LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INFORMATION OF THE OFFEROR

The information in this section was extracted from “Information of the Offeror” in the “Letter from Kingston Securities” of the Offer Document:

The Offeror, Mr. Dong Bo Frederic, aged 50, was an executive director of Success Universe Group Limited (formerly known as China Development Corporation Limited), a company listed on the main board of the Stock Exchange with stock code 487, from 3 January 2001 to 29 October 2001. Mr. Dong was an executive director and the chairman of the board of China Baoli Technologies Holdings Limited (formerly known as Premium Land Limited), a company listed on the main board of the Stock Exchange with stock code 164, from 26 October 2001 to 8 November 2006.

In addition, from 2002 to 2004, Mr. Dong was a member of the Standing Committee of the Chamber of Hong Kong Listed Companies, which functions as an effective communication channel between listed companies and regulatory authorities in Hong Kong.

INTENTION OF THE OFFEROR IN RELATION TO THE COMPANY

In the Offer Document, the Offeror announced his purported intention to maintain the Company’s existing principal activities, and upon close of the Offers, to assist the Company to review its business operations and investments and seek for new investment opportunities. The Offeror purported to seek to appoint his own nominees to the board and may ask some or all existing directors to resign, and if they do not do so immediately he may take steps to affect their removal.

As stated in the Offer Document, subject to the results of such review, the Offeror purported that he has no intention to introduce major changes to the business of the Group, including any redeployment of fixed assets other than those in its ordinary course of business. Save for potential change(s) to the composition of the Board, the Offeror purportedly has no plan to terminate the employment of employees of the Group. However, according to the Offer Document, the Offeror will review the business and operations of the Group and reserves the right to make any changes that he deems necessary or appropriate to the Group’s businesses and operations to optimise the value of the Group.

Subject to the Offers becoming unconditional, the Board will cooperate and provide support to the Offeror as regards to the Offeror’s intention regarding the Group and will continue to act in the best interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

MAINTAINING THE LISTING STATUS OF THE COMPANY

As stated in the Offer Document, the Offeror intends the issued Shares to remain listed on the Stock Exchange after the close of the Offers.

Pursuant to the GEM Listing Rules, if, at the closing of the Offers, less than 25% of the issued Shares are held by the public or if the Stock Exchange believes that: (i) a false market exists or may exist in the trading of the Shares; or (ii) there are insufficient Shares in public hands to maintain an orderly market, then the Stock Exchange will consider exercising its discretion to suspend trading in the Shares.

The Offeror will take appropriate steps to ensure that sufficient public float exists in the Shares after the close of the Offers.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RECOMMENDATION

BaoQiao Partners, the Independent Financial Adviser, is of the opinion that the terms of Share Offer are not fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned, and recommends the Independent Shareholders to reject the Share Offer. BaoQiao Partners, the Independent Financial Adviser, however, is of the opinion that the Option Offer Price of HK$0.001 is fair and reasonable so far as the Optionholders are concerned, and recommends the Optionholders to accept the Option Offer.

Since there is no outstanding Warrant, the Warrant Offer is no longer applicable. As such, BaoQiao Partners, the Independent Financial Adviser, does not advise the Warrantholders in this regard.

The Board concurs with BaoQiao Partners and is of the view that the terms of the Share Offer are not fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned. The Board also concurs with BaoQiao Partners and is of the view that the Option Offer Price of HK$0.001 is fair and reasonable so far as the Optionholders are concerned. The Board therefore recommends the Independent Shareholders to reject the Share Offer but recommends the Optionholders to accept the Option Offer. As the Warrants had expired after 6 September 2016, which was before the date of this letter, the Board considers that the Warrant Offer is no longer applicable and it makes no recommendation in relation thereto.

Your attention is drawn to the “Letter from the Independent Board Committee” as set out in this Response Document which contains its recommendation to the Independent Shareholders and the Optionholders in respect of the Offers, and the “Letter from BaoQiao Partners” as set out in this Response Document containing its advice to the Independent Board Committee in respect of the Offers.

You are also advised to read the Offer Document and the Forms of Acceptance in respect of the acceptance and settlement procedures of the Offers.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Your attention is drawn to the additional information set out in the appendices to this Response Document.

To the Independent Shareholders and the Optionholders,

Dear Sir or Madam,

THE VOLUNTARY CONDITIONAL CASH OFFERS BY KINGSTON SECURITIES ON BEHALF OF MR. DONG BO FREDERIC TO ACQUIRE ALL ISSUED SHARES AND ALL OUTSTANDING WARRANTS OF WEALTH GLORY HOLDINGS LIMITED (OTHER THAN THOSE ALREADY ACQUIRED OR AGREED TO BE ACQUIRED BY MR.

We also wish to draw your attention to the letter from the Board and the additional information set out in the appendices to the Response Document.

12

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE

Having considered the terms of the Offers and the advice from BaoQiao Partners, we are of the view that the terms of the Share Offer are not fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned while the Option Price of HK$0.001 is fair and reasonable so far as the Optionholders are concerned. Accordingly, we recommend that the Independent Shareholders should reject the Share Offer and the Optionholders should accept the Option Offer. As the Warrants had expired after 6 September 2016, which was before the date of this letter, we consider that the Warrant Offer is no longer applicable and we make no recommendation in relation thereto.

Notwithstanding our recommendation, the Independent Shareholders and the Optionholders should consider carefully the terms of the Offers and the “Letter from BaoQiao Partners” in this Response Document.

Yours faithfully,

19

LETTER FROM BAOQIAO PARTNERS

The reason for the drop in revenue for the Group’s trading of natural resources and commodities business was due to the decrease in the trading volume in crude palm oil via its wholly-owned subsidiary, Grand Charm Commodities Limited (“ Grand Charm ”) in FY2016. As disclosed in the 2016 Annual Report, the master trading agreements entered into by Grand Charm and both suppliers and customers were expired in July 2014. However, Grand Charm was unable to enter into new master trading agreements with better terms given the sluggish market condition. As such, Grand Charm continued carrying out the trading of crude palm oil in the form of trade-by-trade basis, which led to the significant decrease in revenue from the trading of nature resources and commodities. In FY2016, the Group recorded revenue of HK$48.0 million from the trading of crude palm oil, as compared to HK$258.2 million in FY2015, which represented a decrease in revenue of HK$210.2 million or 81.4%.

Although the Group experienced significant decrease in revenue for its trading of nature resources and commodities business, the Group recorded increase in revenue in both of its money lending business and the new consumer products business.

The Group’s money lending business has been growing steadily since FY2015. Fees and interest incomes from the Group’s money lending business for FY2016 was approximately HK$6.0 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$4.1 million or 212.6% as compared to the revenue of approximately HK$1.9 million for FY2015. As at 31 March 2016, the Group has a loan portfolio of approximately HK$39.8 million, representing an increase in loan portfolio of approximately HK$18.1 million or 83.4% as compared to the loan portfolio of approximately HK$21.7 million as at 31 March 2015.

As disclosed by the Company, the Group acquired the entire equity interests of MD Inc. Limited in October 2015 which, amongst others, engaged in design, manufacture, produce, market, sales and distribution of bags, storage cases for electronic accessories and components, trendy fashion apparels and accessories in Hong Kong and Asia markets. MD recorded post-acquisition revenue of HK$4.8 million.

The sale of packaged food provided relative stable revenue to the Group for FY2016. The revenue from the sale of packaged food was approximately HK$14.8 million for both FY2016 and FY2015. However, the segment continued to record a loss of HK$1.9 million (FY2015: HK$0.5 million) due to the escalating costs in raw material and the downturn in global economy as explained in the 2016 Annual Report.

As disclosed in the 2016 Annual Report, the increase in operating expenses (without non-cash items) in FY2016 of approximately 14.0% was mainly due to the increase in corporate marketing fee and expenditure for corporate transactions.

LETTER FROM BAOQIAO PARTNERS

(c) Prospects of the Group

The Group’s business environment remains challenging. As disclosed in the 2016 Annual Report and discussed above, the revenue from the trading of natural resources and commodities business decreased by HK$212.6 million or 81.6% from HK$260.6 million for FY2015 to HK$48.0 million for FY2016. In view of the slowing down of the trading of natural resources and commodities business, the Company has been looking for opportunities to diversify its business and is considering opportunities to invest in the online distribution of merchandises and the sale of trendy products in the Greater China region. The Group has also commenced investments in Hong Kong listed equities in order to generate additional return. Nonetheless, although the Group’s financial position has improved in FY2016 as compared to FY2015, as evidenced by the increased in net assets in FY2016 over FY2015 and the Group had successfully reduced its losses for FY2016 as compared to FY2015, given (i) it was loss making for 4 consecutive financial years; (ii) new business including the consumer product business are relatively new and the revenue and profit contributed from these new business are relatively insignificant in FY2016; and (iii) investment return can be unstable, it is uncertain that the Group could turnaround in the near future.

II. Claims and potential litigation

As announced by the Company in an announcement dated 9 September 2016, the Company received a letter (the “ Demand Letter ”) from Messrs. Ho & Tam, solicitors acting for Optima Capital Limited (the “ Claimant ”) on 8 September 2016, demanding the Company to pay a sum of HK$1,515,980, being the outstanding financial advisory fee (the “ Service Fee ”) in connection with a proposed acquisition of the entire equity interest in Southernpec Singapore Storage and Logistics Limited allegedly owed by the Company to the Claimant. Notice is also given in the Demand Letter that, unless the Service Fee is paid to the Claimant by 15 September 2016, the Claimant will institute legal proceedings against the Company for recovering the Service Fee and/ or damages, interest and costs without further notice. As advised by the Company, the Company is in the course of seeking legal advice in respect of the above matter.

After discussion with the management of the Company, we understand that the Company is of the view that the Company has paid the Claimant for the service it rendered and is not indebted to the Claimant for the alleged outstanding amount. Also, the management of the Company considers that the alleged outstanding amount is not material to the Group and is not expected to have any significant impact to the current financial position of the Group as a whole.

As disclosed in the 2016 Annual Report, the Company has net assets of approximately HK$222.7 million and cash and cash equivalents of approximately HK$24.0 million. The amount of Service Fee of HK$1,515,980 represents approximately 0.68% and 6.32% to the net assets and cash and cash equivalents of the Company as at 31 March 2016 respectively. As such, we concur with the Company’s view that the alleged outstanding amount is not material to the Group and is not expected to have any significant impact to the current financial position of the Group as a whole.

LETTER FROM BAOQIAO PARTNERS

The above table demonstrates that during the Review Period, the percentage of the average daily trading volume of the Shares were in the range of approximately 0.10% to 1.80% with an average of approximately 0.54%. The above statistics revealed that trading in the Shares was relatively thin during the Review Period and the Shares were generally illiquid in the open market. The Share Offer presents an opportunity for those Independent Shareholders who consider disposing their significant number of Shares in the open market, as they can dispose their Shares without exerting the downward pressure on the market price of the Shares as a result of the disposal. However, Independent Shareholders should take into account that the Share Offer Price is at a discount of approximately 27.59% to the market price of the Shares of HK$0.058 as at the Latest Practicable Date and is at a discount of approximately 42.5% to the average closing price of the Shares of HK$0.073 during the Review Period, the Share Offer Price may not be considered as attractive for the Independent Shareholders to dispose their Shares at.

(b) Comparable analysis

To further evaluate the fairness and reasonableness of the Share Offer, we also considered a comparison of general offers conducted by other companies listed on the Main Board and the Growth Enterprise Market of the Stock Exchange. Based on the information available from the Stock Exchange’s website, we have reviewed, so far as we are aware of, all the general offers with consideration in cash triggered by change in control announced by the companies listed on the Main Board or Growth Enterprise Market of the Stock Exchange during the period from 10 August 2015, being twelve (12) months immediately preceding the Last Trading Day, to the Latest Practicable Date (the “ Comparable Period ”). We are unable to identify subject companies which have business nature close to that of the Company. Given that the Company has been loss making and with market capitalization of approximately HK$238.3 million as at the Latest Practicable Date, we try to narrow down the scope of the comparison by selecting those offers with subject companies reported loss in their latest audited results prior to the announcement of the respective offer and with a market capitalization of not more than HK$1 billion (the “ Comparable Offers ”). To the best of our knowledge, after making reasonable enquires and as far as we are aware, there are 13 listed companies which meet our selection criteria, which represent an exhaustive list of all the comparable companies meeting the aforementioned criteria as identified by us. We have considered to select subject companies which reported loss in their latest audited results prior to the announcement of the respective offer and with a market capitalization of not more than HK$500 million, however, the sample size would be too small and not representative.

Notes:

  1. The premium/discount ratios in the above table are obtained from the announcements of general offer of the Comparable Offers.

  2. premium/discount ratio marked with “#” are calculated by using historical 30-day average prices divided by the offer price as they were not disclosed in the announcement of the Comparable Offers.

31

LETTER FROM BAOQIAO PARTNERS

As shown in the table above, the average of the offer prices of the Comparable Offers represent premiums of 4.98%, 13.35%, 18.59% and 29.15% to the LTD Price, the 5 Days Average Price, the 10 Days Average Price and 30 Days Average Price respectively, while the Share Offer Price represents discounts of approximately 12.50%, 7.89%, 3.23% and 1.64% to the LTD Price, the 5 Days Average Price, the 10 Days Average Price and 30 Days Average Price respectively. Based on the analysis of the Comparable Offers, we consider that the Share Offer Price is not fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned. We note that the range of the premium/discount ratios in the above analysis is relatively large, nonetheless, we are of the view that the analysis on Comparable Offers illustrates the current market valuation of the companies of the Comparable Offers. As such, we are of the view that the Comparable Offers are fair and representative samples.

VII. The Option Offer

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were an aggregate of 287,732,536 Options outstanding, of which (a) 40,053,000 Options were granted on 17 February 2014 with an exercise price of HK$0.234 each, (b) 85,241,000 Options were granted on 21 February 2014 with an exercise price of HK$0.253 each, and (c) 162,438,536 Options were granted on 13 October 2014 with an exercise price of HK$0.360 each. Therefore, based on the Share Offer Price of HK$0.042, all the Options are out-of-money and their implied intrinsic value was nil. Accordingly, we consider the Option Offer Price of the nominal amount of HK$0.001 per Option to be fair and reasonable so far as the Optionholders are concerned.

As disclosed in the Offer Document, the Option Offer is conditional only upon the Share Offer becoming unconditional in all respects.

RECOMMENDATION

Having taken into consideration of the following principal factors and reasons regarding the Share Offer and the Option Offer including:

  • (i) the Share Offer Price represents a discount of approximately 12.50% over the closing price of the Shares on the Last Trading Day; a discount of approximately 7.89% to the average closing price per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five (5) consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day; a discount of approximately 3.23% to the average closing price per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last ten (10) consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day; a discount of approximately 1.64% to the average closing price per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last thirty (30) consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

  • (ii) the Share Offer Price represents a discount of approximately 42.5% to the average closing price and a discount of approximately 68.2% to the maximum closing price during the Review Period;

32

LETTER FROM BAOQIAO PARTNERS

  • (iii) the Share Offer Price represents a discount of approximately 27.59% to the prevailing market price as at the Latest Practicable Date;

  • (iv) a discount of approximately 22.22% to the audited consolidated net assets per Share of approximately HK$0.054 as at 31 March 2016, calculated based on the Group’s audited consolidated net assets of approximately HK$222,694,000 as at 31 March 2016 and 4,108,716,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date; and

  • (v) the offer prices of the Comparable Offers represent premiums of 4.98%, 13.35%, 18.59% and 29.15% to the LTD Price, the 5 Days Average Price, the 10 Days Average Price and 30 Days Average Price respectively, while the Share Offer Price represents discounts of approximately 12.50%, 7.89%, 3.23% and 1.64% to the LTD Price, the 5 Days Average Price, the 10 Days Average Price and 30 Days Average Price respectively,

we consider that the terms of the Share Offer are not fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to, and we recommend the Independent Shareholders to, reject the Share Offer.

As the Options outstanding are out of the money with no implied intrinsic value based on the Share Offer Price, we consider that the Option Offer Price of HK$0.001 is fair and reasonable so far as the Optionholders are concerned. According, we advise the Independent Board Committee to advise the Optionholders to, and we recommend the Optionholders to, accept the Option Offer.

However, the Optionholders are reminded that the Option Offer is conditional upon the Share Offer becoming unconditional in all respects. As the Share Offer is subject to a number of conditions which may or may not be fulfilled, the Offers may or may not become unconditional.

Given the financial performance and uncertainties over prospects of the Group, and the trading of the Shares is relatively illiquid, the Share Offer presents the Independent Shareholders an opportunity to dispose their Shares without exerting downward pressure on the market price of the Shares, however, having considered the Share Offer Price represents a significant discount to (i) the average closing price and the maximum closing price during the Review Period; (ii) the prevailing market price as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (iii) the net assets per share as discussed above, we consider that the terms of the Share Offer are not fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

Independent Shareholders who wish to dispose their Shares are reminded that they should monitor the price of the Shares during the Offer Period and should consider accepting the Share Offer if the net amount receivable under the Share Offer would exceed the net proceeds from the sales of such Shares in the open market.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of

BaoQiao Partners Capital Limited Monica Lin

Managing Director

Under the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Enterprise Income Tax (the “EIT Law”) and Implementation Regulations of the EIT Law, the tax rate of the PRC subsidiaries is 25%. No EIT was provided for the period ended 30 June 2016 as the Group did not generate any assessable profit arising from the PRC.

Hong Kong Profits Tax was calculated at 16.5% on the estimated assessable profits for the period ended 30 June 2016. No Hong Kong Profits Tax was provided for the period ended 30 June 2016 as the Group did not have assessable profit arising or derived from Hong Kong during the period.

According to the current applicable laws of the Macau Special Administrative Region, Macau Complementary Tax is calculated at a progressive rate from 9% to 12% (2014: 9% to 12%) on the estimated assessable profits for the year with the first two hundred thousand Patacas assessable profits being free from tax. However, Greenfortune (Macao Commercial Offshore) Limited (“Greenfortune”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, operating in Macau during the year is in compliance with the Decree-Law No. 58/99/M of Macau Special Administrative Region, and thus, the profits generated by the subsidiary is exempted from the Macau Complementary Tax. No provision for profits tax in Macau has been made for both periods as the Group did not generate any assessable profits arising in Macau.

The share of income tax expense attributable to the associates for the period amounting to HK$304,000 (2015: HK$429,000) was included in “Share of profit of associates” in the unaudited consolidated results.

7. (LOSS) EARNING PER SHARE

(a) Basic (loss) earnings per share

The calculations of basic loss per share for the three months ended 30 June 2016 were based on the unaudited consolidated loss of HK$6,746,000 (2015: profit of HK$16,704,000) attributable to the owners of the Company for the three months ended 30 June 2016 and the weighted average number of 4,108,716,000 shares in issue (weighted average number of shares in issue for the three months ended 30 June 2015 (restated): 2,310,589,000 shares).

(b) Diluted (loss) earnings per share

The computation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended 30 June 2016 does not assume the exercise of the Company’s share options and warrants as they would reduce loss per share.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended 30 June 2015 was based on the unaudited consolidated profit attributable to the owners of the Company of HK$16,704,000 and the weighted average number of 2,317,506,000 shares in issue for the three months ended 30 June 2015 which has been adjusted for the impact of the open offer in January 2016, calculated as follows:

Weighted average number of shares for the purpose of basic earnings per share

HKFRS 9 Financial instruments

HKFRS 9 issued in 2009 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. HKFRS 9 was subsequently amended in 2010 to include the requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and for derecognition, and in 2013 to include the new requirements for general hedge accounting. Another revised version of HKFRS 9 was issued in 2014 mainly to include (a) impairment requirements for financial assets; and (b) limited amendments to the classification and measurement requirements by introducing a ‘fair value through other comprehensive income’ (“FVTOCI”) measurement category for certain simple debt instruments.

I-16

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Key requirements of HKFRS 9 are described below:

  • all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” are required to be subsequently measured at 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. Debt instruments that are held within a business model whose objective is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and that have contractual terms that give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, are measured at FVTOCI. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair value at the end of subsequent accounting periods. In addition, under HKFRS 9, entities may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held-for-trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognised in profit or loss.

  • with regard to the measurement of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss, HKFRS 9 requires that 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 recognition 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 fair value through profit or loss is presented in profit or loss.

  • in relation to the impairment of financial assets, HKFRS 9 requires an expected credit loss model, as opposed to an incurred credit loss model under HKAS 39. The expected credit loss model requires an entity to account for expected credit losses and changes in those expected credit losses at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition. In other words, it is no longer necessary for a credit event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised.

  • The new general hedge accounting requirements retain the three types of hedge accounting mechanisms currently available in HKAS 39. Under HKFRS 9, greater flexibility has been introduced to the types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting, specifically broadening the types of instruments that qualify for hedging instruments and the types of risk components of non-financial items that are eligible for hedge accounting. In addition, the retrospective quantitative effectiveness test has been removed. Enhanced disclosure requirements about an entity’s risk management activities have also been introduced.

The directors of the Company anticipate that the adoption of HKFRS 9 in the future may have impact on amounts reported in respect of the Group’s available-for-sale financial assets which are currently stated at cost less impairment and will be measured at fair value upon adoption as well as the impairment of financial assets will be provided on expected credit loss model to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition. Presently, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect until a detailed review has been completed.

HKFRS 15 “Revenue from contracts with customers”

HKFRS 15 was issued which establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. HKFRS 15 will supersede the current revenue recognition guidance including HKAS 18 “Revenue”, HKAS 11 “Construction contracts” and the related Interpretations when it becomes effective.

The core principle of HKFRS 15 is that an entity should recognise revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Specifically, the Standard introduces a 5-step approach to revenue recognition:

  • Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer

  • • Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract

  • Step 3: Determine the transaction price

  • Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

  • Step 5: Recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation

I-17

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Under HKFRS 15, an entity recognises revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, i.e. when ‘control’ of the goods or services underlying the particular performance obligation is transferred to the customer. Far more prescriptive guidance has been added in HKFRS 15 to deal with specific scenarios. Furthermore, extensive disclosures are required by HKFRS 15.

The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of HKFRS 15 in the future may have an impact on the amounts reported and disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements. However, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of that effect until a detailed review has been completed.

HKFRS 16 Leases

HKFRS 16, which will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 and will supersede HKAS 17 Leases, provides a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and their treatment in the financial statements of both lessors and lessees.

The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases unless the lease term is 12 months or less or the underlying asset has a low value.

A lessee is required to recognise a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement of lease arrangement. Right-of-use asset includes the amount of initial measurement of lease liability, any lease payment made to the lessor at or before the lease commencement date, estimated cost to be incurred by the lessee for dismantling or removing the underlying assets from and restoring the site, as well as any other initial direct cost incurred by the lessee. Lease liability represents the present value of the lease payments.

Subsequently, depreciation and impairment expenses, if any, on the right-of-use asset will be charged to profit or loss following the requirements of HKAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment, while lease liability will be increased by the interest accrual, which will be charged to profit or loss, and deducted by lease payments.

As set out in note 35, total operating lease commitment of the Group in respect of leased premises as at 31 March 2016 amounted to HK$8,527,000. The directors of the Group do not expect the adoption of HKFRS 16 as compared with the current accounting policy would result in significant impact on the Group’s result but it is expected that certain portion of these lease commitments will be required to be recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

Except as described above, the directors of the Company anticipates that the application of the other new and revised HKFRSs will have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market of the Stock Exchange (the “Listing Rules”) and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

The provisions of the new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance regarding preparation of accounts and directors’ reports and audits became effective for the Company for the financial year ended 31 March 2016. Further, the disclosure requirements set out in the Listing Rules regarding annual accounts have been amended with reference to the new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and to streamline with HKFRSs. Accordingly the presentation and disclosure of information in the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 31 March 2016 have been changed to comply with these new requirements. Comparative information in respect of the financial year ended 31 March 2015 are presented or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements based on the new requirements. Information previously required to be disclosed under the predecessor Hong Kong Companies Ordinance or Listing Rules but not under the new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance or amended Listing Rules are not disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period, as explained in the accounting policies set out below.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

I-18

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of HKFRS 2 Share-based payment, leasing transactions that are within the scope of HKAS 17 Leases, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in HKAS 2 Inventories or value in use in HKAS 36 Impairment of assets.

In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

  • Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

  • Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The principal accounting policies are set out below.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:

  • has power over the investee;

  • has exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

  • has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date when the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each item of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members of the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in existing subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company.

I-19

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred to another category of equity as specified/ permitted by applicable HKFRSs). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under HKAS 39 or, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.

Business combinations

Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value, except that:

  • deferred tax assets or liabilities and liabilities or assets related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with HKAS 12 “Income taxes” and HKAS 19 “Employee benefits” respectively;

  • liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or sharebased payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in accordance with HKFRS 2 “Share-based payment” at the acquisition date (see the accounting policy below); and

  • assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with HKFRS 5 “Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations” are measured in accordance with that Standard.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses and is presented separately in the consolidated statement of financial position.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the relevant cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. For goodwill arising on an acquisition in a reporting period, the cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment before the end of that reporting period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit first, and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the amount of profit or loss on disposal.

Interests in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies.

I-20

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. The financial statements of associates used for equity accounting purposes are prepared using uniform accounting policies as those of the Group for like transactions and events in similar circumstances. Under the equity method, investments in associates are initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. When the Group’s share of losses of an associate exceeds the Group’s interest in that associate (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate), the Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

An investment in an associate is accounted for using the equity method from the date of which the investee becomes an associate. On acquisition of the investment in an associate, any excess of the cost of the investment over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee is recognised as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment.

The requirements of HKAS 39 are applied to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any impairment loss with respect to the Group’s investment in an associate. When necessary, the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment in accordance with HKAS 36 “Impairment of assets” as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal) with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognised forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognised in accordance with HKAS 36 to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date when the investment ceases to be an associate or when the investment is classified as held-for-sale. When the Group retains an interest in the former associate and the retained interest is a financial asset, the Group measures the retained interest at fair value at that date and the fair value is regarded as its fair value on initial recognition in accordance with HKAS 39. The difference between the carrying amount of the associate at the date the equity method was discontinued, and the fair value of any retained interest and any proceeds from disposing of a partial interest in the associate is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal of the associate. In addition, the Group accounts for all amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate on the same basis as would be required if that associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. Therefore, if a gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income by that associate would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Group reclassifies the gain or loss from equity to profit or loss (as a reclassification adjustment) when the equity method is discontinued.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sales related taxes.

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the goods are delivered and titles have passed, at which time all the following conditions are satisfied:

  • the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;

  • the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

  • the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

  • it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and

  • the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Deposits received from purchases prior to meeting the above criteria for revenue recognition are included in consolidated statement of financial position under current liabilities.

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.

I-21

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

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 the profit or loss.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the weighted average method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at costs less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation for intangible assets with finite useful lives is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination

Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are identified and recognised separately from goodwill and are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost).

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets with finite useful lives are reported at costs less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains and losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised.

Impairment losses on tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill (see the accounting policy in respect of goodwill above)

At the end of the reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets with finite useful lives 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. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or a cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately in profit or loss.

I-22

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Where 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 (or a cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

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 as and included in profit or loss under the finance costs in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred.

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 amount as reported in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 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 temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax base used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary difference to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those 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. In addition, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associate, 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 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 a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of the reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit 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.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss.

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 lessee

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

I-23

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

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 the respective 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. Non-monetary 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. HK$) 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).

Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the foreign operation is disposed of.

Retirement benefit costs

Payments to state-managed retirement benefit schemes and Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme are charged as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

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

Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), available-for-sale (“AFS”) financial assets and loans and receivables. The classification depends on the nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition. All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace.

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. Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments.

Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is (i) contingent consideration that may be paid by an acquirer as part of a business combination to which HKFRS 3 applies, (ii) held-for-trading, or (iii) it is designated as at FVTPL.

I-24

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

  • A financial asset is classified as held-for-trading if:

  • it has been acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term; or

  • on initial recognition it is a part of a portfolio of identified financial instruments that the Group manages together and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or

  • it is a derivative that is not designated and effective as a hedging instrument.

Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss includes any dividend or interest earned on the financial assets and is included in other gains and losses, net. Fair value is determined in the manner described in note 5.

AFS financial assets

AFS financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale or are not classified as loans and receivables or financial assets at FVTPL.

Dividends on AFS equity instruments are recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive the dividends is established.

AFS 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 each reporting period (see the accounting policy in respect of impairment loss on financial assets below).

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, loans receivables, other receivables and deposits, loans to associates and cash and cash equivalents) are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses (see accounting policy on impairment of financial assets below).

Interest income is recognised by applying the interest rate, except for short-term receivables where the recognition of interest would be immaterial.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those at FVTPL, are assessed for indicators of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Financial assets are impaired when there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition, the estimated future cash flows have been affected.

For loans and receivables, objective evidence of impairment could include:

  • significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or

  • breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interest and principal payments; or

  • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial re-organisation.

For certain categories of loans and receivables, such as trade receivables and loans 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 and observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

For financial assets carried at amortised costs, the amount of impairment loss is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.

I-25

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The carrying amount of loans and receivables is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all loans and receivables with the exception of trade receivables and loans 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 the trade receivables and loans receivables are considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.

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.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Debts and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Warrants

Warrants issued by the Company that will be settled by a fixed amount of cash for a fixed number of the Company’s own equity instruments are equity instruments. The fair value of warrants at initial recognition are recognised in equity (warrants reserve). The warrants reserve will be transferred to share capital and share premium accounts upon the exercise of the warrants. When the warrants are still not exercised at the expiry date, the amount previously recognised in the warrants reserve will be transferred to accumulated losses.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities including trade payables, accruals and other payables, bank overdrafts, bank borrowings, promissory note, bonds and other borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

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 (including all fees and points 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 liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. Interest expense is recognised on an effective interest basis.

Derivative financial instruments

Contracts to buy or sell a non-financial item that can be settled net in cash or another financial instrument, or by exchanging financial instruments are recognised as derivative financial instruments with the exception of contracts that were entered into and continued to be held for the purpose of the receipt or delivery of a non-financial item in accordance with the entity’s expected purchase, sale or usage requirements.

Derecognition

The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.

On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognised in profit or loss.

I-26

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the obligation specified in the relevant contract is discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

Share-based payment transactions

Share options granted to employees

The fair value of services received determined by reference to the fair value of share options granted at the grant date is recognised as expense immediately if the share options granted will vest immediately, with a corresponding increase in equity (share-based payment reserve).

When the share options are exercised, the amount previously recognised in share-based payment reserve will be transferred to share premium. When the share options are forfeited after the vesting date or still not exercised at the expiry date, the amount previously recognised in share-based payment reserve will be transferred to accumulated losses.

The Group recognises an expense for the services rendered by employees and when these services are received. When the employees began rendering their services in respect of a particular grant of share option prior to the grant date of that grant, the Group estimates the grant date fair value of the equity instrument by estimating the fair value of the equity instrument at the end of the reporting period for the purposes of recognising the services received. Once the date of grant has been established, the Group revises the earlier estimate to the grant date fair value of equity instrument.

Share options granted to consultants

Share options issued in exchange for services are measured at the fair values of the services received, unless that fair value cannot be reliably measured, in which case the services received are measured by reference to the fair value of the share options granted. The fair values of the services received are recognised as expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity (share-based payment reserve), when the counterparties render services, unless the services qualify for recognition as assets.

4.

KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Estimated impairment of goodwill, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets

Determining whether goodwill, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are impaired requires an estimation of recoverable amounts of the property, plant and equipment, intangible assets or the respective cash generating units (“CGU”) in which the goodwill, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets belong, which is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal. If there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, recoverable amount shall be estimated for individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Group shall determine the recoverable amount of the CGU to which the asset belongs. The value in use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the assets or CGUs and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value. The discount rate represents a rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the future cash flow estimates have not been adjusted. During the year ended 31 March 2016, the Group recognised impairment losses in respect of goodwill of nil (2015: HK$29,657,000), property, plant and equipment of HK$6,894,000 (2015: nil) and intangible assets of nil (2015: HK$95,935,000), respectively. As at 31 March 2016, the carrying amounts of goodwill, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are HK$34,279,000, HK$1,448,000 and HK$20,992,000 (2015: nil, HK$9,987,000 and HK$19,000,000), respectively.

Impairment of interests in associates

Determining whether interests in associates are impaired requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the respective associates which is higher of value in use and fair value less cost of disposal. The value in use calculation requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the associates, suitable discount rates and the proceeds on ultimate disposal of the associates. Where the actual future cash flows are less than or more than expected or upon the management’s revision of estimated cash flows due to change in conditions, facts and circumstances, a material impairment loss or reversal of impairment loss may arise. As at 31 March 2016, the carrying amount of interests in associates is HK$21,784,000 (2015: HK$19,108,000) including accumulated impairment loss of HK$35,441,000 (2015: HK$35,441,000). Details of the value in use calculation are disclosed in note 16.

I-27

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Allowances for bad and doubtful debts

When there is objective evidence that trade receivables, loans receivables, loans to associates and loans to investees may be impaired, the Group estimates the future cash flows of those balances. The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the assets’ carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial assets’ original effective interest rate (i.e. the effective interest rate computed on initial recognition). Where the actual future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. At 31 March 2016, the carrying amounts of trade receivables, loans receivables, loans to associates and loans to investees are HK$3,774,000, HK$39,818,000, HK$5,754,000 and HK$11,654,000 (2015: HK$1,803,000, HK$21,725,000, HK$14,455,000 and nil), respectively.

Depreciation

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the relevant assets, after taking into account their estimated residual value, if any. The Group reviews the estimated useful lives of the assets annually in order to determine the amount of depreciation expenses to be recorded during the periods. The useful lives are based on the Group’s historical experience with similar assets taking into account anticipated technological changes. The depreciation expenses for future periods would be adjusted if there are significant changes from previous estimates. At 31 March 2016, the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is HK$1,448,000 (2015: HK$9,987,000).

Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s major financial instruments include available-for-sale investments, held-for-trading investments, trade receivables, loans receivables, other receivables and deposits, loans to associates, cash and cash equivalents, trade payables, accruals and other payables, bank overdrafts, bank borrowings, promissory note, bonds and other borrowings. Details of these financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments include market risk (interest rate risk, currency risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk 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.

Market risk

(i) Currency risk

Certain cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables of the Group are denominated in foreign currencies which are different from functional currencies of respective group entities. As at 31 March 2016 and 2015, cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables of respective group entities denominated in foreign currencies were immaterial. The Group does not have a foreign currency hedging policy. However, management monitors foreign exchange exposure and will consider hedging significant foreign currency exposure should the need arise.

I-28

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

(ii) Interest rate risk

The Group’s cash flow interest rate risk primarily relates to the variable-rate cash and cash equivalents as well as floating-rate bank overdrafts and bank borrowings (note 26). The Group is also exposed to fair value interest rate risk in relation to its fixed-rate loans to associates (note 16), fixed-rate loans receivables (note 22), fixed-rate loans to investees (note 23), fixed-rate bank borrowings (note 26), fixedrate promissory note (note 27), fixed-rate bonds (note 28) and fixed-rate other borrowings (note 29). The Group currently does not have interest rate hedging policy. However, the management will consider hedging significant interest rate exposure should the need arise.

The Group’s exposures to interest rate risk 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 Dollar Prime rate arising from the Group’s Hong Kong dollar denominated borrowings.

The management considers that the Group’s exposure to cash flow interest rate risk on variable-rate cash and cash equivalents, variable-rate bank overdrafts and bank borrowings as a result of the change of market interest rate is insignificant due to its short-term maturity and thus no sensitivity analysis is prepared for interest rate risk.

(iii) Price risk

The Group is exposed to price risk through its natural resources trading business of which their prices fluctuate directly with the commodity price (i.e. price of magnetite sand concentrate and palm oil). The commodity price is affected by a wide range of global and domestic factors which are beyond the control of the Group. The fluctuation in commodity prices may have favourable or unfavourable impacts to the Group. The management considered that the price risk is mitigated through entering into corresponding contracts with customers and the Group’s pricing policy in relation to the suppliers’ and customers’ contracts. Accordingly, the exposure of the Group to price risk is considered insignificant by the management of the Group and hence no sensitivity analysis is presented.

The Group is exposed to equity price risk through its investments in listed and unlisted equity securities. The management manages this exposure by maintaining a portfolio of investments with different risks. The Group’s equity price risk is mainly concentrated on equity instruments quoted on the Stock Exchange. In addition, the Group has delegated the financial controller of the Group to monitor the price risk and will consider hedging the risk exposure should the need arise.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period excluding available-for-sale investments measured at cost less impairment. For sensitivity analysis purpose, the sensitivity rate is set as 10% as a result of the volatile financial market.

If the prices of the respective equity instruments had been 10% higher/lower, the loss for the year ended 31 March 2016 would decrease/increase by HK$8,327,000 (2015: nil) as a result of the change in fair value of held-for-trading investments.

Credit risk

As at 31 March 2016, the Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade receivables, loans receivables, refundable deposit paid for acquisition of an entity, loans to associates, loans to investees and cash and cash equivalents. As at 31 March 2015, the Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to trade receivables, loans receivables, refundable deposit paid for acquisition of an entity, loans to associates and cash and cash equivalents.

As at 31 March 2016 and 2015, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties is the carrying amounts of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The Group has significant concentration of credit risk on loans to associates as the credit risk is attributable to one counterparty (2015: two counterparties) at 31 March 2016. The Group also had concentration of credit risks on loans receivables, loans to investees and refundable deposit paid for acquisition of an entity of HK$39,818,000 (2015: HK$21,725,000), HK$11,654,000 (2015: nil) and HK$500,000 (2015: HK$10,000,000), respectively as at 31 March 2016. The directors of the Company continuously monitors the credit quality and financial conditions of these counterparties and the level of exposure to ensure the follow-up action is taken to recover the debt.

I-29

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

As at 31 March 2016, held-for-trading investments of HK$80,446,000 (2015: nil) are held under a broker’s custodian account.

In order to minimise the credit risk, management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determination of credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, management reviews the recoverable amount of each individual debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate impairment losses are made for irrecoverable amounts.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

Liquidity risk

The Group manages its liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents considered adequate by the management to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The management monitors the utilisation of bank and other borrowings and ensure compliance with loan covenants.

The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. Specifically, bank borrowings 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 financial liabilities are based on the agreed repayment dates. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows. To the extent that interest flows are floating rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from interest rate at the end of the reporting period.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Bank borrowings with a repayment on demand clause are included in the “within 1 year or repayable on demand” time band in the above maturity analysis. As at 31 March 2016, the aggregate carrying amounts of these bank borrowings was amounted to HK$1,185,000 (2015: nil). Taking into account the Group’s financial position, the management does not believe that it is probable that the banks will exercise their discretionary rights to demand immediate repayment. The management believes that such bank borrowings will be repaid in accordance with the scheduled repayment dates set out in the loan agreements.

For the purpose of managing liquidity risk, management reviews the expected cash flows information of the Group’s bank borrowings based on the scheduled repayment dates set out in the bank borrowings agreements and set out in the table below:

Fair value measurements of financial instruments

Fair value of the Group’s financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The Group’s held-for-trading investments are measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period. The following table gives information about how the fair values of these financial assets are determined (in particular, the valuation technique(s) and inputs used), as well as the level of the fair value hierarchy into which the fair value measurements are categorised (levels 1 to 3) based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements is observable.

Financial assets 31 March 2016 Fair value hierarchy key inputs

investments – listed securities active market

There is no transfer between different levels of the fair value hierarchy for the year ended 31 March 2016.

Fair value of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The management of the Group estimates the fair value of its financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortised cost using the discounted cash flows analysis.

The management of the Group considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the consolidated statement of financial position approximate their fair values.

6. REVENUE AND SEGMENT INFORMATION

Revenue represents the amounts received and receivable for goods sold and services provided by the Group, net of discounts and sales related taxes for both years.

Segment revenue and results

The Group determines its operating segment and measurement of segment profit based on the internal reports to executive directors, the Group’s chief operating decision makers (the “CODM”), for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment.

I-31

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

On 12 October 2015, the Company acquired the entire issued share capital of MD Inc. Limited (“MD”), which engaged in the sale of consumer products. Accordingly, a new operating segment is established. During the year ended 31 March 2016, the Group also engaged in another new operating segment, investment in securities in Hong Kong.

In addition, because the distribution of sports cars and 3D phone operations are still in the preparation stage and no revenue is generated during the year, these operations are not included in the internal reports provided to the CODM and hence not considered as operating segments.

During the year ended 31 March 2016, the Group’s reportable and operating segments are therefore as follows:

  • (a) the natural resources and commodities business segment engages in the trading of natural resources and commodities including but not limited to iron ore concentrate, coal and crude palm oil etc. (“Natural Resources and Commodities”);

  • (b) the manufacturing and trading of packaged food (i.e. noodles) (“Packaged Food”);

  • (c) the money lending business (“Money Lending”);

  • (d) the investments in securities in Hong Kong (“Investments in Securities”); and

  • (e) the trading of fashion items and camera bags (“Trading of Consumer Products”).

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The accounting policies of the operating and reportable segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies described in note 3. Segment (loss) profit represents the (loss incurred) profit earned by each segment without allocation of interest income, amortisation of intangible assets, impairment losses recognised in respect of goodwill, intangible assets, other receivables and property, plant and equipment, loss on loan to an investee, share of profits of associates, unallocated corporate expenses and certain finance costs. This is the measure reported to the Group’s CODM for the purpose of resource allocation and performance assessment. The CODM only focuses on monitoring segment performances without reviewing segment assets and liabilities. Accordingly, no segment assets and segment liabilities are presented.

Note: On 17 August 2015, the Group’s equity interest in Joyful Ease was diluted from 49% to 19% as a result of capital injection by other shareholders to Joyful Ease. On the same day, the Group irrevocably surrendered its rights to vote at both meetings of shareholders and directors relating to financial and operating decisions of Joyful Ease. Against this background, the directors of the Company consider that the Group does not have significant influence on Joyful Ease as the board of directors of Joyful Ease is dominated by the controlling shareholder, and the Group merely has protective rights in attending the board meetings to oversee the daily operations carried out by Joyful Ease. Therefore, the investment in Joyful Ease is classified as “available-for-sale investment” in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The directors of the Company carried out impairment review during the years ended 31 March 2016 and 2015 on the carrying amount of its interest in Goldenbase individually as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount based on the higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal with its carrying amount. In determining the value in use of the investment, the Group, by making reference to a business valuation performed by Roma Appraisals Limited, an independent qualified professional valuer not connected with the Group, estimated the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the dividend to be received from the associate and from its ultimate disposal, by using discount rate of 14.55% (2015: 14.6%) to discount the cash flow projections to net present values. No impairment loss was recognised during the years ended 31 March 2016 and 2015.

For the purpose of impairment testing during the year ended 31 March 2016, goodwill has been allocated to the CGU of sale of consumer products business segment. The recoverable amount of the CGU has been determined based on a value in use calculation. The calculation uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a 5-years period and discount rate of 11.06%, The growth rate is based on the budgeted growth rate of 3%, which is determined by management’s expectations for the market development, and does not exceed the average long-term growth rate for the relevant industry. Other key assumption of the value in use calculation is based on the budgeted cash inflow/outflows which include budgeted sales and gross margin on respective products from the CGU. No impairment on goodwill was considered necessary during the year ended 31 March 2016 and management believes that any reasonably possible change in any of the assumption would not cause the carrying amount of the CGU to exceed the recoverable amount of the CGU as at 31 March 2016.

During the year ended 31 March 2015, the global market price of iron ore concentrate had been decreased from approximately US$120 per tonne in early April 2014 to approximately US$52 per tonne in late March 2015. The significant decrease in market price and the excessive global supply of iron ore concentrate affected the initiative of potential customers and suppliers in carrying out trades. Also, the Group was unable to sign additional trading contracts in iron ore concentrate, the management considered that there was no future cash flow generated from the CGU of trading of iron ore concentrate and a full impairment on goodwill of HK$29,657,000 was recognised during the year ended 31 March 2015.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

During the year ended 31 March 2015, the global market price of iron ore concentrate has been decreased from approximately US$120 per tonne in early April 2014 to approximately US$52 per tonne in late March 2015. Given that the Trading Contracts with suppliers and customer are priced based on the prevailing market price at the date of the relevant transaction, the decrease in market price of iron ore concentrate affected the initiative of the trading parties in the transaction in particular the terms including in the Trading Contracts were no longer favourable to the suppliers. The suppliers have delayed the supply of iron ore concentrate because the suppliers’ cost of mining and production outweigh the selling price as stated in the suppliers’ agreements. In February 2015, the suppliers renegotiated the revised trading terms with the Group and accordingly, the Group also renegotiated with the customer in formulating a revised trading term so as to resume the business. No agreement was entered into with customer and suppliers on the revised timetable to resume the trading and selling/purchase price of the iron ore concentrate during the year ended 31 March 2015.

The management took into consideration of the subsequent iron ore concentrate price and the inability to obtain sufficient information to satisfy itself the ability of the customer and suppliers to resume the trading of iron ore concentrate, management decided to make a full impairment of HK$95,935,000 against the remaining carrying amount of Trading Contracts during the year ended 31 March 2015.

During the year ended 31 March 2015, Bright Billion signed a distribution agreement with a supplier pursuant to which Bright Brillion was appointed as an authorised distributor and granted the rights of distribution, marketing and service of sports cars “Gumpert Apollo” for 10 years at a consideration of HK$20,000,000 in cash. The distribution rights have finite useful lives and are amortised on a straight-line basis over 10 years.

During the year ended 31 March 2016, there is a production delay by the supplier and delayed the commencement of distribution of sports cars business. As at 31 March 2016, the directors of the Company are still in the process of negotiation with the supplier for the extension of the license period and continue to amortise the distribution rights over the contractual period. The directors of the Company therefore reassessed the value of distribution rights in sports cars. For the purpose of impairment testing of distribution rights in sports cars during the year ended 31 March 2016, the recoverable amount of distribution rights in sports cars has been determined based on a value in use calculation. The calculation uses cash flow projections based on financial budget approved by management covering the remaining contract term and a discount rate of 13.81%. The key assumption of the value in use calculation of distribution rights in sports cars is based on the budgeted cash inflows/outflows that the distribution rights will be earned or expenses incurred through products sold.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

In addition, on 20 January 2016, the Group entered into shareholders’ agreements with an independent third party pursuant to which both parties agreed to invest into a company incorporated in Hong Kong, namely Ocean Group (Asia) Limited (“Ocean Group”). According to the agreements, the Group is required to pay HK$10,000,000, representing investment cost of HK$2,000 and shareholder’s loan of HK$9,998,000. The contribution represents 20% equity interest in Ocean Group. The directors of the Company consider that the Group does not have significant influence in Ocean Group based on the fact that the Group is not entitled to vote at shareholders meeting and does not have the right to appoint director. Therefore, the investment in Ocean Group of HK$2,000 is classified as “available-for-sale investment” in the consolidated statement of financial position. The shareholder’s loan is unsecured, interest free and provided to the investee based on percentage shareholding of respective shareholders. The directors of the Company expect that the shareholder’s loan will be repaid after five years from the end of the reporting period, and hence the amount is classified as a non-current asset. Such non-current interest-free loan to investee is adjusted to its fair value. At initial recognition, the fair value adjustment of HK$4,327,000 is capitalised to the cost of available-for-sale investments using effective interest rate of 11.96% per annum.

Before accepting any new customer, the Group assesses the potential customer’s credit quality and defines credit limits by customer. Credit limits attributable to customers are reviewed regularly. 100% (2015: 97%) of trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired have strong credit quality. These customers have no default of payment in the past and have good credit rating attributable under the credit review procedures used by the Group, including profitability, liquidity, financial leverage and operational performance quality of the counterparties.

The Group has a policy for allowance of bad and doubtful debts which is based on the evaluation of collectability and ageing analysis of accounts and on management’s judgement including the credit creditworthiness and the past collection history of each client.

Included in the Group’s trade receivables are debtors with aggregate carrying amount of nil (2015: HK$57,000), which are past due as at the end of the reporting period for which the Group has not provided for impairment loss as there has not been a significant change in credit quality of the trade receivable and the amounts are still considered recoverable. The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances. The average age of these receivables is nil (2015: 105 days).

In determining the recoverability of a trade receivable, the Group considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from the date credit was initially granted up to the end of the reporting period. The trade receivables past due but not provided for as at the end of the reporting period were either subsequently settled or no historical default of payments was noted by the respective customers. Concentration of credit risk arising from trade receivables is limited due to the customer base being large and unrelated. The directors believe that there is no further credit provision required in excess of the allowance for doubtful debts.

As at 31 March 2016, an amount of HK$500,000 (2015: nil) is classified as current assets, which is expected to be settled within twelve months after the end of reporting period. The management considered the recoverability of remaining balance of HK$9,500,000 (2015: nil) as remote, accordingly, full impairment of this HK$9,500,000 (2015: nil) was made during the year ended 31 March 2016.

  • (ii) The balance represents shareholder’s loans to Joyful Ease and Ocean Group of which are unsecured and interest-free.

The directors of the Company expect that the shareholder’s loan to Joyful Ease with principal amount of HK$9,000,000 will be repaid after five years from the date of derecognition of interest in Joyful Ease to available-for-sale investments, and hence the amount is classified as a non-current asset. Such non-current interest-free loan to investee is adjusted for revised estimates and HK$4,241,000 is debited to profit or loss using effective interest rate of 13.63% per annum, and the balance as at 31 March 2016 is HK$5,163,000.

On 6 September 2013, the Company issued a bond with principal amount of HK$80,000,000 to an independent third party. According to the terms of the bond, the maturity date was two years from the issue date. At the maturity date, the Company can elect at its discretion to extend the term for another one year. The bond carried interest at 20% per annum (the “Initial Interest Rate”) during the first 24 months and thereafter at progressive interest rate by an addition of 2% per annum to the Initial Interest Rate for every 3 months in the event of an extension of the maturity date of the bond. The Company can also redeem part or all of the bonds any time during the repayment term at principal amount and interest accrued up to redemption date. The extension option and early redemption option (collectively the derivative components) are considered not closely related to the host debt component. Both the host debt component and the derivative component have been valued as at 6 September 2013 on the basis carried out at that date by Roma Appraisals Limited, an independent qualified professional valuer not connected with the Group. In the opinion of the directors, the fair value of derivative components of this bond is insignificant. At initial recognition, the bonds of HK$73,136,000 is recognised based on fair value of HK$76,473,000 after deducting the transaction cost incurred of HK$3,337,000 resulting with the effective interest rate of the bonds is 25.77% per annum. The Company issued 130,000,000 warrants to the then bondholder together with the bond issued. Details of the warrants are disclosed in note 32. During the year ended 31 March 2015, the Company redeemed the bond with principal amount of HK$80,000,000.

The aggregate consideration of these bonds amounted to HK$27,000,000 which has been netted with the fully prepaid interest of HK$4,000,000. The effective interest rates of these bonds ranged from 5% to 6.594%. The maturity dates of the bonds ranged from 2 years to 7.5 years. During the year ended 31 March 2015, the Company redeemed the bond with principal amount of HK$11,000,000 upon maturity. Upon the maturity of another bond with principal amount of HK$10,000,000 on 18 September 2015, the Company extended the maturity date to 17 September 2016, carried at an interest of 12% per annum.

ACQUISITION OF A SUBSIDIARY

On 12 October 2015, the Group acquired entire equity interest in MD from two independent third parties (the “Vendor B”) at a consideration of HK$36,207,000. This acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method. MD is principally engaged in the Trading of Consumer Products business. In the opinion of directors of the Company, the acquisition of MD is an opportunity for the Group to diversify its existing business.

(ii) The amount represents the receivable from group company of HK$26,247,000 after provision for impairment loss of HK$3,286,000 prior to the loan assignment.

Acquisition-related costs amounting to approximately HK$351,000 have been excluded from the consideration transferred and have been recognised as an expense in the same period, included in other expenses in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year ended 31 March 2016.

Goodwill arose in the acquisition of MD because the cost of the combination included a control premium. In addition, the consideration paid for the combination effectively included amounts in relation to the benefit of future market development in the Trading of Consumer Products. These benefits are not recognised separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets.

None of the goodwill arising of the acquisition is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Included in the loss for the year is HK$1,488,000 attributable to the additional business generated by MD. Revenue for the year includes HK$4,330,000 generated from MD.

Had the acquisition been effected at the beginning of the reporting period, total Group’s revenue for the year ended 31 March 2016 would have been HK$91,382,000 and the total amount of loss of the Group for the year would have been HK$49,772,000.

36. RETIREMENT BENEFITS SCHEMES

The Group makes contributions to Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme (“MPF Scheme”) for all qualifying employees in Hong Kong. The assets of the schemes are held separately from those of the Group, in funds under the control of trustees. Both the Group and the employees contribute a fixed percentage of the relevant payroll to the MPF Scheme. Effective from 1 June 2014, the cap of contribution amount had been changed from HK$1,250 to HK$1,500 per employee per month.

The PRC employees of the Group are members of a state-managed retirement benefit scheme operated by the local government, including provision of housing provident fund, medical insurance, retirement insurance, unemployment insurance, labour injury insurance and pregnancy insurance. Pursuant to the existing schemes, the Group contributes 7%, 5%, 17%, 2%, 0.5% and 0.5% of the basic salary of its employees to the housing provident fund, medical insurance, retirement insurance, unemployment insurance, labour injury and pregnancy insurance respectively.

Employees employed by the Group’s operations in Macau are members of government-managed retirement benefits schemes operated by the Macau government. The Macau operations are required to pay a monthly fixed contribution to the retirement benefits schemes to fund the benefits.

The employer’s contribution to the MPF Schemes and various benefits schemes in the PRC and Macau is disclosed in note 12.

37. SHARE OPTION SCHEMES

The Company operates a share option scheme (the “Scheme”) for the purpose of providing incentives and rewards to eligible participants who contribute to the success of the Group’s operations. Eligible participants include the full-time and part-time employees, executives, officers, directors, business consultants, agents, legal and financial advisers of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries. The Scheme became effective on 26 September 2010 and, unless otherwise cancelled or amended, will remain in force for 10 years from that date.

The maximum number of unexercised share options currently permitted to be granted under the Scheme is an amount equivalent, upon their exercise, to 10% of the shares of the Company in issue at any time. The maximum number of shares issuable under share options to each eligible participant in the Scheme within any 12-month period is limited to 1% of the shares of the Company in issue at any time. Any further grant of share options in excess of this limit is subject to shareholders’ approval in a general meeting.

Share options granted to a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company, or to any of their associates, are subject to approval in advance by the independent non-executive directors. In addition, any share options granted to a substantial shareholder or an independent non-executive director of the Company, or to any of their associates, in excess of 0.1% of the shares of the Company in issue at any time or with an aggregate value (based on the price of the Company’s shares at the date of the grant) in excess of HK$5 million, within any 12-month period, are subject to shareholders’ approval in advance in a general meeting.

The offer of a grant of share options may be accepted within 10 days from the date of the offer, upon payment of a nominal consideration of HK$1 in total by the grantee. The exercise period of the share options granted is determinable by the directors, and vests immediately and ends on a date which is not later than ten years from the date of the offer of the share options or the expiry date of the Scheme, if earlier.

The exercise price of the share options is determinable by the directors, but may not be less than the highest of (i) the Stock Exchange closing price of the Company’s shares on the date of the offer of the share options; (ii) the average Stock Exchange closing price of the Company’s shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of the offer; and (iii) the nominal value of the Company’s shares on the date of the offer.

Share options do not confer rights on the holder to dividends or to vote at shareholders’ meetings.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

  • (d) These share options are vested immediately upon the grant date. The weighted average closing price of the shares on the date immediately before 15 April 2014, 14 July 2014 and 31 October 2014 and the dates on which the options were granted was HK$0.233, HK$0.270 and HK$0.330 per share, respectively.

  • (e) The numbers of share options were adjusted upon the completion of the rights issue on 6 January 2016.

  • (f) The exercise price per share option was adjusted upon the completion of the rights issue on 6 January 2016.

The fair values of options granted on 13 October 2014 and 14 July 2014 determined at using the Binominal model approximately were HK$12,202,000 and HK$3,433,000, respectively. The fair value of options granted and approved by shareholders on 15 April 2014 was HK$11,575,000.

The following assumptions were used to calculate the fair values of share options:

(Note i) (Note ii)
Grant date share price HK$0.330 HK$0.270 HK$0.330 HK$0.233

Notes:

  • (i) On 21 February 2014, the Group proposed to grant an aggregate of 62,000,000 share options to the directors and employees of the Company for services rendered during the year ended 31 March 2014. The assumptions were used to calculate the estimated fair values of 62,000,000 share options amounting to HK$8,045,000. The grant date was established upon the approval of shareholders on the refreshment of the existing scheme mandate limit on 15 April 2014. The fair values based on the established grant date had no difference as previous estimated.

  • (ii) The assumptions were used to calculate the fair values of 36,000,000 share options amounting to HK$3,530,000 granted to consultants.

  • (iii) Expected volatility for options was based on historical daily price movements of the Company over a historical period of 5 years.

  • (iv) The risk-free rate was determined by reference to the yield of 5-year Hong Kong Exchange Fund Notes.

The Binominal model had been used to estimate the fair value of the options. The variables and assumptions used in computing the fair value of the share options are based on the directors’ best estimate. The value of an option varied with different variables of certain subjective assumptions.

During the year ended 31 March 2015, an amount of share-based payment expenses in respect of the Company’s share options of HK$15,635,000 had been recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment recognised in the Group’s share-based payment reserve. During the year ended 31 March 2016, there is no share option granted or exercised.

5. MATERIAL CHANGE

The Directors confirmed that as at the Latest Practicable Date, save as disclosed below, there had been no material changes in the financial or trading position or outlook of the Group since 31 March 2016, being the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Company were made up, to the Latest Practicable Date:

  1. The Company announced on 7 April 2016 regarding a settlement agreement (the “ Settlement Agreement ”) entered into between the Company and Southernpec Storage and Logistics Holding Limited (the “ Southernpec Vendor ”) in relation to a possible acquisition of the entire equity interests in Southernpec Singapore Storage and Logistics Limited (“ Southernpec ”) and the refund of deposit of HK$10 million (the “ Deposit ”) for which the Company had commenced legal proceedings against the Southernpec Vendor for the recovery of the Deposit (the “ Proceedings ”). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, in consideration of the Company’s forbearance to sue and to proceed with the Proceedings, the Southernpec Vendor irrevocably covenants with the Company that the Southernpec Vendor shall pay to the Company a sum of HK$5,000,000 by 7 instalments over a period of 18 months from the date of the Settlement Agreement as the full and final settlement of the Deposit.

  2. Further to an announcement of the Company dated 24 March 2016, 11 May 2016 and 15 June 2016 and the circular of the Company dated 17 June 2016 in relation to the disposal of the entire issued share capital in Paraburdoo Limited (the “ Disposal ”), the Company announced on 25 July 2016 that the Disposal was completed on 25 July 2016.

  3. As disclosed in the first quarterly report of 2016 (the “ 2016 First Quarterly Report ”) of the Group for the three months ended 30 June 2016, there have been certain material changes in the financial or trading position or outlook of the Group since 31 March 2016 and, in particular, the Directors note as follows:

  4. a. the decrease in the Group’s revenue to approximately HK$20.3 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016 (“ 1Q2016 ”) from approximately HK$28.8 million for the corresponding period in 2015 mainly attributable to the decrease in turnover from the trading of crude palm oil and which record a turnover of HK$12.1 million for 1Q2016 as compared to HK$23.7 million in the same period in 2015.

  5. b. administrative expenses and other expenses (the “Operating Expenses”) incurred for 1Q2016 amounted to HK$9.6 million (2015: HK$14.1 million). By excluding the major non-cash items in relation to amortisation of intangible assets and depreciation charges in both periods, Operating Expenses for 1Q2016 would have amounted to HK$8.7 million as compared to HK$13.2 million in the same period in 2015 on the same basis, representing a reduction of 34.1% which was mainly due to the reduced corporate marketing activities undertaken during 1Q2016.

  6. c. the Group recorded a net loss of approximately HK$6.6 million for 1Q2016, as compared to a net profit of HK$16.8 million for the corresponding period in 2015. As disclosed in the 2016 First Quarterly Report, the main reason for such turn of profit to loss was due to the absence of gain from investment in listed securities which was recorded in the three months ended 30 June 2015. The Group recorded gain of approximately HK$34.3 million for the three months ended 30 June 2015 as compared to loss of approximately HK$0.4 million for the three months ended 30 June 2016.

Ho & Tam, solicitors for Optima Capital Limited claiming for an amount of HK$1,515,980, being the outstanding financial advisory fee allegedly owed by the Company to Optima Capital Limited. The Company takes the view that since the amount claimed under the demand letter is less than 1% of the net assets value of the Group as at 31 March 2016, being the date to which the latest audited financial statements of the Group were made up, the Company does not consider the demand letter, together with the potential litigation thereunder, to be of material importance.
