2016 Annual Report
Chairman’s Statement
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the board (the “Board”) of directors (the “Directors”) of Unisplendour Technology (Holdings) Limited (the “Company”), I hereby present the audited results of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) for the nine months ended 31 December 2016.
Business Review
The past financial period was a year of reform in the course of development of the Group. During the period, Tsinghua Unigroup was introduced as a strategic investor of the Company, and there was also change in the management of the Company subsequently. These above measures optimised the capital structure of the Company and had positive impact on the corporate governance of the Company.
In the financial period, the performance of the Group’s traditional business fell short of expectation due to poor economic and market environment. At the same time, according to problems identified in the past operation, the management integrated the traditional brand production equipment business, OEM business and automation and logistics business in the second half of the year, with main purposes to phase out production capacity lagging behind and optimise sales model and human resources structure. In addition, the management reviewed the past scale-oriented development strategy, and has put greater emphasis on the research and development of high-end products and exploring overseas and high-end customers while focusing on trade receivable management and inventory control to ensure that the cash flow of each business unit remained at healthy standard.
In addition, during the period, the Group also preliminary commenced its financial business, which was a newly-developed business in the financial period. The results of the newly-commenced business were basically in line with expectation, and achieved profit making status at this stage.

Unisplendour Technology (Holdings) Limited
Chairman’s Statement
Outlook
In the future, the Group will gradually increase the proportion of its own-brand products sales. The Company will, through the industry experience accumulated over the years, continuously strengthen its own research and development ability and provide direction of development for differentiated middle and high-end products, and through the implementation of new development strategies, build up its competitive edges and actively explore new markets for achieving the targets of compressing the cost and increasing product unit price. In addition, the Group will gain a foothold in the absolute leading edges of Tsinghua Unigroup in the integrated circuit and internet communication equipment markets in Mainland China, docking internal resources on business level, and forming synergy.
In financial business, the Group will increase resource inputs and efforts in the existing finance lease and factoring businesses, and expecting them to contribute more profit to the Group. A preliminary backbone team and various reserve projects for finance lease and factoring businesses have been formed, but limited by the capital, the current business scale is still lower than expected. In the future, with the continuous investment of the Group’s resources and the gradual acquisition of credit funds, the scale of the finance lease and factoring businesses will have significant increase compared with the existing standard, and the profitability can also be further enhanced. In addition, the Group will also focus on the development of licensed services under the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Ordinance to build a financial service platform. In the financial period, the proportion of the scale of revenue from financial business only accounted for a relatively small part of the overall scale of the Group, but as the business has a bright development prospect, the management has paid attention to the development of such business, and expected it to become a new point of profit growth of the Group.
During the period, the Company became a member unit of the Hong Kong Chinese Enterprises Association, and was elected as a director unit at the second meeting of the 14th session of the Board of Directors of the Association. In the future, the Company will strive to become a representative of Chinesefunded enterprises in Hong Kong, establish and maintain close connection with business groups in Hong Kong and other countries or regions, and promote the investment of Mainland China in Hong Kong and other countries or regions as well as the exchange and cooperation on trade between various parties.
Currently, the Group is healthy in working capital level. I believe that various adjustments the Group made in the financial period will lay a solid foundation for future development, and eventually will achieve the goal of the dual drive business model of “industry + finance” of the Group.

Management Discussion and Analysis
Business and operation review
Results
The Group is principally engaged in design, manufacture and distribution of SMT product and related equipment and finance lease and factoring.
In 2016, the Group’s SMT and related business is still facing an adverse situation. To tackle the challenges, the Group will continue to attach importance in research and development activities and increase efforts in market expansion. At the same time, other than its existing traditional business, the Group’s management will also actively search for development opportunities in the financial sector, and has expanded the finance lease business during the period.
For the nine months ended 31 December 2016, the Group had adopted business integration, and resolved its historical burdens. During the period, the Group recorded a revenue of approximately HK$268,360,000.
During the period, the Group recorded a net loss of approximately HK$603,151,000. The Board of Directors considered that the loss for the period was primarily caused by (i) the fair value loss of approximately HK$341,812,000 on the convertible bonds issued during the period; (ii) the provision for impairment of trade receivables of approximately HK$65,205,000; (iii) the provision for impairment of inventory of approximately HK$31,596,000 and (iv) the personnel expenses incurred by business integration of approximately HK$38,940,000.
Business review
SMT and related business
The Company had adopted measures to integrate the businesses of the traditional brand production, OEM and automation and logistics. The main task of the integration is to phase out outmoded production capacities and optimise the sales strategies of the existing products and the human resources structure, for the purpose of changing the decentralised state of the traditional businesses in the past, and forming a joint force to improve the quality of development through overall planning.
As the economy of Mainland China remained depressed, the Group’s product market continued to remain in the doldrums, which together with the business integration implemented by the Group during the period, had led to a significant decline in sales. During the period, the revenue of SMT and related business (the brand production business, OEM business and automation and logistics business after the integration) was approximately HK$267,451,000.

2016 Annual Report
Management Discussion and Analysis
In the future, the Group will continue to invest in the research and development of the SMT and related products, and make full use of the Group’s accumulated resources in the industry over the years to provide customers with differentiated middle and high-end products, and actively exploit overseas markets to gradually enhance revenue and profitability.
Finance lease and factoring business
In 2014, the Group established 天時融資租賃(深圳)有限公司 (currently known as 紫光芯雲融資租 賃有限公司 ), a wholly-owned subsidiary, in Qianhai, Shenzhen to develop finance lease and factoring business. The business achieved satisfactory progress during the period, and the Group will continue to increase its investment in the business, and consider it as one of the priority businesses of the Group in the future.
For the nine months ended 31 December 2016, the finance lease and factoring business recorded a revenue of approximately HK$909,000. Although the business has yet to contribute significantly to the Group’s results during the period, it is expected become one of the growth drivers of the Group.
Financial review
Income and gross loss
During the period, the Group recorded a revenue of approximately HK$268,360,000.
During the period, the Group’s gross loss margin was approximately 14.1%, which was mainly caused by the increase in the costs of the former brand production equipment business and the increase in the costs of the delay of project delivery of the former automation and logistics business.
Other income
During the period, the Group recorded other income of approximately HK$2,927,000, which included income from sales of scrap materials of approximately HK$2,053,000 and gains on sales of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of approximately HK$656,000.
Distribution costs
During the period, the Group recorded distribution costs of approximately HK$58,972,000, representing approximately 22.0% of the revenue.

Management Discussion and Analysis
The Group has established and performed a low frequency trading strategy with respect to its financial investments and diversified its investments among and within the listed shares of HKEX listed companies in high-tech industry including telecommunication, semiconductor, internet, computers and/or software. As the mobile internet technology and e-commerce market of Mainland China grew rapidly in the past few years and management expected such momentum to continue in the near future, the Group holds an optimistic view of future performance of its investments which are expected to benefit from the blooming internet development in Mainland China.
The Group acquired most of such shares at their relatively lower trading prices in late November and early December 2016, and therefore resulted in investment gains for the period. The Group will continue to adopt a prudent investing practice and selectively invest in quality shares with high level of market liquidity, relatively low volatility and a steady dividend yield.
As disclosed in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2016, while continuing to develop the existing business, the Group has been actively searching for new business growth points in sectors including financial investment in order to expand the scope of its ordinary business. The Group has put in place a strict reporting mechanism to monitor the Group’s investments. The investment decision making process involves market research preparations, evaluation of the management of the investment targets and reporting to the Board before making any investment decisions. Currently, there is a well formed executive team specifically responsible for the financial investments of the Group, such team is consisting of professionals with abundant experience in market analysis and trading. In addition, the executive team is subject to a strict reporting mechanism which ensures monitoring from the management and provide a safeguard for the performance of the Group’s investments.

Currently, the primary source of energy is the electricity purchased from outside, which is mainly for product production. The Group has established detailed regulations on the management of product production and process, as well as operating instructions, in order to enhance production efficiency and effectiveness, and reduce energy consumption and unnecessary waste. In the past period, the Group directly produced a total of approximately 60.58 tons of greenhouse gases, in which approximately 53.64 tons were carbon dioxide (CO2), approximately 0.10 tons were methane (CH4) and approximately 6.84 tons were nitrous oxide (N2O), and indirectly produced approximately 628.79 tons of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide (CO2)) from the use electricity purchased from outside. The greenhouse gases indirectly produced were calculated based on the emission coefficient provided in the Guangdong Province Enterprise (Unit) Carbon Dioxide Emissions Information Reporting Guide (2014 Version) ( 廣東省企業(單 位)二氧化碳排放資訊報告指南(2014 版)).
Waste
The Group has established detailed regulations on the management of waste recycling and has set up special garbage stations in the site, carrying out weighing, categorisation and registration on hazardous wastes such as sewage, sludge as well as rags, light tubes, gloves etc. exposed to chemicals produced in production, and the wastes are properly kept in specific areas in the garbage stations until they are recycled by external institutions with relevant qualifications to ensure that secondary contamination will not occur.

How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter
Recognition and measurement of convertible bonds
Refer to note 3.3 fair value measurement, note 4 Critical accounting estimates and judgements and note 28 Convertible bonds of the consolidated financial statements.
With the approval obtained in the special general meeting held on 9 May 2016, the Company issued 730,000,000 ordinary shares at a price of HK$0.4 per share and zero coupon convertible bonds with face value of HK$148,000,000 to Unis Technology Strategy Investment Limited on 30 May 2016. The management assessed the key terms in the relevant agreements and considered the substance of the contractual arrangements to determine the related accounting treatments. The convertible bonds issued by the Company are designated at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition.
The fair value of the convertible bonds were determined by using valuation technique and such technique involves the estimations on significant unobservable inputs such as volatility of the stock price and credit spread of the Company. The management engaged an independent valuer to assist on the fair value assessment of the convertible bonds at the date of initial recognition and the period end date.
We focus on these areas as the accounting for the initial recognition of the issuance of convertible bonds involves complex accounting judgements and the valuation assessment of the convertible bonds involves significant assumptions and judgements.
Regarding the initial recognition of convertible bonds, we performed the following procedures:
-
We interviewed management to understand the business substance of the arrangements, obtained and inspected the relevant supporting documents such as the agreements, board meeting minutes and the announcements by the Company; and
-
We evaluated the management’s analysis of the contract terms and the respective assessment on accounting treatment by the management.
Regarding the fair value assessment of convertible bonds, with the involvement of our internal valuation experts, we performed the following procedures:
-
We assessed the objectivity, independence and competence of the external valuer engaged by the management;
-
We analysed and assessed the valuation model adopted by management and the external valuer;
-
We analysed and assessed the significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation model as follows:
-
Volatility of the stock price by referencing to the Company’s historical movement on stock price; and
-
Credit spread by comparing to the credit spread of the comparable companies.
-
We analysed and assessed the sensitivity analysis performed by the Company over the above significant unobservable inputs; and
-
We performed an independent valuation assessment of the convertible bonds and compared the valuation results with management.
We performed the procedures above and obtained the relevant evidence to support management’s assessment on the initial recognition of the convertible bonds and the key assumptions and judgements adopted in the calculation of the fair value of the convertible bonds by the management.

Impairment of trade receivables
Refer to note 4 Critical accounting estimates and judgements and note 20 Trade receivables and other receivables of the consolidated financial statements.
For the nine months ended 31 December 2016, the Group provided for the impairment of trade receivables amounted to HK$65,205,000. As of 31 December 2016, the provision for impairment on trade receivables was amounted to HK$99,092,000.
The Group considered the credit quality of the customers and the analysis and assessment on the latest market and business operations updates to determine the collectability of the trade receivables.
We focus on these areas as its significance and the assessment for impairment of trade receivables involves critical accounting estimates and judgements.
Regarding the impairment of trade receivables, we performed the following procedures:
-
We understood and evaluated the Group’s internal controls over the process of identifying events or circumstances give rise to impairment on trade receivables and the respective impairment assessments, and we tested relevant key internal controls;
-
We performed independent assessment to identify events or circumstances which may give rise to impairment of trade receivables on a sampling basis. We focused on trade receivable accounts with material balances, long outstanding or poor credit records; and
-
We obtained the impairment calculation schedule of a specific trade receivable account on a sampling basis and assessed the impairment analysis performed by the management including inspection of the relevant supporting documents.
Based on the procedures performed and evidence obtained, we found the accounting estimates and judgements in relation to the provision for impairment of trade receivables were supported by the evidence we obtained.

Assessment on the tax provision on the recognition of offshore businesses
Refer to note 4 Critical accounting estimates and judgements and note 11 Income tax expense/(credit) to the consolidated financial statements.
Certain subsidiaries of the Group are subject to the tax review conducted by the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department (the “HKIRD”) on the offshore claims lodged on profits. For the nine months period ended 31 December 2016, the Group provided for HK$20,876,000 tax provision based on the information obtained in the current period.
We focus on these areas as the estimation of such tax provision is complex and involves significant judgements.
Regarding the provision on tax liabilities, we performed the following procedures:
-
We obtained and examined the correspondence between the Group, the HKIRD and the Group’s independent tax adviser;
-
We understood the matters in dispute based on the discussion with management and obtained and examined the assessment by management in arriving the expected tax liability; and
-
We involved our internal tax specialists to assess the provisions made by the management based on the evidence and information obtained.
We performed the procedures above and obtained the relevant evidence to support the judgements made on the provision of tax provision by the management.

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 regards.

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. We report our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with Section 90 of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda 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 scepticism 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.

Independent Auditor’s Report
-
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.
-
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.

Independent Auditor’s Report
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 this independent auditor’s report is William Lam.

1 General Information (Continued)
On 29 June 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company announced that the financial year end date of the Company has been changed from 31 March to 31 December commencing from the financial period ended 31 December 2016. Accordingly, the current financial period covers nine months from 1 April 2016 to 31 December 2016, and the figures of the comparative periods are not directly comparable.
On 29 August 2016, a special resolution was passed by the shareholder of the Company in the annual general meeting and with effect from 2 September 2016, the name of the Company was changed from “Sun East Technology (Holdings) Limited” to “Unisplendour Technology (Holdings) Limited” and adopted “ 紫光科技(控股)有限公司 ” as the Company’s secondary name in Chinese to replace its original Chinese name “ 日東科技(控股)有限公司 ”. On 12 October 2016, the English and Chinese names were registered with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.
These consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollar, unless otherwise stated. These consolidated financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 31 March 2017.
2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods/years presented, unless otherwise stated.
2.1 Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with all applicable Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss and properties, which are carried at fair value.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 4.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
2.1 Basis of preparation (Continued)
2.1.1 Going concern
The Group’s forecasts and projections, taking account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the Group should be able to operate within the level of its current facilities. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its consolidated financial statements. Further information on the Group’s borrowings is set out in note 27.
2.1.2 Changes in accounting policies and disclosures
-
(a) New and amended standards adopted by the Group The following amendment to standards have been adopted by the Group for the first time for the financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2016:

2.1.2 Changes in accounting policies and disclosures (Continued)
- (b) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2016 and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group, except the following set out below:
HKFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’
The new standard addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, introduces new rules for hedge accounting and a new impairment model for financial assets.
While the Group has yet to undertake a detailed assessment of the classification and measurement of financial assets, the Groups’ financial assets consists of loans and receivables which are carried at amortised cost and equity investments which are measured at fair value through profit or loss and hence there will be no change to the accounting for these assets with the adoption of HKFRS 9.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
2.1 Basis of preparation (Continued)
2.1.2 Changes in accounting policies and disclosures (Continued)
- (b) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted (Continued)
Accordingly, the Group does not expect the new guidance to have a significant impact on the classification and measurement of its financial assets.
For financial liabilities, the new requirements only affect the financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss and as at 31 December 2016, the convertible bonds issued by the Group were classified as financial liability at fair value through profit or loss. However, as stated in Note 35, as the ordinary resolution has been passed in the special general meeting on 30 March 2017 for the change in the agreement of the convertible bonds, the Group expects that such financial liability at fair value through profit or loss will be dereognised and convertible bonds, as compound financial instruments, will be recognised. Accordingly, the Group does not expect the new standards to have any significant impact on its financial liability.
The derecognition rules have been transferred from HKAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and have not been changed.
The new impairment model requires the recognition of impairment provisions based on expected credit losses rather than only incurred credit losses as is the case under HKAS 39. It applies to financial assets classified at amortised cost, debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, contract assets under HKFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, lease receivables, loan commitments and certain financial guarantee contracts. While the Group has not yet undertaken a detailed assessment of how its impairment provisions would be affected by the new model, it may result in an earlier recognition of credit losses.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
2.1 Basis of preparation (Continued)
2.1.2 Changes in accounting policies and disclosures (Continued)
- (b) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted (Continued)
The new standard also introduces expanded disclosure requirements and changes in presentation. These are expected to change the nature and extent of the Group’s disclosures about its financial instruments particularly in the year of the adoption of the new standard.
HKFRS 9 must be applied for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2018. The Group does not intend to adopt HKFRS 9 before its mandatory date.
HKFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’
The HKICPA has issued a new standard for the recognition of revenue. This will replace HKAS 18 which covers contracts for goods and services and HKAS 11 which covers construction contracts. The new standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer. The standard permits either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for the adoption.
At this stage, the Group is not able to estimate the impact of the new rules on the Group’s financial statements. According to the preliminary assessment by the Group, the adoption of HKFRS 15 is not expected to have significant effect on the financial performance and position of the Group. The Group will make more detailed assessments of the impact over the next twelve months.
HKFRS 15 is mandatory for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2018. At this stage, the Group does not intend to adopt the standard before its effective date.

(b) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted (Continued) HKFRS 16, ‘Leases’
HKFRS 16 will result in almost all leases being recognised on the balance sheet, as the distinction between operating and finance leases is removed. Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are recognised. The only exceptions are short-term and low-value leases. The accounting for leasers will not significantly change.
The standard will affect primarily the accounting for Group’s operating leases. As at 31 December 2016, the Group’s aggregate future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating lease are HK$27,955,000 (payments within one year are HK$10,506,000, and payments over one year but within five years are HK$17,449,000)(Note 31). However, the Group has not yet determined to what extent these commitments will result in the recognition of an asset and a liability for future payments and how this will affect the Group’s profit and classification of cash flows.
Some of the commitments may be covered by the exception for short-term and low value leases and some commitments may relate to arrangements that will not qualify as leases under HKFRS 16.
The new standard is mandatory for financial years commencing on or after 1 January 2019. At this stage, the Group does not intend to adopt the standard before its effective date.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
2.2 Subsidiaries
2.2.1 Consolidation
A subsidiary is an entity (including a structured entity) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
(a) Business combinations
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.
The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisitionby-acquisition basis. Non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation are measured at either fair value or the present ownership interests’ proportionate share in the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other components of non-controlling interests are measured at their acquisition date fair value, unless another measurement basis is required by HKFRS.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognised in profit or loss.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
2.2 Subsidiaries (Continued)
2.2.1 Consolidation (Continued)
- (a) Business combinations (Continued)
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognised in accordance with HKAS 39 in profit or loss. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognised and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in the statement of comprehensive income.
Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform to the Group’s accounting policies.
- (b) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions – that is, as transactions with the owners of the subsidiary in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying amount of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to noncontrolling interests are also recorded in equity.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
2.2 Subsidiaries (Continued)
2.2.1 Consolidation (Continued)
(c) Disposal of subsidiaries
When the Group ceases to have control, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for subsequent recognition of retained interest as associates, joint ventures or financial assets. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. It means that the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
2.2.2 Separate financial statements
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost includes direct attributable costs of investment. The results of subsidiaries are accounted for by the Company on the basis of dividend received and receivable.
Impairment testing of the investments in subsidiaries is required upon receiving a dividend from these investments if the dividend exceeds the total comprehensive income of the subsidiary in the period the dividend is declared or if the carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements exceeds the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the investee’s net assets including goodwill.
2.3 Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the executive director that makes strategic decisions.

2.4 Foreign currency translation
(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollar, which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency.
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within “finance income or expenses”. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income under “Other (losses)/gains, net”.
Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss.
(c) Group companies
The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
- assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;

-
(c) Group companies (Continued)
-
income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and
-
all resulting currency translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
-
goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. Resulting currency translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
2.5 Property, plant and equipment
Properties are recognised as fair value based on the valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation for properties at each balance sheet date.
A revaluation surplus is credited to other reserves in shareholders’ equity, unless the carrying amount of that asset has previously suffered a revaluation decrease or impairment loss. To the extent that any decrease has previously been recognised in profit or loss, a revaluation increase is credited to profit or loss with the remaining part of the increase dealt with in other comprehensive income. A decrease in the net carrying amount of properties arising on revaluation is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of the revaluation surplus in asset revaluation reserve relating to the same asset and the remaining decrease is recognised in profit or loss.
All machinery and equipment, furniture, fixtures and property decoration, computer software and motor vehicles are stated at historical cost less depreciation.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
2.5 Property, plant and equipment (Continued)
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on costs or revaluation (net of residual value) of assets over their estimated useful lives. The Group’s property, plant and equipment are amortised using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:
| – | Properties | 20-22 years |
|---|---|---|
| – | Machinery and equipment | 5-10 years |
| – | Furniture, fixtures and property decoration | 5-10 years |
| – | Computer software | 3-10 years |
| – | Motor vehicles | 3-10 years |
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each balance sheet date.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within “Other (losses)/gains, net” in the statement of comprehensive income.
2.6 Land use rights
Land use rights represent up-front payments to acquire long term interest in the usage of the land, and are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment loss. Amortisation is calculated on straight-line method to write off the up-front payments over the lease terms of fifty years.

2.7 Research and development costs
Costs associated with research activities are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development items (related to design and test of new and improved products) are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met:
-
It is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use;
-
management intends to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
-
the Group has the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
-
the Group has adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete and use or sell the intangible asset; and
-
the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development can be reliably measured.
Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs recognised in previous periods are stated as intangible assets, and amortised since the date when the asset was available for use using straight line method over its estimated useful life.
2.8 Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Nonfinancial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

2.9 Financial assets
2.9.1 Classification
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss and loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purposes for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
- (a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if expected to be settled within twelve months; otherwise, they are classified as non-current assets.
-
(b) Loans and receivables
-
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for the amounts that are settled or expected to be settled more than twelve months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. The Group’s loans and receivables comprise trade and bills receivables, factoring receivables and other receivables, security and restricted deposits and cash and cash equivalents.
2.9.2 Recognition and measurement
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade-date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the assets. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of comprehensive income. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.9 Financial assets (Continued)
2.9.2 Recognition and measurement (Continued)
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” category are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within “Other (losses)/gains, net” in the period in which they arise. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as other income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.
2.10 Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or the counterparty.
2.11 Impairment of financial assets
Assets carried at amortised cost
The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
2.11 Impairment of financial assets (Continued)
Assets carried at amortised cost (Continued)
For loans and receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. As a practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable market price.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
2.12 Derivative financial instruments
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value.
2.13 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises design costs, raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.
2.14 Trade and bills receivables
Trade and bills receivables are amounts and bills due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection of trade and bills receivables is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets.

2016 Annual Report
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
2.14 Trade and bills receivables (Continued)
Trade and bills receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for impairment.
2.15 Cash and cash equivalents
In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank deposits, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. In the consolidated and entity balance sheet, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
2.16 Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
2.17 Trade and bills payables
Trade and bills payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade and bills payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer); otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities.
Trade and bills payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.18 Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liabilities for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
2.19 Borrowing costs
General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
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.
2.20 Convertible bonds
During the reporting period, convertible bonds (including related embedded derivatives) issued by the Company are designated to be measured at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition, and the transaction costs are deducted from the statement of comprehensive income. At the end of each reporting period after initial recognition, all convertible bonds are measured at fair value and changes in their fair value are directly recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
If the convertible bonds holders convert the convertible bonds to share capital, and the number of shares to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair value, the convertible bonds are classified as compound financial instruments. The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognised initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognised initially at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component, which is included in shareholders’ equity in other reserves. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.

2.21 Current and deferred income tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
(a) Current income tax
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
(b) Deferred income tax
Inside basis differences
Deferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

- (b) Deferred income tax (Continued)
Outside basis differences
Deferred income tax liabilities are provided on taxable temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised on deductible temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries only to the extent that it is probable the temporary difference will reverse in the future and there is sufficient taxable profit available against which the temporary difference can be utilised.
(c) Offsetting
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income tax levied by the same taxation authority on either the taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
2.22 Employee benefits
Group companies adopt several pension plans including defined contribution plan, short-term employee benefits and termination benefits.
(a) Defined contribution plan
Retirement benefits to employees are provided through defined contribution plans.
The Group operates a defined contribution retirement benefit plan (the “MPF Scheme”) under the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance, for all of its employees who are eligible to participate in the MPF Scheme. Contributions are made based on a percentage of the employees’ basic salaries.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
2.22 Employee benefits (Continued)
(a) Defined contribution plan (Continued)
The employees of the Group’s subsidiaries which operate in Mainland China are required to participate in a central pension scheme operated by the local municipal government. These subsidiaries are required to contribute a certain percentage of the payroll costs to the central pension scheme.
Contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss as employees render services during the year. The Group’s obligations under these plans are limited to the fixed percentage contributions payable.
The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. Defined benefit plan is a pension plan without a fixed amount of contribution.
(b) Short-term employee benefits
Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.
Non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave and maternity leave are not recognised until the time of leave.
(c) Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. Termination benefits are recognised by the Group (a) when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and (b) when the entity recognises costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of HKAS 37 and involves the payment of termination benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than twelve months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to their present value.

2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
2.23 Provisions
Provisions for environmental restoration, restructuring costs and legal claims are recognised when: the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Restructuring provisions comprise lease termination penalties and employee termination payments. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
2.24 Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and represents amounts receivable for goods supplied, stated net of discounts returns and value added taxes. The Group bases its estimates of return on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customers, the type of transactions and the specifics of each arrangement. The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured; when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity; and when specific criteria have been met for each of the Group’s activities, as described below.
(a) Sales of goods
The Group manufactures and sells a series of industrial products. Sales of goods are recognised when the Group has delivered products to the customer, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery does not occur until the products have been shipped to the specified location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

2.24 Revenue recognition (Continued)
(a) Sales of goods (Continued)
No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with a credit term of thirty to ninety days, which is consistent with the market practice.
(b) Construction contract
When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated, contract revenue and cost is recognised over the period of the contract by reference to the stage of completion at balance sheet date. The group uses the ‘percentage-of-completion’ method to determine the appropriate amount to recognise in a given period. The stage of completion is measured by reference to the contract costs incurred up to the end of the reporting period as a percentage of total estimated costs for each contract. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are included in contract revenue to the extent that may have been agreed with the customer and are capable of being reliably measured.
When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable. Contract costs are recognised as expenses by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
(c) Finance lease income
When assets are leased out under a finance lease, the present value of the lease payments is recognised as a receivable. The difference between the gross receivable and the present value of the receivable is recognised as unearned finance income.
Unearned finance income is calculated using effective interest method, which allocates rentals to each period during the lease term, and allocates rentals between finance income and repayment of capital in each accounting period in such a way that finance income will emerge as a constant rate (implied effective interest rate) of return on the lessor’s net investment in the lease.

- (d) Factoring income
Factoring income is determined based on the time of transferring fund use rights and the calculation of effective interest rates.
2.25 Interest income
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. When a loan and receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans and receivables is recognised using the original effective interest rate.
2.26 Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
2.27 Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognised in the statement of comprehensive income over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate.
Government grants relating to property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as deferred government grants and are credited to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the related assets.

2.28 Lease
- (a) Where the Group is the lessor of financial lease
A finance lease is a lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset to the lessee. Upon the commencement of the lease term, the Group recognises the minimum lease payments as finance lease receivables, and recognises unguaranteed residual value as assets under the same category. The Group recognises the difference between (a) the unguaranteed residual value of minimum lease payments and (b) the present value of such payments (carried as finance lease receivables, net in the balance sheet) as unearned finance income. Minimum lease payments are payments over the lease term that the lease is or can be required to make plus any residual value guaranteed to the lessor by the leasee, or a party unrelated to the lessor.
Unearned finance income is allocated to each period during the lease term using the effective interest method that allocates each rental between finance income and repayment of capital in each accounting period in such a way that finance income is recognised as a constant periodic rate of return (implicit effective interest rate).
Initial direct costs such as commission, legal fees and internal costs that are incremental and directly attribute to negotiating and arranging a lease, are included in the initial measurement of the finance lease receivable and reduce the amount of income recognised over the lease term.
In respect of derecognition and impairment, finance lease receivables are treated as loans and receivables.
The impairment loss of finance lease receivables is measured by the difference between the carrying amount of receivables and the present value of estimated future cash flows (discounted based on the implied effective interest rate used in initial recognition).

Lessee of operating lease
A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset to the leasee. Payments received from leasees under operating leases (net of any incentives grant to the leasee) are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the lease periods.
Lessee of finance lease
The leased asset is recognised as the lower of the fair value of the leased assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments, the difference between the lease assets and minimum lease payment is recognised as unrecognised finance expenses using the effective interest method to amortise during the lease periods. The minimum lease payments less unrecognised finance expenses is stated as financial lease liability.
2.29 Dividend distribution
Dividend distribution to the Company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the Group’s financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company’s shareholders.
3 Financial Risk Management
3.1 Financial risk factors
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, price risk, and cash flow and fair value interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. Risk management is conducted by senior management of the Group and approved by the Board of Directors.

2016 Annual Report
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
3 Financial Risk Management (Continued)
3.1 Financial risk factors (Continued)
(a) Market risk
(i) Foreign exchange risk
The Group mainly operates in Mainland China and Hong Kong, and the primary foreign exchange risk arises from financial instruments measured by currencies other than the functional currency of the Group. The functional currency of the Group’s subsidiaries in Mainland China is Renminbi, and the functional currency of the Company and the Group’s subsidiaries in Hong Kong and the immediate holding companies in other regions is Hong Kong dollar. The foreign exchange risk of the Group arises from the financial instruments of the Group’s subsidiaires in Mainland China as measured by Renminbi, the financial instruments of the Company and the Group’s subsidiaries in Hong Kong and other regions as measured by Hong Kong dollar and the Group’s investments in foreign operations in Mainland China.
As at 31 December 2016, if Renminbi had weakened/strengthened by 5% against Hong Kong dollar and US dollar (31 March 2016: 5%) with all other variables held constant, the Group’s loss before tax for the period would have been increased/ decreased by HK$7,077,000 (31 March 2016: HK$2,556,000), mainly as a result exchange losses/gains on translation of Renminbi denominated trade receivables off the Group’s subsidiaries in Hong Kong.
Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognised asset or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the Group’s functional currency. Currently, there is no hedging policies for the Group on transactions, assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The Group closely monitor and controls foreign exchange risk and considers engaging in hedging activities if there is significant foreign exchange risk.
(ii) Price risk
The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held by the Group and classified on the consolidated balance sheet as at fair value through profit or loss. The Group is not exposed to commodity price risk. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Group.

3 Financial Risk Management (Continued)
3.1 Financial risk factors (Continued)
(a) Market risk (Continued)
- (ii) Price risk (Continued)
The Group’s equity investments in other entities are stocks publicly traded in the stock market. During the reporting period, the equity investments of the Group consists of stocks that are traded in the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Therefore, if the Hang Seng Index had increased/decreased by 5%, with all other factors held constant, the Group’s after-tax profit (i.e. equity) would have been increased/decreased by approximately HK$2,281,000.
- (iii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
The Group’s interest rate risk arises from borrowings. Borrowings obtained at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings obtained at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. As the terms of the fixed rate borrowings obtained are relatively short, therefore, the Group’s fair value interest rate risk is relatively low. The Group currently has not entered into any interest rate swap contract and will only consider for hedging of significant interest rate risk.
For the nine months ended 31 December 2016, if the floating rates for borrowings had increased/decreased by 1% (31 March 2016: 1%) with all other variables held constant, the Group’s loss before tax would have been increased/decreased by HK$421,000 (for the year ended 31 March 2016: HK$371,000).
As at 31 December 2016 and 31 March 2016, the expected fluctuations in interest rate had no significant impact on interest income derived from cash and cash equivalents.
(b) Credit risk
The Group is exposed to credit risks arising from the cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables and other receivables.

In respect of cash and cash equivalents and restricted deposits, the Group manages the credit risk by placing all bank deposits in state-owned financial institutions and banks and security companies with good reputation (all of which are financial institutions with high credit quality).
In order to manage credit risk arising from trade receivables and other receivables, the Group assesses the debtors’ financial position on a periodical basis and does not require the debtors to place collaterals for the outstanding balances. Certain of the Group’s sales are on letter of credit or documents against payment and the remaining balances are with credit terms of thirty to ninety days. The Group regularly reviews the recoverability of trade receivables and other receivables, based on the expected recoverability and timing of collection, the Group provides for bad debts, and the actual losses arising from bad debts are within management’s expectation.
As at 31 December 2016, trade receivables from the top five customers of the Group account for 9% of the total trade receivables (31 March 2016: 18%), thus the Group’s exposure to concentration of credit risk is low.
The credit risk on the factoring receivables is the risk of losses that the debtor is unable or unwilling to fulfill its obligations or commitments. In order to manage the credit risk on the factoring receivables, the Group manages credit risk exposure through periodic analysis on the borrower’s prepayment ability of the principal and interest, and produce the review report by re-visiting the different risk types customers. The Group generally requires guarantee for factoring business and the guarantee methods are determined based on credit position of the receivable sellers, risk exposure of factoring business and the characteristics of different guarantee methods, and assesses the guarantor’s guarantee ability, legal ownership and valuation of the collaterals and pledges and the feasibility to realise such rights over the collaterals and pledges. In respect of factoring receivables (including long-term receivables) guaranteed by third parties, the Group assesses the guarantor’s financial position, credit position and compensation capacity.
As at 31 December 2016, the maximum exposure to credit risk on the factoring receivables is the carrying amount of the factoring receivables (Note 20).

3.2 Capital management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings, and total capital is the adjusted total equity. As at 31 December 2016, total equity was a net liabilities position as a result of the accounting treatment on the issuance of convertible bonds (Note 28). As such convertible bonds were held by Unis Technology Strategy Investment Limited, the controlling shareholder of the Group, and the Group expects that all convertible bonds would be converted to ordinary shares before the maturity date, therefore, such convertible bonds are managed by the management as the equity of the Group. As at 31 December 2016, the adjusted total equity is the total equity excluding the loss from the change in fair value of convertible bonds.
As at 31 December 2016 and 31 March 2016, the gearing ratios were as follows:
| 31 December 31 March 2016 2016 HK$’000 HK$’000 |

3.3 Fair value estimation
The table below analyses the Group’s financial instruments carried at fair value as at 31 December 2016 and 31 March 2016 by level of the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Such inputs are categorised into three levels within a fair value hierarchy as follows:
-
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).
-
Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).
-
Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).
See note 14 for disclosure of the properties that are measured at fair value, note 19 for disclosure of the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and note 28 for disclosure of the convertible bonds.
Financial instruments at fair value as at 31 December 2016 were as follows:

|---|---|
| At initial recognition date Changes in fair value Closing balance |
415,080 341,812 |
| 756,892 |
The above changes in fair value are recognised as losses on changes in fair value of convertible bonds.
The Company uses the binomial model to assess the fair value of the convertible bonds. The inputs used by the model include the stock price of the Company, the conversion price of the convertible bonds, the risk-free rate, the dividend interest yield, the expected volatility of the stock price and the credit spread of the Company.
Quantitative information about fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as at 31 December 2016 were as follows:
| Significant unobservable inputs | 31 December 2016 |
|---|---|
| Expected volatility of the stock price Credit spread of the Company |
80.55% 861.5bps |
A higher expected volatility of the stock price will increase the fair value of the convertible bonds, a lower credit spread of the Company will increase the fair value of the convertible bonds.

Valuation processes of the Group
The Group employed an independent valuer who obtained the relevant professional qualification and experiences in relation to valuation of financial instruments to assess the valuation of the convertible bonds on each balance sheet date.
The Group’s finance department is responsible for reviewing the valuations performed by the independent valuer for financial reporting purposes. The finance department reports directly to the chief financial officer (CFO) and the audit committee (AC). The CFO, AC and the independent valuer will meet at least annually to discuss valuation process and the respective valuation results, in line with the Group’s reporting date. As at 31 December 2016, the fair value of the convertible bonds was assessed by the independent valuer.
At each balance sheet date, finance department will:
-
Verify all major inputs to the independent valuation report;
-
Perform sensitivity analysis based on the valuation inputs; and
-
Discuss with independent valuer.

All level 2 and level 3 valuation results on the balance sheet date are discussed with the CFO, AC and the finance department on the annual valuation meeting. The finance department will submit the report with the explanation of the change in fair value after the meeting.
As at 31 December 2016, the carrying values of current financial assets (including cash and cash equivalents, security deposits, restricted deposits, trade and bills receivables, factoring receivables and other receivables) and current financial liabilities (including trade payables, bills payables, other payables and borrowings) are a reasonable approximation of fair value.
4 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
4.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within next financial year are addressed below.
(a) Impairment of trade receivables and other receivables
The management of the Group determines the impairment of trade receivables and other receivables on a regular basis. This estimation is based on the credit history of the customers/borrowers and current market conditions. Management reassesses the impairment of receivables at the balance sheet date.

4 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements (Continued)
4.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions (Continued)
(b) Income taxes
The Group is subject to income taxes in Hong Kong and Mainland China. Significant judgement is required in determining the amount of the provision for income taxes (such as the determination of the profits derived from offshore businesses) and the timing of payment of related taxes (Note 11).
The recognition of deferred income tax assets are recognised for tax losses and temporary differences to the extent that the realisation of the related tax benefit through the future taxable profit is probable. The calculation of the future taxable profit involves judgements and estimates together with the considerations of the Group’s tax planning strategy and the impact of the macro economic conditions. Different judgements and estimates may affect the recognition and measurement of the deferred income tax assets.
No deferred income tax assets were recognised as the management of the Group is not able to determine whether it is probable that the future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
(c) Net realisable value of inventories
Net realisable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less anticipated costs to completion and applicable variable selling expenses. These estimates are made based on the current market condition and the historical experience of selling products of similar nature. It could change significantly as a result of competitor actions in response to adverse market condition. Management reassesses the estimations at the balance sheet date to ensure inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
(d) Fair value of convertible bonds
Convertible bonds issued by the Group are not traded in active market, and its fair value is determined by using valuation techniques. The Group determines the fair value of convertible bonds by using binomial model. Significant unobservable inputs including volatility of the stock price and credit spread of the Company. Refer to Note 3.3.

5 Segment Information
The Executive Directors are the Group’s chief operating decision-maker. Management has determined the operating segments based on the information reviewed by the Executive Directors for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. With effect from 30 November 2016, the Executive Directors reassess the Group positions from the perspective of its products and businesses, management combines the original “production lines and production equipment” segment and “brand name production equipment” segment into “production and sales of industrial products” segment. As the Group’s finance lease and factoring businesses increased in the period and the Group focuses on the expansion of such segment in the future, therefore, the “finance lease and factoring” is presented as a separate segment.
For the nine months ended 31 December 2016, the Group’s operating segments consist of the followings:
-
(1) Production and sales of industrial products; and
-
(2) Finance lease and factoring.
The Executive Directors assess the performance of the operating segments based on the revenue and profit before tax in each segment, the Executive Directors do not focus on the total liabilities of the segments. The unallocated activities primarily consist of corporate headquarter which manage and support the segments, secondary market equity investments managed by the corporate headquarter. The assets and liabilities mainly consist of secondary market equity investments and the financial liabilities as a result of the issuance of the convertible bonds by the Company respectively. The segment reports from April to November 2016 have been rearranged after the reorganisation, the segment information as for the year ended 31 March 2016 is restated based on the reclassified operating segment for the current period.

35 Events after the Balance Sheet Date
On 30 March 2017, an ordinary resolution has been passed in the special general meeting for the approval of the “Supplemental Deed” entered into by the Company with Unis Technology Strategy Investment Limited, pursuant to which the Company and Unis Technology Strategy Investment Limited agreed to remove the relevant terms and conditions in relation to the conversion price adjustment under the original agreement (the “Amendments”), accordingly, the convertible bonds issued by the Company pursuant to the original agreement will be derecognised. According to the “Supplemental Deed”, the convertible bonds issued by the Company will be recognised as compound financial instruments. The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognised initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is recognised initially at the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component, which is included in shareholders’ equity in other reserves.
Assuming the “Supplemental Deed” was effective on 31 December 2016, with all other variables held constant, based on the preliminary assessment of the management of the Group, the Group’s net assets would have been increased by HK$660,221,000 and resulting in the change from net liability of HK$195,763,000 to net assets of HK$464,458,000 as at 31 December 2016.
