WWPKG Holdings Company Limited
Chairman’s Statement
Dear Shareholders
On behalf of the board of Directors (the “Board”) of WWPKG Holdings Company Limited (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”), I am pleased to present the annual results of the Group for the financial year ended 31 March 2017 (the “Year 2017”).
BUSINESS REVIEW
Founded in 1979, the Group is one of the long-established and well-known travel agents in Hong Kong. The Group markets its travel related products under the brand “縱橫遊”. Our businesses include (i) the design, development and sales of package tours; (ii) the sales of air tickets and hotel accommodations (“FIT products”); and (iii) the sales of ancillary travel related products and services. Our major business is the provision of outbound package tours to various destinations with particular focus on Japan bound tours.
During the Year 2017, the Group faced considerable challenges arisen from the Kumamoto earthquake occurred in April 2016, the continuous appreciation of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong Dollars between April 2016 and September 2016, as well as the vigorous competition from online agencies and booking platforms of airlines and hotels. The Group recorded a total revenue of approximately HK$390.8 million in the Year 2017 (2016: HK$452.6 million), representing a decrease of 13.6%, as compared to last year. Notwithstanding the macro-economic factors, the Year 2017 marked a significant year for the Group’s development history:
-
The shares of the Company (the “Shares”) were successfully listed on GEM of the Stock Exchange (the “Listing”) by way of placing and public offer (collectively, the “Share Offer”) on 12 January 2017 (the “Listing Date”), representing a substantial milestone for the Group. The listing status not only provides the Company a platform to gain access to one of the world’s major capital markets, but also enhances the Group’s reputation and brand awareness.
-
The Group’s new online sales platform was launched in stages during the Year 2017. Our customers were able to (i) make booking of package tours and purchase certain ancillary travel related products and services; (ii) purchase air tickets; and (iii) purchase hotel accommodations beginning in April, August and December 2016 respectively. A number of further major enhancements to the online sales platform and the implementation of a mobile application software are in progress or in the pipeline.
-
As a result of the Group’s tremendous efforts in developing and promoting high quality products and professional travel services, in particular Japan bound package tours, we received the travel ambassador award presented by The Dragon Route Promotion Council of Japan for promoting tourism in Shoryudo (the area of nine prefectures in Chubu and Hokuriku regions of Japan) and the plaque of appreciation presented by the Aomori Prefectural Government of Japan.
During the Year 2017, much efforts were spent to promote our brand recognition and awareness. In April 2016 and November 2016, the Group sponsored two series of television travel programme, which received positive review. Following such success, the host of the television travel programme was appointed as our spokesperson. During the Chinese New Year period in 2017, our spokesperson made a guest appearance by participating in a luxurious fiveday hot spring and gourmet tour in Mie Prefecture of Japan operated by the Group, which received another great acclamation. In August 2016, the Group launched a two-year digital marketing campaign to promote its brand and travel products through various online social medium and search engines to reach out to wider spectrum of potential customers.
Annual Report 2016/2017 3
Chairman’s Statement
PROSPECTS
We will continue to focus on marketing efforts to enhance our brand awareness and popularity of our products through digital marketing and traditional advertising. In view of the keen competition from online agencies, booking platforms of hotels, budget airlines and other competitors, we will continue to optimise our business platform, including the Group’s online sales platform. We will continue our efforts in exploring new routes with airline suppliers to less touched areas particularly in Japan. For existing tours, we will keep on refining them with new itineraries, activities and hotel accommodations with the view to bringing better travel experience to our customers.
APPRECIATION
On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to all of our business partners, customers and shareholders of the Company (the “Shareholders”) for their support. I would also like to thank our management team and staff for their hard work and contribution. With the unfailing faith and effort of our staff of all levels, I have every confidence that the Group will be able to create more values for our investors, and delightful travel experiences for our customers.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
REVENUE AND GROSS PROFIT
The following table sets out the Group’s revenue and gross profit by major category of products/services:

----- End of picture text -----
Note: The Group’s revenue from sales of FIT products and ancillary travel related products and services are recognised on net basis as the Group renders its services as an agent.
Package tours
The Group’s revenue from sales of package tours decreased by 13.9% from approximately HK$443.9 million for the year ended 31 March 2016 to approximately HK$382.1 million for the Year 2017. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to the decline in sales of Japan bound tours during the first half of the Year 2017 by 23.2% as a result of (i) the negative impact of the Kumamoto earthquake occurred in April 2016; (ii) the fact that the continued appreciation of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong Dollars between April 2016 and September 2016 coupled with the intense competition within the industry, particularly from online agencies and booking platforms of airlines and hotels which are introducing aggressive marketing campaigns and promotion programmes, have reduced the demand of customers who are cost conscious for the Group’s package tours bound for Japan; and (iii) that in view of the decreased demand and the fierce industry competition, the Group adjusted downward the selling prices of its Japan bound tours in order to attract customers. Tours bound for Japan accounted for 84.6% (2016: 84.4%) of the Group’s total revenue from package tours for the Year 2017. Hence, the appreciation of the Japanese Yen during the aforementioned period, which increased the Group’s land costs (as part of its cost of sales which included hotel tariffs, transportation costs, meal expenses and admission ticket costs) per customer, and the Group’s downward adjustment of selling prices of its Japan bound tours during the first half of the Year 2017 also exerted pressure on the gross profit of the Group.
FIT products
FIT products generally include air tickets, hotel accommodations and combination of both. The Group’s revenue from the sales of FIT products decreased from approximately HK$4.0 million for the year ended 31 March 2016 to approximately HK$2.7 million for the Year 2017 mainly due to keen competition from online agencies, booking platforms of hotels and budget airlines, as well as the fact that the Group’s new online sales platform, one of the key purposes for which is to cater for the increasing trend of booking air tickets and hotel accommodations online, was not fully launched until December 2016 and was subject to further major enhancements.

Annual Report 2016/2017
Management Discussion and Analysis
Ancillary travel related products and services
Ancillary travel related products and services mainly include travel insurance, admission tickets to attractions such as theme parks and shows, local transportation such as airport transportation, railway tickets and transportation passes. The Group’s revenue from the sales of ancillary travel related products and services increased from approximately HK$4.7 million for the year ended 31 March 2016 to approximately HK$6.0 million for the Year 2017 mainly due to the increase in sales of Japan rail passes and margin income from insurance companies for the sales of travel insurance to customers.
SELLING EXPENSES
Selling expenses mainly consist of (i) advertising and promotion expenses, such as sponsoring television travel programmes and films, online and offline media advertisements, participating in tourism fairs and organising travel seminars; (ii) credit card and debit card charges in respect of payments from customers with credit cards and electronic payment services (EPS); and (iii) rental and related expenses for the Group’s branches.
Selling expenses increased by 8.2% from approximately HK$18.4 million for the year ended 31 March 2016 to approximately HK$19.9 million for the Year 2017 mainly due to the increase in the branches’ rental expenses particularly as a result of the Group’s expansion of its Shatin branch.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Administrative expenses mainly consist of (i) staff costs, representing the Directors’ remuneration and the salaries and benefits for the Group’s administrative staff; (ii) rental and related expenses for the Group’s office premises; (iii) office, telecommunication and utility expenses incurred in the Group’s daily operations; (iv) legal and professional fees; and (v) non-recurring listing expenses and other miscellaneous administrative expenses.
Administrative expenses increased by 41.5% from approximately HK$38.8 million for the year ended 31 March 2016 to approximately HK$54.9 million for the Year 2017 mainly due to the recognition of non-recurring listing expenses of approximately HK$15.0 million for the Year 2017 and the increase in discretionary bonuses awarded to the Group’s employees in recognition of their efforts and contributions during the Year 2017.
LOSS/PROFIT AND TOTAL COMPREHENSIVE LOSS/INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO OWNERS OF THE COMPANY
Profit and total comprehensive income attributable to owners of the Company decreased by 161.9% from a profit and total comprehensive income of approximately HK$23.1 million for the year ended 31 March 2016 to a loss and total comprehensive loss of approximately HK$14.3 million for the Year 2017 mainly due to (i) the decrease in gross profit of approximately HK$23.7 million because of the decrease in revenue and increase in cost of sales per customer for reasons as discussed in the sub-section headed “Revenue and gross profit” above; and (ii) the increase in administrative expenses of approximately HK$16.1 million for reasons as discussed in the sub-section headed “Administrative expenses” above.
Excluding the non-recurring listing expenses, the profit and total comprehensive income attributable to owners of the Company for the Year 2017 would be approximately HK$0.7 million.

The cash and bank balances of the Group were mainly denominated in Hong Kong Dollars, which accounted for 98.3% (2016: 94.0%) of the total balances.
As at 31 March 2017, the Group’s total current assets increased by 95.3% to approximately HK$175.4 million as compared to approximately HK$89.8 million as at 31 March 2016, mainly due to the net proceeds from the Share Offer received by the Company and the increase in trade deposits paid to airlines. As at 31 March 2017, the Group’s total current liabilities increased by 89.0% to approximately HK$63.3 million as compared to approximately HK$33.5 million as at 31 March 2016, mainly due to the increase in advanced receipts from customers as a result of the increase in enrolment for package tours operated during the peak Easter holidays in April 2017. The current ratio (current assets/current liabilities) as at 31 March 2017 was approximately 2.8 times, which was comparable to that as at 31 March 2016 (2.7 times).

Annual Report 2016/2017
Management Discussion and Analysis
SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS HELD AND MATERIAL ACQUISITIONS OR DISPOSALS OF SUBSIDIARIES
Save as the corporate reorganisation as disclosed in the prospectus of the Company dated 30 December 2016 (the “Prospectus”) and in this annual report, there were no significant investments, material acquisitions or disposals of subsidiaries by the Company during the Year 2017.
FUTURE PLANS FOR MATERIAL INVESTMENTS OR CAPITAL ASSETS
Save as disclosed in the Prospectus and in this report, the Group did not have other plans for material investments or capital assets as of 31 March 2017.
FOREIGN EXCHANGE EXPOSURE
The Group’s revenue was mainly denominated in Hong Kong Dollars. However, the settlement of substantial portion of its land costs, such as hotel tariffs, transportation costs, meal expenses and admission ticket costs, is denominated in Japanese Yen. The Group is therefore exposed to foreign exchange risk primarily with respect to Japanese Yen. The Group has implemented foreign exchange risk management procedures to manage exposure to foreign exchange risk in relation to Japanese Yen. The procedures were established to control the foreign exchange risk to an acceptable level by ensuring that the Group is able to obtain sufficient amount of Japanese Yen at acceptable exchange rates for meeting its payment obligations arising from business operations and at the same time do not purchase unnecessary amounts of Japanese Yen more than it requires. The purchase amounts were limited to the corresponding costs of the travel elements payable in Japanese Yen for the Japan bound tours for the coming four weeks (or eight weeks during peak seasons). Such amounts were estimated based on the actual enrolment data (i.e. headcount enrolled for the Group’s Japan bound tours) and the costs of travel elements payable in Japanese Yen per headcount, of which such costs were determined with reference to the historical spending and the effect of general inflation.
Although the Group may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts with major and reputable financial institutions and foreign currency services companies of long establishment history to manage its exposure to foreign exchange risk, it does not intend to speculate on the future direction of foreign exchange fluctuation. As at 31 March 2017, the Group had outstanding foreign exchange forward contracts denominated in Japanese Yen of notional principal amounts of approximately HK$4.8 million (2016: approximately HK$1.4 million). Management will continue to evaluate the Group’s foreign exchange risk management procedures and take actions as appropriate to minimise the Group’s exposure whenever necessary.
EMPLOYEES AND REMUNERATION POLICIES
As at 31 March 2017, the Group had a workforce of 159 employees (2016: 170), excluding the Directors. Salaries of employees are maintained at competitive levels. The Group operates a defined contribution mandatory provident fund scheme for all its employees. The Group also offers discretionary bonuses to its employees by reference to the performance of individual employees and the overall performance of the Group. Total employee benefits expenses, excluding Directors’ emoluments, incurred by the Group for the Year 2017 amounted to approximately HK$25.7 million (2016: approximately HK$24.0 million).
The Company has adopted a share option scheme on 16 December 2016 with a term of 10 years (the “Share Option Scheme”). The Share Option Scheme is designed to motivate eligible participants, including executives and key employees, who may make a contribution to the Group, and enables the Group to attract and retain individuals with
8 WWPKG Holdings Company Limited
==> picture [557 x 122] intentionally omitted <==
experience and ability and to reward them for their contributions. During the Year 2017, no share options had been granted, exercised, lapsed or cancelled under the Share Option Scheme. Details of the Share Option Scheme are set out in the section headed “Report of the Directors — Share Option Scheme” in this annual report.
The Group did not experience any significant labour disputes or substantial changes in the number of its employees that led to any disruption of its normal business operations during the Year 2017.
USE OF PROCEEDS
As stated in the section headed “Future Plans and Use of Proceeds” in the Prospectus, the Group intends to use the proceeds from the Share Offer (i) to promote its brand recognition and awareness; (ii) to strengthen and enhance its sales channels; (iii) to improve its operational efficiency; and (iv) for general corporate and working capital purposes.
The net proceeds received by the Company from the Share Offer, after deducting underwriting commissions and all related expenses, was approximately HK$57.0 million (the “Net Proceeds”), which were more than the estimated amounts stated in the Prospectus using mid-point of the indicative offer price range. Thus, the Company plans to apply the Net Proceeds on the same business strategic plans as stated in the Prospectus but with monetary adjustments to each business strategic plan on a pro rata basis. As at 31 March 2017, the unused Net Proceeds of approximately HK$52.3 million were deposited into a licensed bank in Hong Kong. The Company intends to continue to apply the remaining Net Proceeds in accordance with the proposed applications set out above.
During the Year 2017, the Net Proceeds had been utilised as follows:

Annual Report 2016/2017
Management Discussion and Analysis
DIVIDEND
The Board has proposed the payment of a final dividend of HK5.0 cents per Share for the Year 2017, totaling HK$20.0 million. All dividends will be paid in cash from accumulated funds generated from the Group’s operations. The Group will have sufficient funds for its future expansion after the payment of dividends.
The proposed final dividend of HK5.0 cents per Share will be payable to Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company on 8 September 2017. Subject to the approval of the relevant resolution at the forthcoming annual general meeting of the Company to be held on 30 August 2017 (the “AGM”), the final dividend will be payable on or about 22 September 2017.
OUTLOOK
The Shares were successfully listed on GEM of the Stock Exchange on the Listing Date. The Board considers that such public listing status will help to promote the Group to potential customers and enhance its corporate profile and credibility with the public and business partners. This in turn will strengthen the Group’s competitiveness and benefit its business performance and growth.
Going forward, with the Group’s long-established brand name, well-maintained business relationships with suppliers, ability to respond to adversities, and healthy net assets position, the Group will continue to execute its business strategy to expand both revenue streams and customer base in the following manners:
- Development of new routes, itineraries and activities
During the Year 2017, the Group successfully negotiated with its major airline supplier to develop a regular route to Komatsu, a new destination in Japan, as a result of which customers were able to experience new itineraries for Hokuriku and Chubu regions. The Group will continue its efforts in exploring new routes with airline suppliers to less touched areas particularly in Japan, so as to attract travellers of Hong Kong to new destinations in that country. The Group has also been appointed as the exclusive ticketing agency for Legoland Japan in Hong Kong, which opened in April 2017. For all of its existing tours, the Group will continue to refine and/or redesign its tours with new itineraries, activities and hotel accommodations with the view to bringing better travel experience to its customers.
- Revamp of website and incorporation of an integrated online sales platform
The Group’s progress in the revamp of its website and the incorporation of an integrated online sales platform has been on track. During the Year 2017, the Group’s customers were able to make booking of package tours and purchase air tickets, hotel accommodations and certain ancillary travel related products and services online. A number of further major enhancements to the online sales platform, in particular the FIT-air tickets module, the FIT-hotel accommodations module and the ancillary travel related products and services (當地享樂) module, are in progress or in the pipeline. These enhancements include (i) improvements on the content layout design and graphics display, (ii) refinements on search boxes, product selection fields and calendar view and eligibility
10 WWPKG Holdings Company Limited
==> picture [557 x 122] intentionally omitted <==
of non-member purchases, and (iii) addition of sales and marketing functions of promotion codes, online chat function and customer feedback survey. The Group also plans to implement its mobile application software. With the completion of the aforementioned enhancements and the future implementation of its mobile application software, the Group’s integrated online sales platform will be able to offer a wide range of products and will satisfy most of the travel needs of its customers as a user-friendly and informative one-stop shop. This will eventually distinguish the Group from most of the online agencies and booking platforms of airlines and hotels which generally only offer air ticket and/or hotel accommodation bookings.
— Focus on marketing efforts to raise brand awareness
In view of the increasing use of the internet for travel booking and in order to correspond with the introduction of the Group’s online sales platform, the Group launched a two-year digital marketing campaign in August 2016 to promote its brand and travel products through various online social medium and search engines. Continuing the momentum, the Group plans to boost its marketing efforts especially on digital marketing. Through advertising on social media and search engine marketing, the Group aims to increase online channel presence and online traffic and drive online inquiry to its product offerings. The Group plans to do so by building promotions for interested groups, developing special FIT products and package tours and building fans following from interested groups. Digital marketing will allow the Group to deliver its advertising messages directly to targeted group of potential customers and effectively push new promotions. The Group’s plan involves continuously tracking implementation and reviewing performance, and data accumulated will be used to develop look-alike audience and to retarget previously interest users with new attractive offers. The Group aims to digitally transform itself into a leader in local travel e-commerce in the future.
As discussed in the section headed “Chairman’s Statement — Business Review” in this annual report, the Group received positive reviews from its collaboration with its spokesperson, including the sponsorship of television travel programme hosted by the spokesperson and the spokesperson’s participation in the Group’s package tour, during the Year 2017. The Group plans to continue to collaborate with its spokesperson to raise the awareness of the Group’s brand and enhance the popularity of its products through travel television programme, social media and other conventional media advertisements such as newspapers and television commercials.
The Group will try its best endeavor to implement the above strategic initiatives that will enable the Group to grow and move forward.

Annual Report 2016/2017 25
Report of the Directors
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Group’s financial condition, results of operations, and business prospects may be affected by a number of risks and uncertainties directly or indirectly pertaining to the Group’s businesses. The following are the key risks and uncertainties identified by the Group.
Catastrophic events, political instability and issuance of any outbound travel alert
The Group’s operation is vulnerable to interruption and damage from natural disasters including snowstorms, typhoons, tornado, volcanic eruption, earthquakes, fire, floods and similar events. Occurrence of natural disasters may reduce customers’ sentiment to travel to those affected regions or countries since customers would generally perceive such occurrence as a risk that endangers their safety. For the same reason, occurrence of wars and acts or threats of terrorism, the outbreak or general apprehension of outbreak of any contagious or infectious disease and any material adverse change in the political and social situation in the destinations for which the Group’s tours are bound could reduce customers’ demand in travelling to those affected regions or countries. In addition, the issuance of an outbound travel alert by the government of Hong Kong as a result of any of the aforementioned events may defer the Group’s customers from travelling to the affected destination, which may adversely affect the Group’s business.
The Group’s continuing success depends on its reputation and brand recognition
The reputation of a travel agent is one of the major consideration for customers in their choice of travel agents. The Group believes its success in the past was largely dependent on its reputation and established brand built over the last 37 years of business. However, the Group’s reputation and brand may be damaged by various factors including adverse publicity, customers’ complaints over the Group’s products and services, misconduct or negligence committed by the Group’s employees or service providers and accidents during the tours giving rise to injuries to customers. The Group’s quality control system will not completely eliminate the risk of substandard quality or safety issues relating to its products and services. If customers are dissatisfied with the Group’s products or services or if incidents attracting adverse publicity arise, it may damage the Group’s reputation and brand, which in turn will adversely affect its business, results of operation and prospects.
Material portion of the Group’s revenue derives from the sales of tours bound for Japan
Tours bound for Japan accounted for 84.6% (2016: 84.4%) of the Group’s total revenue from package tours for the Year 2017. Demand for Japan bound tours may be adversely affected by the happening of natural or other disasters, changes in Japan’s political, economical or social environment, changes in the preference of the customers in Hong Kong or the exchange rate of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars. If the demand for the Group’s Japan bound tours decreases and the Group is unable to increase its sales of package tours bound for other destinations to compensate for the decrease in demand for Japan bound tours, its business and results of operation may be adversely affected.
Exposure to foreign exchange risk particularly in relation to Japanese Yen
The Group derives a majority of its revenue from the sales of travel products bound for Japan. Receipts from customers are denominated in Hong Kong dollars while the settlement of substantial portion of the Group’s land costs, such as hotel tariffs, transportation costs, meal expenses and admission ticket costs are denominated in Japanese Yen. The difference in the exchange rates at which the payables are recorded and finally settled may give
26 WWPKG Holdings Company Limited
==> picture [557 x 122] intentionally omitted <==
rise to transactional foreign currency exchange gain or loss. Moreover, certain of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, deposits and other receivables, trade payables and amounts due to related companies, are denominated in Japanese Yen and are therefore subject to translation difference at year-end exchange rates. Accordingly, the Group is exposed to foreign currency risk mainly arising from business transactions and assets and liabilities denominated in Japanese Yen, when significant fluctuations in the exchange rate of Japanese Yen against Hong Kong dollars could materially and adversely affect the Group’s financial condition and results of operation.
BUSINESS OBJECTIVES AND PROGRESS
The table below sets out the progress of the Group’s achievement of its business objectives as disclosed in the Prospectus during the period from the Listing Date up to 31 March 2017:

Annual Report 2016/2017
Independent Auditor’s Report
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF WWPKG HOLDINGS COMPANY LIMITED
(incorporated in Cayman Islands with limited liability)
OPINION
What we have audited
The consolidated financial statements of WWPKG Holdings Company Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) set out on pages 41 to 95, which comprise:
-
the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2017;
-
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended;
-
the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;
-
the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and
-
the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies.
Our opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2017, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”) and have been properly prepared in compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing (“HKSAs”) issued by the HKICPA. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the HKICPA’s Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“the Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
Key Audit Matter
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
36 WWPKG Holdings Company Limited
Independent Auditor’s Report
Key Audit Matter (Continued)
Key audit matter identified in our audit is related to the following:
- Timing in revenue and cost of sales recognition of sales of package tours
Key Audit Matters
How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matters
Timing in revenue and cost of sales recognition of sales of package tours
(Refer to Notes 5 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements)
Revenue from sales of package tours is recognised when the services are rendered by the Group. At each month end, manual calculations are prepared to recognise revenue based on the number of days spent at the destination for each individual tour in progress and the portion of customer deposits received for incomplete tours will be recorded as advanced receipts from customers.
Similarly, cost of sales for the provision of package tours are recognised when the goods and services are received by the Group. Monthly adjustment to defer a portion of the trade deposits paid to the suppliers and accruals for land costs based on a time proportion basis is prepared manually.
We performed the following audit procedures relating to the timing in revenue and cost of sales recognition of sales of package tours:
-
Understood, evaluated and tested management’s key controls over cut-off in revenue and cost of sales recognition of sales of package tours, including management’s review and approval of the monthly cut off adjustments on revenue and cost of sales.
-
Performed substantive testing on the accuracy of the source data, such as tour listings, flight departure records, sales invoices and supplier invoices, used by management in quantifying the cut-off adjustments at year end, by checking to the supporting documents on sampling basis.
-
Tested the mathematical accuracy of the calculation of the relevant cut-off adjustments made by management.
During the year ended 31 March 2017, the Group recorded revenue from sales of package tours of HK$382,054,000 and corresponding cost of sales of HK$331,327,000, which are significant to the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
- Tested on sampling basis on the advanced receipts from customers as at the year end date by tracing the receipts to the supporting documents including sales invoices and bank statements.
We focused on the timing in revenue and cost of sales recognition of sales of package tours because these involve manual procedures to determine the appropriate amount of revenue and expenses to be recognised in the proper period which gives rise to a higher inherent risk that revenue and corresponding cost of sales could be misstated by recording them in the incorrect period. In addition, inappropriate recognition of revenue and corresponding cost of sales could result in misstatements of the associated balances of advanced receipts from customers, trade deposits paid to the suppliers and accruals for land costs under trade payables as recorded at the year end date.
- Tested on sampling basis on the trade deposits paid to the suppliers and accruals for land costs as at the year end date by tracing the payments and accruals for land costs to the supporting documents including supplier invoices and bank statements.
We found no material variances from the above testing.

Independent Auditor’s Report
OTHER INFORMATION
The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all of the information included in the annual report other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
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 regard.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance is responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
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, 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.
38 WWPKG Holdings Company Limited
Independent Auditor’s Report
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.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
-
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.
Annual Report 2016/2017 39
Independent Auditor’s Report
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.
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 Lam Hiu Yam, Winnie.

Under HKAS 17, lessees were required to make a distinction between a finance lease (on the consolidated statement of financial position) and an operating lease (off balance sheet). HKFRS 16 requires lessees to recognise a lease liability reflecting future lease payments and a right-of-use asset for virtually all lease contracts. The new standard will impact both the consolidated statement of financial position and related ratios (capital adequacy ratio and leverage ratio), but the impact will not be material. If the Group early adopts HKFRS 16, as at 31 March 2017, the amount of operating leasing commitment amounted to HK$7,522,000 (2016: HK$8,480,000) (Note 29(b)) would be recognised on the consolidated statement of financial position as asset and liability. It would have immaterial influences on total assets and liabilities. The impact on capital adequacy ratio and leverage ratio will also be immaterial.

2.1 Basis of preparation (Continued)
(b) New standards and amendments to standards not yet adopted by the Group (Continued)
HKFRS 15 replaces the previous revenue standards: HKAS 18 Revenue and HKAS 11 Construction Contracts, and the related Interpretations on revenue recognition. HKFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining when to recognise revenue and how much revenue to recognise through a 5-step approach: (1) Identify the contract(s) with customer; (2) Identify separate performance obligations in a contract; (3) Determine the transaction price; (4) Allocate transaction price to performance obligations; and (5) Recognise revenue when performance obligation is satisfied. The core principle is that a company should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. It moves away from a revenue recognition model based on an “earnings processes” to an “asset-liability” approach based on transfer of control. HKFRS 15 provides specific guidance on capitalisation of contract cost, license arrangements and principal versus agent commissions. It also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts with customers. HKFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018 and earlier application is permitted. The Group does not plan to early adopt HKFRS 15. The Group assessed the impact of the adoption of HKFRS 15 by analysing the Group’s key revenue streams against the 5-step approach and did not expect the adoption would have a material impact other than presenting more disclosures.
HKFRS 9, “Financial Instruments”, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. It replaces the guidance in HKAS 39 that relates to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. HKFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income and fair value through profit or loss.
For financial liabilities, there were no changes to classification and measurement except for the recognition of changes in own credit risk in other comprehensive income, for liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. The Group assessed that adopting HKFRS 9 would not have a material impact on the Group’s results of operations and financial position.
Management is in the process of making an assessment on the impact of other new standards and amendments to standards and is not yet in a position to state whether they will have a significant impact on the Group’s results of operations and financial position.

2.2 Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities 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.
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations other than business under common control. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values 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 acquisition-by-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 HKFRSs.
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 the profit or loss.
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 Hong Kong Accounting Standards (“HKASs”) 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, noncontrolling 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 profit or loss.

2.2 Subsidiaries (Continued)
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 with the Group’s accounting policies.
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 Directors of the Company who make strategic decisions.
2.4 Foreign currency translation
(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in 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 is presented in HK$, which is the Company’s functional currency and the Group’s presentation currency.
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency using 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 profit or loss, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges.
All foreign exchange gains and losses that related to foreign currency transactions for land cost are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income within “cost of sales”. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income within “other income and other (losses)/gains, net”.

2.4 Foreign currency translation (Continued)
(b) Transactions and balances (Continued)
Changes in the fair value of debt securities denominated in foreign currency classified as availablefor-sale are analysed between translation differences resulting from changes in the amortised cost of the security and other changes in the carrying amount of the security. Translation differences related to changes in amortised cost are recognised in profit or loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognised in other comprehensive income.
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. Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets, such as equities classified as available-forsale, are included in other comprehensive income.
2.5 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
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 will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged in profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their costs to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
| Leasehold improvements | 20% or over the lease term, whichever is shorter |
|---|---|
| Furniture, fxtures and offce equipment | 20% per annum |
| Computer software | 20% to 33.3% per annum |
| Motor vehicles | 33.3% or over the lease term, whichever is shorter |
| Website | 20% per annum |
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.5 Property, plant and equipment (Continued)
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 in profit or loss.
2.6 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 purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
2.7 Financial assets
(a) Classification
The Group classifies its financial assets as loans and receivables, financial assets at fair values through profit or loss. The classification depends on the purposes for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
(i) 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 12 months; otherwise, they are classified as non-current.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.7 Financial assets (Continued)
(a) Classification (Continued)
- (ii) 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 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. The Group’s loans and receivables comprise “trade receivables”, “deposits and other receivables” and “cash and cash equivalents” in the consolidated statement of financial position.
(b) Recognition, derecognition 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 asset. 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 profit or loss. 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.
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 profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
2.8 Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statement of financial position 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 asset and settle the liability 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 Group or the counterparty.
Annual Report 2016/2017 55
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.9 Impairment of financial assets
Assets carried at amortised cost
The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period 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.
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 profit or loss. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. 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 profit or loss.
2.10 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. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group does not designate any derivative as a hedging instrument. Changes in fair value of derivative financial instruments are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income within “other income and other (losses)/gains, net”.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.11 Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using first-in, firstout (FIFO) method. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated applicable selling expenses.
2.12 Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection of trade and other 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. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.
2.13 Cash and cash equivalents
In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks.
2.14 Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
2.15 Trade and other payables
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade and other 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). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.16 Current and deferred income tax
The tax expenses for the years comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.16 Current and deferred income tax (Continued)
(a) Current income tax
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the consolidated statement of financial position date in the countries where the Company’s subsidiaries operate and 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 statement of financial position. However, the deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from initial recognition of goodwill, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it is 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 substantially enacted by the statement of financial position 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.
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.

2.16 Current and deferred income tax (Continued)
- (c) Offsetting
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes 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.
2.17 Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and represents amounts receivable for goods supplied and services provided, stated net of discounts and returns. 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. 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. Revenue is recognised as follows:
-
(i) Revenue from provision of package tours services is recognised when the services are rendered by the Group per day spent at the destination.
-
(ii) Margin income from sales of FIT products is recognised when the services are rendered by the Group as an agent on a net basis when the booking is confirmed.
-
(iii) Margin income from sales of ancillary travel related products and services (such as insurance, transportation passes and admission tickets) are recognised on a net basis when the product is sold to customers.
-
(iv) Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.
-
(v) Referral income is recognised when the services are rendered.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.17 Revenue recognition (Continued)
Determining whether the Group is acting as a principal or as an agent requires consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances, including whether (1) the Group is the primary obligator in the provision of package tours services and sales of air tickets and hotel accommodations; (2) the Group retains the inventory risk of before and after the customer orders, during the provision of services or on return; (3) the Group has latitude in establishing prices; and (4) the Group bears the credit risk for collecting cash from customers. The Group’s management performs the assessment based on the above mentioned factors and reaches the conclusion that the Group acts as a principal in the provision of package tours services since it has exposure to the significant risks and rewards associated with the provision of services, and acts as an agent in the sales of air tickets and hotel accommodations since the risks and rewards associated with the sales are borne by the airline companies and hotels. Accordingly, the Group recognises revenue from the provision of package tours services on a gross basis and sales of air tickets and hotel accommodations on a net basis.
The Group operates the customer loyalty programme where certain customers accumulate points for purchases made which entitle them to purchase goods supplied or services provided for free or at a discounted price. The award points are recognised as a separately identifiable component of the initial sale transaction, by allocating the fair value of the consideration received between the award points and the other components of the sale such that the award points are recognised at their fair value. Revenue from the award points is recognised when the points are redeemed or expired. The amount of initial revenue recognised is based on the number of points redeemed relative to the total number expected to be redeemed. The deferred revenue is recognised as revenue when the award credits are redeemed and expired and the Group’s obligations have been fulfilled.
2.18 Employee benefits
(a) Pension obligations
The Group has arranged for its employees to join the Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme, which is a defined contribution scheme managed by an independent trustee. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions to publicly or privately administered pension insurance plans on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. 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.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.18 Employee benefits (Continued)
(b) 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. The Group recognises termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (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 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to their present value.
(c) Employee leave entitlements
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 statement of financial position date. Employee entitlements to sick leave and maternity leave are not recognised until the time of leave.
(d) Long service payments
Employees who have completed the required number of years of service to the Group are eligible for long service payments. A provision is recognised in respect of the probable future long service payments expected to be made. The provision is based on the best estimate of the probable future payments which have been earned by the employees from their services to the Group to the reporting date.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.19 Share-based payments
(a) Equity-settled share-based payment transactions
The Group operates an equity-settled, share-based compensation plan, under which the entity receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments (options) of the Group. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognised as an expense. The total amount to be expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, including market performance conditions; excluding the impact of any service and non-market performance vesting conditions; and including the impact of any non-vesting conditions.
Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of options that are expected to vest. The total expense is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. In addition, in some circumstances employees may provide services in advance of the grant date and therefore the grant date fair value is estimated for the purposes of recognising the expense during the period between service commencement period and grant date. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-marketing performance and service conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
When the options are exercised, the Company issues new shares. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital.
(b) Share-based payment transactions among group entities
The grant by the Company of options over its equity instruments to the employees of subsidiary undertakings in the Group is treated as a capital contribution. The fair value of employee services received, measured by reference to the grant date fair value, is recognised over the vesting period as an increase to investment in subsidiary undertakings, with a corresponding credit to equity in the parent entity accounts.
There was no share option granted during the year.
2.20 Provisions
Provisions 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. 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.
62 WWPKG Holdings Company Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
2.20 Provisions (Continued)
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditure 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.
2.21 Leases
Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
The Group leases certain property, plant and equipment. Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease’s commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments.
Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other long-term payables. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term.
2.22 Dividend distribution
Dividend distribution to the shareholders of the Company’s (the “Shareholders”) is recognised as a liability in the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Shareholders or Directors, where appropriate.
2.23 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.
2.24 Comparative figures
Certain prior year comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
3.1 Financial risk factors
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including foreign exchange 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 carried out by management of the Group. Formal and informal management meetings are held to identify significant risks and to develop procedures to deal with any risks in relation to the Group’s businesses.
(a) Foreign exchange risk
The Group operates principally in Hong Kong. It is exposed to foreign exchange risk primarily with respect to Japanese Yen (“JPY”) denominated transactions arising from the costs of services consumed in hotel accommodations and other travel-related services.
The foreign exchange risk of the Group mainly arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits and other receivables, derivative financial assets, trade payables and amounts due from/(to) related companies denominated in JPY, which are used in the provision of package tours services in Japan.
As at 31 March 2017, if JPY had strengthened/weakened by 10% with all other variables held constant, the post-tax loss would have been approximately HK$654,000 lower/higher (2016: posttax profit would have been approximately HK$471,000 higher/lower), mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on revaluation of JPY denominated cash and cash equivalents, deposits and other receivables, derivative financial assets, trade payables and amounts due from/to related companies.
The Group manages its exposures to foreign exchange transactions by monitoring the level of foreign currency receipts and payments and using foreign exchange forward contracts to manage against the foreign exchange risk arising from future operational transactions and recognised assets and liabilities. The Group ensures that the net exposure to foreign exchange risk is kept to an acceptable level from time to time. The Group also regularly reviews the portfolio of suppliers and the currencies in which the transactions are denominated so as to minimise the Group’s exposure to foreign exchange risk.
(b) Credit risk
The credit risk of the Group mainly arises from cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables and amounts due from a related company. The carrying amounts of these balances represent the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets. In respect of cash deposited at banks, the credit risk is considered to be low as the counterparties are reputable banks.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
3.1 Financial risk factors (Continued)
(b) Credit risk (Continued)
Majority of the Group’s revenue is received from individual retail customers in relation to package tours services and are transacted in cash or credit cards. The Group’s trade receivables arise from sales of air tickets and hotel accommodations to other travel agents. As at 31 March 2017, the top debtor accounted for approximately 100% (2016: top three debtors accounted for approximately 100%) and the largest debtor accounted for approximately 100% (2016: 98%) of the Group’s trade receivables balance, respectively. The Group has set up long-term cooperative relationship with these debtors. In view of the history of business dealings with the debtors and the sound collection history of the receivables due from them, management believes that there is no material credit risk inherent in the Group’s outstanding receivables balance due from these debtors. Management makes periodic assessment on the recoverability of the trade and other receivables based on historical payment records, the length of overdue period, the financial strength of the debtors and whether there are any disputes with the debtors. The Directors consider the Group’s credit risk of these receivables to be low.
As at 31 March 2016, for the amount due from a related company, the Directors were of the opinion that the credit risk is low due to the sound collection history of the receivable due from such related company.
The extent of credit risk relating to the Group’s trade and other receivables is disclosed in Note 18 and Note 19.
(c) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management is controlled by maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents generated from the operating activities. As at 31 March 2017 and 2016, the Group held cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables, respectively, that are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk.
As at 31 March 2017, the Group has banking facilities in the aggregate amount of HK$51,000,000 (2016: same), including a bank guarantee to suppliers in the amount of HK$5,000,000 (2016: same) for future operating activities. The above banking facilities were secured by i) a residential property and an office property (including its rental assignment) owned by related companies; ii) corporate guarantee granted by a related company; iii) cross guarantee granted by Package Tours and a related company; and iv) personal guarantees granted by Mr. SK Yuen and Ms. Chan, executive Directors of the Company.
The banking facilities do not contain any material covenants and the Group has not breached any covenants on its banking facilities. All the properties charged and guarantees provided by related companies, Mr. SK Yuen and Ms. Chan for the Group’s bank facilities were fully released by 8 June 2017. The above banking facilities have been secured by corporate guarantee of the Company since then.

3.2 Capital risk 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.
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 obligations under finance leases (including “current” and “non-current” as shown in the consolidated statement of financial position) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as “equity” as shown in the consolidated statement of financial position plus net debt.
As at 31 March 2017 and 2016, the Group had net cash position as follows:
| 2017 | 2016 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HK$’000 | HK$’000 | |||
| Total obligations under finance leases (Note 25) | 258 | 611 | ||
| Less: cash and cash equivalents (Note 21) | (138,588) | (71,622) | ||
| Net cash | (138,330) | (71,011) | ||
| Gearing ratio | N/A | N/A |
3.3 Fair value estimation
The table below analyses the Group’s financial instruments carried at fair value 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).

|---|---|---|---|
| As at 31 March 2017 Assets Forward exchange contracts |
38 | ||
| As at 31 March 2016 | |||
| Assets | |||
| Forward exchange contracts | 8 |
(a) Financial instruments in level 1
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the statement of financial position date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.
(b) Financial instruments in level 2
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. As at 31 March 2017 and 2016, instruments included in level 2 represent forward exchange contracts issued by a financial institution and foreign currency services companies in Hong Kong which was classified as financial assets/liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, and the fair value is determined using forward exchange rates at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position date.
There were no transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the years ended 31 March 2017 and 2016.
3.4 Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
As at 31 March 2017 and 2016, there were no financial assets or financial liabilities which were subject to offsetting, enforceable master netting or similar agreements.

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. 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 the next financial year are addressed below.
Income taxes
The Group is subject to income taxes in Hong Kong. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
5 REVENUE AND SEGMENT INFORMATION
(a) Revenue
The Group’s businesses include (i) the design, development and sales of package tours; (ii) the sales of FIT products; and (iii) the sales of ancillary travel related products and services. Revenue recognised are as follows:
