LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Although the Other Investors are financial investors as opposed to strategic investors and therefore would not be giving any direct strategic direction to the Company’s management, the Directors consider that the Other Investors can contribute meaningfully to the Company’s business because the Other Investors’ Subscriptions will bring in gross proceeds of approximately HK$181.5 million, thereby enabling the Group to have sufficient financial resources to pursue opportunities in cultural and new media industries in China and overseas, as set out in the section headed “Use of proceeds and future business plan” below.
The Directors noted that the Group’s media business is undergoing rapid development, with its revenue having more than doubled in the first six months of 2015. On the basis of available market data, the Directors consider there likely to be ongoing significant expansion in the media and entertainment market. The Group will therefore continue to invest in film-related projects in order to generate better return.
According to “Outlook insights: an analysis of global entertainment and media outlook 2015 – 2019” prepared by PricewaterhouseCoopers (the “PwC Report”) and the “2014 Report on the Market Influence of Chinese Films”* (2014年中國電影市場影響力研究報告) issued by entgroup. cn (the “Entgroup Report”), the global box office revenue will increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7% from US$36.70 billion in 2014 to US$48.45 billion in 2019. In 2014, the United States whose film revenue reached US$10.3 billion, was the largest film market in the world. China became the second largest film market in the same year following the United States. Importantly, China was also the fastest growing market. In keeping with the rapid development of the economy and fast improvement of people’s living standards, China’s film industry has grown exponentially in recent decades. Both China’s film box office and film production have risen to a new level. According to China’s State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, China’s total box office reached RMB29.6 billion in 2014, representing a year-on-year increase of 36.2% which is in excess of the global CAGR. According to the Entgroup Report, China’s total box office reached RMB32.78 billion for the nine months ended 30 September 2015, which is 51% higher than the same period in 2014. According to the PwC Report, China’s box office is expected to further increase to over RMB50 billion by 2019. As the market size of the film industry grows, theatre expansion is also expected. According to the Entgroup Report, the number of screens in China was about 23,600 in 2014, with the number of new screens in the year being 5,397 or an average of 15 new screens per day. This rapid growth of theatres and screens is laying a good foundation for the fast development of the film industry.
The Directors have also considered the fact that the net asset value of the Group as at 30 June 2015 will be significantly reduced from approximately HK$0.35 per share to approximately HK$0.12 per share after taking into account the effect of VSD and Distribution. The VSD and Distribution have been completed in accordance with the Company’s announcement on 6 October 2015. After weighing up the benefits of the Subscription and taking into account the various factors as described above, the Directors consider the Subscription Price fair and reasonable.
– 25 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Directors therefore consider the Subscriptions an invaluable opportunity for the Company and is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
For the reasons stated above, the Directors (excluding the members of the Independent Board Committee who have expressed their opinion in the section titled “Letter from the Independent Board Committee” in this circular after considering the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser set out in the section titled “Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser” in this circular as to the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Huayi Brothers Subscription, the Tencent Subscription, the Other Investors’ Subscriptions and the Whitewash Waiver) consider that the terms of the Huayi Brothers Subscription, the Tencent Subscription and the Other Investors’ Subscriptions are fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Use of proceeds and future business plan
If the Closing occurs in accordance with the Subscription Agreements, the gross proceeds from the Subscriptions would amount to approximately HK$547 million. The net proceeds from the Subscriptions is estimated to be approximately HK$527 million, which is intended to be utilized by the Company to pursue opportunities in cultural and new media industries in China and overseas for the Company’s further development.
As stated in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2015, the Group’s revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2015 in respect of (i) the existing offline healthcare and wellness services business of the Group, (ii) the online healthcare services businesses and (iii) the media business was HK$53,091,000, HK$693,000 and HK$7,575,000 respectively. Furthermore, the Company has not entered into any agreement, arrangement, understanding, undertaking or negotiation (concluded or otherwise) to dispose of or downsize the existing offline healthcare and wellness services and online healthcare services businesses of the Group. The Group continues to be committed to providing mobile internet health management and chronic disease management services in China. Meanwhile, the Group will also combine its offline health service operations to provide comprehensive health management and wellness solutions for people in pursuit of good health and patients with chronic diseases in China. In connection with this, the Company intends to continue the operation of its existing offline healthcare and wellness services businesses of the Group, including the operation of Beijing Bayhood No. 9 Club, details of which are more particularly set out in the joint announcement of the Company and Eternity Investment Limited dated 15 May 2015 and the Company’s circular dated 23 June 2015. Further, the Company intends to continue the operation of its existing online healthcare services businesses, including development through its “Kangxun 360” cloud health management services platform, details of which are more particularly set out in the joint announcement of the Company and Eternity Investment Limited dated 15 May 2015 and the Company’s circular dated 23 June 2015, and will continue to assess future plans and business opportunities in this regard. Based on the above, the Company does not expect the Subscriptions will render the Group’s existing businesses becoming insignificant when comparing to the media business. In respect of the healthcare and wellness services business of the Group, the Company may from time to time consider any other appropriate
– 26 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
fund raising opportunities at the subsidiary level to further expand its business operation although the entities conducting such fund raising activities will remain subsidiaries of the Company and their financial results will continue to be consolidated into the accounts of the Group. As such, the proportion of the Group’s healthcare and wellness services business will not be significantly changed as a result of such fund raising activities. The Company believes that the value of the Company’s interest in those relevant subsidiaries shall remain significant and the investment by other investors will bring synergies to the existing operation and improve the long-term returns to the Group in this sector. The Company will comply with the applicable Listing Rules in respect of those fund raising transactions when necessary.
Based on the discussion among Huayi Brothers, Tencent and the Company, it is intended that the Company will invest in, develop and operate offline and online cultural and new media business in China and overseas. Following Closing, the Company intends to leverage on the resources and industry experiences of Huayi Brothers (being one of the leading media players in China) and Tencent (being one of the leading internet players in China), such that the Group could strategically position itself as a prominent player in offline and online cultural and new media industries, focusing mainly on viewers in the Greater China region, as well as open to international opportunities. The Company, together with, Huayi Brothers and Tencent, consider that the following elements are critical in achieving this long-term strategic objective:
(a) Strong and consistent presence in offline cultural and media-related contents production
As media contents are scarce in China and other parts of the world, the Group will need to make multiple investments in cultural and media-related contents on a rolling basis so as to continuously produce content and achieve investment returns over future years. The investment return period from production of contents to distribution/ box office and receipt of investment return typically averages approximately two years. In addition, the Group will need to build up its own intellectual property rights inventory, which is critical for its expansion into online entertainment and new media sector.
(b) Internationalized productions and distribution
Huayi Brothers is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huayi Brothers Media Corporation, a well-known integrated entertainment group in China, which is principally engaged in businesses including film, TV programs and talent management. It is intended that the Group’s media contents production will leverage on the support from Huayi Brothers and will tap into international investment opportunities, for example, in Hollywood production and Korean productions. With Huayi Brothers and Tencent’s strategic support, the Group also has prominent advantages in online and offline marketing and distribution of such internationalized production in China.

- (c) Integrated entertainment platform for online promotion, marketing, distribution and sale
Possession of its own online entertainment platform which serves the function of online promotion, marketing, distribution and content releases and sale for the Group’s own cultural and media-related content productions and other third party productions establishing a link of online-to-offline and providing synergies between the Group’s online and offline media business. This integrated online entertainment platform is essential in the long-term to the Group’s mission of becoming a prominent player in offline and online cultural and new media industries as currently approximately twothirds of the box offices receipts in China are distributed and sold through online platform.
The Group has already entered into the following legally binding agreements pursuant to which the Group is committed to invest the whole of the net proceeds of the Subscriptions of approximately HK$527 million in various film production projects which will be used within 4 months following the Closing:
-

We have relied on the information and facts supplied by the Company, and the opinions expressed by the Directors, and have assumed that the information and facts provided and opinions expressed to us are true, accurate and complete in all material aspects as at the Latest Practicable Date. We have further assumed that all representations contained or referred to in the Circular are true, accurate and complete as at the Latest Practicable Date. Independent Shareholders will be informed as soon as practicable if we become aware of any material change to such information. We have also sought and received confirmation from the Directors that no material facts have been omitted from the information supplied and opinions expressed to us. We consider that the information we have received is sufficient for us to reach our opinion and give the advice and recommendation set out in this letter. We have no reason to believe that any material information has been omitted or withheld, or doubt the truth or accuracy of the information provided. We have, however, not conducted any independent investigation into the business and affairs of the Group, the Investors or any of their respective associates or any party acting, or presumed to be acting, in concert with any of them, nor have we carried out any independent verification of the information supplied.
PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED
In considering (1) whether the Whitewash Waiver and the terms of the Subscription Agreements are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; and (2) whether the Subscriptions and the Whitewash Waiver are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, we have taken into account the principal factors and reasons set out below:
BACKGROUND TO AND REASONS FOR THE SUBSCRIPTIONS
The Group is principally engaged in (i) media business; (ii) provision of online healthcare service; and (iii) provision of offline healthcare and wellness services. The Group’s media business involves (a) investments in, and licensing of, films and TV dramas in the PRC and overseas; (b) investments in the joint venture company operating Travel Channel, a provincial satellite television channel of Hainan province, the PRC; and (c) programs and film production. The Group’s online healthcare services relate to the operation of the Group’s product, “Kangxun 360” mobile portal, a professional health management software, in conjunction with one of the largest smart cloud health management service platforms for chronic diseases in the PRC. The Group’s offline healthcare and wellness services mainly relate to the operation of “Beijing Bayhood No.9 Club”, being membership-based club facilities in Beijing. This club was one of the major assets of the group involved in the VSD, further details of which are set out in the VSD Circular and in this letter below.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
For the six months ended 30 June 2015, the Group’s sales from continuing operations amounted to approximately HK$61.4 million, representing an increase of approximately 13.5% as compared to the restated figures for the same period in 2014. As set out in the Company’s 2015 interim report, the Group has three reportable segments from continuing operations, namely (i) online healthcare service; (ii) offline healthcare and wellness services; and (iii) media. For the six months ended 30 June 2015, the online healthcare service segment recorded sales of only HK$693,000 (2014: nil). We are advised by the executive Directors that this business is still in its development stage. It only started generating revenue in first half of 2015 and incurred a loss. Further expertise and cash investments are required to support the long-term sustainable development of this business. This segment operates in a relatively new market as compared to the Group’s two other business segments and therefore is subject to uncertainties from a financial and market perspective. The sales generated from the Group’s offline healthcare and wellness services segment was approximately HK$53.1 million (2014: approximately HK$51.6 million), a slight increase of approximately 2.9% as compared to 2014. For the six months ended 30 June 2015, the Group’s sales from media segment increased by more than 200% to approximately HK$7.6 million (2014: approximately HK$2.5 million). As set out in the Company’s 2015 interim report, the Group continued to increase its investment in film-related projects with plans to seek additional quality
projects.
As advised by the executive Directors, the Group has been engaged in the media and entertainment business since 2005. Currently the Group’s media business is operated through (i) licensing of films and TV drama in the PRC and overseas by its subsidiaries; (ii) the operation of Travel Channel (a provincial satellite television channel of Hainan province, the PRC) operated by its joint venture company; and (iii) programs and film production by the Company’s subsidiary and joint venture. As set out in the Company’s 2014 annual report, the Group increased its investment in programs and film production to approximately HK$68 million as at 31 December 2014. As advised by the executive Directors, such investment was increased to approximately HK$76 million as at 30 June 2015. In view of (a) the PRC governmental support of the PRC film industry as set out in ‘‘關於支持電影發展若干經濟政策的通知’’ (‘‘The Notice of the Ministry of Finance, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Land and Resources, and Other Departments on Several Economic Policies for Supporting the Development of Films’’) issued on 31 May 2014, which promoted Chinese film industry development in five aspects, namely, financial subsidies, tax incentives, financial support, land policies and implementation by and coordination among various administrations; and (b) the general increase in living standards and spending power of the population in the PRC, the executive Directors are of the view that the media and entertainment industry will be one of the fastest growing and well-developed consumer industries in the PRC. Taking these into account, as well as other factors including, (i) the high-growth online healthcare services requires additional expertise and cash investments and is not without risk as described above; and (ii) the operation of “Beijing Bayhood No.9 Club” is stable but has limited expansion opportunities, the executive Directors consider that it would be in the interests of the Group to establish a strategic cooperation with substantial and reputable partners who could assist the Group to secure further develop business opportunities in cultural and new media businesses in the PRC and overseas.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
The Concert Group, being Huayi Brothers, Tencent and parties acting in concert with them, will in aggregate be interested in approximately 33.85% of the Enlarged Share Capital upon Closing.

As set out in the ‘‘Letter from the Board’’ contained in the Circular, Huayi Brothers Media Corporation is a leading PRC producer and distributor of original film and TV content and is principally engaged in the sectors of films, TV shows, talent management, games, music, cinema, entertainment market, live entertainment and new media. According to Huayi Brothers Media Corporation’s 2014 annual report, it recorded audited consolidated revenue and net profit attributable to shareholders of approximately RMB2,389.0 million and RMB896.7 million respectively. It is set out in Huayi Brothers Media Corporation’s 2015 third quarterly report that as at 30 September 2015, its unaudited consolidated total assets and equity attributable to shareholders amounted to approximately RMB14,078.2 million and RMB9,245.7 million, respectively. Huayi Brothers Media Corporation has created numerous high profile films and received awards at domestic and international film festivals.
Tencent is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tencent Holdings Limited, which is a leading provider of Internet services in China whose shares are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange (stock code: 700). Tencent Holdings Limited’s diversified services include QQ, Weixin and WeChat for communications; Qzone for social networking; QQ Game Platform for online games; QQ.com and Tencent News for information and Tencent Video for video content.

Further details regarding the Investors are set out in the ‘‘Letter from the Board’’ contained in the Circular.
The executive Directors consider that Huayi Brothers and Tencent are highly suitable strategic partners for the Group. By introducing them as the Company’s major shareholders, the Subscriptions will enable the Group to establish a strategic alliance with Huayi Brothers and Tencent, and leverage on their resources as leading PRC media and Internet players to develop business opportunities in offline and online cultural and new media business in the PRC and overseas. It is intended that the Group’s media content investments/production will, with the support of Huayi Brothers, be able to tap into international investment opportunities, for example, in Hollywood and Korean productions. As set out in the sub-section headed “Use of proceeds and future business plan” in the “Letter from the Board” as contained in the Circular, the Group has already entered into related film production agreements including one with a film producer in the United States. These agreements will only become effective upon completion of the Subscriptions, without which they would not be available to the Company through Huayi Brothers. Accordingly, the executive Directors consider that the Subscriptions allow the Group to grasp such business opportunities and tap into business connections with international movie producers/investors. Considering this and other long term benefits of a strategic partnership with Huayi Brothers and Tencent, the executive Directors consider that it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to proceed with the Subscriptions by entering into the Subscription Agreements.
– 39 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
We agree with the executive Directors’ view that the Subscriptions will allow the Group to grasp business opportunities and connections to further develop its media business, and that the existing strength of the Group in the media business can be increased and complemented by the business network, industry experience and resources of Huayi Brothers and Tencent.

3. Financial information and prospects of the Group
(a) Financial information of the Group
Revenue from different segments of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2014 and 2015 are set out below:
| For the six months | ended 30 June | |
|---|---|---|
| 2015 | 2014 | |
| (Unaudited) | (Unaudited) | |
| (Restated) | ||
| (Note) | ||
| HK$’000 | HK$’000 | |
| Continuing operations | ||
| Online healthcare service | 693 | – |
| Offline healthcare and wellness services | 53,091 | 51,576 |
| Media | 7,575 | 2,469 |
| Total revenue from continuing operations | 61,359 | 54,045 |
Note:
The operation of a project to be disposed within 12 months from 30 June 2015 as part of the VSD has been treated as a separate line of business. Consequently, it is accounted for as discontinued operation for the six months ended 30 June 2015. The comparative financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2014 has been reclassified to conform with the presentation for the six months ended 30 June 2015. Further details are set out in the Company’s 2015 interim report.
The Group’s revenue was mainly generated from the offline healthcare and wellness services segment, which contributed approximately 86.5% and 95.4% of the Group’s revenue from continuing operations for the six months ended 30 June 2015 and 2014 respectively. Income generated from media segment increased by approximately 206.8% from the first half of 2014 to the first half of 2015, and accounted for approximately 12.3% and 4.6% of the Group’s revenue from continuing operations for the six months ended 30 June 2015 and 2014 respectively.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
The Group recorded profit attributable to equity holders of the Company from continuing operations of approximately HK$26.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2015, representing a decrease of approximately 72.5% as compared to the restated figures for the six months ended 30 June 2014. The decrease was mainly due to a number of factors. These include (i) legal and professional fees of approximately HK$54 million incurred for the VSD; (ii) the impairment provision made for some of the Group’s prepayments, interest in a joint venture and amount due from a subsidiary of a joint venture of approximately HK$79 million (of which provision for impairment of interest in a joint venture operating Travel Channel amounted to approximately HK$47 million); and (iii) gain on disposal of joint ventures and reversals of payables with aggregate amount of approximately HK$62.5 million for the six months ended 30 June 2014 which were not recorded for the six months ended 30 June 2015. These factors were partially offset by realised gain on financial assets at fair value through profit and loss for the six months ended 30 June 2015.
As set out in the VSD Circular in relation to, among other things, the VSD and the Distribution, Smart Title Limited (being the target company of the VSD) and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the provision of recreational and wellness services through the management of “Beijing Bayhood No. 9 Club”. The completion of the VSD and the Distribution took place in October 2015. The Group will continue to operate “Beijing Bayhood No. 9 Club” after completion of the VSD through a leasing agreement (the “Leasing Agreement”) with a term of twenty years (which can be further extended to 31 December 2051 upon request by the Group). Further details of the VSD, the Leasing Agreement and the Distribution are set out in the VSD Circular. As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 6 October 2015, the Board estimated that a loss on disposal before taxation of approximately HK$220 million would be recognised upon completion of the VSD. The executive Directors estimated that the net asset value of the Group as at 30 June 2015 would be significantly reduced from approximately HK$0.35 per Share to approximately HK$0.12 per Share (the ‘‘Proforma NAV per Share’’) after taking into account the effect of the VSD and the Distribution.
As set out in the Company’s 2015 interim report, the Group had consolidated total assets of approximately HK$3,083.6 million as at 30 June 2015, whilst assets of the disposal group classified as held for sale amounted to approximately HK$2,268.3 million as at 30 June 2015. The Group’s consolidated total liabilities amounted to approximately HK$753.4 million, whilst liabilities of the disposal group classified as held for sale amounted to approximately HK$649.4 million.
Further details in respect of the Group’s historical financial information are set out in Appendix I to the Circular. However, following completion of the VSD and the Distribution, the published historical financial statements of the Group are, in our opinion, of limited relevance to the Shareholders, who should concentrate on the position and prospects of the Group as reduced in size by the VSD and the Distribution.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
(b) Prospects of the Group
As set out in the sub-section headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Subscriptions” in the “Letter from the Board” to the Circular, the Group’s media business is undergoing rapid development with more than 200% growth in sales for the six months ended 30 June 2015 and the Group will continue to invest in film-related projects in order to generate better returns for the Group. Based on available market data, the executive Directors consider that there likely to be ongoing significant expansion in the media and entertainment market in particular, the film industry. Further details with respect to selected film industry data is set out in the aforesaid sub-section. According to the market statistics issued by EntGroup, the accumulated box office in the PRC reached approximately RMB29.4 billion in 2014. For the year ended 31 December 2015, the accumulated box office in the PRC reached approximately RMB43.9 billion, representing approximately 23-times the total box office in the PRC in 2005. According to its official website, EntGroup focuses on the Chinese film industry, the Chinese manga and animation industry, offers box office data, provides customized research, consulting and event services mainly to local and overseas clients in media, entertainment and advertising industry, conducts moviegoer surveys, and also establishes online platform for entertainment industry at www.entgroup.cn . We note from the prospectus of IMAX China Holding, Inc. (stock code: 1970) dated 24 September 2015 that IMAX China Holding, Inc. commissioned EntGroup Century International Information and Consulting (Beijing) Co. Ltd. to produce an industry report on the film industry in the PRC. The approximate accumulated box office in the PRC is illustrated in the chart below (data sourced from EntGroup):

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
In view of the industry growth, coupled with PRC governmental support of the PRC film industry and general increase in living standards and spending power of the population in the PRC as set out in this letter above, the executive Directors are of the view that the prospect of the Group’s media business is positive.
The executive Directors consider that there is growing demand among Chinese citizens for health management services, with an aging population and a growing incidence rate of chronic diseases in China. However, as set out in this letter above, the Group’s online health management service business is still in its development stage and is subject to uncertainties in its path of development. Further cash investments and expertise will also be required to support its long-term sustainable growth. On the other hand, the operation and financial performance of “Beijing Bayhood No.9 Club”, being the major part in the Group’s offline healthcare and wellness services, is more stable, but has limited expansion opportunities. Further details regarding the Group’s future business plan are set out in the sub-section headed “Use of proceeds and future business plan” in the “Letter from the Board” contained in the Circular.
4. Analysis of the historical price performance of the Shares
- (a) Comparison of the Subscription Price to market price
The Company announced the VSD and the Distribution (distribution of (i) HK$500 million in cash and (ii) 1,500,000,000 shares in Eternity Investment) on 15 May 2015. Both the VSD and the Distribution have been completed in October 2015. The ex-entitlement date in respect of the Distribution was 25 September 2015. The Shares were traded on “cumDistribution” basis during the period between the announcement of the Distribution and up to 24 September 2015. Since the Subscription Shares are being issued “ex-Distribution”, for the purposes of comparing “like with like”, we have compared the Subscription Price with the prices of the Shares on an “ex-Distribution” basis for the period from 15 May 2015 and up to the Last Trading Day. As set out in the sub-section headed “The Subscription Price” under the section headed “The Subscription Agreements” in the “Letter from the Board” contained in the Circular, based on the closing share price of Eternity Investment on the Last Trading Day of HK$0.99 per share, the pro forma value of Distribution per Share is approximately HK$0.30 per Share. On this basis, the Subscription Price represents:
-
(i) a discount of approximately 86.21% to the theoretical ex-entitlement closing price (after excluding the pro forma value of Distribution per Share) of HK$0.58 on the Last Trading Day;
-
(ii) a discount of approximately 87.69% to the average of the theoretical exentitlement closing prices (after excluding the pro forma value of Distribution per Share) of approximately HK$0.65 for the last five trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day; and
– 47 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
- (iii) a discount of approximately 87.88% to the average of the theoretical exentitlement closing prices (after excluding the pro forma value of Distribution per Share) of approximately HK$0.66 for the last ten trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day.
These discounts are, in our view, substantial but within the range (although close to the high end of discount range and less favourable than the mean of the range of discounts) for comparable issues as set out in the sub-section headed “Comparable issues” of this letter below.
(b) Value premium
We have compared the closing market capitalisation of the Company on (i) the Last Trading Day; and (ii) the Latest Practicable Date, as follows:
| HK$’million | ||
|---|---|---|
| (approximate) | ||
| Closing market capitalisation of the Company on | 3,863.1 | A |
| the Last Trading Day | (Note 1) | |
| Closing market capitalisation of the Company on | 6,127.6 | B |
| the Latest Practicable Date | (Note 2) | |
| Value Premium | 2,264.5 | C=B-A |
| Percentage increase | (58.6%) |
Notes:
-
(1) During the period from the Last Trading Day to the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 68,082,706 Shares were issued (37,500,000 Shares in June, 24,497,788 Shares in August, and 6,084,918 Shares in December 2015 respectively). For comparative purposes, the closing market capitalisation of the Company on the Last Trading Day is calculated by multiplying (a) 6,660,486,717 Shares (being the number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date), and (b) the theoretical ex-Distribution closing Share price of HK$0.58 on the Last Trading Day.
-
(2) Source from Bloomberg
As shown in the table above, the closing market capitalisation of the Company on the Latest Practicable Date is approximately HK$6,127.6 million, representing a premium of approximately HK$2,264.5 million (or approximately 58.6%) over the closing market capitalisation of the Company on the Last Trading Day on an “ex-Distribution” basis. During the period from the Last Trading Day to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company published several announcements in relation to, among other things, the proposed Subscriptions (including the Rule 3.7 Announcement, the Update Announcements and the Announcement), the VSD and the Distribution. Further details of the historical trading prices of the Shares are set out in paragraph (c) below.
– 48 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
The Value Premium represented an increase in value of the Company, as a result of increase in the Share prices, after publication of the aforesaid announcements as set out in paragraph (c) below, but without any other material change in the fundamentals of the Company, apart from the decrease in net profit of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2015, which would normally be expected to have a negative effect on the Share price. As discussed in this letter above, both the VSD and the Distribution were completed in October 2015. We also note that the closing Hang Seng Index decreased by approximately 27.5% from the Last Trading Day to the Latest Practicable Date. Therefore, we consider it appropriate to assume that the change in the Company’s market value during the above period is primarily due to the announcement of the Subscriptions. This suggests a positive market reaction to the announcement of the Subscriptions, and quantifies the perceived valuation of the Company by the market after considering the terms of the Subscriptions (including the Subscription Price) and the benefits accruing to the Group from the Subscriptions. There is no assurance that the closing Share price will remain at recent high levels or that the Value Premium can be maintained if the Subscriptions do not proceed or cannot be completed for any reason.
(c) Share price performance
The chart below illustrates the daily closing price per Share for the period from 1 January 2014 up to and including the Latest Practicable Date (the “Review Period”).

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
The closing Share price fluctuated between HK$0.365 per Share and HK$0.78 per Share from 1 January 2014 up to 11 December 2014, with a closing Share price on that date of HK$0.70 per Share. Trading in the Shares was suspended starting from 12 December 2014 pending the release of the announcement relating to the VSD. On 15 May 2015, after trading hours, the Company published announcements relating to, among other things, the VSD and the Distribution. Trading in the Shares resumed on the following trading day (18 May 2015) and the Shares closed at HK$1.14 per Share, representing an increase of approximately 62.9% compared to the closing Share price before suspension. The closing price subsequently eased from HK$1.14 per Share on 18 May 2015 to HK$0.88 per Share on 29 May 2015 (i.e. the Last Trading Day), after which trading in the Shares was suspended.
The Company published a number of announcements, including, among other things, the Rule 3.7 Announcement, the Update Announcements and the Announcement, in relation to the proposed Subscriptions from 24 June 2015 onwards. As set out in the chart above, closing Share price increased significantly after the publication of the Rule 3.7 Announcement (i.e. when the market became aware of the proposed Subscriptions), with a closing price of HK$1.64 per Share on 24 June 2015, which represented an increase of approximately 86.4% over the closing Share price on the Last Trading Day. Trading of the Shares was suspended again on 8 July 2015. The Company subsequently published several announcements in relation to, among other things, the VSD and the proposed Subscriptions. On 14 September 2015, the Company published (a) an announcement relating to the expected timetable and closure of register of members in respect of the Distribution; and (b) an Update Announcement in relation to, among other things, a decision letter from the Stock Exchange on 10 September 2015 to the effect that the Company would become a cash company under Rule 14.82 of the Listing Rules upon completion of the proposed subscriptions. Trading in the Shares resumed on 15 September 2015 and the closing Share price decreased by approximately 35.7% on this news, suggesting an adverse market reaction. Closing Share prices fluctuated between HK$0.60 per Share and HK$1.56 per Share from 16 September 2015 to 10 December 2015. The Company published the Announcement after trading hours on 10 December 2015.
The Shares closed at a price of HK$0.92 per Share as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 91.3% to the closing price of the Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
5. Comparable issues
As set out in the section headed ‘‘Introduction’’ of the Announcement and the sub-section headed “Principal terms of the Subscription Agreements” above of this letter, the Subscription Shares represented approximately 102.75% of the number of issued Shares as at the date of the Announcement and approximately 102.66% as at the Latest Practicable Date. We have searched the website of the Stock Exchange on a best efforts basis to identify all share issues (the “Comparable Issues”) announced since 1 January 2015 and up to the date immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date by companies listed on the Stock Exchange involving (a) subscription of new shares of the listed companies by subscribers with cash (where the shares were to be listed on the Stock Exchange); (b) the application of whitewash waivers by the subscribers where such whitewash waivers have been approved by independent shareholders; and (iii) increase of the issued share capital by over 100% upon completion of the share subscription. We have excluded subscriptions (i) announced by listed companies which, as at the date of announcement and/or currently, were/ are under prolonged suspension; (ii) involving only convertible securities; and (iii) transactions involving open offers or rights issues of new shares, where different pricing considerations apply.
It should be noted that the subject companies involved in the Comparable Issues may have different principal activities, market capitalisations, profitability and financial positions as compared with those of the Company. The circumstances leading to the subject companies to proceed with the subscriptions may also be different from those relating to the Company. Accordingly, the Comparable Issues are set out for the Independent Shareholders’ information only and do not form a material basis for us to assess the fairness of the Subscription Price.
The Comparable Issues represent an exhaustive list of subscriptions meeting the criteria set out above. The table below illustrates the details of the Comparable Issues:

2. 21 Holdings published an announcement in relation to a possible subscription of new shares involving a possible application of whitewash waiver after trading hours on 13 April 2015. Accordingly, we have taken 1 April 2015 (i.e. the last day of trading immediately prior to the aforesaid announcement) as the last trading day for our assessment, including calculation of the average closing share prices of different periods prior to and including 1 April 2015.
3. REORIENT published an announcement in relation to a possible subscription by potential investor of new securities in REORIENT after trading hours on 24 March 2015. Accordingly, we have taken 12 March 2015 (i.e. the last day of trading immediately prior to the aforesaid announcement) as the last trading day for our assessment, including calculation of the average closing share prices of different periods prior to and including 12 March 2015.
4. As stated in the announcement of World Wide dated 4 June 2015, the subscription price of HK$0.18 per share was determined on or about the date of signing the memorandum of understanding dated 14 April 2015. Trading in the shares of World Wide was halted with effect from 9:00 a.m. on 14 April 2015 pending the release of an announcement in relation to the aforesaid memorandum of understanding. Accordingly, we have taken 13 April 2015 (i.e. the last day of trading immediately prior to 14 April 2015) as the last trading day for our assessment, including calculation of the average closing share prices of different periods prior to and including 13 April 2015.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
5. Simsen International Corporation Limited (“Simsen”) (stock code: 993) published an announcement dated 7 October 2014 in relation to, among other things, entering into of a memorandum of understanding between Simsen and a potential investor for possible subscription of shares of Simsen. Following that, an announcement was made by Simsen dated 23 March 2015 in relation to, among other things, (i) the subscription of new shares of Simsen; (ii) application for whitewash waiver; and (iii) distribution in specie of a subsidiary of Simsen. The above subscription would in theory have met our selection criteria for Comparable Issues as set out above. However, as set out in Appendix I to the Simsen’s circular dated 30 June 2015, the theoretical downward effect of the distribution in specie (item iii above) on the share price could not be quantified beforehand and would be impacted by different factors. Accordingly, we have excluded Simsen from our analysis.
The 9 Comparable Issues set out in the table above have involved subscriptions of new shares at discounts to their respective historical trading prices. As set out in the table above, the Subscription Price represents (a) a discount of approximately 86.2% to the closing Share price on “ex-Distribution” basis on the Last Trading Day; (b) a discount of approximately 87.7% to the average closing price on “ex-Distribution” basis for the 5 trading days immediately prior to and including the Last Trading Day; and (c) a discount of approximately 87.9% to the average closing price on “ex-Distribution” basis for the 10 trading days immediately prior to and including the Last Trading Day. These discounts are:
-
(1) within the range of discounts, although close to the high end of discount range, of the Comparable Issues for the closing share price as at the last trading day immediately prior to the announcement, as well as the average closing share price for each of the 5 and 10 trading days; and
-
(2) less favourable than the mean of the range of discounts of the Comparable Issues for the closing share price as at the last trading day immediately prior to the announcement, as well as the average closing share price for each of the 5 and 10 trading days.
6. Discussion on the Subscription Price
During the course of our analysis, we could not identify any companies listed on mainboard of the Stock Exchange with principal activities similar to the specific mix of businesses of the Group as described above. Accordingly, we have not carried out a comparison between the Company and other similar Hong Kong listed companies. Instead, our analysis in this respect includes comparing the Subscription Price and the price of the Shares after the Subscriptions were announced against historical price performance of the Shares as set out in the sub-section headed “Analysis of the historical price performance of the Shares” above (including the Value Premium under paragraph (b)), and our view on the Subscription Price is formed after taking into consideration a number of factors as summarised below (in particular, the background and expertise of Huayi Brothers and Tencent, and the benefits of the Subscriptions as set out in the section above headed “Background to and reasons for the Subscriptions”).
– 54 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
The Subscription Price is considerably below the closing prices and average closing prices of the Shares on an “ex-Distribution” basis prior to the Last Trading Day. The Subscription Price also represents a discount of approximately 33.3% to the Proforma NAV per Share of approximately HK$0.12. Nevertheless, we consider that the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable to the Independent Shareholders based on a number of qualitative and quantitative factors, as follows:
-
(1) the Subscriptions enable the Company to build on the increase in revenue from media business segment of the Group during the first half of 2015 and to establish a strategic cooperation with substantial and reputable partners;
-
(2) the strong and relevant industry expertise and resources of Huayi Brothers and Tencent, which will benefit the Group’s long term development and bring additional investment opportunities to the Company and allow the Group to tap into business connections with international movie producers/investors. Further details are set out in the section above headed “Background to and reasons for the Subscriptions”;
-
(3) the Value Premium (as a result of positive response to the Subscriptions by the market after considering the terms of the Subscriptions including the Subscription Price) of approximately HK$2.3 billion (approximately 58.6%) (being the increase in value of the Company between (i) the closing market capitalisation of the Company on the Last Trading Day on a theoretical ‘‘ex-Distribution’’ basis; and (ii) the closing market capitalisation of the Company on the Latest Practicable Date), which benefits all Shareholders; as contrasted with:
-
(4) the adverse market reaction to the risk that the Subscriptions might not proceed as reflected in a drop in Share price which occurred following the announcement of the decision letter from the Stock Exchange to the effect that the Company would become a cash company as discussed in the sub-section headed “Analysis of the historical price performance of the Shares” of this letter above.
7. Use of proceeds and future business plan
As set out in the sub-section headed “Use of proceeds and future business plan” in the “Letter from the Board” contained in the Circular, the gross proceeds from the Subscriptions would amount to approximately HK$547 million and net proceeds are estimated to be approximately HK$527 million. The Group has already entered into legally binding agreements pursuant to which the Group is committed to invest the whole of the net proceeds of the Subscriptions in the following film production projects:
– 55 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
-
a film production cooperation agreement and a supplemental film cooperation agreement with a film producer in the United States, pursuant to which the Group has agreed to invest in 10 film projects produced and distributed by the film producer. Total investment amount committed by the Group amounts to RMB305 million (equivalent to approximately HK$369 million). Such agreements shall become effective upon completion of the Subscriptions; and
-
a film cooperation agreement with an animation film production house, pursuant to which the Group has agreed to invest in a series of three animation films. The Group has agreed to pay USD24 million (equivalent to approximately HK$187 million) for the investment in the first animation film and as prepayments for the second and the third animation film. The Group may further invest USD4.5 million in each of the next two series subject to the entering into of separate cooperation agreements.
Further details regarding the above agreements and use of proceeds are set out in the subsection headed “Use of proceeds and future business plan” in the “Letter from the Board” contained in the Circular.
The Company has not entered into any agreement, arrangement, understanding, undertaking or negotiation (concluded or otherwise) to dispose of or downsize the existing offline healthcare and wellness services and online healthcare services businesses of the Group.
8. Financial effects of the Subscriptions
On the basis set out in the sub-section headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Subscriptions” in the “Letter from the Board” of the Circular, the net asset value of the Group attributable to equity holders of the Company as at 30 June 2015 would be significantly reduced from approximately HK$0.35 per share to the Proforma NAV per Share of approximately HK$0.12. The VSD was completed in October 2015. The Subscription Price of HK$0.08 represents a discount of approximately 33.3% to the Proforma NAV per Share. Upon Closing, 6,837,619,860 new Subscription Shares will be issued by the Company for cash. Accordingly, the executive Directors expect the net asset value of the Group to increase by approximately the same amount as the net proceeds from the Subscriptions, while the Proforma NAV per Share will decline. The table below sets out, for illustration purpose, such effect on the Group’s net asset value per Share:

| Net asset value of the Group immediately after Closing (approximately | Approximately |
| HK$1,342 million divided by 13,467,523,860 Shares) | HK$0.10 |
| per Share |
As illustrated above, the net asset value per Share of approximately HK$0.10 immediately after Closing represents a decrease of approximately 17% as compared to the Proforma NAV per Share of approximately HK$0.12. However, we consider that the Company will be valued in the future primarily by reference to the plans to commit the new funds raised as set out above and net assets per Share will not be of critical significance. Consequently, we consider the decrease is acceptable in light of the benefits of the Subscriptions as a whole as set out in this letter.
9. Whitewash Waiver – dilution effects on shareholding
The following table summarises the effect of the Subscriptions on the shareholding structure of the Company (a) as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (b) at Closing assuming there is no change to the share capital of the Company other than the issue of the Subscription Shares. Further details on (i) the effect of the Subscriptions on the shareholding structure; and (ii) the accompanying note to the shareholding table are set out in the sub-section headed “Effect on shareholding structure of the Company” in the “Letter from the Board” contained in the Circular.

As illustrated above, the shareholding of the existing public Shareholders would be reduced from approximately 67.06% as at the Latest Practicable Date to approximately 33.09% at Closing.
There will be substantial dilution to the shareholding interest of the existing public Shareholders as a result of the Subscriptions. However, having taken into account (i) the benefits to be derived by the Group from the Subscriptions as set out in the section above headed “Background to and reasons for the Subscriptions”; (ii) that the Subscription Price is considered to be fair and reasonable as set out in this letter above; and (iii) the increase in the value of the Company (i.e. Value Premium) as a result of increase in Share prices as discussed in the sub-section headed “Analysis of the historical price performance of the Shares” above which benefits all Shareholders, we consider that the dilution effect to the shareholding interest of the existing public Shareholders as a result of the Subscriptions is acceptable.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
10. Whitewash Waiver – Takeovers Code provisions
As set out in the section headed “Application for Whitewash Waiver” in the “Letter from the Board” contained in the Circular, immediately after Closing, the Concert Group will in aggregate be interested in approximately 33.85% of the Enlarged Issued Share Capital as at Closing.
Pursuant to Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code, the acquisition of voting rights under such circumstances will trigger an obligation to make a mandatory general offer by the Concert Group for all the issued Shares and other securities of the Company other than those already owned (or agreed to be acquired) by it and parties acting in concert with it, unless the Whitewash Waiver is obtained from the Executive. An application to the Executive for the Whitewash Waiver in respect of the allotment and issue of the Huayi Brothers Subscription Shares and Tencent Subscription Shares has been made by the Concert Group. The Executive has indicated that it will grant the Whitewash Waiver subject to, among other things, the approval of the Independent Shareholders on a vote by way of poll at the EGM.
Shareholders should note that the Subscriptions are subject to the fulfilment or waiver (as the case may be) of a number of conditions precedent as set out in the sub-section headed “Conditions of the Subscriptions” in the “Letter from the Board” contained in the Circular, including the granting by the Executive of the Whitewash Waiver and the approval by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM of the Whitewash Waiver, which cannot be waived. Consequently, the Subscriptions may or may not proceed.
Having taken into consideration (i) the benefits to be derived by the Group from the Subscriptions as set out in the section headed “Background to and reasons for the Subscriptions” above of this letter; (ii) that the Subscription Price is considered to be fair and reasonable as set out in this letter above; and (iii) the Value Premium (as a result of positive response to the Subscriptions by the market after considering the terms of the Subscriptions including the Subscription Price) which benefits all Shareholders, we are of the view that the Whitewash Waiver (the granting of which is one of the conditions of the Subscriptions) is fair and reasonable, and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The Group completed the VSD and the Distribution in October 2015, too late for the full effects be reflected in the Group’s 2015 interim results. Therefore, the published historical financial statements of the Group are, in our opinion, of limited relevance to the Shareholders, who should concentrate on the position and prospects of the Group as reduced in size by the VSD and the Distribution. As set out in the section headed “Background to and reasons for the Subscriptions” above, the online healthcare service business will require additional expertise and cash investments, and is not without risk, and the operation of “Beijing Bayhood No.9 Club” is stable but has limited expansion opportunities. In these circumstances, in our opinion, the Group would benefit from greater financial resources and access to relevant industry expertise, in particular, for further development of the Group’s existing media business which is considered by the executive Directors to be one of the fastest growing and well-developed consumer industries in the PRC. The Subscriptions would allow the Group to establish a strategic alliance with Huayi Brothers and Tencent, and leverage on their resources as leading PRC media and Internet players to develop business opportunities in offline and online cultural and new media business in the PRC and overseas. We agree with the executive Directors’ view that the existing strength of the Group in the media business can be increased and complemented by the business network, industry experience and resources of Huayi Brothers and Tencent.
As set out in the sub-section above headed “Analysis of the historical price performance of the Shares”, the Subscription Price represents discounts in a range from approximately 86.21% to approximately 87.88% to the theoretical ex-entitlement closing Share prices under various parameters on or before the Last Trading Day. The Shares closed at a price of HK$0.92 per Share as at the Latest Practicable Date, to which the Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 91.3%. The Subscription Price is low compared to the theoretical ex-entitlement Share prices and below the Proforma NAV per Share of approximately HK$0.12, but the Subscriptions have nevertheless, in our opinion, brought about a substantial Value Premium of approximately HK$2,264.5 million (representing approximately 58.6% of the closing market capitalisation of the Company on the Last Trading Day as set out above). This Value Premium is likely to be related to market expectations of the benefits that will be brought to the Group as a result of the Subscriptions and suggest a positive market reaction. There is no assurance that the closing Share price will remain at recent levels or that the Value Premium can be maintained if the Subscriptions do not proceed or cannot be completed for any reason.
– 60 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
Our analysis of the Subscription Price is set out in the sub-section above headed “Discussion on the Subscription Price”. Based on the qualitative and quantitative factors set out in that subsection, including (a) the opportunity to build on the increase in revenue from the Group’s media segment for the first half of 2015 and to establish a strategic cooperation with substantial and reputable partners; (b) the strong and relevant industry expertise and resources of Huayi Brothers and Tencent, which will benefit the Group’s long term development and bring additional investment opportunities to the Company and allow the Group to tap into business connections with international movie producers/investors; and (c) the Value Premium of approximately HK$2.3 billion (or approximately 58.6%) as a result of positive response to the Subscriptions by the market after considering the terms of the Subscriptions including the Subscription Price, which benefits all Shareholders as discussed above, we consider that the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable. Further details are set out in the sub-section above headed “Discussion on the Subscription Price”.
As stipulated under the Subscription Agreements, the Investors will subscribe for approximately 6.8 billion new Shares. Mr. Yuen, Huayi Brothers and Tencent are “locked-up” for 18 months from the Closing Date. The net proceeds from the Subscriptions are estimated to be approximately HK$527 million and will be used for investment in various film production projects. As set out in the sub-section headed “Use of proceeds and future business plan” in the “Letter from the Board” contained in the Circular, the Group has already entered into various legally binding film cooperation agreements. These agreements will only become effective upon completion of the Subscriptions, without which they would not be available to the Company through Huayi Brothers.
The dilution to the shareholding interest of the existing public Shareholders from approximately 67.06% as at the Latest Practicable Date to approximately 33.09% immediately after Closing is substantial. However, in view of (i) the benefits to be derived by the Group from the Subscriptions; (ii) the Subscription Price being considered to be fair and reasonable as discussed above; and (iii) the increase in the value of the Company (i.e. Value Premium) which benefits all Shareholders, we consider that the dilution effect is acceptable.
The Concert Group has applied for the Whitewash Waiver, which is a condition of the Subscriptions being completed, and which because of the benefits set out above we consider fair and reasonable.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
OPINION AND RECOMMENDATION
Having taken into account the above principal factors and reasons which are summarised in the section above headed “Discussion and analysis” of this letter, we consider that (1) the Whitewash Waiver and the terms of the Subscription Agreements are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; and (2) the Subscriptions and the Whitewash Waiver are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Accordingly, we advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend, and we ourselves recommend, the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Subscriptions and the Whitewash Waiver.
Yours faithfully, for and on behalf of SOMERLEY CAPITAL LIMITED M. N. Sabine Chairman

(c) Material Litigation
As at the Latest Practicable Date, no member of the Group was engaged in any litigation or arbitration or claims which would materially and adversely affect the operations of the Company and no litigation, arbitration or claim which would materially and adversely affect the operations of the Company is known to the Directors to be pending or threatened by or against any member of the Group.
(d) Material Change
Save as disclosed below, the Directors confirm that there has been no material change in the financial or trading position or outlook of the Group since 31 December 2014, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were made up, up to and including the Latest Practicable Date.
(1) Decrease in unaudited consolidated profit attributable to equity holders of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2015
As disclosed in the Company’s interim report for the six months ended 30 June 2015 (the “Interim Report”), the Group recorded profit attributable to equity holders of the Company from continuing operations of approximately HK$26.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2015, representing a decrease of approximately 72.5% as compared to the restated figures for the six months ended 30 June 2014. The decrease in profit was mainly attributable to a number of factors, including (i) legal and professional fees of approximately HK$54 million incurred for the VSD (also as disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 6 August 2015); and (ii) the impairment provision made for some of the Group’s prepayments, interest in a joint venture and amount due from a subsidiary of a joint venture of approximately HK$79 million (of which provision for impairment of interest in a joint venture operating Travel Channel amounted to approximately HK$47 million). These factors were partially offset by realised gain on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss for the six months ended 30 June 2015 (which included a net gain of approximately HK$169 million as set out in the Company’s announcement dated 18 June 2015). Further details are set out in the Interim Report and the aforesaid announcements.

(2) Capital and operating lease commitments
As set out in the paragraph headed “Indebtedness Statement” below, the Group had operating lease commitments (as lessees) of approximately HK$226 million and capital commitments of approximately HK$5 million as at 30 November 2015 as compared to approximately HK$1,058 million and approximately HK$95 million respectively as at 31 December 2014. The decrease in the aforesaid commitments was mainly as a result of the disposal of the target company in the VSD. Further details regarding the VSD are set out in the Company’s circular dated 23 June 2015 (the “VSD Circular”).
(3) Capital reorganisation
The capital reorganisation of the Company involving, among other things, capital reduction and increase in the authorised ordinary share capital of the Company has been completed and became effective since 25 August 2015. Further details regarding the capital reorganisation are set out in the Company’s circular dated 21 May 2015 and the Interim Report.
(4) The VSD and the Distribution
As set out in the VSD Circular in relation to, among other things, the VSD and the Distribution, Smart Title Limited (being the target company of the VSD) and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the provision of recreational and wellness services through the management of “Beijing Bayhood No. 9 Club”. It is further stated in the VSD Circular that the Group will continue to operate “Beijing Bayhood No. 9 Club” after completion of the VSD through a leasing agreement (the “Leasing Agreement”) with a term of twenty years (which can be further extended to 31 December 2051 upon request by the Group). As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 6 October 2015, the Board estimated that a loss on disposal before taxation of approximately HK$220 million would be recognised upon completion of the VSD. The completion of the VSD and the Distribution took place in October 2015. As set out in the sub-section headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Subscriptions” in the “Letter from the Board” of this circular, it is estimated that the net asset value of the Group as at 30 June 2015 would be significantly reduced from approximately HK$0.35 per Share to approximately HK$0.12 per Share after taking into account the effect of the VSD and the Distribution. Further details of the VSD, the Leasing Agreement and the Distribution are set out in the VSD Circular.

APPENDIX I
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 31 December 2014
1 GENERAL INFORMATION
China Jiuhao Health Industry Corporation Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) is principally engaged in the provision of online and offline healthcare and wellness services. The Group is also engaged in media business in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability on 27 May 2002 under the Company Law (2002 Revision) (Cap. 22) of the Cayman Islands.
The address of the Company’s registered office is Cricket Square, Hutchins Drive, P.O. Box 2681, Grand Cayman KY1-1111, Cayman Islands.
The Company is listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
These financial statements are presented in thousand Hong Kong dollars (HK$’000), unless otherwise stated. These financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 30 March 2015.
2 PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
(a) Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, which are carried at fair value.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRS 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 4.
– 77 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
Changes in accounting policy and disclosures:
- (i) New, revised and amended standards and interpretations to existing standards effective in 2014 adopted by the Group
The Group has adopted the following new, revised and amended standards and interpretations to existing standards (“new HKFRS”) that have been issued and are effective for the Group’s accounting year beginning on 1 January 2014:
HKAS 32 (Amendment) Financial Instruments: Presentation on asset and liability offsetting HKAS 36 (Amendment) Impairment of assets on recoverable amount disclosure HKAS 39 (Amendment) Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement – Novation of derivatives HKFRS 10, 12 and HKAS 27 Consolidation for investment entities (Amendment) HK(IFRIC) 21 Levies
The adoption of the above new HKFRSs did not result in substantial changes to the accounting policies of the Group and had no material effect on how the results and financial position for the current or prior accounting periods have been prepared and presented.
- (ii) New, revised and amended standards and interpretations to existing standards that are not effective in 2014 and have not been early adopted by the Group
The following new, revised and amended standards and interpretations to existing standards have been issued, but are not effective for the financial year beginning 1 January 2014 and have not been early adopted by the Group:

The Group has commenced an assessment of the impact of these new, amended and revised HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to state whether they would have a significant impact on its results of operations and financial position.
In addition, the requirements of Part 9 “Accounts and Audit” of the new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622) come into operation as from the Company’s first financial year commencing on or after 3 March 2014 in accordance with section 358 of that Ordinance. The Group is in the process of making an assessment of expected impact of the changes in the Companies Ordinance on the consolidated financial statements in the period of initial application of Part 9 of the new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622). So far it has concluded that the impact is unlikely to be significant and only the presentation and the disclosure of information in the consolidated financial statements will be affected.
(b) Group accounting
(i) Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiaries made up to 31 December.
(ii) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) 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 fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
– 79 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
Inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealized gains or losses are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
(iii) Business combinations
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognizes any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the carrying value of acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognized in profit or loss.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognized in accordance with HKAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
The excess of the consideration transferred the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognized directly in the income statement.
(iv) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions – that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.
– 80 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
(v) Disposal of subsidiaries
When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
(vi) Separate financial statements
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 dividend and receivable.
Impairment testing of the investments in subsidiaries is required upon receiving dividends from these investments if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the investee’s net assets including goodwill.
(vii) Joint arrangements
Investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations each investor has rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. The Group has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them to be joint ventures. Joint ventures are only accounted for using the equity method.
Under the equity method of accounting, interests in joint ventures are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the postacquisition of profits or losses and movements in other comprehensive income. The Group’s investments in joint ventures include goodwill identified on acquisition. Upon the acquisition of the ownership interest in a joint venture, any difference between the cost of the joint venture and the Group’s share of the net fair value of the joint venture’s identifiable assets and liabilities is accounted for as goodwill. When the Group’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interests in the joint ventures (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the joint ventures), the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint ventures.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the joint ventures. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of the joint ventures have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
– 81 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
(viii) 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-marker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the management committee, which comprises the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of the Group, that makes strategic decisions.
(c) Foreign currency translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). As the Company is listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchanges of Hong Kong, the directors considers that it will be more appropriate to adopt Hong Kong dollar as the Group’s and the Company’s presentation currency. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”).
(ii) 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 recognized in the consolidated income statement, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the consolidated income statement within “finance income/ (cost), net”. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the income statement within “other income and other gains, net”.
Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in consolidated income statement as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets, such as equities classified as available for sale, are included in other comprehensive income.
(iii) 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:
- (a) assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;
– 82 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
-
(b) 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
-
(c) all resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. Exchange differences arising are recognized in equity.
(d) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment, comprising leasehold land and buildings, plant, equipment and other assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. 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 recognized 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. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are expensed in the consolidated income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their costs to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
| Golf courses | 30 years |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 20-30 years |
| Leasehold improvements | 5 years |
| Furniture, computer and equipment | 3-5 years |
| Machinery and equipment | 5-10 years |
| Motor vehicles | 4-5 years |
Construction in progress is stated at historical cost less impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the construction.
No depreciation is provided on construction in progress since they are not ready for use. On completion, the costs are transferred to the appropriate property, plant and equipment.
Major costs in restoring property, plant and equipment to their normal working conditions are charged to the consolidated income statement. Improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their expected useful lives to the Group.
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
– 83 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
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 2(f)).
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in the consolidated income statement.
(e) Intangible assets
(i) Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries and represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the Group’s interest in net fair value of the net identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units (“CGUs”), or Groups of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.
Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying value of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment is recognized immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed.
(ii) Cooperation Construction and Operating Agreements
Cooperation Construction and Operating Agreements represent the rights (i) to construct and operate the club facilities of “Bayhood No. 9 Club” up to 31 December 2051; and (ii) to develop and operate a piece of 580 Chinese acre land adjacent to “Bayhood No. 9 Club” up to 31 May 2048. The cost of the Cooperation Construction and Operating Agreements represents of fair value of such asset as at the completion of the relevant business combination, and is amortized on a straight-line basis until the expiry of the relevant agreement. The Cooperation Construction and Operating Agreements are stated at cost net of accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any.
(f) Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example, goodwill or intangible assets are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized 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 reporting date.

APPENDIX I
(g) Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale and discontinued operations
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction and a sale is considered highly probable. They are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probably.
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business, the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the group and which represents a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations, or is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
When an operation is classified as discontinued, a single amount is presented in the income statement, which comprises the post-tax profit or loss of the discontinued operation and the post-tax gain or loss recognized on the measurement to fair value less costs to sell, or on the disposal, of the assets or disposal group(s) constituting the discontinued operation.
Upon the reclassification of disposal group held for sales, the amortization of intangible assets and depreciation of property, plant and equipment are ceased. The finance cost of convertible notes and promissory notes attributable to the disposal group is continued to be recognized and capitalized as cost of qualifying asset of construction in progress. Operating lease payment for land use right is continued to be incurred and capitalized to the carrying amount of disposal group.
(h) Financial assets
Classification
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss and 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.
(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets, if expected to be settled within 12 months; otherwise, they are classified as noncurrent.
– 85 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
(ii) 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 “programmes and film production in progress”, “trade receivables”, “amounts due from joint ventures and its subsidiaries”, “deposits and other receivables”, “cash and cash equivalents” in the consolidated balance sheet.
Recognition and measurement
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the tradedate – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the consolidated income statement. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” category are presented in the consolidated income statement within “other income and other gains, net”, in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement as part of “other income and other gains, net” when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.
Programmes and film production in progress are accounted for on a programmeby- programme or film-by-film basis and are stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Cost of programmes or film production in progress includes production costs, costs of services, direct labour costs, facilities and raw materials consumed in the creation of a programme or a film. Upon completion, these programmes and films under production are reclassified as programmes and film rights.
(i) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
– 86 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
(j) Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a 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 recognized in the consolidated income statement. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment 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 recognized (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement.
(k) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.
(l) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection of trade and other receivables is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.
Trade and other receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.
– 87 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
A provision for impairment of trade and other receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization, and default of delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the assets is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement within “administrative expenses”. When a trade receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account for receivables. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against “administrative expenses” in the consolidated income statement.
(m) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and deposits held at call with banks.
(n) Share capital
Ordinary shares and preference shares are classified as equity.
Preference shares are classified as equity as there is no contractual right to convert the preference shares to any outflow of liability on the Company.
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.
(o) Dividend distribution
Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Group’s consolidated financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company’s shareholders, or directors where appropriate.
(p) Trade payables
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
(q) Borrowings
Borrowings, comprise convertible notes and promissory notes, are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Promissory note is subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the consolidated income statement over the period of the promissory note using the effective interest method.
During 2012, the Group has issued convertible note that can be converted to share capital at the option of the holder, and the number of shares to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair value.
The liability component of the convertible note is recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognized initially at the difference between the fair value of the convertible note as a whole and the fair value of the liability component, which is included in shareholders’ equity in other reserves. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a convertible note is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a convertible note is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition.
The promissory note and liability component of the convertible note 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.
(r) Borrowing costs
General and specific 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.
All other borrowing costs are recognized in consolidated income statement in the period in which they are incurred.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
(s) Current and deferred income tax
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the consolidated income statement, except to the extent that it relates to item recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
(i) Current income tax
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries, joint ventures and an associated company operate and generate 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.
(ii) Deferred income tax
Inside basis difference
Deferred income tax is recognized, 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, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises 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 balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
(iii) 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.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
(t) Provisions
Provisions are recognized 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. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
When 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 recognized 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 recognized as interest expense.
(u) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the Group.
The Group recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits with flow to the entity and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities as described below.
-
(1) Food and beverage income and club activities income are accounted for when the services are rendered. Members’ annual fees are recognized on a straight-line basis over the subscription period. Membership entrance fees represent non-refundable upfront registration fee for lifetime entitlement by members for using the golf facilities and enjoying certain privileges in other facilities in the club and are recognized on a reducing balance method for which the membership is granted and the reducing rate is based upon historical usage pattern of existing members. The portion of membership entrance fees which relates to services not yet rendered as at year end is included in the financial information as deferred revenue. Such food and beverage income and club activities income are reported under Health industry segment.
-
(2) Revenue from programmes and film production in progress is recognized on a time proportion basis and reported under Media segment.
-
(3) Interest income is recognized on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method.
-
(4) Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established.

(v) Employee benefits
(i) Retirement benefit costs
The Group operates a defined contribution retirement benefits scheme (the “Scheme”) under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance, for all those employees who are eligible to participate in the Scheme. The Scheme became effective on 1 December 2000. Contributions are made based on a percentage of the employees’ basic salaries and are charged to the consolidated income statement as they became payable in accordance with the rules of the Scheme. The assets of the Scheme are held separately from those of the Group in an independent administered fund. The Group’s employer contributions vest fully with the employees when contributed into the Scheme except for the Group’s employer voluntary contributions, which are refunded to the Group when the employee leaves employment prior to the contributions vesting fully, in accordance with the rules of the Scheme.
The Company’s subsidiaries in the PRC except Hong Kong are members of the state- managed retirement benefits scheme operated by the government of the PRC except Hong Kong. The retirement scheme contributions, which are based on a certain percentage of the salaries of the subsidiaries’ employees, are charged to the consolidated income statement in the period to which they relate and represent the amount of contributions payable by these subsidiaries to the scheme.
For both retirement benefits schemes, the Group has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions if the funds do not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current or prior periods.
Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payment is available.
(ii) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognizes termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of current employees without possibility of withdrawal. In case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to present value.
(iii) Profit-sharing and bonus plans
The Group recognizes a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit-sharing, based on a formula that takes 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.

APPENDIX I
(iv) Employee leave entitlements
Employee entitlements to annual leave and long service leave are recognized when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave and long- service leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.
Employee entitlements to sick leave, maternity and other non-accumulating compensated absences are not recognized until the time of leave.
(w) Share-based payments
The Group operates a number of equity-settled, share-based compensation plans, under which the entity receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments (options) of the Group. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognized as an expense. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted:
-
including any market performance conditions;
-
excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions (for example, profitability, sales growth targets and remaining an employee of the entity over a specified time period); and
-
including the impact of any non-vesting conditions.
Non-market performance and service conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognized over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. In addition, in some circumstances employees may provide services in advance of the grant date and therefore the grant date fair value is estimated for the purposes of recognising the expenses during the period between service commencement period and grant date. At the end of each reporting period, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing vesting conditions. It recognizes the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the consolidated income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
When the options are exercised, the Company issue new shares. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium.
The grant by the Company of options over its equity instruments to the employees of subsidiary undertakings in the Group is treated as a capital contribution. The fair value of employee services received, measured by reference to the grant date fair value, is recognized as an increase to investment in subsidiary undertakings, with a corresponding credit to equity.

(x) Operating leases
Leases where substantially 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 charged to the consolidated income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
(y) Comparative figures
The comparative figures in the Group’s consolidated income statement relating to the provision for impairment of film rights and film in production of HK$21,050,000, which have been separately shown, is now included in “cost of sales” in order to conform to the current year’s presentation for a better understanding of the Group’s activities. This reclassification has no effect on the Group’s consolidated balance sheets as at both 31 December 2014 and 2013, or the Group’s profit/(loss) or cash flows for the years ended 31 December 2014 and 2013.
3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
(i) Financial risk factors
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: cash flow and fair value interest rate risk, credit risk, foreign exchange risk, price risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial market and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance.
(a) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
The Group has cash balances placed with reputable banks, which generate interest income for the Group.
Borrowings at fixed rates, including promissory notes, expose the Group to fair value interest-rate risk.
The Group has not used any interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to interest rate risk.
The Group analyzes its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions, and alternative financing. Based on these scenarios, the Group calculates the impact on profit and loss of a defined interest rate shift. For each simulation, the same interest rate shift is used. The scenarios are run only for financial assets and liabilities that represent the major floating interest-bearing positions.
Based on the simulations performed on cash balances placed with banks carried at floating interest rate, if the interest rate increased/decreased by 60 basis-point with all other variables held constant, profit/(loss) attributable to the equity holders of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2014 would increase/decrease by HK$976,000 (2013: decrease/increase by HK$599,000).

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk is managed on a group basis. The carrying amounts of bank balances, trade receivable, deposits and other receivables, programme and film production in progress and amounts due from joint ventures and its subsidiaries represent the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets. The Group has policies that limit the amount of credit exposure to any financial institutions. The Group has also policies in place to ensure that the sales are made to customers with appropriate credit history and the Group performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers.
In regards to the amount due from joint ventures and its subsidiaries, management assessed the financial position and performance of the counter-party, taking into account its business plans, financial information and other factors. In addition, the Group reviews regularly the recoverable amount of deposits and other receivable, programme and film production in progress and amounts due from joint ventures and its subsidiaries to ensure that a adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts.
The credit risk on bank balances is limited because the counterparties are financial institutions with good credit standing.
Other than concentration of credit risk on bank balances, which are deposited with several banks with good credit ratings, the Group has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a number of counterparties.
(c) Foreign exchange risk
The Group mainly operates in Hong Kong and the PRC. Foreign exchange risk arises from the fluctuation between Hong Kong Dollars and Renminbi of balances between the Company’s subsidiaries in Hong Kong and the PRC. During the year, appreciation in Renminbi against Hong Kong Dollars from those balances resulted in the significant increase in exchange gain presented in the consolidated income statement within “other income and other gains, net”.
The Group has not used any forward contracts, currency borrowings or other means to hedge its foreign currency exposure but manages through constant monitoring to limit as much as possible its net exposures.
As at 31 December 2014, if Renminbi had strengthened/weakened by 5% against Hong Kong dollars with all other variables held constant, the profit for the year would increase/decrease and accumulated losses would decrease/increase by HK$26,273,000 (2013: loss for the year and accumulated loss would decrease/increase by HK$19,216,000), mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of Renminbi denominated loans and receivables.

(d) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management includes maintaining sufficient cash and bank balances.
Due to the dynamic nature of the Group’s underlying businesses, the Group monitors the current and expected liquidity requirements and maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalent to meet operational needs and possible investment opportunities.
The table below analyzed the financial liabilities of the Group and the Company into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table were the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within twelve months equaled their carrying balances, as the impact of discounting was not significant.
The convertible notes is based on the contractual maturity date without considering the potential conversion. The promissory notes is based on the face value plus interest as stipulated by the contractual terms.

APPENDIX I
(e) Price risk
The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held by the Group and classified on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value through profit or loss. The Group is not exposed to commodity price risk. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Group.
The Group’s investments in equity of other entities are publicly traded in The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of financial asset at fair value through profit or loss are dealt with in consolidated income statement. The performance is monitored regularly, together with an assessment of its relevance to the Group’s strategic plans.
As at 31 December 2014, if the share price increased/decreased by 5%, with all other variables held constant, the Group’s profit of the year would increase/decrease and accumulated losses would decrease/increase by HK$6,933,000 (2013: loss for the year and accumulated losses would decrease/increase by HK$800,000).
(ii) Capital risk 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 debts.
The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including ‘current and non-current borrowings’ as shown in the consolidated balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the consolidated balance sheet plus net debt. As at 31 December 2014, the Group has a net cash position and its cash and bank balances exceeded the total balance of borrowings by HK$143,677,000. The total gearing ratio at 31 December 2013 was 12%. The decrease in the gearing ratio during 2014 resulted primarily from the conversion of convertible notes to ordinary shares and settlement of promissory notes during the year (Note 27).

APPENDIX I
(iii) Fair value estimation
The fair values of the Group’s financial instruments are not materially different from their carrying values.
The fair values of financial instruments that are not traded in active market are made references to amounts as determined by discounted cash flow techniques.
The carrying values less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate 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.
The table below analysis financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:
-
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1).
-
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2).
-
Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3).
The following table presents the Group’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value:
| At 31 December 2014 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Trading securities At 31 December 2013 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Trading securities |
Level 1 HK$’000 138,652 16,000 |
Level 2 HK$’000 – – |
Level 3 HK$’000 – – |
Total HK$’000 138,652 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16,000 |
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing services, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in Level 1. Instruments included in Level 1 comprise primarily the listed equity investments.

4 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experiences and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and judgements 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 addressed below.
(i) Estimated impairment of goodwill
The Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with HKAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” (“HKAS 36”). The recoverable amounts of cashgenerating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates. Had the revenue growth rate and terminal growth rate applied to the discounted cash flow been lower than the management’s estimate, the goodwill might result in impairment. Details are described in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements.
(ii) Classification of assets and liabilities as disposal group held for sale and discontinued operations
On 11 December 2014, the Group entered into a sales and purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Group conditionally agreed to sell the entire interest in Smart Title Limited (the “Target Company”). This transaction has not yet been completed as at the date of the annual report.
The Group follows the guidance of HKFRS 5 to classify the assets and liabilities of Beijing Bayhood No. 9 Club and adjacent projects under development (the “Subject Land”) and the Subject Land’s operation as disposal group held for sale and discontinued operation. This determination requires significant judgement. In making this judgement, the Group considers that (i) the assets (or disposal group) are available for immediate sale in its present condition and the sale is highly probable given the proposed disposal has been approved and committed by the Group and a conditional sales and purchase agreement has been entered; (ii) the disposal would be completed within twelve months after the end of the reporting period; and (iii) the carrying amount would be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.
The operation of Beijing Bayhood No. 9 Club remains as continuing operation as the management considers that the Group will continue to operate Beijing Bayhood No.9 Club by entering into a club lease agreement. Pursuant to this agreement, the operating right of Beijing Bayhood No. 9 Club will be leased to the Group for a term of twenty years (can be further extended to 31 December 2051 upon request by the Group) upon the completion of disposal. In addition, the Group will continue to manage the daily operations and be responsible for the decision making of Beijing Bayhood No. 9 Club’s operation.

APPENDIX I
If any of the circumstances mentioned above about classification as disposal group held for sale or discontinued operation is no longer satisfied, the assets and liabilities of Beijing Bayhood No. 9 Club and the Subject Land and the Subject Land’s operation shall be derecognized as assets and liabilities of disposal group held for sale and discontinued operations. The depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets shall be resumed upon the date of reclassification to continuing operations.
Additional information is disclosed in note 32.
(iii) Income taxes
The Group recognizes income tax liabilities based on estimates of anticipated amounts of taxes that will be due. Where the final tax outcome is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.
(iv) Impairment of programmes and film production in progress
The Group assesses whether the programmes and films production in progress have suffered any impairment. Such assessment requires significant judgement. In making this judgement, the Group evaluates to current market conditions and trade history. If projected cash inflow from these investments deteriorates, provision for impairment may be required.
(v) Fair value of convertible notes
The fair value of convertible notes issued as part of the consideration for business combination was estimated using a valuation model carried out by American Appraisal China Limited. Several key assumptions including, for example, volatility of share price of the Company, risk free rate and effective yield. Had management determined that different assumptions used for the valuation, this would have caused a different liability component and equity component of convertible note and the fair value of consideration at the date of acquisition. Details are described in Note 27 to the consolidated financial statements.
(vi) Membership entrance fees
Membership entrance fees represents non-refundable upfront registration fee for lifetime entitlement by members for using the Bayhood No.9 Club facilities and enjoying certain privileges in other facilities in the club and are recognized on a reducing balance method which is based upon historical usage pattern of the members.

|---|---|
The weighted average applicable tax rate was 17.94% (2013: 36.90%). The change in weighted average applicable tax rate was mainly caused by a change in mix of profits earned.
Income tax credit for the year mainly represented the utilization of deferred tax liabilities arising from amortization of intangible assets.

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 tax 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. The analysis of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities is as follows:

Diluted earnings/(loss) per share
Diluted earnings/(loss) per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. As at 31 December 2014 and 2013, the Company has only two categories of potential ordinary shares: convertible notes and share options. The convertible notes are assumed to have been converted into ordinary shares, and the net profit is adjusted to eliminate the interest expense less the tax effect. For the share options, a calculation is performed to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average market share price of the Company’s shares during the year) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding share options. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options.
The conversion of all potential ordinary shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on the basic loss per share for the year ended 31 December 2013.

The values of the liability component and the equity conversion component were determined at issuance of the convertible note.
The fair values of the convertible notes are determined using option pricing method based on the key assumptions, including volatility of daily stock price return of 63.4% and risk free rate of 0.56%.

Notes:
-
(i) The merger reserve of the Group derives from the difference between the nominal value of the Company’s shares issued to acquire the issued share capital of China Jiuhao Group Limited (formerly known as Universal Appliances Limited) pursuant to the Group reorganisation in 2002, and the consolidated net asset value of China Jiuhao Group Limited so acquired. Under the Companies Law (2003 Revision) (Cap. 22) of the Cayman Islands, the merger reserve is distributable to shareholders under certain prescribed circumstances.
-
(ii) The share premium of the Company represents the excess of the fair value of the issued shares over the nominal value of the Company’s shares issued in exchange therefor. Under the Companies Law (2003 Revision) (Cap. 22) of the Cayman Islands, a company may make distributions to its members out of the share premium in certain circumstances.

(iii) During the year ended 31 December 2008, the Company repurchased 120,600,000 issued ordinary shares on the Stock Exchange. These repurchased shares were cancelled immediately upon repurchase. The total amount paid to acquire these issued ordinary shares of HK$4,609,000 were deducted from shareholders’ equity. A sum equivalent to the nominal value of the repurchased shares amounting to HK$1,206,000 has been transferred from accumulated losses to capital redemption reserve.

Increase in currency translation differences in other comprehensive income in current year was resulted from appreciation in Renminbi against Hong Kong dollars.

The Group has commenced an assessment of the impact of these new, amended and revised HKFRSs but is not yet in a position to state whether they would have a significant impact on its results of operations and financial position.
(ii) Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial information requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial information, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014, with the exception of changes in estimates that are required in determining the provision for income taxes and provision for impairment of investment in a joint venture.
– 164 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
The Group tests at the end of each reporting period whether investments in joint ventures have suffered impairment. The recoverable amounts have been determined at the higher fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value-in-use calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management. Cash flows beyond the budget period are extrapolated using estimated growth rates which do not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the business in which the joint ventures operate. Management’s judgement is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these investments, including the operations and the ability to generate economic benefits in the foreseeable future. If the operations of the joint ventures were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to recover the carrying amount, additional impairment may be required.
For the six months ended 30 June 2015, provision for impairment of interest in a joint venture of approximately HK$47,000,000 has been charged to the condensed consolidated interim income statement.
(iii) Financial Risk Management
(a) Financial risk factors
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: cash flow and fair value interest rate risk, credit risk, foreign exchange risk, price risk and liquidity risk.
The condensed consolidated interim financial information does not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements as at 31 December 2014.
There have been no changes in the risk management policies since year end.
(b) Fair value estimation
The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:
-
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).
-
Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).
-
Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).
– 165 –
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
APPENDIX I
The following table presents the Group’s assets that are measured at fair value:
| At 30 June 2015 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Trading securities At 31 December 2014 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Trading securities |
Level 1 HK$’000 26,000 138,652 |
Level 2 HK$’000 – – |
Level 3 HK$’000 – – |
Total HK$’000 26,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 138,652 |
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing services, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1. Instruments included in level 1 comprise primarily the listed equity investments.
There were no transfers between levels 1, 2 and 3, and no change in valuation techniques during the period.
4. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the management committee which comprises the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of the Group. The management committee reviews the Group’s internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. As at 30 June 2015, the Company has two categories of potential ordinary shares: convertible notes and share options (2014: same). The convertible notes are assumed to have been converted into ordinary shares. The net profit is adjusted to eliminate any interest expense less the tax effect charged to profit or loss. For the share options, a calculation is performed to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average annual market share price of the Company’s share during the period) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding share options. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the share options.
