Chairman’s Statement (continued)

OVERVIEW

The dampened growth of the global economy continued in 2016, the economic growth of both China and the U.S. were lower than the previous year. The U.S. experienced a sluggish economic recovery as it is being hindered by several problems including the weak productivity growth and its aging population; Europe is a beneficiary of low interest rate, weak exchange rate, quantitative easing and the diminished magnitude of financial austerity, and recorded a moderate growth in economy; with the accelerated pace of structural adjustment and evident effect of supply side reform in China, as well as the implementation of financial and monetary policies, the development of the economy remained steady; having affected by factors including the uncertainty in global economy, the volatility in global financial markets and the weak export trading, Hong Kong is expected to persist a low growth trend in its economy. The Company and its subsidiaries had fulfilled their full-year business targets better than expected, thanks to their efforts of hardworking and innovation to overcome all difficulties and challenges.

For the year ended 31 December 2016, the Company and its subsidiaries reported a turnover of HK$3,087,848,000 (2015: HK$2,765,720,000), representing an increase of 11.65% as compared with that of last year, whereas overall gross profit margin was 25.63% (2015: 20.26%). Owing to the fair value gain of investment properties, Shenzhen Aerospace Science & Technology Plaza, decreased substantially as compared to last year, the overall profit of the Company was reduced accordingly. In 2016, the Company recorded a profit of HK$1,203,252,000, representing a decrease of 26.01% as compared with that of HK$1,626,323,000 in 2015; profit attributable to shareholders was HK$796,108,000, representing a decrease of 19.15% as compared with that of HK$984,696,000 in 2015; earnings per share attributable to shareholders was HK25.81 cents (2015: HK31.92 cents). The Board recommended the payment of a dividend of HK2 cents per share for the year.

BUSINESS REVIEW

In 2016, the Company’s high-tech manufacturing business remained stable despite of its exposure to greater pressure in operations. Rental income of Shenzhen Aerospace Science & Technology Plaza was recorded for the first time upon its completion successfully. Hainan Aerospace Investment Management Company Limited*(海南航天投資管理有限公司) (“Hainan Aerospace”) decided to withdraw from the development project of the Complex Zone of the Launching Site in Hainan. The business of internet of things determined that cross-border e-commerce logistics as well as warehouse and logistics would be the two new major business development directions.

Hi-tech Manufacturing

In 2016, in the face of several adverse factors including complicated economic situation, the downturn of overseas consumption markets, the continued increase in the costs of raw materials and labour, and the decrease of orders from several major customers, the hi-tech manufacturing business underwent many challenges. However, through active market development, adjustment in cost structure and lowering the cost, the hi-tech manufacturing business managed to grow steadily. The turnover of the hi-tech manufacturing business for the year was HK$2,843,681,000 (2015: HK$2,731,794,000), representing an increase of 4.10% as compared with last year; the operating profit was HK$306,068,000 (2015: HK$275,333,000), representing an increase of 11.16% as compared with last year.

The business of the printed circuit board (“PCB”) business is the relative outperformer among the hi-tech manufacturing businesses. With the experience gained in technologies such as surface finishing, fine circuit, embedded devices and mix of rigid and flexible boards, the PCB business established a stronger competitiveness, and achieved a certain extent of outcome in market development in sectors like optoelectronics, camera, security and carrier. It had also completed the construction of factory expansion for high-density circuit board, and the first phase of equipment introduction and trial production. The liquid crystal display (“LCD”) business allocated its resources timely and appropriately in response to the request of major customers, and hence gained their trustworthiness. There was also achievement in the development of domestic market for the LCD business, and the business has successfully entered the market of electric meter.

Chairman’s Statement (continued)

The plastic product business was being affected by the relocation of the production base by several Japanese customers, and their orders were reduced correspondingly. The task on developing the domestic market in mainland China is getting better, the overall market of the office equipment is relatively stable, while the plastic products from the newly developed high-end audio equipment and auto parts become new segments for business growth. The decrease in the number of orders from major customers, and the stricter policy requirements in environmental protection and consumption tax from the government are factors that led to the decline in the performance of the battery business. For the intelligent charger business, it is currently focusing on developing five main product categories, namely the charger, the lithium battery charger, the mobile power pack, the Ni-MH charger and the intelligent remote control, and is gradually developing from low-power battery products to medium-power in order to broaden the market. The lithium battery charger for electronic tools and electronic bikes will be the target products of the intelligent charger business. The product structure of the electroplating business expands from electro-digital products to auto parts products and home appliances products. The newly completed electroplating factory in Boluo, Huizhou will enhance and innovate the electroplating technology, which includes the enhancement for the simple external appearance technology to new industrial technology in the integration of externals appearance and function, and in the meantime, the factory will develop diversified types of electroplating (such as the colour diversification of pearl nickel), and thus increase the market competitiveness significantly.

Shenzhen Aerospace Science & Technology Plaza

With the completion of Shenzhen Aerospace Science & Technology Plaza, the function of Shenzhen Aerospace Technology Investment Company Limited (深圳市航天高科投資管理有限公司) (“Shenzhen Aerospace”) was switched from project construction to operation management. In 2016, the construction and inspection of the Shenzhen Aerospace Science & Technology Plaza was completed, its property management company commenced the property management and services and achieved tenant leasing following its property management team recruitment. During the year, Shenzhen Aerospace borrowed an operating properties mortgage loan from a connected person, Aerospace Science & Technology Finance Company Limited (航天科技財務有限責任公司), so as to repay the outstanding balance of the existing syndicate loan. The connected transaction was approved by independent shareholders of the Company at the extraordinary general meeting held in October 2016. Shenzhen Aerospace recorded rental and property management incomes for the first time upon the completion of Shenzhen Aerospace Science & Technology Plaza. Its income and operating profits, including fair value gain of investment properties, of HK$163,943,000 and HK$1,523,913,000 respectively, were recorded. Shenzhen Aerospace Science & Technology Plaza will provide a new source of income for the Company and that significantly strengthens the cashflow of the Company and its subsidiaries. As at the end of 2016, Shenzhen Aerospace Science & Technology Plaza was valued at approximately RMB7,345,000,000 (2015: RMB5,777,000,000).

The Complex Zone of the Launching Site in Hainan

With the effects brought by the changes on the austerity measures, the increase in demolition and relocation settlement standards and the developing costs increased substantially in recent years, causing the risks increased with respect to the development of the Complex Zone of the Launching Site in Hainan and the benefit on return diminishes gradually. After a careful study, Hainan Aerospace, a joint venture, had decided to withdraw from the development of the Complex Zone of the Launching Site in Hainan, and initiated a dialogue with the Provincial Government of Hainan and the Municipal Government of Wenchang, trying to have the funds injected, which will refer to the audited project costs, to be returned to Hainan Aerospace in the form of cash and assets. Hainan Aerospace will be in its best effort to reach an agreement with the Municipal Government of Wenchang.

Internet of Things and Cross-border E-commerce Logistics

In 2016, Aerospace Digitnexus Information Technology (Shenzhen) Limited* (航天數聯信息技術(深圳)有限公司) (“Aerospace Digitnexus”) determined that cross-border e-commerce logistics as well as warehouse and logistics would be the two major business development directions. In cooperation with the export parcel mail branch of China Post in Shenzhen, Aerospace Digitnexus established a cross-border channel, of which a customs clearance centre in Kaiping

Chairman’s Statement (continued)

will act as the core to consummate the cross-border import service, providing efficient and convenient professional services including clearance, warehouse and logistics to cross-border e-commerce business. In April 2016, Kaiping Cross-border E-commerce Express Mail Clearance and Sorting Centre* (開平市跨境電子商務快件清關分揀中心) (“Kaiping Clearance Centre”) commenced clearance services, providing the transshipment, clearance and delivery services of cross-border express mail for the customers. The clearance volume of Kaiping Clearance Centre increased steadily from 500 mails per day during the initial stage to the current daily peak volume of 11,000 mails, and that had handled the declaration and clearance for more than 800,000 express mails in 2016. It possesses the functions of business-to-consumer (B2C), consumer-to-consumer (C2C), business express mails and so forth, and has become the port in Southern China with the most comprehensive qualifications.

In reliance on the internet of things intelligent application platform, Aerospace Digitnexus performs the research and development, production and sales of related products, and provides system solutions that are mainly applied in sectors such as warehouse and logistics. In 2016, the sales from major customers had been increased beyond expectation, the turnover amounted to HK$75,001,000, representing an increase of 141.96% as compared with that of HK$30,997,000 for 2015. Aerospace Digitnexus achieved turning loss into profit, with a profit of HK$7,134,000 during the year (2015: a loss of HK$46,823,000).

PROSPECTS

Looking forward, an improvement in the global economic growth is expected in 2017, but the risk that may bring by uncertainties still exists. With initial observation, the policies implemented by the U.S. after President Donald Trump took office are all helpful in boosting the economic growth, whereas there are evident signs on the stabilization of China’s economy. The stable performance from the two large economies, China and the U.S., will support the global economic development, and the economy of Hong Kong will benefit from it. However, the economy of China is in the crucial stage of structural transition and upgrade, at the same time the global economy is being confined to low growth pattern, and factors including the rate hike in the U.S., the commencement of negotiation about the Brexit, the potential of the implementation of trade protectionism by the U.S. President Donald Trump, and the elections in France, Germany and Netherlands may bring uncertainties to the peripheral economic conditions. The Company will adhere to the principles of prudent operation and stringent risk control, at the same time proactively pushing forward the progress of various tasks.

In terms of hi-tech manufacturing, the plastic products business will strengthen the marketing magnitude in Hong Kong and China, enhance efforts in technological upgrade and maintain a strong competitiveness. The electroplating products business based in Boluo will promote to install new electroplating lines, widen product types and expand the production capacity. The wireless charging and large-power battery products are the target markets of the intelligent charger business, and the business will accelerate the research and development of core technologies of battery products, enhance the market competitiveness by catering to the satisfaction for the demand of the customers. For printed circuit board business, more resources will be allocated to production lines of high-density PCB, rigid PCB, flexible PCB and surface-mount technology, etc., and it will emphasis on developing the markets of package substrate, auto electronic board, camera module, optoelectronics application and security, in order to expand the market segments. The LCD business will optimize its customer structure, strive for more new customers, and develop the high-end communication and electric meter market.

The project inspection, settlement of accounts and final accounts will be completed by Shenzhen Aerospace in 2017. The quality of the property management services will also be enhanced. Shenzhen Aerospace will monitor the property leasing and explore more sources for operating incomes.

The increase in turnover was mainly due to the improvement of performance in hi-tech manufacturing and cross-border e-commerce logistics, and the rental income and property management income of Shenzhen Aerospace Science & Technology Plaza was recorded for the first time. The decrease in profit attributable to the owners was mainly due to the substantial decrease in fair value gain of Shenzhen Aerospace Science & Technology Plaza upon its completion in June 2016.

Based on the issued share capital of 3,085,022,000 shares during the year, the basic earnings per share was HK25.81 cents, representing a decrease of 19.14% as compared with that of HK31.92 cents for 2015.

The distribution of 2015 final dividend of HK1 cent per share was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in May 2016 and warrants of which were dispatched to all shareholders on 22 June 2016.

RESULTS OF CORE BUSINESSES

The core businesses of the Company and the subsidiaries are hi-tech manufacturing, internet of things and crossborder e-commerce logistics, and the operation of Shenzhen Aerospace Science & Technology Plaza. The turnover of the hi-tech manufacturing is the main source of the Company’s turnover and that contributes a significant profit and cash flow. This enables the Company to fulfill gradual development of new businesses, such as having turned the property construction of Shenzhen Aerospace Science & Technology Plaza into asset management, so as to achieve the Company’s new development target and minimize individual business risk.

Hi-tech manufacturing

In 2016, global macroeconomic downturn and sluggish demands both at home and abroad had resulted in continuous depreciation of various foreign currencies by major countries to promote export. Meanwhile, the manufacturing industry in the mainland China witnessed an obvious accelerated slowdown and continuous rise in labour costs, manufacturers therefore experienced excess capacities and extremely intense price competition. Under such circumstances, certain businesses under hi-tech manufacturing was also affected significantly with a decrease in orders or the need to offer discounts to retain customers, which led to a decrease in profits. Further, the technological development cannot follow the pace of market needs resulting from rapid market changes and cannot enhance the products’ quality on time. Some customers even shifted the manufacturing of OEM products back to their homelands or other regions, making market development extremely difficult.

Independent Auditor’s Report

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF CHINA AEROSPACE INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED 中國航天國際控股有限公司

(incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability)

OPINION

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of China Aerospace International Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “the Group”) set out on pages 52 to 128, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss, consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2016, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”) and have been properly prepared in compliance with the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing (“HKSAs”) issued by the HKICPA. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA’s Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matters

Valuation of investment properties

We have identified the valuation of investment properties as a key audit matter due to the significant judgements and assumptions in determining the fair value.

As disclosed in notes 4 and 16 to the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2016, the fair value of investment properties is HK$8,492,873,000, with a fair value gain recorded in the consolidated statement of profit or loss of HK$1,412,301,000.

All the Group’s investment properties are stated at fair value based on valuations performed by independent qualified professional valuers. Details of the valuation techniques and key inputs used in the valuations are disclosed in note 16 in the consolidated financial statements. The valuations are dependent on certain key assumptions that require significant management judgements. The fair value of investment properties is assessed based on a method of valuation which involves certain estimates of similar market conditions and assumptions made on the investment properties including comparable market transactions with adjustments to reflect different locations or conditions, capitalisation rate and fair market rent.

Our procedures in relation to the valuation of investment properties included:

  • Obtaining the valuation reports and evaluating the management’s process in respect of reviewing the valuation performed by independent qualified professional valuers.

  • Evaluating the competence, capabilities and objectivity of independent qualified professional valuers.

  • Evaluating the valuation techniques and assessing the reasonableness of the key inputs used in the valuations based on our knowledge of the property industry.

  • Checking, on a sample basis, the market transactions and market rents of similar properties and locations, and assessing the appropriateness of specific assumptions made on adjustments of the properties by reference to age, location and individual factors which affect the valuation of properties.

Key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matters

Impairment assessment of trade receivables

We identified the impairment assessment of trade receivables as a key audit matter due to the use of judgment and estimates in assessing the recoverability of trade receivables by the management.

In determining the allowance for trade receivables, the management considers the credit history including default or delay in payments, settlement records, subsequent settlements and aging analysis of the trade receivables as set out in note 4 to the consolidated financial statements.

Our procedures in relation to impairment assessment of trade receivables included:

  • Obtaining an understanding of how allowance for trade receivables is estimated by the management.

  • Understanding the Group’s process in preparation of aging analysis of trade receivables.

  • Testing the aging analysis of trade receivables, on a sample basis, to the source documents.

As disclosed in note 23 to the consolidated financial statements, the carrying amount of trade receivables is HK$718,121,000 (net of allowance for doubtful debts of HK$26,509,000) as at 31 December 2016.

  • Assessing the reasonableness of recoverability of trade receivables with reference to the credit history including default or delay in payments, settlement records, subsequent settlements and aging analysis of individual trade debtors.

OTHER INFORMATION

The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Independent Auditor’s Report (continued)

RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA and the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with Section 405 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

Independent Auditor’s Report (continued)

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in the independent auditor’s report is Au Mei Yin.

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

HKFRS 9 “Financial instruments”

HKFRS 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets, financial liabilities, general hedge accounting and impairment requirements for financial assets.

Key requirements of HKFRS 9 which are relevant to the Group are described below:

  • all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKFRS 9 are required 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. Debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and that have contractual terms that give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, are generally measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”). All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair value at the end of subsequent accounting 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.

  • in relation to the impairment of financial assets, HKFRS 9 requires an expected credit loss model, as opposed to an incurred credit loss model under HKAS 39. The expected credit loss model requires an entity to account for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition. In other words, it is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised.

Based on the Group’s financial instruments and risk management policies as at 31 December 2016, application of HKFRS 9 in the future may have an impact on the measurement of the Group’s financial assets. The expected credit loss model may result in early provision of credit losses which are not yet incurred in relation to the Group’s financial assets measured at amortised cost. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect of HKFRS 9 until the Group performs a detailed review.

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

HKFRS 15 “Revenue from contracts with customers”

HKFRS 15 was issued which establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. HKFRS 15 will supersede the current revenue recognition guidance including HKAS 18 “Revenue”, HKAS 11 “Construction contracts” and the related interpretations when it becomes effective.

The core principle of HKFRS 15 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the Standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract Step 3: Determine the transaction price Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

Upon application of HKFRS 15, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when ‘control’ of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. Far more prescriptive guidance has been added in HKFRS 15 to deal with specific scenarios. Furthermore, extensive disclosures are required by HKFRS 15.

In 2016, the HKICPA issued Clarifications to HKFRS 15 in relation to the identification of performance obligations, principal versus agent considerations, as well as licensing application guidance.

The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of HKFRS 15 in the future may result in more disclosures, however, the directors of the Company do not anticipate that the application of HKFRS 15 will have a material impact on the timing and amounts of revenue recognised in the respective reporting periods.

HKFRS 16 “Leases”

HKFRS 16 introduces a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and accounting treatments for both lessors and lessees. HKFRS 16 will supersede HKAS 17 “Leases” and the related interpretations when it becomes effective.

HKFRS 16 distinguishes lease and service contracts on the basis of whether an identified asset is controlled by a customer. Distinctions of operating leases and finance leases are removed for lessee accounting, and is replaced by a model where a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability have to be recognised for all leases by lessees, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets.

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

HKFRS 16 “Leases” (continued)

The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost (subject to certain exceptions) less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. Subsequently, the lease liability is adjusted for interest and lease payments, as well as the impact of lease modifications, amongst others. For the classification of cash flows, the Group currently presents upfront prepaid lease payments as investing cash flows in relation to leasehold lands for owned use and those classified as investment properties while other operating lease payments are presented as operating cash flows. Upon application of the HKFRS 16, lease payments in relation to lease liability will be allocated into a principal and an interest portion which will be presented as financing cash flows by the Group.

Under HKAS 17, the Group has already recognised prepaid lease payments for leasehold lands where the Group is a lessee. The application of HKFRS 16 may result in potential changes in classification of these assets depending on whether the Group presents right-of-use assets separately or within the same line item at which the corresponding underlying assets would be presented if they were owned.

In contrast to lessee accounting, HKFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in HKAS 17, and continues to require a lessor to classify a lease either as an operating lease or a finance lease.

Furthermore, extensive disclosures are required by HKFRS 16.

As at 31 December 2016, the Group has non-cancellable operating lease commitments of HK$48,687,000 as disclosed in note 37. A preliminary assessment indicates that these arrangements will meet the definition of a lease under HKFRS 16, and hence the Group will recognise a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability in respect of all these leases unless they qualify for low value or short-term leases upon the application of HKFRS 16. In addition, the application of new requirements may result in changes in measurement, presentation and disclosure as indicated above. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the financial effect until the directors complete a detailed review.

Amendments to HKAS 7 “Disclosure initiative”

The amendments require an entity to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes. Specially, the amendments require the following changes in liabilities arising from financing activities to be disclosed: (i) changes from financing cash flows; (ii) changes arising from obtaining or losing control of subsidiaries or other businesses; (iii) the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates; (iv) changes in fair values; and (v) other changes.

The amendments apply prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017 with earlier application permitted. The application of the amendments will result in additional disclosures on the Group’s financing activities, specifically reconciliation between the opening and closing balances in the consolidated statement of financial position for liabilities arising from financing activities will be provided on application.

The directors of the Company do not anticipate that the application of the other new and amendments to HKFRSs will have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

For the year ended 31 December 2016

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (“Listing Rules”) on the Stock Exchange and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain properties and financial instruments that are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies set out below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for sharebased payment transactions that are within the scope of HKFRS 2 “Share-based payment”, leasing transactions that are within the scope of HKAS 17 “Leases”, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in HKAS 2 “Inventories” or value in use in HKAS 36 “Impairment of assets”.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participants ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

  • Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The principal accounting policies are set out below.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:

  • has power over the investee;

  • is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

  • has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss from the date the Group gains control until the date when the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each item of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies.

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s relevant components of equity including reserves and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted after re-attribution of the relevant equity component, and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Basis of consolidation (continued)

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries (continued)

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary attributable to the owners of the Company. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified/permitted by applicable HKFRSs). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under HKAS 39, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.

Investments in associates and joint ventures

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

The results and assets and liabilities of associates and joint ventures are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. The financial statements of associates and joint ventures used for equity accounting purposes are prepared using uniform accounting policies as those of the Group for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate or a joint venture is initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate or joint venture. When the Group’s share of losses of an associate or joint venture exceeds the Group’s interest in that associate or joint venture (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate or joint venture), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate or joint venture.

An investment in an associate or a joint venture is accounted for using the equity method from the date on which the investee becomes an associate or a joint venture. On acquisition of the investment in an associate or a joint venture, any excess of the cost of the investment over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the investment, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

For the year ended 31 December 2016

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Investments in associates and joint ventures (continued)

The requirements of HKAS 39 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Group’s investment in an associate or a joint venture. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with HKAS 36 “Impairment of assets” as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in accordance with HKAS 36 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

When a group entity transacts with an associate or a joint venture of the Group, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate or joint venture are recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate or joint venture that are not related to the Group.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets

Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), loans and receivables and available-for-sale (“AFS”) financial assets. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at FVTPL, of which interest income is included in net gains or losses.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Financial assets (continued)

Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets at FVTPL are mainly investments held for trading.

A financial asset is classified as held for trading if:

  • it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term; or

  • on initial recognition it is a part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

  • it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss includes any dividend or interest earned on the financial assets. Fair value is determined in the manner described in note 26.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including trade and other receivables, loan to a joint venture, pledged bank deposits, amounts due from subsidiaries, amount due from a related party and bank balances and cash) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment (see accounting policy on impairment of financial assets below).

Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-term receivables where the recognition of interest would be immaterial.

AFS financial assets

AFS financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated or not classified as financial assets at FVTPL, loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments. The Group designated equity securities held for an identified long term strategic purpose as AFS investments.

Dividends on AFS equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established.

AFS equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost less any identified impairment losses at the end of the reporting period (see accounting policy on impairment of financial assets below).

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of the reporting period. Financial assets are considered to be impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been affected.

For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include:

  • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

  • breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interest and principal payments; or

  • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation.

Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of debtors could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the credit period granted, observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial assets’ original effective interest rate.

For financial assets carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When a trade or other receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets (continued)

Impairment of financial assets (continued)

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.

In respect of available-for-sale equity investments, impairment losses previously recognised in profit or loss are not reversed through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities including trade and other payables, bank and other borrowings, loan from a controlling shareholder, loan from a related party and other loan are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis.

Financial instruments (continued)

Derecognition

The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire.

On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.

Revenue is recognised when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured; when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Group and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities, as described below.

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when goods are delivered and titles have passed.

Rendering of services

Service income is recognised when services are provided.

Dividend and interest income

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholders’ rights to receive payment have been established.

Rental income

The Group’s accounting policy for recognition of revenue from operating leases is described in the accounting policy for leasing below.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment including buildings and leasehold land (classified as finance leases) held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes (other than properties under construction as described below) are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Costs include professional fees and, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy. Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets other than properties under construction less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of the reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation (including properties under construction for such purposes). Investment properties are regarded as held for capital appreciation purpose.

Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at their fair values. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.

Construction costs incurred for investment properties under construction are capitalised as part of the carrying amount of the investment properties under construction.

An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use or no future economic benefits are expected from its disposals. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognised.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

The Group as lessor

Rental income from operating leases is recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Where the lease includes a rent-free period, the rental income foregone is allocated evenly over the lease term.

The Group as lessee

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Leasehold land and building

When a lease includes both land and building elements, the Group assesses the classification of each element as a finance or an operating lease separately based on the assessment as to whether substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of each element have been transferred to the Group, unless it is clear that both elements are operating leases in which case the entire lease is classified as an operating lease. Specifically, the minimum lease payments (including any lump-sum upfront payments) are allocated between the land and the building elements in proportion to the relative fair values of the leasehold interests in the land element and building element of the lease at the inception of the lease.

To the extent the allocation of the lease payments can be made reliably, interest in leasehold land that is accounted for as an operating lease is presented as “prepaid lease payments” in the consolidated statement of financial position and is amortised over the lease term on a straight line basis except for those that are classified and accounted for as investment properties under the fair value model. When the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between the land and building elements, the entire lease is generally classified as a finance lease and accounted for as property, plant and equipment.

Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise, except for exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation), which are recognised initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal or partial disposal of the Group’s interests.

Foreign currencies (continued)

For the purpose of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (i.e. Hong Kong dollars) using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rates for the year, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during the period, in which case, the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity under the heading of translation reserve (attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).

On the disposal of a foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, or a partial disposal of an interest in a joint arrangement or an associate that includes a foreign operation of which the retained interest becomes a financial asset), all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss.

In addition, in relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences are re-attributed to non-controlling interests and are not recognised in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals (i.e. partial disposals of associates or jointly arrangements that do not result in the Group losing significant influence or joint control), the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments on identifiable assets acquired arising on an acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of that foreign operation and retranslated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Exchange differences arising are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Intangible assets

Internally-generated intangible assets — research and development expenses

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development activities (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:

  • the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

  • the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

  • the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

  • how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;

  • the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

  • the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible asset is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internallygenerated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.

Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses (if any), on the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately.

Impairment on tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill

At the end of the reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets with finite useful lives to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. In allocating the impairment loss, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill (if applicable) and then to the other assets on a pro-rata basis based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. The carrying amount of an asset is not reduced below the highest of its fair value less costs of disposal (if measurable), its value in use (if determinable) and zero. The amount of the impairment loss that would otherwise have been allocated to the asset is allocated pro rata to the other assets of the unit. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Impairment on tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill (continued)

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventories are determined on a weighted average method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

Retirement benefits costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes including Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme and state-managed retirement benefit scheme are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are recognised at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid as and when employees rendered the services. All short-term employee benefits are recognised as an expense unless another HKFRS requires or permits the inclusion of the benefit in the cost of an asset.

A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees (such as wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave) after deducting any amount already paid.

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from “profit before taxation” as reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because it excludes items of income and expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable and deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Taxation (continued)

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary difference associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

For the purposes of measuring deferred taxes for investment properties that are measured using the fair value model, the carrying amounts of such properties are presumed to be recovered entirely through sale, unless the presumption is rebutted. The presumption is rebutted when the investment property is depreciable and is held within a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale.

Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.

Government grants

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognised as a deduction from the carrying amount of the relevant asset in the consolidated statement of financial position and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.

Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 3, the directors of the Company are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgements in applying accounting policies

The following are the critical judgements, apart from those involving estimations (see below), that the directors have made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

(a) Deferred taxation on investment properties

For the purposes of measuring deferred taxes arising from investment properties that are measured using the fair value model, the management has reviewed the Group’s investment properties portfolios and concluded that while the Group’s investment properties located in Hong Kong and certain investment properties in the PRC are depreciable, they are being held under a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment properties over time, rather than through sale. Therefore, in determining the Group’s deferred taxation arising from these investment properties located in these locations, the management determined that the presumption that investment properties measured using the fair value model are recovered through sale is rebutted.

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY (continued)

Critical judgements in applying accounting policies (continued)

(a) Deferred taxation on investment properties (continued)

For certain of the Group’s other investment properties located in the PRC, the management concluded that they are depreciable and are not held under a business model whose objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment properties over time. Therefore, in determining the Group’s deferred taxation arising from these investment properties, the management determined that the presumption that these investment properties measured using the fair value model are recovered through sale is not rebutted. As a result, the Group has recognised deferred tax liabilities on changes in fair value of these investment properties on the assumption that these investment properties will be recovered through sale.

The deferred tax impact of the Group is recognised at the end of the reporting period as shown in note 33.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The following is the key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that has a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets within the next financial year.

(a) Investment properties

Investment properties are stated at fair value based on the valuation performed by independent professional valuers. In determining the fair value, the valuers have based on a method of valuation which involves certain estimates of market conditions and assumptions made on the investment properties, including:

  • comparable market transactions with adjustments to reflect different locations or conditions; and

  • comparable market rents and transactions, occupancy rate, discount rate and cost to be expended to complete the development of investment properties under construction.

In relying on the valuation report, the directors of the Company have exercised their judgement and are satisfied that the assumptions used in the valuation is reflective of the current market conditions and current development of the investment properties. Changes to these assumptions would result in changes in the fair values of the Group’s investment properties and the corresponding adjustments to the amount of gain or loss reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. As at 31 December 2016, the carrying amount of investment properties is HK$8,492,873,000 (2015: HK$7,155,275,000). Information about the valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair value of the Group’s investment properties is described in note 16.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)

(b) Allowance for trade receivables

The Group makes allowance for doubtful debts based on an assessment of the recoverability of trade receivables. Allowance is applied to trade receivables where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the balances may not be collectible. In determining whether an allowance for doubtful debts is required, the Group takes into consideration of credit history including default or delay in payments, settlement records, subsequent settlements and aging analysis of trade receivables. Where the expectation of the recoverability of trade receivables is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact the carrying value of trade receivables and allowance for doubtful debts in the period in which such estimate has changed.

The management closely monitors the settlement status of trade receivables and will strengthen its effort to chase the debts and thus considers that the trade receivables with carrying amount of HK$718,121,000 (2015: HK$572,182,000) are recoverable due to its good credit quality.

5. TURNOVER

Turnover represents the gross invoiced amount of sales of goods and services, less discounts and sales related taxes, and rental income and building management fee income as follows:

2016 2015
HK$’000 HK$’000
Sales of goods and services 2,905,469 2,748,548
Rental income and building management fee income 182,379 17,172
3,087,848 2,765,720

6. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group determines its operating segments based on the internal reports reviewed by the President, the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) of the Group, that are used to make strategic decisions. The management has identified 10 reportable and operating segments, namely Hi-Tech Manufacturing Business (including plastic products, liquid crystal display, printed circuit boards, intelligent chargers and the related industrial property investment), New Material Business (including polyimide films manufacturing), Aerospace Service (including the Shenzhen Aerospace Science & Technology Plaza of property investment project, the Hainan Launching Site Complex Zone of land development project, Internet of Things and Cross-border e-commerce) which represents the major industries in which the Group engaged.

Other business represents income and expenses relating to investment properties which cannot be allocated to other operating segments.

16. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES (continued)

The investment properties under construction have been completed during the year.

The fair values of the Group’s investment properties at 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2015 have been arrived at on the basis of valuations carried out on that date by Jones Lang LaSalle Corporate Appraisal & Advisory Limited (“Jones Lang”) for properties situated in Hong Kong and Knight Frank Petty Limited (“Knight Frank”) for properties situated in the PRC. Jones Lang and Knight Frank are independent qualified professional valuers not connected with the Group and are members of the Institute of Valuers. The valuation of investment properties other than properties under construction was arrived at by reference to market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties. The valuation of investment properties under construction was arrived at by reference to market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties and by capitalisation of income potential of similar properties, on the basis that the properties will be developed and completed in accordance with the Group’s development plan, after taking into account of the estimated construction costs to completion to reflect the quality of the completed development and developer’s profits.

Fair value measurements and valuation processes

In estimating the fair value of the Group’s investment properties, the Group uses market observable data to the extent it is available. Where Level 1 inputs are not available, the Group engages third party qualified valuers to perform the valuation of the Group’s investment properties. At the end of each reporting period, the management of the Group works closely with the qualified external valuers to establish and determine the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs for Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. The Group will first consider and adopt Level 2 inputs where inputs can be derived from observable quoted prices in the active market. When Level 2 inputs are not available, the Group will adopt valuation techniques that include Level 3 inputs. Where there is a material change in the fair value of the assets, the causes of the fluctuations will be reported to the board of directors of the Company.

In estimating the fair value of the properties, the highest and best use of the properties is their current use.

The following table gives information about how the fair values of these investment properties are determined (in particular, the valuation techniques and inputs used), as well as the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurements are categorised (Levels 1 to 3) based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements is observable.

The above intangible assets have finite useful lives. Such intangible assets are amortised on a straight line basis over the following periods:

Development costs 4 years

At 31 December 2015, the directors have determined that the Group’s developments costs in relation to its Internet of Things business were impaired as a result of the decline in its expected future cash flows. Accordingly, an impairment loss of HK$11,715,000 (2016: nil) has been recognised in profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2015. The impairment on the development costs was made to the cash generating unit for the Internet of Things and based on their recoverable amounts. The recoverable amounts have been determined on the basis of their value in use calculations based on financial budgets approved by the management covering a 3 year period. The discount rates in measuring the amounts of value in use was 17% in relation to those assets. Other key assumptions included estimation of cash inflow/outflows on budget sales and expected gross margins based on the unit’s past performance and management’s expectation for the market development.

Key assumptions are those regarding the discount rates, growth rates and expected revenue stream and gross margin during the year. Management estimates discount rate of 19.5% using pre-tax rates that reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the cash generating unit. The growth rates are based on industry growth forecasts.

At 31 December 2016

The unlisted equity securities represent investments in unlisted equity interests and are measured at cost less impairment because the range of reasonable fair value estimates was so significant that the directors of the Company were of the opinion that the fair value cannot be measured reliably.

At 31 December 2015, the directors conducted a review of the recoverable amount of the Group’s availablefor-sale investments. Based on the assessment, the recoverable amount of the Group’s available-for-sale investments was estimated to be less than its carrying amount with reference to the financial position of the investee company. Accordingly, the management of the Group determined that an impairment loss of HK$29,000,000 (2016: nil) is recognised in the profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2015.

21. OTHER LONG TERM ASSETS

The amounts represent accrued rental income taking into account of rent free periods and are recognised in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant leases.

Note: The amount mainly represents temporary differences arising from allowances for doubtful debts, tax losses and deferred tax liabilities arising from fair value adjustments on assets acquired (i.e. intangible assets, prepaid lease payments and property, plant and equipment) upon acquisition of subsidiaries and accrued rental income.

For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of financial position, the above deferred tax assets and liabilities have been offset.

At 31 December 2016, the Group has unused tax losses of approximately HK$1,168 million (2015: HK$1,202 million) available for offset against future profits. No deferred tax asset has been recognised in respect of such tax losses due to the unpredictability of future profit streams. Included in the unrecognised tax losses, HK$979 million (2015: HK$1,020 million) may be carried forward indefinitely and the remaining balance will expire at various dates up to the end of 2019 (2015: expire at various dates up to the end of 2018).

Deferred taxation has not been recognised in respect of the temporary differences attributable to the undistributable retained profits earned by the subsidiaries in the PRC amounting to approximately HK$2,721 million (2015: HK$2,186 million) starting from 1 January 2008 under the EIT Law of the PRC that requires withholding tax upon the distribution of such profits to the non-PRC shareholders as the directors are of the opinion that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

The only obligation of the Group with respect to the pension scheme is to make the required contributions under the scheme.

The total cost charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss of HK$26,691,000 (2015: HK$19,835,000) represents contribution to the schemes by the Group at the rates specified in the rules of the schemes.

39. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concern while maximising the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from prior year.

The capital structure of the Group consists of net debt, which mainly includes the borrowings disclosed in notes 29, 30, 31 and 32, net of cash and cash equivalents, and equity attributable to owners of the Company, comprising issued share capital and reserves including retained earnings.

The directors of the Company review the capital structure on a regular basis. As part of this review, the directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the directors, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends and new share issues as well as the issue of new debt or the redemption of existing debt.

Details of the financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Market risk

Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to fair value interest rate risk in relation to fixed-rate bank deposits and loan from a controlling shareholder (see notes 27 and 31 for details of these deposits and borrowings). The Group currently does not have a policy on hedging of interest rate risks. However, the management monitors interest rate exposures and will consider hedging significant interest rate risk should the need arise.

The Group is also exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to floating-rate borrowings, loan to a joint venture and loan from a related party (see notes 24, 29 and 32 for details). In addition, the Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to the fluctuation of the prevailing market interest rate on bank balances. However, the management consider the Group’s exposure of the bank balances is not significant as interest bearing bank balances are within short maturity period and thus it is not included in sensitivity analysis.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to cash flow interest rate risk for bank and other borrowings after considering the impact of interest expenses being capitalised to investment properties in 2016. For variable-rate, loan to a joint venture, loan from a related party and bank and other borrowings, the analysis is prepared assuming the stipulated changes taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period. A 50-basis-point increase or decrease is used which represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s profit after taxation for the year ended 31 December 2016 would decrease/increase by HK$2,376,000 (2015: HK$5,596,000).

Equity price risk

The Group is exposed to equity price risk through its investments in listed equity securities. The management manages this exposure by maintaining a portfolio of investments with different risks. The Group’s equity price risk is mainly on equity instruments operating in aerospace and energy sector quoted in the Stock Exchange. In addition, the Group has appointed a special team to monitor the price risk and will consider hedging the risk exposure should the need arise.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.

If the prices of the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss had been 10% (2015: 10%) higher/ lower, the Group’s profit for the year ended 31 December 2016 would increase/decrease by HK$2,144,000 (2015: HK$1,434,000) as a result of the changes in fair value of the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk refers to the risk that movement in foreign currency exchange rate which will affect the Group’s financial results and its cash flows. The management considers the Group is not exposed to significant foreign currency risk as majority of its transactions are denominated in Hong Kong dollars and Renminbi (“RMB”) (the functional currencies of the Group’s major subsidiaries) and there were only insignificant balances of financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency at the end of the reporting period.

Credit risk

As at 31 December 2016, the carrying amounts of financial assets as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position represent the maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties.

In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.

Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers, spread across diverse industries and geographical areas. The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk in trade receivable, with exposure spread over a number of counterparties and customers. The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with good reputation.

In addition, the Group has concentration risk in relation to the loan to a joint venture. The Group monitors the exposure to credit in respect of the loan to a joint venture through exercising control over its financial and operating policy decisions and reviewing their financial position on a regular basis.

Liquidity risk

In the management of the liquidity risk, the Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by the management to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The management monitors the utilisation of bank and other borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.

The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities based on the agreed repayment terms. When the amount payable is not fixed, the amount disclosed has been determined by reference to the interest rates at year end. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

Notes:

(a) Under the terms of the court order in the reduction of the share premium on 11 July 1994 and 1 November 2005 (the “effective date”), the Company had given an undertaking to the court that a sum equal to the amount of the distributable profits of the Company as at 11 July 1994 and 1 November 2005 and any write back of the total provisions which have been made against at the effective date the investments will be transferred to a special capital reserve account until the amount of paid up capital, share premium and the special capital reserve exceeds the overall aggregate limit thereof after any reduction of such overall aggregate limit pursuant to provisions stated in (3) and or (4) below of this note. The Company is unable to distribute the special capital reserve until the actual and contingent liabilities outstanding at the effective date are paid off.

On 1 November 2005, an order of petition (the “Order”) was granted by the High Court of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the “High Court”). Pursuant to the Order, the reduction of the share capital and the cancellation of the share premium account of the Company as resolved and effected by a special resolution passed at an extraordinary general meeting of the Company held on 25 August 2005, was confirmed.

The capital of the Company was by virtue of special resolutions of the Company with the sanction of the Order reduced from HK$10,000,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000 ordinary shares of HK$1.00 each (of which 2,142,420,000 shares had been issued and were fully paid up or credited as fully paid) to HK$1,000,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000 ordinary shares of HK$0.10 each. The Company further by ordinary resolution provided that forthwith upon such reduction of capital taking effect, the authorised share capital of the Company would be increased from HK$1,000,000,000 to HK$10,000,000,000 by creation of additional 90,000,000,000 share of HK$0.10 each. Accordingly, after the approval of the Order, the authorised share capital of the Company was HK$10,000,000,000 divided into 100,000,000,000 shares of HK$0.10 each, of which 2,142,420,000 shares had been issued and were fully paid up or credited as fully paid and the remaining shares are unissued. The sum of HK$939,048,000 standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company was reduced and cancelled against the accumulated losses of the Company.
