2. aPPlicatiOn OF neW and reVised hOng KOng Financial rePOrting standards (“hKFrss”)

In the current year, the Group has applied the following new and revised Standards, Amendments and Interpretation (“new and revised HKFRSs”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).

The Group has not early applied the following new and revised Standards, Amendments or Interpretation that have been issued but are not yet effective.

hKFrs 9 “Financial instruments”

HKFRS 9 issued in 2009 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. HKFRS 9 amended in 2010 includes the requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and for derecognition.

Key requirements of hKFrs 9 are described as follows:

  • HKFRS 9 requires all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of HKAS 39 “Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement” to be subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent reporting 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.

— 5 —

  • The most significant effect of HKFRS 9 regarding the classification and measurement of financial liabilities relates to the presentation of changes in the fair value of a financial liability (designated as at fair value through profit or loss) attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability. Specifically, under HKFRS 9, for financial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss, the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability’s credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Under HKAS 39, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the financial liability designated as at fair value through profit or loss was presented in profit or loss.

The directors of the Company anticipate that HKFRS 9 will be adopted in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for its annual period beginning 1st April, 2015. The directors are in the process of assessing the impact on application of HKFRS 9 and the directors anticipate that these amendments to HKFRS 9 will have an impact on classification and measurement of the Group’s available-for-sale financial assets but not on financial liabilities.

new and revised hKFrss on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures

In June 2011, a package of five standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures was issued, including HKFRS 10, HKFRS 11, HKFRS 12, HKAS 27 (as revised in 2011) and HKAS 28 (as revised in 2011).

Key requirements of these five standards are described below.

HKFRS 10 replaces the parts of HKAS 27 “Consolidated and separate financial statements” that deal with consolidated financial statements and HK(SIC) — INT 12 “Consolidation — Special purpose entities”. HKFRS 10 includes a new definition of control that contains three elements: (a) power over an investee, (b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and (c) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. Extensive guidance has been added in HKFRS 10 to deal with complex scenarios.

HKFRS 11 replaces HKAS 31 “Interests in joint ventures” and HK(SIC) — INT 13 “Jointly controlled entities — Non-monetary contributions by venturers”. HKFRS 11 deals with how a joint arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control should be classified. Under HKFRS 11, joint arrangements are classified as joint operations or joint ventures, depending on the rights and obligations of the parties to the arrangements. In contrast, under HKAS 31, there are three types of joint arrangements: jointly controlled entities, jointly controlled assets and jointly controlled operations.

In addition, joint ventures under HKFRS 11 are required to be accounted for using the equity method of accounting, whereas jointly controlled entities under HKAS 31 can be accounted for using the equity method of accounting or proportionate accounting. The Group is currently using equity method to account for the joint ventures.

HKFRS 12 is a disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the disclosure requirements in HKFRS 12 are more extensive than those in the current standards.

— 6 —

These five standards are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January, 2013. Earlier application is permitted provided that all of these five standards are applied early at the same time.

The directors anticipate that these five standards will be adopted in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning 1st April, 2013. The directors anticipate that the application of these five standards will have no impact on amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements.

hKFrs 13 “Fair value measurement”

HKFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The scope of HKFRS 13 is broad; it applies to both financial instrument items and non-financial instrument items for which other HKFRSs require or permit fair value measurements and disclosures about fair value measurements, except in specified circumstances. In general, the disclosure requirements in HKFRS 13 are more extensive than those in the current standards. For example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the threelevel fair value hierarchy currently required for financial instruments only under HKFRS 7 “Financial instruments: Disclosures” will be extended by HKFRS 13 to cover all assets and liabilities within its scope.

HKFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st January, 2013, with earlier application permitted.

The directors anticipate that HKFRS 13 will be adopted in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the annual period beginning 1st April, 2013 and that the application of the new standard may affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and result in more extensive disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

amendments to hKas 1 “Presentation of items of other comprehensive income”

The amendments to HKAS 1 retain the option to present profit or loss and other comprehensive income in either a single statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. However, the amendments to HKAS 1 require additional disclosures to be made in the other comprehensive income section such that items of other comprehensive income are grouped into two categories: (a) items that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss; and (b) items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss when specific conditions are met. Income tax on items of other comprehensive income is required to be allocated on the same basis.

The amendments to HKAS 1 are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1st July, 2012. The presentation of items of other comprehensive income will be modified accordingly when the amendments are applied in the future accounting periods.

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

3. segment inFOrmatiOn

The Group’s operation is principally sales of watches. The Group’s turnover represents consideration received or receivable from sales of watches.

The Group has two operating segments, which are analysed based on geographical markets of the goods sold, being (a) Hong Kong, and (b) Macau and the PRC, which is also the basis of organisation of the Group for managing the business operations. The Group determines its operating segments based on the internal reports reviewed by the Managing Director of the Group that are used to allocate resources and assess performance.

The following is an analysis of the Group’s segment revenue and results by operating segments.

  • After adjusted for HK$68,592,000 for the year ended 31st March, 2011, being commission expense which is included in distribution and selling expenses.

The accounting policies used to determine segment revenue and results are the same as the accounting policies adopted in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Segment profit represents the profit earned by each segment without allocation of directors’ salaries, finance costs, share of results of associates and jointly controlled entities and unallocated other income and expenses. Unallocated expenses included auditor’s remuneration, directors’ emoluments and operating expenses of inactive companies. This is the measure reported to the Managing Director of the Group for the purposes of resources allocation and performance assessment.

The Group has no customer who contributed over 10% of the total revenue of the Group for any of the two years ended 31st March, 2012.

All segment revenue is generated from external customers for both years.

The segment assets by location of assets are the same as by location of markets of the goods sold.

For the purposes of monitoring segment performance and allocating resources between segments:

  • all assets are allocated to operating segments other than interests in associates and jointly controlled entities, available-for-sale financial assets, deferred tax assets and taxation recoverable as well as other receivables of the headquarters and bank balances and cash; and

  • all liabilities are allocated to operating segments other than taxation payable, deferred tax liabilities and bank loans as well as other payables of the headquarters. Bank loans are classified as unallocated corporate liabilities because they are managed centrally by the treasury function of the Group.

Hong Kong Profits Tax is calculated at 16.5% of the estimated assessable profits for both years.

Taxation in other jurisdictions is calculated at the rates prevailing pursuant to the relevant laws and regulations.

Under the Law of the PRC on Enterprise Income Tax (the “EIT Law”) and Implementation Regulation of the EIT Law, the tax rate of the PRC subsidiaries is 25% from 1st January, 2008 onwards. Certain subsidiaries that enjoyed a preferential tax rate prior to 1st January, 2008 will be gradually transitioned to the new tax rate over five years from 1st January, 2008. Therefore, the Enterprise Income Tax rate of these PRC subsidiaries was increased from 24% in the calendar year of 2011 to 25% in the calendar year of 2012 (2011: from 22% in the calendar year of 2010 to 24% in the calendar year of 2011).

The denominators for the purpose of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for the year ended 31st March, 2011 have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect the bonus issue of shares in July 2011 on the basis of one new ordinary share for every five ordinary shares held.

The diluted earnings per share for the year ended 31st March, 2012 has not included the effect from the Company’s share options granted on 29th August, 2011 because the exercise price of the share option is higher than the average market price of share of the Company.

13. share-Based Payment transactiOn

Pursuant to an ordinary resolution passed at the Company’s special general meeting held on 3rd November, 2003, the Company adopted a Share Option Scheme.

Under the Share Option Scheme, options may be granted to any director, employee, consultant, customer, supplier or advisor of the Group or a company in which the Company holds an interest or a subsidiary of such company (the “Eligible Persons”), the trustee of the Eligible Persons or a company beneficially owned by the Eligible Persons. The purpose of the Share Option Scheme is to attract and retain quality personnel and other persons to provide incentive to them to contribute to the business and operation of the Group. The total number of shares available for issue under the Share Option Scheme as at the date of this report is 23,950,852 shares. No Eligible Persons shall be granted an option in any 12-month period for such number of shares (issued and to be issued) which in aggregate would exceed 1% of the share capital of the Company in issue on the last day of such 12-month period unless approval of the shareholders of the Company has been obtained in accordance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange. The exercisable period is determined by the directors of the Company, which shall not be more than 10 years from the date of grant, and may include a minimum period for which the options must be held before it can be exercised. The exercise price per share payable on the exercise of an option equals to the highest of:

  • (a) the nominal value of one share;

  • (b) the closing price per share as stated in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotations sheet on the date of grant; and

  • (c) the average closing price per share as quoted in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotations sheet for the five business days immediately preceding the date of grant.

The Share Option Scheme will remain in force until 2nd November, 2013.

On 6th April, 2011, 32,300,000 share options were granted and on 29th August, 2011, 23,000,000 share options were granted. The options may be exercised by the grantees at any time during the option period up to the termination of employment. All share options vested immediately at the date of grant. The estimated fair values of the options granted on these dates are HK$44,855,000 and HK$48,698,000, respectively. The closing prices immediately before the date of grant were HK$3.95 and HK$4.38, respectively.

Risk-free rate 2.25%
Expected dividend yield 1.91%

Expected volatilities were determined by using the historical volatility of the Company’s share price over the previous years.

The final dividend together with the interim dividend of 3.0 HK cents and special dividend of 3.0 HK cents will represent a payout of approximately 38.0% for the year ended 31st March, 2012 (2011: 24.0%).

Business review and Prospects

Thanks to the burgeoning support of China’s luxury-seeking consumers, Hong Kong’s retail sales experienced a period of exponential growth during the course of 2011. However, amidst China’s credit tightening policies, the growth has subsided evidently in the first half of 2012. According to the latest government statistics, Hong Kong retail sales in April 2012 rose 11.4% from last year. This represented the slowest pace since 2009 as Mainland consumers curb their spending. As the economy and consumer sentiment towards the luxury market is direct, the Group’s watch sales were considerably affected during the year.

Despite softening retail sales, rental rates continued to soar and thoroughly tested Hong Kong retailers’ stamina. However, the Group remained resilient to rental pressures, as 5 out of 13 of our stores in Hong Kong are self-owned properties, thus rental as a percentage of turnover remained relatively stable during the year. In view of the above, the Group will continue to work on maximizing returns by employing prudent policies on its operating expenses and inventories, so as to keep costs to a minimum.

The Group’s expansion focus will remain on the China market. To expedite coverage, the Group acquired 40% interest in a PRC-based watch company on 19th July, 2011 and four new points of sales were introduced. The extended sales network is expected to open new growth opportunities for the Group in the China watch trading business. To effectively promote the “Oriental Watch” brand amongst Mainland consumers, the Group will also strategically increase its presence in 2nd and 3rd tier cities by opening self-owned retail stores accordingly along with strategic acquisitions to accelerate market exposure.

— 22 —

Whilst remaining dedicated to our core expertise as a luxury watch retailer, the Group is currently exploring other means of business to broaden product variety and ultimately our sources of income. On 27th March, 2012, the Group entered into a cooperation agreement with Larry Jewelry International Company Limited (“Larry Jewelry”, stock code: 8351) to jointly market Larry Jewelry’s products through the retail network of Oriental Watch. The collaboration is expected to commence in the second half of 2012.

Despite increasing turbulence in the financial markets, the Group is adamant that Hong Kong will continue to be a major shopping destination for Mainland Chinese tourists, who will benefit from the city’s lower tax rates and vast product ranges. Supported by the prime location our new Oriental Watch store in Tsim Sha Tsui East at New Mandarin Plaza, which commenced its operation in April 2012 and the anticipated opening of our second Rolex boutique in Causeway Bay at Hysan Place, the Group is in the best position to capture greater sales from such key tourist groups. Moreover, the Swiss Watch Federation reported that Hong Kong and China continues to be top importers of Swiss timepieces, indicating that Chinese demand for luxury watches are still strong. Looking ahead, the Group remains cautiously optimistic on the business outlook of the luxury goods market. Leveraging on our prestigious brand image and long establishment history, the Group will strive to capitalize on viable business opportunities and to achieve satisfactory returns for our shareholders.

On behalf of the Group, we thank our customers, suppliers, staff and shareholders for their loyalty and continual support.

human resOurces

As at 31st March, 2012, our Group had approximately 900 employees all over HK, Macau, China and Taiwan, in which 69% of whom were Mainland Chinese whereas 28% were local staff. The total manpower had slight increment over last year.

We deeply believe every customer does have expectations on the service they obtained. Thus, we must always strive to provide service beyond their expectations in order to maintain the most excellent quality and comprehensive of service. As such, more resources have been allocated to the Staff Training and Development aspect. Since January 2009, we commissioned an independent consulting firm to conduct a continuous “Mystery Shoppers Programme (MSP)”. This programme will help the management to gauge and monitor the overall service performance of our sales team. By analyzing the results of MSP, we are able to identify the areas for improvements in a more specific way such that our future training programme could be tailor-made to specific shop/ individual level. All the effort is to align with the Company’s philosophy of providing “Service Excellence” to customers, with the aim of impelling the Group’s business and making great strides forward unceasingly.
