The total loss resulting from the disposal of PHAShanghai Classic Wine and Food Co., Ltd included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income amounted to $171,088.

11. Public Holdings (Australia) Limited does not have an interest in associates or joint ventures.

12. No additional significant information is considered necessary for an investor to make an informed assessment of the entity's financial performance and financial position other than as provided in this report.

13. Public Holdings (Australia) Limited is not a foreign entity.

14. The Company continues to invest in interest-bearing deposits and listed securities. Concerns about rising government deficits, downgrades for European sovereign debts, and pace of economic recovery are some of the major factors that have caused the stock market to be very volatile in 2010. The Company has taken a conservative approach in securities investment. The realised profit from securities investment was $178,865 and $219,242 for the years 2009 and 2010 respectively.

Despite efforts made for the scale-down of the wine distribution operation and for rebuilding of its sales force, the business results of PHA-Shanghai Classic Wine & Food Co. Ltd. (PHA SC) remained unsatisfactory. As a result, the Board decided to sell PHA SC in December 2010 in order to avoid incurring any further loss on this business. A loss on disposal of PHA SC amounted $171,088 was accounted for in the 2010 consolidated financial statements of the Group.

The Directors of the Company will continue to seek other opportunities that will enhance the value of its assets.

15. This report is based on consolidated financial statements that are in the process of being audited.

Public Holdings (Australia) Limited and Controlled Entities A.B.N 65 000 332 918

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2010

This financial report includes the consolidated financial statements and notes of Public Holdings (Australia) Limited and controlled entities ('Consolidated Group').

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001.

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars.

a) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Public Holdings (Australia) Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Public Holdings (Australia) Limited has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity's activities. Control will generally exist when the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also considered.

Where controlled entities have entered or left the Consolidated Group during the year, the financial performance of those entities are included only for the period of the year that they were controlled. A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 17 to the financial statements.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-company balances and transactions between entities in the Consolidated Group, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those policies applied by the Parent Entity.

b) Income Tax

The income tax expenses for the year comprises current income tax expense and deferred tax expense.

Current income tax expense charged to profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting period. Current tax liabilities are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to the relevant taxation authority.

A.B.N 65 000 332 918

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2010

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

b) Income Tax (Continued)

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses.

Current and deferred income tax expense is charged or credited outside profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are recognised outside profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rate enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective assets and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

c) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

d) Trade and Other Receivables

Trade receivables, which generally have 30-90 days terms, are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectible amounts.

An allowance for doubtful debts is made when there is objective evidence that the Consolidated Group will not be able to collect the debts. Bad debts are written off when identified.

A.B.N 65 000 332 918

Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2010

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

e) Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets is depreciated on a diminishing value basis over their useful lives to the Consolidated Group commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable assets are:

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate
Office Equipment 15-40%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

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 proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

f) Financial Instruments

Recognition and initial measurement

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Consolidated Group commits itself to either the purchase or sale of the asset.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs, except where the instrument is classified 'at fair value through profit or loss', in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

f) Financial Instruments (Continued)

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not suitable to be classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or they are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.

Available-for-sale financial assets are included in non-current assets, except for those which are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Fair value

Fair value is determined based on current bid prices for all quoted investments.

Impairment

At the end of each reporting period, the Consolidated Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

g) Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the Consolidated Group reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Consolidated Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

h) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the Consolidated Group’s entities is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which that entity operates. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars which is the Parent Entity’s functional and presentation currency.

h) Foreign Currency Transactions and Balances (Continued)

Transaction and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Nonmonetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.

Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognised directly in equity to the extent that the gain or loss is directly recognised in equity, otherwise the exchange difference is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Group companies

The financial results and position of foreign operations whose functional currency is different from the Consolidated Group’s presentation currency are translated as follows:

  • assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates prevailing at that reporting date; - income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period; and

  • retained profits are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are transferred directly to the Consolidated Group’s foreign currency translation reserve in the consolidated statement of financial position. These differences are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the period in which the operation is disposed.

i) Trade and Other Payables

Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for goods and services received by the Consolidated Group during the reporting period which remains unpaid. The balance is recognised as a current liability, except for those which are not expected to settle within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

j) Employee Benefits

Provision for annual leave and long service leave has not been made as the Consolidated Group has no obligation to pay at the end of the reporting period.

k) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial position.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

l) Revenue and Other Income

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Consolidated Group and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable after taking into account any trade discounts and volume rebated allowed. Any consideration deferred is treated as the provision of finance and is discounted at a rate of interest that is generally accepted in the market for similar arrangements. The difference between the amount initially recognised and the amount ultimately received is interest revenue.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers.

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been established.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

m) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the consolidated statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.

Cash flows are presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

n) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Consolidated Group.

Key estimates

Impairment

The Consolidated Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluation of conditions and events specific to the Consolidated Group that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed using value-in-use calculations, which incorporate various key assumptions.

Key judgments

Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets

The Consolidated Group evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its cost, and the financial health of and near-term business outlook for the investee, including factors such as industry and sector performance, change in technology and operational and financing cash flow. This evaluation requires significant judgment.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

n) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments (Continued)

Key judgments (Continued)

Impairment of trade receivables

The Consolidated Group makes impairment based on an assessment of the recoverability of trade receivables. Impairment is made when there are events or changes in circumstances which indicate that the balances may not be collectible. The identification of doubtful receivables requires the use of judgments and estimates. Where the expectation on the recoverability of trade receivables is different from the original estimate, such difference will impact the carrying value of trade receivables and impairment expenses in the year in which such estimate has been changed.

Impairment of inventories

The Consolidated Group makes impairment of inventories based on assessment of the net realisable value of existing inventories. Impairment is made if there is an indication that the net realisable value of inventories is lower than the cost. Calculation of net realisable value requires the use of judgments and estimates.

Extinguishment of payables and accruals

The Consolidated Group extinguishes payables and accruals based on the assessment whether the Consolidated Group is still liable for the payables and accruals. Extinguishment is made when there are events or changes in circumstances which indicate that the balances may not be liable. The assessment requires the use of judgments and estimates.

A deferred tax asset has not been recognised in respect of the carry forward of unused tax losses.

The benefit for tax losses will only be obtained if: - the company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the losses to be realised;

  • the company continues to comply with the conditions for deductibility imposed by tax legislation; and

  • no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the company in realising the benefit from the deductions for the losses.
