Chairman’s Statement
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The principal activities of the Group are re-development of a property project at Nos. 8, 10 and 12 Peak Road (the “Peak Road Project”), investment holding and indent trading.
BUSINESS REVIEW AND PROSPECT
Re-development
The Peak Road Project located at Nos. 8, 10 and 12 Peak Road, Hong Kong consists of 34 apartment units and a 3-storey private house and the gross floor area is approximately 119,000 square feet. 15 apartment units have been sold in previous years. During the year, the Group did not sell any property.
The returns from the Peak Road Project will significantly improve the Group’s financial position.
General and indent trading
The management of the Company is currently focusing the resources of the Group on the development and marketing of the Peak Road Project. As a result, turnover in this sector was only approximately HK$1 million.
Research and development
Sensors Integration Technology Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group has planned to conduct research and development of digital camera, camcorder, surveillance, video capturing and processing technology. The plan is on early stage and did not generate any revenue to the Group at this moment.
LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE
As at 30 June 2011, net current liabilities of the Group were approximately HK$462 million. The current ratio was 0.64. The pledged bank deposits, bank balances and cash were approximately HK$75 million.

The bank borrowings are on floating interest rates basis.
The majority of the Group’s assets and borrowings are denominated either in Hong Kong dollars or US dollars thereby avoiding exposure to undesirable exchange rate fluctuations. In view of the stability of the exchange rate of HK dollars and US dollars, the directors consider that the Group has no significant exposure to exchange fluctuation and does not pledge against foreign exchange risk.

During the year ended 30 June 2011, the Group had no material acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants 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.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit and to report our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with Section 90 of the Bermuda Companies Act, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
17
Independent Auditor’s Report[(Cont’d)]
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of the consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group as at 30 June 2011 and of the Group’s loss and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards and have been properly prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

3. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRSs”)
In the current year, the Group has applied the following new and revised Standards, Amendments and Interpretations (“New and Revised HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).
HKFRSs (Amendments) Improvements to HKFRSs 2009 HKFRSs (Amendments) Amendments to HKAS 27 and HKFRS 3 as part of Improvements to HKFRSs issued in 2010 HKAS 12 (Amendments) Deferred tax: Recovery of underlying assets HKAS 32 (Amendment) Classification of rights issues HKFRS 1 (Amendment) Additional exemptions for first-time adopters HKFRS 1 (Amendment) Limited exemption from comparative HKFRS 7 disclosure for first-time adopters HKFRS 2 (Amendment) Group cash-settled share-based payment transactions HKFRS 3 (Revised) Business combinations HK(IFRIC*) – INT 19 Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments HK – INT 5 Presentation of financial statements – Classification by the borrower of a term loan that contains a repayment on demand clause
- IFRIC represents the IFRS Interpretation Committee
Except as described below, the adoption of the New and Revised HKFRSs had no material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the current or prior accounting periods.
Hong Kong Interpretation 5 “Presentation of financial statements – Classification by the borrower of a term loan that contains a repayment on demand clause”
Hong Kong Interpretation 5 “Presentation of financial statements – Classification by the borrower of a term loan that contains a repayment on demand clause” (“HK INT 5”) clarifies that term loans that include a clause that gives the lender the unconditional right to call the loans at any time (“repayment on demand clause”) should be classified by the borrower as current liabilities. The Group has applied HK INT 5 for the first time in the current year. Hong Kong Interpretation 5 requires retrospective application.

3. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRSs”) (Cont’d)
Hong Kong Interpretation 5 “Presentation of financial statements – Classification by the borrower of a term loan that contains a repayment on demand clause” (Cont’d)
In order to comply with the requirements set out in HK INT 5, the Group has changed its accounting policy on classification of term loans with a repayment on demand clause. In the past, the classification of such term loans were determined based on the agreed scheduled repayment dates set out in the loan agreements. Under HK INT 5, term loans with a repayment on demand clause are classified as current liabilities.
As a result, bank loans that contain a repayment on demand clause with the aggregate carrying amounts of HK$700,103,000 and HK$866,751,000 have been reclassified from non-current liabilities to current liabilities as at 30 June 2010 and 1 July 2009, respectively. At 30 June 2011, bank loans (that are repayable more than one year after the end of the reporting period but contain a repayment on demand clause) with the aggregate carrying amount of HK$676,747,000 have been classified as current liabilities. The application of HK INT 5 has had no impact on the reported profit or loss for the current and prior years. Such term loans have been presented in the earliest time band in the maturity analysis for financial liabilities (see note 26 for details).
Amendments to HKAS 12 “Income taxes” (Early adoption)
Amendments to HKAS 12 titled “Deferred tax: Recovery of underlying assets” have been applied in advance of their effective date (annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012). Under the amendments, investment properties that are measured using the fair value model in accordance with HKAS 40 “Investment Property” are presumed to be recovered through sale, unless the presumption is rebutted in certain circumstances.
The Group’s investment properties are measured using the fair value model. As a result, the Group’s investment properties located in Hong Kong have been presumed to be recovered through sale for the purpose of measuring deferred tax in respect of such properties. This resulted in deferred tax liabilities being decreased by HK$9,035,000 and HK$13,985,000 as at 1 July 2009 and 30 June 2010 respectively, with the corresponding adjustment being recognised in retained earnings.
Also, no deferred tax has been provided for in respect of changes in fair value of such investment properties located in Hong Kong in the current year, whereas previously deferred tax expense was provided for in relation to the changes in fair value of these investment properties. The application of the amendments has resulted in a decrease in taxation charge of HK$8,250,000 (2010: HK$4,950,000) for the year ended 30 June 2011.

HKFRS 9 “Financial instruments” (as issued in November 2009) introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. HKFRS 9 “Financial instruments” (as revised in November 2010) adds requirements for financial liabilities and for derecognition.
-
Under HKFRS 9, all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 “Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement” are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent accounting periods.
-
In relation to financial liabilities, the significant change relates to financial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Specifically, under HKFRS 9, for financial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss, the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the presentation of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability’s credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Under HKAS 39, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the financial liability designated as at fair value through profit or loss was presented in profit or loss.
HKFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2013, with earlier application permitted. The directors of the Company anticipate that the amendments to HKFRS 9 may not have material impact on the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities based on an analysis of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2011.
The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of new and revised Standards, Amendments and Interpretations will have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for investment properties and certain financial instruments, which are measured at fair values, as explained in accounting policies set out below.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by other members of the Group.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and properties sold, rental income and services rendered in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sales related taxes.
Revenue from sale of developed properties in the ordinary course of business is recognised on the execution of a binding sale agreement.
Rental income, including rental invoiced in advance from properties under operating leases, is recognised on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases.

For The Year ended 30 June 2011
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)
Revenue recognition (Cont’d)
Income from indent trading represents the handling income for indent trading, which is recognised when services are rendered.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Interest income from a financial asset is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment including land and buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes are stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.
Investment properties
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation.
In cases where classification between investment properties and properties held for sale in the ordinary course of business is difficult, the Group classifies the properties being actively marketed for sale as properties held for sale and other properties which are not marketed for immediate disposal as investment property held for long term capital appreciation purpose.
Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at their fair value using the fair value model. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)
Investment properties (Cont’d)
An investment property is derecognised upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use or no future economic benefits are expected from its disposals. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the profit or loss in the period in which the item is derecognised.
Properties held for sale
Properties held for sale are stated at lower of cost and net realisable value.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the consolidated statement of financial position when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets
The Group’s financial assets are classified into two categories including loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial asset, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments.

Financial assets (Cont’d)
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables (including trade receivables and deposits, pledged bank deposits, bank balances and cash) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).
Available-for-sale financial assets
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated or not classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), loans and receivables or held-tomaturity investments.
Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period. Changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in investment revaluation reserve, until the financial asset is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, at which time, the cumulative gain or loss previously accumulated in investment revaluation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).
For available-for-sale equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost less any identified impairment losses at the end of the reporting period (see accounting policy on impairment loss on financial assets below).
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of the reporting period. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets have been affected.
For an available-for-sale equity investment, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of that investment below its cost is considered to be objective evidence of impairment.

Impairment of financial assets (Cont’d)
For all other financial assets, objective evidence of impairment could include:
-
significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or
-
default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or
-
it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation.
For certain categories of financial asset, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the credit period of 120 days, observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.
For financial assets carried at amortised cost, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss when there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, and is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate.
For financial assets carried at cost, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment loss will not be reversed in subsequent periods.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When a trade receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets (Cont’d)
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, if, in a subsequent period, the amount of impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset at the date the impairment is reversed does not exceed what the amortised cost would have been had the impairment not been recognised.
For available-for-sale debt investments, impairment losses are subsequently reversed if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss.
Financial liabilities and equity
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. The accounting policies adopted in respect of financial liabilities and equity instruments are set out below.
The Group’s financial liabilities, other than the convertible redeemable preference shares, are generally classified into other financial liabilities.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period.
Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis.

Financial liabilities and equity (Cont’d)
Convertible redeemable preference shares
Convertible redeemable preference shares are regarded as compound instruments consisting of a liability component and an equity component. At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible debt without the conversion feature. The difference between the proceeds of issue of the convertible redeemable preference shares and the fair value assigned to the liability component, representing the embedded call option for the holder to convert the liability component of the convertible redeemable preference shares into equity of the Company, is included in equity (capital reserve).
In subsequent periods, the liability component of the convertible redeemable preference shares is carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The equity component, representing by the option to convert the liability component into ordinary shares of the Company, will remain in capital reserve until the conversion option is exercised (in which case the balance stated in capital reserve will be transferred to share premium). Where the option remains unexercised at the expiry date, the balance stated in capital reserve will be released to the accumulated losses. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss upon conversion or expiration of the option.
Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible redeemable preference shares are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the proceeds. Issue costs relating to the equity component are charged directly to equity. Issue costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability portion and amortised over the period of the convertible redeemable preference shares using the effective interest method.
Other financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities (including bills payable, other payables, amount due to directors of subsidiaries, bank overdrafts and secured bank borrowings) are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of the reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.
Impairment loss on tangible assets
At the end of the reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Research and development expenditure
Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.
An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:
-
the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
-
the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;
-
the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;
-
how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits;
-
the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and
-
the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.
The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible asset is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria. Where no internally generated intangible asset can be recognised, development expenditure is charged to profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.
Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible asset is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately.

Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of that entity (foreign currencies) are recorded in its functional currency (i.e. the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates) at the rates of exchanges prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Nonmonetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
For the purposes of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (i.e. Hong Kong dollars) at the rate of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period, and their income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the year, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during the period, in which case, the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity (the translation reserve).
Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the statement of financial position liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Taxation (Cont’d)
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of the reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
For the purposes of measuring deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets for investment properties that are measured using the fair value model in accordance with HKAS 40 “Investment property”, such properties are presumed to be recovered through sale. Such a presumption is rebutted when the investment property is held within a business model the Group whose business objective is to consume substantially all of the economic benefits embodied in the investment property over time, rather than through sale. If the presumption is rebutted, deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets for such investment properties are measured in accordance with the above general principles set out in HKAS 12 (i.e. based on the expected manner as to how the properties will be recovered).
Other than deferred tax liabilities related to investment properties which are presumed to be recovered from sale, the measurement of other deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

Leasing
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
The Group as lessor
Rental income from operating leases is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
Leasehold land and building
When a lease includes both land and building elements, the Group assesses the classification of each element as a finance or an operating lease separately based on the assessment as to whether substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of each element have been transferred to the Group. Specifically, the minimum lease payments (including any lump-sum upfront payments) are allocated between the land and the building elements in proportion to the relative fair values of the leasehold interests in the land element and building element of the lease at the inception of the lease.
When the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between the land and building elements, the entire lease is generally classified as a finance lease and accounted for as property, plant and equipment or investment properties (as appropriate) unless it is clear that both elements are operating leases, in which case the entire lease is classified as an operating lease.
Retirement benefit scheme
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit scheme are charged as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
5. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities within the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to shareholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from prior year.
The capital structure of the Group consists of net debts, which include amount due to directors of subsidiaries, bank overdrafts and secured bank borrowings as disclosed in notes 24, 25 and 26, respectively (net of cash and cash equivalents) and equity attributable to equity holders of the Company, comprising issued share capital and reserves as disclosed in the consolidated statement of changes in equity.
The directors of the Company review the capital structure on a regular basis. As part of this review, the directors consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. The Group will balance its overall capital structure through new share issues as well as issue of new debts.

Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s financial instruments include available-for-sale investments, trade receivables and deposits, pledged bank deposits, bank balances and cash, bills payable, other payables, amount due to directors of subsidiaries, bank overdrafts, secured bank borrowings, derivative financial instruments and convertible redeemable preference shares. Details of the financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments and the policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. The management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from prior year.
Market risk
Currency risk
The Group has foreign currency exposure from the handling service income which expose the Group to foreign currency risk.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the reporting dates are as follows:
| Assets United States Dollars (“USD”) Liabilities USD |
2011 HK$’000 14,074 9,080 |
2010 HK$’000 14,209 |
|---|---|---|
| 1,718 |
The management continuously monitors the foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging foreign currency risk should the need arise.
The Group is mainly exposed to the foreign currency risk on HKD against USD. As HKD is pegged to USD, the financial impact on exchange difference between HKD and USD is expected to be immaterial and therefore no sensitivity analysis on USD has been prepared.

Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to floating-rate bank overdrafts and bank borrowings (see notes 25 and 26 for details of these borrowings). The management continuously monitors interest rate fluctuation and will consider further hedging interest rate risk should the need arise.
The Group is exposed to fair value interest rate risk in relation to fixed-rate pledged bank deposits. The directors of the Company consider the Group’s exposure of the fixed-rate pledged bank deposits to fair value interest rate risk is not significant as the interest rates are repriced every three months.
The Group’s bank balances have exposure to cash flow interest rate risk due to the fluctuation of the prevailing market interest rate on bank balances. The directors of the Company consider the Group’s exposure of the short-term bank deposits to interest rate risk is not significant as interest bearing bank balances are within short maturity period. Accordingly, no sensitivity analysis on short-term bank deposits is presented.
The Group’s exposures to interest rates on financial liabilities are detailed in the liquidity risk management section of this note. The Group’s cash flow interest rate risk is mainly concentrated on the fluctuation of Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (“HIBOR”) and Hong Kong dollars Prime Rate arising from the Group’s HKD borrowings.
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for floating rate bank overdrafts and secured bank borrowings at the end of the reporting period and the stipulated changes taking place at the beginning of the year and held constant throughout the year. The analysis also assumed the amount outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 50 basis point (2010: 50 basis points) increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates on floating-rate bank overdrafts and secured bank borrowings had been 50 basis points (2010: 50 basis points) higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the loss for the year ended 30 June 2011 would increase/decrease by approximately HK$3,850,000 (2010: loss would increase/decrease by approximately HK$3,745,000). This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on floating-rate bank overdrafts and secured bank borrowings.

Other price risk
The Group’s available-for-sale investments and derivative financial instruments exposed the Group to other price risks. Details of the available-for-sale investments and derivative financial instruments are set out in notes 17 and 27 respectively.
Management has closely monitor the other price risk and will consider hedging the risk exposure should the need arise.
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analyses below have been determined based on the exposure to other price risks at the end of the reporting period. 5% (2010: 5%) increase or decrease is used when reporting exposure to other price risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in price.
- (i) Price risk of available-for-sale investments
If the prices of the available-for-sale debt investment had been 5% (2010: 5%) higher/lower, investment revaluation reserve for the year ended 30 June 2011 would increase/decrease by HK$556,000 (2010: increase/decrease by HK$475,000) as a result of the changes in fair value of available-for-sale investments.
- (ii) Price risk of derivative financial instruments
If the market price of the underlying leasehold property interests had been 5% higher/lower and other inputs were held constant, loss for the year ended 30 June 2011 would increase/decrease by HK$5,940,000 (2010: loss for the year would increase/decrease by HK$4,563,000) as a result of the changes in fair value of the derivatives.

Credit risk
The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in the event of the counterparties’ failure to perform their obligations at the end of the reporting period in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position. In order to minimise the credit risk, the directors of the Company continuously monitor exposure to ensure that follow-up actions and/or corrective actions are taken promptly to lower exposure or even to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.
The Group’s credit risk on liquid funds is limited because majority of the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies and state owned banks with good reputation.
The Group has concentration risk on receivables from handling service and available-for-sale debt investments.
Receivables from handling service with approximately HK$13,168,000 (2010: HK$12,041,000) was from a few customers. In order to minimise the credit risk, the management of the Group has reviewed the recoverable amount of each individual trade receivable regularly to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the directors of the Company consider that the Group’s credit risk is significantly reduced.
Available-for-sale debt investments with carrying value of approximately HK$11,114,000 (2010: HK$9,500,000) was the debenture issued by The Hong Kong Golf Club. However, having consider the strong financial background of the debenture issuer, the management believes there is no significant risk.

Liquidity risk
As mentioned in note 2, the directors of the Company have given careful consideration to the future liquidity of the Group in light of its liquidity risk. Taking into account the available unutilised bank credit facility of HK$245,563,000 (2010: HK$94,944,000) as at 30 June 2011 and the estimated proceeds from sales of developed properties, the directors of the Company are satisfied that the Group will be able to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future and the Group does not have significant exposure to liquidity risk.
The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. Specifically, bank loans with a repayment on demand clause are included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of the banks choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities are based on the agreed repayment dates.

Fair value
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
-
the fair value of club debentures classified as available-for-sale debt investments are determined with reference to market price;
-
the fair value of loans and receivables and financial liabilities (excluding derivative financial instruments) are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis; and
-
the fair values of derivative financial instruments are estimated with reference to market price of the underlying leasehold property. Details are set out in note 27.
The directors of the Company consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the consolidated financial statements approximate their fair value.
Fair value measurements recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.
- Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market for identical assets or liabilities.

8. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group’s operating segments are property development, property investment and indent trading of merchandise for the purpose of resources allocation and assessment of performance.
The segment information reported externally was analysed on the basis of their products and services provided by the Group’s operating divisions which is consistent with the internal information that are regularly reviewed by the chairman of the board of directors, the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of performance. These operating decisions also reflect the basic of organisation in the Group.
Principal activities of the operating an reportable segments are as follows:
| Property Development | – | Properties construction and redevelopment for sale purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Property investment | – | Completed investment properties held for capital appreciation |
| purpose | ||
| Indent trading of merchandise | – | Provision of agency services in transactions of indent trading |
| of merchandise |
The Group incurred research and development costs relating to projects at preliminary stage. Such projects have been ceased during the current year. These projects are not regularly reviewed by the Group’s CODM for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment. Accordingly, it was not classified as an operating segment.

In August 2007, January 2009 and February 2010, a subsidiary of the Company received the Assessment Demanding Final Tax (the “Assessments”) for the years of assessment 2006/2007, 2007/2008 and 2008/2009 from the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department (“IRD”) respectively. By issuing the Assessments, the IRD disagreed the basis adopted by this subsidiary for computation of Hong Kong Profits Tax liability. In addition, the IRD disagreed the tax losses brought forward and certain items claimed by this subsidiary for the years of assessment from 1997/1998 to 1999/2000 and 2004/2005 to 2005/2006 with aggregated amount of approximately HK$279,990,000.
The Group has lodged objections against the Assessments received from IRD in September 2007 and March 2010 respectively. The IRD has agreed to holdover the tax in dispute of approximately HK$109,277,000 unconditionally and HK$26,877,000 on condition that the tax reserve certificates are purchased on instalment basis (in which HK$4,000,000 has been paid as at 30 June 2011).

11. TAXATION CHARGE (Cont’d)
Other than the existing tax provision of HK$43,400,000, the directors of the Company are of the view that no additional tax provision is needed at the present stage because the Group had grounds to pursue its tax claims and to appeal in the event that the case is to be determined by the Commissioner. Also, the amount and timing of potential additional tax liabilities, if any, could not be readily and reliably ascertained at the present stage.
Taxation for the year can be reconciled to loss per the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as follows:
| Loss (profit) before taxation Tax credit (charge) at Hong Kong Profits Tax rate of 16.5% (2010: 16.5%) Tax effect of income not taxable for tax purpose Tax effect of expenses not deductible for tax purpose Tax effect of unrealised intragroup profits on properties held for sale not recognised Tax effect of tax losses not recognised Utilisation of tax losses previously not recognised Underprovision in respect of prior years Tax charge for the year |

On 5 April 2006, Banhart Company Limited (“Banhart”), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a loan agreement with Fine Chiffon Corporation Limited (“Fine Chiffon”) to obtain a non-interest bearing loan facility of HK$42,000,000. The loan is unsecured, non-interest bearing and non-revolving in nature. The loan shall be repayable on or before 6 September 2008.
In addition, Banhart also granted two options to Fine Chiffon for purchasing (i) part of the Company’s leasehold property at a consideration of HK$32,000,000 and (ii) 20% of the share capital of Banhart, at a consideration of HK$10,000,000, in substitution for the repayment of the outstanding non-interest bearing loan at the end of the loan period. Fine Chiffon is entitled to exercise the options at any time prior to the maturity date and the options are non-transferable.
On 6 September 2008, Fine Chiffon exercised the options. Accordingly, a derivative is recognised at the amount expected to be settled at the transfer date, which is estimated with reference to the market price of the underlying leasehold property. Upon the exercise of the two options, the loan from Fine Chiffon of HK$42,000,000 and the fair value of the two options of HK$43,700,000 at the exercise date were derecognised and became the initial cost of the derivative financial instruments.
At the end of the reporting period, the fair value of the underlying property is HK$220,000,000 (2010: HK$169,000,000). Accordingly, a fair value loss of HK$27,540,000 (2010: HK$15,660,000) was recognised in profit or loss during the year ended 30 June 2011. The underlying property is currently occupied by the Company for own use and recognised as leasehold property and stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Up to present, Banhart is in negotiation with Fine Chiffon in relation to the timing for transferring the benefits of those assets to Fine Chiffon.
