ANNOUNCEMENT OF ANNUAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2012
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
-
Turnover for the year ended 31 December 2012 was approximately RMB10,160,000 (2011: RMB22,879,000), a decrease of 55.59% over last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to the fall in rental income from properties as a result of the disposal of properties and the fact that our real estate development business is still in the input stage and therefore no income could be recognised.
-
For the year ended 31 December 2012, the Company recorded profit of approximately RMB27,126,000 (2011: RMB40,910,000), representing an earnings per share of RMB2.66 cents (2011: RMB4.47 cents).
-
The Board does not recommend the payment of a final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2012 (2011: nil).
The board of directors (the “Board”) of Shenyang Public Utility Holdings Company Limited (the “Company”) is pleased to announce the audited consolidated annual results of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) for the year ended 31 December 2012 (the “Year”), together with the comparative figures for the financial year ended 31 December 2011, which have been reviewed by the audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) of the Company.

2. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRSs”) AND HONG KONG ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (“HKASs”)
In the current year, the Group has applied the following new and revised HKFRSs and HKASs issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).
| Amendments to HKFRS 1 | Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates for |
|---|---|
| First-time Adopters | |
| Amendments to HKFRS 7 | Financial Instruments: |
| Disclosures-Transfers of Financial Assets | |
| Amendments to HKAS 12 | Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets |
Amendments to HKAS 12 Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets
In December 2010, the HKICPA amended HKAS 12 Income taxes to introduce an exception to the principle for the measurement of deferred tax assets or liabilities arising on an investment property measured at fair value. HKAS 12 requires an entity to measure the deferred tax relating to an asset depending on whether the entity expects to recover the carrying amount of the asset through use or sale. The amendment introduces a rebuttable presumption that an investment property measured at fair value is recovered entirely by sale. The amendment is applicable retrospectively to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012 with early adoption permitted.
The directors consider the Group’s business model is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment properties over time, rather than through sale. Accordingly, the presumption is rebutted and related deferred tax is not remeasured upon the adoption of this amendment. There are no significant impact on the Group’s results of operations and financial position.
– 8 –
There are no other amended standards or interpretations that are effective for the first time for the consolidated financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2012 that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group.
The Group has not early applied the following new or revised HKFRSs and HKASs that have been issued but are not yet effective:
Amendments to HKFRS 1 Government Loans[2] Amendments to HKFRS 7 Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities[2] HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments[4] Amendments to HKFRS 9 and HKFRS 7 Mandatory effective date of HKFRS 9 and transition disclosure[4] HKFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements[2] HKFRS 11 Joint Arrangements[2] HKFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities[2] Amendments to HKFRS 10, HKFRS 11 and Consolidated Financial Statements, Joint Arrangements HKFRS 12 and Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities: Transition Guidance[2] Amendments to HKFRS 10, HKFRS 12 and Investment Entities[3] HKAS 27 (2011) HKFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement[2] Amendments to HKAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income[1] HKAS 19 (2011) Employee Benefits[2] HKAS 27 (2011) Separate Financial Statements[2] HKAS 28 (2011) Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures[2] Amendments to HKAS 32 Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities[3] HK (IFRIC*) – Int 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine[2] Amendments to HKFRSs Annual Improvements 2009-2011 Cycle[2]

Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2009 - 2011 Cycle issued in June 2012
The Annual Improvements to HKFRSs 2009 - 2011 Cycle include a number of amendments to various HKFRSs. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013. Amendments to HKFRSs include the amendments to HKAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and the amendments to HKAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation .
The amendments to HKAS 16 clarify that spare parts, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment should be classified as property, plant and equipment when they meet the definition of property, plant and equipment in HKAS 16 and as inventory otherwise. The directors do not anticipate that the application of the amendments will have a material effect on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
The amendments to HKAS 32 clarify that income tax on distributions to holders of an equity instrument and transaction costs of an equity transaction should be accounted for in accordance with HKAS 12 Income Taxes . The directors anticipate that the amendments to HKAS 32 will have no effect on the Group’s consolidated financial statements as the Group has already adopted this treatment.
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 offset of financial assets and liabilities requirements. Specifically, the amendments clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off” and “simultaneous realisation and settlement”.
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 amendments to HKFRS 7 are effective 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.
The directors anticipate that the application of these amendments to HKAS 32 and HKFRS 7 may result in more disclosures being made with regard to offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities in the future.
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 are 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.
– 10 –
- With regard to the measurement of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss, HKFRS 9 requires that 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 of financial liabilities attributable to changes in the financial liabilities’ credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Under HKAS 39, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the financial liability designated as fair value through profit or loss was presented in profit or loss.
HKFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015, with earlier application permitted.
The directors anticipate that the adoption of HKFRS 9 in the future may not have significant impact on amounts reported in respect of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities.
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.
The directors of the Company anticipate that HKFRS 13 will be adopted in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning 1 July 2013 and that the application of the new standard may affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and result in more extensive disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to HKAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income
The amendments to HKAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income introduce new terminology for the statement of comprehensive income and income statement. Under the amendments to HKAS 1, a ‘statement of comprehensive income’ is renamed as a ‘statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income’ and an ‘income statement’ is renamed as a ‘statement of profit or loss’. 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 items of other comprehensive income to be grouped into two categories: (a) items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (b) items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is required to be allocated on the same basis – the amendments do not change the option to present items of other comprehensive income either before tax or net of tax.
The amendments 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 future accounting periods.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Business Review
The PRC government’s austerity policies over the property market continued to influence the real estate industry in 2012. Despite the various uncertainties in the external environment, the Company seeks to explore business models that are in line with the principal operating direction and less affected by the austerity measures, so as to enhance the shareholders’ value.
During the financial year ended 31 December 2012 (the “Year”), the Company has disposed the entire equity interest of Beijing Shenfa Property Management Company Limited (“Beijing Shenfa”) and acquired Guangzhou Zhongzhan Investment Holdings Company Limited (廣 州市中展投資控股有限公司) (“Guangzhou Zhongzhan”). The acquisition of Zhongfang Chaozhou Investment Development Company Limited (中房潮州投資開發有限公司) (“Zhongfang Chaozhou”) and the disposal of Shenzhen Jade Bird Shenfa Optoelectronic Company (深圳青鳥瀋發光電有限公司) performed by the Company in the prior period has been completed in the Year.
During the Year, the business performances for both Zhongfang Chaozhou and Guangzhou Zhongzhan have been improved.
1. Analysis of Real Estate Development Business
- 1) Acquisition of Zhongfang Chaozhou Investment Development Company Limited* ( 中房潮 州投資開發有限公司 )
On 11 May 2011, the Company entered into the Acquisition Agreement (the “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”) (the “Vendors”), pursuant to which, the Company agreed to acquire the entire equity interest in Zhongfang Chaozhou from Tianjin Yongyang and Shenzhen Chuangzhan (the “Acquisition”) (please refer to the Company’s circular published on 25 September 2011 (the “Circular”) for further details).
Due to the delay in obtaining the registration of the change of business of Zhongfang Chaozhou from the PRC government, the Acquisition could not be completed before the financial year ended 31 December 2011 as originally expected by the Company and the Vendors. On 8 June 2012, the Company has obtained the registration procedures in connection with the change of the Shareholder of Zhongfang Chaozhou and on the same day, the Company has entered into an agreement with the Vendors to waive item (i) and (ii) of the vendor’s guarantees as mentioned in the Acquisition Agreement.Therefore, the completion of the Acquisition had been delayed until 8 June 2012. Upon completion, Zhongfang Chaozhou has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

As mentioned in the Circular, Zhongfang Chaozhou is working on a land development project in Chaozhou (the “Project”). Phase one of the Project was originally targeted to be finished by November 2011. However, the progress of the Project has been delayed for about five months due to the various reasons, including the adjustments on the construction design, the delay in the transfer of land and bad weather condition.
Zhongfang Chaozhou has obtained all necessary licenses for the Project as mentioned under the Acquisition Agreement. The Project owner, Chaozhou Jinshan Investment and Development Company Limited (“Chaozhou Jinshan”) has transferred a total of 3500 mu to Zhongfang Chaozhou for further construction and develop.
The construction of the first phase and the second phase of the Project has been preliminarily completed. Since there are still details to be finalized with respect to the total of 3,000 mu of constructed land of the first phase and second phase in order to reach the acceptance standard as agreed under the build transfer cooperation agreement, the transfer of such constructed land is yet to be completed. Chaozhou Jinshan only agreed to prepay RMB420 million (the “Prepayment”) to settle part of the payment to Zhongfang Chaozhou. Zhongfang Chaozhou is required to complete the remaining construction in first phase and second phase so as to fully comply with the acceptance standard. Chaozhou Jinshan will fully settle the outstanding payment to Zhongfang Chaozhou together with a project premium of 18% upon the acceptance standard was fully met. As at 28 March 2013, Zhongfang Chaozhou has received a Prepayment amounted to approximately RMB260 million from Chaozhou Jinshan.
According to the Acquisition Agreement, the Vendors agreed to make the compensation on the profit guarantee if Zhongfang Chaozhou achieves a net profit of less than RMB30 million for the year ended 31 December 2011. However, the profit guarantee has not been exercised given the facts that the Acquisition has not been completed before the financial year ended 31 December 2011 and the delay in completion of Acquisition is mainly due to the unforeseen external factors which were out of the expectation of both parties, the Vendors and the Company acknowledged that the profit guarantee as stated in the Acquisition Agreement shall be postponed to the financial year ending 31 December 2012. In accordance to the audited financial statements of Zhongfang Chaozhou for the year ended 31 December 2012 issued by the PRC auditor, Zhongfang Chaozhou has failed to meet the Profit Guarantee. Therefore, the Vendors was obliged to compensate approximately RMB30,500,000 to the Company. The compensation amount of approximately RMB30,500,000 has been received by the Company.

According to the management of Zhongfang Chaozhou, Zhongfang Chaozhou is currently working on the third phase of the Project where approximately 1500 mu land will be constructed. Due to the reasons for the delay of the Project as mentioned above, the whole Project is targeted to be completed by the end of 2013.
