Notes:
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “ HKICPA ”). In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the “ Listing Rules ”) on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for investment properties that are measured at fair value. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods or service.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors have given careful consideration to the future liquidity of the Group. While recognising that the Group had net current liabilities of approximately HK$14,664,000 at 30 June 2016, the Directors are of the opinion that the Group will be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future as the Group has sufficient and steady projected future cash inflow and available unutilised bank borrowing facilities and the Directors expect to renew the existing banking facilities on similar terms and conditions when the existing banking facilities of the Group mature (if necessary). Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

HKFRS 15 “ Revenue from Contracts with Customers ”
HKFRS 15 was issued which establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. HKFRS 15 will supersede the current revenue recognition guidance including HKAS 18 “ Revenue ”, HKAS 11 “ Construction Contracts ” and the related interpretations when it becomes effective.
The core principle of HKFRS 15 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for goods and services. Specifically, the standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:
-
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with customer
-
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
-
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
-
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
-
Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation
Under HKFRS 15, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, that is when “control” of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. Far more prescriptive guidance has been added in HKFRS 15 to deal with specific scenarios. Furthermore, extensive disclosures are required by HKFRS 15.
HKFRS 16 “ Leases ”
HKFRS 16, which upon the effective date will supersede HKAS 17 “ Leases ”, introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than twelve months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Specifically, under HKFRS 16, a lessee is required to recognise a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. Accordingly, a lessee should recognise depreciation of the right-of-use asset and interest on the lease liability, and also classifies cash repayments of the lease liability into a principal portion and an interest portion and presents them in the statement of cash flows. Also, the right-of-use asset and the lease liability are initially measured on a present value basis. The measurement includes non-cancellable lease payments and also includes payments to be made in optional periods if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend the lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate the lease. This accounting treatment is significantly different from the lessee accounting for leases that are classified as operating leases under HKAS 17. In respect of the lessor accounting, HKFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in HKAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those two types of leases differently.
Other than the recognition of right-of-use asset, its related depreciation and lease liabilities under revised HKFRS 16 for future lease payments under operating leases, the Directors anticipate that the application of these new and revised HKFRSs will have no material impact on the Group’s financial performance and positions.

3. REVENUE AND SEGMENT INFORMATION
Information reported to the board of Directors (the “ Board ”) of the Company, being the chief operating decision maker, for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of performance focused on the location of the properties for property rental and property sales.
The property rental segment includes property leasing operation in the People’s Republic of China (the “ PRC ”). The Group’s investment properties portfolio, which mainly consists of offices, shopping mall and carparks, are located in Shanghai and Beijing, the PRC. The property sales segment includes sales of the Group’s trading properties in Beijing.
These divisions, property rental and property sales analysed based on distinct geographical locations, are the basis on which the Group reports its segment information under HKFRS 8 “ Operating Segments ”.
(a) Segment revenues and results
The following is an analysis of the Group’s revenue and results by reportable and operating segment for the year:
| SEGMENT REVENUE REVENUE External sales SEGMENT RESULT Unallocated other income Unallocated corporate expenses Finance costs Share of loss of a joint venture Profit before taxation |
Property rental Beijing Shanghai 2016 2015 2016 2015 HK$’000 HK$’000 HK$’000 HK$’000 36,269 36,386 67,601 67,051 31,255 44,119 135,647 95,572 |

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies. Segment result represents the profit (loss) from each segment without the allocation of central administration costs, bank interest income, imputed interest income on amount due from a joint venture, finance costs and share of result of a joint venture. This is the measure reported to the Board of Directors for the purposes of resources allocation and performance assessment.

No provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax has been made in the consolidated financial statements as the Group has no assessable profit for both years.
Under the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Enterprise Income Tax (the “ EIT Law ”) and Implementation Regulation of the EIT Law, the tax rate of the Group’s PRC entity is 25% from 1 January 2008 onwards.
Certain subsidiaries of the Company incorporated in Hong Kong and the British Virgin Islands are subject to withholding tax ranging from 10% to 25% on their taxable rental income, management fee income and interest income in the PRC.
The EIT Law also requires withholding tax upon distribution of profits earned by the PRC entities since 1 January 2008 at 5%. At the end of the reporting period, deferred taxation of HK$2,602,000 (2015: HK$2,815,000) has been provided for in the consolidated financial statements in respect of the temporary differences attributable to such profits.

The fair value of the Group’s investment properties as at 30 June 2016 and 2015 has been arrived at on the basis of valuations carried out on that dates by Savills Valuation and Professional Services Limited, an independent firm of qualified professional valuers not connected with the Group with appropriate qualification and recent experience in the valuation of similar properties in the relevant locations. The valuation was arrived at by reference to property listings for similar properties in the same location and conditions or where appropriate by considering the capitalised income to be derived from the existing tenancies and the reversionary income potential of the properties. The revaluation gave rise to a net gain arising from increase in fair value of HK$83,076,000 (2015: HK$57,224,000) which has been credited to profit or loss. All the investment properties are situated in the PRC.
The investment properties of the Group held under operating leases to earn rentals or for capital appreciation purposes are measured using the fair value model for both years.
10. INTEREST IN A JOINT VENTURE/AMOUNT DUE FROM A JOINT VENTURE
| Cost of investment, unlisted (Note) Share of post-acquisition losses and reserves Amount due from a joint venture |
2016 HK$’000 136,345 (64,775) 71,570 235,184 |

Note:
The Group had lodged petitions for international arbitrations in respect of the dispute with the Chinese joint venture partner as to the percentages of equity interest held in Shenzhen Zhen Wah Harbour Enterprises Ltd. (“ Zhen Wah ”) in prior years. Two arbitral proceedings were heard and two arbitral awards were made by China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission in 2008 and 2010.
Before the arbitrations, the Group injected RMB42,840,000 as investment cost to Zhen Wah, representing 80% of equity interests in Zhen Wah. Pursuant to the arbitral award in 2008, the registered capital of Zhen Wah was confirmed to be RMB21,000,000, of which RMB10,290,000 and RMB10,710,000 were contributed by the Group and the Chinese joint venture partner, respectively, and that the equity interests of Zhen Wah were held by the Group and the Chinese joint venture partner as to 49% and 51%, respectively. The additional capital contribution of RMB32,550,000 by the Group was considered as advances to Zhen Wah by the Group.
– 11 –
Also, the arbitral award in 2010 supported the distribution of profit arising from income generated from a piece of land held by Zhen Wah located in Tung Kok Tau, Shenzhen, the PRC before re-development entitled by the Group should be 80%.
The assets and liabilities of Zhen Wah were deconsolidated and the Group’s share of net assets and results in Zhen Wah had been accounted for as a joint venture under the equity method based on the Group’s 49% equity interest in Zhen Wah since the year ended 30 June 2009.
The distribution of profit arising from income was accounted for under the equity method based on the Group’s 49% equity interest in Zhen Wah. The additional share of 31% up to 30 June 2016 which has not been recognised by the Group amounted to HK$10,368,000 (2015: HK$10,368,000), as the Directors of the Company consider the result of the arbitration is subject to the agreement of the Chinese joint venture partner.
Zhen Wah is a sino-foreign equity joint venture company and indirectly held by the Company. The Group is able to exercise 50% voting power in the joint venture, which is determined by the proportion of the Group’s representatives in the board of directors of Zhen Wah. The operation period of Zhen Wah expired on 16 January 2014. Both joint venture partners of Zhen Wah have determined not to extend its operation period and an application was lodged to compulsorily liquidate Zhen Wah during the year. PRC court accepted the application for compulsory liquidation of Zhen Wah in July 2016.
Based on the PRC laws and regulations and the related interpretations by an external PRC legal counsel engaged by the Group, after the expiry of the operation period and even under liquidation process, the legal identity of Zhen Wah still exists and the net assets of Zhen Wah will be distributed to the joint venture partners based on their equity contributions after the completion of the liquidation. The Directors of the Company expect that the liquidation process is not expected to complete within one year.
The amount due from a joint venture is unsecured and to be repayable after the next twelve months from the end of the reporting period. The amount is carried at amortised cost at an effective interest rate of 6% (2015: 6%) per annum.
The Directors of the Company have assessed the recoverability of interest in a joint venture and amount due from a joint venture amounting to HK$71,570,000 and HK$235,184,000, respectively as at 30 June 2016. Based on the latest financial information and fair value of prepaid lease payments of Zhen Wah, the Directors of the Company have concluded that the amounts will be recoverable.
11. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
At 30 June 2016, the balance of other receivables include receivables from home buyers who defaulted on repayment to banks, representing the loans taken over by the Group, of HK$46,000 (2015: HK$77,000) which are measured at amortised cost at an effective interest rate of 6.15% (2015: 6.15%) per annum. For property sales, the Group allows an average credit period of 30 days (2015: 30 days) to the buyers. Rentals receivable from tenants and service income receivables from customers are payable on presentation of invoices.
The following is an aged analysis of trade receivables of HK$11,794,000 (2015: HK$11,435,000) net of allowance for doubtful debt of HK$3,443,000 (2015: HK$3,731,000) presented based on invoice date at the end of the reporting period:
| 0–60 days 61–90 days More than 90 days |
2016 HK$’000 8,074 – 277 8,351 |
2015 HK$’000 7,288 396 20 |

Before accepting any new customer, the Group carries out assessment on the creditability of the new customer and assesses the potential customer’s credit quality and defines credit limits by customer. Limits attributed to customers are reviewed regularly. 71% (2015: 85%) of the trade receivables are neither past due nor impaired and have good settlement repayment history.

PROSPECTS
Looking ahead, the economy in China will continue to be in slower but more resilient growth, taken account of official stimulus policy and weakening RMB under global economic uncertainty. It is anticipated that it will increasingly shift towards a higher value-added economy such as the services industry and domestic consumption, bolstering leasing demand of office and retail sectors.
In Beijing, the launch of huge prime shopping areas, strong competition from on-line retail sales, sluggish luxury market and Chinese tendency of overseas purchase will continue to decelerate rental growth of retail market. Mid-range and mass-market retailers are expected to remain the major demand driver. And the Group will continue to strategically optimize midrange brand portfolio and retailer mix as well as massive marketing campaigns and promotion activities, in line with shoppers’ need and lifestyle for sustaining high occupancy rate and constant revenue to the Group.
In Shanghai, it is expected that office market in Pudong as financial hub will remain buoyant with active leasing demand from finance and professional sectors, despite impending glut of premier office supply, infrastructural construction nearby Eton Place and full implementation of value-added tax since 1 May 2016. To maintain high occupancy rate and steady recurring revenue, the Group will continue to strive for retention and expansion of existing quality tenants and target on small- and medium-sized domestic quality tenants for new leases at competitive rental strategies.
The 49% interests of the Company in Zhen Wah is an important investment of the Group in view of the improving infrastructure and upgrading surrounding area of the Land. Shareholders should be assured that the Company has been adopting and will continue to adopt the best available measures with a view to protecting the Company’s interests in the context of the compulsory liquidation of Zhen Wah.
