CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
To our Shareholders,
On behalf of the board of directors (the “Board” or “Directors”) of Zhong Fa Zhan Holdings Limited (the “Company”), I am pleased to present the annual report of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively “Zhong Fa Zhan” or the “Group”) for the year ended 31 March 2014.
During the year of review the Group principally focused on the design, manufacturing and wholesale of fine jewelry products in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”). As the operating environment in the PRC continued to be unfavourable, even though the Group’s measures for controlling operating costs have achieved considerable results, the intense competition under the current circumstances still posed significant pressure on the Group’s sales. In order to tackle these difficulties, the Group has actively considered strategies that may generate more income and maintained its efforts in cost control, with a view to minimizing the effect of the unfavorable factors on the profitability.
The Group reviews its existing businesses and explores potential investment opportunities from time to time, and may consider changing and diversifying the Group’s businesses, depending on the results of review and if there are appropriate opportunities, so as to expand the revenue sources of the Group. Meanwhile, we will consider and look for opportunities of fund raising from time to time with reference to the market conditions, in order to expand the Group’s asset portfolio and its potential for long term growth. The Company will also establish the direction of its future business development through diversified strategies. We are confident that we can overcome such difficulties and successfully tap new business opportunities and achieve even better results.
Based on the prudent financial principle and upon the consideration towards the sustainable development of the Group, the Board does not propose the distribution of any final dividend for the 2013/14 financial year.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all shareholders, customers and business partners of the Company for their continuing support to the Group. I wish to also express my appreciation to the Group’s directors, management and staffs for their contribution and commitment to the Group over the last year.

Annual Report 2013/14
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
==> picture [145 x 145] intentionally omitted <==
Operating Results
The sales turnover of the Group dropped by 10.8% from HK$75.8 million to HK$67.6 million for the year ended 31 March 2014 (the “Review Period”). However, the gross profit margin increased slightly from 9.1% to 10.9% to HK$7.4 million during the Review Period.
The Group recorded a net loss of HK$20.0 million for the Review Period (2013: net loss of HK$31.1 million). Though the result has been improved, the reduction in net loss is mainly contributed by the absence of the one-off expense in relation to the issuance of share options to the Directors and other eligible participants in June 2012. Basic loss per share were 7.3 HK cents (2013: basic loss per share were 11.4 HK cents).
Business Review
The implementation of certain cost control measures has proven to be effective and the outcome is reflected by the slightly increased gross profit margin. Nevertheless, it has been a rough year with intense competition which has led to a drop in the sales turnover. The difficult operating environment has not offered the Group any favorable factors to greatly enhance its performance.
Although improvement of net result is noted, considering the non-recurring nature of the share option expense of HK$16.4 million in prior year, it should be excluded for a fair analysis. Without taking into account the prior year’s share option expense, the net loss in fact increased from HK$14.7 million to HK$20.0 million. During the year, we have put in additional resources for exploring potential investment opportunities while stringently governing our operating cost base in order to stay competitive in the PRC jewelry wholesale business.
Prospects
We believe that the upcoming year will still be a great challenge. Under keen competition, we will continue to offer our customers best quality products and competitive prices. However, the uncertain economic environment in Mainland China and ongoing inflationary pressures together cast a mist on our path ahead. We will continue to adopt a prudent approach to minimize both our direct and indirect cost for a better result.
The Group will closely monitor and review its business operations and financial position for the purpose of formulating business plans and strategies for its future business development.
In regards to the market situation, we will consider and closely look for opportunities for fund raising activities from time to time with a view to expanding our total asset value base. Should suitable investment or business opportunities arise, the Group may consider diversifying its business with an objective to broaden its income source. Currently no such investment or business opportunities had been identified nor had the Group entered into any agreement, arrangements, understandings, intention or negotiation in relation to the injection of any assets or business into the Group.
Liquidity and Financial Resources
As at 31 March 2014, the Group’s net current assets and current ratio stood at HK$13.5 million and 1.5 respectively (2013: HK$23.8 million and 2.5 respectively). Net gearing ratio (total interest bearing borrowings net of cash at banks and in hand as a percentage of total equity) was nil as at 31 March 2014 (2013: Nil).

As at 31 March 2014, the Group did not have any significant contingent liabilities (2013: Nil).

The Group remunerates its employees based on their performance and work experience and the prevailing market rates. Salaries of employees are maintained at competitive levels while bonuses are granted by reference to the performance of the Group and individual employees.
Other benefits include share option scheme and contribution to statutory mandatory provident fund scheme to its employees in Hong Kong and the statutory central pension schemes to its employees in the PRC.
Foreign Exchange Fluctuation and Hedges
Currently, the Group was principally based in the PRC and was not significantly exposed to foreign exchange risk. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transaction and recognized assets and liabilities. While the Group would closely monitor the volatility of the Renminbi exchange rate, the Directors considered that the Group’s risk exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuation remained minimal currently.
As at 31 March 2014, no forward foreign currency contracts are designated in hedging accounting relationships (2013: Nil).

Directors’ Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants 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.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit and to report our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 31 March 2014
1. General
The Company is a public limited company incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company and its shares are listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”). Its parent and ultimate holding company is Resources Rich Capital Limited (“RRCL”), a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. The address of the registered office of the Company is Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, P.O. Box 2681, Grand Cayman KY1-1111, Cayman Islands. The address of the principal place of business of the Company is 23rd Floor, Chinachem Century Tower, 178 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong.
The Company is an investment holding company. Its subsidiaries are principally engaged in jewelry design, manufacture and wholesale business in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) (excluding Hong Kong).
The functional currency of the Company is Renminbi (“RMB”). For the convenience of the consolidated financial statements users, the consolidated financial statements have been presented in HK$, as the Company’s shares are listed in Hong Kong.
- Application of New and Revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”)
In the current year, the Group has applied the following amendments to HKFRSs issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”).
| Amendments to HKFRSs | Annual improvements to HKFRSs 2009 — 2011 cycle |
|---|---|
| Amendments to HKFRS 7 | Disclosures — Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities |
| Amendments to HKFRS 10, | Consolidated financial statements, joint arrangements and |
| HKFRS 11 and HKFRS 12 | disclosure of interests in other entities: Transition guidance |
| HKFRS 10 | Consolidated financial statements |
| HKFRS 11 | Joint arrangements |
| HKFRS 12 | Disclosure of interests in other entities |

Amendments to HKAS 1 Presentation of items of other comprehensive income
The Group has applied the amendments to HKAS 1 “Presentation of items of other comprehensive income”. Upon the adoption of the amendments to HKAS 1, the Group’s ‘statement of comprehensive income’ is renamed as the ‘statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income’ Furthermore, the amendments to HKAS 1 require additional disclosures to be made in the other comprehensive income section such that items of other comprehensive income are grouped into two categories: (a) items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss and (b) items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is required to be allocated on the same basis — the amendments do not change the option to present items of other comprehensive income either before tax or net of tax. The amendments have been applied retrospectively, and hence the presentation of items of other comprehensive income has been modified to reflect the changes. Other than the above mentioned presentation changes, the application of the amendments to HKAS 1 does not result in any impact on profit or loss, other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income.
HKFRS 13 Fair value measurement
The Group has applied HKFRS 13 for the first time in the current year. HKFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for, and disclosures about, fair value measurements. The scope of HKFRS 13 is broad: the fair value measurement requirements of HKFRS 13 apply to both financial instrument items and non-financial instrument items for which other HKFRSs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, subject to a few exceptions.
HKFRS 13 defines the fair value of an asset as the price that would be received to sell an asset (or paid to transfer a liability, in the case of determining the fair value of a liability) in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions. Fair value under HKFRS 13 is an exit price regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. Also, HKFRS 13 includes extensive disclosure requirements.
HKFRS 13 requires prospective application. In accordance with the transitional provisions of HKFRS 13, the Group has not made any new disclosures required by HKFRS 13 for the 2013 comparative period. Since the Group’s leasehold land and buildings had been disposed of during the year, the application of HKFRS 13 has not had any material impact on the disclosures and the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

3. Significant Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for leasehold land and buildings that were measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies set out below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods.
Annual Report 2013/14 33

3. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of HKFRS 2, leasing transactions that are within the scope of HKAS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in HKAS 2 or value in use in HKAS 36.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
-
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
-
Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
-
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The principal accounting policies are set out below.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:
-
has power over the investee;
-
is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
-
has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.
The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date when the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with the Group’s accounting policies.
All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sales related taxes.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied:
-
the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
-
the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
-
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
-
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and
-
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment other than leasehold land and buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purpose are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Leasehold land and buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes, are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at their revalued amounts, being the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, if any. Revaluations are performed with sufficient regularity such that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair values at the end of the reporting period.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Property, plant and equipment (Continued)
Any revaluation increase arising on the revaluation of leasehold land and buildings is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in properties revaluation reserve, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss, in which case the increase is credited to profit or loss to the extent of the decrease previously charged. A decrease in carrying amount arising on revaluation of an asset is recognised in profit or loss to the extent that it exceeds the balance, if any, on the properties revaluation reserve relating to a previous revaluation of that asset. On the subsequent sale or retirement of a revalued asset, the attributable revaluation surplus is transferred to retained profits.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or fair value of items of property, plant and equipment less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
The Group as lessor
Rental income from operating leases is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Group as lessee
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straightline basis.

Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recorded in the respective functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences arising on monetary items are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
For the purpose of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (i.e. HK$) using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expenses item are translated at the average exchange rates for the year. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading of exchange reserve.
Retirement benefit costs
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans, including state-managed retirement benefit scheme and the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme, are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

3. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from the profit before tax as reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax base used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary difference to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of the reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the first-in, firstout method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition.
Financial assets
The Group’s financial assets are classified as loans and receivables. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including trade and other receivables and bank balances and cash) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).

Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of the reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been affected.
For loans and receivables, objective evidence of impairment could include:
-
significant financial difficulty of the issuer and counterparty; or
-
breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interest and principal payments; or
-
it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation.
For certain categories of financial assets, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the credit period and observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment losses was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Debt and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
Equity instruments
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities including trade payables, other payables and accruals and loan from a controlling shareholder are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Derecognition
The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.
On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss.
The Group derecognises financial liability when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment losses on tangible assets
At the end of the reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or a cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

Share-based payment transactions
Equity-settled share-based payment transactions
Share options granted to employees
The fair value of services received determined by reference to the fair value of share options granted to employees at the grant date is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period or recognised as an expense in full at the grant date when the share options granted vest immediately, with a corresponding increase in equity (share option reserve).
At the end of the reporting period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to ultimately vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates during the vesting period, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to share option reserve.
When share options are exercised, the amount previously recognised in share option reserve will be transferred to share premium. When the share options are forfeited after the vesting date or are still not exercised at the expiry date, the amount previously recognised in share option reserve will be transferred to accumulated losses.
Share options granted to consultants
Share options issued in exchange for goods or services are measured at the fair values of the goods or services received, unless that fair value cannot be reliably measured, in which case the goods or services received are measured by reference to the fair value of the share options granted. The fair values of the goods or services received are recognised as expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity (share option reserve), when the Group obtains the goods or when the counterparties render services, unless the goods or services qualify for recognition as assets.
4. Capital Risk Management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the equity balance. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from prior year.
The capital structure of the Group consists of equity attributable to owners of the Company, comprising issued share capital, share premium and reserves.
The directors of the Company review the capital structure on a continuous basis. As part of this review, the directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with capital. Based on recommendations of the directors, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through the issuance of new shares and raising of new borrowings.

Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s major financial instruments include trade and other receivables, bank balances and cash, trade payables, other payables and accruals and loan from a controlling shareholder. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.
Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to variable-rate bank balances. The Group has not used any interest rate swaps to mitigate its exposure associated with fluctuations relating to interest cash flows.
The Group currently does not have interest rate hedging policy. However, the management monitors interest rate exposure and will consider hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arise.
The Company’s directors considered the Group’s exposure to currency risk relating to variable-rate bank balances is insignificant. Accordingly, no sensitivity analysis is presented.

Currency risk
The Group’s major monetary assets and liabilities are denominated in the functional currencies of the respective group entities, except for certain balances denominated in HK$ of group entities with United States dollar (“US$”) and RMB as their functional currencies.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are as follows:
| Assets Liabilities 2014 2013 2014 2013 HK$’000 HK$’000 HK$’000 HK$’000 |
Assets Liabilities 2014 2013 2014 2013 HK$’000 HK$’000 HK$’000 HK$’000 |
Assets Liabilities 2014 2013 2014 2013 HK$’000 HK$’000 HK$’000 HK$’000 |
|---|---|---|
| Functional currency as US$ against HK$ 376 HK$ against functional currency as RMB 6,720 |
1,159 (127) 714 (702) |
(144) (719) |
The Group currently does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, the management monitors foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.
For entity with a US$ functional currency holding monetary assets denominated in HK$, the directors considered that, as HK$ is pegged to US$, the Group is not subject to significant foreign currency risk from change in foreign exchange rate of HK$ against US$.
Sensitivity analysis
If HK$ against RMB increases/decreases by 5%, with all other variables held constant, the Group’s loss for the year would decrease/increase by approximately HK$301,000 (2013: increase/decrease by HK$1,000).5% is the sensitivity rate used by the management in the assessment of the reasonably possibly change in the foreign exchange rate.
The directors considered that other than those mentioned above, the sensitivity of the Group’s exposure against the changes in other foreign exchange rate is not significant as the foreign currency dominated monetary assets and liabilities of individual group entities were insignificant at the end of the reporting period.

Credit risk
The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in the event of the counterparties failure to perform their obligations as at 31 March 2014 in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position. In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. The management closely monitors the subsequent settlement of the debts and does not grant long credit period to customers. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
Liquidity risk
The Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The Group obtained a letter of financial support from the controlling shareholder pursuant to which the controlling shareholder has agreed to provide adequate funds to enable the Group to meet in full its financial obligations as and when they fall due for a period of at least the next twelve months from the date of the reporting period. In this regards, the Directors considered the liquidity risk is mitigated.
The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

Fair value
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis.
The directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair values.
6. Revenue and Segment Information
Revenue
Revenue represents the amounts received and receivable for goods sold in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sales related taxes.
Segment information
The Group operates and manages its business as a single segment that includes primarily the jewelry design, manufacture and wholesale business. The executive Directors, the Group’s chief operating decision makers, only review the revenue derived from customers in different geographical locations when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Group. As no other discrete financial information is available for the assessment of performance of the different locations, no other segment information is presented.

— — |
During the year, no emoluments were paid by the Group to the above-mentioned individuals as an inducement to join the Group or as compensation for loss of office.
11. Loss Per Share
The calculation of the basic and diluted loss per share attributable to the owners of the Company is based on the following data:
| 2014 HK$’000 |
2013 HK$’000 |
|---|---|
| Loss for the purposes of basic and diluted loss per share (loss for the year attributable to owners of the Company) (19,992) |
(31,123) |
| 2014 | 2013 |
| Number of shares Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purposes of basic and diluted loss per share 273,610,000 |
273,610,000 |
The computation of diluted loss per share for both years does not assume the exercise of share options since it would result in a decrease in loss per share.

On 26 February 2007, the Company has adopted a share option scheme (the “Share Option Scheme”) for the purpose of providing incentives or rewards to eligible participants for their contribution to the Group and/or enable the Group to recruit and retain high-calibre employees and attract human resources that are valuable to the Group.
Eligible participants of the Share Option Scheme include, (i) any executive director, employee or proposed employee of the Group or any invested entity; (ii) any non-executive director (including independent nonexecutive directors) of the Company or invested entity; (iii) any discretionary trust whose discretionary objects may be any executive director, employee or proposed employee and any non-executive director of the Company or invested entity; and (iv) advisers and consultants who are members of the Company’s advisory boards and other persons engaged as long term advisers or consultants to the Group.
The Share Option Scheme became effective on 26 February 2007 and, unless otherwise cancelled or amended, will remain in force for a period of ten years to 25 February 2017. HK$10.00 is payable by each eligible participant to the Company on acceptance of the grant of an option.
The overall limit on the number of shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company must not in aggregate exceed 30% of the shares of the Company in issue from time to time. The total number of shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of the options granted to each eligible participant in any 12-month period must not exceed 1% of the aggregate number of shares of the Company in issue. Where any further grant of options to an eligible participant would result in the shares issued or to be issued upon exercise of all options granted and to be granted to such eligible participant in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such further grant representing in aggregate over 1% of the shares of the Company in issue, such further grant must be separately approved by the shareholders in general meeting with such an eligible participant and his associates abstaining from voting.
The exercise price of the share options is determined by the committee of the board of the directors of the Company, but must be at least be the highest of: (a) the closing price of the shares as stated in the daily quotation sheet issued by the Stock Exchange on the date of grant; (b) the average of the closing prices of the shares as stated in the daily quotation sheets issued by the Stock Exchange over the five trading days immediately preceding the date of grant; (c) the nominal value of a share.

- Other grantees represent independent consultants who has provided administrative consultancy services to the Group after the completion of the reorganisation of the Group in 2011. These share options were granted by the Company without entering into formal service agreements with these consultants. In the opinion of the directors of the Company, these share options were granted to the consultants for rendering miscellaneous services to the Group, including but not limited to consultancy services in respect of identification of potential investment opportunities and lining-up business connections for the Group. The Group granted share options to them for recognizing their efforts. Since their services are such unique that the fair value cannot be reliably measured, the services received are measured by reference to the fair value of share options granted.
