NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the six months ended 31 December 2011

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”).

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2011 have been prepared solely for the information of the Company’s management.

In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, the directors of the Company have given careful consideration to the future liquidity of the Group in light of the net liabilities of approximately HK$63,667,000 as at 31 December 2011 and a loss of approximately HK$3,016,000 for the period then ended. Paladin has agreed to provide adequate funds for the Group to meet in full its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future. Taking into account the available unutilized bank credit facility as at 31 December 2011 and the cash flows generated from the operations of Paladin Limited, 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 accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

3. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain properties and financial instruments, which are measured at revalued amounts or fair values, as appropriate.

The accounting policies used in the condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2011.

In the current interim period, the Group has applied, for the first time, a number of new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations (“new or revised HKFRSs”) issued by the HKICPA.

The application of the other new and revised HKFRSs had no effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group for the current or prior accounting periods.

The Group has not early applied the following new or revised HKFRSs that have been issued but are not yet effective.

Amendments to HKFRS 7 Disclosures – Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities1
Mandatory effective date of HKFRS 9 and transition
disclosures2
HKFRS 9 Financial instruments2
HKFRS 10 Consolidated financial statements1
HKFRS 11 Joint arrangements1
HKFRS 12 Disclosure of interests in other entities1
HKFRS 13 Fair value measurement1

Amendments to HKAS 1 Presentation of items of other comprehensive income[3] HKAS 19 (as revised in 2011) Employee benefits[1] HKAS 27 (as revised in 2011) Separate financial statements[1] HKAS 28 (as revised in 2011) Investments in associates and joint ventures[1] Amendments to HKAS 32 Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities[4] HK(IFRIC) – INT 20 Stripping costs in the production phase of a surface mine[1]

  • 1 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013

2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012.

  • 4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.

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 December 2011) 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. Previously, 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 January 2013, with earlier application permitted.

The directors of the Company (the “Directors”) anticipate that the application of the other new and revised Standards, Amendments or Interpretations will have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The principal activity of the Company is the research and development of high technology systems and applications.

BUSINESS REVIEW AND PROSPECT

The Company has planned to conduct research and development of digital camera, camcorder, surveillance, video capturing and processing technology. The plan is in early stage and did not generate any revenue to the Company at this stage.

LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE

As at 31 December 2011, net current liabilities of the Company were approximately HK$64 million. The current ratio was 0.45. The bank balances were approximately HK$0.4 million.

As at 31 December 2011, the major outstanding liabilities of the Company was amounts due to ultimate holding company of approximately HK$1 million, amount due to a fellow subsidiary of approximately HK$96 million, and due to a director of approximately HK$13 million and other payables and accruals of approximately HK$6 million.

The majority of the Company’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 Company has no significant exposure to exchange fluctuation and does not pledge against foreign exchange risk.

The directors consider that it is not meaningful to publish a gearing ratio of the Company until such time the Company is in a positive shareholders equity position.
