Chairman’s Statement

Dear Shareholders:

The Company has transcended its competences accumulated throughout the years and finally took shape as a leading next-generation mobile multimedia service provider, which is potentially market disruptive to providing mobile Internet and entertainment services in the coming Internet era.

The Company has completed the acquisition of seven UHF spectrum television (“TV”) stations in seven top cities in the United States of American (“USA”), which expanded the Company’s portfolio to a total of 12 TV stations in addition to the New York market. The portfolio gives the Company an unique wireless spectrum network to not only deliver free-to-air digital TV programming to a much larger audience coverage with operating efficiencies and revenue opportunities, but also well-position it to deploy a next-generation mobile broadcasting service platform for new media services extended from home to mobile users and vehicles.

The past year also saw the Company taking great strides in the developing next generation China Mobile Multimedia Broadcasting (“CMMB”) technology, the Next Generation Mobile Broadcasting – Wireless (NGB-W), which can converge with other mobile technologies such as 3G and LTE and WiFi to create the groundbreaking interactive mobile broadcasting system.

The Company has also expand into the realm of satellites, reaching a Memorandum of Understanding with New York Broadband II, LLC to acquire an ubiquitous pan-Asia satellite network the “AsiaStar” which has 40 MHz L-band spectrum covering Asia, including China, South East Asia and India, which the Company intends to develop into a regional satellite-based CMMB mobile multimedia and data delivery platform with universal connectivity. Currently it is planning to develop services in China first, taking advantage of its market momentum and low-cost ecosystem to quickly reach commercial scalability and then expand to the rest of Asia and eventually globally.

As part of its satellite initiatives, the Company had been exploring a joint-venture partnership with Global Broadcasting Media Group, a subsidiary of China Radio International under the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television 國家廣播電視總局, to develop and operate a satellite-based platform in China to provide mobile multimedia video, voice and data as well as other new generation digital media and information services. The jointventure agreement was finally signed and announced on 29 January 2016.

Furthermore, the Company also formed a research partnership with Shanghai Jiaotong University to develop China’s first satellite-based mobile multimedia technology standard to make way for AsiaStar’s adoption by China and support by its ecosystem, so that satellite multimedia reception can one day be a standard feature for future consumer mobile devices and hence will help propagate satellite multimedia services to consumers throughout China and later globally.

ANNUAL REPORT 2015

Chairman’s Statement

The world has gone viral for mobile services in 2015. The explosions for digital entertainment, social media, and smart mobile devices have set off a perfect storm that moves every facet of daily life to be connected to the mobile and wireless space. Applications ranging from online mobile entertainment, e-commercial, mass-market advertising, environmental monitoring, public safety and national disaster alerts have all out-grown their traditional delivery platform and are searching for a much more ubiquitous mobile and wireless platform for data and information dissemination anytime anywhere, which is deemed indispensable for the future. The answer to the challenge is to develop a unified mobile platform above and beyond what our current fixed and cellular network can offer. The answer lies in the idea of “holistic network” delivery infrastructure that is broadcast – unicast convergent and satelliteterrestrial integrated. This validates the Company’s long-term dedication to mobile multimedia and its vertically integrated development efforts.

In addition, the Group is in negotiation with the largest private-owned telecom value-added and broadband service operator in China, to lease its UHF TV network spectrum in all its US markets for providing integrated broadcast TV and IPTV multimedia services and expect to consummate in second half of this year. It is a testimony to the Company’s spectrum network development in the USA and its broader strategy of providing multimedia services to global audiences. Under the impetus of China’s recent “One-Belt-One-Road” international development strategy, China’s media, culture, and information industries will develop globally in large-scale, promoting win-win cultural and economic exchanges with countries around the world. As a next generation mobile multimedia service provider, the Company’s strategy is to combine its groundbreaking mobile technologies with ubiquitous satellite and terrestrial networks to provide low-cost, high-quality, and abundant multimedia and data services to mobile users anytime anywhere while creating a multimedia consumption and e-Commerce platform of the new Internet era. Its wireless UHF TV network developed across the USA, as well as its planned acquisition of the L-band AsiaStar mobile satellite which covers China, Asia, and India will greatly complement the “One-Belt-One-Road” initiatives, allowing the Company to provide unprecedented modern Internet, information, and multimedia services to the diverse consumers in these regions while capturing the vast markets.

The Company looks forward to 2016 as a year of many breakthroughs, in which it expects to complete and expand its satellite network acquisition, multiply broadcasting operations, commence mobile multimedia services in the USA and China, and expand into other regional markets.

I would like to thank the business partners of the Group and the shareholders of the Company for their support, and the Group’s employees for their dedication and contribution during this financial year.

For and on behalf of the Board

Wong Chau Chi Chairman

ANNUAL REPORT 2015

Management Discussion and Analysis

Gross profit has increased from approximately US$330,000 in year 2014 to approximately US$457,000 in year 2015, increased by 39% which was arisen from the increase of revenue from both CMMB Business and Trading Business.

Administrative expenses for the year ended 31 December 2015 increased by 72% to approximately US$1,973,000 as compared to that of approximately US$1,150,000 for the year ended 31 December 2014 which was mainly due to the increase in staff costs and office rent.

Market development and promotion expenses increased by 16 times to approximately US$6,274,000 (2014: US$392,000) which is mainly due to the increase in consultancy services fees for business development and travelling expenses for attending business conferences and meetings.

Other expenses for the year ended 31 December 2015 amounted to approximately US$701,000 (2014: US$1,277,000) which mainly represents legal and professional fees of US$544,000 (2014: US$510,000) for the placement of new shares and other potential investment and acquisitions and share-based payment expense of nil (2014: US$601,000).

Elimination upon redemption of convertible notes for the year ended 31 December 2015 amounted to approximately

US$1,278,000.

The goodwill amounted to approximately US$11,188,000 represented the difference between the fair value of cash paid and convertible notes issued and the fair value of net assets acquired upon the acquisition of Chi Vision USA Corporation (“Chi Vision”). The management of the Group determined an impairment of such goodwill as the recoverable amount is lower than its carrying amount of the cash generating units arising from the acquisition of Chi Vision. Hence, an impairment on goodwill is recognised immediately.

As at 31 December 2015, the Group has provided a guarantee for an aggregate amount of US$1,551,000 in respect of an upgrade project undertaken by its equity investment in Taiwan (2014: Nil).

PROSPECTS

The Group is developing to be a leading next generation mobile multimedia service provider. It addresses the rapidly growing demand for mobile and wireless video and internet content downloads with a very low cost and efficient solution based on the China-developed CMMB multicast technology. Consumers with untethered CMMB-enabled devices such as handsets, netbooks, MP4s, dongles, GPS, and LED panels can receive virtually unlimited and instant mobile video and Internet downloads anytime anywhere deliverable through a ubiquitous terrestrial and satellite network.

Developed by the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television (“SARFT”) of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) with collaboration from the United States of America, CMMB is one of the most advanced digital broadcasting (multicast) technologies invented in the 21 Century that enables mobile TV delivery and data delivery through Internet by the Internet Protocol (“IP data”). It is Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (“OFDM”) based, and can readily interact with other OFDM technologies such as third generation mobile technology 3G, fourth generation mobile technology (“4G”) based on Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (“IEEE”) standards 802.16(e) (“WiMax”) and 4G Long Term Evolution (“4G LTE”). The key feature of CMMB is that it can deliver streaming live mobile video and push-IP data in a massive quantity and instant speed simultaneously to an unlimited number of mobile users anytime anywhere at very low cost. CMMB has been widely deployed over 330 Chinese cities with the support of world’s largest mobile network and supply-chain ecosystem.

The Group’s main business will apply the CMMB technology to address the growing bottleneck caused by video and Internet data content distribution, which can no longer be accommodated by the conventional unicast – based mobile communication technologies. In China, its goal is to become a leading CMMB service provider. Globally, its goal is to promote and develop CMMB by deploying and operating CMMB-based networks and services in different countries and create a global multimedia franchise.

The Board is committed to maintaining and ensuring high standards of corporate governance. The Company has applied the principles and complied with all the applicable Code Provisions of the CG Code throughout the year ended 31 December 2015 except that the Company has been deviated from the Code Provision A.2.1 of the CG Code, as the roles of Chairman and chief executive officer of the Company were not separate. With effect on 19 May 2008, Mr. WONG Chau Chi (“Mr. Wong”) had been re-designated as the Chairman and Mr. Wong also remains as the chief executive officer of the Company. According to the Code Provision A.2.1 of the CG Code, the roles of a chairman and a chief executive officer should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual. Given Mr. Wong has had extensive experience in the business of the Group and has performed satisfactorily since his joining of the Company in 2007, particularly in soliciting for possible new business opportunities and deducing the overall strategic plan for the future development of the Company, the Board considers that it would be beneficial of the Group if Mr. Wong is also in charge of overseeing the Company’s operations as the Chairman. The Board considers that this structure will not impair the balance of power and authority between the Board and the management of the Group. The Board will regularly review the effectiveness of this arrangement.

DIRECTORS’ SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

The Company has adopted a revised code of conduct regarding the Directors’ securities transactions on terms no less exacting than the required standard set out in the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers (the “Model Code”) as set out in Appendix 10 to the Listing Rules. All the Directors confirmed, following specific enquiry by the Company, that they have fully complied with the required standard as set out in the Model Code and the code of conduct throughout the year ended 31 December 2015.

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”) and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit and to report our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

ANNUAL REPORT 2015

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2015

1. GENERAL

The Company is incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability and its shares are listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”). The address of the registered office and principal place of business of the Company are disclosed in the Corporate Information section to the annual report.

The Company acts as an investment holding company. The Company together with its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) are principally engaged in the development and promotion of CMMB-based multimedia and interactive services via proprietary terrestrial infrastructure. In the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), the Company has entered into a memorandum of understanding with New York Broadband, LLC (“NYBB”), a related party of which Mr. Wong Chau Chi (“Mr. Wong”), a director and shareholder of the Company, has certain equity interest through Chi Capital Holdings Ltd (“Chi Capital”), to acquire the AsiaStar mobile satellite capacity and assets, which has coverage over the PRC and Asia Pacific Region. In the United States of America (“USA”), the Group is operating a terrestrial UHF wireless television (“TV”) network providing digital media and entertainment services to New York and other key markets in preparation to deploying a similar multimedia service platform in USA.

China Mobile Multimedia Broadcasting (“CMMB”) is a digital mobile multimedia technology developed by and currently commercially deployed in the PRC under the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. It can deliver digital mobile TV and multimedia contents via both terrestrial and satellite networks directly to mobile and wireless devices such as smartphone, tablet, pocket TV, lap-tops, automobile digital receivers and personal media player that are equipped with a CMMB-enabled chipset. Its broadcast oriented delivery can render data contents to be received anytime anywhere with enormous scale and cost efficiency and encounter no traffic interruption or bandwidth squeeze typical of today’s unicast-based cellular network. The signals can be received over 350 kilometer/hour without distortion.

It is the plan of the Company to apply the CMMB technology to the existing TV broadcasting services so as to provide mobile TV services in the future.

The Group is also engaged in trading which relates to the procurement and distribution of printed circuit board (“PCB”) materials.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, which is also the functional currency of the Group.

Reclassification of comparative information

Certain comparative financial information has been reclassified to conform to current year’s presentation in the consolidated financial statements.

CMMB VISION HOLDINGS LIMITED

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 December 2015

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis notwithstanding the fact that the Group incurred a loss of approximately US$21,731,000 during the year ended 31 December 2015. In the opinion of the directors of the Company (the “Directors”), the Group is able to continue as a going concern in the coming year taking into consideration the measures which include, but not limited to, the following:

  • (a) During the year ended 31 December 2015, the Company entered into subscription agreements with subscribers for the subscription of an aggregate 1,732,690,387 new shares of the Company for an aggregate consideration of approximately HK$336,924,000 (equivalent to approximately US$43,473,000). The proceeds from the shares issues are applied mainly for the development of satellite business and financing the Group’s working capital.

  • (b) Subsequent to the year end date, the Group has proposed rights issue on the basis of one rights share for every one existing share at HK$0.1 per rights share and one bonus share for every one rights share taken up under the rights issue, to raise approximately HK$625,320,000 (equivalent to US$80,272,000) before expenses. All the relevant resolutions approving the rights issue and the issue of bonus shares were duly passed at the extraordinary general meeting on 15 March 2016 and the proposed rights issue and bonus shares issue are expected to be completed in April 2016. The Group plans to apply the proceeds from the rights issue for the major capital expenditure for the deployment in China with details as set out in the prospectus of the Company dated 23 March 2016.

Based on the aforesaid factors, the Directors are satisfied that the Group have sufficient financial resources to meet its financial obligations as they fall due for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

3. APPLICATION OF NEW AND REVISED HONG KONG FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (“HKFRSs”)

(a) Applications of new and revised HKFRSs

The Group has applied the following amendments to HKFRSs issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”) for the first time in the current year:

HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments

HKFRS 9 issued in 2009 introduced new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. HKFRS 9 was subsequently amended in 2010 to include requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and for derecognition, and further amended 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.

  • (b) New and revised HKFRSs issued but not yet effective (Continued)

HKFRS 9 Financial Instruments (Continued)

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 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 of the financial asset 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 of financial liabilities attributable to changes in the financial liabilities’ 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 was 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.

Except for the potential early recognition of credit losses based on the expected loss model in relation to the Group’s financial assets measured at amortised costs, the Directors anticipate that the application of HKFRS 9 in the future may not have other significant impact on amounts reported in respect of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities based on an analysis of the Group’s financial instruments as at 31 December 2015.

  • (b) New and revised HKFRSs issued but not yet effective (Continued)

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

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 Group is in the process of reviewing the potential impacts on the application of HKFRS 15. It is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of the effect of HKFRS 15 until the Group performs a detailed review.

Except as described above, the Directors do not anticipate that the application of the other new and revised HKFRSs will have a material effect on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Statement of compliance

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

The provision of new Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap 622) regarding preparation of accounts and directors’ reports and audits became effective for the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2015. Further, the disclosure requirements set out in the Listing Rules regarding annual accounts have been amended with reference to the new CO and to streamline with HKFRSs. Accordingly the presentation and disclosure of information in the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 have been changed to comply with these new requirements. Comparative information in respect of the financial year ended 31 December 2014 are presented or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements based on the new requirements. Information previously required to be disclosed under the predecessor Co or Listing Rules but not under the new CO or amended Listing Rules are not disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.

Basis of preparation

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.

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. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economics benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. 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, leasing transactions that are within the scope of HKAS 17, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in HKAS 2 or value in use in HKAS 36.

41

ANNUAL REPORT 2015

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2015

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Basis of preparation (Continued)

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;

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

  • has the ability to use its power 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.

42

CMMB VISION HOLDINGS LIMITED

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 December 2015

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Basis of consolidation (Continued)

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Group’s accounting policies.

All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

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, when applicable, the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate.

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 assets or liabilities 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; 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.

Business combinations (Continued)

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value if the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after the reassessment, the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

Non-controlling interests that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation may be initially measured either at fair value or at the noncontrolling interest’s proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Other types of non-controlling interests are measured at fair value or, when applicable, on the basis specified in another HKFRS.

When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with the corresponding adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the “measurement period” (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.

The subsequent accounting for the changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates in accordance with HKAS 39, or HKAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, as appropriate, with the corresponding gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss.

When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to its acquisition-date fair value and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from the interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.

Business combinations (Continued)

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period, or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised at that date.

Investments 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.

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, an investment in an associate is 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 equals or exceeds its 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 that associate.

An investment in an associate is accounted for using the equity method from the date on 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. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the investment, after reassessment, is recognised immediately in profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.

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.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Investments in associates (Continued)

The Group discontinues the use of the equity method from the date when the investment ceases to be an associate or when the investment (or a portion thereof) 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 part 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

When a group entity transacts with an associate of the Group (such as a sale or contribution of assets), profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognised in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Group.

Revenue recognition

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

Trading income is recognised when the related procurement and distribution of goods are completed.

Service income represents the air time and transmission services provided and the channels broadcasting in real time on the TV stations 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Service income will be recognised on a straight-line basis over the contract period.

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 income can be measured reliably. Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated in the consolidated statement of financial position 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 over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost, being the fair value at the date of acquisition, 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 with indefinite useful lives are carried at cost less any subsequent accumulated impairment losses (see the accounting policy in respect of impairment losses on tangible and intangible assets below).

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible assets 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.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business (see the above accounting policy above) less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash generating units (or groups of cash generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

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

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

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

If the terms of a lease of the Group are changed to such an extent that the lease would have been classified differently at inception had the changed terms been in effect at that time, the revised agreement is considered to be a new agreement over its remaining term.

When a lease previously classified as an operating lease becomes a finance lease resulting from modification of lease agreement, the revised contract is accounted for as a finance lease from the date of modification. The leased asset is recognised in the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position at an amount equal to the fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments plus the costs incurred to acquire the relevant lease agreement, less cumulative amortisation and impairment (if any) prior to the change in classification. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the consolidated statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation.

Leasing (Continued)

The Group as lessee (Continued)

Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the Group’s general policy on borrowing costs (see the accounting policy below). Contingent rentals are recognised as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.

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

Impairment losses on tangible and intangible assets

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 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.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that they may be impaired.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell 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 immediately in profit or loss.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) 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.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the profit or loss because of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and 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.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of the reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rate (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Current and deferred tax are recognised to profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale are added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

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 recognised the rates of exchange 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 on 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 foreign operation are translated into the presentation currency of the Group (i.e. United States dollars) using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, 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 under the heading of exchange reserve.

On the disposal or deconsolidation of subsidiaries which are not foreign operations, all of the relevant exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are transferred to accumulated losses.

Retirement benefit costs

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognised as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Share-based payment transactions

Equity-settled share-based payment transactions

Shares and share options granted to employees of the Group

For grants of share options that are conditional upon satisfying specified vesting conditions, the fair value of services received determined by reference to the fair value of share options granted at the grant date is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase in equity (share option reserve).

At the end of the reporting period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to ultimately vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to share option reserve.

For share options that vest immediately at the date of grant, the fair value of the share options granted is expensed immediately to profit or loss

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

Share options granted to consultants

Share options issued in exchange for services are measured at the fair value 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 value of the services received is recognised as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity (share option reserve), when the counterparties render services, unless the services qualify for recognition as assets.

Financial instruments

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

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets or 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 instruments (Continued)

Financial assets

Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”) 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.

Effective interest method

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument 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 debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.

Interest income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments.

Financial assets 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.

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 designed and effective as a hedging instrument.

A financial asset other than a financial asset held for trading or contingent consideration that may be paid by an acquirer as part of a business combination may be designated as at FVTPL upon initial recognition if:

  • Such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency that would otherwise arise; or

  • The financial asset forms part of a group of financial assets or financial liabilities or both, which is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the grouping is provided internally on that basis; or

  • It forms part of a contract containing one or more embedded derivatives, and HKAS 39 permits the entire combined contract (asset or liability) to be designated as at FVTPL.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables (including trade and other receivables and bank balances and cash) 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 are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any identified impairment losses (see accounting policy on impairment of financial assets below).

Impairment of financial assets

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

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 financial assets, such as trade and other receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the respective credit period and observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with default on receivables.

For financial assets carried at amortised cost, the amount of the impairment loss recognised 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.

The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade and other receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss. When a trade and other receivable is considered uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets (Continued)

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 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

Debt and equity instruments issued by a group entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity instruments in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements 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 an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

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 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 instrument

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date when the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair values at the end of the reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

Convertible notes contains debt component and derivative components (including the conversion option and the redemption option)

Convertible notes issued by the Group that contain both debt and derivative components (including the conversion option and the redemption option) are classified separately into respective items on initial recognition. Conversion option that will be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Company’s own equity instruments is a derivative component (including the conversion option and the redemption option). At the date of issue, both the debt component and derivative component (including the conversion option and the redemption option) are recognised at fair value.

In subsequent periods, the debt component of the convertible notes is carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The derivative component (including the conversion option and the redemption option) are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible notes are allocated to the debt component and derivative component (including the conversion option and the redemption option) in proportion to their relative fair values. Transaction costs relating to the derivative component (including the conversion option and the redemption option) are charged to profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs relating to the debt component are included in the carrying amount of the debt portion and amortised over the period of the convertible notes using the effective interest method.

Convertible notes contain debt and equity components

The component parts of the convertible loan notes issued by the Group are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. A conversion option that will be settled by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Company’s own equity instruments is an equity instrument.

At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible instruments. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis using the effective interest method until extinguished upon conversion or at the instrument’s maturity date.

The conversion option classified as equity is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognized and included in equity, net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently remeasured. In addition, the conversion option classified as equity will remain in equity until the conversion option is exercised, in which case, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to share premium. Where the conversion option remains unexercised at the maturity date of the convertible note, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to retained profits. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss upon conversion or expiration of the conversion option.

Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability portion and amortised over the period of the convertible loan notes using the effective interest method.

Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities (including trade and other payables and amount due to a related company) are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method.

Derecognition

The Group derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire.

On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in profit or loss.

The Group derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Group’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial guarantee contracts

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Group are initially recognised at their fair values and, if not designated as at FVTPL are subsequently measured at the higher of: (i) the amount of obligation under the contact, as determined in accordance with HKAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets; and (ii) the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation recognised with the revenue recognition policies.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENT AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 4, the Directors are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

Critical judgment in applying accounting policies

The following is the critical judgment, apart from those involving estimations (see below), that the Directors have made in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

Enforceability of the finance lease agreement

Section 310 of the Communication Act of 1934 in US (“US rules and regulations”) places certain restrictions on foreign investment in and ownership of a US broadcast licensee. The Group conducts their CMMB Business in US principally through a finance lease agreement with NYBB being the lessor (note 19). The Directors, after consulting legal opinion, are of the view that such lease agreement is valid, binding and enforceable, and do not result in any violation of the US rules and regulations currently in effect in all material respects. However, if the US government changes its regulations to restrict or prohibit companies of foreign sources from operating TV stations in US, the Group may have difficulties in enforcing its rights under the lease agreement. In such case, the Group may not be able to operate its intangible assets which may have an adverse and material effect on the carrying amount of the intangible assets and the Group’s operation and results thereof.

Renewal of spectrum usage rights

In determining the effect of supplementary agreement signed between the Group and NYBB, the lessor, since 2013, which provides the option to the Group to renew the lease continuously with NYBB, the Directors assessed the Group’s ability and intention to renew the lease and concluded that the lease previously classified as an operating lease becomes a finance lease resulting from the modification of the lease agreement. The spectrum usage rights have legal rights of 5 years. In assessing the useful life of the spectrum usage rights, the Directors are of the view that NYBB has the ability to renew the license right with the authority indefinitely at minimal costs. Therefore, the useful life of spectrum usage rights is regarded as indefinite.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENT AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY (Continued)

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.

Impairment of intangible assets

During the current year, the management has evaluated the impairment of intangible assets by way of value in use calculation by reference to the discounted cash flows derived from financial budgets approved by the management of the Group (“VIU”) only as the fair value less cost to sell with reference to the latest market transaction (“FVLCTS”) which is not available in the current year. If the VIU is less than the corresponding carrying amounts, an impairment loss may be required. For the year ended 31 December 2015, VIU is used to compare the carrying amount of the spectrum usage rights for impairment assessment. As VIU is lower than its carrying amount, an impairment of US$1,685,397 (2014: nil) was recognised in profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2015. As at 31 December 2015, the carrying amount of intangible assets were US$106,588,449 (2014: US$23,843,846).

Impairment of goodwill

Determining whether goodwill is impaired required an estimation of the value in use of the cash generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires management to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash-generating units and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. Where the future cash flows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

As the value in use is lower than its carrying amount, an impairment of US$11,188,096 (2014: nil) was recognized in profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2015. Details of the recoverable amount calculation are set out in note 22.

6. CAPITAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while maximising the return to equity holders through the optimisation of the debts and equity balance. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from prior year.

The capital structure of the Group consists of net debts, which includes convertible notes disclosed in note 28, net of cash and cash equivalents disclosed in note 25 and equity attributable to owners of the Company, comprising issued share capital, share premium and reserves. The Group relies mainly on the equity financing from the owners of the Company.

The Directors review the capital structure on a regular basis by considering the cost of capital and the risks associate with the capital. Based on recommendation of directors, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through, new share issues and share buy-backs as well as the issue of new debts and the redemption of existing debts.

The Group’s major financial instruments include financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, trade receivables, bank balances, trade payables, amount due from/to a related company, derivative financial instruments and convertible notes. Details of the financial instruments are disclosed in respective notes. The risks associated with these financial instruments include market risk (represented by currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The policies on how to mitigate these risks are set out below. Management manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner.

Market risk

(i) Currency risk

Certain bank balances, convertible notes and amount due from/to a related company are denominated in foreign currency, which expose the Group to foreign currency risk. The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the reporting date are as follows:

Liabilities Assets
2015 2014 2015 2014
US$ US$ US$ US$
Hong Kong dollars 5,886,259 10,361,820 9,744,490

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.

Market risk (Continued)

  • (i) Currency risk (Continued)

Sensitivity analysis

In the management’s opinion, the Group does not have significant exposure to the fluctuation in United States dollar against Renminbi, so no sensitivity analysis is presented.

For the exposure to the fluctuation in United States dollar against Hong Kong dollar, as Hong Kong dollar was pegged to United States dollar, the management is of opinion that such exposure is insignificant and no sensitivity analysis is presented.

(ii) Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk in relation to the bank balances due to the fluctuation of the prevailing market interest rates for both years.

The Group currently does not have any interest rate hedging policy in relation to fair value and cash flow interest rate risks. The Directors monitor the Group’s exposure on ongoing basis and will consider hedging interest rate risk should the need arise. The Group’s cash flow interest rate risk is mainly sensitive to the fluctuation of interest rate arising from the Group’s bank balances.

Sensitivity analysis

For the years ended 31 December 2015 and 2014, the Group’s cash flow interest rate risk is only related to the impact of prevailing market interest rate change on bank balances which are all shortterm in nature. Therefore, any future variations in interest rates will not have a significant impact on the result of the Group. Accordingly, no sensitivity analysis is performed for the years ended 31 December 2015 and 2014.

Credit risk

At the end of the reporting period, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Group due to failure to perform an obligation by the counterparties is arising from the carrying amount of the respective recognised financial assets as stated in the consolidated statement of financial position.

7b. Financial risk management objectives and policies (Continued)

Credit risk (Continued)

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

The credit risk on bank balances is limited because the counterparties are reputable banks in the USA, Hong Kong and PRC.

As at 31 December 2015, the Group has concentration of credit risk as the total trade receivables was due from the Group’s three (2014: three) largest customers in the trading business segment. The management is of the view that these trade receivables of the Group have good track records and considers that the trade receivables from these customers are recoverable. In order to minimise the credit risk, management continuously monitors the level of exposure to ensure that follow-up actions and/or corrective actions are taken promptly to lower the risk exposure or to recover overdue balances.

Liquidity risk

In the management of the liquidity risk, the Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by management to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.

The Directors are taking active steps to improve the liquidity position of the Group and the Group should be able to continue as a going concern, details of which are set out in note 2.

The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial liabilities based on the agreed repayment terms. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of the financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

9. BUSINESS COMBINATION

On 23 May 2014 and 14 October 2014, the Company entered into an agreement and a supplementary agreement respectively with Chi Capital, for the acquisition of 79% interest in Chi Vision USA Corporation (“Chi Vision”), a company established in Delaware, the USA with limited liability at the consideration of US$77,480,000, which was satisfied by (i) cash payment of US$34,180,000; (ii) issuance of convertible notes maturing on 21 July 2021 at the initial conversion price of HK$0.10 with a principal amount of US$38,000,000 and (iii) issuance of convertible notes maturing on 21 July 2021 at the initial conversion price of HK$0.473 with a principal amount of US$5,300,000 (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was completed on 22 July 2015.

Chi Vision holds the user and operating rights over free-to-air UHF spectrum TV stations inclusive of the spectrum usage, broadcasting rights and operating facilities in seven top US metropolitan cities which are Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Houston, Altanta, Miami and Tampa. The purpose of the Acquisition is to integrate and expand the Company’s existing UHF network in New York with the additional key and strategic cities across the USA so as to create a much larger spectrum network to enable the delivery of free-to-air TV services initially, and next generation CMMB mobile multimedia service eventually, with greater audience coverage, operating efficiencies, and revenue opportunities.

The following table summarizes the fair value consideration paid for Chi Vision, the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as at 22 July 2015.

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

The management of the Group recognised an impairment loss of US$11,188,096 as the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount of the cash generating unit in relation to goodwill arising on acquisition of Chi Vision.

The non-controlling interests (21%) in Chi Vision recognised at the acquisition date was measured by reference to the share of net asset of the non-controlling interests and amounted to US$17,621,898.

Acquisition-related costs amounting to approximately US$123,300 have been excluded from the cost of acquisition and have been recognised as administrative expenses and other expenses in consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the year ended 31 December 2015 and 2014.

Impact of acquisition on the results of the Group

Had this business combination been effected on 1 January 2015, the revenue of the Group would have been US$8,709,690, and the loss for the year would have been US$21,914,755.

The Directors of the Company consider these “pro-forma” numbers to represent an approximate measure of the performance of the combined group on an annualised basis and to provide a reference point for the comparison in future periods.

Withholding tax on foreign income represented PRC withholding tax on income from a PRC customer at 10% of the gross invoice amount.

Hong Kong Profits Tax is calculated at 16.5% for both years. No provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax has been made as the Group has no assessable profit arising in Hong Kong for both years.

Taiwan Income Tax is calculated at a prevailing rate of 17% for both years. Provision for Taiwan Income Tax has been made as the Group has assessable profit arising in Taiwan for both years.

Taxation arising in the USA is calculated at a prevailing rate at 38% for the both years. No provision for Federal Income Tax and State and Local Income Tax has been made as the Group did not have any assessable profit arising in the USA for both years.

Under the law of the PRC on Enterprise Income Tax (the “EIT law”) and the Implementation Regulation of the EIT Law, the tax rate of the PRC subsidiaries of the Company is 25% from 1 January 2008 onward. No provision for PRC income tax has been made in the consolidated financial statements as all of the PRC subsidiaries did not have taxable income for both years.

No deferred tax asset has been recognised in relation to such deductible temporary difference as it is not probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. In addition, the Group has unused tax losses of US$6,410,279 as at 31 December 2015 (2014: US$4,288,505) available for offsetting against future profits, subject to the confirmation of the relevant tax authorities. No deferred tax asset has been recognised due to the unpredictability of future profit streams.

(a) The contract acquisition costs in 2014 represented costs incurred in acquiring a lease agreement which provided the exclusive right of four UHF spectrum TV station network in New York City with total 24 MHz in bandwidth capable of operating 24 digital channels of terrestrial and mobile TV and video programs covering 12 million populations in the New York Metropolitan of New York State. Since the date of acquisition in September 2012 to the date of modification, the contract acquisition costs were amortised on a straight-line basis over the operating leasing period of 20 years under the lease contract entered into between CMMB Vision USA Inc (“CMMB Vision USA”) and NYBB.

During the year ended 31 December 2013, CMMB Vision USA entered into a supplementary agreement with NYBB that CMMB Vision USA is able to renew the lease period continuously at CMMB Vision USA’s discretion. The Directors determined that the lease previously classified as an operating lease becomes a finance lease resulting from modification of the lease agreement after considering the Group’s ability and intention to renew the lease. The revised contract is accounted for as a finance lease from the date of modification (i.e. the effective date of the supplementary agreement).

ANNUAL REPORT 2015

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended 31 December 2015

19. INTANGIBLE ASSETS (Continued)

(a) (Continued)

At the date of modification, the leased asset is recognised in the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position. The Directors considered that the remaining present value of the minimum lease payments is insignificant and has not been recognised as a liability. Given that the Group incurred the contract acquisition costs to acquire this lease agreement during the year ended 31 December 2012, the Directors considered that the carrying amount of such contract acquisition costs as at the date of modification of the lease agreement is accounted for as part of the cost of the leased asset namely spectrum usage rights.

In 2015, the Group has further acquired Chi Vision that has entered into an asset purchase option and ancillary spectrum lease agreement with NYBB. Chi Vision holds the user and operating rights over freeto-air UHF Spectrum TV Stations inclusive of the spectrum usage right, broadcasting rights and operating facilities in seven top US metropolitan cities, which are Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Houston, Altanta, Miami and Tampa with more details as disclosed in note 9.

The spectrum usage rights are subject to renewal from time to time. The Directors are of the view that NYBB is able to renew the license rights with the authority indefinitely at minimal costs. Accordingly, the useful life of the spectrum usage rights is regarded as indefinite.

The management conducted an impairment assessment on the spectrum usage rights on the reporting date. The Group’s intangible assets were valued by Peak Vision Appraisals Limited, an independent valuer not related to the Group. The Directors determined there is an impairment loss of US$1,685,397 for the newly acquired spectrum usage right in seven US cities recognised by reference to the VIU only on 31 December 2015 as the FVLCTS is not available in the current year. The Directors determined that there is no impairments of the spectrum usage right in New York.

The basis of the recoverable amounts of the above spectrum usage rights and their underlying assumptions are summarized below:

The recoverable amount of the spectrum usage rights has been determined based on a value in use calculation. The calculation uses cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by the management covering a three-year period and discount rate of 11.38%. The spectrum usage rights’ cash flow beyond the three-year period are extrapolated using a steady 2.08% p.a. growth rate. This growth rate is based on projected inflation published by the International Monetary Fund.

CMMB VISION HOLDINGS LIMITED

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 December 2015

19. INTANGIBLE ASSETS (Continued)

(a) (Continued)

Other key assumptions for the value in use calculations relate to the estimation of cash inflows/outflows which included budgeted sales and gross margin. Such estimation is based on the past performance and management’s expectations.

In 2014, the Management has evaluated the impairment of intangible assets by way of the higher of VIU or FVLCTS. The FVLCTS of the spectrum usage rights was determined based on the Comparable Transaction Method. Comparable transactions were selected based on the transaction date, designated use of the spectrum and bandwidth of the spectrum. Furthermore, price paid per MHz per person under coverage of the area was adopted as the valuation multiple to arrive at the FVLCTS of the Company’s spectrum usage rights. The Directors are of the opinion that the key assumptions are consistent with external sources of information and believe that any reasonable change in any of these assumptions would not cause the aggregate carrying amount of the spectrum usage rights to exceed the aggregate recoverable amount of the spectrum usage rights. So, no impairment was resulted for the year ended 31 December 2014.

The Group’s intangible assets are categorised as level 3 fair value hierarchy by inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the year.

Section 310 of the Communication Act of 1934 in US (“US rules and regulations”) places certain restrictions on foreign investment in and ownership of a US broadcast licensee. The Group conducts their CMMB Business in the US principally through a finance lease agreement with NYBB being the lessor. The Directors, after consulting legal opinion, are of the view that such lease agreement is valid, binding and enforceable, and do not result in any violation of the US rules and regulations currently in effect in all material respects. However, if the US government changes its regulations to restrict or prohibit companies of foreign sources from operating TV stations in US, the Group may have difficulties in enforcing its rights under the lease agreement. In such case, the Group may not be able to operate its intangible assets which may have an adverse and material effect on the carrying amount of the intangible assets and the Group’s operation and results thereof.

  • (b) The licensing rights represented the exclusive international development and licensing right of CMMB technology registered in the PRC for providing turnkey solutions to develop and promote CMMB technology and business platform in markets outside of the PRC. The licensing rights have finite useful lives and are amortised on a straight-line basis over the remaining licensing period of 9 years which approximates its economic useful life. The licensing rights will expire in year 2020. As the actual results in the second half of 2012 did not meet the expected results, the Directors recognised an impairment loss of US$1,334,185 for the year ended 31 December 2012. As at 31 December 2015 and 2014, there were no changes to the circumstances which led to the impairment in the prior year. Accordingly, no reversal of impairment loss had been made in the current year.

  • (a) On 9 September 2014 and 30 June 2015, the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding and an agreement respectively with New York Broadband II, LLC (“NYBB II”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of NYBB, to acquire the capacity of the current geosynchronous L-band satellite known as AsiaStar and its two follow-on co-location new generation satellites in order to provide mobile multimedia and broadband internet services in the PRC and other Asian markets. The memorandum of understanding also gives the Company the exclusivity to develop businesses in the region by using this satellite platform. The AsiaStar satellite located at the 105 degrees East orbital slot, with its associated L-band spectrum rights, is the only mobile satellite capable of covering the all of Asia, including the PRC, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, Indonesia, and India, and has been delivering audio, video and data services in the region. The capacity acquisition will give the Company a ubiquitous Asia-wide mobile platform to offer next generation media and internet services.

The acquisition has not been completed as at the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements.

On 27 October 2015, the Company together with its business partner in the United States, NYBB, entered into an agreement with The Boeing Company for construction of the next-generation high-power mobile L-band satellite named “Silkwave-1”.

NYBB is procuring Silkwave-1 and will exclusively lease its capacity to the Company for providing a comprehensive suite of internet broadband media and information services to Asian mobile customers. Silkwave-1 is expected to launch in 2018, complementing and eventually replacing the current AsiaStar satellite to continue operation.

As at 31 December 2015, the Group has paid a total amount of approximately US$26,011,638 (2014: US$5,158,714) for the proposed acquisition of satellite and related assets.

Goodwill acquired through business combinations has been allocated to the CMMB business related to Chi Vision which was acquired in 2015 as a cash generating unit (“CGU”) for impairment testing.

Chi Vision cash-generating unit

The recoverable amount of CGU have been determined based on a value in use calculation represented by the management using cash flow projections based on financial budgets covering a five-year period. The discount rate applied to the cash flow projections is 10.87% per annum.

The management of the Group recognised an impairment loss of US$11,188,096 as the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount of the CGU in relation to goodwill arising on acquisition of Chi Vision.

Unlisted investment, at fair value 2,118,000

The Group entered into a joint venture agreement on 31 March 2015 to acquire 3% equity interest in Soaring Idea Holdings Limited (“Soaring”) at the consideration of US$2,000,000 and an option to acquire an additional 47% equity interest in Soaring for a term of 5 years, maturing in 31 March 2020 for an additional cash consideration of US$3 million. The acquisition was completed on 25 May 2015. Since the option cannot be measured reliably after separation from the whole contract, the 3% equity interest and the option is accounted for as one contract and classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss.

The financial asset at fair value through profit or loss was valued by Peak Vision Appraisals Limited, an independent valuer not related to the Group.

The fair value was determined based on the income approach at the end of the reporting period. The change in fair value of US$118,000 (2014: Nil) was recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2015.

The maturity date of the Convertible Notes is 13 September 2015 (“CN Maturity Date”) which is 3 years from the date of issue of the Convertible Notes.

The Convertible Notes contain a debt component and derivative components (including CN Conversion Option and CN Redemption Option).

Pursuant to terms and conditions of the Convertible Notes, the conversion price of and the number of conversion shares to be issued upon exercise of the conversion rights attached to the outstanding Convertible Notes are adjusted, because of the Rights Issue, to HK$0.274 and 167,100,715 shares, respectively.

The fair value of the Convertible Notes was HK$64,000,000 (approximately US$8,258,065) on the initial recognition date. On initial recognition, the debt component was recognised at fair value, calculated based on the present value of the principal amount plus accrued coupon interest over the expected life of the Convertible Notes. In subsequent periods, the debt component is carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate of the debt component is 20% per annum. The derivative components are measured at fair values at the date of issue and in subsequent periods with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

In 2015, the Company had fully repaid of such principal moneys under the Convertible Notes to the holders of the Convertible Notes on the Maturity Date.

28. CONVERTIBLE NOTES (Continued)

On 22 July 2015, the Company issued United States dollar denominated convertible notes with a principal amount of US$5,300,000 (“LA Convertible Notes”) to Chi Capital as part of the consideration for the acquisition of Chi Vision. The maturity date of the LA Convertible Notes is 21 July 2021 (“LACN Maturity Date”) which is 6 years from the date of issue of the LA Convertible Notes. The LA Convertible Notes are not interest bearing and mature on LACN Maturity Date at the principal amount. The LA Convertible Notes are convertible into shares at any time after the issuance up to, but excluding, 5 business days prior the LACN Maturity Date at the conversion price of HK$0.473, subject to anti-dilutive adjustments. The initial number of ordinary shares of the Company issuable upon conversion is 86,951,374 shares, which represent 1.82% of the total number of ordinary shares of the Company issued and outstanding as of the issue date of the LA Convertible Notes on a fully diluted basis.

The Hong Kong dollar equivalent of the principal amount of the 2021 Convertible Notes and LA Convertible Note being converted shall be calculated by using the fixed exchange rate of HK$7.76 per US$1.00.

The issue of the 2021 Convertible Notes and LA Convertible Notes was split between a liability component and an equity component in its initial recognition as follows:

  • (i) Liability component was initially measured at fair value amounted to approximately US$19,588,000 and US$2,732,000 for 2021 Convertible Notes and LA Convertible Notes respectively, which represents the present value of the contractually determined stream of future cash flows discounted at the prevailing market interest rate at that time applicable to instruments of comparable credit status and providing substantially the same cash flows, on the same terms, with the noteholder redemption option but without the conversion option. It is subsequently measured at amortized cost by applying an effective interest rate of 11.68% per annum after considering the effect of the transaction costs;

  • (ii) In the opinion of the directors of the Company, the economic characteristics and risks of the early redemption options are closely related to the host debt contract of the convertible bonds. Therefore, the Company did not account for the early redemption options separately; and

  • (iii) Equity component, which was equal to the difference between the principal and the fair value of the liability component, amounted to approximately US$18,412,000 and US$2,568,000 for 2021 Convertible Notes and LA Convertible Notes, respectively which was presented in equity as convertible note equity reserve.

During the year ended 31 December 2015, the fair value of the liability component upon initial recognition of the “2021 Convertible Notes” and “LA Convertible Notes” at the issue date was valued based on the valuation performed by Peak Vision Appraisals Limited, an independent valuer not related to the Group. The residual amount was assigned as the equity component and was included in the convertible note equity reserve.

30. SHARE OPTION SCHEME

A share option scheme (the “Share Option Scheme”) was adopted pursuant to a written resolution of the sole shareholder of the Company passed on 5 July 2005.

The purpose of the Share Option Scheme is to enable the Group to grant options to selected participants as incentives or rewards for their contributions to the Group. All directors, employees, suppliers of goods or services, customers, persons or entities that provide research, development or other technological support to the Group, shareholders of any member of the Group, advisers or consultants of the Group and any other group or classes of participants who have contributed or may contribute by way of joint venture, business alliance or other business arrangement and growth of the Group are eligible to participate in the Share Option Scheme.

The Share Option Scheme will remain in force for a period of 10 years after the date on which the Share Option Scheme is adopted.

The total number of shares which may be allotted and issued upon exercise of all options to be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme adopted by the Group must not in aggregate exceed 10% of the shares of the Company in issue on 10 October 2005 (the “General Scheme Limit”). The Company may renew the General Scheme Limit with shareholders’ approval provided that each such renewal may not exceed 10% of the shares in the Company in issue as at the date of the shareholders’ approval.

The maximum number of shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme adopted by the Group must not in aggregate exceed 30% of the shares in issue from time to time.

Unless approved by shareholders of the Company, the total number of shares issued and to be issued upon exercise of the options granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme of the Group (including both exercised or outstanding options) to each participant in any 12-months period shall not exceed 1% of the issued share capital of the Company for the time being.

An option may be accepted by a participant within 21 days from the date of the offer of grant of the option. A nominal consideration of HK$1 is payable on acceptance of the grant of an option. An option may be exercised in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme at any time during a period to be determined and notified by the directors to each grantee, which period may commence on a day after the date upon which the offer for the grant of options is made but shall end in any event not later than 10 years from the date of grant of the option, subject to the provisions for early termination thereof. Unless otherwise determined by the directors and stated in the offer of the grant of options to a grantee, there is no minimum period required under the Share Option Scheme for the holding of an option before it can be exercised.

The subscription price for the shares under the Share Option Scheme will be a price determined by the directors, but shall not be less than the highest of (i) the closing price of shares as stated in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotations sheet on the date of the offer of grant, which must be a business day; (ii) the average closing price of the shares as stated in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotations for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of the offer of grant; and (iii) the nominal value of the shares.
