2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRSs”)

In the current year, the Group has applied the following new and revised HKFRSs issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).

Amendments to HKFRSs Improvements to HKFRSs issued in 2010 Hong Kong Accounting Standard Related Party Disclosures (“HKAS”) 24 (as revised in 2009) Amendments to HKAS 32 Classification of Rights Issues Amendments to HK(IFRIC)-Int 14 Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement HK(IFRIC)-Int 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments

Except as described below, the application of the new and revised HKFRSs in the current year has had no material impact on the Group’s financial performance and positions for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to HKAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (as part of Improvements to HKFRSs

issued in 2010)

The amendments to HKAS 1 clarify that an entity may choose to disclose an analysis of other comprehensive income by item in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements. In the current year, for each component of equity, the Group has chosen to present such an analysis in the statement of changes in equity. The revised standard has no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

HKAS 24 Related Party Disclosures (as revised in 2009)

HKAS 24 (as revised in 2009) clarifies and simplifies the definitions of related parties. The new definitions emphasise a symmetrical view of related party relationships and clarify the circumstances in which persons and key management personnel affect related party relationships of an entity. The revised standard also introduces an exemption from the general related party disclosure requirements for transactions with a government and entities that are controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by the same government as the reporting entity. The accounting policy for related parties has been revised to reflect the changes in the definitions of related parties under the revised standard. The revised standard has no financial impact on the Group.

The Group has not early applied the following new or revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective:

Amendments to HKFRS 7 Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets1
Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities2
Mandatory Effective Date of HKFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures3
HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments3
HKFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements2
HKFRS 11 Joint Arrangements2
HKFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities2
HKFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement2
Amendments to HKAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income5
Amendments to HKAS 12 Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets4
HKAS 19 (as revised in 2011) Employee Benefits2
HKAS 27 (as revised in 2011) Separate Financial Statements2
HKAS 28 (as revised in 2011) Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures2
Amendments to HKAS 32 Presentation – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities6
HK(IFRIC)-Int 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine2
  • 1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011 2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015 4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012 5 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012 6 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014

Amendments to HKFRS 7 Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets

The amendments to HKFRS 7 increase the disclosure requirements for transactions involving transfers of financial assets. These amendments are intended to provide greater transparency around risk exposures when a financial asset is transferred but the transferor retains some level of continuing exposure in the asset. The amendments also require disclosures where transfers of financial assets are not evenly distributed throughout the period.

The directors anticipate that the application of the amendments to HKFRS 7 will affect the Group’s disclosures regarding transfers of financial assets in the future.

Amendments to HKAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities and amendments to HKFRS 7 Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

The amendments to HKAS 32 clarify existing application issues relating to the offsetting requirements. Specifically, the amendments clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off” and “simultaneous realisation and settlement”.

– 9 –

The amendments to HKFRS 7 require entities to disclose information about rights of offset and related arrangements (such as collateral posting requirements) for financial instruments under an enforceable master netting agreement or similar arrangement.

The amended offsetting disclosures are required for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and interim periods within those annual periods. The disclosures should also be provided retrospectively for all comparative periods. However, the amendments to HKAS 32 are not effective until annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014, with retrospective application required.

HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments

HKFRS 9 issued in 2009 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. HKFRS 9 amended in 2010 includes the requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and for derecognition.

Key requirements of HKFRS 9 are described as follows:

  • HKFRS 9 requires all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement to be subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent reporting periods. In addition, under HKFRS 9, entities may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognised in profit or loss.

  • The most significant effect of HKFRS 9 regarding the classification and measurement of financial liabilities relates to the presentation of changes in the fair value of a financial liability (designated as at fair value through profit or loss) attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability. Specifically, under HKFRS 9, for financial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss, the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability’s credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Previously, under HKAS 39, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the financial liability designated as at fair value through profit or loss was presented in profit or loss.

The directors anticipate that the adoption of HKFRS 9 in the future may not have significant impact on the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities.

New and revised Standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures

In June 2011, a package of five standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures was issued, including HKFRS 10, HKFRS 11, HKFRS 12, HKAS 27 (as revised in 2011) and HKAS 28 (as revised in 2011).

Key requirements of these five standards are described below.

HKFRS 10 replaces the parts of HKAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that deal with consolidated financial statements and HK (SIC)-Int 12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities . HKFRS 10 includes a new definition of control that contains three elements: (a) power over an investee, (b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and (c) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. Extensive guidance has been added in HKFRS 10 to deal with complex scenarios.

– 10 –

HKFRS 11 replaces HKAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and HK (SIC)-Int 13 Jointly Controlled Entities – Non-Monetary Contributions by Venturers . HKFRS 11 deals with how a joint arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control should be classified. Under HKFRS 11, joint arrangements are classified as joint operations or joint ventures, depending on the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangements. In contrast, under HKAS 31, there are three types of joint arrangements: jointly controlled entities, jointly controlled assets and jointly controlled operations.

In addition, joint ventures under HKFRS 11 are required to be accounted for using the equity method of accounting, whereas jointly controlled entities under HKAS 31 can be accounted for using the equity method of accounting or proportionate accounting.

HKFRS 12 is a disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the disclosure requirements in HKFRS 12 are more extensive than those in the current standards.

These five standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Earlier application is permitted provided that all of these five standards are applied early at the same time.

The directors anticipate that the application of these five standards would not have significant impact on amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements.

HKFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

HKFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. The Standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The scope of HKFRS 13 is broad; it applies to both financial instrument items and non-financial instrument items for which other HKFRSs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except in specified circumstances. In general, the disclosure requirements in HKFRS 13 are more extensive than those in the current standards. For example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the three-level fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only under HKFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures will be extended by HKFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.

HKFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, with earlier application permitted.

Amendments to HKAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income

The amendments to HKAS 1 retain the option to present profit or loss and other comprehensive income in either a single statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. However, the amendments to HKAS 1 require additional disclosures to be made in the other comprehensive income section such that items of other comprehensive income are grouped into two categories: (a) items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (b) items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is required to be allocated on the same basis.

The amendments to HKAS 1 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012. The presentation of items of other comprehensive income will be modified accordingly when the amendments are applied in the future accounting periods.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Business Review

Analysis of Property Development Business

Uncertainties over the real estate industry continue to elevate since 2010 as a result of the austerity policies imposed by the PRC government to cool down the property market. In order to enhance shareholders’ returns, the Company has been seeking and identifying potential projects to expand our business.

On 11 May 2011, the Company entered into the share acquisition agreement with Tianjin Zhongfang Yongyang Property Company Limited[] (天津中房雍陽置業有限公司) (“Tianjin Yongyang”) and Shenzhen Zhongfang Chuangzhan Investment Group Company Limited[] (深圳 市中房創展投資集團有限公司) (“Shenzhen Chuangzhan”), pursuant to which, the Company agreed to acquire the 100% equity interests in Zhongfang Chaozhou Investment Development Company Limited* (中房潮州投資開發有限公司) (“Zhongfang Chaozhou”) from Tianjin Yongyang and Shenzhen Chuangzhan (please refer to the Company’s announcement dated 11 May 2011 for further details).

Zhongfang Chaozhou, a company incorporated in Chaozhou, Guangdong, the PRC with limited liability on 29 October 2009, is primarily engaged in the business of real estate development and construction. At present, Shenzhen (Chaozhou) Industry Park for Industrial Transfer, Jingnan Branch[*] ( 深圳(潮州)產業轉移工業園徑南分園 ) Project is the principal construction-in-progress project of Zhongfang Chaozhou. The project has been approved by the Guangdong provincial government as a land development project, which the developer will construct an industrial park, spanning a landed area of approximately 4,500 acres, with sophisticated facilities and high management standard. The objective of the project is to attract industrial operators to relocate from the highly overcrowded and much soughtafter Pearl Delta region to this industrial park. The acquisition of Zhongfang Chaozhou by the Company is currently in progress and awaiting final completion.

On 23 May 2011, the Company entered into the sale agreement with Beijing Sihai Huaao Trading Company Limited[] (北京四海華澳貿易有限公司) (“Beijing Sihai”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell the 100% equity interests in Shenzhen Jade Bird Shenfa Guangdian Company Limited[] (深圳青鳥瀋發光電有限公司) (“Shenzhen Shenfa”), to Beijing Sihai. In view of the fact that the Company has identified an investment opportunity with high potential return as well as promoting the values of the Company and its shareholders, the management decided that the disposal of Shenzhen Shenfa would ameliorate the liquidity position of the Company for the development of the Zhongfang Chaozhou project and future investment opportunities (please refer to the Company’s announcement dated 23 May 2011 for further details). The disposal is currently in progress and awaiting final completion.

Analysis of Education Investment Business

On 26 April 2011, the Company entered into the sale agreement with Shanghai Buotou Zongrenzong Environmental Science and Technology Company Limited[*] (上海博投眾人眾 環保科技有限公司) (“Shanghai Buotou”), pursuant to which, the Company agreed to sell the 70% equity interests in Zhuhai Beida Education Science Park Company Limited (“Zhuhai Education”) to Shanghai Buotou (please refer to the Company’s announcement dated 26 April 2011 for further details).

With an annual rental income of Zhuhai Education of approximately RMB2,000,000 and a fair market value of its property, as stated in the valuation report of an independent valuer, of approximately RMB281,640,000, the yield of Zhuhai Education was lower than the other projects of the Group. Accordingly, the management decided to realise its investment in Zhuhai Education for liquidity so as to identify other investment opportunities with higher returns to enhance the value of the Company and its shareholders.

Business Prospects

Effects of the realignment policies on the property market initiated by the PRC government since 2011 had not only surfaced and developed, but also increases in reserve ratios and interest rates by the central bank ramped up liquidity pressures on the real estate industry. The Company will hasten to complete the acquisition of Zhongfang Chaozhou to give us a linchpin to explore and expand into various business formats of real estate, namely, first class land development and coordination and industrial property, in our strive to create value for shareholders.
