As a result, the sales falling trend stopped. In the report period, the Company realized sales of FIYTA watches amounting to RMB 107,962 thousand, a 12.28% growth over the previous year. In addition, the product honorably ranked “the first in sales among the products of the same kind in China” for successively nine years granted by the Industrial Information Statistics Center of the State Statistical Bureau.

In addition, in the report period, Guangdong Province, Shenzhen City and Futian District Governments rewarded RMB 3.8 million cash for honoring FIYTA being “China Top Brand Product” and “China Renowned Trademark”. The Company produced first pilot watches for fighter pilots of China Air Force. On October 15, 2003, China’s first spaceflight watch developed by the Company traveled in the universe together with Shenzhou-5 Manned Spacecraft and fulfilled successfully the mission. Therefore, FIYTA has become the third spaceflight watch following OMEAG and FORTIS made in Switzerland. This historical event shall greatly promote FIYTA Brand to be upgraded unceasingly.

The Company has further laid a sound foundation for sustainable and healthy development of the Company’s watch industry by enhancing the assets management, regulating work process, upgrading the front service quality and practicing overall training of the whole staff.

  1. Harmony World Watches Center The Company enhanced the investment and management of the chain shops of Harmony World Watches Center, timely regulated the shop management throughout the country, and tried best to create a world top brand watches marketing platform. Ended the report period, the Company had opened 18 chain shops in different big and medium cities of the country. In the report period, the Company realized sales of top brand watches amounting to RMB 99,683 thousand, a 46.48% growth over the same period of the previous year; and realized a net profit amounting to RMB 1,908 thousand.

  2. Property Operation In 2003, FIYTA Building adjusted tenants, from which, the Company realized a income amounting to RMB 14,768 thousand, a 11.45% growth over the previous year. It is predicted that after the Company moves into the newly constructed Hi-tech Building in 2004, the vacated property shall surely bring about more

15

income to the Company.

  1. Hi-tech Building FIYTA Hi-tech Industrial Building located in Shenzhen Hi-tech Park passed the completion examination on December 25, 2003. The indoor decoration is still going on. The investment invitation and project verification work is in process in an orderly way. It is predicted that the building shall contribute certain profit to the Company in 2004.

  2. Industrial Restructuring According to the Company’s business plan at the beginning of the year with the principle of “tidying out the non-principal businesses and putting emphasis on the specialization strategy”, the Company has decided to remove some subsidiaries with bad operation situation and weak earning capacity. By the end of the report period, the Company had finished the disposal and transfer of three catering subsidiaries, namely Xi’an Fine Food and Entertainment City Co., Ltd. (restaurant business), Shenzhen Pengmen Restaurant Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Xianmen Restaurant Co., Ltd. The Company has completely withdrawn from the catering sector. In addition, the Company has also sorted out two industrial enterprises - Shenzhen Tianfu Electronics Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Feitu New Technology Development Co. This work shall be helpful to the Company in focusing on the principal business.

In the report period, the income form the principal businesses was RMB 228,133 thousand, a 3.94% growth over the same period of the previous year. The main reason is that the Company had wound-up and transferred its catering subsidiaries; as a result, the income from the catering sector was only 5,063 thousand, decreased by 31,134 thousand, or dropped by 86.01% over the same period of the previous year; while the income from the retail of top brand watches increased by RMB 31,632 thousand, or increased by 46.48% over the same period of the previous period. In comparison to the year 2002, as the overall disposal of the potential deficit-making assets caused big losses, the total profit realized in 2003 was RMB 5,708 and net profit was RMB 5,088 thousand. However, the increase of reserve provided for devaluation of partial subsidiaries caused the profit of the whole year lower than the amount ad disclosed in the 3[rd] quarter. In addition, the big increase of sales costs and overhead expenses arising form marketing and personnel training caused loss in operation profit and the net profit less the incidental losses/gains in the year 2003.

Affected by increase of the operation expenditures, the net cash flow arising from the business activities was RMB-11,746 thousand. Due to increase of earnings in the report period, the Company’s total assets at the end of the report period was RMB 572,847 thousand and shareholders’ equity was RMB 515,456 thousand which increased slightly by 1.09% and 1.00% respectively over the same period of the previous year.

4. Problems and difficulties occurred in operation and their solutions

(1) China’s timepiece production capacity exceeds the market demand and great quantity of imported watches are increasingly entering the Chinese market. The competition of this sector is extraordinarily intense. Meanwhile, watches of different brands are approaching the similar quality. As a result, the Company’s watch sales

18

income has not grown at a big margin and the operation on the short term basis is not highly profitable.

(2) For the purpose of reversing the falling trend of sales over the past years and reinforcing the brand construction, in the report period, the Company increased the promotion expenses, which somewhat impacted the short term profit. Meanwhile, the Company carried out such fundamental work as investigation on customers, which caused increase on expenditure on short term basis.

To deal with the principal problems and difficulties in 2003, the Company took a series of powerful measures:

(1) Through cooperation with domestic renowned consulting companies, the Company conducted the first systematic customer investigation in China’s watch industry. The research results became reliable basis for the Company in determining the brand strategy, reinforcing product research and development, management of product varieties, and exploring the way of improving the Company’s marketing model.

(3) The Company insisted on the guideline of meeting the customers’ requirements. Reinforced the R & D work of new products, and made full use of the fund rewarded by the government for encouragement and brought it into full in the Company’s technology center. In the report year, the Company completed the development of the pilot watches and China’s first spaceflight watch, and successfully held “FIYTA Cup Watch Design” among several ten universities and colleges throughout China jointly with Tsinghua University.

(4) The Company updated FIYTA Brand Identity by means of strategic advertisement launching, improved the promotion model and developed new sales channels, including TVSN, e-commerce, which have all proved successful progressively.

  • (2) Accounting Policies, Change in Accounting Estimation and Correction of Material Accounting Errors

① Commencing July 1, 2003, the Company has been using the revised the Enterprise Accounting Standard – Post Balance Sheet Events. Before using the said standard, cash dividend was stated as liability when it was transferred out from shareholders’ interests during preparation of the profit distribution proposal by the Board of Directors. Since July 1, 2003, the cash dividend has been stated as liability during approval of the profit distribution proposal by the shareholders’ general meeting. The change in the accounting policy arising from use of the said standard is adjusted in a retroactive way. As a result, the undistributed profit amounting to RMB 12,465,900 as of December 31, 2001 was adjusted.

② In the report period, the Company found that the interest income amounting to MRB 2.3184 million from the fund deposited with the Financial Clearing Center of CATIC Shenzhen Corporation in 2002 exceeded the interest income from the 1-year term bank deposit by RMB 738,757 which was all used to offset the financial expenses of the very period instead of being stated in the capital public reserve. The Company has made correction of this accounting error and made retroactive adjustment of the relevant data in the report year. As a result of the said correction, the net loss as of the year 2002 increased by RMB 738,757 and the accumulative loss and the capital public reserve as of January 1, 2003 increased by RMB 738,757 after the retroactive adjustment.

V. Influence from significant changes in the production and operation environment, macro policy, laws and regulations

  1. Since implementation of CEPA between Mainland China and Hong Kong, timepieces made in Hong Kong can enjoy zero tariff treatment in the domestic market, which shall cause impact upon the timepiece industry of Mainland China. On the other hand, however, this policy shall also be favorable for the Company to make full use of the marketing platform of Harmony Top Brand Watches Chain Shops, enhance external exchange and cooperation, share the advantages of Hong Kong timepiece industry in terms of design, marketing and information and realize the Company’s operation strategy. Therefore, the impact from this policy upon the Company’s operation is quite limited.

  2. Pursuant to the regulations of the state and Shenzhen concerning adjustment of tax policy, commencing January 1, 2003, the preferential policy on output VAT for the products made in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone was terminated, which has produced some impact upon the Company’s net profit. The net amount stated in the non-operating income of the Company’s subsidiaries resulted from the said preferential VAT policy on the output VAT in 2002 was RMB 4.95 million. The net profit impacted by termination of the said preferential VAT policy in the year 2003 is predicted to be RMB 6.46 million.

V. Business Development Plan of New Year

For 2004, the Company shall seize the opportunity of improving macro economy, positively meet the competition in the timepiece industry, insist on the work principle of “promoting development of the principal industry, enhancing brand promotion, constructing high-efficiency team and improving overall performances”, further concentrate the teamwork force, pool the wisdom and efforts of everyone, focus on the principal business with the two brands FIYTA and HARMONY, and improve the operating income and profit-making ability.

SHENZHEN FIYTA HOLDINGS LIMITED (Joint stock limited company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China)

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION (Cont’d)

  • (a) This subsidiary sold out all assets related to catering and entertainment business during the year and ceased the operations before year end.

  • (b) Effective from 1 January 2003, the Company has obtained substantial control over the joint venture’s operation (Note15). As a result, its results and assets have been consolidated in the Group’s financial statement since 2003.

  • (c) Three subsidiaries, Shanghai Tian Lin Xianmen Restaurant Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Pengmen Restaurant Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Tianfu Electronics Co., Ltd., were sold during the year (Notes 33 and 34).

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain fixed assets, non-current investments and trading investments. This basis of accounting differs from that used in the statutory accounts of the PRC Group companies which are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and the relevant financial regulations applicable to enterprises in the PRC. The differences arising from the restatement of the results of operations for compliance with IFRS are reflected in these consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current event and actions, actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates.

3. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below:

(a) Consolidation

Subsidiary undertakings, which are those companies in which the Group, directly or indirectly, has an interest of more than one half of the voting rights or otherwise has power to govern the financial and operating policies are consolidated. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are presently exercise are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are no longer consolidated from the date that control ceases. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Minority interests represent the interests of outside members in the operating results and net assets of subsidiaries.

SHENZHEN FIYTA HOLDINGS LIMITED (Joint stock limited company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China)

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

  2. (b) Investments in joint ventures

Joint ventures are entities over which the Group has joint control. Investments in jointly controlled entities are accounted for by the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the Group ’ s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of joint ventures is recognised in the income statement and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the cost of the investment. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group ’ s interest in the joint ventures; unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. The Group ’ s investment in joint ventures includes goodwill (net of accumulated amortisation) on acquisition. When the Group ’ s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the joint venture, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless the Group has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint ventures.

A listing of the Group ’ s joint venture is shown in Note 15.

(c) Related party

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party, or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

  • (d) Foreign currency translation

(1) Measurement currency

Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency that best reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to that entity (“the measurement currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is the measurement currency of the Company.

  • (2) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the measurement currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are recognised in the income statement.

(f) Investments

The Group classified its investments into the following categories: trading, held-to-maturity and available-for sale. The classification is dependent on the purpose for which the investment were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at the time of the purchase and re-evaluates such designation on a regular basis.

Investments that are acquired principally for the purpose of generating a profit from short-term fluctuations in price are classified as trading investments and included in current assets; for the purpose of these financial statements, short-term is defined as three months. Investments with a fixed maturity that management has the intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are included in non-current assets, except for maturities within 12 months from the balance sheet date which are classified as current assets.

Investments intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, which may be sold in response to needs for liquidity or changes in interest rates, are regarded as available-for-sale and are classified as non-current investments unless management has the express intention of holding the investment for less than twelve months from the balance sheet date or unless they will need to be sold to raise operating capital, in which case they are included in current assets.

Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the trade date, which is the date that the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Cost of purchase includes transaction costs. Trading and non-current investments are subsequently carried at fair value. Held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective yield method. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of trading investments are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise. For the held-to-maturity investments, the gain or loss shall be amortised to income statement over the remaining life of the held-to-maturity investment using the effective interest method. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of available for sale are recognized in equity.

The fair value of investments is based on quoted market prices or amounts derived from cash flow models. Fair values for unlisted equity securities are estimated using applicable price/earnings or price/cash flow ratios refined to reflect the specific circumstances of the issuer. Equity securities for which fair values cannot be measured reliably are recognised at cost less impairment.

(g) Investment properties

Investment properties, principally comprising office buildings, are held for long-term rental yields and are not occupied by the Group. Investment properties are treated as long-term investments and are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method to write off the cost of the investment properties over their estimated useful lives which are between 20 and 35 years, after deducting the estimated residual value. Where the carrying amount of an investment property is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount.

The cost of maintenance, repairs and minor equipment is charged to the income statement as incurred; the cost of major renovations and improvements is capitalised. The gain or loss on disposal of an investment property is recognised with reference to its carrying value.

  2. (h) Fixed assets and depreciation

Fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use.

Independent valuations are performed periodically. The latest valuation was conducted on buildings on an open market value basis and equipment and machinery on a replacement cost basis at 31 December 2002. In the intervening period, the directors review the carrying value of the fixed assets and adjustment is made where in the director’s opinion there has been a material change in value. Increases in valuation are credited to revaluation reserve. Decreases in valuation are first offset against increases on earlier valuations in respect of the same fixed asset and are thereafter debited to operating profit. Any subsequent increases are credited to operating profit up to the amount previously debited.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to write off the cost of each asset, or its revalued amount, to its estimated residual value over its estimated useful life as follows:

Buildings 20 - 35 years
Equipment and machinery 5 - 10 years

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the remaining period of the lease or beneficial period.

Where the carrying amount of a fixed asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount.

Gains or losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds and the carrying amount and are included in the income statement.

Repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. The cost of major renovations is included in the carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that the future economic benefits in excess of the originally assessed standard of performance of the existing asset will flow to the Group. Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset.

  • (i) Leasehold land payments

Leasehold land payments are up-front payments to acquire a long term interest in land. These payments are stated at cost and amortised over the period of lease on a straight-line basis.

  • (j) Construction in progress

Construction in progress represents properties under construction and plant and equipment under installation or testing, is stated at cost, which includes the costs of construction, the costs of buildings, machinery and equipment and interest charges arising from borrowings used to finance these assets during the period of construction or installation and testing. When the assets concerned are brought into use, the costs are transferred to fixed assets and depreciated in accordance with the policy as stated above.

  2. (k) Impairment of long lived assets

Fixed assets and other non-current assets are reviewed for impairment losses 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 carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount which is the higher of an asset’s net selling price 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.

(l) Operating leases

Leases where substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets remain with the lessors are accounted for as operating leases.

  • (1) Where the Group is the lessee

Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

  • (2) Where the Group is the lessor

Assets leased out under operating bases are included in fixed assets or investment properties in the balance sheet. They are depreciated over their expected useful lives on a basis consistent with similar fixed assets or investment properties. Rental income (net of any incentives given to lessees) is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Group has no finance leases.

(m) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average basis. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity) but excludes borrowing costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion and selling expenses.

(n) Trade receivables

Trade receivables are carried at original invoiced amount less provision made for impairment of these receivables.

A provision for impairments of trade receivables is established when there is an objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount, being the present value of expected cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest for similar borrowers.

(p) Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs incurred.

Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost using the effective yield method; any difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings.

(q) Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises substantially sales of goods which are recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have been transferred to customers. Sales amounts are shown at invoiced amounts net of discounts and value-added tax.

Service revenue is recognised when the service has been rendered and the entitlement to the service consideration has been established.

Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable.

Dividend income is recognised when the Group’s right to receive payment is established.

Rental income is recognised on an accrual basis.

(r) Employee social insurance schemes

The Group participates in certain employee social insurance schemes in respect of pension, and medical and other insurance managed by governmental organisations. According to the relevant provisions, the Group and its employees are required to make contributions to Social Security Administration Bureau at specified amounts. The proportion of insurance expenses borne by the Group is included in the consolidated operating results when incurred.

The Group has no further liabilities other than the above defined contribution. The Group’s contributions to the defined contribution schemes are charged to income statement as when incurred.

(s) Government grants relating to purchase of property, plant and equipment

Government grants relating to the purchase of property, plant and equipment are included in non-current liabilities as other liabilities and are credited to the income statement on a straight line basis over the expected lives of the related assets.

25. RESERVES

According to the Company Laws of the PRC and the Company’s Articles of Association, the Company is required to provide certain statutory reserves, which are appropriated from the net profit as reported in the statutory accounts. The Company shall set aside 10% of its net profit for statutory common reserve fund (until it has reached 50% of the Company’s registered capital) and 5% to 10% for the statutory public welfare fund. Further appropriations from the net profit may be made to the discretionary common reserve fund upon approval by shareholders. The common reserve funds cannot be used for purposes other than those for which they are created without the prior approval by shareholders under certain conditions and are not distributed as cash dividends. The statutory public welfare fund is designated for collective welfare of the employees.

The statutory common reserve fund, discretionary common reserve fund and capital reserve fund as approved by shareholders can be converted into share capital provided that the balance of the statutory common reserve fund does not fall below 25% of the registered share capital after conversion.

No appropriations to the statutory common reserve fund and statutory public welfare fund were proposed for the year ended 31 December 2003 as the statutory accounts of the Company has no distributable profit at year end.

During the year ended 31 December 2003, the Company obtained government grants in relation to the purchase of machine and equipment amounting to Rmb3,000,000 from the local municipal government.

The grants were recorded as deferred income in the balance sheet and to be credited to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of the related assets. Because these grants will be recorded in the capital reserve under PRC accounting regulation in the statutory financial statements, when the related assets are purchased, the amount equivalent to amortisation of deferred income would be transferred from retained earnings to capital reserve in the same year the deferred income is recognised. As at 31 December 2003, the grants have not been used for purchase of machine and equipment by the Company.
