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 HKFRSs issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

Amendments to HKFRSs Annual improvements to HKFRSs 2009 — 2011 cycle
Amendments to HKFRS 7 Disclosures — Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities
Amendments to HKFRS 10, Consolidated financial statements, joint arrangements and disclosure
HKFRS 11 and HKFRS 12 of interests in other entities: Transition guidance
HKFRS 10 Consolidated financial statements
HKFRS 11 Joint arrangements
HKFRS 12 Disclosure of interests in other entities
HKFRS 13 Fair value measurement
HKAS 19 (as revised in 2011) Employee benefits
HKAS 27 (as revised in 2011) Separate financial statements
HKAS 28 (as revised in 2011) Investments in associates and joint ventures
Amendments to HKAS 1 Presentation of items of other comprehensive income
HK(IFRIC*) — INT 20 Stripping costs in the production phase of a surface mine
  • IFRIC represents the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee.

Except as described below, the application of the new and revised HKFRSs in the current year has had no material impact on the Group’s financial performance and positions for the current and prior years and/or on the disclosures set out in these consolidated financial statements.

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

In the current year, the Group has applied for the first time the package of five standards on consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and disclosures comprising HKFRS 10 “Consolidated financial statements”, HKFRS 11 “Joint arrangements”, HKFRS 12 “Disclosure of interests in other entities”, HKAS 27 (as revised in 2011) “Separate financial statements” and HKAS 28 (as revised in 2011) “Investments in associates and joint ventures”, together with the amendments to HKFRS 10, HKFRS 11 and HKFRS 12 regarding transitional guidance.

— 5 —

HKAS 27 (as revised in 2011) is not applicable to the Group as it deals only with separate financial statements.

The impact of the application of these standards is set out below.

impact of the application of hKFrs 10

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 changes the definition of control such that an investor has control over an investee when (a) it has power over the investee, (b) it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and (c) has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. All three of these criteria must be met for an investor to have control over an investee. Previously, control was defined as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Additional guidance has been included in HKFRS 10 to explain when an investor has control over an investee. Some guidance included in HKFRS 10 that deals with whether or not an investor that owns less than 50% of the voting rights in an investee has control over the investee is relevant to the Group.

As a result of the adoption of HKFRS 10, the Group has changed its accounting policy with respect to determining whether it has control over an investee. The adoption does not change any of the control conclusions reached by the Group in respect of its involvement with other entities as at 1st April, 2013.

impact of the application of hKFrs 11

HKFRS 11 replaces HKAS 31 “Interests in joint ventures”, and the guidance contained in a related interpretation, HK(SIC) — INT 13 “Jointly controlled entities — Non-monetary contributions by venturers”, has been incorporated in HKAS 28 (as revised in 2011). HKFRS 11 deals with how a joint arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control should be classified and accounted for. Under HKFRS 11, there are only two types of joint arrangements — joint operations and joint ventures. The classification of joint arrangements under HKFRS 11 is determined based on the rights and obligations of parties to the joint arrangements by considering the structure, the legal form of the arrangements, the contractual terms agreed by the parties to the arrangement, and, when relevant, other facts and circumstances. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint operators) have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement (i.e. joint venturers) have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Previously, HKAS 31 contemplated three types of joint arrangements — jointly controlled entities, jointly controlled operations and jointly controlled assets. The classification of joint arrangements under HKAS 31 was primarily determined based on the legal form of the arrangement (e.g. a joint arrangement that was established through a separate entity was accounted for as a jointly controlled entity).

— 6 —

The initial and subsequent accounting of joint ventures and joint operations is different. Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method (proportionate consolidation is no longer allowed). Investments in joint operations are accounted for such that each joint operator recognises its assets (including its share of any assets jointly held), its liabilities (including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly), its revenue (including its share of revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation) and its expenses (including its share of any expenses incurred jointly). Each joint operator accounts for the assets and liabilities, as well as revenues and expenses, relating to its interest in the joint operation in accordance with the applicable standards.

As a result of the adoption of HKFRS 11, the Group has re-evaluated its involvement in its joint arrangements. The Group has reclassified the investment from jointly controlled entity to joint venture. The investment continues to be accounted for using equity method and therefore this reclassification does not have any material impact on the financial position and the financial result of the Group.

impact of the application of hKFrs 12

HKFRS 12 is a new disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the application of HKFRS 12 has resulted in more extensive disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

hKFrs 13 “Fair value measurement”

The Group has applied HKFRS 13 for the first time in the current year. HKFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance for, and disclosures about, fair value measurements. The scope of HKFRS 13 is broad: the fair value measurement requirements of HKFRS 13 apply 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 for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of HKFRS 2 “Share-based payment”, leasing transactions that are within the scope of HKAS 17 “Leases”, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value (e.g. net realisable value for the purposes of measuring inventories or value in use for impairment assessment purposes).

HKFRS 13 defines the fair value of an asset as the price that would be received to sell an asset (or paid to transfer a liability, in the case of determining the fair value of a liability) in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions. Fair value under HKFRS 13 is an exit price regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. Also, HKFRS 13 includes extensive disclosure requirements.

In accordance with the transitional provisions of HKFRS 13, the Group has applied the new fair value measurement and disclosure requirements prospectively.

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

The Group has applied the amendments to HKAS 1 “Presentation of items of other comprehensive income”. Upon the adoption of the amendments to HKAS 1, the Group’s “statement of comprehensive income” is renamed as the “statement of profit or loss and 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. Furthermore, 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 do not change the option to present items of other comprehensive income either before tax or net of tax. The amendments have been applied retrospectively, and hence the presentation of items of other comprehensive income has been modified to reflect the changes. Other than the above mentioned presentation changes, the application of the amendments to HKAS 1 does not result in any impact on profit or loss, other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income.

The Group has not early applied the following new and revised HKFRSs 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 was subsequently amended in 2010 to include the requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and for derecognition, and further amended in 2013 to include the new requirements for hedge accounting.

Key requirements of HKFRS 9 are described as follows:

  • 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. 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.

  • 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.

The new general hedge accounting requirements retain the three types of hedge accounting. However, greater flexibility has been introduced to the types of transactions eligible for hedge accounting, specifically broadening the types of instruments that qualify for hedging instruments and the types of risk components of non-financial items that are eligible for hedge accounting. In addition, the effectiveness test has been overhauled and replaced with the principle of an “economic relationship”. Retrospective assessment of hedge effectiveness is also no longer required. Enhanced disclosure requirements about an entity’s risk management activities have also been introduced.

The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of HKFRS 9 will not have significant impact on the amounts reported in respect of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities based on the Group’s financial instruments reported at the end of the reporting period.

The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of the other new and revised HKFRSs will have no material effect 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) Taiwan, 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 chief operating decision maker, being the Managing Director of the Group, that are used to allocate resources and assess performance. No operating segments identified by the chief operating decision maker have been aggregated in arriving at the reportable segments of the Group.

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

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 finance costs, share of results of associates and joint ventures and unallocated other income and expenses. Unallocated expenses include auditor’s remuneration, directors’ emoluments, exchange loss, impairment loss recognised in respect of goodwill 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, 2014.

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 joint ventures, available-for-sale financial assets, deferred tax assets, amount due from a joint venture, taxation recoverable as well as assets 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.

Under the 2003 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 trustee of the eligible persons or a company beneficially owned by the eligible persons. The purpose of the 2003 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. 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 “Listing Rules”). 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 fair value of the financial guarantee contracts at the grant date and at 31st March, 2013 and 2014 is not significant.

management discussiOn and analysis

group results

On behalf of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Oriental Watch Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”), I hereby present the audited consolidated results of the Group for the year ended 31st March 2014 (the “Year”).

— 21 —

Turnover for the year ended 31st March 2014 declined significantly by 7% to HK$3,477 million (2013: HK$3,733 million). Gross profit declined by 13% to HK$612 million (2013: HK$700 million) whilst gross profit margin dropped to 17.6% from 18.8% last year. Net profit attributable to owners of the Company was HK$21 million, representing a decrease of 87% from the previous corresponding year (2013: HK$162 million). Excluding the one-off net gain of HK$76 million recognised last year in relation to the disposal of property, plant and equipment, mainly comprised the gain on disposal on a shop premises, the adjusted net profit decrease from our core retailing business would have been 76%. Due to the adverse effect of the slowdown in China’s economy, the significant decline in both the Group’s revenue and net profit was mainly attributable to: (1) the consumers’ shift away from luxury consumption which has affected the Group’s sales volume during the Year, (2) this led to a year-on-year 1% decrease in the Group’s average selling price, and (3) the rising rental costs in Macau, Hong Kong and China, respectively.

The Board has resolved to recommend a final dividend of 0.25 HK cents per share for the year ended 31st March 2014 (2013: 5.0 HK cents). The final dividend together with the interim dividend of 0.75 HK cents per share, represented a dividend payout of approximately 28% for the year ended 31st March 2014 (2013: 25%).

The on-going economic instability continued to dampen the prospect for high-end consumption in China. According to Bain & Company, a global management consulting firm, growth specifically in China’s luxury market has slowed from 7% in 2012 to a mere 2% in 2013, reflecting the country’s weakening consumer sentiment and lower demand for high-ticket items. This is further supported by statistics from the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry, which indicated that Hong Kong and China’s overall Swiss watch exports value in 2013 has declined by 5.6% and 12.5% respectively. As one of the key luxury watch distributors in Greater China, Oriental Watch was inevitably affected by the above market factors. Facing the above factors, the Group acknowledges that the unfavourable market trend is expected to continue into 2014, and has since focused its efforts in improving internal efficiency and cost management during the Year, so as to maintain a stable financial position during times of uncertainty.

— 22 —

One of the major costs the Group remained adamant in tackling during the Year was rental expenses. Amidst a sluggish economic background, the Group’s aggregate rental costs (excluding related property management fees) for the year ended 31st March 2014 increased by approximately 18% to 225 million, accounting 36% of the Group’s overall operating expenses. The increase was mainly due to the lease renewal of 4 shops during the Year, namely in retail hotspots such as Tsimshatsui, Mongkok and Causeway Bay which commands a relatively higher rental rate. With the leases of approximately one-third of our Hong Kong retail stores to be renewed in the next fiscal year, the Group is cautiously assessing the performance its retail network to create best practices in managing rental expenditure. As such, the Group will consider closing low performing retail stores after the lease expiration in the coming year. Better resources allocation will ultimately help the Group optimize operating performance and same-store sales in the long-run.

The Group also remained disciplined in its inventory management and has lowered the replenishment rate of high-ticket items considerably during the Year. Together with the dedicated efforts of our front-line staff in accelerating inventory turnover, the Group’s overall inventory level declined by 8% from HK$1,944 million at 30th September 2013 to HK$1,788 million at 31st March, 2014. On a year to-year basis, inventory has in fact declined by 13% from HK$2,060 million at 31st March 2013. Since the beginning of the fiscal year, the Group has also progressively closed a number of investment accounts in China, which mainly comprised of concession counters in department stores, so as to control inventory flow and alleviate the risks of overstocking. In the coming year, the Group will continue to put effort in its inventory management and is confident that such initiatives will further improve the Group’s cash position for future business development.

Despite the Chinese luxury market normalizing to a more sustainable rate of growth during the Year, the Group believes that the demand for luxury goods will remain evident amongst Chinese consumers in the long term. According to Bain & Company, Chinese consumers remain the largest nationality of luxury buyers, accounting for 29% of the global market share in 2013, representing a 4 percentage point increase versus last year. This was mainly driven by an expanding Chinese middle class and their growing awareness for niche and exclusive brands. Looking ahead, the Group will continue to deploy appropriate strategies to elevate the productivity of existing stores, strengthen cost management and optimize its inventory profile, as well as enrich its product portfolio to capture opportunities within this particular consumer threshold.

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

As at 31st March, 2014, our Group employed approximately 790 employees all over Hong Kong, Macau, China and Taiwan, of which 60% of whom were located in Mainland China. The total manpower is slightly lower than previous year.

The Group’s compensation package, which includes basic salary, commission, annual bonus, medical insurance, and other common benefits, is structured by reference to the marketplace and individual merits, and is reviewed on an annual basis based on the Group policy’s performance system and objective specification performance appraisal.

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 have 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 efforts 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.
