1. Analysis of Real Estate Development Business

As the Group faced operations and funding difficulties during the prior period, the Group has downsized its real estate development business. Save for the remaining projects from the prior period, there are no new real estate development businesses so far.

The “Scenic Bay” project in Beijing covers an area of 129,000 square meters and the planned gross floor area is 195,000 square meters. Due to the macro-economic control policies implemented in 2004, and the cancellation of the assignment of land agreement by the Beijing Municipal Government, the approval for the grant of land of the project was not obtained as scheduled.

According to the proposal for resumption of trading submitted by the Company to the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited in May 2009, the Company will dispose of the Beijing Diye Project and the related preparatory works are now underway (For details, please refer to the announcement issued by the Company on 10th August 2009).

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the six months ended 30th June 2009

1. Accounting Policies and Basis of Preparation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with new Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”), Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKAS”) and Interpretations issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the disclosure requirements of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The standards are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2005. The accounts have been prepared under historical cost convention, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at their fair values.

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with the HKFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment 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 unaudited condensed financial statements include provision for bad or doubtful debts, provision for taxation, provision for asset impairment and fair values of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

2. Adoption of Going Concern Basis

The Group recorded a net profit for the year of RMB(1,725,000) for the half year ended 30th June 2009. The management of the Company has taken the following measures:

  • (i) Carry out debt restructuring with its creditors. Up to the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements, the Group has reached agreements with its creditors in respect of debt restructuring and the court litigations have been discharged. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Group will continue to operate as a going concern;

  • (ii) The management of the Company is considering to strengthen the capital base of the Company and provide immediate cash flow through various financing activities and capital restructuring, including, but not limited to, private placement of the Company’s shares;

  • (iii) The management of the Company continues to take action to strengthen cost control in respect of various administrative and other operating expenses, and is actively seeking new investment and business opportunities to pursue profitable businesses that would bring positive cash flow.

The management of the Company believes that, in light of the measures taken to date, together with the expected results of other measures in progress, the Group will have sufficient working capital to finance its operations and remain as a going concern in the foreseeable future. The management of the Company is of the opinion that it is appropriate to prepare these consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.
