditor’s Report (Continued)
OTHER INFORMATION
The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all of the information included in the annual report other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDIT COMMITTEE FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The audit committee is responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. We report our opinion solely to you, as a body, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
Annual Report 2017 47
Independent Auditor’s Report (Continued)
As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the audit committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the audit committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
48 In Technical Productions Holdings Limited
Independent Auditor’s Report (Continued)
From the matters communicated with the audit committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Chu Wang Hay.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
1 GENERAL INFORMATION AND REORGANISATION
1.1 Corporate information
In Technical Productions Holdings Limited (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on 4 November 2016 as an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Law (as revised) of the Cayman Islands, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time. The address of its registered office is Clifton House, 75 Fort Street, P.O. Box 1350, Grand Cayman, KY1-1008 Cayman Islands.
The Company is an investment holding company. The Company and the companies now comprising the Group (together the “Group”) are principally engaged in the provision of visual display solution services for concerts and events in Hong Kong, Macau, the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) and Taiwan (the “Business”). Prior to the incorporation of the Company, the Business was conducted by In Technical Productions Limited (“ITP (HK)”) and its subsidiaries. ITP (HK) was owned by Mr. Yeung Ho Ting Dennis (“Mr. Yeung”), Mr. Chang Yu-shu (“Mr. Chang”) and UCP Co., Ltd. (“UCP”) as to 75%, 15% and 10%.
The Company’s shares were listed on the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”) on 14 June 2017 (the “Listing”).
The consolidated financial statements is presented in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”), unless otherwise stated.
1.2 Reorganisation
In preparation for the initial public offering (“IPO”) and the Listing, the Company underwent a reorganisation (the “Reorganisation”) of the corporate structure of the companies now comprising the Group. The major steps undertaken to effect the Reorganisation are as follows:
-
(a) On 4 November 2016, the Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as the holding company of the Group. Upon incorporation, one share of HK$0.01, representing the entire issued share capital of the Company, was allotted and issued to Next Vision Management Limited (“Next Vision”), a company owned by Mr. Yeung, Mr. Chang and UCP as to 75%, 15% and 10%.
-
(b) In Technical Productions (B.V.I.) Limited (“ITP (BVI)”) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) on 9 November 2016 as the intermediate holding company of the Group. Upon incorporation, one share of US$1.00, representing the entire issued share capital of ITP (BVI), was allotted and issued to the Company.
-
(c) On 24 November 2016, ITP (BVI) acquired 75%, 15% and 10% of the issued share capital of ITP (HK) from Mr. Yeung, Mr. Chang and UCP at a consideration of HK$24,531,855.38, HK$4,906,371.08 and HK$3,270,914.05, respectively. Such consideration was satisfied by allotting and issuing 74 shares, 15 shares and 10 shares in ITP (BVI) to the Company, as directed by Mr. Yeung, Mr. Chang and UCP, respectively, on 24 November 2016. Upon completion of the acquisition, ITP (HK) became a wholly owned subsidiary of ITP (BVI).
Upon the completion of the Reorganisation, the Company became the holding company of the companies now comprising the Group.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
2 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Immediately prior to and after the Reorganisation, the Business had been and continues to be conducted through companies managed and controlled by Mr. Yeung. The Company has not been involved in any business prior to the Reorganisation. The Reorganisation is merely a reorganisation of the Business with no change in management and the controlling shareholders. The Group established resulting from the Reorganisation is regarded as a continuation of the Business and under common control of Mr. Yeung before and after the Reorganisation.
Accordingly, the consolidated consolidated financial statements of the Company is prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) 10, “Consolidated Financial Statements”, issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”), by using the carrying values of the Business for all periods presented, or since the respective dates of incorporation of the subsidiaries within the Group, whichever is the later.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised profits or losses on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation.
3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
3.1 Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap 622). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except that investment in an insurance contract is stated at its cash surrender value.
As at 31 May 2017, the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately HK$11,318,000. Included in current liabilities were bank borrowings of approximately HK$12,289,000 which are due for repayment after one year but have been classified as current liabilities as they are subject to a repayable on demand clause as at 31 May 2017. Upon the completion of the Listing after payment of Listing expenses, the Group had raised net Listing proceeds of approximately HK$34,451,000 from the issuance of ordinary shares.
Management has prepared cash flow projections which cover a period of twelve months from the balance sheet date. Based on the Group’s cash flow projections and taking into account the proceeds raised from the Listing and the continued availability of banking facilities, the directors are of the opinion that the Group will have sufficient working capital to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due within the next twelve months from 31 May 2017. The directors believe that the Group will continue as a going concern and accordingly have prepared the consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

HKFRS 9 “Financial instruments” replaces the whole of HKAS 39. IFRS 9 has three financial asset classification categories for investments in debt instruments: amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and fair value through profit or loss. Classification is driven by the entity’s business model for managing the debt instruments and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Investments in equity instruments are always measured at fair value. However, management can make an irrevocable election to present changes in fair value in OCI, provided the instrument is not held for trading. If the equity instrument is held for trading, changes in fair value are presented in profit or loss. For financial liabilities there are two classification categories: amortised cost and fair value through profit or loss. Where non-derivative financial liabilities are designated at fair value through profit or loss, the changes in the fair value due to changes in the liability’s own credit risk are recognised in OCI, unless such changes in fair value would create an accounting mismatch in profit or loss, in which case, all fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss. There is no subsequent recycling of the amounts in OCI to profit or loss. For financial liabilities held for trading (including derivative financial liabilities), all changes in fair value are presented in profit or loss.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
3.1 Basis of preparation (Continued)
HKFRS 9 also introduces a new model for the recognition of impairment losses — the expected credit losses (ECL) model, which constitutes a change from the incurred loss model in HKAS 39. HKFRS 9 contains a ’three stage’ approach, which is based on the change in credit quality of financial assets since initial recognition. Assets move through the three stages as credit quality changes and the stages dictate how an entity measures impairment losses and applies the effective interest rate method. The new rules mean that on initial recognition of a noncredit impaired financial asset carried at amortised cost a day-1 loss equal to the 12-month ECL is recognised in profit or loss. In the case of accounts receivable this day-1 loss will be equal to their lifetime ECL. Where there is a significant increase in credit risk, impairment is measured using lifetime ECL rather than 12-month ECL.
For the years ended 31 May 2017 and 2016, all of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities were carried at amortised cost without significant impairment on the former, the implementation of HKFRS 9 is not expected to result in any significant impact on the Group’s financial position and results of operations.
HKFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” — This new standard replaces the previous revenue standards: HKAS 18 “Revenue” and HKAS 11 “Construction Contracts”, and the related interpretations on revenue recognition. HKFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining when to recognise revenue and how much revenue to recognise through a 5-step approach: (1) Identify the contract(s) with customer; (2) Identify separate performance obligations in a contract; (3) Determine the transaction price; (4) Allocate transaction price to performance obligations; and (5) Recognise revenue when performance obligation is satisfied. The core principle is that a company should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. It moves away from a revenue recognition model based on an “earning processes” to an “asset-liability” approach based on transfer of control. HKFRS 15 provides specific guidance on capitalisation of contract cost, license arrangements and principal versus agent considerations. It also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers. The Group has performed a preliminary assessment of the potential impact of the application of HKFRS 15 and identified the key areas which might be accounted for differently under this new standard, including but not limited to the timing of revenue recognition and the accounting treatment of contract costs, and the impact is not expected to be material.
HKFRS 16 “Leases” — The Group is a lessee of offices and warehouses which are currently classified as operating leases. The Group’s current accounting policy for such leases is set out in Note 3.14. As at 31 May 2017, the aggregated future lease payments of the Group under operating leases was HK$3,114,799. HKFRS 16 provides new provisions for the accounting treatment of leases and will in the future no longer allow lessees to account for certain leases outside the statement of financial position. Instead, all long-term leases must be recognised in the form of assets (for the rights of use) and lease liabilities (for the payment obligations), both of which would carry initially at the discounted present value of the future operating lease commitments currently disclosed in Note 29(b). Short-term leases with a lease term of twelve months or less and leases of low-value assets are exempt from such reporting obligations. The new standard will therefore result in recognition of a right-to-use asset and an increase in lease liabilities in the statement of financial position. In profit or loss, rental expenses will be replaced with depreciation and interest expense. The implementation of HKFRS 16 is not expected to result in any significant impact on the Group’s financial position and results of operations but it is expected that certain portion of these lease commitments will be required to be recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position as right of use of assets and lease liabilities.
Annual Report 2017 59
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
3.1 Basis of preparation (Continued)
According to the preliminary assessment made by the directors of the Company, management does not anticipate any significant impact on the Group’s financial position and results of operations upon adoption of the other new, amended and revised HKFRSs mentioned above other than changes on the disclosure.
3.2 Subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
Inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Profits and losses resulting from inter-company transactions that are recognised in assets are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transaction-that is, as transactions with the owners of the subsidiary in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying amount of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposal to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost also includes direct attributable costs of investment. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividends received and receivable.
3.3 Foreign currency translation
- (a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the consolidated financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in HK$, which is the Company’s functional currency and the Group’s presentation currency.
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
3.3 Foreign currency translation (Continued)
- (c) Group companies
The results and financial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
-
assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position;
-
income and expenses for each income statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and
-
all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
3.4 Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the executive directors of the Company who make strategic decisions.
3.5 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are expensed in profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate cost over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
| Visual display equipment | 8 years or over the period of the event, where appropriate |
|---|---|
| Furniture and other equipment | 4 years |
| Motor vehicles | 3 years |
| Leasehold improvements | Over the lease term |
Visual display equipment is depreciated over a useful life of eight years, except for those which are custom made for a particular project/event. Such equipment is depreciated over the duration of the project/event.
The assets’ useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each period end date.

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
3.5 Property, plant and equipment (Continued)
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (Note 3.6).
Gains and losses on disposal are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in other gains, net in the statement of comprehensive income.
3.6 Impairment of non-financial assets
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each period end date.
3.7 Financial assets
- (i) Classification
The Group classifies its financial assets as loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for the amounts that are settled or expected to be settled more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. The Group’s loans and receivables comprise trade receivables, deposits and other receivables, amount due from a director, amount due from the immediate holding company and cash and bank balances in the statement of financial position.
- (ii) Recognition and measurement
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade-date — the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
3.8 Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Group or the counterparty.

3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
3.9 Impairment of financial assets — assets carried at amortised cost
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ’loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.
For loans and receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
3.10 Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection of trade and other receivables is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment.
3.11 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks.
3.12 Payables
Payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Annual Report 2017 63
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
3.13 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Restructuring provisions comprise lease termination penalties and employee termination payments. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole.
A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
3.14 Leases
- (i) Operating leases
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
(ii) Finance leases
The Group leases certain property, plant and equipment. Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payment.
Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other long-term payables. The interest element of the finance cost is recognised in profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term.
3.15 Borrowings and borrowing costs
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
3.15 Borrowings and borrowing costs (Continued)
Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the drawdown occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period.
Borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
3.16 Current and deferred income tax
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred income tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
- (a) Current income tax
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the period end date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
(b) Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

(c) Offsetting
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
3.17 Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
3.18 Revenue recognition
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of services in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue is shown net of discounts.
The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as described below. The amount of revenue is not considered to be reliably measurable until all contingencies relating to the sale have been resolved. The Group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.
-
(i) Revenue from visual display solution services
-
Revenue from visual display solution services is recognized after each show or event of a project is performed.
-
(ii) Interest income
-
Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.
-
(iii) Handling income
-
Handling income is recognised when the services are performed.
-
(iv) Equipment rental income
Equipment rental income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
3.19 Employee benefits
-
(i) Employee leave entitlements
-
Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by the employees up to the period end date.
Employee entitlements to sick leave and maternity leave are not recognised until the time of leave.

3.19 Employee benefits (Continued)
(ii) Bonus plans
The Group recognizes a liability and an expense for bonuses, based on performance and taking into consideration the profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders after certain adjustments. The Group recognizes a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.
(iii) Pension obligation
The Group participates in various defined contribution retirement benefit plans which are available to all relevant employees. These plans are generally funded through payments to schemes established by governments or trustee administered funds. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays contributions on mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis into a separate entity. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee services in the current and prior periods. The Group’s contributions to the defined contribution plans are expensed as incurred.
3.20 Investment in an insurance contract
The Group acquired a key management insurance contract, which includes both investment and insurance elements. The investment insurance contract is initially recognised at the amount of the premium paid and subsequently carried at the amount that could be realised under the insurance contract (cash surrender value) at end of each reporting period, with changes recognised in profit or loss.
4 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
4.1 Financial risk factors
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance.
Management regularly manages the financial risks of the Group. Because of the simplicity of the financial structure and the current operations of the Group, no hedging activities are undertaken by management.
(a) Interest rate risk
Other than the bank balances, the Group has no other interest-bearing assets. The Group’s bank balances earn interests at low interest rates which are not significant. Certain bank borrowings at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk.
At 31 May 2017 and 2016, if the interest rates on these loans had been 50 basis points higher/lower with all other variables held constant, the Group’s finance costs would have been approximately HK$94,434 and HK$76,112, respectively, higher/lower.
Annual Report 2017 67
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
4 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)
4.1 Financial risk factors (Continued)
(b) Foreign exchange risk
The Group operates mainly in Hong Kong and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to United states dollars (“US$”) and Renminbi (“RMB”). Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities arc denominated in a currency that is not the group entities’ functional currency.
In the opinion of the directors, US$ is reasonably stable with HK$ under the Linked Exchange Rate System, and accordingly, the Group considers the foreign exchange risk is low and no sensitivity analysis is performed relative to the US$.
At 31 May 2017 and 2016, if RMB had weakened/strengthened by 5% against HK$ with all other variables held constant, loss/profit for the years ended 31 May 2017 and 2016 would have been approximately HK$291,012 lower/higher and HK$272,065 higher/lower, respectively, mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains on translation of payables denominated in RMB.
(c) Credit risk
Credit risk mainly arises from cash and bank balances, trade and other receivables and deposits and balance due from the director. The carrying amounts of these balances in the consolidated statement of financial position represent the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to its financial assets.
Management has a credit policy in place and the exposures to these credit risks are monitored on an ongoing basis.
The Group maintains a credit policy for its customers and the credit terms given vary according to the business activities. The financial strength of and the length of business relationship with the customers, on an individual basis, are considered in arriving at the respective credit terms. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by management.
The credit quality of the debtors is assessed based on the financial position of the debtors as well as past experience of the Group in dealing with respective debtors. The Group’s historical experience in collection of deposits and receivables falls within recorded allowance and the directors are of the opinion that adequate provision for uncollectible receivable has been made.
Majority of the Group’s bank balances are placed in those banks and financial institutions which are independently rated with a high credit rating. Management does not expect any losses from nonperformance by these banks and financial institutions as they have no default history in the past. There is no concentration of credit risk as the Group’s bank balances and deposits were mainly deposited in financial institutions with good credit ratings, and the Group has a large number of counterparties for receivables. Management does not expect any losses from non-performance by these financial institutions and counterparties.

4 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (Continued)
4.1 Financial risk factors (Continued)
(d) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. The Group’s primary cash requirements have been for additions of machinery and equipment, and payment for purchases and operating expenses. The Group mainly finances its working capital requirements through internal resources, shareholder’s loan and bank borrowings.
The Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents considered adequate by the directors to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The directors monitor the utilisation of bank borrowings to ensure adequate unutilised banking facilities and compliance with loan covenants.
The table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the period end date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

4.2 Capital Management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The capital structure of the Group consists of shareholders’ equity and total borrowings. Capital is managed so as to maximise the return to shareholders while maintaining a capital base to allow the Group to operate effectively in the marketplace and sustain future development of the business. The Group monitors capital on the basis of gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including “obligations under finance leases”, “shareholder’s loan” and “current and non-current borrowings” as shown in the statement of financial position) less cash and bank balances. Total capital is calculated as “equity” as shown in the statement of financial position plus net debt.

35.3% |
As at 31 May 2017, the gearing ratio increases slightly as increase in cash and bank balances was mainly resulted from an increase in bank borrowings and a shareholder’s loan.
4.3 Fair value estimation
The carrying values less impairment provision of trade and other receivables and payables are a reasonable approximation of their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.
Annual Report 2017 71
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
5 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:
(a) Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
Management determines the estimated useful lives, and related depreciation charge for its property, plant and equipment. The estimates are based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of property, plant and equipment of similar nature and functions, the durability, the expected repairs and maintenance and the future demand of equipment. Management will increase the depreciation charge where useful lives are less than previously estimated useful lives. It will write off or write-down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold. Actual economic lives may differ from estimated useful lives. Periodic review could result in a change in depreciable lives and therefore affect the depreciation charge in future periods.
(b) Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial assets including property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The recoverable amounts have been determined based on value-in-use calculations or fair value less costs to sell. These calculations require the use of judgments and estimates. Management judgment is required in the area of asset impairment particularly in assessing: (i) whether an event has occurred that may indicate that the related asset values may not be recoverable; (ii) whether the carrying value of asset can be supported by the recoverable amount, being the higher of fair value less costs to sell and net present value of future cash flows which are estimated based upon the continued use of the asset in the business; and (iii) the appropriate key assumptions to be applied in preparing cash flow projections including whether these cash flow projections are discounted using an appropriate rate. Changing the assumptions selected by management in assessing impairment, including the discount rates or the growth rate assumptions in the cash flow projections, could materially affect the net present value used in the impairment test and as a result affect the Group’s financial condition and results of operations. If there is a significant adverse change in the projected performance and the resulting future cash flow projections, it may be necessary to take an impairment charge to profit or loss.
(c) Impairment of receivables
Management determines the provision for impairment of receivables based on an assessment of the recoverability of the receivables. This assessment is based on the credit history of its debtors and the current market condition, and requires the use of judgements and estimates. Management reassesses the provision at each period end date.

5 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (Continued)
(d) Current and deferred taxation
The Group is subject to income taxes in various jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income taxes. The Group recognises liabilities or anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
Deferred income tax assets relating to certain temporary differences and tax losses are recognised when management considers it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences or tax losses can be utilised. When the expectation is different from the original estimate, such differences will impact the recognition of deferred income tax assets and taxation charges in the period in which such estimate is changed.
6 SEGMENT INFORMATION
Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the chief operating decisionmaker that are used to make strategic decisions. These reports are prepared on the same basis as these consolidated financial statements.
The chief operating decision-maker is identified as the executive directors of the Company. The executive directors review the Group’s consolidated financial statements mainly from a single business perspective as the Group is mainly engaged in the provision of visual display solution services.
