8 INCOME TAX (CREDIT)/EXPENSE (continued)
Hong Kong profits tax
The applicable Hong Kong profits tax rate is 16.5% (year ended 31 December 2016: 16.5%) on the estimated assessable profit derived in Hong Kong for the year.
PRC corporate income tax
Under the Corporate Income Tax Law of the PRC (“CIT Law”), the CIT rate applicable to the Group’s subsidiaries established in mainland China is 25%.
The CIT Law and its implementation rules impose a withholding tax at 10% for dividends distributed by a PRC-resident enterprise to its immediate holding company outside PRC for earnings generated beginning 1 January 2008 and undistributed earnings generated prior to 1 January 2008 are exempted from such withholding tax. A lower 5% withholding tax rate may be applied when the immediate holding companies are established in Hong Kong according to the tax treaty arrangement between the PRC and Hong Kong. The Company’s mainland China subsidiaries did not have plan for distribution dividend to the Company, thus no such withholding tax was accrued (31 December 2016: Nil).
9 DIVIDEND
The Board of Directors did not recommend any payment of dividend in respect of the year ended 31 December 2017 (year ended 31 December 2016: Nil).
10 EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE
(a) Basic
Basic earnings/(loss) per share for the year is calculated by dividing the consolidated earnings/(loss) of the Group attributable to owners of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.
| Consolidated earnings/(loss) attributable to owners of the Company (HK$’000) Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue (’000) Basic earnings/(loss) per share (HK cents) |
Year ended 31 December 2017 131,719 10,360,288 1.27 |
Year ended 31 December 2016 (101,136) 10,209,603 (0.99) |
|---|---|---|
– 10 –
10 EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE (continued)
(b) Diluted
Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company has only one category of dilutive potential ordinary shares for the year ended 31 December 2016, which was the convertible bond (Note 18). The convertible bond was fully exercised by the bond owner in exchange of 1 billion ordinary shares at HK 0.2 per share on 6 November 2017.
The convertible bond is assumed to have been converted into ordinary shares from the beginning of the year, and the earnings attributable to owners of the Company is adjusted to eliminate the interest expense less the tax effect before the conversion. Given the impact of conversion of convertible bond on earnings per share is anti-dilutive for the year ended 31 December 2017 and 2016, diluted earnings/(loss) per share therefore is equal to basic earnings/(loss) per share.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
BUSINESS REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
Strong Market Potential Continued as China Focused on Innovation, Industrial Upgrade and Reforms
It was a very strong year for equities in 2017. There are also clear signals that Euro Zones and Japanese policymakers are withdrawing from their QE stimulus in the near future. While the US Federal Reserve has started to raise interest rates, rates so far have remained at relatively soft-bottom levels throughout much of the world. In our views, we believe the moderate approach in guiding US interest rates hike, as it structured today, is in the right direction to bolster the global resilience and steady economic growth. The recent trade friction between China and the US had pulled major indexes into correction landscape, though the trade policy could take years to affect markets, the two nations are still aggressively dragging their feet on resolving the deal which in large part will do good to the global economy. Many analysts believe the conflict will sooner or later be eased or compromised as long as there is a good chance for them to get back to the negotiating table.
In China, the recent twin meetings of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and the National People’s Congress have laid out concrete economic targets and policy tasks for 2018. The core focus has shifted clearly to the supply-side, with an emphasis on innovation, industrial upgrade and reforms. The government will continue to focus on supply-side reforms, pushing for capacity cut, costs reduction and environmental control for businesses, positive to the industry leaders in the upstream sectors. GDP and CPI growth targets are kept at “around 6.5%” and “around 3%” respectively. Stable growth while maintaining basically stable macro leverage level should continue, generating upside to the overall employment and labor wages. On property, China will continue shanty town redevelopment and “long-term housing mechanism”, including construction activities on rental projects and social units, these should help to increase our PC sales opportunities and market penetration.
